Pharos Sirius - Too difficult for randoms

[Cha0zb0rn]

hey,

after another run of Pharos (it's been quite a few in the last couple of day, none of them finished) I'm so full of this shit that I actually had to post here to let out my wrath.


Who came up with the great idea to put an instance that requires ppl to think and move into the duty roulette? 8 times i've been wiping around Siren cuz the healers were unable to move and/or heal. last run failed at Zu because 3 dds (we kicked 2) thought its a great idea to kill eggs and ignore cockerels for 3 times in a row. And yes, me and the tank even tried to explain the encounter but they simply wouldn't understand "DON'T ATTACK THE EGGS,FOCUS COCKERELS"

I've been in this shitty dungeon like 8 times now and still havent finished it, most of the time because healers were either underequipped or simply bad or both, I tried to tank it, tried to dd and as a healer all i had was a run where he simply left during the first boss (yes during the fight, not he didn't die) y the fuck do u make me waste so much time for tokens i can get in 10 min wp runs for sure? its ok for ppl being masochistic but take this shit out of the roulette plz since it makes the system more feel like a russian roulette then anything else.


haukke doesn't require ppl to understand whats happening, mine seems to be fine as well, explained in like 4 sentences, PS in comparison has at least 2 encounters u simply cant force upon ppl who go into instances randomly. At least check the gear of the ppl u send in there!

Kudos,

1 pissed customer who wasted like 6 hours of life to progress a lowie ini while dealing 280 dps.

There is a gear level requirement for Pharos Sirius, you need average ilvl of 48 to be put into it. Sadly though there is no way to weed out the morons who refuse to listen and think that standing in the fire is a good thing.

Im so happy i did not unlock this dungeon, roulette works amazing. Have fun dying =)

huh? i usually instruct DPS to destroy one egg during the Zu battle.

less adds, and she doesn't get too badly pissed.

On Siren, tell DPS to focus crawlers, mark them if you have to. pick up the other adds so they don't rip the healer's face off. Crawlers can be stunned. make sure everyone hovers around the middle so they are ready for charge/song. stun lunatic voice. cleanse torment. top off people with song.

This dungeon is way too hard for such pathetic equipment.

i actually know how to kill siren, healer still usually simply can't keep up with the healing for some reason to prevent or cure the charms.

u kill the eggs? how do u sustain the stacks? I know the tactic to kill 1 egg early but 16 stacks ( 2 eggs) and the boss deals like 5k hits to the tanks....how do u sustain through those hits with a healer geared slightly above AK gear?

[cearka]

you kill one egg and only one egg per time that it says "egg is threaghtning to hatch blah blah balh". By the next time, her stacks have reduced enough to again, kill ONE egg and only ONE egg. Have a dedicated person do it (usually that tank can do it with one shield toss or tomahawk). avoids accidentally popping more eggs because no one knows whos doing it.


Ive cleared this dungeon several times as healer, dps, and tank. I agree though the dungeon is abit overtuned for the gear requirement. It should have like an i.55 requirement atleast.

I've done Pharos as a healer in average 72 gear and had a tough time on the last boss. It's easy now that I know the fight, but I could not imagine trying to learn it in 48 gear (what's recommended)

I've also done Haukke Manor with one dps in my group who was probably at 48 gear, and we were not able to dps down the adds fast enough to beat that fight. No way it could be done with a whole party averaging 48.

I think their gear requirements need some adjusting overall for the new stuff.

Not really a gearcheck sirens just got some awkward moves that are way beyond what the average player is accustomed too, its a good learning curve, if your only problem is getting it in a roulette.. thats what a roulette is -.-
