    I'm sorry I took 2 seconds of my time to reply to one of these stupid forum threads and didn't blatantly try to spam the boards with my own video. I just assumed "youtube hard mode darnus" would yield the darnus videos in different job point of views had the person who read the message had any common sense at all whatsoever. Obviously I asked for too much.

    Because watching a video (something he has probably done before now) is the same as asking for tips? You shouldn't have wasted '2 seconds of your time' to reply, if it was going to be a pointless post.

    Saying "lol look at youtube" is about as useless as it gets.

    Sometimes it's more helpful to get a written guide/set of tips, rather than trying to glean information from videos with no commentary. Although there are already a few gems of information out there, at the very least OP is asking for help in an open manner, rather than getting frustrated and making a thread about how this fight is impossible (something that is pretty common every patch...).

    No one should ever get derided for asking for help.

    If you were ACTUALLY familiar with the subject and actually youtubed "hard mode darnus" you would know that only 2 videos of it are up on youtube. One was from BG which was posted when they made a guide for it and one was a BLM pov video that I had JUST uploaded 2 days ago so I HIGHLY doubt he would've seen it already. There *may* be other videos there but they're not as easy to search for. What you assume to be useless isn't just so in this regard, but thanks for *your* 2 seconds of useless.

    Someone had already suggested the BG video (As in actually helped).

    The other video is some anime music on top of a 480p video with no commentary to explain what is happening and what to do.

    Hence why written guides were requested. So no, telling him to youtube it wasn't useful at all.

    Most videos are just gameplay videos with no commentary or tips. Just some guys playing with awful music playing in the background.

    Suggesting videos without commentary is useless.

    Translation: If you're not gonna spoonfeed it to me completely then you're useless.



    Yep. That's right.

    Well he asked for tips.

    Having mumbling people over Vent whilst you play some cheesy j-pop isn't exactly helping.

    Hence his catty reply. If you didn't want to help him you shouldn't have tried

Bravo to you though, this is exactly the kind of horse-high attitude I was expecting to come from someone "seeking help and advice".
    When i made a group for this, it was a requirement for everyone to read the BG guide and watch the video before we started. Your comment was just useless. Thats why i had the "horse-high attitude"

    Edit: there are actually a few videos on this. There's one that's MNK PoV that's rather good.

    Okay so petty trolling aside, what is your main issue in the fight insofar, seeing as you've watched the videos and read guides? From page 1 post, your DPS was bad? Are you parsing? Are they taking too much damage and spending too much time half-dead to do anything to Darnus?
