Satasha Final Boss

The tail attack brings them down to a low % but can never kill them unless your healer is slow and can't get rid of everyone's' Slime debuff. The boss getting Haste and hitting the tank harder has nothing to do with being able to deal with it.

I am going to ignore the stuff about scholar healing in this boss fight as I am sure it's easier with a pocket cure going off while you spam leeches and whispering Dawn when it's up, I've done it and you are right about that part. However, I am referring to more WHM play in difficulty and boss difficulty in general in Sasatasha HM, especially with the boss in hasten state and with regen tics. I've witnessed the regen tic happen, then slime tic right after tail swipe, it has ALOT to do with it. Since 2.4 I along with several other WHM (hopefully you did too) experienced a noticeable difference in cast time, meaning it's slower in general), dunno if it was intentional or not, but it's there. With keeping the tank at full life AND with applying regen and esuna to most of the team it is some what problematic. Don't misunderstand me. I am NOT by any means saying it is impossible, but I am saying this boss fight is the more difficult to deal with compared to the remaining bosses of this dungeon. That was my point. Although, I know that the OP was talking about the HP of the Kraken, which I totally agree with. I just made a statement that this boss is the more complicated one to deal with, NOT that I don't know how to...

Thank you. I like simple answers like that.

Unlike this one...

But let me be a little mean in return in saying I bet you're one of the crybabies that scream noob when someone dies to something they don't understand and then cause a team wipe when they say they are new to a specific fight rather than lend a hand and explain certain mechanics before the fight begins, excpecting to pull the weight yourself.

I'm gonna quote you in closing. "If I can help someone understand a survival mechanic, anyone can..." :p

Actually, I'm probably far more patient than most. Wipes happen, even to experienced parties. If someone's new or not quite aware of mechanics, I'd rather take the time necessary to explain things than expect someone to just figure it out. No reason to get upset or anything. Case in point, I DID share that Prey can be passed. This was after trying everything else I knew from other content; soaking, positioning, etc. I'm confident in my own ability to figure things out, or at least think on my feet in a pinch, but not sharing what I learn is just a disservice to the party, and by effect, myself. I'm totally cool with trial and error, especially if the end result is "Duty Complete".

My "If I can do it, anyone can" was meant to be a bit of a poke at myself. This is the first MMO I've ever really got into. And for all I've done or am able to do, I don't believe it's so amazing or unique that others can't do it. If I might be so nerdy to say it, my approach to almost everything here is "there is no spoon".

I swear to God, half the forums need to go back to school and learn to read.

I swear you're lying about how great your team is or you can't tell time. I ran Sastasha HM with regular pugs and none of them were as elite as you claim and we didn't take more than a few minutes to beat down the boss. I won't go over the mechanics, because you're so familiar. You're either doing it wrong, lying about your DPS, or time moves more slowly in your universe. Is the final boss boring and repetitive? You betcha. But does it really take a ton of time? Not if you're DPS is doing things right.

Edit - maybe you're in Eorzea Daylight Savings Time?

It does have mroe health than it needs. I can understand considering the graphics size but....we're still just attacking a name.
