I love your content Xeno!! Your guides are very positive and fun, and I appreciate how enthusiastic you are about wanting to help people. My favorite part is your "Well, that's all I've got, I hope this leads to some sweet first clears." It's a very sincere and down to earth outro~ plus your music is nice. Can never go wrong with good music haha. I've learned all of FCoB from your guides so far, a few friends should be tagging along with me to get the kill on Phx tonight (we've had the obligatory 1% wipe) and hope to start work on 13 soon-- echoless, of course. Once again, thank you very much! :)
Maski【Herdier】 Hey Maski! Thx for the comment, I definitely appreciate it! My main group wiped at 1-5% like times before finally killing it haha so i know the feels XD
Ay, first appearance on your channel of the outro music that you still use today, sweet! Also, I've been watching a lot of your old videos and wow, what a time capsule; FF14 and its combat mechanics were SO different back then (I started playing this game just before patch 5.3)! Your older videos have been a nice lens for me to get a glimpse into FF14's past. Thanks! :3
I would like to add to be careful on tank positioning. It is very hard to reposition the boss during the fight, so you need to have him in the perfect position from the start. Sadly, in the video the tank were outside the inner circle from the beginning which means they will either take extra damage at the end of the fight from the ground or have to reposition the boss by either standing in the ground aoe left by the boss or turning him. In our group, we tank him at 2/3 from the center to the putter edge of the inner circle until the first charge, after which once he runs back to me, I make sure I'm a little bit before the edge to counter any tank swapping mistakes and that's where we keep him the entire fight.
nah, my positioning is pretty ideal from the beginning. You want him as close as possible to the most inner line/circle to give extra room for mechanics. being too close to charge and his other abilities can easily wipe the raid
TyrantPox The positioning distance you guys have at 11:45 is pretty much what we keep throughout the fight from the beginning. I guess I can give the guys a bit more room until then by doing the same as your video. I just hate changing boss pattern, especially so late in the fight.
I think the time stamp you mentioned is the exact distance that we have at the begining just from a different angle lol. Umm We could be slightly more in though i guess. but yea towards the end of the fight it gets pretty crowded haha
My static started using your guide last week. Much easier for us. Unfortunately we wiped many times at 1% lol. Hitting the enrage time or simple mistakes. But last night we got our first kill. So thank you very much. Your guide was very very helpful. Looking forward to the next turns.
So after you tank swap, do you just have the new tank stay there, or do you put the main tank back in after the Charge? Right now my static is having me, the War off-tank, build minimal aggro on the boss after swapping after I get hit by Heat Lightning when there's a Charge immediately after.
you should be pulling first and MT'ing. Warrior MT and PLD OT does the most damage. But to answer your question haha. when the OT gets hit by heat lightning and you swap. Just have the new tank keep the boss until the next tank tank swap if needed. Less movement this way
Quick Question. What would be an accurate guideline for hp for FCoB? I hear different numbers. Specifically Paladin because I'm not sure on that class. Thanks a bunch if this gets answered!
Philip Livingston hey phil! before echo i ran with pld at 9-9.2k in party/food. Warrior would be 10.3-10,5k in party/food. echo will make it overkill haha
my group are having difficulties with wild charge with cyclonic chaos, we only have 2 range dps 2 melee dps,since the chaos random,how should we assign people for it?
Chaos will go off first have that person stack in mid then range stack with them while everyone else is out. three people split should be fine. Then have the rest stack for charge. Although you may to make a slight adjustment if a range is targeted with chaos
I have a question xeno, he cyclonic halos is the only hing killing me right now, my party was stack up on the tether person but for some reason afterward there is a thunder zap us why we got the rebuff on us after sharing it, is wipe for those who share it, how could this possible?
When he does heat lightning and Cyclonic chaos you have to spread out and wait for heat lightning to come down, then go in for cyclonic chaos. cyclonic chaos will put a stack of vulnerability on everyone it hits, so if you already had one it will kill you
i see, so basicly we for those people who receive heat lightning must stand at the edge 1st, wait for it to wear off, then walk in to cyclonic chaos?i got the idea now, thanks:) last question, so during cyclonic+charge, how many people should stack with chaos and wild charge? we always seems to die at there, especially the one who got blue marked. was healer suppose to ss and mitigate it?
no for Heat lightning and tether, The people that got hit with heat lightning must stay out and everyone else except MT collapse on tether person. As for Tether and charge, you need like 2 people with tether to stack on tether THEN they get out of mid and everyone else stacks for charge OT must be first in the line
Xenosys Vex Well... Now that's a bit depressing^^ And they didn't have crafted gear full with materia? Because my static really doesn't know what to do, we have a huge lack of damage and our dps is not good :/ Any advice maybe?
Yea we pretty much just went in the night servers came up haha. What is your dps comp? My group is actually switching our comp. We had a BLM, SMN, BRD and DRG. But we are going to switch to ,NIN,NIN,BLM/SMN,BRD. Dragoons are really bad dps at the moment that dont contribute much to the group. Its not the players though its the class. And its really unfortunate. Also do you have any parses saved? I might be able to look and see the numbers to determine the problem
We have raid tomorrow, I will be able to send you some parse saves then. Very kind of you though^^ Our dps compilation at the moment is 2xBLM, BRD, SMN although we will change to NIN, BRD, BLM and SMN as soon as my bard and someone's ninja is equipped well enough. Edit: In my very own opinion (aside from my raid members'), our current compilation is the reason for our lack of dmg :/
Ok cool, yea ill definitely take a look! We actually ran into a couple of extremely tight DPS checks in FCoB which is why we are changing it up as well.
in your OBS in the sources box you can add ACT mini parse via "window capture" just make sure to right click "show mini" in the act to lock your mini parse window so it will show up in your drop down box when you select which window to capture :D
Yea im gonna keep rocking 30 vit spec until I get Two more pieces of left side. I believe I am at the HP threshold now which is around 10,500 hp. Nothing should kill you with this much health.
Please make more guides. Straight to the point, informative and easy to learn from. Nice job.
Most appreciated!

Xenosys Vex Thanks man, really appreciate it. Keep doing this for the community. Really great!
Hi, may i know the programme you are using to track the dps? :D
haha sure, Go here: th-cam.com/video/GZil3F2hUFk/w-d-xo.html

Do your dps already have some ilvl 130 gear? If not, what kind do they have? Because the dmg they deal... Unbelievable^^
Nah not in this kill. The highest that someone has is the 120 shiva bracelet. :P
and thx! haha
Xenosys Vex Well... Now that's a bit depressing^^ And they didn't have crafted gear full with materia? Because my static really doesn't know what to do, we have a huge lack of damage and our dps is not good :/ Any advice maybe?

nice guide bro any chance i could get that parser :P
yea man sure! Its called ACT here is a guide on how to install it :D
Xeno's "How To Install Advanced Combat Tracker" for FFXIV: ARR
I HAVE THAT :O and now after watching i got it setup thanks bro! may i also ask how you record? my OBS doesnt show the parse :(
in your OBS in the sources box you can add ACT mini parse via "window capture" just make sure to right click "show mini" in the act to lock your mini parse window so it will show up in your drop down box when you select which window to capture :D
TyrantPox Ok i got it bro!! thanks for your help!!
awesome! and np haha

As always, a very thorough guide. Congrats on the clear, but your drawings need work, lol.

Looks like you went back to bit stats for this. I see you're in the 5-digit club !
Yea im gonna keep rocking 30 vit spec until I get Two more pieces of left side. I believe I am at the HP threshold now which is around 10,500 hp. Nothing should kill you with this much health.
