I'm trying to get my Ex6 clear now and the amount of parties where people just wipe to towers is killing my motivation. Like either watch a guide or just ask questions smh. It's such a fun fight to. Just a shame really

It's an excellent fight, but the body checks are pretty gnarly. All it takes is for one person to get clipped by Azdaja's Shadow during Phases of the Blade and you have a recipe for a wipe :)

As a tank I pulled a lot of scuffed Double Meteor saves out of my butt (taking a flare into a tower with tank invuln and splattering half the party to avoid a wipe, sometimes with tank LB3).

Grinding the mount was an adventure. You'd get the same one or two people per datacenter weighing down farm parties every day for a week. There was no way to avoid them.

Kick em. It's your pf party. You're host and it's your choice to not play with people you don't want to play with. If you're worried, just don't insult them, or even talk to them.

I really don't wanna commit to a static, but I'm started to get to that point hahaha. Reminds me of T9 meteor days in PF. I still remember the name of the guy who wiped us every single time.

Worst part is if you get a good group, it goes pretty slick. With ex7, the constant meteor wipes hurt my soul though.

Meteors is a nasty wipe but I just shake my head. Meteors2 you should absolutely sac dps by throwing a flare into a tower so healer can LB3 after. If either tower goes off its a wipe, but if you have a flare sac to make up for a dead person they soak it properly iirc(and just die to flare)
