Hell, last Fafnir we claimed was at 96% in about 10 seconds with hate still on the tanks (And they kept it throughout the whole 15 minute fight). So basically if you think RDM needs more than 30 SECONDS you are mistaken. That is all.

Interesting. Every time we witness RDM/NIN tanks at Fafnir, it takes more than 30 minutes for Fafnir to die. So either you kill it a lot faster when BG is not in Dragon's Aery, or you are fighting it near a black hole- the time dilation would explain why it is 30 minutes to the rest of us, but 15 minutes to the people fighting.

Perhaps they lack damage, maybe its fear of their damage dying or maybe they just don't want to push their tanks. These things may cause PM, FI and Ride to take longer than 30 minutes. I guarantee they aren't waiting more than 5 minutes because their tanks are building hate when it takes 30 seconds.

AV hasn't taken more than 25 minutes to kill any Fafnir/Nidhogg in the past 11 months... (Except the time we claimed with 3 people and waited for 30 minutes for help)

Blaming the slow killing speed on RDM tanks is a pretty dumb thing to say.

[Seditedi]

Belkin is correct, slow kill speed has nothing to do with RDM tanking.

I'm pretty sure you guys were there when Ridexiru killed it in 8 minutes with a few people short of a full alliance using RDM/NIN tanks lol

We were.

FI killed it in 4mins 45 seconds with 16blms and 2 rdm/nins i've heard.

if anyone is curious on how to rdm/nin tank, make a mule on bahamut, run to DA and just watch.

Forget RDM tanking, everyone should do this for the lulz.
