FF15 Event -- "Monolith Warp" Mechanic is still broken

[Hasrat]

.. I don't understand. Did everyone miss the part where they TOLD you to use the warp to get out of the AOE? You can basically spam it on the pillars to avoid her big one.

You really can't, tho. That's the issue everyone has. It's on GCD (pretty sure) so you can't just use it instantly over and over; there's a few moments of waiting between use. And if you're trying to spam it but you get pulled by the last draw in immediately after you've warped, you're really not left with enough time to get away to avoid fatal or near-fatal damage. And evidently latency issues compound the problem.

I mean.. you can't warpwarpwarpwarpwarpwarpwarpwarpwarp but I avoided it just by triggering it every time I heard the "BEEEOOOooowww" suck noise. I've always got crap ping too (I live at least 2k+ miles from any data center) , I couldn't do Titan extreme till they toned it down because by the time his AOE's showed I already got hit. In this event I've done it on 3 characters and never wiped once.

The wait-until-just-before-cast-completes method worked best for me; but I think the encounter may just be a little bit buggy, period.

I first ran it on my Warrior, to learn the order of the mechanics. Screwed up quite a bit figuring things out, but just plowed through it. I then ran it on six other toons, all of varying jobs and roles, with no trouble at all.

When I got to my eighth and final character, my little Ninja? Died four times, all of them to the draw-in. Tried the usual timing: Splat. Tried the "pulse" version of the timing, described above: Splat. Tried leading the cast completion a bit, to allow for any latency problem I wasn't seeing: Splat. Clearly escaped the cast and draws, and was in fact standing fully behind the pillar when it completed: Splat.

I only finished it on the 5th try, when I got lucky and managed to live through the blast damage with a sliver of health remaining. YMMV, folks, and it may vary a great deal.

The problem is all solo fights are made for the highest SB stuff. With regular 50 stuff... the fights last but last... it is so loooong boring.

Seriously SE the two fight are long and boring, don't give so many HP to so boring bosses. We don't wipe because fights are hard but of the ridiculous high HP of bosses and ridiculous Noctis DPS. We fall asleep of routine. Shorter, maybe easier, but funnier! fight would have been better.

I thought the two fights were short already.

Did you tried with an alt at level 50 with its regular gear (I mean a ilvl around 50/70)? It is what I'm talking about.

In that case, if they make it shorter for 50, it will be even shorter for 70 synced when it's already short.

If you continue to 'link-strike' Garuda with Noctis, her HP melts away. Don't just use it to get away from her AoEs. Use it every time he does.

Don't the quests at that level award you with the i90 artifact gear at this point?

One could also buy i115 gear from vendors these days. It's not HQ but it's significantly better than i70 stuff.
