Leashed monsters, zones and 2.0?

Not by design.
Youre doing it wrong.

I've been in 8-player groups (with 1 non-combating non-healing scout) that can kill H-1 and all the elites at a rate of 12x an hour or more.

I'd like to know your strategy.

I'd like to know your strategy.

Not sucking. PLD WAR WAR DRG DRG BRD WHM WHM makes it a joke. The second tank could be another paladin if you want, and the dragoons can be anything, monks, black mages, more warriors, whatever. You just want to have the three damage dealers focusing down one elite at a time to lower the groups overall damage taken. More things alive, more things hitting you, it's math or somethin I dunno. It's a ticking time bomb until your mitigation runs out and you get unlucky, just like the monk faction leve.

The warriors run in and aggro, the paladin provokes the robot and points it away from everything else. One white mage half babysits the paladin holding the robot (stun is the only halfway dangerous thing, as nothing in this game can outright kill a paladin) and both of the white mages focus on the group. Kill things. It's very simple.

I've never done the leashing or sleeping thing because those both sound very boring.
