its gonna be so based bo

it'll be more like

evolved rdm but it has no raise

111111 2 111111 3 111111 2 5!!!! 1111111

loud nymph
#

yeah I don't expect evolved to be a huge drastic change in complexity

#

probably faster though

#

and maybe that'll be more engaging

#

I am, however, extremely ready for the complete and utter death of rdps, adps, cdps, etc

amber fable
#

So just dps

tough gorge
#

total caster rez death

deep gale
#

astro but with six damage cards please thanks (square would never)

amber fable
#

Range tax will be lower atleast

#

And less caster discrepancy

valid solar
#

if you replace 1 with e and 2 with q its the gigachad ryze combo from LoL

#

sorry im brain damaged

loud nymph
#

it's like the old hybrid tax in WoW

#

that sucked back in 2010

#

and blizzard wisely moved away from it

jolly flume
#

I just don't want evolved

#

to be buttonmashslop

#

I like FF combat for being slower and more methodical, the issue with it was really just that for it being slower they didn't give you anything to think about

uncut pebble
#

the dev putting a full uptime mechanic (no thinking) into the two minute burst for the 8th time in a row

jolly flume
#

bring back superchain 1 WiltedGulp

loud nymph
#

I miss having to think about when I could use tcj

jolly flume
#

right

#

people call it QOL but I think that conflates easy with good too much

#

that's the kind of thing you have to plan around

loud nymph
#

I enjoyed having to plan around it in mechanics that overlap with 2s

#

Superchain 1 or ion cluster for example

valid solar
#

oh right, I forgot TCJ used to force you to take your hands off wasd for 3 gcds

uncut pebble
jolly flume
#

qol would've been like, .25s window at the start of tcj where moving doesn't cancel it because you held W for a fraction of a second too long

uncut pebble
#

chain lighting was interesting too

jolly flume
#

that I could get behind

loud nymph
raven prawn
#

is there a calculator i can use to see how much all my bis tome gear will cost? ive yet to have access to dt tomes lol

loud nymph
#

Chain lightning was another good example

jolly flume
#

the calculator is called simple math

raven prawn
jolly flume
#

375 accessory, 495 helmet gloves boots, 875 chest pants

rapid whale
#

looks like this

#

idk if this is the route you're tryna walk down tho

loud nymph
#

You don't want to buy all tome gear anyway

#

That's a complete waste of your time

jolly flume
#

unless you don't do savage and you are abnormally broke

#

smile

raven prawn
loud nymph
#

IIRC from conversation earlier, they are looking to get into Savage

jolly flume
#

o

#

then yea definitely not

loud nymph
#

Just get the slots you need for your BIS, the rest can be normal raid or crafted until you get the stuff from Savage

jolly flume
#

you'll probably have raid replacements for a few pieces by the time you can even get enough tomes to buy a full set

rapid whale
#

most of the job pages on the balance will ahve a recommended order to buy tome stuff with eg chest -> boots -> etc

jolly flume
#

it's a very nontrivial amount, probably ten weeks or more

uncut pebble
#

so there's that too

raven prawn
loud nymph
uncut pebble
jolly flume
#

it was 0 5 10 pot for any half decent group

loud nymph
#

I seem to remember potting at the transition

jolly flume
#

12 was post sunrise

raven prawn
#

im literally basing everything off what i see on the balance

shy obsidian
#

sooo what's the unmaking like

loud nymph
#

easy

clear plume
#

I liked 0/6/11 better personally for my pf groups

#

Killing early 11m was in the tier of parse is ruined anyways so who cares, line up for if it’s messy I can get full usage if I only get 2 oh well

rapid whale
#

was 11m skiprise?

clear plume
#

It was yeah, chain lightning ends at 11:45ish

#

10:45*

uncut pebble
clear plume
#

Sunrise is 11:30 yeah

rapid whale
#

ah yea

#

so dies like right as the pot window ends

#

erm

#

it dies right as sunrise begin

clear plume
#

Well, pot at 10:50

#

Always pot before your window not after them as a default and all that

worn bluff
#

i liked 0 5 10 there on RPR just because the platform break timing made the 4 min burst awkward enough that you could push stuff into a strong 5 min

tepid briar
#

was gonna get a 66 with another clear but people decided to die and we enraged at 0.9% 😔

#

92% uptime 90% dia so is gonna be hard to improve from here

@jolly flume bro

#

dont ask me what happened

wicked delta
#

Well just gonna take a guess and say 3 pld deaths didn’t help

random needle
#

Also two DNC deaths

daring pine
#

and 2 sge deaths

trim epoch
#

What does the triangle above someone mean

random needle
#

You'll need to be a bit more specific

trim epoch
rapid whale
#

In general, it's called "danger dorito" and is used as a "follow me" for mechanics that might be tough to follow without prior knowledge

trim epoch
#

Oh

random needle
#

There's a few signs that can be placed on party members or enemies that are similar

tulip wraith
#

its a player placed marker to be more specific

random needle
#

Generally, the yellow hexagons are "kill this first" and the 🚫 are "ignore this"

#

As previously established, the triangle is "follow me to not die". The other ones are a bit less commonly used

trim epoch
#

I probably shoulda thought of that during the immortal remains boss

zealous meteor
#

sometimes the healers are marked with the yellow 1 and 2, so you know which one you gotta go to for mechanics that require splitting into two groups of four players (as those often target the healers, so you stack up with them)

random needle
#

Well now you know

zealous meteor
#

in casual content though, the yellow ones are basically always used for kill order

trim epoch
#

I forget that it’s supposed to be teamwork

#

And not a one man army that can tank

#

Bruh these stupid hiccups

trim epoch
trim epoch
#

Also it feels like i’m not tanking efficiently

#

Like, even without vuln stacks, I still get hurt a lot

#

My gear is fine

random needle
#

I mean, to an extent, of course you're going to get roughed up more than everyone else, since you're taking autos and tankbusters and such

#

Just remember, mitigation is free

#

(were you on GNB? Or was it another tank)

trim epoch
#

Warriorp

random needle
#

Then you got these (though you have Damnation instead of Vengeance at the very bottom, but they're basically the same thing)

#

Bloodwhetting is extremely useful in enemy trash, and it's on a very short cooldown so you can use it often

#

Reprisal and Arm's Length are also very handy, gimping every enemy's damage output and attack speed. In bosses, reprisal is useful for mitigating raidwides, and Arm's Length is just for nullifying knockbacks

#

Shake It Off is also for mitting raidwide stuff, since it gives everyone in the party some protection. Be warned: don't use it while other mits (mainly bloodwhetting and damnation) are rolling, it removes them for marginally bigger shields that do not offset the loss of mit

Talking to some non ff14 friends and one of the reasons why they stopped playing was because the button presses made their hand hurt

#

Evolved jobs can’t come any sooner

pale gale
#

Aside from being grey from ultimate

sleek moon
#

the frequency of button presses or the number of buttons?

pale gale
#

That would give them carpal tunnel

I’m guessing both

#

I did tell them that they were actually fixing that issue tho lol

tepid briar

wtf is this scholar in p1 😭

#

legit feels like I have to overheal my ass as white mage

#

feels like no mits at all on anything

tank dies in second mortal and everyone explodes because no mit on mortal and we're all at like 5%

no mits on splatter either

I want Koji fox to look me in the eyes and try to say with a straight face that OST release have a different mix that brings out the lyrics more

#

in the balance I can't hear Shit

proper cave
#

Fiend has three different vocal tracks, albeit with only a line or two that have a minor difference.

#

In trial, music scroll, and OST are all very slightly different

lyric summit
#

there's no shot they did it for this new release

#

the lyrics are so quiet

thin fox
#

get that bs out of here

#

anyone cockwatching my gear enough to tell the diff shld just be blacklisted anyway

proper cave
# lyric summit the lyrics are so quiet

Mmm it is a little different on the EP version. On headphones I can still hear them but there is a difference. Although I haven't played this in my car yet. That would be the real test.

tall field
#

Now only unsynced raid to do is p12s

#

Will do it later

thin fox
#

i have no conception of endwalker how fast does pandae die now

tall field
#

Idk

#

P12S before sc2 or

#

Before dashes surely

sonic helm
tall field
#

Since it was quite low back in ew with echo

#

Before she did LC dashes

thin fox
#

Im curious when p8 dies given that half the fight required a double damage buff

tall field
#

If 2T 6 DpS

#

Na

thin fox
#

oh like during na1?

tall field
#

And you can disrespect snake 1

thin fox
#

thats fine then

tall field
#

Yea

thin fox
#

so yea doesnt even do anything really

tall field
#

Some people want na cheese

#

But yea if doing NA normally

thin fox
#

the NA strat is hope the two people who know the mechanic get NA

tall field
#

Cos gotta do fire/ice baits

thin fox
#

oh wait

#

no

#

hope the people who dont know NA get NA

tall field
#

Yea NA has it easy in stack and spread

#

The worst is spread-> stack

#

Imo

#

Stack-> spread is so much more easier ngl

thin fox
#

when the fight was current you just kind of hoped the dumb people got it

tall field
#

Ig cos

#

First part NA does nothing

#

Just dodge cleave

#

But if they fail to dodge cleave gg

thin fox
#

at the time NA used a kind of role prio that involved a melee flex

#

so basically for some reason we gave melee a job

#

worst mistake

tall field
#

Ice fire baits iirc

#

If not melees are NAs

#

Or tank/ healers are NAs

#

Then yea melees gotta adjust

thin fox
#

it has been 3 years since I did p8s so I could not tell you the actual strat

tall field
#

But in my pf

#

Tanks NA= wipe

#

Not tank NA= let tanks take all the baits

#

With invuln

trim frost

people in p8s unsync parties still can't do it lol

!faq parsevsperformance

storm frostBOT
#
Why are parses not a great indicator of performance?

While parses are somewhat correlated with performance, they are absolutely not a direct indicator of how well you played. In some cases, getting a high parse requires behaviour that is the opposite of what you should do to clear a fight consistently.

Amongst other things, parses are greatly affected by:

  • The killtime of the boss (i.e. did it die just after burst?)
  • Your gear (if you don't have BiS, you will be at a disadvantage)

Instead of focusing on improving your parse, you should focus on improving your performance, which, importantly, is not the same thing. A big part of playing well in FFXIV is having strong fundamentals, such as maintaining uptime, not overcapping gauge, etc.

https://xivanalysis.com/ is a fantastic resource for self-improvement, and your job's resources and questions channels can be a great place to ask about how to improve.

Thats when basics are not done

What will you do if u see a warrior just doing 1 2 3 in an expert roul

No...anything

Just 1 2 3
i dont main warrior so its ok, also casual content

#

Tier

pale urchin
tall field
#

Those kinda things ibe seen in tfdfpaissaowo

pale urchin
#

And I thought "I don't know where to get gears" was bad enough

#

When someone does a Lv70 dungeon with a lv10-lv50 mix gear

rapid whale
#

the thing with parses is

#

it's a p awful metric to tell if a player is truly good

#

but

#

it's much more accurate at telling if a player is failing job fundamentals

#

perma gray is absolutely "you're doing something wrong" territory, assuming full bis

versed kayak
lyric summit
#

they need to make a parsing tool that detects who's responsible for a wipe and make that a metric

versed kayak
#

for old ultimates anyway, for current stuff it could also just be a gear thing if they're late

lyric summit
#

maybe a plogon that pops up on wipe asking you to vote for who's responsible

trim frost
#

are there any raids with fall damage in them

#

falling off the arena doesn't count

versed kayak
#

don't think so

#

none of the ones I've done at least

lyric summit
#

byakko BorpaSpin

#

althyk when you don't stand in the heavy and he throws you

#

its probably not actual fall damage tho

#

doubt any raid has the topology to allow it

#

maybe in first walk after the dragon there's a section where you go up some stairs and its like a bridge with earlier section of the path below, maybe you can fall there

#

or somewhere in a3n cause it has a staircase

loud nymph
#

did tanks take fall damage after getting stepped on in p10s

#

no, right?

versed kayak
#

I guess the dragon whirl winds in jeuno give you scripted fall damage if you get thrown up

#

same for prishe, but those hardly count

amber fable
#

It was tb damage

#

Fall was just for position

#

I dont think any raid does actual fall damage

#

And if you get shot up in air

#

Its the mech which is damaging you

tall field
#

Nier?

#

Big mech bonking u way up

#

Into another platform

amber fable
#

I dont remember fall damage in nier

tall field
#

P10S yea doesnt

#

You just die/land safely

amber fable
#

Fall damage is % max hp based damage

tall field
#

Maybe 8.0 may have it lets see

#

So pure healers have their moment

amber fable
#

I dont see it still

#

Unless game does actual vertical things and its absolutely garbage at it too

#

Doind windurst final boss and having to tab target everytime you have to jump

#

Cuz locking target is too hard

#

Fuck that shit

tall field
#

I hate that too

#

Does auto target nearest help?

amber fable
#

Idk

#

Maybe

tall field
#

And the mech isnt even interesting

amber fable
#

I did it like 2 times only

tall field
#

Even e7 NORMAL was more fun than whatevee the AR did

#

Since it swapped on the fly and u had to calculate quick

#

Where to go

#

And then p2 starts
Me: so we have 1 good mechanic in towers

#

Thennnn

#

Oh nvm thaelia boss fight

rapid whale
#

shruge

#

in my mind alliance raids were more about the spectacle

#

something to go wow cool rather than maybe you go hmm how do i resolve this

#

and in that regard i thikn they delivered

#

like that first time we see 129831239723 leylines

boreal pumice
amber fable
#

Overall it was not as good as jueno

#

But it aint thaleia either

#

That shit was pure zzzzz

#

Ark angel is still the highlight for me this expac for ally raids

#

They should have done more of it

rapid whale
#

promathia was cool af visually

boreal pumice
#

Fun fact the promathia stage was in dissida 012 good map

amber fable
#

Shadowlord bgm was also better

boreal pumice
dapper zealot
#

yeah jeuno was the most mechanically interesting and overall fun

#

I'd rate the raids in the same order as they already are

fierce matrix
#

Last one is a great spectacle

#

Atleast EW alliance raids did some pretty cool arena stuff

#

Though it was boring I atleast remember the stuff from it

zealous meteor
#

> what is my purpose?
< hype moments and aura

boreal pumice

last one will be rembered more because they hated losing the roll for cackle and dont wanna pay

And her fight is so sleeper

#

Such a shame

#

kyuuchan_lost did we do the same shantotto fight

#

tbf they needed a name for her because we already had shantotto in 14 from her event and shes a card

#

Its just in with an out at the ebd

rapid whale
#

shantotto reverse engineered the spell for fun to go back and forth

amber fable
#

Shantotto mechanically was snooze

fierce matrix
#

And then the walls give you 10 minutes to resolve

amber fable
#

She had some decent mech

fierce matrix
#

And then the KB can juat be KBIed

amber fable
#

But overall not good

rapid whale
#

she is supposed to be -the- blm of the entire franchise but the fight was very meh

wicked delta

Shantotto was the only fight in that AR that I struggled with in a serious capacity

90% of us did not expect the giant laser to rotate

craggy marsh

Ya

boreal pumice
#

not really alex was quite easy to understand , it had like the halone direction but soon as you see it move then your moving and the mechs avoided

wicked delta

The laser rotating wasn’t what got me first time

#

I wasn’t expecting a donut to appear

#

So I was safe

#

Got hit by that

#

Then ran into the laser like a dumbass

i remember dying to the cross aoe + spinny

Okay I cant deny it has hype and aura but there’s nothing else besides that

idk its probably my nostalgia but hearing the opening theme to 11 done in a giga hype way

Cause 2nd boss has random spawns and like 5 of them

#

And 3rd boss hits like a fucking truck and requires mit

Current AR i thought promethia would be cool

#

Wow alliance specific platf.... oh just like 2 mechanics per platform?

Really? Ok

promathia is the best boss in windurst

You don’t need that much mit anymore but you still gotta press a lil smth

#

And ofc tankbuster KBs

#

Non war tanks have to care

#

That boss screws your 2min burst though

#

Which is dejecting ngl

dapper zealot
#

The second floor with 2 elemental aoes plus targetted/alternating aoes is a killer

tall field
#

Windurst was... yea a downgrade
First boss is probably the 2nd best behind promethia

#

Alexander was

#

So traditional🥲

#

Like the dont hit shield was unique about it

dapper zealot
#

Think I would put Vanadiel just slightly ahead of ivalice

Too hard to beat

yeah individually I'd put orboonne just ahead of jueno

M7S PF was dead af week 1 because of M6S

The dps was so tight I actively avoided people that played ninja

Because why tf would I want to party with a ninja when I could party with a viper instead

that fight so fun I would not mind be stuck on it

Idk wasn’t that hard when cleavemaxx strat came out

It took a little while for cleavemaxxing to come out

Well not really

Yea

It did

wicked delta

Its just that viper was better

Lol

visual geyser
#

But viper was also a lot better

craggy marsh
#

Viper was the better option yeah

#

Like a lot better

wicked delta
#

Its kind of like pre nerf picto, there was no reason to not take it

#

Viper excelled at cleave damage

#

And M6S had an adds phase

visual geyser
#

Yea they had to nerf it lol

craggy marsh
#

Ngl thats why I liked M6 bc some jobs you took for that fight specifically

wicked delta
#

Automatically means that viper will reign supreme there

craggy marsh
#

PLD was amazing in m6 too

#

Bc they could have the Yan

#

And still get the adds

visual geyser
#

Yea because they could range attack

wicked delta
#

WAR got to shine in M6S as well

Having your WAR OT in M6S was an active troll

When did they change tcj

craggy marsh
#

7.1 I think

visual geyser
#

I think it was before raid

wicked delta
#

I think Inane would know

visual geyser
#

But ninja’s aoe kinda sucks because you need things in Doton

And things in that phase would move around

ohhhh

Oh he said ultimate

anyway yeah, it shows up in PF, but chances are nobody is running it right now, as the new ultimate is out in a few weeks

Can’t read p:

wicked delta

Everyone is practicing for Kefka right now

No the the ultimate one I wanna do it I was looking all day yesterday, maybe primal server is dead

At most you’ll see totem parties

Aka people who have already cleared

Prog parties at this point is rare shit

zealous meteor

Oh yea primal is dead but still not popular rn

ucob is generally the least popular

at least on EU

Is it fine to go into the level 70 ultimate raids with my 100 gear?

yea, though there is a "lazy bis" that will max specific sub stats that are usually very easily obtained

how did i never knew about this

rapid whale

idk if theres much of a use case for it tbf

versed kayak

maybe to then auto translate it

but in most cases where I need to auto translate a skill, its because I'm telling someone else what to use

so I wont be on the job they are (most likely)

atlFeintatratlDo you have it?atr

rapid whale

yea you just type the skill name and hit tab

there's no real reason to use it because skills are in the AT dictionary

i think its useful if you cant spell it or smth LMAO

#

i can see usecase in JP like the linked tweet

#

btw it doesnt update with trait upgrades 😭

#

i dont think SE even remembers its a thing either

versed kayak
#

lol

#

they definitely forgot that exists

rapid whale
#

its just such a rarely used feature im not surprised lol

random needle
# odd beacon

... Hmm. Maybe that's because the game has Bloodletter/Heavy Shot as the actual entries saved to the hotbar, but then automatically converts them to the upgraded actions when you use them, but that's not being read by this feature

odd beacon
#

rarely known morelike

random needle
#

That is, if you put Bloodletter and Heartbreak shot on your bar separately (noting that the former will appear upgraded on the bar itself), would it still show both as Bloodletter or would it show one as BL and the other as Heartbreak?

Syncing Gear For Ultimates

Sufficiently high item-level gear can cap both substats when synced down. Similarly, relics with customizable stats can have substats allocated so that fewer substats are lost to the sync (see !faq ilvlsync for more info on how gear syncing works). At the bottom of this FAQ is a table of required item level to cap both stats (used for most gear slots), along with the stat caps for weapons (relevant for relic stat allocation) and the minimum potion grade needed to cap (where applicable).

https://xivgear.app supports item level sync. You can choose the character and item levels when creating a sheet. You can also use the classic calculator https://bit.ly/XIVGearSyncCalc.

versed kayak
#

just use any gear above i500

#

They're so powercrept you dont need BiS

rapid whale
#

sub stats can be a little funky, especially for specific skill speeds, but p often it's better to just go raw crit focus

versed kayak
#

UWU is so bad that too much damage is actively detrimental

rapid whale
#

yeah

odd beacon
#

99% of cases its fine just using whatevers your current gear

rapid whale
#

"killing too fast" is unironically a thing in uwu

versed kayak
#

If you need specific gcd speed you could probably just swap some pieces to get skill speed and see how it syncs?

odd beacon
#

this game is actively hostile against keeping a lot of ulti gearsets

rapid whale
#

basically, since your gear is already over ilvl 500, it's most likely fine

#

if you want to hyper min/max you can look up the specific stat spreads like dh/det/etc but realistically doesnt actually matter

flat axle
odd beacon
#

they didn't really think of players doing significantly more damage than back when it was current

#

job action changes etc

flat axle
rapid whale
#

i dont know the specifics and that level of opti is usually hyper specific

#

as an example (totally made up) say like 2.37s might get you an extra gcd before a boss phases away etc

odd beacon
#

I'm on the boat of

rapid whale
#

which might gain you an extra cartridge to spend

odd beacon
#

If you have to ask the question it probably doesn't matter for you

rapid whale
#

stuff likethat

#

like in FRU 2.5 gnb had to do an AOE combo to build a cartridge 1 gcd faster

odd beacon
#

esp UWU

rapid whale
#

but i think? 2.4, or 2.45? could get that same cartridge without having to uise the AOE combo

#

but yea like endmin said

#

that kinda stuff is so so specific it's for people chasing rank 1

random needle
#

For a fight like uwu, where the damage check is basically nonexistent now, the much more important thing is making sure to have mechanics down pat

The mechanics are still pretty simple for an ultimate, but mistakes will still fuck you and your party up bad

odd beacon
#

ultima phase mistakes actually costs you clears so yea

#

even though its pretty simple in comparison to 2026 fights

rapid whale
#

yeah tldr gear is never going to be the reason you actually lose

wicked delta
#

UWU wipes are mostly caused by people being overconfident and dumb in what ive seen

rapid whale
#

it's always either a) failing mech or b) failing rotation

#

i have 1 (one) singular savage log on dnc fear me

random needle

My only current Savage logs are for BLM and RDM

#

... Now that I think about it, how hard would it be to start Picto-ing in savage? m11 is pretty merciful about only doing bursts when no other mechanics are happening

odd beacon
#

m12 is a little annoying if you drift your lawn

#

esp act 3

#

everything else is fine

#

slaughtershed might be annoying if you roll a bad mech

rapid whale
#

slaughter isnt bad if you always kbi the 2nd set

#

you swift the hammer motif when getting knocked around by the 1st set

flat axle
#

I wanted to play tank but I am being drawn to castors now😩 and I already spent a ton on tank gear

flat axle
#

I guess I can start farming it now that I unlock the current raids and alliance

rapid whale
#

i mean if you dont have the money you cant play caster so wat now

flat axle
#

I got the money I’m just cheap, I got like 21 mil left my real life cheapness manifest in game😂

rapid whale
#

thats a personal decision at that point

random needle
#

I mean, if you really want some basic gear to start, just hardqueue m9-12n and roll on the drops at the end so you can get normal raid gear

rapid whale
#

oh true

#

normal raids are unlocked now right

flat axle
#

Yeah

rapid whale
#

sounds kind of like a pain in the ass

flat axle
#

That’s right I can farm those for my castor gear

flat axle
rapid whale
#

you're looking at like

#

20 runs of normal for a full set

flat axle
#

Whattt

#

Dang nvm I’ll go buy it then

rapid whale
#

4 runs for acc, i think chest/leg are 3 so 6, alr at 10; 3x2? for helm/gloves/boots so 6, then 7? for weapon

#

o wait unlock means you just get everything nvm

#

much less

random needle
#

I mean, if you get lucky with drops, it could go quicker as long as no one else is rolling for them

#

And are tome weapons still 7 blades, or did it drop to 4?

flat axle
#

yeah when I did them for the first time people where rolling for them:/

rapid whale
#

just pray ig

#

run m12n until you wanna burn everything

flat axle
#

does red mage do more dmg then summn?

torn mesa
#

assuming equal skill and gear, RDM does a bit more, and also cleaves more

The castor that does the most is black mage, then Pictor, smn is last?
