WORLD FIRST - Cloud of Darkness (Chaotic) - BLM POV

[@GarnetDust24]

Thanks as always for the black mage POV!

[@pluto_time]

the fun thing about DT is that every time you set down ley lines i play a guessing game with myself whenever you have to move for a mechanic… it’s called “is eksu going to retrace these or is he going to use BTL 🤔🤔”

[@hazardyoutube1121]

[@Konokken]

How do you know which people go where for tower phase?

[@kunstlerischesetwas1284]

preassigned

[@wolframmm3]

like preassigned, each team pre-split into 2 4man-party with assigned locations

[@EksuPlosion]

@@Konokken we had alliance B + the ranged from alliance A and C in the middle. Everyone else split west (rest of alliance A) and east (rest of alliance C)

[@SyaitonFFXIV]

congratz

[@danielgeringer5277]

How do you see if you have to doge your hands forward or backward before the cast comes?  

[@shirane6162]

seems like its based off cast animation. holding crystal with 2 hands: fires behind you. 1 hand: fires in front.

[@esperiel]

When the boss gives you the debuff with tethers, watch the hand without the crystal. If she has it spread, your hands goes forward. If she keeps it close your hand goes backwards. I know, my explanation is terrible but you can check the vod to see what I mean

[@Mornelis]

Is she facepalms the crystal: dodge backwards, if she crushes it on the arena: forward

[@enolagranola]

it's quiet but someone was calling out back safe and front safe during tethers.

[@franzbraga]

The crystal with a heart inside is supposed to be the player - think of it like a curse. The heart (crystal) is you. If you look AT the cloud of darkness, the position of her hand around said crystal is the position of the hand that will spawn on you. So, looking at her, if her hand is "clutching" the crystal, it's going to spawn BEHIND you (move backwards). If her hand is "pushing" the crystal, it's going to spawn IN FRONT of you (move forward). Pretty much just imagine your character in place of the crystal, facing her.

[@DreyfussFrost]

Grats! And give Ophelia my thanks. 😎

[@keremenver2503]

Congrats!

[@toxicnoodle3142]

black mage guide eventually?

[@EksuPlosion]

[@toxicnoodle3142]

@ hype

[@cisco999]

AT 1:43 you said "stalking a knockback" what does that mean?

[@EksuPlosion]

"Stocking a knockback" - She casts "Enaero IV" or "Endeath IV" which triggers Aero IV ( a knockback from center) or Death IV (a pull to center), after one of her cleaves.

[@ode-blu]

"WAIT IS THIS WORLD FIRST"

[@mriv8954]

[@LosDiv907]

grats

[@StarMageAhmed]

Yo, GG!

[@TheManofyes]

Forgot your pixel this time bro

[@Natertot.]

No loot preview smh

[@NotTheWheel]

Congratamundo... bit disappointed it's only really two phases :/ I thought it was supposed to be Extreme+

[@Iamkitkatbar]

I'm more amazed that BLM is able to enter in the raid, all my parties blacklisted BLM

[@type_29rd]

Damn. Chaotic is already cleared on the first day. I was expecting at least a couple days for the first clear Also it's good to see blm pov, it's been a rarity lately.

[@omensoffate]

lol why would it take days. Its not really designed to be hard

[@type_29rd]

@omensoffate considering it's supposed to be alliance raid(savage), I thought it would be hard. Lol

[@nighttimestalker]

The main part is the middle stretch from what I've seen so far. So so much damage dumping.

[@nighttimestalker]

@@type_29rd Phase 1 and 3 are similar. 2 is when all the towers and stuff come in. And the phase just tossed damage like crazy. People drop in 1 or 2 hits. But if you can keep up and healers keep them going, and get to phase 3. Is just phase 1 but a bit faster

[@TellisTorterra]

​@omensoffate i remember hearing something about it being "closer to a savage than an extreme" But even then those get cleared within hours. And the difficulty of a savage or extreme varies from fight to fight, person to person
