The Heretic Amongst Us Quest MASSIVE COMPLAINT

[Brainfreeze]

I kept dying something awful then I leveled Arcanist to 4 grab the heal spell physick and with sleep + physick + unlimited mana it's incredibly easy just make sure to heal
All of the npcs so they can heal as well.

Just did it with 40 conjurer, stood there and spammed stone and healed myself a few times.

[AnnaMolly]

Having a problem with this, too. I'm MNK, and as MNK I see no way to complete this instance save for "go level GLD".

[Exiliah]

I managed to do it on my first try juggling blizzard+scathe and physick when necessary, try getting your grand company gear if you need a bit of an extra boost.

[Arale]

Effective use of sleep allowed me to solo this as a BLM. Sleep, kite, blow up boss, reapply sleep as needed.

[Rewyen]

I'm 0/2 on this as DRG. The entire fight is a cake walk until the wyvern shows up, and it's not like DRG can sleep or cure, so I'm at a loss. I figured I might give it another go by removing my soul crystal and going in as LNC with my arcanist spells and some sleep pots so i can at least heal the loltank and attempt to add some strategy to this. If any DPS classes have gotten through without spells, please share because up to this point, I've never had an issue with a quest and some guidance from successful runs would be a great help.

I did this on SMN. I don't remember all of the details of the fight, but I do remember that I spent most of the tail end of it kiting the boss in circles while the surviving NPCs slowly wore him down.

Thanks for the advice here. I spammed npc-cures self-buffs and just ran around to avoid AoE and it worked great! If you can get hate and aim the AoE attacks away from the NPC's it helps a ton!

[Ryuseki]

I just did this no more than an hour ago with zero issues, understanding how your class works might help you.

I got so annoyed at this quest but I eventually did it. I even went to level my Arcanist to 12 just to pull Virus in hopes it would help. What helped me was CC the adds, so I had time to heal NPCs and catch up with myself. Make sure to use Surecast if you're in a pinch. Eat food if you've got it for a buff on spell speed and damage, helps nuke the boss down. It is really tough but you really just have to find a system that works. There's more to a BLM than just DPS...I spent most of it healing, running and CCing ha.
