[amber fable]

Whats to dislike

[pale blade]

funny how people doomed and gloomed over it

[visual geyser]

Yea that doesn’t change what I said

Considering when I first saw the changes people were crying in here about GNB being shot

[pale blade]

“Found dead in Miami”

[robust shoal]

I haven't played new gnb but it's another case of, I did a bunch of cool opti for a fight and that opti no longer exists

[dull drum]

the margin of error was reduced for cartridges yeah

[visual geyser]

Yea but you get press GNB cool buttons more

[robust shoal]

granted there might be other stuff to fill in, but I was doing wacky stuff with my carts

[visual geyser]

W

[robust shoal]

and I feel like I wouldn't be needing to do that any more

[worn bluff]

now it’s more like PLD but cooler looking

[robust shoal]

also if I made one mistake it was pretty much joever

[amber fable]

Blades > lioncombo

Sorry gubbers

[worn bluff]

gnashing > atonement tho

[amber fable]

That I agree

[robust shoal]

I hate LH combo

it feels so sluggish

and the application delay on it is unreal

[worn bluff]

i like LH just because nostalgia

[robust shoal]

also I'm still sad about my old rdm opti in uwu

I did two single-target moulinets on purpose and got r1

and they weren't scheduled, I was just in a situation where it became the best option

[tall field]

Decimate exists

[mossy eagle]

Congrats on the crit

[torn kindle]

Lionheart looks so goofy

[robust shoal]

thx

[tall field]

Everyone talks about application delay until decimate enters the chat

[amber fable]

Ouroboros is pretty molasses too

[robust shoal]

rip my median

I need to do uwu speeds again

that was so fun

[worn bluff]

one of the enhanced gibbet things on RPR has crazy application delay

more than the other. for some reason

[amber fable]

Executioner ?

[worn bluff]

yeah

[rapid whale]

is the 6 man stuff easier now with even more potency creep

[robust shoal]

haven't gone back in to try it

I imagine it would be about the same

6man dps check felt very much like when I was first progging

like, the dps check wasn't the main concern but you had to pay attention and actually opti a bit to pass

initially we didn't manufacture a good enough suppression push and fell behind on the check

it's possible that wouldn't be much of a concern any more ofc

also I forgot that uwu could run that long and didn't set my shadowplay buffer long enough

but the big obstacles were more on how to actually resolve some stuff with 6 people

like ifrit and suppression

[tall field]

I just hope titan in uwu is just as easy without AMs

Vs with AMs

[robust shoal]

aetheric boom actually gave us a ton of grief

and on the clear pull iirc I spend all of that mechanic spamming vercure

[tall field]

Ive seen some garuda and irfit stuff... what does tank do in irfit?

[robust shoal]

tank just stands between the front nails and then pulls it to the nearest intercard after nails are done

and gaols are much harder without AM

[tall field]

Oh

[robust shoal]

there are a few ways you can handle them

[tall field]

Does the floor help?

[robust shoal]

a recent prog group I did we assigned ourselves numbers and all had a macro to mark ourselves

[tall field]

In giving some hints

[robust shoal]

floor doesn't help

[tall field]

I see

[robust shoal]

you use the markers

[tall field]

So if i am marked with a jail

I macro?

[robust shoal]

but like I was 8th in line bc I begged to be last so I could greed a cast

so my macro marked me as #8

and if I saw I had gaol I'd hit the marker

then say #5 and #3 also got gaols

Then #3 sees he's lowest and goes closest to the boss, and 5 goes middle

[tall field]

I see

[robust shoal]

you can also do that verbally if you're in vc

[tall field]

Ye its with static

[robust shoal]

when we did 6man uwu we kinda just eyeballed it because I'm on the low end of uwu clears for that group with 200+

[tall field]

After gaols is the rest free?

Or there is another roadblock in ultima

[robust shoal]

it's the hardest mechanic in the fight imo

but I'm pretty jaded from 200 clears and might not have the best perspective

[tall field]

Idk if one will come with an AM or not but ye in case none have an AM

[robust shoal]

people certainly screw up anni and suppression a lot

anni I guess the ifrit dodge can catch you out

it's a huge choke check for the healers too

suppression it seems like a lot of it is just people not being in a good enough head state to see that they're light pillar and execute it correctly, it's not a complicated mech otherwise

rest of ultima is easy though

clear/reclear pf stumbling points are anni/supp along with gaols and blowing up ifrit nails too fast

[rapid whale]

i wonder how power creep will affect fru in the future

if there'll be any funny low man shenanigans

[worn bluff]

a bunch of the mechanics require 8 people so idk if that will be possible

[alpine plover]

this is the prog difficulty in uwu imo

there is also a roblox suppression sim but idk how that is cuz i never used it

[shadow pilot]

[trim frost]

dude

that viper was doing so much fucking damage to their nail every pull

it was so scary

[half holly]

Hi endgame lounge

[pale blade]

I knew my FSH glam I made at the beginning of DT would come in handy

[zealous meteor]

spearfishing

[pale blade]

lmao

yeah

maybe that is going to be my DRG glam moving forward

but also I'm gonna slap BLU accs on it

[robust shoal]

tbh it's kinda scary playing vpr because you don't have a big go button for your nail

I definitely go a bit harder before it gets the vuln down just to make sure I can even get it down

[zealous meteor]

viper in a lv70 raid

[dapper zealot]

2 buttons

[jagged aspen]

my worst part is that little landslide before anni

[robust shoal]

that one shouldn't get people but it does

also it's nice if the tank moves the boss one step so it's consistent pull to pull

[jagged aspen]

theres a flashbang effect just before it and then you have little time to choose which way to dodge

[robust shoal]

you can see titan in the background when he drops down

you always dodge to that side

he also always drops in the quadrant furthest from the boss so if the tank pulls him a step to the right then you're always going back and left

[jagged aspen]

ah ig i missed that part

[pale blade]

I now have the level 80 BLU accessories

my DRG glam is complete

[remote gate]

its actually pretty good i used it to learn suppression

oh is this a shipping thing

fandaniel ?

ngl I forgot he existed for a hot minute because in my head I just consider him hermes

[random needle]

I get the sensation that they didn't like it either fwiw

... Or wait

I might have misread

[mossy eagle]

Imagine going for Zenos or Fandaniel over the 4'11" catboi

[sly basin]

need my ships to be a little toxic srry

but graha is cute

[random needle]

For me personally, it will always be WoL Lamat

[mossy eagle]

After FFXIV finishes, my WoL and Graha are moving to Brokecat Mountain

[random needle]

I do imagine my WoL having relationships with G'raha and Haurchefant in ARR and HW, but after both of those ended... in suboptimal ways... she was put off romance until DT

[visual geyser]

[remote gate]

does elounge think graha was recasted

[random needle]

flashback to 5.4 does elounge think Cid was recasted

(for the record, I don't think he was)

[remote gate]

i think he was because the voice change was jarring and did not sound like him at all

fourth wall breaking ultimate

[visual geyser]

Make sense

[timber sleet]

Hello, I have a quick question about endgame gear progression. Which gear should I be spending capped tomestones on first? I've always heard IL>raw stats so I am assuming right side first since it's the cheapest, but I'm also hearing that for tomes I should be acquiring body/legs first, then rest of left side and only then right side (not including weapon)

[visual geyser]

◆switch版はリリースされますか？
⑮Switchは楽しみにお待ちください

Will we have a Switch version?
Answer: Please look forward to the Switch version.

[jolly flume]

it depends a bit on the job, number of weeks of tomes available before savage and the stats on the gear pieces, but balance usually publishes a buy order along with the gearsets for each tier

[timber sleet]

aaah good to know, thank you

[jolly flume]

but IL>stats is leveling advice and is not always applicable for BiS gear at level cap

[timber sleet]

I would imagine that's only for ultimates, right? Since syncing is wicked

[jolly flume]

not just that

[terse zodiac]

That advice is also on a per item basis, overall ilvl is not always better

[jolly flume]

there's more and less valuable stats

and some stats are so useless that dropping item level to dodge them is better for damage

[timber sleet]

yeah I often see mix of two sets but usually the same IL for bis

hah lol

[jolly flume]

generally IL is still the biggest factor but it's not always gospel to be followed

[timber sleet]

Where can I find the purchase prio on The Balance please?

[dull drum]

should be in your chat channel for your job in INSERT JOB NAME HERE-resources

or pinned in INSERT JOB NAME HERE-gen

[timber sleet]

Okii thanks

[boreal pumice]

[dull drum]

should be labelled as prog bis

i just checked the 7.4 gnb opener and realized i was doing that already

[dreamy whale]

I paid $10 for canva to make this

[wintry elbow]

i want to try an extreme. what is my first step?

[eternal tulip]

What extreme are you eyeing?

[whole estuary]

Decide which one

[remote gate]

if you want a good recommendation, doomtrain ex is great

[wintry elbow]

there are choices? i want a fun one. 🙂

[remote gate]

its in the sweet spot of difficulty

[eternal tulip]

Doomtrain ex is forgiving and has a nice learning curve

[wintry elbow]

ok, i pick doomtrain. how do i get acesss to it?

[remote gate]

not too easy but not too hard. gets your ilvl to at least 765 and you'll be able to do it

have you completed the 7.4 msq

[eternal tulip]

Minstrel in tuly, don't recall the ilevel and ^

[wintry elbow]

yes, i have completed the game

[whole estuary]

Decide if you want to do it blind or not

And make a PF group or fully read the descriptions of existing ones

[remote gate]

visit the minstrel bard in tuliyoal and it'll unlock it. afterwards decide if you'll do it blind or watch a guide and join/host a party finder

[wintry elbow]

so i need 765 i level, and visit the minstrel bard

then i go to that party finder in the main menu and join it like i do for the dutys?

[remote gate]

technically you can do it at ilvl 760 but having at least 765 or higher makes it easier

and yes

[eternal tulip]

In the bottom menu bar theres a p button > party finder

p also opens it iirc?

[remote gate]

find a pf thats fresh or you can host your own pf

[zealous meteor]

P is actions & traits by default

[eternal tulip]

Ah yeah

[wintry elbow]

ok, thank you 🙂

[zealous meteor]

there's no keybind for party finder

[remote gate]

np good luck

[zealous meteor]

(i personally set it to shift+U though)

[remote gate]

if you need help with any particular mechanics feel free to ask

[eternal tulip]

I'll give a tip as someone who has recently gotten into extremes/harder content. Don't worry too much if you mess up, there's always another pull/res

[wintry elbow]

a person helped me yesterday with my rotations and i have them writen down 🙂

and i practiced on the dummys

[eternal tulip]

That's a good start

If you got some food that also may help a little

[boreal pumice]

thats expected tbh

skipping pot fine , but bring food

[wintry elbow]

what food for blm?

[vast jacinth]

I think my friend crafted rooneek au gratin

[boreal pumice]

depends on the blm build

[vast jacinth]

But it probably depends on what build /spellspeed your going dor

For

[eternal tulip]

Might be a bit expensive to go for the new food for just prog

[boreal pumice]

if your doing sps its grtain if its 2.3 crit build its potage

[vast jacinth]

Check the balance for that probably

[zealous meteor]

just get the food

[boreal pumice]

shoulnt be that expensive

[zealous meteor]

it'll be bis until 8.0

[vast jacinth]

They can also use old food i used mate cookies in my ex trial kills

[eternal tulip]

Same

[vast jacinth]

But once savage hits i will use the new food

[boreal pumice]

cheapo cherry

[vast jacinth]

Jup

But i still played well so its ok

[eternal tulip]

And the dps check is forgiving

[boreal pumice]

i only seen enrage once

[rain geode]

I'd get the newest food since you get like 2-3 pulls per serving anyway

[sinful brook]

i don't think this is necessarily good advice

new food is stronger than old food

its just more hp

[boreal pumice]

2-3 pulls? thats if your making it to the end and its about a 9 min fight

[sinful brook]

like 0 downside to just being less squishy

[dreamy whale]

John Moomoo says uhh

[torn mesa]

if you care enough to do an EX, you surely aren't so broke that buying 1 stack of the new food would break your bank

[dreamy whale]

Do Akh Afah Amphitheater Extreme

[sinful brook]

moomoo normal mode sword isn't stack

[wintry elbow]

i will buy the fancy food, don't worry haha 🙂

[dull drum]

https://tenor.com/view/sleeping-sleep-dog-dawg-eeper-gif-5083970977419902566

[sinful brook]

i've autopiloted killed several years worth of parties

[dreamy whale]

ITS FUN

[dull drum]

is it though

[dreamy whale]

Ye

[boreal pumice]

ive done that as well since i got so used to ex from mentor

[dull drum]

🤨

[dull drum]

is it as fun as an ultimate though

[dreamy whale]

Nohg bc at least in uwu I have infuriate

Going from infuriate to berserk gotta be the worst shit imaginable

[sinful brook]

you have infuriate at shiva too

[whole estuary]

at least do it as BLU so you can get the spell

[dreamy whale]

Clearly i am misremembering the ability

Inner release

[fierce matrix]

Infuriate is level 50 ya

IR is 70

Fuck you bot

I forgot it

[dreamy whale]

Me when I hit level 70 and I didn’t have to plan my berserk uses anymore

[fierce matrix]

We love fell cleave

[wicked delta]

Yup

[vestal hollow]

if you can afford new food go for it

but i have a shitton from last tier

[remote gate]

300 mate cookies

[vast jacinth]

I had like 200 mate cookies left now im down to 100 yipiee

999 stacj of new food and 999 pots should be enough trust

[jolly flume]

prob gonna be like 4000 pots for me depending how much of the ultimate I do

[remote gate]

speaking of which if this ultimate is "meta" and it breaks the fourth wall its deff gonna involve either zenos or athena

[zealous meteor]

both

[remote gate]

zenos and Athena trios mechanic?

[fierce matrix]

I made 3.8k

[robust shoal]

4k is a lot of pots

like I brick wall headsmashed through top before strats were really out and that was only 2k pulls

[fierce matrix]

Well Ill pot every pull for the next year

Not like there will be better pots

[sinful brook]

you know i don't think 4k is enough

[fierce matrix]

[sinful brook]

you should be getting pot poisoning

[robust shoal]

People ended up with a ton of spares after FRU

[fierce matrix]

Yeah

I had like 700 extra i think

[zealous meteor]

that's when you start potting in roulettes

[fierce matrix]

I only made 2k aswell

[zealous meteor]

just for fun

[fierce matrix]

YOU ARE SO RIGHT

[jolly flume]

I went through 3k in a month in 6.5, given I was nolifing but 4k for the entire tier and ultimate + reclears for a while sounds about right

[fierce matrix]

The fuck

3k pots

A MONTH

Brother

Do we need to have an intervention

[jolly flume]

top pf

[zealous meteor]

i'd expect to see you in bottom pf but okay

[robust shoal]

Tinctures Georg over here

[torn mesa]

just doing the EX I've already gone through probably 200+

depending on the difficulty of the ultimate, as much as 2k is easily possible

[jolly flume]

my friend unironically does this

reply didn't go off

[jolly flume]

this

8% faster trash pack I guess

[torn mesa]

what are roulettes

[jolly flume]

content that isn't real and can't hurt me

don't check what my alt is doing rn

[torn mesa]

he can assign cousin otto

to pot

[zealous meteor]

roulettes are what people who don't outsource dailies/weeklies to their cousin otto do

[torn mesa]

thanks for the words of wisdom, lalafell

[jolly flume]

even if you were to do it manually expert is the only one of value

[zealous meteor]

ehhhh

[jolly flume]

i have no idea what possesses people to load up trial roulette every day

[torn mesa]

would just do hunts then.

[zealous meteor]

i play this game to have fun and i think duties are fun

[torn mesa]

I'll queue normal raid every now and then

when I'm at work or something

[remote gate]

normal roulette gonna be m12 for the next month

[jolly flume]

normal raid is where I go to lose rolls on the orchestrion

I made some half decent money while comm farming lol

[torn mesa]

what is a good looking NIN weapon

[zealous meteor]

the crafted ravana ones

[remote gate]

wu weapon ig

[jolly flume]

no way we're boutta catch u playing nin

what gives

[torn mesa]

finally got around to leveling it, might as well setup a weapon to use like I did with the other melees

[remote gate]

ninja is only good under lv 86

[zealous meteor]

ninja is only good below lv1

[torn mesa]

tried the suggestions

[remote gate]

rajiu makes me want to cut my fingernails too short

[torn mesa]

yoshimitsu is alright

not a fan of large chunky looking ones

[random needle]

Ninja is a very... hmm one for me

[jolly flume]

not my problem

tbn or die

[torn mesa]

all the ultimate NIN weapons look kind of bad

[remote gate]

im getting that free edge whether you like it or not

[jolly flume]

I think the tea daggers are alright

rest kinda uggo

we don't talk abt top

[remote gate]

get the ucob ones to have piss daggers

[torn mesa]

actually UWU is pretty good

cause it's just Yoshimitsu

[remote gate]

cop it noble

[jolly flume]

he'd have to do uwu

fate worse than death

[remote gate]

yeah true

sentencing you to prog uwu in a fresh pf as a wh*

and you cant use lillies

[jolly flume]

yo random question

you guys ever just rawdog peanut butter

out of the jar

[random needle]

Are you a dog?

[robust shoal]

they are cool tho, basically just swords

[boreal pumice]

I think I just like swords

[jolly flume]

i use the yokai ones short an have lil fox on it

[robust shoal]

[clear plume]

I have a few larger sword like glams I like but I don’t remember them off top of head

I was big on actual ninja identity on my most recent arc so

[boreal pumice]

what is the shortest drk sword

[torn mesa]

ok, Seiryu isn't too bad

[clear plume]

Suzaku is kind of nice too but the red doesn’t match glams great if you aren’t red ofc

Doma weapons fitting ninja who’d guess

[robust shoal]

I feel like I should know this but I'm not sure

[clear plume]

I think it’s nidhogg maybe

Shit is fat but short as hell

[fierce matrix]

Can you meow for me instead

short drk swords never made an impression on me

short spears look funny though

but no one knows who Freya is

[clear plume]

That’s ok, you call it optimal to line it up with 2m

[torn mesa]

I'm also dumb

[clear plume]

Even if you lose a usage you blame it on not knowing kt and playing to cdps

[jolly flume]

you're just practicing your 4:30 kt ultimate final phase rotation

[torn mesa]

and keep forgetting mug gives +50

and keep trying to go into 2M with 100 Ninki

okay, NIN filler in DT

is unironically a bit more nuanced than in ShB/EW

[jolly flume]

my huraijin once a minute rotation went hard

[robust shoal]

(Attempt to be relatable) Yeah Mug giving gauge reminds me of Sole Survivor on SB DRK

[torn mesa]

see I'm so used on SAM

to go in with 100 gauge

and just dump before using your +50

whereas NIN I can't do that

[jolly flume]

did they remove the gauge cost from bunshin this expac

[robust shoal]

also the 90s->120s IR rDPS pad WAR in ShB

good times

[torn mesa]

no

[jolly flume]

glances at living shadow

[robust shoal]

Except a DRK would pad way harder anyway

I got two generational crit luck runs in m4s

and the funny thing is Lapin Gino could be expected to get three runs like that

which is how he r1 m1s with a tome weapon

[torn mesa]

it was offpatch cats

and it's also a PLD, i.e., a tank nobody parses on

[robust shoal]

it was funny seeing him hardstuck 98th percentile for about 1200 kills before he cleared m3s

[torn mesa]

I went to check his profile and chose 7.05

it took like 10s for it to load

[robust shoal]

[torn mesa]

but yeah they only got R11 on 7.05

[jolly flume]

I tried pulling up his stats through the API once and it took 14 seconds and change

[robust shoal]

true, I just think it's funny how he just manufactured his own generational luck

[jolly flume]

never stop gambling

99% of parsers quit right before they rank 1

[torn mesa]

peep the fact that this is still more than the tank filler

and tanks are on a slower GCD on top of that

[jolly flume]

it's because tanks have to use all their brain cells to figure out how to mitigate a buster that happens during burst noble

[loud swift]

i could never parse well i always fuck up in someway shape or form 😔

[torn mesa]

nah

it's cause we need that to move the boss

evidently Chiyo

[jolly flume]

the gnb that asked me to voke off for mirror mirror because he couldn't move the boss during gnashing fang forever lives rent free in my head

[quick verge]

tanks when noclippy triple weave

[robust shoal]

I threw 5 unmends and got rank 1, don't let your dreams be dreams

[torn mesa]

I find it funny how

I press more defensives than a tank does every fight

It's just unnoticed because if I miss it, I don't die.

[jolly flume]

tanks can miss 2 defensives and live too

[robust shoal]

broke: moving boss during gnb burst hard
woke: moving boss during war burst hard

[jolly flume]

black halo the shared buster of all time

[robust shoal]

imagine having to gapclose 4 times during your burst

[jolly flume]

I hate onslaught

why are there three charges

[jolly flume]

take a shot every time a pf tank quad weaves mit for soul tether

[torn mesa]

one of the things we looked forward to during reclears

[robust shoal]

I'm so happy I finished war in 6 kills and got to play something fun

[torn mesa]

was having Jon share the buster with the tank

[jolly flume]

it's like 350k damage apiece that's light work

[torn mesa]

okay I'm not tripping if I say

[jolly flume]

double tank shorts + healer mit

[torn mesa]

I press more defensives per fight than a tank right

just my "short CD" is on a much lower cooldown

[jolly flume]

probably true unless the tank is hpsmaxxing

depends how often you can actually proc third eye I guess

but if it's legit off cd probably

[torn mesa]

the way I see it is

I press as many feints as a tank presses party mit

I press as many bloodbaths as a tank presses 40%

I press as many second winds as a tank presses rampart

[quick verge]

I just know noble hates tank players

[torn mesa]

so it's third eye vs short CD + DLC mit + reprisal at that point

[boreal pumice]

Let him cook

[torn mesa]

what gave that away 🤯

[wicked delta]

Noble is a kind individual that would never hate anyone

[torn mesa]

I am a kind person Tobi

[loud swift]

I love pressing feint. fantastic button

[torn mesa]

I can hate while being kind

[wicked delta]

SO true

[jolly flume]

I visualize noble turning into anger from inside out when a tank pulls the boss slow

[boreal pumice]

Not many ex parties guess ppl are out for new years

[jolly flume]

ok actually now i'm curious

[rapid whale]

I'm too dumb to get mad

[jolly flume]

have you ever intentionally early pulled for a third eye

I would so do that

[worn bluff]

i've heard that's a thing

like slightly early

[rapid whale]

Kinda hard to no since dash costs kenki

[worn bluff]

you can just face pull early

[jolly flume]

just facepull early theres a plugin that shows aggro range

[rapid whale]

Oic

[boreal pumice]

On train you can be fairly close

[loud swift]

You can be in melee range and not be aggro'd

[rapid whale]

I'm p sure you can be in melee range and not pull for train ga

[loud swift]

Train you can sniff it

[torn mesa]

no

I didn't even start taking autos in DSR until DT

where I could always heal it myself

[boreal pumice]

Did furen show you his dsr group yesterday

[loud swift]

dsr looks......... cool

I want to try it someday

[torn mesa]

I'll say this much

I've no issues with tanks gap closing to pull

unless they do it early on top of that

[boreal pumice]

I miss when my tank gap closer did dmg

[torn mesa]

2 of them still do

[jolly flume]

I really don't!

[torn mesa]

Chiyo why would you ever gap close pull on GNB

like the argument of an extra gap closer use is no longer true

[loud swift]

make all gap closers do damage or make none do damage

[jolly flume]

it's technically better in fru p1 than pulling with lightning shot because it won't ghost your last gcd

but you can facepull for same effect

[torn mesa]

just run in

exactly

[robust shoal]

I like using gapcloser for consistency vs facepull

[torn mesa]

I'm not saying you have to lightning shot, but gap close pull just means if you early pull

you fuck it for everyone else

[robust shoal]

some people did that even when they did dmg

[jolly flume]

idk I just lightning shot because it's much more comfy to position the boss with it for me

almost always dead center

my gcd doesnt matter as long as I get my cart

[torn mesa]

like DSR WAR gap close

you get an extra use I think

so fair enough

[worn bluff]

i find aggro range the honest way. by testing it personally and wasting everyone's equipment durability

cloudflare warp legit doing god's work

[shy obsidian]

Is it possible to week 1 stuff if my rotation is a bit wonky

[jolly flume]

define a bit wonky lol

you certainly don't have to play optimally to clear but it goes a long way in making up for other people doing shit damage, dying, taking dds and the like

[shy obsidian]

Like I still haven’t gotten my higanbana realignment down lol

[worn bluff]

every fight is balanced a bit differently but if your only issue is like a few missed ticks on bana it's probably not going to be that big of a deal especially on the first couple floors

[random needle]

Especially since we still don't know for certain if this tier is balanced around 4 weeks of tomes or not

[jade nimbus]

Doubt it will be

[worn bluff]

the mentor response will probably be that you should fix as many mistakes as you can before tuesday to maximize your chance of success

just depends on what your/your static's goals are and how important it is for you to week 1

[jagged aspen]

just play whm, 60% glare uptime and youre already better than most of pf

[clear plume]

Regarding the next Ultimate, Yoshida says the general concept for it is “meta”, as in metanarrative/metafictional elements. (take it as you will, but I saw a Japanese user point out that he choose Pandaemonium server instead of the usual Chocobo for these New Year’s apperances…)

[proper cave]

Banana management isn’t as strict as it used to be tbf. You still want to get it as close as you can but there is a little more wiggle room now.

[clear plume]

Fellas are we about to get peak

I’d spend the next week practicing that

[jagged aspen]

Oh.

Only 60 hmm

Fixing the alignment issues won’t take too long if you hammer it out

[limpid edge]

are people againt the balance cuz they mad at the balance critiquing them or what?

ima be honest, people hating on balance give off sprouts hating on mentor energy

not like ff14 burger king mentors, but mentors in general

[rain geode]

I dont know how true this is but I've heard the balance used to be much worse so it could be memory?

[timber stratus]

i havent seen anyone mad at the balance

well except freaks who got banned for being dumbasses

[rain geode]

Like I know Xenos's line is "I used to not like them but that was so long ago I dont know if I'd still not like them now"

I havnt really had any major problems with them myself

[timber stratus]

Oh xenos

I mean he just does his own thing too and thinks hes a genius

[limpid edge]

zenos!?

[rain geode]

tbf this game isnt exactly complicated

[timber stratus]

Ye u dont really need the turbo optimization they do to clear stuff

But some people want it

[rain geode]

Press all you buttons in the damage buff window doesnt require a collage degree

[low hearth]

Ok but press all your buttons in the damage buff window while doing mechanics

[limpid edge]

that requires more practice than innate deep knowledge

[rain geode]

Hard and complicated don't have perfect interlap there are very straitforward things that are difficult to do

[limpid edge]

bet you never seen anythin this gnarly?

surely it wasn't hrae

it wasn't

that was the slowest DSR I've done in DT

even slower than the 1 that had a total clusterfuck in P3 we did

[jolly flume]

slower than the 18:03

sheesh

[torn mesa]

it was 17:51

the kill today is 10s slower

[pale blade]

at least you weren't a Reaper

[dapper zealot]

Nah clearly you should have been rpr instead

[flat bane]

like I saw the pf

anbd saw no phys ranged so I was like "heh fuck it, sounds fun"

"can't join as current job"

then I look at the PF, see only bard and dnc spots open so I'm likle "no way they locked out machinist for ex6"

and they fucking did

[zealous meteor]

[rain geode]

the fact that 2:6 is popular should tell you everything you need to know

[flat bane]

I mean I kinda get it for barse

but yeah its stupid

[zealous meteor]

the people who do that are bad enough at the game that they won't notice a difference between MCH and BRD <3

[rain geode]

man I love when xiv lags for no reason everything else is running fine

might save our last 10 train runs til tomm

[flat bane]

"holy mother of lag, everyone's dead are they?"

it's like the third prog party I join where i'm 3 on aggro as a machinist

is this normal for bard ? pls say its just because im a buff bitch

welcome to dnc/brd

ur personal dmg isnt going to be impressive

ever

[timber stratus]

i will make the personal dps bard build rotation

real

[quick verge]

yea

mind control someone working for sqex

and make them buff refulgent by like 150 potency

[boreal pumice]

is this why ppl play mch because they have abit more personal dmg

[jolly flume]

there is no objective reason to play mch like ever

if you play it it's bc it's fun

or bc you are so completely out of the league of everyone else in the party that you shouldn't even be in that party

[boreal pumice]

i might be cooked but wasnt mch used in top because of wrench be upon ye or some buff cap thing

[jolly flume]

you could go mch to not vomit 30 million buffs at the party in p3 and buff cap

[rain geode]

nope just me

somehow even with constant 500 ping and frequent freezes I somehow didnt get a 0

[versed kayak]

you kinda need to try really hard to get a zero ngl

[jolly flume]

I've gotten 0 once ever and it was in dsr where I got murdered so badly I sent my buffs in full downtime

[dense oxide]

EX is super easy content so even player who do 0 damage can clear

Like this guy

You gotta try really hard to beat 2k dps

[rain geode]

didnt stop this guy we got to replace the PCT from getting a 0 xd

[versed kayak]

8 dps away from doing worse than a healer, good grief

[rain geode]

yup and I did awful that pull to every psych past the 3rd was drifted out of raid buffs

Fuck add phases

I'm playing viper but if this lag keeps up... oof. Bad bad ping right now even on not attack times, and noclippy doesn't help when its this bad.

Well benefit is I know Im playing Barrier healer so that doesnt really matter

[low hearth]

Oh

[dapper zealot]

whm :)

[deft yarrow]

everytime my job roulette lands me on AST i die a little
like every job with a burst is like this image when 2 minutes hit but it feels extra so for me with AST

i think its the stress of offloading cards and not somehow selfcasting both of them on myself

[random needle]

That's basically me but for Ninja I think

[trim frost]

in most content there's really no issue with not using the non-buff cards

if you need to keep it rolling keep it rolling

[dapper zealot]

usually I just dump them onto the MT

[trim frost]

yeah

[dapper zealot]

Or some random dps for lols

[shadow pilot]

How about ST

[trim frost]

not real

[random needle]

Thinking on it now, does the specific order you hit stuff in Ninja burst matter a lot, or is it basically fine as long as you keep cooldowns rolling? Especially on the big stuff like Kassatsu and TCJ

[vestal hollow]

in your opener it matters but matters less in later ones

though with tcj not locking you in place anymore you shouldnt need to worry that much

before youd move tcj earlier or later depending on mechanic movement demands but im pretty sure you dont need to worry anymore about that so every burst can be the same order

[random needle]

Okay that makes sense
