Order of the Blue Garter Twintania Down (No Exploits)

[Gamemako]

So the main tank standing in the Conflag circle, getting stunned, and causing the boss to stand there and not attack isn't glitching the fight? A boss standing there trying to attack an unattackable player seems kinda like something that isn't working as intended to me...

Interesting. That definitely seems to be the case. Trivial or no, it's a little silly to see that all strategies for that portion rely on exploiting bugs.

...the way to avoid Divebombs is probably not ment to be done like that...

Undoubtedly not intended. It's not a glitch, though, just a clever use of coordination. Players finding unintended strategies is par for the course for video games in general. Yoshi-P already admitted that PLD CDs were being used in unintended ways to clear content.

I love how it is like a dance when they are in synch together with their twister moves. Very hypnotizing. Speaking of which, is that the original music for the content or is it put with the video?

thanx

Congrats!

So am I to understand the the Twister just auto kills whoever it happens to target? If so, I would assume it would never target the Main Tank similar to Titan's Goal ability. Would this assumption be correct?

no, the assumption is incorrect. twister can target anyone, it targets the tank in the video.

however, twister is avoidable...barely. in the video, the scholar that the point of view is coming from dodges most of the time, and everyone else dodged the mechanic always.

Congrats! was it a conscious decision at the start of coil to put all the Allagan gear on the main tank? looking at the lodestone, the off tank has almost entirely crafted gear.

I firmly believe that the clockwise movement to avoid tornadoes in Garuda is a hint to understand this :P

Also the Clockwork enemies in T3 as well :P

I noticed in the video that the Dreadknight mechanic bugged out for you guys as well? Have you found any common reason for it? We haven't been able to replicate it consistently, but it just seems to often break after the first one.

We have been trying to avoid this, but I imagine you just gave up on them too?

Does everything that allows you to avoid damage have to be a bug or an exploit? In the same way you could say that running into conflags to avoid fireball damage is the same thing.

Running into conflags makes you essentially invincible for the duration it's up, while not allowing you to take any actions, why shouldn't the tank use this to give the healers a short break and save some MP?

The off-tank looks like he's geared much more for DPS than for straight tanking, which I guess is the intention.

While placing anyone in a conflag making them invincible may seem like an exploit, the consequences of not defeating the conflagration in time will kill everyone in side of it thus creating a risk/reward mechanic. If the conflag bursts with your tank inside you're essentially going to wipe. I'm not SE and this is just my opinion. If you place your tank in the conflag and then sleep it I would consider that an exploit.

Congratulations to all of the members of BG.
