ravana roulette

this is pretty much a waste of time, why even include it because I'm just going to leave as soon as I see it's ravana. the odds of one shotting it versus taking 30+ minutes for 100k bonus exp(like 10 minutes of hunts) or failing completely is not good.

The rols aren't just there for rewards, they are also there to get people who have cleared the content to help out people who have not. With incentive to do so in things like Tomes and the like.

Ravana is such an easy fight. We cleared it with 1 tank 1 healer and 2 dps alive after 50%. And just me, my healer friend and a tank for the last 30%. Not sure why you you would just leave. It's Easier Then Titan HM Was Before People actually learned the fight.

Hm has no hard enrage that i've seen, he just starts stacking damage debuffs till the tank can't survive any longer from the constant hadoukens lol.
After 50% i was the only one alive with the other tank, we dragged the fight on from lb1-lb3 lol.

Learn to teach the content then. I usually one shot Ravana with or without a premade team.

You can teach other players new tricks but only the good ones will learn and the bads well..... Its like talking to a brick wall where anything u tell them seems to not make any sense.

There's always the fun of the fight..but maybe I'm just crazy to say that.

Why would you leave, it's not a hard fight. Yesterday I did it, the other healer died by getting sling shotted off the side. Healed it, and we took it down. It's fun. I can't wait to try the white whale tonight.

Ravana is pretty easy fight. When i first did it, my entire group was new and we only wiped once before clearing it, much easier than Titan HM when that was first release (sadly people still die to it)

Probably shouldn't be clicking roulettes if you don't have the intention to be filling other people's group and helping them clear content.

It's possible to wipe in that fight?

I've only done this fight twice, but one-shotted it on both times. On first time only half of the party stayed up (and 3/4 of us, myself included, first timers with no knowledge of the fight) and on second time only one person fell down. I don't see what the trouble with it would be, it's not very easy to fall and there's no difficult enrage timer.

I've done it once, and one shotted it with a group that was 6/8 first timers. I don't see how you can be afraid of failing that trial. May as well be afraid of failing the guildhest basic training with the goobbue.

One shotted it even when doing it the first time levelling. It's not really a punishing fight even if people make mistakes you can recover quite fast.

How bad do you have to be to spend 30+ minutes on Ravana?

Roulette is not there just for quick rewards. It's there to help other people queue faster. If you can't grasp that basic concept, maybe stop using roulette completely?

The only time it takes 30 mins is when none of the experienced players speak up and explain things. And wipe once then leave. You're the whole reason its wiping to begin with. There are occasional times new players have learning problems, but it's rare. My first run took about 30 mins, but its because no one explained anything, and we were pretty much just learning it piece by piece on our own. When I did a roulette and got Ravana a couple days later I explained everything to the group, and as new phases came up I'd remind people in chat to find the wall and get to it, or move away from X person or you will die. 5 people got the achievement for beating it their first time, on our FIRST try. So again b4 you abandon a stupid easy fight, try actually explaining things, and being social or something. It's more or less the equivalent to wiping and leaving ifrit hm imho. It's easier then HM titan.

Honestly, I don't even know about that. Pretty much all of Ravana's mechanics are common sense stuff. Went into that fight totally blind. No video. No explanation, nothing. Had no problem at all figuring it out. The only part of the fight I felt at all unsure of was when I, and a couple others got marks above our heads and I was like "I hope this isn't a stacking mechanic." And it wasn't. Seriously, the fight may be a little on the long side, but it is really really easy.

I one shotted it on the first try. Have never had any problems with it, when I get it on DR. I'd rather have Ravana then Steps.

Attitude like this I'd be happy to see you go.

War stories. Me and a friend actually Queued up for Ravana as both healers. In the end from about 40% down..It was just me on WHM and him on AST with the two tanks. All the DPS fell off the map. Ended up getting to about 10 stacks or 9? I forgot. But we still managed to clear it with just two tanks and healers. I just had to do ALOT of Aero and Stone spamming.

It's the players, not the fight, pal.

Failing a story mode fight? The amount of git gud is too damn high...

I one shot-ed it during early access with one DPS caught off guard and fell down the platform.

How is it... fail-able? This ain't anything near Steps of Faith lol.

Is the fight really that hard? It just took my DF group 2 tries to down, we only fail the first time because both tank decide to fall off at the same time, even then we manage to get to like below 20% with no tank. Clear on 2nd tries with 3 DPS since one decide to fall off and was gone for half the fight.

It is pretty easy, my first time on my SCH was a 1 shot solo-healing. Pretty much everyone was new and the other healer got knocked off at about 50%. We were down 2 dps as well. So we cleared it with 2dps, 2tanks, 1 healer. I've gotten it all the time and haven't wiped (Knock on Wood). Pretty much all you have to tell them is: Adds Quickly, keep your back to a wall when he does the room wide aoe, & don't stand infront when he is doing a very large frontal aoe. Other than that you just dodge everything else and try not to take too much damage.
