thats no fun =/

Added to the reddit post but copying over here too:

Turn 2
You must Kill Quarantine node.
You must leave Ballast up while running at least one melee.

Turn 4
You have to feed 4 bugs to every dreadknought.

Turn 5
All but 1 or 2 dps must enter into the hard burn conflags in P2 (alternative require a minimum number of stacks of waxen flesh on the burn phase conflags).
You must 1 tank. You must run 2 melee dps (alternatively all physical DDs).

*quick edit: not really suggesting all these together; I'm just suggesting ideas in general.

Yeah I decided to simplify the turn 4 explination thats pretty much what I was trying to get :P (Thank you)

The Ballast thing really isnt that challenging because when ADS starts casting ballast melee can easily move to dodge it before it even starts showing red death marks if you know how ballast works. But this raised another idea that we should leave the flame aoe node up (Go straight to the right side to quarantine node) There are a few possibilites with this fight until we actually start doing it we don't know which is more difficult.

The turn 5 thing isn't that bad. I feel it may be hard to justify I'm not sure yet :P

How is this even a challenge?

Clear coil in 40minutes, and 4 WP's in another 40mins (including exit/reentry time). Log off for 6 days, 22 hours and 40 minutes.

How is that a challenge? Let's see whether you can hold yourself from logging in for 6 days 22 hours and 40 minutes :D

Do you mean holding 2 bugs the entire fight? to make the last DK have 4 stacks? Otherwise we've already killed it with 4 stack -> 4 stack -> 2 stack (2 bugs last wave :/)

And if you are going to split burn Caduceus you might as well make T1 ADS fun also: 1 Tank.

I know we already do this, but ADS with 4 melee is something many (if not all?) FC's have never done on Turn 2... its not terribly difficult but a lower level challenge; since you could rank the challenges in difficulty.

Yeah You would have to hold 2 bugs from either the Stage 4 or Stage 1 :)

T1 ADS Solo Tank actually sounds fun since the orbs will buff as well so thats not too much to ask for.

As for the 4 melee dps I don't like making challenges off raid comp situations I feel twisting and turning the fight might be more exciting and difficult since some guilds dont have the people to participate in certain raid comps. But its a good idea :)

Either way, aren't there still only 10 bugs for 3 dreadnoughts?

edit: unless you mean holding 2 from the very, very beginning

Clear coil with no bards and no ranged dps.

Unless I smoke crack during turn 4, which is possible, I'm pretty sure 4 bugs spawn with the first DK, followed by 4 more bugs with 2 rooks (unless you're calling rooks bugs) before the 2nd DK, and then 2 more bugs with the 3rd DK, for a grand total of 10 bugs that spawn during the actual encounter. You'd need to hold a few of the initial bugs that spawn with the event.

There are 10 bug spawns excluding the first wave. You would need to save bugs from the first wave of all bugs.

I dont really think its hard to not log in for 6 days. Was hard the first week now its like ugh do i have to log in for an hour and a half. Come Crystal Tower i will probably be 2 hours UGHH.

I am on crack i thought there were six on stage 4 my bad :(

I'm trying to think of something better for Turn 1 Caduceus =/

Run the entire dungeon as Classes rather than Jobs. I'd do it if I was running Coil, haha!

do it in AF gear and normal relic only. white jewelry is the only kind allowed.

turn 1 ads must be solo tanked (no offtank)
everyone is required to stand in glowing plates during caduceus (except for tank)
turn 2 ads the quarantine node must be destroyed
turn 4 do not destroy any bugs. feed them to dreadnoughts.
turn 5 no killing the scrouges, keep the dreadknights alive for as long as humanly possible and you are required to let them kill their first target.

I like the slime thing but sometimes everyone isnt close enough to the platforms that DO glow. But we can see what we can do with that.
Your turn 5 seems a little crazy haha but I like it will have to test.

Turn 5, 1-Tank challenge completed.

I don't think that is a very hard feat at all unfortunately =/ it just seems right that the fight should be solo tanked anyway to be honest
