::Fun Time!:: - Your favorite fight so far in 2.0!

I can't believe I am saying this considering how long it took me to find a working party to finish it but for me it is probably Odin. I HATE mechanics. Anytime I have to go touch something or stop fighting or look away or....well, you get it. Odin was just hard enough while being very simple in terms of what you need to do.

Titan and Shiva for the first time. Titan because of the music transitions, and Shiva for turning the music transition into something utterly amazing.

Honestly I think like, every first-time Primal. Always the first. After that it's just business as usual.

What am I talking about?

Titan Extreme :D

I love me some Titan X in a good group. In a bad group, it's miserable. I feel the same way about it, though. When I was first trying to clear it, it was so damn frustrating. Once we got it to 1% and wiped, and a healer ragequit on us. Even after I'd beaten it, I was afraid to tank it until a friend "mistakenly" queued for Titan X instead of Titan HM while we were farming light. Yep, I basically got thrown into tanking it. To this day I think he did it on purpose.

Yes! Love this one too. It's challenging, especially in DF. I actually really enjoy helping people get their first clears on this one, because it's usually newer people and they're always so damn happy about it.

Leviathan X, Shiva X, Odin, and T9 are up there too. This game just has some amazing content. :3

I don't think I could pick one favorite, honestly. :x

Titan X is a lot more fun to tank than Titan HM, fun to single tank it also. Hoping as the game goes on they add more interesting mechanics for tanks to have to deal with in fights. FCoB is on the right track to add more challenge to tanking tho, so pretty hopefull. One of my fave tanking experiences in an MMO was launch Age of Conan, tanking was based on active blocking and gear didn't matter much, it couldnt carry you. 2nd boss in one of the early raids hit way too hard, so you had to kite it whilst keeping enough enmity so it could be burned down in time. Whilst timing blocks to survive its hits then kiting more so healers could fill you back up before you eat dirt, Was intense, but totally fun.

Hard to pick one, so I'll pick 3.

Titan EX
T9
T13
Still Titan EX is my favorite because it's not 10+ mn long, although T9 and T13 are still amazing

T9 is my favorite now that I'm really really good at it. Once you are really good at T9 the fun of the fight unlocks... moreso if you're in a group who is also really good at the fight. Seeing all of the challenging mechanics being handled so smoothly is very satisfying.

Titan EX, and HM. Very mechanic intense fights. DPS end up understanding 'It's not the healer, it's you' very fast.

Amazing music also :D

(Close third: Pre-nerf AK wall)

I'd probably go with Titan EX overall. Even though it's borderline impossible for people with any kind of lag, when you do it right you feel like a goddamn ninja.

Best music, I'm going with Shiva
Best story fight, Chrysalis
Best job fight, NIN Lv45
Greatest use of beard in fight, Ramuh!

Cerberus gave me the best first impression. Demon Wall was right up there. Titan EX is my favorite challenging fight, although it is only fun because I've gotten good at it. It's still pretty unfun if I play with a bad group. For me that's kind of the metric: it has to be challenging but not so challenging that it takes me hours, days, weeks to beat. After a certain point it is just frustrating.

Titan Ex kicks tons of butt. T13 music makes it epic. Haven't stepped into savage much but it was fun, but since it was a pug we didn't get far. But I have to echo what the TC said. T9 is perfect in every way, shape, and form.
