Brayflox Longstop...

[Onnslaught]

Haven't hit this point in the story yet and really not looking forward to it. I am not a fan of the dungeons anyway, but this one from what I have been reading isn't the most appealing I hear you about RL. Finding even just an hour to play lately is impossible!

If you can't even find an hour to play I suggest you pick up another game. Unless you plan on never doing end game content you will not have enough time to complete anything.

Keyword in my post: LATELY. Sometimes life gets in the way more often than other times (work, vacation, traveling for job stuff, etc.) Maybe those days I craft, or fish, maybe even do side quests around town. Doesn't mean I shouldn't play a game I thoroughly enjoy just because I can't dedicate a lot of time to it certain days. I still accomplished a level 50 job, got pretty far in the story for the time I have been allotted the last 2 months, as well as LS meet times for low level dungeon runs. I am a casual gamer like many here, enjoy the time I have and appreciate what the game offers me and how I spend my time. Thanks for your "suggestion" though.

I've done this dungeon close to 20 times with the duty finder, mostly as a BLM, and have had only one bad run. It's in a really nice sweet spot of people doing it for the first time for the story (which gives everyone bonus EXP for bosses) and people running it repeatedly for gear drops.

Of course, I also have zero obligations outside of work so I just enter the queue when I get home and then do other stuff.

That place is even worse than end-game dungeons because people go back to farm for the Battlemage and Infantry sets. Some tanks farm for the Cavalry set, but tanks get first grabs on all tanking gear, so they don't grind it as much as DD/Healers do. Perpetual shortage of tanks there.

I still remember one of my queue as WHM there lasted for over an hour and then I went to help heal Haukke for a FC buddy.

Add me me and my FC are spamming brayflox to get the battlemage set !


My fc is friendly and active, we help alot of ppl and we are on balmung

Yeah, Brayflow is the first dungeons, where you really need to adapt to boss fights and pay attention, so the difficulty curve starts to get... curvier from this point on.

All Dungeons before that... you could get away with quite some mistakes and still win.

The 1. Boss can be a struggle if your DPS wont kill the adds fast and the aggro management wont work (adds eat healer).

Second Boss - pay attention to your group and get people out of bubbles.

Final Boss is all about Tank and placing the dragon smart so neither group nor dragon stand in poison puddles.


And yeah, the story drags along quite a bit at this point, but it gets better afterwards. So for the story it is worth beating it and getting on. But be prepared to face dungeons that get harder from now.

I hated that point in the story. "No, no, it's okay, a primal is attacking but it'll wait till we get the cheese."

Or your whole guild get murdered but you need to fetch item for a missing memory guy. Talk about the timing

What's a Black Mage to do? Not enough frontliners and medics, it seems.

Feel free to send me a tell in-game/add me to your friends list. I mainly play WHM, but I've also got PLD at 50, so I could possibly tank it for you. I haven't played tank that much though, so there may be a wipe or 2 along the way

Always willing to help with stuff, as long as I'm not pre-occupied with something else already.

Its difficult, it stalled my boyfriend (tank) and I (sch) nearly a week before we decided to attempt it again; (mind we got gear upgrades and class skills during that time). the last boss is the one thats the challenge.

Longstop is tough as a scholar. Most of the boss fights involve poison, but SCH can't remove debuffs until level 40.
