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

[Dano]

the main tank will never get chaotic strike, sounds like a bug to me.

edit: after reading other posts, it might be working as intended but i have never ever get chaotic while main tanking. The only time you'll want to collect orbs while tanking is to overcharge, so i guess the proximity condition might be triggered in this case.

if a tank(gld or mar, and their respective jobs), are not actually tanking, is there any reason that they should not get attacked with anything?

as for whoever holds hate, yes i agree that, in some instances, the cant be hit with certain things, but i was referring to a tank class, not the one actually tanking.

edit: after re-reading the initial post, i noticed that i was speaking differently in terms of "tank". that part is my fault, and the way i was thinking wrong.

The planet I live on has 24hr days.

The title is referring to the date, not time. Not every places in the world uses mm/dd/yy format.

The chaotic strike that targeted your MT was probably caused by the MT being the farthest one from Ramuh. Chaotic strike targets two players, one random and the other being the farthest away. So depending on party comp(if you have a lot of ranged) the farthest one out may be a melee during add phase. Not saying this is exactly what happened in your case, but likely

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.

Um....almost every MMO with group content tends to have a boss or a mob with those conditions...seriously..

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?

Because the quality of DPS players is so bad they cry foul at a 1000dps check which is roughly what 3 DPS should be getting, and launch into a frothing rage if you ever hold them accountable for their job. It's however ok for tanks and healers to have responsibility.

Anyway what others said is true, its is not bugged it always targets a random person not first on hate, and the furthest from boss. If your tank is collecting orbs he will get targeted, but it isn't a problem anyway since he will be freed by the boss.

Honestly, the quality of tank players is so bad most of them can't even do a simple defensive cooldown rotation, and cry foul at healers or broken item level requirements when they get killed by "overtuned" damage for item level-appropriate content. DPS at least carry responsibility for their own deaths, tanks can't even handle that.

f you would look above your post, you would see ive already made a correction to what i said. i was referring to a tank class, not the person holding aggro.the tank class is supposed to be the one holding aggro, just because its set up to happen that way, doesnt mean it always will.

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.

That's why there is an off-tank who should always be #2 on the Aggro chain and ready to swap at a moment's notice.

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

Haha, or a random landslide or jail on the Tank. It would honestly be hilarious xD
