Required to read Guides?

[TaleraRistain]

Thanks for all your opinions on this. Thankfully i recorded the fight and was able to analyse what went wrong.

First of all, to clarify some things: It was Haukke manor, Boss Manor Claviger. It was not a single mechanic that killed me... the healer went afk before the fight and i didnt notice, so i started the fight. On top of that i got hit by his big aoe which i thought i had interrupted, but that wasnt the case. 2 things i learned in that fight:

1) Wait for afk players
2) Move out of big aoe attacks

I know my death was absolutely my fault, that was not the point of ths thread. Its just about that other player telling me to read guides... i dont want to read guides, especially for story content. However I will read them for harder endgame content though, just to not be a burden for others.

Been a minute since I tanked that one, but if it's a big glowing red bar for the cast, then you'll interrupt instead of stun. Interrupt is Interject and stun is Low Blow. Low Blow will work on most normal non-red cast bars.

Don't read guides for story content. The only reason it's a thing for Extremes and Savage and stuff is that those fights are harder versions of the originals so you already have seen the mechanics in the original. But you'll still find completely blind PFs because people like to figure things out. You're a ways off from having to worry about that, so just enjoy the MSQ for now.
