Rage over Sophia

[OMGAFLYINGPENGUIN]

Okay, but how do you see where it is without taking your eyes off, by the time I see it its already about to hit.

Just goto the opposite side of the weighing skill with blue. you will sure never go wrong here. Sophia isn't hard by now because the mechanics has already been broken down. For tilt it's simple - like i've mentioned earlier, Even= Heavy, Odd= light. Go to the side that has no blues. That's it, it is that simple. During the tether part nothing dangerous will happen so you have ample time to count the tethers, rotate to screen to see which side has blue lines, and move to the respective side. But just becareful on the first tilt if dps is decent he'll thunder 2 right after the first tilt in the entire encounter.

As for tank busters.. He will use it once before the ADDS phase if dps is not enough (1:00), another at Phase 3 somewhere around 1:24, another at 1:56. Another right before quazar, the rest are all in P5 & 6. If you run enough you'll know by instinct when the TB will come and when to stack. Sophia ex isn't too hard don't worry, even a party with 6k Overall dps can clear before enrage.

I run mine using the RF, with japanese players who I can neither understand nor communicate with. So practice up, get familiar and you'll have no issue.

You don't really need to count so much. With enough practice you'll be able to tell from a glance. As you are learning there are a few things that can help you:

1) You should know when a tilt is coming, before it does position your camera to see one side.
2) Always run away from blue, if you see all red, run towards it.
3) If you see 2 blues, that will always be a large tilt, run as far away from it as you can.
4) Pay attention to the rest of your party, if everyone but you is bunched up in one area, you are probably at the wrong place.

When you're counting, take note which side has more tethers and run to that side.

When you're counting, take note which side has more tethers and run to that side.

Only applicable if one side actually has more tethers, which isn't a given. If both sides have the same amount of tethers, it's necessarily an even number and thus heavy tilt and you have to watch the scales on the side. You only need to watch one side: If you see blue there, you run away from it. If you don't, you run towards it. If you try to check both sides before running, you'll likely be too slow.

Do feel free to take your eyes off the boss for that, there shouldn't be other important mechanics going on at the time.

Can't edit my original post, but the only time you have to look out for blue is when both sides have the same amount of tethers. You actually get a decent amount of time to check and figure out tbh ^^

Link a vid of you doing it I want to see

You should do an event. Setup a time for forum dwellers to queue for uncomplete in raid finder to try and get you your clear. If 3-4 members have already cleared your chances go up drastically. There are allot of nice people here. I would go, just for the fun of it.

Had some farmruns yesterday with a Dragoon who got around 20 misses per fight. We still made it somehow, even with so few fails during this fights.

Still love the fight, no problem to beat her.

I'd go to!! That's a really nice idea.

Two cds?. One should be more than enough even as a drk.
