Bismarck Ex solo heal

Hi healers. I'm just wondering if anyone else has solo healed this yet, particularly on Sargatanas. I can't find any vids online and I didn't record mine. But I think it was an accidental server first yesterday morning about 05:00.
Not to self praise but it was with the non upgraded masakaki cane. It was extremely difficult at that Ilvl. Once passing phase 2 it becomes much easier, as the ot can practicly be ignored while they're tanking the mage vundu in p3. We had a machinest and bard in party, with constant mana capacitor and ballad up time.

Nicely done, and I'll agree with your views, I've inadvertently solo healed phase 3 as SCH when the other healer has fallen off, but I don't think I could brute force a pug through phase 2 myself. Maybe with full FC and two tanks I'm comfy with <3

not a single cure 1 was given that day.

Good job. Fight isn't very healing intensive though, only real damage there is phase 2 with the two dragons, and the damage there can vary...with dumb people hitting the dragon they are supposed not to and getting constantly reflected is impossible to solo heal, however, if everything goes smooth and no one eats any reflects, the only thing half dangerous there is the occasional cleave from both dragons (which does a pretty high amount of damage) and the sometimes annoying tornados if they decide camping in your spot.

I think you're understating phase 2 a bit. At least at the lower ilvls, it can be very difficult to heal, particularly with 1 healer in cleric. Although in my runs, DPS have been putting dots on both dragonfish as well....

That said, I think higher ilvls (even just 170+) and perfect handling will ease the fight a lot.

how did u handle phase 2 solo, i can barely get into cleric stance with 2 healers

Probably has to do with the team, I know in mine, the dps didn't even clear that check and it pretty much drained both heals of mp, using everything in the toolkit to be mana efficent.

Is it possible to solo heal as ast lol. Is itt?

Most of the damage on bismarck ex are due to people failing mechanics. The only real threat is phase 2, tanks get hit quite heavily. But i'm sure with good cd management, it can be solo heal by any healers.

Phase 2 i would med 2 and assize the party, and tanks were getting regen and constant cure 2, i used bene at one point and tetra everytime it was off cd. It was pure cure 2 potency, and the bard and machinist playing mp.

I can see that working if everyone was on point. The added dps making the phase shorter plus the added mp. It would get a bit hairy, but doable. I've only gone in once, but the dps taking a bunch of extra damage was killing my mp, that and the add phase went on and on until wipe everytime.

Yeah, for some people attacking the opposite color seems too hard. I think, SE should just make the green Serpent disappear if you have the green debuff that way you can't "fuck up". (I'm not serious obv)

There has been threads in the past from visually-impaired players that tended to indicate fights involving colors are really tough on them. (Not a joke)

Obviously, this is another issue. Those players are not at fault, and I hope SE has something in place for them... like many other games.

To be fair, the actual symbols in the debuffs are very different as well, so blaming it on colour perception alone may be a bit sloppy.

Afaik, and according to some threads, some of the previous issues about colors have been fixed. SE added markers on the ground, easy to spot buff/debuff icons and such to make those fights doable by anyone. Of course, they did some changes after they were asked to do so, they can't guess what and what not is possible for a visually-impared player, unless they hire one person to beta-test the whole content. Anyway, just saying, the issue with colors is worth mentionning :)

Agreed phase 2 would be the issue here - especially if anyone is taking avoidable damage.

I'm on Moogle, and did a PF learning party with a WHM that said he solo healed his previous run. Our DPS was terrible, so we tried with me in cleric stance to make up for the DPS. We couldn't pass P3, but, seems there are other solo heal clears out there.

Well, yeah, now that i210 gear is out this wouldn't be hard to solo heal at all XD
