    A suggestion re: the final boss of Aglaia. I know it goes against every bit of muscle memory and everything you've ever learned as a tank in the past, but tank him facing south. He faces himself south so often for so many mechanics, that trying to tank him north is essentially spinning him constantly.

    This post brought to you by missed Trick Attack positionals on my last time doing it on NIN.

    But still, not a reason for SCH to behave like that. Logs are for log runs. Reclears are for gear.
    Oh okay xD, tbh I wish it was a bit more clear without logs when the damage is reduced.
    Like maybe it could say '' -10% '' on the side or something, same with what type of damage it is magical or physical if they had different colors.

    Finally getting the level 70 raids done. Took an hour for the first one to queue(as heals, not sure if dps is better even if there's 5 slots), but at least it popped. Even got through the second run but...

    My co-heal died like 10+ times the entire time. Pretty sure they were res'd like 8 times in the final fight alone. Also I got rescue yoinked into a vortex of death at the last moment. Would've been a deathless run(personal) if they hadn't done that so I'm salty. I don't know if co-heal did it on purpose or not...

    Edit: Orbonne Monastery destroyed me. Someone needs to post for me here because I'm not a fan of the weird obscure mechanics in there.

    Entered a Dead Ends after months... I was WHM, the Job I main in Savage. Was an absolute numbskull. Sorry, tank. Not sure why the health was slipping so quickly and was unmanageable. Probably WAR/PLD healing has me spoilt.

    More on my first run through the game as Healer, currently in HW. Did my roulette on WHM today, rolled Stone Vigil, immediately noticed the Tank was a Gladiator (didn't say anything, no DPS said anything so I figured they might be together or something) first pack I notice RPR is taking aggro and so am I, so I heal through it, anyways, we get to the first boss, still taking regular aggro even though he has Iron Will up. We hit the next pack and finally the RPR asks the Tank "are you using your AoE?" and I reply with "He has no Job Stone" to which the DPS are both obviously shocked, and hadn't noticed lol. Tank continues to single target mobs, and admits he hasn't played in 2 years and can't remember his combo's. So long story short, I healed through a Stone Vigil with a Jobless Tank who had no AoE usage, and nobody died.

    Oh and he somehow accidentally clicked OFF his iron Will for the final boss.. my heals were pressured, couldn't really DPS much, but we made it through, somehow. I feel I need to brag, cause I always think I'm a mediocre Healer at best lol.

    I'm not seriously angry at the Tank, but I wish I had the confidence to jump on the game after 2 years, immediately queue up a roulette as Tank and just fumble my way through without checking my gear, job quests, or even my skill bar and abilities.

    Are you asking what the mechs are? Its not totally clear. But i do love Orbonne, so i can drop a bit of knowledge. If not for you, then maybe for someone else reading.

    First Boss: His "tricky" move is sniping. You need to note which direction he is sniping from, and you need to look at your debuff. The name is confusing, but that doesnt matter if you know what to do(or read the debuff itself). It highlights one of your 4 sides. Turn THAT side toward the boss. You will take 90ish% damage(pointing any of the other 3 at him is death), and continue the fight. When he uses repair he either repairs some bombs in the arena(any highlighted will detonate over their quadrant), repairs some of the robots at the edge(those highlighted attack in a straight line accross), or both.

    Second Boss: The move that seems to trick people is the shield. When she spawns shields you should usually grab one(one version of the mech lets some people skip, but if you always do the shield you never get hit). This gives you a duty action, and she follows up with an attack. Using the action puts you in a shield pose. The "trick" is that you need to point the shield at her to be protected from the attack.

    Third Boss: He starts with dropping the party to 1hp and giving them doom(healers top off party to clear). For his sword attacks you need to look at how he's holding the swords(all 3 have the same name). Pointing at a circle is an attack on that circle, held upwards at an angle is point blank aoe(get away), sticking into the ground is a donut aoe(get close). Duskblade you need 3 people in each circle(tanks/heals left, dps right used to be popular). Shadowblade you want to drop the puddles at the very back of your circles so they wont overlap. For crushwolf one of your circles will spawn an add in the back, kill it to avoid explosion. Crush weapon will target one player and they will be the center of a series of high-speed attacks - run away from the party until they stop. Tank-buster is crush helm(if the healer esuna's the debuff before the attack actually happens its a much weaker hit). And finally crush armor is the tether. Each hit applies a slashing vuln so a team member(not the tank) grabs the tether and pulls it to the side. After taking one hit, the next team mate should grab the tether to take the next hit(and so on). I think it hits 5 times.

    Fourth Boss: I honestly dont remember any moves that "trick" people here.

    If there was something i skipped that you remember being an issue, name/describe it and im sure someone will know the move.

    She drops those giant crystals which are + aoes and she can shift them before they go off. The fight in general is also very chaotic.

    Ultima's worst mechanic is the "maze" segment where you have to dodge AoEs, moving adds dropping more AoEs, and still make it back into her hitbox before the moving wall of doom reaches you. Oh, and until you're back up close, you're pacified and can't cast anything, not even defensive skills or sprint. It's annoying and breaks the flow of the fight.

    Otherwise there's just a crapload of AoEs everywhere, and catching the divebomb adds for a damage buff. It's not too difficult, it's just constant.

    Was it DRK?
    I feel like DRK tanks are the ones that drop from 100% to like 10% in the blink of an eye lol.

    GNB, actually. I don't think they Superbolided at any time so it wasn't anything related to that.
