Stun it

I've noticed this myself. Final sting does less damage if the bee has more HP. And more damage when near death.

That said...

DO NOT SPOIL YOUR DPS MEMBERS
It's probably true you can just keep the bees alive and have them do a weak final sting. But you will only be making the dps lazy and keep on their mentality off. "The tank and healer need to do their jobs!!!"

They need to learn how to be attentive and quick on their feet.
They need to learn how to dish out optimal damage in a short time
They need to learn that future fights are not only reliant on tank+healer (*pointing at primal hard modes and binding coil of bahamut*)

Are you sure about this? Whenever I've had a group accidently pull the two bees after the first boss the second bee always gets their final sting off and one shots the tank. Virus seems to help mitigate the damage enough to keep the tank alive.

lol the tank can stun the bee preventing it from using Final Sting. But it should not come down to that point as they should be burned down quickly.

Why do people keep saying this? Have the bees changed? Stunning only buys you a few seconds as the bees chain cast sting after a certain time.

Or you can use a summoner with swift cast. Use Titan egi. When it gets blown up swift summon a new Titan

If not changed bee does 100% dmg of the max HP the target has. If the target is healed and shielded you survive, if not you die...

And bees casting the final sting after they started until killed or excuted the skill, a stun can only buy you a few seconds more. If 100% or 10% HP dont seems to make a difference from my expierience.

There is something to effect the amount, but the only times ive been able to spot the difference, was because of parry/block/stoneskin.

I've had 2k bee stings from full health bees, along with low health bees.
I've had 1k stings from both.

I've managed to survive both types on all 3 roles.

In the end, its better to DPS them down, and have DPS learn their roles/rotations. It's not like the majority aren't already lazy, too lazy not to AoE sleeping mobs, too lazy to follow kill order, too lazy to burn down adds, etc.

Unless there's something signifigantly different about the bees that spawn during terataur or they changed something in the last couple of months, the bees used to spam final sting continously until killed. with the tiles and doom there's enough for most people to deal with without letting the bees hang around. I would just kill them quick.

Full hp + stone skin allows you to survive final sting????

As a healer I have a hard time deciding whether to heal or dps on these kind of mobs.
