Bismarck Hard Mode/The Limitless Blue (Hard). It's not really tough. I was playing Warrior here.

For Tanks you pick a side, the left or the right. The right will eventually have to deal with two adds at once being one of the key differences. Typically most tanks I've encountered want the right side so..I end up with the left.

Also don't stand too close to the generator. The generator needs to be used when Bismarck is charging at the island to protect it and lessen the damage it'll sustain. If the island's stability fails you will fail the duty. Someone should man the generator typically though.

Also applying to everyone, you CAN fall off. So be careful not to. The line moves from the adds can knock you back so avoid them at all costs.

When the dragon killers are readied activate them ASAP or Bismarck will disable them. It can help to decide who will activate them before hand. The dragon killers are needed to get a chance to strike Bismarck's body. After you defeat the chitin phase 2 will begin.

As far as tanking goes here though it's rather simple until phase 2. During Phase 2 two strong serpent type adds spawn. It's typically best to DPS one at a time. These things do HURT so a tank stance is wise to be in. The healers in this video did quite an amazing job though so it wasn't too tough. Every other run I tried I absolutely had to use Inner Beast every time to lessen the big damage from the water cleave the add does. I also didn't have to pop every defensive ability here either.

So this isn't a hard battle but I think a lot does depend on the healers and people actually listening to the explanations of things in the party chat.

I am shocked though, I was trying to farm the card today and..I could not believe the amount of groups I ran into that couldn't beat this in the DF. It's weird it really isn't hard.
