Things that need to change for the better

Yeah, but I bet it doesn't suck as much as being a baddie in denial.

So, Meowy, what was your party when you beat the Ogre?

We haven't beat it yet. We spent the last 2 days perfecting our strategy, which we're proud to say is perfect now. Would have won on our last run yesterday if it wasn't for a stray elbow drop on a mage and a missed cure on the tank, right as we were running uphill from the ghost teleport. Tank died shortly after reaching the top, which lead to a wipe and we called it for the day. Ogre was around 35%

Our party setup was GLD THM CON CON PUG LNC ARC ARC if I remember correctly. Those were the only 2 deaths the entire fight and there was no downtime for anyone, constant damage from everyone without a single inferno drop going off (all stunned.) I think the elbow drop might have been the only move that hit someone other than our tank, but don't remember clearly.

The fight is hard, and even the slightest mistake can screw it up. We are however confident that we will complete it today, and I will see if we can do a run without any archers. Will post picks if we do, to show that it is possible with only Melee DD.

I'm actually excited to get to 45 to do it >.< First time in my entire time playing.

Also I want to see the other dungeons they have planned!

Yea it's really that good. If you liked CoP from XI (dunno if you played) you will enjoy this. For the first time in XIV's life, fights require real strategy and cooperation. Can't wait to see what's waiting for us in future patches.

No, never got far in XI :P The economy + way spells were learned just totally turned me off that game.

But damn, hope they continue like this! GO GO YOSHI-P!

You shouldn't be surprised to see a Cure III steal hate from the tank at the beginning of a fight, that's actually normal in every MMO including FFXI. If Cures generate so much enmity how about telling your tank to equip them?

Exactly. Gotta get used to it anyway, since as soon as jobs get implemented Paladins will be the main tank
