Tiamat / Cerberus random death and damage :(

[Rilu]

We had a warrior/Thief drop dead at cerberus after doing a SATA steel cyclone. I think the fact that you don't see the dmg could just be from missed entries in the log because of lag. I have a great connection and machine speed, and in dynamis, I still miss seeing some attacks I take, etc. Like last night, I saw myself get whiplash 4 times from dynamis lord, but I only had 1 hit in the log, said that I took like 300 dmg and then I was dead, didn't show the other 900 dmg it would have had to do to kill me.

If I had to write my own conlusion to this issue, i'd say, it happens rarely enough, and at large enough lag enhanced areas, that it could just be the log failing to register information. Alot of times, you think you're out of AOE range, but you really are not and you can get nailed, etc.

I don't think Genbu's problem is counter... I've only ever seen the tank affected by his problem, never someone else (not even when attacking in front). Also, I've lost shadows from Genbu without the log while chi kiting in a group of 4. I'd just reapplied Utsusemi: Ni and then ran past him... 1 double attack (2 shadows) later and my shadows are all gone.

I know 100% fact Genbu has counter. It's not just missing shadows, he does the animation aswell.

Have a Ridill WAR tank (And I'd imagine NIN would work aswell) built with enough ACC to land hits consistantly (Since you can't counter a miss. And Genbu, aswell as all Gods, are amongst the evasive mobs in the game, so you need a LOT of ACC to be able to land consistantly enough) and load him with dual march and haste so that they never stop attacking. Genbu starts having an animation like he has hundred fists on when the tank is swinging.

He actually became one of the only mobs that I enjoyed tanking. It was like tanking through hundred fists for a whole fight, without the gayness of being one shot right away but with still a high chance of dieing due to full offensive gear/berserk/head butt/him hitting like a truck/Poisonga/ect. Kinda funny that lolGenbu can become one of the hardest mobs in the game to blink tank. :wink:

But you can counter a mob when it's at any angle. The Genbu thing only seems to happen in front. Seems more like his double attacks are actually triple attacks or something silly like that. *shrug*

You can only counter something directly in front of you. Hence for AF3 Mnk you have the DDs stand on the opposite side of the tank.

...eh, I coulda sworn I've countered something hitting me from behind... Easy enough to test for myself though.

[NynJa]

you can counter anything that is between your 270 degree and 90 degree angle.

I'm not surprised I didn't know that, considering I tank everything nowadays and half for the past year and a half, but still. >_>

As a THF,

you could make the stretch that they're doing it

on your thief

I was questioning whether or not he built tp by meleeing Tiamat since I didn't think people did that. People bitch about melees on Fafnir, so it's quite surprising that people would melee Tiamat, who supposedly doesn't even have automed, let alone a thf.

People mistype things all the time, I was asking for clarification, no need to jump down my throat over nothing.
