Taming the Tempest (Hard)

[Kumaeru]

We were actually just took an off day yesterday after I made that video and witnessed most linkshells wipe trying to do BLM burn. It was pretty funny actually. So no, not every blm can do it. And it's not just spamming thunder spells thats killing it. Tank DPS, Brd DPS, and Whm DPS help out in that fight also... as you realize you are a fraction of a second away from a full wipe. So if you have Blms getting a few resists, then you will wipe also.

I don't think "phase lock" if that's even what the term it should be called is a glitch. It's not really locked into a phase... She just uses her AF after her plumes are dead. S-E gives a benefit to those who can kill her faster to skip the first dust pools phase and even the annoying phase where she just teleports around and summons plumes... You can go straight from Astral Flow to the Chirada/Suprana adds. So it seems like it was part of they're plan to make it almost easier or have less chance to screw up if you killed her faster. We just took that and bypassed AF entirely.

I'm at 386 INT wearing gimp AF pants (sorc pants drop has been lame for me), and Lux is at 389. Swinds parsed lower than normal in that fight because he was on the phone. As stated by Miko 'Neversleeps' you don't need high INT. Although I did mention to people about timing convert with BV for the HP boost, we actually never even did that. The key is not getting resists and timing when to go all out and rest for mp. If we time the BV + convert better so we don't waste MP during the convert we can probably do this fight without worry... Sometimes cutting it close at the end with the elixer and last round of nukes.



Melee burn would be possible, but repositioning to the center or off center to a pillar I think would be needed. I have a fully capped Str/Int MNK so I would love to try this out also as my damage parse on Garuda on MNK is also pretty high. Would probably need BV Paeon though. and hundred fists with str potion at her Plume spam stage before AF or potentially lowering INT where possible and increasing +attack through the entire build to maximize auto attack damage... We're not just a bunch of mage noobs that some seem to allude to heh..
