Question on group dynamics in Qarn

[Rivienne]

So I have had far more failed attempts at Qarn than any other dungeon, and I am trying to work out why. I know I am part of the problem in some groups, but not others, but that isn't the real question.

Why does it seem like certain job combinations are so incapable of beating different bosses in this dungeon?

I ran one group: WAR, BRD, SMN, who spent most of the time on the Teratotaur. No problems with trash, no problems with golem, never made it to the final boss because we ran out of time.

Another group I ran: PLD, SMN, BLM had no problems with Teratotaur, no problems with most trash but had a few ko's to the bees. But never made it past the golem, constant wipes, take out the soulstone just to have another spawn immediately before any real damage could be done to the golem itself.

One group: WAR, MNK, MNK had roughly equal difficulties with each boss, one wipe first(my fault), two wipes second (my fault), 2 wipes last (and both on me).

There were a few others that I don't recall as well, but it seemed the same, different groups, faired very differently with each boss. Only the WAR/MNK/MNK could I say should have had no problems and what ones there were, were on me, not the overall group.

I am wondering if it relates to damage output, speed, and how much damage is taken by each class, but I am wondering if someone else can better help explain it to me.

How much of this is the dungeon, how much the jobs, and how much strategy? I would think that if you could take the right approach, any group should be able to do it, but perhaps the strategy needs to be tailored to the specific weaknesses and strengths of each job? Anyway, I could keep going, but just wondering if others could help shed some light on this.
