First 😀
Never done raiding my life I only craft, after watching your channel I want to give savage a try, How hard would you say ultimate is compared to savages?, I have trouble clearing Extremes synced to sometimes so thats where my skill level is. Thank you!
Edit: This one seems too complicated for me, how would you recommend someone that has never raided to start.
Edit : Just cleared first savage e9s, 5/7/21!
Edit 2: Cleared e10s 5/14
Edit 3: Cleared e11s 5/20
Nischalx Kandel is my fflog name if anyone wants to check 😀
Disappointed by no special Ilya Strats.
Amazing time for this video to come out now that im almost done with TEA, thank you for your hard work!
Soloing the normal version of this raid and especially the Nael fight are still some of my favorite memories. Barely surviving on my Warri by abusing animation frames and invuln was amazing.
I'm not much of a hardcore raider, but really appreciate you doing a guide for it. Maybe that will get more people to run this content 😀
Cleared UWU literally an hour before posting this comment. I wanted to tackle the other two ultimates, so thank you so much for this video !
I've never attempted any ultimate content, or even most savage, so I appreciate you making content like this for people like me who lack a lot of experience ^^*
It's easier than i thought it would be, you just have to remember what move does what.
Great guide! Can we get a Weapons Refrain guide? Im about to start that one
Nice
PLEASE DO NOT FOLLOW 90% OF THE STRATS IN HERE THEY ARE VERY WEIRD, AND CRINGE. NEUROLINK PLACEMENTS IN THIS VIDEO ARE HORRENDOUS!!!! WHY MAKE A MELEE DODGE A TWISTER BEFORE THEIR HATCH IN ADDS? NOTHING ABOUT TANK LB GRAND OCTET???? NEGATING THE MECHANIC???? CASTER LB IN SHB IS 90000000000% NOT NEEDED TO MAKE ADDS DPS CHECK AND IF IT IS YOU MIGHT AS WELL DISBAND. DIDNT EVEN DISCUSS HOW NAEL MOVEMENT SHOULD WORK??? JUST FFA LIKE 2012 BLACK OPS 2 LOBBIES/??????. PLEASE NEVER USE ANY OF THIS SHIT GOD IM FUCKING MALDING AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. also GOLDEN MIT PLAN WHERE???? NO REPRISAL ON 1ST MORN AFAH AS WELL AS INVULING FIRST AKH MORN WHEN ITS ONLY 3 HITS AND EASIER TO SHARE???. ALSO NO ONE LB'S AT THE TIMES SHOWN MAYBE SOME WEIRD ASS EU PEOPLE DO IDK (ngl didn't realize caps was on but too lazy to redo sorry mr ilya) also rumi mei from ur 5.4 static says hi :3c
There is a minor Grand Octet cheese. You can Tank LB3 when the towers appear and ignore the megaflare stack. Even if you are targeted by the megaflare and are in a tower, you will survive. Makes it easier to not miss a tower and have less deaths/time spent learning it. Also a way to save a run potentially to see more of the fight. Is the stack hard? nah. Is LB needed for adds? also nah.
For remembering clockwise or counter we used the mnemonic (assuming you are facing the outside of the arena across from bahamut): inteR (last letter is R we going right) and cardinaL (last letter L, we goin left). Maybe that helps someone.
For golden tank busters I always preferred Shared invuln invuln shared. There's merits to both. If you share the first you can kitchen sink both the first and the last. With sharing 2nd and 4th you cant use your 2 min cd on the 2nd (ok, you can but its needlessly tight, which you did cover). The downside to this way is you potentially hurt your healers on opener. Which matters, but the DPS check is stupid easy so long as no one dies anyway.
And while I agree with you about edge exaflares, my group found center 10x easier. Constant edge fails vs 1 pull center. shrug makes no sense to me but w/e.
Great stuff as always duder.
Rip markers, big thanks to Sfia & the lads for ruining that
should clear UWU tomorrow night, already cleared TEA. Time to triple legend boiz
"finishes video and looks at comments to realize its uploaded literally today"
On a serious note, i decided to tacle ultimates for the first time, after clearing this tier savage. Challenging myself has always been fun for me in mmos, and ultimates look like the stuff i'd be into. I picked TeA as my first both because i love the fight thematicaly and because its the first one i found a potentail group for, but many ppl say it's best to start with UwU because "it's the easiest one". Do you feel like this is the case or is TeA just as good an entry point?
Also speaking of TeA, do you plan on updating that guide anytime soon if at all? thanks in advance if so :3
gonna make a PF for UCoB and put "Ilya Strat" in the description
Some advices:
If a warrior is the main tank they can just Holmgang the first Death sentence.
Double ranged or double caster is really useful in this fight because of double Addle/Ranged mitigation. If double ranged is the case then the baiting swap is really easy.
My static got walled BIG TIME on Tenstrike because of how buggy it was. It really just cannot be stressed enough how badly coded the hatches are. 👀
Amazing video and guide. Really enlightened me as to how to tackle the trios as well as final phase mitigation. Would you say a scholar is practically mandatory for them tho? With all the insane amounts of raidwide damage having a 10% ready at all times seems like a dream
Not gonna lie, i kinda thought that after the tea guide that you weren’t gonna do another ultimate guide
Amazing guide, lot of effort put in to this one and it paid off! Well done 🙂
man Ive been trying to get into savage content in general my goal is to try and clear TEA one day. I would love to see more guides or videos or where to find resources to get started in the current savage tier as a completely new player to ffxiv
Thanks for this Ultimate guide Ilya! I really appreciate the effort put into this and i hope you do an UwU one soon!
Thank you for the guide. Currently finishing my triple legend, you helped me prog a ton in TEA and I'm sure this will help me clean up Ucob, and the first videos I watch at the start of a savage tier. Appreciate the videos keep up the good stuff.
Thanks for posting this, I tend to deal with a ton of anxiety when thinking about doing Ultimate!
just take a RDM and tank lb the tower part of octect and this fight is easy ^^
'Very important, Fuck Your Uptime' lol. Words to live by. Don't get greedy, just LIIIIVE.
Hi Ilya! Just wanted to say thanks again for making these guides. I started using your guides since last tier and was able to clear that and current tier, as well as TEA, thanks to you! Just joined a new UCOB group…can't wait to clear with your guide's help!
I enjoy every second your video guide brought to the viewers. I'm not a raider due to managing and scheduling a team for these contents, but your guide made me understand more about the fight, feel less overwhelm about the mechanics, and want to jump in to practice it (if I have a team)
Thank you for this hard work! I appreciate everything of it.
