I may be done.

[Metaphasic]

Yeah. I think that's where I'm heading. However, there are some considerations. Maybe you can give me some suggestions based on the following:

1) I am story oriented and prefer games that focus on that over being gear oriented.
2) I despise grinding for hours on end.
3) I absolutely require tab targeting.
4) I loathe non-deterministic systems, such as Diablo IVs Enchanting and Tempering.
5) While I prefer having other people on, guids/fcs, I won't rule out a single player game that meets my requirements.
6) It has to something modern, with amazing graphics.
7) It has to be CHEAP or FREE. I don't have a lot of spare change to throw around.

Things I've played before and will no longer touch due to one reason or another:

1) Diablo (I, II, II Lod, III, IV)
2) SWTOR
3) WoW
4) FFXIV
5) Aura Kingdom
6) Warhammer (defunct now I think)
7) Lotro
8) Halo (with son before he grew up)
9) Call of Duty (with son before he grew up)
10) Castle Crashers (This was amazingly fun, but I no longer have a console)

its hard to believe someone cant even do 10%. does wuk lamat get so much dmg in the beginning of the fight? how do you die exactly.

i know this probably wont help since you watched a bunch of videos but im curious.
and what im always wondering about these situations: how often did you try it?

Thanks for asking. I'm happy to answer!

So, I now what the buttons do. The fight doesn't start immediately so there was plenty of time to review them. Button 1 is a single target combo, button two is an aoe which is kind of useless. It's meant to tempt people to use it during the multiple ads part. But you're supposed to just focus on the glowy one. There's a heal, a gap closer, and a ranged attach to use while running around.

The mechanics are simple enough to understand. He places down some plyons. Avoid and stand on the green ones. He summons copies. But the original glows like fire. He puts down some soak towers. Do them in the order he puts them down. He also "chases" you with an ground effect when some of the pylons are about to explode. Just run around the ring.

All that is easy, and never hurt me once. Where things go wrong is that Lamat runs a lot slower than a player character. This, combined with my already slowed responses means Bakool himself hits me more than he should. So, here's my approach. Typically, I'd fire off one ranged, then use the gap closer. Immediately I begin strafing around him so he can't hit me as often while doing the button 1 combo. I move away for the other mechanics. WHile running, I use the ranged attack. I heal every time it's ready.

I always seem to die by his hand. Not any of the other junk. I feel kind of cheated in this one. And, I've probably done it over thirty times now. In my latest attempts on Easy, I've occasionally gotten of three LBs and him down about 2/3 of the way. But it's extremely erratic. If Very Easy wasn't bugged, making it harder than Easy, I probably would've already finished it.

They truly need to fix this.

[Asari5]

you die from his auto-attacks while avoiding pretty much everything else?

what gear do you wear? does anybody know if your own gear influences the npcs stats when you play as them?

also: are potions usable as wuk?

[Metaphasic]

I think it does. Most of it is still the stuff I got from the boost, level 660. Though, some of it is stuff I got while leveling to 64. The duty scales me to 663 overall, only two points shy of the max of 665. So, I don't think that's an issue. It is, however, not melded. Do you think if I invested in some Vit it would help? I mean, you can only meld up to a certain point before the thing says it'll be irrelevant.

About potions, I don't believe so.

[Asari5]

you cant meld vitality.
and also any piece that gets scaled down turns off the materia it holds. so you wouldnt benefit a lot from it.

maybe try to replace the 640 pieces on your left side (weapon and armor) if there still are any left with something better.

that woild probably help the most in terms of equipment. no clue how big the difference actually would be though

[Metaphasic]

Alright. Well, thanks for trying. I have five days left on the free days that come with it. I'll keep trying until then.

[Metaphasic]

OMG!!! I FINALLY DID IT!!!!

And just in case anyone else has this problem, I figured out what it was. During the basic melee, he occasionally raises his hand and takes a chunk of your life. Not sure why I didn't see it before. Avoid that!

[Jeeqbit]

I really do not believe so. That's the whole reason it's difficult. Because if you were playing as yourself you'd be able to try different jobs until one has a cheese strat (ie. Paladin, Clemency and Hallowed Ground).

I'm glad you got it!

In my opinion: just let us skip all role-playing duties.
Seriously, I'm absolutely not interested to learn inferior versions of warrior, red mage and astrologian as well as their gameplay just for one duty. And even much less I am interested playing as UNKNOWN IMPERIAL, sorry.
Throw a difficult encounter where I get to play my own character using my own job, yes. Role playing duties though? No.

Only times I liked playing the RP version was G'raha because break was kind of fun and Y'shtola just to see the LB 3 I wish WHM had instead.
