thoughts on my take

thin fox
#

long have i dreamed of the day we match wits ... but every dream must come to an end

I DONT HAVE WORK TOMORROW

P11S is great in every way except the fight itself

#

idiot thinks it has no work tomorrow. wrong. savage time

thin fox
#

here's how I'd compare the fights by floor (which I think is the fairest comparison)

  • floor 1: 5 > 1 > 9
  • floor 2: 6 > 10 > [massive gap for emphasis] > 2
  • floor 3: 11 > 7 > [massive gap for emphasis] > 3
  • floor 4, phase 1: 8 > 4 > 12
  • floor 4, phase 2: 12 > 8 > 4
wicked delta
#

Massive gap is funny as fuck

torn mesa
#

order I agree, but margins between fights is debatable

grand mesa
#

7 is cooler than 11

#

Conceptually

#

11 is just another boring third turn with number checks in it

thin fox
#

7 is certainly a more creative fight than 11

grand mesa
#

With the occasional bodycheck mechanic

torn mesa
#

tyrant is the best 3rd floor I've done

dull drum
#

lol

torn mesa
#

it's not creative, but who cares

#

caloric is creative and sucks

grand mesa
#

They were a little more creative with it

thin fox
#

something I like about M7 which I want them to do with more wall bosses is playing with the boss jumping from wall to wall

torn mesa
#

9 > 1 for me

#

1 is too much of a striking dummy

worn bluff
#

it’s kind a fun fight for vibes for half of it i think. it makes for some fun stuff like i’ve seen people play roulette with everyone standing on it to see who gets lucky

thin fox
#

roulette should be meta

#

if you're a good person you get the bubble

torn mesa
#

everyone except phys ranged try to go in bubble

grand mesa
torn mesa
#

we did melees in bubble W1

thin fox
torn mesa
#

which actually made our prog much easier

grand mesa
#

😔

#

Mp econ during bubble as ast is kind of rough

#

Since a lot of groups save 2s

#

I don't get to recard and get 2k

dull drum
#

we were thinking of doing healer + sam in the bubble week 1 but it got vetoed

torn mesa
#

we did not do parallel W1

grand mesa
thin fox
#

when doing pf reclears with my blm friend the scholar in our party gave her the bubble spot unprompted which pmo because picto literally has the worst movement of all the casters so i should've had the bubble

torn mesa
#

so the number of times a melee got assassinated

#

was insane

dull drum
#

parallel aerial goated

torn mesa
#

PCT movement is fine

dull drum
#

i dont think that was out though till like

#

day 3-4?? (parallel aerial)

rain geode
#

I thought PCT had a dash?

torn mesa
#

you have a hammer, smudge and 1 comet during that part

grand mesa
#

truly

worn bluff
torn mesa
#

not to mention swift motif

worn bluff
#

only person in the world to hate parallel

robust shoal
#

what if I use my eyes to make it parallel

rain geode
#

Is there like any real downside to Parallel?

worn bluff
grand mesa
#

Slightly tighter first bait

#

Not much else after

torn mesa
#

1st bait = stand on marker lol

grand mesa
#

The safe spot will always be clearly lined out as the side opposite of where the parallel line is

dull drum
#

legit first baits arent bad

#

you either stand on north markers or south markers basically

thin fox
#

summoner

  • every cast is an instant cast
    black mage
  • 2x triplecast
  • xenoglossy
  • paradox
  • swiftcast
  • fire 3 proc
  • thunder
    red mage
  • dualcast
  • swiftcast
  • backflip (good for going out with tether)
  • 2x acceleration
  • melee combo
    pictomancer
  • swift (mostly only good for paint)
  • comet in black
  • hammer combo
  • dash
  • holy in white (dps loss)
#

i would argue pictomancer is

#

EASILY

#

the worst here

#

its not even close

#

i didn't even write every black mage one cuz i forgot that despair is also movement

random needle
#

Smudge is very useful, but yeah I'd definitely say Picto has the most limited movement of the casters

torn mesa
#

you aren't using melee combo there as RDM

rain geode
#

Im gonna be honest Ive only healed the fight so I have no clue how deep aerial works

worn bluff
#

you probably have smudge for each tether you get though

torn mesa
#

smudge is infinitely better than backflip too

thin fox
grand mesa
#

Bubble?

torn mesa
#

it's not

thin fox
#

deep aerial is bubble

random needle
torn mesa
#

PCT has more

grand mesa
#

Blue tether no touchy, red tether yes touchy

rain geode
grand mesa
#

blue tether touchy bubble bad, red tether touchy bubble good

#

thats about it

torn mesa
#

you also only have 1 acceleration there

random needle
#

Every red tether hit does 15% to the bubble, and there's 6 total tethers, so you need to hit the bubble 6 times and do 10% in pure damage to break it

grand mesa
#

blue gives the bubble a dmg resist buff

worn bluff
grand mesa
#

red deals dmg

thin fox
#

picto might be better for a long stretch of uninterrupted movement but i think for repeated sporadic bursts of movement like bubble red mage is easily better

random needle
#

And if you hit it with blue tether, you're probably enraging

grand mesa
#

Not really

thin fox
#

like for something like TOP p6 exas

torn mesa
#

tether is not sporadic lol

thin fox
#

picto is probably better

torn mesa
#

everyone gets it exactly twice

grand mesa
#

I've hit it one or two times in a party and still met check

torn mesa
#

if no deaths

thin fox
# torn mesa tether is not sporadic lol

sporadic in the sense that you are not doing constant uninterrupted movement, but rather shorter bursts of movement at a time with periods of rest between

torn mesa
#

yes, PCT is still better there

#

1st tether you hammer

#

2nd you comet/smudge

#

or even swift motif

#

and you're done

rain geode
#

Oh do you always eat 2 tethers in that mechanic?

thin fox
#

i uptime the mechanic just fine i'm just saying re: the reason i even brought it up that its much worse than black mage

thin fox
torn mesa
#

BLM is borderline phys ranged at this point in terms of how much movement economy they have

thin fox
#

though you dont always get one of each tether

#

can be 2 of the same tether

torn mesa
#

they still cast but there's never a time they struggle for instants

random needle
thin fox
#

honestly the biggest boon to black mage movement is the fact that triple cast is no longer a damage gain so you're not punished for using it for movement

torn mesa
#

saying BLM has movement issues for casters is like saying VPR has uptime issues for melee

#

triplecast being a gain was cool

thin fox
#

i agree

grand mesa
dull drum
#

vipers balling this tier cant lie

torn mesa
#

holy is still a tiny loss only as well

dull drum
torn mesa
#

VPR isn't balling though

thin fox
torn mesa
#

you'd think the free uptime would be nice

grand mesa
#

Niche transpose bs

thin fox
torn mesa
#

but it's still below other melees lol

random needle
#

At least you're not RPR

dull drum
#

free uptime is free uptime 🥀

grand mesa
#

Transpose hb1 instant b3 is a gain over hard casting b3 in fire

torn mesa
thin fox
#

oh you meant that

worn bluff
grand mesa
dull drum
grand mesa
#

Just press your goddamn buttons

rain geode
#

Jobs are close enough why not just play the easier one

thin fox
#

i only have experience with viper and samurai and honestly samurai is so much more fun just in general but also for how you do uptime

worn bluff
#

vpr was pretty good with damage when it first released idk what happened

thin fox
#

the tsubame change was so good for sam honestly. one of the rare instances where nominal streamlining ended up adding to a job instead of taking away.

worn bluff
#

i find SAM very fun i’m just bad at meikyo acceleration

thin fox
#

being able to hold tsubame for buffs or uptime is WICKED

grand mesa
#

i accelerated and held ur mother last night..

#

mb

torn mesa
#

my ranking of arcadion fights

worn bluff
thin fox
#

i just hit meikyo when the vibe is right lowkenuinely

#

sometimes ur midpull n ur like

#

i should hit meikyo

grand mesa
#

That's me with swift cast on astro

torn mesa
#

LHW L with 3 D tiers

grand mesa
#

(someone will die and I will have to raise them)

random needle
#

I know I should be using Swift on healer for movement and not just saving it for raises

random needle
#

I will do that as soon as I can be assured that people won't kill themselves in 4 seconds after I press it

grand mesa
#

You should generally be holding swift, specially for prog

worn bluff
grand mesa
#

But if you expect people not to die to simple shit in a clear party it's usually fine to send it for movement

worn bluff
#

i just don’t get the timing exactly right

clear plume
#

Vpr sure isn’t helped this tier by the short fights

thin fox
#

don't worry val i will psychically determine when you've been using swift for movement and adjust how much i greed uptime based on it

rain geode
#

I always hold swift the healer casts are short enough I should be able to get uptime without swift

valid solar
#

I think they should nerf viper cleave again

clear plume
#

6:30 kt door boss is crazy bad for vpr opener being what it is

grand mesa
valid solar
#

just in case they didnt get the idea from the last 4 times

worn bluff
grand mesa
#

my melees just evaporate

torn mesa
#

VPR is okay if you're in an extremely selfish comp.

#

problem is extremely selfish comps are bad

grand mesa
#

The one melee I've not seen in rpr

valid solar
#

ive never had a reaper in a clear party

grand mesa
#

Truly forgotten

#

I think

dull drum
#

i havent seen one this tier in pf

#

straight up

grand mesa
#

I don't end up caring about comp

valid solar
#

reaper mains still waiting for deaths design to be removed from the game

dull drum
#

whats coolys take on this

valid solar
grand mesa
#

I just pray for people to be cognisant enough to press buttons

rain geode
#

RPR is real rough

thin fox
#

there are so many jobs i play where there's opti and i just vibes it out and do good damage anyway

rain geode
#

Kinda glad I didnt end up playing it

thin fox
#

you will never catch me doing proper edges on dark knight

grand mesa
#

Because literally every enrage I've had this tier has been a clear skill issue that wouldn't have been solved by a job swap

thin fox
#

buddy i just hit that shit whenever

#

"erm its 3/5"

#

who's counting

torn mesa
#

I'd take a RPR over a MCH/SMN easily

valid solar
#

remember when viper had deaths design except it was applied as part of the gcd combo and not a seperate button

#

but it got removed because ppl thought it was too hard to manage or some shit like that

thin fox
#

bro is using the windows vista version of ICANT

valid solar
#

I am not upgrading to the HD version of lmaowtf

zealous meteor

windows vista was peak

yall just had bad computers

Rank 1 12-2 speed right now is smn

valid solar
#

return of the king /s

torn mesa
#

yeah man, surely speeds right now

#

mean a lot

worn bluff
#

if you take away death design now i think double enshroud might also go away and you just hit da flashy button

#

job would need a bigger rework

torn mesa
#

did you guys test pacman BTW @clear plume

valid solar
worn bluff
#

but i don’t think the devs like double enshroud anyways

thin fox
#

it is so very clear the devs do not want people doing double enshroud

torn mesa
clear plume
#

Yeah, we did it successfully but don’t think it’s worth it bc we were killing too fast anyways and don’t want to do healer sb

#

Damage was fine when done right

#

But it’s very fast

worn bluff
#

tbf the new gnb gnashing opti is not that different from how double enshroud works

clear plume
#

You’re basically trading 3 healer gcds and all your mit for 2 melee gcds and some guaranteed prange cleave over it being rng

#

And doing a much harder thing for it

#

If you’re doing healer sb tho it’s free to tell them to put the cure 3 in the bag

torn mesa
#

tank LB?

#

for me it's 2 ranged attacks on good pattern, 5 on bad

clear plume
#

Didn’t use a tank lb no

#

Felt like we wouldn’t want to use it if we settled on the Strat, so we wanted to actually test it’s damage

#

Bc doing a Strat to get melee uptime and then telling tanks to lose those uptime to tank lb would be ????

torn mesa
#

1 tank v. both tanks and melees

clear plume
#

Just using party mit worked fine

thin fox
#

the actual strat: just kill it before arena split

clear plume
#

We had pld drk so veil was nice after cone hit to heal and mitigate next bleed tho that gnb drk wouldnt have, but I don’t think with tank lb you’re doing it healer gcd less anyways

#

We think we are going to try

#

Same mit but melees just dash to blue

thin fox
#

when does a full bis giga pump party kill 10

clear plume
#

Next raid

thin fox
#

not a full on speed clear but just like all bis pumpers

clear plume
#

And just use mit on the duo stacks

#

Uh we had a 8:22 with no lb no healer weapons

#

I think the current 7:58 r1 or whatever is single lb splits group though

#

Basically they die during ia2

#

Just before it for r1

vestal hollow
#

hmm

#

do i work on monk alt or mch alt first chat

#

well

#

"i"

thin fox
#

mch ICANT

#

play monk so you can get 0 parses from all the gearfed monks

grand mesa
#

follow ur heart

clear plume
#

Maybe 8:10-8:20 would be what I consider a “good” run

vestal hollow
grand mesa
#

diss mch all u want, but I'd rather get a 99% uptime mch than some of the melees I've been getting

limpid edge
#

how do you check how many times a player been thru each mech?

#

on tomestone

vestal hollow
#

i parked both of these somehow

#

nitowikwe can only realistically be a mch

zealous meteor
#

what does this mean

clear plume
#

I hate the bard shit I have to do in 10 tho so I’ll just deal with my pb for now and sb for group I think

#

(You have to rip apex basically off cd and if you get unlucky your rotation breaks 2m in)

#

And again before bubble

torn mesa
#

you have a 2s window on SAM

worn bluff
#

what’s the most fun job that uses raid body

torn mesa
#

to send your 2's late enough to cleave both before spectacular and before snaking split off

worn bluff
#

oh wait i think maiming uses body

#

maybe i’ll do drg

clear plume
#

Bc my pb rn I have BA as my last gcd before untargetable and again it was available for 2 gcds before bubble which is 100% optimal and let me 100 gauge when they’re back after bubble but

#

I had a 89% proc rate that pull

#

Which is above average

torn mesa
#

M10S first fight since TOP

#

where I changed GCD speed for it

clear plume
#

I was above 33k ndps tho

#

Which is insane for bard

#

For the kt we got

#

(Right before a 2m)

#

Basically same rdps as my melees

#

Who r also 787 ilvl

torn mesa
#

your melees are slacking

clear plume
#

It was a 8:39 kt when buffs come up at 8:37

#

So they’re losing a 1m

#

2m etc

#

If I had slight sandbag I’m actually MacherieConcern

#

Like this fight is same thing at p10s where you need a 20-30s sandbag probably

#

And then the degen groups will 3m sandbag it

#

But I don’t want to do a 5 person sandbag for that

stray forge
clear plume
#

Sam is still tome weapon tho too

torn mesa
#

43k tome weapon is easily doable

44k is with decent crit/KT

oof

#

Being a non fed over played melee in a healer only buff comp sucks lol but I like my group do I'll suffer.

rapid whale
#

yea they were flaming heals over them dyign to steeam explosions

#

like brotherman you didnt get out of the aoe they cant heal stupid

stray forge
#

Goodbye aether sadge maybe I'll be able to sneak onto you again in like a week

thin fox
#

i had to explain the "where were the eels" meme to someone today ICANT

worn bluff
#

someone died in arena split and said “i died to damage” and the healers were like brother you cannot die to damage in that spot

random needle
#

I died to steam on my last pull in m10 and it made me feel so bad

clear plume
#

Anyways uh what we want to try instead is

#

Melee from non blue side run through no matter what

#

T1/m1 t2/m2 and the ranged from each side as static pairs

#

And always tanks run through middle for final stack when blue is gone anyways

#

To have 4/4 final stacks again

#

And it should be same uptime as Pac-Man but less party bleed

rapid whale
#

wait

#

does the maint mean criterion comes out on tuesday

spice path
#

No

#

Maint is 7 41

#

Criterion is 7 45

rapid whale
#

i wonder what this one's for then, relic step?

spice path
#

This one is new cosmic planet and relic steps for both cosmic and battle.

tough to say

limpid edge

some comps r super 2min heavy

so they will look disproportionally weaker

even if they r doing buttons fine

vestal hollow
#

what fight is this in reference to

limpid edge
#

m11s cuz dps check is all the rage in that fight

vestal hollow
#

because m10 has a lot more cleave options in the second half than first

mellow oar
#

The criterion changes that are coming apply to only the new criterion dungeon or are they reworking all the previous ones as well?

iron jewel
#

only to the new one.

tawdry delta
#

new only

iron jewel
#

they're not going to entirely rework the old ones, lol.

jade nimbus

At least older content that isnt ARR

have fun in 12

limpid edge
#

clear party w/ 1% passports not doing satisfactory dps halfway thru the fight w/o deaths nor DDs. I'm having questions

#

but i havent been leaving cuz i give people (and myself) more chances cuz maybe they were playing extra safe on weapons

#

and needed some warmup pulls

#

also i got kicked previous party but then cleared next one. Kinda feels good

#

been stuck on m11s for 2 weeks

limpid edge
#

cuz hector does true north if first set spreads, br if second set spreads. Not sure if people follow the TN way

worn bluff
#

i’ve seen the second set both ways

#

tn or relative

rapid whale
#

o that spread

#

i thought you meant the axe tb/party

limpid edge
#

ive never done TN for those spreads, i just look at the hitbox

#

but he kinda moves in the middle so that might confuse people

worn bluff
#

relative makes more sense but it can also be kind of squishy in the corner

limpid edge
#

like near the end of puddles he rotates with the MT and some people might have pre-puddle orientation in mind

Surely 780 min ilv pfs can clear m11s

worn bluff
#

780 gear without weapon is only like 1.5% gain over 775 or something

skill variance is going to be more than that

a decent number of 780 tome pieces are sidegrades to 770 penta too i think

there's no p2 for m9s.

m9s doesn't really have separate phases

Ah okay

loud nymph

you have the intermissions but people don't refer to before/after them as separate phases

It has phases as in there's different parts of the fight

But it's not a whole separate fight

#

Kk

it’s probably just that one video that calls it phase 2

#

Hector guide so

worn bluff
#

yeah he’s probably just putting sections for his video

Got to aether, died group disbanded after 8 pulls till coffin

Do you mean suck 1?

loud nymph
#

presumably aetherletting?

river sequoia

Ive never done M9S at all, and got to aetherletting within 3 pulls

With a group who has also never done M9s

Is that not progress or?

worn bluff
#

that’s not bad

#

once you get past the part after with the adds it should be clear soon after

river sequoia
#

Is it static usually for aether?

loud nymph
#

yes

worn bluff
#

yeah

river sequoia
#

Okay

#

Btw what does it mean by "static" for specific phases

loud nymph
#

for that, static just means you always drop your puddle at the same point

#

and it always makes the very middle of the arena safe

river sequoia
#

Static in general ik means a raid oriented group

true beacon
#

If she does the final screech and any nails are still up by the third one during adds 2 it explodes

zealous meteor
#

you're doing m9s so i assume you're talking about static aetherletting. it just means that people always drop their puddles in the same spot, so the center is always safe, no matter what happens

true beacon
#

unless you dash too early

sinful brook
#

No it's still fine if you dash

#

If your angle is right

The safe spot is just a tad tighter feeling

also have you considered adding an addendum for the eclipse positioning? I hate it when both melee baits and #2 are both on the hitbox ring

it's mentioned in one of the top comments, and I mention that I recommend groups discuss that and do it.

limpid edge
#

I try to move back after gapclosing

normal summit
#

I try not to make minor changes (even if I think they're improvements) from the raidplan as the miscommunication can be deadly

limpid edge
#

yea it's true

#

peopel dont want to change from established raidplans , i couldnt convince anyone in the instance

normal summit
#

even with my addendum, you would still need to assume that many parties will not position well enough to allow you easy uptime after gapclosing, so a slight disengage as a tank is the safest bet

hector learned that if he makes one deviation then PF will blame all of their problems on him

Like

#

3 m11s groups I joined in a row had arguments about what markers were what

#

There are like 5 diff sets of markers for 11 rn

limpid edge

i honeslty couldnt tell which marks are what, i just trust

#

peopole can use plugins to get the exact coordinates but we shouldnt need to use that to confirm

yall are having issues with m9s reclears?

normal summit

changing is annoying, but the reluctance to change leaves PF with some poor strats that persits throughout the tier

ive one pulled all of them

DN rep 2 and the awful stack/defa positions at the start of idyllic are the main culprits this tier

im fine w/ that. I'm a little slow this tier in PF , just starting m12s p1

How do you even do a fight like m12s phase 2 where NA and EU basically do completely different strats for every mechanic

valid solar
#

do people in EU do hector

#

serious question

thin fox

I think the only overlap is that NA and EU for M12S phase 2 is rep2

Currently planning on multiple videos

at least they're honest

thin fox

what is DN rep2 I'm curious to compare it

#

I only know clone zone

normal summit
#

same thing

thin fox
#

oh

normal summit
#

EU and NA use the same rep 2

thin fox
#

what's wrong with clone zone

dull drum
thin fox
#

yeah I know

#

I just didn't know that was also DN

normal summit
#

Banana Codex rep 2 is just a straight up improvement.

#

fixed positions for netherwrath near or far so you don't even have to check the cast, easier uptime, significantly less movement

tired egret
#

the bone clone zone

normal summit
#

also, the swap to using D as new North makes sorting out tethers a bit simpler too

thin fox
#

oh wow this rep2 is just obviously better yeah lol

jolly flume
#

the only part I genuinely care about is that it desyncs netherwrath from protean rewinds so people can stop getting doubled for fun

normal summit
#

but unfortunately, not PF standard

jolly flume
#

bc unfortunately just wasn't popular week 1 because doing it true north was more comprehensible and the benefits of west weren't obvious yet

thin fox
#

I think I still prefer DN rep1 but banana codex is definitely the superior rep2

basically the way names work in this game is when people see a mechanic or strat for the first time people just call it that forever

#

that's why we say snake prio cuz it was a prio invented for p8s snake mechanic

jolly flume
#

idyllic and rep 2 are both true north in that the clone spawn order is not relative

bc just happens to flip the resolutions 90 degrees because it ends up with better timings on things

and having expiring pulls is kinda scummy

as much as I like the game and the premise

stray forge
#

Rip

dull drum
jolly flume
#

none of that is problematic in concept on its own right but

#

a decent chunk of your pull income is pulls specific to the current banner that expire on banner change

#

but at the same time your pity doesn't carry across banners so you're discouraged from just pulling on everything

limpid edge
#

just dont pull!

jolly flume

thank you for your insightful comment

limpid edge
#

every gacha game i played where i felt i really wanted to pull for something, it usually ends in disappointment.

#

the lows feel so much more worse than the highs

dull drum

but you have to wait till a banner comes out with something you want

#

then start earning he pulls

if we're being generous it's overly complex

if we're not, it's obfuscation to get people to fuck up their pull economy and spend

we should not be generous to a gacha game dev though

it's definitely obfuscation

they get one or two patches of goodwill from me

greed 1 gcd or wipe the raid

You won't wipe the raid if you simply greed properly 🙂
