Thordan Ex.

So. Finally got my down, took a while to get together a competent team of players to do it.

LOVED IT! The whole fight was really well put together. Beautifully animated. And ultimately just amazing to learn. Reminded me of the days of T5 of having to gather people you actually trusted to get the job done.

The fight itself (I feel) is like ravana ex, scripted and once learned bit by bit becomes second nature. But it's the fact you really have to trust everyone to do the mechanics. If you don't more than likely your gonna wipe. Really enjoying the difficulty level of the content thus far.

Good job devs. Good job! =D

Awesome! I also can't wait to go through it with friends soon.

nice, grats.
I've only reached the part after ultimate end.
with the pillars, double eyes and the pillars.
haven't been practicing again xD

Grats for your win!

There's also a positive feedback thread about the fight in the Quests forums: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...ent-like-this.

I really liked the fight myself and I hope we'll get more similar content in future. :)

I only can reach until KOR 4 ugh... Hoping can clear it before getting echo :(

But the BGM surely give encourage to defeat this Thordan :)

Yeah grats it's a great fun fight. I enjoy it a lot myself.

Great fight , it's totally fun!

Congrats.

It is quite a fun fight.

It's a cool fight, I just wish comet phase didn't consist of all red colors.

It's a really cool fight and probably the best of the patch. My fauvorite extreme primal next to Titan and Shiva.

I can't wait til it's old content that I can easily complete via the duty finder so I can do it. #casual4lyfe #comeatmebro

Just the RNG sucks.

After the 10th token, 7/8 of my static bought their weapon, because only 1 mainclass weapon did drop.

We got

• 1x MNK
• 2x BRD
• 3x NIN
• 4x DRK

Thanks a lot! Been helping a few people that I've been trying to get a down with before to get theirs. Sucks so hard when you just can't get it down for them even when they are top notch players XD I've killed it tanking and dpsing. gonna give healing. Go now. Can't say I'm looking forward to it looks rather unforgiving even if everyone dodges everything perfectly haha

Some questions:
How much DPS needs to be done to kill him before the fa*** knight appears and makes Thordan invincible?
And when are the best times to pop Enochian? I still struggle hard to keep my damage up in phase 8 and beyond...

I love it so much I've beaten it 32 times, mostly because my weapons never dropped (Was aiming for Mch gun, Ninja daggers and Mnk knuckles, NEVER DROPPED, until I bought them of course -_-) But the good thing is I've gotten the weapon for every class except Whm, Pld and Bard.

33 kills still not seen a bow drop. In the end bought it with tokens even though I can only really use it in a2s until I get the a2s gloves...

Ummm I had 2 black mages and myself at around 1000 -1100 the entire fight (1500 by end of opener peaking at 2100) and a bard at around 800 and it seems sufficient. If everyone stays up and lb 3 and lb 2 used on the boss should be sufficiant to skip the last phase. If the dps is a lot lower save the lb 2 for the knight at the end. I'd say pop enocian every time you have it. You want max dps on your opener. And max dps after the music change. Everything else is a meh really not amazing dps needed. Maybe pop it on the double shield and sword oath knights too as you Wana kill one outright with good dps.

Oh I'll have to ask my black mages but apparently you can block that very first massive aoe he does in first phase and at the end with manaward so that might help you keep it going.

Most DPS can eat the first meteorrain as long as no overlap. I do it on bard. But you do need the HP limit and have a stoneskin - and maybe a shield as well.

drg hp over 1500 im sure i could too but being melee i get everyone elses under mine so i move just in case XD

I do this: Ice 3 (hit with pull) lightning 1, Raging, Leylines, Enochian, F3, pot, F4, sharpcast, swiftcast f4 while evading AoE, F1, F3 while going back into my leylines,F4 F4, B3, Thunder only if proc, B4, F3, F4. oh shi Gaze, F1 F4 F4, B3, Lightning, B4, AM for free hugs and another F4 rota. With my gear I manage to get between 1000 and 1200 DPS with this.

Problem is later phases with all these mechanics to screw m rota over.

maybe after each gaze? tbh im not too clued up on blk mage wish i could help more, best i could say is the only times you HAVE to move is gaze, the Aoe to share and getting the back piller, other than that you really should be needed to move all that much, allow other people to move away from you, if your positioned right, you should be outside away from everyone for the mos part, also if you really have to move sprint will help :P

I do precast quelling, sharpcast, leylines F3 (hit with pull) Enochain F1 raging F4 F4 F4 F3P (while moving) swiftcast F4 while returning to leyline convert F4 F4 B3 T1 B4 F3 F4 F1 gaze continue rotation, i know dummy wise i average 1400+ with this till phase over

The F3P and swiftcast F4 is fitted exactly for when aoe lands giving you lots of movement time to avoid whilst not affecting castx
