T5 trouble

[Amaya-Asha]

I used to play wireless on my ps3 (as a whm) when I switched to wired big difference. You won't see it so delayed also I turn my music close to off to hear the sound. I know play on ps4 and tried turn5 with it visually its clearer and no delay at all and I'm playing wired. Only just got my ps4 last week.
I will admit that playing on ps3 for a whole year limited my game play and thankfully my fc was willing to work with my limitations to get me trough content. Like doing fights in very unorthodox ways to compensate for my ps3 limitations. Now I'm on ps4 and some fights I will have to relearn to do in the server standard way. You can clear t5-t6 on ps3 but you will need to play wired, HUD layout and name plates off is a must. And if you can't play wired try a wifi booster to get even stronger signal. Good luck

If your signal has to go through a wall definitely get a wired connection. Also try turning off party member effects altogether.

You know you're doing divebombs right when it looks like you're ahead of everyone else running out of the trench.
You can't react to people running, if you are, its too late.

Thanks for all the ideas. It seems a wired connection will be the first thing I try. I guess it's just practice makes perfect after that.

On last page someone suggested using Manawall. While it does prevent the dmg AND knockback (iirc), you can only eat 2 of the dives. Meaning you can't rely on it if you are stacking in the pit with the rest. On my first kill, we had 2 mages on the right side, eating Dives with Manawall if they got targeted.

I main as White Mage and manawall/ward isn't a cross class action. I think it's just a "practice makes perfect" kind of thing. Of course, having a decent group would help.

ah ye just noticed on your profile "Main Class Thaumaturge" and forgot this was healing forums carry on.

The best dps in my static has cleared T9 on a ps3. I originally learned and cleared T5 on ps3. Don't let anyone tell you it's too hard to do on an older console and don't let anyone let them use their console as an excuse either.

:/ It's sort of disappointing to see such able-ism in everyone shouting "ditch ps3 and upgrade", as if everyone can afford to spontaneously leave home and come back with a PS4 or high-end PC. I didn't upgrade from PS3 til last week and yes, everything has run as a smooth dream...but I never actually had issues with content on the PS3 outside of Odin and Behemoth. Every fight in the game ran totally fine on the PS3, despite how limiting it seems to be for some. There are probs other factors to consider alongside hardware.

Sadly, I have nothing to suggest, OP, but I felt like I had to speak up about the blatant able-ism. I know you can get through T5 on the PS3.

Try getting a SSD for your ps3 if that's an option, it helped a friend with titan hm in 2.0.

Keep trying, if anyone tells you it's impossible on PS3 don't listen you do not need a PC/PS4 nor do you need an SSD in order to clear T5. I main WHM and i cleared T1-T8 on a phat 60gb PS3 over a wi-fi connection so i know it's doable.

There are 2 things you can do that actually help a lot:
1) Turn off all battle effects because they are distracting and because they can delay the divebomb markers/sound so turn off all of em, it sucks i know but i had to do it.
2) You are a WHM you don't need TP so use sprint to dodge divebombs, if you use sprint at the right time it can last you long enough to dodge all 3 divebombs you just gotta get used to it.

As you just said a couple posts ago "practice makes perfect" so keep at it and you will beat T5 in no time.
