Can We Be Honest For A Minute About Ixion?

Hit Ixion once then spam AoE heals for free gold rank

This.

Bascally if you want gold rank, be a tank or a healer. All boss fates are entirely scored off enmity.

Piggy backing off these two replies. Tanks only need to use enmity combo. Healers only need to hit once, then regen and overheal. DPS need to use their optimal rotations and try to avoid using enmity reducing skills (like LD). Also, the person who uses stygian ash will always get full credit (unsure of this myself, never gotten the item and it's still fairly expensive).

People are voicing these things like they are recent problems. When Behemoth and Odin first spawned, these issues were present then. The more people around, the harder it is to gain high contribution; you're more likely to run into everyone getting middling contribution. This can be seen continuing on hunts, Coeurlregina, Diadem version 1 and now Ixion.

Tried this with earlier spawn, had full group - spammed AoE heal over and over, ended up with silver medal.

Then you hit this coming into play:

In my opinion this fate should spawn every 12 hours or so. Currently the only way to do it is if you spend you life camping in the zone prior. Logged in yesterday and you could not even get into the zone like 4hours before it even spawned since everyone was camping it. You have people spending 24hours just staying there to get him. AN did you do get in, your lucky to even get silver because either someone pulls early or the because of lag. And as someone else said, Gold -3 horns, Silver 2-horns or bronze 1-horn. Or do like the fox and get 12-horns for gold, 6-horns for silver or 3-horns for bronze.
