dull radish
hybrid rapids
Haha
hybrid rapids
It’s a common thing in ultimate you forgot your food
dull radish
but still clipped so hard
hybrid rapids
And forced to use it halfway
Pot at this point is for parse runner right?
Or player tried to optimize
dull radish
yeah generally
pure yoke
Pot can also be used if you are having trouble with some dps checks
fading widget
i honestly feel like
pots arent needed for enrages either
unless you're at min ilvl
dull radish
not needed strictly, no, but can help
like, imagine having a sub 1% wipe or something
and nobody used pots
sure, if people played better, you didn't need the pot
but if you folks had used pots, it might have made the difference
stable basin
Yeah like that one Shinryu run
We literally died to enrage with not even a pixel of the HP bar left sadness
The group disbanded right after because people were so bummed
dull radish
well I wouldn't pot ex primals
stable basin
Yeah it's the thing that only occurs in hindsight
I didn't use them on my o5s clear either... Not really sure it's worth it till o7s now?
dull radish
worth is relative
stable basin
That too, there's kind of a Murphy's law about that
dull radish
but yeah, in pugs generally don't pot until 7
at least at this point
mostly because I know I'll do a good bit more than anyone else even without them haha
stable basin
If you use them you'll clear enrage by miles anyway, if you don't you will hit it at 0.5%
stiff thorn
first time playing dps, any tips to improve?
ik i let my dots drop once bc im bad
too many buttons!!
lucid karma
I am no way good at BRD but you can try refresh DoT (iron jaw) before raging strike ends
so it snapshots
torn kindle
Barrage and Raging Strikes should always be paired together, they have a similar recast and Barrage greatly benefits from it.
stiff thorn
yea, i think i have a bad habit of holding barrage way too long waiting for refulgent
and it screws up the timing
lucid karma
if it's not up in few seconds just use it
torn kindle
Better to have a RS+Barrage Empyreal instead of a Plain Barrage Refulgent.
...I think.
stiff thorn
refulgent barrage will hit harder, but the longer you don't use barrage, the more dps you "waste"
lucid karma
so benefits from barrage
torn kindle
Also I don't think I see you opening with Foe's so that's another thing to do.
stiff thorn
i did tho !
but i could probably use another one sooner
mm actually maybe it doesn't matter that much because
i wouldn't get another full foe before lullaby anyway
heavy mist
👀
lucid karma
if anything you're not utilizing Raging Strike buff enough
barrage inside RS, fresh DoT inside and before RS ends
should improve your DPS
stiff thorn
yea i think
holding barrage too long screws up everything
and they stop lining up
torn kindle
F
lucid karma
it is, but RA is also RNG based, holding barrage for too long just for RA can be DPS loss
boreal edge
you only hold it until EA is up again
lucid karma
true
boreal edge
ok i looked
1st your dont refresh jaws be4 RS run out
also just 3 foes used in whole fight
which supposed to be closer to 6 usages
given how boss is kind to give you mp
boreal edge
dps loss to you yes
boreal edge
but not with accounting party
stiff thorn
yea ive been a bit pinchy with foe
lucid karma
this is very hmmm
lucid karma
well in good raid pt you want to use as many foe as possible
overall damage > your own
stiff thorn
i also only used refresh once outside opener
if i used off cd i could prob get more foe in
lucid karma
how
stiff thorn
lolidk
lucid karma
I thought DRG rotation is brainless as fuck
can't miss piercing if done rotation correctly
lucid karma
wew that's a big fuck up
lusty oak
insist on kicking him
stiff thorn
well either way ~ seems like i have a lot of prac to do before even pushing to orange !
maybe gear is a thing too, my brd is like i350
paper torrent
o6s is hard to do well in because most people have diamond/tome weapons now
lucid karma
i350 pushing that number is bretty gud
stiff thorn
yea, my static just started working on gkekfa last week :< so still no 375 weapons for a while
paper torrent
o5s does too so yeah
paper torrent
has the same problem so yeah*
lucid karma
oh yeah use pitch perfect before song ends no matter what stack it is
stiff thorn
i use it on 2 when we have crit buffs up
otherwise 3
though sometimes its weird
and i have like 3 stacks but
i dont want to clip
boreal edge
pitch perfect should be used even if you will end up clipping
boreal edge
those stacks are more precious than your gcds
i wont lie if i said
pitch perfect alone
make up close to 20% of your dps
i used to be stingy like you on foe usages
til i saw how foe requiem did more rdps than battle voice
i started to use it far more often
foe usages in o6s should be
1- at opener
2- right after 2nd possession with refresh up
3- before siren
4- right after siren
5- right before the hide behind stone possestion with refresh
6- as 2nd tank tornado pop
boss should be dead around that part
if not
you can get 1 extra usage before enrage
so 7 total
stiff thorn
oo ok, thanks for the tips !
thorny eagle
Try not to clip pitch perfect unless a dot tick is coming up which would make you overflow, if you're about to use EArrow and that would also make you overflow, or if you're dumping stacks and switching songs
thorn bear
for the 3rd graven imageit's always either
its always between
dps
and tanks/healers
its not like "oh 2 dps got sleep tether and tanks"
or "2 dps 2 healers"
hybrid rapids
which fight
paper torrent
i assume ex byakko
hybrid rapids
it take like 1~ second to apply
last 8 seconds
you have to look at that tiger's castbar and estimate it
won't be hard
paper torrent
i generally use it at 80%
hybrid rapids
pretty close
i would do that 80% too
better safe than sorry
anyway, that really depends on fight
byakko you only take 1 hit
so it's fine on 80%
sometimes you can only do it only 90% or right after it casted
the group take first hit and mitigate the following hits
paper torrent
if you're dying to state of shock though
someone is fucking up hardd
2nd tiger is a tank fuckup though 100%
stable basin
might as well get used to DPSing the 2nd tiger anyway
at higher gear levels it is unreliable to have LB3 at the right moment
... might be the first time since Levi that too much gear is a hindrance on an EX fight?
(maybe. i've read that specific levels of rdps can be a problem on shinryu also, but then the problem goes away at even higher levels of rdps)
hybrid rapids
idk, i haven't do susano / laskshmi / shinryu after 4.2 hits
not sure how much can you skip
stable basin
The problem with Shinryu is that with specific levels of RDPS you'll push phase at 23% during Reiryus
You don't want that, because the last 23% is a straight DPS race and the healers will still have to stop and take care of the reiryus at that point
will we even get to "kill byakko before tiger #2" before 80 unsync though
pure yoke
it's already done
stable basin
(we might, given the level of power creep ... last tier 4k dps was considered okay by most and now 5k is often considered bad)
hah byakko pugging is going to get really fun really fast LOL
will you need tank lb3? can you use tank lb3? will you even get tiger #2 at all? find out this time on Jade Stoa Extreme!
hybrid rapids
oh, it isn't an issue
you can take down without healer DPS
we did that back then when it was first released
too much DPS and pushed the phase
stable basin
I remember popping LB3 on a12s waaaayy too early
hybrid rapids
oh
that one is easy
at 4 seconds count down
use it
4 or 3 is fine
use it on 3 then
you are only taking 1 hit
but it's slow
that counting is trolling you
stable basin
yeah that a12 thing is just something else in terms of truck hitting lol
you pop LB3, and even with LB3 it slams you hard enough that you're practically back at having LB2
hybrid rapids
after it finished counting the animation take like another 3 seconds to actually hit?
stable basin
Do all tank LB3 last for the same amount of time?
hybrid rapids
yes
but some people hate DRK's
it block your vision
back in nidhogg we use lb 3 to cheese fight
and people was shouting
DRK NO, DON'T DO IT
in JP tho
stable basin
LOL
@hybrid rapids welcome to ffxiv server tick and its inconsistencies
especially its inconsistencies, omg
scenic patrol
Lol, but DRK lb3 is the best looking LB in the game
stable basin
e.g., orbs you grab on boss in temple of the fist? those register on contact
scenic patrol
And it's less vision blocking than RDM LB3
stable basin
orbs you have to grab on susano ex? you have to hug those for 3 seconds each
meanwhile byakko's aratama orbs ding you on contact, etc.
hybrid rapids
it block your vision then half group get hit by that group aoe
stable basin
I've only ever used RDM LB3 once, I forget what it looked like LOL
it was finishing off the final boss in WoD
stable basin
I remember the Summoner grumbling at me because he wanted to use it
stable basin
"YOU STOLE MY TERA FLARE" was what I remember LOL
hybrid rapids
AST literally fck your whole vision
i just googled it
omg
it fck whole party vision for like 3 seconds?
stable basin
yeah, but as a rule if you have to use healer LB3 it means you fucked up
stable basin
since I can think of fights where the tank one is necessary or often used, and plenty where the DPS one is used of course
but I can't think of any where the healer LB3 is a necessity, and usually that many deaths means you did something wrong (unless a4s sac strat?)
pure yoke
Healer LB3 is mainly for recovery
hybrid rapids
you have to dodge that aoe
hybrid rapids
and it block your vision
dull radish
caster LB on sephirot was the worst
hybrid rapids
^
pure yoke
BLM LB3
dull radish
generally have ranged do it in pugs
if party was decent though you'd just melee LB boss
pure yoke
why so for caster?
dull radish
the cast time + animation lock generally meant caster was getting hit by one of those AoE though
hybrid rapids
there was adds and a ball
dull radish
and if people were dumb and stacked with them, they usually died haha
dull radish
decent bit of damage + damage down stack
pure yoke
I still haven't done anything people consider "hard content" yet
hybrid rapids
the next moment he knew he fcked up when casted lb
pure yoke
I kinda lost motivation for ultimate pretty early on
hybrid rapids
don't have to follow people's standard
nothing is really hard in FFXIV
it's scripted
just take a lot practice
grizzled seal
do what is fun 
stable basin
yeah I'm not sure why there seems so much hivemind in XIV
I guess pugging would be even harder if there wasn't
stable basin
but yeah you hear about "during prog" like everyone starts and progs raids during the same time frame early in the tier
hybrid rapids
i can't stop laughing this
stable basin
and people acting as if there is not a current tier at all during the last couple months of one
hybrid rapids
it reminds me of sadness
pure yoke
consider these are people who seen dozens
if not hundreds of kills
by that point
I already have 90 logs in fflogs atm
and it's been like 10 weeks
stable basin
I wouldn't even be surprised if some are elitist enough to actually actively not want new people to start clearing savage at that point too
pure yoke
I probably spent like
stable basin
probably not really all that many, but likely some
stable basin
since then you're mixing people with one rocky clear into weekly pugs where the ones who did it week 1 or 2 can now clear in their sleep
some people probably hate that.
dull radish
you have such a tendency to overthink things
dull radish
yeah
grizzled seal
people jus want their weeklies without hassle in pugs
doesnt matter if you cleared week 1 or 10, aslong as you pull your weigth
pure yoke
you can't be picky in pf
hybrid rapids
it's like you can see people fall down when during confuse xD
too close to platform edge
stable basin
5S isn't too bad. 6S I have to try still. 7S pugging is apparently Midas levels of sanity breaking according to those I know who do so
grizzled seal
no
dull radish
what do you even mean, midas level of sanity breaking
stable basin
I mean I've seen people almost want to stop raiding altogether after trying to pug 7s
grizzled seal
lol
hybrid rapids
😖
grizzled seal
7s isn't really too bad
pure yoke
third fight of a tier is usually annoying to prog through
grizzled seal
well yea, because 1 and 2 are usually easier
hybrid rapids
it's a huge scale up from 2
grizzled seal
so the bads are stuck on 3
grizzled seal
while 4 pug base is a bit better
hybrid rapids
also, i think they lowered a lot the difficulty
dull radish
they did
grizzled seal
sigma and delta are quite easy i'd say
dull radish
yeah
hybrid rapids
i miss midas a7s
dull radish
I don't miss caster jail
steady pebble
they said they were quite happy with where creator was, in terms of difficulty, right?
dull radish
I have to sit there and let an add hit me while I watch my team keep padlock with 1% hp
stable basin
part of it i think too is that gordias and midas mechanics practically pushed the limits of what's even practical xiv architecture wise
a3s, a6s, and a8s are all known for mechanics that get incredibly fiddly due to the server tick system in particular
stable basin
isn't height error subject to server tick also?
dull radish
no
you're on the right panel or not
you have ages to be there
if you're on an edge or late, that's on you
pure yoke
I got server tick'd by abandonment in O7S
grizzled seal
they said creator was fine, they also said they'd make omega harder per tier
pure yoke
I think Godka is harder than Neo and Alexander
hybrid rapids
isn't communion puddle harder than 2nd forsaken as DPS?
dull radish
yeah
grizzled seal
Ya
pure yoke
also Godka dps check might be tighter than A12S check
stable basin
yeah a lot of people seem grumbly about the dps checks this tier
pure yoke
it's just the early weeks
stable basin
I don't remember this much salt about them in Deltascape, nor in ARR when I last played actively
stable basin
also is this midtier activity lull especially bad, or is this normal?
mid deltascape didn't seem to have nearly as much of a tail off
pure yoke
seems normal to me
dull radish
yeah it's pretty normal
there's still a good amount of activity, all things considered
hybrid rapids
a lot players gone inactive
dull radish
but yeah, still some folks just waiting out for ultimate now
hybrid rapids
after 4.1
a lot of my friends were late to raid this tier

i want to see an ultimate weapon ultimate

Gotcha. And drop rate wise?
worthy vigil
Cool thank you!
hybrid rapids
np
blazing pelican
Sephirot is also the last fight where falling off is perma death
Can make pugs iffy
hybrid rapids
depends on DPS
you can actually end the fight real fast
before the 3 punches
the problem is that green and yellow
it still instant kill if mistake
blazing pelican
I bet a proper raid group could down him pretty damn fast
hybrid rapids
1st is thordan
yea, we downed it right after the tornado
erm, ranger LB3 then ride the ball after
mug, you can try synced to fight
not need to do minimum ilvl

Sephirot is the only primal I haven't cleared yet

W/e the next one is will be the only one I haven't cleared
SB primals are ass and zero fun

I don't like hard primals

I feel like in general I tend to enjoy them, but there's always a phase or something that I don't
unreal lance
One aspect I don't like are the really long transitions that started in zurvan
Like yeah it's cool
pure yoke
I mainly just do savage
unreal lance
But takes me out of the game for no good reason
pure yoke
I kind of see Primals as a way to show off their budget
they certainly put alot more budget into primals
than actual raids
paper torrent
I wish more raids were voiceovered
unreal lance
I wish the game was fun for non raiders
wet stag
I wish they had voiced cutscenes for raid 
pure yoke
I pretend to be the voice actor
wet stag
I wanted to hear kefka's voice tbh
unreal lance
Maybe next tier I'll try to suffer through finding a group to raid with so I can do the "fun" part
pure yoke
the fun part is flaunting your fflogs

Mine are grey for sigma cuz I only tied it once as a fill in and had no idea what was happening

proven yarrow
what kinds of materia should i be looking into on pld
hybrid rapids
DH > Crit > DET
proven yarrow
so should i do something like dh right side, and crit/det left side?
paper torrent
For pentamelds it depends on the piece
hybrid rapids
are you going to do savage?
and preparing savage ready gear?
it cost you a lot tbh
paper torrent
First materia is always str for right side though
proven yarrow
i want to look into savahe
i have i355 so far just not sure what i should be melding and where
paper torrent
Mostly paladins meld DH = Crit > det > Ten> Sks
If you're a omni like me
You just meld crit instead because warrior exists
proven yarrow
can i not meld dh on right side?
paper torrent
Only if you do pentas
Str is always done for first slot gaurnteed even on crafted
25 str is fucking stronk
This is assuming you do that
scenic patrol
you never want to meld DH over melding STR
paper torrent
scenic patrol
STR is main stat while DH is substat
paper torrent
That assumes you're like me and poor as dirt
Also obligatory stolen from the balance
scenic patrol
also Crit>DH is also good if you have a crit comp
scenic patrol
which is DRG, SCH and BRD
paper torrent
Like the 360 boots
paper torrent
Crit is also better for people who warrior as well
proven yarrow
im still kind of confused on this
so every gear i have has 2 materia slots on it
or 1 slot
i should meld 1 str on everything, and 1 dh on anything with 2?
supple sail
Weapons and armour have 2 slots, belts and accessories have 1 slot.
If they're crafted they actually have 5 slots.
Anemos gear, Ultimate Coil Gear and WT three-lines rewards have 5 guaranteed slots but none of that is current BiS-level gear.
Gear has "caps" for each stat--a maximum amount of stat bonuses it can carry in that stat.
Weapons, armour and belts are capped on strength.
Accessories only have a little strength on them if you're a tank, there's room to meld some more.
So, weapon, armour and belt = meld DH
Accessories = meld strength.
proven yarrow
oh so str right side, dh left side?
supple sail
Yes.
azure hill
Though, arguably
If your left side is still 350, melding VIT might be worth it
Then switching it out for STR once you get a better weapon/left side
proven yarrow
i think its something i'll have to experiment with to find what works for me
paper torrent
Not for pld imo
Pld should OT
And then MT after ghosts
Pld has so much fucking mitigation that vit is just excessive
proven yarrow
well i think the str/dh meld let me kill the o5s sss thing
ok new question, what kind of raid food should i be looking into
azure hill
!item crimson cider
storm frostBOT
azure hill
This is the goto for most classes
Tako-yaki might be a good option too if you have a lot of DET
Persimmon leaf sushi or Onigara-yaki can be decent cheap alternatives
Everything adds up, so you're better off using some food than none
scenic patrol
Cryo, you can't fucking meld VIT on tanks
heavy mist
so since dots snapshot
does iron jaws for BRD snapshot the current buffs and reset with that?
azure hill
Yeah
heavy mist
i see

That's why you want to IJ just as Raging Strikes is wearing off

but the first dot wont have any buffs right
🤔
cause in the opener theres no buffs on the first dot since u open with it

oak parrot
Any recommendations on what to spend 1,170 mendacity on? I haven't tried raiding yet so I can't get the weapon tome. https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/character/18314074/
boreal edge
get belt as you seem to be working on full anemos set
with accs
the 5 melds on anemos making upgrade from i350 to i360 is somewhat questionable
depends on substats
also there is speculation that anemos set might get upgrade to i365/i370
in 4.3x
oak parrot
how hard is it to pug the raid that drops the prototype tomestone for the 360 weapon?
oh that would be 7 weeks regardless, may as well spring for the accs now
scenic patrol
O6S is the easiest savage raid this tier
But for tomestone weapon you just need to kill story Kefka 7 times
boreal edge
@oak parrot o5s and o6s should be easily puggable
tome drop from o6s
but getting i360 wep while you have i355 anemos is waste of tomes
you need o7s solvent to make it i370
so getting wep become worthwhile
but o7s is not-so-pug-friendly-fight
leaden lava
its pretty easy to pug now everyone has gear

O7S pugs can still be a mess, especially in learning/clear parties

any dominantly JP players online atm? 
wet stag
hi boss
desert trench
do you touch the jp players or just vohiyo
wet stag
uh ive pugged with jp players
desert trench
in my studies they seem to dislike warrior tanking in favor of paladin, and DRK seems to be the majority MT
do you know why this is
steep iris
nah, war is mt usually
desert trench
nearly every log I've reference pulled for o7s and above has DRK as the primary
split falcon
that sounds horrible
steep iris
ive rarely played with drks
wet stag
i wanna say its because they respect the hell out of tbn
but ive never pugged with another drk
split falcon
drk pulling over war 
wet stag
those are statics then
steep iris
war has the least dps loss from pulling in tank stance
split falcon
in that case it's not that bad
wet stag
if they swap early its def not pugs
desert trench
most swap post celestriad, or during
split falcon
in pugs that usually means MT = pulling from my experience
wet stag
pugs only swap when needed, but then they swap back
split falcon
because pugs don't know what swaps are
desert trench
I'm using the standard definition of MT/ST
split falcon
jp is probably different though
desert trench
primary/main tank, secondary tank
split falcon
yeah i know
wet stag
yeah emiin's asking about jp
desert trench
ye
split falcon
yeah i know
desert trench
this is not really a phenomena but seems incredibly significant
lowest dmg taken recorded so far is a content respecting the fuck out of drk
desert trench
they didnt use grit
split falcon
i can ask a jp player i know real quick
desert trench
by content rwspecting i mean actually using cooldowns and abusing the shit out of TBN
its low enough that it'll probably be an outlier in the dataset
azure hill
Ah, nice
desert trench
yeah these are all static groups I'm pulling due to the nature of random sampling
but
why is this
is there a why
desert trench
drk pulling is a small loss in potency
now paladin pulling, thats the shit tier one
primal oak
JP PUGs also very, very rarely shirk unless there is a tank swap
if the other tank even uses shirk at all it's auto-commend 
but that's just people being bad instead of actual common strat
primal oak
secrets for?
primal oak
idk, maybe it's a leftover from HW culture which highly favoured DRK MT
TBN is also stronger when put on self so they might prefer that for the higher mitigation
WAR misses out on the Vengeance damage, though 😦
desert trench
wet stag
jp has a higher focus on "safe" strats
even tho i know you dont think theyre safe
but it requires the least coordination imo
primal oak
maybe it was something peko wrote on her(?) blog months ago and people just follow it blindly
spice comet
Jp i thought they follow a particular set guide
primal oak
JP PUGs also have this problem where if a strat is put on a blog, gets a /p macro made for it, and it "works" in PUGs, that's the strat that will be done forever

yeah

wet stag
jp has shirking your co tank to take a buster unironically
spice comet
I mean makes sense but no voke shirk for just more aggro?
wet stag
i think so tbh
wet stag
ive had to stay in tank stance until first archangel
paper torrent
Tanking in jp sounds fun
spice comet
If u stay tank stance u can def keep aggro
wet stag
ur a drk/war?
spice comet
Whm gotta spam cure 3 like a crazy person to take it
wet stag
youre tanking the boss the entire way through
wet stag
blue dps
wet stag
and they take maybe one buster
spice comet
Very strangely but they can make up ur dps
spice comet
Yea that sounds fine just wondering how u deal with god but some shared busters and perma tank stance does work
paper torrent

The 3rd hyperdrive is after the ultima upsurge before we ascend to the 3rd statues?

worthy mirage

limpid ocean

split ocean
Having a rough time with something in fairly late game as a new SCH - anybody up to answering some questions in a side-chat? 😃
worthy mirage
should check out the balance if you want some good feedback
spice comet
Yeah for more in depth balance is better
zinc vortex
can the balance help mathematically solve my depression 
paper torrent
no that's too meta
zinc vortex
they're probably too busy stroking themselves over their purple parses anyway 
stable basin
Yay got my first orange parses today
The good thing is I've found my groove with rdm for sure
The bad thing is my groove is with rdm lol
spice comet
Theyre busy circle jerking and memeing to do math
dull radish
not too competitive, especially at this point haha
zinc vortex
getting there though
paper torrent
I mean it just means he can play rdm i guess
dull radish
yeah
steep iris
I have a healing orange parse 👌
steep iris
i heal carry in kefka and i steal aggro instead
spice comet
I feel like god kefka we learn differently i heal more and cohealer weaves in as much dps
also this was on 176 ping for me for this weeks clear, so rip heal carry ezer
sonic mesa
Do you have to have done delta savage to have sigma savage in your duty finder ?
sonic mesa
Can't find savage anywhere on the DF even though completed Sigma and spoke to the Magitek Terminal
pure yoke
look at High End Duty
thorn bear
Stealing aggro as a healer seems to be an issue with my last party
it honest to god seemed like my voke+shirks did nothing to help with aggro
fading slate
Anyone here able to help me figure out this ACT install?
fading slate
created an exception in windows 10 firewall, set the program to run as admin
Still throws the no network access and memory configured but not admin errors everytime I test network connection
I would allow it's specific TCP ports but I can't find where those are listed.
dull radish
that's a bit odd of an error, let me check a few things real quick
fading slate
I've googled it and every instance of it happening people just gave up and uninstalled.
I don't think malwarebytes will block it, but I'm checking that now
dull radish
it might, yeah, doesn't hurt to check
fading slate
The admin error is the weird one
I don't know what else to do but allow the program admin access in properties
Yeah I can't see anything here that'd block a TCP connection
I manually reinstalled the plugin.dll still nothing
I changed the folder to be non-read only, still nothing.
dull radish
you've tried/done most of the stuff I would suggest, mmm
fading slate
I'm going to disable the firewall all together just to rule it out.
dull radish
yeah
wet stag
Is this your first act install on this pc?
fading slate
Mhm
dull radish
do you have a filter on your IP in the FFXIV settings tab for plugins?
fading slate
I don't know
but shutting off the firewall let it through
So SOMETHING in Windows Defender's stupid-ass unable to be uninstalled even though it's total ass programming is blocking it
dull radish
sounds about right
fading slate
I did the usual, create a new rule, allow a program through the firewall, all connections bit
So I can't figure anything else I can do unless we know the precise TCP ports involved.
Well it's working but I'd rather not disable my firewall everytime I wanna use it.
Oh well.
thorn bear
When it comes to cover as an ability
does mitigation used by the person you are covering lower the damage you receive as the palladin?
wet stag
No
Unless the mitigation is something like uh
Tbn on you
Or if you're with another pld for some reason intervention on you
scenic patrol
Cover ignores both Hallowed and mitigation on the target
Hallowed can still be used in a combination with Cover though
For things like Head On
fading slate
Dumb question.
Use all my mendacity to get a belt upgrade now, my weakest slot 330-360, or wait another week and get a chestpiece, 340-360
fading slate
Chest is 27 more strength vs. 20
wet stag
Chest then
fading slate
Been basically doing sigmascape for tank accessories because I am too casual to pentameld stuff
And then just planning to do full 360 left side.
wet stag
Seems solid if you're just starting savage
stable basin
I switched mains, my mendacity goes to rdm now
fading slate
Eh not going into savage, just optimizing my causal-ass normie stuff
I'm trying to get the 355 anemos weapon, I hear it's better for a warrior than the 360
fading slate
Also looks way cooler. Uzumaki looks pretty dumb.
wet stag
Unless youre going for low ilvl speedruns specifically, which sounds dumb af, it's literally not even worth considering
stable basin
I'm actually often kind of a salty tank
fading slate
Well I mean, I'm gonna get it anyways for later artifact levels.
So if it's even as-good as the others, I'll save my sigmascape crystalloids for one of my other tank jobs
stable basin
Mainly because if I'm tanking a pug it's probably because I couldn't get a pug as rdm :/
Yes, I had someone lock out rdm from lakshmi last night. From fucking Lakshmi wtaf
scenic patrol
stable basin
Rekk I think you were there in the linkshell at the time actually
scenic patrol
I don't even see old Primals on my DC
fading slate
I was.
Yeah the dark knight sword is great, it's a giant nodachi
But the warrior axe looks like a giant fucked up war-spork.
narrow plover
stable basin
Wow Chaos doesn't do older content in pf?
scenic patrol
Pizza Cutter
And not much, I rarely see Primals aside from Byakko on PF
Unlike Aether
It's weird
Maybe it's my play time
Who knows
scenic patrol
Lol, good joke
Chaos using DF
Only DC that uses DF for savage/extreme is JP
They are an exception
scenic patrol
It won't ever work on NA/EU due to shitty mentality
People look too easily to blame others instead of themselves
So they don't learn
cerulean pilot
worthy mirage
ye
wet stag
I use cider bc my dhit is high enough
worthy mirage
also good, but keep in mind you aren't getting the full stats from it
worthy mirage
you can't get enough DH to gain the full bonus
worthy mirage
difference is very minimal so either food is fine imo
lavish cobalt
Reached lvl 70 and need i300 to progress with the MSQ
any idea where i could farm those?
paper torrent
two ways, you can try queueing for deltascape
if you just reached 70 though do your 70 job quest and get 290 left side and weapon
lavish cobalt
Alright thanks!

duty finder was populated for a9s and sophia. took 5 minutes to pop for a9 and instant for sophia. it died off immediately when cross world pf became a thing.
