Odin fixed fight

On 8th December 2014, at around 10:50am (GMT+13) the Odin FATE spawned but it was impossible to complete. Even for a tank item level 111 with defensive CD on Odin was still able to 1 hit me, this include other tanks in the fight as well.

Some of Odin's attack hit for 28000+ of damage. This leave me wondering what kind of coding are you using to adjust these FATE? Increasing FATE boss health point to facilitate the number of participant I can understand but why a low boss attack to 1 shot even a Lv.111 tank? It's too much of a fixed fight don't you think?

Would appreciate if SE could spare sometime to look into the FATE adjustment system.

Was Odin at lvl60?

He can be extremely unforgiving at times especially with hundreds of players involved.

From what I remember SE stated before launch that Odin was meant to have a special mechanic where each time he's defeated, part of his memory returns to him which actually increases his difficulty in the next encounter, meaning potentially he'll reach a point where he'll be so strong as to be virtually unkillable (although as I understand it Yoshi mentioned that he would actually reach a 'cap' in difficulty so as to possibly avoid such a situation).

I can only guess that it's possible that he's reached this point sadly, assuming SE did in fact use this system - I have no idea if it's true or not though.

He's been at lvl60 (His level cap) on Phoenix for a while now and he is a royal pain in the ass, I go in for a couple hits amongst the crowd and *SLASH* I'm left with about 5% HP wondering what the hell happened xD

He spawned in Malboro the other day so I figured I would join in (first time). Not sure how many people were there but there was a ton. After the FATE was over he was down to about half health. Bodies everywhere, it was crazy. By the time there is enough people to take him down the game probably wouldn't even render him or players anymore or would probably lock up the server. Think he needs a bit of a debuff.

as far as I remember, I've always seen Odin at level 60 (yeah I started late) and well... At this point, it's really just an endurance race between him reaping heads like crops and healers raising everyone

I don't think I've ever seen him not get taken down on my server (Gilgamesh) and he's at his lvl 60 cap there.

There's usually some impressive carnage left behind afterward, though.

I dont know how many times as a healer I've had to stack on the boss in the danger zone for clothies just so i can target my party's melee and tanks. Then if i'm in range of the melee so i can target them i can no longer target ranged. Proximity rendering doesnt work how about we prioritize party members for renders during World Boss fights and S Rank Hunts.

His hits that pop you for 28k+ is split dmg, he is ment to be tanked by many tanks at the same time it lowers the dmg you take and makes him tankable, if you tank h im alone he will one shot you no matter what level he is.

Each time Odin is defeated, he'll be stronger the next time he spawns till he reaches his lvl cap of 60. Each time he uses Zantetsuken successfully, he'll be weaker the next time he spawns. If FATE times out, he will spawn at same strength the next time.

Also as someone said before, he has a move that hits super hard but dmg is split, so need to stack people, preferably tanks to survive it.

The fight is meant to be done with multiple parties. Although usually any kind of strategy is difficult to implement since there are so many people, you run into rendering issues, some people getting frame rate loss, and you also have multiple tanks fighting for enmity.

I've done the fight as all roles and main difficulties I've seen are:
DPS: Keeping him in range/frontal arc, dodging cleaves when he's constantly spinning around.
Healer: Keeping everyone topped off or reviving dead people, when half the party is untargetable due to render cap.
Tank: Same as dps if you're trying to OT. If you're MT, having multiple tanks trying to take enmity (can understand if current MT is undergeared and struggling, but no real reason to keep ShO/Def up if current tank is handling Odin just fine).

I don't bother with him anymore. I always walk up and immediately get one-shotted by some mechanic that I can't even see.

This is pretty much what happened. Every Paladin, Warrior, Gladiator, and Marauder needs to be in front of him at all times to split damage. If you can manage it, an unmarked landmark (rock, signpost, fork in the road, etc.) should be defined as the tank stack area.

I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

Jokes aside, stacking tanks to split up the damage dealt is key to surviving the encounter. The oftentimes confusing nature of the fight (due to the sheer number of participants) doesn't always help, and rendering cap can be a bane to less prudent DPS players, too - you might not see the cleaves coming.

So pretty much Odin is now Doomsday from Superman.
