Even with a Paladin they don't get hit that hard. The one spot strategy is so easy it's ridiculous.

Hello,

I've noticed with a decently equipped party it's possible to:
Start tanking up top.
All ranged start attacking from bottom.
When ghosts appear, everyone goes up.
Finish off the ogre.

(Do not even have to go back down again as he dies pretty quickly. Well, you have to go back down to get the chest, but that's it ^.^ )

I don't see the big deal this is the ogre, once a tough & long fight turned into a 30 sec fight. I'm sure someone on the server can run you through this.

I did this dungeon with a party of 4 without a problem, but we are fully leveled and geared. I may have missed it but what is your party a setup like?

My LS took like 8~ or so tries (with 3 out of our 8 having done that fight and won it previously, also a handful of us were derping there) until we realized that actually attacking that sucker from the back IS a good idea, if used properly. The thing is, if you attack it from the back it'll do the elbow drop, which is a conal AoE, and that takes priority over all of it's other moves, so you can essentially keep it busy elbow-dropping all the time and prevent it's AoE skill and prevent it from causing too much damage to the tank.

its not a bad strat as long as your melee know what they are doing as well as the tank. If you happen to need to move it then the tank cant get to far away or he will spit on everyone and that can easily take out a few members.

This was exactly the way the group I went with not too long ago used. We had 2 whitemages and a War Tank I believe. It went off without much of a hitch. Someone specific watched the ghosts and had a macro to let everyone else know when to move up or down. Tank stayed put. It was only a month ago so I don't believe it is an "outdated tactic"
hope that helps.

The ogre dies in about 20 seconds, think some of you people are over complicating it a bit.

Thankyou for all the strategies and tips. As a representative of Distant World Masamune I give you our humblest thanks. With your help we were able to create a strategy of our own using alittle bit of everything. We will test it and get back to you with the results of the battle.

I've always found the real trick to this fight is to have a single melee focus on attacking its back to force elbow drop and then dodge it. Prevents the ogre from doing other more devastating things.

The only other thing i constantly have to tell people is, When the Ogre Rages, Dont Run Away From Him!!!!! If the person with hate gets too far away from the Ogre he does a Cone AOE Fire Spit that can one shot people and will put everyone one to two hits away from death. You HAVE to walk.
