Last thing red mage needs is fixed ogcd rotation during melee burst

craggy marsh
#

Why tf does it have damage skills that dont get buffed by its damage buff skill

rain geode
#

like a contiunation for you melee combo?

rapid whale
#

Ya imagine lol

verbal frost
#

That’s ruined viper already.

rapid whale
#

Turn rdm into the busiest job in the tent

daring pine
#

i've ranted about this in vc before lmfao

#

i was so annoyed

verbal frost
#

RDM already pretty lit.

rain geode
#

Honestly Im personally pretty happy with where the jobs are at overall

verbal frost
#

Are they phys moves?

verbal frost
#

But idk it’s really just the raidbuffs for me honestly.

#

They are so gross.

rain geode
#

I like raidbuffs helping my team is fun

#

makes us feel more like a team instead of a bunch of randos

daring pine
verbal frost
#

I like having raidbuffs / support abilities on a class that should actually have it.

verbal frost
daring pine
#

so it doesn't get buffed

craggy marsh
daring pine
#

which sucks

verbal frost
#

Like just no reason for 4/6 melees to have raidbuffs honestly.

#

And tbf I get that the melee ones are actually all different.

rain geode
verbal frost
#

Like nine are exactly the same effect.

daring pine
#

i like that battle litany is a crit buff instead of just damage

craggy marsh
#

Why doesn't embolden just increase the rdm damage

#

Why does it have to be their magic damage

daring pine
#

it's dumb

wicked delta
#

Viper is reaper’s coked up cousin

verbal frost
#

They just gotta make dragoon the dancer / bard of melee.

#

It’s a whole big ass faction in lore.

wicked delta
#

Do you play Warhammer

verbal frost
#

Nah

daring pine
#

dragoons? big faction?

verbal frost
#

Ye

#

Like for a job

wicked delta
#

Damn

verbal frost
#

I think dragoon has the biggest faction / army

#

I can’t think of any other that has a bigger one

rain geode
#

I thought the dragoons where just a handfull of weirdos around ishgard

dapper zealot
#

They have the smallest

verbal frost
#

Are you sure?

wicked delta
#

Yeah there are not that many dragoons

dapper zealot
#

yes

verbal frost
#

There are jobs that essentially have none

daring pine
#

i can't think of any dragoons other than the WoL, estinien and the guy that gives you the job

dapper zealot
#

Dragoons are a huge deal but they die a lot

wicked delta
#

Yeah

dapper zealot
#

and it's incredibly demanding

rain geode
verbal frost
#

Not sure tbh. But like the vibe from the Heavensward trailer. Is these dragoons are a fucking unit.

sick dirge
#

theres the spiked butt guy mewpaissa

daring pine
#

i mean they are a fucking unit

verbal frost
#

So that’s my thinking as to why I think dragoons should be the team melee

rain geode
#

a small unit

daring pine
#

a small unit yes

wicked delta
#

Like there should be more of them but a lot of them just get diff’d by dragons

daring pine
#

but goated

wicked delta
#

Sob

verbal frost
#

Like I guess DRG mains might get mad

daring pine
#

maybe they should just jump higher

verbal frost
#

They are parse demons

#

But more raidbuffs will probably equal better parse anyways

daring pine
#

considering how little of the community parses i wouldn't think so

verbal frost
#

Tbf

rain geode
#

I mean Dragoon already has a raid buff

verbal frost
#

Nobody is more parse made than ninja players

#

They are addicted

wicked delta
#

Idk

#

I think samurai players are worse

rain geode
#

All the single target dotons I see would like to disagree lol

daring pine
#

i've only ever seen shitty ninja players

wicked delta
#

(Sorry Noble)

daring pine
#

samurais on the other hand

#

ya

#

its ok we like noble

verbal frost
#

Ye samurai’s crazy

wicked delta
#

Yeah but he deserves the slander

daring pine
#

flashbacks to that samurai in m8s that kept overlapping his aoe with mine during TR

#

:)

verbal frost
daring pine
#

idk how i didnt get clipped

verbal frost
#

Dragoons actually used to have 2 raidbuffs

#

They had the dragon eye

rain geode
daring pine
#

i think multiple raidbuffs would be a bit overkill

verbal frost
#

It was like AST card kind of

rain geode
#

that way you dont feel like you have to bring the guy who has a lot of buffs

verbal frost
#

If you remove the buffs from the other melees not really imo

#

Like how I see it

wicked delta
#

It used to be a thing in Heavensward but that also meant the toxicity was just worse

verbal frost
#

4/6 melees have raid buffs right now

wicked delta
#

Some phys range players refused to play without a dragoon in their team lol

verbal frost
#

When it should really be like 2/6 if you want healthy game design

#

So I think DRG / MONK should keep raidbuffs

rain geode
verbal frost
#

probably just take it away from reaper and ninja

rain geode
#

I think 4/6 is kinda the perfect amount

visual geyser
#

Same

verbal frost
#

It’s just way too much

visual geyser
#

They work differently too

daring pine
#

just bring gnb/war/whm/sge/vpr/sam/mch/blm to a raid

#

trust

verbal frost
#

Too many raidbuffs rn.

verbal frost
daring pine
#

i mean you can lol

verbal frost
#

Ye good luck clearing with this comp in PF

#

I’ve never seen it before

daring pine
#

pf is a shithole so that tracks

verbal frost
#

I think the worst I had was like

#

Replace rpr with vpr

rain geode
#

4/6 is the perfect amount you get two differnt flavors of greedy then everyone else gets to have a raid buff

verbal frost
#

And that was the worst comp I was in

daring pine
#

have a sch and drg in ur party then summon the rng gods to crit everything

verbal frost
#

I just think more jobs should not have a raidbuff

#

Than should

#

Just how I think at this point honestly

#

It’s more healthy this way.

verbal frost
#

dnc also? But they’ll probably DP the dragoon instead of me sadly.

rain geode
#

Eh if you start taking raid buffs away especially then giving those raid buffs to anther guy you just make the game toxic

verbal frost
#

wdym?

#

It’s just jobs at the end of the day

#

nothing will really change

daring pine
rain geode
#

Most people will complain that your not bringing the guy w/ raid buffs

verbal frost
#

the fact DRG is equal to RPR just shows the balance is shit lol

visual geyser
#

?

daring pine
#

huh

rain geode
#

in this hypothetical world

#

not in the current world

sick dirge
#

go figure

daring pine
#

we're just talking about dance partner priority in a vacuum

#

oh rpr is above drg

verbal frost
#

Ye I thought DRG was lowest

versed kayak
wicked delta
#

Depends on what fight we’re talking though

verbal frost
#

DRG does the least dmg out of the melees I think

#

I don’t think it’s on par with black mage tho that’s wild

wicked delta
#

In FRU for example, id probably DP the drg first

alpine plover
#

meowgonsong

wicked delta
#

Then switch to reaper afterwards

#

Because reaper is doodoo trash garbage in p1

verbal frost
#

It’s not that bad honestly

alpine plover
verbal frost
#

I think it still does more damage than dragoon in p1

rain geode
# verbal frost Nah

100% yes your already talking about how bad RPR is because it does like 5-6% less giving everyones raid buffs to one guy is only gonna make problems like that worse

daring pine
#

idk in m6s you might wanna dp the melee in your party that does better cleave

#

etc etc

verbal frost
#

Dragoon just has a better raidbuff

verbal frost
#

That already happens lol

alpine plover
#

meowgoon

daring pine
#

this was my comp earlier in m8s

#

collect my raidbuffs

verbal frost
#

Less raid buffs will only make the game more healthy

rain geode
#

Itll make the game less healthy and more toxic

verbal frost
#

How?

#

I just don’t understand that logic

#

Viper and black mage are the most popular jobs

daring pine
#

idk i feel like vpr popularity has fallen off a cliff

wicked delta
#

Paired alongside jobs with raid buffs

daring pine
#

i'd probably put sam up there considering how many i see

verbal frost
#

FRU is a clear example lol

#

but in savage it’s very popular

visual geyser
verbal frost
#

I’m pretty sure for FRU the most played ones are DRG and monk

wicked delta
#

VPR was popular this tier bc it has great cleaving potential

verbal frost
#

Ye

daring pine
#

maybe if it's week 1 or they're trying to parse something

rapid whale
#

vpr is a good job for prog too because any downtime you just disengage and throw boomerangs

wicked delta
#

It probably wont do as good next tier if we don’t get more adds phases lol

rapid whale
#

lose 0 dmg

verbal frost
#

Unless VPR gets buffs I don’t see it being played much lol.

wicked delta
#

Thats also true

visual geyser
#

They nerfed its aoes too

verbal frost
#

But it depends on how hard the dps checks are.

rain geode
visual geyser
#

Dps Checks will be free

verbal frost
#

One of the fights is def two bosses tho tbf.

#

I think

visual geyser
#

3 weeks of tome

wicked delta
#

Yeah what dps check

visual geyser
#

Lmao

alpine plover
#

mb

wicked delta
#

You basically get free tome pieces this tier

verbal frost
#

Just don’t see this logic

rain geode
wicked delta
#

What they mean is

verbal frost
#

Viper and Black Mage horrible bursts anyways

#

They don’t care about raidbuffs

rain geode
#

People are Already toxic to MCH players

verbal frost
#

Removing raidbuffs would make them better if anything.

wicked delta
#

selfish jobs benefit from jobs with raid buffs
so people will refuse to play with ppl who wont feed their dps

alpine plover
#

horrible heists

verbal frost
#

The only selfish job that actually benefits from raidbuffs is samurai

verbal frost
#

Like more than raidbuff jobs

alpine plover
#

switches to sge

wicked delta
verbal frost
#

It’s just how they balance it rn sadly

wicked delta
#

You hate me Tithus…

verbal frost
#

The only exception is probably dancer since DP Viper or RPR is still better than the other melees for the most part

#

Because of standard step

alpine plover
#

i dont hate you

daring pine
#

oh

#

tobi

alpine plover
#

proof: i want us to suffer together in chaotic

daring pine
#

i saw p2 btw

alpine plover
rapid whale
#

grats on p2

wicked delta
rain geode
verbal frost
#

For a static sure ig

#

In PF nobody cares.

rain geode
#

Nobody cares because most people get a raid buff so it hardly matters

verbal frost
#

Unless a job is insanely overpowered like Picto, or a dps check is very tight, nobody cares.

rain geode
#

youre change would make it a problem

verbal frost
#

Removing most raid buffs would have so many positive effects honestly.

alpine plover
#

picto is not overpowered anymore

rain geode
verbal frost
#

Would make dps checks together because more consistency will be required.

#

Also because stacking raid buffs won’t be as strong

rain geode
verbal frost
#

Say, if red mage was the only caster with a raid buffs, but it does slightly less damage than black mage and picto.

#

Is it really worth bringing it just for the raidbuff?

verbal frost
rain geode
trim frost
#

no left eye was peam

verbal frost
#

EW DRG was waayyyyy better

#

I just don’t get why you want jobs to have raidbuffs, even if it doesn’t fit the job fantasy.

#

When they can have way more interesting expression

rain geode
#

well first of all I think all the buffs that exist fit the fantasy

verbal frost
#

Explain each of them, then.

timber stratus
#

bard goes graaaaah and you get super hype

rain geode
#

Im not gonna sit here and explain every buff in the game tell me what you think is the least fitting

verbal frost
#

I already said earlier

#

Jobs with raidbuffs rn

#

AST, SCH, BRD, DNC, DRG, RPR, NIN, MNK, PCT, RDM. SMN.

rain geode
#

youve been saying silly stuff all night I cant possible rememeber it all which job has a raid buff that you think lorewise fits the least

verbal frost
#

Jobs that should keep raidbuffs:

trim frost
#

job identity is a buzzword anyway

#

doesnt mean shit

verbal frost
#

It’s not

#

Just look at other mmos

#

Anyways

rain geode
#

I mean you are the one suggestion we take away some of a jobs identity by taking their raid buffs away

trim frost
verbal frost
#

AST, SCH, BRD, DNC, RDM, DRG, MNK.

#

Should keep

lyric summit
#

job identity is umbrella term for "things i came up with that game devs should add because its really cool in my head"

verbal frost
#

Remove from NIN, RPR, PCT, SMN (unless hydaelyn raidbuff).

visual geyser
#

“However, because there will be a longer gap between the release of Patch 7.4 and the release of Savage than usual, the item level you can increase between the patch release and the release of Savage will also be different from usual. To compensate for this, we have adjusted the numerical values ​​so that it will be just as challenging as usual for those aiming to clear the game on the first week. So, rather than thinking that it will be easier than expected to clear, you can think of it as just as challenging as usual. Please note that this does not mean that you can just get your gear as casually as possible because there will be a longer gap than usual”

keep headcanons as headcanons please

Just wait until 8.0. You’ll see.

does that mean reclears will have dps check worryWeirdSleep

verbal frost
#

I wish they would make it super hard. So people actually start complaining.

People will want to see scouting tome pieces if I VPR but I'm gonna be buying all fending

trim frost
#

why is this little man trying to out-aura me

robust shoal
#

Annoying thing about that is your third/fourth tome piece isn't even that big

rain geode
# verbal frost Remove from NIN, RPR, PCT, SMN (unless hydaelyn raidbuff).

NIN typically work together often on missions makes perfect sense for them to have a raid buff, RPR use dark arts to buff themselves it makes sense they could use it to buff others as well, PCT can inspire other with its pictures (literally like bard buffs with its songs) and SMN can literally conjure beings it makes sense they could use that energy to empower.

robust shoal
#

good crafted pieces can beat base tome

rain geode
#

so yeah they all make perfect sense

verbal frost
#

SMN literally uses random arcanist move and its a raidbuff apparently

#

The only one that makes sense you said is PCT.

#

At least to me.

rain geode
#

Im sorry your just being silly then

verbal frost
#

For sure. For sure.

#

I mean keep playing the game.

You’ll eventually see what I told you is true.

Not much I can do to convince you right now. The game is not hard.

Although best case scenrio is it would work like facewear

would that best case for beards too and yet here we are

trim frost
#

beards 😔

rain geode

I guess the downside if it would liked facewear would be anyone not playing a race with a tail would get useless loot so maybe it should just be a fanta thing

trim frost
versed kayak
#

they could let you change it with the aesthetician

#

he can already do eye surgery to install headlights on lizzers

trim frost
#

my crackpot theory is that hardiboiled existing means interchangeable facial features like beards between faces for 8.0

#

brute bomber is going to show up again but with stubble trust

pale blade
#

Yeah I think that's the sentiment people held about Hildibrand for the longest time, that it's partially a testbed for character models and animations

trim frost
#

you know the cutscenes where hildibrand and godbert's faces get deep fried

#

yeah those are considered separate npc faces

versed kayak

#

So lemme get this straight. Coils are somewhere between Ex and Savage by default and the second has an additional proper Savage version?

zealous meteor

fair enough

trim frost

hard to judge by modern standards but just know it's a lot harder than basically everything else arr has to offer

versed kayak
trim frost
#

i seem to recall that as well

rapid whale
#

yea from what i remember hildi quest line is basically flexing their animation chops

#

to then make better cut scenes in the future

And since coils arent in roulettes it wont pop if you queque for it unless like 8 sprouts q in

rain geode
vast jacinth
#

Ngl hildi is silly and i like it yD and go off testing out your animations engine

You drop it down

crazy thing to me is like all the had to do to make it passible was have it drop a totem that lets you upgrade the 755 weapon to 760 or 765 and give it a glow effect.

rapid whale
#

Low key I thought the q40 reward was going to be a shiny upgrade materials for the DD weapon, like how alo savage made tome weapon shiny

sick dirge
#

wdym you dont wanna beat up a mouse/whatever other bosses there are 9 times

#

pt weapons not glowing is definitely a choice

visual geyser

I think they could’ve had the weps glow

rapid whale
#

Ya same thoughts

wicked delta
trim frost
#

can they back implement quantum for excalibur

rapid whale
#

Cuz the weapon designs themselves were really pretty

wicked delta
#

Please look forward to it.

rain geode
#

I think you can have the best of both worlds make it not glow but have Q40 drop a version that glows

trim frost
#

that would be nice

rain geode
#

or probably better for it to be an upgrade material to make the non-glowy version glowy

#

and maybe make it 765 since its ulti level its probably fine to have max ilevel

#

Ya I did everything but savage

molten moon
#

OK now go do savage

#

It's actually fun

#

Plus do it now before it dies off next patch

visual geyser
#

Do forked

rain geode
alpine plover
#

get lvl 18 resistance and do DRS

#

or 15

#

idk how much NA wants

rapid whale
#

I'm 25

molten moon
#

18 best for QoL

alpine plover
#

perfect

torn kindle
alpine plover
#

then defo sign up

molten moon
#

Yeah go sign up

rapid whale
#

I did the diaurna or whatever

molten moon
#

Nah that's just normal mode

rapid whale
#

Oh is there more after

molten moon
#

Delubrum Regina savage is the super fun one

#

It's optional content

alpine plover
#

it's like forked tower in a way. needs organized group basically

molten moon
#

Kind of like 4 extreme trials duct taped together with the trash from criterion

#

Needs an organised group yeah

rapid whale
#

Forked seemed fun but I got mad at oc when I hit like 12 of multiple jelly colors before receiving even 1 of 2

#

Never went back lol

rain geode
#

I would try forked but getting what is it 48 people seems uh...

#

at least if Im remembering what forked it

rapid whale
#

You do it over discord

molten moon
#

Yeah it's done over discord atm

rain geode
#

I guess the other question is... is there a reason to do it?

molten moon
#

For fun

rapid whale
#

Ain't nobody got 48 friends

#

There's also a world where you need a +2 set to make the new set

rain geode
rapid whale
#

I think that's how bozja did it, need+2 set from zone 1 combined with +1 set from zone 2 to create +2 set of zone 2

molten moon
#

There's pick up groups at different prog points in a couple discords for NA

wicked delta
rain geode
#

Tho it depends on how strict you wanna get with the word friend

rapid whale
rain geode
#

Im 27 and I dont feel young

Cant believe ur only 2 years older than me Bapple!

Where do you start the DT relics?

wicked delta

So cool…..

rapid whale

You've been doing all your blue quests right

Somebody shoot this person

kill

rain geode
#

Ive done... most of them

#

but like past a certain point

zealous meteor
#

kill

rain geode
#

theres sooooo many

#

ok I have to say it

#

that doesnt look like kill

zealous meteor
#

well it is

jagged aspen
#

its not that many no?

zealous meteor
#

im killing

jagged aspen
#

i think i just skipped everything

rain geode
rapid whale
#

I just did the ones in dawntrail so I feel you

jagged aspen
#

this chain, right?

rapid whale
#

Me having not doing Eden raids but cleared fru

jagged aspen
rain geode
#

ok thats a little insane tho ngl

#

I at least did the like big Blue quests like the raid and alliance raids

rain geode
#

well most of them

dapper zealot
#

Go do them

jagged aspen
#

ngl. they should change ult requirements from some random savage that's completely unrelated to the raid, to actually finishing story of the related raid

quick verge
#

nolol

pale blade
#

hwat

rapid whale
#

Lhw effect was bad enough

rain geode
#

I mean the idea of the req is to make sure you can handle the fight

jagged aspen
#

like, what does having to suffer through p8s pf have to do with doing TOP

rapid whale
#

To filter people from top pf

quick verge
#

you must be this tall to ride

versed kayak
quick verge
#

if u can’t body a 2 minute fight in 2025 u shouldn’t do top

wicked delta
quick verge
#

and if you couldn’t do it on content

#

you shouldn’t do top

jagged aspen
#

Yea doing unsync exdeath solo is suuch a great filter nowadays isnt it

rapid whale
versed kayak
sinful brook
#

It was also to make it so that gear from the tier the ult comes from has value

rain geode
#

Now since you can unsync the savages it becomes less of a bar with time but y'know its the thought that counts

jagged aspen
#

It's just a completely unrelated requirement. Why isn't current savage a suitable replacement for it then?

versed kayak
#

locking DSR behind post HW msq? :D

sinful brook
#

And also keeps parity with the level the content is released for

jagged aspen
wicked delta
#

Im just calling you a shortie

#

Happy for your TOP clears tho!

sinful brook
#

Makes little sense for lv60 content to be an unlock condition for lv90 content

versed kayak
jagged aspen
#

Maybe make clearing any current savage tier an alternative unlock requirement then?

versed kayak
#

it's not unrelated

jagged aspen
#

keyword was

rapid whale
#

I mean

versed kayak
#

why would they change the requirement afterwards

rapid whale
#

If the new argument is if you don't clear an on patch savage you can't ultimate raid period

#

As in it locks for everyone until the tier is done every time

#

That's a bit much but I kinda like it

jagged aspen
#

I did say alternate unlock

#

Obviously locking all ults for everyone when M12 comes out is not cool

fierce matrix
#

conecern what did i wake up to

sinful brook
#

I think it's not really good for people like chiyo

#

Who did ults before a full tier

wicked delta
#

Hello Chinese Furen

jagged aspen
#

Nothing much, just my usual rant about having to do old savage raids

fierce matrix
rapid whale
#

I mean yeah UWU pf was full of people who had no business being there

versed kayak
#

uwu, ucob and tea basically have no requirements to unlock them already, and the panda raid die quick unsync

rapid whale
#

That much I'll agree with

versed kayak
#

People also still do p8s for glam

fierce matrix
#

P8s still requires you to do HC and NA

#

If people cant do that then dont do top

boreal pumice
jagged aspen
#

p8 wont require HC soon enough

versed kayak
#

idk I did them MiNe and got the unlock that way so

sick reef
#

I mean what is your suggestion for an alternative path to unlock ults?

jagged aspen
#

any current savage would be good enough no?

fierce matrix
#

Idk doing a quick unsynced piece of content takes no time at all, and when its current it makes sense to have it

#

Unless your complaint is that it doesn't prepare people for ulti

jagged aspen
#

Like, if you cleared m8s in this patch, that should qualify you for attempting ults, moreso than doing unsync p8s or whatever

rain geode
sick reef
sinful brook
#

I'm just not seeing how that matters

#

Or why it's important the requirements change

fierce matrix
#

You can solo both omega savage fights in like 3 minutes

sinful brook
#

It's not like clearing the savage means you can play the game lol

versed kayak
#

it's a lot of dev work to save someone an hour of pf maybe

jagged aspen
#

Especialyl when it's something like panda that still requires learning strats, for content that you won't ever touch again

sick reef
#

Isn't that like 2 or 3 real mechanics

jagged aspen
sinful brook
#

Not really

fierce matrix
#

Also if you cant do 2 or 3 mechs unsynced why are you stepping into top

#

Looper will filter you quick LOL

rapid whale
#

Good luck seeing them

fierce matrix
#

Gotta get past beetle

sick reef
#

Looper humbling ™️

fierce matrix
#

Mmm panto

wicked delta
#

I’ll make it work

sinful brook
#

This is like saying msqing to 100 means something

wicked delta
#

I’ll just eat the beetle

sinful brook
#

Idk the content itself will filter people if necessary

rapid whale
rain geode
wicked delta
#

Let me dream of kissing men

sinful brook
#

Idk why there needs to be additional esoteric requirements that update for arbitrary reasons

rapid whale
#

Eating random beetles is a good way to get sick tobi

sinful brook
#

It doesn't improve the experience

jagged aspen
#

p8s is way more esoteric nowadays 🤷

#

or well, any old savage for that matter

zealous meteor
sick reef
#

Bro baited endgame chat n left 😭

wicked delta
#

Im not eating a random fucking beetle… im eating THEEEE Omega beetle

jagged aspen
#

especially for new players that havent done the raid series

wicked delta
sick reef
#

I don't think a new player is thinking about doing ults ngl

zealous meteor
#

but also you're learning like 3 minutes of fight at most

rain geode
rapid whale
sick reef
jagged aspen
#

new player doesn't mean bad though? theres plenty of ppl that played other mmos on a decent level and are trying out xiv

wicked delta
jagged aspen
#

some will have a rough learning experience, but i fail to see how something like exdeath or kefka prepares them for it

wicked delta
#

#wewontdropnames

fierce matrix
sick reef
#

Think of it as stepping stones

fierce matrix
#

As a raider, people should know that

#

Doing snakes to understand snake prio

rain geode
fierce matrix
#

Insanely important

#

Nah I would.

jagged aspen
zealous meteor
#

well yeah i still disagree with "weh i don't wanna do P8S for TOP"

sinful brook
#

Idk I think the argument for changing requirements doesn't improve this

rapid whale
fierce matrix
#

YES

#

EXACTLY

versed kayak
jagged aspen
#

theres plenty of mechs in the game. 99% of them arent particularly hard, they just take time to study and practice

sinful brook
#

It's also a moment of

sinful brook
#

I don't want to play the game to play the gamr

sick reef
#

Ye if u change reqs then ur just adding a new thing to learn before u prog sum else

fierce matrix
#

I just also fundamentally disagree with that they are useless things to learn

#

They are always valuable imo

#

Shits so similar across tiers and fights

zealous meteor
#

but the people annoyed at P8S being a requirement for TOP (probably) aren't like "unsyncing savage is too hard ;-; i still wanna do ults tho"

jagged aspen
#

the only relationship between top and abyssos is that they were relevant in the same patch

rain geode
zealous meteor
fierce matrix
#

I literally reference orb gathering from ramuh ex on fights all the time

verbal frost
#

If you can't do high concept 1, you have no business doing TOP.

fierce matrix
#

Ifrit dashes is also just something you remember

jagged aspen
#

sure, but the same can be said about every other mech in the game. why not have all of them as a gauntlet requirement to enter top, then?

fierce matrix
#

Like DSR is just ifrit dashes for the first mech

verbal frost
rain geode
jagged aspen
#

it's not like they picked p8s specifically because they though it's a good test of skill, but purely because it was the latest savage in that patch

fierce matrix
#

Ex+

verbal frost
#

If people can't do high concept 1 they should not be doing TOP

fierce matrix
#

No one gives a fuck about other shit lower than that

jagged aspen
#

and HC won't be a thing in 7.4 anyway

verbal frost
#

TOP is the hardest fight in the game. HC1 is a normal savage mechanic.

#

Yeah true.

rain geode
verbal frost
#

HC1 is not even that hard, that's the funny thing.

#

HC2 is a much more complex mechanic.

fierce matrix
#

Again we arent talking about that

#

I get they are content but im talking stuff that has strats

#

And prios

#

Endgame lounge btw

jagged aspen
#

what's stopping people from sending 6 dps and skipping HC currently btw?

sinful brook
#

I think it's also facetious to say they "picked" the fight to connect the unlock

verbal frost
#

Well

#

like right now

verbal frost
#

it requires everyone to be BiS

#

and NA1 requires

jagged aspen
#

surely you can still cheese NA

verbal frost
#

well I mean it's still mechanics right

#

not rlly

jagged aspen
#

just have it roll on dps and tanks invuln

verbal frost
#

NA1 is body check

wicked delta
#

Having safety net helps

verbal frost
#

it's slightly cheesable

#

is it worth gambling though? No.

rain geode
verbal frost
#

NA1 even for the fire / ice if you hvae not enough ppl you die sometimes

#

I think fire you must have 2

#

Ice I think 2 is fine insteadof 3

#

I'm not sure.

fierce matrix
verbal frost
#

But like I'll say it again

jagged aspen
#

i mean, you just have tanks bait both and invuln, that should be good enough?

verbal frost
#

If people cannot do the savage unsyncs, they hvae zero business attempting the ultimate unlocked by it.

#

They will 100% grief pf.

fierce matrix
#

Its not the fact that they cant

#

Like they said

#

Its that its just tedious and they dont want to do it

verbal frost
#

I don't really think ultimate should have unlock requirement anyways, tbh.

#

Who cares that much?

#

But It's just how it is, I guess.

#

I guess it's to filter the trolls, when the content is current.

fierce matrix
#

I would rather people not walk into ulti without clearing the current savage tier thats dropped

verbal frost
#

When it's not current anymore, I don't really see the point.

jagged aspen
#

Pretty much. If you cleared current savage on content, then you can certainly figure out how to do an old one unsync, but the game still wants you to spend time doing that

verbal frost
#

I think that's fun actually

#

It's interesting.

#

They should consider doing savage unreals one day.

fierce matrix
#

Because then people can roll in with full augmented tome and relic weapon and I crash out when they cant play the game

torn kindle
#

Me seeing the near-daily attempt of a sprout queueing for old extremes

jagged aspen
#

The raid series are fun yea, but I prefer to do them at my own pace, and not being forced to speedrun them if my friends decide to do an ult for instance

fierce matrix
#

People annoyed the fuck out of me fru day 1 pf cause they had non bis gear rolling in

#

And we werent meeting dps checks

#

In p1 no deaths

#

Id rather not make it worse with having no unlock requirement

jagged aspen
#

Just bring picto lol

daring pine
#

people still annoy the fuck out of me in m8s pf when i see them wearing arcanaut gear

fierce matrix
#

THIS WAS WITH PICTO

daring pine
#

and san d'oria gear

#

yes this happened

verbal frost
#

I think it's fine how it is.

#

Nothing really needs to change.

jagged aspen
#

For latest ult yea sure the requirement makes sense

fierce matrix
#

I had a 723 DRG roll in

verbal frost
#

But I would also be fine with there being no requirement.

#

Ultimately, I don't care that much tbh.

daring pine
#

7..23?

fierce matrix
#

Into day 1 fru

rain geode
#

wait whats wrong with second walk gear?

verbal frost
#

People lock the IL to BiS anyways, for ultimate.

fierce matrix
#

YES

verbal frost
#

If you aren't rolling in with BiS, you are trolling.

#

for current ultis.

fierce matrix
#

Just require savage

#

Idk makes sense

daring pine
verbal frost
#

That's the thing though to be honest.

fierce matrix
#

To do hardest content, you do hardest content

verbal frost
#

I mean I really don't care it's a non issue

daring pine
#

if you haven't cleared 8 at least

verbal frost
#

way bigger issues

fierce matrix
#

I really care

#

Its a big issue to me LOL

verbal frost
#

It's a weird hill to die on.

#

But I agree with both takes.

#

I can see the argument for both.

jagged aspen
rain geode
verbal frost
#

this BiS is useless anyawys

jagged aspen
#

how much do you even earn from having capped maths going into 7.4

verbal frost
#

It's the most useless BiS since Eden's Promise.

jagged aspen
#

like how much do the mats cost on day 1

verbal frost
#

This BiS is only useful for Extreme and reclearing savage.

remote gate
#

do you guys think doom train is gonna be a good extreme

verbal frost
#

ye

#

better than Necron

#

that shit was ass

#

Just give it a reasonable dps check like Sphene.

daring pine
jagged aspen
#

well, it's kinda odd to call it useless when a huge portion of people doing savages don't touch ults or criterions anyway

verbal frost
#

Fuck, even Zoraal Ja on release.

wicked delta
verbal frost
#

The dps check for the recent extremes have been jokes.

daring pine
#

necron wasnt even that bad

verbal frost
#

It's really sad.

#

Necron was horrible

#

Nothing is good about that fight.

rain geode
jagged aspen
#

doom train is supposed to be the new trial?

sick reef
#

Can train even be good if they tried?

wicked delta
#

I think Necron was kinda caca doodoo garbage

daring pine
wicked delta
jagged aspen
#

i thought its brute bomber making a return in the form of a train in m11

verbal frost
#

EX1 > EX4 > EX2 > EX3 > Arkveld EX > EX5

#

So far for me.

daring pine
#

mountain fire glaze

I was gonna do M6S tonight but then my little sister needed help with stuff and then it was to late to pf 🙁

remote gate
verbal frost
#

No

#

Valigarmanda was just a fun tral

jagged aspen
#

you hated spheen so much?

verbal frost
#

imo.

random needle
#

I think Necron solo phase was interesting, but the more I think about it, the more it's so... bleh

verbal frost
#

Sphene is fine

#

I think the first 4 are good extremes

daring pine
verbal frost
#

Arkveld is whatever

wicked delta
jagged aspen
#

i skipped 4, dont think anyone does it anymore

random needle
#

The fight as a whole, I mean

verbal frost
#

Arkveld is fine

#

It's good that Arkveld is an extreme.

jagged aspen
#

i literally did one pull of arkveld lol

verbal frost
#

I'd rather have it in the game than not.

#

Necron is horrible.

#

Well

#

Idk

daring pine
sick reef
#

Arkveld ex was too forgiving

verbal frost
#

Necron has some cool mechs.

jagged aspen
#

i found it the most boring shit since DT MSQ

remote gate
#

still glad arkveld was developed as a ffxiv fight and not a monster hunter fight

verbal frost
#

The fight is just fucking lame.

wicked delta
#

Yo can you kiss Arkveld cus if so I gotta farm

verbal frost
#

What's the hard necron mechanic called?

#

like Champion's Circuit.

random needle
#

MM2

#

It's not hard, but PF cannot do it

verbal frost
#

That mech not even hard, people are just dumb.

#

The other one is harder probably.

jagged aspen
#

its also cheesable af

rain geode
verbal frost
#

ye but ppl in pf are idiots

#

the tanks don't know they can take trio towers

rain geode
#

Its like 9 am and I havnt slept yet x-x

daring pine
#

what's your prog point

jagged aspen
#

idk ive seen plenty of times a healer get rez'd into lb

remote gate
#

the raiding server im in has a static that does necron weekly and they still haven't cleared it since jt released

verbal frost
#

if tanks adjusted, it would be a non-mech.

verbal frost
#

tbh

rain geode
verbal frost
#

I would have to judge the extremes on like how many clears I have of each

#

so let me show you that.

random needle
#

Tell them to uninstall on god

jagged aspen
#

i love m6s but i dont want to be jailed in adds prog 😄

remote gate
#

which is insane because some of the people in that static i know are great at the game and others not so much

daring pine
#

idm helping fresh prog

#

you're going to suffer during adds though

verbal frost
#

So judging by this honestly.

#

My favorite was probably EX4.

rain geode
#

Yeah adds looked rought nothing else looked that hard

jagged aspen
#

some statics just have friends that are slow learners and ppl are fine with it, so why not

rain geode
#

Im a quick learner to

verbal frost
#

ex4 was really fun. I likd the fight tbh.

daring pine
verbal frost
#

Ex4 issue was the dps check was non-existent.

daring pine
#

adds is rough, everything else is whatever

verbal frost
#

but it's not a huge deal.

sick dirge
#

jesus fuck

verbal frost
#

If a fight is fun, I can ignore the dps check being easy.

random needle
#

EX4 is neat, I got tilted because people couldn't do bloom 4 but it's fine

verbal frost
#

Necron is not that fun imo, and the check is a joke.

#

Therefore I don't like it.

rain geode
#

Arkveld ex is probably the most fun Ive had in an ex

verbal frost
#

Sphene was a painful Extreme in PF, but the DPS check was savage level so I enjoyed clearing it.

rain geode
#

necron is fun when other people can do the mechanics

verbal frost
#

It's weird imo.

random needle
#

Yeah it's genuinely nuts how low the Necron DPS check is

verbal frost
#

They can release Extremes with savage level dps checks

#

usually first floor savage or second floor sometimes

jagged aspen
#

idk i didnt see anything interesting about arkveld at all

daring pine
#

necron? dps check? xd

verbal frost
#

and then they release extremes with joke dps checks

#

arkveld is fine having a easy one

#

because the fight is chaotic

#

so arkveld is an exception

#

but ex4 and ex5 could have had harder ones.

rain geode
#

I also think crossover content should be slightly easier but thats just me

verbal frost
#

Necron enrage should be grand cross 2, imo.

jagged aspen
#

isnt omega one of the hardest fights in MH 😄

verbal frost
#

Like the end of it.

random needle
#

Hopefully ex6 tightens the check at least a bit

verbal frost
#

I'll show you my first necron clear

#

It's absolutely wild.

#

Quite a bad first impression.

rain geode
daring pine
#

i need to play wilds in the first place

#

i've only played a bit of world and a tiny bit of rise

rain geode
#

fun game Id play it with you

verbal frost
#

this was my first clear I think

#

look at the deaths, man.

#

It's a joke.

jagged aspen
#

imagine if you had to play every MH in chronological order to get to wilds

verbal frost
#

I don't even think we saw the actual enrage also.

#

This should not be a clear for on content extreme.

daring pine
#

@remote gate shiggy

#

do you want me to sum up my m8s pf experience in one image

daring pine
verbal frost
#

It's really bad.

verbal frost
#

Like I think there was a healer lb3.

#

It's still really bad.

jagged aspen
#

ive seen more deaths in m5s, so why not

#

which is still technically current

verbal frost
#

I understand that people think Extreme checks should not be hard

daring pine
#

millennial decay moment

verbal frost
#

But I'm at least expecting Extremes to be like first floor savage dps check.

#

Maybe it's just me though.

#

Especially if the fight is on the more chill side mechanics wise.

#

Suzaku unreal was wild for that.

rain geode
#

I really should make myself sleep if I fall asleep now I can wake up in about 8 hours at 6 pm for me which would be a good time to start pfing

verbal frost
#

Pf what?

daring pine
#

6s

verbal frost
#

Good luck this late, lmao.

jagged aspen
rain geode
#

5S wasnt that bad tho 6S is obviously a harder fight

verbal frost
#

Ye I mean

daring pine
#

it took me like 100 pulls to clear 6s and at least 50 of those were people that couldn't do adds

wicked delta
#

6S is easy with cleavemaxx

verbal frost
#

Considering this fight released

jagged aspen
#

if you can clear current savage with 15 deaths, whats wrong with clearing ex with 14?

wicked delta
#

But even outside of adds

verbal frost
#

with min IL 740

wicked delta
#

People cant do mechs

verbal frost
#

and max IL 760

wicked delta
#

Lava phase is TOO HARD

verbal frost
#

the dps check should not be like 160k

#

Oh, 6s is fucking easy. lmao.

daring pine
#

it is yeah

verbal frost
#

At least as a dps.

daring pine
#

people can't do towers somehow

rain geode
#

I mean pf is basically a lotto right you either get a lot of good people and clear quickly or you dont and dont

jagged aspen
#

lava phase is the bane of reclear pf

daring pine
#

baffles me

verbal frost
#

The hardest part is probably river / bridge phase.

daring pine
verbal frost
#

Because people still don't agree on the spread spots.

daring pine
#

i saw 6s enrage once

#

it was in a reclear pf

verbal frost
#

River / Bridge is the hardest part imo.

daring pine
rain geode
#

like I got lucky with my M5S and did it in 12 pulls

verbal frost
#

Lightning spreads are really bad in pf

jagged aspen
#

ive seen enrage like once i think

daring pine
#

how on earth

verbal frost
#

since everoyne follows hector for it

daring pine
#

do you see enrage in a reclear pf
