Is Quake from Archeron bypassing Succor's shields for anyone?

Well this is where the ideal setup if a SCH + WHM comes in. Have the SCH go heals on the Tank and the WHM can heal up the raid, as it utilizes their design better.

Plus even if it doesn't mitigate that attack, it at least mitigates the following attack.

The thing about CT is that even one WHM makes the whole thing a joke, let alone WHM/WHM. Regen/Medica II, proceed to ignore raid for a minute.

Are you all 100% sure it isn't just the sheer amount of stuff going on in the field causing the 'barrior buff falls but the icon fails to vanish' error?

I know from experience that Quake III will do upwards of 2500 to a Dragoon set up in full Myth gear.

It definitely goes through the shield. Easy way to check is to get hit by any of his other attacks immediately after and the shield will fall (along with mitigated damage).

did it bypass sacred soil too?
or since it bypass succor shield i feel like it by pass sacred soil too, no difference if i use sacred soil or not
the only way is to up whispering dawn and covenant before aoe happens

I think Quake III just deals damage as a percentage of your max HP and ignores shields like Stoneskin and Succor. It's only a theory, but it does seem to hit high HP jobs like DRG and tanks harder than it does mage jobs.

I'm pretty sure it just hits for a flat number, like all the other bypassing AoEs do. Skeletons on Bone Dragon do 1500 damage when they go boom; think Quake 3 does about 2.5K-3K damage (I've seen rezed casters get one-shotted by it before), and Quake does something like 1K damage.

Had to solo-heal this fight as a SCH last night (our WHM derped or something and was locked-out) and I just eventually threw a Succor or two at the party and let Eos deal with everyone (had MT too...so yeah, wasn't going to waste time spamming Succor and letting him die) Only lost our BLM because people forgot about the Claws...
