the new trial is too hard

We killed him before he even gets to the last dragon killer. So, you can miss at least one. But your DPS need to hit the boss hard everytime they can (healers and tanks too)
In fact, he didn't even destroy the barrier before the powder barrels...

It is easy, just need a few brain cells and the ability to communicate.

Thanks, I don't play any melee classes yet so wasn't sure if it would have been good enough. Nobody would use it when I asked anyway so it was a moot point.

Next run though I'll mention it! Again, many thanks. =)

This fight took me 2 groups. on the last group 3 tries. The fight is fun and really not hard. Day one and a post about something being too hard comes out. This is insanely funny to me. I haven't even beat Turn 7 and its nerfed to the ground can't beat it because people think its too hard. how can this game ever expand on ideas or new forms of content because the first day people complain about how hard it is? I love that fight and will do it again just for fun. If this fight is too hard I wonder what is easy.

I think it's just needing communication, I tried it yesterday, after first "wipe" people just left. Didn't have time for a second try, so I'll be retrying today. But as far as I noticed in my run was that the communication was off. Tank didn't get the mobs near enough to be cannoned, and i could cannon them when the dragon was almost on me, so I had time just for 1-2 times to shot on them.

I haven't cleared it but; as far as I saw to get the trial done is: 8 people have to communicate and do what they are supposed to do.

My main complaint is that I do not like cannon bosses and that this entire fight structure is actually just a worse version of Monster Hunter, a game I do not get to play because I do not own a 3DS. S-E, please buy me a 3DS and I will feel less sour about this trial.

Finally beat it with the help of two FC members last night, my FC boss and another awesome dude
they both tanked, healers did snares and me and another guy cannoned nonstop, this strategy worked.
I was going to go in as a tank but we decided that if i cannon it would be best if I go in as DPS even tho my summoner is a lvl99

My FC guys coordinated the battle amazingly and as soon as everyone was comfortable with the situation after 2-3 tries we did it.

Problem is, I was less than good, in fact I was embarrassingly bad considering how good I normally was at this, I'd easily do cannons and snares no problem before but I was so exhausted after 24 hours of pugging this that well I was off my game and then some.

Man I owe my FC so much
such wonderful people, can't thank them enough.
They're always so nice to me.

still stand by what I was saying though
this is a terribly designed battle if only for the fact that it runs on its own time

I didn't really find it difficult at all. It just requires coordination.

The fight was not difficult once everyone knew what they were suppose to be doing and what to expect. I was in a DF group and it just took three tries.

Healer of choice for cannons: White Mage.

Reason:
White Mage can man cannons. After second set explode, run under the boss
And use PoM + holy spam (feel free to apply dots)

You can dump all your MP this way, and restore it to full before next cannons. This will also help clean up my lingering adds.
