I found that knowing if you're in or out of the AOE circles on Shiva is pretty hard to spot on, especially when they are everywhere but 1 safe spot.
I don't know if you told them, but as an extra advice to using Lucid Dreaming on CD, another great piece of advice you can give is to always carry a few Super Ethers.
I can't tell you the amount of times they've come in handy when shit hits the fan, you have no MP left and Lucid is still on CD, especially during prog scenarios (which those EXs very much are for newer players).
I am proud of you Caetsu🎉🎉 Good effort, bless you😊
In my experience. smn is best. you can hard carry.
When I tank. Why is the boss not dying?
When I heal. Why everyone dying? REEEEEEEEE
When I dps. Time for work!
I like how you bring up the positive things you see in a particular duty too. I know the selling point of mentor roulette videos tends to be "Haha Mentor Roulette=pain" but I love seeing when sprouts do things well and get recognized for it.
Also can confirm as a controller player, Dragon's eye on party members is incredibly awkward and I tend to forgo it when not doing current extremes or higher. Might look into making a macro for it now that it was mentioned though, maybe if it survives the rework.
Another win for SGE mains. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
But yeah, this explicitly why I only heal in Mentor Roulette. You can do so much work. Well, assuming you're not fighting Ramuh EX with a tank that doesn't listen, keeps grabbing aggro, and running circles arounds the boss, cleaving everyone with AOEs.
That would be a shame.
Istg I had exact same pair of white mages doing shiva ex, completely overhealing party and being at 2000MP in add phase
Limsa Lominsa (Savage) would be wild.
Excellent work caetsu. I hope the sprouts you helped learned something.
And into he walked. A hero knowing challenges of the highest highs and lowest lows. Yet not even they could overcome this challenge. *Limsa Lominsa: Savage*
I worry about the day I can do mentor roulette, because it's been so long since I did these ARR EX trials that I only remember vauge details and things that apparently aren't a thing anymore like Titan permadeath.
Dragon sight is so odd and difficult to apply i dont even see dragoons anymore
Honestly, as a mentor who's done about nearly 600 successful runs, there's only ever 2 duties that sparks fear into me. And, if we were to look at a failure/Wipe rate over all trials, these would probably be at the top.
Ifrit, and Ramuh EX. Ifrit fails hard because 90% of the time, healers sit in the middle, and wipes the group with the pulsating damage. That, or overall damage is too much for healers to heal through.
Ramuh on the other hand… where do i begin? People dying to the tank cleave (how can this happen, shouldn't people not be sitting on the tanks ass? SO MANY HEALERS SIT ON MY ASS AND DIE TO IT >.>), People not grouping up/Not getting shocked out of the Fear mechanic. People standing in water during the lightning, People eating orbs when the tank needs them, tanks not tank swapping, tanks not knowing they need the orb buff… I could go on…
Honestly, when those two appear, my hopes for a pass drops dramagically.
