1) Mortal State cast, look away. If you do get doomed, walk into one of the glowing small circles.

2) When the Aoe circles happens like 100 Flare, stay in them with a group. 1 person is bound in them and you need to share damage.

3) When he does the full ground aoe in 2 colors(white and red), swap them each time he cast it. So for example, Red : White : Red : White etc. Getting 3 of 1 kind, is pretty much insta kill.

4) Kill hourglass when they pop up.

5) thats about it.

I like how they've tuned the difficulty just right enough to remain a challenge once people mostly run around in i120+ gear but still manageable with the current average ilvl, as long as people handle mechanics right. I would've been disappointed if WoD turned out to be a tank n spank like ST.

Also;
FFXIV WoD > WoW WoD
A rather sad fact.

Having cleared it twice, I can happily say that WoD is my favorite in the series now... when done right... which my first run (expectedly) was not. Good lord, our struggle bus broke down on the very first boss, leaving me questioning my life decisions.

Happy I stuck with it, though! If not only for the music alone. My god... this whole patch has the best music so far.

Feels like they've come a long way since the original wing of CT (which was still pretty okay); the WoD fights are really cool.

Cerb is a nice fight. though i was hoping for something different. the flowers felt out of place and he should have used a bit more fiery magic and stuff.
entertaining anyway. my first thought was, this will be a King Behemoth pain like fight with 23 ppl you don't know, but ppl adapted faster than i thought.
Cloud of Darkness on the other hand... if ppl don't want to listen or straight out can't understand the language of the raid, there are lots of ways to die to.

It's an identical mechanism to Petrifaction in Turn 7 - in fact, a lot of the mechanics in WoD have analogous mechanics to Second Coil, just generally far less deadly.

YOU CAN DO THAT?! @.@

I always do the Qarn method. get doomed then run to shinies

My first time in WoD, my Alliance gets volunteered for feeding Cerberus.

And this is all that I can think of

It's awesome fights like Cerberus that make me disappointed that there is no difficulty 24 man raid in this game. Now don't get me wrong I am not trying to be elitist and I fully understand why CT/ST/WOD are what they are, but seriously SE comes up with some cool looking and engaging enemies/battles in these raids and there just over before they begin cause obviously the challenge is just not there. I wouldn't mind spending a few days wiping to an extreme mode Cerberus or extreme mode Cloud. Hopefully we can will see some difficult 24 mans in the expansion. Thumbs up to SE for making a very awesome fight.

Perhaps making the final coil, savage mode would be better for those seeking challenges, because the whole CT/ST/WoD line is for those who can not partake in Final coil and provides a nice, weaker gear way to gear up. If they were to make it harder, id like some sort of extreme only loot.

Maybe Cerberus with a Haste mode like in Coil if you take to long to kill him.

I love all of WoD. :3 I actually enjoy the final boss too. Cerberus is lots of fun though, especially if you are on dog food duty.
