[craggy marsh]

WoW has more shit going on in the fights tho

[thin fox]

casting in general is sorta like youre only half paying attention

[craggy marsh]

I think? I never played WoW and only seen some stuff on how fights work

[wicked delta]

It became so obnoxious I just watched Sayakei (i think) lmfao

[thin fox]

I understand they’re just doing what they need to do in order to be entertaining but im just like

Oh my god I don’t care man

[thin fox]

such a hater

[wicked delta]

And proud

[rapid whale]

Wow is more like, 4-6 people are "actually doing something" the way you would in savage while the rest DPS but who those 4-6 are might change throughout the fight

[craggy marsh]

Aaaah

[zealous meteor]

the T in tobias stands for The hater

[craggy marsh]

I last played WoW during the Panda expansion but never did actual raiding

bc I was like

[craggy marsh]

or whenever it came out

[rapid whale]

Think of it like, on ecliptic there was only the meteor baits no puddles in the center

[craggy marsh]

Okay yeah I was 12

came out in 2012

[worn bluff]

imagine if they pulled random useless stats out like sportscasters

"looks like their PLD had a 21% crit rate that time, which made them miss the enrage. he's only had a 21% crit rate in 3 of the last 28 pulls"

I was in a static with people from another region briefly and yeah it really sucked having those odd raid hours during the work week

[daring pine]

nah in all fairness I was gonna leave at some point anyway, the schedule never worked

[craggy marsh]

aaah

[daring pine]

But i'm a selfish bitch and wanted to clear

so maybe i clear this week

idk

no hard feelings though

[craggy marsh]

I have a strict 5PM-11PM time for when I want to raid

My ass does not want to raid before or after that

[daring pine]

man i was raiding from midnight until 2am 🥀

where my sleepge..

[craggy marsh]

Well it's not like I really can raid before 5PM bc of work

[craggy marsh]

Ya raid should never make you miss out on sleep

not worth it

[valid solar]

I was in a static that played in their (NA) morning which was like my 10pm so the timing was perfect for me, unfortunately they were progging a bit too slow for me so I went back to pf

yes it was that bad

[daring pine]

yeah i'm definitely raiding on eu next expansion

[rapid whale]

i could imagine doing it for like a single week maaaaaaybe two

but yeah for an entire tier is crazy work

sajjies you didnt get the clear before it happened

[daring pine]

You underestimate how little i care about my health

I mean i could still clear

I'm on 9.9% and i have 2 sessions left

Granted we'll have to reclear 11 but that will..hopefully take two seconds

this was a prog enrage to clear party too

[pale urchin]

Question to Ultimate Raiders, between TOP and FRU, is TOP still the annoying hardest Ultimate Raid?

[versed kayak]

People usually put FRU somewhere between TEA and DSR with TOP still being the hardest yes

[pale urchin]

Oh sweet lord.
Was planning what Ultimate I wanna try if I ever clear UCOB and UwU.

[versed kayak]

Do TEA, it's fun

[pale urchin]

Noted on TEA, just still hating on Brute Justice during OG HW Savage Era...

[normal summit]

Twice over I’ve helped with a UCoB prog followed by a TEA prog. Both times, TEA has been a quicker kill than UCoB, especially with skipdolls

[pale urchin]

I guess UCOB issue was the Triple Threat Phase

from fresh ? or like final phase

question

[mortal flower]

Answer

[raven prawn]

for endgame, what tomestones are used? im wondering if theres a point of me going for allagan tomestones

[zealous meteor]

joke answer that just makes things more confusing

[mortal flower]

For Endgame both [non-poetics] are used as a revolving door

Non-limited is used for expac start

And or non-peak ilvl gear

[raven prawn]

so theres no point of me going for poetics then?

[mortal flower]

Poetics are solely for [non-current] expac

They're the replacement for the limited/non-limited tomes when the expac is old and stinky

[versed kayak]

It's catch up currency while leveling

[lyric summit]

poetics = old content
mathematics = level cap catchup gear / endgame grind stuff like relics
mnemonics = "best" gear, weekly capped

[mortal flower]

^

[raven prawn]

so since im in dawntrail and near level 100, theres no point in me going for them?

[lyric summit]

only if you want to gear lower level jobs

[mortal flower]

Poetics gear will carry you till like 96/97

[lyric summit]

or do some old content like manderville weapons etc

[mortal flower]

After that you gotta get on the gear treadmill

[raven prawn]

im level 98 lol

[mortal flower]

Then poetics gear is not useful to you anymore

[versed kayak]

95 is when dungeon gear is better

[raven prawn]

sweet 😄

thank you

[versed kayak]

97 is for the relic/savage weapon iirc

[mortal flower]

Yeah, but you can getaway with full poetics until then normally

By then things will get ouchy

[normal summit]

From fresh. If people are willing to study for wormhole and phase 4, TEA is a very fast prog.

[tough gorge]

tea is a very frontloaded ult yeah

a lot of downtime in phase 3
and phase 4 is just a victory lap

[normal summit]

And now that you can skip pretty much all of phase 1 easily, wormhole is really the only proper wall of the fight

[tough gorge]

like the only attacks that even happen in p3 uptime are
buster
buster
raidwide
j kicks

[tall field]

I wonder will evercold affect it

But lets see

[kind elm]

bjcc much bigger wipe point ime

[tough gorge]

once you can get bjcc down consistently it's pretty much home free

[kind elm]

yea

[tough gorge]

the walls are bjcc and wormhole

that's it

[robust shoal]

it's funny given how we all thought the fight would be completely unpuggable when it released

but it's pretty static as far as ultis go

it definitely helps that you can just 3-stack the waters now

and ofc we don't have to do TPS wormhole any more

[zealous meteor]

gonna one pull TEA brb

[robust shoal]

Praise be No-Hit Codex Presents Dehydrated Walrus Also Known as Brute Justice Goes to McDonalds Strategy for Wormhole Formation in the Epic of Alexander (Ultimate)

[zealous meteor]

brute justice is the kinda boss to order one coffee and leave

[tough gorge]

it's so funny knowing that if I were to ever do tea again I'd have to reprog it from scratch, since my static at the time used unoptimal strats

but they were the only ones we could get in video guide format so lol

[valid solar]

what did brute justice get from mcdonalds

[grand mesa]

i'm glad foxpaw isn't a pug strat

[wicked delta]

Wtf is a Foxpaw

[valid solar]

hope this helps

[wicked delta]

I have even more questions now

[robust shoal]

foxpaw is the worst wormhole strat known to man

it's supposed to simplify it by having everyone do similar movement but it's finnicky on positioning and has a million unwritten rules that wipe you if you don't know them

i fix some of the melds i have in my 780 gear and oh lord it fixed my dps problem

i can now hit 66k dps

on drk

[versed kayak]

I'm guessing that's just the peak during burst?

[pale gale]

yep peak

not bis

but still

i was doing like mid 55s

[raven prawn]

What was the issue?

[pale gale]

not enough crit

so i put crit

bruh i have been putting up with this shit for 3 hours

[raven prawn]

hold up, are people that desperate to clear now their offering vast amounts of gil! (i know 200k isnt much to some but to me thats a lot right now)

[pale gale]

is so tempting to join

[versed kayak]

It's not for the clear it's for the loot

[pale gale]

raghghh

[pale gale]

its loot

hence reclear

[raven prawn]

dont you need to clear the boss to get the loot?

[pale gale]

i already cleared it

well

not this week

but

[raven prawn]

i know you did, im talking about the host of said session

[pale gale]

i am the host

😭

fuck it i joined a jp lobby

[raven prawn]

im so confused on how the endgame stuff works, if you have cleared, how are you still getting loot? and dont you need to kill the boss to get said loot?

[pale gale]

its per weekly

you kill it once a week to get the loot

hence why im paying 200k gil to just pass the ring

[raven prawn]

so if you have cleared it, how are you still getting chests?

[valid solar]

it resets every week

[versed kayak]

There's two options usually: You either pay people for the clear, or you pay people to pass on a specific piece of loot that you want

[pale gale]

it resets every week

[raven prawn]

i get that, but you said you already cleared it this week

[pale gale]

nop

i said

i havent

well

[raven prawn]

ah gotcha

[flat axle]

Is the raid for dawntrail complete? All the fights out?

[versed kayak]

The normal/savage raids and alliance raids are done yes

Only getting one more ultimate raid

[flat axle]

I never geared up for raids, do I just buy the gear from the market and hop in the raid?

[versed kayak]

Normal or Savage?

[flat axle]

Savage, I done the normal but I wanna do savage now

Well for previous expansions I only done the normal ones

[fierce matrix]

Focus on getting your crafted set and spend your tomesstones of mnemonics on your inaugmented bis pieces of gear

Make sure you have your bis set of gear

Then you can also upgrade your crafted set in Solution Nine with Tomestones of Mathematics

[pale gale]

god help me

cant larp for jp now can i

[valid solar]

the bard is new

[pale gale]

it is new we manage to get to prog

its the paladin that is not new

and the healers

honestly the fact we manage to get to hell in cell is "good" but wifi on the bard is acting up

had to leave

[raven prawn]

on average, how long would you say it would take to get a full set of bis gear from tomestones? and are the tomestone ones better than the crafted gear?

(i have no clue really how ff14 endgame works)

[pale gale]

for the most part the language barrier is whats stopping me from actually trying to help

ya know jp and stuff

cant exactly use google translate on some stuff

[loud nymph]

usually 4-5 weeks of tomestones and yes it's better than crafted

[pale gale]

for starting out i would say crafted gear is easy to get since tomestones rely on weekly cap but its better than spending at least 2 mill gil but that wouldnt be a problem if you are saving and not buying as much

[loud nymph]

because you aren't using full tomestone gear as your bis

[sinful brook]

Keep in mind that the 4 to 5 weeks is only half of actual bis

[loud nymph]

if you're trying to equip every slot with tome gear, well, then that a) won't be bis and b) will take longer

[versed kayak]

Crafted is i770
Augmented Crafted is i780
Tome is i780
Augmented Tome is i790
Savage is i790

[sinful brook]

It's more like 8 to 9 weeks if you're full tome

[loud nymph]

ye

[pale gale]

meanwhile im trying to get savage slot for my ring

😭

[loud nymph]

Actual bis will always be a mix of augmented tome and savage drops

[fierce matrix]

Yep, basically what they all said

[pale gale]

savage gear is once a week so depending on the loot rule, you might not get it on the first run or clear

you can get books

[fierce matrix]

You get books to compensate, and rn you also get coins from the alliance raid to compensate augments

[sonic helm]

i finally have my hands on some 780 gear yeaya

[fierce matrix]

Ontop of using nuts to buy augments too

[pale gale]

hunt trains

i actually hate hunting trains in jp

[fierce matrix]

Normally that isnt on tier launch, but a patch later

[queen raft]

Could the WoL should use Kairos to watch their favorite movie over and over again

[pale gale]

could

[queen raft]

Since it's a memory reconfiguration system

[pale gale]

though if you die you will have to relive the fact you already wactch it so many times that its becomes tedious

like a huge memory flashbang

[queen raft]

Oh

[raven prawn]

im not even touching savage till i feel geared enough to do so/ also cleared a few extremes

[pale gale]

i would get this extreme trial as the weapon is ilvl 785

and it aint that bad

[raven prawn]

theres certain content to im not touching unless i have someone on voice to help, savage is also part of that since i see it as the most challenging content in the game

[loud nymph]

It's not lmao

ultimate exists

[tall field]

Well its the...2nd

[pale gale]

its not challenging

[tall field]

Yea ult exists

[pale gale]

its

[tall field]

Also savage depends on which savage

[loud nymph]

savage is also really not thaaaaaat challenging, for the most part

[pale gale]

kinda a huge step in diff than normal but not as hard as ultimate

[queen raft]

Oh I managed to solo one of the Stormblood extremes

[pale gale]

its more so about just learning then it becomes easy

[loud nymph]

Blind savage or w1 savage, absolutely, very difficult

but this far in

[raven prawn]

ngl from people who have cleared it, you know what to do hence why you say its not challenging. to people like me who havent. i see it as my endgame goal challenge and im not touching it unless certain perametiers are met

[loud nymph]

shit's really not hard at all

[fierce matrix]

Id also say some ultimates are easier than savage

[pale gale]

its moreso finding some peeps

😭

[fierce matrix]

Like uwu for instance

[loud nymph]

yea like, the real challenge with savage is just being consistent and not fucking things up that you've already done

[fierce matrix]

Pf when weapons

[loud nymph]

Every PF is weapons prog

just like every pf was snake 1 prog

just like every pf was diamond dust/icicles prog

[fierce matrix]

Every party was millennium prog

[loud nymph]

fuck ferring decay so much

[versed kayak]

(Even blind it's not that hard unless you're in a rush to clear for w1/world first ofc)

[pale gale]

or you know, do some certain dark arts

red dot detected

[raven prawn]

ngl a lot of it is me feeling geared enough and clearing anxietys to actually try it, especially with randoms

[versed kayak]

Cheating doesn't count

[pale gale]

lol ahahaha

[loud nymph]

yeah I guess I'm just not big brain enough to figure some of the more complex mechs out blind

it took me forever how to learn something like p8s natural alignment, with guides, can't imagine trying to do it blind

[versed kayak]

I'm looking forward to doing that one, almost there

P8S in general seems very fun to blind prog

[pale gale]

whats a cute lalafell name

[loud nymph]

p8s was generally a good fight, it's probably a lot less painful now with buff ranges extended

[pale gale]

i kinda wanna make a lalafell character

[versed kayak]

From my experience this late into a tier a lot of the players will also be new so you're probably not gonna stick out much

[loud nymph]

I fucking hated it when it was live because of the whole fucky burst timings thing

plus no range meaning half the group would miss your buffs if they came up during manifold flames

which they would if you got dog first

plus caster HP without a personal defensive meant I was putting my life in the healers hands during dog jumps

[pale gale]

if you state that you are new to the fight, people wouldnt be that mad as long as you are just progging well

like no one wants to kick down a new raider unless they refuse to learn and adapt

its all about mindset and willing to try out new stuff

[mighty agate]

Tax Evasion

Taxevader Vavader or something

[raven prawn]

ngl all of this is good to hear 😄 i just dont want to slow others down, especially as a tank

[rapid whale]

it pretty much boils down to like

do you respect others time enough to take the steps needed

1 of those being watching a guide, if it's content that's been out for a while

another would be just mentioning you're new yea

[pale gale]

most of the progs i do is mostly coming down to positional mistakes

like not in the right place at the right time

[rapid whale]

joining the correct party/learning to read PF descriptions is another step i'd say

it doesnt happen often but i've absolutely had PF's where someone just wants to try out raiding and joins but is 100% fresh

[versed kayak]

Isn't that basically every mechanic failure outside of not meeting a dps check lol

[pale gale]

yeah

its the same as drinking water for the first time

jk

ahhahahaa

god please send another one

one more

😭

[rapid whale]

what is game 8

[deep gale]

jp strat per wtfdig

idk whats different

[random needle]

I think it's this?

Looks pretty similar to NA strats to my eye

With some minor differences like HiaC prio

[rapid whale]

o god that reminded me

this week on m9s hiac

lmfaoo

so the phys range's tower was like the most ccw tower from north it could possibly be

and uhh they didnt kill theirs quickly so when it was my turn I stood on top of them instead of going to my actual tower LMFAO

[versed kayak]

It's the site that makes JP strats, kinda like hector I believe

[rapid whale]

im just happy at least that my openers are more consistent at 60k

and i got the ring coffer

[amber fable]

M11 this week I jumped as 7/8 were dead, didnt see healer had got a rez and did lb3

Thankfully i got rezzed before tower pop

And we cleared

Cursed ass clears

[pale gale]

at least its smoother than my last week m9s run

2 wipes

one was laggin hard

[rapid whale]

i never know what to do with someones who giga lagging

like obv it sucks and it isnt their fault but theres only so many pulls you're willing to give you feel me

now time to farm totems on extremes

[random needle]

Praying tonight I'll have the motivation to do m11 again

I really want to skip to 12 but then I'd be giving up the tome augment when I only need one more 11 clear for it

[amber fable]

I got everything from m11 now

Dont have to enter it anymore

[loud nymph]

I mean at this point I'd just farm hunts/AR coins for tome augments

[amber fable]

Wep augment isnt available yet

[loud nymph]

unless you really need the weapon augment for some inexplicable reason I guess

[amber fable]

From it

[loud nymph]

but like

[amber fable]

Idk

[loud nymph]

why would you need that

[amber fable]

Just get relic

Beside doing ult week 1

[loud nymph]

I mean if you're planning to do w1 ult you'd want the savage weapon anyway

ain't no value in augmented tome weapon for that

esp with relic still a good like 2 months away

[random needle]

I'll feel incomplete :(

And I've seen/contributed to too many stupid enrages and I want to minimize that as much as possible, and it's "just" one more m11

[rapid whale]

have u been doing your weekly windurst

cuz thats a free twine/glaze

[loud nymph]

tbh m12s enrage is not tight at all

[rapid whale]

yea m11s enrage was def tighter relative to the gear/timing

[loud nymph]

yea, 11 was much tighter

12 is like

"did you fuck up idyllic"

"no? cool enjoy your clear"

"yes but healer lb? cool enjoy your clear"

[random needle]

I have everything augmented except the weapon atp

[rapid whale]

o

enuo weapon

[random needle]

And I'm one book away from affording the augment

[loud nymph]

tbf yeah

[random needle]

I still haven't even unlocked Enuo

[loud nymph]

enuo wep is what 785?

[rapid whale]

does sis even play this game /s

[random needle]

It's been a weird time lately I'm sorry 😭

[zealous meteor]

imagine PLAYING this game

wtf

[amber fable]

Free login is da wae

[random needle]

I don't like raiding on steam deck when I can avoid it but I've had to travel a bunch lately

[amber fable]

Enuo is pretty easy

[valid solar]

enuo has like 3 mechanics that get repeated for 10 minutes

[random needle]

With a competent group I could almost definitely do it in <10 pulls at worst, most of which would wipe to chasers

I know PF though

[amber fable]

You can join duty completion party immediately after watching a guide

Thats what I did and cleared in like 6 or so pulls

I think

[rapid whale]

prog lying is only bad if you cant keep up

😇

[amber fable]

It has like 2 mechs

To watchout far

The emerald wep balls

And naught hunts

Thats it

[random needle]

Considering I prog lied to m10 arena split in like 2 pulls... ykw fair

[rapid whale]

everything is a study check

[loud nymph]

Enuo is like

Can you do intermission

Can you do chasing balls

Grats you win

[random needle]

I'm thinking about it again and I think another part of the problem is that last time I was in PF, I was in VC with someone who just kinda laughed at me crashing out bad over my mistakes

[amber fable]

Oh it was 10 pulls kek

[random needle]

And being laughed at when that happens makes it so so so much worse

[amber fable]

Good thing about enuo is you either wipe or clear

I havent seen enrage

Yet

[random needle]

So next time I need to be in Not That VC

[kind elm]

they got chasers in ff..

[random needle]

And they keep snapshotting me at the worst times

[kind elm]

wtf thats fucked up

kill with hammer.

[random needle]

They're a reasonably chill person most of the time but I don't think they realized how bad I was crashing out then

I know I can do it, I've got everything in place for me to not repeat my mistakes and stuff, I just have to actually do the thing

[kind elm]

this is beginning to sound like the shit @vast jacinth says about her friend 😭

(ily chery)

[random needle]

The person in question is in my old content static and stuff is chill there I promise

It helps that in that group as a whole, we all have enough cameraderie to be able to rib and reassure each other when stuff goes wrong, instead of messing up once and publicly flogging them

Speaking of that group, there's a good chance we clear p4s this Friday I think... I hope

[rapid whale]

being able to laugh at mistakes is healthy i think

unless it goes into the not trying to improve levels

that is to say i think they meant well

[random needle]

I don't think they intended any malice either, it just felt like I was getting mocked in that moment because of mental crisis mode

[rapid whale]

how dare you be reasonable

you must crash out and blist them for daring to poke fun /s

[random needle]

It felt less like laughing off the mistake and more laughing at my (extremely bad) reaction to it, since my mistake led to a <1% enrage again

[dapper zealot]

let's point and laugh at bapple instead

[rapid whale]

was it like catastrophic error cuz if it was just you that died theres def more that happened

considering a good party doesn't even get most of the final 2min out

[random needle]

I moved my tether to the wrong corner in ecliptic, which led to like... 3 or 4 deaths, but not me specifically dying

[rapid whale]

icic

[random needle]

Because the person who was supposed to be in that corner didn't overlap me, which meant I didn't get hit by their meteor, but they got hit by mine and theirs, and they clipped the center too

[queen raft]

Trying to play WHM with joystick drift is hell

[random needle]

It could have been better if they just parked on top of me and only killed us two, but I was still the primary reason it got fucked

(this was also the last pull that got that far before disband, and it's the last time I was in instance for the past ~2 weeks, so it's had too much time to fester in my head as being my greatest failure and stuff)

[clear plume]

Chokes happen

[random needle]

Mhm, and in a normal environment, I'd have been able to shrug it off and keep going, and I've... not done a good job of that with this lmao

I just need to get it done tonight, then I can put it to rest

[trim frost]

flogging ❌ ff logging ✅

[vast jacinth]

Is finee and i love u tooo ,back to ghost of yotei i goio

[random needle]

Tonight I get my >50 on m11s RAAAAHHHH

[valid solar]

stream

[stray forge]

U first

[rapid whale]

no u

[vast jacinth]

Cant :) ps5 sucks

[valid solar]

and itll never be on pc

[valid solar]

wanna watch me take gposes and argue in the lore channel ?

[stray forge]

Tbh I’m not really a stream watcher #geriatric

[valid solar]

sis has got the immunity to parasocial relationships passive

[raven prawn]

FINALLY MY FIRST JOB AT LEVEL 100!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

306 HOURS

lol

paladin forever!

[visual geyser]

Congrats

[queen raft]

The PS5's internet connection sucks too

[zealous meteor]

paladin never

DRK <3

[loud nymph]

imagine playing pld, this post brought to you by the drk gang

[queen raft]

WAR is the best

[amber fable]

Pld was my first job

[queen raft]

ACN was my first job

[amber fable]

So it will always be more special than others to me

[queen raft]

DRK was my first tank job

[amber fable]

Pld/drk in general

Everything else is whatever my mood is

[queen raft]

I think SGE was my first healer job

[worn bluff]

DRK is not a WK approved tank class

[raven prawn]

is that wired? cause mine wired is pulling 78mb down, 20 upload

[craggy marsh]

I like DRK but the players are very easy to ragebait

is there a lore reason for that

[raven prawn]

https://giphy.com/gifs/edge-jeff-hardy-bubba-ray-dudley-wlNB9awYZeJPi

its called EDGE

like this sick jump

[craggy marsh]

[random needle]

They're one of the more likely jobs to be really chuuni about it I think

(which is rich coming from a BLM player but)

[craggy marsh]

What's there to be chuuni about

[queen raft]

Wifi

[scarlet lintel]

i didnt bother parsing this tier...
welp, guess no ultimate static for me

ill just do 15 hour days in PF i guess

[loud swift]

i'll never understand the obsession with parses cuz they look fine to me

[scarlet lintel]

idk i was checking recruiting and saw one team without any real reqs and then i checked the tank and it was all pink and orange

[loud swift]

theyre just a gamer i guess

[tepid briar]

bro says didn't bother and it's blue/purple

honestly I don't think it matters as long as it's not grey or consistently all green or something

you can have nice parses but be very inconsistent and fuck up at mechanics and progging blind

[scarlet lintel]

ig there's no harm in trying

[tepid briar]

as long as you know your rotation and aren't a complete sandbag

[deep gale]

Anecdotally when I was forming my ultimate group (years ago) I didn't really care so long as you knew what you were doing.

Ymmv especially if you're trying to clear fast

[modern raven]

I feel like the most odd folks I meet are DRG ngl

I’m not bothered by them but like 3 times now I’ve gotten weird comments about how to run the dungeon from people who go on to die from every mechanic

I assume this is only because drg is a commonly played job though

[tepid briar]

probably biggest thing is compatibility check cause ult progging is grueling mentally

I wouldn't want someone with a pink parse who's passive aggressive

[modern raven]

It’s ffxiv I’m sure it’s not the job that makes folks strange lol

[deep gale]

Not to be like a giga elitist but if you are getting greens across the board in BiS something is going super wrong and that would be a large red flag for me personally

[deep gale]

Yeah you're basically trapping yourself in a room with them for a hundred hours lmao

show up to statics with this to confuse people

[random needle]

Even better: have 99 in Heph p2, but 6 in Heph p1

[deep gale]

Saving this tech for the next tier I play

I don't think I ever went into Heph p2 again after getting weapon lmao

[craggy marsh]

That was me with P4s

Got my weapon on my 2nd clear and never touched it again

[deep gale]

I'm looking at my logs and I gotta have a p2 mental block or something going on here jesus

That or by the time I'm there / done I just don't care lmao

[random needle]

I'm liking p4sp2 quite a bit more than p1, but I think Pinax just really pisses me off

[deep gale]

p1-4 was my first savage tier so I have a big soft spot for p4p2

Man I love that fight

[random needle]

I think we have a chance of clearing this Friday maybe, we saw Curtain Call and have solves for act 1-finale

(though our act 3 solution is... quite silly apparently)

We have fixed positions for the towers like
R1 H2
M1 OT
MT M2
H1 R2
Whichever tank isn't taking the first set of towers baits the jump, onto the spot where their tower will eventually be. The other LP takes their towers on their side, while the LP close to the boss has the melee, healer, and tank bait the earthshakers. Everyone KBIs the knockback, then the boss jumps to the opposite tank and that LP does the earthshaker bait

[tepid briar]

I'll take it

idk how I'm gonna improve m12s p1, maybe it's a gear thing

I'm only 785

[tough gorge]

this late yeah it's a gear thing

still good tho

[thin tartan]

My median

For top

Climbing

Is now at 56

Hey so wheres top

[zealous meteor]

gone forever

[deep gale]

its at the bottom

[flint nymph]

wait, how much gear have they made available for the Armoire??

this is just dungeon gear 👀

[worn bluff]

i started reading here and thought you were talking about M12S

i was like... wtf are you talking about

[rapid whale]

i forget what patch it ends on but iirc all dungeon gear can go in

i think like 3.0 and beyond or something

[flint nymph]

WHAT

[rapid whale]

i forgor

[flint nymph]

wtf??

that's awesome

[rapid whale]

one step closer to 'if you owned it you can glam it'

[loud nymph]

I think it's only 7.x gear in the armoire

[rapid whale]

oh is it

[flint nymph]

ahh okay

[rapid whale]

my fault for spreading misinfo

[loud nymph]

But anything from 3.x or beyond has outfit glamours available

[flint nymph]

good lord this frees up so much space in my glam dresser wtf

[loud nymph]

yeah

also every single af set goes into the armoire now

every single one

[flint nymph]

yus i was doing that and realised it was letting me put those in too

[loud nymph]

I think you can even put the idealized sets from SHB and the augmented sets from ARR in there too

[flint nymph]

omg

[loud nymph]

and the anemos ones from SB

[flint nymph]

now i need a plogon that tells me everything in my glam dresser that can go in there

anyway next up, more glam plates? plz? plz???? 🥺

[jolly flume]

how dare you

elitist sweatlord

a clear is a clear

[kind elm]

obama trying to prog dsr: let me get clear

[jolly flume]

hey uhhhh

lemme get a clear

[deep gale]

im just saying maybe it's because I'm in forever healer jail but I do not understand being perma green

[jolly flume]

healers are easier than the rest to parse remotely well on but universally you 75+ just by rolling your gcd

gear held constant and all that jazz

[kind elm]

i dont roll my gcd i drag it

[deep gale]

I parsed purple on mch in uwu I think that means I'm an expert on dpsing

[jolly flume]

goat shit

[deep gale]

guns are in my blood what can I say

classic

[tepid briar]

there's a glam plate plogon... right? or is that something else

[loud nymph]

[rapid whale]

holy shit

[kind elm]

who would win:

weapon of mass destruction bent on destroying humans
bugehr

[rapid whale]

i fell asleep doing alliance roulette and was holding W on the long bridge to last boss (jeuno) and accidentally pulled while there was a cs

i feel so bad

[deep gale]

guilty gear story mode when it has some crazy ideas but it looks like it was animated over the course of a weekend

[hot rose]

What is awktrail? In the context of raiding

I was in an awktrail party yesterday but idk how that name originated and what it exactly means lol

[loud nymph]

it's a Google doc/guide thingy that is for doing stuff synced and beyond minimum ilvl

[hot rose]

I figured

[loud nymph]

so instead of just going in at MiNE you unequip certain pieces of gear to better simulate being at the right ilvl since potency creep destroys fights over time even at MiNE

[rapid whale]

ye full kit but similar ™ power level as on patch

[hot rose]

Is it one whole google doc for multiple fights

[rapid whale]

its done by tiers

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1HjZB9wSokd5yZGgNwRlV4bbfCr3cXQLD5SMdArF0iS4/edit?gid=1997354076#gid=1997354076

[loud nymph]

I have no idea where the name comes from though

[hot rose]

Omg thaaaanks

[rapid whale]

pct/vpr are cursed af but ye

i had to do potd just to trial as a picto sigh

[stray forge]

What does this even mean

Isn’t potd free as picto

BAPPLE

[deep gale]

you have to get enough of the potd currency thing to buy the weapon

Not hard but takes a little while

[stray forge]

That literally takes no time at all

[flint nymph]

nah i was like hoping for a plugin that'd search your glam dresser and go "this list of items can go in the armoire 😎"

[stray forge]

You get 10 aetherwell per 10 floors now

[deep gale]

wtf back in my day

[rapid whale]

the point is i dont want to do that dogshit content

but i had to

[loud nymph]

you trialed for a static by doing potd?!

wait I am so confused

[deep gale]

literacy is dead

[stray forge]

But I don’t understand

[rapid whale]

awktrail for picto/viper requires the potd weapon

[stray forge]

Why did they make you do that to trial for a static

[loud nymph]

oh, I never actually opened the Google doc

[stray forge]

wtf

[loud nymph]

so I did not know that crucial piece of information

[zealous meteor]

you can literally just do it as another job and turn in the weapon tokens for PCT/VPR

[stray forge]

The new jobs have an easier time

Because they have really high potencies and you spam 1 button

Kek

[zealous meteor]

isn't MCH still king for potd though

[deep gale]

who up in the function with a potd weapon and nothing else

[zealous meteor]

because it's a phys ranged that doesn't rely on buffs

[stray forge]

Picto specifically just hammer spams past floor 50

[stray forge]

It’s safer on picto since you can just use hammers for every pull

And things fall over to that lol

[jolly flume]

you have to not suck though

pct so squishy

mostly a boss problem

bc you can just annihilate any mob

with hammers and your mog saved

well boss problem = 190 problem

[stray forge]

Yeah 190 boss

[jolly flume]

the rest are pretty free still

but having 1-2k less hp than the other squishies does not a fun time make

on godfather

[zealous meteor]

im see

[rapid whale]

haha yeah now

[stray forge]

🙂

[tall field]

NA cheese is sso rng

I cleared p8

after like 10 tries to pray dps gets NA

[amber fable]

Or just do it properly

Dunno why cant players do 1 mech

Its literally stand at 1 place and thats it

Mech done

[tall field]

true but pf is pf

[tall field]

For NA Ice

Tanks just stay S?

Sorry NA Fire i mean

[sick dirge]

[sinful brook]

Lmao why is this the pf solution

Old na was fine

[sick dirge]

great question

[sinful brook]

1 tile was fine too

But ig this removes a lot more personal responsibility

[amber fable]

Uhh what the fuck is that

[tall field]

Yea so basically

[sinful brook]

It does solve it due to unsync

[tall field]

If tanks are NA
Wipe
IF NOT NA
THen that

we didnt do that though

[amber fable]

Bruh

Just learn mech

Its simple

[tall field]

We just used invulns

And yoloed

[clear plume]

My question is what’s the upside of this

[amber fable]

None

[clear plume]

If it’s to get clear flag to enter top

[amber fable]

Beside wasting time

Over rng

[clear plume]

I have bad news about your chance of doing top

[sinful brook]

The upside is if you roll right only 4 people have to do something lol

The downside is the whole thing

[amber fable]

Good thing I got everything I needed from p8s

[tall field]

I got the mount ye

[amber fable]

Dont have to deal with dumbass solutions

[tall field]

we can do NA normally

but then

well

convince 6 dps to do

[sick dirge]

i have the mount but i also want some weapons. but i really dont wanna resort to some stupid cheese strat thats popular for some reason

[amber fable]

Maybe they should wait till 8.0 3rd raid tier

So they can skip na

Completely

[sinful brook]

Isn't it the p1 Strat to wall if it's snake first too lol

[tall field]

na not needed

[amber fable]

What

[tall field]

u can yolo snakes

[sick dirge]

LOL

[amber fable]

Really?

[tall field]

Yea

I got petrified

A lot

Boss was at 57% HP

just dont mess up flameviper

[amber fable]

Well snake 1 dont matter much

[sick dirge]

snake prio so scary guys 🥹

[amber fable]

At most you get whole party dd

[tall field]

And no one does the toxic mechanic

[amber fable]

And boss dies before dog 1

[tall field]

On snake

Everyone dropping puddle wherever

I never got puddle though

Always petrify gang

But yea we did random nonsense to snake 1

and made it to p2

Dog1 was funnier

Since KB means

I see 6 dead

nvm wipe

[sinful brook]

Forgot that we got an extra tier of gear since I last saw what people were doing for p8s

[amber fable]

I did it early dt

[tall field]

One did p8 for top unlock yea

[amber fable]

And we saw uhh snake and dog 1

But that about it

[clear plume]

How r 6 people dying to dog 1 tho you literally just stand centerish

[amber fable]

Not doing mech

[tall field]

people have to know

[amber fable]

I dont expect people to know mech now

Well..dont have to

[tall field]

we made it to p2 when he did snakes

[amber fable]

P1 is free enough

[tall field]

since yea

[tall field]

as long as 3 4 people live

you can make it to p2

the most i saw in p1 was

volcanic torches 2

[wicked delta]

considering i parsed a straight 0 my first kill ill take it lol

[sinful brook]

What about a gay 0

[wicked delta]

tyrant is homophobic he would never give me a gay 0

[sinful brook]

Real

[wicked delta]

[amber fable]

Dies from cardiac arrest

[sick dirge]

or just use kb immunity lmfao

[wicked delta]

how

[rapid whale]

glhf

[tulip wraith]

i believe

youre in p2 now right?

[daring pine]

yeah he is

looks like uuh..rep 2?

[loud nymph]

get that clear mofo

u can do it

rep 2 is ez

superchain is free

idyllic is simmable

you got this

[wicked delta]

https://tenor.com/view/lebron-james-basketball-nba-gif-25800655

feeling like this

Locked IN

[tulip wraith]

are you doing dn or banana

[loud nymph]

I think pf mostly does BC now

but DN rep 1 for

some reason

[tulip wraith]

my static only does DN so i got no clue how BC works :3

[loud nymph]

you just swap the cones and stacks

[tulip wraith]

o

[loud nymph]

and then have static spots for near/far

so it mostly resolves itself

[tulip wraith]

[loud nymph]

it's p easy but then again DN is p easy too

[tulip wraith]

resolving near and far is like my worst part of p2

[rapid whale]

thats why bc got popular

[tulip wraith]

i never get it and i never bother to remember good spacing

[rapid whale]

because it;s coimpletely static spots for those

[tulip wraith]

interdasting

[loud nymph]

yeah I think that's the one advantage BC has, your stack players go sw/se inside the hitbox and the cone players just go outside the hitbox near the clones relative E/W

and near/far resolves automatically

as long as the defam players aren't too far in/out or anything

have seen someone creep too far in and bait a netherwrath near onto the defams

[daring pine]

my static does bc but dn for idyllic

🤔

i mean it works

[loud nymph]

I think everyone does dn uptime for idyllic

[rapid whale]

yeah

bc is for rep2

[loud nymph]

Yeah

[daring pine]

makes sense

[loud nymph]

DN rep 1 (even though CR is easier imo), bc rep 2, and DN uptime idyllic is the way pf usually rolls

[daring pine]

if i somehow don't clear this week can elounge rescue me

🤔

i say somehow because

[loud nymph]

I can rescue for a book run after static reclear on Saturday, we are still farming weapons for people to do ult

[daring pine]

maybe i will be better off once im staticless

i remember one night it genuinely took us an hour to see p2

[loud nymph]

jeez

[daring pine]

yes

[loud nymph]

an hour to see p2 when p1 is like the easiest shit ever

woof

[daring pine]

man don't ask me what happened

i don't even know

i'm worried about how fast we're gonna reclear 11 and then see p2

(tonight)

[loud nymph]

I think people get complacent and don't think they have to respect the mechs in p1

[daring pine]

and then even if we do get those done quickly

[loud nymph]

then they don't mit fixer or curtain call

[daring pine]

like, how many times will we actually see enrage again

[loud nymph]

and people explode

[daring pine]

things to think about

[daring pine]

i think our sage is stupid sometimes

[rapid whale]

either that or their conscious mind is occupied thinking about a mech in p2 like idyllic and then they just lose focus

[daring pine]

i don't think she doesn't respect mechs

i think she just forgets to mit sometimes

and then like two people die

[loud nymph]

also very possible

[daring pine]

meanwhile i'm staring at my monitor trying to not pop a blood vessel because i died like 1 second after i pressed manafication

[daring pine]

i kinda just stopped thinking so hard after seeing it enough times

"oh my tether is there so i go here"
"oh that's the safe spot for later"
"oh that's my tower"

[loud nymph]

honestly idyllic still fucks me up sometimes because my brain just hard reboots after towers

so the number of times I've wandered into the earth tower explosion

[daring pine]

i walked out and then back into earth tower explosion its ok

[rapid whale]

ah yeah earth tower is you either stand dead center of arena or directly e/w inside boss hit box

[daring pine]

i genuinely have no idea why i did that

[loud nymph]

well I'm m2 so I'm partnered with ot

and if we have to swap and OT is the one with earth tower

[rapid whale]

0 % chance to ever get hit if u do that

[daring pine]

im r2

[loud nymph]

naturally my brain tries to restore my initial spot

which ofc is where ot just placed earth

[daring pine]

kinger are you not a cute little dancer like you were in cw

[loud nymph]

no I'm NIN

I was in phys ranged jail for one tier

[daring pine]

when are we getting cute little dancer kinger again

[loud nymph]

I mean I'd have to farm shit from 10

and

[daring pine]

ew

[loud nymph]

idc that much 🙁

[daring pine]

you'll NEVER guess what job i'm playing

🔥

[loud nymph]

well you said manafication so clearly BLM

[daring pine]

FUCK

[loud nymph]

[daring pine]

this guy's good

[brisk scarab]

blm best class

[loud nymph]

(in spite of the low personal dps and taking Ls during m7s I actually did enjoy DNC last tier)

[daring pine]

last tier made me a jolly individual

so happy

haha

hahaha

[loud nymph]

it's nice to just kinda vibe in between bursts sorta like NIN

but instead of 124123123124 it's just

121212121212

[daring pine]

i love sweating my balls off during burst just to do the same damage as a prange

[rapid whale]

smn?

[daring pine]

sorry i nearly vomited

[rapid whale]

im so ready for 111 222 333

instead of 123 123 123
