I figured as much, in most the fights so far, transitions have always been the points where groups were most likely to mess up.

Ingame GM support is all over the place. Depending on the request I've had help immediately and delays of a week.
SE support has always been hot garbage. I've coasted by so far because I haven't needed them for anything. The GMs are too busy giving people bandaids over their hurt feelings about being made fun of in /shout for pulling a hunt too early or something.

With 1 tank I'd question how they were getting 2 dragons.
Sure. Just giving that as an example of a bad transition.
Edit: I've seen some 1 tank groups that still push 5+ Meteors. Bad DPS are bad DPS :x
Most DPS in this game, aren't getting anywhere close to their DPS ceiling. With Pugs, you just kinda have to hope that they're closer to their ceiling than their floor.
Some are in the basement.
Ruin II for days.
T9, really, REALLY should have had a mechanic that absolutely, positively, FORCED two tanks. Hate how few PF's out there ask for two tanks. Also, it's a shame they don't have anything on the more casual side of the game, that penalized people for not using a proper rotation. I dunno, they need training dummies that read your ilvl and give you a score when you're done whacking away, or something.

At first I tried them with both the AF weapon and an unmelded Artisan OH. I was coming up a little shorter in progress then i wanted, so I had to go ahead and meld out the OH. I believe the difference between AF and Supra is 42 craft/22 control, so I'm pretty sure I was at 409 craft/385 control. Actually didn't take too long believe it or not!
It's called Savage
Ravensblight was originally intended to be a tankswap and claws as well I think but who cares about that
I tend to just score myself when I'm done whacking away.
I'm generally disappointing
Ravenblight should have probably caused infirmary, if not hit like another beak all together.
Not sure what the fuck I just wrote
In T9 Savage blight explosion puts vulnerability up on the tank it was on.
Yeah edited it, meant the original fight not savage, just somehow wrote savage instead /shrug.
I realize, but they're mechanics that can be ignored relatively easily if people are on their toes. Thankfully, I think the devs now realize that this player base WILL go without a second tank if at all possible, and are paying closer attention to this....
....That said, Shiva can still be single tanked. <_<;;
They blew all of their cool two-tank ideas on T13.
I was commenting like I would comment on any post someone makes.
The ignoring thing is getting funny, especially in game. There was two recent moments.
1) I joined an S Rank PFer and Tia actually left just so he wasn't in the same pt as me for a 2 minute fight lol
2) I was in Mor Dhona heading to Aurianna when he was jumping around and actually stopped when he saw me and ran away like I was the boogey man lol
Just weird.
I realize that. XD
Shiva, like Leviathan, was/is meant to be farmed by everyone whom happens to be up to date with the content. So the DPS checks are relatively soft, and well geared tanks and good healers can just heal through the debuffs.
I still prefer multi-tanking that though. Requires a bit more coordination because of the addition of tank swaps, but it's more fun when it's done right. XD
Needs more tanks.
I'm not good at math, but 2 tanks, plus 2 healers plus 3 dps = 7. what happened to the other?
To be fair, your party is more closely geared for handling T12 at this point. I mean, that's in addition to your DPS all being near/at their class DPS ceilings.
Heck, I think Bookey might be on the roof at this point.
Was a straight up carry.
When I do T9 race car as Monk, I don't even need to Invig for the following golems. I've always naturally gained back enough TP during the run to finish out the phase, and hit full during Megaflare.
Therefore, I feel like
Can be classified as another Tale from Nuadha's Butt.
XTECH DID IT?!?!??!
Come back. Pls.

This is probably why I don't get much T9 practice, everyone wants to do single tank and that always ends in massive failure. Plus the dps never seems to be that much better...=/
Admittedly, all the race-car attempts I've been in have failed for one reason or another. (Usually because of a DPS popping sprint before Invigorate, and not getting the full sprint duration.)
I still don't like popping sprint and blowing all my TP though, especially as Tank. I'm willing to do it if there's a bard or ninja around, but I still don't like it. I absolutely HATE leaving TP regen up to either time or the whim of other players to fix.

Do you hate using weaponskills as well because it reduces your TP from full?
You had me check. Between meteors starting to drop and second batch of golems becoming targetable there's full 30 seconds. That is 600 TP available.
We'll give you a free carry if you come back.
need to make that money for crafting gear somehow
Even if you don't need TP for the next 30 seconds?
And that the next Golem phase will conclude before you can even spend it all?
I'd have to know that for a certain before using said 1000 to 0 drain weapon-skill, and there would have to be a suitable payoff to using it. (a 100 potency off GCD skill for example, wouldn't be worth it in any circumstance.)
Incidentally, a thought just occurred to me. Are Ninja sprint speeds the same as everyone else, or faster? If the later, do they have to slow down if they're doing the race-car method?
Silly question, but I don't have much experience with Ninja's yet.
