    Best Video Guides?

    Where would i find reliable video guides for some of the dungeons? especially things like Coil? Mr. Happy tends to drag on too much for my liking and I don't feel that i get enough information out of it. Especially when he does a video guide stating "this isn't a group i'd recommend" while he's using that group. I'm looking for video guides that give you the most important points easily explained and uses a typical party setup like you might find with average teams. If you have video sources like this please point me in the right direction.

    I watch Mr. Happy but I use the video for layout and ideas. What's important is knowing what to expect and coming up with a plan that works for your group.

    That is a good question...I have not seen too many myself but Mr. Happy has far been my favorite and I am able to get what I need out of the videos without any problems. I am trying to think of what information you are not getting from his that you would want.
    1. He tells you the mechanics and how to deal with them.
    2. Usually what he personally does.
    3. How to complete.
    He does always make it sound like it is easy and there go you are done and it is not really like that in real life always but to his credit he is usually playing with all AWESOME players in his FC that learn and adapt well with each other.

    Mr happy and sheepheadCG is what I use for preps. Sheepshead uses good editing and he slows down the fight to explain.

    I have not seen Sheephead do many Dungeons though...Coil yes, but not Coil unless they are buried somewhere in his videos...could not find them. But love Sheephead also...along with Dervy but he does not do Dungeon Vid's either.

    I saw a video and I wish i would have saved the link....it wasn't mr happy but he outlined the major points and made sure you saw the most important parts of the fight and fast forwarded through all the long drawn out stuff. I don't know if he had others (i'd assume he might) but it was wonderful. i just feel like as informative as mr happy may be, theres usually a lot of extra i don't need.

    As much as i appreciate the time anyone puts into videos (takes a long time to edit/render for most) i mainly use Mr Happy's however i cringe every time, such long vids for very short fights, i prefer my vids more to the point and just 1 clean run i can watch over and over if need be, Who the hell needs a 25-30 min video for a 4 min fight?

    I personally cringe at his Twintania video, he and his group are very skilled but his method is a death trap for groups new to Twintania. He often makes things way harder than they should be then demonstrates it like it's an effortless thing, while most groups out there are using a different, more consistent method which is the one you should learn first.

    I've seen practice groups that insist on dodging divebombs like his group and it's painful to watch.

    I'd usually tell people to watch Mr.Happy but his new Primal EM guides have quite a few mistakes (especially Titan EM rotations). Apart from that, the rest of them are fine. I also watch MTQCapture but she sees to have only just made the new HM dungeon guides and doesn't even have T5 or any EM Primals.

    Here's a link to a bunch of rotation and DPS numbers I wrote up to try help BLM see they aren't as weak as they might think.

    I suggest Prickly. Funny, informative, but most importantly, short and to the point.
