You just kinda need to get used to how it works, it's hard to explain. That said even though I get it right most times, I still eat a vuln every now and then. It's fine really, quite often the entire raid gets a vuln but it's still easily healable, just the 2nd fail results in death if you don't let the vuln drops. Also you can absolutely just follow ppl around in EX. Might die every now and then but it's really not that bad to do.
The constellations are upside down is usually what gets most people.
Just did the run again and died once at the stars but I think I have it figured out. It's a lot easier to do as MCH because I just get rezzed in. I don't want to die as a healer and cause a wipe when the stacking aoe begins.
I usually ask if anyone is on pro-status and mark them and just follow them around. After 3-4 completions you'll understand every aspect of the fight if you just look around when following the lead. I think the EX version is pretty similar. Few more kinks, but can still follow someone around. I'm about to ding 90 and will give it a whirl.
I don't know if I'd call them upside down, but basically someone explained it as a waffle toaster kind of thing, the constellation is the lid, and it just "closes" on the arena. So the top of the constellation is the far side from it and the bottom is the close side.
Do this as a tank and don't tell people about the tank buster. Good for a laugh once!
89 is exactly the same amount of xp as the levels before, besides 80. It's 10 quests exactly(every level is 10quests, other than 80 being 20 since it splits into 2 as usual), which is about 5m xp, not even half the xp needed for 89 to 90. There is a dungeon run too which is like 3.5m xp or so, so you're somewhat close to getting a full level IF you run every single 89 quests on that char. So sounds like you're just mixing up a bunch of roulettes and stuff, and yeah that'll happen. Do the roulettes on other classes instead?
