The things we do for Cheese.

[TheForestSpirit]

I'm having a really hard time getting by this quest. I attempted to Solo it, that didn't go according to plan. Tried it again with a Party we were all getting destroyed very quickly and the slow casting time for healing spells wasn't helping the situation either.

Does anyone have any tips for this?

Well for starters, you should probably get a party together composed of people who aren't bad at the game, because no one should be struggling with Brayflox Normal. It would help if you said which boss you were having trouble with, though.

People keep kicking the Tank out and when that happens I end up taking a lot if not all of the aggro (I play Healer)

The Monsters there do hit a lot harder when compared to other dungeons.

[TheForestSpirit]

Oh as for which boss it's the large Dragon. It keeps getting its health back, total nightmare so it is. I'll leave it for tonight but if I don't clear it tomorrow with my main character I'll consider switching to my lv 60 Summoner to Solo it (I purchased lv 60 Summoner for Ruby Carbuncle)

That doesn't make sense. You can't kick in combat, so how would you be taking aggro?

[TheForestSpirit]

It wasn't during combat it was after we got KO and returned to the start. Idk it came up a Party member was dismissed or whatever.

I personally refuse to use the kick feature unless someone is going out of their way to be a ♥♥♥♥ and so far I haven't met anyone like that here fortunately.

Brayflox is always the first wake up call for healers and tanks.

Some players will just leave as soon as 1 party wipe happens, this happens more often for Brayflox as it the first dungeon where both the tank and healer need to be abit more aware of mechnics and know how their role.

Yet some still manage to miss it and enter cutter's cry and stone vigil with lv20-28 equipment even.

tank has to move it out of the green puddles it makes

Not really. It's just like any other dungeon and if the rest of the Party don't work together to keep the aggro off the Healer the Healer will find it hard if not impossible to play his or her role.

The Monsters just hit a little bit harder here but that's it.

If you play Dota, you kill Roshan for cheese.

41.

But yes, get better gear if you can. That's solves most problems.

41. But that wasnt my worst.

Aurum Vale - Healer is a SCH with 40ish gear except weapon at 28, Tank is not optimally geared either (38 to 42), insists on forcepulling large groups (4+) all the time despite me pointing out that he needs to givehis healer some breathing room if we mean to clear this. Luckily I was on MCH and could palisade and stun things (and give mp) to help us clear that.

Frankly the experience has taught me that many refuse to compensate for each other, much to my dismay as a mentor who refuses to drop groups no matter how hopeless they are and goes extra miles to lead parties if necessary.

I can top that.

Once in Sohm Al, I had a tank that was wearing a mix of dragoon, ninja and caster gear, along with one reeeeally low level ring and no necklace. Role-locking gear gets in the way of glamour, but at least 'tank is wearing a caster hat' is limited to leveling and 50/60 roulettes now.

And while I was leveling my alt, got to Sohr Khai. The tank (I am noticing a trend...) was wearing i200 gear, despite the game handing you a full set of i240 gear about four quests before the dungeon now.

I have such awful luck with groups that it actually became a running gag in my linkshell. When someone else was having atrocious luck with duty finder when I logged in, they'd joke that maybe the bad luck would go back to me.

I cleared it since posting this so everything's good. Found a great Party and we worked together to take that Dragon down.

I enjoyed playing it.
