Icy bitch: 30, Ditzy Blonde: 1 , FINALLY!

公開

OMG, I FINALLY did it, Shiva unreal is DOWN!

I think that was the hardest thing I have done in the game yet. Seriously, it was harder to achieve that then Memoria though BA might give it a run for it's money.

Funny thing is, the Shiva fight is actually not that hard to learn, it's very repetitious. It is that DPS check, oh GOD, the DPS check! It is sooooooo hard to achieve!

You can't have ANY slackers in the group; everyone MUST know both the fight inside and out PLUS their job for maximum efficiency.

Tanks need to know how to position Shiva properly. Healers need to know when the really big heals and shields are needed and time them properly. DPS's need to keep up their stacks and numbers.

There were soooo many failed attempts for this. People either did not know what to do for the mechanics or did dumb mistakes. People cannot die very much on this fight or it kills both the party DPS AND the healer's ability to keep up with the healing cause I am too busy ressing their asses and healing them afterwards!

I know people might disagree with me, but I believe a White Mage is needed for this due to the MASSIVE amount of AOE attacks that happen near the end. if you can't throw out lots of AOE healing in a short time, the party will drop at the end and you will fail. If you are a healer and you cannot handle the stress of being responsible for the whole party's success or failure, don't try this fight!

See, what makes the end near enrage so hard it that throughout the fight, Shiva keeps growing in power so all her attacks get stronger and stronger and hit for lots and lots of damage.

Near the end of the fight, I used all my super stuff to keep everyone going, Temperance, thin air, confession, all my lilies, assize, presence of mind, cure 3's out the wazoo, you name it. and STILL the tanks fell. Yeah, I tried to keep them up, but my MP got so low that I could not and first one fell, then the other from the tankbusters. Luckily she was almost dead so one of the DPS's took tanking duties until I could res one,while everyone else went full out with everything they had to kill her. I'm honestly surprised the tanks fell since there was SO much AOE healing going out, she must have been hitting them REALLY hard. :O

Honestly it was amazing that we did it with the tanks down, I was SURE that was the end. :O But luckily that was the time where Shiva did no really nasty stuff, so it gave us the breathing room to finish her off.

But hey, I ain't complaining! I beat Miss Icy pain in the ass, AND as a healer, YAY!

Finally, protip: When the big circle AOE comes after the ice and before the bow, do NOT move from the middle, just eat the damage from the middle circle. You are most likely going to get hit anyway if you try to follow the circle paths and by just staying in the middle, your DPS does not get interrupted and it is MUCH easier for your healer to AOE heal everyone through the damage. Plus you are set up to deal with the bow afterwards. Doing it this way made a WORLD of difference compared to other runs.

:O Congrats Anna! Well done!

To be honest, I was rather doubtful you could do it, because I had also heard that the DPS check is not so trivial, and Anna usually does not focus dps from what I know. However, I am quite happy to be wrong. Well, now you too have the experience of struggling against a frigid b@%#$ with a tough DPS check, muhaha!

While I do not heal, I just want to say that if you feel the healing is hard, the party should support you too. After all, healing and mitigation are also the responsibility of tanks and dps, just as dps is also the responsibility of healer. All tanks have a mitigation they can put on the party and reprisal, ranged physical have a 10% mitigation, casters have addle, and if they are not using it, they should swap it!

Siglinde Skysworn

You can always ask the party to use some mitigations at spots you find tough to heal. I try to guess, but my guess is not always correct., haha.

Besides, what are those tanks doing? Are they swapping properly?! You know, hearing that it is hard, I now want to try it more and see it for myself.

Oh the tanks were actually very good in this party. They were positioning Shiva properly for the various mechanics which made it easy to heal them and the party mostly. We just failed because of dumb mistakes basically and in this one, dumb mistakes = wipes, especially when they are at the end.

In fact, the only issue we really had was inner and outer position for hailstorm. It is VERY easy to get turned around in the heat of battle and end up in the wrong place. You gotta watch where you are

Improper hailstorm positioning is the biggest threat of multiple deaths, well that and improper bow facing. You screw up hailstorm too much and it's pretty much a failure, and god help you if the healer falls! :O

But for this one, the party finder leader knew what he was doing, had good strategy and dedicated people that knew the mechanics and were willing to stay till we did it. It took one and a half full runs to finally dial it in and do it. Yeah, we screwed up a bunch. LOL But we DID it!

As for DPS, it was easy in the beginning to do it, but in the 3rd phase you stop doing it so much and focus on the AOE healing and keeping those tanks up. The tanks need to be alive to keep her positioned and the DPS's need not to worry about the hits to keep up their DPS. So it's my job to keep them both up in the face of all that damage coming in. Like I said, it's a BIG responsibility, and only gets harder the closer you get to the enrage. The damage eats through any shields really fast too.

As for migration, that might have been part of the problem with healing. Come to think of it, I WAS healing one tank an AWFUL lot compared to others I have healed in this at certain points. Maybe he was not using it too much.

As for the DPS's it was hard to tell. soooo many AOE's it's kind of hard NOT to take damage of SOME kind. ;p

All in all though, this instance was the hardest thing I have ever healed of all the things I have done in FF14.
