I'm sorry, but the 99 Goblin video (the only one I watched) is nothing short of embarrassing based on all the /brag in this thread.
In the first 30 seconds, here are the things you did wrong:
- Used Tempered Will (completely useless ability, takes up AP, your actions should be full without this)
- Used Sentinel a whopping 9 seconds before you pulled, leaving 1 hit worth of it to block actual attacks
- Pulled. You shouldn't be the one pulling. The real kicker is that you pulled with Provoke. If you guys are so awesome at strategy in this game, you would know that the first action against a mob generates 0 enmity, and the next action anyone does will pull hate if you're not doing more "hateful" things than they are. tl;dr an Archer's buffed multishot (with Stoneskin up) should've nailed it first, then you provoke. Doing so puts you above them in hate, and makes everyone that was below the Archer miles behind you in hate for the remainder of the fight. In this video, you lose hate very shortly after the pull because you didn't follow that rule.
That was all in the first 30 seconds.
The main other problem with this (and surely the reason why it took 8 of your 7 mins to kill it) is the lack of DoT, which in your above post you claim just isn't possible with the healers always needing to heal.
Wrong.
In a 3 man group, we were able to keep up Poison, Bio, Dia at nearly all times without much trouble, and the entire fight on 95~99 Gobs should really take no more than 3~4 min. MAX with >3 people<
It took you 5 minutes with 8 people.
So much wrong, yet so much brag.
