every marvel villain for some reason:

[stray forge]

are you going to white ppl locations

[jolly flume]

I did specify manhattan

that's 99% white ppl locations

[stray forge]

so true

Tim ho wan ass prices

[rapid whale]

is manhattan the kinda place that names their asian places random asian words because they sound exotic

[wicked delta]

My sister wants to take me to Manhattan

[stray forge]

No

[rapid whale]

"sake" and pronounce it sawkee or something

[wicked delta]

Ive been considering it

[stray forge]

It’s actually owned by ppl who are Asian but when things get popular they just kinda get whiteified

[jolly flume]

no manhattan is the kinda place where private equity funds restaurants run by actually talented chefs but because they are funded by PE everything is exorbitantly expensive beyond what is reasonable

im not a paladin main so idk what he did wrong

nvm

he did a lot wrong

[tulip anvil]

theres also this when checking xivanalysis

[jolly flume]

I had to double take at those numbers

[jolly flume]

I was hoping it said 22 intervene 2 shield lob

it did not in fact say that

[alpine plover]

2 intervenes

he switched from another tank

i reckon

[quick verge]

switched from another body maybe

getting used to their first day as a human

[alpine plover]

the first 2 weeks when i was progging m6s

i didn't know psyche existed for sage

so i didn't press it

it made no difference

[rapid whale]

did u restart the tier

[grand mesa]

Eh, not always

In a heavy buff comp, pct still ends up contributing more in some cases

[alpine plover]

that's interesting

good to hear tbh

[rapid whale]

pct is like

iirc its not until pink that it actually crosses over

[grand mesa]

Though

They're neck and neck

[rapid whale]

so almost literally 99% of the time blm stronker, ever slightly

then that last 1% it's pct stronger, ever slightly

ya

[alpine plover]

that sounds like it's good when it crits

[rapid whale]

p much

[grand mesa]

The biggest obv disparity is m10

[rapid whale]

pct no crits just cries

[grand mesa]

Pictomancer cleaves for free

[odd beacon]

huh

tomestone added ads?

😭

worst placement for it too

[grand mesa]

And feeds buff better than blm could

[odd beacon]

it squishes your profile

[rapid whale]

yeah m10 was designed to highlight every strength picto has

[alpine plover]

considering blm also doesn't build crit on bis

it kinda tells that blm is more reliable in general

but alas if they are close anyway who tf cares

[grand mesa]

I mean, I guess?

[rapid whale]

its like how mch "should" be balanced eg, in pf environments it's almost always better to bring but in hyper optimized stuff, the buff ones seem better

[grand mesa]

You play either well you'll clear

[devout wraith]

is blm the only caster that uses sps?

[grand mesa]

The diff doesn't matter until opti

[rapid whale]

p much

[grand mesa]

Yes

[devout wraith]

not even pct?

[rapid whale]

rdm/smn use a teensy tiny bit to get them to 2.48

[grand mesa]

Smn has rare cases where it can use sps but

[rapid whale]

pct wants 2.5

[alpine plover]

which is good!

[grand mesa]

That doesn't happen often

[alpine plover]

pct and rdm want 2.5

[jolly flume]

pct wants 2.5 is a californian take

[rapid whale]

huh

[grand mesa]

Pct can 2.48 if ping is making the last gcd under rb impossible

[rapid whale]

oh thats what you mean LMAO

[odd beacon]

2.5 rdm in the big 2026?

learn 2.48

[jolly flume]

yeah I was mostly kidding

I can get by with 2.5

[odd beacon]

much better

[rapid whale]

im like 90% sure rdm wants 2.48

[odd beacon]

ya

[grand mesa]

But yea

Blm is the only one who stacks sps

[devout wraith]

sps is a nono for rdm? I imagine they can benefit from it for getting more overall mana generation no? which means extra melee combo in the long run?

[rapid whale]

pure sps smn is like only level 70 content afaik

[grand mesa]

There have been cases where it was a viable set in savafe

Not optimal, but viable

[alpine plover]

i think smn last tier built 2.45?

[odd beacon]

This line of thinking is right but

It doesn't get you any extra melees

[grand mesa]

You build enough sps you lose substat that makes your combos do more damage

[jolly flume]

you sac a lot of crit and whatnot for sps to get to any significant mana gain

[odd beacon]

and if you go too fast you lose out on crits which your big nukes rely on

[alpine plover]

not like more mana will make a difference

[jolly flume]

the thing about sps is it scales worse on jobs that don't do nearly all their damage through gcds

[alpine plover]

you have 1 combo out of buffs anyway

[grand mesa]

Rdm cares about doing as much dmg as possible under 2min

More sps won't help

[jolly flume]

because ogcds don't see any improvement from sps

that's why it's mostly a healer/blm thing

[odd beacon]

I mean it kinda does in ults if you can get an extra combo in phases but you have to go really fast for it

to the point that you lose out on so much crit

[alpine plover]

i know that works in ubu and ucob

idk if it works for the others

[jolly flume]

if you're parsing like that you'd rather take the crit most of the time anyways

[odd beacon]

Depends

[jolly flume]

we don't care about avg sim we're looking at like +2.5-3 stddev

[odd beacon]

I know a 100 SCH who prefers SpS > Crit

but then again thats healer

[jolly flume]

well yeah it's not like you can't parse

[odd beacon]

so different line of thinking xd

[jolly flume]

it's just easier to get more variance with a crit set

[amber fable]

Sps sks wouldnt be so loathed if you didnt need morbillions of it to see meaningful differences

[odd beacon]

esp since SpS allowed scholar to slidecast exajoels

[alpine plover]

piety wouldn't be loathed either if it did smth

[jolly flume]

that's not why people hate it at all

[grand mesa]

If ur giving up crit to add sps on a healer you're usually griefing urself

[jolly flume]

speed is theoretically the best scaling stat in the game, it's just that it makes a lot of jobs feel weird

[grand mesa]

Well

[amber fable]

It does cost a lot of other stat to make actual meaningful difference

[odd beacon]

idk its a fallacy I know but the guy prints results..

[rapid whale]

wdym by results

r we talking like high purple or literal r1

[odd beacon]

r1

[grand mesa]

Congrats, he had good buff feed and crit more broils than usual

[rapid whale]

icic

[grand mesa]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[alpine plover]

m9s truly unparsable

[grand mesa]

His play and the group he's with has more of an impact than his melding choices

[rapid whale]

melees die too often gg

[odd beacon]

Well I'm just saying he swears by SpS

his words not mine

[grand mesa]

Is he melding to 2.31

Or faster

[odd beacon]

2.31

[alpine plover]

if i play sps healer i can't alt tab 🥀

[rapid whale]

isnt that the norm

[odd beacon]

or 2.1x?

idr

[rapid whale]

i was thinking you were talking like

every slot materia sps

[grand mesa]

You still get a ton of crit on 2.31

[odd beacon]

I think it was near 2.1

[jolly flume]

2.1x you'd be out of mana by like 5 minutes into the fight

[devout wraith]

i don't play pct but I thought sps would've been good for them cuz of faster painting speed or something like that...

[amber fable]

Sps dont affect motif cast

[devout wraith]

bruh

[amber fable]

Or it would actually use some

[odd beacon]

and besides

[jolly flume]

there's an opportunity cost

always

[odd beacon]

slower painting isn't a bad thing lmao

swift+motif is a big movement tool

[amber fable]

Depends really

[rapid whale]

swift cast motif my beloved

[alpine plover]

swift motif triple weave

[rapid whale]

allow me to become a summoner for 5 seconds

[grand mesa]

any job whose shtick is dumping tons of damage in 2min will usually just want to make that 2min burst window as powerful as possible

[amber fable]

Burst is 20 sec which is 8 gcd on 2.5

[odd beacon]

i mean pct has autocrits too

which means they want crit to the brim

[grand mesa]

yea

[alpine plover]

yee

i should learn to play picto and blm

[grand mesa]

2.1 is a parsebrain you should not be running this outside of an opti group set, if it happens to exist

you oom so fast

[odd beacon]

you oomf..

[alpine plover]

just use mana pots /s

[grand mesa]

do you see the problem in your statement

[alpine plover]

i dropped the /s

oop

[grand mesa]

fair enough

[jolly flume]

that's like 28.5 gcds/min

1500mp negative per minute

on scholar

[odd beacon]

btw what did you guys do with that one Tyrant mechanic

[jolly flume]

you're literally oom in 6.5 minutes

[alpine plover]

i'd rather explode

[odd beacon]

Majestic Inflation

[jolly flume]

majestic inflation.

[odd beacon]

[alpine plover]

majestic inflation.

[grand mesa]

glerm

[sleek moon]

hear me out, sps piety

[shy obsidian]

no? I'm just prepping dancer since I already have accessories for samurai

[jolly flume]

look I've been saying that sps and piety should just be combined

gcd speed affecting your mp economy doesn't need to exist

[grand mesa]

I run slow ast this tier

[jolly flume]

this is entirely because I love 2.31 feel but hate the mp

[grand mesa]

i dont regret it

my mp is still fucked after 3-4 raises but i know id be more fucked if i decided to 2.31

[alpine plover]

on sch?

makes sense

[jolly flume]

I was ending fights on like 3k mp on clean pulls last tier

I was succor kittening but still

1 raise = super ether or die of cringe was not fun gaming

[alpine plover]

m8s...

[jolly flume]

m8s was extra fun because I had to start pushing my lucid earlier and earlier to get it off before we phased

[low hearth]

[jolly flume]

otherwise, you guessed it, mp cancer

[alpine plover]

i should have just switched to sge

in m8s

but i was stubborn

seraphism was saving me but not my mana

[jolly flume]

honestly

if whm had 7.4 plenary back then

I would've done sch whm in a heartbeat

[sleek moon]

sage is always the right answer

[jolly flume]

maybe even without it

spreadlo is real nice in a lot of places in 8 and bell is just strictly better than panhaima for the two things that actually hurt

[alpine plover]

yea

but there's one thing that is better that is not even close

in m8s at least

[jolly flume]

I only did that once that I recall

was a c41 for a friend and they were the sage

so it was pretty chill

just told them not to shield anything bc I'll do it all and we clear in 3 pulls

[grand mesa]

broil lucid bio

[jolly flume]

no literally

[alpine plover]

i told my cohealer to sandbag for me one pull so that i get purple

and he went sage

things went nicely

[sleek moon]

my lhw static was sge sch

[grand mesa]

i lucid first gcd because i'll forget otherwise

[jolly flume]

my coheal is 100% locking sch for 7.5 so I get my pick of the other 3

maybe we'll just double shield that too lol

[grand mesa]

i dont vibe with dbl shield for prog

[alpine plover]

i never saw double shield in fru

idk if it works

[grand mesa]

maybe its good, idk

[jolly flume]

it's awkward but I can tell if it's the right kind of fight for it pretty easily from a vod

[alpine plover]

but i know everywhere else it works lol

[jolly flume]

like 12 this tier was total double shield territory

rest would be ok but regen was op for prog

tower bleed no problem just drop the bell and payphone

[grand mesa]

yea

[sleek moon]

it works fine for non w1 group prog too, since people usually have some gear/tomes before they get to the 4th fight

[jolly flume]

it's less a gear thing and more just there's only so much you can do when there's like 2 ppl on the floor during ultimate weapons or arena split or something

double shield tends to start falling apart when things go wrong in a fight that has any amount of throughput requirement

bc you can't just shit out 2500p of raw hp in 5 seconds the way ast or whm can (mostly)

[prime knot]

Hi chat i have a question i just finished the msq and did arcdion raids but i want to try savage for the first time i never did this and i might int but i rly want to learn any advices ?

[amber fable]

You can see savage guide for current tier

And start fresh prog

And learn your job rotation

[alpine plover]

Learn your optimal job rotation from savage and watch guides

[low hearth]

learn your job rotation PLEASE

[alpine plover]

[prime knot]

Nah broski suffered with some pfs

[low hearth]

you can practice in extreme i guess after training dummy

[prime knot]

I might do that the ugly train is a good practice?

[low hearth]

yea

[wicked delta]

Learning job rotation is very important yes

[prime knot]

ty

[wicked delta]

I think something else thats also pretty important is being willing to like

Post your logs if possible

Some people may be able to see if you’re doing something wrong

Having bad logs is completely fine, you’re still learning

[prime knot]

excuse me but wym by having bad logs ???

[zinc copper]

formidable up on hyperion server, kholusia stilltide teleport

[low hearth]

if someone is running ACT and uploads the log you can see how well or how bad you're performing

you can also upload the log to xivanalysis and it tells you how you can improve and stuff

parsing a grey is really hard

[daring pine]

pain spotted

[low hearth]

yo

[wicked delta]

So in high end raiding people use ACT

ACT is a damage meter, essentially

Through ACT you can upload your performance to FFLOGS, thats where you get the log from

Said log can then be plugged into XIVAnalysis which will basically read what’s in the log and you can see how you performed

[rapid whale]

it's like fight club tho dont talk abt them in game and never use someones logs to shame them

iirc they actually ban you for that

[sinful brook]

i think the baseline for now is to get enough gear

and go in prepared with food and pot

[wicked delta]

Yeah you 100% would get banned if you start flaming someone for their logs

[rapid whale]

thats when you come in here and tell us you do mechanics perfectly /s /jk

[wicked delta]

In statics (think like a raiding guild) its more acceptable because you’re usually using discord for that anyway

This is what a bad log would look like

It wont send

Lollmao

Anyways

[sinful brook]

come clear me right now

in and out trust

im not the problem trust

[alpine plover]

its too bad to show

[sinful brook]

[wicked delta]

Do not mention that shit in party finder unless you wanna get nuked

Even if you have a good reason to call someone out

[rapid whale]

yea its any% ban speed run tech frfr ongod no cap rizz skibidi

[wicked delta]

You’re better off just leaving the party and blacklisting them

[alpine plover]

ffxiv analysis is whooping your ass anyway even if you parse orange

[vast jacinth]

Wth did i just read

[wicked delta]

Yeah lol

It’s not 100% the end all be all

Some people’s logs are really fucking cursed, and they’re rank 1 players

[rapid whale]

mb im brain dmged

[alpine plover]

estimated gcd speed 2.51

missed 2 unimportant actions out of buffs

[wicked delta]

But I do think it’s a nice way to see if you feel like you’re doing something wrong

[alpine plover]

still 96 parse

[vast jacinth]

Dw me too after it took 5hours in pf to reclear m11s

[wicked delta]

Just critted crazy style

[vast jacinth]

Just crit more smh

[rapid whale]

one of my 99s is 100% undeserved and is literally just crit luck

some of the others im more proud of tho

[sinful brook]

estimated gcd being more than 2.50 is just xiva telling you your brain has bad ping

[alpine plover]

my bad

while it's not wrong, it could be nicer about it

🥀

[rapid whale]

idk i like improving so having concrete things to work on is nice

[grand mesa]

ur fundamentals is the most important thing

numbers dont mean much if ur trying to improve

you can play badly and crit out of the wazoo and get a blue

it doesnt mean you don't have shit you need to sort out if you want to play better

[wicked delta]

Of course theres the generic “be patient” stuff n all

But its important to remember

Be kind to yourself

Constantly beating yourself up for messing up wont make you play better lol

[grand mesa]

that too

Stop mental booming

Treat yourself better

I knew people who would mentally collapse after 1-2 wipes

they're working on it but

it wasn't fun watching them tear themselves down after one bad mistake

[rapid whale]

i always say that raiding is just as much a fight with your inner demons as it is the boss

what if the real boss was our perfectionism along the way

[grand mesa]

some ppl in pf arent perfectionistic enough..

I still have beef with the dnc who wiped us to 0.03% enrage w1

[rapid whale]

sajjies

[grand mesa]

just bc they couldn't muster more than 93% uptime for some goddamn reason

[rapid whale]

mb im new

[wicked delta]

Oh yeah thats another thing

Please do respect people’s time

Especially if they’re helping you clear

Lol

[grand mesa]

like, goddamn

this was my first time in savage with dnc and i still did better

😭 roll ur gcd

[wicked delta]

Like this game ain’t a 9-5 but you are playing with real people so they expect the bare minimum out of you n you should be able to do that

[grand mesa]

yea

im tired man

[wicked delta]

People won’t get mad if they know you’re doing your best

Don’t be like the guy who came into this chat playing like actual dogshit and then going “guuuys im casuallll its not that deep bruhhhh”

[rapid whale]

didnt they resort to calling us all virgins or something

[wicked delta]

Yeah

😭

[low hearth]

Some wipes are really bad bro

disconnecting during exaflares

https://tenor.com/view/speed-covering-mouth-stream-scary-speed-scared-gif-3435748839023247479

[grand mesa]

I just want some accountability in this house

goddamn

[rapid whale]

we got hit by ddos during magic number cast bar before with @dull drum

that was a feels fucking bad

[wicked delta]

If people in PF took accountability for causing wipes then it would be a lot less miserable

I did a little bit of M11 prog on monday but didn’t get far

[rapid whale]

a simple "mb" goes so far

[wicked delta]

This healer swore on her life that I was standing in the wrong spot as R1 because we kept killing each other

Turns out

For SOME reason

She thought she had to be next to the main tank

I was like brother…

[alpine plover]

[rapid whale]

they must hug their uwu

[wicked delta]

Even when I tried to adjust to H1 spot they would decide to go there anyway

So like

[low hearth]

dang m11s dps check kinda free now 💔🥀

[wicked delta]

Oh my god bruh you’re literally just an enemy

[rapid whale]

oh the misery

[grand mesa]

I had a sge

That used panhaima in a spot where it mit nothing in m12p1

so the low vit players would die to act 1

I asked him if that was intentional

twice

[grand mesa]

He just gave me attitude instead of answering me

"Let me play" he says

then I check his history and the man has not cleared a single fourth floor

and plays terribly in the first three floors of every tier

MAN HAS BEEN RAIDING 8 YEARS

I DON'T GET IT MAN

[alpine plover]

idk man what's the point if you know you are wrong to argue back

[wicked delta]

Oh heavens

😭

Not even light heavyweight?

[grand mesa]

oh

well

he did clear m4s late into the tier

but that's it

[wicked delta]

Lol

[grand mesa]

[wicked delta]

Look man I dont believe you played X amount of years you have to be god tier but

Id expect people to at least be decent

?

[low hearth]

Clearing with 4 deaths and like 6 damage downs

[grand mesa]

thats what stagnancy looks like

[vast jacinth]

In pf not possible

[alpine plover]

3 deaths and 7 damage downs!

[wicked delta]

8 years is a long ass time to be a consistent headass in party finder lmfaoaoao

[grand mesa]

bro has been griefing parties for a decade

[low hearth]

Fucking picto left with a 0 parse 😭

That’s hilarious man

[alpine plover]

sometimes if you are used to something for a long ass time it's hard to break out of it

[grand mesa]

then some ppl in the party had the gall to call me out for being "too toxic" when I say he shouldn't be in the pf if he can't do his job

like brother

[low hearth]

Is the median just cooked at that point?

[grand mesa]

we aren't seeing your progpoint with that guy

[wicked delta]

“Sorry guys I am used to being ass at this game”

[grand mesa]

stop defending him

anyways

[grand mesa]

you can still high median with a few 0s mixed in

[low hearth]

Oh

[wicked delta]

I got called toxic for saying this to a sage in M6S lol

Firstly

They take H1 spot

[grand mesa]

like, mine arent super high rn but

[wicked delta]

I was like un

Umm

[wicked delta]

Well okay healer spots are not that hard

Proceeds to not take the manta at all

Even though it was a cleavemaxx party

I adjusted for the person

[grand mesa]

you just need to get enough decent runs in that ur midpoint becomes higher

just be consistent

[low hearth]

Do medians even matter like that fr? 😭 I guess it just looks better

[alpine plover]

i am symetric

[grand mesa]

yikes

[grand mesa]

no

[alpine plover]

on medians

[wicked delta]

Then everyone just fucking explodes to damage because this guy refused to mit

[grand mesa]

they just look nice

[wicked delta]

I was like ? What are you doing

[grand mesa]

im tempted every day to just start shield healing

bc its hard to find mfs who do it right

[alpine plover]

what do my medians tell you guys

be honest

am curious

[dapper zealot]

Where tobi

[grand mesa]

uh

[wicked delta]

“I shouldn’t have to mit that much you guys need to use personals” girl why do we have you here then

[grand mesa]

its a sandwich

idk man

[alpine plover]

fair

[wicked delta]

I have a boyfriend I am not interested in your stupid repellant

[grand mesa]

if ur clearing fights and carrying ur weight thats all that matters

[low hearth]

What’s going on in vamp fatale bro

[grand mesa]

[low hearth]

Vamp Stomp got hands

[alpine plover]

Bro that fight is unparsable

idk

i eat DD only when i clear

[wicked delta]

Unironically I struggle more with vamp than bj bros

[alpine plover]

if i am perfect my dps or healers die

and we reset

[wicked delta]

Sanguine stomp might be impossible content I think

[vast jacinth]

I think my melees killed each other 3 pulls in a row on first vamp stand :)

[wicked delta]

Scratch

[grand mesa]

I.

[wicked delta]

Whatever that shit is man

I have never seen that mechanic before in my life

[grand mesa]

I close my eyes and stop looking at the melees during vamp stomp

[alpine plover]

idk man the first floor is always the most impossible for me

was same with dancing green

and kitty cat

[wicked delta]

Dancing green was also my worst floor in cruiser lmao

[grand mesa]

I hope this helps

tobi

[wicked delta]

I was way better at Sugar Riot

[alpine plover]

yea same

[grand mesa]

i think ppl just psych theirselves out or lose focus and fuck up once and start panicking

then they get hit by a 2nd one and die

just gotta keep ur eyes peeled and breathe

[alpine plover]

breathe manually

is another mechanic added

[low hearth]

ranged players derping in the middle while the flails are going off 😭

[alpine plover]

😭

[grand mesa]

i have to remind myself to take deep breathes during raid to keep calm sometimes

[wicked delta]

Idk maybe snapshot isn’t kind to me cus I feel like I do that and my toenail gets clipped by it

[grand mesa]

its easy to start panicking

wdym

oh

hm

you might want to dodge a little bit more out

[wicked delta]

Maybe im dodging too close to the cone? Idk

[grand mesa]

unless you're confident with where ur pixel is

just be max melee or farther

[craggy marsh]

Reclears today were scuffed as fuck but I did it

[valid solar]

in my 9 reclear a melee walked over to my waymarker, clipped me with their cleanse, and then went back to theirs

[craggy marsh]

[alpine plover]

getting DD from bats cleave is equivalent to hitting your pinky(?) toe in furniture true

[valid solar]

ngl I shouldve wiped the party

[craggy marsh]

In my 9 reclear my co-tank missed their cell and gave the healers the time of their life

[grand mesa]

oh

it's not actually that hard to heal through the dot

[craggy marsh]

Had 4 people dead for deathmatch

[grand mesa]

but sometimes ppl panick and case a wipe bc suddenly there's no reference point for spread cleaves

[low hearth]

m9s be having my ass dead

[craggy marsh]

Ye it was stack and then spread and the other tank baited it at the group

[wicked delta]

Im happy about my M10 clear but also kinda madge

[grand mesa]

rip

[craggy marsh]

We cleared in that pull tho but man

[wicked delta]

Because mechanically I was doing great until I just died to damage during arena split

And then I died to damage again during a raidwide

[grand mesa]

arena split is def a

mit check

[alpine plover]

idk man i wanna get a purple parse on all of them at least

then i am happy to sandbag

or adjust

[wicked delta]

Two deaths when it wasn’t even my fault like bro

[grand mesa]

if you can wings there u'd prefer to have wings there tbh

[craggy marsh]

M10 clear was going great until the last proteans bc everyone but the tanks forgot about the stack at the end

[grand mesa]

if you cant trust coheal to sink it a bit

[craggy marsh]

I had to run super far to bait Blue jump

Probably clear 11 tomorrow made it to stampede a few times

Ez mech

[grand mesa]

the hardest part about clearing 11 is finding 7 other shmucks who won't wipe you over and over

[alpine plover]

mango

let me

dm you smth

[craggy marsh]

If it gets bad ill use the power of money

[craggy marsh]

[grand mesa]

it fucks over ur ia2 a bit but it's much easier to deal with that mech since dmg is more periodic

split kind of just

shits it out

in the course of a few gcds

[wicked delta]

That shit hurts if your party isn’t mitting like

At all

Guys please help homies out here

[grand mesa]

yea

w1

you'd die to dmg if u take water baits raw after puddle drop iirc

[hidden stag]

Raw?..

Damn

[grand mesa]

so you needed preshield and some premit

[valid solar]

how the healer looks at the 50% health ranged knowing full well they're going to die to the fire stack after protean

[wicked delta]

Me when im on DNC and smiling at my caster knowing we are both about to die

[craggy marsh]

Me when I'm looking at my ranged partner during arena split and they're at 15%

https://tenor.com/view/thanos-avengers-infinity-war-im-sorry-little-one-gif-12454554

[hidden stag]

These dps problems do not concern tanks like me

😤

[wicked delta]

Well honestly

Its ranged player moment

Melees are (usually) fine

[valid solar]

[craggy marsh]

SE making it so ranged players take more damage than melee players while also making them do less damage than melee too

[low hearth]

I always buddy mit the caster

[craggy marsh]

Certified Yoshit P moment

[low hearth]

Wiping to that arena split last raidwide over and over again the first week

[scarlet idol]

Is this allowed?

[tulip anvil]

probably

[wicked delta]

Well I have never seen that before

So I don’t know

I don’t play on JP

Maybe it is? I dunno how you’d be able to report someone for that

[rapid whale]

they prob want someone they can communicate with i g

[amber fable]

imagine making fr only pf in eu

[amber fable]

its just middle most data in set of data...so it dont mean shit if your data set is like 5?

[dull drum]

yeah it is bro just travel to japan

same deal there once you get out of the trifecta of usual destinations

[scarlet idol]

What if I speak JP

[dull drum]

wouldnt matter if you werent jp born/family

[amber fable]

then no issue?

[scarlet idol]

U think they gonna see my client on EN and just insta kick me

[amber fable]

idk

[tulip anvil]

yes

[amber fable]

maybe

[tulip anvil]

you will be BANNED

[scarlet idol]

https://tenor.com/view/big-dawg-big-dawg-eat-big-dog-eat-big-dog-bulldog-gif-6404988919481788228

[sleek moon]

that is very common in jp dcs

[scarlet idol]

Yeah but it's usually JP only or speak japanese

[sleek moon]

and yeah they can kick you if your client isnt en

well these jp-native-only arent as common as jp-only

but they are still around

[dull drum]

i mean i figure native jp means only japanese people in general

after all it says native yeah

[amber fable]

whos checking your race brah

will they facetime you to confirm?

[dull drum]

they drop a pop quiz on your ass

[sleek moon]

i forgot the thread i saw, its been too long, but sometimes they do drop trick questions to see how you respond

[dapper zealot]

people starting passport check race now

[amber fable]

i mean passport is w/e

[sleek moon]

and translators can't do a very good job with JP

[amber fable]

and language is fine to a degree since jp only might not know english

[dull drum]

when they see your passport says USA instead of JP

[scarlet idol]

It's over for Koji Fox

[dapper zealot]

wait, this is what the new Discord face/ID check is for

[amber fable]

man yoshi p cant speak english and the guy has to advertize his game

so yeah...

[sleek moon]

there's a like 12 year old post in the JP forum with people split about foreigners in party

[tulip anvil]

how much you wanna bet that the guy locking his party isnt very good

[sleek moon]

people still argue about it today

[dull drum]

i mean it wouldnt shock me? they could prob play better than all of NA pf lobotimzedpeople though tbh

[scarlet idol]

Alright calm down

WK is probably than them no cap

I have experience JP player skills

[dull drum]

WOAH

we cant say his full name or you’ll end up in his yt video

gotta keep it lowkey

wk

[scarlet idol]

mb

[dull drum]

plus bro dropped an m10s rant last week

shit was comical

[scarlet idol]

He just dropped an M11S 6 mins rant

u saw that

[dull drum]

I DIDNT

[dapper zealot]

Some say if you look at PF after midnight and say his name three times, he'll appear

[dull drum]

bros an urban legend atp

[rapid whale]

holy

[scarlet idol]

I haven''t listen to all of it

Imma listen to it now

[tulip anvil]

who?

[scarlet idol]

WK

[amber fable]

whom?

i legit dont follow ff14 players beside if thier name drops in some drama or something

[stray forge]

[dull drum]

fucking peak content

[wicked delta]

Worst pf known to man

[dull drum]

bro i could barely hear the m10s one

because he was blasting MHA music

😭

[tulip anvil]

is that wwwwtsa?

[stray forge]

No it’s some player named dender

[tulip anvil]

D:

[stray forge]

How do these recordings even get out

[sleek moon]

i heard that whm rant and reminded me of @jolly flume before that plenary change

[stray forge]

Does he post them

And why

Okay I’ve lost interest actually nvm

Time to cook some crazy eggs

[dull drum]

he posts it yeah

this one survived longer than i thought

the m10s got posted in another server but got deleted, my friend saved a copy though

🥹

[tulip anvil]

im sdaving these

but this is from the W guy right?

[amber fable]

sounds like average r/ffxivdiscussion rant thread

[sinful brook]

Who's putting the backing tracks on these

[woven relic]

does anyone know if the post patch dungeons that are all level x0 give more exp than that x7, x9 dungeons? or is it the same?

[lyric summit]

they give way way less

so you don't overlevel while doing old 'level cap' content

[woven relic]

ah okay i was wondering why it was gonna take me 5 runs to level up onice lol

so the x9 ones are the way to go?

[lyric summit]

ye

[balmy wharf]

Yup

[woven relic]

cool thanks

[tulip anvil]

thats why high level dungeons is a bad roulette

[dapper zealot]

yeah you really only do that if you're farming tomes

[woven relic]

and what is the best way to cap on the 450 tomes per week? none of the content i seem to enjoy doing gives them so i never get any

[tulip anvil]

if you wanna get it done in a day, spam expert

its not fun but its optimal

[woven relic]

is there a way to do it if ur waiting in a party finder?

[tulip anvil]

no

well, theres the daily allied society quests

but thats once a day

[dapper zealot]

Those only give poetics don't they?

[valid solar]

you could join a hunt train

but that depends on one going on while you're waiting

[sleek moon]

pretty hard to get max credit out of party in a hunt train though

[valid solar]

true

[tulip anvil]

if ur lvl 100 doing the pelu pelu ones you get like 5 capped tomes

per quest\

so 15

[sinful brook]

15 a day is only 105 in the week

[torn kindle]

Yeah if you want to cap relatively fast you need to do roulettes, hunts, or spam level 100 normal trials/raids/24-mans

[odd beacon]

Whats the exact date we're expecting 7.5 again?

nvm 28th april

[valid solar]

10 mil for m10 and it was a 1 pull

https://giphy.com/gifs/emoticon-holy-moly-qMeAAiwiq5Oi1sqZDu

I am now in the triple digit millions

[finite plank]

you're now upper poverty class

this is looking like a 8 weeks of m12s to get weapon angle

[thin tartan]

yay!

[abstract hollow]

broke ass

[valid solar]

mb

Quick question, the dmg buff of dance partner doesn't count for your parse, but the crit rate you get from devilment does, right ?

[tulip anvil]

thats a really good question i'd like to know the answer to too

[robust shoal]

it doesn't

[tulip anvil]

then how does that work

since crits are luck based how do you know if the extra crit rate from devilment helped at all?

[robust shoal]

it credits a portion of the damage from each crit to the dnc

[valid solar]

interesting, I see

wait does that mean if youre unlucky having DP could actually reduce your parse

[amber fable]

For a dnc

I mean..unless dp was straight ass

[robust shoal]

I'm not 100% on how being on the fringes would affect it

I think theoretically it could because fflogs can't read your actual crit rate

[valid solar]

I see, pretty interesting

[finite plank]

the likelihood of it lowering your parse should be... low, but it is possible

most of the time... well, with some luck and not having abysmal luck while being dp'd, you'd get oranges

[dim pollen]

Man there is no better feeling then losing your loot with a 94

I dunno why I expected to get anything

[valid solar]

If both the dmg buff and the devilment crit are accounted for, what part of DP affects the parse?

[alpine plover]

in a way, the parse is influenced by how much damage your party is doing under your buff(s)

so in dnc's case it should just always be affected by your dance partner

doing anything

[valid solar]

I'm referring from the perspective of the other person with the partner buff

[alpine plover]

uh

good question

let me check my drg's logs

[robust shoal]

dp doesn't affect their parse at all, assuming the crit/dh are properly factored out

rdps was literally created specifically to filter out dnc partner influence on parses

[alpine plover]

yea

[alpine plover]

so nothing for them

[valid solar]

[spice path]

Weird. My parse is always higher with dp. Like sometimes 2-3k.

[finite plank]

it's usually purples for me

once lucky, orange

[alpine plover]

it's the ego inflation

[finite plank]

i feel more cursed with dp

[alpine plover]

the ego deflation

[robust shoal]

you deal more damage but it doesn't factor that extra damage into rankings

except for ally raid

[valid solar]

Damage numbers when the player has bis, is good, and gets dp is kinda funny

43k rdps nin in my m10

[amber fable]

43k rdps..must be r1

[robust shoal]

back in my day 6k dps was a heater

I've lost my concept of how much damage people do since shb

[amber fable]

I remember when my skill did 1k damage and that would bring pog reaction....

[robust shoal]

except I know 30k adps is pretty good on tanks rn

[amber fable]

30k adps is higher end yeah

Its okay..all my crap runs are blue to purple in speed

My contribution wasnt wasted fr fr

[valid solar]

Nah they got 96, it hit 43k because of dance partner

[amber fable]

Yeah..43k rdps would have been that I reckon

43k raw dps is more within expectations

[tired egret]

same but with T8S... I am close yet somehow it still goes wrong

[hidden stag]

Why is m12s easier to prog than m11s am I tripping?

[remote gate]

playing in traffic is the name of a book I managed to get banned in middle school

[alpine plover]

cuz it is

m11s is fast

m12s p1 only real mechanic is crude coil

[zealous meteor]

well they cleared

[alpine plover]

p2 is a bit more technical tho

[sly basin]

i gollow them on twitter hehe

[odd beacon]

bro come on

idm ads but like

put it somewhere that doesnt do this

just a row on top would work fine

after i zapped it

[alpine plover]

where your ucob and tea

[odd beacon]

when i stop procrastinating

[alpine plover]

understandable

[odd beacon]

i have to ask friends to speed my ass through it because I am NOT joining cob/tea statics in 2026

[alpine plover]

tea is pretty free

[odd beacon]

ya its just

anyone fresh tea in 2026 is gonna be dog

[alpine plover]

yuh

[odd beacon]

or rather very good chance they are

[zealous meteor]

mb

[alpine plover]

if you have friends

you're finished in a week probably

[odd beacon]

i do just havent gotten around to doing it

[alpine plover]

yea understandable

still trying to convince static to do ucob

but they'd rather reprog top

mfw

[zealous meteor]

they HATE bahamut

[alpine plover]

they hate twisters

the ucob twisters are the hardest mechanic in the game after all

[tired egret]

hear me out

get them to do T5 to practice twisters

:p

[loud nymph]

m11s kinda dogwater tbh

weapons are boring and why do you do flatliner twice

smh

[valid solar]

to test your pf luck if these guys can somehow do the mech right twice in a row

[loud nymph]

😩

[worn bluff]

12-1 is the most chill fight this tier

[molten moon]

C4kou time? 👀

[worn bluff]

i hate bats

[sly crescent]

Hey, sorry if this is a dumb question but I haven't found a straight answer on Google. Can I only turn in level 100 collectables when I hit level 100?

[finite plank]

no, you can still turn in non capped collectables for scrips

[sly crescent]

What might I be missing, then? I've got Rarified Magnesite and Ra'Kaznar Ores but the Nexus Arcade appraiser wouldn't take 'em

Lv97 miner atm, for reference

[finite plank]

what quality is it

[cerulean crown]

both of those are level 100 collectables, which is why you can't turn them in. they're just for orange scrips

[sly crescent]

Ah I knew it lol. Ty

[versed kayak]

I think they may have understood your question as "Once I reach level 100 I can only turn in level 100 collectables and nothing else" hence their answer that you can still turn in low level ones when you are lvl 100

[sly crescent]

Ohhh I see now, I put the "only" in a weird spot. My bad

[mortal stone]

Can one of you delightful people ping me with a raid plan for uptime idyllic

Static wants to do it tonight and I need to look at it and update my macros

[grand mesa]

I do not have a macro but

*raidplan

But

All that's changed is that g1 is east, stacks on 2 and defam goes NE

G2 is west , stacks on 4 and defam goes NW

[mortal stone]

I guess that’s pretty much exactly what I was looking for anyway thanks lol

[grand mesa]

Assuming DN markers

The groups are that way just so people stay roughly within the color markers that they took their initial boss tethers from

And

When you avoid defamation, you can pretty much just be max melee south of boss and be safe

[mortal stone]

Markers may not be correct but it’s this right

[grand mesa]

Yea

The number markers are correct on that

G1 (stack/defam 1 and 2) is east there

[mortal stone]

Oh ok so the stacks would go to 4 and 2

[grand mesa]

G2 (34) is west

Mhm

[mortal stone]

And then just go south when defams go

[grand mesa]

Mhm

[mortal stone]

Ok I’ll update my macros before reclears tonight ty very helpful

[grand mesa]

The strat change made the dps check for this phase even easier than it was in early weeks, I think

Had a run with 6-8 or so deaths and we were still on track to kill before enrage cast

[mortal stone]

We’ve been doing the old strat and we’ve been clearing it pretty fast so if it’s that much improvement maybe we won’t even see enrage sequence lol

And that was without DPS lb most of the time

[grand mesa]

Probably, yeah

It's just nice to have another easy 2min window

That, and everyone actually gets hits by my healing for once

[clear plume]

Killing during the 2m with tankbuster is very normal yeah

[jolly flume]

we had like 8:35 with splits and a death last week I think so

for funny numbers it's sounding like a chiyo shiomi gets on white mage and doesn't press buttons angle

we also still do caro

[clear plume]

They need to fix resource runs working on fflogs

They’re broken rn and it’s sad I want my mch free gold

Although I’m kind of pogged off rn bc I got dnc drop yesterday so I’m 3/3 prange without a coffer

[valid solar]

how are they broken ?

[clear plume]

They don’t rank bc of the uh check for buffs/debuffs with infinite durations thing they added

And we just haven’t had one since it’s added

It’s in the works to be fixed but hasn’t been yet

[grand mesa]

i need more tea totems

[jolly flume]

I don't even know what I'd play in tea that would interest me anymore

[grand mesa]

i just wanna hit boss..

[low hearth]

Viper

[jolly flume]

jagd doll russian roulette with mog of the ages

I was gonna derust top once we finished up with this tier but now idk if I even wanna do that

might just run another learning group for something

[finite plank]

viper is...

why

they have nothing sub 90

[wind cypress]

last night a dark knight forgot invuln in m11s at 0.5% and wiped the group on ttp eye twitch - another pf farm from 6pm - 1am tonight I guess, see if I get lucky xD

[jolly flume]

failing living dead should be punishable by death

like irl

[grand mesa]

Erm

Maybe not that far

[random needle]

Do a channy and run it as MRD

[finite plank]

wdym do a chany

[jolly flume]

ok but at least stubbing your toe on something when you get out of bed in the morning

like how do you do that

[random needle]

When channy leveled MRD from 1-100 before advancing MSQ past Sastasha

[finite plank]

i do not remember that happening

[grand mesa]

Acceptable

[sinful brook]

keep up i do this every expansion

[finite plank]

you dont have every job to a 100 besides blu yet?

[vestal hollow]

can u clear me thru tea

im new

[grand mesa]

When do we start

[vestal hollow]

uhm

[valid solar]

3 minutes go go go

[vestal hollow]

[grand mesa]

I'll make coffee and put the pf up after

That sound good to you?

[vestal hollow]

i HAVE WORK

IM EMPLOYED

[grand mesa]

I forgot your timezone, mb

[vestal hollow]

yeah everyone forgets im aus

and work night shift

[sinful brook]

this is on an alt lol

[grand mesa]

Yeah, mb

[sinful brook]

my main is already mostly capped

besides blu

[jolly flume]

holy shit

you said the word capped

and I just realized I haven't capped my tomes for 3 weeks

[sinful brook]

gg

[grand mesa]

I usually don't level jobs I don't like

[jolly flume]

gaaaah
