Turn 2 "easy mode", disables every mechanic in the fight

Would you consider this an exploit or not?

I don't think this can be classified as an exploit, but I do know the crummy music you've got playing over the gameplay footage in that video is against SE's materials usage policy.

Cure 3 in my gear = 10800 hp for 505 mp (without the crit bonus), ~21 hp recovered for every point of mp spent
Medica in my gear = 5,760 hp for 372 mp, ~15 hp for every point of mp spent.

Cure 3 is far more MP efficient than medica if you can hit all 8 people with it. Medica II should be use every time the regen wears off and this fight is easily doable with two healers.

I'm still a bit skeptical. Not saying I don't believe you, of course. I haven't attempted it like that, but unless the DPS is monstrous, I'd imagine 2 healers would go OOM much too soon with Cure 3 spam over Medica.

Doing cure 3 allows you to not spam heal, but instead cure almost every other hit, taking turns with the other WHM. I already do cure 3 in the normal 3 healer strat, and its great on my mp. 2 healers would be easy.

You'll never oom faster using cure 3 over medica if people are stacked properly. You will always save yourself mp.

I will try this, this week. After reading your post I'll experiment with it and see how it goes. I rarely use cure 3 since it's so situational. This time however I think it would outshine medica now that I think about it.

So how many of you are killing Caduceus without splitting and slimes?

Wipe mechanics are intended to be wipe mechanics. If they're not doing their job they need to be fixed.

kool video but they went against the rules (using non ingame music) so sadlly it will eb taken down soon

I like this strat being a healer i like the idea of not having to move alot.

Each time you do something it gets easier, eventually people will have the first 5 turns on farm. Remember when the wall in AK was the challenge and how laughably easy it as now?!

Would this strat only be doable using 2 whms? Because I main scholar (though I do have a whm semi geared - full dl and garuda wep) and how many bards would you need to keep mp up?

I think it has more to do with us over-gearing it (it was meant to be run in AF, but we're doing it in level 70~90 stuff) than practice.
