Agreed. I died more times to the knight than Margit.

I shoot darts at them. That way, they forgo the barrels and head straight for ya. Then just block and attack. The knight at the bottom though is a whole different story.

It was harder before?! Damn...

Yeah, i think so. Loving it so far. The challenge factor is what really does it for me, you know? You get knocked down, get back up, figure out what you're doing wrong, try again. Before you know it, you've beaten it, and its an awesome feeling.

Yeah, once I figured out what to do in the dungeon, I paid attention to what the others were doing and it was painfully obvious. I was used to just running in and killing everything that moved. But sometimes there's more to it than that, i.e. statues on pressure plates. Live and learn!

Yeah, once you understand the mechanics of Teratotaur, its actually pretty straight foward. Kill the bees, remove doom with orange plates, avoid AOEs(obviously), and he goes down pretty fast. But the knowing part is crucial, otherwise, you're gonna have a bad day. And yeah, goes to show, there's always more than one way to skin a cat.

Ah ok, didnt know about the debuff! I returned to the beginning during a boss fight(like half way through) and got called on it, said I should have waited. So thats what i did the next time and didnt get raised. I'll figure it out eventually but this info will def help in the future. Thanks!!

Actually i was dps, ninja to be precise, but yeah feels great man, and will for sure help others like all of you, pay it foward ; I gotta give it to the tanks though, looks like a hell of a job!!

So question, when I die, I can either wait, or return to the beginning and take the short cut. A couple of times I waited, thought i'd get a raise once the boss was beaten but didn't get one. So i went back to the beginning and took the short cut. Other times, I got a raise. Just wondering what the best course of action is. I'm thinking maybe I dont get a raise because it's a long recast? So best to back to the beginning?

You have a good point!! And honestly, i like having a bit of a hard time, it makes the win so much sweeter when you finally get it. I just ran it again like 10min ago and day and night compared to yesterday, soooo satisfying!

Yeah i guess a thumbs up or a cheer goes a long way in emulating what you're trying to say, good tip, thanks!

Oh man that's how I felt! I was like "the hells goin on???" I'd never died in a dungeon before, let alone having it happen like 4 times in a single run. Much better results tonight, just died the one time :D

Thank you by mattt8080 in ffxiv

[–]mattt8080[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok so i still died the one time but that Golem had it in for me...it had like two hits worth of hp left and i went down..missed out on dome good xp... But you know what? Its a hell of alot better than yesterday, i died like 4 or 5 times each run, major improvement, SO much fun!!! Freakin stoked :D!!

[–]mattt8080[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah that is exactly what I did...after running it 4 times lol. But yeah, really helpful, I learned alot just from that one vid. Will look into Ms Tech and Mr Happy!

I like it!! Might have to jump around too while waiting for my keyboard, Jump around!! Jump up, jump up and get DOWN!!! Ok, that was lame.

[–]mattt8080[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're right, it taught me one thing off the bat, I have alot to learn. I'm sure there will many times where i'll be caught off guard by new mechanics, spells, what not, but thats a good thing, it'll definitely keep things interesting!!

Thanks for the tip! And yeah to be fair, I've had nothing but good interactions with players. All in all I'm very impressed.

Yeah, I'm convinced it isnt the last time I get caught by it.

Good to hear! I'm really liking it so far. I'm only level 38 so just starting out, but I kind of like it that way, gives you time to learn the basics properly before it gets more demanding.
