The thing is, dispelling won't get that debuff off in the siren fight, you have to heal the person back to full health to get it off. It's an odd mechanic I'm not sure if you see in any other fights.

Really hope I can get down Twin before they apply the Echo nerf in a few weeks. It being on DF should help a little, since I'll be able set up learning groups almost immediately.
Guess it isn't the end of the world if I can't beat the nerf though.

Heh, I'm certain I could manage it, but I haven't really had a steady group to practice it with, and two weeks isn't much time to learn everything from the end of conflags to the rest of the fight. It's doable, but I'd need to spend a lot more time there then I have.
And, considering all the other content that will be vying for my attention. Well, I'll be lucky if I can get a good practice session in every other day.
EDIT: mind you, if I can eventually one shot the fight I think the Echo nerf can be avoided entirely. I'm not sure there will be much reason to re-run it though, mind you.
That's quite the accomplishment. T4 especially can be a bit of a headache. In my experience you either get it in the first or second try, or you spend ages spinning your wheels uselessly.
I mean, it's a real group dynamic check, so little things can completely derail the fight.
Edit: as an example, DPS going after adds in an order other than what was discussed Tanks burning TP and MP too hard early in the fight. Healers standing in the wrong spots for feeds. Tanks deciding to tank dreads in the center without telling the rest of the group.
Stuff like that.
You know the echo is optional right? You can click it off.
Middle is the better place to be because being hit by a rush is much better than getting the ticker for the charm debuff. I do admit, it is hard on the healers because even when you see exactly where she is when she lands, you need to be moving out of the way immediately.
I do, and I plan on doing so, but I can control what the rest of the party does.
So in preparation for tomorrow, the last day before the maint and patch.
Any advice for pugging T4? (for WHMs and DRGs) I know some groups tend to do it differently so just trying to be prepared. Going to pug T4 as much as I have to tomorrow for a win so I'll get lots of practice anyway.
(I have made it to phase 6 before so I at least know all the phases)
On a related note: What are people aiming to do tomorrow before the patch? Trying to down stuff you haven't downed or just capping myth/philo?

Doing Coil mostly. Will try to get some myth and as much philo as I can.
Going to try getting a friend past Ifrit Ex, do dailies, get more Myth and Philo, and try to run Pre-certification Pharos one last time.
Regardless of what people say about CT, im still gonna run it in hopes of snagging a tank body, and of course vanity stuff for monk.
Also maybe we should stop calling it CT since its not even inside the tower?
EDIT: I'm probably going to be "sleeping" in order to snag more bonus exp. Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls hits tomorrow, so after I pick that up, probably going to be on that for the next 3 days or so.

You gonna get rekt soon darkness. Get ready.
We will get them for you, even if it means running Turn 4 ad neaseum!
To do anything else would be a crime to humanity...and fashion. Mostly fashion.

all that loot you want will never drop. The curse is too strong. Maybe you gotta believe in that fist that burns red

It's loud roar tells you to grasp victory.... or loot.... or something? >_>;
Look what arrived in my mailbox, a day early!
Edit: And the liner notes contain lyrics! After stiffing us on them with the FF Type-0 soundtrack (and saying "too bad" when I e-mailed SE asking about them), this time they've included some of them. Titan, King Mog, Thunderer (2 lines), Dawn of an Era (same), Maker's Ruin, and Fallen Angel too. I think there were more vocal pieces than this, but for now, no complaints!

G Gundam reference.
Of course. I'm just poking fun at it. =P
Shiny. I envy you. I want to get the soundtrack, but it's too expensive for me.Look what arrived in my mailbox, a day early!

Mine should be here tomorrow morning apparently.
O cruel fate: my Mac won't play this Bluray disc. The PS3 will, but now it's oging to take some finagling to get this music over to my phone.
Don't you live in the US? I live in Japan (as you can guess from the amazon.co.jp shipping label), and mine is the Japanese disc, with liner notes almost entirely in Japanese. Is it a worldwide simultaneous release?

I live in the US but I ordered from CD Japan so it's a Japanese copy - they just ship out early most of the time.
Ugh, I'm jealous!Look what arrived in my mailbox, a day early!

I ordered from CDJapan, as well, and they shipped my copy on the 23rd [EMS]. Given past experiences, I should receive it in the next day or two. Sure, I could have went with SAL Small Packet...but I didn't want to wait for that.
As for transferring the music over, don't worry. If it's anything like the Before Meteor OST [which I've read it is], in the options menu for the Blu-ray there's a URL that you can enter on your PC which allows you to download MP3 versions of the entire thing. 320kb/s quality, too.

Yeah...I should order that soundtrack pronto...
I must be missing something, because the PS3 is giving me a "local" URL (192.168.x.x) and when I try to load that address in my PS3's browser, it gives me an error message. The Mac, which is connected to the same router as the PS3 and should be able to "see" it, can't load this address either.
Listening to it on the PS3 is OK for now -- each track brings up some beautiful artwork from the location where the song is played, some in-game, some development art -- but eventually I'm going to want to listen to this a little more easily.
That's the URL you find under the options menu of the Blu-ray, right? If so, that should be the URL you enter on your PC and, it should, give you the option to download the songs to your PC. I'm not sure why it's not working for you, perhaps the link isn't "live" yet? I mean, the album was just released today.
It should work, though. The listing for the OST even states that you can download MP3 versions of the songs.

さらに携帯プレイヤーへの転送が可能なmp3ファイルも320kbbsでリマスタリングを施し、徹底的に音楽クオリティに拘った作品。 Yeah, the official release date is tomorrow so maybe they're just not ready yet. What's confusing is that the URL that they give, being a local address, could be construed as them wanting your PC to read the stuff off the device that the blu-ray is in. While my ideal is to rip them through iTunes, I'd be happy to download them from SE even if it takes some time.

90k's out the wazoo...I forsee issues in Coil later today.
Maybe I have horrible luck but this level 35 FSH quest is stupid. I've gone through so many fish, lots of HQ ones at that and I have yet to see a single Desert Catfish. 100 bait used later, not a single one.
