Pretty tough fight with just 3 physical Dps

gratz.

We have the same make up, but a Black Mage instead of summoner and we do it completely different haha. Grats though!

Good job :D

Gratz on the kill, but judging from the video you make things tougher than they need to be. We clear this turn weekly with almost an identical setup (we run 2 PLDs and a BLM in place of your SMN). At first I notice loads of unnecessary target switches and loads of running around and chasing targets at the cost of DPS. We usually focus targets, so if one target is the focus, we kill it all the way through instead of switching after half of the HP is down.

Things that really confused me:

- In p6 you don't feed bugs instantly to the last dread, but still DPS the dread half way through (though he is healed up completely after you feed the bugs in the end; all of the DPS you did on him was wasted); this also leaves your healers having to deal with taking dmg from the bugs. I recommend fedding the bugs right away or at least to not do any DPS on the dread before it is being fed
- the rook is kited and your monk has to chase it across the place. Have one of your melees tank it. Pox can easily be avoided by running through the rook during the cast time
- In p4 one of the rooks is tanked aside from the other rook and the rest of the bugs, and the rook even makes it into the next phase (which can be a dangerous thing, if your tank eats pox prior to the dread spawn); we always kill rooks first, but you could've just drawn the rook into the group just like the rest of the mobs, so it could've died due to AoE just before the dread spawns

Our strategy is completely different btw.

I think it's easier with just physical dmg - my static in T4 is 1x PLD, 1x WAR, 1x WHM, 1x SCH, 2x BRD, 1x MNK, 1x DRG and had never problems at all. I don't understand why people still believe caster are mandatory for this fight.

Anyway gratz for your achievement.
