Tankin baby, brayflox

[Menae]

My fastest speed run (first two bosses only) was 5:12 from instance start to robot dead. Went War/Whm/Brd/Blm. Pull to base of ramp, holy/flare/whatever bards do, benediction the tank when he needs a heal, continue damage. Once everything is dead, grab the key, pull everything to first boss room and lock it all out. Dps the boss as quickly as possible, stopping to heal when needed (my best run needed only 2x Med 2 and 2x Regen for first boss). After boss, pull next three groups, gather them, zerg them down. For the second boss, dps like mad; we only needed 1x med 2+ Cure 2+regen.

It will get faster as folks gear up; the biggest thing is knowing when to bail out for your healer and when to use externals. I used E4E on trash pulls and virus on bosses.

Actually just did this I had no idea you could lock the mob out like that. We did 4 runs in like 30 min. I thought speed run just meant go fast, wish I had known that all those times doing wp

In a true Brayflox SR, you'll want war, blm, blm, sch. If the healer is good and blm know how to dps properly you should be able to pull all mobs from start to first boss in a single pull. The next pull will grab ALL the goblin guards ignoring the raptors (ie., all the mobs to the second boss). Third pull will be to the gated door. 4th pull will be to the last boss. If you take more than 4 pulls its not ideal.

P.S. A normal non-SR version of brayflox with randoms typically will take me 16-18 minutes.

WHM can heal the tank a lot harder than SCH thus you can pull bigger. If the tank knows how to pull and doesn't just keep running into the next pack... It's like so many of them don't understand that they get hurt badly during their large pulls.

My FC and I have done a combination of different speed run tactics for this. Our favourite so far is Warrior, Black Mage, Black Mage, Scholar. I pop Foresight for each pull while running > Vengeance when gathering them all together > Overpower > Bloodbath > Overpower > Berserk > Overpower > Internal Release > Overpower > Infuriate > Overpower > Steel Cyclone > Then more Overpower spam until Pacification or running out of TP, and all mobs should be dead.

But Paladin, Black Mage, Bard, White Mage is also pretty fast for the first pull. Paladin can Hallowed Ground and spam Flash and Circle of Scorn when its up, while White Mage can spam Holy, along with Black Mage triple Flares!

Instead of Steel Cyclone try doing Infuriate > (that skill that gives you normal dmg) > Berserk > more over power spam.

I prefer SCH over WHM.

SCH can easily heal max pulls in Bray and full time Cleric on boss w/ Fey buffs. Too nice to pass up for me.

Yeah, I've tried using Unchained a couple of times, but the mobs are usually dead before you get the full effect, and with Berserk and Internal Release both up, I normally see a lot of big numbers (and nice self heals from Bloodbath) from the Steel Cyclone

1. WAR /BLM /BLM /SCH

Run:

• first area: pull all mobs up to the first key, or if possible with all CD's from WAR to the first closed door.
• boss: ignore adds, dmg the boss
• sec. area: pull all mobs to end of this area, lb them
• sec. boss: DMG!!!!!
• third area: same like sec. area, pull all mobs, and maybe! LB them (if possible)
• last boss: DMG

time: under 15min

I still get us killed but i try and hit foresight while running then bloodbath on last pull then vengeance, overpower, convalescence, overpower, berserk, overpower, unchained. Usually healer just saves my ass lol but they're more experienced so idc lol started using potions of vit too if healers havin trouble. Some groups they kill everything before you can even buff, others not so much. Like locking the monsters out a lot

Save Unchained for bosses, more aggro/more deeps.

Though, just to clarify, my preferred method is: Bloodbath + Vengeance while running > Infuriate when they're getting close enough > Steel Cyclone > Berserk > OP Spam.

If Vengeance isn't up I'll combine Thrill and Conv, Foresight whenever Vengeance or those two fall off.
