Syrcus tower is currently broken

You can "cheese" it by having a healer in each alliance die, have the 2nd healer rez them (but don't take it) and a tank die (but not taking the rez) and immediately rez while the cast is finishing. Requires some coordination, but we did it once and I've seen it done a couple of times.

Had a fun wipe experience here not too long ago.

I did it with a group, we paused DPS on him when he was at 35%, killed all the adds, and then just went ham on him. It was a photo finish, the animation went off but he died first.

It's not a bug, it's a way to filter out people who faceroll the CT raids. You wanted challenge, well here you go. Enjoy your DPS check :^)

I went to the Sycrus Tower twice today with my new Viper. The first group couldn't defeat the second to last boss. Instead of repeating the game, this group was disbanded. After a total of one hour, I waited another 30 minutes in the alliance raid. The second to last boss froze as expected, but without the necessary ice block that protects against his strongest attack. Another wipe and another hour wasted unnecessarily by disbanding the group.

This happens more frequently than you would think. Usually it's because old, absolutely safe content is viewed as absolutely safe, something gets overlooked when making a coding edit in the future, and because it's exactly the mindset that it's "old and absolutely safe" that the newly introduced bug isn't picked up until things go live. Something this significant will get fixed quickly.

Square enix is a small indie company and they recently had massive layoffs. Someone must have accidentally taken the ice blocks with them when they left.

Ice spells missing sounds like the dying curse of every unhappy BLM main.

Also had Syrcus today. Feels bad waiting for an raid just to have everyone disband at the start.

You can kinda cheese past it if you have most of the healers die, get the raise buff roughly around when Amon casts curtain call, wait for it to just go off and then dead heals take the rez, and begin raising sacked healers plus tanks.

It took effort to do that though, and that doesn't include the juggling of constant frog debuff, adds, bombs, -aga spams, and Amon clearly on your healer butt in aggro if tanks die again. :')
