My Experience With Alexander Normal Yesterday As A Tank

[Ashelia_Ferron]

And considering all the spoilery crap is in cut scenes...

But no, if you want to caster LB the two bosses on A1, do it when they come down from the jump. They both are RIGHT NEXT to each other until they're repositioned.

You have to time it though. For about 2-3 seconds after landing they are still un-targetable and won't take damage if it hits then.

LB3 has a cast time.

If you start casting it right as they land, you'll hit.

[Malevicton]

If you have lb3 you can hit them when they're spread out. If you have lb1-2 it's easier to just use melee on the one with lower higher health.

Edit: sry for the typo, but cmon my point was obvious

Using melee LB on the one with lower health has resulted in more wipes than any other use of the LB I've seen, including not using it at all. It's better to use it on the one with higher health so you don't insta-enrage the one with 5-10% left.

@OP - it's kind of rude to not watch a video and then expect people to explain mechanics. :/

Went to A2, told them I was new, no respond (was made mostly of frenchies so no surprise), got kicked after 2nd failed attempt, went in again with different DF group, got it down from 1st time.

Just because some people are Frenchies or Japanese or whatever that's not American doesn't make them to automatically shut their mouths.

I've seen a lot of 'Murica that are silent as hell, only to open their mouths to.. *shocks* flame when it's failing. <-- see the trend here?

So you have a biased view, no wonders we have so many interesting encounters in PuGs.. >.<

Glad you were able to meet good peeps that were helpful along the way. Hope you'll do the same for me and every new 'first' when we"ll be joining you for Alexander, one day.

And what makes you think the OP is American.... Not all of us are ignorant and I doubt an American would be called arabian wolf

Not because his character name is Arabian that makes him Arab, else I'd be in a whole new world myself ^^

The majority =/= The entirety.

Would be curious to see who he is now hehehe

It's definitely a much better indication than randomly calling him American without ANY indication that he is, the people calling him an American are definitely showing some sort of American resentment by assuming Americans are the only people who bad mouth other countries and being blinded by it and not even reading content just assuming.

I find the frenchies stereotypical comment highly ignorant, and the ignorance probably went both ways considering they were paired with a guy named "arabian wolf"

If a healer is blamed because they couldn't heal through a nonfatal cleave that should have been avoided in the first place, then I guess they should also be blamed for DPS dying to non-fatal dodgeable AoEs. Positioning is a tank's role. If someone in the group dies due to lack of correct positioning, it is NOT the healer's fault.
