really devs, really?

LeonDalmasca That was completely not helpful. Ran'jit had literally no health I could see on his bar yet somehow he still got that move off.
honestly I'm getting sick of server side poling. I want to see the real health of my enemies and not what my client says it is

Do you have HP percentages displayed, and if so, did that percent say 0%?

[Wildsprite]

for those that don't know, Dancer hardly has a rotation, it's pretty much use whatever is lit and if nothing is lit you use your first 2 moves till something lights up
start by using a step, then use the lit moves as they light, finish the step then fight. if you have another player or an NPC use closed position on them if it's available. that's it.

yes it was displaying 0% on my side but apparently not on the server itself

him dying won't help you if he already launched his nuke propably, we also have 0,0% hp values displayed now and I can't test the fight if it just ends instantly after you deplete all of his hp even after he has finished his cast.

That's a bummer you lost progress on the the fight but I'd like to add it seems to be a rather rare issue since this is the first time I've heard of it- lots of people completing the event on lower dps jobs as well (tanks/healers). Personally completed it on Paladin without issue.

So I'd give it another whirl and if it happens at 0% again and he didn't finish his 1 hit knockout move then you've got a rare bug report on your hands :O.

I think you'll get it this time- Good luck~!

oh I know it won't but what I was seeing on my side was me giving him loads of damage and his health hit 0% within plenty of time yet he stayed standing and his meter kept going down. this tells me the server wasn't poling as fast as my client was and really makes me not want to play the game

That fight wasn't the most difficult fight in the MSQ line- not by far. I beat it on my first try as a BLM. By then, you'd already had plenty of practice fighting him (even by using Thancred) and there wasn't really anything new. I barely remembered the fight and had to look it up to remember what the fight entailed. Obviously the fight wasn't memorable.

So yeah, either something bugged and screwed up, or you missed something. That's all. You get over it and go again. That happens sometimes in games. You move on.

[Fynlar]

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.

[Hasrat]

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.

0% doesn't mean that he died, he could have had only 1,000 health left and was extremely close to dying to the point he was basically 0%.

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