[stray forge]

Mods

Smite chiyo

[zealous meteor]

its fucking wild how chinese is considered a single language when each dialect is more distinct than many european languages

[fierce matrix]

I cant ban him for making fun of himself

[jolly flume]

thats not even me

thats the guy we were explaining chinese racism to

[fierce matrix]

Why the fuck

Does he have a traditional chinese farmer's hat

I want someone DEAD

https://tenor.com/view/hayase-yuuka-blue-archive-desk-slam-anger-gif-9924102004262469214

[trim frost]

i mean thats mainly just because of the government standardizing putonghua among such a massive fucking region of the world but most dialects are similar enough in structure/terminology/etc to be considered dialects or neighbor languages

[thin fox]

You know what I need for my caster alt

[thin fox]

I need to level and gear a melee

so that I can join double melee parties

and swap to caster

[fierce matrix]

Its not just Vietnamese

[trim frost]

its kinda like how a lot of eastern european languages are similar to each other but because of Politics™ they're generally considered distinct languages

[fierce matrix]

Its almost all asian cultures

[zealous meteor]

yeah

[jolly flume]

fuck my disgusting c(antonese)hungus life

[fierce matrix]

I said chinese cause they were discussing china ig

[stray forge]

Fuzhou and canto are definitely nothing like mando

[worn bluff]

a lot of people get enough exposure to both canto and mando to where they kind understand the other

[jolly flume]

a lot of the words sound similar enough across the east asian languages that it's not that hard to guess

[stray forge]

I meant origin but it’s unimportant

[jolly flume]

my mandarin is pretty shit tho ngl

Which just ended with me not learning any of them

🙂

[trim frost]

you need cultural immersion brother

[stray forge]

I tried to teach myself writing and gave up so fast

[jolly flume]

it doesn't help that like 90% of the restaurants and bakeries we go to are cantonese too

I barely even know how to write anymore lol

[trim frost]

can you at least write your own name

[jolly flume]

my japanese and kanji is better than my mandarin

yea ofc

[stray forge]

Holy fucking weeb

🥀

[trim frost]

i need to sit down and (re)learn bopomofo

[jolly flume]

sue me the language sounds cooler

[trim frost]

i studied it when i was like four and forgot everything

[jolly flume]

I took a semester of korean too but the vowels and double consonants are too indistinguishable to my ears

gg go next

[worn bluff]

it's interesting how a lot of JP words sound more similar to cantonese than mandarin

[jolly flume]

yeah they do

lol

[worn bluff]

Lmaoooo nerds have fake Chinese names

[jolly flume]

the gentrification of cheap asian foods is something I could write a phd thesis on

[stray forge]

[stray forge]

Look at this loser doesn’t live near a Chinatown/flushing

[rapid whale]

idk what to say

[stray forge]

There’s still $2 boba up in here

[worn bluff]

[trim frost]

so happy for you ig

[stray forge]

I don’t really like boba though tbh

[trim frost]

me neither

lychee jelly >

[stray forge]

I prefer the jelly

Then there’s the weird cheese drink craze

[worn bluff]

how about pudding

[jolly flume]

the chinese bakery down the street makes viet coffee

that and a pineapple bun >>

[stray forge]

euro

I’m so confused

[trim frost]

depends on the drink

[stray forge]

I thought this channel was in a Chinese era

[worn bluff]

taro boba with pudding

[stray forge]

But can it really be called an era if you’ve been Chinese since you were born

[zealous meteor]

...oh the server got un-padoru'd

[stray forge]

Fucking scammers

[trim frost]

taro boba is for the evil straight men

[worn bluff]

[zealous meteor]

im in my european era personally

[whole estuary]

dialects are interesting because some dialects from older parts of China have closer pronunciation to Japanese than putonghua

for certain words

[worn bluff]

there was also a big amount of like

reverse transfer from japan to chinese words

during the time of the japanese empire

[jolly flume]

time to get back to the endfield grind

[clear plume]

Lmao

[worn bluff]

if they care that much about comp why aren’t they locking DRK for LB cheese

[craggy marsh]

After seeing up to arena split in m11 I think the fight difficulty was an exaggeration just a little bit

He still hits like a tank tho

But the mechs are kinda fine

[stray forge]

i think its

[stray forge]

due to enrage

I only have 5 holoblades

[craggy marsh]

Calm your nerves

But the whole world is watching

[craggy marsh]

Maybe I can have Rin prog lie for me in m12

[clear plume]

That’s such a huge nothingburger drama honestly

I hate rin bc he griefed me but

That’s on party leader if you’re going to get mad about it

[craggy marsh]

Ya

XIV and nothingburger dramas are weird

However I will say it's funny how Rin can't stop being involved in something every single raid tier/ultimate

[clear plume]

You can’t have both ways of I needed a body right now so I’ll give you a chance, and I regret giving you that chance so actually you’re wrong for it and it’s not on me

[craggy marsh]

Man is incapable of making himself look good

Party lead should've just removed them

It's all on them really

[clear plume]

The weirdest part is that the logs r public

You say in the post that you entered right before reset

But pulls started at 12:13 (fflogs uses local time for me) and reset wasn’t for 45m

You could have fully realized they were griefing after 5 pulls and still had time to kick and rep

[kind elm]

[stray forge]

but yeah

m11s hasnt seemed terrible

that being said

my fresh prog group isn't being consistent enough to make it back to ult weps

[storm frost]

What floor drops what?

There is no loot RNG in a full loot clear aside from the direct weapon drop on the final floor and all drops are guaranteed. There will always be one of each item listed below, unless:

• 1-4 players have cleared the fight for the week, which gives reduced loot (see below)
• 5 or more players have cleared the fight for the week, which results in no chests.
  Note! Skipping a fight, even by just entering the instance of a later fight, will count as having cleared any previous fights in the tier for that week.

First Floor:
Earrings + Necklace + Bracelet + Ring Coffer
Reduced loot: Two random accessory coffers (no dups)

Second Floor:
Helm + Gloves + Boots Coffer
Right side upgrade + Tome weapon token
Reduced loot: One Helm/Glove/Boot Coffer + Tome weapon token

Third Floor:
Leg + Chest Coffer
Left side upgrade + Tome weapon upgrade
Reduced loot: Leg or Chest Coffer

Fourth Floor:
Weapon Coffer
Random weapon + Mount + Orchestrion + Minion
Reduced loot: Random weapon + minion

[cerulean crown]

3rd floor is leg or chest coffer when reduced, looks like

[limpid edge]

Hey that not bad

1 chest parties it is

[worn bluff]

a lot of crafters don't realize this

intermediates sometimes sell better than final product

and less work if you're farming them up yourself anyways

[boreal pumice]

arr faction quests are so bad 10 rep?

[sinful brook]

You're supposed to do multiple NPCs of quests a day

[stray forge]

ye

just annoying how it naturally interacts with the limit of 12, and I think the later ones unlock once you get higher in rep

[sinful brook]

How I did it was I did all 4 rank 1 NPCs until rank 2

Then did 3 rank 2s and 3 rank 1 of a tribe

[whole estuary]

that's the most efficient way if you plan to do all of them

instead of all in on 1 society at a time

[sinful brook]

And then 1 rank 3( all their NPCs) and flexed the last 3

[tame shuttle]

Channers

[stray forge]

im trying to plan it out so I can even them out since I'm finishing hw and sb ones too

higher skilled players wouldnt care

lower skilled player would be mega misogyny mode

theres probably way more nuance to it

Like simps vs dickheads too

in like3000 words

[whole estuary]

norvegian

[trim frost]

weaker mainly in just that they do fewer rounds of encryption or whatever not necessarily in principles

[trim frost]

sometimes i wonder if it's just that other people are kinda dog at writing that makes my own writing look more elevated

i don't think i'd get as high of marks if i was an english major or something

[kind elm]

no thats so real

i got away with so much shit in english in middle and high school because

i was the most fluent in the language in my class

and i wrote some bulll fucking shit

and got away with it because everyone else had worse writing overall

for my middle school final exam i had to write some shitty short story and i wrote the most dogshit heinous crime against fiction in human history

full 100

i think the entire 100 was carried by my usage of the word "juxtaposition" im ngl

[rain geode]

When I was in middle school they changed how grades worked so I turned in nothing but no one knew what was going on so I got to pass anyway

So I spent the entire year playing OSRS on the school laptops

[kind elm]

i miss my high school english teacher

hes the coolest mf

he had us play Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes in class to improve communication skills

best school class ive ever done

shit was hilarious

[trim frost]

i have a core memory of writing some bullshit ass pantoum poem about seasons in fourth grade and my teacher was like "this is so fuckin good lois" and showed it to the principals (????) and my parents

and i think it was just because the rest of the class just wrote about i like ice cream or whatever

[kind elm]

i mean

tbh

i do like ice cream.

[rain geode]

I have basically 0 good school memories

[dapper zealot]

how am I supposed to have 3 saber dances in my opener lmao

[kind elm]

watching some of my static members do some off hour pf

they got a warrior which tried to take the wall of fire solo with just bloodwhetting

and used no mit on either raw steel

he didnt last long in the party.

enrage to clear btw

[dapper zealot]

that's the new meta strat obviously

[boreal pumice]

[worn bluff]

what happens if they mess up

[trim frost]

they out

[low hearth]

whats the rdps needed for m12sp1?

https://www.fflogs.com/reports/a:WXVHK4pC1Y6DbJy9?fight=23&type=damage-done

this fight sucks ass bruh

[jolly flume]

245k

your sage might be ill

they didnt even fucking die

[low hearth]

bruh

[deep gale]

It's always the goddam healers

(source: the healer)

[random needle]

T-pose to assert dominance

[stray forge]

im ill

whys every group trophy weapon cleanup

[worn bluff]

that’s the entirety of M11 PF

[sleek moon]

winning

[jolly flume]

no it literally is

I would put my life on 75% of m11s enrages being largely caused by subpar healers

[finite plank]

it's true

then there are outliers that i see such as... someone unfortunately rabbiting kassatsu on a 0.1% enrage for m11s....

maybe it was 0.1, but it was sub 1%

i swear it's not me

[jolly flume]

see if I did that

seppuku

[finite plank]

someone's 0.01% enrage on jan 12

[stray forge]

reasons why i am never going to main ninja. EVER

[jolly flume]

kassatsu suiton

lol

their ice shurikens melted into a puddle

[finite plank]

my uptime for m11s is probably going to stay on 94-96% at this rate for not wanting to roll gcds during arena split i think, or i think it counted the times i was stuck in the air

so... how do you guys deal with 2ms in p2

[jolly flume]

swap to the uptime strat where you have defamations 90 degrees apart instead of opposite lol

[finite plank]

yeah, we've been doing that

i've been thinking about the burst window past 2m however

[jolly flume]

and for the 2s during staging we should be able to hold buffs 2 gcds so they go out after the defamations are able to gapclose back to boss

[finite plank]

is it better to hold untill 2:15 or 2:20?

[jolly flume]

that's the low hanging fruit I can think of

[finite plank]

i was doing this shit to have a chance to hyosho at enrage castbar as it'll be lost if i hold

i believe i should be holding now if it dies before it but still

[true beacon]

another pf creature

[jolly flume]

I mean I don't think we'll remotely have a chance of seeing enrage cast on a decent pull so I just dont account for that eventuality

we saw enrage cast on our split kill this week but that was with 4 alts 2 deaths 4 dds

[finite plank]

i see...

[dapper zealot]

that's just griefing

[flint ledge]

750 is wild

[dapper zealot]

That's not even 'kinda low' that's below min ilvl

[finite plank]

... i keep looking at logs and it... makes it more confusing on whether i should do a 2:15 hold

[flint ledge]

i have better gear and i havent touched a piece of lvl100 content since may

[autumn knoll]

farming edens promise eternity savage, party finder feel free to join

[flint ledge]

😭

[river sequoia]

So for doom train, the towers mechanic is it full party -> MT -> OT -> MT?

[finite plank]

usually, yes unless you have a pld involved

is there a third tower?

i dont remember

[jolly flume]

one tower on the car you come back from intermission is party
tower on the arcane car is mt
tower on the psychokinesis car is ot

idk if there's even one after that because we kill at the start of the last car every time

[river sequoia]

Theres one on the 6th car

[finite plank]

it's just another arcane revelation i believe

except it'll be dead before last arcane revelation

[river sequoia]

Dps check usually tho

[finite plank]

if there's a tower after last arcane revelation, i certainly don't remember

[river sequoia]

There is

[jolly flume]

nobody in the history of people who can push buttons has seen that

I don't think we even saw that on the pulls where we had like double digit deaths lol

[low hearth]

https://www.fflogs.com/reports/a:HrKyMaYDv7z6g9cF?fight=16&type=damage-done

dang we almost enraged

healers TROLLING

[finite plank]

the aquaveil is tragic considering how hard mortal slayer tbs hit tank

[quick verge]

twizz why is half ur pt grey

[finite plank]

.... shouldn't it be easy to get uptime on sage

the whm i can somewhat get 93%

[finite plank]

but sage has free movement neutral tools no?

[jolly flume]

it sucks if you get 3x knockbacks at the end but it doesnt suck enough to get 84%

[low hearth]

i die without tbn 🥀

aquaveil diff bruh

[quick verge]

3x knockback is 2x knockback

which is like a few gcds lost at most

[finite plank]

does sage not get toxicon for party shields?

[jolly flume]

this was a 3x knockback pattern

[finite plank]

there's a shit ton of damage

[jolly flume]

and its still 97%

so theyre just bots

[dapper zealot]

only if yours breaks

[finite plank]

i see, but it will definitely break in p1 during that large amount of damage

the yshould have toxicon for movement, even the knockback hurts

[jolly flume]

you won't always always have one but

like I said

no amount of knockbacks gets you to 84%

theyre just ass

[low hearth]

no bis bruh

[jolly flume]

bis doesnt make u gray

[low hearth]

dead ahh?

[jolly flume]

no

[low hearth]

im using the chud standard opener instead of the first gcd stuff

[jolly flume]

we can get mid high greens in full crafted late in the tier historically

[finite plank]

i got a 40 on p2 with... 780?

nope, it's a 27, not a 40

it is a 44 with 780 for p1 though

and i'd be competing against ninjas that are fed gear

[jolly flume]

this is my splits alt from LHW since I didnt split last tier

8 was a death

everything else clean pulls

it goes down in 4th floor but still

[low hearth]

so whats the point of the first gcd buff stuff

its like a gain or sum?

[jolly flume]

you get an extra usage of 1ms before the enrage

[low hearth]

oh

lol the sage said he was on ps5

playing the game on the flat screen is lowkey crazy

[jolly flume]

idk that being on a controller stops you from having better than 85% uptime

but pop off

[dapper zealot]

He just needs a better gaming chair

[low hearth]

like sitting on the living room couch fighting Lindwurm in ffxiv 🤔

[jolly flume]

never let the opps win

[quick verge]

controller in xiv means u dont respect the code of gaming i made up in my head

and that makes u both ontologically evil and bad at the game

[stray forge]

holy moly

i am too slow for orbital omen

👵

[quick verge]

grandma emoji meanwhile ur like

29 tops

[stray forge]

🥀

roids for gaming are crazy

but no i have really bad adhd so i already have those

[jolly flume]

well if it makes you feel any better

I have glacial reaction time

bapple is faster than me

and hes like twice my age

and I can still do it

just move on the castbar end and immediately go back

no reactions needed

[stray forge]

tbf I have only gotten there like 3 times

and its always after the party like

wipes 15 times at weapons

even tho its orbital/meteor prog

somehow my ultimate weapons prog groups get farther than the orbital omen prog groups

this needs to be studied

[limpid edge]

book runs gettin trolls too, i aint clearin this shit bro

[finite plank]

https://imgur.com/a/j5YozbI

[limpid edge]

or rather hyper parse lords that greed and fuckup

[deep gale]

I wouldn't know I'm retired (washed)

[limpid edge]

if i see someone w/ BiS die, it's prob a wipe

i hate PF

[kind elm]

we didnt even see 4th tower on release with like 10 deaths

if youre seeing it now theres a biiiiig problem

[dapper zealot]

mhmm addersgall

[limpid edge]

this raidplan is ruining so many runs

[river sequoia]

Doing in practice so

[kind elm]

even then

[limpid edge]

that it's giving false info that gapclosing is bad

[amber fable]

Extreme in week 3 of savage

You wont get many gamers at that point

Not like savage get those anyway

[limpid edge]

even hector adopted that raidplan in his new mini-guide but didnt change the positions

[finite plank]

i still wonder how am i meant to use krasis

!action krasis

[storm frost]

**Krasis** : lvl 86 Sage (60.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Increases HP recovery via healing actions for a party member or self by 20%.
Duration: 10s

Powered by XIVAPI

[deep gale]

Spreadlo

[stray forge]

is there

any way

[finite plank]

it works on spreadlo?

[deep gale]

Yeah

[amber fable]

Party members

[stray forge]

to decrease the size of smn pets

HELP

[finite plank]

/petsize small

probably

[deep gale]

Yeah hit alt+f4 to open the sizing menu

[amber fable]

Just rotate camera so its not taking up screen

[stray forge]

I did this and they said they're banning some person probably named quill

now i have a personal gm

[random needle]

Remember that Krasis affects healing received, not healing delivered, so you want to put it on the person who needs healing. Probably a tank

[dapper zealot]

^good for spot healing or if tank needs extra heals after tb

Is this in general or for savage?

[finite plank]

in ex and harder content

i get protraction... but krasis,,, i never bothered doing a specific euk diag to give a tank a buffed shield for a tb when all i do is just give them kera/tauro and be done with it

[limpid edge]

anyone that cleared m11s back me up on that fireball positioning? Thanks

[finite plank]

well, in the case of 2 way fireball, if you got the vuln and are 2nd in line instead of 3rd or 4th, you will die even if you are a tank

[limpid edge]

i got gaslit into thinking gapclosing was bad

cuz of that raidplan

[finite plank]

other than that.... i think it's closest to bait, gapclosing is fine as long as you remember to peel off

[limpid edge]

nah you shouldnt even need to peel off

[finite plank]

but beaware, multiple people can't be too close incase of pepega ffa baits

[limpid edge]

cuz the baits should be positioning like this

[finite plank]

i suppose that should work

[limpid edge]

gapclose barely touches the outer ring

[finite plank]

but... i dont really remember if we had a priority system for 2 way which is confusing probably

[jolly flume]

mostly I just use it to buff spreadlo or when there's tank damage bc it can buff soteria kardia procs or even haima

[finite plank]

just keep in mind of gap closing when it's 2 way

it will kill a tank if they're 2nd instead of third when taking meteors

[limpid edge]

i mean i have to peel off anyway cuz so many people have that fixed raidplan in their mind

#2 thinks they have to stand max melee

so i have to run farther back

[finite plank]

im more concerned on accidental ffa and having both players be inside the hitbox and bait two way onto one side but that hasn't happened for a while

[limpid edge]

shouldnt happen if people look at the hitbox

any 2/4 way wipers ?

[finite plank]

three times during week 1

two way went to 1 side which made me facepalm

[limpid edge]

hector we need an addendum

ok looks like somoene already noted this yesterday in the comments

[midnight furnace]

Man pf is hell

All M10S party and everything is nearly snaking prog or aerial prog

And when i finally find a clear party its Caster spot is taken

How am i gonna beat this lol

[amber fable]

Go for book run

[limpid edge]

imagine

[worn bluff]

i backed you up on it like 2x now

[limpid edge]

i need some emotional support cuz i got rin'd

the raidplan is rin

[jolly flume]

getting up early tomorrow to go to endfield merch shop

single digit temps waiting in lines for an hour

this'll be fun

[limpid edge]

edit: this a good example of m11s PF is like

hidin that name cuz that aint me

but i can feel the pain

[midnight furnace]

Maybe its the only way yeah

[limpid edge]

just did a book run and there was BiS BLM in the party. Surely dps no problem? Nope we just wipe in split until disband

[midnight furnace]

[amber fable]

My m10 book run had few memes till we replaced tank

[limpid edge]

and i swear our other caster was trolling cuz he was purposely moving away from stacks for some reason

[amber fable]

And cleared in 2 pull

[limpid edge]

but he was prob friends with the party lead so i cant do shit bout it unless i just leave

[midnight furnace]

I wonder what is it that makes snaking so hard for some people

Is it greed or something

[amber fable]

People zone out there I think

[vestal hollow]

people being inflexible morons who cant do two separate sets of mechanics

[midnight furnace]

Was previous last tiers of expac this bad?

(As in Eden Promise or Anabaseios)

[limpid edge]

p10s and m6s were quite the wall in PF

[midnight furnace]

Yeah i can see M6S being very rough

Which is why i didnt try to PF it back then

[limpid edge]

i think last tier was when tomestone became a thing so lots of controversy about it being used ofc

[midnight furnace]

P10S ive heard many horror stories

[tawdry delta]

people say that pf is the worst state its ever been, like every raid tier

[limpid edge]

or was it used in fru i dont remember

[midnight furnace]

I guess its cause i feel like i have a better PF experience when its the first tier of the expac

[jolly flume]

most of the people who complain about pf are no better than pf, they just wanna believe that they are

[midnight furnace]

Like Asphodelos and LHW were nice

[stray forge]

it is

like 90 degrees in here rn

wth

[tawdry delta]

that's cuz first tier is always made easier

[limpid edge]

i'd like to think im better than the average PFer. That's a fair assumption

[jolly flume]

better than 8 degrees outside 😭 😭

everyone likes to think that

[midnight furnace]

Well i admit there are times i do mistakes in M10S, but consistency is hard as always (or some board screwing me ugh)

[stray forge]

im trash at m11s

[limpid edge]

people think they're better than 90% of PF. I am certainly not part of the good PF players

[stray forge]

i just think everyone is more trash

actually thats a lie

i think everyone is trash at different times

which leads to really bad prog

but the same amount of trash

[jolly flume]

I think xeno has shit takes sometimes as much as the next guy

but he was right about players in this game

[midnight furnace]

I like Xeno takes, but i can see why people would be against them

[jolly flume]

everyone complaining about jobs being too easy and homogenized then you put them up against a simple dps check and everyone falls over and cries

[midnight furnace]

But am big fan

[midnight furnace]

Exactly

[limpid edge]

that's why i dont complain bout easy jobs. I like it the way it is

[tawdry delta]

ffxiv pf players struggle with mechanical consistency and execution

more news at 6

[stray forge]

idk what to do anymore

im so tired of 11 prog

[worn bluff]

i think some people aren’t used to a mechanic having a bunch of steps in sequence

especially newer raiders

[stray forge]

but to do anything else i want to do

i have to leave aether

[midnight furnace]

Like i like to play WAR cause its simple and i can play well as a Tank and do mechs

[stray forge]

I HATE AETHER

[worn bluff]

a lot of easier savage mechanics are like “stand in 1-2 spots. then done”

[limpid edge]

tho i am not against some jobs being much harder to play than others, as long as easy jobs can still exist

[stray forge]

I am like

giga trash at ninja

[limpid edge]

and not be too far off dps wise

[midnight furnace]

Hum I guess its because im already used to this by 4 years now

P2S had limit cut oh boi

[jolly flume]

this but specifically the steps having next to no complexity while going off relatively fast and punishing you for being slow to react due to not being one step ahead in your head

[midnight furnace]

This is why i aint against WAR and SMN being the easiest jobs in the game, though i do think SMN can be a bit of a bore when you play it too much

[jolly flume]

there's a concept in aviation called being ahead/behind the aircraft that I like to apply to this game, if you're purely reacting to the fight vs thinking about what you're doing ahead of what's on screen at the moment

[low hearth]

yo m12sp2 kicks ass

[jolly flume]

you're often already in deep shit

[worn bluff]

snaking is like bjcc for babies

[midnight furnace]

The Ultimate Phase?

[worn bluff]

yeah

[stray forge]

what

I feel like you shouldn't need to think about where to go tho

[worn bluff]

in the sense that you have 2 bosses doing some stuff for like a minute and like 6 steps

[midnight furnace]

you kinda do depending on which side you are

[worn bluff]

not as difficult but similar vibes

[stray forge]

tbh in pf you practice these mechs so much it should be second nature

[midnight furnace]

Hot Aerial needs you to pay attention where to go

[limpid edge]

well i knew this aint goin well. People want to position like how it is in fixed

[jolly flume]

a lot of less experienced players will finish one part of a mechanic and be like wait shit what happens next

and then the next mechanic telegraph pops up and now they're a headless chicken

always being one step ahead in the mechanic mentally is where you should be because it decreases the chance of you being slow or forgetting where to go

[worn bluff]

it’s pretty static once you get your color debuff so it’s more being aware of the steps

like the variations are just stacks vs spreads and what side of the arena you move to

[low hearth]

this might be the coolest savage fight ive ever done

ive only done 4 though

[jolly flume]

it is pretty sick

[midnight furnace]

Arcadion very cool

[sleek moon]

man

[stray forge]

[amber fable]

I havent started m11 yet

[sleek moon]

im so tired of the tyrant already and thats with only 88 pulls

[amber fable]

Next week

[sleek moon]

i cant imagine pfers

[jolly flume]

we killed at 86 and I was pretty exhausted by then

[sleek moon]

i legit dont think the positioning is that tight

[jolly flume]

we had bad markers for like 15 of those pulls tho

[sleek moon]

but every time i open duty recorder people are standing nowhere where they are supposed to be

[jolly flume]

for arena split?

[sleek moon]

yeah

[jolly flume]

it's not that precise but you cant be like way off

this big ish

[rapid whale]

Ran more in 11s than the other two tier combined

[sleek moon]

yeah i made some screenshots for my group

since pausing the aoe shows the lines

[jolly flume]

duty recorder works for 11?

[sleek moon]

doesnt show the fire breath people but they just need to hug the wall and not cross the half of the platform getting hit

with the a realm recorded plugin

[jolly flume]

that makes it work for any duty?

[sleek moon]

yeah

well minus deep dungeons

[jolly flume]

useful feature

[sleek moon]

those get flagged as invalid

[jolly flume]

or I should say

usable

[sleek moon]

and i think 24 man

i usually amuse myself looking at what killed people

from their pov

after raid is over

[sinful brook]

no one knows what duty recorder is for

[jolly flume]

my stream vods have been super laggy for no reason I can explain since like two months ago so that'd be nice

[amber fable]

Duty recorder is so dumb anyway

[sinful brook]

because they abandoned it before it could have a use

[sleek moon]

dont mpreg me @quick verge

[amber fable]

Now it supports raid when its no longer relevant

So useful

[sleek moon]

its not THAT nice because it requires you to go to the inn to replay

[dapper zealot]

https://tenor.com/view/mods-reaction-low-tier-god-gif-3069402631519613407

[sleek moon]

so its more to check after the fact

[jolly flume]

always a catch

[sinful brook]

and im pretty sure its nothing like league replays or other things you'd thing of

[sleek moon]

its SE

always a catch lmao

[amber fable]

Strategy board ...

[sleek moon]

honestly it is pretty nice to use

[amber fable]

Surely se will improve it

[stray forge]

im like

scared to join another 11 party

[sleek moon]

i caught my blm mid falling into the abyss

after arena split

[amber fable]

Nice fall

[stray forge]

my brain is actually jello from m11

[jolly flume]

do it jiggle

[stray forge]

dont all brains jiggle

[amber fable]

No?

[jolly flume]

I wouldn't know

not like I have one

[quick verge]

dr avx

do brains jiggle

[amber fable]

If you slam it against wall

Maybe

[quick verge]

that is crazy

LKFAO

[stray forge]

brains are like

50% fat

they must jiggle

💢

[amber fable]

60%

[jolly flume]

got a tub of lard in my head

sheeeeeeesh

[stray forge]

there are videos of brains jiggling on youtube

i am not linking them here

👍

[dense hare]

what is the best way to start doing savage raids? first time being max level/being at a point to try theem

[stray forge]

Get your prebis ig

[amber fable]

Just queue into fresh party

And get that 770 crafted gear or normal raid gear

[dense hare]

ive tried duty finder but queue never pops, better way to find parties?

[jolly flume]

nobody queues for that

always go party finder

[amber fable]

Dont use duty finder

[stray forge]

Wait what

Duty finder for savage?

[sleek moon]

might have to travel to aether or primal if you're on dynamis or crystal

[sinful brook]

yeah it has a queue
