val idk when the last time u played w/ wk but

they unironically have macros just to scream what mits etc to use

[terse zodiac]

he also has a youtube where he sang a cover of dragonsong 😭

[wicked delta]

children of the land do you hear

[grand mesa]

i was in one party with them once out of sheer curiosity

[daring pine]

ok guys time for me to attempt m10 reclear again

[grand mesa]

i respect myself too much

[rapid whale]

[wicked delta]

can we get an endgame lounge dsr cover

[rapid whale]

i veto that and propose the mirror

[thin fox]

in my head its funniest if WK is extremely normal and chill in any context that isnt ff14 raiding

[wicked delta]

i dont even understand half of the things they say in the mirror

i agree

[grand mesa]

tbh

[wicked delta]

lets do the mirror instead

[rapid whale]

imagine them as like a social worker irl

[grand mesa]

if I have a friend that acts like a total troglodyte when raiding with other ppl id reconsider my friendship with them

pls be normal

[thin fox]

I wouldn't like them either way its just a funny mental image

you when no indoms

[thin fox]

I feel like every tier I somehow think less of people

[grand mesa]

wanting ppl to be mildly competent at a video game where one mistake wipes you is a small ask

[jolly flume]

I love indomitability!!

[thin fox]

I'm still junst like flabbergasted that in my m10s reclear one of the melee said they ONLY know m2

like

what does that even mean

what do you mean you only know m2

[grand mesa]

some ppl are just awfully inflexible

[vast jacinth]

My brain is so used to h1 spot muscle memory wise

[rapid whale]

idk im of the opinion if you shit talk ppl in private im kinda w/e about it; it's when you turn toxic in party chat that ur kinda dead to me

[grand mesa]

tbf

[thin fox]

it would make more sense to say this about m9s than m10. it would still be insane for m9 but i say this to emphasise how its EXTRA insane for 10.

[grand mesa]

healers are

a set thing in pf

but if ur playing melee u should be ready to flex

its not like the positions for the mechanics are that much different

[jolly flume]

im incapable of turning my brain on for savage anymore

never let chiyo shiomi play h2

[grand mesa]

ty for letting me h2 m11

[vast jacinth]

Anyways i should try and sleep a bit, behave or smth

[grand mesa]

that was really comfy

[thin fox]

i literally dps as alt job and i can flex every single spot its crazy that there are people who MAIN dps and cant even flex m1/m2

😭

Use The Right Toppings in My Chipotle Order or Get Out of My Town
I'm Watashia and I'm fucking done babysitting shitters who refuse to give me the right toppings. This isn't about Michelin stars—it's about not being deadweight. When my Chipotle order is dry because you're too lazy to give me enough sauce, you're getting CARRIED and you don't deserve your paycheck.
REQUIREMENTS FOR MY CHIPOTLE ORDERS - NOT SUGGESTIONS:

[rapid whale]

ive done every position as fake melee/prange as picto

[grand mesa]

same reason why ppl play viper and still can't do mechanics despite having the easiest job in the game

[daring pine]

man its cold today

[jolly flume]

dry chipotle is the worst

[rapid whale]

at least viper has the apm argument

[jolly flume]

load me up on the hot salsa chief

[rapid whale]

i do dbl scoop hot, single scoop medium, single scoop pico

[grand mesa]

i scooped ur mother into my arms last night

[thin fox]

scoop THIS

[rapid whale]

so ur the one who ate my cupcake

[thin fox]

[jolly flume]

white, no beans, chicken, pico, double hot, double corn, lettuce

[daring pine]

my mother’s too large for that

[jolly flume]

[grand mesa]

yeah?

[rapid whale]

wtf no bean

[jolly flume]

I'm not a bean enjoyer

[thin fox]

chiyo arent u forgetting

[jolly flume]

not the chipotle ones anyway

[rapid whale]

beans r a delicious source of protein and fiber

[thin fox]

a very important part of ur order

[worn bluff]

black beans

[jolly flume]

refried beans are good

[jolly flume]

they dont have coleslaw at chipotle

:((((

[grand mesa]

we dont have chipotle in my country

[rapid whale]

is pico basically mexican coleslaw?? /s

[wicked delta]

https://tenor.com/view/coleslaw-wtdg-ld-function-midas-coleslaw-gif-14712456131326034818

[jolly flume]

actually the best thing about chipotle

is their salad vinaigrette ngl

I stole their recipe when I used to work there

best thing ever

[rapid whale]

i remember when chipotle used to be considered the value king for your money

like an actually insane amount of calories per dollar

[thin fox]

"homemade chipotle" u rly are white

[grand mesa]

blame venture capital

[jolly flume]

halal cart on the side of the road is calorie per dollar value now

[grand mesa]

... unless chipotle is privately owned and still manages to price itself like dogshit

[jolly flume]

its still like $7 for a lamb over rice here

[worn bluff]

mmm 53rd and 6th

[grand mesa]

i heard u can get food at family restaurants and still get it cheaper

and still get better food

[wicked delta]

HOLY SHIT theres a chipotle in the netherlands

NEVERMIND its in amsterdam

[thin fox]

ppl in the netherlands be like "lets go eat ethnic food" and its chipotle

[rapid whale]

chipotle used to be like, C+ tier food at C tier price, but A+ tier portions; now it's like C+ tier food, at A tier price (it's like what 20 bucks now?) with D tier portions (unironically less than half the size it used to be)

[jolly flume]

tbf chipotle food still tastes pretty good imo

its just overpriced as shit

[grand mesa]

its time for the chipotle pilgrimage

[jolly flume]

and they are RATIONING you with the portions man

[rapid whale]

yeah

[craggy marsh]

tfw you politely ask the group to clear comms so you can do callouts and so people can also focus up and everyone says "Okay" and then 30 seconds later someone starts talking about something that happened to them irl and makes everyone miss the 2 way callout at the end

[grand mesa]

im ngl

if ppl keep yapping when i ask for clear comms

i just scream

[rapid whale]

see those r not raiders, those r friends having a raid night

big big big diff

[craggy marsh]

Yeaaah

[grand mesa]

that is also true

[thin fox]

in my dsr static when people wouldnt clear comms i had a foghorn soundboard

[craggy marsh]

theres someone in this party that allergic to not speaking every 5 seconds

[jolly flume]

oh

thanks for reminding me

[craggy marsh]

I have no idea wtf kind of mentality that is but i'm just gonna mute em for my own sanity

[grand mesa]

u dont want to hear me scream

[thin fox]

i do

[jolly flume]

I was gonna cut up the watashia song for the soundboard

[grand mesa]

smh

take me out to dinner first

go war pld or dont queue

im still listening to that song every night

[worn bluff]

can’t believe someone made ai slop song out of wk

[thin fox]

hes so funny in a way that only a person who is sincerely insane can be

[worn bluff]

wk carbon footprint going up

[jolly flume]

rare ai gem tbh

[terse zodiac]

why did the forum post disappear

[jolly flume]

its only right that we respond to a waste of oxygen with something equally useless

[thin fox]

GNB/DRK TOGETHER = INSTANT BLACKLIST. You have ZERO useful party mit. Everything is physical damage. You're dead fucking weight griefing 6 other people. Play PLD/WAR or don't queue.

[worn bluff]

is the audio him or someone else?

the voice

[grand mesa]

ok, im starting to see wk's problem

[jolly flume]

the original rant was him talking

the song's ai

[worn bluff]

where can i subscribe to his rants

[thin fox]

the thing is like

[worn bluff]

wk podcast when

[terse zodiac]

do you want a real answer to that

[grand mesa]

6 ed opener is wild work

[thin fox]

wk is 100% right that people dont mit m11 nearly as much as they should

[jolly flume]

already is one

[thin fox]

but its hard to sympathise when i know wk just wants to broil

[thin fox]

who up drainin they energy

[worn bluff]

rapid broil build

[jolly flume]

bro acts like he's god's appointed savior and still gets dogshit uptime and dogshit healing

gg

[daring pine]

wtf 4 people joined my pf at once

pog

[grand mesa]

this is actually criminal

[jolly flume]

wait that goes crazy

lmao

[wicked delta]

straight up draining it

[thin fox]

is this wk

[wicked delta]

and by it

i mean my energy

[daring pine]

the energy drainer

[grand mesa]

yes

they still have more gcd heals than another healer I played with btw

[thin fox]

like this is why im like ok wk is right that people dont mit but lmao i know why wk specifically is mad about it

[grand mesa]

and less HPS

[daring pine]

guys where are my buffs

[grand mesa]

somehow

[worn bluff]

you got raided

[terse zodiac]

this is the fella that thinks he is the god of mitigation and all mit sheets are terrible except whatever he works out

yes yes clearly

[jolly flume]

this is already like the limit of what im willing to do with my stacks

[thin fox]

the mit sheets are kinda bad tbh but its w.e

[rapid whale]

And you parse higher

[thin fox]

well i think the top one was fine

dsr was dogshit though

[grand mesa]

bro is pressing 3x ED just to press concitation like a dumbass when he doesn't have resources for indom

[jolly flume]

hes only has to press concitation because nobody else is mitting

duh

[worn bluff]

weapons prog (checking passport). watashia mit. circle markers, PPP enrage towers

[jolly flume]

press your mit or get out of my pf!!

[rapid whale]

Yeah I had to explain to someone an Ed that leads to agcd heal later is actually a bigger loss lol

Basic math

[jolly flume]

3 EDs isn't even worth a broil

[terse zodiac]

low key call it W mitty and i bet it will catch on

[jolly flume]

wkmitty would go hard

[wicked delta]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-PR2cobFg7E

[worn bluff]

i would actually love it if he required PPP towers

[thin fox]

AMERICA, IF YOU'RE LISTENING TO THE RADIO RIGHT NOW, I WANT YOU TO KNOW, IF YOU SEE WATASHIA KAMIDESU IN THE PARTY FINDER, YOU CAN JUST UNBIND FEINT FROM YOUR HOTBAR. JUST COMPLETELY REMOVE FEINT FROM THE HOTBAR AND DON'T ADD IT BACK UNTIL HE'S GONE.

[worn bluff]

PPP TOWERS. NO INVULN ANY GREAT WALL. INVULN ARENA SPLIT AUTOS

[stray forge]

whats feint

?....

healer skill?

[jolly flume]

a cosmetic button

in the wise words of some dude in a youtube comments section

[sleek moon]

they should give feint kaiten's animation

[grand mesa]

dont look in the mirror at 3 am
do not say mitigation 3 times
or wk will come haunt u

[jolly flume]

it doesn't increase your damage so you don't need to use it

[grand mesa]

we should probably stop before some sprout looks in here and takes us seriously

[daring pine]

brb

[thin fox]

what if we were both raiders,, and went into the party finder,, and touched feints

[grand mesa]

[jolly flume]

what if we gapclosed vamp stomp together

[grand mesa]

man

i had to explain to someone that gapclosing vamp stomp

[daring pine]

ok well

m10 reclear attempt time

[grand mesa]

is the ingame equivalent of sending someone a pipebomb

[thin fox]

vamp stomp is the reason that m9s is the hardest fight to reclear

because melee

who think theyre HIM

who jsut kill themselves and another player

[stray forge]

What if u think ur her

[thin fox]

women respect mechanics

[grand mesa]

during vamp stomp

[jolly flume]

I never recovered from noble saying "you know why this is the easiest mechanic" and then immediately dying to vamp stomp

[daring pine]

@jolly flume wtf

lizard

[grand mesa]

i just sit in the corner like a good little ranged and close my eyes

hoping my melees dont pvp each other

[daring pine]

lizard tank

[thin fox]

lowkey if youre a ranged and die to vamp stomp

[grand mesa]

gg

[thin fox]

uninstall

[grand mesa]

we

[stray forge]

Lowkenuinlu

[grand mesa]

lost an entire hour to vamp stomp in reclears once

[jolly flume]

https://medal.tv/games/ff-xiv-online/clips/lY7JIOsTd2cBUOrOz?invite=cr-MSxoQmosMjEwOTg5MDQ5&v=15

[grand mesa]

actually hardest mechanic in the tier

[daring pine]

are you fucking kidding me

[thin fox]

also

[grand mesa]

oneshot every fight after btw

[thin fox]

i started doing the terrorist gap close

[grand mesa]

[thin fox]

at the end of snaking

[grand mesa]

that's fine

bc it doesnt actually kill any1

and gives u cleave uptime

[thin fox]

it kills them irl

[grand mesa]

yeah well

thats on them

[stray forge]

What is the terrorist gap close during snaking

[grand mesa]

i just giggle when i see it

[jolly flume]

gapclose for deep impact as soon as the castbar ends

animatino plays in the party

[grand mesa]

if you gapclose end of buster castbar, you'll snapshot it away from group

[jolly flume]

everyone pisses themselves

[grand mesa]

but it'll look like the party gets cleaved

and the boss doesnt move

[thin fox]

yeah the damage will happen outside the party but the animation plays on top of the party

its so fucking scary looking

[stray forge]

Our healers rescue the tank during deep impact

And it’s terrifying

[rapid whale]

?

[grand mesa]

it's optimal for keeping the bosses clumped up for 2 target

[thin fox]

its p easy to time too

[stray forge]

As a meme

[thin fox]

literally just as soon as the castbar disappears you hit gap close

[grand mesa]

yea

[thin fox]

oh btw

[grand mesa]

i love giving my dps players heart attacks

[thin fox]

i can confirm that if you dont hit anti-kb then the knockback will be relative to the original snapshot and not your gap closed position

[grand mesa]

yea

if ur invulning as non war there u likely dont care either way

unless you somehow catapult urself into the wall

[thin fox]

my fav thing to do in this game is time a gap close so the damage is snapshotted far and the animation plays close

feel fear

[worn bluff]

the less cool but more optimal way to do the snaking water buster is to just voke red and not gap close. both bosses stay together and melees get positionals

but i prefer to scare the party

[jolly flume]

my fav thing to do is

and stare at my character

[grand mesa]

ur still losing 2 target uptime if u have to voke red..

also

scaring the party is funnier

it's better bc of that

[worn bluff]

well you just walk out a few steps

both bosses move a little and stay on top of each other

[grand mesa]

hm, fair

but also

scaring the party is funnier

[stray forge]

Who wants to be my shmuck for criterion

[worn bluff]

i saw someone do it but i just do funny gap close

[wind cypress]

so many loot master pfs lol

[grand mesa]

im looking for people to do criterion with sometime

[jolly flume]

criterion is peak

[grand mesa]

when bad pfs meet I don't wanna reclear anymore

[sleek moon]

walk into the fire like a chad and take the buster there with invuln

[thin fox]

omg hi

[grand mesa]

hii

[thin fox]

do you mean the old ones or the new one

[grand mesa]

new

ngl

i havent done old either

[thin fox]

i've done most of aloalo

and like 2 bosses in rokkon

have not touched sildhin

[grand mesa]

rokkon? rokkon dn..

mb

[thin fox]

i want to do new one too

[stray forge]

Isn’t the new one in like

2 weeks

[jolly flume]

march 3rd

projected

[thin fox]

oh gulp i might be a little away from bis

[grand mesa]

uh oh

[stray forge]

You need BIS to do it

[jolly flume]

not really

esp since theoretically the tuning wont be like old criterion savage

very theoretically

bis was pretty impt for old crit savage but that was more because of hp than anything else lol that shit hurt

[thin fox]

i'm almost bis on caster at least

[daring pine]

ok i got my reclear

[thin fox]

i think i need like 1 twine 1 glaze and the weaponf

[daring pine]

i played fucking horribly though we dont talk about it

[sleek moon]

bis or kick

[grand mesa]

man

i need 5 tome pieces for blm bis

this is fucked up

[daring pine]

guys

i rolled 91 on hand coffer

and i didnt get it

do i just end it all rn

[grand mesa]

at least this wasnt abyssos where i chose a blm bis with 4 tome accessories

[grand mesa]

gg

[thin fox]

i can't even say oh i roll good but still don't win

i just roll like

30 on everything

like fuck me ig

[grand mesa]

omw.

erm

[thin fox]

i am missing SO much gear on tank despite clearing w1

[jolly flume]

[daring pine]

i died twice wtf was i doing bro

[grand mesa]

i know a lot of ppl who lootmaster out of desperation

[thin fox]

[grand mesa]

tbh

[sleek moon]

pay mercs for full loot

[thin fox]

i need like

[daring pine]

ngl we only recleared because i did lb3

[thin fox]

2 twine 2 glaze head legs weapon on tank

[grand mesa]

my partner paid for mercs this tier bc they dont have the time or energy to reclear every week

[daring pine]

it was like

0.5 seconds until enrage cast finished

[sleek moon]

i still cant believe full loot runs are so cheap

[jolly flume]

my melee for criterion is a healer player that we shoved onto monk and my ranged is a dancer one trick that we shoved onto mch

[grand mesa]

paid 5mil for m11 recently

[daring pine]

i dont WANT it

[grand mesa]

ngl

[thin fox]

THEN WHY'D YOU ROLL ON IT

[daring pine]

because im GREEDY!

[grand mesa]

sometimes you just have to suck it up and use non bis items for ilvl

[daring pine]

if i cant get the loot i want

then NOBODY can

https://tenor.com/view/bunny-vortex-spinning-bunnies-rabbits-gif-15089375409418219512

[thin fox]

i just use the raid boots on picto

even though i technically use tome

[daring pine]

sweats

[jolly flume]

I had to remeld like every week to fix my sps

fuck my chungus scholar life

I had to suffer through 2.42 for a week

[grand mesa]

i just drift or press ruin 2

it isnt worth it

[jolly flume]

[grand mesa]

i miss 2.5 gcd bis tbh

maybe im in the minority

[jolly flume]

its nice to have a true omni set with a) good mp b) not clipping 2s of dot every refresh

[grand mesa]

u get me..

i like the good mp part

[jolly flume]

the things I would do for sps to just have piety baked in so I could play 2.31 without exploding of cringe every time I have to raise

[grand mesa]

bc some mfs be finding every way to die sometimes

2 raises and im suddenly near oom bc i had to cast a gcd heal or two to save their ass

[worn bluff]

my favorite fight this tier is the one where i get lit on fire sometimes and the arena gets split into 2

[grand mesa]

erm

which one

[worn bluff]

you know

[jolly flume]

what did I log into the game for

[worn bluff]

the one

[jolly flume]

I forgor

[grand mesa]

yea

its time 2 do dsr chiyo

[jolly flume]

[sleek moon]

criterion better have limit cuts, we cant have a whole patch without limit cuts

watch it be another arena split

[jolly flume]

oh I found another reason to not play 2.31

[sleek moon]

disgusting

[grand mesa]

ew

[sleek moon]

honestly that fast ast set feels like lowkey griefing

[grand mesa]

i

seriously dont know why balance shills the fast set with no warnings

specially the min pie one

[jolly flume]

.31 ast has felt like shit since we lost astrodyne

[grand mesa]

yea

[jolly flume]

its funny

[grand mesa]

mid speed 1-2pie acc should be general use

[jolly flume]

bc like every week in one of the healer qs channels you'll get ppl like hey I'm running the .31 set and I'm going oom really fast should I just super ether on cd or run more piety

[grand mesa]

LMAO

[random needle]

Sorgy

[sleek moon]

my ast uses that one

if anyone dies late in the fight

[tulip wraith]

curtain call is fucking my ass up

[sleek moon]

it might as well be a wipe

no mp to recover

[tulip wraith]

but we lock in and persevere

[grand mesa]

i feel like some ppl look at a spreadsheet and hyper focus on the dps number- and dont consider the actual implications of having shit mp

[grand mesa]

ur ast is griefing

gg

[thin fox]

valval i need the hyperoptimal setup to make up for my 84% uptime in m11s

[jolly flume]

like I get it if you played a fast set for the last like 6 years and you hate how everything else feels now but there are fr people that just play it because it sims higher

[grand mesa]

sps is rotting ppls brains

[worn bluff]

flame floater

[jolly flume]

you lose more damage mp potting or melding piety than you would just dropping to 2.4

😭

[thin fox]

parse MONKEYS

[random needle]

Presumably if the balance guide was written by actual humans, they'd explain that a faster sps also means you oom more easily

[thin fox]

balance mentor

[stray forge]

presumably if it was read by actual humans

[thin fox]

human

[stray forge]

they would understand that if you cast more spell it means u have less mana

[random needle]

Allow me to emphasize the

if

[grand mesa]

max dmg 2.31 doesnt even sim higher than the max dmg 2.43 set btw

i guess you can get more slidecasts but

you lose casts if u oom in prog/messy clear

[thin fox]

who up ooming

[jolly flume]

it really needs to come with a disclaimer esp since the xivgear links don't come with mp/min sim active by default

[grand mesa]

yea

[jolly flume]

like you take one look at -550 mp/min and alarm bells should be ringing in your head instantly

[grand mesa]

Oh well

I feel like people managing those sheets probably don't play in messy pf environments where you don't have a dedicated raise caster during prog

You genuinely can just zombie pulls harder on whm to see more mechs sometimes just by the sheer mp econ you're afforded

[thin fox]

me when i'm forced into rdm to be a rezslave

[jolly flume]

”hold on i'm in my sword co-"

🔇

[grand mesa]

I once healed through the m4s mechanic that people usually tank lb3 just because of the sheer output cure 3 gives you

Well

I've done it a couple of times

[random needle]

Unless there's a body check coming in the next 20 seconds, you can stay on the floor, mister

[thin fox]

thank u valval... i trust u to keep my poor caster soul at a healthy hp ...

[grand mesa]

I once took a party from witching to sunrise in a lockout this way

me, a paladin and an rdm friend came up and zombied the entire raid through to near enrage

It was so funny

[rapid whale]

nobody has released more specimins than cats

in m4s

[thin fox]

real specimenposting is when u release m10s griefers into m11s pf

[rapid whale]

mb

[jolly flume]

11>12 was worse

[thin fox]

me when i release a 15k rdps healer into m11

[grand mesa]

I found it

Cinema

[thin fox]

cleanest uwu clear

[grand mesa]

i wish more groups just healed cross tail switch

helped me feel something

[versed kayak]

that reaper was not having a fun time

[grand mesa]

Buddy was seeing sunrise whether he wanted to or not

LMAO

[thin fox]

god

fuck uptime sunrise

terrorist ass strat

[grand mesa]

i think it's fine if ppl have braincells

pf unfortunately

does not

[thin fox]

its called uptime sunrise because you get to spend more time fighting the boss because everytime you do uptime sunrise you wipe

[trim frost]

true

[grand mesa]

skip sunrise or disband

[worn bluff]

people in 12 finding out what a mitigation is for the first time

[jolly flume]

I think the worst pull of 4 I ever had was this one

the first and only enrage of this fight I ever had in 60 kills

[trim frost]

even if you zombie through sunrise nobody bothers to learn the last mechanic either so it's just gg

the one time i saw sword quiver i was the only one doing it correctly

[jolly flume]

if you even see sunrise your damage isnt good enough to gaf about doing uptime sunrise

[trim frost]

embarrassing tbh

[grand mesa]

shouldve censored the pct name, ew

(i dont care)

[trim frost]

oh god

[jolly flume]

yeah that guy spawned in

my cohealer was pretty cool tho

[thin fox]

censor that ast

[jolly flume]

found out after it's lalatte's alt

[jolly flume]

that ast was based af

[wind cypress]

imma trash tank, need some icecream

got to the end of m11s reclear and popped invuln too early then the group poofed

[thin fox]

its actually so insane how goated drk not having to time invuln is

[jolly flume]

our drk has died to living dead 2 weeks in a row in m9s because the boss died while he was in walking dead

3 in a row perhaps

[grand mesa]

gg

[loud swift]

YAY we saw arena split in m10s after being stuck on nomnom for a while

[thin fox]

i had this happen in m11s because the boss died in the middle of my tank tower

i was so happy walking to the chest and i just fell over

[grand mesa]

[jolly flume]

that should disqualify you from rolling on loot

not that you'd win any anyway

[thin fox]

no root no loot

didnt make the tree you dont get any loot

[wind cypress]

I rarely ever mess up except when it counts 🤡

ah self grilling, makes me feel better - any who off to run another m11s

[nova needle]

Does it matter what tome accessory I augment first between slaying earring and necklace?

[jolly flume]

pick the one with better stats

[grand mesa]

if they're both the same substat

then, it likely doesn't matter

Though

The balance probably has a better gear upgrade prio to follow

The important bit is just making sure you keep your sks/gcd tier where you need it

Specially since the slaying jobs get fussy about it

[trim frost]

the yassing jobs

[jolly flume]

💅

[nova needle]

Well I'm playing DRG for the tier if that helps .3.

[stray forge]

Fussy little bun bun

new job just dropped, gleaner

[grand mesa]

If any of the upgrades get rid of sks you don't want, probably prioritize that first

[jolly flume]

from 30 seconds on etro they're nearly identical

flip a coin I guess

[sleek moon]

literally 10 crit lol

[jolly flume]

my laptop truncates the decimal points for some reason but both come out to 10265/100p with otherwise full bis

[uncut pebble]

what was ur tenacity

[wind cypress]

its low now, like 2300?

[stray forge]

I hear good things about that tenacity stat

reaaaal good things

[grand mesa]

oh my god

joking aside

[wind cypress]

Im working on getting it to 0?

[grand mesa]

I had a friend that mathed out crit tenacity bis for TOP

She found out you can have a permanent rampart on you at all times with CRT>TEN prio

[wind cypress]

yeah I run crit > then, its a decent dps vs defense if you can afford it 😄

[jolly flume]

rinon having a crazy challenge

2000 clears in pf

with random curses from chat and other stuff

such as party buff macro

[sick reef]

27 fkn mins for a m11

4 wipes

[worn bluff]

crowd control plugin would go hard in raiding

spawn yan

[alpine plover]

there's a few interesting ones

[amber fable]

Me when no content exist challenge /s

[proven pivot]

What’s the hardest m9s mechanic and why is it vamp stomp

[trim frost]

pvp mechanic

[craggy marsh]

From my experience people struggle with the adds

Them elusive sawblades the size of a truck

[fierce matrix]

Difference is a healer and extra mit can get you through that

Vamp stomp doesnt have that

Vamp stomp is basically "All at once, but watch out" the meme

[novel garden]

The moment when u see a melee/tank dash through the circle instead of walk in then dash and the explosion goes off mid fun times

[sleek moon]

I saw this in a random carrd and im making my group do it https://raidplan.io/plan/_liOJsCaPX_cZcMO#4

so they stop killing each other

[queen raft]

I wonder how this would work out with RPR's teleport ability

[amber fable]

The thing is if you stagger gap close

You can do it

But the time it takes for vuln to fall off..its easier to just walk back in

[alpine plover]

me trying to keep melee uptime while the wave happens:

[novel garden]

I mean u could potentially get in max melee on gapclose one gcd and then run out, just depends on where the bats spawn could favor for u or not, now with the rpr teleport I actually do wonder because as long u don't have anyone else gap close u could tech pop urs directly center under the boss before the ring even tech expands

[trim frost]

tbh

i dont care about uptime

[alpine plover]

i just take 2x holy sprit Ls

[trim frost]

im playing it safe it's fucking first floor

ur getting 2-3 unmends and ur gonna like it

[amber fable]

3 range gcd at vamp wont cause enrage

[daring pine]

tithus kitty!

[alpine plover]

when we're entering arena split in 11s with less than 40% boss hp , you tend to not care about parse anymore 😭

[amber fable]

Neither will it give you low parse either

[alpine plover]

marce!

[trim frost]

making everything uptime makes me wanna pop my head off

[daring pine]

https://tenor.com/view/squishy-cheeks-squish-squishy-cat-cute-cat-cute-kitty-gif-856270170628537976

[alpine plover]

ok our dps was pretty good now that i look at it

but still!

saw just first hit of 2nd tower

[rapid whale]

iirc speed kills are in the 940s

[zealous meteor]

231
i don't think the healers go in before tanks

[novel garden]

I said the same thing when the tier started then when pf in 12 p2 started pivoting to BC Rep 2

[trim frost]

actual uptime should only matter to like the top 5% of people because the expectation is that you just outgear the tightness of the dps check after week 3 or so

unless ur fucking stupid and you go into savage with unmelded full normal gear in which case you need to be slapped across the face

[alpine plover]

i think people expect uptime strats to increase the leverage

of dps in case a lot of oopsies happen

but they probably reduce it, depending on the strat, since it usually makes stuff tighter in execution instead

[timber stratus]

its funny because a ton of oopsies i see happen because people greed uptime too much

[trim frost]

it does also depend on how much back bending needs to happen for "uptime" to happen

[alpine plover]

i think the only good uptime strat rn is idylic

[trim frost]

that fuck ass tornados uptime raidplan

i need you to blow up

[alpine plover]

that one you just change the position of the defams which is whatever

[daring pine]

wtf is tornados uptime

m11?

[trim frost]

i havent seen uptime idyllic but it's probably fine bc i havent actually gotten to idyllic period

yeah

allat for one gcd mind you

[daring pine]

tornados lasts like two seconds bro

[alpine plover]

uptime tornado is like

insane level

[trim frost]

die die die die die die

[daring pine]

one gcd is not saving a cooked pull

[alpine plover]

[daring pine]

why are people so scared of doing like

one (1) ranged attack

please

if you need to throw out a couple ranged gcds over the course of a fight then it is what it is

[alpine plover]

me holding instant holy spirit till the last second just in case i need it for uptime:

[trim frost]

i'm probably thinking of a different uptime strat than this one but it was equally as stupid and the og poster was trying to defend themselves on twitter being like "i made this for fun!" keep it to your fucking self you are going to make pf worse for everyone

[tired egret]

Dawg get real, accept fate & spam ranged moves (if you even have those... looks at Monk)

[daring pine]

i mean mnk greeding uptime i get because you have like no range

but other jobs

urghh

[alpine plover]

the most greed in this tier is actually in 10

the fire bro jumping in narnia and the water bro becoming untargetable

[zealous meteor]

their greed sickens me

[daring pine]

deep blue becoming untargetable right before i press iron jaws

[tired egret]

For T8S, whenever I had allag field, I just spammed daggers & Raiton for dmg, and that shit was annoying.

If you can't be in melee range, use yo ranged option

[alpine plover]

or the very first mechanic where if you get 4 you have the choice to get the nobel prize for greed

[trim frost]

THIS FUCKING SHIT

[daring pine]

melees when they get 4 on flame floater pmo

[alpine plover]

[novel garden]

Like uptime idyllic after having to learn it over normal dn the spots it's much safer, but this is like all levels of insanity so much could go wrong there

[daring pine]

what the fuck

[zealous meteor]

[trim frost]

someone said this "made reclears comfy" by forcing both tanks to invuln here . ok

[alpine plover]

i wonder what happens if i invuln flame floater

do i die

[daring pine]

i kill you

[alpine plover]

or do i survive

[trim frost]

but you know what's actually kinda crazy

the fact that no one adopted the uptime strat for alarm 1

in the west anyway

idk about jp

[timber stratus]

alarm was always uptime tho as long as you could dodge

[trim frost]

smile

[timber stratus]

just a majority of tanks also dont know how to move a boss consistently

[alpine plover]

mb

me moving the boss in candies:

[trim frost]

the uptime strat was putting melees center north rotating cw and ranged outside south rotating ccw and you didn't move the boss at all

still a "just dodge" but like. little to no boss movement

[timber stratus]

that sounds pretty nice but requires ranged players to do something

and i dont trust ranged players

especially healers

[trim frost]

ok true

[timber stratus]

mmmm let me just slidecast 240 times oops i baited everything wrong tehee

[dapper zealot]

Sorry I'm new

[trim frost]

something funny happened in one of the 10s attempts i did with marce the other day

one of the healers just exploded for some fucking reason at the end of snaking and the other one was crazy late on the hardcast rez

and then neither of them took the add tower.

[timber stratus]

think m10 is my most hated fight this tier by far now

the bubble is such a fucking slog its so boring

[trim frost]

people are so crazy incompetent at that fight it's insane

this shit is not hard and it's week 7

[timber stratus]

yeah that too

[trim frost]

get a grip

[random needle]

MY BAD

[timber stratus]

fire group always turbo trolling and putting shit everywhere

[random needle]

Melees that shoot their fire protean straight out instead of angling toward the wall, may you stub your toe every night forever

[novel garden]

I had someone when I was progging the RP had tanks in bubble not healers, I had a whm go "why don't we put healers" told them I'm just following the RP they crashed out on me then light party I was like tf?

[trim frost]

im gonna start telling inconsistent people in reclears that they need to go back to prog parties

[timber stratus]

we need to be meaner

[random needle]

(I feel like I'm fine on most things except that I'm somehow always in the wrong corner at the start of alleyoop combo at the very end and get myself killed)

[novel garden]

Then I'm used to taking the downtime in fire/water snaking double alley so seeing a tank go to my spot as a melee to be told "get ur uptime dawg" I was like huh? This a new feeling

[random needle]

Which, I know I can preposition for that right after snaking. I thought I did, but then by the time I realized I hadn't, it was too late

[timber stratus]

im playing pranged so i dont have to do anything or think ever

because for some reason this game only designs mechanics for dps or supports and never for specific roles

bring back twintania fireballs

i dont think im ever playing phys ranged again after we are done with reclears, idk how people can play this its so boring 😭

[amber fable]

cuz its free

as a pf andy its a easy role to fill

go mch for better results

[timber stratus]

i mean sure i guess but its godawful

i really hope they do big job changes next xpac

[amber fable]

nice cope

[daring pine]

i mean you did do that

[random needle]

Well, next expac is probably gonna have a new physranged

[dapper zealot]

super compressed rng :)

[loud nymph]

fixed stamped go brrrrrrr

[trim frost]

i need to do it more

and i need to be more mean about it

[daring pine]

I feel like "orbital omen dds" should be the free space

[vast jacinth]

You forgot tank greeds meteors and gets snapshotted :) thats my favourite death

[dreamy whale]

what do I do about being worried I’ll be a bad raider

It’s worse than when I had tanxiety

[loud nymph]

realize that nobody in pf has that worry and yet they still get clears

[dreamy whale]

Oh true

[visual geyser]

You aren’t a bad raider if you are always trying to improve

Simple as that

Self awareness is 90% of the battle

[echo ibex]

.-.?

785 p1 kill hello what lol?

[grand mesa]

gg skill issue

[echo ibex]

sure ig

[jolly flume]

a safety net of 12 item levels over what you could clear the fight in

let em cook

[sinful brook]

"was trying to clear it with 786 on summoner"

[echo ibex]

Why

You have 93% uptime

On SMN

WHY DOES THE SHC HASVE 70%

WHAT

[loud nymph]

well, 80%

but yeah, that's bad

[grand mesa]

Check the analysis

[echo ibex]

Touche ig

[grand mesa]

tbf

They're running sps smn

Unless sps summoner gets them an extra phase end of fight

They're griefing

[wind cypress]

this is gold

[versed kayak]

damn, smn barely has anything on xiva wtf

[grand mesa]

There really isn't much to analyze

[versed kayak]

yeah and I guess most things it has can't be shown as bar

[grand mesa]

Yeah

Are you rolling your gcd? Are you completing your elemental phases?

[versed kayak]

just used to sam with 8 bars at the top or something

[grand mesa]

Smn is the closest we'll get to a spectator job

[wind cypress]

isn't summoner 90% free movement?

[grand mesa]

Closer to 95%

Garuda can be swifted

So it's only your ifrit gcds and your filler ruin you have to worry about

[grand mesa]

But yeah uh, I'm pretty sure that spellspeed is griefing unless they got an extra bahamut or pheonix end of fight

[molten moon]

WHY THE FUCK IS THAT 2.35 SUMMONER

FUCKING WHAAAAAT

Nah it's just griefing

You're drifting Demis out of buffs for no reason

It's not enough sps to get 7 demi GCDs too, you need like 2.12 or something for that

I wonder if their high ilvl is just because they grabbed any high ilvl gear and ignored substats

Which feels terrible on summoner

[grand mesa]

Probably

The only thing that job has going for it is buff feed too

So you're tossing that out of the window

Impressive

[molten moon]

Like even that little bit at the start has me going

Why is solar only summoned at 3s

It's literally the first GCD right after the precast ruin 3

So it should be closer to 1s

Ngl that really is a skill issue lmao

Wait did they shove a blm sps set on summoner

[grand mesa]

Probably

[molten moon]

Like why even play the lowest dps but easiest caster class if you can't play it well

[random needle]

The people freaking out the most over not being able to beat enrage are usually the reason why they can't beat enrage

[molten moon]

Heck, from personal experience, my mediocre + damage down blm can outdps whatever I can cook up on smn lol

[dreamy whale]

wait isn’t smn literally just spam legos how are they struggling

[molten moon]

2.35 sps

Lowest balance goes is 2.46

[dreamy whale]

Oic

[molten moon]

At that's only because of high ping

[dreamy whale]

I heard in a yt video (ik dont trust xivtubers) that blm is really the only caster that stacks spell speed

[molten moon]

Pretty much

And even then, you can run a crit blm

[dreamy whale]

Speaking of blm

[molten moon]

It's just up to your preference

[jolly flume]

I have met one good summoner player in my life ever

[dreamy whale]

Do I use paradox for damage or mobility

[random needle]

Yes

[loud nymph]

both

[molten moon]

Is that me 🥺

[dreamy whale]

Oic

[molten moon]

Use all paradox

It's good damage

[loud nymph]

you use it to move or force a weave window for triplecasts

but if the movement is not needed

you still use it

because it's good damage brent

[random needle]

At Lv90 onward, you can get 6 F4s and a Paradox in each fire phase

[molten moon]

Well

The one exception is if you do the 5+7 opener

[dreamy whale]

Rotation is blizz 3 > blizz 4 > F3 > F4 x6 > paradox > flare right

[molten moon]

Until your 2nd manafont, you need to open each fire phase with paradox + fire 3

[loud nymph]

well no

you don't use flare in single target

[molten moon]

Err

[dreamy whale]

Wait

[molten moon]

Do look at the balance

[dreamy whale]

I forgor

[loud nymph]

and you can paradox whenever

[molten moon]

Are you lvl 100 too

You're also missing ice paradox

[loud nymph]

and you forgot flare star

and ice paradox yeah

and thunder

[molten moon]

And thunder when the debuff is <5s

[loud nymph]

and despair

[molten moon]

Black mage doesn't have a set rotation per se

[dreamy whale]

Nah 91 I decided I don’t like brd so I’m getting blm to 96 before I continue msq

[molten moon]

You have things you need to use each cycle

Pretty sure you have despair at lvl 90

Flare is only for aoe

[dreamy whale]

Ye I do

[random needle]

Yes

[grand mesa]

It's neutral vs fire iv, it's mostly there to be a movement tool and give you a fire 3 proc for your next transition from ice to fire

[dreamy whale]

I just forgor the rotation

[random needle]

Despair is the Lv80 capstone skill I think?

[loud nymph]

each fire phase has:

• fire paradox
• 6 f4s
• despair
• flare star

each ice phase has:

• b4
• ice paradox

you also keep thunder up

[molten moon]

Fire 3

[loud nymph]

and use f3/b3 to swap to the respective stances

[loud nymph]

I was getting there

[molten moon]

[dreamy whale]

This is how I have my crossbars set up

[loud nymph]

and don't overcap polyglots

[remote gate]

xeno is lv 80 ability, despair is gained at lv 72

[grand mesa]

Seems fine

[random needle]

Oh oops

[remote gate]

lv 72 abilities fall under the tree of "why wasnt this part of the lv 70 kit"

[loud nymph]

shout out to old SMN that had summon bahamut unlocked by earning 2 dreadwyrm aether

and then at 72 they were like

[random needle]

Foul being the way it is at 70 makes me want to commit crimes

[loud nymph]

"actually you only need 1"

[remote gate]

arcane circle being lv 72 is crazy to me

[dreamy whale]

So ice phase I use ice paradox fire phase I use fire paradox

And polyglot is the timer based one right

[loud nymph]

yes but it's all the same button

and yes

polyglot is what you use for xeno (single target) or foul (aoe)

[random needle]

I mean... yes, but they're the same button both times

Both F1 and B1 turn into the same Paradox in phase transition

[dreamy whale]

Oh if its the same button why did the hotbar video I used say to slot b1 and f1

[loud nymph]

don't watch guides for hotbars

is the answer to that question

[random needle]

I keep both slotted in case I get level synced

[dreamy whale]

Oh right that was the reason

[random needle]

Which is also why I keep the basic starter heal buttons on swappable bars on healers, so if I queue into Sastasha on WHM for some godsforsaken reason, I don't have to fumble with throwing C1 on

[dreamy whale]

The level 90 caster tome armor is purdy

[loud nymph]

solution: don't play WHM, play SCH instead

[jolly flume]

last time I got sastasha I healed my tank with helios bc I couldn't be asked to find benefic

[dreamy whale]

I like the blm 90 tome weapon too

[remote gate]

reminder that YouTube videos can and will be outdated since square likes to change shit about jobs randomly

[dreamy whale]

The lantern

Wowza

[loud nymph]

just let eos handle it all

[dreamy whale]

I went into leveling roulette as warrior

Got brayflox

[dreamy whale]

Gimme back my mits and bloodwhetting pls

[loud nymph]

I got super high the other night and thought I queued for level cap dungeons and it took me until like 5 minutes into copperbell mines to realize I had queued for leveling roulette

[dreamy whale]

Lmaoo

[random needle]

Ph*s*ck

[loud nymph]

nah see that's the nice thing

when you get sastasha you just let eos do it all

because you have ruins to cast

[jolly flume]

I genuinely don't think I have ever pressed physick

like I've never had it bound once

[dreamy whale]

Yippee one line

[dreamy whale]

This is the greatest bit of ff14 fan content I’ve ever seen

[mossy eagle]

Theoretically if I was going to make a solo FC and build up submarines, how long would the process take from start of FC house acquisition to having submarines that generate a stupid amount of gil?

[torn mesa]

would take months

time depends on a few things

• how much you're willing to spend on sub parts
• what type of routes you're okay with accepting

[lyric summit]

3 months

+1 month for the fc to be able to buy land, if it's a new one

[static anvil]

so good

[visual geyser]

Insane quality for something not official

[mossy eagle]

Thanks for the info Vis and Noble

Mostly for curiosity's sake

[grand mesa]

oh

hector finally updated the audio in his banana codex video

[mossy eagle]

What did he change?

[quick flame]

WOAH THIS IS PEAK

[normal summit]

wait, I changed something?

[worn bluff]

you spoke his name and summoned him

you'll have to actually play the game first

I'm down to get on later though...

[visual geyser]

I’m so upset this isn’t a real anime

I NEED a ff14 anime now

[quick flame]

I’d take an adaptation of the story or just an isekai atp

[visual geyser]

Same

But that is insanely high quality for something they did for free

If I was square I’d get in contact with that artist immediately

[vestal hollow]

throw them a C&D 💔

[grand mesa]

[grand mesa]

idr there being anything about prios for tethers on release

but I also could have just misheard the entire thing

[low hearth]

[mossy eagle]

Both rep 2 strats have basically the same prio for tether pickup

[grand mesa]

yeah

[mossy eagle]

BC just swaps the gazes and the stacks

[grand mesa]

but i remember the initial bc2 video on release didn't mention the prio at all

unless im missing something

[mossy eagle]

Not to gaslight gatekeep and girl boss but based on Hector's response, you are probably misremembering

#endgame-lounge message

[grand mesa]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

but he also responded to my comment as if it wasn't there in initial release on his video

w/e

[mossy eagle]

Might be the timing of it

[grand mesa]

i very well could be misremembering

How far are you in atm

[dreamy whale]

I think I have low mechanic iq

[wicked delta]

Still arena split

That shit is kinda hard

[jolly flume]

she split my arena til I flatliner

[dreamy whale]

I be fucking up easy mechanics

Like bubbles

[grand mesa]

It's not too bad once you get it

Only issue is the positioning confuses ppl sometimes

[wicked delta]

Yeah I understand the mech its just

My positioning was kinda fucked lowkey

[vestal hollow]

come on kitten.

[grand mesa]

Fair enough

[wicked delta]

And sometimes id just get sniped

[vestal hollow]

let's clear tyrant.

[wicked delta]

[grand mesa]

Tbh

The hardest part about progging that is figuring out if ur griefing urself or if ur getting sniped bc the other person is fucking you over

If you have any vods id be able to tell you, though

[dreamy whale]

oh great news btw

Was doing dungeon spam to finish getting my blm up to msq level and I know what I gotta work on

[grand mesa]

Nice

[dreamy whale]

Gotta make sure I use despair after my F4s and also gotta make sure to save my xenoglossys

Without letting them overcap, I been using them as they come up which is incorrect

[wicked delta]

I’ll try to record some vods for review later

If possible

[grand mesa]

You should be saving them in case you have to move. Yeah

Once you're better at a fight and know how many you need for mechanics

You can consider banking and dumping more of them into raidbuffs to increase your contribution

[grand mesa]

Sounds good

[dreamy whale]

When I have to move I lose track of my rotation so I gotta work on that too

[grand mesa]

That'll come with time

[dreamy whale]

I might see about unlocking tea after work today

That’s eden savage right

[zealous meteor]

E4S yeah

[dreamy whale]

Okok

[grand mesa]

Yeah, I probably just misremembered, mb

I want to do savage after to get the mount
