and people giga drift their stuff in duty finder anyway
Ive been sitting in them near daily lmfao
Also i’d just prefer to have it then not because its like half my burst and I want to press buttons
Basically yea
Im leveling healer there rn
So like
I have 3 jobs I can switch between
Thats why im leveling alt jobs cus
Its always 1 fucking role
That never appears
I play melee and there are no healers
I switch to healer and theres no phys range
Ect ect
tobi
I need to start doing khloe's journals again
if one more person sends me a tell asking if im fake melee bc im rdm
im killing them
Worst thing is trying to level any tier in the X1-X3 range
Cause you only got like 2 dungeons that give xp
So queues take an hour
Once you get a 3rd in your level range it usually goes way faster
yeah finding people to play with is a pain
This comes from someone currently trying to level jobs while replaying Shadowbringers on an alt
I guess if all else fails there is duty support
im 2 more games of fall guys away from being done my suffering almost ends
It's always the worst-performing people that have the biggest egos
I check people like those out of spite but I don't actively try to get into fights with them either
guys
most good players know it takes effort to get there and that comes with mistakes n all that jazz yea
is it over
no back to the mines with you
life is over
is that high level
its alliance
ct of doom
if u have the bozja step that gives you loathsome it's not as bad
NOOOO
ouch
are silver certs worth anything
can i make mony
o i can make like 500k
bro @trim frost
i just checked
u can get like 500k from the minions
but i'll just hold onto my certs for now
yeaaa
whats so good about ornate pieces anyway
5 slots so its guaranteed?
i was having a look earlier
yeah
usually the DPS increase is minimal though
not much better than a non-ornate that's penta'd
mainly for money
yarp
Ornate won’t be worth it until 8.0 tbh
oh can you not penta meld 12s?
not under normal circumstances no
because you can only put 12s in the first overmeld slot
Only to the first overmeld slot
ah Ive just been using 11s overall to not "waste" my twelves but since you can only use one anyway
hold on I need to fix my gear melds lmao
still worth in 7.4
also how in the sweet hell are ornates "not worth" until 8.0
Like I'm pretty sure that ornates have the most use at the beginning of a tier
ye i think it's new feature
you're ornate
ornate deez
Yes
After that it falls off
Pretty damn hard, I might add
Unless you are hellbent on collecting those things after the beginning of a given tier, there's no real reason to get your hands on an ornate well after
There no way people are manually setting markers this fast how are they doing it
are they using presets or
yeah should be using presets no?
yeah I'm pretty sure that no one is that superhumanly fast to set down markers like that
The only other explanation is that it might be coordinated, but unlikely
some people have presets that just put "D1C BA4" around the boss
I respect that so fucking much
graha don't be a chad challenge
okay but have you considered that he is People magazine's Sexiest Man Alive
I heard
????
ornate is mad expensive but saying its not worth it until 8.0 is like
thats like saying my food isnt worth it till it expires
lmao
some people will do anything but admit being wrong lol
maybe it's worth it to that one family of rats living in my dumpster
one thing too you gotta understand most of these people buying ornate also have generational wealth anyway so value of gil is a non factor
Sorry I think I fed my last ornate to the rats
kimchi
uhhhh
Isn't ornate worth if you do week 1, and you can skimp on it if you know you gonna take a while to clear?
lemme think of a different example
IMO only go for Ornate if you wanna do week 1 race
basically yeah
Or If your group is super serious about week 1/2 clear
But after week 1/2 it falls off hard like I said
It basically ends up being a collector's item after that
The value of ornate is also a bit questionable this tier since we’ll have more capped tomes before savage unlock
yarp
since the first three weeks + the week of Savage unlock is four weeks of tomes lol
Which is enough for chest+pants
Unless your role’s chest+pants have shit secondary stats, of course
Most people aren't gonna go for that anyway
I dont think there has been a single tier in the last like
7 tiers
that someones BiS was that
get ornate -> pf -> realize pf is trash -> dont clear week 1 -> replace ornate next week

Anab had pants/chest bis?
Yeah
On what role?
All of them I believe
no wait
I fucking mixed it up
It was Abyssos that had pants/chest BiS from Savage, I believe Striking was one of them
But all tiers since Anab for pants/chest BiS have always been a mix of aug tome and Savage
well except that one time we had Chaotic lol
but that was so goddamn late
Man the DDoSes have killed my drive to do anything else that's productive in this game
I'm just gonna boot up another
Given how many weeks of tome were getting this time I wonder if ornate will be less valuable
Guess it’ll depend on the inherent stats of the ornate vs tomestone
I'm looking with XIV sim and there isn't a set in Abyssos that had this as far as I am seeing
if anything Striking had both raid pieces
for chest/pants
Yeah im saying that tomestone chest/pants are not the best unless they changed the stats
Pretty sure they've been the same since then
Yeah with XIVSim its showing that the chest+pants from the raid are better
Chest is Crit/Det and pants are Crit/DH from the raid
Meanwhile tomestone is DH/Det for both pieces
with no crit
Yeah maybe I should consider making plans for my own burial then, Abyssos was so fucking long ago
LOL you just had me confused
cause im like
i do not remember a tier where a job got fucked over that hard
Being based by job I would think because I rocked the ornate for this tier until I got raid chest
and I could be wrong
but I think since like eden its been that way
so I seriously doubt anyone is going to be rolling into savage with both tome chest/tome pants
Yeah they're gonna be stingy with tomestones
itd be better anyway to run tome chest + 1 accessory cause you can augment both w1
and then save your last set of tomes for weapon
so you can augment that aswell
Youll be able to get aug body/legs, accessory and weapon W1 
You know what I love
When they put a fate directly in the middle of 17 fucking regular enemies
What I want from a fate is having to fight off a bunch of respawning enemies that are stronger then the fate enemies and also dont progress it at all
i forget
are there situations where it's better to run a raid token gear piece over a crafted one for pre-savage prepping
dawg we're all fucking old I guess
yes
idk maybe if the stats on the crafted piece are dogshit doodoobutter
mainly for sks
sks/sps i would imagine yeah
another 100 points to piety
piety isn't real
You will occasionally see a random piece of gear be better from the normal tier
but most of the time its normally still beat by crafted cause of penta
Stares at my sks materia stack to slot in for monk gear
oh yeah i gotta offload most of my materia for patch drop
ive been stockpiling for a while
i forget mutamix exists
Me too man
i don't think i've ever used him
Alright hypothetical for yall
Lets say tommorow someone at square fucked up the coding and Riddle of Winds auto speed up was disabled
How long does it take for someone to realize this
Yeah the only time I have ever used Mutamix is when I have a fuckload of the "useless" materia (Tenacity, Piety) and I can get a use out of it
I think it would be like a week and a half before someone pointed it out and posted it online
usually i just toss it towards reconstruction lmao
Alright theres 10 clears of Arkveld ex
It's not entirely wrong to say that Tenacity and Piety materia is useless because I can just play gamba with Mutamix
Less than 2 days
doesn't it also kinda take a while because you can only do 5 at a time
yarp
blegh
Lots of people who spend their time parsing and someone would notice the drop in their dps immediately
2 days is still kinda crazy for how many people play this game
Riddle of Wind gotta be up there for useless abilities
rather just sell it for cash or to some poor schmuck on the market board
Not the follow up Dawntrail added
lol
materia crystals are $free.99 anyway
but yeah I think I like getting a use out of it, to make it into something better
besides I think they're taking up space anyway
If I get more Crit/Det/DH materia out of it, then sure
Every little bit counts
Oh yeah btw I haven’t raided in a while but I saw they changed Enshrouds cd to be way lower a few months ago
yerp
my retainer is holding all my excess materia in its mouth like a squirrel
Does the burst phase feel better now
did you force-feed your retainer with materia or something
yes
you sicken me
they must have made the Arkveld mount real rare
I just looked at the new Reaper burst window
It still has that annoying ass thing where you have to use raid buff in the middle of enshroud
But otherwise god yeah that looks way better
Having to do two shadow of deaths in enshroud sucked ass
sadly I didnt manage to get a parse above 50 but I get the feeling healer parses are very dependant on your team lol
Is it still like slightly offset because of Perfectio?
Also can the 8.0 job rework thing just give monk a range for gods sake
No
They already shoot kamehamehas just give them ki blasts
No
You will spam meditation when avoiding aoes and you will like it
No
sss
Being a parse-brained dumbass and failing spectacularly at trying to impress the rest of the group
Oh god I just had the worst thought
What if Ninja didn’t have a gcd ranged lmao
The class that already does nothing half the time now does nothing 65% of the time
What if Bard didn't have GCD ranged
Support only bard
Potential bard
yes
to give them balls
What monk needed was a third resource bar
Monk gotta have the ugliest hud in the game
I am not a tank and that always gives me psychic damage
Especially when people gapclose too early
Revolutionary Reign, specifically the cone cleaves
also the half-room cleave the boss does
Eh its kinda just another mechanic
Well yeah
Although yeah its annoying when people move too early
I've gotten that mechanic nailed down and I can gapclose based on the snapshot entirely lol
I mainly just go off sound
I use music for raids a lot
Using the music for raid timelines is always based
Like when I was doing A8S I knew the first time the main chorus of Brute Justice Mode started it was time to line up and mitigate for spread
But when it's a looping soundtrack it's kinda hard to do so
then do the whole giant aoe bullshit
On the other hand, an Ultimate or M8S P2 makes it ez
Oh I'm getting some good materia out of transmuting
I don't remember the specifics about transmuting but the one thing I do remember is that any materia given to Mutamix will not be given as the new materia
was def the worst one for tanking. i also never try to cross over before the dash so it looks scary af when i sprint across after
i havent tried melee there yet so not sure what exactly ppl do to greed, you follow him with the dash?
I went tanking for first time in m8s recently, expected to fuck up revo apparently I did not
or well, drg specifically. ive seen ppl elusive jump out and immediately gapclose again
if you dont greed timing is whatever but tank pos can be iffy
ik its supposed to be same range as two circles prior but it looks abit bigger sometimes idk
do you think MNK will have their balls removed one day
what about sage balls
Thought that came to mind recently
What fights/mechanics do you understand having AM for? What fights make you want to throttle people for having it on?
i understand why people have it for TOP
thats about it any other one is like idk
but even then im sure many people here will agree/say that you don't need it for top
The only other one I usually see people say is useful is UWU for gaols, but that seems like it's less about the complexity of the mechanic itself and more about the very limited time to adjust you have doing it manually
For pf it's basically mandatory
The only mechanic that i want to throttle people for AM is lightning
In ucob and woth
I understand dynamis and wroth. They are hard mechs
Gaols is fast mech
But lightning?

AM for lightning debuff in wrath makes me want to hit someone
just fucking look at your debuff
Looking at my debuffs and/or seeing the shock of lightning on my head is weawwy weawwy hawd
wroth flames i kinda get AM but i still hate it
its not that hard to do a prio system for
but ive seen AM for fucking wrath of the heavens and it makes me want to commit several crimes
!faq phlegma
People seemed to expect it in DSR for Wroth
I've also seen that and it's definitely not needed for Wrath.
God I hate that damn am it makes the mech harder than what it actually is just use your eyes
Also the amount of times I've seen it and they still pvp is insane
is NA still dead? o_o
if you see AM on FRU p1, run
is na ever not dead
babe it's 9:40 am time for your daily ddos
i love being kicked out of my game because someone sent too many amongus to the server
Surely when they find the person they get prosecuted right
the person doing this will never get caught
Btw speaking of ffxiv
if they get caught another person will take their place
Is ffxib mobile getting new faces?
Gotta find calyx
Beginning to tire? Good.
Ddos protection

Wol beat calyx so bad he decided revenge was to make the game unplayable
I'm still new to fru(only at p2) but seeing that for the first time I ran so fast
Didn't help the healer was prepositioning outside the conga
wouldnt be surprised if china has stricter laws about it
i mean

Lyrics:
I could be lying next to anyone
But I'm still thinking of you
You're like the lighter to my cigarette
Can't set the flame without you
And if you want me to come over, baby
Then ...
Man its kinda crazy to me how much difference a good team makes
Anamanaguchi mentioned RAAAAHHHH
welcome to ffxiv
let me join your party. i'll drag the kill time down to 11:30

part 2 of that story
Im gonna be honest if you got the kill time to 11:30 Id be amazed
since im pretty sure enrage timer is 11
I only knew them from miku and then I heard other songs and it was kino
source
is this for necron
arkveld
We somehow wiped to specifically the 3rd set of tower despite having minimal problems with the first two sets of towers
me when I have to stand in orange thing to not go boom
Peeping tom mfs when you can visibly see someone’s head turn when they target you
I kept my words to myself for obvious reasons but like I was like "guys we've solved this 2 times already this fight how are we fucking this up"
It was really funny how I was like "Yeah Im gonna get 5 kills tonight and then go to bed
get the first 4 clears clean with a decent group especially 2-4 but man after 4 most of that whole group left and the group I found after was something else
This is the Parse from the clear if it gives you any idea
I should plug that DNC into xivanalysis
what the hell
how do you get damage below tanks as dnc and pct
I NEED TO DO MY ESSAY AHHH
by parsing grey
@vast jacinth mute me for an hour pls
open another virtual desktop
anyway i know i cleared on monk but MAN i really want to do arkveld on healer instead
pretend discord doesn't exist
I’m sitting at like 80% cpu usage with word and chrome open
so I misclicked the clear before on xivanalysis were the DNC was good and was very confused when analysis was like "yeah your play is really good"
i know i should probably focus on getting good with at least one melee dps but carbuncle is calling me
or lasers
They never selected a dance partner 💀

Wait does wiping remove dance partner?
So they didnt have a dance partner... for a single pull
that entire time...
I need to keep a closer eye on these kids man
im more amazed no one noticed
Only getting dc
something something 1p game
Wait now this is a rabbit hole Im looking at the other clears and hes one of the like 2-3 people that was there for every clear
and he played perfectly fine on every other clear but after the 4th clear he just started... omega sucking
Ah, yes, the pf brain rot
Bro really must have let his little cousin take over
“We’re not gonna get another clear you can play for me buddy”
fuckin hell
Also I’m almost done with my essay yippee
Alright enough gawking at logs I need some sleep then tommorow I get to reprog the fight on RPR
that or maybe necron
I do that on the daily
learn better self regulation we don't do mutes on request
could say some bad words but then your just look like an ass
Yeah I was gonna say, don't break the rules on purpose to get punished anyway
i used to put off work for so long that id just wake up at like 5am ish an do it on the day
just talk about the star wars cantina band or your favorite ghost pokemon
but i do like the cantina band music
One time I put off a project for so long, I ended up using a car accident as a justification to get an extension on it, only to still put it off until the last 8 hours before due time
or link the gunbreaker unlock quest
alternatively
NTA
actually. will linking the gunbreaker unlock quest mute me still
or was that just overzealous automod that's been fixed
(the joke is that the evolution of the Pokémon Yamask has a very unfortunate word in the name, one that tends to trigger automods when typed out)
As such, please please don't actually say it unless you want to get sent to the shadow realm
... Actually yeah that works
Runerigus is the Galarian evolution lol
I mean everything is easier than top
my idiot ass thought you said garlean evolution
what eeveelution would gaius van baelsar use
dsr is my achilles heel but I still think top is significantly harder
i dont think theres anything in dsr that matches the complexity of top
I finally did decently in a dsr reprog incidentally
still no orange but close
and got the guide updated
Wyrmhole is... Definitely a lot
ulti doc officially deprecated, balans website has it all now
I was gonna try and downplay its difficulty, but I thought about it again and it probably genuinely is the most complex mechanic I've dealt with in any fight up to now
my bookmark 
gone..
it might just be the fact that ive done the fight a bunch talking, but i do not think p3 is more complex than sanctity or p5
wrath kinda underrated imo
LIZZER

🦎
i mean they serve different purposes
so ideally if you are checking people for whatever reason you check both
tomestone will show you prog and potential other clears of stuff very easily
fflogs you can see parses easier
hi sarah
oh THATS who christmas lady elf cartoon is
I think Wyrmhole strikes me as more complex because it's a full uptime mechanic, while Wrath and DotH are trios, though I also haven't even seen p5 yet so
i can see that
Sanctity is definitely tough, especially if you get a cursed pattern, but like I said, you can put 100% of your brain on resolving it
but once your rotation is baked into your hands for a fight, the mech becomes a hell of alot easier
because youre just watching the mech and as much as i love p3 there really isnt much going on there
I guess it's slightly annoying for me because the times I need to move during p3 can vary depending on which number I have and which arrow I get/where I'm initially standing for positions, and that changes where I'd pop my Triplecasts/other movements
It's not ultimately that significant, but it's a bit of extra mental load that might make me space out and place a tower wrong or bait a line directly into the stack
thats true
but eventually after enough reps youll have the scenarios mostly muscle memory and can adjust on the fly without much mental load
protip move directly through the boss if it's gnash and you have center tower it makes you a cool dude
I'm glad pf progging mentality is usually chill if you're honest in the listing because new prog for me is a huge mental stack
personally i ragequit and flame if we dont reach 2 mechanics past prog point in random pfs
i think my favourite wipe in my DSR prog was when our SGE moved too early out of P3 stack, had the stack on them and fucking exploded off to the side with no other deaths
just
nuked
doesn't matter how many times I read about it, I can't conceptualize it within a timeline until I see it a couple times for myself
I figured this out in P1 UWU
not me im built diff
they have to actually get reps in
spoons you
oh
ok i'm not just oupid
well i am but not because of this
how many reps it takes you to get it down depends on the person
ermge
there are some mechs that ppl can just eyeball after seeing once, like a lot of EX filler mechs are like that
does 2 days of prog for unawakened p1 uwu sound bad
I am new 
you are not ready for it yet
you are like
jumping so fucking far ahead
unless you have significantly improved from the last log you showed
idk if I have bc I don't have a log from my uwu
chiyo has one from prog day 1 and it was atrocious
but I was also super intimidated and had no clue what I was doing
uwu is the easy ulti but it's still ulti
is it day one or two
its like how driving automatic is easy but you still need to know traffic rules
you literally do an entire phase worth of mechs while an ally raid boss would be showing you they can hit front/back as well as left/right
nov 4th
bro what the fuck is this log
the person who uploaded it
did uwu, tea, dsr
arkveld ex, unreal
guh
damn
I had a goat in my pf
hasn't even cleared top

absolute specimen
wait how do you see my log i can't find it
just looked you up on tomestone
youre "Literally Him" right
you're not, you just need practice. lots and lots and lots and lots of practice
My new team after a raid trial proceeded to do DSR, top, and then alo savage after some of the group went to bed
this log is a lot better than last time but theres still some rough patches
theres alot of points where you just stop gcding
how r u cooked if u don't even pf
how are you cooked with only a 70 culinarian
i forgor tomahawk
if you have to disengage from boss you gotta press tomahawk my guy
theres also a few small gcd clips
like theres some fundamentals that gotta be worked on
before id suggest hopping into ult
I keep missing out on fru totems because the degen gamers I play with wake up after I go to bed
it took you 15s to inner release

you dont even know your opener
but you are a degen
like youve gotta chill out
yeah I do I just didn't do it
extremes exist for you to practice and get better
I'm a degen but I sleep at normal people hours nowadays
youre still trying to fucking run a marathon before you can properly walk
i know what to press I just need to work on pressing it
yeah
yh but soon your be off school right for xmas
dont do ults right now
oh my god
just learn your job in uwu who cares
rotation is a basic fundamental expectation in savage and higher content, it isnt a place to get better at a job especially with how nonstandard the timelines are
it's an extreme
chiyo
don't give up, but also, listen to the endgame mentor 
I’m up for fru but I’d need to derust CT/pf end of p3 bc my group didn’t do the weird ass anti flex in the middle of it
you are not helping here
hit a training dummy for like 10 minutes
i'm not trying to be "helpful"
No yea I'm not trying to ignore sitri I was just saying
Even in new ults it’s fine to learn a job in them yeah
You’ll take longer progging it than you’ll need to learn the job
i'm so tired of people acting like uwu is some fucking bastion of difficulty and everyone needs to be god themself at the game to clear it
Understand the basics and the rest you’ll pick up
the problem is less that theyre learning a job and more that theyre learning the game to begin with
just put in the effort to improve while you're in there
and even if you suck now
it'll be fine by the time you're deep in
I discovered I was placing my inner release like 2-3 gcds after I should like 2-3 days ago
You are lacking context here my guy realism or trying to help you are not contributing positively to this conversation
more effort then say 90% of ppl
not only that but I literally got into ultimates the same way
That doesn’t matter either, being bad in an early uwu prog isn’t ruining anybodies life, he’s gotta learn some time
I think if anything I am most qualified to speak about this situation
if you know me you know I don't defend people who don't try
this is not one of those cases
Saying don’t try hard content now is how you get the people who think extreme isn’t casual content and ask how they’re supposed to get into endgame when it’s so hard
please get real
Yeah I found the message where I discovered what my opener is actually supposed to be
A day after uwu
It's BASICALLY the same but I drifted inner release by 2 gcds
no bueno
This is somebody who is looking at guides, learning openers, and actively trying their best to learn. There is zero better time for them to jump into content. They’ve done as much msq as people who progged uwu on release did.
You're not an average player.
I was a guy with zero MMO experience

who played shooters
a D2 player so even worse
Hi lizzer and cleave
Wha
whar
I didn't think anyone was getting angry or anything
Yes 

ok
eat while studying
eat first because your get disrtracted thinking about food
you'll probably study better when you're not hungry
this topic in particular gets me worked up because I am so sick and tired of watching people with motivation get talked down from doing anything hard just because they're "not good enough"
sue me
and 90% of the time the most vocal voices about it are those who have not done the content in question
That isn't a yes or no
will I get yelled at if I have an ultimate weapon and I mess up a mechanic in an extreme
no
you can head this off by saying "ultimate legend btw" yourself
Don’t think people are gonna care honestly
LMAO
but yeah nobody's gonna care
no but will be laughed at an say legend btw
at most people will like, laugh at you somewhere you can't see
Fucking up is part of the game
they won't yell at you
I see plenty of people with Ultimate titles and weapons die in content
All I do is Savage myself.
If you keep fucking up after being told how to solve the mechanic then you might get flamed
especially in extreme which is very generous in terms of difficulty and does not demand perfection
If they were going in and not trying at all I’d understand talking them down, but looking at guides and studying rotations and things is already above the average player drive wise and it’s nice to let them put the pen to the paper and test that.
Drive is the most important part of any prog
having an ultimate title speaks nothing of your capability to play the game beyond that one specific fight
so idk why people like to use that shit as a gotcha so much
ok I just don't wanna get yelled at lol but I do wanna improve and that's why I wanna do uwu cause if I get the harder content down I'm gonna naturally get better
you fuck up, you pick yourself back up and you try to do better the next time
fucking up is part of the game
Ultimate title means you can bang your head against a fight for 100 hours straight.
That's all
Yeah, occasional failures are completely expected and people will generally laugh them off
persistent failures at one mechanic, especially if it's before prog point, will be looked on much less favorably
now if you're joining a farm pf and are constantly fucking up the first mechanic or something
you'll get flamed and probably deservedly so
I've only been legend btw'd once, after I backflipped off last boss arena in amaurot on drg
If you join a Suppression party and consistently bugger Garuda, you should probably go
Deserved for not playing DRK like usual
I stumble my way through it
that's ok, you'll get better with it the more you practice it
You've seen Ifrit, right? I think Ifrit prog and cleaning up Garuda go hand in hand
At the very least I don't nuke the party
you'll find mechanics really slow down the more you do them
yea i saw ifrit twice
when I was learning p12s I couldn't wrap my head around superchain for a long time
An important part of progging later phases is getting more consistent at the earlier ones, since that way you can practice the later ones more often
but it got to the point where you realize
"oh it's actually very straightforward and I have way more time that I initially thought"
and the only way to really get to that point is to see it
over and over and over
and to fuck up
I don't really understand ifrit based off the toolbox so I'm a bit worried but it seems like it kinda boils down to "pop a mit in phase change and then invuln for buster"
over and over and over
at first
Literally how parts of M7S are
yeah exactly
Despite it shitting out damage constantly
m7s especially the third phase seems fucking insane at first
but then you actually do it
If you can get, oh, 40 pulls in one lockout, and you can go from having 50% of pulls die in Garuda to just 10%, then you've gone from 20 Ifrit attempts to 36, almost double the amount of tries
and it's like "oh this is chill"
fucking up is part of learning the game even if you've cleared a fight you're probably going to fuck things up you've seen 100 times
I appreciate the mentors and everything but also like
idk like practicing on a dummy is all well and good and I do it when I log on
target dummy practice only gets you so far
can I be real with you
but at the same time it doesn't matter if I'm under pressure
the mentor role means about as much as the crown in game
i'm gonna be so for real
ur not practicing in an actual instance
ur not actively pfing
u r gonna remain in this stagnant state until u actually pf and learn
to deal w the emotional stress
There's a world of difference between hitting a dummy with no mechanics versus actually practicing in the actual fight
target dummy will teach you how to do your rotation when you're doing literally nothing else, but when are you doing literally nothing else?
Yea that's what I was saying
under pressure
it's why I don't like labbing in fighting games
pressing down on me, pushing down on you
I prefer to eat shit for like 30 minutes until I get it
And that's exactly what prog is
yep
Hitting a dummy ain't going to do shit for ya as a healer
So basically prog is you going forward and back then forward and back then go forward and back and then one foot forward, forward and back then forward and back then go forward and back and then one foot forward, forward and back then forward and back then go forward and back and then one foot forward,
every person you look at that you think is good
was dogshit
we just played the game more
1111111111111111 yo my rotation is fire
Forward and Backshots
John Moomoo will finish the essay and get back on aether to prog cleanup for garuda
Why would you say that
"when does this muscle memory thing everyone talks about kick in"
the answer is
play another 2000 hours
prog is when you climb in the ring, we lock eyes and that's when I realize I am free, this is me, this is who I was meant to be, bare my claws, bare my fangs, my heart's racing, it's the will of the fight, as I run, and I howl, at the moon
...were you doing ucob at 300 hours in total or were you 300 hours into ucob
Chiyo, how long have you played the game?
It doesn’t hit the same without the emojis
at lvl 54

true true
total
damn
I started in 2.3
It was a month or two before arkveld
ok that makes a bit more sense
because i was like "300 hours in i don't think i was even done with stormblood yet"
Lost my sprout at 40 hours during post-arr
I did arr and heavensward and then got itchy feet and wanted to do content
so I just uh
paid for the fast pass
i started in 5.5
I really should do an Ultimate
I started in like 4.3 but quit very fast and didn't come back until 5.0, then quit again and didn't come back until 5.4 or so
I don't think I even did my first savage until long after edens promise was unlocked and had echo
im back in crafting ultimate now the 2nd planet is finished im 2/8 crafters finished on all missions
so like maybe 3 months or so before EW
I didn't do any ex until EW launch
or my grades would've been a lot worse than they were
Started in 3.3
if you startered earlier you would gotten a cheaper sub and a back tat
I started in 2.3, quit due to bad PC at the time. Bought heavensward early access, made my current character on PS4 during HW early access and started again.
But I was poor before
was always too afraid to jump into Diamond ex pf because I didn't know wtf I was doing
Haven't stopped since
I first played the free trial in 2.3 or something
if I'd known how low the bar was for ex I would've jumped in a lot sooner
I kept making accounts to play free trial
I was doing Thordan Ex as my first one lol
arr exs give a bad impression of what a ex is like , i give credit to titan
my first (synced) ex was literally zodiark
first ex was hydaelyn
god that was a good fight
cleared it during a zoom class
a raging gale line lives rent free idk why
golbez ex is actually a great example of that "mechanics slow down" thing I mentioned earlier
Heavenly Heel lives rent free in my head
gales 2 felt so fucking undoable at first
but it's actually so easy
you just gotta see it time and time and time again
zeromus while i think is a decent ex its the meteors that make you hate others do it wrong everyone ded so either sac or be right
I played a but in 2019 and I still have that character, but its not my main. I started my main in 5.5. First EX synced was 6.0, first savage was P1S
A RAGING GALE TO REND YOU ASUNDER
oh hey i know that line from normal
Didn't touch an ulti til last week
I SHALL FREE US FROM THE WHEEL
"Hey tank, how ya feeling?"
"Okay?"
sound of a dog toy getting stepped on due to Heavenly Heel
I've spent a little time in ultimate mines but never cleared one, never stepped into ucob or tea or dsr or top
moonbitch ex was my first ex but I cleared spooky choochoo before her
tsukiyomi
i wanna do TEA at some point but judging by my performance right now i need a LOT more practice before i commit 
I did cob > uwu > tea > dsr > top > golbez > anabaseios on echo patch 
I remember pulling up to an fc p9s learning party and they thought I was trolling when I said I hadn't done it yet
Midas then Creator for first two Savage tiers
We did DSR for 'fun'... through most of p2... I don't know if I want to go back. Ulti never appealed to me. But I guess if the static goes I will try.
both of my ultimate statics have been with the same group of FC people in uwu we got hardstuck in gaols and only saw Ultima weapon like twice, FRU we got stuck on light rampant because nobody else practiced 🙂 🙂 🙂
My bad
never saw p2 intermission
let alone p3 and beyond
we were on diamond dust for like 4 weeks it was painful
stuck on titan gaols
like... did they think you were trolling because it was late in the tier and you'd done ultimates, or because you played really well in the fight or something
many such cases
Faith in the AM
former
ah
I wonder if we're gonna get Brute Justice as M11
money time
if it means I get to listen to metal again I'm down
wait that would actually be so fire
metal or metal brute justice mode
the good version
TWENTY TWO SECTORS TESTED
I just didnt feel like typing it all out
we NEED a brute bomber fight though
if he doesn't come back again i'll riot
Brute (Bomber) Justice
We are in Alexandria after all.
especially if it means hector has to go "this... is hector"
too bad you'll do brutal impact raidwides again and you'll like it
To quote the song:
SHUT THE F#CK UP

and you'll do lariats
Again
Double Rocket Lariat.
ok to be fair the way they worked lariats into 7 was pretty neat
I get really hard on myself in savage when I mess up (so I don't often)... In ulti everyone messes up at first, but its way past my limit of personal muck ups I can allow.
yeah
Triple rocket powered spring loaded lariat
I liked 7 honestly the part where it was a fast prog that required a lot of cleaning up was nice
i get depressed after a single hour of savage anything
it wasn't peak but it was good
I'm referring to Alexander Brute Justice's double rocket punch tank buster
healers have to do their job imagine that
mountain fire was cool but if they reuse it it's like significantly less cool
True
my favorite buster is probably still wings dark and light ngl
I just liked how it was designed
The cool factor was juat a bonus
Everyone had to be part of it
wings buldak and lemon pepper
It couldn't just be cheesed with invulnerability
It prompted healers to like, heal
And tanks to like, not just press their long and short mit and snooze for the next 20 seconds

Oh right I was gonna say
i do like when tankbusters mandate total group participation
feels less like a filler mechanic that way
I'm noticing that like
That's a big issue I think
Valigarmanda Ex is still one of the coolest busters in the game
When 'tank buster' shows up in the cast it's a dead mech for everyone but the tanks
it sems that attacks where you have to hide or take cover are the ones that tend to kill through invuln
Meaning everyone gets 15+ seconds of nothing happening
Me eating the pans from Kefka as WHM and walking it off
we need more terrain-changing mechanics
they only do busters as actual mechanics in ultimate for the most part
like uh
which is lame
whatever the fuck it's called in e4s
e4s and p10s the goats
e4sp2 is still a lot more lame than p1 but tectonic is still a very cool concept
the one that makes a blue pit in the ground and it makes you die if you stay in there too long but you have to go there to survive the raidwide aoe
stares at p7s
what you dont like the basic square with pattern and lines that will do somthing with a mech
oh spectral berserker
I really like E3
that's a cool one for a normal mechanic tbh
is the savage for E3 good
Yeah
Maybe I'll pf it tomorrow
Black Smokers gets reused in Ifrit and Garuda Savage though
Then used again in P3S
buy a phone
leviathan leviathan
oh it's leviathan
leviathan leviathan
Hey so I have a drs appointment tomorrow when do I stop eating today
E12S was damn fun though
its a new patient appointment so they might do bloodwork
I also like DT EX2 for the final phase.
lol
I need more fast panic mechs
Low effort but high panic-ability
i need to do drs soon
