Where do I get that hat? please tell
i love how there is so much FFXI in the AA fight.
group i joined was initially thought of tackling divine might similar as with og version, till they realize it's a quite huge difference, then after wipe proceed to deal this as 14-style. lol
i got to AA and started to disassociate. thank you for the guide though
Run around like a headless chicken. Pray.
So you mentioned Doom Arc not being too hard of a problem? Tell that to my twenty minute run
Dude hitting like a truck… thank god the healers were god tier. We kept losing people to the slashes lol
Interrupt getting it's uses this round
absolutely loved this my first run through, we'll have to see how fun it keeps being in the future with repeat runs, but I have high hopes
Even without any connection to FFXI I enjoyed this quite a bit. Dawntrail's amazing fight design still keeps going!
I'm also glad to get more aoe scenarios, maybe one day this idea of 2+ enemies can become a nice and creative trial or raid!
we wiped so many times the first run lol I was so happy it wasn't easy like the first Myths of the realm was. And back then I just had crafted gear going in. This time I was in full savage BiS. But we were BLIND.
12:26 I think this is a perfectly cromulent description of the mechanic
These mechanics were giving me DRS vibes and I'm all for it
Asuran Fists hits 8 times instead of 7. Absolutely unplayable.
Mr. Happy: you should never see beyond the first stack of the Shadowlord’s buff!
My first hour of release DF group finishing the fight with 5 people alive and 3 stacks:
I play SCH in 24 person runs and the second I raised someone they were dead again with 10 seconds.
Doom arc is such a weird ability, I am convinced it was originally intended as a hard enrage. It occurs so late in the fight, can be skipped, and has forever and a half cast time. Even as a soft enrage it doesn't make sense because you're never going to see it a second time. It would have been cool to see a spam cast soft enrage with a damage buff, maybe health gated or something.
Either way, it feels like it was conceived as more spicy, then toned down last minute and not really ever properly adjusted for.
As someone who had FFXI as my first MMO experience, playing from NA release until sometime towards the end of Aht Urghan and not playing at all since, I did get pangs of nostalgia and memories come back from some stuff in the raid. Probably the more obvious stuff. The Jeuno music, the Dynamis mobs, the Sky automaton mob things, Hundred Fists.
By the way, Sky looked amazing in XIV's engine. It's sad that it will never be a true zone.
First time in a while where I’m excited to run an alliance raid each week. I’m sure next week will be smoother than my run Tuesday but I have my hopes that it will still be a bit chaotic and fun.

I’d like to add something to this: If you see him preparing giga slash and you’re dead and someone rezzed you, WAIT UNTIL HE’S DONE. If you try to revive while he’s still showing where he slashes, you will have zero notice of where he’s going to hit because your screen was black. Better to wait and take the rez after he is done using Giga Slash than to die again and take an instant Brink of Death.
First run I tried we had one run where he doomed 3 times. We timed out.
This alliance raid had a pretty good difficulty level. The last alliance raid was a little too easy.
I'm so stoked for this. I know what I'm doing this weekend.
That mechanic with the first boss with the three arrows.. that is super wonky, it is very hard to control them with much accuracy.
Doom Arc hits like a truck. My group's dps was super low due to many, many deaths. Doom Arc came up for the second time, there were 20 of us alive. We grouped up, did our mits, and 2 ticks of the stack marker wiped out everyone but the tanks, the third finishing the job.
Gawd, who remembers someone accidentally doing an aoe attack in fafnir fight and aggroing the flies along the way…
