A little surprised that you didn't mention the "eyes". Can't tell you how many times half of my alliance just dies because they don't look away whenever I'm in the daily roulette and I find myself in the Crystal Tower.
You know, I got this video all done, I uploaded it and was giving it a quick watch to get all the times for the time stamps while it processed and I was like "Oh $#%@& I forgot to put in the big red eye!" /rage It was even on my list! If I do another it will be the first one lol
I would just add to the "towers" indicator, there's not always a tower in the middle, sometimes it's just a yellow circle. Seems to have the same mechanics. And as you said, only ONE person needs to be inside these circles. More than one person just means more damage done to each person in the circle. Finally, all bets are off during ARR content. The indicators weren't standardized yet. It's very confusing to newcomers. A good example is Xande in Syrcus Tower. His "stack" markers are big purple clouds that look like something you want to avoid.
This video was VERY informative, and couldn't have come at a better time! I just hit lvl 60 on Samurai and have now swapped to Gunbreaker :D Having a great time tanking in the game so far. Glad you're back makin vidoes my dude. Looking forward to more explanations of this zaney game ;)
10:40 Not certain if this is the mechanic you're referring to, but the first boss of Bardam's Mettle (lv65?) has a charge attack coupled with a tether that does more damage if you're closer to it.
Great job on your channel and content. Though I like the other channels that do these tutorials as well, they do miss some simple mechanics that some of us just don't get.
Just wanted to drop in and say hi! Your videos (particularly the Crystal Tower series) have been super helpful to a FFXIV noob like me. I have only been playing less than a month but I have already tanked over 30 instances including all 3 crystal tower raid wings. I know it's old content and can basically be cheesed most of the time but difficulty understanding mechanics has always been a reason for me to avoid instanced content. Not so in FFXIV, the great duty finder community and videos like yours have made me a better player and I really enjoy tanking instances now. Thanks for doing what you do! I appreciate you!

Thank you so much for this! Seeing it in slow motion is very helpful.

Yeah this boss will OHKO you if you're anywhere near him when he charges. Gets newbies every time.
lol I knew there was one. I honestly can say I haven't done Bardam's since well before ShB. It just never comes up in duty finder.
Big thumbs up dude... this comment is mostly for the interaction score.. love your work
