Any tanks have advice for A6S? A CD rotation would be great.
When are you swapping for the first 3 bosses? Are you saving CDs for certain points? The single cannon buster hits like a truck esp with 2+ stacks.
Are you popping a CD for mines or just waiting for healers? Maybe Convalescence like t8?
I feel like I'm being over defensive with my CD usage and would love any advice.
1st boss: We have PLD main tank it, war uses vengeance to eat mines and if he's also targeted with the dash I give him an extra adlo aside from the one I spread while we're doing our countdown before pull. They swap after the Blaster Mirages are killed, and the PLD eats the next set of mines with HG and healers focus on DPS. If PLD doesn't have HG they can just use Tempered Will to make it a lot safer and get heals between.
2nd boss: PLD MTs at first and they swap at 2 stacks. By the end of it, the original MT should be back on before the adds phase. Tanks can eat a single buster with 1 stack fine as long as there is a CD. If this happens when the WAR is tanking, he just uses Holmgang. Have your SCH/AST save virus/disable for that situation if its on the non-war tank.
3rd boss: WAR MTs the boss and uses vengeance almost right away, cause he punches super hard. They swap just before the first set of adds. PLD takes boss and uses sentinel as the adds come out because the boss does another huge punch. WAR should be using awareness and etc to mitigate damage from the adds, but they can be stunned and we stun them with holy spam. WAR will get one vuln stack from the gobwalker but the adds should die fast enough to not have it be a huge issue besides 1-2 big hits. Once this part is done, the PLD holds the boss the rest of the way. Shouldn't need any huge cds here because the damage is relatively low outside of autos + bio-arithmeticks x2.
4th boss: This boss hits like a truck because he actually does physical vuln up stacks. You need to time your CDs to relate to when he is going to punch you and apply the next stack, but this is also dependent on if you have your tanks swap. Big hits happen around when: the 1st debuff explodes, the 2nd debuff explodes, and the 3rd debuff explodes.
Grats boys. I'm glad it went down, if we had another a4s situation I'd be concerned.
Thanks. This tier should scale fairly well with gear.
Grats guys, awesome job on the clean sweep! Can you comment on acc requirements? According to Miunih A8s caster cap should be around 605. Still wondering about front/melee though. Rinchan has 710 base acc on the set he cleared with, wonder which food he used.
Grats guys! great work![]()
The DPS were likely overcap for the most part (I recall Alice saying he ran around 770 ACC). So all we can say is that over 700 ACC works, but we do not have definitive caps atm.
This blog has all their gear listed if you want to reference this: http://blog.livedoor.jp/umadori0726/.../48060476.html
Rip miu with drops
BLM's don't get drops in progression. At least in every raid tier i've done![]()
Thanks, this helps! If now we only knew which food Rin and Valerie used, we would already have a "it's definitely not higher than that" treshold... :D
awesome grats!!!!!!
Based on those pictures i should totally be melding my SCH in vit gear instead of acc. Grats on the kill!
Yugl your DRK is rocking 705 acc and your WAR 724. Did either use ACC food for A8?

Looks like there's been a second clear. Luftheim FC on Carbuncle. https://twitter.com/lesut27/status/709756255762391040
