    Hunt credit needs some work.

    You know there is an issue when you are in a full party and all are fighting from the time the S rank was pulled and the group only gets 5 Allied Seals and 20 Allagan tomestones of mythology. I am hearing this is due to some of the people having formed an alliance so the 8 man groups are getting lowest credit for the fight. I really think these should act more like fates where an individual gets full credit if he or she is participating. It is very frustrating to actually be there for all or most of a boss's health and be constantly attacking and get the lowest possible reward .

    If you have no tanks in tank stance, or WHM spamming Medica 2...you're not going to get a lot of credit on an S.

    SMN and SCH prob have it worst too (bringing in very little aggro), since DoTs don't always stick with too many people.

    DoTs always stick, regardless of whether or not you can see it on the mob's status bar.

    Not that. Sometimes DoTs actually have no effect (as if you were trying to stun a stunned enemy). Can see it esp as a SMN when you try to Fester after using all 3 and seeing them "hit"...but the Fester does heavily reduced (if any) damage.

    Total amount of debuffs on any given enemy caps out at 60, actually. Anything more throws out the old ones.

    OT: More WHMs, more healing, more aggro, more credit. It usually works. (Or more tanks.)

    No credit unless you have the mark. No fighting the other 100 people for credit. Fixed.

    The fact that it's even advised to load up on WHMs and haphazardly spam unnecessary AoE heals solely for the sake of building more hate should already say on its own how broken the system is.

    I agree, but on the other hand, the massive spam of heals means that most people actually survive, compared to GW2 world bosses where 90% of the people were on the ground trying to bandage themselves before they bled out because lolhealing.

    Be glad that there are actually WHMs in your party, because half of the DDs out there are pretty idiotic and dies to the S rank's mechanics. Without WHM spamming Medica II and raising these bumps, where do you get your 50 Allied Seals (or even a consolation 30?)

    Good. Maybe if people actually died these mobs would live longer than 20 seconds.
