And it ended up being pivotal for P3S.Ī: Jumping to something a little adjacent, tank balance in general, because you are very proficient with tanking, for years. And we’re actually making the choice to go White Mage and Sage, so a lot of burst heal potential.Ī: Yeah, that’s a lot of changes with this new group! Watching your prog, I believe your healers were Scholar and Machinist can burst heavier, and Bard relies on DoTs, so their damage is going to be a little lower. We’ll be pulling Machinist, for our ranged, simply because our ranged player doesn’t care for Bard, and he’s more proficient on Machinist, which also helps if you have a short enrage timer on an enemy. New Living Dead is great, and Dark Knight puts out a lot of damage. A lot of heal potential and a lot of shield potential. We’re gonna be running Dark Knight, and probably Warrior. But there might be mechanics, or our healers go down.
We’re gonna have to be clean when we kill it. And that’s not to say that you could corpse carry through something. However, when you’re pugging something for the first time, it’s easier to get uptime as a ranged player than it is a melee.Ī: That’s very true R: Strategies can be a little bit looser, without sacrificing damage, in addition to the potential. But we did have the option to run double melee. It’s on a completely new team this time around. We’re going to be running Summoner/Red Mage.Ī: Is this the first time you’re run double caster in your groups? Typically it’s double melee, right? I remember watching your prog and you were double melee then. We’re actually going with a double caster comp. Our melees are able to play all the melee, which is great. Eat food and review footage at the same time. Usually try to take breaks, so if you need to use the bathroom while we’re making diagrams, etc. Not that everybody has the time off to take, but we’ll be going on about 16 hours a day, sleep for 8 hours, go again, break throughout the day as we need. If it takes longer than a week for world first then it’s a really good fight. They said it’s going to be a little bit easier for statics, a little bit harder for casual players, so I presume we’ll have it complete by Friday is my hope. We’ve done a lot of training, running a lot of fights, consistency runs, familiarizing ourselves with mechanics, making sure we all know the names.
They’ve told us it’s going to be difficult. R: Alright, so we are waiting a long time, a couple of years in the making. Now, with it imminent, What are you and your team’s plans going into this new Ultimate raid? We thought we were going to get it in Shadowbringers. It’s my first convention back since Covid hit, and it’s been a blast nonstop running around meeting people, hanging out, a lot of networking, playing video games, a lot of steps.Ī: We’re gonna talk about Dragonsong War, because this is something that we’ve been waiting a long time for. How is PAX treating you today? Rin Karigani: It’s been a busy week. Anthony Lowry, : This is Anthony Lowry, here with the one, the only, Rin Karigani.
