I wouldn't mind if they toned him down just a notch. Holding hate on him hasn't really been the issue on my so-so PLD, except for when he gets off a particularly bad stun and then proceeds to spam his Lance attack... which I still haven't gotten the hang of dodging.

The real problems I've encountered thus far are his HP regen during the 2 hour (which lasted for like 4 minutes on my last run, what the crap?) and his AoE - even holding him in the sweetspot in phase 2 he seems to get off some AoE that'd normally miss the others.

He also used Fierce Ravensbeak on me, which still confounds me as I had hate and was tanking him at the base floor when he just suddenly warped up then came back down and fragged me... one of our BLM's was upstairs at the time dealing with a meteor, but can he just switch targets like that mid-attack?

Currently 0/6 on him, and getting fed up. My gear's up to date (though hardly "ideal") and all the people I've run it with have all been good with the general strategy etc, I just seem to keep running into a brick wall every time we get close to the win. SOMETHING goes wrong, every time... @_@
