Maiming for drg
Scouting for nin
slaying for melee (except nin) accessories

Then youre okay Akira. Keep doing that
ripe hound
Cool

alright so for my sam, i go striking gear and slaying accessories
twilit arch
yep

Correct
The gear will tell you what classes it can be used for

Does Reflect grants Inner Quiet?
open ember
Pats Dark
ashen eagle
Should i be buying / crafting armors and weapons as i level up? Or Are the ones i get as rewards enough?
ripe hound
For crafters sometimes yes
fringe meadow
Hey guys, is it worth it to farm Allagan tomestones of poetics?
ripe hound
But yeah, for lv 50 gear it's definitely worth farming
However if you do all the Roulettes as your lv 50+ class, you can pretty much max poetics in 2 days
But I think a full lv 50 set costs more than 2000 poetics?
fringe meadow
Is there something similar for lvl 60?
fringe meadow
And how long does it take one to lvl from 50-60?
ripe hound
After you reach 80 you gain access to two new tomestones
Which are harder to farm
To be honest I don't really know
fringe meadow
Phantasgoria and allegory?
ripe hound
Something between the time of 30-50 and 40-50
Yes
I think it's only a bit longer than 40-50
fringe meadow
Mhm, also, there’s propably another currency for lvl 60/70 gear?
ripe hound
Nope, all poetics
obsidian patio
60 and 70 is also poetics
ripe hound
Poetics for everything under 80
remote lintel
poetics are used for endgame gear below 80
obsidian patio
Poetics is the defacto currency for previous expansion endgame gear
fringe meadow
Thanks a lot guys, you helped a bunch
ripe hound
Anyway I don't know if you unlocked Lv 50/60/70 roulette
If you did then do it
It gives a lot of Poetics
open ember
@ripe hound im late but Reflect grants you 3 stacks of Inner Quiet but only via first step
ripe hound
Thanks, I don't need to use Inner Quiet anymore after Reflect right?
open ember
no
agile laurel
no
ripe hound
Cool
open ember
u is good after you use reflect
ripe hound
Do you prefer Reflect over Muscle Memory most of the time?
fringe meadow
I guess the roulette is something you get at msq 50ish?
Im a Little behind with msq 😅
ripe hound
More like something you get once you unlock some Lv 50 dungeons
But you need to complete MSQ to get dungeons
Also don't worry too much about getting poetics gear until you finish MSQ
I see, thanks Wyd
open ember
♥
manic flare
what does cancelling the echo for dungeons do
open ember
meaning if you die you do not get a boost
ripe hound
You know the Echo power? The thing you get as compensation for wiping?
fringe meadow
Mhm, unlocked Wanderers palace by coincidence 😄
ripe hound
Yeah you can do it when you like
https://consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Dungeons
Here is a list of all dungeons
The ones with 
are unlocked as you do more MSQ
The ones with 
you need to go around the world and unlock yourself
fringe meadow
Yeah I’m using that already, thanks anyway
fringe meadow
Need to do the msq „the ultimate weapon“ to unlock more dungeons where I get rewarded with the tomestones
Which is a lvl 50 quest, so long way to go 🙆🏻♂️
ripe hound
Yeah
Take your time
If you are bored while doing MSQ, you can go take up another class/job and level it for fun or something
open ember
i should note when you finish base ARR you will get something called "main story roulette" which grants hefty EXP and 500 poetics
ripe hound
Oh yeah, there is daily Netflix Roulette
fringe meadow
ARR?
open ember
we call it netflix roulette cuz its long and you cant skip cutscenes
A Realm Reborn

Ah ty lol

Hey, i'm wondering what the stat prio for Monk is? Right now i'm focusing crit>det>dh.
ripe hound
Yeah, basiclly 2.0 / everything bellow Lv 51
open ember
ARR = A Realm Reborn
HW = Heavensward
SB = Stormblood
SHB = Shadowbringers
fringe meadow
Yeah I also leveled some classes, now I’m mostly curious about those coming with stormblood and shadowbringers
open ember
if that helps

@remote lintel Thank you

D: so many
remote lintel
it used to be 100 so
fringe meadow
Thanks a lot guys, really appreciate your help
wooden ginkgo
oh lol
ripe hound
kk take care Rob
wooden ginkgo
im barely playing the game anymore cause of these quests
open ember
@fringe meadow You get red mage and samurai with the purchase of stormblood and dancer and gunbreaker with shadowbringers
zinc orbitBOT
ripe hound
But yeah, since it's the first "end game post release", it's really long
wooden ginkgo
but im trying to get to hw cause everyone says its good
open ember
its nice
ripe hound
Yeah, it's understandable
remote lintel
the post ARR is the lead up to HW
wooden ginkgo
hopefully im close D:
remote lintel
it gets better
ripe hound
Which quest are you on?
ripe hound
lol
remote lintel
what bosses have you killed
wooden ginkgo
last one i remember killing was the leviathan
remote lintel
so you have like 3 and a half patches to go
ripe hound
Yeah, 3.5 out of 5 patches
ripe hound
But yeah, you can focus on the story more after finishing your next big boss
I think most of the interesting things happen after that
wooden ginkgo
oh ok
ripe hound
But yeah, the core of the Story is a JRPG story, so you have to go though the story one by one
The story gets good and HW, and gets really really good in ShB
But since ARR sets everything up, it's still worth reading

Hmmmh...
Do i have to empty my plot if i am to relocate to a medium from a small plot?
open ember
you only have to empty the plot if you have no intention of moving houses
or youre moving servers
relocation works on any size house
leaden ginkgo
What are some good ideas to do after you have finished MSQ and done all duties for the week? :3
little swift
try some of the sidequest stuff that unlock things
like hildibrand
or the trial series from each expansion
crafting/gathering
little swift
aim for a glam or cosmetic of some kind
crimson wind
Unlock dungeons
Unlock raids
Level crafters
Level battle classes
Go for relic weapons
List goes on.

What's the rough percentage of players who've cleared thr tier?
dry jolt
What non-soloable content can't be done with group finder?
little swift
Also can I get faux hollows if I don't do Ultimate content?
@ripe hound faux hollows doesn't include ultimate content, just shiva unreal
What non-soloable content can't be done with group finder?
@dry jolt anything from the current savage tier cannot be queued for by duty finder
or savage/ulimate/extremes in general
dry jolt
is that just harder modes of the same content or unique?
little swift
harder modes of content with new mechanics
dry jolt
Thanks
little swift
ultimates are the hardest in the game
dry jolt
do easier tiers have decent rewards, stat wise and cosmetically or mounts ? I know the harder stuff will have bigger numbers
dry jolt
nice, maybe this game can make me hate group content 0.00001% less 😛

just got to 50 sch, is it just me or does art of war do super mega damage

for me, i drew my inspiration from multiple youtube videos showing off their apartment
or you can just browse the player that open their apartment for public

Art of war does good damage
patent citrus
this is one of the video that i like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0_Ud9qSOjE&ab_channel=kayateia

do you need to have a FC house to get bonus like xp ?
faint flare
I believe so, as the Aetherical wheel is a furniture
obsidian patio
No
You can buy the actions from the grand company that your FC is tied to
Though grade 3 actions are only from aetherial wheels

there is no way to turn that off no
tidal yarrow
then how's possible that someones looking at me and it doesn't show my name
it shows nothing :x
it shows nothing :x

If you target them then it should say they are targeting you

yep, but it doesn't. and im sure they're looking at me
scarlet hinge
how to you control you pets abilities
faint flare
The pet abilities are your abilities
You command them to execute them
For Summoner, you do it via egi assaults, enkindle and devotion (and sic to an extent)
Scholar does it by whispering dawn, fey illumination, fey union. Fey blessing and Consoliation
scarlet hinge
how long is a real reborn
copper pasture
how do u play the ochestrial rolls
wispy parcel
depends heavily on how long you play a day
scarlet hinge
hours
wispy parcel
You play ochestrial roles in inn's or your house
obsidian patio
A week or two of casual playing depending on how fast your dungeon queues go and you reading dialogue/watching cutscenes
copper pasture
what about the people who play music in towns?
wispy parcel
Those are bard. They can play instruments
lavish vortex
I saw in PF some descriptions that say: tank achievement farming, what is that? Can you join only if you are a tank? Can someone explain in detail please?
wispy parcel
its a special action only avaible to that job
scarlet hinge
how many hours is a realm reborn
lavish vortex
By special action what do you mean? Like, you have to execute the action to get the achievement?
faint flare
Tanks get a mount after doing a certain number of instances
leaden ginkgo
I have a question regardin E1S, when boss casts Stratospear, if we're following the relative direction, the formation begins on the direction the boss dashes to, right?
wispy parcel
ARR is around 50-60 hours playing normally
leaden ginkgo
or on the direction it spawns?
lavish vortex
@faint flare by instances you mean duties? Any duty?
faint flare
5s and if you're doing boss relative, North is wherw the boss is and thats where you start your order
leaden ginkgo
where the boss is, before dashing? or after the dash?
I mean, before or after it disappears?
faint flare
Usually high end duties like raids, garuda EX is popular for the low level tank mount and omega stuff for higher ibe
Where the boss dashes to for Centuer charge
He'll go north or south after spawning the horses
faint flare
And wherever he goes is where north is
lavish vortex
Thanks, and Where can you find this achievements in game?
fresh lodge
No
leaden ginkgo
oik
fresh lodge
The boss can be either North or South
leaden ginkgo
so the formation starts where the dash ends
wispy parcel
main menu > Character > Achievments
leaden ginkgo
ok
fresh lodge
Its so the tanks and melee will always be closest to the boss
latent sluice
I'm aware that ARR vistas have time and weather requirements, but I've met those and stood in the exact spot, but can't get some to activate
is there something I'm doing wrong?
faint flare
Did you do the correct emote
obsidian patio
Some use a different emote
latent sluice
it doesn't even say I've arrived at the vista
obsidian patio
Then you’re not at the spot
crimson wind
How can I check my crit rate on FFLogs?
obsidian patio
The positioning can be very precise
latent sluice
how precise? because I'm even looking at an image guide
obsidian patio
Like less than melee range precise
crimson wind
I hit 9.6k on GNB and I'm not sure I'm good enough to pull that off in e6s so I'm thinking I had really high crit or something
obsidian patio
So 1-2 yalms
latent sluice
I've been up and down the entirety of the area it could be with no luck
obsidian patio
Which vista number?
latent sluice
it just ended at 5 ET, but it was #33
leaden ginkgo
hey does anyone know what the 1 with the block sign over head means?
it looks like a no entry or "blocked" sign
with a red one
leaden ginkgo
ah for the healer prob?
faint flare
Usually mean for if there's a mob you shouldnt kill
Not that people pay attention to it
leaden ginkgo
oh ok lol I was worried it had something to do with bad performance
faint flare
If its on a person
crimson wind
I've checked every tab of the parse and I've yet to see the crit ratr
faint flare
Usually means this guy is bad and probably just being dead weight and the healer shouldnt spend many resources on this guy
faint flare
If its on someone
leaden ginkgo
so that means I was doing poorly?
faint flare
Probably
faint flare
As tank?
faint flare
Probably poor cooldown rotation or being hit by too many avoidable aoes
leaden ginkgo
latent sluice
still trying to get vistas to work. Some do, some don't.
leaden ginkgo
I avoided most of the attacks that I could by boss
also my rotation seemed on point
little swift
still trying to get vistas to work. Some do, some don't.
@latent sluice if you're doing ARR ones, they have a specific time and weather window as well
KH we won't know for sure because we weren't in the instance with you
what you think is correct may not be fully correct either
leaden ginkgo
I don't get it what else does a tank need to do other than pull the boss away from everyone and take the hits and try not to miss rotation combos?
thorny bluff
Is there a way to avoid Titan's regular ground slam attack completely, or is it just mitigating its damage?
leaden ginkgo
I must be missing something
little swift
Is there a way to avoid Titan's regular ground slam attack completely, or just mitigate its damage?
@thorny bluff are you referring to mountain buster?
use a cooldown for it
faint flare
Tumults/stomps are room wide and need to be mitigated with mitigation skills or just healed through
latent sluice
Yep, I did say I got the time and weather correct. If I knew how to quote myself, I'd do it
little swift
if you're talking about landslide, you can walk away from that or arm's length it
thorny bluff
Okay, wanted to make sure I wasn't stupidly stnading in fire there
Are people getting trapped in the rocks a result of not doing nails, or IS it the nail for that fight? Because I didn't see much else that looked like a thing I was supposed to DPs when I could.
faint flare
That is the nail
Gaols are forced unless you have stupid dps to skip by basically ending the phase before they happen
leaden ginkgo
@faint flare how would they even tell if I was doing rotations wrong? there's a mess of numbers everywhere
Also I was avoiding attacks where I could
faint flare
Which won't happen when synced
Doing combos, using your off global cooldowns on cooldown, cycling defensive cooldowns so you're taking massive chunks of damage
thorny bluff
Okay, thanks a lot. That clears a lot up. I was really messing up with the fight. I keep forgetting LB is a thing that people can do, and everyone else seems to, as well.
faint flare
Ikr
little swift
moving the boss weird, not using your CDs correctly
not using buffs
etc etc
i'd not think too hard about it tbh
thorny bluff
If someone dies in rocks, can you not raise them? Someone died on my team, and they just disappeared from the arena compeltely.
leaden ginkgo
@faint flare so if they see a guy take more damage then he should be taking they switch to another target and mark them?
little swift
you're still early level
little swift
could be people messing around
faint flare
If you get knocked off in Titan you cant be raised
faint flare
Gaols wont make you ressable
leaden ginkgo
it only happened once so far
little swift
objectively thats incorrect
thorny bluff
Oh, I didn't know you could get knocked off. Seemed like it was just big damage AoE.
thorny bluff
Oh, the slow, obvious rectangle thing?
thorny bluff
oh, that explains why I never saw it happen.
leaden ginkgo
@little swift any tips on how to avoid this long term?
thorny bluff
Eh, I can understand that, the pressure and all that gets to people.
faint flare
Falling on titan is basically a rite of passage
It happens to everyone at some point
little swift
how to avoid using all your cooldowns at once?
just don't
how to avoid being marked?
leaden ginkgo
nono, I mean being marked
little swift
tahts not something people do all the time
its probably just some people trolling
and you're reading too much into it
also being vocal about stuff with party chat can help
saying, "hey whats with the target to ignore mark on me? is there something i can improve on?"
thorny bluff
Thanks again for being such a big help, Vinyl.
little swift
because we can't tell you exactly what those players you were with were thinking
we aren't them
leaden ginkgo
fair enough, I did try tho so it is annoying to see, I guess I just need to get gud
little swift
some things people tend to forget
using their damage buffs in trash pulls
thats a big one, they try to save them for boss fights only
leaden ginkgo
this was on the final final boss tho
but I was in front of boss the whole time
taking most of the hits
little swift
maybe they were just making your character easier to identify inside the chaos 
patent citrus
you got recording?
little swift
some mechanics are things other players don't want to be near
patent citrus
hard to tell from story alone
leaden ginkgo
that was my first thought but this other guy is telling me I was being singled out becuase I was shit
little swift
again we won't know and its hard to think too much about it
thorny bluff
If they're just gonna say you're bad, and they aren't gonna be specific, then they're probably either trying to troll you or are just being the big dumb and blaming a bad experience on you.
patent citrus
yeh, looks like report and blacklist material
just collect as much evidence as you can
leaden ginkgo
lol nah I just need to get better
maybe they're right and I'm shit
I am still a noob after all
thorny bluff
If you really feel like you were doing well, there's not much that can be done, and we can't give advice because we have nothing to give feedback on.
patent citrus
is it some savage/ultimate thing?
leaden ginkgo
no, just a 24 man raid
patent citrus
o_o
leaden ginkgo
I just started playing a few days ago in my defense lol
patent citrus
try to record your performance, post here maybe some people can give feedback
ripe hound
Does Teamcraft's Simulator / Macro Crafter automatically assumes the worse case senario?
Or does it just assume the Materia Quality status is always normal?
zinc orbitBOT
thorny bluff
ah, do people here do dungeon/trial run reviews here? If so, I'll probably need to look at that to try and find what I'm doing badly.
ripe hound
Yeah it's just an estimate
I can spam Hasty Touch and it assumes every single time it works lol
little swift
we've done clip reviews from what i've remembered seeing
but whole runs?
thats a lot of footage
thorny bluff
ah, so condensed to prime bosses, then?
faint flare
Aint nobody got time for that.jpg
little swift
if you upload your ACT parse we can look at it as well
but not everyone here is a pro at every job
so a lot of stuff might be pretty basic advice
faint flare
Usually its on dummys, a uploaded parse or a clip of a mechanic you're concerned with
thorny bluff
I have like 30% idea what that is, and I don't think I have it.
leaden ginkgo
I'll just try to get better if it happens again I know it's me and not just a rando case
faint flare
ACT is our third party program we use as a dps meter
leaden ginkgo
still even if it's the case someone sucks, singling them out like that is a bit of a bitch move, especially in a 24 man raid, fucking humiliating
makes me hate the person who did it
faint flare
It takes and reads the battle log and does the maths for us and lets us upload it to see the fight from log form
In short answer
People who are good at reading them can experly analysis and can see exactly what you were doing at a specific time
thorny bluff
Is that data useful when in an isolated context?
ah, darn, just answered my question
faint flare
Logs are primarily used for bosses
little swift
the data uploaded gets collated into timeline information and such
faint flare
Not whole dungeons
ripe hound
Yeah I made a macro and it worked!
Maybe Teamcraft is actually a lot easier to use than I thought lol
little swift
which is helpful to analyze
faint flare
No one parses dungeons, unless you wanna lose faith in humanity
little swift
but otherwise just showing us stuff directly from the program
doesn't always mean much
ripe hound
But yeah sometimes some people left Parses on during Dungeon,
They do lose faith in humanity though
thorny bluff
are trial logs also acceptable, or just major dungeon fights?
faint flare
Its primarily trials and raid bosses
little swift
people do speed runs of the most recent dungeons
but otherwise parsing dungeons is depressing
ripe hound
It's primary Extreme Trails and Savage Bosses (and Ultimate Bosses)
thorny bluff
what do you mean by prebuilt gauges?
faint flare
In dungeons you can generate resources on trash prior to bosses
ripe hound
But yeah, it's generally EXTREMLY not recommended to parse casual dungeons and discuss about it
faint flare
Unlike trials where you cant
thorny bluff
AH, I understand now.
faint flare
Meaning openers on dungeon bosses will always be different
Oppososed to trials every everything is the same
leaden ginkgo
@little swift this is the symbol that was used
thorny bluff
Is there a specific site that accepts these logs, or is the file just dropped here?
faint flare
FFlogs
leaden ginkgo
usually used for mobs or something?
thorny bluff
got it. Will try next trial. Thanks so much!
little swift
most people don't even use those markers much anymore outside of maybe pvp
there used to be a practical use of them in dungeons
leaden ginkgo
is it a mark of "you're shit" tho? lol
faint flare
Rarely
leaden ginkgo
there was a lot of chaos near the boss
maybe I was marked to be healed, because I was being healed consistently
faint flare
Some people in 24mans like to mark the main tank with some form of mark so its easier to see where they are
But thats usually the Blue shape marks from what i see
leaden ginkgo
I was primarily the guy taking most of the hits in front of the boss
little swift
i definitely think you're reading too much into it
especially because its an alliance raid
leaden ginkgo
it's still the level 50 ones part of the crystal tower stuff
leaden ginkgo
fair enough, thanks for info
I'll practice the rotation stuff tho on dummies for a bit after
sour ruin
In between HW and StB is the best gear that one can get the lvl 210 armor sets from clan hunts? Also is there something better than Ironworks to use tombstones on?
ripe hound
Is the max progress and max quality of an item only decided by the Difficulty and Durability of the item?
plain python
the story up to Bahamut spitting Flare and get conquered by Warriors of Light is 1.0, and the player's new character starts the ARR story?
ripe hound
I mean what decides an item's max Progress and max Quality?
obsidian patio
Basically an invisible number called the recipe level
analog gate
In between HW and StB is the best gear that one can get the lvl 210 armor sets from clan hunts? Also is there something better than Ironworks to use tombstones on?
@sour ruin after HW you can get augmented shire (ilvl 270) from idyllshire or foundation, bought with poetics
obsidian patio
Which also determines stat effectiveness AKA how good your touch/synthesis skills do
sour ruin
@analog gate Alright thanks a bunch!
analog gate
the story up to Bahamut spitting Flare and get conquered by Warriors of Light is 1.0, and the player's new character starts the ARR story?
@plain python yes
plain python
coiled of bahamut is basically retelling the fight in 1.0?
ripe hound
Nope, but a continuation of the ending of 1.0
obsidian patio
Not sure about everything but a definite factor
ripe hound
I see
Thanks!
But yeah, I think it's just recipe level and durability
Since Teamcraft's rotations' generated name tells you this
Thanks Wynne!

narrow star
guys i have a quick quetion
so im a returning player and i want to play with my friend
is there any reason for me to make a new character?
granite swan
no, not unless hes on a completely different datacenter
narrow star
but i want to start from 0 with him. can i do it with my char?
i havent played in 2 years
but i do have some cool mounts and a lot fo stuff i did
can i not share my stuff between chars?
granite swan
If you pay 15$ sub, ucan make another char on that server
i think 99% of stuff is char based and not account based
queen flame
Can I buy Glamour Prisms? Or must I craft them?
granite swan
store mounts might be account?
narrow star
is not store mount
narrow star
ya
granite swan
ooh thats def char
patent citrus
@queen flame you can buy it with your gc seals
queen flame
ok
granite swan
Glamour Prisms can get from Grand COmpany or Market Board or craft
narrow star
So if i want to play with my friend. i just picka class on my old char i gues
granite swan
I mean, MSQ is 99% solo anyway
narrow star
damn. i kinda also leveled some chars
granite swan
outside of the dungeon/raid parts
patent citrus
play with your friend means doing MSQ together?
not sure if you can party up with new game+

You can
patent citrus
then no need to make new character, just get new game+ haha
faint flare
only thing is is that ARR isn't in NG+ yet
faint flare
Coming on the 13th
patent citrus
oh right 🤔
patent citrus
new game + allows you to redo the quests you've done
narrow star
is there any reason to do that lmao
faint flare
Replay story, redo solo instances, do story with friends
narrow star
i dont know what i want to do either i guess lmao
queen flame
Dang, looks like I need to be promoted to buy Prisms from GC. What's the fastest way to get seals?
wintry chasm
^ that gc section of the hunting log is gooooood
narrow star
So how do i activate new game plus?
faint flare
Unlock it in Vesper bay at Totally-not-Xehanort then its under duty > new game plus
narrow star
so
wintry chasm
the base HW story
wintry chasm
Right
narrow star
im a 70 dragoon i think'
crimson wind
E8S adds isn't counted to parses anymore right?
faint flare
No

I dont think NG+ would let you really play with your friend anyway, most everything is Visual Novel or Solo Duties outside of Dungeon/Raids O.o
halcyon glen
If you have a friend going through the normal MSQ at the same time, it could allow you to be in the same place as them
wintry chasm
I mean it should be fine
halcyon glen
And do dungeons together
faint flare
And get kill credits and all

cyan fable
How do I unlock mount speed on maps?
faint flare
First level is via story, the next is by buying riding maps via allied seals for Arr, centurio seals for heavensward/stormblood and bicolour gemstones for Shadowbringers...however riding maps are redundant cause flying is faster
cyan fable
thanks for letting me know!
leaden ginkgo
any controller playing tanks have any tips of how to cycle enemies well and not get lost in the chaos?
dry jolt
Is there a decent way in ARR lvl 52 to farm seals that isn't "be a tank / healer in duty finder"?
shell echo
Where can I see how many wolf marks I have?
granite swan
Ctrl+C

Ctrl-c ?
granite swan
@dry jolt Seals as in GC Seals?
dry jolt
yes
granite swan
solo farm some of the 20 maybe 30 dungeons?
oh, could probly do Sashtasha most effectively
shell echo
Yep ctrl+c. Thank you

Why am I needing the weather to switch to Wind in the Steppe again?

I read that new game+ will include 1.0 storyline?
crimson wind
Which crafter makes the most gil?
dawn cradle
Can you get the weapon that is shown during character creation somewhere ingame?
glad comet
Yes, its the ARR relic weapon.
plain python
what does new game+ currently cover then?
jade quartz
Quest “The Weaponsmith of Legend” in Vesper Bay, followed by quest “A Relic Reborn” in Hyrstmill, North Shroud
dawn cradle
@glad comet Do I need a certain currency to buy it?
faint flare
Heavensward onwards, 8man and 24man raid stories and class quests
plain python
hm I hope 1.0 one day, but okay then :d
crimson wind
Was Ronkan gear 5.0 allegory gear?
faint flare
It was the first tomestone gesr
halcyon glen
you mean 2.0 @plain python
faint flare
When phastmagoria was capped
crimson wind
Like Lost Allagan and Ala Mhigan
tranquil valve
1.0 will never be added to New Game+. 1.0 was a completely different game.
halcyon glen
1.0 shudders
dawn cradle
Ouch
glad comet
I also am not joking.
crimson wind
and then it was just moved to n u t s?
narrow star
What are the best duo classes to start with a friend?
faint flare
When phastmagoria became uncapped in 5.2
crimson wind
Healer tank
dawn cradle
faint flare
Goetia became unobtainable and redundant in 5.2 when tomes rotated
dawn cradle
I assume the sentiment hasn't changed since then
jade quartz
Past expansion relics are glamour popsicles
narrow star
thx
tulip plover
Do you have to stand really close to use holy
crimson wind
Anima is objectively the prettiest and easiest to obtain relic weapon.
tulip plover
Ok cuz i thought it was ranged like every thing else
tranquil valve
@crimson wind Not for DRG. Personally, I think DRG Anima looks ugly.
crimson wind
DRG is one class out of the 13 with anima weapons.
Honestly there's no reason to do relic weapons before level 80
Being at 80 makes everything so much easier
What's a comfy gcd speed for Bard?
little swift
you don't want any iirc
crimson wind
I'm coming from tank, where gcd speeds revolve around 2.4
little swift
army's paeon is all you really want to have
crimson wind
Would that allow me to double weave at max repretoire paeon?
leaden ginkgo
alright lads I am going to watch a shitload of videos on mastering tanking, I will begom the greatest tank I noob can
little swift
at max rep paeon you still should be ok
leaden ginkgo
before past level 60s the single attack rotation for bosses is best right? should I be using aoe as well to aggro boss?
so like alternate between single and aoe?
leaden ginkgo
I use provoke, but sometimes the boss loses interest
little swift
should never aoe on single target
remote lintel
because you need to hit it
crimson wind
Do you have your stance on
little swift
you should be using your rotation
leaden ginkgo
ye I never use aoe on single
little swift
with stance on
mental garnet
are there any other dungeon gearsets before level 50 that have materia slots besides dzemael darkhold gear?
remote lintel
hitting the boss generates aggro
crimson wind
In trash pulls you rotate mitigation
leaden ginkgo
should I be merging in materia with gear already?

ye I guess it's called tank buster
faint flare
Always avoid avoidable attacks
crimson wind
No that's called a mechanic
remote lintel
yes you should be taking all boss attacks except the ones directed at other people
faint flare
If you can avoid it, avoid it
leaden ginkgo
getting conflicting advice here lol
faint flare
Unless you know exactly what you're doing for uptime purposes
remote lintel
nothing is conflicting
crimson wind
If you can avoid it
faint flare
Dont take avoidable damage
crimson wind
Avoid it. Simple as.
faint flare
Healers will hate you
leaden ginkgo
I dodge what I can more or less
crimson wind
Don't get used to being over half health btw if your healer is gud
jade quartz
Most dungeon bosses you don’t need to cooldown auto attacks
In extreme trials and savage you may sometimes want to be cding auto attacks in certain bosses or phases
crimson wind
In savage healers will be healing you as much as not possible
Cuz it's a dps loss for them.
leaden ginkgo
and in terms of doing the rotation, it's just the 3 for now right? fast attack, riot blade and rage of halone? and then spirits within cycled in between or?
crimson wind
Yes.
leaden ginkgo
usually what I do is I right away do spirits within, then switch between the 3 combo and spirits
crimson wind
Unless you're in a trash pull
jade quartz
Mechanics that you can dodge are not tank busters
leaden ginkgo
if it's a big pull I just aoe
crimson wind

Make sure to get Spirits and Circle undrr Fight or flight
crimson wind
You use this on cooldown.
jade quartz
Just to make sure
Make sure you’re weaving your ogcds in between gcds
And not like
leaden ginkgo
gcds?
jade quartz
Pausing your combos to use them
remote lintel
global cooldowns
leaden ginkgo
global cooldowns?
crimson wind
You do Goring combo > royal authority combo x2 > Goring etc
leaden ginkgo
what is o?
faint flare
Off global
remote lintel
off
jade quartz
Off
faint flare
Abilities
leaden ginkgo
what are those exactly?
remote lintel
gcds are weaponskills
faint flare
Spirits within
remote lintel
and spells
faint flare
Is a off global
remote lintel
ogcds are abilities
jade quartz
Spirits within, circle of scorn, your defensive cooldowns
remote lintel
you can do 2 ogcds betweeb gcds
faint flare
!faq weaving
zinc orbitBOT
jade quartz
Yes, without delaying the gcd
crimson wind
Except for special cases
leaden ginkgo
2? well I only have spirits within for now
crimson wind
Like Dragoon
faint flare
See chart
leaden ginkgo
I guess I could use shield lob
remote lintel
you can weave your defensives
leaden ginkgo
but it's kinda shit
faint flare
Shield lob is gcd
leaden ginkgo
fast attack does more damage
crimson wind
Shield lob is only used for the first gcd
To pull the boss
You replace it with
!action Holy spirit
leaden ginkgo
is it better than provoke?
zinc orbitBOT
Powered by XIVAPI
faint flare
Yes because it does damage
jade quartz
It does damage
faint flare
And generates more aggro
leaden ginkgo
ok I will replace provoke for lob then
remote lintel
dont take provoke off your hotbar
jade quartz
Provoke is for tank swapping primarily
crimson wind
Provoke is a godsend once you get into endgame content.
leaden ginkgo
I saw that paladins make the best offtanks?
crimson wind
Tanks would be unplayable without provoke.
leaden ginkgo
what does the offtank do differently from anormal tank?
crimson wind
I saw that paladins make the best offtanks?
@leaden ginkgo no. All tanks are fit to main tank equally
leaden ginkgo
so just damage?
faint flare
Off tanks support the main tank by giving them cooldowns and takes adds
And be there for tank swaps
leaden ginkgo
how do you give them cooldowns?

I see, so do you guys recommend I try to get at least sorta gud with all this practicing on shittier dungeons rn? or maybe after I hit 60?
because so far the dungeons are kinda effortlessly beaten
jade quartz
In endgame it’s not a binary of main tank and off tank
remote lintel
learn by doing
leaden ginkgo
I rarely die
remote lintel
dungeons are easy
crimson wind
Most people only play drk FOR its mitigation
jade quartz
You swap and space out both of your cooldowns.
crimson wind
I don't blame em.
remote lintel
i play dark because edgy
leaden ginkgo
@jade quartz can you explain a bit more what that means?
remote lintel
in endgame raids there are tank swaps
so it doesnt really matter whos main and whos off
jade quartz
In endgame fights certain mechanics force tanks to swap
leaden ginkgo
so if I want to swap if I'm offtank I then use provoke on the boss?
or intervention then provoke?
jade quartz
Yeah and then other tank shirks you
crimson wind
i play dark because edgy
@remote lintel that too.
jade quartz
No no intervention
jade quartz
Learning the fight
remote lintel
when the mechanic comes up
leaden ginkgo
so it's kind of an intuition thing?
faint flare
Usually the tank gets a vuln from a mechanic which means you should probably swap
jade quartz
No it’s a knowledge thing
remote lintel
and you see when the swap happens
leaden ginkgo
oh like the boss fight switches up?
crimson wind
Ye
faint flare
Tank swaps aren't a thing really outside extreme.and savage
jade quartz
Switches up? What do you mean?
crimson wind
Actually e4n has a tank swap. That's only one example though.
leaden ginkgo
like something about it changes? is that what you mean by mechanics?
remote lintel
ive never swapped on e4n wym
crimson wind
Yeah
jade quartz
No
leaden ginkgo
keep in mind I just started playing this game like maybe 6 days ago?
crimson wind
You get a vuln after stonecrushee
little swift
You don't know real nightmares as a tank until you do e6s.
@crimson wind 6s isn't even that bad
crimson wind
Its better to just tank swap tbh
jade quartz
The attacks the boss uses and how to handle them
crimson wind
Look channy you don't know the pug life I go through ok
faint flare
Basically skill cast > it gives the tank a strong vulnerablity that would kill them > you provoke and take over
crimson wind
;;
leaden ginkgo
do you guys think I should watch the raids beforehand for some of the more extreme raids?
jade quartz
Yes
crimson wind
Yes
faint flare
Extremes and up yes
remote lintel
you SHOULD watch Ex and savage raids beforehand
smoky glade
the hardest boss in e6s are the tanks that take ifrit jumps too far
little swift
Look channy you don't know the pug life I go through ok
@crimson wind also false
honest anvil
do nodes in diadem disappear after a while?
leaden ginkgo
ok and any controller users in the house?
jade quartz
Unless you’re specifically in a blind party doing it for fun of learning blind
crimson wind
Yes.
remote lintel
yes
crimson wind
Does.
jade quartz
You don’t
remote lintel
up/down on dpad for party members, left/right for enemies
crimson wind
Dpad*
jade quartz
You AoE
leaden ginkgo
ye I should just do that lol
remote lintel
alternatively hold trigger and tap a bumper to cycle enemies
leaden ginkgo
I saw in some video it showed that you can cycle between which enemy takes a bit more damage aoe
how do you do this?
little swift
tab targeting?
leaden ginkgo
it popped up a highlighted red circle on the guy who takes more dmg
crimson wind
That's damage falloff

Damage falloff was very very common in Stormblood iirc, but they removed most of it.
leaden ginkgo
ok and in terms of where to position boss, I was told in corners of the maps?
remote lintel
not usually
leaden ginkgo
is it better to have him facing me and back faced to team killing him?
remote lintel
just spin him around
crimson wind
No. Most of the time in the middle away from the party
leaden ginkgo
so boss kinda horizontally and the team is mashing him vertically?
crimson wind
I thought you meant you should spin the boss Cerberus and I cringed...
leaden ginkgo
so the healer can see me?
remote lintel
lul
what
no
if the boss is facing south you face him north
opposite direction he was facing
healers dont need to see you
crimson wind
Line of sight is basically never an issue.
tulip plover
Where do you farm totems
