Hunts need their HP scaled back

a lot of ARR a ranks can be soloed by sch with chocobo out. not sure about HW A ranks

I am doing a lot of hunt for collection and future benefits of relics. You see most people have seph ex weapons now. It does feel kind of dumb getting a worse weapon for all that work, which is why people aren't doing hunts. When I finish my next relic I won't even be using it cause already got seph weapons. A lot of people just don't think relics are worth it anymore, which is why hunts are so inactive.

I've successfully tank/healer 2 manned most of the HW A ranks. The HP amounts are fine.

The A & S ranks in ARR areas were scaled for light and full parties(or more) made up of level 50 characters, level 60 characters are somewhat more powerful, power creep has already scaled those hunts down quite a bit.

Are we on the same server? My friend and I duo them all the time. My hunt LS is always calling stuff out. o.O They are super easy lol

I'm in an extremely active hunt linkshell that spawns S ranks pretty often. *shrugs*

Barely anyone hunts on Cerberus anymore, in fact I think people generally stopped hunting not even that long after Heavensward was released. It went from people zerging them to nobody even calling them. The back and forth arguments about how many people hunt on each others servers is rather silly as every server is different.

I don't see the point in scaling their HP back when it will need to be increased again when they become relevant - but I do think they should implement a system where a hunts HP is determined based on how many people previously killed the hunt. I made a thread requesting this a long time ago and didn't get much response, however this is how the FATE system works so I don't see anything wrong with applying this to hunts.

We have hunting linkshells established on our server to pull people in helping us even at dead times. It's not so hard to gather some friends to help I imagine which is the purpose of group activities.

Please tell me which HW A mark you have duo in 300 seconds in under i200 gear? ^^;

Uh, are you playing on the same Cerberus as me? Hunting is pretty active, there's multiple relatively busy hunting LS which call hunts basically around the clock, and I know several people who are very actively involved in spawning S ranks. We've killed KB - arguably the most difficult S rank that currently exists - at basically every time of the day already, even at 4 in the morning. There's rarely times when any S rank (excluding Nuny) is left open for an extended period of time, and many of them are regularly spawned before 50%. In short: I don't really understand what you're on about, hunting on Cerberus is fine.

Every ARR A rank Hunt, for the exception of the walking desert cucumber, can be soloed with a healer/damage dealer combo chocobo back up. The claw will be a lost cause if it throws up both buffs as counter measures at the same time. To the original poster, if you can't solo or even duel them at level 60 il190+, you are doing something wrong.

I've been trying to kill A ranks for months now purely for the achievement and have to scrape friends together to kill them. I'm not sure what you're talking about, either. Maybe we play at different times and hunts are more active at certain times but this doesn't mean I haven't seen countless A ranks sitting around after being called and nobody even shows up.

The only recently activity I've seen is a group of people zerg an S rank in Hinterlands a few days ago. /shrug

Maybe I need a new huntshell. Still, this doesn't mean other servers are active. I still stand by what I said - hunts need fixing in some way.
