Idk but I did get clean sanct pulls on EU

#

Its just

daring pine
#

and people giga drift their stuff in duty finder anyway

wicked delta
#

The parties dont

#

Fucking FILL

stone flint
#

Nah it was on cd before fight started

#

Like 10-15 seconds left

wicked delta
#

Ive been sitting in them near daily lmfao

stone flint
#

Also i’d just prefer to have it then not because its like half my burst and I want to press buttons

rapid whale
#

so p3?

wicked delta
#

Basically yea

#

Im leveling healer there rn

#

So like

#

I have 3 jobs I can switch between

rapid whale
#

yea i waited 4 hours today for a party no luck

#

feelsbadman

daring pine
#

they put bard in the game

wicked delta
#

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

daring pine
#

tobi

rain geode
#

I need to start doing khloe's journals again

daring pine
#

if one more person sends me a tell asking if im fake melee bc im rdm

#

im killing them

stone flint
#

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

rain geode
#

yeah finding people to play with is a pain

stone flint
#

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

rapid whale
#

im 2 more games of fall guys away from being done my suffering almost ends

pale blade
#

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

daring pine
#

guys

rapid whale
#

most good players know it takes effort to get there and that comes with mistakes n all that jazz yea

daring pine
#

is it over

rapid whale
#

no back to the mines with you

trim frost
#

no

#

i forgot what blue is

daring pine
#

life is over

trim frost
#

is that high level

daring pine
#

its alliance

trim frost
#

oh

#

xd

daring pine
#

ct of doom

trim frost
#

if u have the bozja step that gives you loathsome it's not as bad

daring pine
#

no im on the step after that

#

💔

trim frost
#

start another relic twin

#

i have like 7 relics running concurrently for this reason

daring pine
trim frost
#

ouch

daring pine
#

are silver certs worth anything

#

can i make mony

#

o i can make like 500k

#

bro @trim frost

trim frost
#

i do not recall

daring pine
#

i just checked

#

u can get like 500k from the minions

#

but i'll just hold onto my certs for now

trim frost
#

thats something i guess

#

its not a 20 mil ornate piece tho 💔

daring pine
#

yeaaa

#

whats so good about ornate pieces anyway

#

5 slots so its guaranteed?

#

i was having a look earlier

pale blade
#

yeah

#

usually the DPS increase is minimal though

#

not much better than a non-ornate that's penta'd

daring pine
#

prob nice to have for a while at least

#

if you get lucky

pale blade
#

Probably

#

Or use it as a bargaining chip at the beginning of a tier

trim frost
#

oh

#

right

pale blade
#

mainly for money

trim frost
#

because you can meld all slots as 12s

#

i forgot

pale blade
#

yarp

true beacon
#

Ornate won’t be worth it until 8.0 tbh

rain geode
#

oh can you not penta meld 12s?

trim frost
#

not under normal circumstances no

#

because you can only put 12s in the first overmeld slot

true beacon
#

Only to the first overmeld slot

rain geode
#

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

robust shoal
pale blade
#

also how in the sweet hell are ornates "not worth" until 8.0

worn bluff
#

o i didn’t know it had replay

#

looks clean

pale blade
#

Like I'm pretty sure that ornates have the most use at the beginning of a tier

rapid whale
alpine plover
#

you're ornate

rapid whale
#

ornate deez

trim frost
#

like

#

wouldn't ornate only be valuable at the start of a tier

pale blade
#

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

trim frost
#

yeah

#

so i dont really get the not worth until 8.0 bit

pale blade
#

it's just straight-up wrong

#

just say it

rain geode
#

There no way people are manually setting markers this fast how are they doing it

pale blade
#

are they using presets or

shadow pilot
#

yeah should be using presets no?

pale blade
#

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

trim frost
#

some people have presets that just put "D1C BA4" around the boss

pale blade
#

I respect that so fucking much

tepid briar
#

graha don't be a chad challenge

pale blade
tepid briar
#

I heard

dull drum
pale blade
#

yeah

#

lol
lmao even

dull drum
#

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

pale blade
#

some people will do anything but admit being wrong lol

pale blade
dull drum
#

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

pale blade
#

Sorry I think I fed my last ornate to the rats

dull drum
#

uhhhh

jade nimbus
#

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?

dull drum
#

lemme think of a different example

torn kindle
#

IMO only go for Ornate if you wanna do week 1 race

pale blade
#

Yeah

#

W1 raiders will eat that shit up

torn kindle
#

Or If your group is super serious about week 1/2 clear

pale blade
#

But after week 1/2 it falls off hard like I said

#

It basically ends up being a collector's item after that

torn kindle
#

The value of ornate is also a bit questionable this tier since we’ll have more capped tomes before savage unlock

pale blade
#

yarp

dull drum
#

4 weeks of tomes

#

but hey if you wanna get the world first rep

pale blade
#

since the first three weeks + the week of Savage unlock is four weeks of tomes lol

torn kindle
#

Which is enough for chest+pants

#

Unless your role’s chest+pants have shit secondary stats, of course

fierce matrix
#

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

alpine plover
#

get ornate -> pf -> realize pf is trash -> dont clear week 1 -> replace ornate next week

pale blade
#

Since Anab?

#

Yeah

alpine plover
fierce matrix
#

Anab had pants/chest bis?

pale blade
#

Yeah

fierce matrix
#

On what role?

pale blade
#

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

rapid whale
#

Given how many weeks of tome were getting this time I wonder if ornate will be less valuable

torn kindle
#

Guess it’ll depend on the inherent stats of the ornate vs tomestone

fierce matrix
#

if anything Striking had both raid pieces

#

for chest/pants

pale blade
#

Yeah I said Striking

#

That was the only one I explicitly remembered

fierce matrix
#

Yeah im saying that tomestone chest/pants are not the best unless they changed the stats

pale blade
#

Pretty sure they've been the same since then

fierce matrix
#

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

pale blade
#

Yeah maybe I should consider making plans for my own burial then, Abyssos was so fucking long ago

fierce matrix
#

LOL you just had me confused

#

cause im like

#

i do not remember a tier where a job got fucked over that hard

novel garden
#

Being based by job I would think because I rocked the ornate for this tier until I got raid chest

fierce matrix
#

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

pale blade
#

Yeah they're gonna be stingy with tomestones

fierce matrix
#

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 xffing

stone flint
#

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

trim frost
#

i forget

#

are there situations where it's better to run a raid token gear piece over a crafted one for pre-savage prepping

pale blade
#

dawg we're all fucking old I guess

daring pine
#

idk maybe if the stats on the crafted piece are dogshit doodoobutter

fierce matrix
#

mainly for sks

daring pine
#

sks/sps i would imagine yeah

trim frost
daring pine
#

piety isn't real

fierce matrix
#

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

novel garden
#

Stares at my sks materia stack to slot in for monk gear

trim frost
#

oh yeah i gotta offload most of my materia for patch drop

#

ive been stockpiling for a while

pale blade
#

Give them all to me

#

I need to play gamba with Mutamix before the patch too

trim frost
#

i forget mutamix exists

pale blade
#

Me too man

trim frost
#

i don't think i've ever used him

stone flint
#

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

pale blade
#

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

trim frost
#

i dont even know when it's like

#

"optimal"

#

ah

#

yeah i guess i should do that huh

stone flint
#

I think it would be like a week and a half before someone pointed it out and posted it online

trim frost
#

usually i just toss it towards reconstruction lmao

rain geode
#

Alright theres 10 clears of Arkveld ex

pale blade
#

It's not entirely wrong to say that Tenacity and Piety materia is useless because I can just play gamba with Mutamix

valid solar
trim frost
#

doesn't it also kinda take a while because you can only do 5 at a time

pale blade
#

yarp

trim frost
#

blegh

valid solar
#

Lots of people who spend their time parsing and someone would notice the drop in their dps immediately

stone flint
#

2 days is still kinda crazy for how many people play this game

#

Riddle of Wind gotta be up there for useless abilities

trim frost
#

rather just sell it for cash or to some poor schmuck on the market board

stone flint
#

Not the follow up Dawntrail added

pale blade
#

lol

trim frost
#

materia crystals are $free.99 anyway

pale blade
#

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

stone flint
#

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

pale blade
#

yerp

trim frost
#

my retainer is holding all my excess materia in its mouth like a squirrel

stone flint
#

Does the burst phase feel better now

pale blade
#

did you force-feed your retainer with materia or something

trim frost
#

yes

pale blade
#

you sicken me

rain geode
#

they must have made the Arkveld mount real rare

stone flint
#

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

rain geode
#

sadly I didnt manage to get a parse above 50 but I get the feeling healer parses are very dependant on your team lol

stone flint
#

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

pale blade
#

No

stone flint
#

They already shoot kamehamehas just give them ki blasts

pale blade
#

No

stone flint
# pale blade No

You will spam meditation when avoiding aoes and you will like it

pale blade
#

No

stone flint
#

Fuck you mean no

#

What other options are there

trim frost
#

sss

pale blade
#

Being a parse-brained dumbass and failing spectacularly at trying to impress the rest of the group

stone flint
#

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

rain geode
#

What if Bard didn't have GCD ranged

stone flint
wicked delta
#

Potential bard

stone flint
#

What are the odds monk gets fully reworked in 8.0

#

17th monk rework incoming

stone flint
#

Idk why they did the Dawntrail rework in the first place

#

Endwalker monk was fun af

pale blade
#

to give them balls

stone flint
#

What monk needed was a third resource bar

#

Monk gotta have the ugliest hud in the game

alpine plover
#

tanks

#

do you hate this mechanic

pale blade
#

I am not a tank and that always gives me psychic damage

#

Especially when people gapclose too early

stone flint
#

What mechanic are yall talking about there

#

The spreads

pale blade
#

Revolutionary Reign, specifically the cone cleaves

#

also the half-room cleave the boss does

stone flint
#

Eh its kinda just another mechanic

pale blade
#

Well yeah

stone flint
#

Although yeah its annoying when people move too early

pale blade
#

I've gotten that mechanic nailed down and I can gapclose based on the snapshot entirely lol

#

I mainly just go off sound

stone flint
#

I use music for raids a lot

pale blade
#

Using the music for raid timelines is always based

stone flint
#

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

pale blade
#

But when it's a looping soundtrack it's kinda hard to do so

stone flint
#

then do the whole giant aoe bullshit

pale blade
#

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

jagged aspen
# alpine plover tanks

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?

amber fable
#

Press sprint

#

Move away before cleave happens

novel garden
#

I went tanking for first time in m8s recently, expected to fuck up revo apparently I did not

jagged aspen
#

or well, drg specifically. ive seen ppl elusive jump out and immediately gapclose again

amber fable
#

Mech wise its pretty simple

#

Its just getting used to timing

jagged aspen
#

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

pale blade
#

do you think MNK will have their balls removed one day

amber fable
#

Dont think so

#

Not in 8.0 I feel

pale blade
#

damn

#

maybe we gotta neuter MNK mains

#

that means myself as well

jagged aspen
#

what about sage balls

trim frost
#

bro when are we getting growing light on streaming

#

it’s been a year daddy

random needle
#

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?

sinful brook
#

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

random needle
#

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

versed kayak
#

idk it's not that hard to do gaols manually

#

or just sac strat if you can't do it

alpine plover
#

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?

kind elm
#

AM for lightning debuff in wrath makes me want to hit someone

#

just fucking look at your debuff

random needle
#

Looking at my debuffs and/or seeing the shock of lightning on my head is weawwy weawwy hawd

torn kindle
#

So hard to look at debuffs during forced downtime

#

Pls understand

kind elm
#

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

#

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

robust shoal
#

wrath kinda underrated imo

kind elm
#

like wrath isnt hard sure

#

but id say its p complex

#

theres alot going on there

tame shuttle
kind elm
#

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

zealous meteor
#

oh THATS who christmas lady elf cartoon is

random needle
#

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

kind elm
#

i can see that

random needle
#

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

kind elm
#

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

random needle
#

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

kind elm
#

thats true

#

but eventually after enough reps youll have the scenarios mostly muscle memory and can adjust on the fly without much mental load

robust shoal
#

protip move directly through the boss if it's gnash and you have center tower it makes you a cool dude

kind elm
#

its true

#

just dont be too slow on it

#

smile

#

or too fast

#

smile

dreamy whale
#

SpeChewing 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

timber stratus
#

personally i ragequit and flame if we dont reach 2 mechanics past prog point in random pfs

kind elm
#

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

dreamy whale
#

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

kind elm
#

i mean

#

this is true of most ppl

#

thats what prog is for

dreamy whale
#

oh

#

I thought I was just cooked

kind elm
#

thats why prog parties exist

#

people dont read the guide and go "yep ready to clear"

timber stratus
#

not me im built diff

kind elm
#

they have to actually get reps in

kind elm
dreamy whale
#

oh

zealous meteor
kind elm
#

how many reps it takes you to get it down depends on the person

dreamy whale
#

ermge

kind elm
#

there are some mechs that ppl can just eyeball after seeing once, like a lot of EX filler mechs are like that

dreamy whale
#

does 2 days of prog for unawakened p1 uwu sound bad

kind elm
#

i mean yes but also like

#

frankly

#

from what ive seen of you

dreamy whale
#

I am new CHAD

kind elm
#

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

dreamy whale
#

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

kind elm
#

you do

#

found it

robust shoal
#

uwu is the easy ulti but it's still ulti

dreamy whale
#

is it day one or two

timber stratus
#

its like how driving automatic is easy but you still need to know traffic rules

robust shoal
#

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

kind elm
#

nov 4th

dreamy whale
#

i think that's day 2?

#

if i didn't use inner release until a minute in it's day 1

kind elm
#

bro what the fuck is this log

#

the person who uploaded it

#

did uwu, tea, dsr

#

arkveld ex, unreal

dreamy whale
#

guh

kind elm
#

damn

dreamy whale
#

I had a goat in my pf

kind elm
#

from 9pm to 11am

#

holy

#

i think id die if i played that much ngl

zealous meteor
#

hasn't even cleared top SMH SMH

robust shoal
#

absolute specimen

dreamy whale
#

wait how do you see my log i can't find it

kind elm
#

just looked you up on tomestone

zealous meteor
kind elm
#

youre "Literally Him" right

dreamy whale
#

Ya

#

I'm cooked

zealous meteor
#

you're not, you just need practice. lots and lots and lots and lots of practice

clear plume
kind elm
#

this log is a lot better than last time but theres still some rough patches

#

theres alot of points where you just stop gcding

steep narwhal
kind elm
#

this looks like the out+mistral songs

#

you arent tomahawking

#

youre just afking

zealous meteor
#

how are you cooked with only a 70 culinarian

dreamy whale
#

i forgor tomahawk

kind elm
#

if you have to disengage from boss you gotta press tomahawk my guy

#

theres also a few small gcd clips

dreamy whale
#

50% upheaval wallahi

#

i'm finished

kind elm
#

like theres some fundamentals that gotta be worked on

#

before id suggest hopping into ult

jolly flume
kind elm
#

it took you 15s to inner release

jolly flume
kind elm
#

you dont even know your opener

kind elm
#

like youve gotta chill out

dreamy whale
#

SpeChewing yeah I do I just didn't do it

vestal hollow
#

extremes exist for you to practice and get better

jolly flume
vestal hollow
#

youre still trying to fucking run a marathon before you can properly walk

dreamy whale
#

i know what to press I just need to work on pressing it

kind elm
#

yeah

boreal pumice
#

yh but soon your be off school right for xmas

kind elm
#

ultimate is not the place to do that

#

im ngl

vestal hollow
kind elm
#

uwu isnt going anywhere oomf

#

make sure you can actually hit your buttons

dreamy whale
#

Oh this was before I looked at the balance

#

yeah you're right

kind elm
#

oh my god

jolly flume
#

just learn your job in uwu who cares

vestal hollow
#

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

jolly flume
#

it's an extreme

vestal hollow
#

chiyo

zealous meteor
#

don't give up, but also, listen to the endgame mentor neofox_thumbsup

clear plume
#

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

vestal hollow
#

you are not helping here

steep narwhal
#

hit a training dummy for like 10 minutes

jolly flume
#

i'm not trying to be "helpful"

dreamy whale
#

No yea I'm not trying to ignore sitri I was just saying

jolly flume
#

i'm being realistic because it doesn't fucking matter

clear plume
#

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

jolly flume
#

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

clear plume
#

Understand the basics and the rest you’ll pick up

kind elm
#

the problem is less that theyre learning a job and more that theyre learning the game to begin with

jolly flume
#

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

dreamy whale
#

I discovered I was placing my inner release like 2-3 gcds after I should like 2-3 days ago

jolly flume
#

they've shown the willingness to improve

#

that's all anything in this game requires

vestal hollow
jolly flume
#

I literally went into uwu with them

#

I was there

boreal pumice
jolly flume
#

not only that but I literally got into ultimates the same way

clear plume
#

That doesn’t matter either, being bad in an early uwu prog isn’t ruining anybodies life, he’s gotta learn some time

jolly flume
#

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

clear plume
#

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

jolly flume
#

please get real

dreamy whale
#

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

clear plume
#

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.

vestal hollow
jolly flume
#

I am not an average player now

#

what was I when I first started?

tame shuttle
#

Hey alright

jolly flume
#

I was a guy with zero MMO experience

kindred bison
jolly flume
#

who played shooters

boreal pumice
#

a D2 player so even worse

jolly flume
#

yes

#

even worse

dreamy whale
#

Hi lizzer and cleave

kindred bison
#

Oi

#

Need I actually say it or not?

tame shuttle
#

Wha

dreamy whale
#

whar

steep narwhal
#

do i eat food rn and study after

#

or study more and eat food after

dreamy whale
#

I didn't think anyone was getting angry or anything

tame shuttle
steep narwhal
steep narwhal
dreamy whale
#

eat while studying

boreal pumice
#

eat first because your get disrtracted thinking about food

zealous meteor
jolly flume
#

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

kindred bison
#

That isn't a yes or no

dreamy whale
#

SpeChewing will I get yelled at if I have an ultimate weapon and I mess up a mechanic in an extreme

steep narwhal
#

no

loud nymph
worldly grotto
#

Don’t think people are gonna care honestly

dreamy whale
#

LMAO

loud nymph
#

but yeah nobody's gonna care

boreal pumice
#

no but will be laughed at an say legend btw

zealous meteor
#

at most people will like, laugh at you somewhere you can't see

worldly grotto
#

Fucking up is part of the game

zealous meteor
#

they won't yell at you

kindred bison
#

I see plenty of people with Ultimate titles and weapons die in content

#

All I do is Savage myself.

worldly grotto
#

If you keep fucking up after being told how to solve the mechanic then you might get flamed

loud nymph
#

especially in extreme which is very generous in terms of difficulty and does not demand perfection

clear plume
#

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

jolly flume
#

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

dreamy whale
#

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

loud nymph
#

you fuck up, you pick yourself back up and you try to do better the next time

#

fucking up is part of the game

kindred bison
#

Ultimate title means you can bang your head against a fight for 100 hours straight.

#

That's all

random needle
loud nymph
#

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

robust shoal
#

I've only been legend btw'd once, after I backflipped off last boss arena in amaurot on drg

random needle
#

If you join a Suppression party and consistently bugger Garuda, you should probably go

dreamy whale
#

I can mostly do mistral song but

#

I have to clean it up

kindred bison
dreamy whale
#

I stumble my way through it

loud nymph
random needle
#

You've seen Ifrit, right? I think Ifrit prog and cleaning up Garuda go hand in hand

dreamy whale
#

At the very least I don't nuke the party

loud nymph
#

you'll find mechanics really slow down the more you do them

dreamy whale
#

yea i saw ifrit twice

loud nymph
#

when I was learning p12s I couldn't wrap my head around superchain for a long time

random needle
#

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

loud nymph
#

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

dreamy whale
#

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"

loud nymph
#

over and over and over

dreamy whale
#

at first

kindred bison
loud nymph
kindred bison
#

Despite it shitting out damage constantly

loud nymph
#

m7s especially the third phase seems fucking insane at first

#

but then you actually do it

random needle
#

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

loud nymph
#

and it's like "oh this is chill"

dreamy whale
#

ohhh

#

okok

loud nymph
#

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

dreamy whale
#

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

loud nymph
#

target dummy practice only gets you so far

jolly flume
#

can I be real with you

dreamy whale
#

but at the same time it doesn't matter if I'm under pressure

jolly flume
#

the mentor role means about as much as the crown in game

steep narwhal
#

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

random needle
#

There's a world of difference between hitting a dummy with no mechanics versus actually practicing in the actual fight

loud nymph
#

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?

dreamy whale
#

Yea that's what I was saying

loud nymph
#

learn by doing

#

failure is how you learn

boreal pumice
#

under pressure

dreamy whale
#

it's why I don't like labbing in fighting games

loud nymph
dreamy whale
#

I prefer to eat shit for like 30 minutes until I get it

random needle
#

And that's exactly what prog is

loud nymph
#

yep

kindred bison
#

Hitting a dummy ain't going to do shit for ya as a healer

worldly grotto
#

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,

jolly flume
#

every person you look at that you think is good

#

was dogshit

#

we just played the game more

boreal pumice
jolly flume
#

I remember when I was like 300 hours in doing ucob

I was like

dreamy whale
#

John Moomoo will finish the essay and get back on aether to prog cleanup for garuda

worldly grotto
jolly flume
#

"when does this muscle memory thing everyone talks about kick in"

#

the answer is

#

play another 2000 hours

loud nymph
zealous meteor
kindred bison
#

Chiyo, how long have you played the game?

worldly grotto
#

It doesn’t hit the same without the emojis

jolly flume
#

I cleared three ultimates before I lost my sprout in endwalker

#

I started in 6.4

kindred bison
loud nymph
dreamy whale
#

I started in uhh

#

7.3

zealous meteor
#

damn

kindred bison
#

I started in 2.3

dreamy whale
#

It was a month or two before arkveld

jolly flume
#

it would've been like 500 if I didn't story skip stb I guess

#

but I did do that

zealous meteor
#

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"

kindred bison
#

Lost my sprout at 40 hours during post-arr

jolly flume
#

I did arr and heavensward and then got itchy feet and wanted to do content

#

so I just uh

#

paid for the fast pass

boreal pumice
#

i started in 5.5

kindred bison
#

I really should do an Ultimate

loud nymph
#

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

boreal pumice
#

im back in crafting ultimate now the 2nd planet is finished im 2/8 crafters finished on all missions

loud nymph
#

so like maybe 3 months or so before EW

jolly flume
#

I wish I'd started playing 14 earlier

#

but alas

#

maybe it's a good thing I didn't

loud nymph
#

I didn't do any ex until EW launch

jolly flume
#

or my grades would've been a lot worse than they were

visual geyser
#

Started in 3.3

boreal pumice
#

if you startered earlier you would gotten a cheaper sub and a back tat

kindred bison
#

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.

visual geyser
#

But I was poor before

loud nymph
#

was always too afraid to jump into Diamond ex pf because I didn't know wtf I was doing

kindred bison
#

Haven't stopped since

visual geyser
#

I first played the free trial in 2.3 or something

loud nymph
#

if I'd known how low the bar was for ex I would've jumped in a lot sooner

visual geyser
#

I kept making accounts to play free trial

kindred bison
#

I was doing Thordan Ex as my first one lol

boreal pumice
loud nymph
#

my first (synced) ex was literally zodiark

dreamy whale
#

My first ex is uhh

#

Shiva

jolly flume
#

I think I did golbez lol

#

a raging gale to rend you asunder

dull drum
#

first ex was hydaelyn

loud nymph
dull drum
#

cleared it during a zoom class

boreal pumice
#

a raging gale line lives rent free idk why

loud nymph
#

golbez ex is actually a great example of that "mechanics slow down" thing I mentioned earlier

kindred bison
#

Heavenly Heel lives rent free in my head

loud nymph
#

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

boreal pumice
#

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

"Hey tank, how ya feeling?"
"Okay?"
sound of a dog toy getting stepped on due to Heavenly Heel

loud nymph
#

I've spent a little time in ultimate mines but never cleared one, never stepped into ucob or tea or dsr or top

robust shoal
#

moonbitch ex was my first ex but I cleared spooky choochoo before her

loud nymph
#

I think I want to clear TEA as my first

#

just need to find the energy to pf it

zealous meteor
#

i wanna do TEA at some point but judging by my performance right now i need a LOT more practice before i commit namazuconcern

jolly flume
#

I did cob > uwu > tea > dsr > top > golbez > anabaseios on echo patch drained

#

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

kindred bison
#

Midas then Creator for first two Savage tiers

spice path
#

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.

loud nymph
#

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 🙂 🙂 🙂

wicked delta
#

My bad

never saw p2 intermission

let alone p3 and beyond

we were on diamond dust for like 4 weeks it was painful

I wonder if we're gonna get Brute Justice as M11

if it means I get to listen to metal again I'm down

zealous meteor
#

metal or metal brute justice mode

jolly flume

#

TWENTY TWO SECTORS TESTED

jolly flume
#

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

kindred bison
#

Brute (Bomber) Justice

loud nymph
#

Brute Reanimator

#

Brute Zombinator

jolly flume
#

I dont want to see brutal impact anymore

kindred bison
#

We are in Alexandria after all.

zealous meteor
#

especially if it means hector has to go "this... is hector"

loud nymph
#

too bad you'll do brutal impact raidwides again and you'll like it

mortal flower
loud nymph
#

and you'll do lariats

Again

kindred bison
#

Double Rocket Lariat.

jolly flume
#

ok to be fair the way they worked lariats into 7 was pretty neat

spice path
#

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.

loud nymph
#

yeah

mortal flower
loud nymph
#

I liked 7 honestly the part where it was a fast prog that required a lot of cleaning up was nice

trim frost
#

i get depressed after a single hour of savage anything

loud nymph
#

it wasn't peak but it was good

kindred bison
#

I'm referring to Alexander Brute Justice's double rocket punch tank buster

jolly flume
#

thats actually a neat buster

#

setting the tanks to 1hp before it

mortal flower
#

Imagine that, plus mountainfire

jolly flume
#

healers have to do their job imagine that

mortal flower
#

That'd be sick

#

Mountainfire truly is the best dawntrail had to offer

jolly flume
#

mountain fire was cool but if they reuse it it's like significantly less cool

jolly flume
#

my favorite buster is probably still wings dark and light ngl

mortal flower
#

I just liked how it was designed

#

The cool factor was juat a bonus

#

Everyone had to be part of it

trim frost
#

wings buldak and lemon pepper

mortal flower
#

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

dreamy whale
#

Oh right I was gonna say

trim frost
#

i do like when tankbusters mandate total group participation

jolly flume
#

ok idk about the healers have to heal part

#

but the rest sure

trim frost
#

feels less like a filler mechanic that way

dreamy whale
#

I'm noticing that like

mortal flower
kindred bison
#

Valigarmanda Ex is still one of the coolest busters in the game

mortal flower
#

When 'tank buster' shows up in the cast it's a dead mech for everyone but the tanks

dreamy whale
#

it sems that attacks where you have to hide or take cover are the ones that tend to kill through invuln

mortal flower
#

Meaning everyone gets 15+ seconds of nothing happening

kindred bison
trim frost
#

we need more terrain-changing mechanics

jolly flume
#

they only do busters as actual mechanics in ultimate for the most part

trim frost
#

like uh

jolly flume
#

which is lame

trim frost
#

whatever the fuck it's called in e4s

jolly flume
#

TECTONIC UPLIFT

#

MY GOAT

#

MY KING

loud nymph
trim frost
#

nonstandard arena shapes are also fun

#

usually

jolly flume
#

e4sp2 is still a lot more lame than p1 but tectonic is still a very cool concept

dreamy whale
# trim frost like uh

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

trim frost
#

stares at p7s

boreal pumice
#

what you dont like the basic square with pattern and lines that will do somthing with a mech

trim frost
#

oh spectral berserker

dreamy whale
#

I really like E3

loud nymph
dreamy whale
#

is the savage for E3 good

kindred bison
#

Yeah

dreamy whale
#

Maybe I'll pf it tomorrow

kindred bison
#

Black Smokers gets reused in Ifrit and Garuda Savage though

Then used again in P3S
