AURUM HELL

[Mhaeric]

I honestly wonder if it's even doable as SCH.

Yes, but dear god, it is not fun at all.

I never had an issue with going as SCH. I find being able to pro-actively DoT the boss, Bane them to the seeds, and then follow up with a Miasma II is very helpful, especially if there's no BLM. And its not mana intensive to do this at all, unlike with WHM and Holy. The biggest thing with respect for healing as a SCH is placing your fairy and asking your ranged party members to stand closer to the final boss rather than right beside their chosen fruits, b/c it makes it far easier to heal them if the fairy can reach them all with regen and embrace. The run from the midpoint between a fruit and the boss isn't that far, and it makes things go a heck of a lot smoother.

This is how I beat it on my SMN as well - it helps a lot if the tank moves with the boss and keeps it stationary in the center of the seeds - otherwise your timing needs to be good.

As for WHM using holy - this tactic becomes availible at level 48 when you get SoS refresh - a 47 WHM will go OOM trying it

Maybe it was just the teams I ran it with, but half the time I didn't really have a chance to switch to the boss to DoT safely. I would, on non-AoE-heavy teams use Miasma II for some help, but generally I had my hands full just keeping people alive by the time the adds started spawning, and then getting the annoying things off of me once they did start attacking...

Though that part is probably not really my fault.

Clear communication and strategy is an absolute must in this dungeon for sure. Things that helped big time was;

1. LockS: Tank emphasized the "Gold Lung" Debuff and made sure everyone knew exactly where to look for their current standing with the Debuff, Tank marked each fruit with Square, Circle, Triangle and X, and everyone designated themselves with each fruit when their debuff reaches 2/3

2. CoinC: He doesn't have Rings, but we personally used the little loading bar that appears on our screen with the initiating move. As soon as we seen the 100 swipe or Eye of Beholder loading we ran like hell... tank would run through its legs which makes me chuckle every time XD. We also made sure we're not in his sights when he randomly turns away from the tank.

Side note, Drgs looks awesome when they Elusive Jump away from 100 Swipe like a boss..

4. Final Boss: repeat strategy from 1st boss and focus any and all AOEs on the adds.

Do note that Coincounter can be stunned.
Although I do advise to save your stun moves for when he readies 100 Tonze Swing.

I'm glad you pointed this out, we ran away from all the things lol. Would've killed him way quicker if we realized we could stun it.
