The stat with the points
What job Kelvin?
ohh nice
Drg
you apply head-on directly to the forehead
I went crit, personally.
Crit if you can, dh if not
It's fine
dh isn't bad
DH is fine, really
Ah ok
as long as you didn't like, go full skillspeed det melds or something worse
you're fine
Yeah, optimize your uptime and your secondaries will start to matter more. If you're just getting into gearing/raiding, secondaries don't matter as much as people make 'em out to.
π¬
Unless you do what Rika said or if you play NIN and you have fuckin 1400 SkS
NIN really, actually suffers a lot with high SkS
the class that goes fast and attacks fast
hates SKS
i always found that super strange so i was slike "but more attacks, don't they like that"
and then i played ninja with high sks
holy moly cancer
You can lose about 100 DPS as Warrior if Upheaval gets misaligned
yeah that sounds about right
Which it often does for me with 2.36 GCD
that window at the start is super tight
And that's 0.02 difference
I get what Vertical means for O7S (Virus), but what's CCW [Counterclockwise] for?
biblio
Yes
that sounds clockwise
i thought it was W to N
Yeah. In the end itβs 4 locations pick two
not doing edge at exdeath π
oh hey new channel
I kinda miss Exdeath, tbh. I mean, yeah I hated Exdeath, but I also thought it was a fair fight. Neo was what I was always looking forward to.
Exfaust is stupid and I hate his face
i hate his cape more
Lmao
"I'm casting Black Hole! Prepare yourself!"
"Now, you must move! HA! You've gone under my cape! WITNESS MY BALLS!"
yeah, there is sooo much follow the leader in pf
it's why you end up with all those meta parties that have no business being meta because you know the typical random pf pug has nowhere near the skill to even take advantage of it (while people like ayami get left salting daily about it)
yeah, i wonder how many of those are actually "someone forgot to reset the jobs after someone left"
not many
it was pretty much rika's comment about pf clinging to things lol
Hi
The ccw strat i believe evolved the same way was y exdad was cw, it worked and ppl spread it π€
Tbh it's usually tank or heal deciding
like healer usually decided if you die on first or third, tanks usually decided if its edge or center
atleast on eu
Yea gco was always just ask the healer
Primals the same, for exdad tho it was typical for cw strat and everything else wasnt as common
Honestly, my GCO is still shaky lol
I'm scared of Virus. I wanna see it. I want to see it and not die to it
No wait, I want to see it and die in it first.
God kefka had been like...."wait 1 hp, ultima right after then fire stacks and forsaken? Wut 
virus is pretty easy, just go stand in your assigned spot
then pass rot around after
If ur melee
Rot is the sad part
I had enough trouble trying to actually pass Last Kiss in O6S. I know how difficult passing shit in this game can be.
I've heard rumors of diagonal strat
the x shaped virus
but haven't seen it in action
where you ping pong the guy around
Where searing wind pushes the raid back in the middle
Diagonal
For uptime
and it passes virus?
Literally gonna ping pong
Doesnt searin go off tho
So ur gonna burn ur whole raid?
That's the point
This some srs strat for dmg
the damage isn't big
To push you back to the middle
But its gonna be 4 ppl
as long as you don't knock someone into a wall π‘
If u r pulled in towards ur partner? So 4 searings
the other thing was....ranged can hit from where theyre at
Gotta get those sick healer autos in there
less moving for casters/healers
π π
Anyone know gathering cap for two stars legendary node yet? I know it's 1375 for one star to get four items per gathering.
from what i've heard it's not possible to reach it on current gear yet
####For a more comprehensive guide to crafting and gathering in general, visit this huge guide linked here: https://goo.gl/WBuhzb. It has been...
expected to be around 1575 for for +3
Thanks
Alright more PvP rewards I'll likely miss out on again 
Yeah, the Feast mount looks pretty amazing
Man I do not see
How the fuck people keep uptime during Demonic Stone
I have tried this
Like 3 times
Oh the dps tether?
Its like max melee range and ur fellow tether has to do the same
Otherwise ur both rip
Im dumb
Same thing max melee and looks like they just dance around boss since he has no positionals
I've been spamming o6 normal to try and figure this out
Like, I run around the boss in a circle but stone is hitting me every single time
All 3 procs
I just die
I would just go into savage, i think i wiped my pt too many times doing the keep attking while reapers tether to me
Ask PLD for cover/healer for shield
It looks like after first drop they just keep moving looking at video
I know PLD can cover but I'd rather do a method that doesn't take resources from raid
I did it as rdm, it was basically slidecast and swift cast as the stones came
racecar strat is a bit tough but yeah
if you have a PLD, they're probably not really doing much if anything with cover anyways
most jobs you can also just kinda move out then dash back in with gap closer or something, depending on job
at most you'll take like one hit which is whatever
and you can minimize uptime loss to like maybe a GCD
Its a perfect 360 around the boss π
Cover a resource on O6S?
You have no practical use for that aside from melee uptime tbh
In Demonic stone
Wait, is that for the fountains that follow two people?
ye
Oh, that's dope.
i'd rather just have the melee do the mechanic right because the tanks are getting pounded in that fight 
You mean OT gets pounded in that fight, as MT the tank busters barely tickle
I think of taking off 2 Last Kisses there as WAR, but I dunno if my healers will like that
could swap and cover
tbh it's probably better to do it that way
last kiss on ot is dildos
I guess it's a good timing for a Circle Shirk
I'm gonna be teaching O6S to a group this Sunday. Question about the solo stacks: Is invuln required for this or something like Sentinel + ... whatever good enough?
they take like 60k damage in like 6 seconds
Aiight, so their OT will have to MT this fight unless they also have a WAR. Their OT plays as PLD.
But Hallowed is seven minute CD and there are two solo stacks, tho
you can catch both with hallowed
Hallowed comes back in time
they're almost exactly 7mins apart
the second one is just in fucking africa
Yeah, I know it's a million miles away. I never realize how long these fuckin fights are. They all feel like they're three minutes lmao
I look up at my overlay every now and then like, "How the fuck is this already 8 minutes? What???"
Nevermind the fact that I've already hit BL like 22 times and used 2 or 3 pots lmao
yeah 6 is the worst one for me in that regard, I just never really notice the time passing
It's such a relaxing fight
Unless you're a melee and get targeted for sprouts. Then it's rage.
just get lucky every time, easy
Rolls 1 on Demonic Stone
RIKAAAAAAA! >(
<3
also killing it before the second one gives you a lot better odds of not getting one haha
much cozier
Lemme tell you fam, I'm tryna skip mechanics midfight. That's my mentality lol. "Kill before" doesn't even factor into it. I wanna turn every fight into A11S.
A11S was such a mess haha
i've blacked out as warrior ot during a11s
lmao
we were at a bit of an odd point with raid dps back in creator, we would sometimes skip optical, sometimes skip edd, sometimes skip lapis, sometimes phase too early and not skip lapis
was just a mess of a different fight each time
i like that more than current format
mmm I dunno
I liked skips more akin to A10S
where you could push and skip things and it was fine
Yeah
instead of having to try to control certain amount of raid dps at certain times to skip some things but not skip others
just so much more effort
Or like in A9S killing Faust on the second fire. 9 years of solid mechanics-free uptime on the boss.
for me it was just LB1 if we land at 66%
the gayest fucking shit in a11 for me was second edd
15k shield on all dps
curebomb lmao
Oh yeah I remember the first serious group I ran with did that Faust strat in a9 and it made me feel like a good player π€
where do I get a dyable whm weapon for fashion report T_T
augment any of the tomestone weapons
You probably have 600,000 Poetics at this point, so just grab the Shire weapon from my girls Hismena and Bertana in Idyllshire. Tell 'em I sent you and they'll hook you up. For a price, of course.
shire weapon is dyeable?
alright I'll augment it then
Hismena has the Tomestone, the tokens, and the gobdip you need. Bertana has the weapon itself. Then, take the weapon and gobdip over to Seika (not one of my girls) and she'll upgrade it to dyeable for you
A11S skipparoni
I gotta get A12S on farm. Saw a buddy in map group on the mount and now I want it owo
how close have you gotten? Pugging it can be kinda rough at times, I know haha
Tell me about it, one of my buddies on siren was pugging it like 12+ hours a day and groups couldn't seal the deal
And I thought 3-4 a night for two weeks on Shinryu was rough
sounds like a bit more than you should have on either, especially if you do any filtering
Gonna try tonight
mm helping out with some O8S with mostly static tonight, but after if you're still going I might be available haha
how does loot work for savage tier raids?
well for one, painfully
joking aside, there's a lock on it based on how many people in the group have cleared. if all 8 people have not cleared, and you then clear, two chests will drop
the number goes down with more people who have already cleared for the week in the party, first down to one chest, then to zero
no matter what it always drops a datalog/token the first time you clear for the week, so even if the chests don't drop gear you can use/you fail to win the roll/you do a 0 chest party, you'll always get that upgrade token.
ah i see
Also if you skip a floor you are no longer eligible for any loot, as if you cleared.
So you can't do O7S and then do O5S and O6S for their items.
Well, you can, but the game will treat it as if you have already cleared for the week, which means no chests for you and no datalogs
And this happens if you even enter the instance, regardless of whether you clear or not.
Which is the unwritten rule for statics that you basically only run with them.
so there's no 1 chest or 0 chest shenanigans
So unless you really don't care about the floors you're skipping, DO NOT skip floors
The only time it's okay to clear without the static is when there's no more raids until next reset
Like for me, I can pug O7S all I want
Always ask your static first, though. that way you don't cause confusion.
compared to 7 or 8
depends on job, some may use more tomestone gear.
ideally I also get chest to drop from 8 as well, as well as picking up another twine
yeah I'm holding onto pages from 6
until I either get boots to drop
or hate myself and buy them all at once
I need Diamond Helmet, Gloves, Axe, 3 twines and I'll be BiS
It's the one positive thing about pentamelded BiS
Also I need a Greatsword as well
But that'll wait for way after we start clearing Kefka
Wats dis
Endgame discussion chat with same mod levels as #questions-and-help
i need 4 twines
1 polish and chest
ugh
16 o7s kills
or 12 since i will get 1 twine
Rip
At least they'll give us the weekly gimme raid soon enough
Until then I'm just gearing my SAM 
_>
I need 2 twine and a coat. I also need my weapon, chest armor, and hopefully my gloves so I don't have to spend pages this week.
Just had a 1 chest run helping someone clear with some other people who already cleared for the week on O7S
Twine, solvent, pants, all of them I severely need because BiS healer pants, twine for chestpiece and BiS healer wep
Rolled Low and was the only one who didnβt get loot
Fuk
Because only 4 players could roll on 3 pieces of loot
rip
?
at least u got both page and duty complete
o
duty complete > chests
the monday night special special
also locked to pld/war/sch/ast/nin/drg/brd/mch
pentamelded
and both tome rings
losing close to 21 dex
for 200ish crit
not sure if i should stick with it or go i370
tbh im surprised pentameldeed for BRD being BiS hasn't been a more common thing
its not
because both i360 and i370s bracers dont have crit
yea pentamelding is aids enjoy that experience
pentameld VIs
i already pentamelded the bracer
i have to do that shit every tier
π
but idk if i should stick with it til 4.4
i'd rather not be BiS for a couple weeks than have that gil sink
im losing 14 dex for 144 crit
couple weeks?
thats some luck right there
hooray for 0 o5s drops
π
6 weeks in a row
tomestones being BiS are a thing as well dont forget
plus book purchases
π
imma give 2700 crit brd a shot 1st then see if i should drop 200 crit or keep it
i've always been pretty lucky with tier drops from earlier fights, it's normally just the final fight i don't get for a while. On neo I didn't get my wep until week 6
@honest trellis better than me at least
getting wep right after using your books
week 9

@honest trellis i mean i play mch and brd
yea im the same, i'm chockers with work rn so i'm still on god kefka prog
once i learn 2nd forsaken its freeeeeeeeeeeee
3rd forsaken doesnt look too bad anyways
@boreal edge Yea but assuming you have a static, shouldn't you have, at the very worst, been given the weapon box on week 8?
2nd forsaken is cancer
lolol
8 kills are 2 weapons
box and random drop
i guess i mixed o4s with A12S
lol
at least melee dont have to do baiting meteors
so melee got it easiest in 2nd forsaken
once you pass 3rd forsaken ( which is far easier than 2nd ) you are good to kill him
i figured
since 3rd forsaken looks like jsut kefka normal mechs
with some new stuff
trine isnt that bad
and the kick things are π€·
3rd forsaken is basically 5th graven and 1st graven mixed together
is it always tanks and healers outside
oh okay
gotta look at tethers
so still got pay attention
its easy tho
oh whats dat
4 small puddles on furthest 2 dps
o.o
and 5 large puddles targetting closest 2 dps
happen in 2nd forsaken
oh it happens during it?
hmm okay
the 1st one happen mid forsaken so its easier
oh the tank thing?
hmm thats a nice gif
yes
You can have a mistake in second forsaken and have it not be a wipe, it just depends on which mistake and in some cases, if you can deal with a damage down stack
Or a death, for that matter
@boreal edge what that??
looks like godka
@boreal edge I said helping someone clear, I cleared already Long ago
ah
Preliminary patch notes are only provided for major patches.
E.g. 4.1, 4.2
The patch notes for 4.25 will likely be made available around the start of or during maintenance.
!maint
So just want to make sure this is true. Is the game really getting a FFXI styled content? Develing? NM's? Wut
yeah, side content, called Eureka
I haven't read up much on Eureka. Is it solely for the new relic weapon?
i think so? they haven't mentioned anything else really, except that one ffxi outfit thing
but there was a diadem-like lockpick lootbox opening npc next to the eureka entrance npc in the liveletter so there will probably be some more stuff
Hmm .. curious xD
Did they mention if it's FC vehicle dependent again?
nope.
highly doubt it is
I hope you fight things on this... boat
Maybe it sinks and that's how you land in eureka
Tbh we're RPG heroes and I don't think we've had a ship we're on sink yet that must be a record
Trap parties?
yes
For what part?
Probably the splits if I had to make a guess
Though if there is deleveling, and monsters powerful enough to kill you before you can kill them you'll likely won't want to try too much outside of a party
Also you can't deaggro monsters either so you won't be able to outrun it unless you're able to exit the zone and cut it off 
DO IT
DISBAND

omegalul
my group missed like 1 week so we've been on guardian for almost 4 weeks rip
"we were so close... Oh well disband"
but we've finally made some proper progress without dying post virus soo...
i think ill finally get a clear this week
I'll never understand the logic of those people
"We almost cleared after an hour of effort, time to disband and restart from 0"
helps that we finally got rid of a deadweight bard who wasnt even pulling 4k dps at i350+...
Last time I was about to get a clear we wiped at 2-3%
and he got rid of himself! π by not showing up to raid nights and not saying anything about his absence β€
Leader disbanded without a word
yeahh nooo our bard was extremely bad...
he wouldnt take criticism well
and didnt want to accept that it wasn't okay to not have a proper rotation
i dont think his gcd was going even half the time tbh
anyway im just happy i dont have to deal with him
it was awkward because we joined the static on the same day
but our level of performance was drastically different
ah
i never brought it up till like last week
but it was painful seeing my static's healers job change
to try and meet dps requirements
when one of our dps couldnt even contribute to what your average bard could do
yup
also
you guys always pugging his spot
looking at logs
lol
sam shouldnt have more casts than brd
yeah our sam is pretty good
id argue he's our best player because he's more consistent to me
on my best day I beat him on his best day but
something always goes wrong xD
im consistently good, but not consistently great
he's consistently great
O3S was a fuckin cakewalk compared to this, but still a really good fight.
I went in with a first timer learning party. OT cleared God. The rest were varying levels of new. Made it past second add, but surprises and sloppiness killed us before Virus. Furthest we got was first bombs.
It's an interesting fight for sure
I got up to second Radar, the one with the Biblio pads, one person is slow and it's a wipe
o7s was a good fight, except for the tethers
we lost at least 3 hours day 1 because we thought we did it wrong but it turns out its just because of ping
really fukin stupid
single handedly cost us top 10
i cant believe its been like 6 week of this tier already
nice <3
think it's easier this time
mechanics are really simple, DPS check tho....
think neo was harder cause hate control
from healer perspective tho
DPS might harder
there are only 2 parts still hard to heal for me in god
misaligning eos WD and/or dps missing WD for second forsaken
+
after third forsaken when you go into light phase you have to share the doublebuster 5 seconds after close/far wings happen and if the OT doesnt pop vengence for that he's dead
yeah, I can see both of those
hate 2nd forsaken, and I know there's a lot of tank damage going out for that later part because my WAR always calls for a lot of healing haha
i park eos there and let her + WD catch most of it. its always been real close but he's never died to it.
then i drop an adlo on the warrior -> deploy for light of justice and get sick lb from it
lb gen from light of judgement and such feels so good
whm casts medica medica assize medica during opener so you have to settle with 0,3 bars of lb 
congrats <3
it took me 3 or 4 weeks to clear and you get it in days
japan master race
tsun carry, clearly <3
my friends helped me
so a carry
gz on kill
my 7s is carried
because they was running a parse run
i did as SCH weapon ilvl 345
8s i don't think it's carried because everyone has to do their job
enraged one like last second
thats a powerful fucking warrior
what does Horizontal and Vertical Virus mean for 7s? I've done Virus alot but never seen those terms
vertical is hysteria tethers pushed up/down. horizontal is left/right
well not just hysteria tethers, but all tethers
including searing wind ones
just means, is movement vertical, or horizontal for those
and then there's that whole, diagonal virus thing, that's a completely different matter
ohhhokay that makes more sense
what should a diurnal ast meld
Depends on your playstyle
As in offensive or defensive
Basically all offensive goes DH or high crit
Defensive more on PIE and SS
But also focus on crit
Just no DH
aight cool beans, thanks
Hi all. What's the best way to get a notification for Ixion? Is there a channel?
Thanks!

Fun fact
It's possible to clear the byakko SSS with this
I'm pretty sure
Got it down to 1% last night
!item kintoki shin
Doma castle weapon kek
was just wondering if it's worth to upgrade to the 360 weapon from the byakko weapon
pretty universally yes, unless you're looking to clear O8S soon and get the weapon from there
even if the stats it gives isn't favourable?
yeah
main stat and weapon damage is a pretty big improvement
taken in tandem with being able to upgrade it to i370 with upgrade item from O7S
Shouldn't underestimate the utility of that slight VIT gain either
Weapon Damage is a big factor in damage.
Any extra health helps when progressing
It's why Crafted NQ weapons are extremely terrible compared to HQ
damn now I feel dumb for wasting my mendacity early
Example:
i350 Crafted Axe HQ has 101 damage.
i350 Crafted Axe NQ has 91 damage.
i288 Castrum Abania Axe has 92 damage.
But to match secondary stats you'd need the i330 Creation Axe, which would have 98 damage.
its hard to waste mendacity imo
unless u spend it on the same part somehow
you'll just be delaying if u buy a piece that u have i370 from already, so its not terrible
Also you should be making sure you're buying the right parts with mendacity
I'm delaying buying my ring for another week because I'm getting a 2nd weapon this week
Yeah, it's a bit of a waste to not buy BiS mendacity items first
Best to focus on those first and fill other slots with raid/crafted/Byakko gear
Oh I was saving up for weapons lol
I usually go for a ring right away because god knows when I'm gonna do savage in a given tier and it's the only way to have 2 blue rings from the tier without

Might get gloves next week
I mean I am getting gloves next week
Should buy a crafted ring tbh
And attempt to pentameld it
the pentamelded accessories make a not-insignificant dps increase, would recommend if you got the gil for it
What've you been spending your creation on? '
unless you're a tank.
poor tanks, they gotta spend so much gil since SE doesn't just cap their STR on accessories, even at a lower amount.
Also the STR scaling for the STR already on accessories is 
!item Lakshmi's Bracelet of Fending
!item Dai-Ryumyaku Bracelet of Fending
Well, to be fair
The only reason they added STR to tank accessories at all was people doing 4.0 extreme primals with Shire slaying accessories
And now people use Crafted Accessories because the strength gain is so minimal between ilvl jumps and you don't need the extra HP most of the time to justify losing out on a ton of secondary stats.
π€·
er sorry i meant what have u been spending ur mendacity on
trying to work out why you only have 1 bit of mendacity gear
Also that axe is level 67 and ilvl 282 π
Yeah I literally just got my war to 70 last night
ah
I bought chest week 2, drk weapon week 5, and I'm getting war weapon on tuesday
Finally made it to Virus. The icon is cute lol.
I need to watch a DRG clear of this fight. A few of βem, tbh. I need to see how they do certain things.
RIPPO
I love that tank bis are crafted accessoires
means I don't need to grind o5s pages and polishes

hi nerd

@unique wolf where can I get that emoji
just put it in your own emote server
ok
Man, SE has to be monitoring this shit lmao. Like, they've gotta see that raiding tanks aren't using either the tomestone right side or the raid right side.
It can be stressfull to be melee dps.
Do you get chests for Kefka in Savage, or only God Kefka?
Mmk
Just treat it like the Fausts from Alexander, if you ever did it
well, the savage raids are pretty challenging as well as the ultimate fight they added last patch
Yeah I was thinking that
if he's played an mmo before I think he will easily find something to like about this game
and, it's on sale 50% off until tomorrow i believe
Remember Ultimate is still gated behind O4S
There's also a good possibility we'll get another Ultimate fight in 4.3
of course, but that's just more challenges for him to tackle
The most challenging aspect of raiding is to find a raid group with similar skill level and raid times

^
Pugs 
Faye did you know I have found my static here at #reddit-recruitment-feed ?
Damn
Nice
Thing is tho if I get a static it'll have to be after next week
Since my schedule has been a little fucked
But like
Elemental rf isnt bad
Try to filter them by raid times and not by skill levels, as long as they have a desire to improve it's workable
But fucked up raiding times are not fixable
Without roster changes
Yeah I'll do that
It's just that my schedule for the past few months, days I was free kept changing
But that should end after next week
π
And most importantly, good group chemistry, shit talking makes prog stress go away
I love my current static in that regard
Is it worth melding the ala mhigan crafter set at this point?
yes
k, didn't know if we were probably getting a new set soon
they've said we'll get another set but it won't be better than melded ala mhigan
it'll be like the carbonweave set
ah
asking veteran from 2.0, 3.0.
How good is the relic weapon back then? is it comparable to the current tomestone weapon?
I'm not sure, should I spent my tomestone for the weapon this week. since the relice weapon is on the horizon and I don't have much play time per day to grind them.
Should be comparable to the tomestone weapon, but not better than the raid weapon
Comparable to the not upgraded version
That is
do you mean the final step of the relic weapon or the first parts when they released on each patch?
So. It might as well be farmed with a secondary class then?
This step of the relic should be on par with the base tomestone weapon
Base as in mendacity or creation? Mendacity I guess? Or there would be no point
there's no info on current tier relic
we can still make educated guesses on what ilvl it'll likely be
and there's no way it'll be on par with creation ilvl
that's dumb as fuck
yoshiP said it will be relevant this time

Does 290 gear sell like, at all?
So its likely on par with mendacity then like i said
290 crafted?
yea
Ay
Just solo healed O5S with 85% dps parse
Entered with 1 healer 2 tank 5 dps so literally solo heal
It's a scary proposition when I'm able to teach a mechanic.
sooo. how many of you will continue to join lakshmi and susano runs if/when you have your dog?
I still don't have my dog yet
heck I don't have any birds either
I get made fun of daily for having no rare mounts T_T
I have all the ponies except for Levi and Titan, but only Sephirot and Ravana birbs and no doggos
Both of those (Levti+Titan) are easy to solo
Leviathan just requires holding DPS to make sure the ultimate doesn't kill you.
I think the first ult does ~40k damage.
If only my WAR was 70. ;-;
immortal warrior is being nerfed
equilibrium healing no longer benefits from the thingy
inner release/berserk
"An issue wherein using the warrior action Defiance followed by Inner Release guaranteed that Equilibrium restored critical HP. The guaranteed critical and direct hit effect only applies to attacks, not healing actions."
nerfed > quotes a bug fix
I will agree to disagree
It wasn't an intended interaction.
^
Much like how Raw Intuition used to make heals crit if you got healed from the flank/rear.
because shirk exists.
even though that only lasted like 2 weeks.
also the aggro lead you get from a regular SE + equi + thrill in unchained
is fucking NUTS.
But it still is a nerf
hell you don't even need to tomahawk
Because they can't do a thing as well as they could before
you just stack all the hate
Equilibrium already heals more than what my WHM can sometimes do. ;-;
meanwhile DRK has to stay in the penalties from grit, do an actual aggro combo
to get a decent lead
oh yeah and stance requires a GCD up
Which is honestly fine
oh yeah i'm not saying it' sbad
i'm just saying my god warrior gets all the shit
this isn't gonna be anything super meanginful
it's not like healers are acutally gonna heal me while i'm MTing anyway
It's good punishment for shitty tanks who can't hold aggro 
Kek
SE too scared to nerf WAR after what was 2.0 WAR
I honestly think that's okay
I just wish SE would decide what level of DPS/utilty tanks should have
Make IR only guarantee crits instead of dcrits
I think it's more like in a game like XIV you don't really have so much leeway to nerf jobs without creating severe issues regarding content balance
Maybe also decide on if they want VIT to add damage. π
Change weakness to a damage down instead
It's not like WoW where the whole group can basically parse green/grey and still clear Heroic raids in most cases
Damage/Healing down* but yeah
i would love vit scaling
Right yeah
to ensure that tanks have a more valuable damage stat
on every single piece off gear their pick up
if you cut back the endgame productivity of xiv jobs it's a lot more possible to end up with situations where groups that used to be able to clear a given piece of content can't anymore
especially this tier with its tight DPS checks
i do like the tigher checks though
Hell, I wonder if tanks would still be using Shire Slaying Accessories if SE didn't add STR to 4.0 fending accs.
i feel like it's more "svage" that way
Fucking probably
they would probably sub out to shire for speedruns
and vit melds li
LUL
actually kefka probably does way too much damage
those ultimas fk wreck your shit
meanwhile I'm pondering more mundane shit though like how to attract people to lakshmi and susano runs once they already have doggos
if u can meet those dps checks in i355 then its not tight
or say it's a parse run and you'll probably get a few suckers that way
i355 average play
(hrm are lakshmi accessories desynthable now? I can't check ingame atm and I'm not sure if the wikis that say no are still accurate or if they added it in later, could swear i saw desynth 320.00 on them though)
I heard
WoW has some difficult as fuck enrage checks on Mythic
but idk
might be tier dependent
isnt that mainly gear checks
i think for WoW it is skill checks too though
I heard it's harder to parse purple/orange in WoW
more so than gear checks
compared to FFXIV
yeah thought so. hmm, that makes lakshmi a gsm desynth goldmine then
idk im not an expert
i mean i thought gear was more of the "you're foot is now in the door, now get in fuckboi"
more so in WoW than ffxiv
@pure yoke it's more like "did you get specific RNG favors on your gear? No? No good parse for you"
imagine if all our gear was the pink aetherial stuff and you'd have an idea lol
wait are you serious
gear in FFXIV just makes sloppy play alot less punishing
like at the beginning of the tier, a death on God Kefka could basically mean you will not meet the check anymore
while now
you can have someone just drop dead a bunch of times
and still pass check
i mean when i was watching wacih
basically, some specs in WoW can't hope to parse well without getting very specific legendary items which are pure RNG
he seemed like a death on kefaust meant a wipe
oh wait his staitc was doing parse runs
nvm i'm stuipd
Gear is a much less luck based matter here in XIV, since the only endgame relevant gear with RNG that I can think of was the 280 weapons from Diadem during HW
really depends tho on the static
wasn't that the case for delta too though
I mean 2 chest runs will get you your 370 faster, but you don't have to worry about "is it 370 or is it 410 Titanforged" like snow-company game
i mean i know tera has rerolling lines of gear and shit
also player skill does matter alot
and if you didn't perfect roll you literally lost like 10% dps
aka healers that actually dps
makes the dps check less tight
healers that respect content is going to make your life difficult
@pure yoke is why i said if u can hit it in i355 then its not tight
if you cant in i370 then yes
here its very tight
it was super fun and i wish that happended more consistently
fight wasnt meant to be cleared in i355
do people parse run ucob?
but yeah we were mostly talking about the impact of nerfs in XIV vis-a-vis WoW
i would love to see what healers output in there
WoW has a great deal of headroom (outside of mythic maybe) for classes to be nerfed without it significantly impacting whether you can clear content
XIV, if you nerf the DPS output of a group they much more easily won't meet enrage anymore
holy shit, 2.4k SCH is 100%
therefore, there is much less capacity for nerfing outside of "buff everyone but that one"
the 54* WHM is 1.9k, jesus
no
jesus that's insane
probs dots
is it even possible to have 100% uptime
I died in Phantom Train today with 6.4k dps before death
yes
I dont even know how is 100% calculated
is it from the person that is #1 then down below?
#1 is 100%
Fucking nus
nuts, this is some advanced tech and shit
meanwhile i'm sitting here shitting in o5s
I like 5 more than 7
mostly because i don't play
I like Kefka more
7 is goes disco man for mnks
you're still likely doing better than I am
because Kefka is my only 100
and its WRYYYYYYYY each time he moves
I haven't parsed above green in sigma at all
like, by a fucking ballsack hair
seriously considering quitting if I can't get blue once
what do you play again? SAM?
what job do you play?
drg now
π€·
I can give you some of my prog logs
train* is omni though
when I ran with WHM
maybe is your opener?
so positional things aren't super an issue
I'm following the opener word for word from the balance discord
I think it's mainly gear and keeping uptime during mechanics
but 6k opener vs 10k opener is π
are you 350 ilevel?
356
