Turn 12 Tank DPS

[SirTaint]

you couldve left the brand mark on mt. so when flames of forgiveness is being cast, OT without brand runs to MT with brand then provoke. new MT gets brand. OT wont lose dps coz hes not scared to brand other dps

We just let healers handle Brand the entire fight. Really cleaned up that turn for us. Tanks can go full DPS last phase and ranged DPS don't have to move at all. (your casters will thank you)

There is very little raid damage the last phase, no reason healers shouldn't handle it.

This is exactly what we do and it works awesome - 100% uptime on all players DPSing.

That works if your DPS don't derp all over pinions : D tanks don't take as much damage from it and Flames is a great time to swap. When we switched from healers doing brand to tanks it cleaned the fight up for us - I guess it varies group to group, of course.

And grats : D

We did it to clean up Fountains. We Do:

WAR3,PLD3,NIN2
DRG2,WAR3,PLD3

Ranged DPS and healers just stay way back.

We have MT keep Brand until FoU. Then OT takes it and still does dps standing to the side. We tank swap during Flames of Rebirth. I suppose we could tank swap during either Flames cast, but this worked. The only issue is OT not attacking during the Fountain, but it's not a big deal.

Now I need to remove Defiance after I get out of Fountain. I won't need it until we swap, even with Brand hitting me as OT.

Also, I found Warriors make Revelation last phase easy mode. Vengeance + ToB + IB and SP for all of them in which War is MT.

Last phase in general is a joke. You only see 4 total revelations, maybe 5 if DPS is slow. WAR can pop everything. PLD can sentinel one and HG the other. Healers are really just DPSing with some minor curing needed.

Vengeange + IB is more than sufficient for Rev. Timing wise, if you're eating every other Rev, Vengeance will always be up. IB is easy to get w/ combos or Infuriate.

I just saw some recent Lucrezia numbers for T12 and their PLD put up 380 DPS! That got me interested. So i did some more research and found numbers of his T11 (338) and his T10 at a whopping 431! How is this even possible? I'm happy if i break the 200 mark! He put his warrior to shame who is also no slouch!? This is something i've never seen.

Gear wise he's pretty much i130 with Dread weapon in BiS WAR gear and full slaying accessories. How much VIT would that leave him with? I'm assuming his healers are more than capable healing him with less than 7500 HP using this set?

To the Deeps Heavy PLD's out there, are you guys achieving similar numbers? Is this possible or should we just chalk this up as another JP Button event!? I must learn his ways!

To see his gear check him out on Lodestone

I can get over 350 but only for brief periods in FCoB. They are optimist. Right down to healer dos swaps and perfectly timed CDs to match TA, phase changes etc.

Most of us clear FCoB and are done, they practice it all week trying for speed kills.

Their PLD is full time sword oath and the WAR MTs most of the hits.

I only wish he had a video posted. Sounds insane when u look at the numbers on Paper. WAR i get it but PLD's putting up 400+ is just insane let alone 431. He did mention that 7500HP is what he rolls with in T10 and for T11-T12 he goes with 8500.

Fulltime Sword Oath in T12 sounds pretty nuts too lol My healers start complaining just from me Stance Dancing. Cant imagine taking a Revalation to the face in Sword Oath without some well timed Adlos/Cure2s.

Do u think he also went 30 Attribute points in STR?

Def 30/30 str, every tank should be 30/30 str at this point in the content.

Sword oath in 12 isn't that bad with proper CD rotations. You also have to remember their raid damage is so high they skip a ton of mechanics. They probably see only 3 revelations in the first phase, 3 bennu. This allows you to use big CDs and stay in sword oath.

Its probably something like this: First revelation, WAR eats, he'll still be in defiance due to unchained on the pull. PLD stays in sword oath for the Bennu and uses Rampart. 2nd Revelation PLD uses HG and stays in sword oath. WAR pulls Bennu #2 (defiance down) and pops thrill and conva. Revelation 3 WAR uses HG, PLD takes Bennu with Rampart again.
