Those 2 things are the main thing that can wipe a raid, if youre getting it that low its just a matter of repetition. Make sure they are managing the spiny plumes, steel cyclone hits the entire raid for like 3k which throws healers way off. I know our other group who killed it healed through it but there is no need.

It's a surprisingly easy and smooth fight when you control that. It's a pain for your tanks because they'll be on the other sides of the map but that's what CDs are for. You should only get 2 add phases anyway at the end so they can pop CDs + sprint and grab the spiny's.

Yeah, once we figured out the Spiny Plume and 3 debuff = super cyclone and to tank swap it we one shot it. Great when the mechanics of a fight work out the way they are supposed to and you aren't constantly RNG fucked on damage spikes or shitty ability queuing.

Extreme modes seem like they were designed to be anti-sellable. Groups will simply mandate the buyer dies immediately instead of trying to stay alive and retardedly killing the spiny, screwing up the titan gaols, etc

I would love if they add the ability to make a comment next to a commendation for a player. could be like +/-nets here that way. It seems like they could implement that easily enough.

-commendation would be cool too but probably wont go in

-commendation would be idiotic. Way too many trolls and little kids who want to fuck with people for the luls.

There are 5 achievements based on commendations, each one rewarding you with something. The last one (500) is apparently a gold magitek mount.

Is that why the super easy guildhests had like no queue? People just blitzing through for commendations?

Well that and the fact that guildhests are part of the daily roulettes now. People are doing them for the tomes/xp.

Is Allagan better than the crafted PvP gear for PvP? People are saying the crafted is better even though it's got half the stats... Morale must be really strong.

Its most likely for the materia slots to put in sleep and heavy redux. Moral is good for pvp damage as well.


As for Gilgamesh, there is alot of people running shit. The FC has basically two static groups plus some casual folks that do coil and other things in pugs.

Haste is already in, its on selene. Doesnt change much of anything as long as its only for short periods of time. You'll only burn through your resource faster.
