Ramuh Extreme is bugged after 29/7 maintenance???

The chaotic strike never targets the MT right?

well, thats not 100% true. there are 2 people marked for chaotic strike. one will be a random member which IS NOT #1 or #2 on the hate list. the second one will ALWAYS be the furthest person from ramuh. So if the MT is collecting orbs while ramuh is doing chaotic strike, he might be the furthest from ramuh an will be targeted by it.

to prevent this, u can have your sch standing on the edge of the arena and only running in for thunder strike.

I thought Chaotic Strike was based on proximity to the boss? Was the tank running away from Ramuh to pick up an orb when it happened?

yes... so this might be the reason. Thanks.

Why would you solo tank this fight when it's already incredibly easy to do with two tanks whilst meeting the DPS requirements with even 3 people?
Why make the fight harder than it has to be?

the only thing i have to contribute to this, why would a player be exempt from being attacked? what about that makes sense? "hes main tank, he cant get hit by this", even though the tanks job is to get hit with everything they can while staying alive.

Unless you've been living under a rock all these years, I'll assume this is your first MMO and explain.

Tanks not being targeted by specific mechanics has existed for years mainly because certain mechanics targeting tank would make the fight impossible. Best example in this game is Titan EX. Imagine him Gaoling a tank then said tank lose threat then Titan turns to the group, Mountain Buster the party, chaos ensues.

Yes it targets the MT or OT.

I had this happen yesterday BEFORE the patch.

I had not seen this before but it DOES happen.

It happened to me while Main Tanking and to the other tank while I was OT'ing.

There is no bug here.

Because this game is infested with crappy DPS players who want to put even more responsibility on the tank.

I've seen this bug, I think it's when you get a lag spike. But it is new.

Thing is, for this particular time, I wasn't lagging at all. At least I certainly didn't notice anything

Tanking in this game isn't hard though.
On a lot of fights it's generally considered the easiest job in terms of mechanics.

I've seen a tank get chaotic before when he is collecting orbs. I don't think I've seen the tank that currently has Ramuh get chosen for chaotic though. Either way though, if it happens, like others have said, that tank just needs to get back in position before it takes hold. The boss frees the tank with his attacks.

What's with this solo tank method though? Sounds like if you are learning, you'd be better off doing a duo tank method anyway, unless can't kill the adds fast enough. If that's the case though, instead of going single tank, I'd just have a caster limit break a few of them. Single tank just sounds like a pain in the butt. Remember the days with the egi tank? Summoner dies and bam, wipe. Same with single tank I'd bet.

Even during the days that the egi tank was still a viable option, I usually voiced against it. That strat was always more trouble than worth, unless you just had really low dps.
