can confirm, the pipeline was ps2 to 360 to ps4 and 5 and now after 5, im probably gonna switch to pc lol

runic dove
#

We're allowed to talk story here right?

queen raft
#

I mean both the PS3 and 360 had issues

craggy marsh
mortal flower
#

Based on what and when

#

If it's new new story go to 7.5

queen raft
craggy marsh
#

At launch ya not really

mortal flower
#

You can just go to a expac though and talk that

craggy marsh
#

But later on the 360 became good while PS3 just....never really improved much

# queen raft Not at launch

its like that with most consoles, you never want to buy them on release, always wait a year or 3 cause the one before it will still be getting supported during that period

queen raft
#

The 360 had the RRoD and you had to pay to play online while the PS3 had the YLoD and had huge vulnerabilities

craggy marsh
#

Still, nothing will be better than the Xbone showcase where they were so hyped to talk about how you can use it as a TV for your family kekeak

I remember when a friend of mine had a jailbroken Xbox with guitar hero that had almost every song available on it. And then one day at a sleepover some dumbfuck updated the console

I hate that Microsoft got rid of the blades dashboard. Would have loved that dash board when I finally got a 360 in 2012

I think I've decayed out of being able to do the tier rn 💀

fierce matrix
#

I just dont want to learn BC

#

Idk why pf switched to it permanently now, atleast dn I knew

#

Its not even a better strat its brings no value and if anything its tighter positioning

I dont get it

I just dont see why we had to change lol

#

Like uptime sunrise, I get

#

Cute seeds or w/e was decided on, I get

dull drum
#

locked seeds yeah

#

but mostly because the other strat was so horrid (bilibili)

dapper zealot
#

hmmm I'm starting to like philosophia now

fierce matrix
#

I just dont get why BC had to be changed

#

And it changed so late too

#

Uptime sunrise was like week 2

#

BC didnt get a hold till like week 4-5

tepid briar
dapper zealot
subtle sun
#

im never gonna get past m9s bro, at enrage every time

tulip anvil
#

How?

#

Everyone should have Atleast 780 gear by then

subtle sun
#

we just dont deal enough dps before she uses her alt

tulip anvil
#

Are you pfing or in a static?

subtle sun
#

pfing, i posted a static request and nobody responded, its been 2-3 days

tulip anvil
#

Try setting a higher Ivl to your parties and avoid joining ones that are below 780

subtle sun
#

Ah ok I got you

dapper zealot
#

and make sure everyone has food and pots

tulip anvil
#

Odds are the people doing parties under that don’t care enough about their gear to upgrade it and also suck

subtle sun
#

Well I hope it does work

#

Thanks for helping!

tulip anvil
#

Also make sure that your party members don’t suck, feel free to leave parties if there’s a stinker or two dragging you down

#

There’s gonna be a lot this late into the tier

thin tartan
#

i mean no disrespect theres also a chance that you are part of the problem

rain geode
#

and even if you arent part of the "problem" figuring out how to push even more damage cant hurt

subtle sun
thin tartan
#

whats ur ign

#

would u mind me going through ur logs

subtle sun
#

Jo Boe

#

Npnp go ahead

rain geode
#

I need to make myself go back to the tier I know I can beat it but I have not been able to find the motivation to play video game

thin tartan
#

ok so these r all the logs thats been uploaded containing you

#

just click on this

dull drum
#

and because its giga late the quality of players doing BC is

thin tartan
#

yeah so thats really bad and a lot of room to improve,

dull drum
#

yikes to BC only players

subtle sun
thin tartan
#

big part of it

subtle sun
#

so how would i improve this?

thin tartan
#

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdcQyp8JcqQ probably best starting with how to keep your gcd up and weaving correctly

From GCDs to Snapshots -- A breezy look at some concepts and terms you'll make use of regularly in FFXIV but not really taught ingame very well (or at all).
--Gameplay from FFXIV version 5.0 - 5.58

What's inside:
✨ An overview of commonly utilized Battle Basics
✅ Clearing up why they're important to understand and how to make use of them
...

▶ Play video
#

also not breaking 123 is a major part of it

#

if you

#

open this

#

it tells you all the errors in the rotation and things

#

what you shouldnt do

#

what you should do

#

and at what point htat mistake was made

#

additionally you can look up clear videos of other players on youtube and take notes of how they keep their uoptime up consistently

#

its a good learning method

subtle sun
#

uh alr i got you...

#

imma finish my combos more and use my skills more then, just trying to also dodge and do that is a bit hard for me

thin tartan
#

so like at the start of the fight you can already recognize that the opener is gone out the window unfortunately

#

you shouldnt be dropping your gcd to mit

subtle sun
#

yeah but i had to mit to survive her tb at the start

thin tartan
#

you can mit earlier

#

sec

subtle sun
#

oh alr so i should focus on combos more then mit?...

thin tartan
#

you can do both without having to sacrifice the other

tepid briar
rain geode
#

Mit is pretty much all on oGCDs

#

you can do both

tepid briar
#

unless everyone's super fresh you shouldn't enrage

subtle sun
thin tartan
#

this was some random warrior cotank i had in one of my reclears, you can see how they consistently press gcds and no gaps while hitting the mits

tepid briar
#

what's your ilvl @subtle sun

subtle sun
subtle sun
tepid briar
#

hmmm you should be fine then

#

your dps don't seem to be pulling their weight or maybe it's me (I don't play dps)

thin tartan
versed kayak
tepid briar
#

ah

#

wait 16k dps is... really low

thin tartan
#

yeah 70% uptime with 16k dps is concerningly low

tepid briar
#

I get 20k as white mage

subtle sun
#

it may be my hotbar also

versed kayak
#

check the balance for your opener

tepid briar
#

srry I can't help much since I don't play warrior

versed kayak
#
#

You should never drop your gcd for mitigation unless you actually forgot and are about to die
and then you should make sure to remember for next time so you don't repeat that mistake

tepid briar
#

if you have a recording next time that could help

thin tartan
#

logs r enough

#

its just not leaving gaps out

tepid briar
#

I only play whm

thin tartan
#

higher uptime would be a major improvement already

#

lock in.

tepid briar
#

though my rotation is...

#

we don't talk about it

thin tartan
#

we gonna grill u aria

subtle sun
versed kayak
tepid briar
#

I ended up with 3 dds and died once lol

tepid briar
#

dds cause I stretched bat chain

subtle sun
tepid briar
#

died once cause I did hiac wrong since I was ressing someone

#

and I forgot my second tincture

thin tartan
#

ngl um

tepid briar
#

also I keep forgetting my dia

thin tartan
#

you should probably try hitting training dummies for a long while

#

,like that alone

#

getting it into your muscle memory

#

helps big time

subtle sun
#

yeah if i dont get better i may just quit raiding atp

tepid briar
#

if you have an overlay like act it would help

thin tartan
#

that and knowing you just throw tomahawks if you gotta leave the melee range

tepid briar
#

so you can see your dps

versed kayak
tepid briar
#

but not having downtime should catch almost everything

thin tartan
#

okay dont jump too quick to quitting im js pointing out the parts you can fix and be better at

versed kayak
#

it won't tell you what mistakes you actually made

tepid briar
versed kayak
#

like running act is good for the log, but the overlay isn't really necessary

#

and if you're playing a rdps job it's even less useful

tepid briar
#

I was thinking maybe to stare at dps to get an estimate of how much a better rotation could help

#

but it's not essential

versed kayak
#

as bard your dps in act will be depressing

versed kayak
tepid briar
#

I had a 4k sage once

#

that definitely needs improvement

subtle sun
tepid briar
#

would you recommend watching a warrior pov

#

or would that be the wrong direction

#

@versed kayak @thin tartan

thin tartan
#

thats fine

#

great even

#

its just the

terse zodiac
#

You can always press a button but most times its a 1 2 3

versed kayak
thin tartan
#
  1. too big of gaps in the gcd
  2. broken 1-2-3s
#

literally these two

#

and youre already much much better

subtle sun
versed kayak
#

mmo mouse?

thin tartan
#

hotbars your own preference its what you find comfortable

subtle sun
#

regular mouse

terse zodiac
#

Side issue also dont chain your ogcds like that, like you used 3 gapclosers back to back

tepid briar
#

also not sure if you're struggling with weaving

versed kayak
#

right then you should prooobably change them, unless you can hit 9 while also moving

tepid briar
#

uhhh actually can you queue ogcds on instant casts?

subtle sun
terse zodiac
#

Yes

tepid briar
terse zodiac
#

Not macros but yes for items and abilities

tepid briar
#

I def have done it but don't quite remember

robust shoal
#

If you want ideas on how to arrange your hotbars better, there's xivbars.com and your job's guide on icy veins will also have kbm+controller hotbar examples with suggestions on best practices for arranging things

thin tartan
tepid briar
#

but yeah if you didn't know it already, if you press an ogcd while using a gcd

thin tartan
tepid briar
#

it'll automatically pop it once it can

#

you don't have to mash it 100 times

fierce matrix
#

Most actions on warrior wont interrupt your combo anyway like primal rend and fell cleave

#

So you dont necessarily want to finish your combo

#

Do you know difference between ogcd and gcd?

subtle sun
thin tartan
#

no

subtle sun
fierce matrix
#

Okay

#

Thats the start

thin tartan
fierce matrix
#

We gotta start SUPER early on

versed kayak
# subtle sun i mean this is my hotbar rn

People tend to bind everything past 5 to buttons around wasd like qerfzxcv to comfortably hit them without having to lift their hand off the keyboard

I'd also recommend binding the third hotbar so you don't have to click it

tepid briar
#

^

#

I use QE12345

#

you can also repurpose R (auto walk) and F (focus target) if you don't use those

thin tartan
#

^ i run 12345qezxc because thats what i find comfortable, you might like qert fg xzcvb

#

stuff like that

tepid briar
#

unless you're a mouse clicker

#

I would suggest having 3, maybe 4 hotbars

#

no modifier, CTRL, SHIFT, ALT (note that you might have to unbind some stuff from ALT in keybinds)

versed kayak
tepid briar
thin tartan
#

/keybinds

tepid briar
#

lemme show my hotbar

#

it's diff though since I'm whm :(

fierce matrix
# subtle sun no not really

GCDs are your global cool downs. The buttons that when you hit, you can only press after 2.5s.

oGCDs are off global cool downs, buttons that arent tied to that 2.5s CD and can be weaved (up to two) in between your GCDs.

Your GCDs are your combos, known as weaponskills on WAR. Abilities are you oGCDs. You cans ee this classication on your tooltips. Your whole goal is to keep your GCD rolling while weaving your oGCDs in when you can. Watch a good few guides to help get you there to understand this more

On my life this was in M10S

tepid briar
#

I target using mmo mouse

subtle sun
tepid briar
#

so my bottom row is just qe12345

subtle sun
amber fable
#

Hotbar 1 has 12334

tepid briar
#

second to bottom is

#

CTRL+Q, CTRL+E, etc.

amber fable
#

Hotbar 2 will have zxcvb

fierce matrix
#

I use 1234qerft, shift+1234qerft and ctrl+1234qerft

amber fable
#

For example

tepid briar
thin tartan
tepid briar
#

whm just has hella buttons

fierce matrix
#

I dont like alt but it doesnt matter for me

tepid briar
#

how the fuck you hitting shift+z

thin tartan
#

i use my side mouse buttons

#

as modifiers

tepid briar
#

oh

fierce matrix
#

I tie my mouse button to ctrl and shift

#

YOOO

thin tartan
#

i also hold w key with my ring finger

versed kayak
fierce matrix
#

Another enlightened soul

robust shoal
#

I have mouse buttons bound to ctrl and alt too

tepid briar
#

everything on there is like 120s+ cd

fierce matrix
#

You want to keep everything tightly compact and easy to hit

tepid briar
#

well asylum is 90

#

lucid is 60

versed kayak
#

alt is my utility and sometimes raid buffs bar

thin tartan
#

i have shift r for stance

#

and cotank buttons i just click

subtle sun
versed kayak
#

this is what I use, requires a mmo mouse ofc

tepid briar
#

combos are usually on gcds... right?

amber fable
#

Gcds are something you constantly press

tepid briar
#

so basically you gcd

#

and then you stuff whatever ogcds you can between the gcds

amber fable
#

123 combo is always casted

tepid briar
#

(usually one or two)

versed kayak
thin tartan
subtle sun
amber fable
#

Unless you have higher potency gcd available

thin tartan
#

you can just do
1-2-fell cleave-3

amber fable
#

Press P on your job

#

See the job actions

subtle sun
thin tartan
#

oh

amber fable
#

123

thin tartan
#

of course you do

amber fable
#

Dont 121

tepid briar
#

no reason to ever do a 1 2 1

thin tartan
#

never do like 112 121 132 113

#

strictly 123 123 123 123 123 123

tepid briar
#

rather

#

they're getting rid of the 3 button shit next expansion in evolved

robust shoal
#

Between GCD buttons (123, fell cleave, primal rend, etc) you get to press up to two non-GCD (usually called off-GCD or oGCD) buttons (rampart, unheaval, onslaught, etc)

tepid briar
#

cause that was pretty stupid anyway

amber fable
#

Reborn will be same

tepid briar
#

yeah for evolved mode tho

versed kayak
#

no real point in mentioning reborn tho since there's zero chance they're keeping it forever

tepid briar
#

they'll probably slowly make evolved stronger

versed kayak
#

so realistically you're gonna have to use evolved sooner or later

tepid briar
#

and if evolved works out they'll dump reborn in 9.0 or 10.0

amber fable
tepid briar
#

until reborn "somehow" becomes really shitty

#

then "nobody plays reborn anymore let's get rid of it"

amber fable
#

New jobs dont have it anyway

subtle sun
thin tartan
#

you should watch this

thin fox
#

i think its more likely that they simply stop working on reborn than outright ditch it

thin tartan
#

on god

tepid briar
#

there's some jobs where you're griefing if you play reborn though

#

like white mage

subtle sun
tepid briar
#

moving glare? sign me up

thin fox
#

ditch it as in remove it from the game

terse zodiac
#

People really be doomposting reborn mode when theyve said nothing even implying it will be removed

tepid briar
#

because they'll still have to balance it

thin fox
#

not if they simply stop adding to it

tepid briar
#

or they'll make it so weak nobody uses it unless they're larping

amber fable
#

Reborn mode is outdated

versed kayak
amber fable
#

Less doom and more realistic

#

And ff14 cant do both

tepid briar
robust shoal
#

tbf we don't know that reborn whm won't get an instant cast glare, they are still updating reborn mode kits

amber fable
#

Not enough manpower

tepid briar
#

then realize it's useless

terse zodiac
#

Ff11 still exists, and se loves spending money on wastes

tepid briar
#

I'm iffy on letting them get dps equivalency for every heal but

#

some qol like movespeed on temperance was needed

#

it's so weird that scholar was the only healer to give movespeed

robust shoal
#

no assize or asylum seems sadge

amber fable
#

I dunno if cast time parity will exist across modes

tepid briar
wicked delta
#

I am highly against the concept of insta cast glares

dapper zealot
#

I'm ok with no assize

amber fable
#

And will they allow reborn and evolve team up

wicked delta
#

Everything else is fine though

dapper zealot
#

no asylum is sad

tepid briar
#

hot take

#

they should make ast instant cast though

wicked delta
#

Lightspeed tho?

tepid briar
#

I think 1 of each healer type being caster seems doable

terse zodiac
#

Also balance might be completely up in the air, your favorite job might be stronger on reborn

tepid briar
#

whm/sch being casters

versed kayak
tepid briar
#

ast/sge being instant

modern raven
#

AST needs a gap closer

terse zodiac
#

He said in general evolved will be a tiny bit stronger, not every job

tepid briar
modern raven
#

Idk it’s the only job without one

amber fable
wicked delta
#

AST players cant whine when they have lightspeed

amber fable
#

From this sentence

wicked delta
#

You can move while still doing damage

dapper zealot
#

maybe glare could be a channelled thing

wicked delta
#

Press W and win

amber fable
#

Tether dps

tepid briar
#

and they want to add more chip healing requirements

amber fable
#

And afk

modern raven
#

Fair enough

tepid briar
#

and also get rid of fixed rotations

dapper zealot
#

I do want sge to focus a lot more on dps

tepid briar
amber fable
#

Sge is barrier whm anyway

tepid briar
#

I'm also iffy about letting white mage be dps even for ANY healing spell but that's just grumbling

#

you shouldn't be incentivized to cast medica 3 every few gcds - unless they bring back actual mp issues

robust shoal
#

I think lucid was gone too

#

so prolly no mp issues

tepid briar
#

they'll probably mix mp regen into the kit somehow

amber fable
#

No mp issues if things dont cost mp

#

Taps head

tepid briar
#

I like their idea of hybrid spells which both heal and harm

wicked delta
#

i need to get weapon lol

tepid briar
#

if they could add a few more of those it would be interesting

versed kayak
tepid briar
#

say, asylum but it also hurts enemies or some shit

#

or every X amount it heals allies, it does Y damage to enemies in the area

supple cape
#

is warrior gonna still have raw intuition at 70 in evolved

terse zodiac
#

It wasnt even dps neutral in the build they showed

tepid briar
wicked delta
#

rizz vs harassment

tepid briar
#

but there should be some incentive against "just in case" cast medica 3 every few seconds

versed kayak
subtle sun
tepid briar
amber fable
#

Post 50 is trait/follow up

versed kayak
#

as long as we don't get dumb shit like bards third song at 52, or form shift at 52 I'm happy with whatever

amber fable
#

Core rotation by 50

tepid briar
#

and I think that's honestly a really really good take to have

#

because people need to learn their rotation early

winged spindle
#

Oh the tank removed his proposition to join my static
He doesn’t understand why I hesitate to decide myself (he has a second static) and I let the tank spot open in my messages so it’s disrespectful sadgeplant
Last time I’m raid lead LUL

terse zodiac
#

Its okay for running roulettes but its gonna make jobs stale over the coming years

tepid briar
#

you shouldn't need to relearn your entire rotation every 10 levels

supple cape
#

just model every job after monk. you get your rotation at like 60 and you just add a few things here and there by 100

tepid briar
wicked delta
tepid briar
#

that just means those abilities have to be accessible at 50

wicked delta
#

Lmao

terse zodiac
#

Especially bc theyre losing a lot of "complexity" bad word for jt but eh

wicked delta
#

Evolved will have its core rotation by lvl 50

tepid briar
#

none of this dumbass "you get this at level 100"

terse zodiac
#

Getting stuff at high level is exciting tho? I like having new stuff every expansion

tepid briar
#

hopefully it also makes running older content more reasonable, but at the same time

wicked delta
#

i forgot i had this mod on

tepid briar
#

older content is going to be completely unbalanced

subtle sun
#

oh wait am i supposed to inner release right before fell cleave coolsdown?

tepid briar
#

but that doesn't mean the lv50s can't get the same stuff too earlier

amber fable
#

Fell cleave dont have cooldown

#

Its guage action

tepid briar
#

it just means you finally have buttons when you get synced to lower level content

terse zodiac
#

Yes with evercold, then next expansion just tiny upgrades on the same rotation and buttons

versed kayak
#

I personally couldn't care less about unlocking some reskin with a potency upgrade when leveling up

terse zodiac
#

Thats going to be so boring

tepid briar
#

and then add the button bloat back

#

lmao

versed kayak
#

They could solve the stale issue by adding GW2 elite specs (without the skill tree part)

tepid briar
#

and we're back to square 1

amber fable
#

Its consolidation

distant knoll
#

they were aiming for what, 16 buttons with role actions?

terse zodiac
#

Yes

tepid briar
#

I mean I'm gonna be honest

#

some of these buttons really had to be consolidated a long time ago

terse zodiac
#

Pretty much lol everything gonna be starry muse

amber fable
#

Good

tepid briar
#

and you're not really losing out on some of these

distant knoll
#

starry muse is the way it is bc it has 50 buffs stapled onto it

tepid briar
#

like you combine 1 and 2 into two charges of 1

#

you take out asylum but you get high cure

versed kayak
#

starry muse would also be more readable if they added buff icons and didn't do the thing of "Grants X, Y, Z" and then listing all of the explanations separately

tepid briar
#

aquaveil is getting merged with benison

amber fable
#

Asylum can be combined with temp

tepid briar
#

yeah

amber fable
#

Its just a regen doton

terse zodiac
#

Consolidation is fine, getting most of the rotation at low level is good, jobs barely changing after 50 is just a weird choice imo

tepid briar
#

I'm mainly interested in how they choose to add skill expression though

#

will they make fights more dynamic and reactive?

distant knoll
tepid briar
#

will they throw rotations out the window and make the combos ultra reactive?

#

like I know they're throwing it out, but how they accomplish that

#

and how they choose to design new fights as well

#

especially with the tickrate, you can't add any super fancy micro mechanics

robust shoal
#

game is 24tick, it's just the netcode that sucks

amber fable
#

Every mech is orbital omen

wicked delta
#

Another aloalo is just the normal version right

raven prawn
amber fable
#

Move like 2 sec ahead of time

terse zodiac
#

People often conflate snapshotting being confusing to bad tick rate

#

Or think dot tick rate is the same as mechanics

versed kayak
wicked delta
#

What have I done

tepid briar
#

snapshotting was what I meant

#

you're never gonna get "jiggle back and forth 3 times in one second" in this game

versed kayak
tepid briar
#

and anytime they've done moving damage like m9s saws it always ends up really sketchy

versed kayak
#

criterion is 10/10 content

terse zodiac
#

I think they could do some interesting mechs like that but yeah unlikely

wicked delta
#

Not saying its not fun!!!

fierce matrix
#

Does that count

wicked delta
#

I just joined a party thinking it was gonna be like advanced

#

And only just realized

#

Its criterion

#

Someone asked me to join im like sure im bored

dapper zealot

#

Hell people can barely handle tethers lol

tepid briar
#

like the flashing memorization stuff like rabbit and steel

#

and maybe by adding the new difficulty they can beef up savage complexity a little

wicked delta
#

gonna give this fit to my alt

#

she looks comfy

amber fable
#

I am more concerned when savage like m3s/m2s/p6s etc exist

#

Do those even need mid mode

tepid briar
#

one of the issues though.

#

raiders can't read

#

so anything reading goes out the window

amber fable
#

That shit is already piss

tepid briar
#

look at arena split

#

people fuck that up all the time

#

it's not even that hard

#

we had someone doing inner in an outer pf like five times in a row

amber fable
#

Stand and let things resolve mech

tepid briar
#

move the corresponding rotation in radians

#

if the outside arena is red but not flashing, do 11*15 instead

#

if your pair has a number divisible by three, multiply your number by 0.75

subtle sun
#

read my job and up to date with ocd and gcd, if i get into another m9s ill post my logs, hopefully their 200% better

#

also if i cant hit the enemy/boss ill use tomahawk to get more damage

tepid briar
#

would recommend smacking a dummy for a bit and trying to keep your uptime

#

if you need to queue easier content like roulettes it's a good place to practice under low pressure

subtle sun
amber fable
#

Yes

#

You can log a dummy

#

And upload it on act for analysis

subtle sun
#

oh ok how do i got about logging it?

ACT/Parsing Setup

Advanced Combat Tracker (ACT) can be used to view and record combat in real time to see player damage, healing, etc. ACT logs can then be uploaded to FFLogs to compare your performance with other players.

ACT/FFLogs Guide

The FFLogs client also includes meters, which can display rDPS in real time.

Please note this software is technically against the FFXIV Terms of Service and should only be used for personal improvement. Mentioning ACT/Parsing in-game, particularly to harass other players, is likely to result in punishment against your Square Enix account.

His gear sucks

amber fable

Makes sense

wicked delta
#

I have more hp than both dps

raven prawn
wicked delta
#

I am a healer

raven prawn
#

and im a tank, i would expect both of us to have more HP than the dps

wicked delta
#

No its not normal for a healer to have more hp than a samurai

#

It just means their gear sucks

#

The tank barely had like 2k more hp than I do

#

Samurai and blm both had like 16k, I was at 20k

#

Everyone had food too so like

Cluegi

clear plume
#

That reminds me of my wow character where I tried tanking a +10 mythic dungeon with 221 item level (it was owie owie pain ow)

wicked delta
#

This DRK goes

#

“Sorry my mit isnt as good as other tanks”

#

Brother its not that

#

Its the fact that you’re LITERALLY NOT USING ANY OF THEM

clear plume
#

I’d just say “it sure isn’t but it’s not the class”

wicked delta
#

Bro was tbnmaxxing while having shit gear

wicked delta
clear plume
#

If you equip better gear tbn doesn’t break

#

So it’s a dps loss

wicked delta
#

So true he knows something I dont

clear plume
#

That’s why in speeds they pull the boss while naked

#

It’s optimal

tall field
wicked delta
#

i was on my knees in tears

tall field

#

Scholar wouldnt need tanks to mit there

raven prawn

#

Ties with tbh

#

And drk dmg is 2nd to none imo

raven prawn
#

so of the 3, warrior, dark knight and gunbreaker, which ones the best to alt as?

tall field
#

Tbn+ 2x oblation

distant knoll
#

i think pld has better personals (guardian moment) but drk is goat for buddy mit

tall field
#

To mit 3 people even paladin cant yea

loud nymph
#

using actions is what breaks rez invuln

#

moving doesn't

wicked delta
#

And died

loud nymph
#

fair

#

dumbass

tall field
#

PLD can mit at most 2 people or do cover plus mit 1 person

#

Yea drks can mit 3 at once without a risk

raven prawn
#

ngl i always cover whoever is about to take damage/targeted by something we all need to dive on them for

clear plume
#

This ignores pld entire extra party mit it has

raven prawn
#

i forgot what its called

tall field
wicked delta
tall field
#

But also others have to respect it

loud nymph
# wicked delta

I had a DRK like this once in a level 90 dungeon and his reasoning was "well I don't normally have to use mits so it's actually your fault"

#

this game has the worst fucking community I stg

tall field
#

Like in m3s i literally couldnt use wings even once on attacks that mattered

Because of the way people end up fanning out

#

So ye

loud nymph
#

ask them to do the bare minimum and they act like you're driving a white hot poker through their skull

raven prawn
clear plume
#

Not really, wow is even worse for easy content being impossible to wipe on

tall field
#

Its a great mit if you find the moment to use it

amber fable
#

As a pld just flash wings

#

If people dont line up behind you

#

Its their fault

clear plume
#

Most dungeon bosses actually can not kill a tank in that game on levelling difficulty

wicked delta
amber fable
#

Nah

#

Call em

#

Be the bad guy

tall field
#

Or 0/X

tall field
#

If a mech forces people to come together

#

Then i see a wing use

loud nymph
wicked delta
#

Idk why its not on the defensives list

tall field
#

Yea explains why

#

They said

wicked delta
#

Like look

tall field
#

I have less mit vs others

wicked delta
#

If you undermit thats whatever but at least have gear lmao

tall field
#

Bro u have a mit 10 seconds shorter😭 then ur buddy friends

amber fable
#

Its df

wicked delta
#

I can heal through it but holy shit

amber fable
#

If people can even remember their 123

#

Its already gonna be a good dungeon run

wicked delta
#

You see your health constantly dropping to critical levels and don’t think “hmm i am a tank maybe I should press the button that mitigates it”

amber fable
#

I sometimes dont mit in expert to feel the hits

clear plume
#

So they don’t do that

wicked delta
#

That makes sense

clear plume
#

Saying you could use more reprisals is infinitely more valuable of feedback than you only used 2 tbn per minute

wicked delta
#

theres way more than this lmao

distant knoll
#

me when i play my job like i'm level 36

wicked delta
#

i jus realized that dungeon took 20 mins

#

sure felt like it!

clear plume
#

21 minutes yeah

#

I was gonna comment on it

tall field
#

Gotta love having the highest dps tank and still takes 20minsBluNyaissa

clear plume
#

But there are only so many times I can type “Thancred would never treat me like this” before it becomes cringe

#

And drk isn’t the best dungeon dps tank at all, has very little free cleave compared to the others

#

It’s 1m chooses between aoe or single target while the others free aoe

wicked delta
#

You do one expert dungeon and this happens

clear plume
#

And there isn’t enough raid buffs in your average dungeon for its 2m feed to catch up

wicked delta
#

Im tired boss.

clear plume
#

Gnb is probably best just off of what I know of their kit numbers?

#

Somebody check stats I’m in bedge

wicked delta
#

I find GNB/PLD most comfy to heal

#

Excluding WAR entirely bc they do that shit on their own

amber fable
#

Pld has self heal with dm

wicked delta
#

Speaking from dungeon pov ofc

amber fable
#

Gnb aoes are better

clear plume
#

Ok yeah I checked on mobile

#

Below like 50th percentile pld performs better tho but

#

If ur below 50th percentile dps as a tank class is not something to consider

question

#

im basically bis except for weapon

#

would it be a good idea to augment my tome weapon? just until i can replace it with a savage weapon

amber fable
#

If you can get savage wep before relic drops

loud nymph
#

augmented tome weapon can only help

#

it's obviously going to be replaced by savage/relic

#

but relic is still over 2 months away

wicked delta

subtle sun

can start greeding once you're comfy with keeping uptime

Try aiming for 90% first

and then slowly greed more

are my stats good for savages (arcadion)? i melded more materia on it for warrior and my ilvl is 780

i think before hand i didnt meld materia on when i cleared m9s

dapper zealot
#

Make sure you prioritise melding crit, then either det/direct. The basic double melds should be fine this late with 780

fierce matrix
#

Honestly stats dont matter too much if you arent keeping your full uptime

#

Id not worry about that stuff

jolly flume

optimal melds are maybe 5% of your dps

#

uptime is 90% of your dps

Total melds are 8%, optimal is like less than 1%

Crafting is really important to raiding in general but not so much that every player needs it up, nothing is that expensive that you can’t just spend the same time doing other ways to make money and buying your consumables/gear

Most people would be better off doing that than investing in trying to get crafting up quite honestly
