I'm actually considering doing blu raiding
seeing as I've basically done everything mainstream raiding has to offer
it looks kinda funky
its fun in a different way
Got more M10S prog
Well the wall for me currently is Snaking
Holy thats a tough mech to keep up with stuff
Specially since the cutback blaze at the end catches you unguarded
even though you need to know how to do both responsibilities it's nice that you can just focus on your group's only
For snaking ..you do get time to bait cone
Might be turning into my favorite Arcadion Second Floor
it’s a fun fight
Also holy hell DEEP IMPACT is so friggin funny
By far the funniest Tankbuster i ever faced
Who woulda thunk you can kill the whole party in one punch lol
Thats like very standard tb
there will never be a tb as peak as mountain fire
Yeah but in this one its not like a pillar of light or anything just friggin Rams you through the torso in a punch XD
Hh was a tb
That was pretty awesome too
I’d love BLU more if they didn’t do a NIN with their burst
AKA press 20 fucking buttons in a very tight 15s window
Also their voke sucks
Also don’t like moon flute in general
Im looking forward to progging more M10S tomorrow
I hate aggro management of blu
Specially since on a weekend i ought to get more parties
No tank/healer oGCDs also fucking suck
I love this game man
i also want to complain about how unremarkable the last update to blue mage was
"new carnivale stages" (one stage)
It really just made us swap Shiva’s move with a different button and we got a different GCD to spam in burst
220 potency with 50% falloff
i think 10 is a way more fun fight than 11
TFW Lakshmi’s damage/heal move is the best aoe damage after like 5 targets because no falloff
Ah yeah 10 flavours of same button
But BLU doesn’t care about aoe in dungeons because vibe check
10 isnt tight either
So you can fuck up and clear
11 is shaping up to be the least fun out of the entire arcadion, like enrage aside
the weapons are annoying and not fun
It definitely looks to be the most plain
Its Honest at least
i don't think m11s is particularly complex on a broad scale but pf is notoriously bad at it
In a way it reminds me of P7S
so it'll probably remain infamous for that reason alone
From how simple and then BACKLOADED as hell the fight gets
it definitely is very easy to understand, just annoying to execute imo
Most useless skill ever
it's bad enough that the tomestone dev was considering scrapping the prog point feature altogether
“Here’s great mitigation, but your group now relies on a coin flip to not wipe”
Also it’s ANOTHER FUCKING GCD
i think some actions have kinda neat ideas but then their potencies/activation methods/cds/etc. just make them utterly useless
Blue is all gcd
like i think dimensional shift could've been kinda cool for overworld fate farming but that 5s cast time is ridiculous
Might as well just use Launcher instead
Blue is that class which feels it will be fun
But then its kinda trash
To actually play
I am not a fan of blu
peat pelt + deep clean having intended interaction is cool but then you realize peat pelt does fucking no damage
Oh I love the combo skills that are shit when separate, and only mediocre when together
Peat Clean combo is basically only for soloing fates you can’t vibe check
Winged reprobation
so like fixed hp immune boss fates or
i didnt get any of the level 80 actions lol
since i had no blu static
gonna go back to get everything i missed when the blu update hits
The only two you actually care for raiding about are Being Mortal from Titania and whatever’s from Innocence
The rest are filler spells
Sea Shanty I think gets used in burst sometimes
And Candy Cane is a physical version of Magic Hammer for debuffing
mortal flame and breath of magic are neat but you can only apply one of each to any enemy so
So only one person in the party uses them
Definitely great for doing weekly carnivale though
i think apokalypsis is a good moon flute finisher(?) but if you actually need to move for stuff then phantom flurry is probably safer
Flurry is same
It’s a mixup between that and Mortal
Fight-dependent and also if it can hit multiple IIRC
Pretty sure not since it’s an ability
phantom flurry is ogcd
also phantom flurry sans finisher is 1200p while apok is 1540
but apok forces you to stand still for longer
Oh okay
whenever blue mage gets a dt update i hope they a) do more with the lore and b) make arcadion spells interesting
but idk i was kinda let down by how little eden was utilized
was it literally just a spell from 1 and a spell from 12
the primary upside of apokalypsis is the furry pose you do
on all levels except physical i am a quadruped cosmic horror
maybe I should work on my spells
Doing it after the update is easier, pf is gonna be full of spell parties
LONG LIVE THE KING 🗣️
Thank the gods sadly most left before the picture 🙁
now m11s hell
It's FINALLY FUCKING OVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER
👉 
Also I guess to make for the fact I got 0 loot M9S I kinda stole all the loot this time
lichrully praying that I don't get stuck there on sunday
Probably gonna start on M11S tommorow under no delusion Im getting a clear this week lol
Least cursed meteorain
every time you fuck up orbital omen
just say it was lag
2-1 till i die no capperoni
leebron james
i know what you are
i dont blame lag unless i actually got a 70000ms spike btw
you just have to yank your ethernet cable out of the wall to really sell the "I lagged" thing
that used to be a real strat in a game I played way back in like 2005
I'm doing this even as phys ranged lmao its just so easy
it was a strat in destiny 1
it was a korean shooter game
so destiny? /j

and you could jiggle your ethernet cord
to lag and dodge ppls shots
but for some reason ur shots would still hit
crazy
netlimiter 4 pro

the entire d2 community had one license key for that shit that they shared
that game almost gave me arthritus at an early age
not actually but damn did it hurt your wrist after a while
ff14 is actively ruining my wrists
i just do that when i dont feel like playing the game
it was never an issue even when I played osu
but I get pretty frequent wrist pain nowadays
you need to do hand stretches before you game
also take a break
also you aren't 15 anymore
someone fucking made a 3 hr video on this shit 💀 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mi5rxkwvwYc
GunZ: The Duel has a history that extraordinarily unique. I've condensed the entire game's history from 2004-2025 into a 3 hour long timelined documentary from start to finish. This game is so dynamic in every way, and there's hundreds upon hundreds of more stories to tell within this game. I wanted everything before Steam GunZ to not get forgot...
🥀
wth
I wonder if that'll stay a purple when it locks in
yes
if my static doesnt get to at least enrage for m10s
i am going to be cooked trying to pf on sunday
ill show you serious motion
Maybe I should have taken that persons advice the other day
You ever see anything this gnarly?
And just gotten pf practice
boba tea
Save some fun for me
free 15 year mute to the next person that drops a line from m10
I ride the inferno.
Im really glad I avoided crashing out on my 0.01% enrage
guy named inferno
What if you already have a 401k
see you when you can cash out your IRA
my reign is absoltue, i will NOT lose
im just saying
if you're an mmo player and dont want children
you are playing suboptimally
Sorry I like being to travel whenever I feel like it which absolutely cannot be done with children in the cradle
every child you birth is a child you can raise to become the ultimate raider
thats at least 2/8 humans in a raid group
and they can grind shit for you before they develop sentience
thats optimal
You think MMOs will exist when today’s children are old enough to use a keyboard……..
mb
They will be maybe playing World of Genshin: A Realm Reborn….gacha mmo
they'll be playing the riot mmo

That all you got, huh? Nice knowing you, unenhanced warrior!
Who here is having kids and are u going to tell ur kids PF war stories while they’re growing up
6 hours daily of trauma dumping pf horror stories on your children
my kids will be pf warriors
“And then….it was snaking prog”
LMAO
I was stunned for like 5 seconds just staring at that
Being pregnant sounds spooky no ty
||I’m already depressed enough I don’t need post partum depression 🥀 ||
back in the stone age when we didn't have tomestone
Being an MMO player and not having kids is the life
does tomestone even matter atp
One of the two decent M10S PF groups I got ended when someone was like "wife got home gtg" and I wonder to this day if it was joke
"and then a group of people in the pf started making the other people uncomfortable"
you check everyone's passport and you still wipe 3 mechanics earlier
whats the point
Years of exposure to vent discord raiding and hearing the random dad in your 25 man raid crashing out bc his kid suddenly went on a rampage in the computer room has conditioned me
lol my fc clear request ticket queue is just like 5 straight m11s enrage to clears
no
LOL
My ex was like this
baby in oven again brb
She didn’t have any hobbies so I wasn’t allowed to have any either
Like in the party before the one I cleared with there was a WHM who technically got farther in the fight then me and they completely sucked
🙃
the last static i had, had like 3 40 year old women talking about booktoks mid raid
just leave it in this time
Passport checks dont matter since you can get an easy pattern or zombie walk through 1 or 2 mechanics
give up
“Not now, sweetie, Mommy’s trying to win this internet argument”
that doesn't make it not matter
Not now sweetie mommy’s shitposting in main
false positives doesn't stop it from filtering out the people who join ahead
looking at you, darklit to clear gamers
me AF
darklit to clear wilted rose emoji
danklit clear
the community service clears for next ultimate are gonna be crazy
Gonna make a macro for M9S when I take my cage thjat goes "despite all my rage Im still just a cat in a cage"
you ever c41 someone then instantly blacklist them
I feel like I owe pf some apologies
"never again"
I’ve only blacklisted one person
I c41 Chiyo Shiomi in UWU then blacklisted them in 2022 or some shiii
everyone has to do community service at some point in their life
I’m very tolerant maybe too tolerant
I came real close to Blacklisting the WHM from my party before the last
Then quit the game
i just blacklisted a lala today
that fight kinda ass
I think there was a WoW mod that converted your messages to that automatically
lol
violet
Ok I dont hate M10S anymore its a pretty good fight
dude the rez message was even worse
I specifically asked if I could play that shit before hand
I was gonna do Harpe mage but held back
harpe mage is probably more interesting than playing 70 reaper normally
How do I stop my friend from constantly sending me random modbeasts
He says he hates them but keeps following them on twitter I think he has a thing
Man 3 pieces of gear is a suprising amount of health
What the hell is that

damn mfs cant do arena split for shit
holy moly
like they even made it brain dead bro
Can I submit an enrage request for m10s if my static doesn’t make it to enrage by Sunday
I’m not gonna bother learning the cheese because it feels like something SE will patch
I still wanna do it myself I just don’t think I’ll get into parties bc of tomestone
idk join my old fc and you probably can
I can't ur on aether
gg
I can prob help on sunday or something but yeah
idk how much I'm gonna want to play the game depending on how the rest of reclears go tomorrow
.5% wipe
I think ur just traumatized
tbh I kinda wish reclears didnt exist
I just wanna week 1 prog
then have 0 obligations until next patch

rip game
yeah
but i really shouldnt because i got through it comparatively fast
how are you trauamatized, you got thru the wall
very quickly
people beyond week 1 should be traumatized
tew liter deffo never gonna be the same again
forever!!!!
you feel fine now but once you go into m11s....
I just know 
m11s feels more like i'm working a job than playing a game

That bad?
no not like crashout shit lol just if it takes a while I prob wanna just chill instead of grinding more
week 2 reclear pains are gonna be real
Not week 2
Bro has never played XIV
Simply vanish from the internet when it's time to do reclears
coming off of week 1 where you're info overloaded on 4 fights that you're generally not entirely comfortable with by the time you clear
not really
We cleared 11 one time and it was with 3 deaths, why would next time we instance in be clean
You plan for around 90m per fight as a good pace
arena split clean up party cant even do the fucking first arena split
Idk this is my first time savage raiding and my only reclear was vamp 😭
If you 2 shot a fight nice
But if you do it’s normally final fight
and it was a one shot
vamp is an easy fight though
But yeah that’s fair chiyo it sounded like one of those “10 has hands, 4 of them” messages
i wasn't aware there was an ulti project equivalent for savage
so are bj bros
that's something my fc does internally
ok but vamp is much easier
i cant speak for tyrant but yeah
bc it's like 500 members and we have a handful of hc raiders
thats at least 2 ezpz reclears
Just say you’re my alt idc
Link my tomestone
granted we lost like 5 pulls to a different person DCing each time
i mean also you're new to savage so you can prob find out pretty soon
“Hmm I think the strategy that will make us do more damage is not a good idea because we died!”
we still did better than mr happy group who couldn't even get past m12p1 in 2 reclear nights
DN barely got past m11s on their first reclear night. Even world prog teams got issues
one shot reclears do happen but they're not the norm in PF
maybe they all turned off cactbot
Why is rdm acting like first gcd buffs are hard for it
It’s literally the same as ur normal opener but earlier
me when i have to press any of my buttons in a slightly different order
wait im dying
drift tech by 30s
and dont die
boss still dies
:)
@clear plume wanna see a funny pf



ez game
Ok but tbf Ucob is harder than seeing ecliptic
it’s definitely not
Might consider switching from GNB to PLD 🥴
But playing PLD gives like no aura i fear lol
Hopefully the BiS is the same
i'd switch classes but i am not a coward
and definitely not because im already 777 and ppl would be annoyed
imo
As a Dark knight in near bis
It is really funny I went from 773 to 777 in one night
got accessories?
poggers
im hoping to clear tonight
In 2 clears of M9S I have gotten exactly 0 accessories the the funniest part
Yeah of the barrier variety
the shield kitty
i guess ill gear up blm....
hi chiyo
9 books are pretty useless after a (short) while ngl
10 11 12 you need for augments and weapons constantly
hi
yeah unless you wanna gear like 5 billion jobs
for some reason
mm accessories
yum yum yum
actually idk if I wanna gear blm, vpr, or nin
im only gonna gear brd and rdm
as an alt raid class
prob gonna use rdm for the ult when it comes
I've won 0 accessories and finally cleared m10s and won 3 pieces of loot. I actually feel a bit mean having stolen over half the loot
Head arms and the accessory upgrade
Meow
please tell me healer uses head and gloves
Head gloves and boots actually
oh wow that's
actually perfect then
gearing my brd is so fucked wdym i have to grind tomes for an extra week because skill speed
💔
i had to get tome necklace bro
The only tome piece on left for healer (or at least scholar) is Body
Scholar is like 4 tome pieces and two of them is rings
Although I don't mind a little bit of piety even if it's slightly unoptimal so I'm probably not even gonna use double ring
technically 7 if you need to fuck with ur sks like i did
Piety is nice when you have to rez people
made it to ecliptic stampede after an entire lockout
true but im not very smart ok
I'm probably gonna do some m11s prog but I'm certainly not clearing it this week
its ok 1 week is wtv
i got you with the uptime orbital omen tech look
i think you can tell which pieces are being replaced
it was fun learning that the 780 tome piece i bought was a slight loss vs pentamelded 770
by tomes
pop sprint 💯
sprint always got my back
vro u live in nyc just go get a burger
I just got home from mcdondalds
i got mcdonalds after my magic the gathering evcent
niko ur cute
u know that

i won 1st place 
cuter than chiyo
the nearest mcdonalds is like a mile away do I care enough to go walk to mcdonalds at 2am
Bro went to lorewyn prerelease
dont tell us where u live im gonna use my lb
okay
What's the macro command to say something in chat?
it's just /p insert text
if party chat
I could fuck up a takeout box of cha siu rn
man I grew up thinking it kinda sucked
then I found out when I was older that it just sucked because my mom always asked for the lean cuts

Sweet I'm gonna make a meme macro for my m9s reclears it's gonna be really funny
im clear ready bro
just gotta start potting to spoof up the passport a lil
do I pause my steam download for that image to load
yes
why does he look like he skipped leg day
Whenever I take my cage in hell in a cell I'm gonna go "despite all my rage I'm still just a cat in a cage"
ok fine
i want kbbq
its a pld
do you think they work out
I used to like kbbq but i get really annoyed at smelling like it for the rest of the day
so no more
Man the panda armor is like, the most mmo-y armor in this game
ngl the abyssos gear is pretty hot and sexy
yeah this is real
yeah and its fire
also you can't wear that hoodie you wore until you do laundry
(it is literally fire)

i get around that by getting kbbq before i sleep and not for lunch
I have a hoodie that I wear specifically for kbbq because I don't like it that much
I've wanted to make something with the panda sets but I don't want to farm panda lel
some of the chests are very bright i dont know if i fw
fending/maiming are nice but they're almost the same as last tier
Green is sorta my main color now
burps
I get to finally take off my green swimsuit tho, at least until I do M10S reclears
really
yeah
fending and maiming just look like the same from last tier
uuh scouting is buns
Picture?
just straight buns
Oh from uh current raids I thought we were still talking about panda
lol
I might actually make another scholar fit
I only have 2 the one I've used for ever and a swimsuit remix
Then again plates are annoyingly limit and I need to make a bard glam soonish
Ra'Kaznar Bow?
for what
wait TONIGHT?
girl are you an east coaster
anyways
its 7am for me
unfortunately I already cleared that raid so I'm waiting for yall to hop onto the next one lol
get a load of this guy
...we're talking about Vamp, right?
what else would i be talking about man
yeah I cleared so I could get some practice in for the Xtremes
only meeting on Saturdays n Sundays kinda hurts honestly
my static only meets tuesday wednesday 😭
can we swap schedules
yea actually
reminded me to fanta back to a cat tomorrow morning
i dunno honestly
i love being a giraffe but I'm still awaiting the day I return to hrothgar lol
errrrr uhhhh i dunno i guess
the meower
Meow
I'd offer to join but I already did my M9S reclear
And also job
And also SCH is the only geared job I have
im hoping to swap to dragoon this tier cuz uh uh reaper suggs i learnt and dragoon is cool
luckily my gear is like identical
I'm sad reaper is like the 2nd or 3rd worse job in the game it's so cool
unless you're hc progging there's not really a reason to care
picked up reaper cuz a scythe is objectively cool. come to learn it just fails to impress in terms of the other dps
hey atleast jumping around with a spear is pretty cool i think
plus dragons n shii
the rotation for dragoon feels really nice to use
swapping between 5 button rotations and weaving all the ogcds yum yum
Honestly tho my biggest complaint with Reaper is that gallows, gibbet and guillotine should just transform from your 123 combo instead of being their own buttons
Same with arcane circle and plentiful harvest
we hate soulsow
that would be a huge qol feature for it, considering if you can proc gallows etc., if you hit any other ability it just gets rid of your stack to do those buttons
damn the alexandria zone is surprisingly detailed even outside the areas that you can normally go
why is soulsow even a button
that's just the same concept as like
breaking a combo
HAVE YOU HEARD, PRINCESS SPEEN IS HERE
they've decided keeping your combo active is something that should stay in the game, I don't really see why more failure conditions need to go ngl
especially for a job that's already kinda light on buttons
idk my complaint with reaper is that im lazy and i dont like applying death design twice every minute just to get 10% damage when dragoon gets it in their combo
Because it's annoying and you already can't even press 123 during enshroud anyway
Not to mention you still keep the failure stat since you need to alternate anyway
it would be cool if death design was a dot but its not so womp womp
Death design is fine
it's functionally the same thing
they should really just make it one button that cleaves though
I wouldn't mind that

I dunno I wanna play reaper more but it's pretty annoying to set it's buttons up with how I normally have my buttons
I don’t think their goal is to have jobs that split gear actually play similar, if you like how drg does something more, play drg and all that
i do now play drg
Same here with sam as well. My layout works fine for most jobs with maybe some changes but rpr and sam make it annoying to fit in
so far I feel like summoner is the one thats annoying to set up buttons
Yeah tho Sam I don't really have a solution for whereas RPR I think would benefit a lot from the option for gallows, gibbet and guillotine to just be modifiers to your 123 combo
Really SMN was real easy for me helps that it has like no buttons
purple
I just assumed I would get more summons with as many buttons as carbuncle
and was like
ourple
how tf do I plan for this
I hate my pct layout cause there's so many gaps inbetween stuff and it's annoying to look at
pct is so baron...
Carby on has like one button for each one
I can put cds wherever I wanna track them independent of what they're bound to
cds nuts
SMN I think has the fewest buttons in the game you can almost play it with 2 hotbars
pct is surprisingly complicated for me with how little buttons there are. keeping track of all your cds making sure you dont cap
wow, that's 1 more than the number of fingers you need
I really should start moving alt q and e to my regular hotbar instead of mount/sprint cause that's prime real estate
I typically keep my mount on B and sprint on M4
Got some buffs on my mouse buttons
EVERYTHING BUUUUURNS
holy shit, the raidwides in m12s1 do not fuck around
What's the DPS requirement for m12s1 and m12s2
I only have two mouse buttons in use so 6 buttons tied to it total 3 of them are always Sprint, Pot and LB
ok lets see, boss has 104600000 HP
Not sure if this is an appropriate venue to ask, but it’s still about endgame.
I’m currently in early EW. But I’m aiming to be in current patch by May/June. If I want to prepare myself to potentially do EX and Savage in 8.0, do I want to start with DT high end or would EW synced be ok for getting accustomed to modern high end content?
just go straight into endgame DT, start with doomtrain to get your weapon, then you can try M9S and maybe M10S
My only EX experience is Ultima Weapon and Shiva.
What class are you playing
If it's something that doesn't change much between 90 and 100, then I would highly recommend starting to learn your rotation now
That way you don't need to practice it before going into extremes/savage
I would just go into DT ex since you'll have your whole kit
ok, so enrage is 7:07
Same, I got the two side and middle
Mains are MNK/MCH/RDM/GNB/SGE but I haven’t settled on one, nor do I have extensive experience with any of them outside of leveling dungeons and trials.
That's a lot of mains
you will definitely want to settle on one sooner rather than later
those are all different gearsets with no gear in common
I’m leaning toward SGE or RDM.
I think later is fine you'll want to probably settle before going into savage but not knowing by the time you ex is fine
I would argue you don't really have a good idea of how a job plays until you play It in at least ex
yeah until you start properly playing the job
True for casters for sure
healers are eh, you mostly just get more healing shit
All those jobs are also hella underleveled too. My highest is 86 DRG right now but I don’t like the job as much as I thought.
I think it's true for all the jobs but especially supports
Why does it say you have a level 68 archer and a level 62 thaumaturge 😂
That is a lot of partially leveled jobs
Complete msq first
Uh huh. I’m at almost 1000 hours.
yeah, so you're like, 58 RDM
I mean completing MSQ then leveling jobs should be the play
But uh if you wanna level other jobs to where DRG is then by all means
That wouldn't give you a decent understanding of how RDM plays at say, 100
Yep
Queue into Frontlines as the job of your choice, swap to Bard, make everyone hate you, level your job of choice
frontline leveling mentioned
That's what I do :)
people actually level in frontlines? 😭
Yes?
No I mean like
For once a day roullete
spamming frontline for exp
No
(it's me)
(I'm the psychopath who leveled WHM through PvP)
tbf it was when whm was uber busted
infinite c2
giant death lazer combo
good times
Its one of the best exp roulettes?
Now level Bard because it's uber busted
as an mch I exclusively target bards
Same but I have leveled a lot less jobs lel
because they deserve all my love and attention
I know I’m jumping the gun but I’m just looking toward the future since it’s coming quickly.
most raids are fun when you dont have to deal with average pf behavior
was refering to spamming frontlines for the exp
M11S looks fun I'll see how that opinion changes once I start doing it
Raids are actually fun when a) your party is solid and b) they're willing to fix their mistakes instead of repeatedly eating shit
I think my white whale right now is SoS EX. But normal was hell enough the first time. I’d feel like a fuckin legend if I cleared EX synced.
wew old synced EXs
I did normal blind and made good friends with the floor
People don't do those very often as most ppl tend to want the mounts
SoS?
Seat of Sacrifice.
Oh that's a real old one
TO ME MY WARRIORS OF LIGHT
Warrior of blight
The times I did not have fun in a static environment was when my static went blind for two tiers and never bothered to ask me how I felt about it, therefore no alignment checks and my eventual departure, as well as one static I trialed for being so bad that I had to tell them they were bad and nothing would convince me to stay with them
The 2 minute mid battle cut scene
And yeah, they broke up
AINT NO WAY THATS THE DPS CHECK OF M12S
Is SoS the hardest trial in the game mechs wise?
I can't imagine how annoying that would be to prog
No
Almost certainly not
Kinda hard to say...since I didn't do any shb ex synced
What gets that dubious honor, then?
that would be cape westwind
Well all shb trials suck due to mid cutscenes
I've heard Zelenia was a pain
Zalenia is piss easy
Didnt do necron so I can't comment on it
Ramuh seems to be up there.
The other issue being different jobs have harder or easier times in different fights
I am salvation given form! Mankind’s first hero…and his final hope!
Example tanking necron ex is a lot easier then healing
Honestly rating the extremes is difficult for any savage raider because there's a lot of them and they are fairly easy in comparison to most savage stuff

Also yeah it can vary from role to role
👉 🌹
“Warriors of Light… WRECK THIS PF’S EVERLOVING SHIT!”
Zelenia harder than the past 2 ngl
Barbaricia and golbez ex were on higher end of difficulty
Comparing solo add phase from necron between healer and tank is funny
Ngl
I noticed something. Aside from Aetheric Booms, Ultima EX feels almost identical to Porta Decumana. Was this always the case?
yes, that is arr content design
The shb weps are ultima copy
honestly you could try unreals
Make sense they would have its mech too
old ex trials scaled up to level 100 roughly
Porta decu is ultima normal mode
Unreal is a good starting point for harder content Seiryu was the first high end I did and it felt like a decent introduction
Tsukoyami probably less so
Like the Aetheric Booms have to be soaked by a tank in the EX I think? I made the mistake of trying to soak one as DPS and blew up.
damn, and now you've already cleared a couple savage floors?
The first two easy floors but yeah
wtf is unreal

Old ex scaled to 100
Anyway to be completely fair to that static, much of their high-end content exposure was Chaotic and they had no idea what they were getting into, but they were punching way above their grade by trying to scout me

Do them twice weekly for rewards
idyllshire*
But so many red flags that I would not consider them at all unless they genuinely improved
Idllyshire
Wth?????
It gets a station next to wondrous tails
You dont see it in pf?
So I need practice. I suppose I should run stuff like Werlyt/Four Lords? Normal at first, but..
Its at bottom
yeah, imagine having djura in your static
Of listings
I've literally only ever looked for train and M9S in pf so far
my first highend was ex3
I mean I'd finish the story first and foremost
True
PF shittery aside, it went much better than I anticipated for myself
But as I said, they were punching way above than what they were used to
I tried a static for a bit and decided I'd either need to find a mid/hardcore static and actually dedicate a good chunk of time to rolling with them or just go back to no lifing PF
I chose the latter
Among their red flags included using M6S for the trial as well as much of them having zero experience with Savage and billing themselves as a mid-hardcore/soft-hardcore static
One of the tanks had hidden logs too
It was a great first impression
I will either raid with an hc static or not at all because frankly I'd rather have my teeth pulled out and be forced to eat them than try to seriously prog in pf
But curiosity demanded that I see how bad
I wan hc static who are sweaty but then my own performance dont match it...conundrums of life
this is logical

skill issues are the easiest fix tbf
u guys are crazy I just joined a chill casual static and it turns out we have a lot of similar interests
Yeah, of course I need to finish MSQ. Other concern I have is I work nights and I’m only really active at night or early morning Tuesday/Wednesday nights or Thursday mornings. So prog would be an issue for me.
The whole list of high end I've done is: EX5, EX6, EX7, 7.3 unreal, 7.4 unreal, M5S, M9S, M10S
Smart
I joined a casual static once when I would have considered myself casual, but my goals changed over time
I left that due to conflicting goals and expectations, as well as no attempts to align them
it's not even a clear early thing for me although I am very much interested in clearing early, it's just so much more efficient and less of a waste of time+effort
I've also done a few older ex but those don't really count for anything
Normals are pretty worthless for getting into high-end, but you'll need to clear them anyway to unlock the extremes
I wouldn't have touched ex at all if it wasn't for the DT wings
genuine peak mounts
I've done uh,
Too many exs to count
E9/10/11/12-1
P1/2/3/4-1
P5/6/7/8-1
P9/10
M1/2/3/4-1
M9/10/11
and like, P1 TEA
why
I have no real interest in clearing as early as possible, my only real interest is not dealing with blind prog in week 50,000 as if I'm dealing with Dora the Explorer
we spent less time to clear the whole tier than a lot of people did pfing m11s, that's the kind of time I have zero intention of wasting
they fun
I just don't have much interest
I like high end because the combat is good part of the game
Statics are hard to find especially with the amount I want to play vs the experience I have
having a static would require me to play the game more though cuz I'd have obligations to fulfill... like getting gear! /s
Otherwise not much to do
I wish we had a savage/EX equivalent for dungeons. I know Criterion exists, but..
tho I do plan to farm the other exs during 7.5
I mean I say casual static but that doesn't mean we're braindead :') we just don't spend as much time per week progging as the so called hardcore ones
why but, that's exactly it :D at least the EW ones
yeah people have been asking for mythic dungeons since 2.0 dropped probably
I'd want to play like a bit less then hc but more then midcore
DT ones are unfortunately just boss fights but welp
we have criterion dungeons! which were really fun! until square decided they needed to turn them into yet another boss rush mode this expansion!

Like Mythic Castrum Abania would be hell.
Who needs adds bruh
have you done criterion adds?
"who needs adds" take from someone who has never done adds that require effort
trust me
Doesnt matter still
you don't want mythic dungeons
so I guess that's a no :D
stormblood story ultimate to feature 1 billion magitek soldiers
Whether I like adds or not
and be a 90% aoe fight
I meant Mythic 0, not Mythic+
Se isnt gonna add it
I've done criterion minus's
my current roommates mental health deteriorated progging keys
Add what? We're saying they shouldn't have removed adds from criterion
Mythic in terms of difficulty, not keystones.
At least she was #1 on her server 🥴
what isnt a rabbit hole in a game where gear becomes irrelevant every 8 months
That's not true you can still use old gear for glams
The point is se themselves dont like adds...why else would they remove it?
ah true true
Did playerbase as a whole dislike it?
what do mythic dungeons include anyways?
I mean from what I know is that they can keep increasing in difficulty
How do you know that? Criterion adds were 10/10
harder dungeon bosses and trash pulls, usually a new mech on the boss, and trash will hit like a truck so u gotta know what ur pulling and doing as a tank
My knowing is irrelevant bruh
Everyone I know that actually cleared criterion loved the adds
I myself quit any real raiding in WoW after legion
They didnt added it this expac
seeing ppl complain about ppl in pf who are kicking 'low dps' players lol. clearly these ppl aren't aware of how many fucking players are just doing like 60% of the expected damage.
I mean they keep putting adds in stuff so they can't hate it that much
yeah because SE is known for making great decisions with regards to combat design
M6S has adds, but sure, SE hates adds
Like I said..why remove it then?
U get ur adds in add phase 🙂 enjoy
Because they're dumb and don't understand why people enjoyed criterion? :D
The number of WHM I consistently beat in nDPS
half the morons who did criterion complained about the adds btw
they really didn't
It's not like they're known for making sensible decisions considering forked tower on release, were they learned fuck all apparently
literally every criterion enjoyer I know thinks the adds are the best part
because they are
Yeah m11s is gonna be hell to clear cuz I feel like all the less serious raiders boutta show up now that theyve beaten m10s
even if the bosses are also great
(It's me, I'm the moron)
Yeah se choices arent always foresighted
Mythic 0 is just straight hard mode. Mythic+ is timed and operates on the keystone system. Your keystone grows with every successful clear. Enemies have special affixes/buffs that change every content season.
but also Square Enix needs to stop listening to armchair game devs
im assuming sch player
Mythic 0 wasn’t even hard though tbh…
this also includes YouTubers people source their "opinions" from
Criterion adds actually requiring thinking is what made them great
Yeah for savage I decided on scholar
Damn I think I know why they hate it
multipulling criterion adds was fucking peak
30 second bleed and 1hp mechanic at the same time
holy shit
And you also can’t queue for Mythic, gotta PF it.
the superior barrier healer mainly because free sprint
Although I do feel a bit like I betrayed WAR tho
Also there was literally no actual gear that you would ever use in your bis that dropped
Just cosmetics
Best use for expedience is using it while everyone is running towards the edge of the arena so half the team falls off
how many times have you done that?
I mean it's better for a lot more reasons then that lol
No comment
apologies as a dps player that is the only difference I can notice
I'm usually on the receiving end from my statics scholar lmao
Honestly the movement is a nice bonus but not really that important in my experience
you got the tip of the iceberg which is spreadlo then the part that's just under the water which is disjoint healing with the fairy and manual placement and then the shit that's all the way under like soil actually being 18s/600p regen and fairy ai manipulation
Adding "PF being generally competent" to the list of things that will never happen in our lifetimes, among them world peace and world hunger being solved
ultimate trophy weapons in m11s
I have had sch use expidience just for movement
Why does your TM Opera pic remind me of a chicken nugget?
alongside cooly good takes
Its useful depending on scenario
because it is
it's part of why sch is challenging
it's TM Opera Crow
but expedience is pretty strong. movement speed for like 10s + 20s 10% mit
do you think he's watching somewhere
It's a nice bonus for sure
it's a mit first sprint second but hey sometimes you don't need mit so I can just press it to go zoom
im always watching
He's here in spirit
man im kinda glad I didnt heal this tier
sometimes the sprint is actively grief and people die because you pressed it
that's fun too
his spirit lives on as every rprs avatar
And hey sometimes you want MIT and speed at the same time
i can tell you that even without playing sch this tier that expedience would be amazing for m11s weapon phase
for example
sorta seems like hell but at the very least its quite rare to get a healer that actually just lets you die because everyone is taking so much damage that they just overheal
I like placing it at deep aerial really handy for the people moving the tethers
yeah
