Turn 2 - Allagan ROT

[Husband]

If everyone has the Rot debuff, once they all stack, as the debuff wears off it will take care of it self as long as you have at least 5 people stacking up. You just have to get to that phase of all 5 people having the debuff, before then if you stack you will wipe.

Thank you.

In my group I'm the only melee DPS for this turn. We do it this way and it has been working well for us for almost 2 months of clears:



Everyone uses Focus Target on the person they get rot from so they can pay attention and know if they need to get closer to help pass (like if a laser or gravity well forces someone to move or to get slowed).

We tried stack method early on but didn't really like it since we were already ok with the pictured formation and stacking is risky for lasers.

This is how my group also does it, with me as black mage taking the position of the bard in the top right. We also go the right route though because of 2 magic users. So although we have to deal with firestream and chain lightning on ADS instead of ballast and gravity well, its essentially the same.

I also used same positionship , but from left to right BLM , SCH , BRD , WHM , BRD . we using left route .

This is close to what my static uses. But we have three brds and a blm (The only turn we use all ranged). Though we did run this with drg in the blm slot before and it worked just as well. We usually place the sch in the center of the cycle and have the whm on the side. We like to avoid using melee because there is no risk of the tanks getting rot.

If the inside tank runs out for repelling cannon when I'm crossing the room, there is a chance they'll pick rot up from me but that's rare and if it happens the BRD just moves in and picks it up from tank. It happens now and then but only caused a wipe the first time.

FYI anyone working on the fight, more visual aid (click for full size):

My group uses a similar method posted by Ryoko, except 1 is our healer, 2 and 5 are Bard, another healer at 4 and caster at 3. Our healers doesn't move except for dodging stuff, the dps will go grab the rot from them, beside being on mumble we also focus target on the member that we need to get rot from. If the tank gets the rot our melee with grab it and pass to any of the bard that he is closest to.

In a PUG that I join, they used Mishaela method, except it's all range party except tank, so the healer was the one infront in the middle while the rest of the dps and healer are at the back.

My group had actually tried the stacking method as well but found that it doesn't work well for us due to the different reaction time for each players, every time we tried to dodge piercing laser while stacking someone will always die, I think we wasted a few days using this method before we decide to change to non-stacking and we got better result straight away.

A lot of ppl started off with the stacking method, cause it minimizes human error based on individual responsibility. It's a stupid tactic though, as literally all DDs have to move every single time they get targeted by Laser or Gravity Field...which only prolongs the fight unneccesarrily, cause you miss out on possible DPS(unless you run a 4 BRD setup...). If your group members are not retarded they should be able to pass on the rot individually.

This is what my group does depending on which setup we go in with. We don’t use the stacking method, we prefer to spreadout for less chance of lazors wiping us all.

ADS may or may not be a pokeball.
