Pharos Sirius - Last Boss - Siren (Scholar)

[Ldlv]

3) I'm SOOOOOOO happy I'm a WHM. SCH would be rather screwed for this fight.

Other person who play as a WHM said that SCH would be better. I guess that just depends on how good/bad they play their class.

this fight was rough as healer. As long as healing debuff is stunned it's fairly easy. That move goes off though and it gets very hard to heal up for charm.

Yes, kinda rough. But it's still clearable, it actually makes the run on Siren fun. I rather run a hard unpredictable dungeon than doing mindless grind on wp/ak like before. Just find a manageable party before that! For Siren fight, I think we just need to adapt, learn the strategy with some different party combinations (it will eventually become easy like wp/ak after we know what to do).

I did it as scholar but we did wipe twice
I think you need to spend most of your time topping people off
But yeah, considering the benefits and difficulty of the boss, i wont run the dungeon often

Yea it was clearable just took patience for everyone to get used to the fight. Including me learning how to heal through everything. Tis the fun of new stuff to run and learn. All the new stuff will eventually become mindless grinds. I enjoyed the challenge and felt good first win.

Oh in my first post I forgot an important tip most scholars might have forgotten. Turn off clerics stance. That Boss needs you to heal.

She'll use an AOE Charm that can be avoided by running to the center, but she also randomly targets a non-tank group member with it many times through the fight. She also keeps a strong Bleed up on the tank, repeatedly casting it through the fight, so you have to juggle Leaching/healing the tank and also topping off whoever is charmed. While there are adds running around.

I cleared this with 2 black mages, and a paladin who all had relics +1 (while I had +0 lolol). Basically your best friend in this fight is lustrate and eye for eye. When stuff gets bad, e4e the tank while you take care of leeching all the debuffs & healing whoever is charmed. Your DPS's job is to make sure they prioritize the crawling zombies FIRST especially if those zombies attack the healer. My BMs noticed me getting attacked by 2 crawlers, DPSed them down immediately and I shoot a lustrate at the tank. Finally one of the BMs did an LB and we cleared it with 5 minutes left.


I'm sure there's a better way to do this, but I've not yet discovered this but that's how we managed to clear it

Actually this fight is one of the easiest. There are a few things to remember.

First.
Tank her in middle. She returns here to do her song. EVERONE MUST STACK UNDER HER and you'll avoid the affects of this song.
Adds Spawn. Important to focus-target and down the Sergeants first then th eother guys. Tank should NOT move boss for these, dps can handle
Healer - Stay in LoS of tank but behind boss so if smaller adds agro you he can easily target Provoke and range pull them off you. They don't hurt bad but they still hurt.

If you do those three things it should be crazy easy.

My group last night had the hardest time with Zu.....FYI..if you have baller dps in this fight it makes it harder if you're not careful. We dps'd the boss so damn fast that she pretty much spawned 7 eggs at one time it was fun but man did it hurt

I went in blind to the zone, and ended up kinda arguing with the groups tank who kept saying "Only one person gets charmed" when I SAW everyone get the debuff. At least now I know I wasn't crazy, that it is possible to get it if you don't avoid the move. I think it took 3 tries, but I managed to heal it with no one keeping that healing debuff from going off. Talk about stress for a scholar healer!

Next trip, I will pay for a tank who interrupts that heal debuff. My god I have never removed that many debuffs before in all my years of gaming.

ive managed to beat sirius without any wipes. (6 runs so far) And tbh, most of the times when I saved someone from the curse is when I use phsykick 2~3 times... Not lustrate. Im pretty sure WHM can top up someone with atleast cure~cure2. It may cost them more mana but tbh if everyone avoids sht, there is no reason for anyone to take damage. (Btw Mage Ballard when avail is <333)


Also when the rough gets tough, again the mechanics are so forgiving when it comes to mass damaging your party. Just use a simple Rouse + Fey Illum. + Succor + Whispering Dawn. And Boom, everyone's hp should top up in 4 seconds. I also recommend using sacred soil with Fey Covenant. And remember to keep succor up for your team! It's so important to reduce as much damage as possible, otherwise your making it even harder for yourself to heal everybody.

I had some issues on this as WHM, myself.. it's a rough fight, but doable.

[Teleniel]

This boss is VERY healing intensive which is (at least for me) a nice change. I was able to do it with a PUG group (average gear: relic weapon, il60/il70 armor/accessory mix) but it did take us I think 4 tries.

first it's easier to heal the fight with 3 people (1 DPS, tank, healer) because if your party can't manage to interupt her healing received debuff this is one less person to need to remove it from. As soon as that goes up you need to remove it from DPS(s) > yourself > tank, if you have to you can lustrate the tank while he has it on). To remove the charm-building debuff you will need to Aldoq > Physick (assuming they're dodging things) but don't be afraid to lustrate > Physick right after if they were low.

DPS need to lock down and kill the crawling zombies quickly or they will ruin your day stunning a player.If you have a moment stoneskin the DPS/yourself &/or succor it will help reduce the initial damage for the pre-charm and make it easier to heal/remove.
