War soled last 5%!

[Pinkie_Pie]

This is the reason why I tell every new player to go marauder/warrior for their first character. WARRIORS ARE A BEAST RAWWWR!

Tanks are the last person standing by a "mechanical" need (1 of healer jobs is to keep them alive so the mob/s don't dmg them & DPS to 0hp) so a Tank being alive last happens more often (cept in derp-tank times dieing to 1-shot mechanics) I mean I almost did what that WAR did as PLD on my 1st time run of Weeping city... with only that fight as my info about boss mechanics (granted my run was from 3% & I died at 1 due to it being my 1st time fighting here so lack of skill with mechanic's killed me)

Finding a WAR user skilled enouf to live & win in that senario is just as awsome as finding a PLD or DRK that can to, there Tanks DEF mitigation & "turtling" is in there job discription FF14 just gave them a way to "heal" in burst's... heck for a Tank doing that is "mentally" like fighting off a trainwreck in slow-mo, a "War of Attrition" if u will (pun intended for OP's case)

Gonna be honest Warrior LB3 should just do mega damage since you basically bring up mountain spikes before you can say Stone 3.

pretty much this. And idk why ppl are still surprised war's can solo bosses under 20%? It's been this way since ARR where you will hear stories from war's solo tanking chimera in cutter's cry. I perosnally have been in this situation many times,

Plus this boss doesn't auto attack a lot since she is always casting something. Impressive, but I think its pretty telling that a WAR is more like a DRK than and actual DRK. Anyone got a vid of a DRK soloing that last 5% of the final boss in weeping?

I've yet to see one.

Wan't there a vid of a WAR soloing her for 15 minutes, about two weeks ago? o.o Fenris something-rather-I-forgot-the-last-name
Everyone was salty/pissy about him wasting time and to just wipe it..... they silenced after 5 mins of the WAR nowhere near being dead and Miss Sparklyhair slowly dying.
He just had to execute the mechanics and rotation flawlessly for 15 mins o_x (I wouldn't have been able to... I'd have slipped up somewhere, after so many repeats... xD; ).

Honestly, it re-kindled my want to re-learn MRD/WAR (had an alt WAR on Balmung, but... haven't played him in almost a year o_o).
I wonder if WAR solos on this fight will become more common (or, lessen when the mechanics become moreso older news than it already is, for some). o_o Seems to be three solo WARs, thus far, on this boss...

It amazes me how people think this is a good thing, this happening means how good designed it was.

[AdventZero]

The only thing I hate about this is I've seen a few WAR's since these "WAR soloed last x%" videos went up suddenly drag the boss to a wall and try to cleave kill as many people as possible so they can get an "epic solo kill" too*. It's like "yes, we see that you're an almighty WAR, now stop being an a55 and do you're damn job!".

*or at least that's what I think their doing, they might really have just messed up. But that fact that I've never seen a PLD or DRK do it, and it's always in the last bit of the fight, leaves me questioning if it was a mistake or not

Edit: changed my wording a little, since it didn't feel I was getting the right massage across before.
