#

i told them it was prob cuz they were looking up the parses and simply decided they didnt want to risk it and that didnt go very well

#

bro called me slurs and a virgin

worn bluff
#

you definitely had some weird shit happen in fru p1 where you have a good comp and clean pull and then still enrage by a lot

rapid whale
#

lhw effect

worn bluff
#

and then realize there’s some people who cleared the savage tier but still don’t know how to press buttons

rapid whale
#

yuh

#

its me i was the person who didnt know

#

i got better tho

stiff sage
#

tbf i dont care if someone grey parses as long as it's not single digits constantly, i grey parse a lot on my first clears because im learning my rotation/the fight/there's a lot of fuck ups when you first clear

rapid whale
#

also depends heavily on when you clear

#

early weeks when gear is normalized its easier to get a higher parse on 1st clear

#

role/job too

#

you play on a job thats consistently gear fed like a samurai your first clear parses are gonna look doodoo butt since you're competing vs ppl who had like sometimes literally every drop fed into them

worn bluff
#

some greys are fine, i don’t even really bat an eye if someone joins and they have one fight grey best

#

but if every fight is single digit grey best it’s likely going to be a tight dps check

low hearth
#

mb

#

parsing savage without bis 💔

rapid whale
#

like this isnt perfect obv but most ppl would prob expect a decent parse out of this

#

it was a 10

stiff sage
#

HUH

#

HOW

rapid whale
#

gear

stiff sage
#

ooh

rapid whale
#

this was my alt with 0 pieces

stiff sage
#

im like, bruh, im not the worlds best healer i normall have an uptime around 89-90% and i can normally get between green and blue

rapid whale
#

another similar one

#

this was a 3

dapper zealot
rapid whale
#

granted this one was literally crafted gear so

#

literally less gear than week 1

#

no penta

dapper zealot
#

Life support gear

rapid whale
#

yea

valid solar
#

5 more levelling dungeons and ill finally have the new relics

rapid whale
#

point being tho that gear does make a big diff in funny number

stiff sage
#

tbh i wish my casting uptime was higher but i think it's a mixture of both me on controller (through pc) and having to drop uptime for unexpected heals due to fuckups or raises

#

having to cycle through the list takes a few seconds sometimes

rapid whale
#

yeah healer on controller is wild to me but there are world prog level players who make it work

low hearth
rapid whale
#

mb

valid solar
#

thats crit diff

amber fable
stiff sage
#

it's not terrible but if im dropping uptime to cycle to your body, click swift raise it's gonna be 5+ sec of me dropping to raise

amber fable
stiff sage
#

because of controller needing to cycle through the list

rapid whale
#

yeah i cant imagine ast on controller having to card etc

#

like an extra 3-4 button pushes every double weave

low hearth
stiff sage
#

yeah i havent bothered to touch ast since the 7.0 rework but i cant imagine actually raiding with that lol

amber fable
#

You can macro for targeting

stiff sage
#

........

#

what

rapid whale
#

macros r almost always a forced single weave tho

#

or do you mean specifically for the targetting and targetting alone

stiff sage
#

whats the macro to target instead of cycling through the party list?

rapid whale
#

prob like /t <6> or w/e you have that slot set to

stiff sage
#

its always a pain in the ass for me if it's a dps that got hit because they're not just two clicks they're 3-4

amber fable
#

Like cant you make macro to target specific number on party list?

stiff sage
#

ahhhh

amber fable
#

Cuz melees are 5/6

#

On default

#

Listing

#

Maybe I am being too plogon pilled here since plogons can do that

stiff sage
#

i wish they gave us more hotbar space for controller, there's a way to get more hotbars but my issue is it's too sensitive on the controller to get the third/fourth hotbars properly

#

three taps for a 3rd would be easier than how they have controller switch to third cross hotbar thing, like how the second row is double tap

#

(unless that is a thing, ive tried searching before but it seems like the other thing is right then left tap to get a temp hotbar to show briefly)

stiff sage
#

will that show the 3rd cross hotbar longer? as far as what im looking up rn it's just not something they've added

#

to have all 3 show perm

valid solar
#

this setting controls the tightness of the input timing check for it

stiff sage
#

gotcha

valid solar
#

enable position separately

stiff sage
#

i think that only shows the 2

valid solar
#

then put 3/4 somewhere else

stiff sage
#

im not logged in so i had to pull google, this setup

#

putting another line would be helpful

#

like another either directly above or to the sides if your screen can handle it as an option

#

theres a lot of jobs i dont play endgame because i have to give up 1-3 abilities

valid solar
versed kayak
#

If it's easier you could set both double hold directions to the same hotbar, so R2->L2 and L2->R2 go to the same bar

#

Slightly less slots this way, but less thinking

stiff sage
#

ill have to look into it when i get logged in but everything ive googled has basically said "no that doesnt exist, no they arent gonna do anything to add another row"

versed kayak
valid solar
#

yes thats what we've been talking about kek

versed kayak
#

It sounds like they want that + show the third too no?

stiff sage
versed kayak
#

could use a pc hotbar I guess? but I'm not sure why you'd need it displayed, it's just muscle memory at the end of the day

stiff sage
#

true, but when im learning new buttons i normally wanna see them/know the cd too T.T

#

til i get the muscle memory down

craggy marsh
#

Tbh this feels like a very valid take after how many weeks it's been

#

Eventually even shit people will clear purely bc of gear

rapid whale
#

idk i wouldnt go as far as shit just like

#

'the level of play would not clear the fight at lower ilvl'

#

which i guess is just an hr way to phrase it but bleh

craggy marsh
#

Some of the people I had in my m12 pfs should not have been able to clear 11

trim frost
#

what if i just died

craggy marsh
#

Might sound dickish of me but w/e

trim frost
#

i feel like that’s a very normal take tho

#

higher ilvl = easier check = more (personal) mistakes allowed

craggy marsh
#

780 pf and you still wipe to m11 enrage with only 2 deaths

rapid whale
#

i thought it was a cold take too idk

trim frost
#

is it really elitism if you’re doing “elite-level” content tho

alpine plover
#

what's elitist about it

trim frost
#

oh my god the font update hit discord mobile i gotta disable this shit again

craggy marsh
#

Normally I don't care but this is the final tier so im gonna have higher expectations

alpine plover
#

see thing is

#

ok here comes my elitist take

#

brace yourselves

#

there's a limit to how bad you can be

#

like you can be dps bad or mechanics bad

#

but if you're both then...

dull drum
craggy marsh
#

There's a limit to how many times you can blame pf

dull drum
#

i hit buttons and watch anime while raiding

craggy marsh
#

"This party was shit"

#

Bro if every party is shit then maybe it's not just the party

alpine plover
alpine plover
#

and here's another take

#

this tier is not exceptionally hard

#

it was week 1 and week 2

craggy marsh
#

It's really not yeah

#

M11 is spicy sure

alpine plover
#

but mechanics wise, it's very fair

#

yea i still think 11 is harder than 12 personally

craggy marsh
#

But it's not like 11 is asking for that much

dull drum
#

imo its about the same as CW (tier difficulty wise) but maybe thats a cooly level take idk

alpine plover
#

but it's not the apotheosis of hard mechanics

craggy marsh
#

It's got fast mechs but that's not really exclusive to 11

#

Bc 10 has some fast things too

#

9 idc

#

9 boring

thin fox
#

i think most would agree cruiserweight was overall a harder tier

#

even early on i think people would've agreed

dull drum
#

i mean it is isnt it

#

like statistically

#

less CW week 1 clears than HW

alpine plover
#

yea i also think cruise is harder

#

not necessarily cuz of the yans

dull drum
#

granted we got ddosed into the fucking sun for HW but

#

yeah

alpine plover
#

8 p1 also

craggy marsh
#

Cruise required something that a lot of people never did before

alpine plover
#

and seeds

#

still plague my dreams

craggy marsh
#

Okay tbf

#

Seeds had fuck ass strats

dull drum
#

personally it wasnt bad for me but my healers were having strokes in the corner doing bilibili seeds

craggy marsh
#

Seeds had some dogshit week 1 and week 2 strats

dull drum
#

because of certain patterns

#

that shit looked miserable

#

😭

#

what else was a horrid seeds strat

#

i never saw anyone talk about toxic seeds actually...

alpine plover
#

i'd say they're not exactly dogshit per se

#

but a lot can go wrong

#

with all strats

rain geode
craggy marsh
#

Which tbf

#

Week 1 guides sucked ass at explaining it

alpine plover
#

yea i wasn't tanking but i did see my tanks suffering

#

😭

craggy marsh
#

Maybe rushing out guides isnt really a good idea

robust shoal
#

actual elitist take from me, I try to stay grounded but being incapable of doing your mathematical share of the damage you need to beat enrage in pentamelded gear is wild to me

craggy marsh
dull drum
#

we had a lot of shit explained guides in CW yeah

#

dont get me started on m6s man

craggy marsh
#

Tfw the "week 1" raidplan people kept sharing was missing crucial mech information

#

It happened this tier too

#

Maybe people should stop rushing out guides

dull drum
#

what was the big stinkers of misinfo this tier

#

m10?

craggy marsh
#

M10 yeah

#

There was a lot of missing info and sure it was early on

#

But it still sucks

alpine plover
#

yup

#

fire bait to furthers

#

fire baiting fire

#

water baiting water

valid solar
#

we out here posting incomplete guides

craggy marsh
dull drum
#

yo so whats the origin of inner and outer markers

wind cypress
#

yes that lol

dull drum
#

like did the plan have both or was it just

#

2 seperate plans going around

craggy marsh
#

Why the fuck did people have such a hard time figuring out what strats to do for Zelenia and why is Escalon 2 STILL a fucking issue

wind cypress
#

I don't care too much for which method is used just plz don't have a million different ones, cause I have to learn each basically

dull drum
#

fan spread too hard

#

pls understand

craggy marsh
#

Who's the idiot who decided Escalon 2 needed to be done differently than 1 and 3

dull drum
#

actually i think i barely remember

trim frost
dull drum
#

one of them was from a kindred plan or whatever

#

and the other was a toxic plan marker set

craggy marsh
#

I think Zelenia ex is like the one time I saw people actually refuse to do a Hector strat

dull drum
#

for which part

#

cause they certainly adopted braindead esc 2

craggy marsh
#

Escalon 2

robust shoal
thin tartan
#

wrong reply

#

!

wind cypress
#

I haven't cleared zen ex much but used the hector guide, that was rough

dull drum
thin tartan
#

!

craggy marsh
#

Hector everything else was good for Zelenia

#

But I remember it taking awhile for pf to be fine with doing his Escalon 2

dull drum
#

wb braindead arcane team

#

it saves caster uptime!

#

thats what pf said

wind cypress
#

everyone run to mid and pray no one fugs up was a rough mechanic

craggy marsh
#

But also we need to kill the term braindead

#

Bc it's lost all meaning

#

Some of the braindead strats this expansion have been harder than just doing the mechanic normally kekw

#

"Braindead Ice" for Sphene

robust shoal
#

braindead rev is based tho, literally press one (1) shield and maybe a mit button

wind cypress
#

the doomtrain ext, peeps don't want to watch the diamond thing in the middle move so they just stand corner and take 3 shots to the face

craggy marsh
dull drum
thin fox
#

melees take 1st tanks take final 3

dull drum
#

oh that

robust shoal
#

it can't hit nw or ne three times fwiw

dull drum
#

yeah i ended up doing that in pf

craggy marsh
#

Braindead ice also had the "braindead bridges"

wind cypress
#

"just use tank LB if we get hit too much" 🤡

thin fox
#

sphene is probably still best ex in the expansion for me

rain geode
#

I mean it is a dumb strat its not like the mechanic should be hard enough you need to try and skip it

dull drum
craggy marsh
#

I loved it when Hector let out a sigh of disgust when saying braindead ice

dull drum
#

and m11

craggy marsh
#

Bc even he knew it was dogshit

alpine plover
#

Tank lb my beloved

dreamy whale
#

What section are the gathering collectables in for the achievement log

dull drum
#

and m9 too ig when everyone gets a stroke near the end

wind cypress
#

I believe it, someone used a tank LB and it technically saved most peeps during m11s when someone forgot to drop a 3rd meteor in m11s

dull drum
#

@jolly flume ^ uncanny

#

that fucking monk man except instead of forgetting to drop a meteor we just decided to kill one

dreamy whale

Brapples hoi

SunWah eventually i have to look at the balance for drg

#

I’ve just been pressing buttons based on vibes

dull drum
#

pt simple gameplan for dragoon honestly

craggy marsh
#

Thank you SE for not making the tank tethers during metorain cleave I know that took restraint

dull drum
#

they arent even aoe 😭

#

i always thought they were

#

and then day 2 of doing m11 i was like

#

"its not even aoe..."

craggy marsh
#

Everyone just assumed they were aoe

dull drum
#

i guess because no one was brave enough to cause a wipe to fuck around and find out

craggy marsh
#

But nah

dull drum
craggy marsh
#

Best part is they're magic damage too

#

So you can get hit by a meteor bait and be fine

#

I like how it's supposed to be MT takes W-N tether and OT takes E-S tether. But nowadays it's just adjust to whatever tether the other tank doesnt have

dreamy whale

Trade mentor here I come

craggy marsh
#

Idk how I feel about tomestone still

#

On one hand it's great

#

But on the other hand playdead

dreamy whale
#

Like the website?

craggy marsh
#

Ye

dreamy whale
#

bearRun_GO_worm I like it, makes it so I know if people are allowed to have an opinion on a fight

craggy marsh
#

It's weird bc people say to just set your shit to private if you dont want harassment. But setting it to private gets you just outright rejected or people say you're "sus"

trim frost
#

i'm kinda uncertain of if it's caused more harm than good

stiff sage
#

i will always reject someone over private logs vs just bad logs

rapid whale
#

idk

#

if someone wanted to get that info they could

craggy marsh
#

If it's private I usually ask

rapid whale
#

it was just that tomestone made it easier

trim frost
#

like it's nice to be able to see where people are at in the fight but at the same time it caused that weird shit of people only letting in single digit enrages

stiff sage
#

if im doing progging too and checking tomestones, i actually would actively remove someone with private tomestone

craggy marsh
#

Bc I've privated logs before from harassment

dreamy whale
#

I haven’t done any current high end content but I feel like I trust people more if they have bad logs than private

stiff sage
#

i just dont want to run the risk of someone lying about their prog

#

privating runs that risk higher

dreamy whale
#

Cause at least if they’re bad they’re not the type to be like “don’t post the log my parse is bad”

rapid whale
#

i think like most things in life it's one of those, "good but can be used for bad" type of things

craggy marsh
#

Honestly if a log is private I just ask the person

#

90% of the time theyve been reasonable

rapid whale
#

i mean

#

i think whats their name thinks th ey r being reasonable too

craggy marsh
#

Oh for sure

trim frost
#

yeah...

rapid whale
#

rio kodami or w/e

stiff sage
#

fair, but as a pf raider id rather not run the risk because people still lie when asked, ive had people do that before and proceeded to grief the party, so atp if the prog logs are private then im not gonna be in that group

craggy marsh
#

Post those grey logs like a real raider

trim frost
#

i really wish they would just implement some kind of personal damage tracker in the game that isn't sss

#

bc i feel like a good chunk of people just simply don't know how bad they're doing

rapid whale
#

@dull drum remember when they tried to bully you into deleting an ex log

craggy marsh
#

I will never trust someone who only shows orange logs

dull drum
#

50 lines of chat

trim frost
#

and because we have to tiptoe around the tos there's no easy way to tell someone that they're griefing damagewise

craggy marsh
#

Show actual progression like a non coward

dreamy whale
#

I am the most trustworthy because I have my 50% uptime A8S and A4S logs

dull drum
#

yeah slade skywalker was insane though

#

(formerly soft neko)

#

bro couldnt even be bothered to ask me to delete a day 1 doomtrain log

rain geode
#

I upload all my logs when Im progging a fight but after my first clear I only upload clears

#

but I do upload all my clears

dull drum
#

so he asked a friend as a middle man to ask me to delete it

craggy marsh
dull drum
#

to not hurt his median

craggy marsh
#

Like why does the MCH have more aggro than the VPR

rain geode
#

I think they've all my logs are below a purple now

stiff sage
dreamy whale
#

I got this fr I can get crafting mentor in no time

stiff sage
#

tl;dr said sage cant clear m11s because they're overhealing

rapid whale
dreamy whale
#

Have to grind 8 levels on drg

rapid whale
#

you dont have to do shit

#

you keep finding ways to procrastinate

dull drum
dreamy whale
#

I don’t wanna play blm anymore tho I’m bad

dull drum
#

like for me i want to contribute as much as i can so when i get told my damage is bad i accept that and try to see how i can do better

rapid whale
#

but for me? gongaga

stiff sage
rapid whale
#

yea the improvement is the fun in of itself for me

craggy marsh
#

If you're wanting to get into raiding you have to be comfortable with people giving you advice and also sometimes just saying your damage is bad

dull drum
craggy marsh
#

Doesn't mean they're being mean

#

They're just being honest

dull drum
#

but you'd need the log link which is probably on their tomestone if someone uploaded

stiff sage
#

edited that message, meant in game

Bapples making me finish the last 2 levels of my msq

#

oh hell nah they would not do an ingame dps meter

#

then you're just asking for 24/7 talesfromdf posts

it would be helpful lmao if it was personal only

#

alpine plover

you think that

#

but...

craggy marsh

I dont see them ever implementing in game dps meters

ive ran act a handful of times but thats too much of a pain for me to open, then upload so i rely on others to check after the fact lol

craggy marsh
dull drum
#

yeah theres usually always at least one uploader

stiff sage
#

even when i was console only back in p1s-p4s i had logs

craggy marsh
#

Even in random dungeons

alpine plover
#

logs not existing is whatevs tbh

rapid whale
#

i have 0 evidence but i get the feeling pc players are disproportionally present in end game raiding

#

not saying console players cant raid just that i get the feeling by and large, pc players are more likely to

stiff sage
#

i meannnn console raiders exist, i was a console raider who only switched because i wanted penumbra mods lol

craggy marsh
#

Although who tf is just uploading random expert runs that shit is funny but also weird

rapid whale
#

i wasl ike who is recording ts

stiff sage
#

"why tf am i parsing purple on a expert and why is this logged"

craggy marsh
#

Console raiders exist but pc raiders are more large yeah

pack it up bro

stiff sage
#

there prob will be more console raiders if not this tier in 8.0 because of the big xbox push

thin tartan
#

dude.

rapid whale
#

valcors have you ever thought the universe just hates you and specifically you

craggy marsh
#

PC players are more likely to raid but the reason for that is pretty obvious

Console has discord now too

#

Albeit a shitty implementation

trim frost

run m9 with me twin

stiff sage
#

you can console raid, just is more of a pain in the ass to make parties yourself. I did have a keyboard plugged into my ps5 back when i was console to chat

alpine plover
#

no discrimination

trim frost
#

yeah everything gets logged

alpine plover
#

but frankly if someone judges based on expert roulete dps

#

then

you can choose to upload specific fights but like lazy lol

I did expert roulette recently and had doggy damage because I didnt notice I was in my OC armor

craggy marsh
#

Talking about console raiding reminds me of my cruiserweight static and how the static lead went ballistic bc I said I played with controller

stiff sage
#

i remember first tier for dt i decided to do dps for fun even though i normally whm, and i came across a whm that i swear did medica at least 20-30 times the entire run. it was absolutely insane

alpine plover
#

how dare u

rain geode
#

I always raise an eyebrow if someone plays with controller but Ill least give me them a shot

dreamy whale
#

Am I gonna get screamed at for console raiding

craggy marsh
#

How dare I play the game on a supported device

alpine plover
dreamy whale
#

How dare I use the same input as jp world first raiders

stiff sage
#

CAUGHT I raid on controller but i can at least pull a blue parse as healer

rain geode
#

I knew a guy who played fighting games on a Guitar hero controller and he was pretty decent so people can make anything work

craggy marsh
#

A controller wont make a difference in parsing

alpine plover
#

judging playing on controller as being bad is actually negative iq move ngl

#

my cohealer in dsr played on controller and he pulled the craziest ress stunts

craggy marsh
#

Idk where people get this weird idea that playing on controller makes you worse in the game

alpine plover
#

controller doesn't make a difference

#

in skill

craggy marsh
#

When it just comes down to what you're comfortable with

rapid whale
#

There are even world progress that click whatever works works

dreamy whale
#

Yeah I’m just bad

rapid whale
#

We all are

stiff sage
#

controller isnt actually worse, the only annoying part is if you're a healer and have to go through the party list but you can do well even with that

#

its really just muscle memory and i feel like i can move faster with button pressing compared to changing onto a keyboard and mouse

dreamy whale
craggy marsh
#

Playing on controller taught me to make macros for buddy mits more

stiff sage
#

just need my thumbs

craggy marsh
#

Can't be assed to cycle through the party list

rain geode
#

I tend to use whatever control method seems best for a game so I swap what Im using a lot

stiff sage
dreamy whale
#

I lowk

#

Hate blm

#

Casters in general except for smn

#

I prefer my mobility to be built into my rotation not slapped on ogcds

stiff sage
#

i was leveling blm the other day, I genuinely hate the fact there's a set rotaton and you cant really mix it up too much without doing way less dmg

rain geode
#

I havnt been liking BLM either tho I think part of it is because its annoying job to do roulettes on

valid solar
craggy marsh
#

I hate BLM only bc it feels genuinely awful if you're not at level cap

rain geode
dreamy whale
#

Warriuh

stiff sage
#

in casual content not raiding

dreamy whale
#

You pop fell cleave every time it comes up

craggy marsh
#

Every expansion they add more stuff to BLM that makes it suck to not have it

valid solar
stiff sage
#

for rdm for example i kinda just press whatever buttons i want and im fine but i also play in casual content only lmao

#

unless my gauge is full then im doing that

craggy marsh
#

Press whatever buttons

amber fable
#

That is what it does in savage too really

craggy marsh
#

You'll be top dps

valid solar
lyric summit
#

so uhh no branching combo I guess? that's still a lot of jobs Hmm

amber fable

High end content is less training dummy of boss while doing damage

if you play casually why are you in endgame-malding-general

trim frost
#

yeah

#

thin air cure 3 is pretty normal

grand mesa
#

though

#

if you're confident you're not using it on anything it's usually just a thin air glare

#

well

#

you can thin air a glare if you're close to having two stacks

#

or if you have to stacks

rain geode
#

You get 2 charges so I assume you always just use at least one stack on something

grand mesa
#

and then hold onto that last one for what you need it

#

mhm

rain geode
#

Bonus points if its some pricier like a medica 2

grand mesa

the only case id ever hold onto both is if I'm doing chaotic

people sure love dying in that first phase

Man I wanted to read the chapters I need for my book so I dont have to do it tommorow and raid but its already 6 am and I cannot focus

The only bad one is the one in looming chaos lol

stiff sage
boreal pumice
visual geyser
#

Like oh no we wiped because blew up 4 towers

#

Because you should absolutely wipe if that many people fuck up a basic stack mechanic

boreal pumice
#

at worst 1-2 towers go off because some peps dead but thats a vun stack and can recover with tank lb

visual geyser
#

The only part where the body checks get unrecoverable is looming

#

Because having 1 death in the wrong place can send people all over the place

#

Dogshit mechanic btw

alpine plover
#

you tank lb the towers after looming

boreal pumice
#

i pray that im not on platforms doing inner ring is way easier

alpine plover
#

yes

visual geyser
#

I do outer ring because it’s harder lol

#

You guarantee one less idiot is in inner to make things smoother

boreal pumice
#

nah no way , inner is the easier postion

visual geyser
#

Yea flipped it

#

I can’t trust anyone in outer ring

#

So I do it so I can see and call out any morons

zealous meteor
boreal pumice
#

long as i die after a tower soak its more recoverable since its like going back to p1 after

zealous meteor
#

do i go inner to have a higher chance of clearing

alpine plover
#

maybe?

#

outer is not really hard either per se

visual geyser
#

The Dps check is less strict now I think

alpine plover
#

it's more airated

visual geyser
#

At least it felt that way the last time I did it

alpine plover
#

it's just you gotta have people know how to do pairs

visual geyser
#

You can have a funky loaming and it’ll be fine ish

alpine plover
#

lemme see my logs

#

from like sunday

visual geyser
#

For?

alpine plover
#

chaotic

visual geyser
#

I impinge new food and pots help a bit

boreal pumice
#

i sometimes feel pairs is off like i know my postion my haler partner is there and both still die

alpine plover
#

seems like we had 17 deaths and 39 DDs

#

and we cleared

visual geyser
#

Yea see

#

I don’t think that’s possible at launch

alpine plover
#

definitely not

#

yea it's not really the dps

#

it's mostly just not dying at the wrong time

visual geyser
#

Ye

#

After loaming you just are trying to survive lol

boreal pumice
#

once your back to p1 is pretty much a clear

visual geyser
#

Not die too much and get to the final phase dps check is a joke

alpine plover
#

and die

#

fun fact a tank can also just survive solo

visual geyser
#

I wanna do forked and chaotic again

#

Chaotic is only poppin during bonus tho

alpine plover
#

are there no chaotic communities on NA?

visual geyser
#

There is but i don’t use em

I just pf all my clears

i like it with coms

I do kinda want the hair I think it would look nice on one of my alts

the latest ones

boreal pumice
#

i dont know how or why the hands work like my leader just says forwards or backwards

alpine plover
#

do you want me to explain ?

boreal pumice
#

sure why not

alpine plover
#

when she sends the tethers she puts her hand forward towards a diamond

#

if the hand is "Grabbing" the diamond from below, it's back safe

dapper zealot
alpine plover
#

if she "pushes" the diamond, then it's front safe

#

or you can also deduce by the sound effect, if you have them turned on. Front safe barely makes a sound. Back safe blows your eardrums

boreal pumice

il try to look at next time , i looked at the crystal thinking is it a color thing , i know its not a name

but

there's also a tanklb there

valid solar
# dapper zealot I do

its super simple, so you take a potato and dice it, let it soak in iced water for like 30 or so minutes, then you toss it into the pan with your favorite oil of choice, and add some garlic, onion (if you like onion), salt and pepper, fry it, and then you have these tiny crunchy diced potato squares that you can eat with a spoon

alpine plover

but i think it expires before the stack connects

i would never have a blue there (because i didn't clear week 1)

jolly flume
#

well there you go

worn bluff
#

they are kind of cute

wind cypress
#

had a quick question, in gear simming websites like xivgear changing from det to direct hit barely makes a difference, but you'd think direct hit would make more of a difference? like if you have 0 direct hit you'd get none of the 25% chance to do extra damage right?

clear plume
#

Well yea, but getting like 0.4% chance to do the extra damage just makes as much of a difference as getting 0.1% damage from det is on an average sim.

jolly flume
#

it does make more of a difference, that's why supports nearly always meld dh in every spare slot that isn't crit or speed

dapper zealot
#

Follow bis guides. The nerds have already mathed it out

jolly flume
#

I think you're just overestimating how much of a difference substats actually make in your final damage output, it's not that big

#

which means the difference between mildly suboptimal stats and the optimal set is also not that big

#

I just removed two entire +54 crit melds from my bis and it was a 0.59% difference lol

wind cypress
#

so take healers for example, det does slightly less, but no one really cares about more healing output because it's already high so they just slot dht?

clear plume
#

Asterisk, it makes more of a difference if you already have det but no dh

clear plume
#

Because moving from 22.3% det to 22.4% det scalar isn’t an actual 0.1% damage increase, while 0.4% dh chance is a 0.1% damage increase

jolly flume
#

it's the thing you experience in a lot of games where the damage formula has a bunch of multipliers

#

saturating one multiplier is pretty much never better than spreading them out

clear plume
#

Unless it’s crit

jolly flume
#

unless it's crit

worn bluff
#

simply put everything into det and be lucky on crit/DH

clear plume
#

That’s what I do for HC parsing yeah, I go to exact det tiers and drop dh from the recommended sets

dapper zealot
#

This is too much mathing for me

clear plume
#

I’m at 2600 1950ish when bis is closer to 2400-2200ish

#

For the two stats

worn bluff
#

i didn't know people do that i was just joking CAUGHT

clear plume
#

It sims higher on lucky runs

#

Since you farm for lucky runs anyways, is fine

worn bluff
#

guess it just takes longer to get lucky run

clear plume
#

(It’s average is also like a whole 4 dps lower)

wind cypress
#

yeah makes sense

jolly flume
#

xivgear has a sim option to calculate for plus however many standard deviations of dps on a run

#

it's not uncommon that a set with a lower avg sims higher at +2/3 stddev

wicked delta
#

am i crazy this doesnt look red at all

sonic osprey
#

is there an act overlay that accounts for rdps?

jolly flume
#

download the fflogs uploader and set up the overlay

clear plume
#

Fflogs overlay does, nothing in act does, because rdps is a fflogs creation

jolly flume
#

ACT itself can't do that

clear plume
sonic osprey
#

ohhh ok

clear plume
wicked delta
#

???

clear plume
#

I mean that’s how hair colour in this game works with a lot of hair styles

wind cypress
#

can use a color picker in an image editing app to get the real value if your eyes are tricking you

clear plume
#

But it’s the style, not the colour

wind cypress
#

and change the background to see it with mor elight

jolly flume
#

that row looks closer to brown than red to me anyways

#

picking the darkest color out of it you're not gonna get anymore than like

#

the slightest hint

wind cypress
#

looks brown to me

dapper zealot
wicked delta
#

These colors are too damn confusing

jolly flume
#

idk why they didn't just give us color sliders or a wheel

#

the funny thing I find about savage, 24k tank deeps is grey, 26k tank deeps is purple - like bruh 2k is the margin ?

jolly flume
#

2k is enough for you to singlehandedly cause a 1% enrage in m11s

#

so yes

#

that's quite a lot

rapid whale
#

put it into % mindset instead

#

like a 10% gap

#

gray is the worst of those who cleared so

#

consider all the ppl enraging etc

stray forge
#

2k is a lot

loud nymph
#

2k can easily be the difference between clearing and not

wind cypress
#

like grey is good enough to clear (obviously cause you cleared) but 2k seems like a small margin - in the previous tier it seemed like there were larger margins

loud nymph
#

you know all those m11s wipes at 0.1% enrage

#

those were clears with another 2k dps

boreal pumice
#

just crit

rapid whale
#

ok so the thing about the mindset that gray good enough to clear

#

consider this

#

if every single playe rin the party performed at that level would that party have cleared

stray forge
#

I will not and I will continue gray parsing

wind cypress
#

yeah, so you need good dpsers with bad gear to work hard to clear, so they can come back with bad groups and help carry them to clear with upgraded gear?

rapid whale
#

wat

loud nymph
#

huh

stray forge
#

wat

stray forge
#

Soitified gray parser

wind cypress
#

if everyone starts week 1 prog with bad gear, you only have skilled players clearing - which (in later weeks) join pfs creating an offset of higher dps to help lower dps clear, am I making sense?

jolly flume
#

those skilled players are a) largely in statics and thus not in the pf pool b) largely not going to go back into prog parties in week 2 to suffer

stray forge
#

Most of the week 1 ppl probs won’t be playing with the others

boreal pumice

its not "bad gear" its the best gear you can start with

jolly flume
#

what happens is gear creep

yeah gear creep

jolly flume

people who cleared 9 and 10 week 1, 1/8 of them now have raid accessories and left sides

Hold lb3 for the hardest mech should always be the case unless youre struggling with 1% enrage imo
