    Are you a White Mage? Use Holy in the middle to push all the bombs at once and then move to the side and use Swifcast Holy to push them again. Then you can use Aero 2 and auto attack(!) to push the rest away.

    Anyway, auto attack does increse the amount of bombs you can push. But no idea if it is enough to push enough of them away.

    I always do the command missions as a healer, I'm going to get aggro regardless so I might as well be able to heal it.

    Because the healer AI is terrible.

    Veteran healers don't care if we need to heal, but right now we don't. We want interesting things to do during the downtime other than a 30s dot and a single filler spell that hasn't changed from lvl 4 to lvl 90.
    Dead DPS do no DPS. Raised DPS do 25/50% lower DPS. Do the mechanics and don't stand in bad stuff.
    Other games expect basic competence, FFXIV is pleasantly surprised by it. Other games have toxic elitism. FFXIV has toxic casualism.[/LIST]

    Fix command missions for squadrons. Either make the A.I. Intelligent enough to destroy bombs, and spears, or nerf the content. It is not designed for single player.
    Wait till you try the higher level ones like the Vault (at the end section)... your patience with the squadron will be sorely tested unless you go as tank.

    Nope, I'd rather have better AI, but really the solution to just about everything with the squad is to actually tell the squad what target to attack, that includes the bombs in Brayflox HM. If you just need to clear it, go as healer and use holy.

    Also, can our Squadron members please have Soul Crystals already? It was cute for ARR stuff, but it's getting silly now that we're getting Heavensward dungeons.

    Are we going to be in Ala Mhigo in the future with Squadron members missing 40 levels worth of skills?

    Headed into Brayflox HM last night. Gobmachine's bombs did present a bit of an issue for me, but I did clear it on my third try. My issue was I kept trying to clear a circular safe zone like what regular groups do when they do this instance. This is a bad strategy considering I am three players short who are aware of what's going on. It does help to keep the squad engaged as they will go after random bombs, and the more punted away, the better your chance for survival.

    What I noticed is that though quick, the bombs drop and explode in three waves. I noticed that by focusing on punting away the same bombs multiple times instead of multiple bombs once, it allowed for more safe space to stand when the sequential AoEs go off. Taking a job with a solid AoE skill is definitely helpful here. I used Miasma II on my SCH.

    Yeah, that was very rough trying to do it as an ast...

    I eventually ended up focusing on clearing out a section on the outside of the arena, and trying to avoid getting run over.

    Since I couldn't clear out enough of the center to make it safe.

    They would never get me out of them if they did that. I adored the Gambit system. I spent hours setting my crew up and I loved the tactics and strategy you had to employ.
