    Namely SMN/BLM, as both require you to stand still and pew pew. Demon Wall does not allow this...Almost at all.

    Not only do you get the poison on the ground that gives random debuffs and damage but you have the knockback, adds, adds that do large AOEs that do pretty nasty damage and you get the room cut in half.

    I am all up for a challenge but Demon Wall is just seems broken.
    I beat that dungeon like 30 times speed running demon wall is actually the easiest. What you didn't notice is the smn in your party It take a while for him to start dps which will take a long time to kill adds. Get a drg and monk or drg and bard and watch how easy demon wall is.

    Here is a 10 second picture to show you how little movement there is in this fight if you do it right.

    Start by going to 1 before you cast. When the first zone pops, step twice to 2. Then step to 3 (back to 1) and wait for middle void again. Then, 5 steps to center. After knockback, back to 1.

    That's it. There is very little movement at all. People go crazy trying to get way over to the left and way back to the center each time - the majority of movements are 2 steps.


    thats amazing for newbs!

    and i've done AK 15mins with a BLM/SMN combo no problem.

    Load it up with dots, thm can use scathe to damage it if they have to move and have spare gcds.

    Adds can be stunned, the charge up on Thunderstorm is really slow.

    Only remotely annoying issue is that if you are a mouse-turner it can get you blown off pretty easily if you mouse turn to dodge things. Center the camera for repel as best you can and back pedal to get you blown in that direction.

    So, I finally did beat the demon wall.

    Maybe we all just got tired as it was getting late but I did finish it with PLD, WHM, SMN, MNK.

    This fight seems really unfair if you have 2 casters, Though, comet works well against them and hits the boss I think Braver would work better to gib a fly and burn the other.

    Hey man just keep trying! I was having the same issue at first. My FC's AK group right now is SMN, WHM, BLM, WAR and we are able to beat in on our first try every single run now.

    You only need to move 3 times. Start on the left, move to middle, move to left, move to middle until he repels. When the bees spawn, we wait for first wave of ground poison so you can be free to cast it and take the bees to half. We've got this on farm status now and we're still barely out of AF. None of us have darklight aside from an accessory or 2.

    Finish this fight twice and you will be laughing at how predictable and easy it is. It's a great awareness check for anyone's first time though.

    lol wow, if casting gives you trouble on demon wall then please take this suggestion... go play a bard. You don't have to stand still and it does dmg w/o much thought. I generally kill the boss before he summons flies on Smn personally, I was expecting this to be a complaint regarding how a wall isn't very fun/easy to dps for jobs that use positioning to do their true dmg.

    I did this last night with 2 black mages as dps and they destroyed the demon wall. Took us 4 tries. Mostly because it was the first time(s) i'd been to that fight.

    This boss is EZPZ. Anyone who fails at it (after their first attempt) should probably have somebody else pilot their character through it.
