Entering an empty Steps of Faith

[MirielleLavandre]

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

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.

This has happened to me in in progress dungeons before.

I'm really not sure why people hate this fight as much as they do. if tanks follow the correct strategy, this trial is generally easier than almost any extreme primal is.

Tank takes big adds, holds them at the entrance, as far away from boss as possible.

3 dps focus on boss, 1 healer and 1 dps on cannons, other healer on the tanks.

dps on cannon gets DK, healer gets both snares with sprint.

Speaking from the perspective of someone with over 30 clears of it, Steps of faith is cake. I would rather do steps, than even Garuda EX.

Having done this a couple of time and only successfully running it once, I have never heard or read of this strategy. I like the concept of the battle, one of the more intense battles for sure. I'll have to give this strategy a try next time I run it.

Honestly, I'd still do this fight over TitanEx... Just my opinion though.

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.

I dont understand why SE put something as hard if not harder then a Coils boss for the END.

It's not Coil level difficulty. It just requires communication. Maybe this game isn't for you after all, I would expect more of these types of things in Heavensward to be honest.
