I thought it was a counter

tepid briar
#

what.

random needle
#

... c41 for this exact fight???

clear plume
#

Realistically, he’s probably a console player and it isn’t uploaded

tepid briar
#

just update his tomestone it'll be accurate right

#

right???

random needle
#

I guess I don't have much room to speak because I prog lied to arena split from fresh but still

clear plume
#

But it’s never a good thing to have tomestone behind console players get to sit in the hotel chair on that one

tepid briar
#

to snaking fine

#

to split holy fuck

random needle
#

We saw stated prog point in two pulls so

tepid briar
#

yeah I don't have the balls for that

#

I still have trauma of anxiously hoping red hot doesn't point the cleave the wrong way

wicked delta
#

this thancred wannabe is trying to scam his way through prog 🔥

random needle
#

I was kinda egged on into it by a couple friends who did have that far of prog and Trojan Horse'd me that far but

tepid briar
#

I was enrage to clear m11 and had a friend trojan me into a reclear

#

yeah those people sucked

#

m10 was a 200 pull for me

random needle
#

I'd probably still be on m11 enrage to clear if I didn't get helped

tepid briar
#

m11 has some seriously incompetent people

#

split is not that difficult

random needle
tepid briar
#

I was all pfing though

amber fable
#

M10 took most at 150

#

M11 was 126

#

But i inted a lot in my first clear

wicked delta
#

chills

random needle
#

I'm struggling with motivation to do m12 though

wicked delta
#

embarassingly took me like 100 pulls to clear p1

amber fable
#

My tomestone for m12 show 50

wicked delta
#

some pulls i def inted

#

lol

amber fable
#

But I got upto curtain call

wicked delta
#

i inted hard in my m11s clear

rapid whale
#

i stopped reading a certain point and was like bro

M12p1 is such a boring ass fight

#

Spending too long on it unironically makes me not wanna do it

random needle
#

It's so boring, but with so many stupid ways to get yourself or others killed

#

I've died multiple times to hugging the snake wall as β in act 2

amber fable
#

Well i didnt spent too long but the thought of it

#

Made me not do it anyway

wicked delta
#

idk i liked p1

#

clearing it was the actual painful part

#

it was simple in concept but a lot of the parties i was in were um

random needle
#

I'd probably like it a bit better if people could do act 2/3 a little better but weh

wicked delta
#

gulp!

rapid whale
#

i think the only mech i actively dislike is the chained bat in m9s

#

hate that shit

#

idc if its easy i hate it

#

Deathmatch is 💀

wicked delta
#

unironically thats the mech im worst at in the whole tier

#

amber fable
#

Undead deathmatch is harder than anything in m4s

#

No cap

random needle
#

The bit I hate most is if you're chained to the out bat

#

Because you can't be too far away or you get ddowned, you can't be too far in when it stops or you get hit, but you also can't be too close to the boss or you get hit by the donut instead

amber fable
#

I always get dd there

#

But like it dont matter anyway

And then it's immediately followed by Akh Morn :icant:

#

no idea who this is but i am genuinely impressed by their perseverance

wicked delta
#

this cannot be real

#

can we talk about how p2 --> p3 took over 1000 pulls

amber fable
#

Surely its party fault

valid solar

surely

rapid whale

i thought the 2k pulls to p3 was

#

but this i well over 3k pulls to see p3

#

Even auto rotation with boss mod would have progged faster

#

Kinda crazy to take that many pulls

rapid whale
#

i was just sent the screen so i have 0 context who it is

#

if they actively progged 4 hours a day (not counting waiting for PF, just the time in combat) that's over two months of prog
gulp

rapid whale
#

im just genuinely, like no sarcasm, impressed by their mental

idt i could ever be that strong

#

Tank seems really hard to play in raids

#

Especially in ultimates when moving the boss and stuff.

#

I tried hopping on M1 heavy weight, in a practice run and got one shotted by the first tank buster twice and got kicked. Made me scared to try tank in raid againXD

tulip anvil
flat axle
trim frost
#

i mean yeah dying to the tankbuster is the most obvious indicator that you don’t know what you’re doing

#

which one

flat axle
#

The first time I thought o could survive, so that was a mistake the second time I thought one was enough

flat axle
tulip anvil
#

I’m not a tank player but 1 mit isn’t gonna cut it with a lot of tank busters in savage

trim frost
#

that’s fresh for the mechanics of the fight

#

not for high end raiding in general

#

but tbh adequate mitigation should not be a concept you learn after trying high end content

flat axle
#

It also said learning soo

rapid whale
trim frost
#

learning the mechanics of the fight

rapid whale
#

usually 40% if not more

#

im not a tank expert so i couldnt tell you precisely but part of learning to play tank is what is known as a "mit plan" so that your cool downs are used efficiently

#

and yes, autos are part of that in most encounters

flat axle
#

Well I’m use to not getting blasted by one tank buster, did not know it was gonna kill me in one hit, but now I know.

trim frost
#

40% can be (but not always) sufficient by itself, 20% needs some help from other short cds to get a higher effective % mit

#

have you done extremes?

flat axle
trim frost
#

then you should start there

#

and it should be current extremes ofc

#

like doomtrain enuo

#

doomtrain is a very good one to practice with because tankbusters are extremely frequent on top of very heavy auto attacks so you have to think about how to effectively spread your mitigations

#

i can’t speak on enuo bc i haven’t done it yet

rapid whale
#

It's unfortunate they kicked you but hey you learned something

#

I don't even really think it's your fault since the msq does piss all to prepare you for this level of content

tall field
#

This

rapid whale
#

I always say the msq does everything it can to make you a bad player and a lot of learning to raid is breaking the habits it taught you

flat axle
loud nymph
#

yeah, if you're new to savage the game has never thrown any actual tankbusters at you

tall field
#

You didn't need to double mit

flat axle
#

They did not even give me a chance to try again

tall field
#

You can just throw your 25s/15s and call it a day

rapid whale
#

That's two mits tho

tall field
#

Then you get your eyes opened wide in high end

rapid whale
flat axle
loud nymph
#

hopefully the new intermediate difficulty in EC makes the transition from normal to savage a bit less.....jarring

jolly flume
#

square enix didn't give tanks like 80% total mitigation for busters that do half your hp

flat axle
trim frost
#

yikes

loud nymph
#

uhhhhhh

#

why are you 760 in savage keikoconcern

trim frost
#

you should be 770 minimum

tall field
loud nymph
#

the instance is 770+

trim frost
#

closer to 780 now honestly with how much free gear upgrading you can do

rapid whale
#

To make an analogy, the msq is like a slip and slide and then savage is like asking you to surf or wipe out

loud nymph
#

why would you go into a learning PF with less than the minimum gear level

flat axle
loud nymph
#

bruh

trim frost
loud nymph
#

but still

flat axle
loud nymph
#

bruh

trim frost
#

well this is a learning opportunity

jolly flume
#

let me assure you that 30 more item levels wouldn't have fixed what you were doing

#

just learn the basics first

tall field
#

And see which attacks can hurt u more

flat axle
torn kindle
#

TFW I gotta do P4S like 10 or 11 times because there’s so many weapons I want for glam

tall field
#

And a short mit helps for them

trim frost
#

yeah that’s a big problem

#

mit stacking is a pretty fundamental concept

flat axle
#

Not really cause now I know

#

lol

loud nymph
deep gale
#

So wait have you just been using one mit at a time in lvl 100 dungeons?

jolly flume
#

well it's less that's a problem

#

and more what else do you not know

#

because I'd bet the answer is a lot

flat axle
tall field
#

Did you meld

trim frost
#

casual content isn’t challenging

tall field
#

Materia

rapid whale
#

Yeah you're just in the "you don't know what you don't know" yet

torn kindle
#

I mean in dungeons you basically never need more than one mit active

tall field
#

And have popcorn

torn kindle
#

Hell if you single pull mit isn’t needed at all

trim frost
#

you’re not actually required to mit in a lot of cases honestly

loud nymph
#

Again this is just more proof of the issues with the difficulty rampup between normal and savage

flat axle
rapid whale
#

Not your fault it's one of the major criticism of xiv end game, how big the difficulty spike is

loud nymph
#

bruh

flat axle
trim frost
#

well that’s my point

#

the difference between one and zero mits is almost fucking nothing in casual content because it doesn’t hurt

rapid whale
tall field
#

In w2w pulls?

flat axle
tall field
#

Did you use more than 1 mit

rapid whale
#

I forget the exact process of turning crafted gear into 780 but iirc it uses uncapped tomes

flat axle
trim frost
#

tankbusters in savage will basically always kill you in the absence of proper mit

rapid whale
#

Point being, you can walk into your next attempt at 780 should you so wish

trim frost
#

and you really should

tall field
#

Yeah

deep gale
flat axle
loud nymph
#

have you never tried extreme, aleanotis?

trim frost
#

he said yes but not on tank

#

don’t know which ex he means tho

loud nymph
#

ah ok fair enough

trim frost
#

if it’s like ifrit lmao lmao

flat axle
loud nymph
#

😬

deep gale
#

I would personally recommend doing Enuo to get the ilvl 785 weapon as well.

#

EX

trim frost
#

yeah no u gotta do dt extremes to get experience in current content

flat axle
trim frost
#

mmm

rapid whale
#

Yeah even in UWU there's a mit plan

loud nymph
#

yeah

flat axle
rapid whale
#

It's just one of those things you gotta learn as a tank in high end content

#

Ic

trim frost
#

tbf dps don’t really do much in uwu

#

especially melees

loud nymph
#

depends on the dps, melees only ever do garuda cleanses

#

ranged at least have to do uh

#

the ifrit bait thingies

rapid whale
#

But yeah the ball is in your court now, first things first is getting yourself a crafted set. Should be under 2m to get it

jolly flume
#

uwu has mechanics?

flat axle
loud nymph
#

and mesohigh tethers I guess

jolly flume
#

dps is not harder ever

deep gale
flat axle
jolly flume
#

ever ever ever

rapid whale
#

DPS is known for being the unga bunga role in high end

tall field
# flat axle Put materia on? No not yet
  1. For now start getting the habit to use Iong+short in all content starting with the casual, yes not needed but the muscle memory will do.

  2. The gear suggestions told above.

  3. Once you are ready with the gear you can get, meld materia on them: start with critical hit. If the gain is <54 switch to direct hit.

  4. Get caramel popcorn

Always eat this before doing high end. The stat increase helps a lot.

loud nymph
jolly flume
#

it was a joke

#

but 80% of them just boil down to dodge aoe

trim frost
#

i cleared uwu in 13 pulls on drg from fresh it is really that nothingburger for dps

#

could’ve been fewer if a certain crayon didn’t troll my group

flat axle
loud nymph
#

uwu is the easiest ultimate

deep gale
#

Its all relative

loud nymph
#

It's still an ultimate

tall field
#

Main is awakening her

loud nymph
#

but compared to the others it is much easier

flat axle
rapid whale
#

as the saying goes there's levels to this shit

loud nymph
#

it's all relative to your amount of high end experience, that's all

rapid whale
#

the important part imho is the willingness to improve

flat axle
#

We was all first time trying it

rapid whale
#

as long as you dont get stuck in a rut and go full doomer you'll be fine

flat axle
#

nah I had fun learning it and the people I was with also where chill, only had that bad experience when I tried hopping in the savage as tank

trim frost
#

i mean part of clear efficiency is having party members who know what theyre doing

rapid whale
#

yea im like 90% sure valcors went in w/ people who had cleared

trim frost
#

with zero people who know what they’re doing the pull count could be 10x longer or more

#

because everyone is then prone to some aspect of personal failure that wipes the group

rapid whale
#

hell 50x

tall field
#

Extremes do require some amount of mitigation but is more lenient if you mess up ur mitigation.. hence the middle ground. In evercold next year we will get more of this middle ground difficulty

rapid whale
#

10 pull sto clear an ultimate is by no means normal

tall field
flat axle
rapid whale
#

yea nah

#

1 single person not really knowing whats going on but has studied and has ppl in vc telling them what to do during hectic parts is a v diff exp than 8 ppl fresh to a fight

#

not to discount what valcors did

#

something you run into a lot when its 8 fresh is nobody is 100% sure why a wipe happened

#

that alone can eat up more than 10 pulls lol

craggy marsh
rapid whale
#

p much

#

'i thought i did it right' x8

#

but the wipe still happened sooo

flat axle
rapid whale
jolly flume
rapid whale
#

so true pookie

flat axle
#

I should try healer in there. Probably more stressful than tank?

tall field
#

I agree with the statement the expectations from someone only who did msq/normals and then when they go to savage cos
Its unlocked so i deserve to clear it with what knowledge i have and then get owned..

Yeaa

jolly flume
#

healing is generally not very difficult but reasonably punishing

#

the bar to do your job well is not that high

#

the consequences for not doing your job well

#

are pretty bad

rapid whale
#

to put that into perspective

trim frost
flat axle
rapid whale
#

a dps doing poorly at their job only finds out 10 mins later when they enrage

#

assuming mechs were done

#

a healer doing poorly finds out almost immediately when ppl die

tall field
trim frost
jolly flume
#

depends on the fight

rapid whale
#

thgat too

trim frost
#

they just continue on blissfully unaware that they’re the problem

jolly flume
#

a clear is a clear right chat

rapid whale
#

ppl bitching and moaning about m11s dps check meanwhile they are like, a full 5k dps lower than wk1 clears

trim frost
#

verses from the book of rin

jolly flume
#

never mind that I am healing the boss

loud nymph
#

healing_with_pf_schs.mp4

tall field
#

So we cant

trim frost
#

uh oh

loud nymph
jolly flume
#

if you don't kill the boss by a certain time everyone explodes unavoidably

#

:)

#

hence

rapid whale
#

so, in savage and above content there is a minimum amount of DPS the party as a whole has to do in order to kill the boss before they instantly wipe you

jolly flume
#

there is a mathematical bar

#

that you must be above to clear

tall field
#

Have you done fights

#

In normals

#

Where there was a bar

flat axle
tall field
#

Bar reaches 100

#

Die

loud nymph
#

note: dps checks exist in extreme too, as well as a few specific instances of normal content

tall field
#

That is sort of an enrage

rapid whale
#

o do they

loud nymph
#

but the checks are so lax as to be basically nonexistent below savage

flat axle
#

I did not know it was called a dps check

loud nymph
tall field
#

The other good example is what

#

Ruby weapon?

flat axle
#

Cause they ain’t that hard to do in casuals

tall field
#

Ruby actually has an enrage

loud nymph
rapid whale
#

but yeah lemme find the photo of the dps checks this tier

flat axle
#

Ahhh ok

trim frost
rapid whale
#

this is the minimum dps per fight the entire party has to do

flat axle
#

So besically in svg if 1 dps is not doing dmg perfectly yall can wipe?

rapid whale
#

perfectly is a very strong word

loud nymph
#

it doesn't have to be perfect

trim frost
#

not necessarily

tall field
#

Depends on mechanic

rapid whale
#

it also depends on when in the tier you are clearing

#

week 1 and it can absolutely feel that way

loud nymph
#

but if someone is sandbagging and doing a fraction of what they should be, yes, the party could hit enrage even if they do everything else perfectly

trim frost
#

you should try to aim for as close to perfect as you can but that’s not usually realistic

jolly flume
#

I mean doing damage close to perfectly in this game is once again not a super high bar

flat axle
#

Ohh I see

jolly flume
#

roll the gcd

#

and you're better than 75% of players

tall field
#

If you do mechs perfect

rapid whale
#

for example, m11s was notorious in PF for feeling "too hard" just due to the DPS check alone; the expectation was you would need a perfect (or close to it) run (aka 0 deaths 0 damage downs) and double melee limit break in order to meet the check

loud nymph
#

yes, the bar is so low it's actually in the ground

tall field
#

But you just do 1 2 3

#

Well

flat axle
tall field
trim frost
trim frost
#

so yeah

jolly flume
#

the fundamentals that are shared across every job in the game are enough to put you in the 75th to 90th percentiles comfortably

loud nymph
rapid whale
#

as weeks go by and people get access to more and more gear, the relative "perfection" that is asked of the player goes down

flat axle
brisk scarab
#

yeah, once people start gaining ilvl over the coming weeks it becomes more lenient, but still requires quite a lot of personal application

trim frost
tall field
#

Both their dps matter

dusk sky
#

Difficulty is relative and all that jazz, but yeah comfortably knowing your rotation and how to do it through mechanics is always a steady bar

loud nymph
#

healer and tank dps matters too

trim frost
#

you need to try to optimize your damage regardless of role

tall field
#

You aint getting scott free with bad dps in healer

brisk scarab
#

healers do a decent chunk themselves, yeah

loud nymph
#

DPS are responsible for 60-65% of the party's DPS, tanks and healers are responsible for the other 35-40%

rapid whale
#

healer being bad at dps is actually one of the major reasons the m11s check was considered "impossible for PF" in the early weeks, because you'd get healers who were not efficient doing like a full 25-30% lower DPS than their job could potentially put out

brisk scarab
#

healer deaths are way more impactful in itself as well

jolly flume
#

bad healers often contribute more to enrages than bad dps

loud nymph
#

healer deaths also lead to losing resources, making healing harder

jolly flume
#

healers are the only role in the game that have a tradeoff between their main role purpose and doing damage

loud nymph
#

which, in turn, makes the DPS check harder

flat axle
#

Shit

loud nymph
#

because they must spend more GCDs on healing due to the lack of resources

jolly flume
#

tanks don't lose damage by doing tank shit

#

healers do lose damage for doing healing shit if they're playing badly

rapid whale
# tall field Wait this is why?

it's those 12k dps healers when someone like @jolly flume was putting out 20k in full crafted gear and giving up gcd's to do weapons

brisk scarab
#

dead healer > other healer most likely loses decent chunk of mana reviving, or uses resources > offbalance in healing and dps output

jolly flume
#

many healers also just simply suck at rolling their gcd

loud nymph
#

for example, an SGE dying means they lose any addersgall they have stored

brisk scarab
#

and I believe WHM has bloom from 3 flower stacks

loud nymph
#

WHMs lose their lilies, SCHs lose their aetherflow

brisk scarab
#

^ yeah, lilies

tall field
#

Sch is even worse

#

No?

flat axle
#

ok now playing healer sounds nerv racking af, I’ll just stick to tank.

tall field
#

Bye bye fairy

trim frost
#

asts lose their mp lol

loud nymph
#

SCH would lose faerie gauge as well too yeah

rapid whale
#

point being that everyone has to perform in savage and above

jolly flume
#

scholar's kind of okay provided you hold dissipation

#

and stagger af/lucid

#

but it's obviously not ideal

flat axle
rapid whale
#

pretty much

loud nymph
#

yeah, that's kinda the point

rapid whale
#

it's just a matter of how visible are your errors

tall field
#

For tanks not using mits is

rapid whale
#

tank errors as u saw u die to tb etc

brisk scarab
#

you just gotta get used to a role you like playing

jolly flume
#

every role has to contribute tangibly or you wipe for the most part

flat axle
#

gunbreaker😊

rapid whale
#

healer error, someone dies while at full health

tall field
#

You dont want a healer yell at you in this

rapid whale
#

dps error, you see enrages

brisk scarab
#

theres dps that have more output, but any dps/healer/tank job can clear anything

#

just find the job that suits you

tall field
#

^

jolly flume
#

as with many things, the problem is usually between the chair and the screen

brisk scarab
#

I've mained BLM for the 3sh years Ive played this game, and I'm comfortable doing savage and up content because of it

rapid whale
#

there is no quick fix, no "baby role" nothing like that, everyone has to do their part

stray forge
#

weird, i dont recall there being anything wrong with my keyboard

tall field
#

In extremes this applies

jolly flume
loud nymph
#

PF proves every day you can be dogshit at this game and still clear

tall field
#

But not to a large extent

flat axle
loud nymph
#

but that doesn't mean you shouldn't always be trying to do better

Mmo mouse seems pretty convenient i was wondering how do pc players move while pressing skills but i know im gonna fat finger it

jolly flume

you just press wasd with one finger

#

you still got four other fingers at any given time

loud nymph
#

at least

#

presumably

jolly flume
#

also you can offload some of the inputs to your mouse hand if you have side buttons, even if it's not a full set of 12 or something

rapid whale
#

you can also move with left + right click at the same time to keep left hand free for hotkeys

jolly flume
#

I use my side buttons as ctrl and shift

stray forge

woulda been reeeeaaal awkward if they only had one hand

proven pivot

yea i use modifiers on side buttons even w/ a mmmo mouse

Just kidding

I use an mmo mouse with the buttons bound to f1 thru f12 then those buttons are an entire hotbar for abilities I only use semi frequently

#

ultimate will never change

#

less than 1% or so of the community actually does it

#

and most people who don’t go out of their way to do them will never touch the content

#

i have hopes that evolved mode will provide a low skill floor but with high skill ceilings

#

main issue i see with evolved mode atm is it actually being too flexible

#

like, as a paladin player of 6 years im going to be very sad to see fight or flight go

#

like what if fight or flight existed but it had a different cooldown from imperator

proper cave
#

If anything it'll just get baked into confetti

undone tide
#

that’s like

#

that isn’t particularly interesting

amber fable
#

Idk 2 ogcd for buffs isnt that super brain usage

undone tide
#

if we’re going to have flexible burst cooldowns we should also need to align our cooldowns

amber fable
#

And if they made req and fof different cooldown

#

Then people will bitch

undone tide
#

i don’t think that’s enough of a problem for people to complain about

#

like if fof is 60 and req is 40 you get 2 reqs in fof every 2 minutes and you have one req for free use

amber fable
#

People will do degen shit

#

Of prepull fof

#

Or something

#

We had that pre 6.3

undone tide
#

you only do that if you know it gains you a usage

#

what’s the problem if we have niche fight dependent tech

#

-18 fof was never necessary to do good damage

amber fable
#

I will just add that evo showcase wasnt final build

#

So things can change still

undone tide
#

oh i’m aware

tall field
undone tide
#

what

tall field

I mean at once we all burst

Since we all selfish

amber fable

Party buffs are no more

undone tide

there’s no reason to sync buffs

amber fable

So why would you align

undone tide

except for bard’s thing

amber fable
#

You will sync self buffs

#

If you have multiple of it

tall field
#

Pld has none

undone tide
#

also we have stacks of most of our burst tools so if there are a few 10s buffs that appear sporadically you just adjust

tall field

So i doubt any others getting

As an AST, do you prioritize critical hit, spell speed or piety in melds?

fierce matrix
#

Never touch Piety

meager hawk
#

I touch Piety every day and she said she likes it.

dapper zealot
fierce matrix
#

Easiest way to think:

Spell/Skill speed to tier => Crit Hit => Direct Hit = Det (Most classes are this way, but some change how the priority works)

This is the general idea

#

Obviously there is exceptions to this case, but for a majority of your classes this is the case

meager hawk
#

I know how to meld / priority but I was wondering for AST specifically since it felt a bit slower than my WHM when sharing sets

undone tide
#

i wouldn’t say never touch piety but it is generally not advisable

meager hawk
#

I’m not at PC so I can’t get the exact times but I melded spell speed and it feels fine now

fierce matrix
#

The last time I melded piety was ShB

#

Well, you wanna make sure you meld the correct spell speed

#

then adjust the rest to crit

undone tide
#

i melded piety in ew for pf

fierce matrix
#

and then det/dh

i just picked up sage for aspho pf because i wanted to

#

slapped a little piety on for safety and parsed low 90s just by pressing buttons

fierce matrix

im never gonna do that

if I need piety to clear the party shouldnt kill imo

#

id rather just leave and not clear with that party cause I dont wanna carry sandbags

undone tide
#

clear is a clear

#

the less time i spend in a fight the better

fierce matrix
#

nah i dont want to release shitters into PF

the less bad people clearing

the less bad people in my reclears

you know they’ll just find another group to clear with eventually

Will evercold make not named crit/dh useful for tanks?

and I want them to get stuck in other parties and possibly quit/get better

thats every class LOL

undone tide

# trim frost what question

so lets say you want to make a raid group but you dont have anybody else, but you see 12 f2p players eager to play any hard content sync so you join them and train them to do old savages. So, when the time comes when they have synced all of the hard content plus ultimate, you then pay their sub money for the current expansions and more to raid current tier, isnt that kinda op

You cant do ult
