Patch 2.3 "Ramuh Primal Fight"

[KitanaiKoneko]

Don't worry guys, I'll use apocatastasis on the MT...Once every 2 minutes...

[NinjaTaru72]

I stick a fork in an outlet when I was a kid, I think I can handle a little lightning primal

Finally.

Been wanting to kill this pervert for a while. I hope after we kick his butt, we get to take him to court where tempered Sylphs can show us where, on the Wind-up Sylph, the Primal touched them. Oh, that they call themselves "touched ones" is just as coincidence? Sure, and I bet the fact that he has them all high on Milkroot, and pushing it on the untouched Sylphs, is just a coincidence too. Those bondage plants are perfectly natural, too. Cannot wait to kill this dirt bag.

I'm curious to know if his Primal Music will be more in the vein of Ifrit (big symphonic orchestra piece) or more similar to the last three Primals (rock with lyrics). If the former, it'll give me another song to work on deciphering the lyrics too, heh. I still need to figure out a few bits of Leviathan and the second half of Ultima. But I'd guess Soken'll go with more traditional music for the ol' man. It's more fitting, I think.

Law & Order:SVU / FFXIV:ARR crossover?

Lore-wise, if we're fighting Ramuh, then someone dun goofed really bad and pissed him off. I hope its that over Ascian mind-control or something equally dumb.

Best part of Ramuh is... SHIVA IS NEXT!

[Yumi_umi]

Now if only ramuh did 1.5x damage more to ppl with levi weps and 2x damage to tidal weps lol cuz it's like a thunder rod made put of water and levi flesh lol.
Then again more than half of us are wearing metal.... Lol
He'll probably drop accessories :/
Cuz two primal weps is too far fetched in 1 patch.

How I imagine this fight to go.

Continuous ground focused energy field, basically how things ran in King Behemoth. Progressively becoming stronger as the fight goes if certain things aren't handled properly, from a small tick that is mostly negligible to a hard tick that can wipe a party within moments as healers just cant keep up with it.

Like the Slyphs, he won't actually be on the ground, he'll hover, possibly even moving rapidly across the arena quickly. I'm guessing teleporting, without having a set tank position such as how Ifrit jumps but returns to the original tanked location every time.

I doubt we'll see the raw, forceful way that the other Primals are. I imagine his fight will almost be more like Garuda in nature.

Ifrit is explosive, charging you down. Garuda tries to cut you down, sending out multiple foes to attack from multiple angles, calling on copies/the sisters to distract you, stretch you thin while building up for a big hit. Titan is like his element, forceful, but grinding, trying to crush you the entire time (tumults/geocrush), Leviathan is like Ifrit, using his element against you, rocking the boat, careening across the platform to try to plow you down. The biggest glaring issue in Levi Ex is he's trying to drown you. Ifrit wants to burn you. Garuda wants to cut you down and Titan is trying to crush you. So I see Ramuh wanting to make you stop, paralyze (as someone else mentioned) and gradually destroy you. But I see the tempo of his fight being slower than the others, which is where the electrified field comes in, moving around the arena to deal with the party at multiple angles, trying to exploit weakness in formation.

I hope, I won't be disappointed, he's among my favorite 'summons' in the series. Right next to Alexander.

Best part of 2.3.

Still they need a area for Shiva Aethercrystal which means we may be getting a new area in 2.4 or 2.5 for Coerthas.

Still I question when Shiva Primal Fight will be since if it is 2.4 then what will they do for 2.5 since all known primals may be done unless they have Bahamut Primal Fight for 2.5
