same, and tank LB is just a check for tank LB I guess?
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?
the latter yeah
interesting
Yea both ultimas too
But if you dont awaken all 3 primals the ultima becomes a game over ultima instead
Pretty cool
huh?
you mean they added another failsafe besides the LBs?
Can see why tho. All ultimate weapon phases include the awakened primals
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
not at noon on a workday 
i'm gonna miss snake boy in 7.4
his voice lines are so good
"Oh... It's going to be a long night..."
ok but she doesn't go "YOU'VE NOWHERE TO RUN!" and "FLESH OF MY FLESH, SHOW THEM THEIR FOLLY"
"In darkness blooms the spider-lily..."
"From mortal husk, I rise anew!"
may the lord protect the man who keeps putting knucklebows on sam weapons (from me), they look so strange 
But also consider: you get to kick Asahi's shit in for Tsukuyomi
consider: seiryu is hot
do you think the ananta would find seiryu attractive or would they be horrified that he's human from the waist up
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
yeah it's more of a saber but ah well, it's pretty anyway
the sheathe also has a bunch of holes that you could cut yourself with
Yeah a lot of people do that
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)
Maybe I could ask for help here
why are ppl saying top forces specific dps roles, you cant do last mech with 2 caster lbs?
tbh i can see even 4 casters clearing top
if they all know what they are doing
top was cleared without healers after all
should be able to easily provided you lb on time
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
kinda odd why does caster lb have more damage and better range
phys ranged tax
Line more convenient sometimes? 
Still, a circle is usually easier to hit a group with than the line is, so... erm
The lb sfx spam when I have to cancel and realign a few times :)
circle is easier because of how mobs work in 14 they spread around not go into eachother so a line is likely to miss
a line is harder to aim and hits less with more mobs
Pre pulling with ranged lb is peak tho
Playing SAM and canceling midare so you spam the nails on a chalkboard sfx

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
I feel like if the shorter animation matters you have bigger issues no?
no
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
yes
you dont get lb3 on doth?
uh no
oh makes sense ig
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
sometimes you don't even have lb2 if people die or you overmit
also yea
Purposefully forgetting to tank lb3 during intermission bc Horsefart dying is funny
the gaols also have very small hp pools
so even if caster lb could hit it would be overkill
You already saw it at the end of p1, you hack
Yeah but let's see it again
wanna see me do it again?
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"

Wanna watch me fail to pass my chain during dives? Wanna see me do it again
that one friend thats never gone outside in their life
You get locked out of p7 I think
You wipe in p6
They refuse to get a job but complain about being broke and lonely all the time
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
Some people are beyond help
Or weed
horse boy's death was sad but that's a bit much
I picked up weed and mellowed out a bunch
It was sad during msq
Its not sad during dsr
people dragged it during dsr
like you are pushing 35 crying over a low poly elf
chill out
During DSR, you're baiting cleaves and praying someone didn't troll with the puddles, you don't have time to focus on the twink getting obliterated
you do p6 but thordan isn't there to absorb the eyes of nidhogg and hraesvelgr so you go back to p4 but this time you don't have the soul of devotion/friendship buffs from alphinaud and ysayle so you explode into red mist
The low poly elf who is borderline sexual harassment
In JP anyway
Damn what did Horsefart do to u
sounds fun
I love how creative the failure states in DSR are honestly
Didn't pop hallowed
i woke up hungry
Hes a gladiator he doesn’t have it
he popped living dead but there was no boss to leech life from
Tf is he doing in heavensward
Without his job stone
btw
Is he stupid????
Rich white boy privilege
So he is stupid
He used Cover but forgot HG doesn't affect damage Cover absorbs
Dumbass elf
May the bozo stay dead
deflect it you moron
Me personally I wouldve just stepped out of the wat
Way
Instead of blocking it at all
me personally im hitting the dark souls (parryslop) parry
i have no idea anymore bro
Biscuit facing unemployment when we take the word slop away from him
you are loghrif, servant of zodiark
E33 is just Xenoblade 3 if it had Mario and Luigi combat
you shall restore the power of darkness to this star
thats a thing?
future
E33 fans when they discover turn based games exist (they've lived a very sheltered life and have played zero games)
was
oh ok
cover was the brokenest ability in the game and yoshida personally spited me by nerfing it
I never touched E33
because he hates fun and is a hack
Does it have Jennifer English in it
yes
Game of the year
that's why I played it
also new game
tides of annihilation
mc voiced by jennifer english
go get it when it comes out

we can't escape her and I'm fine with that
another shadowheart?
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
guess it wasnt mainstream enough
like a dragoon (1999)
they will not survive playing any of the Mario RPGs
e33 is overhyped trash
Or like I've been saying, Mario and Luigi
All turn based, but every attack has some kind of dodge or parry timing
despite paper mario (2000) having them
Ya
Gamers latching onto the newest thing and calling it revolutionary and the best thing to exist since the death of christ or something
After Final Fantasy 1, there were literally no RPGs until Persona 5 came out in 2017
Then there were no other RPGs until E33 in 2025
Did he crash out again
also no turn based games
blank
progress
ishgard
ill get you soon
i’m not using diadem lmao
firmament restoration is pain
you just buy the mats?
i just buy the mats
with gc only
White Mage definitely has
ce is good apparently
go CE or leve it
white mage has nothing
i did collectibles, doesnt really matter that much i think
you have to upgrade gear yourself if you do CE right?
time to go do those 🙂
manip is like 65 job quest or smth iirc so it takes a while
uh manipulation is only mandatory for a few levels
do urself a favor and just go to consolegameswiki for each job, they have a list of all quest items necessary
so u can just prebuy em and go all at once
thank god for dr agon
and it's all because of manipulation
once your macros start using preparatory touch/groundwork its not that big anymore
like, endgame macros never use it iirc
i’ll probably just make them myself because they cost a lot of gil usually cuz high demand
well, its mostly because waste not >> manipulation when your actions cost 20
consolegameswiki ascension
consolegameswiki is great
oh my god how many fucking scrips do i need for this gear
weird that it's only for the console versions of the game though /s
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
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
yea for sure, the whole prep part is fun to me
but all the flying back and forth meh
how do u get purple scrips
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
i had like 1.9k but not enough for every tool
Time for custom deliveries
at that point you might as well spread them out across jobs and use them for leveling
idk how people level through CE only, prolly skip scrip gear?
so should i always just combo reflect > great strides > waste not > innovation > preparatory
idk, you want to do everything by hand?
everything except things i’m going to purposely farm
like ishgard? yea i’ll macro
everything else i usually like to do by hand
reflect and muscle are about equal in value
just use teamcraft or rapheal put in your stats and generate a macro
well, if they want to do by hand its fair
not that i would do that but you do you 😄
i’m also a console player so macros are asinine
why? theyre hard to paste in or something?
macros are fine even on console for crafting
what
as long as you dont get fps drops or something that would regularly mess them up
idk much about consoles but theres got to be a way to paste them
ps5 doesn’t have a web browser
can have someone on PC whisper them the entire thing
😄
should be able just plug in a mouse in the usb or a keyboard
Using controller and on screen keyboard is some insane behaviour ngl
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?
nop it's new
fflogs replay isn't super reliable
the holiday seasons top 100 gifts
yeah positional/rotational data from fflogs isn't that great
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
Mhm, good question, I just use ffxiv analysis
thats why im wondering, if its trying to extrapolate positionals from rotation data or something
But I assume it checks if it does more damage probably
Why do you look so tiny
this coming from tobi
mb
bnuuy
bnuuy
Nah
missed the sign up
That shit fills up fast
I'm reading through the xiva module rn
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
hmm, my xiva isn't complaining about positionals at all and I know I missed some
maybe it broke recently?
actually not a set of possible potencies, it's just a set of possible values for that damage multiplier
yea im looking through some logs and it seems to report 100% which i find super sus
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
same, but I could've sworn I've seen it complain about it in tea the other day
i dont do melee at 100 so idk
might have to check a dummy
@torn mesa does this look right to you for fru lol
hmm nov 2 definitely reported positionals
it still flags the other melee's positional misses though
lemme toss my old dsr logs at it then I guess
yeah idk it still flags me for lvl 90 correctly
idkge
guess sam is broken too then
its reporting 100% for any log I throw at it, and theres no way in hell thats correct
maybe you're just Him
yeah
would be kind of insane for him not to be
kek
ok but Nov 22 random drg parse shows correct positionals. so maybe lvl 90 issue only
probably anything sub 100
which could be consistent with using potencies to guess
since u get potency upgrades at 94
because wheeling used to be a 5th hit
on an alternate combo
the combo is the same
from level 70 to 100
just some skills get different names
like vorpal thrust -> lance barrage at 96
drakesbane is your fifth hit now though
monk gets the buffs too though, odd that it works for it
yes its that way on 70 too
I think so yeah
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
yea its always true thrust/raiden - disembowel/spiral - chaos/chaotic - wheeling - drakesbane
pretty sure it used to
what was the EW link again
gg
monk at 80 works fine, sam is broken at 90 too, so I guess similar issue for drg
oh it doesnt like ?fights=
yea i break at lv90 sorry
that'll do it
interesting, still broken on sam for the EW version
you can feed blu logs into xiva? damn
tbf it looks sus too, looking at the replay
Parser - BLU
yeah its for tanks
i used it for all my solos
ok 300% weas an exaggeration ig
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
u do it for completion
I mean thats a fine reason to collect them

i mean i don't have any interest in actually doing content on BLU
once i got almost all the spells i never touched BLU again
I should finish this some time
can do some weeklies for aetheryte tickets ig
it did get me a ton of aetheryte tickets when i was broke
i did these all solo, idk abt the last two
enough for me to level gathering until i was self sufficient
think theyre in eden or smth
get the eden ones the % move is goated from e1
can i solo though
not likely
its on content (for blu) so the dmg will hurt still and even if you can solo itl take so long
Xivlauncher is installed and I can now install ffxiv

and sadly you also have to deal with 2 adds so thats double the anooyance
Is the dogshit xiv patching speed square’s issue or mine
Oh there we go i moved my router and the speed shot right up
moomoo rn
It was me
I will be using noclippy, act, uhh
Dragoon may cry
Anything else I might need?
love people talking about their mod collections and i’m playing vanilla
almost vanilla too
Lmao
simple tweeks
I think the only mod that gets a side eye from me is uhhh
Xivcombo
Borderline cheating imo
Whar
cactbot is infinitely worse
Are there worse offenders
Thats just lazyness mainly
ofc there are
xivcombo doesnt automate your rotation does it
anybody who uses cactbot deserves to be banned
if anything xivcombo just makes most jobs into vpr/pct / likes to save spots on hot bar
Is cactbot the one that lets you quintuple weave
I mean
it still completely removes the possibility of breaking your combo
and believe me
a lot of people still break their combos
lol
still you have to be really bad to break a 123 124
no, that requires changing the noclippy or xivalex source code
you can argue it's "qol" but it's still functionally an advantage
Oh ok
sam with meikyo can still do it
cactbot reads debuffs and tells you what to do for mechanics
it basically just does the thinking for you
less bad than you think
if you use cactbot why even raid at that point
Oh thats the one where its like “spread. Spread. Spread”
My cactbot is my raid leader
They shotcall
and to think there’s worse
yeah I've seen the chinese fru clip
in wow cactbot would be called dbm
chinese fru clip??
or bigwigs
Weakauras lmao
Yk whats crazy is bigwigs is considered a mandatory plugin
Its in all the beginner plugin guides
when i think of cheating i think of the bard in dsr
I forget, isn't WoW trying to retire plugins being needed for raids?
and this is why you dont upload like a dumbass
Yes
I mean yeah, because the game is literally built for it, it's not the same thing as 14 anymore
was it born out of people trying to make the game easier? yeah
They apparently just added limit cut with this upcoming raid and wow players are tweaking
but at this point it's basically just "you can't play the game without this" more than it is cheating
that’s idiotic
average ffxiv raid
oh we’ll just make a mod to tell you exactly where things are
Just as funny as when they discovered what rdps is last expansion
Lmao
i hate wow
that's just suzaku if you squint at it
thing is from wows last raid you can defo see a ff14 infulence on mechs
anyway yeah xivcombo is like. it TECHNICALLY gives you an advantage but it doesn't automate the entire game for you
Yeah exactly, literal normal level mechanic
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
wow knows its shit
wow mechanics are kinda lame in comparison but I'd commit murder to have some of their job designers work on 14

like imagine your game being so bad that you have to release a classic version to stay relevant
One thing I will say tho is the race based tutorials are cool
WoW feels like the kind of game that's fun with friends and utter agony alone
if you really want to cheat there's always plugins to automate doing entire fucking duties 
(don't do this i swear to fuck)
Like I played as some werewolf guy and the tutorial was cool as hell
ff14 doesn't have to do this because it hasn't evolved since ten years ago (poggers)
i stick to classic wow if i want to go to wow a simpler time a boomer time
Only 89 gigs left on my xiv download
idk I just play fellowship outside of 14 hours now
Whats fellowship
wow but I don't have to sit through the story
I mean to be fair, xiv is called "a realm reborn" for a reason
Oh ok
you just do dungeon
i’m reluctantly excited for the job changes coming in 8.0
Sounds good
I hope they listen in certain places but dont listen in others
it also only has standard movement which I hateeee
I'm trying to keep my expectations for 8.0 as nonexistent as possible, I like what they've done so far overall so I'm holding out hope that there's still improvement
i just want jobs to have identity again
instead of every tank being x with different flavor
i have zero expectations and zero hopes
I think it should be 40% difficulty in jobs, 60% difficulty in duties
I simply hope that my favorite two jobs don't get taken out back and shot
I think that's a pretty low bar
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
8.0 will be samurai loses arms length and gets surecast
kill dissipate, make seraphic blessing, remove energy drain and put aetherflow stacks on a timer instead of a cooldown, make succor instant cast
ah yes, sge 2.0

yessir!
what the fuck is a succor though /s
spell the name of the lv91 dungeon
evasion tank!
Shadow Clone - summon a clone that absorbs up to 25% of maximum HP. grants Shadow Arts when clone is completely destroyed
Ultra Dodge - summons an illusion that reduces damage taken by 40%
Perfect Dodge - dodge all incoming damage for 10 seconds
Shadow Army - summons an army of clones that reduce the party's incoming magic damage by 10% and physical damage by 5%

Tbf, the wow community definitely knew the importance of raid buffing things, like monk was hard locked for its phys vuln in every raid group and similar for a single dk etc, it’s just evoker was the first thing that yaknow, made it relevant number wise.
I wish skills retained their high lvl animations when downsynced
concitation looks nice
feeling like I want to call my ex (hakaze)
broil 4 is infinitely more satisfying than any other single target spell
Like nobody clamoured for slashing to be rdps in hw here, people knew you needed slashing and it was up 100% of the time (or close to) so it wasn’t revelant to separate
i miss my wife (broil 4) in anything below lv82
Hey question for plogon users
But as soon as rdps existed the pure numbers behind stuff like slashing piercing res etc really broke the larger community that hey wait a minute 10% damage perma up is a lot this ninja job is broken wtf
Decky for steam deck has a plogon called XIVOmega thats based on xivalexander for latency mitigation
Should i get that or noclippy
Okok
why not just use noclippy
No reason I just didnt know if it was any good
unless you really wanna raid on patch days
But you didn’t have like, any groups in either game going “raid buffs aren’t important” just pugs and casuals
https://github.com/shingonati0n/xivomega oh nvm this actually seems decent
basically same with xiv and dnc
Yeah, it’s what I was largely saying but maybe didn’t make it clear
it's just the standalone thing the xivalex dev made but packaged up nicely
solar bahamut in sastasha
So should I get it 
Rdps was always important and understood, dnc and evoker both just individually broke class rankings to where it was impossible to play without having an evoker on you
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?
#WorldOfWarcraft #WoW #WoWRa...
1869
And free oranges if you did have said dnc
alliance raid parsing 🔥
this reads so GPT
no automation, just skill.
Also the xivomega looks like literally a Linux version of Alexander using the same code
It really does
Which means you’d be able to manually update opcodes on patch drop and always have it available
the thing I miss the most on patch days is unironically my UI mod
rounded corners on all my squares 
I know nothing about linux I had to google what a sudo password was
yea
Well you wouldn't have baha at that level :D
But also isnt that the reason its not hydaelyn and instead solar baha
Yeah that’s why the people coping that steamcube is going to be console users first foray into pc gaming are insane
You can tell those Mfs never tried gaming on Linux
Lol
This is my first foray into linux gaming
Luckily steamos and google are saving me
i will say building a pc is mostly a matter of fear
its genuinly rly hard to mess up
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
I will not build a pc because I fried my motherboard trying to swap ram
...it goes in the square hole
Yea ik
.. Did you forget to turn it off first?
I was dumb and doing it on my bed
The thing is that like, a midrange pc on sale is just going to beat the steamcube every time. Prebuilts go on sale so often and you’ll get a MUCH better cpu for it
That's actually kind of insane you managed that
that's not really inherently problematic

And that's why you always have an anti-static strap on
To where the difference between Linux and windows is made up by that
^^ or even just make sure you get the static out
Since I don't use a anti static strap personally
I like to use one just in case I forget to ground myself first
chatgpt aside i am really curious to see how encounter design evolves for wow in midnight, they've been showing a lot of good stuff
I was just dumb :c
like a boss with animation tells
I need to get in on the beta but I feel like they'll take some pages out of ff books and it'll be interesting to see the next set of raids
4 man limit cut lets goo
i mean there's another boss that's just a classic ffxiv color fight
belo'ren
Especially with 20 man raid sizes being the norm I wonder how they're going to spread out the distribution of mechs
True
If you thought XIV players had a rough time reading left/right half room cleaves...
from what ive heard from raiders mechanics are much more randomly assigned
Yeah I raid in wow I'm just wondering if they're going to change the frequency
I've had some raid nights where I've gotten zero mechs
i used to play wow a lot, especially during df
im excited to come back for midnight
my former tank is a wow sweatlord and the way he tells it wow raiders are equivalent to that creature in your roulette when it comes to mechanics
its also one of my favorite like, focuses
but they can push their buttons I guess
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
They can push buttons but can't do mechs
wrapping up the issue of elven unity is gonna be cool
So it’s not even a one time issue to get a game running and you’re fine thing
yea wow ppl like to posture as tho wow is harder cuz of the rng but then you look inside and it's like oh only like 4 or 5 people actually do anything
did you see the datamined msq spoilers @vapid path
I haven't actually
Just play wow chiyo 
lmao
It’s better than fellowslop
I did for a bit
Lucky for moomoo xivlauncher has a linux native branch
I never like raided or anything but I finished the story and did a bunch of dungeons with said sweatlord friend
||xal atath succeeds in corrupting the sunwell into a void based darkwell at the end of the raid, and to heal it each of the major elven factions involved makes a sacrifice to heal it, and it becomes something called the Dawnwell||
I just think committing to actually playing a 2nd mmo at this point in my life would be career suicide
lol
That's insane
a lot of people are saying its terrible but i think its decent enough
the ||haranir are also included in that ritual||
I'm not shocked they're basically just elves but better
well i think
It’s my largest gripe with wow plot really is that every raid and expack etc just fundamentally breaks the world
people are mad that the implication from this is ||the elves are the only true children of azeroth lol||
im glad i wasnt around beyond bc
illidan fight was epic waiting for 15 mins per pull watching the god damn cut scene
Warcraft lore went from every ten thousand years the burning legion returns and needs to be fought off to “every year the fabric of reality is irreversibly damaged yet again”
After/during like, cata
they had to keep up with the wol
I realized real quick wow is better when you don't care about the story
Whats the faq for redeeming steam keys in xiv
I was actually surprised at the war within story
Can I redeem that mf on the website
!faq steamkeys
I have none of the context behind it but it didn't instantly make me want to uninstall the game
which is more than lost ark can say
my friend bought me a cute outfit in lost ark just to try to get me to play the game and I still bounced off after two hours
shame, because that was a very cute outfit
I tried lost ark I really just couldn't get into it
kmmo fun gameplay
I think I’d enjoy wow more nowadays if stuff actually reset a little between expansions and was more contained to them
dwarf fortress story 
But as somebody who grew up reading every Warcraft story and things and it’s
So depressing that none of that lore is basically relevant anymore
the metaphor ive seen is "it's like watching your childhood love work at a strip club"
thats
It’s more like
certainly a metaphor
I think that’s more derogatory than it needs to be
That is definitely a metaphor that's the first I've heard of it lol
Each story is fine on its own but
I feel like the whiplash of going from XIV story to WoW story would break my neck
I wish that a continents climax effected only that continent
It wasn't bad because I didn't have to touch it for awhile
So that the “pick which expansions you play” thing has contained arcs
Me going to wow was just running dungeons as a healer and then learning how tf does gearing work while I caught up in story
I do think their dungeon systems makes xiv look archaic
Then I got dragged into a +10 after a few +2's
Hopefully criterion is fun
And I think bc and wotlk did a good job of that, finishing wc3 stories in a contained way
god
m+
I miss her
I don't think it's even necessarily the m+ structure that makes me say that
but you like, actually have to do things in dungeons in other games
that aren't just hit enemy until die
Are any of you playing that aion game
I will say tanking in wow is a lot more fun and engaging compared to xiv dungeons
There's another aion game?
I miss aion
Ya the pve seems straight out of xiv
good lord
Can't turn your back as a tank or you actually take more damage
That's insane but I'm not shocked
XIV dungeons would be nice if they had anything going on between bosses, but then I feel like you'd get people endlessly whinging about some of them, like old Tam-Tara Deepcroft
Wait no, Totorak I meant
XIV has cancer between bosses when they try to do anything with it
see: stone vigil hard
The one that used to be way more labyrinthine
I don't want to play your dragon minigame
If tanks had to deal with routing like wow some would probably quit
hitting da skip
People already go insane in Haukke Manor if you don't have the exact path forward memorized
I almost got into Lost Ark, until I saw there was no option for male assassin
then I just gave up
and never touched it
Imagine xiv dungeons had skips
they know what sells
ninja hide button useful? 
Shocker
I still remember
boss at 1.5%
tank: "LB"
when I asked my friend what class I should play in lost ark
so you mean criterion dungeons then
Yeah if we had routes tanks would not exist
he sent me a picture of all of the classes with their ass out
and said pick your favorite
kmmo experience
Average kmmo
so uhh. i was just playing whm in a dungeon and clicked bene on the pld, their bar literally said .1% as i clicked it. felt pretty badass
casters in lost ark was basically pick your flavor of frieren
I'm not sure if it'd be possible to make Variant/Criterion style dungeons work in XIV MSQ, but that'd go hard honestly
msq is supposed to be accessible after all
this is why I'm so pissed they're taking trash out btw
people complained about dt dungeon difficulty on launch
wait what’s happening in the next criterion??
it's just boss rush
sameeee
it could, people just gotta git gud
it sucks 100%
i think after 5 expansions they can afford to start giving trash packs actual mechanics in casual content maybe
If we use what happened with Dawntrail idk
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
I just want criterions, none of that variant stuff, that's boring as hell anyway :D
just gimme trash that actually does something
But trash packs actually having mechanics in casual content would be nice and really should get added
instead putting walls everywhere to prevent w2w make the mobs prevent it
you've done sildihn right
ya, cleared all three
lemme see if I can find the clip my friend sent me
I need to finish up the variant dungeons honestly, then I'd be interested in giving Criterion a shot
the trash before the second sildihn boss is so good
shin_bye went live on Twitch. Catch up on their FINAL FANTASY XIV ONLINE VOD now.
lmfao
never even occurred to me to pull multiple
now I know why
surprised they didn't pull the big sword guy
1hp mech + 30s bleed
sounds like a fun time
they also did uh
pulling every mob in the first room of alo
that was p funny
does it count if I've done that by accident
smile
Rahhh 58gb left
This sounds terrifying but fun
... I might know what to do next after DSR
If you’re an EU player you understand what they meant
I like this person
Moogle player (derogatory)
They are funny
damn they stole the cute server
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
Speaking of Astro, am I supposed to save up the 10s flare aoe thing for heals, or just use as constant damage
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
afaik it's use for dmg but if you can move it to align for heals without losing an activation, do so
Oh ok its something i dont have
Oh right ty siti
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
Yeah, Astro feels a lot like BLM where you need to know the fight beforehand to get absolute value
I heard we’re getting a free fantasia with 7.4 is that true
SE never announced them ahead of time
same can be said for assize use off cd but can hold it if you know raid wide inc in a few secs
You can also place your star pre-pull, perfect for healing the first raidwide that almost always seems to happen after two autos
so no way to know
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
dnc feels nice
dnc is very chill
you can basically always get useful healing out of it
but you just place it on cd for damage
I love the dancing animation and how it looks like their hyping themselves up before a fight LOL
Bouncing up and down
I default to placing it -4 prepull, then you see what it can heal throughout a fight and plan your other tools around it
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)
I also kinda use both card 2 and 3 on my tank most of the time, is that typical
yes, but in raids there's often situations where you might want to use them on other people
Then give my buff to the designated dps and pair with my dmg buff aoe
The bole, the spire, and the arrow usually go on tank iirc
And then the others go on you or the respective dps
sometimes u gotta give mit to ur phys range or caster or they just fall over n die
But as chiyo says
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
Different situations call for different uses
I can see that with incoming damage on DPS that are telegraphed, where you might give them the dmg reduction or tick healing
Im just giving you the general use if nothing special is happening
look it's my 2min and I have to stay in my leylawn. you will single target heal me and like it
no. suffer and die

single target damage on them from baiting something works yeah, but even a simple raidwide
best i can do is 1 regen
in normal content ofc you can just use them to patch up people who are eating shit to something or other
What I typically do is pop regen then do burst aoes
is medica 3 , 1 regen
I might invest in kbm so I can heal more efficiently
Before you bring up the world proggers that play ast on controller
I have tried, it’s really rough for me and inconsistent
big balance doesn't want you to know that this is what an optimal chain window looks like
I at least want to have one job from each role to be proficient in
Whats the difference between xivalexander and noclippy anyways
Mine so far is DRK BLM then probably WHM
afaik alexander is a client with noclippy built in
Oh ok
xivalex works on patch
noclippy needs to wait for xivlauncher
you need battle litany so your heals crit
Okok
hope this helps
lol
Ok chat for my first act as the new member of FFXIV balance team
Heals and shields can now direct hit, and by that logic they can now crit direct hit
I thought my chain windows sucked
you gotta do what you gotta do when square enix decides the party will be taking 1 million damage over the course of 10 seconds during a burst
they were pretty rude for that
sch becomes 80% better than the other healers
what now
It is a bit cruel
now that Ive really been knuckling down on healer keeping dot uptime is annoying
that part hurts
sure does!
Ty for holding so I could get entire burst off
oh wow FRU PF is still all FMBG
would have thought NAUR would have muscled their way through by now
lol nope
people seem to be more open to doing naur p1 invulns though
which is nice
i don't really care but think it's funny because of how hard they tried
My fav part about fru mit but good is when it told me to dismantle an untargetable boss
Hey chat major issue uh
was it fmbg that was written by a dps player who legit didnt know the cd of the skills and its first iteration was actually impossible
None of my characters are on my steam game
like asking you to do 120s cd 90s later etc
Wait i might be tripping
are u on the correct dc/world?
just hit tab??
hello???
Im so stupid lol
its all good
Sage main
I was on chaos instead of light
ive done that before too, mini heartattack lol
i just remember 1 of the mit sheets had that back story and people wre pissed
Literally light rampant
can u mit the stack ty ^^
How do I get my PS5 settings onto PC

Do i go back on my PS5 and upload my character settinfs
Ya
Ok ty
You can store server side
They added that pretty recently iirc
I love me some spreadsheets
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1vBLGr_XTATzGqZ-bJJ3A0gqNxNHc6PyimToSWoRZJwI/edit?usp=sharing
playing the game on a spreadsheet is more fun than actually playing it fr
i want to try DRK in FRU but i don't feel like studying rotation
but i feel like my esteem/salted is going to come out at weird times and expose me

you can do pretty standard esteem things, there's the one funny early esteem tech that lets you get an extra disesteem after CT but like whatever the bosses are both 0.1 anyways
salted idk
besides that you can hold all of your usages into 2s in p5
o chaotic dark
descend and quench 3 dps
that's good hold
natty hold + weakness skip into 101 parse
biscuit when are you getting on the game with us for anything other than pvp
i have like 21 more CLL to do
the last time I saw you was when I was undergoing my egirl transformation
i thought you were a guy 
my brain struggles with it too but i think it's just that it's technically more math than cartridges
i appreciate when guides are just like "use this many edge here"
so i don't have to ever use my own brain cell
also i did arkveld ex with you
and pt
and ddosed 20 minutes into q40
no mechanics btw
public execution
clam komechowder really tells the truth
Is actiontimeline the logging one
wym logging one
ACT
Ohh
on linux your best bet is https://www.iinact.com/ i think
IINACT is a modern, open source replacement for Advanced Combat Tracker - built for Final Fantasy XIV. Compatible with Mac, Linux and Windows.
it's what i use at least
yeah it works
Oh ty
I just hate it because it updates like once every three seconds and it makes the overlay super jerky and grrrrr
oh wow i didn't realize you could 40% both burn marks as OT
