Crit damage isnt some separate entity in this game so anything which boost rate should up the damage too

Q40 really that fun?
rain geode
I suppose it did look fun the few clears I watched of it
jolly flume
I think a lot of the difficulty doesn't carry over video because it's so much constant micromanaging of your attention but yeah it's just
super engaging
which is honestly pretty rare for fights in this game, that they demand constant attention
rain geode
The only thing that really worries me in the fun factor is the targeting was annoying in the normal version I imagine that carries over to q40
jolly flume
yeah that's like turbo shit
just an ff systems moment
you kinda get used to it just like, flicking your camera up every time you want to tab, it's frustrating that it's necessary in the first place but it's alright

Cause tbn always was strong and instead of giving it an upgrade they split the mitigation part in a new separate button iirc

Also cause you don't want tbn to give mitigation in case it doesn't break, so that's why oblation is its own button?

Yeah, if I get in p7 again I think I'll be calmer the second time
Only thing I worry I might bugger is the direction to run for gigas if I'm not paying attention
jolly flume
damage really doesn't matter for the most part, between you and the brinked up picto we still killed (or would've killed) well before the first set of enrage towers went off, the only reason they did was the drg greeded hella late before pressing dsd
gigas you can sheep if you have sprint
idk if you sprint exas
random needle
I sprinted the first one but didn't on the second and I was fine, so I can probably just sheep gigas yeah
jolly flume
I prefer to sprint exas personally but yeah gigas aren't so tight that you can't eyeball a little
as long as you just stand still until you know where you're going
you're fucked if you start running in the wrong direction then try to double back
there's also a silly little giga dodge you can do where you just sprint straight through the boss hitbox towards the first giga after it goes off
random needle
That one's funny
random needle
Beyond that, the main thing I need to figure out is where I can best spend my instant casts in p6 and p7, since I'm pretty sure I was eating big chunks of downtime during gigas in 7
jolly flume
there are some blm demons in naur you can ask
gigas are 4 gcds though so you should be able to get away with a xeno and a triple or something
idk I'm no blm player lol
if you're r2 your auto is right before each giga as well so you never have to move that far to get to the initial spot
every mechanic set is basically a minute and change apart though so you can probably have a triple for each exa and giga, am is afk
random needle
And I'm already near the boss from Akh Morn, so I don't have to adjust that much to eat my auto
jolly flume
trying to think what I'd do
you can def do every exa with only 1 or 2 instants so xeno+swift and then you have 2 triples to play with on gigas and anything else maybe
random needle
Yeah, the main thing is definitely gonna be saving triples for gigas
torn mesa

there's noble's paradox where the more geared the parties get somehow the worse it gets
scarlet lintel
yeah thats why im optimistic about this being a bit easier, main issue ig is strats taking a while to solidify, but i like blind prog anyway and it wont realy be blind, just have to stay up to date with whatever raid plan until hector decides to declare law
rapid whale
esp with the strategy board i imagine this tier is gonna be a minefield of strats
double esp because CN has caught up and will be participating in this world race
scarlet lintel
oh boy
rapid whale
absolute warzone of strats
from what i remember of things like FRU on patch, you would have a strat page -> run it for an instance -> next party the page itself has already changed and you look clueless
so even tho its the same link because you didnt hit refresh, gg "bro did you read the raid plan??"
scarlet lintel
😭
so far my only experience with early strats has been the chaotic and ex5, neither were that bad
i do remember laughing when ex5 had 3 separate uptime strats, 2 of which were both named hector uptime

And all on a fight with a nonexistent DPS check
rapid whale
I'm so excited for the tier

so do PFs in week one let u even join if u arent pentamelded?
iirc it matters more if you actually wanna clear the entire tier week 1, if you just wanna prog, I doubt many will care

What the fuck is Parsing
Nvm i understand parsing now
Had to look it up lmaoo
loud nymph
It's comparing your performance to other people on your job in the same fight

Higher number means you performed better than that percentage of people, eg if you parse 90 that means you did better than 89% of people who did that fight on your job

I was in a conversation last night about relative difficulty of Ultimates, and what mechanics are "ultimate level" or not, and it got me wondering
Are there any mechanics in any Savage fights that you'd describe as "ult level"?
jolly flume
well going by the definition we were using which is like "devs literally went no holds barred and did their worst" no, but if you want to go by what's like actually in ultimates vs what's actually in savage I think there's a few that wouldn't be too out of place in terms of big set pieces
craggy marsh
Honestly this next patch will make me want to actually maybe do more content in pf again bc of the strategy board thing
But then again this is xiv players they still will wipe the group even when there's a photo telling them where to stand

Speed and margin for error I suppose
jolly flume
not really, there's a load of pretty slow stuff in mechanics, I think the defining feature is usually just how many different forms of limitations are imposed on you at once

Speed and margin for error I suppose
Then FRU shouldnt count as an ultimate /s

Personally im okay with 1 ult of an expansion being easier while the other ult is on the harder side
round burrow
Figured if animation plays I just slide my ass on that side
jolly flume
our take on fru was basically CT and apoc as off tank and everything else in the fight is kinda free
if fru came out in endwalker UR would not be a role based mechanic
and everything would actually do damage
DD and LR are just jokes as well

FRU LR does look weirdly easier than e8s LR
jolly flume
I mean, when's the last time you wiped e8s lr to chains lol
it's always orbs
guess what part of the mechanic isn't in fru lr
craggy marsh
Gonna be honest
LR was never a hard mechanic really. It was people not deciding what strat to use
random needle
I mean, when's the last time you wiped e8s lr to chains lol
You'd be surprised how inconsistent our tank was
jolly flume
well yeah I got an earful about him this morning
but by and large the orbs are what people fuck up
random needle
And yeah that is true
random needle
Is it role-based, too? I always saw you getting a tether and not one of the two who weren't chained
jolly flume
not really, but since it chooses six people, it's gonna be at most four people of one role and two of the other if not three and three, so the strat is built around those limited possibilities
basically just whichever side has 4 has the cw-most person flex over to the 2 side and then you resolve as if it were the 3-3 pattern
random needle
Damn

it's not too dissimilar in concept to the second part of icelit yeah

people also don't seem to understand that pointing your tether at the person currently taking a tower is a bad idea so i'm just spending the rest of this pull on the floor i guess
like of course we don't need a full party for unsync but it would be nice to not be on the floor

Relative to everything around it, I'd personally say so
