Taming the Tempest (Hard)

[Klive]

What piss me off are all those jealous *#+}*}%*# . Because of all th fuckinh crying we will have a warrior nerf and Garuda buff, which will make it harder for the people who kills it regularly and impossible for these stupid %%#%###% that keep crying and never get anything accomplished in game since they are all lvl 12

Angry much? Who is jealous? Who are all these lvl 12 people?

Exactly as long as someone cry's --- Yoshi P. can't make an achievement- You know they are going to nurf these things untill very player's can do it- yet they will keep nurfing us as players as long as we keep proving him, Hard mode can be defeated in a way he doesn't like.

People that suck at playing and can't accomplish anything, thus crying on forums because of a video that have lots of strategy and equip stack which 0.1% have. so, in the end, all the crying will result in one thing only. Won't for sure forbid good ls from killing, but will make it impossible to kill for others. Which include te criers, like in your sig

What's your average blm outputting for damage (total for fight, not dps)? Just wondering what kind of numbers i need to be doing to get there.

On a normal 4:30ish kill, our BLMs are putting out about 30-32k total damage.

For BLM burn.. seems a lot lower than this.

Around 19-23K per BLM. (Depending on gear and rotation)

My LS stopped early last night and I still felt the urg to keep going. I joined a pick-up party shouting for a Blm, when I took the invite I saw they were going for the Blm burn. I asked why and they replied that they have yet to defeat Garuda, getting stuck at the 5% mark a lot. I showed then a couple of position changes for triplets and by the 3rd try they had her down. I am not a fan of the burn even though it needs skill to execute the real fight is easy enough.

This is a fun fight I'm sure people can get it down sure enough. Muscle memory is key, knowing what to do without thinking about it.

Got it tonight ^^, was super fun with the blm burn, but looking forward to working on the full strat after this.

Can everyone post their actual rotations? We kept continually getting to 1-5% and slowly people gave up after many attempts. (everyone had 2-3melds, food/pots)


I believe at zerg time our BLM's were doing something like...

Thunder > Thundara > Thundaga (buffed crit) (or Burst right after convert)
Thunder > Thundara
Freeze (or Blizzard if freeze cooldown & thunder combo resist)
Repeat.



I've had a group say at 2nd jump, they fully rest MP before they start zerg. We tried it a few times to no avail.

BRD full time MACC song. We seemed good on resists, but a few runs we were unlucky with it and DPS suffered.

BLM's used Elixirs instead of INT-pots since it seemed right towards the end they had no MP after convert nuking.
(they were using Crowned Cake as well)

WHM kept stone debuff up and nuked.

WAR saved Mighty Strikes at start of Zerg & enough TP for 2 full combos.
(Maddening Potion +1, not needed & ACC food)

Since this isn't getting fixed before you all get 7/7 anyway, you might as well know you can do this without any WHM at all. Use 2 BRD for Ballad+Minuet and Battle Voice Convert and have your WAR learn how to dodge Slipstream. Have fun. You can probably do it in all AF or single melds at the most.

Full disclosure: I haven't tested BLM burn either way, this is just theorizing from what my WHM tells me about how little healing is necessary in phase 1 and having seen a no-WHM PT come out victorious.
