Regarding Ignis difficulties, on Tuesday along with the Buff to Ignis not being removed when Golems died, our OT was reporting that as soon as you moved a not-quite Molten Golem out its stack would drop. So get it to 19, Scorch fades or you move - 0.

Last night when Scorch faded or he moved early it started reducing 19->18->17 and so on. This gives a little more forgiveness. It's possible the difficulties people were experiencing were due to the vanishing stack glitch.

Sounds like the fix for his debuff issue may have just been a roll back to a previous build - namely one that had the melee his Crotch Pot target issue.

Question:
Looking for some insight regarding the Flame Leviathan fight and turrets (not Hard mode Towers). Did this on 10man - first few tries launched onto FL, killed a turret. Got raid emotes, but not sure if anything actually happened - he got an overload debuff but it never wore off and he was never stunned - unsure if there's supposed to be a clicky under the turret based on previous reports of an overload "button." Additionally, being on FL was a death sentence. Dismounting lead to death in less than 1 second. Staying on and targeting other turrets for fun lead to death when we killed him - explosion damage, knock up, fall damage.

Not looking for strategies and don't want to start a strategy discussion. I'm just curious about the turret/overload mechanic and if you're supposed to dismount and return to a vehicle.

I dismounted from FL and got killed, but it wasn't instant. It was my fault for not marking myself with a raid icon, and coordinating with a chopper driver to pick me up in advance.

Our MT did it from the other side successfully(obviously he has more survivability) by calling for a chopper to be ready to pick him up the instance he jumped.

I think you need to kill all of the turrets to stun him. At that point, he knocks off everyone and they parachute down safely.

I found it interesting that he also drops the shoulder tokens. If I'm not mistaken, that's the first time that an end-boss has dropped anything other than the "Big Three" (helm, chest, legs).

Speaking of tokens, now that everything has been cleared, which bosses drop which tier tokens?

The damage was transferring for us last night on normal. Seems like beating the enrage would be difficult if you were to just ignore the heart (at least for 10-man geared raids).

Our raid leader was feeling a little overconfident so he wanted to try XT-002 hard mode; our dps was a little slow and we didn't manage to kill the heart before the timer ran out. We did get it to 1 or 2% though and when the boss reawakened he was at 50% (down from 75%).

I think we had about 10-15 seconds of dps time before he exposed his heart again.

Guild didn't attack the heart for roughly an hour of attempts and was always roughly 35% behind on good attempts. After starting to attack it, we eventually killed it.

We didn't realize the heart damage passed on to XT for a good hour or so of attempts and so only a couple of the melee were attacking the heart a bit. We got him down to 1% this way. As soon as we realized what we were doing wrong, he died the next attempt.

I think the fight is tuned fine if we can nearly kill him without even using the heart mechanic in our Nax gear. On the plus side, I'm sure that practice will help us when we try for hard mode.

We tried Ignis for a while last night and I think we've generally got a handle on the fight - so I'm not looking for general advice, just trying to ask a specific question.


I know rooting works on the constructs. Does anyone know if Freezing Arrow does? (Odd that it would work inside a flaming scorch pillar but hey, chains of ice does). It seems like it would function as an adequate root assuming you could still stack heat.

Yeah, we had no idea heart damage transferred over doing our 10-man, but we actually managed to kill him with 10 seconds to spare (with full 25 man gear, that is). So, it's certainly possible to kill him without heart dps if you overgear it significantly. We learned this overnight and in our 25-man DPS was significantly easier once we were getting the heart to sub 30 percent each open-heart phase. The hard mode, however, looks like it'll probably shape up to be one of the hardest ones.

It's possible that bosses will drop any of the token types, and not just a specific token.
