Odin and the dps check

[Yumi_umi]

I know its doable in df etc but i kinda wonder if the fight is a bit harder than the i95 implies as it'd be on par with shiva ex and the like.
The 2 tank method makes it a bit tougher i guess due to its strict dps check. Like i'm sure u all had that butt clenching moment when he started casting shin zantetsuken and everyone was like
"Burnnnnnnnn"
"Lbbbbbbb"
"Gogogogoo"
Then to either just win with a sec to spare or to fail at 1% hp.
I know it'll be really easy after time passes but maybe they should make it a higher ilvl as its not even extreme mode.
Also y does se have to make it healer intensive lol, it's like the siren fight except ur fighting ads at the same time.

I basically do consider him Odin Extreme at this point (even though the Auto Translate is "Urth's Fount (Hard)"). Yes, mechanically he's super simple to learn - but from the couple groups I've been able to get together and attempt it with, he requires a lot more than i95 gear to meet the DPS/healer checks involved.

Though I bloody loved the fight but I think I'd rather heal second coil because Einherjar or the Slow AoE straight into his tank buster is terrifying.

Let's be honest here. It's not the fault of the gear.

I hope I speak for all healers when I say, BRING IT ON SE.

I love intensive healing fights, my god the adrenaline rush...SUCCOR, ALDO, PHYSICK SPAM, ON NO ITS CASTING SOMETHING VIRUS VIRUS VIRUS , POPS SACRED SOIL *INCOMING<-----P4 T12 lol ......I love fights like this lol.

As a healer I hate standing around and doing the casual. I love fights that require me to be much more and on top of my game and have a true knack for the job.... Also as a SCH I tend to make the fight more intensive as 9/10 I'm in cleric more than anything other than T13 lol .....

unless they changed the way they're playing, you're talking to someone who is playing with full tanking jewelry as a WHM. that may be the main reason they find it heal intensive

Yumi's kinda known for it.

That said though? With two actually geared i105 healers, we had an absolute hell of a time keeping up with the damage in that fight. Sometimes it's fine - and then Einherjar -> Gungnir -> Hall of Stone -> Tank Buster and it's like "welp, gg guys" because you were so busy keeping the party off of death's doorstop while trying not to get petrified that the tank has suddenly exploded. Odin's randomized patterns might be super simple, but the damage going out can be absolutely massive when he wants.

I mean I enjoy it but holy hell.

there was a famous thread where Yumi got bashed for that in 2.1's early days iirc ^^ Talking about running T1/T2 and Pharos sirius (back when people were complaining it was too hard). It has become some sort of running gag now, just like some other famous figures on the forums

Intensive fights are good ^^

One can only hope they won't become total faceroll when people get used to mechanics though

No, not for me. I stopped healing dungeons at all after I participated in Brayflox HM speedrun...

Yeah thats probably because as a scholar you can move while casting most your abilities. :P
Moving out of aoes is one thing, moving out of multiple aoes placed by your party, while also healing; not so funny.

I honestly don't see the DPS issue. My runs, the healers have been EXTREMELY abhorrent. Dodging mechanics is hard apparently. Once we got to Shin-Zantetsuken, it was LB, and zerg. It was a little anxious seeing the bar fill, but my group could have easily tried harder at the final push had we known that was a thing. (all were new. first attempt cleared)

Well your first time in a duty it definately is. Unlike dps you also have to heal you know?
