Let's celebrate our GOOD runs.

Got Fractal for EX yesterday, I've been running FC mates through it, and we had pretty much a textbook perfect run, finished in about 20 min. Bard kept Foe's up 90% of the time, summoner burned through everything, dps was so fast I usually didn't finish trash packs with five stacks. I spent most of the boss fights comfortably in Deliverance, fell cleaving for all I was worth. It was such a smooth, beautiful run and I'm sure the bard was happy to get the three comms from me and my FC mates.

Missed doing hard roulette last night on the paladin I'm leveling, so I queued for it this morning. Wasn't thrilled to get Lost City of Amdapor but they asked for a speed run, I pulled huge packs, dps and heals were on point, and it was another smooth, fast, problem free run. Perhaps they were in a party too, bc I got three comms for it.

Care to celebrate your successes? Seen any standout performances lately? Or just had any particularly fun runs?

Yesterday's Leveling Roulette, got Stone Vigil as a MNK... Never have i seen a better tank in that place! They chain pulled the entire dungeon and the pace was brilliant, not once since the first pack of mobs did i lose my GL stacks until the final boss. That run was perfect!

I verily enjoy this thread. I wish for a sticky for positivity instead of negativity!

I had a great run with some new people in Sastasha today! Good tank that was pulling effectively despite being a new Lv 15. You never know how people will do these days.

Neverreap with War, me(WHM), BLM and SMN. Fastest clear I've ever had - loved it!

I queued ex roulette on sch with my friend on dps.. got Neverreap with another buddy queued. War tank, don't remember what either of the DPS were. We cleared it in 15 mins.. fastest I have ever seen. Unknown DPS's comment was something like "you're right, this IS faster than fractal!"

After trying everyday to get a group or get in a PF group for Ravana Ex, one particular group last night let me in, although they wanted "NO BONUS". Ended up getting three Totems with them.

Today, however, I joined a group, and never saw Sword phase. I wasn't upset. I'm just glad there are people out there who still give players new to content a chance. Don't know if I should continue to get into every group, though, as I have no use for the weapon (since I bought the Eso weapon). I'll run it from time to time for more practice maybe.

Did Fractal on Friday night, queued with two friends (I heal on SCH, they are DRK and MNK). We had our fastest run ever - just over 17 mins - because our pick-up SMN was a complete BEAST! Stuff melted rather than died. They even said 'hi' at the start AND they gave a comm to our MNK. Since they got three comms back, I think everyone went home happy. Lovely!

I had a neverreap run a few weeks ago that was a less than 10 minute clear.

Our Tank, DPS (I was DRG) , and Healer were all in 100℅ perfect synch and mobs and bosses alike were getting completly curb stomped.

That was the best neverreap run I have ever seen. And likly ever see again for some time. Lol

Got WHM, SMN, BLM in fractal, starts off with whm hardcasting SS 2 and then throwing up cleric stance, immediate smile comes over my face and we finish in 12 mins.

The significance being that a SC holy allows for the first stun to wear off before the cast of the 2nd holy is done, effectively giving more mitigation than spamming holy without it.

The DRK tank I had pulled Tioman to the back of the arena on meteors! ^^ Was happy to see a proactive tank on Tioman.

Got my first A1S clear in a "no bonus" group after asking them friendly ... we oneshot it :)

Yesterday another A1S group with my FC mates... we wipes 1 hr at 2%-0,5% even 0,0001% due to minor derps... then someone had to leave party lead asked if anyone wanna retry and we all agreed on another try after reform and a 15-20min break (our brains were busted and we all were hungry ;_; ). With the new member we 2 shot it \o/

So you can't run? Are your keys bound that you can't move? You would prefer to heal the meteor damage on the whole party over helping the boss fight to go faster? Why are you standing in meteor damage?

There's no meteor damage(assuming you mean the "T5-like" attack) if the bombs are placed at the entrance. And if there is damage, it is minimal and Medica II regen can take care of it. Just going by the 4 Sohm Al runs I had today.

The meteor damage is greatly reduced the further you are from them, if the tank pulls him to back wall this gives the entire arena to run from meteors (even worse when stupid people drop them at sides). If the tank holds him at middle everyone takes a cleave to the face when trying to minimize meteor damage or eats high damage meteors.

Healer should be near middle of arena anyways, not right at the entrance edge, if you do this tank will be in range, though you might need to step up slightly for a medica/helios to hit them, but that's something you should practice for damn near every encounter in this game sooo...... git gud?

After running Sohm Al way...way...WAY too many times yes. Tanking Tioman at the far side is the best method. And I've run all three tank and all three healer jobs through it. Tanking her mid is just asking for trouble.

Different opinions here lol git gud u serious!? ;)
Its the method I prefer and my preference... after leveling 2 tanks 5 healers (alt char) a lot of DPS classes yes its how I like it no need to blame me...
My XP is tank not using CDs and dropping like shit at the far end.

Besides I thought this meant to be a happy thread no strat discussion where opinions ALWAYS differ.

I had another 8 minute Neverreap clear.

I love how those are becoming more common.

I got my shaft drop on my first A4 clear last night. \o/ Only one wipe!

Every run with friends no matter how derpy and how many wipes are good :D
(Love those late night half asleep DR EX runs... Mnk tanks because tank lags hard and healer dozes off etc etc)

So about two days ago I q'd up for expert. Got fractal. Me as my war, a smn, nin, and ast. First off, in beginning before we even started, one of them complimented me on my glamour. Augmented chest, which sparkles n shines. Right there I knew this was gonna be good group. Lol. I grabbed mobs at a good pace, we cleared to boss in 15mins. I grabbed the final boss and as I always do, pull him to corner. So when tiles light up its only the two sides, leaving the rest open for them to have space n dodge. To my surprise tho, they commented that's a good idea as they never seen that done like that. Which struck me odd. We cleared effortlessly, 3 commendations. Great group!

I don't wanna be "that guy" but... I normally aim for 15 mins or less in fractal. Lol.
