Soloing Chimera in Cutter's Cry

Everything you want to know is in the description! Let me know if it's missing something and if you like it then hit the button, if you want to comment post it there! I don't come here often. It's a JP server but i live in Canada so I figured I could post it here since it's all english anyways!

Thanks for watching :o

P.S. If you could comment telling me you came from the forums to see it that'd be great so IK if i should post here in the future! Was kind of debating whether or not to...

I freaking hate that boss. I always get hit by the aoes. I'm too busy looking at the parties HP and the little pop up that announces the color comes up so fast that I always miss it, end by the time I notice it in the chat log it's too late.

So you just had your three other friends sit aimlessly around? xD

A good way to avoid that while healing is to always keep targeting the chimera (to see the attack bar charging) but "soft-target" (forgive me! I know not the proper terms to use here) your allies just long enough to hit cast. Not an absolute safety, but I've found it helps.

P.S. I use a controller, which has been incredibly useful and intuitive for this kind of action. Not sure how it is via mouse.

I was helping some friends through Cutters cry the first time, and of course they wipe out on the last boss and I'm the last one standing. So here I am standing in front of the boss, waiting for him to take me down... and waiting... and waiting...

The dang fairy was keeping me alive!

I could of easily solo'd that boss, but I wanted my friends to learn to do it right so, sadly, I had to unsummon my fairy and take it like a guy with glasses.

How does the attack bar change? o:

I always have the boss targeted anyway, since I use mouse over macros.

If you read the description I believe I point out in the youtube video that when it says it in the middle of your screen he actually isn't even casting it yet. That's the heads up. You should have PLENTY of time to run to him and run out. If you also look I moved the party bars closer to the middle of my screen so I wouldn't have to look away when healing. If that still doesn't help try finding a spot near the boss that's just outside the range of his blue eyes. By the end of that solo I could tell you exactly how close I had to be to get hit by it.

Hope this helped!

I asked at the beginning of the instance if they'd let me try. The one dps knew ahead of time because I queued with him and the other two wanted to see it (If you watch the party chat in the chatlog the tank is talking to me while I'm killing the boss)

Any suggestions for the next boss I should try? I'm starting easy and then going up.

That looks really fun to do actually.

Aha it was, mind you for me it took a lot of concentration not to get hit by anything at the start because I didn't know it was so easy to do after figuring out the mechanics!

I also play in silence usually because I forget to turn on my music and I don't play with ingame sound x3

I'm most impressed that you did it without Shroud of Saints!

I'm going to check again now but I thought Shroud of Saints only reduces your enmity by half? I'm the only one there so it wouldn't do anything. He'd just attack me anyways.... Right? O.o

Or did i completely misread the description on that ability? =(

It also restores a whole bunch of mana! Somewhere in the neighborhood of 25% over its duration, with a 1 minute cooldown

It doesn't say anything about that in the description O.o It only says 50% enmity reduction and refreshes cooldowns on mine

"refresh" is not about cooldown... is actualy how the mana regen buff is called in this game ^^' it increase your base mana regen by a fixed potency (potency of 60 pre 48 potency of 80 post lvl 48)... that actualy traslate in a really big mana recharge over the 15 second duration ^^'

That was great to watch! :D Though I couldn't help but read the drama happening in your fc at the same time. ^^;

Entertaining to watch. Wished you'd of used Cleric stance to swap inbetween healing and DPS'ing though. :P

Why switch out of Cleric Stance when the healing with Regen is high enough in it to sustain myself O.O?

P.S. Just off-tanked that crazy garlean robot lady in Castrum Meridianum (i think that's how it's spelled). Our paladin went afk and I forgot to record it ;-; so much fun hehehe
