What I have noticed with this, is that players come into this fight without completing there lvl70 job quests. So they don't have there 290 job gear, which is a huge help for this fight.

I hate that fight. Not because of the mechanics, because of the ppl that refuse to watch a guide or listen to explanations. Ppl dying over and over again to the same mechanics, not listening to advices etc. I had that dragon down to 4% and 3% on my first df group. But every other group after that has been a pain in the ***.
Oh my GOD not this thread AGAIN - all this fight needs in order to be completed is a little effort from people in order to pay attention, and a little patience from people (wiping a couple of times is OKAY, don't vote abandon after a single failure)


I would suggest going back to the 2.0 primals if you can't understand certain attacks.
As most of them are from 2.0, no joke.

Never said the mechanics were too hard to do right. The issue I had was that I had no time to even use DWT properly because they happened too quickly and if you mess one up, that's a vulnerability stack and the second mistake hits you for more than your max health.The fight is mechanically easy. Every mechanic has obvious visual displays that you will have seen in previous MSQ fights.
The only issue is that mistakes compound painfully when DPS is ridiculously low. There's too much health to carry 4 corpses without Refresh/Tactician. Or even just half-corpses.
For the record, I did get my clear the other night and the party I was in just so happened to do it without anyone (me included) dying. That being said, I still think the fight's way overtuned and I'm not going to do trials roulette without a <70 in the party until it gets nerfed.




It will get easier over time anyway. You will find that more and more people who have cleared will be paired up in the trial roulette, and people will get better gear. The fight will get easier naturally, trial roulette will be fine, no need for a nerf.For the record, I did get my clear the other night and the party I was in just so happened to do it without anyone (me included) dying.

This battle is no where near as frustrating as Steps of Faith. Pre-nerf, that instance was hair pulling frustrating. It was... hard. I remember barely beating it. They nerfed it so bad it's not even funny.
I liked this fight. Granted, I was hating it when I was struggling to finish it. It took me two groups. First one was terrible. Second was much better but still wiped about 3-4 times. Just do the mechanics. A dumb game is not a fun game.
To the people having trouble with RM take heart - it took me 11 groups but i finally got it done (healer)
1. 2 wipes in phase 1 tank left
2. 3 wipes in phase 2 vote abandon
3. 4 wipes in phase 1/2 (2/2) vote abandon
4. 3 wipes in phase 2 vote abandon
5. 2 wipes in phase 1 tank left
6. 1 wipe in phase 1 tank left
7. First tank dc'ed then me (1 attempt)
8. 3 wipes in phase 2 (all under 10%) vote abandon
9. 3 wipes in phase 1/2 (2/1) vote abandon
10. 6 wipes in phase 1/2 (3/3) vote abandon
11. succes on 1st attempt
You'll get there eventually.
But I must say that I am relived it is finally over. 28 attempts (not counting the dc)
