[pale blade]

I always ask if it's okay if they're willing to take someone like me if I'm like

one or two mechanics behind

[craggy marsh]

There was this one fucker who tried harassing me over me prog skipping to p5 even though I studied up beforehand and everyone else in the pf was fine with it

[verbal frost]

anyways I gotta do this new dungeon I'm in middle of it

[verbal frost]

just bad experiences prob

not the norm

[craggy marsh]

Guy made 3 alts to harass me while setting himself to busy

Spineless twat

[verbal frost]

very weird behavior

[pale blade]

I can smell the guy as you were describing him

smells like unwashed ass

[craggy marsh]

I so badly wanna say his main character name

But witch hunting isnt allowed sadly

[pale blade]

Me too

Gamer™ Moments are a bad idea

Never succumb to your inner Gamer™

[craggy marsh]

What's funny is he tried to harass me again but this time on reddit bc of my static drama in cruiserweight

[wicked delta]

I prog skipped my bf in M6S lol

[undone tide]

what was your static drama

[craggy marsh]

The crashout with the dnc

[wicked delta]

He didn’t even clear adds but we got him to 3% in one pull

[undone tide]

who crashes out on cruiserweight

send that mf back to abyssos

[wicked delta]

It was a very funny video I fear

[pale blade]

Me, sorry

I had a Gamer™ Moment

[craggy marsh]

Tbf that static had A LOT wrong with it

[undone tide]

can you skeb halmarut

[craggy marsh]

The static lead had the ego and mentality of a fucking toddler

[pale blade]

No

Look I said that I am a FREAK and a PERVERT but at least my heart is filled with KINDNESS

[craggy marsh]

I still can't believe that the static lead thought "12 hours a day is good for midcore"

[pale blade]

(there's probably some microplastics in there)

[undone tide]

halmarut is kind

i’m sure

[craggy marsh]

What the fuck kind of freak thinks 12 hours a day for 5 days a week is "midcore"

[pale blade]

me, sorry

[undone tide]

i kind of want to make my own static for 7.5 ulti

[craggy marsh]

I'll never be a static lead bc im too nervous to have that responsibility

[wicked delta]

A friend of mine apparently knew ur static lead and his gf and was deadset on defending them lol

[pale blade]

draw them all pregnant

only the dudes though

[undone tide]

i can’t draw

[wicked delta]

I was like ok regardless of how much the DNC sucks he was a bad static lead lol

[undone tide]

realistically they’re all dudes

this is ffxiv

[pale blade]

yes

so draw them all pregnant

[craggy marsh]

Yo I know some of their friends and they all defend the shit out of them

Its crazy

[undone tide]

i’ll let tobi draw mpreg i don’t want to

[wicked delta]

Now why am I in it?

[undone tide]

you’re the only artist i know

[whole estuary]

And then draw them giving birth?

[undone tide]

and i think you’d draw mpreg

[craggy marsh]

The static lead legit has main character energy and simps like crazy for his egirl gf

[wicked delta]

Only if someone paid me…

[undone tide]

i’ve never actually seen ur art

[wicked delta]

It exists somewhere in dented lounge

A sketch I made at least

[craggy marsh]

One of these days I want to commission some new art of me and my husband's characters but I always get nervous

[wicked delta]

I saw his acc on reddit

Not a normal individual

Lmao

[craggy marsh]

Bc I've been turned away by a few artists who think a lala and non lala couple is weird

[undone tide]

i want to commission my character but no money

[craggy marsh]

[undone tide]

i’m super in love with my new glam too

i think i’m going to stick with it for a long time

[pale blade]

yeah mine too

[craggy marsh]

Of course the fuckers irl name is Anthony too. Every Anthony I've known is a douchebag

[pale blade]

I love using crafter and gatherer glams on anything

[wicked delta]

I made a new femra alt on EU yesterday so im gonna play on her a lot

[undone tide]

i haven’t taken a good front facing pose yet so this will have to do

[craggy marsh]

I will pay good money to have a nice commission of me and my husband's characters

[pale blade]

now draw her ||having a Merry Christmas||

[undone tide]

glatior santaos

[wicked delta]

Sorry for taking her shirt off

[undone tide]

hey..

[wicked delta]

Shes a lil cuuuutie

[undone tide]

[wicked delta]

[craggy marsh]

H-hey...

[undone tide]

disgust

[craggy marsh]

S-stop it

[undone tide]

you do not have the body mass to take a wave cannon to the face

[craggy marsh]

It's true....

[undone tide]

mango

pick a tank other than pld

for me

[craggy marsh]

Okay

Ill pick GNB

It's basically PLD

[undone tide]

oh i am going to suffer

idk new gnb

[craggy marsh]

ill let you be a WAR too

But not a DRK

[undone tide]

i’m already locked in

its for ex6 too

[craggy marsh]

[undone tide]

notably my gnb weapon is 755

[pale blade]

sorry that her tits are out

[valid solar]

I thought you were a bnuy

[pale blade]

at least she has pants

[valid solar]

[valid solar]

everything except her tits are out

[wicked delta]

You fucking dumbass

[valid solar]

I thought the alt was fem bnuy

[wicked delta]

https://tenor.com/view/read-gif-25879491

NEW

[valid solar]

[wicked delta]

NEW IS THE WORD

My goth bunny has existed for almost a year atp

Shes not new

[tall field]

I also picked pld for 7.4 going forward as well

[wicked delta]

Oh yeah die hard paladin main we are very surprised by this choice

[wicked delta]

[valid solar]

do you guys think its static or slide 6

[austere jay]

Hi, I'm a returning player going through patch content. I've hit a bottleneck with meeting ilvl 725 requirements. Would someone guide me on how to accomplish this without using crafted gear? (Other than a ring)

[wicked delta]

You could get tome gear I suppose

[austere jay]

Yeah that's one way to do it. Nuts vendor for ilvl 700 and then tome gear and hit 725 eventually. I don't know what the ilvl is for the last 8 man raids.

[wicked delta]

745 I think

You could also just get dungeon gear from meso

[austere jay]

Cool, appreciate your help.

[pale blade]

Gonna try to get a Doomtrain weapon tonight

At least for my main and sub jobs going into Savage

[pale blade]

Also: I like how this is basically an open secret

[undone tide]

whats an open secret

[thin fox]

actual bum

[pale blade]

my myriad commissions

[valid solar]

[shy obsidian]

how gay is this

[pale blade]

yes

[shy obsidian]

Tempted to heal but uh
I’m traumatized by Sugar Riot so I don’t wanna waste tomestones if we have to go through a hell raid once more

[valid solar]

we died on party stack tb

[jaunty pulsar]

do you use the old patch food for extreme?

or do you craft right away the new one

[thin fox]

I've just been using old food

I'll probably keep using old food until I run out

I'll use new food for savage

[jaunty pulsar]

if I didn't create an account on xivgear.app I lost all data?

I cloned the old 500 GB SSD into a 2TB one but it seems like I still lost xivgear sheets

no wait

a bug perhaps, opening a new page on my sheet worked

btw raid gear has only one slot on accessories?

[thin fox]

materia?

[pale blade]

I'm using the new food lol

[jaunty pulsar]

yep

[thin fox]

raid/tome gear has two materia slots

[pale blade]

but also I tend to be crazy prepared

[jaunty pulsar]

sorry I said it in a wrong way

I meant normal raids

[thin fox]

oh

i'm not sure

i don't own any normal raid gear to check

[jaunty pulsar]

I was considering using some since I only need the ex

[alpine plover]

the problem is that those suck

[pale blade]

Normal raid accessories have one, left side still has two

[jaunty pulsar]

they're bad for an ex prog?

[pale blade]

what no

[alpine plover]

no

but they are not rly worth it over crafted

ex prog can be done with prev tier bis

[jaunty pulsar]

I generally craft all gear but now I'd like to use some normal raid stuff xD

[pale blade]

I only use normal raid gear if I need to hit a certain skill or spell speed

sucks to be me :')

[jaunty pulsar]

when I did savage needless to say I never considered them

[jade nimbus]

Mhm, I checked the balance and it pretty much just said to use accessories at best for viper

But that would mean doing normal raids

So not gonna happen

[pale blade]

yeah playing MNK means I don't need normal mode gear

but falling back to DRG means I have to

DRG being deathly allergic to GCDs below 2.5 and all

[jaunty pulsar]

Grimm do you mean the balance says to avoid them?

[jade nimbus]

Meanwhile my Viper is like 2.10-2.12 gcd speed

[jade nimbus]

No, if you check viper longue, it says none of the normal gear is an upgrade over crafted. You can get accessories, but it isn't really needed

[pale blade]

I can be anal about skill/spell speed but that's it

feels gross to play otherwise

playing DRG below 2.5 and MNK outside of 1.94 or 1.93 is an affront to creation itself

[jade nimbus]

tbf my prob with Viper is that despite following the rotation, I always seem to not line up the 2 minutes by a few seconds

2.10 to 2.12 is mostly fine, 2.12 feels just a tiny bit sluggish

[alpine plover]

melee sucks

[jade nimbus]

true

but have you considered all jobs suck

[pale blade]

https://tenor.com/view/ffxiv-raid-physical-ranged-bard-machinist-gif-11040853317175085372

All jobs suck except for the ones I play

[alpine plover]

not playing pranged anymore

i played fru only it was enough

[thin fox]

kinda wanna tank the ex but dont know what the mit for the busters looks like

oh well how bad can it be

[alpine plover]

well

[thin fox]

nvm found a party with caster slot

[alpine plover]

let me tell you smth

my tank clicked off galvanize from my gcd healing

because he used LD

and it didn't proc

[pale blade]

have you tried strangling him

[alpine plover]

mb

[dapper zealot]

Galvanise me instead

[undone tide]

where’s the iron

they’re going to need phys defense too

[shy obsidian]

into square steel?

[rapid whale]

sneak rock

[tired egret]

And be used with eco friendly wood veneer?

[undone tide]

don’t forget the nails from his aunt

[tired egret]

That is screwed to the square steel with screws borrowed from aunt?

[rapid whale]

im not cultured enough to understand this reference but im going to pretend i do

[shy obsidian]

oh my god you need to keep up with the trends grandpa!!!

[rapid whale]

we are?

[tired egret]

https://youtube.com/shorts/1izGh371eLU?si=lh3sse3KWs0XujGp

oh wow i havent seen this one before

[wicked delta]

I watched this person’s videos so fucking much

[tired egret]

Hyperminimalist housing

[shy obsidian]

imagine how miserable it would be to live in an apartment THAT small

[wicked delta]

Some of them homes did look kinda good tho fr

[shy obsidian]

where the fuck is the legroom

[rapid whale]

i think that would be considered a crime even for a prison in some countries

ik thats the joke n all but dam

[undone tide]

the fuck are these youtube ads man

[wicked delta]

They’re fighting for their life to make this look cool

[pale blade]

Man even if you held a gun to my face I wouldn't say it looks cool

Not even Batman could beat it out of me either

[undone tide]

this is an ad for a battlefield youtuber

btw

[amber fable]

Bald man ai

[rapid whale]

bald is cool now ig

[loud nymph]

yeah but the use of shitty ai completely undoes that

[half holly]

hello chat

[kindred bison]

Was doing Doomtrain Ex yesterday and dropping a 297k misery is just something else to see

[tall field]

Soon cleave will fell cleave doomtrain

[loud nymph]

Hyosho is getting up to almost 400k you love to see it

[fierce matrix]

me when the damage on my lionheart didn't change :)

[verbal frost]

cook

[verbal frost]

that more than my perfectio whattt

did you have dp?

[kindred bison]

No lol

[verbal frost]

that might be the highest misery ever

[kindred bison]

Was just a high roll with pots, food, and pentameld

[verbal frost]

does the boss have some kind of damage down debuff

[kindred bison]

Don’t think so

[verbal frost]

hmmm

misery buff crazy tho

[kindred bison]

I did do it under full buffs with RDM, BRD, PCT, and SCH

[verbal frost]

the ideal comp for sure

[kindred bison]

SCH and BRD are crazy with WHM lol

I see so many big direct crits

[verbal frost]

I like having those jobs on nuke jobs like ninja and rpr

mnk also

[kindred bison]

Misery just being a big fast number is so damn good

[verbal frost]

ye and now you get extra use

[kindred bison]

Also I saw a 237k crit yesterday too

[verbal frost]

WHM will be on a tear for m10s in the right situation

[kindred bison]

Not even a direct crit

[verbal frost]

ngl the fact white mage hasn't had a aoe nerf the whole expansion is kinda wild

[kindred bison]

I need to get a sage weapon

Cause my god do I wanna see these numbers

[verbal frost]

did sage get buff?

[kindred bison]

Nah

Just using WHM cause I got the crafted wep for it

[amber fable]

Sage got buff

5 potency on dot

[verbal frost]

I just checked the logs for new extreme

white mage is putting up numbers yo lmao

[amber fable]

Good thing

[verbal frost]

new best pf healer

[amber fable]

Whm deal was always doing more damage

[kindred bison]

White Mage is literally just “I am the DPS.”

[verbal frost]

WHM finally gonna be a legit adps job since if I remember before

the burst wasn't even that much better than astro one

but now with opener misery will be very good I think

[amber fable]

More than damage the mit parity

[verbal frost]

that should be the identity honestly

pure heal & pure dmg

[amber fable]

Even if lily didnt got buff , the mit change alone

Was good

[kindred bison]

Wait does the lvl 70 skill now give mitigation?

[verbal frost]

only WHM change I would make atp is making PoM + Glare 4 a 60s cd but idk what actual white mage mains would think abt that

just for the sake of making rotations move active

[amber fable]

The indulngence give 10% mit now

[verbal frost]

plenary

the bonus heal effect

[kindred bison]

Oh shit

[verbal frost]

confession now gives 10% mit for 10s

[kindred bison]

I was using it for the healing effect alone

[amber fable]

Ast parity

[verbal frost]

so u pop plenary right before a raidwide or something

[amber fable]

At last

[verbal frost]

and then u get like 2-3 gcd of bonus heal on rapture after

[kindred bison]

I was looking at it and was like “I don’t remember this being this fucking good.”

[wicked delta]

thats the most optimal way to use it iirc

[kindred bison]

Cause 60s cooldown and the mit

[verbal frost]

it's a good change ngl but like ppl were saying if they just gave WHM a new button would be the safe effect

[kindred bison]

Last time I really played WHM was InnoEx

[wicked delta]

im still trying to get used to the 3 free lilies at the start its a bit

[verbal frost]

WHM will actually be busted

especially in the new ulti I imagine

[amber fable]

Dps is dps

[verbal frost]

even with the buff on glare and misery

which will add up ALOT

the opener misery will do work also

[kindred bison]

Glare IV dropping 130k direct crits is awesome btw

[verbal frost]

glare 4 is goated addition

[kindred bison]

I actually was 3rd in aggro cause I crit like my entire opener

[verbal frost]

I just want sage to get some love now that's all I rlly want for healers until 8.0

[tall field]

Only thing i worry is GNB change was Xeno's idea

[verbal frost]

make like Psyche 2 stacks or something

I don't know honestly

[tall field]

Which means does SE listen to him

And accordingly change tanks

Yes he is invited to media tours and all

[kindred bison]

Give us Eukrasia for the damn beam

[wicked delta]

oh my god bruh

[verbal frost]

what that move called

[wicked delta]

his opinion singlehandly doesnt make tank changes

[verbal frost]

that might be a good idea ngl

[amber fable]

I forgot the move

[verbal frost]

but might be busted

but spreadlo exists anyways so who cares

[amber fable]

The heal beam

[tall field]

Who had the bf 1min before?

[verbal frost]

ye the like

900 potency aoe heal

[tall field]

He said it in a stream

[daring pine]

pneuma?

[verbal frost]

yo that's actually a good idea

ngl

I would like to see it

[wicked delta]

people have found gunbreaker "difficult" for as long as it has existed lol

[kindred bison]

Yeah

[verbal frost]

like u can opt to make it

half heal half shield

[kindred bison]

Eukrasian Pneuma

[verbal frost]

like the other move

[amber fable]

Gf gettinf 2 charge is good

[verbal frost]

they should add that

and u won't lose dps

[amber fable]

The cart overcap shit was w/e

[verbal frost]

ngl they should lean more into the whole eukarsian thing in general

what they did with the aoe dot in dt was good

[kindred bison]

Cost a GCD to do different things with the skills

But at a more effective rate

[amber fable]

Dark arts heal

[daring pine]

euk pneuma would basically be spreadlo

[amber fable]

[verbal frost]

they would prob have to adjust euk pneuma potency tho

if they don't want to make it a dps loss

[kindred bison]

And if you run Sage in a group

You don’t get spreadlo

[verbal frost]

since is that like

1s + 2.5s

[amber fable]

1+1.5

[verbal frost]

ye or they can do that

u can still weave 1

[kindred bison]

Or give mitigation to pneuma itself

[verbal frost]

euk pneuma prepull gas

that would basically be spreadlo no?

[kindred bison]

Right now it’s more of a “Fuck it we heal Now.” Button

[verbal frost]

ye

[amber fable]

Shield of 50% heal potency

[verbal frost]

ppl be using pneuma more for the 2+ gain than the heal

[amber fable]

Well it does damage too

[kindred bison]

SGE heals are generally pretty low potency as a trade off for bigger shields themselves

I dropped a 108k cure 2 on a tank

[verbal frost]

SGE just needs love

I hope they consider like 2 psyche stacks as a temporary chnge for 7.5

and then rework it a lot 8.0

b/c like ppl say SGE and SCH way more similar than WHM and AST

[kindred bison]

Casting and seeing 20k for aoe shield

Feels pretty bad

[verbal frost]

now that I think about it 2 gluttony charges could be peak on rpr

[wicked delta]

oh sweet neptune

[verbal frost]

no more drifting gluttony

GMs got you?

[wicked delta]

no prolly just account wide mounts n shit lol

yup

[kindred bison]

I get like

40 mail when I make a new character

Probably 50

Cause all the account wide shit

It fills over half my inventory

[wicked delta]

i made a new femra yesterday and now i realize what its like to be poor

honestly id get a job skip for black mage but idk how to play that shit!

[amber fable]

Press blizz to win

[undone tide]

has literally anyone not had the snap sfx go off

i thought i actually missed it

[kindred bison]

Wow that just literally didn’t exist there

[forest frost]

I haven't had that happen but I have had it to where the crackle during Revelation didn't go off and I just stood to my death

[kindred bison]

I know I had one pull where it just didn’t do the animation but the sound played

[valid solar]

yeah biscuit was telling me the sound cues in the fight break sometimes

same thing can happen in intermission also

[forest frost]

I did have 4 puffs instead of 3 happen during that phase. Threw me off so bad

[kind elm]

ive had this in m6s with the sound of the buddies/stack marker

ithink it happens when theres too many sounds playing and some of them just override another or something

[kindred bison]

The 4th puff of smoke sometimes actually happens

Instead of the common 3

[undone tide]

it’s the fucking bard man…

[forest frost]

I thought we unlocked some secret third mechanic ngl

[undone tide]

giving me too many buffs

[kindred bison]

All the sound slots fill up in turn

Also is it just me or does the p.ranged always end up murdering the healer

[zealous meteor]

...the intermission in normal mode seems harder than extreme

like it's not really

but the tankbuster aoe constantly being visible makes it seem harder

[kindred bison]

Yeah lol

It just makes it more panic inducing

[zealous meteor]

it took me two loops to realise that it's like extreme and i get a few seconds to move out of the tankbuster once the train stops

[jagged aspen]

were saved?

[valid solar]

me personally I was saved like 2 hours after patch

[valid solar]

yes

[kindred bison]

Perfect Alexander is always peak

[rain geode]

I've had arcane rev not go off before but snaps have always been fine for me

[pale blade]

I dunno man I personally cheered over the return of NoPolice

[zealous meteor]

perfect alexander didn't come out until 2019

proud of him though

[kindred bison]

[jagged aspen]

the original one wasnt perfect enough?

[zealous meteor]

he wasn't called perfect alexander

[undone tide]

i’m just now realizing this shield is half her height

[kind elm]

this is why alexander is the best antagonist

[jagged aspen]

its also rectangular

[undone tide]

and that is a problem?

most shields are rectangular

[zealous meteor]

to be fair your shield should probably cover most of your body

[jagged aspen]

easy fix, become lala

[zealous meteor]

not a very effective shield if the enemy can just aim a few inches down and hit you in the guts

[jagged aspen]

you know you can move it

[zealous meteor]

this is always the best solution

[random needle]

static intermission is great if you arent phys ranged or caster

[verbal frost]

it's actually not bad for pulling stuff

I'd rather have it then not have it

it just shouldn't cost any mp

[sick reef]

think i found it

[sly basin]

ohhh ya those arent in anamnesis yet rip

those look cool af tho

[remote gate]

one of these days ill commit to cosmic

for ease of progression is it better to do things on the phanea planet and do it first as a crafter or gatherer?

[sick reef]

doh is always easier imo

i still havent done dol cuz of how annoying it is

[remote gate]

and does it matter if I do it on phanea or moon

[pale blade]

You have to do the first stages on Sinus Ardorum first

The second stages introduced in 7.31 should be done in Phaenna if I'm not mistaken

Someone correct me if I'm wrong

[zealous meteor]

you can do all the stages on phaenna

[sick reef]

4 fkn days of ddos is crazy

im not crafting tho, my crafters are not geared lol

im talking about glam

[remote gate]

would you be interested in joining our doomtrain prog tonight

we need a shield healer

[sly basin]

OHH

yeah im doing that

[zealous meteor]

what time

[remote gate]

and we are casual as fuck you dont have to worry about anyone ripping on you

6pm est

[zealous meteor]

yea sure

[remote gate]

cool check dms in just a minute

[zealous meteor]

[thin fox]

its literally no worse for caster what do you mean

you're already running out to the edge for spread either way

and prange is also already moving towards the train

[loud nymph]

I think the idea is you have to actually pay attention as prange/caster

but not as anyone else

[thin fox]

i mean

its the same

thing?

but its even easier because you dont have to adjust around the healer

you just hug the edge and win

[loud nymph]

but as prange/caster you have to pay attention to twothings (stack/spread and where is the small train) vs melee/healer you only have to pay attention to stack/spread

is paying attention to two things hard? lol no

but that's what they are saying

[mortal flower]

^

Set the bar for PF randoms super low

If there's any personal responsibility it's hard

If there is none and I can follow a danger dorito it's easy

[valid solar]

caster on slide 6 only has to adjust for train, doesnt need to move for stack or spread

if the caster takes lp1 that is

[thin fox]

ok well caster is basically always lp2

[valid solar]

when im on prange I let my caster take lp1 to make intermission simpler for them

[thin fox]

i hate the r1 spot for intermission

because its a tighter spot to spread

[valid solar]

why

[thin fox]

r2 spot has infinitely more room

[valid solar]

but you only need to take like two steps forward for spread and you wont hit melee

[random needle]

I need to check but I remember seeing someone somewhere mention that the wall is not fatal in intermission for once

[thin fox]

you trust melees

good one

[valid solar]

[thin fox]

i'll take my chances at the edge

[random needle]

So you can just kiss the wall for max distance?

[sly basin]

i saw that as well

[thin fox]

every intermission death i see

is from melees

[zealous meteor]

it is indeed not a death wall

[thin fox]

yueah theres no death wall

you can walk directly into the edge

[valid solar]

for me its usually a tank who gapcloses too soon and just cleaves the party with the tb

[zealous meteor]

hug the wall tighter than a trans girl hugging a blahaj

[valid solar]

[zealous meteor]

it's fine

[thin fox]

i've seen this in normal but not ex

[sly basin]

since no plogon i now have to see shout ads again

[zealous meteor]

[valid solar]

I got shared this

[loud nymph]

you're just gonna show the image and not the share code? smh my head

[valid solar]

ill put it in a pastebin so the link is shorter

https://pastebin.com/TREGLiDu

I still find it hilarious they actually just encode the entire board in the text string

[zealous meteor]

im glad they do

[worldly grotto]

Doomtrain my beloved

[thin fox]

I mean its either that or they have to store every board serverside

[valid solar]

oh dont get me wrong, I totally get that the benefit of doing it this way is that the codes will last forever without an expiry, I just think its funny

what do you guys think of jp's arcane strat

[random needle]

... what?

[valid solar]

im guessing static but ranged takes healers static spots ?

so dps static

[random needle]

I guess, but that seems unnecessary

[timber stratus]

that sounds so fucking goofy

yeah we are doing static but actually someone is moving

[valid solar]

well yeah thats how normal static works

[random needle]

I mean, someone has to move

[valid solar]

only healers and melee are static

in this version, all dps are static

[timber stratus]

okay so its just really dumb strat naming again

[valid solar]

p much

[random needle]

But like, if anyone should move, it'd be the ranged, the healers should be central so they can heal people

[timber stratus]

the ff community interest me on like a bug level

u know how its interesting to look at ants do their things

[mossy eagle]

DPS will do anything except do a mechanic

[boreal pumice]

Mechanics are for cars

[mossy eagle]

Hey I have a great boss for u

It's outside my house

No mechanics

[valid solar]

the legendary tank dd strat

[valid solar]

I still am in awe this is actually a thing someone thought up of and was like "yeah this is a good strat"

[pale blade]

PF brainlets never cease to amaze me

[loud nymph]

what the fuck lmao

[timber stratus]

i remember i got death threats for refusing to do this in a pf back then

[mossy eagle]

It's funny because I said multiple times in PF that another DPS could take my tank spot for that mechanic if they wanted to do braindead dd, and for some reason they never took me up on that offer

[timber stratus]

actually insane

[valid solar]

[pale blade]

could be worse, could be getting death threats over children's games

[mossy eagle]

What is FFXIV if not an easy game for babies

[pale blade]

nah but like

[valid solar]

so I just found apparently the jp strat for arcane revelation is having a 2/6 tanks/party stack in a static spot, and just mit/heal through the hits with tank lb if necessary

[pale blade]

I have unironically gotten death threats over Pokemon of all things

[valid solar]

though I feel like if you're a healer or a tank its probably harder than doing it normally

[pale blade]

I wish I were kidding about this

[timber stratus]

some people should not be allowed internet connection

[pale blade]

Indeed

[undone tide]

some people in this server, even

[undone tide]

i highly doubt that’s actually popularized on JP, “JP strat” is kinda just another way of saying “Braindead” because some people worship JP PF

Guys. Mega Scissors is really ruining the meta of Rock but you have to flip a coin if you want to hit them. Paper was good until they nerfed Paper's Laser Beam. Maybe they could bring back Paper but it extends the fight 20 turns

Oh, this is a situation I was not prepared for. Lemme consult the type chart. Hmm...

I think I need to play... rock.

Phew that was close guys

[remote gate]

can we nerf paper? it can be deployed instantly unlike rock or scissors which takes like 5 more frames to use unlike paper

[mortal flower]

Listen buddy. I was using Rock with optional typing into Dynamite just fine for my competitive run. It's just your fault you hadn't trained your rock exactly 172 times to maximize it's bulk.

I need to find that clip of alpha Tinkaton erasing a Gardevoir in a single hit, literally wiping it from existence.

[clear plume]

The key is to never engage with smogon frfr

[pale blade]

I still have that one tweet of that guy blowing his chance with a girl because he went on a monologue about how Blacephalon was his favorite Pokemon competitively

The girl said her favorite was Eevee

[mortal flower]

Bro it's BST is traaaaash

[pale blade]

okay here we go

[mortal flower]

How can such a stupid bitch like a low BST mon like that

[pale blade]

This Eevee was also a thing

[clear plume]

Ever since they decided baton pass in Gen 4 had to be banned because it has “zero counterplay” (forced switch moves and haze exist btw, and it never had a large meta share) it was clear that smogon was rotten to the core…

[mortal flower]

It doesn't even have an answer to trick room

What a dumbass

[remote gate]

at least he didnt say vaporeon if he did it she would have left immediately

server pfp I need the narita

[tired egret]

Haze is not on every good pokémon

And since Gen 3 there are abilities that can ignore certain switching moves

And also this issue gets even worse every gen

[clear plume]

That’s like saying rapid spin isn’t on every good Pokémon so stealth rocks has no counterplay

[pale blade]

artist is wolfdetergent

[tired egret]

In gen 3, the only OU haze user was fucking Gengar

[remote gate]

thank you

[tired egret]

With a bunch of other UUBL mons being the only other "usable" options for it

At least Rapid Spin's distribution was on far better pokémon

[clear plume]

Zero counterplay (I don’t want to use a mon that counters it)

[tired egret]

Because most of the mons that could counterplay it, can be countered by better mons

[pale blade]

do you have any counterplay for me throwing your Switch across the fucking room

[jolly flume]

no

[tired egret]

Yes, it's called breaking your arms

It's like how people would just mit through bloom 6 in Zelenia I guess, except this mechanic actually hurts

today i learned that dancing green x honey b lovely is a ship

[pale blade]

Vamp Fatale x Honey B. Lovely

hire me SE

[undone tide]

also seen it and given vamp’s lyrics i’d say its likely

some very toxic yuri

[random needle]

Going off post-m12 dialogue, Vamp definitely wants it

[undone tide]

uhm

i did not mean to make these two the exact same

[rain geode]

I mean people will ship anything

[pale blade]

well

yeah

but Vamp x Honey is toxic yuri so it’ll work out

[rain geode]

Theres at least one line of dialogue that involves one of them talking about the other

[pale blade]

yeah they hate each other or something

[robust shoal]

vamp's dialogue if you talk to her in her apartment is unhinged

[valid solar]

they have a rivalry because they both fill the same niche of "dangerous girl with obsessed fans"

[sly basin]

Oh wait I was thinking on letter over on the keyboard and one number higher

[valid solar]

actually I think I give them to my crafter friend because she made me a set of gear for free on a 5 minute notice

[worldly grotto]

Look at it this way, the tomestone mats will never be more profitable than they are now, but the relics will be purchaseable with poetics in 8.0

[whole estuary]

Maybe the BEES get into Honey B's head but the bat just makes Vamp worse

[valid solar]

first she teases you for entering her apartment without knocking and then she talks about domming honey B lovely

[rain geode]

That is some dangerous information that makes feel things

[sick dirge]

[valid solar]

this is true, btw I know the people on the pf who buy tomes are buying for lower than marketboard price but how much lower is it actually

[sly basin]

relic relic relic relic

[valid solar]

since im on seraph if its not a huge difference I think id rather go with the guaranteed sale from pf

[rain geode]

I mean is the relic actually useful anywhere rn?

[valid solar]

nope

[rapid whale]

dont think so

[valid solar]

replaced by EX6 weapon and crafted

next step should be just a little lower than savage I think

and then the step after that will be better than savage

[zealous meteor]

next step will be 775 afaik

then last step is 795 but with higher substats than savage

[valid solar]

idk if final step will be better than ultimate because we've never had a third tier ult before

[rain geode]

It'll at least be bis for progging it

They should have given the relic weapon some OC bonus stats

[worldly grotto]

https://tenor.com/view/meu-gif-27420939

It is so cruel to tease like that

[whole estuary]

I wonder if Eutrope will still fight with Electrope, just unhonsed

[rain geode]

It does seem a little but unfair. Like bringing a gun to the ring.

I'm certain that's been a WWE skit before prob

[rain geode]

Then again the blowjob Brothers double team us so I guess it's not like the rules matter

[worldly grotto]

Speaking of

wat

[valid solar]

Something interesting about that, so in 1st tier with brute bomber, he supposedly also breaks rules by doping, but later we find out it's pretend and it's just water in the potion

[zealous meteor]

it's fake

[worldly grotto]

Fuck

[valid solar]

I thought that was pretty cool because it actually means he's just holding back in the fight and stops holding back after "doping"

[robust shoal]

I like how universally people call them the Blowjob Brothers

[worldly grotto]

So you're saying they CAN be referred to as that?

[robust shoal]

even on xivd

I've seen like one person actually call them the Xtremes

“Hi guys! Welcome to a Hector Lecture guide to the fight M9S for Vamp Fatale. Just as a reminder, Vamp isn’t for vampire, it’s because she’s bisexual.”

[rapid whale]

is that what it means

[dapper zealot]

According to Kojima

Yes

[pale blade]

I mean

The femme fatale character archetype is sometimes called a vamp

[pale blade]

Vamp was originally designed as a woman and it somehow still managed to work

cool mechanic

apparently the big train has a visual cue or something?

[valid solar]

yeah the big train also puffs out the smoke in addition to the sfx

so you can look and count as well

[verbal frost]

if so then that static mechanic is way better

who would want to loook at both trains

[valid solar]

but most people go by audio so they can watch the small train

[verbal frost]

which mechanic is popular in pf?

the static one seems objectively better no?

[low hearth]

Probably

[valid solar]

it is better if the static people will look at big train to clarify in chat if its stack/spread because sometimes the audio bugs out

but the chances of that happening in pf is slim

ima run this shit back

the ddos just disband the pf

[rain geode]

For static intermission? I believe R1 has the most annoying time with it.

[clear plume]

Both have the same role

It’s mainly cart 2 and 7 spread stacks that can be different between the two roles

[rapid whale]

i just kill team mates and blame them even tho its my fault

[random needle]

R1 runs directly towards the train but has slightly less wiggle room, R2 runs directly away and has more leeway left and right

[shy obsidian]

wait why is it still selling for this much

[rapid whale]

supply and demand ig

[clear plume]

Bc nobody else has put it up for a fair price
