Rivenroad (Hard)

[fusional]

got a couple 13 minute kills tonight, but we're still not playing perfectly. pretty sure we can knock the time down a couple more minutes if we bring our 'A' game.

definitely the most fun i've had in XIV in quite some time, though

Damn, I'm jealous. I'm just trying to convince people to do it. Because of a few wipes, everyone loses morale, lol.

Tell them not to lose hope~ Hahah. We're still working at it, and got an 11 min. 33 second kill tonight :3 We're still not playing as well as we could, and we're also going to change the strat in this video to try to get closer to our goal of a kill in ~8 minutes.

Nice job.

I liked how you blew through dps wise on the phase 2 golems phase(not letting them spawn). Makes the monk useless and the extra drg much better dps choice. The one blm going up for phase 1 60% was nice as well, sometimes im up there for way to long yelling at people to pick up the dps.

Very nice run.

Only issue with this strategy that I see (Correct me if I am wrong) is if he uses his defense up buff multiple times in a row and your pld has no shield blocks avaliable. If you use up your white mages dispel you become a sitting duck for the next 30ish seconds until you can get the buff dispelled because you can't really get any damage off on him.

Good kill though, that was what I had assumed you guys were doing with the 3 drgs when you first said you could kill it that quickly a few days ago but only utilizing one blm for first phase meteors is so ballsy i didn't even consider it due to the fact a resist on a meteor can completely screw over an entire party. Maybe my ls was just unlucky with that though because we would have black mages that were just straight stacking Magic Accuracy still getting resisted. more often than they should have.

At this point though I think it is probably more luck than skill based on whether or not you can complete it too much faster and whether or not darnus is generous in the abilities he uses allowing you to do constant DPS on him.

The blm on the bottom can still bail out the one at the top if he resist. Actually the brd can do this as well. If your tank is good he can dodge the moves pretty well himself. You shouldn't need more then 1 whm to help you out there, but I can see times where you are waiting on the whm to debuff.
