Buff Mist Dragon plz

Was a pita per usual. I do ms dungeons 1x only just to get rid of it.

I feel like I am missing some sort of tell for the dives. They seem impossible to dodge even when you are on the edge of the affected area (or I had really bad lag both times I did the dungeon). But I have no idea how to tell what direction the dive will be from.

The part I'm having the most trouble with are the heads. I never manage to kill them in time no matter the DPS

I swear the hitboxes are bigger than what appears. There were times I was out of the AoE and still was frozen.

For the dives, as far as I can tell they always come from the Cardinal Directions (N, S, E, W) so stand in betweeon (NW, SW, SE, NE) but I've only done it 3 times, and the first time was a mess, so no promises.

Hope this thread is a troll. I wiped once and healing it was akin to something out of savage. It was perfect.

Yeah, they really don't give you much time to react to the AoEs, and you get like 5-10 seconds between some of his big AoEs, so you have to AoE heal and fast or someone's dropping dead.

Still think it's a bit too cheap and reliant upon group composition, though. You shouldn't *need* a RDM or SMN as one of the DPS's to give you a reasonable chance of actually doing it, just because of a cheap AoE that near one-shots you and stuns you for 5 seconds with a DoT, by the time the stun wears off, you get 2-3 seconds to dump an instant heal on yourself or you're dead plain and simple and your group is going to follow soon after if nobody can raise you.

And even if you do dump a panic instant heal on youself, his next AoE is just about to hit and if you didn't heal the rest of your group, a DPS or two are gonna be dead as well.

They got raid mechanics here that usually have 2 healers to deal with, in a 4man group and I think it's just a bit much.

I love how difficult this one is. We went through blind and didnt wipe to this one (arbortoreum final boss was another matter....). I like the dragon and love how fast the attacks pull off however i wish the divebomb had a tell. if it had one, i never saw it even when i looked straight at the charge. But I love the fact the boss was difficult. More Mist Dragons please.

Were you running with a group of i370 players? These dungeons are min ilvl i355 i think, so they're designed for players without previous raid gear. At/above i370, you can face roll the dragon down in about 90 seconds.

I don't think so. I ran it with my PLD and DRK both at 355 and hard an equally hard time with both.
And yeah the dragon's HP goes down fast but I don't have the time to get my gear to 370.

That said with the new patch I probably will be able to reach that level but not everybody has the time for that.

Sorry if I sound harsh by the way.
