Gath wonders....

[TheFatHousecat]

Are we thinking of the same Darkhold?

Run past stuff,
kill a fish for a chest,
run past stuff,
hit a few circle things,
run past stuff,
*everything blurs togeather untill Ogre*
Kill miniboss while dodging ghosty death,
R U N P A S T S T U F F,
Hit the Garlean room if anyone needs it,
run past stuff,
*another blur*
Kill Batral.

I liked DH too, but it's still easy, and not really a great design for a dungeon.

Your whining is priceless...FOR A GOOD LAUGH.

I agree as a Vet XI player Ifrit and Moogle is designed better than any boss XI ever had all of them was just tank and spank with no real strat. Throw DD's and cure's @ it.

Time your stuns perfectly.

Don't run out of MP.

Use your 2hrs in dire situations.

Lose exp if you mess up.

^Things we don't need to worry about in XIV that made it challenging. Not saying that XIV doesn't make up for them (or that they would solve anything in XIV), but XI wasn't as spank-and-tank as you make it seem.

Chainspell Stun.

If that fails

Primeval Brew.



Your analogy is bad to be honest

Some bosses began to resist stun more and more over time.

Primeval Brew.

Not everyone played in the easymode that was post-abyssea XI.

And seriously even if you are correct that XI was too easy, what's with the "XI was bad, XIV should be just as bad!" mentality?

The thing is with XI You could use the same strat on 90% of the bosses in the game Which was Tank and spank. I know this is fact cause i tanked damn near every boss in XI cause i had that Aegis. Only a few boss fights come to mind where you had to do some slightly different stuff even then it was still mostly tank and spank.

Most of the time ppl fail boss fights on new mobs in xi is cause of mobs like Cerb who used Gates of Hades @ 50% and no one was expecting that. Then after ppl learned to stun it fight was a walk in the park.

On Ifrit: still haven't won, bad network latency prevents me from avoiding floor plumes 70% of the time unless I'm already running when they load under me.

Also @ this comment I'm starting to call bs on the lag thing killing ppl 90% of the time , I have done this fight from ppl all over and when they fuck up they always blame lag cause its the easy way out. Countless times have i seen ppl using an ws or casting a spell, and then get blown up by eruption then immediately say it was lags fault. In fact the first time i ever got an 12 win streak on Ifrit was with an EU group who asked me to join cause i was afkish @ ifrit, and most of the time we had 0 deaths in the fight.

I'm not gonna say the lag isn't there, but it isn't stopping anyone from dodging eruptions.
