Odin Battle

[Spyrit]

Something like a burning circle fight that required a pop item or seals for something like KSNM?

So take away the only huge server wide battle we have? No thanks I'll have to pass. I want more open world content not take fights away from it....

They should involve the FATE with a proper Primal battle with Odin, similar thing for Behemoth; FATE gets beaten on your server, for the next X hours an instance opens up which requires 8 people to enter where you challenge them proper.

Odin FATE also needs to have no level cap. I think he stopped leveling around 60? Either way, with i100 he became pretty pathetic and the idea of "he gets stronger every time you beat him" vanished a long time ago. Behemoth is sad as well, but they never sold him as something that would become stronger over time, so whatever.

I kinda have to laugh at all the people who are saying Odin is so trivial by this point. Maybe there's very strong differences in player bases for my server and others, but his fight still isn't any small matter from what I can see. On PS3 and Shiva, I HAVE to have all effects turned off, or my PS3 would likely never show anything to begin with. Couple that with everyone converging towards him at once, and you've got a strong delay and lag off the bat. Then, you have the matter that you likely won't see most of his attacks or know what half of them do.



Hall of Stone and Hall of Lead are two of his attacks that are easy to understand. One can petrify and give you vulnerability up for about 14 seconds I think, one gives a very strong 30 second Slow. After that, you have Darksteel Reins, Einherjar, the Gungnir spears, and his normal attacks and cleaves plus others, because I still can't find info online for any of his attacks. I got hit for 25,000 on my BLM a few weeks ago, strongest amount of damage I've ever seen, that beats most LB3s by a Landslide(pun intended). He WILL kill you, most tanks can barely hold him for 15 seconds, and that's sometimes not counting when your healers can actually see you. Then he hits hard and drops everyone like flies most of the time because of delays and too many people. I always see mounds of bodies after each time he appears on Shiva, healers have a lot of work to do. Even if you're in full High Allagan, he can still kill you fairly easily since his normal attacks give Physical Vulnerability. Longest I've survived was 3 stacks with a 91 WAR, happens in a flash most often as well. If he has your targeted regardless of what class you are, he's going to cut off your head and **** down your neck.

Yeah, maybe "everyone get in groups of 8, use LB on his last 5% or so, and avoid AoEs" makes it slightly more simple, but people wouldn't be able to still so easily die to him if he was really easy. Show me one server that has not one person die during a FATE of him, I welcome seeing that. At this point even with item level 110 and such gear, it's not like it's physically building your character to have strength or abilities on tier of an actual monster for instance at that level, it's just a random number to denote a tier of gear. You can hit harder and have more HP, but he can still cleave your ass in half for a couple thousand willy-nilly.
