really devs, really?

Possible the fight bugged out like how Will of the Moon often did when that MSQ first came out, where the game actively prevents the enemy from dying before it executes a certain mechanic. Problem with that fight was that sometimes he would just never do that mechanic, so you were left with a boss that couldn't be killed and all you could do was let yourself die or let the timer run out. I had that happen to me three times in a row and wasn't able to beat it until the fourth go.

Didn't have any such issue with this one though, but if he survived several gcds at "0.1% hp" and an empty hp bar without actually dying, chances are something like this happened to you.

Once had a LotA run where Behemoth managed to cast Meteor as he died.

Turns out, all the rocks immediately despawn after his health runs out. So. With the cast complete and the spell going off, while all the rocks despawned....

Yeah. Complete alliance wipe, despite the boss being dead. Treasure boxes spawning and everything. Pretty funny.

This probably doesn't relate to your own situation very well. But, point is, sometimes a cast can still manage to hit as an enemy dies. Computers aren't perfect.

By the time you are participating into this thread, you would finish this fight like 5 times already. :x

You could try learning how to play the game then you wouldn't have to struggle with DPS checks. I played through the whole MSQ as a tank and had no problems at all you def shouldn't be struggling as a DPS

It's worth noting that they actually adjust the HP pools on the MSQ bosses to make them not take forever for tanks/healers.

it takes comparatively less effort to beat the DPS check on a duty boss as a tank/heals compared to a DPS due to their rotations being simpler.

I did that fight on RDM... but for DNC, you have a major mobility advantage over him, and you can kite without stopping. Learn his patterns and then nail him with technical step windows and make sure to keep SS going without missing a beat. I wish I could redo it on DNC to offer better suggestions.

I dont remember having any issue with him, playing as a healer (SCH)

I think you encountered something that might happen with computers and programs. Unlike real life, everything here is basically a machine - man-made and thus with errors. Heck, my last blue screen was random and never happened in years.



Especially when it looks like everything works fine but in fact it's just an "illustion" on your side. I had one recent death in the Aether...bla bla...laboratory where I Displaced myself out of the boss AoE first and was the only one who got hit and died.
I might have had a tiny, rare lag spike and the engine kept repeating the input (casting bar going up the same speed, my mates doing their attacks as before) on my screen while in real I was too late. It was not notable to me so I was baffled, but I a assumed a tiny cog in the huge machinery of online real-time video gaming was stuck for 2 seconds and that cost me my Lalalife..


I assume you have made it meanwhile, so it was a one-time thing.

Same thing happened to me at the level 75 dungeons last boss. Everyone but me was dead used limit break showed his hp as zero and then hit him 2 times after that and he still didn't die and killed me. They really need to fix the bosses and on there hp bar show how much is left and not a gauge. Like I will notice your whole party standing in same spot but some gets hit when others don't. Never could undersand how that happens if one gets hit they all should if there in same spot.

This is just FF XIV's horrible netcode rearing its ugly head. There are no excuses for it. The difference between server and client side information should be so slight that we, as players, should never notice it (play virtually any other MMO on the market and you will see how it's supposed to be). Sadly, not enough players kick up a fuss about it, so don't expect it to change anytime soon.
