Ultima Weapon....more like Ughtima Weapon

[Kerowyn]

This fight is easy if everyone knows their parts to play. I cleared this as a tank in mostly ilevel 70/90 Tank gear. The most important job in this fight I think is the tanks. If you have tanks that cant make the switch well then you're going to have problems.

Next important thing in this fight is the rest of the partys ability to avoid all the avoidable damage and to group up properly for the Bombs ( and have the OT ready to pop LB3 at the end for the last bomb ).

I got lucky and got the Accessory drop on my first time through for my Tank set so I haven't run it too many more times since then, but I remember the fight well.

Where I see most groups crumble is when the four aircrafts come crashing down and the safe spot is in the middle. Lasers are going off a the same time as well. This is a fun fight

My most successful groups have gotten past that. I think the part that mostly kills us is the third set of balls, either because someone that's not a tank tries to LB, there's another reason but I can't quite put my finger on it.

As compared to the group I had before my original post, which made it to 75%...with 15% Echo. That actually marked the first group I ever decided to just take the leaving debuff. I have a lot of patience, but...yeah...

Well, maybe in the coming days I'll have some luck. There has to be good people that haven't done it yet that want that Savage mode!

Like many people have said...if you're hitting enrage it's either the DPS dying too often, the DPS not DPSing enough or both. I find it odd that it's a problem, honestly. I remember doing this with ilvl70 DPS or something just about as low. I even did it once with a DPS down basically the entire fight. We gave up on him and let him stay dead.

I suggest having your DPS research rotations for their classes or check to make sure their internet connections are solid so they are able to dodge things.

Not really got that kind of quality control in DF. I could try PF, but I still don't know people with that. And it makes me feel kinda icky setting too strong of a minimum level. That's all me though.

If you were on Gilgamesh I would of helped you out.

Just killed him a few hours ago.

Of all my attempts at killing Ultima, I've never once ran into this issue of it enraging. What usually killed my group was the last set of orbs since only 1 of the non-tanks knew what to do at that point. We almost wiped again on them on our last try, but said non-tank managed to grab the last orb this time.

If your DPS are overgeared and you're still hitting enrage, they're either dying or using bad rotations. The mistakes I see happen most often are people (still) get hit by and die to Ifrit charges and don't stack for bombs. If the whole group is at minimum ilvl, stacking properly for bombs is the most important part of the fight.

Or dps may keep focus on dodging and doesn't attack enough lol.
tbh, with echo buff, lv60 can become equal strong to lv 90 in the past, I can not see how enrage would happen unless dps doing real bad on it.

what you said.

The closer the group is to the minimum ilv requirement, the more "perfect" they have to be. So yeah, an ilv61 group CAN kill ultima, but they have to be a very good group. The higher ilv your group is, more room for error. But then again, you can be ilv100 (farming soldiery) and still dont know that you need to get the hell out of that flasy red circle under you..... xD
