Oh that's just mean...

It's fair, we can heal the entire party to full as well.

Good point, but I imagine it takes quite a bit of effort to get him down to 11% in the first place. I'm not saying it's unfair, merely disheartening.

For some reason, that kind of mechanic feels very FF-ish to me.

Lunar Curtain is a Sentinel like effect that works for 15 seconds, just like Sentinel. lol. I would imagine that it would work elsewhere. More testing is needed!

Still having a hard time wrapping my head around surviving something that should normally wipe you to farm something to beat the fight.

There are 2 ways to go about it from an original position:

- Bring jobs with Sentinel (WAR, WHM, PLD) and raise everybody else (BLM, BRD, MNK, DRG) using GC potions and raise spells.

- Bring classes instead of jobs so everyone gets Sentinel.

WAR and PLD won't need moon sugar to survive Megaflare; their Sentinel+HP is enough. If you are THM, Sentinel+Sanguine Rite will narrowly keep you alive. I think you will want BRD in any case for Battle Voice.

Ideally, you will earn back the deaspected clusters you spend with each attempt. It's not a quick battle.

problem is that you'll go through all of it again when he heals himself back to 100% and then there goes the timer too and you'll end up timing out unless you can deal damage quickly and get him past 11% so he can't reheal himself.

How's his physical damage compared to normal? He can take people down pretty quickly if he skillchains. . . besides the new ability, does he hit any harder?

so far the only thing I've see him hit with was mega flare and that was an instant wipe for us then again this was last night

Has more then one group got him to 11% to verify that he does this at that % each time? It could also be a certain time that passes where he does that. I.E. If you do enough damage, in enough time, he wont auto heal to 100%. That wouldn't really be consistent with anything else in the game, but was just wondering. Also was the restore instant, or was it gradual kinda like the crosseye faction leve. Where you're not doing damage, and it heals real fast.
