#

i'm kinda surprised they saved the Vana'dielian gear for the VERY LAST raid

#

you'd think the generic job gear would be uh
in the first raid or something lol

amber fable
#

Lhw gear looks more apt for hw

#

Hw gear looks like pvp knockoff

shy obsidian
#

yknow we kinda had a generational five-in-a-row run for good-looking raid gear

#

Edenmorn, Asphodelos, Abyssos, Ascension (debatable, but I love it), and Dark Horse Champion

#

like yall aren't lying when yall say this is the pinnacle of raid gear

#

all of em are flashy and camp

valid solar
#

abyssos is definitely the pinnacle of raid weapons

#

they looked better than relics

amber fable
#

I am basic bitch af gear glammer

#

But for weps abyssos was best so far

#

Nothing else has topped it

#

Their vfx are better than newer relics which is crazy

shy obsidian
#

this looks peak too btw

it's so weird and nonsensical (in a good way) and the color scheme is awesomeee

we already have a trench coatttt

unless you mean like... fully buttoned-up?

amber fable

Unbutton that

And remove tie

wait the coat is already unbuttoned tho

Remove that instead

And tie

prime knot
#

Hey guys I have a question the HW tier was my first Savage tier and I was hoping how can we prepare a new Ultimate raid?

zealous meteor
#

remember: lalafells are easier to position for mechanics

thin fox
#

other than that you use the same consumables (food/potions)

#

i would not worry about the relic since it will probably be equal to savage weapon

#

unless they actually let you fully customise stats this time which they haven't done since the shadowbringers relic

thin fox
#

no t he relic will be later

#

i'm just saying don't worry about being able to swap to relic asap

#

since it shouldn't be any better than the savage weapon

rapid whale
#

mmmmm

#

well no

#

it should be better just not enough to matter

#

cuz u get 2 maxed sub stat + 1 extra stat

thin fox
#

if you're asking how to prepare mechanically there's not a lot you can do. while there's a bunch of people doing o8s for prep/practice, most of the value from having that fight fresh in your mind is if you're doing blind prog.

#

for world race groups doing that will be helpful to have kefka-isms in your head but for someone like you or me who will just be adopting a widely used strat its not super relevant

rapid whale
#

ye

prime knot
thin fox
#

p much

#

someone else will figure out the pf strat

rapid whale
#

just making sure but you did finish heavyweight yea

#

u cannot enter without having cleared the tier

thin fox
#

yeah rn the most important thing is clear the tier and have your best in slot

#

if you dont clear the tier you cant do the ulti at all and if youre not in bis you will probably not be let into any pfs

prime knot
rapid whale
#

yea

#

okok good

thin fox
#

god

#

i st ill remember fru w1

#

these

#

TERRORIST healers

#

with their crafted glove

#

get the FUCK out of my PARTIES

rapid whale
#

oh yea well now u get double tome rings

prime knot
#

The bis isnt the mini ILVL to enter in the fight?

thin fox
#

premade parties have always been able to bypass ilvl restrictions

#

you could enter it fully naked technically

#

the ilvl restriction only affects your ability to queue with randoms

thin fox
#

so e.g. if you're in a party with 1 other person, you would both need the right ilvl to enter a dungeon, but if you were in a party of 4 people, you could enter the dungeon naked

rapid whale
#

that being said just get your full bis

thin fox
#

basically back in light-heavyweight the healer gear was really awful for the glove and so technically the crafted glove with pentameld was like a tiny bit better and so it would be used for parsing savage

#

and some people took it into ultimate

#

which is

#

gigagrief

#

because in exchange for the <1% damage increase youre losing a bunch of hp

raven prawn
thin fox
#

its just what theyre called

raven prawn
#

whats the difference between light and heavyweight savage?

thin fox
#

theming of the tier

#

its kind of incoherent

raven prawn
thin fox
#

because the arcadion story seems to be implying that higher weight class = more advanced/better fighter(?)

#

which is just not how weight classes work

#

its a story detail and has nothing to do with the actual raids, basically

rotund summit
thin fox
#

light-heavyweight (1st tier) -> cruiserweight (2nd tier) -> heavyweight (3rd tier)

rotund summit
#

cruiserweight was the 2nd

sleek moon
#

think of it as leagues, going from the minor leagues to the major leagues

#

which again not how fighting works but they went with that

raven prawn
#

so whats the difference? does the difficulty scale or something? or is it a pve mmr thing?

thin fox
#

no its just what each set of raids is called

sleek moon
#

its just the order they were released

#

the first 4 raids were called light heavyweight

raven prawn
#

ohhhh, ok that makes sense 😄 ty

sleek moon
#

the next 4 were called cruiserweight

thin fox
#

like in endwalker the tiers were called asphodelos -> abyssos -> anabaseios

sleek moon
#

we get raids 4 at a time

thin fox
#

just happens to be what theyre called

rotund summit
prime knot
wicked delta
sleek moon
#

like eden raids are divided in eden's gate, eden's verse, eden's promise

#

coils binding coil, second coil, final coil

amber fable
#

But difficulty per floor isnt same

#

4th floor in general will always be harder than 1st

#

Regardless of tier

thin fox
#

usually the way tiers work in terms of relative difficulty is that the 1st tier is easy (relatively speaking), the 2nd tier overcorrects and ends up being the hardest, and then the 3rd tier dials it back and ends up somewhere in the middle

#

i would argue this is true of at least the past 3 expansions

amber fable
#

M6s was hardest floor this expansion

thin fox
#

individual fights obv vary

#

anabaseios was middle tier in terms of difficulty for endwalker imo but p10s is the single hardest fight of the expansion

sleek moon
#

i would say heavyweight broke that with the tyrant vs bj brothers

prime knot
amber fable
#

Tyrant has dps check

#

But it wasnt adds bs

#

Week 1 it was fucking hell

#

Like..god damn

thin fox
#

tyrant is probably closer to a p10s case for me where its just exceptionally rough in an otherwise not too dramatic tier

#

esp considering last tier had m6 to m7 to m8 back to back to back

#

lol

amber fable
#

But do it min ilvl

#

To feel close to week 1

thin fox
#

m11s was probably more rough than 6/7/8 but i think 6/7/8 combined were worse than 10/11/12

amber fable
#

M8s was fast but mech wise wasnt hard

tepid briar
thin fox
#

7 was a case where it wasn't a v complicated fight but no one could do the dps check

#

it would be week 15 and you're still seeing enrage

tepid briar
#

if you don't know your rotation you ain't clearing even this late

amber fable
#

3rd floor is basically dps check floor

tepid briar
#

mfin 3 parsing people

amber fable
#

I cleared m11 week 4 with 9 deaths and saw enrage this week with 10

thin fox
#

one of the final clears i did of m11s was getting a 15k healer their first clear

#

💪

amber fable
#

And that kill had less average ilvl

tepid briar
amber fable
#

Than this week

tepid briar
#

but people fr be trying to clear when they're barely doing damage

prime knot
amber fable
#

Its basically a score for your dps

#

Its percentile score

prime knot
tepid briar
#

we got a 10:40 with this

#

now imagine week 1

prime knot
amber fable
#

Based on max dps

#

A person does 100 dps and 2nd does 99

tepid briar
#

but dragoon only did 32k DPS when the median is 40k so

rapid whale
amber fable
#

So 2nd will have 99 parse

tepid briar
#

ofc we barely cleared

amber fable
#

First will have 100

zealous meteor
rapid whale
#

no we have standards

tepid briar
#

yeah basically they don't actually sort you but grade you based on the statistics for the day

#

so if max is 40k and median is 30k, 35k gets you a 75 right

amber fable
#

No

#

38k would be 75

tepid briar
#

though idk if they include outliers?

rain geode
amber fable
#

Again if top dps is 40k and 2nd place is 36k for example

#

Then 35k can be 90+ too

tepid briar
#

icic

#

well I'll read their FAQ sometime

amber fable
#

Its relative essentially

#

Relative to highest dps uploaded

prime knot
#

Where in the game do we get those informations ?

rapid whale
#

smile

amber fable
#

Not in game

clear plume
#

Percentile isn’t relative to highest parse

#

It’s based on the actual rank you have

prime knot
amber fable
#

Not parse

#

The dps

#

Parse is score

clear plume
#

If you’re rank 30 out of 300 people you’re 90 or above, that’s the only thing that matters for the number shown

#

Outside of your actual damage number

jolly flume
#

ASP is the relative statistic

clear plume
#

And it’s relative skewed in a way to hurt people below max more than percentile is

amber fable
#

Yea

rapid whale
#

If it was raw DPS wouldn't it take a literal 0 DPS clear to get a 0

prime knot
#

Ok ok

clear plume
#

That’s literally just based on your rank yeah

#

Not any kind of damage comparison

thin fox
clear plume
#

It only differs from the ranking tab sometimes bc of it using yesterdays statistics to estimate it for the page

rapid whale

would it be psychotic to play healer on jp when i don't speak the language

how does auto translate in this game work

Yea unfortunately

limpid edge
#

NA might not even get it till evercold

and that assumes test goes well

#

had to have been a monumental technical challenge for SE to implement this

visual geyser
#

Nah they wouldn’t wait for EC launch too risky

limpid edge
#

so expect not so smooth feature with limitations

visual geyser
#

Idk they’ve done stuff like this and it’s been mostly fine

#

Don’t remember any major issues with server travel, cloud dc’s

limpid edge
#

this is a whole diff ballpark

visual geyser
#

I believe in intern kun

limpid edge
#

near real time communication between DCs is unprecedented for FF14

thin fox
#

They've alluded to it for a while that they've been able to do this for a while

#

And that it's mostly just about flipping a switch

#

So I imagine the concern is more stress testing at scale

limpid edge
#

well i hope it's smooth at scale

rapid whale

my wild guess is that they are using the cloud server test tech to make instances for the cross dc pf's

rapid whale
#

no u shiggy

wicked delta
#

Ok I have to start studying

#

Biggest struggle with rep 1 rn is that I keep losing my damn clone

#

That shit really is fast

loud nymph
#

best way I've found to do it is just to focus in on one of the fire clones

#

(or both of them)

#

since it'll always go fire dark fire dark or dark fire dark fire, you'll always know where the dark clones are if you know where the fire clones are

wicked delta
#

I think ill understand the more I see it but just

#

💀

#

I did it right a few times but on the final few pulls I completely lost sight of him

wicked delta
#

Sometimes its easy but other times im just ???? Where the fuck is he

#

I’ll try to zoom out even more so it’s easier to see next time

loud nymph
#

I feel like it's easier to solve when there's less to see

#

so what I typically do is just set the camera up so I see both fire clones and basically nothing else

#

there's always gonna be a fire clone in melee

#

so if the one I focus on goes to melee I already know where the dark clone for melee is (directly opposite on the other side of the hitbox)

#

if the one I focus on doesn't go to melee then I know the dark clone for melee is on the same side where the one I focused on jumped

#

just, one step closer to the hitbox

#

it's kinda hard to explain over text but it makes sense in my head

wicked delta
#

Hm okay

#

I don’t really get it yet but I’ll try to keep that in mind

loud nymph
#

basically just focus on the one thing that helps you solve it

#

rather than trying to read the entire arena and all the jumps at once

#

if you know where a fire clone is, everything is solved

#

because they always alternate and they always go on the same diagonal line

wicked delta
#

Right

#

So basically don’t over complicated it

loud nymph
#

yeah pretty much

#

it's especially nice as melee because you can brain off if you get the dark debuff

thin fox
#

I'm developing my primitive methods of communication

zealous meteor
#

do JP servers o/

thin fox
#

I imagine there's probably some set of convenient macros I'll end up with for primitive communication

#

I cant believe Im not getting dungeon queues at 10am on a Monday

#

I'm noticing the default JP greeting is yoroshiku onegaishimasu

For now I will use these macros I think

thin fox

theyll love me because Im CUTE

limpid edge
#

where does gladiator rank on pjob dps?

proud roost
thin fox
#

yeah so basically same as NA

#

ppl usually dont talk in dungeons unless theres a reason in most cases

proud roost
#

eh, nobody says anything even if wipes occur (again in DF)

#

Sometimes you get an "I'm sorry" from the healer or tank, whoever dies first

#

oh right, I have no solid proof for this but people generally follow the tank's pace in dungeons without question

#

No such thing as ypyt as far as I know

hot take i really dislike the remakes of old ff themes in 14

music wise

like the EW trial themes, Enuo, Kefka, etc

amber fable

I havent played most old ff so I dont really care

Only played this game

Because it's an MMO

rotund summit

i havent played them either i just find them grating after 1 clear or so

And those that I did ..its good to hear some nostalgic music

But that's it

#

I mute raid bgm

#

Most of the time

#

It gets annoying eventually

random needle

I think they're neat callbacks personally, usually without being too distracting

Also I kinda pogSire when they have snippets of the original chiptune included, like in Barbie's theme or the Enuo intro

Do ranged dps also do crit+DH melding like tanks?

(asking for a friend)

I mean brd

if not doing bis us tanks just slap crit, dh if no crit gains

bard is crit > det > dhit >>> sks (outside of hitting target gcd) from what i see on balance

Det dh as per tiering

You dont go all det or dh

Its a balance between 2

what if no bis tho

amber fable

It doesn't matter

Meld crit on all then go all det

Marginal difference at most

You can follow balan meld but as long as you remember the basic idea

i just skip everything until i can play it all in one go
