T5 trouble

[Mirakell]

Half of my static play on the PS3 - so don't give up!
Was kind of disappointed to see so many people still complaining about the ps3 issues

We use teamspeak when running coil which makes calling out attacks easier, but when running in random groups (as me and my co-healer run PF/DF T5 to try and help others clear), my co-healer (who's on ps3) turns up his sound a little higher to listen for the pings as well as making sure that the focus bar is in eyesight at all times and he's focused on twintania as during divebombs the bar will show up just before she hits.

Practice truly does make better and if your in a static it'll become even easier as you'll learn how everyone plays together ect. Also, personal feeling - if you know your co-healer this can help alot, as you know when/if the other may be struggling ect. Also macro abilites such as virus, eye 4 eye and raise to give off a sound warning so your other healer doesn't overlap the skills with yours ^.^

Once again good lucks

Cleared it all on PS3 so thats not an excuse

-> Tips - it may not improve performace of the game itself but will reduce distraction
- Turn off BGM
- Remove any unnecessary HUD
- Turn off effects
- Turn name tags to minimal
- Turn off media server on PS3 settings (makes a difference for some)

There is only one thing I can give out as an advice
-It is easy to tunnel your vision but please don't. Keep your eyes opened, actively looking for stuffs that you expect it is coming.

Sounds like a connection problem to me, my brother plays on the ps3 and only ever has a problem if our internet is acting up. I would just say keep your wits about you and pair the party list and focus target close together.
T5 requires a lot of attention. my biggest problem was getting caught watching the party list without glancing at my toon. Very easy to get tunnel vision.
Oh and buy a headset doesn\\'t have to be an uber fancy one those noise cues help a lot

one of my Fc member is on PS3 too, it is true that. there is a delay for the symbols for dive bomb/ conflag/ fire ball, you can either switch to wire connection or replace the hard drive to ssd, and hope for the best, or upgrade your system to ps4 or pc. when i used to be on ps3 i had hard time to dodge weight of the land (titan em) and dive bomb, as soon as i upgraded to ps4 i can dodge everything without a problem.

Honestly with echo now if you're having troubles with the symbols and looking at the health bars at the same time... just ignore the health bars. Keep Medica II up and spam Cure on the tank every couple of seconds, he'll be fine and you can focus on the symbols. You can afford to look away for a bit after fireballs to see on whom the conflag target lands.

it does take some practice to get used to T5 as healers, especially for the second set of dive bomb when there are 8 people and 3 snakes on top of each other, it is hard to see the dive bomb symbol, with that being said, if you focus target twin at the beginning of the fight, whenever the twin is coming back down to do the dive bomb, you will see its HP bar reappear, that is the cue for you to move.

i placed focus target bar right next to both tanks HP bar so i can see them all at the same time.

Having to keep your attention on the party list and the fight mechanics at the same is in essence what makes any end game fight difficult for healers. I can't recommend you just "ignore the health bars". There are a few tips that can make being aware of indicators much easier, others have mentioned these already.
Turn down your bgm in settings. While leaving sound effects up.
Turn off party member's battle effects, when everyone is stacked it can distract from the divebomb indicator.
Focus target the boss, and adjust your hud so the ft bar is next to the party list.

Great advice from all of you. Ive done most of these things... turned of bgm, moved party list to eye level next to my toon, focus Twintania at the start. I think the fact that im using the duty finder is a big part of my problem. It seems like there is always 1 or 2 people who are new and dont know what they are doing. Maybe i need to look for a fill-in spot on a static or set up a PF. Titan Ex has been giving me the same problem. People dont k ow the mechanics of the fight and a lack of a tank or a dps can kill a raid if everyone doesnt k ow what they are doing.

With half of you pointing out the ps3 connection being the problem and the other half saying it isnt, I must point out that i have an older ps3. Its a few years old and is slow compared to others. Different games are very laggy while others arent. Im guessing that my ps3 is only part of the problem.
