whatever you press first will go off and delay the other

wind cypress
#

hm, so best to use gcd -> then press ogcd mit after which wouldn't delay your next gcd?

uncut pebble
#

im pretty sure

#

the damage snapshotted

#

on the tick that thrill went off or before it went off

jolly flume
#

or just mit before you get so late in the gcd roll that you're in danger of clipping your next skill lol

uncut pebble
#

bc his last hp was just shield + health bar increase but not filled)

jolly flume
#

even your shortest mit covers 2 gcds

uncut pebble
#

flow wouldnt had expired yeah

#

if they weaved it another gcd back

#

if you really wanted to weave upheval there he couldve just done like

#

damnation bloodwhetting gcd upheval thrill

jolly flume
#

everything lasts 15 seconds and even bw lasts 8, they don't need the 4s portion to live

#

it's like when mfs complain about weaving mit during gnb burst

#

bruh your buttons cover your entire window just mit earlier

why do they need to fly now

#

airports are cooked

uncut pebble
#

msp on top

visual geyser
#

partial governemnt shutdown means airport people claled out of work

#

so the lines are long asf

#

how long this game gonna last

whole estuary
#

8 months - 1 year is the big hurdle I think

rapid whale
#

they r banking on gaia getting xiv players ig

whole estuary
#

That's when they decide "okay we've harvested peoples' wallets using new release hype, time to decide whether to keep it going or do the same thing with another short-life mobile game"

#

it's like that movie The Producers where they discover they can make more money by producing plays that fail instead of succeed

#

I heard that the characters and their skills are separate gachas

#

Maybe similar to having characters and gear in separate gachas, but both are scummy practices

I mean this is why you show up 2-3 hours early for your flight

#

Sometimes more if you have knowledge in advance of long lines

I saw him im pretty sure

dreamy whale
#

Nah I checked the website

#

If he’s in then he’s a support thingy

trim frost
#

there was a teaser for future characters

#

balthier is one of them

dreamy whale
#

Ah

trim frost
#

onion knight rikku balthier clive iroha firion

#

i think

dreamy whale
#

NoelConcern damn still no bad guys tho

trim frost
#

they tiktok beauty filtered him

#

oh ok

#

i did have to double check myself thinking iroha might of been fang just from the spear

jade nimbus

#

also for fun fact jp balthier is also sanji

midnight furnace
#

Can a PCT Main check this analysis for me?

#

Its for M10S

#

I got 31k with a very low gray parse

#

Really worried if i just suck at PCT or if its something else

rapid whale
#

you missed hammer in every buff window

#

i stopped looking into it after that

midnight furnace
#

So i gotta slot in Hammer in the window?

rapid whale
#

yes

midnight furnace
#

Damn its rougher than i thought

rapid whale
#

its very tight

#

if u play on high ping u basically have to use some sps

midnight furnace
#

I tend to save that for movement so now its gonna get a lil more hard i see

slender lichen
#

the xivanalysis literally says everything there

valid solar
#

you also only has 90% uptime which is like really bad

jolly flume
#

you keep painting shit in buffs too

midnight furnace
#

Hum maybe PCT isnt for me then, since my ping isnt the best

jolly flume
#

the ping is not the reason you're dropping things out of buffs

slender lichen
#

pct is not a fast class

#

this isnt a ping issue

jolly flume
#

you're just pressing the wrong buttons in starry

midnight furnace
#

Can i get it in if i adjust even if i have bad ping?

slender lichen
#

ping is irrelevant

#

you're clipping

midnight furnace
#

At least its still salvageable... hopefully

jolly flume
#

play 2.48/9 and you will land everything if you don't clip

#

again though you still have to press the right buttons in buffs for that to matter

midnight furnace
#

Im gonna see if can adjust and not clip, thanks for laying ot out on me guys

#

Appreciate it

slender lichen
#

31k is extremely low

#

for reference a good pct does 41k

midnight furnace
#

Yeah, so i was like, man im doing catastrophically bad

slender lichen
#

if you do a fight enough you'll learn the gcds

tulip wraith
#

1.7% enrage im so washed FaunaPain

#

i made so many mistakes tonight

#

i keep thinking stack 1 in ID is light party 1

rapid whale
#

on m10s in particular

#

u can easily do over 45k on pct

#

31k is very very low yes

#

my alt in full crafted (as in less than wk1 gear) was doing around 38k

midnight furnace
#

Man i am that bad lol

#

But now i am very curious to see this adjusted

rapid whale
#

have you looked at the balance?

midnight furnace
#

Yeah im doing it now

rapid whale
#

cuz not putting hammers into your burst sounds like "i didnt research at all"

raw sand
#

Research? rotation?

#

Press skills via vibes 🔥

midnight furnace
#

Yeah i had a bad assumption

#

I thought that Hammers werent being used there since it was being used for movement mostly

devout wraith
#

for criterion advanced during the darya fight, does anyone know if the tether assignment pairs are pure rng or not?

dreamy whale
rapid whale
#

lmfao

midnight furnace
#

Damn

sleek moon
#

Gib pog

mossy eagle
#

ok legit question. Why is two way fireball so hard for the inside people?

#

I feel like outside people collapse nicely W/E on their respective tether sides and then it's just a mad house inside the hitbox.

grand mesa
#

4fold is much easier

#

bc you have everyone in every corner just go inside\

#

and everyone outside just be on out

jolly flume
#

the bait positions for the puddle people are kinda only arbitrarily related to your position for 2/4 which is already somewhat confusing then it devolves into a mess of eyeballs+guessing if you're going to get murdered or not because that's just what happens when you put 4 people in a small confined space

#

also ngl

#

I think people just struggle to orient in that mechanic

grand mesa
#

yeah

#

i think

#

if it's fixed

#

it's just a mix of people not understanding their roles

#

and thus either not baiting or baiting shit they shouldn't need to

#

so people wipe to it

worn bluff
#

idk i'm a tank but

#

with fixed isn't it melees in or something?

#

so on your side of the arena shouldn't you know if you're inside or outside hitbox?

sleek moon
#

Are the 2 person towers always on different sides of the arena? Or can they both be east

worn bluff
#

they can be on the same side

#

but would think there's a prio?

sleek moon
#

I'm always a tether person so I never bothered learning that strat

worn bluff
#

there's like what, almost 15 seconds from towers going off to fireball?

#

so you have that long to figure out where to stand in the middle?

#

i know the 2 vs 4 cast doesn't start until later but surely there's some way to preposition to make it clearer idk

grand mesa
#

with 2

#

you have the melee be closer in

tepid briar
#

I'll clear m9s eventually

#

my iinact was broke so I couldn't upload the last few hours tho... oh well

#

I can only do so much damage as a healer though AAAA

proven pivot
#

I still die to bats sometimes cuz its a rigged rng mechanic (my brain shuts off when i try to recognize the pattern)

rapid whale
#

the trick is to just back way way up and go in after 2nd bats pop

#

avoid the incoming back, go in on same area it popped

#

so if it pops at like say 5 o clock, chill out at like 6 or 3 and then go back down to 5

alpine plover
#

today we're getting our 8th book

#

in m12

tulip wraith
#

i need to run a sim a few more times cause im too upid

#

tether resolves and positioning after tower resolve is fucking with my head too much

tepid briar
#

I couldn't upload today's runs unfortunately to check people's dps

proven pivot
#

Wait i dont do what you said

#

There’s a vid on youtube explaining the patterns but like it makes no damn sense

tulip wraith
#

just position yourself so youre in back corner and so 2nd bat will always be to your left or right to give enough room to bait it, then cleanse yours right on top of where 2nd bat popped

#

or run straight if you wont clip anyone

proven pivot
#

Like yeah you won’t clip anyone but i’ll die to the aoe

tepid briar
#

I used to have issues with bats but not as much anymore

#

unless I'm dumb and clip myself

proven pivot
#

But i’ll watch clear videos and try to see what you guys are saying ty

tulip wraith
#

shouldn't all ranged be in each corner?

#

then melee and tank do their weird almost instant pop

#

i could be wrong, all i know is H1 and H2 are in bottom corners

#

i kinda zone out everyone else

proven pivot
#

Yeah and ranged dps are in the top corners

proven pivot
#

Then it’s the melee next to me not doing the instant pop idk

#

But yeah i know the fight like the back of my hand except for bats

finite plank
#

you're either popping intercard or cardinal

#

that's it for ranged

#

same applies to melee but they pop it before or after first bats of their choosing

#

the faster they pop it, the faster they get back into boss melee range

#

you pop it on the outside as ranged

proven pivot
#

It’s clicking…

#

HOLY SHIT

#

I have been trolling in pf all this time

alpine plover
#

if you clip the melee with your aoe as a ranged/healer

#

it's your fault

#

you don't lose anything for popping your stuff late

#

melees are actively griefing the later they pop

proven pivot
#

I never clip anyone it’s the opposite, i’m afraid of clipping melees that i wait out til the 3rd bat gets my ass

alpine plover
#

then it's a pf issue as always Bedge

fierce matrix
#

Its never my fault

#

its everyone elses!

wicked delta
#

You never have to take blame if you’re cute

#

Which is why I have never done anything wrong

tepid briar
#

I didn't fail any mechs but we kept enraging at 15

daring pine
tepid briar
#

m9s

daring pine
#

hmm

#

is there a log of the run?

tepid briar
#

but it was also a beginner friendly so

#

unfortunately no log for today

daring pine
#

damn

tepid briar
#

my iinact was acting up

#

I need to beef up my rotation though

daring pine
#

any deaths?

#

15% enrage is uh

#

bad

tepid briar
#

yeah a few sprinkled around

#

but again this is a duty completion group

alpine plover
#

🥁

tepid briar
#

so probably many don't know rotations

#

earlier today I had a picto at bottom of dps

daring pine
#

i would expect my party to know their rotation if we’re aiming to clear a savage floor

#

shrug

tepid briar
#

I'll ask my FC tomorrow to run with me if they're open

daring pine
#

if they don’t then

#

they should get out

tepid briar
#

mmm

#

also I think only two of us had gemdraughts

daring pine
#

ouch

#

big ouch

tepid briar
#

anyway I'll ask around tomorrow

daring pine
#

ya

#

do you rmb what people were dying to the most

tepid briar
#

I'm hovering around 90% uptime which isn't bad but could be improved, my aero uptime sucks tho cause I keep forgetting

daring pine
#

i’m assuming it was sanguine scratch

#

either that or hiac

#

90% is clearable but yea def try to improve it

tepid briar
#

we always had one or two die to bats pt 2...

#

and yeah people would always die to deathmatch

daring pine
#

hiac deaths are

#

funny

tepid briar
#

hiac for this last pf was really clean for the last few pulls

daring pine
#

ahh

tepid briar
#

it's not hard once you know how to do it

daring pine
#

so it was deathmatch deaths

tepid briar
#

yeah but 15% is a lot more than just a few deaths

thin tartan
#

hmmm

daring pine
#

yea

thin tartan
#

hit button harder

daring pine
#

probably a few DDs in there too

tepid briar
#

I mean again an earlier pf had picto at bottom DPS (back when my iinact was working)

#

so some people's rotations might be off

daring pine
#

lol

#

might be off

#

hahaha

tepid briar
#

like lower than the healers...

daring pine
#

execute that pct

#

bringing shame to us casters

tepid briar
#

it was a chill prog pf but still

daring pine
tepid briar
#

unironically need a clear so I can join duty complete pfs

daring pine
#

i can help later

#

whats ur role

tepid briar
#

whm

thin tartan
#

oh my fucking god and i was praying in my mind dont say whm

tepid briar
#

tyty I'll lyk if I need help, my FC should be able to help

daring pine
#

lool

daring pine
daring pine
#

can do both

#

brd/rdm

tepid briar
thin tartan
#

ims orry aria

#

do u like whm

tepid briar
#

yeah

thin tartan
#

ic .

tepid briar
#

but it can only do so much

daring pine
#

villy

#

aria is a bunny

#

trust

thin tartan
#

hi marce

#

yuay

tepid briar
#

I'll prob learn scholar or sage next

daring pine
#

although

#

the last viera whm i knew was an evil bitch

tepid briar
#

:(

#

I'm never toxic trust

thin tartan
#

i think this is a whm thing not vieras

daring pine
#

not you though

tepid briar
#

I told my pf to take break and get snack

daring pine
#

very good

daring pine
#

whm population is

#

diverse

tepid briar
#

macros as in...

#

chat macros? cursed

daring pine
#

like

#

no

#

you know how some tanks will use macros for buddy mit/shirk

#

and they’ll put the macros next to the party list

tepid briar
#

are they a clicker

daring pine
#

not particularly

tepid briar
#

hm

daring pine
#

my gf does it on drk

tepid briar
#

I used to be a party list clicker before I got my MMO mouse

daring pine
#

@kind elm wake up

#

show ur tbn oblation macros

daring pine
#

yes you click the macros but it saves you having to target the party member

#

and then the boss again

tepid briar
#

makes sense

daring pine
#

anyway my whm buddy does that with certain heals

#

pretty neat actually

#

esuna for example

tepid briar
#

I could see it being useful for like

#

doornail phase

#

where tab targeting is a huge pain

daring pine
#

look at these bnooys

tepid briar
#

speaking of tab targeting

#

it's so dumb

#

I can't tab target something I'm not looking at

daring pine
#

why did that bungy have an oranj

tepid briar
#

and apparently that includes if I can't see vamp's head or smth

daring pine
#

tf

#

anyway is there anything in the fight ur having trouble with

#

deathmatch is a common one

tepid briar
#

not really lol

daring pine
#

ok awesome

tepid briar
#

it's just the rest of the pf

thin tartan
#

spriggan

tepid briar
#

and hoping I don't somehow get clipped by the blades on adds 2 phase

thin tartan
#

spriggna bunny spriggan

daring pine
#

for deathmatch i just hug the rim of the boss hitbox

tepid briar
tepid briar
daring pine
#

if its donut i move

tepid briar
#

small steps

daring pine
#

if its aoe i dont move

tepid briar
#

and 1 big step

daring pine
#

yeah

#

its so chill

tepid briar
#

once you learn it, it's not bad

#

but you have to break the habit from normal fights

#

took awhile to break the habit of not just standing on the edge of the pie

daring pine
#

yeah

tepid briar
#

and though I can do my rotation

daring pine
#

then the sanguine scratch after that (the cleaves) is even easier because no bats

tepid briar
#

I don't have the bandwidth to check party list to heal

daring pine
daring pine
#

yeah

#

ez ps

tepid briar
#

free jiggles

daring pine
#

pz

#

free jiggles

tepid briar
#

there's always like one person who never learns bats tho

daring pine
#

this is the people in my pfs

thin tartan
#

mb

daring pine
tepid briar
#

honestly roughest part of deathmatch

#

if the other healer dies it's gg

daring pine
#

in my 9s reclear with my static yesterday someone fucked up flail

#

why

#

these stupid melees

tepid briar
#

okay how about

#

melees greeding coffin

#

and getting the damage down of shame

daring pine
#

i got a dd on coffin because i was too zoomed in

tepid briar
daring pine
#

lol

tepid briar
#

but if you can't stand on the line idk bro

daring pine
#

m9s was ok

#

m10s was..eeeh

#

m11s was um

#

we called it an early night after

tepid briar
#

here have an antidepressant

daring pine
#

:)

#

we were all playing like shit and we have no idea why

#

but last week we locked tf in

tepid briar
daring pine
tepid briar
#

okay it's sleep time

#

even tho I had a nap earlier

daring pine
#

sleep well little bunny

tepid briar
#

gn may your clears be quick and your rolls lucky

daring pine
#

i already recleared

tepid briar
#

okay then

daring pine
#

no need for lucky rolls because we have a gear spreadsheet

tepid briar
#

may you find a pf paying 5m

daring pine
#

i dont pf :D

#

(anymore)

tepid briar
#

but 5m :D

daring pine
#

true

#

fuck pfs

#

took me like 100 pulls for m9

#

yes, that many

tepid briar
#

seems reasonable

daring pine
#

no its not

tepid briar
#

I've been doing m9 for like

#

like...

daring pine
#

first floor took me 27 pulls last tier

#

this first floor isn’t particularly hard either

tepid briar
#

at least ten hours, probably more

daring pine
#

but ooh my god pf cannot do hiac or deathmatch

tepid briar
#

so yeah at least 60

#

or maybe like 50

daring pine
#

is this ur first tier

tepid briar
#

yes

daring pine
#

yea makes sense

tepid briar
#

tho I got the hang of it around 30ish

#

the rest is just staring at pf...

daring pine
#

last tier was my first

#

5s was like 27, 6s was 100, 7s was 80 something

#

M8S was..337?

daring pine
alpine plover
tepid briar
#

how do I count pulls

alpine plover
#

gulp

tepid briar
#

is there a way to check on fflogs

rapid whale
tepid briar
#

I only have 36 pulls uploaded

rapid whale
#

so it makes sense it was shorter

alpine plover
#

there was a graph on tomestone

#

but i forgot how to go there

#

oh Encounter Progression and select the raid

tepid briar
#

81 pull count

#

4.83% kekw

#

oh wait no that's enrage %

#

yeah that's as low as we got

#

I thought it said my parse was 5%

rapid whale
#

damn wat the pct doin

#

they musta died like 5 x

tepid briar
#

3 times

#

52% gcd uptime

#

idk what their true uptime is tho cause sometimes we left the bodies on the ground for awhile

daring pine
#

6 had me so mad bro

rapid whale
#

was it

daring pine
#

half of the pulls were adds

amber fable
#

Here

#

Even sch is sus

daring pine
tepid briar
#

everyone's first tier prob

#

including mine

#

16k kinda sucks

#

(really sucks)

alpine plover
#

this was our clear log

#

on day 2

#

(the sge died once)

#

of m9

daring pine
#

tithus kitty

alpine plover
#

so now imagine that this was with crafted gear

daring pine
#

you should check my first m9

alpine plover
#

i can

#

idk ur ign tho

daring pine
#

rebecca spirit

#

i died a couple times i think

#

idk i rember it being bad

alpine plover
daring pine
#

lool

#

clearable

alpine plover
#

2 deaths and still outdamaged the rdm

#

and the biper

alpine plover
#

2nd

#

yes

daring pine
#

o

#

wao

alpine plover

moreso the players

daring pine
#

pf is always dire

#

trust

alpine plover
#

not wrong

amber fable
#

Either clear by week 8

#

Or wait for unsync

alpine plover

rapid whale

#

but they do that whole super sneaky stuff

lyric summit
#

one job at 2nd and one at 3rd fanfest

uwu is silly for the wild lore it has

sick reef
#

chat how do dots work with dmg amps? if a dmg amp is applied during the dot timer does it amp dot dmg? or does dot need to be freshly added after dmg amps?

jolly flume
#

the stats are checked when you first cast the dot and they are not updated again until you cast it again

#

the only exceptions to this are debuffs on the enemy

sick reef
#

i see very cool thank u chiyo egyptian arc

sick reef
jolly flume
#

yeah

sick reef
#

fascinating

loud nymph
#

oh do dots not snapshot enemy debuffs, only player buffs? I did not actually realize that

clear plume
#

The exception is ground effects like salted earth, who checks buffs on cast, but debuffs on damage, most dots still check debuffs only on activation and keep doing that damage

#

Chiyo probably confusing that

#

Doton/salted earth is quirky like that

loud nymph
#

yeah I knew about the ground aoes checking every tick, that's why I was confused haha

yeah no morning coffee

my gut says high blue

Broil is what 320 and ruin ii is 220?

In 9s

jolly flume

I hit the entire party with an aoe in aetherletting and we still got like 5/8 99s one week

#

that was just the 8:30 hold

Like current, not even a week 2 historical type beat

#

r1 sch on vamp fatale would drop to ~18.5k rdps using only ruin ii if my google calculator math is right

#

Which is a green

#

But I feel like I did something wrong

jolly flume
#

18.5 seems low

#

like on a quick sanity check I'd be dropping ~4k dps from the broil portion of my dps here no?

robust shoal
#

I got a 99 with two deaths in e9s

#

Are you looking at ndps, dividing the difference of potency, and re adding the rdps feed

robust shoal
#

first floors just hit different

clear plume
#

Bc you really have to just look at broil

deep gale
#

Ruin II is roughly 69% of the potency of Broil IV

jolly flume
#

nice

nice

nice

deep gale
#

so 13k becomes 9k

clear plume
#

Well you can just do broil damage x .6875

deep gale
#

Yeah r1 sch log lost 5k from that math

jolly flume
#

-4k from my random 99 log is just above 20k

#

which I'm not sure but I'd think that's blue ish

just barely median give or take

Oh im a fool LMAO

thank you chiyo

tetsuya nomura needs to write 9.0

turbid haven
#

Anyone threw the idea of Commander Tank for 8.0?

#

Spear/Flag weapon, summon troops to fight for you

fiery jewel
#

anything that isn't another sword tank or 1min burst tank is fine

#

but I think a war general tank is a great idea yea

turbid haven
#

I think that idea is really cool, summon archers for your ranged ability, shield tanks for mitigations, melee's for your rotation

fiery jewel
#

I know people are opposed to raidbuff tank, but a tank buffing the party makes more sense than certain dps like reaper or dragoon.

loud swift
#

names the two maiming jobs

#

just say u hate maiming </3

fiery jewel
#

nah I main them they are the coolest

worn bluff
#

they might do raidbuff tank just to have something different

uncut pebble
fiery jewel

but do ppl play maiming for the raidbuff not really just the aesthetic

jolly flume
fiery jewel
#

war general tank could cook ngl

turbid haven
loud swift
#

dragons are cool

#

lances are cool

fiery jewel
#

in final fantasy dragoon is the coolest besides ninja prob

loud swift
#

backflipping is cool

turbid haven
fiery jewel
#

ffxiv iteration of dragoon is awful gameplay wise

#

completely boring

#

ninja has a way better iteration

fiery jewel
#

Idk if they will do summons

#

but a tank that acts similar to bard or hunting horn from MH would be cool

turbid haven
#

LET ME COOK, get a stack of promotion to promote 3 classes, archer, shield, melee.

fiery jewel
#

the issue is they aren't likely to do summons again

#

even though they can absolutely make it work they just don't care enough

loud swift
#

for a tank

fiery jewel
#

ye

#

I mean literally anything that isn't

loud swift
#

cuz they showed with viper that they arent afraid of making a weapon that turns into another

fiery jewel
#

sword tank

#

or 1min burst slop

#

because all the tanks are 1min burst slop rn unfortunately

#

besides gnb kind of

jolly flume
#

gnb literally just got turned into 1mslop

loud swift
#

yeah

jolly flume
#

it happened this patch

fiery jewel
#

still less than a job like drk tbf

loud swift
#

i thought dark knight was the only one who wasnt 1min

fiery jewel
#

actually drk is 2min burst slp

#

that's even worse

#

and the 2min isn't even fun

jolly flume
#

enlightenment is realizing jobs in xiv aren't fun in general

fiery jewel
#

ye tank design is cooked rn

jolly flume
#

and you should play wow

fiery jewel
#

I mean just make more jobs like ninja and bard

jolly flume
#

ninja is not fun

fiery jewel
#

actual fun jobs with identity

fiery jewel
#

ninja the most unique melee by far tbh

jolly flume
#

bard is fun if you're an adhd child who likes flashing lights

fiery jewel
#

it's just hard so nobody plays it

loud swift
#

xiv isnt fun play vii instead

fiery jewel
#

atleast ninja has identity with the mudra system

jolly flume
#

what

fiery jewel
#

but I think saying no jobs are fun is wild tho

dull drum
#

i mean they arent

fiery jewel
#

to an extent yes

#

because the combat is unfun

#

but some jobs are clearly more fun and interesting than others

dull drum
#

ask the entire healer playerbase if they think their dps rotation is fun

#

111111111111111111111111

fiery jewel
#

dps is the most fun role

dull drum
#

and the 2s

fiery jewel
#

that's why everyone plays tbf

#

nobody wants to heal or tank this is not pvp shit is boring

worn bluff
#

giant flag spear

fiery jewel
#

ye

dull drum
#

tank is just melee though

#

lol

fiery jewel
#

a halberd job would cook

#

tank should be melee

#

ranged tank can't really exist

#

I mean they can

#

but they would still be in melee range most of the fight

#

I do think we should get more melee-ranged hybrid jobs

jolly flume
fiery jewel
#

but VPR is not the correct way to implement it

jolly flume
#

actually don't answer that question

jolly flume
#

good thing stella isnt here to answer !

fiery jewel
#

idk I assume combat gets reworked a bit fundamentally for 8.0

#

but that's copium

#

because the actual combat system is the main issue

trim frost
#

reworked based on what

worn bluff
#

there is already a ranged hybrid tank

fiery jewel
#

jobs need higher APM

#

just in general

trim frost
#

sure but the high apm has to feel rewarding

fiery jewel
#

they should allow anim cancelling, triple weaving normalized for some jobs.

loud swift
#

ping

trim frost
#

wdym anim cancel

fiery jewel
#

also should clipping even be a thing

#

not really

#

I think clipping is fundamentally a stupid idea

#

oGCD and GCD they just shouldn't interact with eachother rlly

worn bluff
#

job with a 3s GCD

clear plume
#

There is zero percent chance that happens

fiery jewel
#

prob

#

idk how ppl think clipping is a good system tho

#

genuinely just boring

#

I don't want full uptime but I shouldn't be losing downtime at all when I'm in melee range with already limited combat

clear plume
#

?

trim frost
#

just dont clip

rapid whale
fiery jewel
#

clipping fundamentally boring if u think abt it

trim frost
#

if u dont clip its a nonissue

clear plume
#

Not really

fiery jewel
#

you're just not used to theother side yet

#

but idk

trim frost
#

what could this possibly mean

fiery jewel
#

game needs to become more spammy in general

worn bluff
#

a triple weave won't kill you if you really want to do it

rapid whale
#

wat

fiery jewel
#

atleast on high apm jobs

trim frost
#

spam design is how we turn every job into viper

rapid whale
#

water we talking about

fiery jewel
#

vpr is just slop

rapid whale
#

they want guild wars combat?

fiery jewel
#

that's a bad example

#

vpr isn't even spammy

worn bluff
#

like it's not a good habit to triple weave but it's not the worst thing you could do in terms of damage

fiery jewel
#

since your 2min burst is so restricted

#

you're just doing 2 reawakens and nothing else

#

because u can't double weave 1.5s

rapid whale
#

hikari catch me up im too lazy to scroll up

fiery jewel
#

just combat talk

rapid whale
#

ya but whats the other side of clipping

#

the only thing that comes to mind is guild wars

fiery jewel
#

idk if clipping necessarily needs to be removed but it's not possible for the combat to be that interesting how it is with the current limitations

rapid whale
#

action games are effectively gcd because of animation lock

fiery jewel
#

they need to add anim cancel or smth

trim frost
#

i like turret mage design tho i dont want blm to be spam

fiery jewel
#

some jobs should still be unique

#

blm already is unique it's the only dps with zero ogdcs that provide damage

worn bluff
#

action games aren't really comparable since you're not required to keep close to 100% uptime

fiery jewel
#

that's always been black mage main gimmick I believe

#

and they will never change it

#

so blm is niche

worn bluff
#

like uptime in monster hunter is probably closer to 50%

fiery jewel
#

this game will never be action game

#

but ye

#

doesn't need to be

#

I don't want them to increase GCD they probably need to lower it in general tbh

#

idk they can do that by just making materia more interesting

jolly flume
#

the combat can be relatively a lot more interesting than it is, the only reason it isn't is that they systematically remove all points of failure that you originally had to play around

vast jacinth
jolly flume
#

the core framework of the combat is fine they just refuse to let people fail

#

because then they get sad

fiery jewel
#

how can you make a job like viper more fun

#

when in burst you can't double weave at all

jolly flume
#

by not designing xivcombo the job

clear plume
#

Idk if the guy who wants to get rid of clipping wants them to add failstates to jobs

fiery jewel
#

vpr fundamentally will awlays be boring

jolly flume
#

because it's xivcombo

rapid whale
#

the msq is effectively one big power fantasy comparable to solo levelling, the player is not allowed to lose

fiery jewel
#

since you're just pressing 12345 + q even in burst

jolly flume
#

not because weaving exists

fiery jewel
#

how is that fun compared to job like ninja

#

just not comparable

#

if it was 12345 + q + option to press other buttons during burst

#

maybe we have something

jolly flume
#

you just described exactly why it is not a fundamental combat issue lol

worn bluff
jolly flume
#

if they can make fun jobs within the constraints of what we have

#

it is clearly a problem with what they do to individual jobs

fiery jewel
#

having to design 90% of the jobs around regular gcd idk

#

with anim cancel barely existent

worn bluff
#

people in EW got used to 100% melee uptime with no effort which got boring, but fights don't have to be designed that way

jolly flume
#

why does animation canceling have to exist

fiery jewel
#

I think big issue tbh

#

if they just cut cooldowns by 1/2 game objectively becomes more fun but it will be harder to balance

rapid whale
#

i mean yes

#

look at wow of the past

#

jobs were super unique

fiery jewel
#

balance part is the issue tho

worn bluff
#

i would probably enjoy a combat system that's more freeform in an MMO, but let's be real that's never happening in FF14

rapid whale
#

that also made like, 80% of the specs unplayable

fiery jewel
#

if drg had a 30s burst with the current form

jolly flume
#

that's just apm for the sake of apm

fiery jewel
#

might actually be fun tbh

#

even if they ruined the burst already

jolly flume
#

the reason xiv jobs are boring as fuck is because you never have to think anymore

fiery jewel
#

ye

vast jacinth
#

my friend still wants an action combat mmo :)

jolly flume
#

it has nothing to do with how fast you can press buttons

rapid whale
#

yeah viper is the prime example of that

fiery jewel
#

but the issue is like

#

what can you realy do about a job lik vpr

rapid whale
#

has the most apm of any job but is also the most braindead

#

i mean launch viper had some interesting opti

#

with the timer management

vast jacinth
#

viper before 90 is just zzzz

worn bluff
#

remove all cooldowns everything is random proc now owocarby

rapid whale
#

idk why they took it out before savage but yeah

jolly flume
#

viper is designed from the ground up to be braindead

fiery jewel
#

genuine idk what you do about viper

jolly flume
#

you're assuming the devs want to do something about viper

vast jacinth
#

and i still would fck up cause i dont pay attention in normal content XD

jolly flume
#

they don't

fiery jewel
#

double reawaken will always be boring in the current form

jolly flume
#

they quite literally meant it to be easy

fiery jewel
#

and you can't add any thing to it since single weave limitation

jolly flume
#

so idk what the point is here

fiery jewel
#

if they make 1.5s double weave jobs have more potential

rapid whale
#

yea like its p clear they want some jobs to be the 'brain off buttons go brrrr' jobs

#

eg vpr, smn

fiery jewel
#

and then 2.5s triple weave

#

but that will fundamentally change combat ppl not ready for it

jolly flume
#

triple weaving will not fundamentally change combat nor would it be interesting

quick verge
#

triple weaving is ping gated tech

clear plume
#

you already have some jobs that triple weave

fiery jewel
#

ye

worn bluff
#

it's the dilemma every live service game deals with

you could make the game challenging and complex to play, or you could make it more accessible and make more money

fiery jewel
#

I mean viper can technically triple weave

#

but in the most boring way

#

pct is more interesting

jolly flume
#

is it though lol

quick verge
#

and even then you slam that triple even if you live in angola in some situations

vast jacinth
#

i have a 9ms ping usually so i prolly could triple weave

jolly flume
#

it's one of the lowest apm jobs in the game wtf are you even weaving

rapid whale
#

pct has like, 12 apm bro

vast jacinth
#

never checked if i do

rapid whale
#

i think it's -the- lowest
