Fortunately the drops for tank suck, so not too worried. might be worth it for glamor, but the lack of acc and parry for pld makes this lol. tidal wave sword, a curtana or bravura novus / animus, burtgang or high alagan axe would be better for the ilevels.Quote:

In the end the 'tactic' makes the encounter less significantly demanding, the add are a dps check after all, so it is an exploit.
Will SE take any action against those that do it. I seriously doubt it. Will they patch it? If the behaviour becomes prevalent as it seems it is then I'm sure they will.
If it looks like an exploit, acts like an exploit, it's an exploit. -

What about coil turn 2? People were literally saying the exact same thing you're saying now. People were even saying that SE patched it shortly after, which was a complete lie. SE never touched it.
Feeding dreadnaughts everything in turn 4 was also not SE's intended mechanic for the fight. See point 1 with warriors for their reaction.
People cried when they found out the first twintania kill was circumventing death sentences by standing in conflageration. THIS MUST BE AN EXPLOIT, they said.
So, this whole screaming something as an exploit has gotten old. Move along. -

Titan-Egi works because it is earth elemental, you could say he is.... "grounded"(even though he floats)
working as intended. -
07-15-2014, 04:31 PMMissENot sure what are you smoking, Titan-Egi can have 10k+ hp, and since it has a build in AoE damage reduction, it doesn't really need any defensive CDs.Quote:

It has nothing to do with elemental, unless you are being sarcastic.Quote:

Anyway, I hope people are willing to accept tanks as DPS when using this strategy. We did try this with 2 tanks going in with STR accessories and it's just as easy. -

Titan is only able to tank due to Ramuh only using magic attack right? (which means egi's don't get hit as hard)
Hardly think it's going to replace tanks altogether. -

Im always excited when someone finds a way to get around boring tank swap mechanic.
