Pharos Sirius / Duty Roulette

[Yumi_umi]

The only problem with Pharos Sirius is people trying to zerg through it.
First boss, concentrate on taking down adds, and if you have stacks, let them dissipate before dpsing boss further...
Second boss, leave the eggs alone or only kill one egg when it lights up.

For the 1st boss i just ask the dps to burn boss while i tank and kite adds
Its very do able without LB too.
Cuz i can take about 2 aetherial explosions before dying lol and having like 10 dogs chase you is funny / scary.
For Zu, i just ask them to burn him cuz i can still keep everyone up while tanking the adds. It gets kinda laggy tho lol cuz each of the pullet/ crockets will do breath of wind XD but non the less very easy to tank them all and still heal normally.
3rd boss = don't need to even move.
Siren= just fight it normally lol
I like how this dungeon success is technically up to the healer and their skills. So ppl will be more likely to stay when u offer to carry them XD

Over gearing has its perks as people would feel like their victory is more assured even without assessing the individual's skill at their job.
Cuz its all about stats and not skill in most ppls eyes at first glance.

It's really not that hard, most of the dungeon is enjoyable but because of the last boss it's not worth the time/reward.

All they have to do is remove that idiotic healing debuff and I think everything would be fine.

It's mostly just derp dps that don't listen to what you tell them.

In agreement. Looking at Pharos again, the all the bosses before Siren just require your DPS to down the adds ASAP and it should be fine (except Zu, have to always remind DPS not to let stack go above 12 and murder the tank).

Siren is just a little more demanding for healers. But again, it isn't that tough if your Tank silence Lunatic Voice.

I like the siren fight, resembles final boss of parasite eve 2 soo much. Too bad drops from pharos are so crap that it is only worth completing it once and never visiting again.

Only lazy people leave everything up to the healer when with little extra work for the tank, Lunatic Voice can be prevented and make it much easier.

While I've beaten siren as healer plenty of times with lunatic voice not being prevented, it's a huge pain that is totally unnecessary.

This dungeon is very easily doable at low item levels. When I first hit 50 on BLM, I queue'd a DR on it, and got this dungeon. I was only i70, and there was a SMN as well, that was obviously even lower item level than I was. First boss, no issues at all. We killed the adds as they popped, and DPS'd boss in-between adds.

Zu went fine as well, we lasted long enough to actually see all the eggs hatch, which I've never seen before. But we pretty much treated it same as the 1st boss. The last batch of eggs actually hatched all at once, was about 5-6 pullets. But I just LB'd them down, and that was that.

Third boss probably isn't even worth mentioning, just like every other group, zerg it down and done.

And even the Siren wasn't that bad. The adds are really weak. Even at i70 I could 2-shot them with AF3 Fire 1's.

I hate that people are such pansies when it comes to this dungeon. It's my favorite 4-man specifically because it's the only one that presents even a modicum of challenge, and yet almost inevitably when you zone into it someone leaves.

And of course in 2.2 they're going to nerf it and have stated that the original difficulty was too high for what they're targeting for 4-mans. So it looks like we should not expect to see any challenging 4-man content at all in this game.

Particularly lolDRGs. Been there, done that.

Well said, OP! I absolutely hate it when people leave the dungeon because they find it too hard. I've only completed Pharos Sirius 2-3 times out of the other times where people just drop it because it is "too hard" for them. Screw those losers. I just want to have fun in a challenging dungeon instead of seeing Haukke HM, Wanderer's Palace, or Amdapor Keep every other time. I want more variety and experience regarding multiple dungeons, but these pansies who leave before the first pull aren't doing anyone favours--including themselves. It's frustrating when you're eager to do something and a bunch of wusses just leave you hanging in the wind because they can't be bothered to try. Quoting Gretzky here, "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take."
