Walk of Echoes: Has anything changed?

[Ziyyigo-Tipyigo]

You're giving the WoE mobs and bosses too much credit, they're nowhere near as facegrindy as they used to be, even my WHM can melee most of them safely.

"Most" ≠ "All." In WoE, "most" gets you nothing. If you don't bring enough to deal with 3 Caldera Crabs simultaneously, you're literally better off staying home.

The rest of your post can be summed up as "Bring your Abyssea LS." Effort vs. reward.

If you are dealing with all 3 boss crabs at once your execution of the fight is flawed. It is simple to pull them one at a time.

Enlighten me.

Enlighten me.

One person drop from party (you should have cleared the area before boss by now) BRD is best.

Mazurka up
run into agro range
run way (no claim) to that broken stair case 1 level up from start
One person who does not have a pet that will start hitting mob pulls one boss back to stairs
puller dies and reset of mobs reset.
Kill boss pulled.
repeat 2x more.

Very simple.

Maybe this event just isn't for you, bro. If you can't even figure out the Crabs then I just don't know what to say, other than what I mentioned in my second post.

The problem with WoE is the reward vs effort ratio. With only a few fluxes worth spamming. And you need a good amount of Smn and other pet jobs (mainly summoner) and ranged DD. Other than that, you could try with your normal old school party and see if you can do it without having to resort to the tried and true Summoners Brigade strategy Not to mention, WoE is somewhat dead now, even on japan primetime. Mstaru in Bahamut server is organizing two runs per week on Wed and Sat night, 10 pm EST I think. Summoners job pretty much needed to clear Flux 15.

If you could reserve a walk for your group/shell WoE would be much more popular. The main reason why shells won't do it is because a solo person can join and profit from the effort of a large group. Not saying that the solo player is not contributing but more of the lack of exclusivity for the shell is what is undesirable.

I can personally remember going in with a group of ten and having a random solo pld/dnc come in and snag first, replacing one of the DDs in my group on the list and did not get a chest. That kind of pisses people off and makes them not want to do content. Also the fact that mages get boned in this event is kind of crappy too.

What are you smoking? WoE does not work like this at all, everybody gets a chest based on their personal contribution, it's not possible to be locked out of a chest unless the DD that was "replaced" threw a fit and left. Also, mages are far from boned. Maybe try the event instead of making shit up?

I'm not "making shit up" at all. This is actually how WoE worked the last time my group did it. I can tell by your reaction you have no idea though. Must have been before you started playing.

When did you do this? Walk of Echoes chest and loot distribution changed ages ago, you get your own chest, everyone come in pretty much solo and as SMN or BST, RDM or BLMs, RNG - pretty much do distance fight and burn them using avatars/pet. SE revitalizes WoE shortly back in 2011 when they did massive changes then it died very fast and only get busy during Japan prime time. Now it is dead period lol.
