The problem with allowing Turn 2 Rage strat

[Noahlimits]

I have to admit that I did the rage strat for the first time last night because my group had a monk that just couldn't get the interrupts down. We ended up just doing rage strat to get through it....I feel dirty. i'm shamed!!! /cry.

I actually do feel bad doing it..We ended up doing it with two healers though instead of three. Tank went DPS and me and the other healer felt confident we could handle it...well...I had no clue being my first time but eh, it was easy enough. 3 healers woulda been a snooze-fest.

I think any party that relies on a MNK to silence is doomed for failure in general. It's not that a monk can't do it, but to constantly be in that stance waiting for the high voltage to come will make your DPS really low.

Fair enough but we had a bard as secondary too. I don't know much about the silence mechanics as I don't know the monk class or brd class for that matter. But i'd guess with Monk and Bard we should have been able to handle voltage.

Doesn't change the fact that I seriously feel dirty for doing the boss that way..but....i did get an upgrade sooo...lol. Happy for that!

You had a bard? Then what classes have your tanks been? If one tank was a PLD then you would've been set and done, as Palas can silence, too. We always do this with one BRD and one PLD who alternate on silencing the high voltages.
