Russ happy new year even tho it was yesterday. o/
ahh yes Pharos sirius. Second time I got wiped in a dungeon.
Ugh this dungeon had my friend group raging when we did it.
So if you are not prepared this dungeon will hit swift and hard.
Whenever I get into dungeons, if they are willing I tend to encourage them to do mechanics correctly because I've seen most of these dungeons before gear scaling trivialized many of them. I get the impression newer players consider it making a big deal out of nothing, but they don't know what it was like. Which is fine, they aren't obligated to suffer for nothing. Just know it wasn't always faceroll. XD
Nice job, Russ! This is totally not an easy dungeon at min iLvl. Congrats!
Hahah, the GATE music playing during the boss struggle was great
Yeah, that one can be rough, especially if nobody knows the mechanics.
Awesome dude!
Whenever I get Pharos as one of my dailies I internally groan. This dungeon is still rough. Particularly Symond, I swear despite being the first boss of the dungeon he is the hardest one in there by far.
Ah, the last dungeon of the era where dungeons require brain to be switched on. IMO still the best dungeon in the game.
Theme song is a banger too!
Ive watched a guide on this dungeon before so i could understand the first boss mechanics…it still just seems random most of the time
Back when this dungeon was new and i took up tanking i used to troll parties by meticulously explaining Symond and Zu only to instantly pull Tyrant with no warning, probably gave lots of healers panic attacks.
LMAO, I cannot imagine doing this dungeon on min ilvl. The first 2 bosses are usually a shit show even without that. As someone who usually queues as healer, I want to cry when I get this dungeon. The biggest issue being that, like you guys, most people don't know the mechanics and the mechanics still matter.
Still one of my favorite dungeons.
I remember this dungeon was nerfed because it was too hard. On top of that, we had TP bar so melee could not spam AOE like we can now. People used to pray for Black Mages here since they were the only job that could spam AOE.
Don't forget this is after the nerf.
when the wipecount hits the subcount ;D i think we all went through this back in the days 😀
This dungeon holds my favorite dungeon soundtrack.
tough one for min. ilvl, GG!!!
8:26 oh God! I forgot how hard this boss is
Ah yes the worst dungeon in the game in my opinion. Aurum Vale gets ire from the community but I think it’s not too bad. It’s just the first room that sucks. Pharos Sirius? No it sucks from the word go. The bosses suck, the add pulls suck, the hazards suck, the exploration sucks. Shout out to Pharos Sirius (Hard) for not k my being easier than it’s normal version but BETTER. This is by far the low point when it comes to dungeons in my honest opinion.
I remember this with old healer kit: Stoneskin, Protect, Cleric stance ugh!!!
This was also my first dungeon, advising not wall to wall!
Pharos Sirius is such a cool dungeon, the constant Siren's song as its background music really adds to the experience. At the same time, oh man does it hit hard. Most dungeons, even ARR Hard ones, are quite chill. But Pharos Sirius… well… the video speaks for itself.
If it makes you feel any better russ. I still dont know this dungeons mechanics and ive been playing a few years
By the way, pro tip for tab targeting in cone setting – you can actually make it better by angling the camera. The less enemies on the screen, the less targets to tab through as cone goes through what you can see. Very handy for Frontlines especially.
I draw this more often than I care to during Duty Roulette. I hate this place more than I hate Aurum Vale.
The 'Hard' version is actually easier than the normal version.
This was the greatest dungeon run I've ever seen.🤣
Congrats on the win, that's one more down.
Everything from the start of the instance until the first boss is pain even when you aren't MINE, the rest isn't too bad provided people respect mechanics
the chocobo music is chefs kiss
This is one of the things I find fun about MMOs though, going in blind with some peeps and figuring out how to get things done.
oh gosh yes I despise Pharos too 😂
Don't know if someone else has mentioned this, but rather than tab targeting or clicking on the actual enemy, when you specifically need to hit one enemy and just that enemy it's best to target them by clicking on their name in the enemy list (it's just under your party list on the left side). you can also see what each enemy is casting on that list as well. it's not really necessary for most things but if you ever get to TEA you'll see how it can be extremely useful 😛
Oh this dungeon is hard in normal circumstances! You're braver than me!
that duty isn't easy synched in general, the fact that you also had MINE and tried to w2w most of it…..
