    Battle in the big keep

    So i noticed tht u can cheese the 2nd part of fight so hard and literally break the mechaincs by simply not freeing ur healers during enchained. Most healers can last about 30 secs- 1 minute from enchained dots.
    While healers are chained gilgamesh will only auto attack thus allowing tanks to go into dps mode.
    Once healer dies other healer revives them. Rinse and repeat and u probably in the process will have skipped the dragon adds, a bunch of aoes. Cuz all it should take is 2 healer enchains before limit breaking gilgamesh lol.
    Also i believe that gilgamesh only enchains the healer with the higher hp. Ran it a few times and noticed only i got enchained, even when i have weakness cuz my hp is 7.5k / 6.7k or so.

    Im sure ppl found this out already but i just wanted to say hey the more you know! Also it'll help ease up the bartz card grind right?

    You actually have me interested in trying this out, the last time I ran this fight we did it through all the mechanics.

    Try it lol and ask ur healers if they got tank accessories to increase their hp threshold = more time for dps to dmg.

    The extra HP is a double edged sword as your regen and reresh is weaker and i think you actually last less time than if you were not wearing them.

    I don't really see this having any advantages other than maybe finishing the fight a few seconds faster.

    Saves about 3 minutes, which is a lot if you're farming it.

    Keeping one tether up in first phase to prevent birds, and ignoring chains in second to skip adds completely saves a ton of time.

    DS-Regen/Medica2 on chain is all you need since it'll counter the dot until the regen wears off. Nothing else helps since Adlo/Stoneskin gets chewed through first. One healer is guaranteed to die anyhow with current DPS output so it's no real big deal trying to prolong the chain as long as possible.

    Nah the dots ramp up in damage i believe in every few ticks or so.
    Kinda can't tell at beginning cuz the stoneskin blocks quite a lot therefore making it appear as 0.
    And i have noticed that the stoneskin will wear off before ur medica 2/ regen tick wears off if you cast right before enchain with swiftcast medica 2 -> regen given the fact that u also used divine seal beforehand.
