I sat around for 2 hours trying to do the Lightning fate I saw her spawn once. Despite spaming blizz 2 in a party i got a bronze.
This really isn't fun when you have about 500 people in 1 spot trying to aoe these mobs.
Lightning fate needs to spawn more often

I got a gold from tab targeting and using Scathe. It's not that hard when all the people spamming AoEs aren't actually hitting the mobs because they can't see anything. (Also, there was one guy who didn't level sync and kept using Holy, but that's another story.)

It's not so much damage you do but actually how much hate you generate from the mob - hence going GLA/PLD and using Flash three or four times (or equipping the spell to another class/Job that can use it) will get you credit in the FATE - it's how I managed to do it.
Of course the spell actually has to register as hitting at least one mob, preferably many at once, but as long as this is done a few times, you should be able to get credit for it. -
11-15-2013, 08:50 AMispanoYou're a Paladin? I got gold every single time as Paladin. Crabs I just ran around using flash. Gertrude I just threw all the enmity I could at her. Gold every single time.Quote:

I'm probably going to wait a week then do it just do avoid the congestion, maybe you should do the same.

11-15-2013, 10:39 AMKlutz64To address the bronze: Could be where you were standing. The mob waits on the path, but the crabs spawn on either side of it, so if you're on the path spamming Blizz 2 you won't hit anything.Quote:

I got all weapons in like 1hr and 30 minutes worth of fates of lightning. I spammed blizzard 2 got gold every time.

11-15-2013, 11:07 AMErikMynhierShe's right. Flash is a fate runners best friend. I get gold in most fates even in serious lag. I just watch my hotbar and ignore the action on screen. Remember, its not the damage you do, its the enmity you build. The system can't tell the difference between enmity and damage.Quote:

I have been able to get gold by tab-targetting and spamming the heck out of True Thrust.
Though Lightning does seem to appear every other time the FATE pops. I'm assuming the same applies to all of the FATEs she appears in. -

Fate ratings are enimity based. Pick any instant DoT effect (cross class if necessary) and scroll through as many targets as you can hitting them once each. Flash, if you have it is also effective. Get out of your job and get cross class abilities if you don't have them.
