Fine.

Died to all this as I figured out what the AoEs were, but that was expected, No worries, go again.
You didn't die to those.

Get one-shot by something. Puzzled.

Third time. Exact same result.

Tab out, watch a guide. Oh there's a spell that needs to be interrupted. Okay. Write the name of the cast on my notepad.
You didn't get one shot by anything up to this point.

This is the first thing that will kill you without mitigation.


How do I know this? Easy, I tested it.

That video shows 3 runs. The first I used no mitigation and got hit by every mechanic once. The second run, I got hit by everything, but started to use mitigation. I only took one stab at that but it does show that, even at 4 vuln stacks, with just a Damnation, you will survive. I did die shortly after to balls, but I suspect it is possible to live longer, I just didn't want to test further. The last clip is doing the fight, dodging everything and then getting trolled by Wuk Lamat when I went to help her in her arena >_>

Gear wise, ilevel 748, no food or materia #9I show all gear at the start).

I don't mind when people say they struggle, or thy find things difficult. There are going to be ways around it whether that is getting help from others or asking for a new 'easy' difficulty for trusts where you get 1 revive and 25% health increase for example. However, over exaggerating what happened, in this case when you died, does not help your cause at all.
