[alpine plover]

love my friends

[fierce matrix]

Why do we have supp Left dps right for apoc lineup

Why not lp1 left lp2 right

And instead of having a healer haul fucking ass across rhe entire arena if they need to flex you just send the stupid rphys

[jolly flume]

role based apoc I don't actually have a problem with but I do think putting OT at the second top of the flex prio while also making them bait is kinda toxic lol

there was actually a time during which the caster flexed for the prange

with naur strats

[fierce matrix]

You know how you make it easier

[alpine plover]

naur friends

what is your prio for CT

[fierce matrix]

MT always takes the plant spot

Or the marker

[jolly flume]

wym prio

oh

[fierce matrix]

Whereas the OT always takes the flex spot

[jolly flume]

we do supports left dps right looking at the crystal

[fierce matrix]

The flex spot, left or right of the marker

[jolly flume]

flex prio mt ot h1 h2

[fierce matrix]

IS ALWAYS THE SPOT YOU RUN OUT AT

[jolly flume]

also yeah this

[alpine plover]

hm

then wtf is MUR

[fierce matrix]

Instead of left/right

[jolly flume]

mt plant on marker is infinitely better

[fierce matrix]

Exactly

Even NAUR told me this

But because of all the bs they had with their shit already

They were so against changing

[quick verge]

the day will come when UPR rises from the ashes

the golden age will return

[jolly flume]

idk when I came back to fru a few weeks ago I found out the changed a bunch of shit for no reason

[worn bluff]

OT asleep for first 2 phases then suddenly has the hardest job for the rest of the fight

[jolly flume]

including the mit sheet

[fierce matrix]

NAUR isnt even the problem tbh, the issue is the amount of people putting their hands in the pot with how piss easy light heavyweight was and the amount of people stepping into ulti after the long haul of DSR/TOP in EW

[jolly flume]

they changed CT positioning of all things for rewinds

thankfully it doesn't matter because it's a fake mechanic anyways but like why

ratio+arm's length

[fierce matrix]

So real

Its literally why I wont do it

Cause I only learned anti kb. And ngl its not hard to do it legit

[dreamy whale]

What ultimate is The Perfect Legend

[fierce matrix]

But I dont want to have to prog through shit

TEA

[dreamy whale]

Okok

[worn bluff]

what did they change D:

[dreamy whale]

One of my friends has it

[random needle]

UCoB is Legend, UWU is Ultimate Legend, TEA is Perfect Legend, DSR is Heavens' Legend, TOP is Alpha Legend, FRU is Genesis of Legends

[fierce matrix]

The Legend: UCOB
Ultimate Legend: UWU
Perfect Legend: TEA
Heaven's Legend: DSR
Alpha Legend: TOP
Genesis of Legends: FRU

Fuck

[jolly flume]

everyone is like slightly tighter around the marker now

[fierce matrix]

[jolly flume]

you remember how tanks used to drop inside the little circles

on the outside of the arena

[random needle]

One frame ahead 🥀

[jolly flume]

it's like half as far from the marker now

[fierce matrix]

I GOT DDOSED

[fierce matrix]

Just change it to anti kb

[worn bluff]

oh i remember that

[fierce matrix]

Can we do what they did with tea

[worn bluff]

i thought it was some new change

[fierce matrix]

And just change it

Its for the better

[quick verge]

notice how kb mirrors was the strat for e8s

but naur wont make kb ct the strat in 2025

no appreciation for the culture

[jolly flume]

kb mirrors in e8s

is literally harder

than kbi ct

and ppl still won't do it

[quick verge]

it is the same difficulty

you press the button at your preferred fixed point

[jolly flume]

you dont have a 5 second window with 0 positioning req in e8s

you sure do in ct!

[quick verge]

notice how LR is the hardest mechanic in fru

and not CT

[random needle]

What's the actual strat for KB mirrors in e8s? Is it just "LP1 in front for the first one, then LP2 is already in place for the second"?

[quick verge]

yes

the tank that took the first mirror moves in front of their group after

and u pop kb the second ryne turns to face mt or smth

[brisk scarab]

Its funny seeing the names of phases in Ults and not knowing what that they are LOL

[boreal pumice]

https://tenor.com/view/jfk-clone-high-i-like-your-funny-words-magic-man-jack-black-gif-18659433

[random needle]

Related to that, is it a wild charge? My blind group thought whoever was closest to the mirror would take more damage than the others, but I think I've heard otherwise from others

[brisk scarab]

Actually me

What do you all think theyll do for the EX wings for the new trial?

I have no idea how theyd make it train themed

[worn bluff]

i hope it has a little steam chimney

[random needle]

You can always ask and learn

[brisk scarab]

If any are in relation to FRU Ill know soon enough

[boreal pumice]

so kinda like the sge wpns from the garlanmald dungeon

[quick verge]

yes

it's wild charge and the next 3 ppl in line or smth get magic vuln

your tank if they didnt invuln (they shouldn't) get giga chunked by mirror

[random needle]

I know a little more about FRU than I did before because I've been watching Chiyo in PF, but I'm still somewhat vague on precise details

[random needle]

I think our tanks saved invuln for WL2

[jolly flume]

you know the only thing that's important

YOU'RE MITRON!

[quick verge]

her awakening is incomplete

their memories weaken the link

[random needle]

Ugh... Aaaaaaagh!!

[jolly flume]

such impediments to our resonance must be expunged

come to me, hraesvelgr!

[brisk scarab]

You can use totems to get any weapon regardless of job you cleared with right

[jolly flume]

yeah

[quick verge]

voice acting lowkey tuff

[brisk scarab]

Nice, because Im not good enough on DRK to clear with it, but BLM weapon just does not appeal to me

[random needle]

The most compelling reason for the next ult to be an Ascians speedround is that it'd get Rene Zagger back in the booth as Emet

[quick verge]

next ultimate is four lords

nice try though

[brisk scarab]

Is there like, a pattern to the Ult themes?

[quick verge]

raid series and msq

[boreal pumice]

w/e seems cool

[random needle]

There was, sorta, but FRU broke it a little

[quick verge]

ucob, tea, top, fru, based on 8 man raid series

[random needle]

UCoB was based on ARR raids, coils
UWU was based on ARR MSQ, with the primals and Ultima Weapon
TEA was based on HW raids, Alexander
DSR was based on HW MSQ
TOP was based on SB raids, Omega

So you'd expect the next ult to be SB MSQ, but instead FRU skipped ahead to be about ShB raids

[brisk scarab]

Dang LOL

[rapid whale]

means we get either zenos or hades ultimate im down either way

[random needle]

So now it's kind of a tossup what the next ult is gonna be about, with the main arguments being either Zenos ult (likely based on both Stormblood and Endwalker), Ascians ult (probably specifically the Unsundered), and the black sheep pick, Four Lords

[dreamy whale]

Lightwarden Ult

[pine holly]

I remember theorizing that there would be a Zenos ultimate on here and got called an idiot but I'm still assuming that's why StB msq ult was skipped.

[rapid whale]

valid

[random needle]

I think the Wardens being a trios phase in a ShB MSQ ult would be neat personally

[distant knoll]

secret fourth thing: warring triad ult

[quick verge]

people been saying warring triad ult since 2017

it's not happening nephew

on everyone's soul

[dreamy whale]

Hear me out

[sly basin]

ZENOSUSSY 🔥

[pine holly]

I could see an ultimate built around the lightbringers where the finale is Graha absorbing the light like he originally planned to.

[sly basin]

i would try ultimate for once

[pine holly]

But otherwise it would be cool to see them for a phase

[random needle]

Of all characters in the game, I feel like Zenos would be the next best candidate to have a TOP style ult where you're just fighting the one person over and over

[dreamy whale]

Ascian ultimate where you go from ARR through Elpis

[visual geyser]

Ass

[jolly flume]

shb msq ultimate or I uninstall

[distant knoll]

masked (rhalgr's reach appearance) -> unmasked (ala mhigo) -> shinryu -> secret fourth thing -> secret fifth thing

it's peak

[rapid whale]

i still cooked with my shb ultimate ideas

[random needle]

I had some kind of ShB ult idea kicking around somewhere

[dreamy whale]

And then they do some time fuckery where the past ascians help you defeat their “present” selves and then you all team up to beat Hermes and stay besties with Meteion

[cerulean crown]

4th thing is just him in the ew unstance

[random needle]

I think it ended with Zenos absorbing an Ascian Prime of Emet-Selch and Elidibus

[visual geyser]

I sleep

Wanting an ultimate fight of dungeon bosses and a solo instance

We are so cooked chat

[distant knoll]

i dont want a zenos ult

[brisk scarab]

Should WoL or Hades be final ShB MSQ Ult boss

[distant knoll]

im just joking lol

[pine holly]

He punts Fandaniel out of the way and dives into Zodiark

We get spinny platform mechs

[cerulean crown]

hmmmm most likely actually wol but i want it to be hades

[pine holly]

It will probably be both

[distant knoll]

ascian prime of hades/wol

[jolly flume]

the real question is not what the next ultimate will be but what variation of exaflares it will have

[graceful cairn]

I’d imagine they’d just fuse them. Seems to be a trend

[brisk scarab]

The thing is how could they give Hades another form when his EX gave him like, another ANOTHER appearance

[random needle]

Okay I found my idea

[pine holly]

"Fine bitch I'm the Warrior of Darkness now." - Elidibus 2026

[jolly flume]

can we just timeskip to pandaemonium ultimate

I want to listen to fleeting moment but over an actually good fight this time

[distant knoll]

works for me

[brisk scarab]

What about The Twelve

[pine holly]

Is fleeting moment the p11 theme

[jolly flume]

yes

[distant knoll]

the world needs more pandaemonium (as in like, the spider-building dude)

[loud nymph]

I still hope 7.5 ultimate is ShB MSQ, leading to a "what if the crystal exarch actually absorbed all the aether from the lightwardens"

[rapid whale]

havent we fought fandaniel enough times for them to have their own ultimate lol

[loud nymph]

because I want to see peoples' reactions to having to kill g'raha

[brisk scarab]

Are all the Ults What If scenarios

[jolly flume]

based

kill all catboys

[rapid whale]

i think so?

[jolly flume]

not necessarily what ifs but like

just minstrel fanfiction

none of it is canon

[brisk scarab]

Ahhh I see

[random needle]

Yeah

[rapid whale]

ironically i like thinking of ultimates as lore accurate strength tho

[loud nymph]

UWU is basically "what if the Ultima weapon was cooler"

[worn bluff]

"what if ryne dyed her hair and bought wings from mogstation"

[random needle]

I think DSR is the most what-if one of them all, since it's explicitly about "what if Haurchefant lived"

[jolly flume]

No one will erase our promise. No one!

[random needle]

TOP as well, since it's "what if Omega figured out Dynamis"

[brisk scarab]

I figured it wasnt canon, but I was wondering if they just theme it on whatever theyre doing and just mix and match bosses in relation, or do a scenario where they just show what could have happened or something

[pine holly]

I will pretend that I'm slaughtering a denizen of Limsa

[distant knoll]

what if alexander did some voltron shit

🔥

[rapid whale]

top is what if omega learned the power of friendship sooner

[worn bluff]

what if alexander had FEET

[jolly flume]

[random needle]

UCoB is "what if Bahamut drowned in pbutter"

[rapid whale]

silly sapphire a putter is a golf club

[loud nymph]

I mean he already did with bj but

[distant knoll]

and then the 8.0 smn button is just golden baha 🔥✍️

[loud nymph]

still unironically peak

[brisk scarab]

I never fought Bahamut properly, so maybe I should revisit him unsynced sometime

Or just do the Ult LOL

[jolly flume]

golden is a pretty cool phase

extremely nothing burger but still cool

[pine holly]

What if Lahabrea didn't go down bad for a weird demon lady or something

[random needle]

UCoB is fun once you're past p1 promise

[random needle]

Immaculate vibes, even if the only real mechanic is exaflares

[rapid whale]

surely panda ultimate will be erichtonious being used as a vessel completely right

[jolly flume]

[random needle]

I'd be down for that sometime tbh, even if I don't plan to do top anytime soon

[rapid whale]

[random needle]

I'm still trying to not grief DSR brother 😭

[jolly flume]

I'm down but we're doing it mine

[rapid whale]

LOLL

[jolly flume]

it's time to snake prio

[random needle]

... Okay but surely snake prio can't be that hard, right? It's just like the dives in p4, surely

Surely

[jolly flume]

I mean yeah that's basically what it is

you're just doing more than like

afking there waiting for a dive to hit you

but the concept is the same

man I wish I could get people to do old stuff more often

[loud nymph]

snake prio is easy as long as people notice flexes and don't greed with gaze

so impossible

[jolly flume]

I have rolled my gcd exactly the same this pull as last pull, therefore surely the greed that failed last pull will work this time

[rapid whale]

not me inching closer and closer to early pulling

[dreamy whale]

What should I use in place of Grand Impact at 60

Oh another verthunder

[random needle]

There's not really much you can replace in your opener or bursts at low levels compared to high levels

Unless there's other people who have locked in in developing rotations and bursts for MiNE Alexander already, all I can really say is "try to get at least two melee combos in under burst"

And make sure to have oGCD damage buttons up for it if you can, but beyond that

[random needle]

If your experience is anything like mine in MiNE legacy content, you're way more likely to wipe to mechanical failures than to enrage, so make sure those are being done right first and foremost, then clean up for damage after. Try not to get too lost in the weeds when there's other stuff to focus on

[rapid whale]

99% of wipes are caused by mechs its true

maybe even 99.99%

[jolly flume]

unless you're doing awktrail gear sheet (and even then)

enrage is basically not ever real on mine

[trim frost]

honestly speaking i wouldn’t even bother with rotation optimization until you’re at least level 70+ and intend on going into savage/ult

[rain geode]

arent jobs just generally much stronger then they were even at min Ilevl

[trim frost]

cuz outside of that you can just play however you want and nobody cares

[random needle]

I'm going to get a noise complaint when I finish DSR

[jolly flume]

I got one when I cleared ucob

[random needle]

My UCoB clear was surprisingly chill I think, I somehow entered a zen state when I entered p5

[rapid whale]

https://tenor.com/view/soccer-football-anime-blue-lock-isagi-yoichi-gif-27440248

that moment before you clear

[jolly flume]

yeah thats not me

I start shaking like I have parkinsons

nerves are the reason I could never get better at osu

[clear plume]

I like that every ultimate has meditation breaks before it’s final phase

Close your eyes and take a second to refocus and lock it in

(Except uwu)

[random needle]

I was like that for e8s, though mostly because I was sick of the fight and I knew the wrong person dying in WL2 could be the end

[jolly flume]

it's hard to tell from my vods because my voice just sounds perma dead inside no matter how I actually feel but my hands are doing their best hitachi wand impression

[loud nymph]

this is me in final savage floors, unsure how I'd react to ultimate but probably similar

[random needle]

It doesn't help that e8s is a pretty long fight, and we were down to the wire on MiNE

[clear plume]

I honestly have never gotten stress about ffxiv raiding bc like

[rain geode]

The longer the fight gets the harder it gets to keep your cool

[clear plume]

There isn’t anything lost for failing? Compared to a game with a ranked ladder or something similar where you can spend an hour on a game and end up behind where you are, ffxiv is a less demanding game but all you lose is 15m if you mess up a final phase and going again isn’t an issue, you aren’t behind where you started

Not trying to downplay it or anything obviously people don’t choose stress

But it’s just something I’ve never gotten or understood about this game

[quick verge]

the most stressful thing about wiping in ffxiv is that you dont get to play other video games

[jolly flume]

the stress comes from living up to the expectations I have of myself

lol

[random needle]

I think it's just kinda the nature of anything with a significant time investment that can very easily fall apart if you lose focus at any point

[jolly flume]

I get in my own head

[clear plume]

Jokes on you I’ve played second monitor magic the gathering mid raid anyways

[rain geode]

I mean having a clear is kinda just the exact same thing as reaching a certain rank at the end of the day

[random needle]

Not the best example, but it's like building a house of cards

[quick verge]

do you tilt and actively play worse when you fuck up

[random needle]

If it collapses when you've only made like 2 stacks, whatever, you can start again and get where you were quick

If you flinch when placing the last two cards, the entire thing collapses and the last 10+ minutes are practically wasted

[jolly flume]

no

[quick verge]

ok

[jolly flume]

but that mistake sticks in my head for like a week

[random needle]

I'm fluctuating on whether I can shake off mistakes or if I get in my head

[rapid whale]

just play that taylor swift song ez

[clear plume]

You made a mistake. A mistake is a flaw. You are a flawed human being who couldn't pay attention and play a game perfectly for 19 minutes. You disgrace your family, your upbringing, your academic and professional training. You don't deserve love. You don't even deserve to be alive.

1. Instant coma
2. Heart explode

50 cans of empty energy drinks

3 cans of monster: palpitations

Sometimes coffee helps wake me up, other times it makes me want to pass out in my chair

[jolly flume]

I had a resting heart rate of 170 during a d2 raid race once

that was fun

The problem is that it's usually the latter when it really shouldn't be doing that (read: in a work meeting)

now I know not to chug three cans of monster in as many hours

why are people addicted to that low grade drug

tuliyollal housing could be so cool, like what if the houses were just all elevated over the water

[wicked delta]

Crystarium housing id be on that shit frame 1

idk why they haven’t pulled the trigger on new housing districts yet, the oversaturation would solve every issue people have with housing

[wicked delta]

[random needle]

They did mention they're overhauling the systems in the last LL, no? Maybe they'll roll out a new housing district to go with them

next expac is ilsabard right

[random needle]

There will be at least one fight set on top of the 104

[whole estuary]

you mean like, the cloudy parts we haven't gone to?

who knows

[random needle]

I'm waiting to see if 7.4 will give us a stronger hint to the next destination or nah

[zealous meteor]

electrope has many uses ed boy

[whole estuary]

a lot of it seems to be intraversible wasteland

[zealous meteor]

devs turning a dial labeled "source to shard ratio" and looking at the audience for approval

[random needle]

No no, you're supposed to say "Watch and learn!"

Or Alternatively, "Fenrir's power can be wielded in surprising ways."

[zealous meteor]

do you think they use their feral souls in the bedroom

[whole estuary]

they'd probably fill up the whole room in big mode

mfw i run into someone who’s character’s surname is darkblade

[whole estuary]

Beeg

[daring pine]

my first character's last name is darkheart

help

i was going to change it eventually but it's been collecting dust for a while

[whole estuary]

that's kinda like Edda

except when she goes dark she switches to bosom

[versed kayak]

scoops!

[daring pine]

you can guess which job i played when i got into the game at first

[whole estuary]

lancer?

[daring pine]

drk

[rain geode]

wait you can only do island sanctuary in your homeworld? why is island sanctuary the worse thing ever.

[daring pine]

can't you also only do cosmic in your homeworld or something

[whole estuary]

That's not particularly unique for crafter gatherer side content

[radiant kraken]

yep sadly

[daring pine]

and uuh..firmament

[undone tide]

imagine not being in your home world

[daring pine]

like

game is bunnyphobic

[whole estuary]

you can also queue for duties while inside IS and apply glamour plates

[radiant kraken]

u cant even access the delivery npcs there if ur not on ur world

[whole estuary]

unlike Diadem

[rain geode]

I mean if I wanna do high end stuff theres kinda only one option

[undone tide]

these walls leave no fucking yard space

[whole estuary]

you have to commit to Doug Diadem's Diadome

even gathering things like unspoiled nodes is homeworld only

[remote gate]

the best answer here

[whole estuary]

come do DRS

[craggy marsh]

[remote gate]

do you want me to @ you when im pfing because once you get past cascade 2 LL is ez

for some reason I can't beat Mount Rokkon's bosses on my own lmao

skill issue on my part lmaoooo

[rain geode]

PF really is something

[rapid whale]

Isn't it

[boreal pumice]

which bosses are giving you the most trouble or is certain route differences you are struggling with

[undone tide]

what’s worse a melee with 660 gear in origenics or a melee who only uses cds on bosses

[zealous meteor]

latter

[distant knoll]

it's not right but i can get using credendum in origenics if only because it's leveling gear

[undone tide]

well how about both because that’s what i have rn

[rapid whale]

enjoy your 25 minute dungeon

[loud nymph]

the latter for sure

[random needle]

Definitely the latter

[loud nymph]

660 is "only" 10-15 ilvls below where a full set of vanguard gear would be

[random needle]

You don't get your AF gear until after Origenics/ZJ, so it's a little cringe they have no improved gear from Skydeep or Vanguard, but it's understandable

[loud nymph]

yea

[random needle]

The latter is just leaving thousands of potency on the table for no reason

[loud nymph]

skydeep cenote is 666 and vanguard is 672 so if they only did each one once or twice on the alt they'd be at best like 665 or so

[undone tide]

well at least now i no longer have anything to do with summoner

[boreal pumice]

i wore full tomegear its only till vanguard was i getting upgrades at launch (i did keep some coffersbecause i could use that for free items for leves)

[torn mesa]

by god, even cousin otto dutivius is faster!

[undone tide]

solar bahamut is cool i guess

this job has absolutely zero purpose

like what the fuck does it even exist for

the idea of switching demis every 2 min is cool but like wtf does it even matter when everything else is less fun than watching paint dry

who in their right mind would actually play this idiotic job

like what the fuck was square thinking

[rapid whale]

my bad man

i was new to raiding and scared

[undone tide]

did they want to appeal to the multitude of 5 year old xiv players out there and add a job accessible to them

[rapid whale]

MY BAD

[worldly grotto]

Sorry I asked them to make a job for people that don't like the game

[zealous meteor]

i like summoner :(

[torn mesa]

I feel that way about PLD

🙂

[zealous meteor]

it's braindead easy but idk

i like carbuncle

and sometimes i don't wanna heal

[undone tide]

every other caster does more damage and has better utility

even blm has better utility

because its utility is actually doing fucking damage

[loud nymph]

for eating crayons while gaming

[undone tide]

if i wanted to eat crayons i’d play warrior

[zealous meteor]

pictomancer sharing its red crayons with summoner

[undone tide]

at least i get an interesting mechanic every now and then

[loud nymph]

summoner is the psychostick job

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8ccGjar4Es

[torn mesa]

SMN is uh

probably in a better spot among casters than WHM is among healers

[undone tide]

sad to think about

[loud nymph]

I miss shb smn tbh

the dots and jank were stupid

[undone tide]

it was peak

[loud nymph]

but the way it's been utterly neutered

[undone tide]

smn and pld were the remnants of an age past

[rain geode]

I mean it isnt a mmo if people arent constantly shitty on every class in the game

[loud nymph]

I didn't love the demi jank or egi assault ghosting

but at least there was shit to think about

[undone tide]

i don’t know which job i hate more

warrior or summoner

[wicked delta]

i hate warrior more but thats more bc the players are annoying as shit

summoner players are either just happy to be there or dooming over shadowbringers

[dreamy whale]

[undone tide]

warrior players tend to have massive egos

[wicked delta]

both which i think are very funny

[undone tide]

for no particular reason

[dreamy whale]

Why am I catching strays

[jolly flume]

had to make a second job that's perfect for people to bot with

[torn mesa]

but that's MCH

[wicked delta]

casual andies stroke their egos

[torn mesa]

not SMN

[jolly flume]

hey I said second

[zealous meteor]

but all the overworld bots are archers

[rain geode]

tbh I dunno that Ive never met someone in this game that doesnt have an ego

[loud nymph]

only because you can't start with mch

😉

[zealous meteor]

oh

[torn mesa]

MCH can be botted to near optimal play

in high end content

[wicked delta]

i dont have an ego

im aware im bad

[clear plume]

Most jobs can

No more warrior or smn for moomoo

[zealous meteor]

i just fucking suck ass at this game

[torn mesa]

procs and casting tend to make the logic more nuanced

[zealous meteor]

lmao

[zealous meteor]

NANAMO NO

DONT DRINK THAT

[torn mesa]

and being melee technically as well

[zealous meteor]

[torn mesa]

which is why I singled out MCH specifically

[undone tide]

bruh i forgot about this one

[clear plume]

Only blm doesn’t have a rikodou addon but like, dnc is absolutely fine with bots they can read procs

[dreamy whale]

Pre A7S picture

[zealous meteor]

...whats wrong here

[worldly grotto]

The best part about the SMN rework was getting out of it

[wicked delta]

ppl are supposed to take those line stacks

the mch

is botting

[jolly flume]

the guy doing a boss relative mechanic true north because their botting program assumes the boss is always facing north

[wicked delta]

so theyre taking stacks assuming boss is facing north

she is not

[zealous meteor]

oh.

[undone tide]

i think dnc takes more skill than people give it credit for

[dreamy whale]

I had a 75% gcd uptime on smn but also it was my first time in the duty and I was mostly blind and also I died twice

[wicked delta]

[torn mesa]

[dreamy whale]

Most of my deaths not my fault btw

[wicked delta]

funny as shit seeing the skills for dt being shown and everyone in there was like nothing changed

[dreamy whale]

Diabolical engine goop

[jolly flume]

I mean dnc has something to it but I still think I'd be lying if I said it was anywhere beyond like the bottom 5 jobs in difficulty

[undone tide]

i think it can be difficult to execute the 2 min without overcapping, you also have to take into consideration not dropping procs during tech

[clear plume]

This guy got booted from his static in cerp last tier for using minion bots

[rapid whale]

this gif never fails to make me laugh

[dreamy whale]

I got the secondary gauge on dnc and immediately started overcapping

[torn mesa]

I guess my initial statement

is influenced by the fact that MCH is the only job I know of

which had T10 players botting

[loud nymph]

overcapping is just playing dnc tbh

[rapid whale]

im ngl i just overcap (im a bad dnc)

[wicked delta]

dnc itself isnt too hard

[dreamy whale]

I am also a bad dnc

[loud nymph]

mood

[wicked delta]

the overcap is the only hard part of it

imo

[dreamy whale]

Its why i am playing dragoon

[undone tide]

probably because nobody plays it

[loud nymph]

tbh, being bad at dnc still puts you above a lot of dncs you'll see in duty finder

[dreamy whale]

Also yippee steam deck here tomorrow

[wicked delta]

doing some monkas shit just to stop my gauge from exploding

[clear plume]

Exact person I linked had r11 dnc

I'd have to check the message Chocolate Tea sent again to be sure

[daring pine]

[wicked delta]

no

[clear plume]

I just think you’re underestimating botting in general, most of mch being dominated by it is nobody playing it that isn’t a bot more than bots handle queen summon timing better than people do or anything

[wicked delta]

I'm some shy antisocial girl who struggles to gain motivation to play the video game

hop on vro

[undone tide]

i do not at all understand people who parse in this game

[wicked delta]

no bruh.......

[slim wyvern]

I also had M5S in my backlog for so long

[rapid whale]

same reason people speed run etc

[daring pine]

trust me vro

[rapid whale]

something they enjoy

[slim wyvern]

If you're wondering how far I got

[undone tide]

like i do not care if you got a 99 in 1 out of 50 kills of a fight, i care if you got a 95 in 1 of 10 kills

[slim wyvern]

Closest was 1% enrage

The frog taunts me

[jolly flume]

I mean I kinda get it, when clearing the content gets too easy what else do you do in this game

you just do as much damage as you can

[daring pine]

erp in balmung for money

[clear plume]

( I haven’t actually logged into ffxiv for a week almost)

[wicked delta]

talk to catgirls in limsa

[torn mesa]

I don't even care about this

[undone tide]

ok but people just do this regularly; there are people killing fights hundreds of times just for a number

[rapid whale]

im p sure if someone looked at nobles acc they think barsemonkey but they just play the game lol

[slim wyvern]

I hope we can get along

[jolly flume]

I only care as far as "can you consistently do damage that isn't ass" and if the answer is yes (and the bar is like, purple) that's good enough for me

[rapid whale]

mb

[wicked delta]

shut

the fuck up

bapple

[slim wyvern]

As someone who is a major nerd for this entire series

[wicked delta]

discord user bappletrees

[slim wyvern]

As well as someone who is a GNB main

[wicked delta]

accept that ur GOOD

[torn mesa]

I mean...

[rapid whale]

???

[jolly flume]

honestly being bad at this game is bis

[slim wyvern]

And doesn't really care if they play the hardest tank

[torn mesa]

there's worse things in terms of time sink in FFXIV

[jolly flume]

I feel like turbo casuals enjoy this game a lot more than we do

lmfao

[daring pine]

prob

[wicked delta]

Its true i only log in whenever i feel like it

[clear plume]

Tbf the only time I’ve ever “parsed” a ton was when I like, specifically wanted to practice dnc so I set the goal of I’ll beat every one of yumiyas parses speed and parse wise which didn’t take long but I continued with the group for as long as it went

[wicked delta]

turbo casual is freedom

[daring pine]

chiyo i've met so many interesting people in rp venues

[wicked delta]

join me in Valhalla

[daring pine]

by interesting i mean er

[slim wyvern]

I can't log into this game unless I have a group to play with

[clear plume]

Beyond that it’s like, hey my static finished reclear but wants to raid more lets kill boss

[torn mesa]

what do you define as a ton

[daring pine]

"interesting"

[slim wyvern]

That's just where I'm at with this game nowadays

[torn mesa]

the most amount of kills I've done for a tier outside of reclears

[loud nymph]

man that is such an awesome trial

[rapid whale]

i mean

[torn mesa]

is like 40-50

[jolly flume]

I don't think I've genuinely attempted to improve my job gameplay by any significant amount since like 7.0 tbh

[rapid whale]

how do you find a group without logging in tho

[jolly flume]

I'm just like

[torn mesa]

and all of them were with friends just hanging out

[jolly flume]

good enough that it's whatever to me now

[slim wyvern]

Discord

Interacting with people outside of the game

[jolly flume]

far from the best at any job I play but I'll never be a liability

I'm happy with that

[torn mesa]

by like the 10th M5S parse kill we did

I was getting insane brainrot

[rapid whale]

is there any parse tech on that fight for sam

for pct you can swift rainbow and not lose any uptime

[clear plume]

802 kills in a tier is a ton for me, last tier that was casual shit I still did 150 but that’s normal for me

[torn mesa]

is there any parse tech on that fight for any job bapple

[daring pine]

i think the most i genuinely attempted to improve my own job gameplay was when i was initially getting into high end

[torn mesa]

the first floor savage fight is always the worst to parse

[slim wyvern]

Like I'll never get a real savage clear until the next tier in two months

[clear plume]

This tier is the first in a long while I’m not above 100 clears of

[slim wyvern]

So uh

[clear plume]

[slim wyvern]

Idk what to do now

Just level jobs mindlessly?

[jolly flume]

this tier is the first tier I don't have 100 clears of but it's also my second tier so teehee

[wicked delta]

https://tenor.com/view/lion-lion-mentality-stare-anything-that-speaks-small-dog-gif-15965921308779714815

[daring pine]

my first tier 💔

[slim wyvern]

That's part of what threw me off of logging in

[torn mesa]

I mean

[clear plume]

This tier is so bad to pf shitfling on

[torn mesa]

I have 144 kills this tier, which is probably on the low end compared to my other tiers

[zealous meteor]

yeah

[torn mesa]

but that's cause other tiers I recleared a ton more

since you know... there was an ultimate and a reason to maybe gear other jobs

[slim wyvern]

I wish I could've experienced the other raid series

[torn mesa]

EW tiers also had door bosses, which obviously lifts up your kill count

[wicked delta]

i think ill give the new ulti a shot tis tier

[clear plume]

Like there was a month that I joined a new p8s clear party every day on mch and successfully cleared it in 6.28 and this tier I haven’t gotten 20 books of total

[rapid whale]

my alt begs

[slim wyvern]

Especially Omega and Eden

[torn mesa]

if you prog and help others prog

[wicked delta]

im gonna get my dick smashed but i wanna try

xddd

[torn mesa]

it's kind of similar for me wonder

[slim wyvern]

Since again, major nerd for the series

[torn mesa]

Abyssos is my most killed tier at 240

[rapid whale]

do fru

[torn mesa]

but that's cause I did 31 P8S kills and 93 door boss kills on top of those

[zealous meteor]

dynamis right /s

[wicked delta]

your propaganda wont work on me

[clear plume]

Haha yeah… door bosses

[undone tide]

how good do you guys think this median is

[slim wyvern]

Also it really seems like it's not worth raiding without a static and a schedule

Which I've found I very much want

[clear plume]

So get one

[torn mesa]

yeah man

[slim wyvern]

Who would even accept me

[torn mesa]

200 kills of first floor

nice game

[slim wyvern]

Without any credentials

[rapid whale]

you'd prob have to curb expectations a lot with 0 exp

[jolly flume]

I liked wicked thunder I guess

[undone tide]

this is why you pf

[jolly flume]

I turbo slacked this tier though

[rain geode]

just find people who are also new

or just be a chad who does stuff in pf like me

[slim wyvern]

All I have are a few extreme clears

[undone tide]

wicked thunder is a banger fight tbf

[rain geode]

Im certainly enjoying myself

[loud nymph]

there are groups out there looking for people even without experience, some groups care more about mindset

[loud nymph]

you'd need to set realistic expectations

[torn mesa]

my least favorite tier

[loud nymph]

but those groups exist

[rapid whale]

99 median is gross noble plz take a bath

[loud nymph]

pog we are getting great duties in roulettes today

[clear plume]

It could be worse

[slim wyvern]

The issue is that I have limitations with my availability

[torn mesa]

our weekly reclears were sloppy enough that I got my natural hold

[rapid whale]

LMAO

[undone tide]

as someone who has pf’d all content since 6.1 it is the option for you

[slim wyvern]

Because some Saturdays I'd be unavailable due to fighting game locals

[clear plume]

My friend was in the pld mines for p9s kekw

[undone tide]

there is nothing wrong with pfing

[rapid whale]

yeah inconsistent schedule = you're in pf jail sorry

[torn mesa]

lapin gino jr.

[clear plume]

150 kills less but 80 more p9

[undone tide]

this is disgusting

[wicked delta]

[slim wyvern]

Damn I'm not allowed to have a life outside of XIV

[torn mesa]

this is basically reclearing every week

[jolly flume]

a lot of people started off raiding in pf

or in less skilled statics

not really a big deal

[wicked delta]

nobody's saying u cant have a life

[jolly flume]

I have a life sometimes

[wicked delta]

but a lot of ppl in statics also have jobs

so like

lol

[undone tide]

y’all wanna see something funny

[clear plume]

If you want to see disgusting

https://www.fflogs.com/character/na/brynhildr/han gaiden'ko?zone=54

Han gaidenko is underrated

[random needle]

I think part of the point of the weekly lockout is to enforce having a life outside the game

[rain geode]

just find a static with a similarly weird schedule

[torn mesa]

okie dokie has like

[wicked delta]

WHAT THE FUCK

[torn mesa]

a couple of hundred more

than that dude

[jolly flume]

I do decently hc early prog as a full time student with a job on the side and I still manage to go out with friends sometimes though so

[rapid whale]

IT POPPED

[jolly flume]

it can't be that dire

[wicked delta]

that has to be some form of illness

[clear plume]

817 p9s

[torn mesa]

doesn't okie dokie

have like 1.2k

[wicked delta]

[random needle]

If gear was completely unlocked from week 1, nolifes would grind out BiS in a week or two, then they'd lock any future PFs to max ilvl, and anyone new trying to get through would be SOL

[undone tide]

this is my crowning achievement

[clear plume]

Han has 194

[slim wyvern]

I guess I'll figure something out next tier

[clear plume]

P12p2

[rain geode]

I mean realistically you only go hard for your first clear then reclears should be a lot easier and take less time

[rapid whale]

@jolly flume who was that jp player with like 3k m1s kills again

[torn mesa]

lapin gino

[jolly flume]

lapin gino?

[slim wyvern]

There's no reason for me to do anything until 7.4

[rain geode]

thats just wrong

[rapid whale]

sibling in the light what do you want us to do about that 😭

[jolly flume]

I mean just don't play then lol

[undone tide]

this guy just randomly popped into pld lounge today

[jolly flume]

I've taken some decent breaks from the game

[wicked delta]

Oh fuck u werent joking

[undone tide]

no clue why

[zealous meteor]

only 99.8? what the hell

[clear plume]

Glad he’s back to the game

[rain geode]

Im out here in pf getting more comfortable on my job

[jolly flume]

this is the only guy I've ever looked up on fflogs where I actually had to wait for their logs to fully load

[clear plume]

Bro got burnt out so fucking bad

[wicked delta]

why'd they never do wicked thunder

[clear plume]

He did 12 hours a day of p12p2

[boreal pumice]

because catz told them not to

[wicked delta]

it also took longer to load than usual for me sob

[clear plume]

And then did drk for 3 pulls

[jolly flume]

he parses without the 4th floor weapon

[undone tide]

99.8 is rank 2 because of the sample size; guess the fight

[jolly flume]

that's his whole thing

[clear plume]

And golded on drk

[wicked delta]

huh

[clear plume]

Without a pld 99 yet

Bro was

CRASHING OUT

[torn mesa]

wonder

[boreal pumice]

bro needed to lock in

[torn mesa]

was it you who told me a certain DNC RMT'd gil

to pay for a FRU sandbag

[undone tide]

why would you ever care about a parse that much

[clear plume]

Yeah

[rain geode]

or heck you could get a clear on this tier sure it counts for less on week 5 billion but it at least counts for something

[boreal pumice]

who told you that?

[torn mesa]

(only to lose R1 still)

🙂

[jolly flume]

r1

r1

r1

does kindred need a tank

[slim wyvern]

Yeah

I guess you're right

[clear plume]

The funniest part is that the guy lost it to the same sandbags doing it with another dnc too

[slim wyvern]

I still have time

[boreal pumice]

chiyo got rank 2 mch

[torn mesa]

see

[clear plume]

Just to make it public on last day to spite him

[torn mesa]

that's the definition of a parse monkey

like normally, I say parse players get a bad rep for no reason

[jolly flume]

I'm so good at the game (don't look at my crit variance)

[torn mesa]

but players like that DNC deserve it and then some

[boreal pumice]

just bad rng man you be r1 with it

[jolly flume]

parsers by and large get an undeserved reputation among most people in this game

but once in a while

[rain geode]

I just try to get above 50 if im playing healer or 75 if im playing dps

[torn mesa]

you get a soft neko?

[jolly flume]

you get a specimen that lives up to the stereotype

[versed kayak]

Maybe 2%, the remaining 98% is keeping people subbed

[boreal pumice]

would you guys take gil so someone could be a parse monkey an how much?

[torn mesa]

no

[jolly flume]

no

not even though I'm like

poor

[clear plume]

The guy got super pissy when Shem (a respected bard) told a discord he was in that I’m his goat dnc over him

the psyn is too hard ss was kinda funny though

I mean knowing brd in top vs being good at brd in general fights is different I’d say but yeah

[worn bluff]

paying real money for a number on a page that no one will look at

[clear plume]

If brd was my only prange I play and I’d never done the fight as it I’m sure not confident flexing to it either

[quick verge]

the blessed one

[torn mesa]

this is PS

so the job you play doesn't matter at all

because it's downtime

[clear plume]

You see, he actually sandbagged all ultimates so he could brag about being rank 1 in all ultimates at once at end of patch

Which is why people went behind his back just to spite him

Bc thinking a sandbagged uwu parse makes you good in 2025 is kind of why I said he’s a lolcow to most parsing circles

[torn mesa]

the fact that the job is DNC

is the cherry on the rotten cake

[quick verge]

play a real job

like uhh

uhh....

[clear plume]

It’s ok, the guy also plays rpr

[quick verge]

yeah now that's a real job

[torn mesa]

does anyone play RPR

besides Azra

[jolly flume]

like brewmaster monk in hit game world of warcraft

[clear plume]

Dylan used to and does a few kills normally

[boreal pumice]

i play the superior rpr the og botanist

[quick verge]

ive never played wow i dont know if this is funny

[random needle]

I like Reaper but I don't know if I'd take it into high end

[zealous meteor]

REAL jobs: WHM, SMN, WAR
MENTAL ILLNESS: everything else. especially DRK, BLM, and AST

[jolly flume]

no its just an actually cool job

[loud nymph]

brewmaster is very cool

[torn mesa]

Wonder, I told your story

[worn bluff]

i used to play RPR

[clear plume]

Good PvP tier list

[torn mesa]

to someone I know who PF'd with the DNC

[loud nymph]

you throw exploding kegs of alcohol at enemies

[worn bluff]

RPR parsing is funny because all the opti barely does anything, so it's mostly crit

[torn mesa]

and they told me this story with that person

[boreal pumice]

brewmaster was a intresting idea staggering dmg throwing beer lighting them on fire

[worn bluff]

a lot of the high rank RPR parses have shitty rotations

[torn mesa]

they joined and said: "guys I've a R1 on this fight, trust me I know what I'm doing"

and you can guess what happened after

[random needle]

If I was gonna play any melee in high end, I'd probably either DRG or SAM, probably the former

Though if I had more experience with Monk, that'd be tempting too, though the optimization on that makes my head spin a little

[quick verge]

just play drg nin gang

no need to work your brain

just play the easy baby jobs

[clear plume]

My peak in terms of parsing was when I had r2 gnb for a while with 0 gcds during knockback laser heads in p10s

[worn bluff]

i want to learn SAM more but i'm also lazy

[jolly flume]

pray to whatever god you believe in that you never have to watch me play any non mnk melee

[boreal pumice]

play rogue in fork tower EZ R1 no one players that class

[worldly grotto]

What's to optimize? Just follow the simple 90 page google doc and you can start grey parsing with the rest of us

[undone tide]

is sam good rn

[clear plume]

Yeah

[torn mesa]

it's alright

[worn bluff]

90 page google doc "this is standard rotation"

[torn mesa]

I think in general you'd still rather have MNK/NIN

[boreal pumice]

its the best solor in PT so sam has that

[jolly flume]

monk now is like

[torn mesa]

but DRG/SAM are both close enough to be competitive

[jolly flume]

press the flashy buttons

parse purple+

[distant knoll]

fuck it im just gonna hit lunar for every nadi

[jolly flume]

absolutely no thought to it anymore

[torn mesa]

I will spend my ball drainers when I have balls

[undone tide]

how difficult is sam rn

[torn mesa]

I will build my balls if I don't

[torn mesa]

compared to what

[jolly flume]

like sure it was off patch because I was helping friends unlock fru but if I can 1 pull a 98 on monk it cant be that hard

[undone tide]

like every other job i guess

[worn bluff]

get fed gear -> press whatever you want -> 99

[jolly flume]

literally just follow the combo lol

[torn mesa]

uh...

I'm not actually too sure if it's every other job

[quick verge]

sam is lowkey a freestyle job rn

[torn mesa]

always has been
