Proto Ultima - The first 24 Man Trial

[KadaRemnant]

This fight was awesome! I really liked fighting him again. But why people complain? ): It was really fun to me and a lot i know.

I did it in Dun Scaith after getting the quest in Idyllshire, and you have a set of gears you can buy with the reward you obtained to complete the quest. Love the chest one for tank!

People complain because they're disappointed. Most of those complaining were in groups who had decent DPS which allowed them to skip pretty much every mechanic, making Proto a glorified striking dummy.

It was lame, sorry.
I hope we can see a hardmode of the 24 dungeons, would be fun.

Aww. ): It sucks. Well i got the mechanics, it was really good with the aoe and adds and final attack that you have to hurry to kill him. Hopefully some can get those mechanics too.

More or less sums it up. I even did it on Dark Knight, which is roughly 257-260 and purposely stood right on the proximity aoe. It did 7k and the two that follow combined for 10k. That is barely half my health, and no I didn't even have Grit up. The only way PU doesn't roll over in under two minutes is if you have utterly abysmal DPS.

The whole thing about Proto-Ultima looks unfinished. Its just looks like a huge middle finger for all FFXIV-players. I dont really get it.

What made it so hard, that SE decided to change Proto-Ultima from a 24-man trial into a simple trash-mob to Dun Scaith. It was playable during the fan festival.

Proto-Ultima should not be in Dun Scaith. It doesnt make any sense. I m still wondering, why its there. What was wrong with the Succubus?

Additionally, why is there only the body piece and some accessoirs (with crappy second stats)? Why no boots, helmet and gauntlets?

PLEASE SE! FIX PROTO-ULTIMA!

{SNIP} and some accessoirs (with crappy second stats)

Well accessories definitely have brought some variety into BiS builds as compared to what they were before along with the relic. And no, stats are not 'crappy' for almost everything, in fact i'm surprized aiming ring has crit at all.
Tank ring tho...

Major source of disappointment was that by now I only did P-Ultima as a dps (both caster and melee) and it's extremely easy. As in, regular Ultima used to be much harder with dodging, knockback, orbs soaking and whatnot. Here you don't really have to dodge anything major and dps, slidecast for a couple of GCDs at most and from what I've seen even if you don't dodge AOEs you won't die. I barely play any casters so the fact I find P-Ultima annoying at exactly pretty much any trash pack level means it's free dps time, tanking and healing is trivial, also. It IS a trash fight in 24m raid.
