WHM > T13 Questions

[Invictus919]

I main WHM this fight and we are currently into phase 3 making good progress. I can tell you what we do that allows us to consistently see phase 3. I am i125, I have my Zodiac i125, Cure 1 hits for 1500. It is key your tank rotates good cooldowns during this, our paladin is our MT and is great at using stoneskin on himself.

P1: My goal here is to never use cure 2 to conserve mana. Our scholar primarily dps's here. Aids me during the triple flare breath, earth shaker, and sacred soil during megaflare.

We follow Solitude's positioning guide and strat. I encourage you to look that up.

To start out, I always have regen on the tank. Every megaflare I medica 2 if divine seal is available I use it here. I let that tick and heal everyone up. I cure 1 the tank, regen, head back to my spot which is just to the right of Bahamut facing him. The SCH stands to the left facing him, both of us near the back. Flatten comes, our paladin stoneskins himself, I time a cure 1 to land right as it goes off, then start spamming cure 1 for the triple flare breath, regen at the end of the last one. After the 3breaths, Earthshaker is coming. Two people get marked, one goes to the right the other to the left. Since I am standing at the right, I heal that one. As they are running to drop their fire circles, I throw a regen on them and Cure 1, twice. Let the regen heal them the rest of the way and immediately cure 1 the tank for the upcoming flarebreath, regen the tank and get ready for megaflare again, rinse and repeat. We typically get 2-3 flattens and I go into P2 with near full mana. Note if the OT gets earthshaker, I just throw a regen on him and let him take the damage like a boss. We use cover on our monk if he gets it, the rest of our dps is ranged.

Gigaflare. I use shroud everytime it is up and don't save it for aggro reduction unless it is conveinent. Our OT is a warrior. Usually what ends up happening is that last megaflare, I already had a medica 2 rolling and it has about 10 seconds left on it as we transition from Giga into phase 2. I let this tick after the gigaflare and hold on AoE heals until the the add is dead, eye for an eye on the OT, virus on the add, regen on the tanks, and Cure 1/2 on the OT until the add is dead, sch heals MT during this time. Medica 2 in the center, orb management and MT heals, sch dps's. Go into Megaflare, I medica 2, everyone stacks, I cure 3 for rage, let that medica roll, OT gets add, shroud happens to be up for us then, I use it here. Same thing as before. Last megaflare and add for us, I do the same process, this time my OT uses a few more CD's to include beserk to make sure he has aggro here. Kill that add, megaflare, rage, stack in the center find Bahamut, while cure 3 drops on everyone. Sprint run from DB.

Phase 3. I solo heal this up to the Sin. We are still working on the add to DB transition.

I hope this helps. Everyone should have 6.2k hp going into this fight in my opinion. This allows anyone to live with two orb stacks during the rage. As a whm, I get this from having my zodiac, chest/legs i130. My head, belt, and boots are i120, right side is i130 other than one of my rings. I use the triple cream coffee HQ to get as much vit as I can. Currently I am at 6250 hp and 5400 mana buffed. I have the lowest hp in our group. We do have a monk and warrior so this does help with the outgoing damage. I never need ballad if everyone plays correctly and executes mechanics appropriately.
