FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn Hotfixes (Jul. 15, 2014)

The following issues have been addressed:

An issue in “The Striking Tree (Hard)” and “The Striking Tree (Extreme)”, wherein the damage taken by pets was abnormally low.

Well then.. It seems like they were paying attention! Haha...

So, SE has spoken.

Great news!

Honestly, considering the timing between when people figured out this method and the fix, I think they knew about it already from internal testing.
Probably didn't consider it so big an issue as to delay the 2.3 release though.

I can see that, I'm just glad it was acknowledged as a serious problem.

It has nothing to do with elemental, unless you are being sarcastic.

It was sarcasm, because logic clearly has no place in a video game... and SE apparently agrees and has already nerfed it

Yeah, well not in this game. I remember the first time I was using fire to fight Firemane in Halatali .... lol

While the method is fun, I've tried it once to see if this was actually a thing, it literally cheeses every single mechanic in this fight and makes it comparable to hard mode. What's the point of having an "extreme mode" if it can just be cheesed to the difficulty of hard mode, it makes no sense and it isn't fun after the first few times, it's just like, wdf SE. It literally allows you to ignore every single mechanic aside from cleanse and rolling thunder, while completely trivializing the later.

Fair enough, I haven't tried it myself. If it makes it as easy as HM then yes it should be nerfed somewhat.
