Order of the Blue Garter: Open Legatus Challenge

[carraway]

We've been doing him for a couple of days now.
I've watched your vids BG and theres one thing i dun understand...

Is there something you do to stop him from porting all the time in Phase 1?
Cause in the vid he barely ever ports...
When we do him he literally (no joke) ports around 15+ times!
He ports then right after he is done with his beam he ports again midways while running back to the tank.

We can't DPS him down fast enough cause he is never there to get the damage.

Can't DPS something that don't exist...

There's no real secret to what we're doing. We're just DPSing him as hard as we can. Sometimes he ports a lot; sometimes he doesn't. Sometimes he spams Plasma Acoustics; sometimes he doesn't. If your DPS are pushing as much as possible, it shouldn't matter how often he's porting if you're going for your first kill. What's more significant in terms of getting the win is to maintain focus so that the DRGs never lose Power Surge and no one dies. On top of that, every single Lunar Dynamo that lands can add 15-30 seconds to the fight, and each Plasma Acoustics can add 10 seconds up to a full minute or more, depending on fast your WHM(s)/MNK(s) are at ripping the defense-up buff.

Just for frame of reference, our DRGs are peaking somewhere around 90-100 DPS at the end of phase 1 (before he goes up for his second Megaflare). Our group for this is pretty well-geared, but even just a consistent 50-60 DPS on each DRG should net you the kill. Make sure everyone has enough accuracy (~450 for physical, ~515+ for magical).
