Was it really necessary to hide all the names? It's pretty much impossible to make out what is happening.

Sorry, just trying to respect privacy.. We had 2 pugs this time around... But yea, as others have said, Twintania enraged, the battle log said we all got hit (but some got hit earlier than others apparently) but we still killed her and the cut scene played and we emerged all alive.

I can count 8 people getting hit. Thus, a whole party :)

This isn't a name and shame or anything. I don't see in the subreddit rules that all names must be blacked out.

Anything with so much as a hint of a name in this subreddit is instantly called a witch hunt.

This happened to me on Excalibur server before! Pretty much the effect went off and the damage values read in chat and EVERYONE in the party died instantly except me, who delivered the killing blow I guess at the exact same time, so the game left me standing victorious with a bunch of dead team mates. :D

Nailed it!

Nice! You literally were the savior! That's much closer than our fight because we all lived.

Congratulations! :D

Thanks!

Thanks!

Not T5, but I've had it happen more than once with Allagan Rot on T2. Feels real good to see everyone dead but one last member (the damage kills each player at a time, not all at once) and the cutscene playing in.
Very good job, congratulations !

Thanks.., I just think back to earlier moments in that particular fight... If I hadn't casted bio/aero earlier... If so-so had been just 1 second slow on an ability... The timing just shocked me.

Happened to us on Titan as well! He hit enrage and then died right as he was casting his enrage spell! XD
Grats on the win!

We had a kill almost exactly like that. She enraged, PLD and Warrior hit CD and survived long enough to either hit her a couple times or wait out the dots ticking. Pretty epic lol
1
Just think, if that SCH was using Selene instead, it wouldn't have been so damned close.
1
I've never seen her enrage before. Does she just cast it instant or is there any warning? Just thinking maybe you could actually survive it with standing in the necklaces + tank LB ^^

The warning is that all the neurolinks get removed. Then she casts it multiple times until everyone is dead.

Blue flash like when she casts at the end of Snakes.

She cast it a how ever many times it takes to kill the raid. You could probably take a few hits with tank LB, but she only enrages when you don't so enough damage to kill her in 13 minutes. So yeah might want to have a melee LB.

Yea, we never had any enrage on her so I was just wondering. I rather not have the enrage happen on us :P

May I ask, do you guys single or double tank? Only reason I ask is I'm surprised you guys have never enraged. We have full ilvl 90 DPS (besides a BLM who swears by his penta melds accessories) and we still see it. Though normally only if a DPS dies during the last 2 phases.
1
Dual Tank. I never timed it but we have never had an enrage. We have BLM, BRD, DRG, SMN as DPS. We also had people dying during last phases.

Your BLM is doing it wrong if he thinks penta-melds are better than straight INT throughput. This is of course assuming that he's getting enough Accuracy elsewhere (either by food or gear).
My group has never hit the enrage on either Turn 4 or Turn 5, which we've been clearing for 6 and 4 months, respectively. We've also always used two tanks. Our set up has been both:
WAR PLD | SMNx2 BRDx2 | WHM SCH
And:
WAR PLD | BLM SMN BRD DRG | WHM SCH
I swapped to BLM when 2.1 was released, and our 2nd BRD plays DRG on Turn 5 for additional limit break growth.

We have full ilvl 90 DPS as well, and we've never seen the enrage either, even at one point where half our party was dead and no one had a swiftcast raise available. Here's one where our tank DC's during snakes, and our top DPS dies at the start of twisters. The DPS gets raised late and dies again, making him next to worthless until a few minutes later: http://youtu.be/lCdJ-KNFoK4

I've done 2 tanks and never see an enrage too

I have absolutely no idea what's happening here. Could someone explain it?
They hit the enrage timer on Twintania and she did her one-shot ability, Profusion, that hit them all for 8k~ damage, but they still managed to kill her! (With dots presumably)
Dots fade virtually instantly when the encounter resets. Usually this is caused by a WAR or PLD preventing death, or someone queuing up an attack just as they die, causing the server to resolve their attack first.
its not a one-shot, it ramps up in damage afaik :p
No, it's a one shot.
No, it's not.
If our WAR had used holmgang he might have lived long enough to secure the kill.
You're thinking Death Sentence. Aetheric Profusion is a 1-shot hard enrage.
