Level 50 Dungeon Level Syncs

[Ashkendor]

if pharos got a realistic sync tanks would actually have to not let wolves rape the healer
and actually pop a cooldown
and dodge

and clearly that's just too hard for a damn lot of them

What happened in that video had nothing to do with the tank and everything to do with the DPS. They were burning the boss and completely ignoring the adds, which is a huge no-no in that fight. With how overpowered we are for the dungeon at this point, burning the boss down just makes adds spawn FAST until it gets to the point where you're overwhelmed, you get loaded with stacks, and you end up getting one shotted by the explosion. Running around near the tank and getting them hit with additional stacks was a bad judgement call, too.

That video you linked showcases the DPS ignoring the mechanics more than the tank.

Yup. DPS should be on those adds ASAP. When I tank this, I hit whatever adds I can with shield lob, but I'm not dragging that boss around and picking up more stacks myself. As DPS, I burn the adds as soon as they spawn. The two white mages I usually run with are able to handle adds on their own if all else fails (i.e. bad DF DPS ignoring them like in the video). Swiftcast Holy is pretty damn powerful considering our current item levels.
