Not looking for easy street..

[Pandemonium1960]

Could someone please explain why there are quests that even at the "easy" level are almost impossible to win? Especially when your fighting as a NPC..I'm working on Full Steam Ahead! I will be stuck at this point in the game forever. Don't get me wrong, I'm not looking to be handed a win, but come on! Easy, for me anyways, isn't any easier than the normal level. I don't see any changes, he loses health at the same rate, which is slower than molasses in January (yes I'm that old), his attacks all hit cause the same rate of damage. I know there are players that will laugh at this, but I'm just here to have fun, relax, and escape the real world, when the game becomes more frustrating than the world I'm trying to escape, and provides no fun, it's not worth my time or money.

Are you getting hit by AOEs?

I don't see how this instance can gate you if you're using all your abilities and dodging the attacks.

I HATE the MSQ forced fights. If I wanted to play a Thancred, I would make one. I play to use my BRD or WHM period. The best part of this patch was the new housing deco....

Ah yes, the Thancred fight against Ran'jit. That has a specific strategy to win in that you need to use Thancred's abilities effectively - specifically his Hide ability. Because Ran'jit just hits far too hard, simply going in and trying to tank and spank him normally is tantamount to suicide. You basically have to quickly rush in, hit Ran'jit, run away like hell and then hide while trying your best to avoid Ran'jit's attacks (as well as being mindful of the toll it takes on Thancred), and then rinse and repeat.

Then, towards the end when the option becomes available, use Ryne's 'special' cartridge (that is on the Duty Action button) to execute an extremely powerful attack that practically one-shots Ran'jit and then completes the battle. There are some other things to remember but I can't recall them from when I did that annoying fight.

Yeah hehe, I play my Bard and white mage period. Dabbled with some others but been ages. I also do not like having to read avatar's text to see what I should be doing.

The fight even tells you when to use things. I completed it a few months ago. It’s not that hard so long as you pay attention to what they’re telling you to do.

And where exactly is this, cause I'm not seeing any "tells you when to use things"?

Middle of the screen, that text that flashes for about 10 secs telling you when to use your special abilities and keeps coming up till you use your special abilities. It also remains in the chatbox after.
