Ffxiv Stone Vigil Hard Unsynced

So yeah, like the title says.
On my Stone Acuity run the PT gets to the second boss, charges in and sets in to burn it down. The fight is easy enough. Grab the boss, turn it abroad from the cannons, lookout man the twisters, and burn off the cannon Isgebind lands in front end of. Easy peasy, except information technology isn't when I'thou the 1 manning the cannons. I've e'er had issues with the cannons.

So here's my problem and mayhap someone can clue me in on how to practise this better. The fight is raging on by the door. I'm nuking away while keeping an eye on the cannons behind me. Message saying Isgebind appears flashes on the screen. I see the damn dragon first to come downwardly and immediately motility to the cannon in front of it getting there at the same time. Mouse over the cannon waiting for the manus icon to appear to utilize the cannon. Wait for it. Expect for it. Waaaaiii ~ hand icon appears! Click the cannon right away only to have the cannon fire the same time Isgebind attacks.

No thing how quick I motility I tin can't seem to go the cannon to burn before Isgebind attacks. I can't effigy out if I'thou just not moving fast enough or if I'grand running into some kind of filibuster from lag. I want to say I'm running into a delay with the cannon because of how long it feels like I accept to wait for the manus icon to appear to be able to collaborate with the cannon. If I try rushing information technology and mash the button to click on the cannon I stop up interrupting the action and it takes even longer to burn off the cannon.

Any thoughts?

Otherwise, bated from a couple adds from patrols due to bad positioning, the rest of the run went by by and large smooth. Even Isgebind went down quick and was easier to deal with than the 2d boss. We cleared the dungeon and I was unfortunately the only death due to getting caught between 2 twisters while trying to utilise ane of the cannons on the second dominate.
I could be incorrect but I'one thousand pretty sure he ever gets off one attack. You only want to knock him abroad before he causes more damage, information technology'southward not difficult to heal through. If your healer was struggling information technology was probably because he was distracted healing someone who was taking more damage then they should exist, likely due to twisters.
This. He'll always gets off one attack equally he lands. The purpose of the cannons is to foreclose him from continuously littering the fight with attacks, wracking up even more harm, and wiping the group quicker. The flim-flam to this really relies on the political party itself, and non simply the person on the cannons. The play a trick on to this fight is quite unproblematic: Tank does what s/he's supposed to do while avoiding twisters. DPS keeps nailin' and burnin', while also avoiding twisters. Healers does nothing but heal. No DoTs or any of that. Just heal. And dodge twisters. If all people in the party become hit a few times, that healer should be popping off Medica to go on everyone upwards, and and then going dorsum to unmarried target healing.
Merely yes.. Isgebind will e'er gets i attack off each and every time it lands. Hope this helps, mate.
Helps if the tank is tanking near the entrance of the room. That fashion they don't have to really contrivance any twisters. I like going SCH for that dungeon because I can allow me pet heal while I dps and man the cannons only that's more than for avant-garde healers I guess?
Okay, cheers guys. I knew you lot had to utilize the cannons to continue Isgebind out of the fight but thought information technology was possible to get the cannon to fire earlier he got a shot off and that I was just really bad at it. Never occurred to me that that was the way SE intended the fight to be. Now I just gotta piece of work on not playing in the twisters. XD
Yes, tanking almost the door is the ideal manner. I don't accept my SCH upward high plenty for Rock Acuity, but that's the same approach I'd have. Information technology's substantially easier if your properly geared as well. Tossing the occasional heal out here and there if a few crits manage to sneak in.
I'grand pretty certain (??) you can get him with a cannon before he fires even ane attack... Totally forget now...
Merely fifty-fifty then, those shouldn't be hard to heal through. If ppl stand in the twisters though... Information technology's a different story.

It will ever get off one little AoE that is minimal damage. A medica or succor should easily keep the party back to full. The AoE doesn't do much damage. The only genuine trouble that fight has, like Hermes stated, is the twisters. Though even if you lot derp with them, healers tin can cleanse, so it'south forgivable if they get the debuffs off speedily.
When i am healing, i would unremarkably avoid the cannon chore. Ranged DPS seems ideal for the job as they can stand pretty close to the cannon while firing at the boss which is being tanked at the entrance. Healer tin stay kinda middle and just have to avoid the silent cyclones. They do sneak up from behind sometimes.
Ran the Acuity again and the healer chosen out cannon duty. Non one assault from Isgebind got off while the healer was manning the cannons. Then yep, I'm thinking this might exist more a affair of reaction time and connectedness speed at this indicate. Guess I just gotta get "gud". On the bright side, I was able to continue from tap dancing in the twisters that time.
healers tin totally grab the cannon, simply SCH is ameliorate for this as Eos can near solo-heal up until D.Darkhold (lvl 44 dungeon). Cheers for confirming the timing issue... i was pretty sure I'd done this in the by without the uber-dominate getting off an assault.
When I heal it I man the cannons, but there's no mode to activate it before the AoE goes off, considering the cannons don't get agile until the attack starts... Sounds glitchy

I'g with @GeekMatt I usually human being those cannons and I am commonly spamming Ten at those cannons then that the 2nd they go active I collaborate with them. I've never done it then no attack goes off. I e'er idea I had a good connection and then I'm surprised people have managed to do it without an assail.
I don't fully remember... It'south been and so long!

I'm sure it has happened before. Maybe there was a time filibuster for the dragon to start its attack or something?
I've never manned the cannons in SV because I've just ever gone as tank or heals and if I'm healing I'd rather have the DPS do it. I did arrive the habit of just dropping a Succor every bit before long equally I saw "Isgebind descends from the skies" though. Good ol' shield.
Why do and so many of you lot seem to withal run Stone Vigil then oft? ^^;

Alt classes? It's normal way, non hard. Fifty-fifty and then...you are required to run NM for storymode and then people might remember it, even if they lack a course that isn't to 50.
I personally got BLM upward recently and so I had ran information technology about a week ago.
Me and @praysolace are also function of FCs that help each other run things a lot. And so in my case I'd run information technology with a newbie, then soon afterward spam run it to level my alt (which I always do entirely through dungeons)
