it'll be more like
evolved rdm but it has no raise
111111 2 111111 3 111111 2 5!!!! 1111111
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
So just dps
astro but with six damage cards please thanks (square would never)
if you replace 1 with e and 2 with q its the gigachad ryze combo from LoL
sorry im brain damaged

I hope so, ranged tax is straight up negative fun and really outdated design
it's like the old hybrid tax in WoW
that sucked back in 2010
and blizzard wisely moved away from it
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
the dev putting a full uptime mechanic (no thinking) into the two minute burst for the 8th time in a row
bring back superchain 1 
I miss having to think about when I could use tcj
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
I enjoyed having to plan around it in mechanics that overlap with 2s
Superchain 1 or ion cluster for example
oh right, I forgot TCJ used to force you to take your hands off wasd for 3 gcds
ion cluster as in p1?
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
chain lighting was interesting too
that I could get behind
m4sp1 yeah
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
Chain lightning was another good example
the calculator is called simple math
which would work. IF i had access to them
375 accessory, 495 helmet gloves boots, 875 chest pants
i have a speadsheet but erm
looks like this
idk if this is the route you're tryna walk down tho
why im only interesting in my bis stuff, rest i can fill out till i can replace it with raid stuff
IIRC from conversation earlier, they are looking to get into Savage
Just get the slots you need for your BIS, the rest can be normal raid or crafted until you get the stuff from Savage
you'll probably have raid replacements for a few pieces by the time you can even get enough tomes to buy a full set
most of the job pages on the balance will ahve a recommended order to buy tome stuff with eg chest -> boots -> etc
it's a very nontrivial amount, probably ten weeks or more
chain lightning also coincides with a pot window, since it's around 10 minute? i don't remember specifically
so there's that too
thats what im wanting to do, why im wanting to plan out now how much its gonna cost me to get all my bis stuff whilst i grind gil for the crafted stuff i can buy to fill out the slots till said pieces can be replaced by savage gear
I don't remember when you did pots in P2, but maybe
0/5/10 or something like that
it was 0 5 10 pot for any half decent group
I seem to remember potting at the transition
12 was post sunrise
im literally basing everything off what i see on the balance
sooo what's the unmaking like
easy
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
was 11m skiprise?
ah yea
so dies like right as the pot window ends
erm
it dies right as sunrise begin
Well, pot at 10:50
Always pot before your window not after them as a default and all that
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
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
Holy shit, it's Peed Mart
did you shid and peed urself
its okay mango the gas station was scary for me too
1 pull m11 reclear..good sign
the meso terminal
I forgot bards could perform songs lol
Like the actual feature I think I have it muted because of limsa
gfdi I was psyching myself up for m11 earlier but now I'm getting the Worries again
Well just gonna take a guess and say 3 pld deaths didn’t help
Also two DNC deaths
and 2 sge deaths
What does the triangle above someone mean
You'll need to be a bit more specific
It’s a blue triangle that followed the white mage everywhere
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
Oh
There's a few signs that can be placed on party members or enemies that are similar
its a player placed marker to be more specific
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
I probably shoulda thought of that during the immortal remains boss
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)
Well now you know
in casual content though, the yellow ones are basically always used for kill order
I forget that it’s supposed to be teamwork
And not a one man army that can tank
Bruh these stupid hiccups
Will follow them next time
Also it feels like i’m not tanking efficiently
Like, even without vuln stacks, I still get hurt a lot
My gear is fine
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)
Warriorp
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
I'M FREE

GOAT
Congrats Marce!!
congrats
Poggers
highkey i fucked up my tower and got launched into the stratosphere
somehow got a green still
i'll take that
i remember hitting 0.3% enrage during prog bc the pld had a 745 weapon
oh is that p2
oh
🥀
grats tho
yes
thanks twin
(edited)
ranged wind tower is actually kinda fucky
so don't feel bad there haha
i only got it twice ever
like 99% of the time i get earth
rng is weird
when I was simming I got fire 99% of the time
in the real mechanic I never get fire
always earth or dark
I just have a picture on my second monitor
And then died to my static being in the wrong place anyways lol
I once had someone ask why I (m2) wound up on the left platform after towers and try to gaslight me into saying I was in the wrong spot for debuffs (they were fire melee and were standing mid)
I had to explain how the wind tower worked
Man
but that's a woman
true
Long live the king
Need a Melee or Fakemelee fill for UWU Beyond Limits/Pred prog, on Primal rn
had a no call no-show
Me when the king lives
not to relight the fire, but that guy literally spammed the F slur in the prox chat and insulted a guy for liking a webcomic
i saw the watashia tweet
big was so mad about being shown to be a chronically grey uwu parser
brooo yeaahh
and he was insulting in the comments
Beans
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
Whats wrong with being grey in ultimate
Aside from being grey from ultimate

the frequency of button presses or the number of buttons?
They should play gw2 elementalist
That would give them carpal tunnel

Didn’t get that deep into it
I’m guessing both
I did tell them that they were actually fixing that issue tho lol
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
at my BiS until I can clear past M10 or Enuo
I got no crafted gear on my accessories
Prolly gonna get tomes for my pants at this week
healer ring is identical to the tome ring augmented so I don't need that
I got savage gear on just the earings, rings and brace
Goddamn phone

the only savage right side for healer bis is neck lmao
I think im good with 784 ilvl
Rn
Idk if can drop the hq crafted pants for less melds
Or go straight tomes for better health
And tankiness
My fc keeps greeding the pants

I swear on god let me get the pants
then need them
Theres also the issue that the drops cant drop
You know what i mean

if they drop, then need
Get capped tome pants
It has crit ten
Good enough
Minor dps loss vs raid
Like 80 dps
Out of 26k
BUT BIUT BUT MY BARSING
What barse bro
🙏
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
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
i did this cuz i was too lazy to keep doing 11

get that bs out of here
anyone cockwatching my gear enough to tell the diff shld just be blacklisted anyway
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.
i have no conception of endwalker how fast does pandae die now
Oh my god
Im curious when p8 dies given that half the fight required a double damage buff
oh like during na1?
And you can disrespect snake 1
thats fine then
Yea
so yea doesnt even do anything really
the NA strat is hope the two people who know the mechanic get NA
Cos gotta do fire/ice baits
Yea NA has it easy in stack and spread

The worst is spread-> stack
Imo
Stack-> spread is so much more easier ngl
when the fight was current you just kind of hoped the dumb people got it
Ig cos
First part NA does nothing
Just dodge cleave
But if they fail to dodge cleave gg
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
Ice fire baits iirc
If not melees are NAs
Or tank/ healers are NAs
Then yea melees gotta adjust
it has been 3 years since I did p8s so I could not tell you the actual strat
But in my pf
Tanks NA= wipe
Not tank NA= let tanks take all the baits
With invuln
people in p8s unsync parties still can't do it lol
P8S : 2nd Phase = Still can't kill before the 1st High Concept.
Very DPS heavy check.
nowadays you can. the big thing is just doing NA right without it killing people
yup
I guess I'm not getting the good PF DPS then because HC gets casted by 10% HP remaining 
what ilvl are you setting
780, I'm gonna guess I'm just not getting good PF on the weekdays
Wait I read that wrong..I'm not making the PF so I'm not setting the ilvl
Aether PF almost all the PF I join for anything has no iLvl restrictions
i mean really it's just "can you keep uptime for 2 minutes" to skip hc
Mb
I still don't get the nature of being that obsessive to FFlogs.
!faq parsevsperformance
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.
If only people could read this
See i have a green= I am now the part of green parse group
Even if my 10 billion records are not /s
judge book by its cover syndrome players
Is that why there's a uptick of these at the Reddit DFTales
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 IR
No...anything
Just 1 2 3
i dont main warrior so its ok, also casual content
Tier

Those kinda things ibe seen in tfdf
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
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
it's obviously a bit silly asking for something you can't do yourself, but if you see someone with single digit greys and they didn't die, there's probably a problem somewhere
they need to make a parsing tool that detects who's responsible for a wipe and make that a metric
for old ultimates anyway, for current stuff it could also just be a gear thing if they're late
maybe a plogon that pops up on wipe asking you to vote for who's responsible
byakko 
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
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
No
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
I dont remember fall damage in nier
Fall damage is % max hp based damage
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
And the mech isnt even interesting
I did it like 2 times only
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
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
Nald and thal had a decent one for both doing it right and failing sadly you don’t see that mech anymore
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
promathia was cool af visually
Fun fact the promathia stage was in dissida 012 good map
Shadowlord bgm was also better
For extra fun factor the vas are alphie estinein and sphene
yeah jeuno was the most mechanically interesting and overall fun
I'd rate the raids in the same order as they already are
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
> what is my purpose?
< hype moments and aura
last one will be rembered more because they hated losing the roll for cackle and dont wanna pay
I already forget half the bosses from some of them this expansion
Shantoto is such a disappointment
huh wha
Shes literally called the demon
Shes insanely powerful
And her fight is so sleeper
Such a shame
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
so dissidia is a game series where various wol are practically kidnapped into an isekai
Its just in with an out at the ebd
shantotto reverse engineered the spell for fun to go back and forth
Shantotto mechanically was snooze
And then the walls give you 10 minutes to resolve
She had some decent mech
And then the KB can juat be KBIed
But overall not good
she is supposed to be -the- blm of the entire franchise but the fight was very meh
Shantotto was the only fight in that AR that I struggled with in a serious capacity
Prishe was better than her
was it due to your ping tho
Mech wise
Everything else was sleeper in comparison
I love prishes voice lines, theyre fun
fat head!
WAIT FOR ITTTTTT
I forgot what bosses were there in san andreas
The donut spam was kinda monkas if I wanted to slidecast yea lol
Think it killed me like
NULLFYING DROPKICK TO YOUR FAT HEAD
Twice first run through
TAKE THIS, AND THAT, AND ONE OF THESE
Triple cast go brrr
It was insanely simple for me
Easier than alex imo
Sorry im in the healer chair
my raid struggled much more with promathia
Promathia is prob the hardest imo
It tripped me up
Promathia is logistically the hardest one but I have seen twice as many full alliance raid wipes on Alex
really alex?
Yes
I still get trippped up on the rotating aoe balls
HOW
Alex was just uhh move cockwise and that's it
Ya
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
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
because i was blindly following the spinny
its basicly just emerald wpn phase 1
I was expecting him to rotate the other way for some reason
shinryu is such a massive letdown
All things considered I think I did pretty well
its an ex
Less deaths than day 1 san’doria 
DT shinyru not unreal
Bruh
lmao
lmao
And then he consumed a dude n became fat
yeah but litereally only used for 2 mechs
And his mechanics sucked even more
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
i low key crine
the best moment is when you have to block and there is some dumbass who wants to do it twice and dies like a bitch
Shinryu becomes bowser
yeah i swear the fat dragon design looked straight out of dragon quest or dbz lol
I want to see the 2 floors thing in EC
the monkey's paw curls and it's just a form of split arena
Massive arena that breaks apart over time
Serving as enrage
Not like e9 where it regenerates back
But once a tile is gone..it stays gone
WAAAH the train car
Every fight is LC every fight is arena split
Levercold
so arr titan
Sorta
all fights are uwu
Day 1 everyone was clamoring to get into that thing
Last week we wiped because like 5 towers were missed


meanwhile godbert can solo towers by just side stepping very fast
I thought someone would take it
Oh right I forgot I can join another static since ultimate isnt as strict as savage
Ultimate let's you have fun
I did like Windurst making the packs inbetween kinda like mini bosses instead of just basically dungeon packs like 1 and 2
This
Jueno was amazing in not one but imo 3 bosses
Shadowlord, Dragon and ofc the council
Dragon had ways to easily snowball deaths
bro forgetting prishe
Prishe was fun
There isnt a lot of fun bosses in the current one
2nd boss is... 
Its just sleeper
Ill always give Sandoria the pass for it being boring at the beginning
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
But yea it is the best boss
Day 1 we wiped to some of the raidwides cus of the lack of mit

You know the most deaths come from
Is that godforsaken cleave
Noone will see that cleave
Boom
Taking the stack in the cleave
Still wipes groups to this day
Ur dps in the floor
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
The second floor with 2 elemental aoes plus targetted/alternating aoes is a killer
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
Think I would put Vanadiel just slightly ahead of ivalice
yeah individually I'd put orboonne just ahead of jueno
it was too good, they killed his mojo and turned it to slop in part 2 of the fight
I think the only part about Shinryu I dont like is changing platforms makes you de-target
And yeah phase 2 is just boring
tbh
I kinda wished we got a dqx ar collab next
but I'll take Eva of all things, kek
I'm excited for the music
The fights can be whatever
But the music will be a banger
soken rendition of cruel angel's thesis
I still can't imagine how it's going to work lore wise or mechanic wise and how it even happened but should be interesting
We're gonna find some shit on the moon
I know we're going to get Rei I/II/III because it was in the teaser but those instrumentals are peak
I wonder which ffxiv ost they'll get remixed with
The outro music gonna be machinations. 
excited for whatever "fly me to the moon" puns they scrounge up for quest names
I like the idea someone here said where the raids should be named "First Impact", "Second Impact", and "Third Impact"
that's peak
we're missing 12 more vana'diel raids btw
First children, second children, third children
What about the 15th
what if the Eva raids are called impacts like first impact, second impact, and third impact
.
i can't believe you stole mango's idea
thief
ZAAAANKOKU NA TEEENSHI NO YOU NI
the amount of nerdgasms we're gonna have man
SHOOOUUUNEN YO SHINWA NI NAREEEEEEEEEEE
how do you even have 35% uptime on dp?
the only turned it on 2/3 the way into the pull I guess
2% enrage btw
thank you dancer


ty for hold
What is it about m11 that just gives everyone brain damage
I'm trying to think how else I can try to get a book this week aside from begging The Folks to help out
Hey take that back >:(
Its me i am brain damaged
It’s me I am brain damaged
it s me I brian damed
playing ff11 is the equivalent of walking around with your phone up to look where you need to go
Hi I’m drain bamaged
This whole raid got fire ass music, I just finished it now time for savage
The splatoon fight was hard on normal I don’t want to imagine it on savage
The music is on point!
I mean its outscaled to hell now but that fight was like getting rawed for tanks
The splatoon fight song was so good
Week 1 sugar riot….
The humble unmitigated yan
Was hard?
Yes
Yes
Using my mits and I still get blamed for dying bc the healers are too busy watching paint dry 
Haha
A very very tight dps check
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
My week 1 M7 clear had a ninja that got a zero....I think that explains a lot looking back on it
It took a little while for cleavemaxxing to come out
Ninja sucked back then?
Well not really
But viper was also a lot better
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
Yea they had to nerf it lol
Ngl thats why I liked M6 bc some jobs you took for that fight specifically
Automatically means that viper will reign supreme there
Yea because they could range attack
WAR got to shine in M6S as well
Having your WAR OT in M6S was an active troll
Let the fucker handle squirrels
When did they change tcj
Idk
7.1 I think
I think it was before raid
I think Inane would know
But ninja’s aoe kinda sucks because you need things in Doton
And things in that phase would move around
So I just unlocked the ultimate coils yesterday and I don’t see no one running it, is that something they shows up in party finder
nostalgia lounge
Nope
You can get 1 level 100 player and they can carry you through all of it tho
Ultimate Coils ?
do you mean Coil of Bahamut Ultimate or the regular coils lol
Regular coils is just coils
ult pf is probs kinda dead because UMAD is out in like 11 days
Ultimate
I thought you could not unsync ultimates
yea lol
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:
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
that too. ultimate parties are almost all on aether
Oh yea primal is dead but still not popular rn
but even on aether you're not gonna find many ucob parties
idk about NA
Can’t wait for full region DC pf
In NA its TOP
It’s gonna be so fucking good when it works

top booming lately
Really? Can I go there? Is a whole other data center
yep, log out, go to the character select screen, right click your character, click "visit another data center"
Still waiting for the kick in the nuts of them saying "It'll be coming on 8.X please look forward to it"
Have the UMAD weapons been datamined yet
i think they waited to announce it until now because they are sure they can ship it in 7.5x
What is that? Whole data centers will join a party
That's the hope
Everyone is on the same party finder
Ohhh and go to that one to do raids
Yea that’s how world travel worked
well i mean
its o8s
do the math
i havent seen vfx mined yet
Well I mean the glows lol
we know the base models are O8S but we don't know what the vfx will be
Because I saw cutscenes
The vfx haven’t been, no
Idc about the glows I wanna know the title
<The Ultimate Clown>
care to share 👁️
I got 790 so I could technically enter Kefka parties if I clear
Idyllic is the entire second half
But I think they’d shoot me for not having a savage wep
So that’s why I barely see any raids posted in party finger cause everyone in a different data center

It’ll change next expansion but yeah
Everyone is on Aether for raids
Guy who thinks UCOB is an extreme “guys we can clear in an hour with a bunch of pf randos”
You just know they still blamed the pct
Their fault for being a skinny legend
party finger
It actually kinda is fault no
Since they know the direction the puddle baiter going in
The Mad Legend maybe
Oh it was already said gg
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
idk if theres much of a use case for it tbf
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)
Feint
Do you have it?
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
its just such a rarely used feature im not surprised lol
... 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
rarely known morelike
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?
Oh is there a site I can go to to see what bis I need for the level 70 ultimates
!faq ultisync
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.
sub stats can be a little funky, especially for specific skill speeds, but p often it's better to just go raw crit focus
UWU is so bad that too much damage is actively detrimental
yeah
99% of cases its fine just using whatevers your current gear
"killing too fast" is unironically a thing in uwu
If you need specific gcd speed you could probably just swap some pieces to get skill speed and see how it syncs?
this game is actively hostile against keeping a lot of ulti gearsets
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
What really? Ain’t more dmg good?
uwu is old
they didn't really think of players doing significantly more damage than back when it was current
job action changes etc
I’m a tank is skill speed important for the gunbreaker?
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
I'm on the boat of
which might gain you an extra cartridge to spend
If you have to ask the question it probably doesn't matter for you
stuff likethat
like in FRU 2.5 gnb had to do an AOE combo to build a cartridge 1 gcd faster
esp UWU
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
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
ultima phase mistakes actually costs you clears so yea
even though its pretty simple in comparison to 2026 fights
yeah tldr gear is never going to be the reason you actually lose
UWU wipes are mostly caused by people being overconfident and dumb in what ive seen
it's always either a) failing mech or b) failing rotation
mb im new
Brother, you're a Picto player, you have lead poisoning, that's way better
nuh uh i can twerk if i want to
I'd say I can too but it's one of the jobs I don't have at 100 yet so
i have 1 (one) singular savage log on dnc fear me
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
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
slaughter isnt bad if you always kbi the 2nd set
you swift the hammer motif when getting knocked around by the 1st set
I wanted to play tank but I am being drawn to castors now😩 and I already spent a ton on tank gear
Expensive😩 it cost me one mil to gear my gnb, and I am very cheap
I guess I can start farming it now that I unlock the current raids and alliance
i mean if you dont have the money you cant play caster so wat now
I got the money I’m just cheap, I got like 21 mil left my real life cheapness manifest in game😂
thats a personal decision at that point
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
Yeah
sounds kind of like a pain in the ass
That’s right I can farm those for my castor gear
Really?
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
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?
yeah when I did them for the first time people where rolling for them:/
does red mage do more dmg then summn?
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?
Poggies?
Hope this actually does something (it wont)
he may have been perma'd
God it would be funny
he will miss ult at minimum it seems lmao
harassment i think
about time
didn't keep his mouth shut abt harassing se employees probably
long time overdue 😭
yes
40 years old and he beefs with people he doesn't even know
he had mods completely visible on stream too
if it's relating to mods i wonder if arthas got banned too, but i recall them not caring that much at the time for some reason

The gm said "making aggressive remarks or taking aggressive actions against others while using XIV copyrighted material"
So saying it’s for mods is kind of ??? Takeaway
its def not mods
its just his recent behavior on stream
and prob off stream too
hes been starting shit for a while
banning people in game for saying things on twitter kinda yikes
not to defend the bald man I don't want to do that
But like in general
It’s not the first time he specifically has had that happen
if theyre harassing company employees then i dont think its yikes honestly
You can’t send your community to attack somebody on your command and say it happened off platform so your hands are clean
exactly
I'm not in enough on the drama my bad I'll rescind my takes
Se is perfectly allowed to not want that type of person doing that in the community, whether by telling them to grow up or removing them.
He went on a generational rant about how it’s his duty as the largest creator to “make damn sure his community hates these [expletive against women removed here] enough to make sure se never works with them again” as a part of his hate campaign for what most people assume it was for
I heard rumors that him and his buddies were cutting lines and shit at fanfest, but I obviously can't corroborate that myself
fuck man be normal challenge failed again
That’s people just not understanding cons
If somebody is popular and lines get messed up by him being in them bc of fans, it’s better for the line if security removes him from it so it can be managed easier
Line goes faster overall even if he wasn’t media pass if he gets just put in early
Like hate the guy but that accusation has been the fakest attack ever
You don’t want you entry lines to be a fan neet up zone
be normal challenge (impossible)
is that ||the shantytown in eulmore, by the apothecary guy||?
at least people are synchronized
I'm still getting sneezed on in act1
BLM does the most damage in a vacuum, but does not scale as well with buffs as PCT. SMN is last.

we have a winner
Smn actually feeds buffs better than rdm for parsing, it is better in that aspect of high end
did Xeno's ban have anything to do with that Twitter fiasco a week ago
maybe because he cant stop fucking running his mouth at everything !
If you're seriously trying to parse, your caster is always PCT anyways
It’s what most people assume bc it was for harassing people while using ffxiv copywrited material as per gm
Actually you’d be surprised
how did he use FFXIV material
nah iirc it's happened to some twitter users too where they make shit posts and also have their xiv character linked
didn't he just call them stupid bitch
not saying that's not problematic, but that's not related to FFXIV
dude no
there were really obvious lines everywhere
cordoned off and everything
i play this game too much
secondhand info though since I didn't see him there
i'd imagine its not for what he said on twitter, but because he was shit talking people while streaming the game
If you just go off of twitter, but he kind of had his hour long meltdown while still on ffxiv
but friends said he was just acting like he had a media pass LOL
probably a weird way to say "why are you being a dipshit while being attached to our brand"
I mean they probably had to bring the "copyrighted material" in somehow
idk don't ask me I'm not square
just say "we banned you cause you're toxic and you play our game"
cause that's what this ultimately is no?
you know jp loves their copyrights and trademarks and brands
that's 100% valid BTW, just their wording is kind of wtf
I think because it happened off platform they had to come up with some excuse
and knowing jp companies they always have to find some random rule to stick it onto
I mean imagine Riot was this indirect in banning someone like Tyler1
it would seem dumb as hell
okay but riot is not a JP company
jp companies will cite the most random bullshit to say they don't like you
Well they literally were with iwilldominate
anyways, thanks for clarifying
It ended up being bc he called a rioter stupid in person, he found out a year after his perma ban
I think also because the problematic toxicity wasn't ingame
I was confused as to wtf they were talking about
they felt the need to justify themselves somehow
when they said copyright
but yeah
he said some really shit takes on twitter
generationally shit takes
I'm assuming you know which tweet was probably the catalyst
everything burns
flight it up let's go flight it up let's go
everything birds
yo you know what
I think blizzard should pay xenosys to play wow
anything so that he doesn't feel the need to come back :)
okay that's enough random hate talking have a dango
yeah tl;dr Xeno banned for unhinged Tweets
I'm more surprised it took this long
it's been like half a month
I'm coming back after about a year hiatus and I remember xeno being fairly respected back then ? What the hell happened
I think the meltdown after probably is worse than the tweets
could be it only recently generated bad publicity for SE?
if I were them I'd be like "wow wait if I ban him does that mean all his followers also leave that's two birds with one stone"
yeah agreed, doubling down was the really bad part
I wonder how long it even took for SE to notice outside of the harassment
he was not fairly respected hes just one of the most popular xiv content creators
Where he specifically said it’s his duty and shit to harass them
I've not been playing that long, but anytime I watch one of his videos with takes on the game
rookie mistake on my part
he just spouts random predictions and when they're right he goes SEEE THEY LISTENED TO ME
that's all he's done
it ultimately boils down to: "I'm right, and if you disagree with me, you're an idiot"
Different people respect him different amounts,
I haven’t respected him for a decade at this point
I think I respect watashia more than him
okay no
