I've had a few Somh Al runs like that. That first boss, I've even joined the crowd who ignores the mechanics, since they don't really hit hard enough to worry about even with low DPS or a weak healer. Still, if you think that run was rough, just wait for the next two dungeons you'll get. The next one in particular still gives me trouble at the final boss with most DF groups regardless of whether I'm healing or DPSing. And the dungeon after is considered by many to be HW's version of AV, (though I didn't personally have trouble with AV). It's a pain to heal, and the last boss is personally the hardest one to heal I've experienced in the game, (though I don't heal in Savage, so those are probably harder), and career healers even tend to have trouble with it their first few times.......Quote:

12-11-2015, 11:47 PMTwiliteTo be totally honest here the one problem groups tend to have with the Aery is the last boss. Not going into details because spoilers, but as a tip, Medica II/Medica will be your friend.Quote:

a) have everyone hug boss as the only dmg to dps is raid-wide why split up? AOE heals = win here
b) kill fetters
c) do not have adds cleave at the end so you don't have to waste mp -

A. Can be bad news still.
B. Healer can get caught in it too, so success on this fight falls on DPS not tunnel visioning.
C. You know two of those mob groups ignores the tank, so there is going to be unavoidable cleaving. The other one needs to be stunned.
D.

Just got out of living hell DF with two hellacious DPS, who kept emoting each other, and getting lovey dovey in the middle of the fight while everyone is getting beaten upon. One of the DPS dies at final boss fight and instead of waiting for a res, she respawned, and proceeded to do stupid things at the lockout like pretending her lover is on Mars or something. We totally got trolled, since the remaining dps in the fight was a machinist and he kept stopping to respond to his "lover", and that also he wasn't smart enough to move out of AoEs -_-
Needless to say, the tank and I weren't amused. -

Tank in the Vault. First thing he said "please PL me, I'm undergeared". And he was damn right. Jewels, clothes were 110/130, and a magitek 130 ax.
He shouldn't have said anything, I like gambling.
I made a deal to myself, for every pull we kill, I'd take one piece of gear too, just so he understands how inconsiderate it can be to join a dungeon without the very minimum of gearing up.
We cleared everything no problem (I had to keep my i200 rod, nothing in my inventory to use instead). Reached last boss and at that time I had taken basically everything off, but the weapon which made me ilvl 58. We wiped. One dps asked how come I was fighting naked, and I answered.
Tank replied that he, unlike me, hadn't "chosen" to be undergeared. (I still need to figure out how that can be possible, but meh ?)
And then a smart DPS suggested I should gear up again one piece for every wipe we faced. 2nd try, with my chest back, i68 / 5500 HP, we cleared it.
I had to spam /manage mana like never before, and got killed by almost anything (the attack after the adds left me with ~200 hp)
It was sort of fun trying new things and pretty much challenging. But still...
