Any point to bringing a healer in Rathalos EX?

[Ilenya]

They can heal themselves there is a potion duty action like Vril in lackshimi or gravity in o2/s

I...I know. It's why I made the comment.

Because some DPS will still blame the healers.

Healer utility still be nice shield,Cards and rathalos might even give players fireblight and esuna might be needed.

Esuna maybe... Cards are only an AST thing, what's with WHM and SCH? and shields are based on healing. no healing means no shields. okay WHM's shield is based on max HP, but it has a cooldown. DRK's TBN will do the job better, while he also does more damage and survives longer than a healer.

The Armor is ugly though, I wanted the cute kirin armor.


Also what about Dark Knight Souleater healing? Will that be disabled?

How are we supposed to dodge? No roll dodging in this game.Think im going MCH.

For the first clear, I think you would want to bring a healer just in case and to see if it could do it without him.

Given that nobody ever wants to stay in Grit, that's not really a change.

This tank is trying to change that, when im in a party with a healer, you can bet your bottom dollar ill be in tank stance 100% of the time. I believe in roles doing their job unless it specifically requires they don't such as when they are in solo content.

there is also no animation lock here, so you can just walk out of the danger zone at any time.

Hi everyone. This thread has been dormant for a few weeks, but I thought I'd ask here instead of creating a new thread just for my question.

Now that people are doing Rathalos EX, do you think there is any need to have a healer?

I have tried WHM and then AST with learning parties and still haven't cleared it.

Between watching the party list for cures and Esuna, chasing after people who go too far, and keeping an eye on Rathalos to dodge with very short reaction times, I'm usually the one that dies 2 or 3 times causing a reset.

I want to clear this fight, but it's so frustrating as a healer that I am ready to give up and go as DPS instead.

Honestly seems like the go-to party config that I can see in PF is x3 tanks and a healer for esuna. If not that, than x4 tanks. It's actually the DPS getting ditched lmao

It's easier if you go in as heal with 3 tanks, because even when they mess up, they will survive unlike a dps. They can also take the stack mark alone, so you only have to use esuna on one person.
If you end up with the standard comp, never let more than 2 people stack. Stack mark + tank, that is more than enough to surive. I have seen groups where all 4 people thought they had to stack together - that's a waste of potions and makes dispeling the fire debuffs unnecessary difficult. Also don't stand far away from Rathalos, staying behind him is the safer place. If he turns in your direction, run immediately. Same goes for the dps. Als tell the dps to not use their full rotations when he is flying, spamming an gcd spell/action is more efficient, as this is what takes Rathalos down - not the damage dealt.
