Actually how I feel now that I can't raid on Tuesday
it just kinda happened
Omega casual now
I stopped feeling new when I cleared p8s
Yeah after my second tier I stopped feeling new
I still feel Hella new
I think I still felt new until lhw I guess
even though at that point you probably couldn't consider me that
First tier: "the fuck is going on?"
Second tier: "I think I know more than these people."
Third tier and onward: "just put the clear in the bag."
brother u had cleared every ultimate by that point already

yea it wasnt until i finished top/dsr that i was like, "i guess i can't call ymself new anymore"
infact it was noble that said that to me

yeah but I hadnt done anything on content yet although thats not like yknow, magically making content 5x harder
idk just perception thing
"Im new Ive only cleared TOP and DSR on healer
"
health?
its like drinking. Should I be doing it? no. But is it fun? yes
what you playing this tier?
Like drinking I don't do it very often but I always over do it when I do
pure eeler
just call me a slur
CHIYO HAS FALLEN
I mean it's WHM potentially better then AST with the buffs?
no
lmao after ALL that fucking hate
not a chance in prog
he falls
I'm playing ast
skill issue
I guess turbo buffing a funneled Sam is a lot
whm personal will never matter until everyone is bis
Thays why it's like always dancer right?
pretty much yeah
you get one dps with all the gear and everyone else's job is just to suck their toes
yea its abt multiplying the value of the gear u get
BRD buffs will make it competitive atleast this tier
but DNC is still gonna be goat most likely
Not that I have much pwwr to control that until since I'm doing my first tier in the insane asylum known as pf
ast will absolutely still gap it in prog
PF isn't too bad if you do it right
you're gonna get good macro use in charybdistopia in m11 
I think whm is probably pretty viable for everything short of speedkills now
I should probably figure out exactly what I'm gonna play since it's in like a week
as someone who exclusively raids in pf, the #1 and #2 skill you need is knowledge on when to abandon a party and when to prog lie
the GOLDEN RULE of prog lying
it is only bad to prog lie when you get caught

ive said it once ill say it a million times, I'd rather have had the mit on a button that wasn't plenary but mit is mit
like my friend who is getting into raiding this tier
Lmao
her problem is that she doesn't know when to just give up on a party lol
also it feels kinda weird having CU hold not perma extend your mit anymore lol
this is every newbies problem
they still have too much hope and belief in other people
its also hard to know when the mistakes are enough to not be worth
because there are cases where its hard to tell "is this a party that can actually clear and they just need to clean a few things"
if you run your own pfs its also valuable to know when to kick people
because sometimes you'll have like 6 or 7 people who are good and then 1 or 2 people who are just dragging everything down, but you don't wanna disband and lose the others over it
Benefit to pf tho is I get to roll on loot >:3
its still a gamble
you're pretty much guaranteed bis in a hc static by w4 or w5 anyways
ESPECIALLY with tome upgrades that shit is beyond cancer
like if youre a tank or a healer in static you are the lowest prio for gear but at least its guaranteed
if your pf luck is bad you just have to wait
for much longer
better than pitying a weapon with 8 books
Tome weapon is higher then ex I kinda forget that
what if i get caught on a job idk how to play
like warrior


how do i hit holmgang
no you know what's meta stah
play caster and accidentally click off your caster lb in dsr


lately we
have just been not lbing meteors
and we fail it surprisingly often
I open the log
and theres a dps doing less damage to the meteors than me on scholar
š
this is legit my fav clip in this game i think
ššš
Oh my god
Controller can't do that - not easily, anyway
Though you also have to keep your bars unlocked for that, so
LMAOOOOOO
drop it right in the middle of the cardinal waymarks
and tbh even if you miss 1 it doesnt matter
guys is WHM good.
is chiyo's whm good tho
thats the real question
the class is very hard
I don't know how it's possible to be bad at white mage
but some people sure manage it
[jigsaw voice] i wanna play a game. to escape this trap, you must do 100 clears of TOP and the healers are only people who cleared via saus groups.
the shin bye comment is my favorite of all time
"stop making white magician look difficult"
while I think WHM is still worse than AST
it's at least close enough to be a conversation
I find it harder to play then SGE
I've always thought sage was the easiest healer personally but either way they're kinda both piss lol
white mage is simpler, but sage you can just faceroll the keyboard and each one of your buttons just does more
Although a lot of that has to come from toxikon giving me free movement
sage has a lot of movement but it's inversely proportional to how much you optimize
that depends on how much you care to do so but at the end of the day you can wind up with 3 toxikons per fight and 1 phlegma every odd minute
Double dot the bros
I was planning to samurai for this tier but hmm
Maybe I should try somethin else
DP (Double proc) the bros
just crit midare bozo
Being in a static must be so nice
It seems like there pros and cons
what roles you play
crit harder
Like I've surprisingly gotten a few static invites and like they all wanted to do like 4-8 hours a week and I wanna run a lot more then that
add critical boast from monster hunter to final fantasy xiv
my problem is that I want to raid more than midcore/casual but I don't think I can commit to hardcore times lol
for ulti my sweet spot is like 4h x 3-4 days
i wanna raid more than 8 hours a week but getting a group of eight people in a team to meet up multiple times a week is challenging
for savage I'd probably wanna do like 8x5
play kiriko for triple headshot damage
you're just in the awkward spot where you want to do more dedicated hours without the experience that most groups running those hours want
it sucks but it is what it is, make the best of your first tier and then you'll probably have better luck
If I gotta clear in pf I'll clear in pf
Those are some crazy hours already
Full time job raider
I think like 5 on weekdays 10-12 weekends isnt too bad
its one week, if you can't put a week of evenings aside to clear w1 then just don't clear w1 idk
not like its worth anything
Thats still like a bit less then I want to run but if a static approached me with those numbers I'd probably accept
yea its just with that kinda hours they generally want at least some kind of history
since thats a big commitment
for all they know you end up hating savage and dont wanna do it etc
you get bis faster so you can finish your expert roulette 30 seconds faster 
joke's on you you'll still have a viper that does less damage than the healer

it's the cleave nerfs i swear
cosmetic
80%
like what the fuck son
that's 5 more percent per cleave 
just remove the job atp
eats the job stone
That cleave nerf was definitely only tuned to the blackjack brothers and they forgot about dungeons
my idea is that savage is generally easier to get through so I'd wanna do more hours to get it over with in fewer weeks
even then
Alright Im offically home from work Do I want to level a job, Do OC or run some train ex
itās still excessive for cleave focused fights
whereas I know ultimate is a commitment either way so I'd rather do it over a long period of time
you arenāt doing damage
vprās strength is 100 gauge smuggle p5
omegalul it's even under ninja in p4 now
lets c p5
nothing much changed ig single target its no diff
Pictomancer, astrologian, gunbreaker, dancer⦠and iām learning how to samurai
what's steering you away from sam when you wanted to @shy obsidian
Iām slowly getting used to the rotation but Iām a bit worried that I wonāt be able to grasp it by the time the savage drops
have you tried watching
a wesk alber video 
i mean
whats your metric for grasped it
if its like pink on ex train yea maybe not by then but like
ppl play for years on the job and never reach that level so
Nah nah I understand how sammy works and I can comprehend the optimization but itās definitely a teensy bit challenging to comprehend
tengentsumaxxing
no i hate you
no fuck you
im CRYING
okie
im bored i join
Me when I accidentally tendo setsugakka outside of buffs
I actually need maths lmao so sure
I mean I can be
hop on over
wrong! congestion
WRONG! Im transfering just fine rn
huh
6767
or 67 if a password can be less than 4 characters
at some point i think you kinda have to
idk i donāt know sam opti
i just know you need to meikyo off cd
or at least not cap stacks
So I woke up and the first thing I noticed was that Cooly lost his cooly and got a one-way ticket out of here
Peas at last
Is it just like prestige or something
i missed it what happened

Dang what happened
Trust me it requires a bit more thinking as it relies on you uhhh
Timing higanbanas or sonething
the last message i can find is them saying arcane rev cheese is good
maybe they got banned for that 
on the one hand i don't think people should be banned for opinions*
*: bigotry is not an opinion
on the other hand i think that AR cheese enjoyers deserve to be yeeted
lol I wish that were the reason
but the most likely one was that he threw another fit over not being able to post 7.4 story details outside the provided thread
it's not that hard to not post about the story for 2 weeks
i saw someone make a 999ilvl PF saying āif you donāt like cheese just admit you donāt know how to mitā
sir this is an extreme why are we making PSAs about this
just do the mechanic
anything to feel superior to internet strangers
if you don't like normal just admit you don't know how to dodge aoe
lol?
itās always like an extreme or first floor where people argue about dumb stuff in PF descriptions
think Iām gonna give train a go tomorrow, time to study hector then learn different strats
honestly the only thing thats worth learning (imo) that isnt in the hector vid is static
Still best to learn it all or have a basic idea
to make people like you pvp
Youāll do pvpslop and youāll like it
me wandering around lost in FL then bumping into someone fighting a 1v1 and they thank me for saving them
does the roulettes bit only count the first daily or what
Yes
yeah first daily
Ok I need 23 more train clears
On daily theirs 2 type of exp displayed unless your lvling something gc pvp and series pvp
I havent played a single pvp match since dt
so idek how to play the jobs anymore lol
Play whm
Brd is still goated
Not that they need to learn since itās 5 series for emote
play mch
Because you won't?
Hop on Paladin bro
Ts is busted
Paladin pvp cover when my machinist party member is getting jumped by 4 people
equip the bravery pvp ability > use bravery before tools > use bravery before lb
Every tank in FL needs to be brought to the Hague I think
Sooo how stressful is the train as a melee
Easy
It depends are you the type of melee who freak out losing 1 GCD of up time even if it doesnt really matter?
Doesnāt it feel weird getting close to the edges of the raised platforms just to do damage?
lol I suck
not really since the AOE is telegraphed for arcane rev
did you get any suplex kills chiyo
Yeah, the AV safe zone is pretty clear, so greeding the safe spot isn't much different from any other aoe
Light work
gonna join a farm party as WHM what could go wrong
everything
Has only done the fight as H2
Safe spot only available to cool people
lets go seeing live use
P6S 
cachexia gaming
Chex Mix gaming
hey I didnt turbo troll this time
right
monk is p fun idk
I just punch people and press RP before phantom rush and sometimes press LB on someone I want to have a bad day
@trim frost you playint this season
go 4 mount
all I need is book
havenāt yet but prob soon
tryna see if i can get uwu done before savage drop
*i hate uwu parties /j
he has a mini guide follow up about it iirc
drat that part was functional enough and we disbanded
I wish farm party leaded would hit us with a "Im leaving anyone else want lead"
face 2?
femra
oh like your making a new char
no I'm just staring down the fantasia in my inv
need to go raen too
4 extra starting mind...
dude that like actually a lot early game
well RIP to the one Reaper main here
i just fantasiaed to light colored eyes but then saw a char with dark colored eyes and now iām about to spend another $7
Honestly my big thing was there just wasnt a comfortable place to put gallows gibbet and guilottine on my hot bar
i put gallows and gibbet the same spot as gekko/kasha
Oohh I was actually just in uwu
Reached Ifrit after dashes but died to enrage from a couple people dying
Hoping to beat it before the 4th and if not at least by my bday
Anxious af about Titan
Same but also I simply dont have those buttons on great spots either lmao
My big problem is since I started on WAR I try and keep my hot bar as similar as possible to WAR which is mostly fine except for a handful of the DPS
this is what i do
does tempest BLU leveling method work for normal jobs
shift+1 is yuki on SAM
does BLU get an exp bonus for overworld mobs?
BLU gets vastly more exp from overworld mobs
BLU gets a disproportionate XP boost from overworld mobs, this is why it works for them
f
I just wish there was more granular control on the face scales
there's some I wanna toggle off and some I want on but all you get is big chunks with no options
this is missing a lot of buttons isnt it?
A or B 
i think B
that's just the number buttons
i put most oGCDs on letters
I prefer the hair of A
yeah i'm gonna keep that hair
so like for example this is my entire RPR hotbar
it's mostly the light eyes idk if they work
I like both eye choices tbh, could do one eye black one eye pink :D
I was thinking of doing two eye colors for my cat but I decided to make her eyes the same color as my own
C
a
B
I do like colored eyes usually though but I feel like they need limbal rings
big limbal ring fan
I personally donāt use limbal rings
considered them at times but always decided against it
let me equip contact lenses to the glasses slot for different colors
yeah im seeing like 50/50 2:6 vs normal Trains so you can for now at least still find normal parties
you can in fact skip hc1 in p8s btw
What ilvl needed
luckily i haven't had to join any AR cheese parties
770 with extreme weapon is what we have
killed twice pre hc1/halfway through dog 1 for p1
Snake 1? Just mit check snake ig right?
youd want to do it correctly but as long as one person lives yuoure fine
so do a tank invuln at worst as long as they dont get petrified
I see
Since the tank melees flex idk how much time we have to flex
i'll go with this for now 
cute!
cutie
this new hairstyle is bis
I dont know if I could give up my long hair but seeing all the people with it tempts me
I love femras...
I got the other new one
(also kill whoever made these ribbons sit like an inch off your head)
Femras are pretty good I was slightly considering one myself before I settled on a cat
its so joever i cant find a party thats NOT cheesing
send pipe bombs
Really I saw a few parties a little bit ago when I was on aether
Tanks use LB pls-them
easy fix with blender
I mean we out ilvled necron right?
was probably the same guy that made the facewear glasses float 10cm off viera noses
Sooo ye lets eat vulns
pls
theres only 10 trains? I guess it is getting late
necron was a joke even with whatever we had last patch
I m surprised MM2 skip didnt take the forefront
Now that the whole.ilvl carrying thing
For cheese its
Tank aoe mits+all reprisal/feint/addle+ tank LB2 if non tanks about to take a 2nd vuln
welp time to go see this cheese bs
i see
surely this doesnt go wrong
Just gotta know when to tank lb ye
I guess femra faces have similar enough noses so it doesnt have to be that extreme
viera has one face that has a big nose, so the glasses are probably positioned for that
If tanks gonna take a 2nd vuln ideally burn ur 40%? On it
But for the most part AR should only hit u max 2 times
I havent seen beyond 2
Since the 3rd ends up being both North side safe
@worn bluff 
Only way i see all 3 times hit is imo 322/323
that fantasia is whispering into my ear...
cute!
i'll go back to purple hair when it's time to level BLM and make a fern glam
oh my goodness she's so pretty
I like the lighter green for the eyes makes me think of my cats dark green eyes
Ive been really comingg around on green recently
brown hair green eyes is something I've done before but I was in my blue era for like the last year
ok I think I'm fucking sold
Makes sense I style her after myself same hair/eye color
the ears arent on me for real as yuou probably guessed
wait the cloth of legend set is kind of cute

nothing a quick commission couldn't solve
commision irl me with cat ears, now theres a funny idea
that being said I think id that point Id just get a commision of T'ew since shes a lot cuter then me anyway
I was more thinking commission cat ears to actually wear irl, but that works too
Oh like I did used to have these pick catearmuffs that were pretty cute
$13 on amazon for a 4 pack don't ask me how I know
Ive spent more for sillier stuff so I can't pretend like I wouldnt
Its not like I dont own a maid dress
Melee uptime
Ah
that being said I wouldnt go as far as to call it a good reason
its all fun and games until you lose a run to 2x N 1xE or 1xN 2xE

how expensive could it possibly be
my crafting gear is one tier out of date. have to see if i can make this stuff
oh i guess it's easy to NQ
Scrip it
i should probably do that at some point
ffs winning roll was 70 š
I've only seen wings once in 35 ish runs? And only seen wings in any ex like 4x in 200+... I do have to go back and farm... my static might once we all have savage bis.
ex4 is gonna be awful
imma do my 100 slave runs and buy it
first i need 100 totems for train n necron
is that halmarutās hair
tomahawk
Not even
Dont you miss at least one GCD with north
And even if you cant, almost every melee has something thats a neutral
graha needed to find a job
All tanks are 2.5 or 2.45 so its fine for them. MNK has six sided, ninja has raiton, viper has coils, reaper has harvest moon
Dragoon runs 2.5 so it doesnt matter
If you cant keep uptime thats a skill issue not a strat issue
Man I have been doing consistent bd parties now
They on average gets me more clear than non bd
So far Iāve seen wings 4 or 5 times in 33 clears, trash rolls on all of them tho
Probably its more so that I joined bd more often
Man I am already getting bored of doom train and I only got 20 totems
Time to shelve it till end of expac
need to start running it properly but not got a static
itās fun to see the first time but not much replay value
PF here i come š«”
my ass casually burning 10+ million gil to get my crafters up to date because I took a break and I'm now paying for it:
i don't craft enough to make it worth catching up
i'm just going to sell tome mats and buy pots/food
I have a money making method that MORE than covers for this but it's gonna take me D A Y S to complete.
Over a week and a half to make the money back and I may as well keep that up for about 2 months to get about 100m because the money is THAT good and the method is something NOBODY wants to do.
i played a bunch of market board pvp on day 1 of the last 2 tiers so i'm using that gil to be lazy now
My grind is
-Do Dailies to level my jobs to 100
-Take the time to get the gear for the current tier
-Fate Grind for the rest of the time and n e v e r s t o p.
idk whats worse, that the whm was third highest damage, or that doing less than a purple whm is somehow almost a green for rdms
Patron of the Fates is not a title I wear lightly.
whats the fight?
I plan on doing UCOB and I wont bother to change myself to a legend.
11n
the uh embarassing part is proibably
this is the deaths graph
Im just gonnna leave this here
Zelenia normal btw
actually I wasnt gonna but posting that again Im gonna upload that I want the full breakdown
at the end of the day its normal mode what can ya expect
like honestly that isnt even that bad compared to a lot of the normal mode stuff ive seen
honestly its a game people r paying monthly for, why would the expectation not be people want to play it instead of press slice for 9 minutes straight
I could easily change my title to The Perfect Legend but unfortunately for some I will not
Only real ones use Deep Canal Raider
chaotic spring only because it's the prettiest
So I know in the field Ops, each area is for a different type of material that you need. For the relics. If three of each is all you need, then when you have the 3 of 1 type should you just ignore all fates in that area, of the map
Nope
The ph exp is good
And silver
The fates are only a 5% drop chance anyways
Especially with the chance of acc drops now from CEās
So what's the better option? If you just wanna get the relics grinding the faites. In the field Ops or throughout the other zones of DT i know doing it that way might take longer, but you get to choose which one you're going for.
If you need to snipe one color or two go to zones
Okay, so it's better towards the end. When you already have most of them, and you're just missing 1 or 2 i've been grinding the critical encounters because the regular fates get finished. Before I even reach them because there's so many people, they delete the fate almost immediately.lol
Did you get the riding map
What's that
got to top p6 twice after 3 weeks off of the fight
astro wipes us both times
aight
like stop greeding man
nobody gives a fuck about your 320 potency fall malefic
oh sorry, 270
even lower at level 90!
So when I buy these are the consumable to increase my amount speed, how many can I buy? What's the maximum that it won't increase? Any further
One
Exact opposite for me tbh
bd parties, ive never cleared. normal ones, ive cleared and skipped arcane
You can't skip arcane 1 lmao
Are we absolutely certain that it wasn't dubbed "braindead" out of malice?
I've always thought that was an inevitability once people started using that word to name strats
It's either malice, stupidity, or good intentions. Either way it's not good
arcane 2 not 1
havent seen arcane 2 skip a ton, just today and yesterday with my merc
luckily i've only had 3 clear/farm parties and they all used normal arcane
about 15 kills and only 2-3 wipes total
i decided to bite the bullet and join a bd party and we wiped 3 times before i left š„
isn't bd arcane still like you have to kind of react to where the circle ends up?
just do the mechanic normally atp
no you just stand in one spot and hope you dont get hit thrice
yeah i just mean which mits you use
it's not like sphene where you do the same thing all the time
it was almost the meme
so close
bannable offense
Maybe instead of killing the strat, we should kill the people using it /s
the current food and pots will last for the rest of the expac correct ?
yeah majority of wipes ive seen are on intermission
Or double clipping spread aoes
Yep
i enjoy seeing people put ābrain aliveā for normal parties
They're going to be valid for the next ulti too if they keep their word and don't delay it
Minimum two brain to join this party
best is when someone tries to do callouts in chat but then doesnāt do it every time so people just read the old one and die
had a party earlier where i got 10 totems and 3 mil
Its the final tier of food and pot
easiest pf of my life
So yes
we had the reaper dc for the first car and barely got a slower kt
we also went out of intermission with 5 weakness
itās pretty hard to enrage this fight
I usually write 8/4
basically all your rezzers die or you probably kill it
Sometimes I dont and assume people have seen the orbs
nice, I got 1 mil the other day for just unsyncing normal panda p1-4
I guess someone just wanted it done on their alt
Sometimes I forget it myself but since I am tank I usually live anyway
it would be more fun if the twister snaps happened randomly throughout the fight instead of at set times 
I saw enrage first time yesterday
You can eat one twsiter still
It doesnt kill you
itās just annoying to have MT get clipped by more than one but you can just swap til it falls off
what strat is lactose intolerant
no cheese
Diarrhea
yeah and tbh if you can't do arcane i really dont trust people to do spread/stacks properly

yes
thats what you said lmao
its more that if you can't do the least threatening mechanic while keeping uptime why do you think I have trust in you to do harder mechs
and normally you will fail on other mechs because shitters are the only ones in ar cheese parties
As long as we one pull
I dont care
Bd non bd
Just dont choke
I already got the weps I wanted for jobs I will play
im at 72 totems, fights been literally so fucking easy in normal parties
I literally do not wipe
compared to necron this is a breeze
Mhm, necron was also a breeze tbf
fuck no
the amount of deaths in PF to MM2 and Grand Cross
or whatever that mech was
i cant remember the name
Parties were so inconsistent
sphene had a lot more wipes too
excluding the C41s ive joined to help friends, ive wiped 9 times out of my 36 kills
and 5 of those were Braindead
and I have 1 BD kill
ive joined a lot of C41s with friends
fights so piss easy gf got through it in one pull blind by us just yelling at her LOL
I think I did same
Watched a vid and joined duty completion party
Cleared in 4/5 pulls
thats not the same lmao
i yelled callouts at a friend and they cleared train in like 5 pulls easy piloting easy easy
yeah my friend was tank i told him āignore the intermission changes youāre tankā

tank is piss easy
lmao


pog
oh thatās good
unfortunately that party was cooked due to a dnc repeatedly trolling their healer on stack/spread and a tank who went the wrong way on arcane, just happened to tbe the one with the aoe, and then proceeded to drop said aoe directly onto us
are we talking abt bd cheese?
oh I should have clarified, thats the uh, car change attack
its a very good strat
on the first 2 cars
people just suck ass at performing it
people just didnt mit I guess
it should not have hit at 140k
people who dont like it r truly coping in my eyes. it will become functionally the most used strat especially when savage is out and everyone is geared
like ive said before, you can keep full uptime doing it normally and having to plan mits around stuff in a PF setting like that is dogshit
people are just allergic to a mitigation button
It requires actual mit planning
u dont have to plan mits you simply have to press. ur. buttons.
it alsso requires luck because it can just straight up kill you if it hits you thrice
you literally have to cause if you spend shit earlier you dont have it for the stacks
nothing else in this fight hits nearly as hard so you really dont have to break ur back over mitting
Omg its Omega Planetes
imo any strat that has a chance of failure due to rng even if executed correctly is a bad strat
Doing the mechanic which is also easy as fuck while keeping uptime is not hard LOL
no one said it was hard
And like ive said aswell
this is the reason why we got hitboxes and fight design in EW
its just as easy to sit there and keep doing whatever u want
it also makes it easier on ur casters
because people didn't want to actually work for uptime and thought it was "too much friction"
Can you believe thereās people who still didnāt get at least 90% uptime on him lmao
the people who perpetuate a strat where you soak vulns, have to plan mit around a fight you dont have to do in the first place, and then have RNG bullshit where you have to either tank LB or just wipe
hegemone hitbox is so funny, regular sized ancient with a hitbox thats like 3x as wide as they are tall
are the problem LOL
Hitbox so fat it feels harder to lose uptime sob
they just dont press their buttons
perpetuating a strat you have to "plan mit around" is such a wild thing to say
u plan mit around everything
literally all content that isnt a dungeon, u plan mit around
so idk what thats even implying
plenty of people are doing bd strat just fine its not a problem. theres two strats, one will probably supercede the other its really not a big deal
literally you just see mechanic press one mit you are fine. The issue is when you have to stack all your mits and actually remember to not use them on previous mechs to have it up is already too much for PF
the people who do BD are the people who did the tank DD strat in P1S
BD is not bad just cause of that
bd isnt bad
an easy fix
i also wouldnt compare the two to p1s, theyre completely different
It requires you to actually think instead of executing a simple mechanic properly. It requires you not to rely on RNG or Tank LB2 if you get unlucky. It also is the intended way and someone who actually can do that mechanic probably actually understands the mech and can do the fight better instead of praying to RNG since thats how a lot of people get through since your mit usage can wildly vary if you only get a 1 vuln run. On top of all of that, uptime is not an issue as you can keep full uptime while doing normal
what is that image
On top of all of that, this requires healers and tanks to do more
so why would it be uptime when you have more to do on support
oh no the tanks hitting their buttons for once
If it canāt be reliably executed in pf then itās not a good strat
the world is ending
I just listed like 4 things on why its bad
and on top of that, the mentality of people doing strats like that is why we get bad fight design like EW
it just sounds like a crash out. its really not based on rng in the way that youd think "well u wipe constantly" ive done bd like 20 times now and its fine every time
and 5 were from braindead
then every strat sucks
bc pf by nature struggles with many mechanics
by that very logic
pf is like notorious for that
there is a large difference between doing a mechanic the intended way vs having to jump through the PF ringer hoops just to do an unintended way
I saw ifrit in uwu within 45 minutes of prog I donāt think pf is really that bad
The point is, its not an intended way and that execution is inconsistent compared to the intended way where they just aren't doing it properly
maybe i just dont see it the same way u do, i rly dont wipe to bd strat so this feels like an anomaly of skill issues
i saw titan in an hour I win
Goatedge
the pf problems in uwu dont start until you reach ultimate weapon
I also see it as a plague to the game. I also gave you like 5 reasons why its a problem and one of them being the EW fight design philosophy (and class design aswell)
thats where the problems begin
people refuse to actually work for their uptime
on no I cant just hit a striking dummy!
Was Garuda Awakened when you saw Ifrit
WHATEVER SHALL ID O
theres one specific mechanic near the end, ultimate suppression, if you get past that mechanic you are basically guaranteed to clear
But we have fully fleshed out guides for like every fight in the game atp I donāt see why BD is even a thought
uwu is the ultimate end game content
No 
because then these fucks join my parties, fuck up normal cause they dont read or beg me to switch to it while also not being able to remember if it was stack/spread 5 seconds ago. On top of this, it gives them a false sense of security
Then you didnāt prog
its comfortable to not think. i CAN do both ways and ive done both ways numerous times, but i wont say bd isnt fun for me. its very nice to just sit there and keep my gcds rolling, hence the name braindead
I would rather people get better and learn stuff, and this strat to not be wildly popular cause then the devs see it and see how many hoops we jump through just to not do a mech
At least the correct mechs
and I will clown on anyone doing BD for these reasons
looks at Ilya Light Rampant
technically is prog just like 50% of the prog
so ur mad at bd bc players didnt read ur pf
no im serious titan gaols is like rly hard
Im mad because this strat exists, and when people join my party and have only done that and want to switch to it I have an issue. On top of that, I have other reasons listed afterwards
super duper hard even i think square should nerf it
In the end
No see braindead refers to the party youāre joining, theyāre doing braindead strats because rubbing more than two brain cells together makes them throw a massive tantrum
we just need them to just point DDs on this shit
so the idiots cant just soak vulns
mind u the only tantrum being thrown is the long rant about u hating bd
I for real cannot tell if you're serious or just messing with me
so i feel like this is just projected af
I didnt even say that
girl i cleared the fight in 20 pulls im obvi joking

Soaking vulns should only be done during final damage push methinks
its fine if u dont like bd but the reality is aether will always be up its own ass with strats so u have to accept that theres two
after zelenia and now this fight I REALLY dont need them to go back to EW fight design
And they pay attention to this
there was also 2 for intermission but static reigned supreme thank god bc fuck u for trying to push me at the north corner
Yeahhhh
Cause like yer trolling your healers
There were a solid 5 or less good fights in EW
Uh no BD adherents need lobobo
Honestly I dont care what strat a party uses. I've not experienced many wipes in either strat. Both have been successful equally for me.
yes the voice of reason strikes true
mind u im the healers in question
im not struggling to mit
Just because they are successful doesn't mean they are good for the game/community btw 
that fight is unironically easier to mit than necron ever was
theres many things that arent good for the game or community
and they still exist
I agree
and probably far more worth your time
and I criticize them too
just cause some things are worth doesn't mean others shouldnt be looked at
with such fervor i hope your fruits prove worth the effort

I cleared A4S by doing discoid sac strat as off tank and if that was the norm it would be shit for the game too idk why bd even exist
making people feel bad about potentially cause us to revert to a worse game like we have before is my goal
sac strat in P7S
ill never feel bad about greeding for more damage
anything to put me in turret mode ill do it
ramping up my personals is my fave
its okay my favorite class has been relegated to "worse than the alternative" for like 4 years + now
taking vulns/dds is bad play, greeding is good play
so im sure itll be fine
P1S tank DD, tank LB3 Cachexia 2
god Pandemonium fucking sucked LOL
Para 1 just being resolved with an invuln
Behold, the worldās most scuffed A4S clear
I remember seeing PFs that would have ābonds 3 LB3ā for P10S
Instead of just doing the damn mechanic

jesus christ
I cant think of any stupid strats in this current raid series
tho i might be forgeting
ig Tank Lb3 during towers in M6S
Fering Decay might be that
Discoid Sac Strat my beloved
You mean M6S?
nah, that one is just a different way to solve it
I think I begrudgingly accepted Fering during my PF excursions into M8S though
Fering is just resolving it normally, its not purposefully failing a mech
right
its just different prios
though I remember hearing people saying itās ass because people canāt be bothered to haul ass
you dont even need to haul ass
probably a different kind of suck then
But yeah Fering was actually fine
outside of M6S towers (Which most people try to resolve normally anyway)
But were pushed out rea fast
i can't think of anything else
yarp
maybe invulning towers in M7S
actually yeah, its crazy how many mechs we cheesed in Pandemonium normally because of how normal it was considered
but this raid tier we just...dont or can't
but yeah no real stupid strats in Arcadion
ok theres just a catgirl here
she looks like she might get a cold
nothing at all
FRU weapon btw
nothing at all
Yea
Going into FRU with no gear challenge
wotdahell
Bro closed his eyes to m2 mario kart

Or maybe it was the other one before it
Cant remember
does anyone know what the NA forked tower discord is
nvm found it its just field op enjoyers
i'm so glad i didn't grind fates in living memory until after 7.3
7.0-7.2 LM is so depressing
best name ive ever seen in my life
@wicked delta we've read this one before
you + tobias + backshots?
I was referring to a certain fanfic about alex

i hope we get another meme raidplan that people fall for and start sharing
P9S LC
I made the toolbox for the week 1 optimized Sac Strat
we only need 1 more 
im in train and my healers hearing is so good they can hear when the arcane revelation will stop before it even starts moving
wow

Remember gamers, you donāt get a special bonus for wiping to a mechanic several times week 1 instead of ripping a tank or healer lb if itās available and the dps check enables it 
Ultra instinct
flashback to 20 PF descriptions arguing about oppo vs JP
fantasia addict logging back in
oppo made more sense to me/felt like the intended solution
i rly struggled with jp for some reason
whyd they name a strat after the phone company
i thought both were fine. i just wanted everyone to decide on one
the mount (LM party) and the TT card dropped on the run that gave me the 100th totem
nice
ngl paying for parse on an unreal is crazy work
That, plus braindead for ef2, so all EF's are done the same.

paying for any parse is cringe IMO
damn ive just realized
I have only gotten the wings as a drop once, for every other EX this expac ive had to do the fight either 100 or 50 times

well one more EX to go, I hope the collect em all mount is good
im personally hoping for something like the one granblue character with 6 wings of different color
the EW one taught me to wait
It's unreal, you can accidentally get a historical rank 1 by just having good crit rng 
unreal is always that bad
It's basically free
it's like the most incentivized piece of "endgame" content for non raiders to do
so you get exactly that population in its pf
Sorry let me rephrase















the fresh 2 clear guy is perfectly fine w this fight
