Siren.....

[Linette]

I played this yesterday and I would like to hear some advices from all of you.
I played as a whm and unfortunately we couldn't clear siren. I was been blamed for by a DPS for not healing fast enough and to let my tank die when my mp was still full.
I felt really bad when he said that, but really there was nothing much I could do as during that point of time I was crippled n I couldn't cure/debuff my tank.
During our 2nd attempt we wiped again as our 2 DPSers couldn't escape from her dash, and each time their hp would drop 70%. And whenever the sergeants came out both my tank and I would have to run for our lives.
We did our part by watching youtube to learn about the mechanics before the game and had told them to focus on sergeants first.

On my part, I think maybe it was partly my fault because I couldn't heal fast and to debuff my party fast enough, but is it entirely the healer's fault when the team wipe?
Is it solely a healing race when dpsers can just conveniently blame on the healer when the team wipe without knowing that they are equally important for this boss?

Funny enough, I thought Zu was harder.

first boss was harder than siren, however i would agree with the statement that it would be unlikely to see an item level 48 party clear. but if you are i80+ and couldn't down this dungeon within the time limit then your method of execution leaves much to be desired.

I will second this; we were having trouble then started stunning/interrupting Lunatic Voice (the aoe healing debuff) and she went down. It is a pretty big game changer if you are having trouble.

This ^
Stunning Lunatic Voice (was it voice or song?) made a huge difference in surviving below 50%

The fight itself is simple enough, but it needs everyone to do their roles properly.
Also Esuna/Leeches the Bleed debuff from Song of Torment, it really hurts both tank's HP and healer's MP >.>

Sry to hear that OP, I went for first time yesterday with FC group mashed together in 1m, We kinda just herp-derped through the entire dungeon it was pretty easy, Could see this place getting the speed run treatment of WP and AK, the bosses are very easy, You must have been doing something VERY wrong on the last boss ;P

First time I did it, no one stunned or silenced anything.. Was a nightmare healing... Esuna 90% of the time to have to quickly spam heals to top again. Healing debuff really made things hard.

Haven't tried silences or stuns yet but now that I know I'll be sure to tell tank to do it! Cause he/she has it very easy that whole fight.!

It makes a world of difference. On my third run I explained the fight to the group, and told the tank to stun Lunatic Voice. We never had trouble at all--took her down in one go.

Yeah to the OP you just needed to learn the mechanics properly, firstly to stop charm from happening your healer needs to heal that person to full for it to not take effect. DPS deal with adds avoid the dash move and move to the middle and stun Lunatic voice.

Pretty straight forward if you ask me.

I have cleared this once as a WHM.
We wiped once on Siren as I learnt the mechanics.
2nd try it was incredibly easy.
iLvl~65 average.

Learn to keep Medica II up, esuna primary targets as she group debuffs. Stoneskin is your friend.
The charm debuff can be dispelled by healing someone to 100%, not by maintaining 100%.

Basically regen the tank, enjoy using Medica I & II. Cure II for charm, esuna for debuff.
