RGTS has 3 different type of attacks (4 if you want to count bump damage as another attack), each with different damages. The weakest being when you hit them from afar especially in the case of NL, BM, MM, Sair, etc any ranged job will force the boss to use that napalm missile attack which is the weakest skill it has (it does somewhere between 7.5k-8k dmg). The rushing charge attack is slightly stronger than the missle attack but does something like 8-9k I think (I've forgotten now since its been a while since I've been hit by this). The last attack he shoots a little slow orb at you (I believe its weak too but rarely does it). Lastly if you bump into the boss you take 18k damage, this part is what confuses everyone. I don't know why the bump damage is so much ridiculously higher than the rest of its attacks but it is. If all you need is 8k hp to survive a hit from this boss than NLs can do this easily with hb or decent hb, I've even tanked hits with only 8k hp before on my DB, no big deal. I've actually been able to tank all of its attacks with around 9.5k hp (not counting bump) on my DB before.
I'll agree with others that they did nerf this boss too much. I'm gonna lose my joy of running around the boss with my invincibility frames dodging hits while I'm trying to solo it. It was quite fun to solo RGTS with no puppet skill in play 1v1.
Oh really, thought his rush did 18k. Bah, but nvm it is not an issue anymore, or ever again.
