Pharos Sirius / Duty Roulette

[Mirakumi]

To be fair, reluctant to learn also applies to well geared people...
I've been in some groups where they simply didn't know the real mechanics because they have just followed some guide or something...

Yeah, I agree. I didn't mean new people from my comment. I just meant in general that some people reluctant to learn. (even well geared who stepped inside for first time because they think they can zerg with i90.) ^^

So much for the only fun dungeon in the game.

..and slightly off topic, but I didn't actually think it was possible to make this any easier...

These nerfs make me sad. PS isn't that hard if everybody knows how to do their jobs properly, and AK was just ungodly easy after the addition of CT equipment. The fact that people still have problems with AK just makes me want to scream at them "JUST UNINSTALL!" As for PS, whenever we got to Siren and failed, it was usually because somebody wasn't doing their job properly. Last failed attempt was the tank not grabbing aggro of the storm privates (because I'm pretty sure he can) during the fight, and then me on my MNK getting hit with Siren's Song and still having to DPS the mob that was constantly hitting me. The SCH couldn't heal my HP fast enough.

What were you doing with the privates ?
A) Going just behind siren.
B) Running like an headless chiicken.
C) Staying at the edge of the zone.

What were you doing when the tank provokes a private ?
A) DPS/HEAL URR URR URR.
B) Wait for the private to be next to the tank before hitting him.
C) Not touch them at all before the death of the sergeants.

Running this as dps or healer I have never seen a tank try to grab an add, ever. Running it as a tank I grab all the adds because it doesn't make sense not to.

Such is life in the roulette.

I do if the DPS don't "URR URR DPS PRIVATES URR URR" at the opposite side of the map (I don't want to see The Siren face them, she cleaves) or if I don't need to cut a lunatic a few seconds later.

C and C. My problem was that I was taking too much damage, and Siren would consistently aim at me with her song. There's only so much the SCH can do when I'm taking 400-600 damage per hit. Especially when it's their first time in PS and barely meeting the i48 criteria.

horray pharos finally nerfed.

So I get pulled into Pharos Sirius for the umpteenth time and both Tank and Healer bailed. I'm asked by the other DPS a bard whether we should wait or leave. I said to wait and was going to vote to abandon if no one showed by the first 15 mins. We get a Scholar after about 12 mins and she asks if the Tank and Healer bailed before even starting. Both of us said yep.

I summon Titan and she said she'd never been in a group that was able to pass the first boss with just a Titan Tank. We try anyway and first attempt we bombed with 25% left. Second attempt a Tank appears half way and Cheers us on from the gate as my Titan mops the floor with that pirate. I jumped between full Pet maintenance to assisting the Bard DPS the adds off the Healer and her pet. Once we got through that fight we practically flew through the rest of the dungeon with an actual tank at our disposal.

Zu's fight was really easy. Only I dropped because I didn't know not to kill both eggs. The Bard and I had never done the dungeon before. Fun learning experience. We make it all the way up to Siren and proceeded to dust the top of the tower with her feathery hide >=3

That had to be the easiest dungeon I've gone through. I can understand difficulty if you don't know, but once you see the bosses patterns or get the flow of battle going in your direction, the battle practically beats itself for you. Why must Tanks and Healers bail from such an easy dungeon D=

The potency of Plaincracker used by Megalith Marionette has been reduced.

Pretty sure the that's the big statue that you run to the side to avoid. And I think Plaincracker is the big AoE.

I had to think for a few seconds before I realized that thing would have been the only one left to even have such an attack. I have never seen its name, its attack's name, or get hit by it to even remember it lol. It's usually covered ny the pillars.

But the bees are still a challenge for healers. Mainly because the bees will always target healers (unless maybe if you're sch). Getting it removed entirely kind of makes me sad. At least just reduce their power a bit

[Sorata]

U can speed run haukke hm, which is nothing but a minor dps check.....or you can do pharos Sirius.....? I think squaresoft have addressed the reward imbalance between pharos and other lvl 50 dungeons though. Expect a boost to gained myth in 2.2 maybe?

I just realized, you said "Squaresoft" O_o I miss that company...
