ooh interesting, didnt know it repeats

versed kayak
#

same, and tank LB is just a check for tank LB I guess?

jagged aspen
#

maybe maybe not but that would be a lot of mits

#

unless youre doing tankwu or something

#

or you mean its scripted to kill you?

versed kayak
#

the latter yeah

jagged aspen
#

tank lb you can rez cheese/just mit

#

the message after the linked one

versed kayak
#

interesting

alpine plover
#

Yea both ultimas too

#

But if you dont awaken all 3 primals the ultima becomes a game over ultima instead

#

Pretty cool

jagged aspen
#

huh?

versed kayak
#

you mean they added another failsafe besides the LBs?

alpine plover
#

Can see why tho. All ultimate weapon phases include the awakened primals

jagged aspen
#

yea seems so. would be funny if you could do ultima without ifrit doing his X or something

#

so you could uh, tehcnically skip bits and give ether to tank so you get a free melee lb at start or something

#

but you cant skip awakening

#

people arent doing raid roulettes anymore? 🙁

#

or maybe gotta wait for daily reset

I remember the last time I did PF

#

There was someone in there who joined just for the sake of helping a newbie raider like me

versed kayak
#

the sheathe also has a bunch of holes that you could cut yourself with

random needle
#

There's like 7 other people from here and elsewhere who are helping me prog DSR (originally it was two people but the other guy cleared on his own time too, ggs bapple)

slim wyvern
#

Maybe I could ask for help here

jagged aspen
#

why are ppl saying top forces specific dps roles, you cant do last mech with 2 caster lbs?

alpine plover
#

tbh i can see even 4 casters clearing top

#

if they all know what they are doing

#

top was cleared without healers after all

jolly flume
#

caster lb does 10% more damage than phys range and you have more than enough time for the extra cast duration to not matter

#

it's very obviously designed for the standard 2 melee 1 caster 1 ranged though

jagged aspen
#

kinda odd why does caster lb have more damage and better range

versed kayak
#

phys ranged tax

random needle
#

Line more convenient sometimes? Shruge

#

Still, a circle is usually easier to hit a group with than the line is, so... erm

dapper zealot
#

The lb sfx spam when I have to cancel and realign a few times :)

boreal pumice
#

circle is easier because of how mobs work in 14 they spread around not go into eachother so a line is likely to miss

versed kayak
#

a line is harder to aim and hits less with more mobs

dapper zealot
#

Pre pulling with ranged lb is peak tho

craggy marsh
quick verge
#

ranged lb (mostly 1 and 2) are designed to hit targets that are very far from each other

#

3 is slightly longer than caster lb so it has an edge case but its mostly for the shorter animation time

versed kayak
#

I feel like if the shorter animation matters you have bigger issues no?

dapper zealot

#

I've been told I can hit three meteors in DotH with my LB2, I just have to actually get there and try it again

quick verge
#

yes

jolly flume
#

you can't caster lb e4s jails

#

🔥

jagged aspen
#

you dont get lb3 on doth?

jolly flume
#

uh no

jagged aspen
#

oh makes sense ig

jolly flume
#

it's only like 2.5-3 mins after you spend it at transition

#

so

random needle
#

I was told centering my cast on the A marker helps, as long as it's right in the middle between the NW and NE meteors that should be okay

Even then, as long as people don't die, it should still be doable even if I only get 2 meteors

jolly flume
#

sometimes you don't even have lb2 if people die or you overmit

quick verge
craggy marsh
#

Purposefully forgetting to tank lb3 during intermission bc Horsefart dying is funny

quick verge
#

the gaols also have very small hp pools

#

so even if caster lb could hit it would be overkill

random needle
craggy marsh
#

Yeah but let's see it again

jolly flume
#

wanna see me do it again?

craggy marsh
#

Never forgetting that time I had a friend who had a meltdown during DSR bc Horseradish died again

#

Said it was akin to "reliving the death of a lover"

jagged aspen
#

and what happens if u kill p5, you also go back to p2 or something?

#

or just wipe

# craggy marsh You wipe in p6

Because Haurchefant and Ysayle are alive, their spirits can't help you kill the eyes, and because Thordan is dead, he can't absorb them iirc

The friend group has cut all contact with them bc they're a constant downer and ignore all help even when we all tried our best

craggy marsh
#

Still find it funny that people went crazy about E33 having real-time parry in turn based combat. Despite Like a Dragon (a game from 2020) having them too

jagged aspen
#

guess it wasnt mainstream enough

they will not survive playing any of the Mario RPGs

craggy marsh

Yeah people just hate Japanese style games

#

E33 is great but its not revolutionary

quick verge

e33 is overhyped trash

i just buy the mats

jagged aspen

with gc only

jolly flume

bc same

#

LOL

random needle
#

White Mage definitely has

undone tide
#

which is why i’m kinda poor rn

#

how do you level after 80

jagged aspen
#

ce is good apparently

jolly flume
#

go CE or leve it

zealous meteor
#

white mage has nothing

jagged aspen
#

i did collectibles, doesnt really matter that much i think

undone tide
#

also i have not done like any class quests and i know manipulation is necessary

#

so

jagged aspen
#

you have to upgrade gear yourself if you do CE right?

undone tide
#

time to go do those 🙂

jolly flume
#

manip is like 65 job quest or smth iirc so it takes a while

jagged aspen
#

uh manipulation is only mandatory for a few levels

jolly flume
#

do urself a favor and just go to consolegameswiki for each job, they have a list of all quest items necessary

zealous meteor
#

yeag

#

i hated doing crafter quests

jolly flume
#

so u can just prebuy em and go all at once

zealous meteor
#

and it's all because of manipulation

jagged aspen
#

once your macros start using preparatory touch/groundwork its not that big anymore

#

like, endgame macros never use it iirc

undone tide
jagged aspen
#

well, its mostly because waste not >> manipulation when your actions cost 20

zealous meteor
#

consolegameswiki is great

undone tide
#

oh my god how many fucking scrips do i need for this gear

zealous meteor
#

weird that it's only for the console versions of the game though /s

jagged aspen
#

yea the quests suck though. it took me like a day to gather and craft everything, and then another whole day to do the actual quests

#

if i do crafting on alt im definitely skipping quests

random needle
#

The process of getting all the quests done was annoying, but getting all the gathering and crafting for them done in one whack made things a lot more pleasant

jagged aspen
#

yea for sure, the whole prep part is fun to me

#

but all the flying back and forth meh

undone tide
#

how do u get purple scrips

jagged aspen
#

collectibles or custom deliveries

#

theyre at lvl 70 crafts so i assume they got there

#

but if you do it with ishgard only you dont really get scrips

undone tide
#

i had like 1.9k but not enough for every tool

dapper zealot
#

Time for custom deliveries

jagged aspen
#

yea but its weekly gated

#

oh i should remember to get my gathering gear for 7.4 😐

dapper zealot
#

Farm this for scrips, 3 mats with only 1 precraft

jagged aspen
#

idk how people level through CE only, prolly skip scrip gear?

dapper zealot
#

You use scrip gear

#

Or craft it

undone tide
#

so should i always just combo reflect > great strides > waste not > innovation > preparatory

jagged aspen
#

idk, you want to do everything by hand?

undone tide
#

everything except things i’m going to purposely farm

#

like ishgard? yea i’ll macro

#

everything else i usually like to do by hand

jagged aspen
#

reflect and muscle are about equal in value

boreal pumice
#

just use teamcraft or rapheal put in your stats and generate a macro

jagged aspen
#

well, if they want to do by hand its fair

#

not that i would do that but you do you 😄

undone tide
#

i’m also a console player so macros are asinine

jagged aspen
#

why? theyre hard to paste in or something?

boreal pumice
#

macros are fine even on console for crafting

undone tide
#

what

jagged aspen
#

as long as you dont get fps drops or something that would regularly mess them up

undone tide
#

you have to type the entire thing out with a controller

#

its ass

jagged aspen
#

idk much about consoles but theres got to be a way to paste them

undone tide
#

ps5 doesn’t have a web browser

versed kayak
#

can have someone on PC whisper them the entire thing

jagged aspen
#

😄

boreal pumice
#

should be able just plug in a mouse in the usb or a keyboard

sinful brook
#

Using controller and on screen keyboard is some insane behaviour ngl

undone tide
#

i am very insane

#

i thought we knew this

jagged aspen
#

uuh directional disregard wasnt a thing before DT was it?

#

or i guess xivanalysis is just tripping, it says i hit all positionals but this surely doesnt look like a rear attack?

versed kayak
lyric summit
#

fflogs replay isn't super reliable

valid solar
jolly flume
#

yeah positional/rotational data from fflogs isn't that great

jagged aspen
#

but in that particular segment nobody was moving much so it should be relatively accurate?

#

or uh, how do you even tell if a positional hit in the log? i dont see it anywhere

jade nimbus
#

Mhm, good question, I just use ffxiv analysis

jagged aspen
#

thats why im wondering, if its trying to extrapolate positionals from rotation data or something

jade nimbus
#

But I assume it checks if it does more damage probably

alpine plover

bnuuy

alpine plover
#

are you in the chaotics this run btw

#

this week*

#

@wicked delta

wicked delta
#

That shit fills up fast

jolly flume
#

I'm not overly familiar with the exact data the API returns but from what I can tell, it contains a base potency and a damage multiplier in which positional bonuses are not included? so xiva creates a set of possible potencies from combo buffs, personal buffs, etc, and if the reported potency of the action to be analyzed does not appear within that set, it must be because a positional was landed

versed kayak
#

hmm, my xiva isn't complaining about positionals at all and I know I missed some

#

maybe it broke recently?

jolly flume
#

actually not a set of possible potencies, it's just a set of possible values for that damage multiplier

jagged aspen
#

yea im looking through some logs and it seems to report 100% which i find super sus

jolly flume
#

does it work for level 100 content?

#

I have like zero recent melee logs so idk

#

since it's calculated from damage values maybe it doesn't play nice with legacy stuff

versed kayak
#

same, but I could've sworn I've seen it complain about it in tea the other day

jagged aspen
#

i dont do melee at 100 so idk

versed kayak
#

might have to check a dummy

jagged aspen
#

or well, i didnt do 100 at all recently

#

or maybe i can find some fru

jolly flume
#

@torn mesa does this look right to you for fru lol

jagged aspen
#

hmm nov 2 definitely reported positionals

jolly flume
#

it still flags the other melee's positional misses though

torn mesa
#

in what sense

#

that looks right for me

jolly flume
#

lemme toss my old dsr logs at it then I guess

#

yeah idk it still flags me for lvl 90 correctly

#

idkge

jagged aspen
#

ok yea it seems like a job issue

#

monk reports fine, but drg reports 100%

versed kayak
#

guess sam is broken too then

#

its reporting 100% for any log I throw at it, and theres no way in hell thats correct

jagged aspen
#

even a random gray clear parse reports 100% on drg

#

is howling blade p2 omni?

versed kayak
#

I wish

#

let me die god damn it

#

duty support healers op apparently

jolly flume
#

would be kind of insane for him not to be

#

kek

versed kayak
#

hm, works at lvl 100

#

for sam anyway

jagged aspen
#

ok but Nov 22 random drg parse shows correct positionals. so maybe lvl 90 issue only

versed kayak
#

probably anything sub 100

jagged aspen
#

which could be consistent with using potencies to guess

jolly flume
#

does drg have a trait above 90 that changes something

#

oh

#

it must be

#

drakesbane

jagged aspen
#

since u get potency upgrades at 94

jolly flume
#

because wheeling used to be a 5th hit

jagged aspen
jolly flume
#

on an alternate combo

jagged aspen
#

the combo is the same

#

from level 70 to 100

#

just some skills get different names

#

like vorpal thrust -> lance barrage at 96

jolly flume
#

drakesbane is your fifth hit now though

versed kayak
#

monk gets the buffs too though, odd that it works for it

jagged aspen
#

yes its that way on 70 too

jolly flume
#

at 90 it alternates wheeling and fnc

#

doesn't it

random needle
#

I think so yeah

jolly flume
#

try putting it into the endwalker branch of the analyzer

#

and see if it reports positionals correctly

#

I think that's the issue

#

because the module does account for trait potency upgrades

#

or at least it says it does lol

jagged aspen
#

yea its always true thrust/raiden - disembowel/spiral - chaos/chaotic - wheeling - drakesbane

versed kayak
#

pretty sure it used to

jagged aspen
#

what was the EW link again

jolly flume
jagged aspen
#

oh that was easy enough

jolly flume
#

gg

versed kayak
#

monk at 80 works fine, sam is broken at 90 too, so I guess similar issue for drg

jagged aspen
#

oh it doesnt like ?fights=

zealous meteor
#

yea i break at lv90 sorry

jagged aspen
#

wheres TOP

#

nvm thats kills only

#

ok yea this looks better now

jolly flume
#

that'll do it

versed kayak
#

interesting, still broken on sam for the EW version

#

you can feed blu logs into xiva? damn

jagged aspen

tbf it looks sus too, looking at the replay

worn bluff
#

Parser - BLU

jolly flume
#

is that spell actually a front positional

#

blue mage moment I guess

jagged aspen
#

yes

#

it gives a giant bonus when hitting front too

#

like 300% or smth

versed kayak
jagged aspen
#

i used it for all my solos

jolly flume
#

kek

#

one day I'll level my blu

versed kayak
jagged aspen
#

ok 300% weas an exaggeration ig

worn bluff
#

i spent a bunch of time collecting BLU spells but realized that the only reason i was getting spells was so i could collect more spells

jolly flume
#

isn't that just this game in general

#

you improve your ilvl so you can get more ilvl

jagged aspen
#

u do it for completion

versed kayak
#

I mean thats a fine reason to collect them

jolly flume
worn bluff
#

i mean i don't have any interest in actually doing content on BLU

jagged aspen
#

and then you do some content for no reason at all

#

what a waste of time, ggs

worn bluff
#

once i got almost all the spells i never touched BLU again

versed kayak
#

I should finish this some time

jagged aspen
#

can do some weeklies for aetheryte tickets ig

worn bluff
#

it did get me a ton of aetheryte tickets when i was broke

jagged aspen
#

i did these all solo, idk abt the last two

worn bluff
#

enough for me to level gathering until i was self sufficient

jagged aspen
#

think theyre in eden or smth

boreal pumice
#

get the eden ones the % move is goated from e1

jagged aspen
#

can i solo though

boreal pumice
#

not likely

#

its on content (for blu) so the dmg will hurt still and even if you can solo itl take so long

jagged aspen
#

if u can stack echo ig it could help

or is that only for extremes

Borderline cheating imo

xivcombo is like

undone tide

cactbot is infinitely worse

dreamy whale

Are there worse offenders

versed kayak

Thats just lazyness mainly

boreal pumice

ofc there are

versed kayak

xivcombo doesnt automate your rotation does it

undone tide
#

anybody who uses cactbot deserves to be banned

jolly flume
#

I xivcombo my aoe buttons because I dont need that shit taking up space

boreal pumice
#

if anything xivcombo just makes most jobs into vpr/pct / likes to save spots on hot bar

dreamy whale
#

Is cactbot the one that lets you quintuple weave

jolly flume
#

it still completely removes the possibility of breaking your combo

#

and believe me

#

a lot of people still break their combos

#

lol

boreal pumice
#

still you have to be really bad to break a 123 124

versed kayak
jolly flume
#

you can argue it's "qol" but it's still functionally an advantage

dreamy whale
#

Oh ok

versed kayak
undone tide
#

cactbot reads debuffs and tells you what to do for mechanics

#

it basically just does the thinking for you

jolly flume
versed kayak
#

if you use cactbot why even raid at that point

dreamy whale
#

Oh thats the one where its like “spread. Spread. Spread”

My cactbot is my raid leader

undone tide

yeah I've seen the chinese fru clip

chinese fru clip??

boreal pumice

or bigwigs

dreamy whale
#

Weakauras lmao

#

Yk whats crazy is bigwigs is considered a mandatory plugin

#

Its in all the beginner plugin guides

undone tide
#

when i think of cheating i think of the bard in dsr

random needle
#

I forget, isn't WoW trying to retire plugins being needed for raids?

boreal pumice
#

and this is why you dont upload like a dumbass

jolly flume
#

was it born out of people trying to make the game easier? yeah

dreamy whale
#

They apparently just added limit cut with this upcoming raid and wow players are tweaking

jolly flume
#

but at this point it's basically just "you can't play the game without this" more than it is cheating

undone tide
#

that’s idiotic

zealous meteor
undone tide

oh we’ll just make a mod to tell you exactly where things are

proper cave

i hate wow

jolly flume

that's just suzaku if you squint at it

boreal pumice
#

thing is from wows last raid you can defo see a ff14 infulence on mechs

zealous meteor
#

anyway yeah xivcombo is like. it TECHNICALLY gives you an advantage but it doesn't automate the entire game for you

random needle
dreamy whale
#

I tried wow for a little bit because my friend wanted me to play with him but I was like

#

Idk I got to level 25 ice mage

Shit was boring

undone tide
#

wow knows its shit

jolly flume
#

wow mechanics are kinda lame in comparison but I'd commit murder to have some of their job designers work on 14

undone tide
#

like imagine your game being so bad that you have to release a classic version to stay relevant

dreamy whale
#

One thing I will say tho is the race based tutorials are cool

random needle
#

WoW feels like the kind of game that's fun with friends and utter agony alone

zealous meteor
#

if you really want to cheat there's always plugins to automate doing entire fucking duties pained
(don't do this i swear to fuck)

dreamy whale

Like I played as some werewolf guy and the tutorial was cool as hell

jolly flume
boreal pumice

I think it should be 40% difficulty in jobs, 60% difficulty in duties

jolly flume

I simply hope that my favorite two jobs don't get taken out back and shot

#

I think that's a pretty low bar

dreamy whale
#

I just started in 7.3 so I can’t really say much for job design but I hope they find a way to diversify tanks without bringing it back to “x job can only off tank”

#

Like in some ways tanks should be homogenized so any tank can fill any role within a raid but they should also have their own identity

yeah as long as they dont somehow dumb down gnb and sam I'll be happy

Midnight’s new raid finale tests memory and coordination like never before. With combat addons like WeakAuras and DBM restricted, players must rely on teamwork to survive L’ura’s symbol mechanic — no automation, just skill. Imagine doing this in a pug. 💥 What do you think, is this a good change for raids?

Honestly, the steam deck has made installing and playing almost anything a really smooth process, the only thing that's been a little rougher is getting XIV working

It's seamless until you have to get technical with it, but in fairness both Windows and Linux kinda fall apart there in different directions

But yeah, largest issue for Linux gaming is that a lot of mods don’t work on it or you need to know how to fix them yourself bc mod authors and curators are not going to touch different distros whatsoever and anything not literally on steam just has a good chance of not being made for it, and anything with anticheat also just 50/50 on if it won’t work even if it is on steam

i think after 5 expansions they can afford to start giving trash packs actual mechanics in casual content maybe

vapid path
#

If we use what happened with Dawntrail idk

random needle
# versed kayak it could, people just gotta git gud

I think if there's a dungeon that's just "get from point A to B" or "clear out this dangerous area", that could pretty easily be made into a Variant type dungeon, people just end up going on different paths each run and it's a more vibrant experience each time

#

Like, say, Vanguard. Surely there would have been more than just the one route to cut through to get to the other side of the facility

versed kayak
#

I just want criterions, none of that variant stuff, that's boring as hell anyway :D

just gimme trash that actually does something

What Ive enjoyed by Astro so far is that its very much personal decision making

I feel like with WHM the way to go about rotation and healing is pretty simple, but Astro its like you can decide how to go about an encounter

dreamy whale
#

Astro is fun yea

#

Is also the most op healer

brisk scarab
#

Speaking of Astro, am I supposed to save up the 10s flare aoe thing for heals, or just use as constant damage

boreal pumice
#

i ast same as sch that knowing the fight b4 hand or can guess whats incoming can make think ahead when to use a cd not being reactive but proactive

dreamy whale
#

The what now

#

Is it an aetherflow thing

rapid whale
dreamy whale
#

Oh ok its something i dont have

versed kayak
#

earthly star

#

aetherflow is scholar, not ast

dreamy whale

Oh right ty siti

random needle
#

Earthly Star? Yeah you generally try to use it off cooldown, but can adjust a little bit to heal after raidwides, though ideally not dropping uses like bapple said

brisk scarab
#

Yeah, Astro feels a lot like BLM where you need to know the fight beforehand to get absolute value

dreamy whale
#

I heard we’re getting a free fantasia with 7.4 is that true

versed kayak
#

SE never announced them ahead of time

boreal pumice
#

same can be said for assize use off cd but can hold it if you know raid wide inc in a few secs

random needle
#

You can also place your star pre-pull, perfect for healing the first raidwide that almost always seems to happen after two autos

versed kayak
#

so no way to know

brisk scarab
#

Once I get all my healers to 100, itll be phys range

And Im ngl Dancer will prob be my favorite

Just from what Ive seen of dance partner and some of its moveset

boreal pumice

dnc feels nice

rapid whale
#

dnc is very chill

jolly flume

but you just place it on cd for damage

brisk scarab
#

I love the dancing animation and how it looks like their hyping themselves up before a fight LOL

#

Bouncing up and down

jolly flume
#

I default to placing it -4 prepull, then you see what it can heal throughout a fight and plan your other tools around it

dreamy whale
#

Dnc is very nice but just be aware once you unlock your gauge its pretty easy (to me) to overcap it on accident (im probably also bad)

brisk scarab
#

I also kinda use both card 2 and 3 on my tank most of the time, is that typical

jolly flume
#

yes, but in raids there's often situations where you might want to use them on other people

brisk scarab
#

Then give my buff to the designated dps and pair with my dmg buff aoe

dreamy whale
#

The bole, the spire, and the arrow usually go on tank iirc

#

And then the others go on you or the respective dps

wicked delta
#

sometimes u gotta give mit to ur phys range or caster or they just fall over n die

dreamy whale
#

But as chiyo says

jolly flume
#

anything that hurts a lot I'll often give bole and spire to a squishy, arrow can be given to a scholar to buff their spreadlo, ewer you can use to top anyone who missed a heal, died, or just as tank maintenance

dreamy whale
#

Different situations call for different uses

Im just giving you the general use if nothing special is happening
