Doing rank S hunt marks on PS3

[Cosmoswan]

One way is , if you have time to up whm to 50 , even without seeing the boss you can spam medica2, throw a holy or 2 at the place you think the boss is ^^ , use bénédiction and medica 2 again .Be in a full team of course ^^.

The trick to getting credit on a boss is to deal at least a bit of damage to it.

To that end, if you have any ground-targetted or PBAoE attacks - for instance, Holy, Blizzard II, Shadow Flare, Arm of the Destroyer, Flash, Steel Cyclone, Death Blossom, Flaming Arrow... (I assume Dragoon has something they can use too, it's the clast I know the least) - you can cast these where you think the hunt probably is and tag it and get credit. Of course you won't get much, but if you're in a party it should work. I don't think every class has these, but several of them do - something you can cast without a visible target.

The trick to actually getting enough credit is to Flash spam. Or Medica 2 spam. Having DPS class in your team when you are having trouble rendering the S rank mark is problematic because they can't aim, and they can't generate enough aggro.

Upgrade the HD to an SSD and your S ranking hunting problems (along with slow loading into zones) are solved. I recommend not standing in the pack of the horde as the monster can disappear for a moment.

Yep, I always suggest targeting someone you CAN see (that's not a healer) and using a <tt> macro with one of your instant attacks. That way you'll get the requisite one hit in at least. I suggest a macro cause this problem comes up with nearly every hunt. Put it on some out of the way xbar.

Don't you still need to deal some sort of numerical damage? You could spam medica all you want and rip aggro, but you won't get credit if you don't aero the boss. ...At least it didn't for me.
