So I have beaten Pharos before it was nerfed and after it was nerfed but this last attempt was just bonkers.

(._.)'

Mostly overgeared party couldn't beat 1st boss for almost a full hour. The problem was that even if dps didn't dot the boss and only auto attacked him, when they moved to wolves, my own auto attacks(i84/i86 str/vit WAR) were enough to push into more wolves and then the whm just using cure took too much hate from the wolves. The blm left, and the smn that came in after him left too. We finally beat it with the smn (he left afterwards) by doing a myrmidian princess on the boss. We burned, smn helped heal me, and whm ran around the room dragging all the wolves around.

Then afterwards with 30 mins left to go, I tried to sac pull and it just didn't work, so smn leaves and then we fight our way to the bird, and um? When did they add a third mage crystal(sprite?). There was one at the bottom, one on the stairs and then a third one killed the whm at the top and we don't know where it came from. At least, I mean, I don't remember there ever being a third one.

And something kept killing the monk, I wasn't losing hate from what I could tell, and he said at least twice maybe 3 times he took a hit that did exactly his (max hp + 1) i think.

Luckily a drg from my fc joined and we finished pharos starting from the bird boss to the end in about 13 mins i think

But really? Can i please have more of this, it was a challenge, we felt stupid, we actually had to think, and we (me, whm, monk(first timer)) never gave up.

Sorry for the huge post (o _o)
