Was talking to Zylo last night about how his coil team before used a stacking method for the rot passing.  It intrigued me so I looked it up, stacking method and I came across this site.

From: http://www.ffxivguild.com/ffxiv-binding-coils-of-bahamut-turn-2-ads-guide-strategy/

Rot Passing (4 Ranged) ["Stacking Method"]
Ranged (1) -> Healer (2) -> Ranged (3) -> Healer (4) -> Ranged (5) -> Ranged (1) [STACK UP]

While we never do this, If you have an all ranged party you can actually stack up after Ranged (5) gives it to Ranged (1). Rot will, amazingly, pass itself after that. If you do this method make sure you all DODGE IN THE SAME DIRECTION, when getting lasered or gravity welled.

After 1 complete round of allagan rot.. we can go meet up at the center and stack together while the rot passes itself as soon as the next person's immunity finishes its cooldown. Only thing is we need to move in the same direction to avoid gravity or laser which shouldn't be too hard to do if we just follow the crowd direction.

Or pick and mark one person and have them be the one everyone follows.

What do you think? @.@ Want to try it?


I also realize Alh mentioned it in an earlier post. >w<

What we do for the first round is have the people next in line to the healers "fetch" the rot so that the healers don't need to move as much.

After the first round, it doesn't matter as much - healers can go early or the people next in line can fetch early. As long as they're stacked together the rot will pass as soon as the immunity goes out.

....Yeah. My head meets the desk right now. =v=;   
eishhhh...  (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

News.. huh..hm..

- Got to Level 50 BTN and MIN this weekend. Digging my new gathering duds.
- It's December!! Counting the days till 2.1
- I don't think I'll ever like speed runs.
- Distracted by 2DS atm.  Pokemon X and Harvest Moon. What. I love that stuff.
- Rune Factory 4 or Ace Attorney Dual Destinies. !@#$% I need both before Christmas holiday rolls around.
- Hunger Games. Never thought I'd end up liking it this much. The first movie started out strong and ended a little weak, imo. But the second one really blew me out of the water and I'm glad that I went to watch it. Next Hobbit movie. Must watch, will watch, will die if I don't watch.

Sorry. It's the coffee talking.

Ur dream will come true on Ver.2.1 they will have a hard mode dungeon :-D

I'd like to do some lower dungeons as  a tank or a healer so that I'm totally clueless at 50. Msg me if I'm online. =)

I guess it will be possible with duty roulette. Hard mode dungeons are at level 50 if I'm not mistaken. ^^;

There might be. What time slot did you have in mind? And what classes do you need?
To give other members more or less an idea if they are available then.

There's that.. or taste the steel toe of the Admin's boots. :p

Contests, Screenshots, FC photoshoots maybe.. it's been a while since the last one. Or wait until 2.1 and see how the FC housing and Crystal Tower goes.

Nope, no balls in turn 4. Just bugs, robots, rooks and dreadnaughts (the same one from the Lightning FATE).

GOOD. Lol.

Hmm.. getting there. Just some lag issues here and there but we will try again tmr. ; Team 7 fighting..

Yeh, I'm starting to hate them boruz. Are we going to see more of them in T4? Thanks, Einzo for the tips and encouragement :3 As soon as we got our full team again then we will give it another go.


Tentative Raid sched updated.

Something that may help is arranging your party window so that the person next in line is under your name, and so forth. That way you can tell at a glance when you're next in line and see the status of the person after you as well. [So you know when immunity's dropped or the rot has been passed more easily]

You can arrange the party order in your social -> party window.

!!!?!

LOL. WUT. I did not know that. >W<;

Hyuuu, that mean I could have made my life a lot easier if I had known how to rearrange people so tanks not so far from each other.  /headdesk

Thanks Alh. hahah omgahhd... 

Mm, okay.. :'3  Turn 2 not clear yet.  The next run to be determined until Mama Esmme's comp is fixed.

Meantime.. there is some improvement in the allagan rot passing and no more high voltage but it is a bit hard for the healer to move to pass the rot. Especially around near 50% when the ADS starts hitting even harder than before, healer cannot let up even a few seconds.

So I want to suggest asking the dps next in line of passing, especially on those next to us healers by asking them to come to us instead of us going to them. @@;;   

Or.. we could try switching the numbers around. Those not part of the silence rotation should be next in line from the healer...

What do you guys think??

Edit. Yea I'm still up... lol.. cannot sleep again. Thinking.. tossing... turning...

Nice shots....even got a pantsu shot, lol.  By the way, are these cut scenes are available in the inn? (If not, I'm screwed. Didn't take any of the chapter 4 one.. aaaahhh..!)

Oh, lol. @w@;  I see. I thought people passed it for your DRG.

[Turn 1 Down~~]

Thanks Endy :3  haha, yea I guess I'm still psyched since it's first time to experience.


Turn 1 Down~~ о( ＞▽＜)o

Loot Claims:
DRG chest piece  --
PLD/WAR chest piece -- Luna

**No DRG in party so we decide to give it to a person who is leveling a DRG.

That was a close one.  I was nearly out of MP with shroud and hi-ether on cooldown close to the end. Thank the Twelve for Freecures and Divine Seal. \ o /

Now for Turn 2.

I like what we're doing with Emrys. We started to follow this sequence of him casting Whispering Dawn first then when it fades, I cast Medica II during Monitor node and last boss to counter the vaccum.

He also casts Sacred Soil around the tanks during this time. Scholars are nice to have in parties. ^^

Still practicing the Allagan Rot passes. The silence rotation is getting better too

Would it be a better tactic if the healers don't move so much and stay in position unless avoiding line AOEs to keep their focus on healing the tank and keep the regen effect in party?  And the DPS next in line for passing the rot will be the one to approach to get the rot from the healer?

Although I would probably like to practice passing the rot on, but I feel like until we get more familiar, we might want to play it safe.  Emrys and I might need to use the mic or macro with sound to alert the next DPS to get it from us at 8 seconds.  Give them 3 extra seconds to run to us or something like that.

Or.. is that more risky..?

Edit. Hm, guess I'll fix up the first post in a few..

Hai, just want to ask those who are authorized to change the spreadsheet to update for Team 7, 3Q 

Tank - Fushuai Fujiang PLD
Tank - Luna Krystal PLD
DPS - Koenigs Pants  MNK

Downed ADS~

We were so close in finishing the last boss too. My net was messing with me a bit last night so I was a little frustrated when I lag some few times. But it's one too many than I would have liked but I just keep spam cure / cure II / regen / divine seal/ presence the OT, never mind if it keep telling me cannot cast. >0<; 

I think we all did good,  so close to the finish.  After the fight, I cannot sleep right away.  I feel like a zombie right now, on my third cup of coffee. For 1 hour after I log off, my eyes fixated on the ceiling replaying the fight in my head over and over.

Ah.. good point.

I didn't use group heal much on Turn 1. Only if most members HP is around 50%  it only happens when we get paralyze and its harder to avoid attacks / execute spells.

...I also realize later on that kind of paralyze cannot be cured by Esuna. >w>; 

Usually I just use DS + Cure or Free Cure on the main tank and try to be as minimal but making sure the tank HP doesn't go down too low. I will try not to cast heal unless the tank is at critical when the adds show up until OT position it in the back.

True.. speed is of the essence. The fight could be finished faster if the DD focus all on the main boss instead of wiping out the adds.  We did consider that tactic at first but they didn't want to put too much pressure on the healers.  I'm up for anything, whatever the group decides. :d
