Entering an empty Steps of Faith

[JillyBean]

This fight might be considered "easy" by some, and maybe it is. But I think most people could agree that it's not made for the DF. When I get it for Trial Roulette, most of the time I just leave and take my penalty. At times I stay and try to help. This has never worked out. If you want to clear this, you need to get some friends together so you can keep trying until you win. A group of strangers thrown together (for what they are expecting is a 5 min commitment via trial roulette) is not likely to be successful. This particular fight (and some others, for that matter) should not be considered a trial and doesn't belong in Trial Roulette.

I honestly think SE knows this, and that it doesn't really belong in Trials roulette, but I think they put it in there just because they also know it is the only way they could ever get anyone to do this fight again after doing it for the story clear and they know EVERYONE needs it to enter Ishgard. *conspiracy theory*

I understand their desperate move, but I don't think it's working well anyway. People just abandon when they get it. I, for one, have never cleared Steps during a roulette. And I've tried. People are simply going to need friends to complete this. Nothing wrong with that. It's a throwback to XI

This has happened to me in in progress dungeons before.

Even though I've only gone into this fight once for the story, I enjoyed it. Sure there is a lot of chaos and communication is key but it is still doable. If you die you just respawn and sprint back to the battle and continue where you left off at while adjusting to hopefully not repeat what you did that got you killed. If I didn't have other things I'm trying to accomplish before the expansion I'd queue for it more to help others complete the story.

i like this fight reminds of the last fight on monster hunter, where you have to stop lao shan from breaking the last line of defense with a wall of spears, i hope to see more like this instead of tank and spank bosses

If only ppl played monster hunter, these kind of fights wouldn't be hard lol. Though it kinda sucked u could actually fail the quest if ur dps was too high thus stun locking him forever = possibly running out of time before getting to the last area where he becomes killable lol.

Steps of faith should be renamed
Steps of pain.
When vishap steps on u it hurts and it hurts over all when party can't do mechanics.

Its doable, as long as everyone listens and knows what to do...and dont speak for all casuals because Ive beaten it.

I did Steps the first day for my clear, I've done it successfully once as a Trial Roulette, and I've had it fail as a Trial Roulette about 14+ times.

People don't listen, and people go in blind. People who just want to do their roulette, get really frustrated after the first two wipes and will leave. Not to mention that even just attempting it twice takes 20 minutes (not including all the arguing between pulls).

When I did my run of this I joined a group in progress as a tank and was asked to man one of the guns. I died once I think because too many adds got to me before I could burn them down with the cannon and I didn't see the first snare (fortunately the other gunner got to it in time). despite all of this chaos and learning on the fly we still cleared it. I look forward to going back through it again eventually.

there people making this harder than what its needs to be, if the dps stays ahead of the dragon the whole fight while the tank tanks adds under the dragons belly the add will die from the aoe spear when it hits.
