I'll be honest, part of the reason I enjoy watching your guides is the editing. The music choice and animations are just so well done

[@runasth]

Was not expecting Brute Bomber to flip me off before the fight even begins. Sounds exactly like something he'd do though.

[@rithli]

just remember: for every new pull in this encounter a referee bot dies for your sins Support me through Patreon for guides and more! ✨ www.patreon.com/joonbob ✨

[@OmegaOmni1]

Your guides are still top tier, I learned some greedy WAR uptime and I loved the first 10 seconds of the video. Good stuff joonbob!

[@KurenaiAmethyst]

YES!! Thank you so much for making this one! One of my groups has been doing these strats since the beginning, because we use the raidplan slides. But PF uses a completely different strat for Fusedown and Fusefield. I'm hoping that perhaps we'll see more raidplan (now can also be referred to as Joonbob) strats in PF soon. Either way, fantastic guides, as usual! :)

[@rithli]

thank you. it was the most common on aether PF early on, now you’ll see it uncommonly~occasionally usually during the early parts of the week, but isn’t complete unused.

[@KurenaiAmethyst]

@@rithli . Yeah. i keep telling people that SOME people on Aether do these strats. But it's wild to me that Primal & Crystal PFs do NOT use these strats at all. I remember back in Eden raids, there were lots of good variety in strats, like the three different strats for Light Rampant in E8s. And i know there were a few last expansion too. So i was kinda a little surprised that there isn't a more even split on the strats for M3s. :/ But yeah, my main static was excited about this video, and i always absolutely LOVE your guides. Sincerely appreciate all that you do, and hope that you keep it up!

[@gimak88]

Favorite things in this video besides the usual insane Joonbob polish: My favorite intro so far Knockback tower animations so clean its crazy "Random" boomdive and lariat naming structure (I always gotta remind myself about Infernal Spin -> Random Lariat) "He's still pounding" Perfect view of the amazing enrage Several carefully inserted melee greed tricks 11/10 video

If this guide doesn't have you looking for a referee to assault, you need to watch it again.

[@Rotomoo]

Things I noticed that differ from pf in Aether. 0:53 Octoboom Dive: MT directly under the boss, up against the wall the boss is on. M1 Left M2 Right OT south of the boss. All at max melee. For tanks, hit invuln when Knuckle Sandwich cast bar hits the i in Sandwich. That's it. Nice job and thank you for showing the pastebin strat over Hectors. As always keep up the amazing work! PF thanks you!

[@userbunny14]

also placements on the fusedown. I mean I'm usually melee so my spot I don't think would change with this either way, but it looks much different for ranged and healers. i am SOOO looking forward to failing this mech all over again because people can't get their strats straight *sarcasm* And fusefield. It's ALWAYS been TTHH MMRR CW from TN. Why can't people just stick to one way of doing things? If it ain't broke don't fix it.

[@Rotomoo]

@@userbunny14 im used to rmmr. Back in P8S ranged would get first spot during snake prio while melee got second. So party 2 is clockwise from A, so ranged 2 would get first fuse that applies to them then melee. Party 1 is NW ccw so ranged 1 would get first fuse that applies to them and melee second, which is how the video shows it.

[@rithli]

@@userbunny14 "Why can't people just stick to one way of doing things? If it ain't broke don't fix it." Might want to get your timeline straightened. The predominate strat since week 1 in NA partyfinder in Aether was using raidplan/shaba pastebin along with RMMR. What you're used to and are describing came after. Players were already sticking to one way until arbitrarily people decided to swap. By your logic there was nothing to fix to begin with but it was broken instead.

[@Darkstrawberry15]

@@userbunny14 MMRR fusefield? So M1 has to suffer with no positionals if they get long north? smh people don't realize that RMMR was the week 1 pastebin strat for a reason

Hello JoonBob, I just want to let you know that ive been using your guides religiously since edens promise days, and that recently in my static, one of my dps said that your guides are basically cocomelon for him

[@hextorm2]

Depending in the tank line up, you can invuln the first 2 TBs, share the 3rd, then invuln the last 2, my group dud it with paladin first then gunbreaker, the cooldown for the paladin comesback for the 4th buster

[@CervezaSanta]

With WAR and DRK you can invuln all of them but yeah for the rest I think you can do 1, 2, 4, 5 and share 3

[@Reddomi]

I am not sure about putting supports CW is the right call given NA PF predominantly uses 1A2 markers and supports CCW. It'll cause unnecessary confusion.

[@rithli]

it has been CW rotate from week 1 CCW is a very recent and arbitrary development in PF if anything that is the unnecessary confusion

[@Reddomi]

@@rithli That's opposite of my experience, actually. I did M3S week 1 and then did it on my alt on EU about...week 4? And it's never been anything but 1A2 markers with CCW. I assume it's to preserve G1/G2 but in the end whatever works, works. I don't mean to demean your guide btw! Always a big fan of them.

[@furen4962]

@@Reddomi i cleared Week 1 and onward aswell, it's always been 4a1 markers and support clockwise and still tends to be outside of a few niche groups I've been in on NA. The groups that run 1A2 are Hector groups, which I avoid like the plague

[@Reddomi]

@@furen4962 That's interesting, given even Yukizuri's week 1 guide contains 1A2 (though he recommends cardinals for it). I don't really know any other guides outside of it.

Mr. FreakyBob I applaud the cinematic release of the M3S Guide | Pickup Guide | Freakybob however I must say that because I could not get an early viewing at the Chinese Red Theater in Hollywood for this video, I have been kicked from my static Rainbow Sprinkles Sunshine. I will now develop an addiction to Schedule 1 Narcotics as a result of this tragic event. As I sit in this public bathroom stall, shitting and crying, this video remains as a constant reminder of my own failures that I will now place on to you.

[@kazahana9679]

If you or somebody else is logging, you can check in the log. Watch the log replay and look at everyone's positions when the cannons fire and you can see if somebody is out of position. The positioning is pretty strict regardless of which strat you use.

[@hmm_norah]

Thank you for fusefield with positional consideration, I cannot believe pf is doing it where M1 can be at the northmost point

[@mx4690]

Believe harder

[@BigChilla420]

​@@mx4690Even Hector himself says at the start of his videos "new or different strats will come out please adjust" I have to assume at this point it's not the haters putting him off making guides but people like you who stick to his Day 1 strat forever and put people off of raiding on PF entirely. This in turn puts the blame on Hector even though he himself says to adapt and embrace different strats.

It's literally one of the most straightforward savage fights with a reasonable dps check that does not allow many mistakes. Mechanics wise it is nothing compared with any previous 3rd fights (even p11s has a few much more logically complex mechanics that roadblock people)

[@Sammysnows]

idk how NA Aether do this way but apparently, everyone has been doing MMRR from N and CW for fuse field now since it just ignores what group you are

[@roselia55]

Where did the comment go discussing the difference between this strat vs Hector's? Did Joonbob delete it??? 😂 I'll be honest and say that Hector's was easier for me to understand and immediately helped reduce wipes in my static... like, aren't they both at the core the same and just solved slightly differently? People learn strats differently, idk why everyone is being so petty.

[@rithli]

if all the discussions going on are any indication i don't delete comments lol people can have their opinions and prefs i'm just depicting how these sets of strats are done

[@smrqunofficial]

The Hector strat was a blessing after the horrible PFs I saw week 1/2 using this strat

[@BigChilla420]

​@@smrqunofficialGod forbid we have options some of Hector strats are overcomplicated for the sake of overcomplication. Half of M2 can be winged with no set positions and no loss of uptime, the fight design itself isnt boring, Hectors strats are.

[@smrqunofficial]

So are Hector's strats too complicated or are they too boring? And if you want no set positions, then do you think Joonbob's strat with set positions is also boring? And if you want options then why hate on Hector for having different ones? To be clear, there's nothing wrong with having options, assuming they both have their own pros and cons. *This* option, however, is not very good compared to the alternative. Ultimately it resolves things 80% the same as the Hector strat, except during first fuses it crams both ranged together into the relative-south safe spot while leaving the relative-north safe spot empty for no good reason. Uptime is the same but the safe spots are smaller--it's strictly worse. As a H1 I was already ignoring this strat during week 1 and using the relative-north safe spot since nobody else was there. Hector's not infallible, either. Switching the birthday cake prio from RMMR to MMRR was completely arbitrary and only confused things during the week his video dropped. Of course, I don't think trying to switch it *back* to RMMR will do PF any favors, either.

[@icosado]

We have been doing these strats every week in pf since day 2 of the tier when we cleared.

The fact that you put the lone bomb north strat instead of Hector's semi-static shit increased my respect for you 100 fold

[@trolly1834]

Weird, where did the reply of a guy that was defending Hector and TN Fusedown go? And their original comment that was (rightfully so) calling TN Fusedown the superior strat vanished as well...

[@asatowolfe]

Hector's strat is pretty easy, though, since you only have 2 set markers you need to go to depending on who has short and long timers; same as this. But if my static had seen this method sooner, we likely would have preferred solving it this way to make it easier on the ranged/casters. Having the lone bomb North is an interesting method of resolving it.

[@Darkstrawberry15]

​@@asatowolfe I love how i only need to look at the bomb pattern and my fuse length to solve the mech...wait what? You're telling me I need to look at two different floor markers too?? But why?????????

[@asatowolfe]

@@Darkstrawberry15 The Hector Strat is easy, too, though. For example, M1/MT can look at the same two spots every time. Whoever has the short fuse goes to the first safe zone; then, the second long fuse goes to the other. It's not really much thinking involved with either strat; it just comes down to preference, really. There are set locations every time with both strats.

[@Darkstrawberry15]

@@asatowolfe Since you already need to look at the bomb pattern to find the first safe zone, why not just spread using the bomb pattern too? Isn't finding your spread markers and locating the safe zone at the same time just extra work?
