How to pass this phase?

Anyone have imformation? Tell me please. Thank you so much.

Kill those Magitek's. Isn't that obvious? Or didn't you try this at first?

Kill the lasers. Stack in one spot so you know roughly where they're all going, focus fire them down until they die, go back to the boss.

This was funny enough the same assesment I made after watching the screenshot lol. I also still have to log in the game.

omg I have to try killing this with all lasers up with my FC now. o.o That was always one of my favorite part with Ultima Weapon.

how's the part where he disappears? and purple orbs form in a diamond?
How do we clear that part?

The lazers will self-destruct after a while, with an "almost" raid wide explosion. You can dps down the lazers (which is quite tough to crack, but it can take damage, not immune) or wait for it to explode.

each ball when you hit ~7k dmg
4 ball needed = 28k dmg
you can share with 7 ppl = 4k per person, (excluding sacred soil)

you'll need fast communication which to explode first and whm can "cure 3" over. 1 good cure3 can heal all 7 and will survive the rest.

Or... you can have paladin hallow ground and run them all..

To the OP.

All should be at the ring and kill 1 by 1. Make sure your tank rotate stack nicely during this phase.

The orb damage eats through Hallowed Ground. At least, in my experience so far. Every time I've popped it to try and eat orb damage, I still get slammed. I can mitigate the hell out of the damage with SS and cooldowns, but HG has done nothing for me.

Yeah all other cd's seemed to work for my pally, all but hg. We downed it today. A theory was that you have to wait for the orbs to get really close then pop them, which will cause less damage. the further they are apart, the more dmg they do. Lots of people suiciding for the team lol. Used blm LB 3 on the last phase of magitek lasers but there is probably a more optimal time to use it. Pretty easy fight though after a couple tries. 80 item at end and some tomes.

Stack up as a group and run together to trigger the explosions. on 3th wave of orbs we have the OT take 1 set of orbs by himself and everyone else clears the others as a group. If everyone is fast enough on the move you should not have any troubles :-)

So you sure that it is "share damage" so you want everybody to run there in that area?

But sometimes the a DPS said he eat ball and only hit for 700. 7000/10 = 700, there is no 10 people.

We ran with everyone together besides the tank that is on ultima, and this worked fine.
3th wave,the tank takes 1 or 2 orbs by himself.
I will try and post our kill vid later today.
But this seemed to be the best way for us to handle the orbs :-)

^
How can a tank take 1-2 orb by himself if the previous person talk that it is 7000 damage per orb and HG doesn't work?

HG doesn't block damage from the orbs, because that's meant to render you invincible, and since the orbs cut through HG, it's as if you never used a buff or cooldown in the first place. Every other buff or cooldown, however, helps mitigate damage. I would regularly, even when MT at that moment, pop an orb by myself and have it only hit for a couple thousand after stoneskin and a cooldown.

For the 3rd wave of orbs, try popping the level 3 tank LB (it finally has a use.) We did this and nobody took any damage from running into the orbs.

Paladin can eat one by himself easily. I did this last night on my Paladin and I soaked 4400 damage all by myself.

Here is the vid of our first sloppy kill, you can see how rena takes the right side of orbs by herself at the end.

We gimmicked it with Soil and Galvanize pre casted when aetheric boom goes off and run through the middle of them all as a group to take like 600 damage each with the white mage swift casting cure 3 after the first 2 sets and we easily beat it. Caster LB1 pretty much takes out the laser cluster at start. Stack in mid Galvanize and aoe heals for clock lasers and quad ship drop.

These are the only 2 real gimmicks to the fight. The rest is all pretty much the same as far as fight went the first time. Garuda and ifrit doing their appearance attacks are about the only real one shot kills to under geared people.

Tank Purge room wide is kind of silly but I guess healers need to do something. :)
