has no buffs to feed, has no feed for buffs

fiery jewel
#

MCH biggest buff without even outright potency buff is just shifting more potency into the burst

#

that's what most of the rDPS jobs need

grand mesa
#

wildfire should just autocrit

terse zodiac
#

5 xeno 1 flarestar and still one of the worst burst windows

fiery jewel
#

VPR def needs more potency shifted into Reawaken for example

clear plume
#

my fav prange fact is that even sandbagging mch does less feed than dnc, as in not even factoring dp

worn bluff
#

what if they actually moved potency out of RPR filler so that bursts mattered

grand mesa
zealous meteor
#

don't speak this into existence

fiery jewel
#

RPR 123 combo just does too much dmg

worn bluff
#

420 potency to start 123 combo

#

wild

fiery jewel
#

most rpr players acknowledge this

terse zodiac
#

: ) realistically i think they could remove buffs from many jobs

grand mesa
#

anyways

fiery jewel
#

the dumb thing is rpr is the only melee that doesn't hit a 123 during burst since 5s enshroud

grand mesa
#

rpr needs the most help atm

fiery jewel
#

just makes no sense

#

I think RPR will be better in 7.5 ultimate

#

but both RPR and VPR need potency reshifting

jolly flume
#

can we help sage

fiery jewel
#

RPR is just an ultimate job they balance it around ultimate

#

VPR is just shit in every scenario

#

besides week 1

clear plume
#

ok but this is for sure a cooly alt

fiery jewel
jolly flume
#

😭

grand mesa
#

vpr is not optimal

#

but it's "fine"

worn bluff
#

well i mean i guess their 123 turns into blue 123

jolly flume
#

reawaken is bound to 123

fiery jewel
#

I think VPR hits a 123 at the tailend not sure tho

jolly flume
fiery jewel
#

could be wrong tbh

finite plank
#

they dont

#

it's vicewinder again

fiery jewel
#

ye I don't really get it

finite plank
#

or reawaken

fiery jewel
#

jobs like drg mnk actively hitting 123 during burst also

terse zodiac
#

since people been complaining about 2 minute meta for what will be 5 years, easiest way to fix it is remove the excess 2 minute buffs and split up cooldown timings

grand mesa
#

i love my opo gcds

fiery jewel
#

I agree they should remove raidbuffs from jobs that don't need them

fiery jewel
#

it would make balancing the game much easier

zealous meteor
grand mesa
#

we had something special in shadowbringers

#

but they decided to ruin it

fiery jewel
#

since right now they balance it around 2 things

#

week 1 savage prog and ultimate

jolly flume
#

I don't think 2m buffs are the problem, it's just that what you do between them is boring and irrelevant for like 20/21 jobs

low hearth
#

god this stupid ass uwu fight is NOT clearable without avengers

fiery jewel
#

cuz I think the raidbuff jobs are technically worse in week 1 savage prog but are outright better in ultimate prog

fiery jewel
#

but correct me if I'm wrong

jolly flume
#

samurai

grand mesa
#

tbh

jolly flume
#

I guess you could put mch up there

grand mesa
#

blm kind of doesn't care either

clear plume
jolly flume
#

my funny 10hb

zealous meteor
#

oh i would've guessed BRD because of its constant buffs

low hearth
#

i need the cool mint connect

terse zodiac
#

blm doesn't care but its not particularly interesting outside 2m window

#

its just the same always lol

grand mesa
#

if ur 2min leylines is ass ur supposed to drift it into a good spot rather than use a LL where u get 30% uptime

fiery jewel
#

Think out of the melees maybe Samurai has the most interesting filler?

jolly flume
#

your filler is usually just completely disconnected from your burst for a lot of jobs

#

sam and kinda mch if you cope really hard are the only ones where that kinda matters in terms of keeping things on time and in buffs

fiery jewel
#

It's sad because MCH could genuinely be gigacracked if they shifted potency into burst more

jolly flume
#

gnb used to be there too I guess

#

then they did this to it

fiery jewel
#

but I think MCH burst is barely stronger than DNC & BRD which is the biggest issue

terse zodiac
#

picto and rdm have nice filler, rdm just hasn't changed in ages

fiery jewel
#

pretty sure RDM getting carded over MCH now also?

grand mesa
#

tbh

#

picto isn't really even that interesting outside of 2min

fiery jewel
#

RDM having the best burst out of the gauge jobs just doesn't really sit right

grand mesa
#

unless its a downtime fight and u have dt paint to think about

fiery jewel
#

PCT might always be inherently interesting since you have to paint and stuff

#

just a cool niche for the ppl who enjoy it

jolly flume
#

cold take

#

smudge is too op

#

nerf that shit

grand mesa
#

mch just doesn't scale into 2min well

fiery jewel
#

PCT & RDM do way too much damage to have the best mit out of dps role

#

but idrc I like caster love

grand mesa
fiery jewel
#

def want more 2 caster comps in pf so I'll take it

jolly flume
#

we have smudge at home

terse zodiac
#

mit desparity is just weird to have with the current game

#

we gonna homogenize everything except drg and viper you can't have any personal mit

fiery jewel
#

I think PCT & RDM are the only dps with outright party mit?

#

oh I guess MCH also

terse zodiac
#

all phys range have the 1

jolly flume
#

those are the 3 dlcs yeah

fiery jewel
#

ye

grand mesa
#

ngl

#

bring back some jobs being ass at some fights

#

give every job strengths

#

I miss that shit

fiery jewel
#

that's already the case tbf

#

btu yeah

grand mesa
#

no, not really

fiery jewel
#

just look at VPR & MCH in fru

#

😭

jolly flume
#

dnc has improv/curing monk has mantra brd has minne but those are like the dlc to the dlc

fiery jewel
#

but I agree with u

finite plank
#

what do you think of ninja having 2 shukuchi and able to refresh it with mudra

fiery jewel
#

they can make it more of an identity for some jobs

finite plank
fiery jewel
#

I think some jobs are outright ass at fights the dps checks just don't matter enough for ppl to care.

grand mesa
rain geode
fiery jewel
#

MCH is literally bottom dps every phase fru for example

jolly flume
#

well they can't tune the dps checks to be tight without the state of job balance placing some jobs at real risk of being legitimate grief

finite plank
low hearth
#

monk is goated

jolly flume
#

it's better this patch but nooooo shot before that

grand mesa
fiery jewel
#

That's why I'm surprised M11S was tight

grand mesa
#

it isnt

fiery jewel
#

but it was cool

grand mesa
#

people are just ass

finite plank
#

they should be at the bottom as they can bank gauge for next phase

low hearth
#

riddle of earth chilll

fiery jewel
#

week 1-3 it felt tight in pf

remote gate
#

is m11s the greatest savage fight this game has seen

grand mesa
#

pf players are ass

finite plank
#

and bank it again for the next phase if allowed

fiery jewel
#

obviously checks will never be tight for statics because the difference of running full raidbuff comp vs avg pf comp is like 5k+ even at equal skill level

jolly flume
#

there was a jp tweet that essentially said "fuck your dps comp just find two healers that can do 20k and you clear"

fiery jewel
#

which is the issue with m11s

jolly flume
#

guy was kinda spittin

rain geode
grand mesa
#

you can kill m11s on full crafted 3wk tome+ex wep with 2 deaths if everyone in your group is mildly competent

fiery jewel
#

think they should make selfish dps outright better than raidbuff jobs that's the only way to actually balance the game somewhat without combat rework

remote gate
jolly flume
#

if we didn't have the extra weeks of tomes 11 would've been truly tight

valid solar
#

healers that do more than 20k are like an endangered species nowadays I fear

low hearth
#

mildly competent party members Classic

grand mesa
#

m11s clear

fiery jewel
#

m11s check was tight man

#

idk what ppl talking about

#

in PF? 😭

jolly flume
#

tight as in statics need to play near perfectly and pf ain't doing it

fiery jewel
#

it's all relative obviously

rain geode
fiery jewel
#

like if u are running a meta comp it's just not tight

#

nothing will ever be tight

grand mesa
#

carried by the healers,. gg

fiery jewel
#

try running it down with RPR & MCH in the same party

rain geode
#

I usually see my cohealer do 15-17k

#

and then I almost always do about 20k

jolly flume
#

we cleared with 4 damage downs skipping the enrage cast with a few off meta jobs

grand mesa
#

we were in sync

jolly flume
#

like I'm not saying it's easy free lmao roflstomp but its

#

not insane

fiery jewel
#

checks will never be tight for y'all with the current design 😭

grand mesa
#

i miss p8sp1

jolly flume
#

pf healers are genuinely just lobotomized and I'm sorry yall have to deal with them

grand mesa
#

bring back the gatekeep fights

zealous meteor
fiery jewel
#

I'm just happy

#

they gigabufffed whm this tier

#

becuase imagine how much wors eit would be if whm sucked

rain geode
jolly flume
#

yeah whm feels really nice to play this tier

grand mesa
fiery jewel
#

if whm was same as it was CW & LHW

#

the dps check would've been impossible

jolly flume
#

I actually played it for the first time literally ever in 11 lol

terse zodiac
#

people couldn't handle m11s i wish they were around for p8s

worn bluff
# jolly flume then they did this to it

it actually feels kind of uncomfortable how flexible it is. like i accidentally started gnashing 4s before no mercy and was like oh no i fucked up

then i learned that it's actually totally fine because any gnashing ogcd is good to open NM. which is kind of nice but also feels wrong

fiery jewel
#

I think WHM is outright out performing AST in most fights this tier?

rain geode
#

I dunno maybe my opinion would change if I had a static but PF can barely do whats out I dont think we need to make it harder

fiery jewel
#

I think lindwurm phase 1 the only exception but idk

terse zodiac
#

then again it was nerfed week 2 (?) so probably would be same situation

jolly flume
#

there are more short fights this tier so the extra misery cast is more significant

fiery jewel
#

If they buffed SGE pf might have felt way better

grand mesa
worn bluff
fiery jewel
#

but when I was progging ppl were literally clowning SGE players for not playing SCH

#

it was really bad

jolly flume
#

whm vs ast in a 14 minute final floor would've been a lot more of a competition if not leaning towards ast prob

grand mesa
#

oh, my double down drifted 3 gcds

#

it's okay

#

it drifts back

jolly flume
rain geode
#

I leveled it and geared it but Ive felt to urge to go and actually play it in savage

worn bluff
rain geode
#

maybe Ill try my M10S reclear with it for that lols

jolly flume
#

I still have no idea what they were thinking in 7.0 when they cut recite to 60s and then at the same level gave sage a trait that extends the heal buff on physis by 5 seconds

jolly flume
#

holy inequality batman

grand mesa
fiery jewel
grand mesa
#

maybe wk 1, but ast scales the more ur party does

jolly flume
#

ast/sch does scale better into later weeks too yeah

fiery jewel
#

M9S

#

and M10S checks were too easy and filtered sketchy players into M11S week one

#

M12S P1 check is reasonable but P2 check is unreasonably easy

jolly flume
#

god I love dps checks

#

make more people cry

fiery jewel
#

I agree

#

I think if P2 dps check was like

#

2k-3k harder week one

#

world race could've been way longer

rain geode
#

If I had a consistent group of people who played id probably agree

jolly flume
#

we cleared on our first clean pull through idyllic from 21% doing awful damage

#

it was pretty easy but tbf I think they just tuned for that intentionally

fiery jewel
#

P2 M12S they didn't test it with uptime strats we have in pf which is the most likely scenario

#

so they undertuned it

grand mesa
fiery jewel
#

I don't think ID is as hard aspeople say for the fight to be a free clear if you do it somewhat clean

jolly flume
#

idyllic was kind of crazy early on esp when we were doing downtime everything

fiery jewel
#

with the week 1 & 2 strats I agree ye

grand mesa
#

i think they just

fiery jewel
#

but that should've been the point though we as a community had to adopt better strats to consistnetly clear or smth

grand mesa
#

didn't bother with trying to tune m12

fiery jewel
#

which we eventually got there so it's fine

grand mesa
#

idk

fiery jewel
#

I think P1 check is reasonable but it's still easier than M11S

#

you have to think that M11S is like a full minute of downtime before enrage and ends right before a 1min burst

grand mesa
#

p1 is a punching bag fight

#

training dummy

fiery jewel
#

so M11S is the fight where ppl do hte least dps in by far

grand mesa
#

there is no friction

jolly flume
#

when I say bad damage I do mean bad damage

rain geode
#

Honestly I just wish PF could reclear for shit

jolly flume
#

and we didn't double lb

#

because we thought we were still progging

grand mesa
jolly flume
grand mesa
#

noble carried u on his back with a sack

jolly flume
#

thats kind of his thing

grand mesa
#

gg

fiery jewel
#

So that's why I think M11S dps check is legitimately the hardest it's like a full minute of filler

craggy marsh
terse zodiac
#

idk if m11s really is harder or just you are well ahead once you make it to m12s

grand mesa
#

m11s check is the hardest because they didn't make the previous fights enough of a filter

fiery jewel
#

tho I think technically both 12 phases have a harder dps check

grand mesa
terse zodiac
#

obviously m12s easier to keep full uptime

fiery jewel
#

no like M11S is actually the hardest numerically

grand mesa
#

you also have 3 pots

terse zodiac
#

numerically m12s has a higher check on both phases no?

fiery jewel
#

both 12 fights end on 1min burst

jolly flume
#

11 is numerically harder and more importantly there's a lot more places you can fuck up without wiping to cause an enrage

fiery jewel
#

u have to think about it two ways

#

fight enrage time matters alot

craggy marsh
fiery jewel
#

not just the acutal dps check number

jolly flume
#

god bless orbital omen

craggy marsh
#

I do wonder what orbital looked like in pf before the ez strat was discovered

wicked delta
#

That mech kinda monkas on 200ms man

fiery jewel
#

I think M11S dps check is 234k and P2 check is 239k but one ends on 1min of filler and one ends on a 1min burst

#

and most jobs damage spikes alot during 1min burst even if it's for like 10 seocnds

fiery jewel
#

job like DRG can get full burst out easily

grand mesa
#

even now

#

some ppl cannot comprehend that mechanic and always get a dd there somehow

fiery jewel
#

orbital was cooked week 1

jolly flume
#

I spammed the 212 dodge video in here for like 3 days straight when I saw it

fiery jewel
#

orbital the best mechanic the whole tier

jolly flume
#

because it was all anyone was talking about

fiery jewel
#

ngl

#

peak mechanic

#

because orbital omen actually put fear in people's hearts week one

#

more fear than Idyllic Dream

grand mesa
#

it made me fear the iq of my teammates

craggy marsh
#

Man, I slacked this weekend when I told myself i'd do M12s prog more

grand mesa
#

not the mechanic itself

fiery jewel
#

it was always the phys ranged dying

#

tbf it's always the phys ranged players dying to dodge mechanics

#

idk how man

craggy marsh
#

I made it through act 2 and decided that was a good stopping point for me

worn bluff
#

12-1 is the comfiest fight this tier. 0 fighting for uptime

#

just stand in spot

grand mesa
#

m12p1 is almost

fiery jewel
#

12-1 I think is the worst fight probs

grand mesa
#

disappointing

jolly flume
#

I don't think almost needs to be there

fiery jewel
#

12-1 is like ai generated

jolly flume
#

it's just kind of a sad fight to me

fiery jewel
#

they just took the normal and asked AI to make it harder

#

idk man

grand mesa
#

my static has more trouble reclearing m9s clean

jolly flume
#

cruel coil is kinda cool I guess

craggy marsh
#

does phase 1 get more exciting after act 2 or is it just downhill until phase 2

worn bluff
#

cruel coil is kind of cool

jolly flume
#

everything else sucks balls

grand mesa
#

fucking bats man

#

LMAO

fiery jewel
#

cruel coil should have more variants

worn bluff
#

bats are harder than idyllic

fiery jewel
#

like imagine it randomly spins each time

#

that would actually scare people

zealous meteor
true beacon
fiery jewel
#

but it always spins clockwise so it's very predictable

grand mesa
#

it's just

true beacon
#

Savage is made before Normal

fiery jewel
#

they could've done so much more with p1

#

it's kinda a shame

grand mesa
#

m12p1 is filled with "okay mechanics" and no struggle for uptime

craggy marsh
#

ahh I see

fiery jewel
#

atleast the p1 dps check was actually a thing early on

grand mesa
#

so it's disappointing in its entirety

jolly flume
#

what even are act 1 and act 3 and curtain call man

#

its like extremes

fiery jewel
#

it's just an extreme trial with a savage dps check

jolly flume
#

never mind slaughtershed

fiery jewel
#

which wasn't my expectation for a final floor door boss

#

but it's wtv

true beacon
#

I haven’t done M12 yet so my brain is still going to P4S

fiery jewel
#

I heard p8 and p12 had way better door boss

jolly flume
#

the one redeeming quality of the fight is that it fucking tears your asshole apart with raidwides

fiery jewel
#

like honestly this fight could've just been no checkpoint

true beacon
#

Oh Athena P1 is fantastic

fiery jewel
#

but it would be too long

jolly flume
#

idk about no checkpoint I dont want to play for 13 minutes to see idyllic or I'd actually cry

true beacon
#

And like half of p2 is good

jolly flume
#

but yeah door sucked

fiery jewel
#

Ye I hear high praise for athena p1

#

I think pandaemonium ultimate might actually be next that's the rumor I'm hearing

#

so might get to experience it

craggy marsh
#

Idk how I feel about no checkpoint fights

fiery jewel
#

this was my first impression of a checkpoint boss and pretty shit ngl

craggy marsh
#

if M12s didn't have a checkpoint it would probably be a bigger filter than m11

fiery jewel
#

tho ig I did p8 and p12 unsync

jolly flume
#

dont ask about 9 we did that blind alarmclock during peak ddos hours

fiery jewel
#

I did do high concept legit

jolly flume
#

like

terse zodiac
#

m12 p2 absolutely makes being a cp worth it

fiery jewel
#

I think m9s was pretty bad but it's a floor 1

craggy marsh
jolly flume
#

idk we could probably have done door in 50 if we didn't have brain damage on intercard pattern in act 3

fiery jewel
#

compared to dancing gren and black cat it's pretty bad

#

honestly I would put this tier equal to LHW imo

#

CW > HW = LHW

grand mesa
fiery jewel
#

LHW is easy but atleast all four fights felt fun in their own weird way

#

and is HW that much harder besides m11s to warrant taking that away idk

jolly flume
#

we were talking about the everyone out strat and then we collectively just went yeah this is more annoying than the "intended" way

#

it's just looper anyway we all did top

fiery jewel

M9S dps check if it was like

just bad design

@echo ibex wait i just saw you on aether?

I'll never forget when me and my husband ran into Yoyo while doing expert dungeons back in EW

but those mechs are probably harder honestly

craggy marsh

He got me my last comm I needed for my fat chocobo

jolly flume

you can carry harder on healer than you can on dps anyways

grand mesa

yoyo is my goat

jolly flume

not even in healing literally just dps

fiery jewel

dps skill gap isn't high enough

grand mesa
#

every time i play anything other than healer and i have to deal with 2 random healers

fiery jewel
#

like bottom samurai compared to top samurai like 25-99 isn't big enough

#

but I get why they design it that way

grand mesa
#

i end up spending most of my time wondering what those two chucklefucks are doing

fiery jewel

that's the only way we'll get hard dps checks most likely

if they skill gap is lowered

Deadass I think Pandaemonium ultimate is next because why else would Yoshi P do Q&A on the Pandaemonium server?

craggy marsh
#

I mean I hope it's not panda

jolly flume
#

it was pretty common in savage to hold before a boss for cds

fiery jewel
craggy marsh
#

Hades and Shinryu ult should come before Panda ult

terse zodiac

he said next ultimate would be meta, idk how that could apply to pandaemonium

grand mesa
#

the hard part about criterion is everything else

jolly flume
#

I liked crit savage but I'm done coping that they'll bring them back

fiery jewel
#

Pandaemonium is kinda meta tho

#

banger music

jolly flume
#

just give me another q40 pretty please

fiery jewel
#

q40 was the best fight this expac

terse zodiac

no idea what he meant but

fiery jewel

I agree

#

imagine if q40 dual boss design was a 8 man savage one day

#

next expac hopefully

craggy marsh
#

maybe i'm dumb but the phrase "meta ult" doesn't make sense to me

fiery jewel

They could do so much more with boss arenas

echo ibex

Make em a triangle instead

hmm how long does ucob take to prog... or is it mostly just filling PF that's the problem

zealous meteor

hes been pretty on the nose with his descriptions before, like for TOP he said it would be only omega

the latter

Dual Bosses have been my favorite fight this expac honestly

you could very reasonably learn ucob in less than a week if you had people

like FRU p4 & q40? the best fights imo.

is that a real title

or is it a mod

lmao yeah

fiery jewel

what does meta mean though

grand mesa
#

if ur sitting in pf 1/8 hoping for more ppl ur going to struggle

fiery jewel
#

I feel like Pandaemonium could fit meta

terse zodiac
#

only thing i can take that to mean is like.. ultimate ultimate?

echo ibex
fiery jewel
#

I guess most meta is Arcadion would be crazy if they do it immediately

zealous meteor
fiery jewel
#

could be a possibility?

grand mesa
fiery jewel
#

or Zodialyn ult but they will probably save that for when the game starts dying again

grand mesa
#

what this could possibly mean in relation to an ultimate

#

idk

#

im not going to think about it

fiery jewel
#

Zodialyn ult would bring every raider back to the game

craggy marsh
# grand mesa

So it'll be Hades and the themes will be dealing with loss and the death of everyone you know

jolly flume
#

I will sit back and let them cook

fiery jewel
#

Zodialyn ult is probably the biggest cash cow they have

#

lowkey

#

if u think abt it

jolly flume

I have faith in them to not make fru 2

we'll see soon

surely

less downtime hopefully

unless it's crystallize time difficulty mech no need for downtime

I kinda want to do cob again

love to see it

but then I think of twintania

visual geyser
#

I do wonder wtf meta could mean lol

worn bluff
#

can you just carry my dead body through for this yellow sword

craggy marsh
fiery jewel
#

when I think meta I'm thinking like new / popular

craggy marsh
#

and we're Twintania

terse zodiac
#

they take 1 phase from each ultimate, glue together, call it a day

fiery jewel
#

so obviously arcadion is the #1 meta thing currently

jolly flume
#

sanctity of the dynamis

#

yippee

echo ibex
craggy marsh
#

with Hydaelyn, Zodiark, and Endsinger

fiery jewel
#

Idk if they can have all 3 in the same ult

#

because final phase would have to be zodialyn

#

or maybe they combine all 3 of them idk

#

could be fire

#

zodialynsinger

craggy marsh
#

Honestly just make the final phase be full Zodiark

echo ibex
#

Theyll just go the easy way for EW and do Zodiark full power

craggy marsh
#

not sundered Zodiark

fiery jewel
#

the ultiamte fight in this game has to be Zodialyn

echo ibex
#

Instead of spinning the arena he spins himself

fiery jewel
#

that's like the whole point of the story almost for 10 years

jolly flume
#

I just hope they integrate the story into the fight better than they did with fru

fiery jewel
#

when u think like who is the ultimate boss of ffxiv

#

you're thinking omega or zodialyn probs

craggy marsh
#

FRU story was cool at the start but then idk

#

it got messy

fiery jewel
#

from lore perspective

jolly flume
#

I've cleared the fight 30 times and I still have no idea what's supposed to be happening in there for half the runtime

terse zodiac
#

zodiark + ascians ultimate could go really hard

fiery jewel
#

so that's why omega being the hardest ultiamte actually made sense

fiery jewel
#

for now atleast

craggy marsh
#

that's about it

#

it's not as cool as DSR or Omega

#

in terms of lore

fiery jewel
#

FRU story was very lazy

#

agree w that

jolly flume
#

HER AWAKENING IS INCOMPLETE...HER MEMORIES WEAKEN THE LINK

fiery jewel
#

atleast FRU like felt good as a fight

jolly flume
#

SUCH IMPEDIMENTS TO OUR RESONANCE MUST BE EXPUNGED

fiery jewel
#

but the story was not it

#

FRU needed 6 phases mayb

craggy marsh
#

THIS CACOPHONY

fiery jewel
#

Mitrion should've got the Tree in on the action

#

somehow

craggy marsh
#

I really hate how the tree only shows up if you fail p4

jolly flume
#

for all I diss fru p5 is still a banger in every sense besides mechanically

#

unless you're a tank

#

wings is fun to do on tank

fiery jewel
#

FRU p5 should've always been the final phase for sure

craggy marsh
#

FRU is a banger with the voicelines

fiery jewel
#

Pandora is one of the best designs

craggy marsh
#

FRU has some good in it but the really easy dps check and lame mechs kinda throws it down for me

#

P1 is cool

jolly flume
#

we'll get through this, ryne!

craggy marsh
#

P2 I honestly don't like

jolly flume
#

-# yes, together!

fiery jewel
#

one of the best patch arts ngl

#

they even got CoD in there

craggy marsh
fiery jewel
#

ye they soft confirmed it

wicked delta
#

i mean we all knew they were gonna do a gay fusion

#

i just wish the design was cooler

craggy marsh
#

Yeah the final phase of FRU was the easiest prediction ever

grand mesa
#

im ngl

#

fru felt lacking

jolly flume
#

we did like most of eden savage on the 100 gear sheet to prep and 2 fights ended up mattering gladge

terse zodiac
#

watching the world first race stream and the casters speculating if there was going to be a phase after pandora 😭

grand mesa
#

feels like they could've done something with an extra phase somewhere between 4-5 or 5-6

terse zodiac
#

as if it wasn't obviously the final phase

jolly flume
#

it was already like 13min into the fight + long ass cs

craggy marsh
#

why tf did people think Pandora wasn't the final phase

jolly flume
terse zodiac
#

yeah i mean i get why some people speculated, the fail phase and the enrage cutscene were weird

#

but it was obviously the last phase lol

craggy marsh
#

FRU gave us the most cringe line from XIV commentators tho

#

"LOOK AT THAT INSANE MIT!"

#

And it was rampart + guardian

#

wow so insane

it's just ryne with dyed hair

mostly just music+voicing+ pretty colors because i'm a child and easily amused

craggy marsh
#

XIV is boring to watch

worn bluff
# craggy marsh And it was rampart + guardian

tbf a lot of gaming commentary is like that

And the Paladin comes through with the Rampart and Guardian! Absolutely clutch combo, and getting that bonus healing on the shield too. Top tier gameplay

Yeah i hope it doesnt end in that again

At least im really used to it now

every PF is weapons prog

midnight furnace

To be honest the one i had earlier we were reaching Ecliptic every pull so it surprised me

torn kindle

If it’s not weapons prog it’s arena split prog

#

“Are these inner or outer markers?”
”They’re good markers”
2 wipes later
Theyre outer markers

midnight furnace
#

What do those even mean btw

#

Im just used to following Hector Strats to a T

#

So id expect the people to use his guide

loud nymph
#

it's whichever corner you go to as a marker player for flatliner

#

Hector shows outer + no buddies version in his guide

midnight furnace
#

Yeah so its outer then

worn bluff
fierce matrix
#

Its not that hard to use eyes and see what the markers are

echo ibex
#

3 pairs of markers since prog times

mossy eagle
#

I just have one set in waymark studio listed as "these are good inner markers" and another set as "these are good outer markers"

fierce matrix
#

If the marker on SW lines up with the tile on the ground

#

Its inner

#

If it doesnt line up, its outer

#

There is actually no difference between good or bad markers as if you are on the spot you dont die CAUGHT

dull drum
#

fuck this lets execute all pfers and make them decide on one set

#

and then make non tethers jump across thoughts

non tethers all cross. for all towers after that, take the towers diagonally across from the ones you last took

It's so bad

The rest of the strat is fine

Thats the goated strat

But idyllic towers is just so unfathomably bad

acting LP platforms

thats what we did w1

we didnt know it was role baited

it made no sense to swap LPs again to true without that info

grand mesa
#

To be fair

#

2 melee towers

fierce matrix
#

now its like...yeah you should be doing that

grand mesa
#

2 ranged towers

#

What else has 2m 2r?

#

A true light party

#

Woah!

fierce matrix
#

There have been downtime stuff with mechs tho

grand mesa
#

It's just weird that oce decided to stick with the worse strat

worn bluff
#

i mean i get the idea

grand mesa
#

But i guess they value their caster uptime too much

worn bluff
#

but the fact that it’s stuck as the main strat

fierce matrix
#

like you can't force melee to get full uptime during arena split in M11S

#

i mean

#

you can technically?

#

or close to it

grand mesa
#

Apparently my friend argued with MR people in charge of strats

#

And they used caster uptime as the excuse for this dogshit

#

When forcing 4m on one platform is just so unfathomably stupid

low hearth

they load all the melees onto one platform

jolly flume

LMAO

that's like the most perfectly-tuned ragebait instruction

It's acting light parties

Sometimes you have 4 melee on one side

If you do

Good luck

does this mean viper wins in that strat Gladge

think about it if you have some uncoileds then being a bottom isnt the biggest deal

i want to watch a prog stream from OCE where all 4 melee bunch up front and refuse to move

to be fair

if the spiny is dying

you could also stop pressing aoe urself

but that might be too advanced of a concept

i was only using single target

we had the 2nd highest ranked summoner last patch in the party 💔

west zephyr
grand mesa
#

so

#

materia pf uses acting light parties for towers

#

sometimes you get 4 melees

#

so you just have to deal with that

#

why do they do this? apparently, it's for caster uptime

west zephyr
#

Meaning...

grand mesa
#

if you dont have an lp config

#

it forces 2 on each side

#

so if you have 4 dps only 2 of them will still get hit

i did swap and learned ast for FRU

back when i hadn't healed an entire tier and just did lhw on whm
