Titan normal in leveling roulette, Titan Hard in trial roulette, Eden Titan in raid roulette. The bastard was really out to get me today.

... What?
It... it does...? What... what are the adds?

It turns into a tornado that spits out exploding slimes.

Had a really fun attempt at dracula (Hesperos) the other day. Both tanks dc'd about 20 seconds after the fight started. We got so far. The other healer and I were helping a dps who had aggro. It was intense and awesome. People started dropping but we were rezzing. Waiting for a tank to return from disconnect. Eventually a lot of people died by mechs and by being punched by the boss; Tankbusters are just too much. Aggro was on me. I panicked and forgot to use lilybell. It would have been so cool. We would have gotten super close to beating him if I had used that. We wiped. Tank finally got back like right after the wipe. We had a smooth easy run after we had a tank to actually tank. Wanted to put a fun positive experience on here.

For a negative experience; I had to report people for extreme bullying and abuse the other day. Some of most disgusting treatment of another person I've seen in some time. They were bullying a tank who was having trouble.

No tale to be told, just found out that A3N actually has an add phase.

I've been playing for over 5 years and I didn't even know.

This revelation is as shocking as the worm add phase in that Cloud of Darkness fight.

Sometimes I miss those little guys. Lotta fun deaths and confusion to them back in ARR.

Except when I realize the only reason they spawn now is when the raid is really, really bad.

During Tornado phase, he will spawn adds called "Gear Lubricant" and "Piston Lubricant". It's the phase immediately after the hand splits and he turns into a water vortex. Usually, you can skip this mechanic with decent DPS. It's much easier to see it at min ILVL during Heavensward when no one has any clue how to do mechanics or do good DPS. After this phase, he goes and summon 3 water puddles and begins the final phase.

It's sorta like the World of Darkness alliance raid, where you never see the shadowlurkers pop out anymore.

I… started in HW sort of at the end and… have never seen either.

Color me surprised.

The. What.

[Avatre]

The. What.

If the DPS is low enough, right before the clouds that get walled off, there are worms that pop up in random spots, and literally take 1 hit from anything to knock back down to the void. If done right, you can get people walled off fighting the clouds, and have the worms hitting them with debuffs that can end up killing people. Haven't seen the worms myself since early HW, but it was entertaining when it happened like that.
