Oops I said ravana but I meant susano

steady pebble
#

susano is highly unlikely to be summoned again

onyx nimbus
#

Susano and Lakshmi are the last two I can see being non minstrel and making sense

#

Lies

steady pebble
#

its not though?

onyx nimbus
#

I'm gonna summon him for the next beach party

steady pebble
#

either way, kojin probably won't summon him again because the far east pretty much doesn't have a history of it

#

and the red kojin are probably going to be left alone

wheat marsh
#

so with all the UWU parties i see, does that mean some big streamers are going through it now?

steady pebble
#

lakshmi is unlikely as well, due to the qalyana being dealt with

sinful brook
#

It's just lots of people have nothing to do during patch lull

Who is resummoning the triad

steady pebble
#

nobody

onyx nimbus
#

Genuine question

#

Not some automated allagan shit?

steady pebble
#

azys lla is essentially in auto pilot mode

#

and wasn't designed to do something like that.

onyx nimbus
#

How we get their ex then, I don't remember unulkhai quest dialogue

steady pebble
#

its basically a training sim

onyx nimbus
#

What's the context of the rematch

#

Oh that's uh kinda lame

steady pebble
#

a very deadly training sim

#

with you being cloned if you succeeded

#

but ofc that doesn't happen because as i said, auto pilot mode

viscid talon
#

see that happen at one point because you just need more WoL

which classes should i use for Asphodelos head gear cause i only see they're all recommended use augmented radiant head

Yes

Well

But you don't need hundreds of runs to get yours

Yeah I know, statics can rerun until everyone gets it

you mean blue + fire? xD

grand mesa
#

Or don't learn to count for stack/spread rewind

worn pecan
#

yeah but tbh extreme are much easier than savage stuff

grand mesa
#

Depends

#

First two savage fights aren't hard at all

#

There's a bunch of ex fights that were more difficult on content

#

Specially if we're talking about p1s

#

89ex is harder than p1s

stable basin

I miss Titan and Leviathan extremes being unrevivable

Man, Leviathan ex was a banger back in ARR

stable basin
#

True, but it's the spirit of the matter xD

worn pecan
#

the song hits hard too

grand mesa
#

I meant 90ex/endsinger, mb

worn pecan
#

Yeah I guess that is true

grand mesa
#

P1s isn't hard at all

worn pecan
#

Tanks defo has much more work put on them this savage series

grand mesa
#

The hardest part of p1s is not getting angry at your melee dps when they somehow fuck up intemperance for the third time in a row

worn pecan
#

haha how can they even mess that up lol

#

I can understand with D4 with the swaps in between

#

but sometimes right after wrath they run out immediately towards their pos

#

and don't get healed enuf in time for the 3rd crystal pop

grand mesa
#

Healers have enough time to dip into middle to heal everyone up

#

I've just seen people incapable of being on their final tile

#

And that's what kills everybody

worn pecan
#

yeah the damage down is kinda cringe for me xD

torn mesa
grand mesa
#

yup

torn mesa
#

you know it's bad when some people have pre-emptively prepared edited SS

to validate themselves/gaslight others upon a fourfold wipe

fervent bane
#

surely that's not an actual thing wtf

torn mesa
#

it is

#

I saw post of it that went like this:

A: I had purple 13
B: I did links picture

picture is taken from another pull --> you can tell cause it's cropped heavily

fervent bane
#

well that person is completely insane

torn mesa
#

it's more like instead of spending time to make that picture

#

they could've already learned how fucking easy of a mechanic fourfold is, and just do it

fervent bane
#

that, as well as just being a sane person and owning up to your mstakes

#

instead of... that

frank swallow
#

i am getting insane

#

💀 someone help me

drowsy agate
#

that's just PF

#

lol

verbal oak
#

There’s a very good reason why I don’t pf anything above like 70

#

Wait

frank swallow
#

tbh i have more pleasant feeling in savage compare to Ultimate

#

Summoner should be the easiest

steady pebble
#

smn is pretty easy these days, with dnc pretty close second imo

drowsy agate
#

it's summoner

#

no job is easier than summoner

#

black mage has some significant optimization you can do that gets pretty complicated

steady pebble
#

rdm and blm, while like the core mechanics are simple, there's more to them about their optimization that makes them a bit more complex than smn

torn mesa
#

uh... RDM is like middle of the pack

#

maybe slightly below average

drowsy agate
#

RDM is a little more complicated than previous iterations (but only slightly) and would fall around the average

torn mesa
#

also this heavily depends on what you're asking in terms of: skill floor or skill ceiling

#

but SMN would be probably lowest for both

drowsy agate
#

yea like do you want to be top 5% parser or just "good enough to clear"

torn mesa
#

I think RDM floor is low, ceiling is mid

drowsy agate
#

if it's for new players then you shouldn't be worried about skill ceiling at all

torn mesa
#

my opinion on the easiest job in each of the 5 roles: WAR, SMN, DNC, RPR, WHM/SGE

drowsy agate
#

no new player is gonna want to read all 40 something pages of the BLM sweaty optimizations doc

#

to learn about abnormal fire lines

verbal oak
#

Weskabler has the casuals covered and balance has the nitty gritty stuff

drowsy agate
#

those jobs are exactly what I'd pick as "easiest" in each role

verbal oak
#

Eh I’d say mch is easier than dnc but hey it’s subjective

torn mesa
#

I'd pick those for both floor and ceiling

drowsy agate
#

MCH does also have the nuance of being ping reliant

torn mesa
#

maybe MCH over DNC for ceiling

#

yeah as another "bonus", all of those jobs I listed with the exception of RPR are very ping friendly

drowsy agate
#

RDM was considered to be very easy in shadowbringers

#

you need to look at the time stamp of the posts

verbal oak
#

Fair I also started as an RDM but didn’t like it

drowsy agate
#

in ShB prior to the SMN rework I would have absolutely agreed RDM and DNC were the two easiest DPS

verbal oak
#

I could run around all over the place with mch and that’s when I loved it

steady pebble
#

have to keep in mind, EW reworked a few jobs so posts like that you need to look at when it was posted

verbal oak
#

Wasn’t WAR in 4.1 the hardest tank?

steady pebble
#

and while having a "this job is easy" guide is nice for new players, it basically has to be adjusted every expac in some way

drowsy agate
#

yes, summoner is an entirely different job and some people would have considered it to be one of the harder DPS prior to the rework

steady pebble
#

smn in ew vs shb are two pretty different jobs

#

we have no idea how 7.0 is going to change jobs

#

so it could be that something knocks dnc or war off the stage as easy jobs

verbal oak
#

#

SMN seems ripe for growth moving forward

#

a good base from which to grow its current structure in future expansions.

#

Add one major Primal and trios of minor primals to the cycle with their related abilities each expansion along with separate themed regular spells, matching the expansion cycle with each new X.0 patch

Give Pheonix its own post ARR trio, Shiva, Ramuh and Leviathan.

HW major primal - Alexander. They can get the entire warring triad or Ravana, Bismarck and Thordan (thordan and bismarck seem unlikely as summons. Perhaps as new spells?)

SB will ofcourse have Shinryu as the Major Primal. Minor being Susano, Tsukuyomi and Lakshmi.

For the ShB cycle we can have a self imbuement related to Warrior of LIght which returns the cycle back to the start but with boosted versions of those primals (in Eden skins) and (either immediately or in the next expansion) the imbuement can turn Bahamut and Pheonix into Zodiark and Hydaelyn.

vernal breach
#

Thats very optimistic

steep kayak
#

It will be something along those lines, but unlikely to be so extensive. They'll probably attach a 2ndary system of some sort related to the rest

Something in the spirit of Samurai building 3 stacks for example.

Braindead rotation = being able to focus on mechanics more ablobuwu

plus is the friendliest dps job for high ping people

💀

molten moon

Nah, even titan phase is okay

#

Just don't weave anything else during it

not like smn has much to weave

worn pecan

titan weaves every gcd

molten moon

Single weave is okay

#

High ping people can't double weave

worn pecan
#

nah that's still horrible as the gcd is low for titan/garuda

molten moon
#

Titan GCD isn't low though? blobwaitwhat

#

It's the normal GCD

worn pecan
#

you try clicking your claps in between

molten moon
#

Garuda is the low GCD portion

worn pecan

isn't it about 2s?

molten moon
#

I swear it's same ish

garuda is around 1.5

i guess blackmage too

#

i could probably name alot now that i think bout it, what jobs actually DO have an opener with 16 different icons

#

many jobs have openers that may be 16 or so buttons long, but there would be repeat buttons

#

things like blm and mch tho probably has the least unique buttons
monk i think has... 10 unique buttons in their opener, but it is more or less 19 buttons long

molten moon
#

Rdm has a lot of procs tho

#

Like the back half is mostly procs

#

Which share buttons with the base skills

robust shoal
#

drk is... a lot

#

like 14 I think?

#

drg probably has a lot of different buttons because it has more different gcds

#

drk only has 4

molten moon
#

Ninja has a lot of buttons too h_KEKW

vernal breach
#

yeah but theres alot of repeats :u

#

assuming you consider mudras to all be repeats or not

molten moon

Still a lot of different ogcds iirc

Depends on how big the bar is? doggokek

That will depend entirely on your server

ive seen some items go for 10x the amount from one crystal server to another

sinful herald
verbal oak
#

yes with a catch

#

the public marketboard plugin allows you to check BUT the info it gets is only updated like once every few hours

onyx nimbus
#

Generally you can look at what it's used to make

#

If its popular glam pieces, or relevant endgame gear, or collectibles then those have some staying power

verbal oak
#

or its just that one fucking lvl 40 item no one wants to collect for job shit haha

onyx nimbus
#

Not anymore

#

The market for dol job quest items is fucking cratered by the removal of hq gathering items

molten moon
#

Even fishing?

onyx nimbus
#

When you needed 20 hq jade? Your lv80 gatherer can collect like 300 in 4 minutes

#

Now it's nq jade and a retainer can get 50 in 40min with zero effort

#

Idk fishing

#

I never fished

subtle marsh
#

I am kind of mad they got rid of hq base mats.

#

Cuz now making secondary mats hq is a pain in the ass.

steep kayak
# worn pecan I thought SMN was fun since the rework

thats mainly because it seems to be designed with the intend to create a foundation (which is still functional currently) from which to build more complex mechanics ontop of down the line. The previous structure hit a dead end in that manner. Ontop of the whole job lore flavor thing.

#

I think thats part of why they're planning the same for the AST and DRG

steep kayak
# robust shoal ok but where is the other half of its kit

This is not meant to be comprehensive, just pondering on the seeming direction SMN is taking based on its current setup and past examples of class mechanics gaining tiers of complexity with each expansion. We cant really speculate on the rest of its kit as that will only come through extensive actual testing by devs.

#

it will be interesting to see what spells future primals might give us. Like giving us out dots back D:

I really hope they make it more interesting next expac

What even is the advantage of N/S rot over S/S rot

Because I can't see why anyone would use N/S over S/S

austere ocean
#

Earlier weeks people do it to prevent a wrong role accidentally stand too close to the stack

#

Since people are unlikely to stand north in front of the boss, it’s usually support stack North dps who needs rot comes north grab it

S/S is just cleaner though

@grand mesa scale of 1-10 how fucked is TEA

#

I'm wrapping up UWU rn and thinking about just going for TEA lol

drowsy agate
#

if uwu is a 5/10 then tea is maybe an 8/10

#

it's harder than uwu but it's not super hard, if you can do uwu then you can do tea

round hazel
#

Where's ucob on that scale?

drowsy agate
#

idk like 7/10

round hazel
#

Hmm

#

Going straight to tea it is

drowsy agate
#

some people consider ucob and tea the same difficulty, I personally think tea is harder slightly

verbal oak
#

iirc, TEA has harder mechs, whereas ucob has more rng and is a longer overall fight

drowsy agate
#

tbh jagd dolls is a harder mech than anything in uwu

#

and it's like the first mech in tea

#

nael phase in ucob is also harder than anything in uwu

#

and that's phase 2, after twin which is the easy phase

verbal oak
#

yeah i fuckin hated ucob but looking back at it thats more my fault than anything else

#

every wake up and raid 10mins later?

#

love night shift

drowsy agate
#

doesn't help that you'll fall back asleep right away in twin

quick verge
#

jagd dolls happens like 40 seconds into a pull

#

should be very knowledgeable about your dmg limits early on

#

rest of p1 and p2 aren't very notable if you aren't a healer

#

and fight just falls off a cliff after gavel

#

with wormhole being notable, difficulty scaling on your strat and your ability to break it down

fervent bane
#

i haven't stepped foot into tea yet, but surely if wormhole is resolved the same way as in that wormhole sim it shouldn't be a mechanic that people get stuck on

drowsy agate
#

sim makes it easier but wormhole happens like 9 minutes or something into the pull

#

and as with any ultimate, consistently getting there just to prog it once is what takes time

#

but yea being able to skip the 9 mins effort and just practice wormhole only helps a lot

#

and yea what biscuit said is also true, hardest parts of tea are over by the end of phase 2 (which is when gavel happens)

fervent bane
#

from what i've seen the most daunting part is the 2nd phase honestly

drowsy agate
#

the whole nisis + other mechs during phase 2 is imo the hardest part of tea

#

very frontloaded mechs

fervent bane
#

thankfully that's near the start lol

drowsy agate
#

the first 6 mins of the fight are the hardest

fervent bane
#

thats good to know then

#

sounds pretty spammable i guess

drowsy agate
#

i'm also a masochist and progged it as BLM

#

foul is instant cast at 80 now

#

which makes opti during 2 targets a bit easier

so LL and BJCC should absolutely be easier now

i wouldnt know i started in ew

#

having the second charge of triple should also make things quite a bit extra cozier, too

#

I'll be playing DNC so I'll be mostly focusing on mechanics because I press two buttons

Phys range have it a bit busier in terms of stuff to do during BJCC
