hybrid rapids
#

yea...the worst part is the PLD said was my fault lol

#

then guys checked back the replay

lucid karma
#

ouch

hybrid rapids
#

if not definitely a kill

#

since had it down to 8%~9% before last 10 seconds cast

raw cliff
#

with that setup you can have an extra mitigation layer for every morn afah

hybrid rapids
#

๐Ÿ˜–

raw cliff
#

so if 1 thing is missing it won't kill

hybrid rapids
#

you can't

#

there's 5 of them

#

in 180~200 seconds frame

raw cliff
#

my grp did it with same setup so you can

hybrid rapids
#

can let me know your setup?

#

i was doing it in PUG

#

with few of my friends

raw cliff
#

1 extra layer for each one so people survive with like 20k if nothing is missed

hybrid rapids
#

your comp?

#

same?

raw cliff
#

same yea

hybrid rapids
#

i can't decide tho...

#

not sure how to add a layer

#

SCH

  1. adlo + deploy
  2. largesses + succor + soil
  3. succor + soil
  4. succor + soil
  5. dissipate + largesses + adlo + deploy
#

which part can i add an extra layer?

#

or use adlo deploy earlier?

raw cliff
#

it's grp cds

#

and where are cov and illum used?

hybrid rapids
#

caster 3 times addle?

raw cliff
#

yes addle lines up with shake

hybrid rapids
#

conv is for both adlo deploy

raw cliff
#

then you get 2 veils and passage

hybrid rapids
#

ahhh

#

we had only 1 veil

#

Or2

raw cliff
#

you probably don't want cov on each deploy

hybrid rapids
#

not necessary?

raw cliff
#

better to use it on the succor ones

hybrid rapids
#

they even asked me to dissipate for extra 20%

raw cliff
#

and got to have troubadour for one of the succor ones

#

or one with no addle+shake

hybrid rapids
#

2nd...and 4th....

#

where i did succor + soil only

#

true

#

thanks for advice !

raw cliff
#

it's really easy to have 1 extra mitigation on each one

hybrid rapids
#

yea, we planned it late

#

so only managed to use once instead of twice

#

then one small mistake = wipe

raw cliff
#

I think we veil 2 and 5

#

then passage 4

hybrid rapids
#

we got to golden bahamut 3 times in 1 set yesterday

#

1st wipe was that PLD reprisal

#

2nd wipe was WAR reprisal

raw cliff
#

got to plan better mitigation then

hybrid rapids
#

3rd is DPS died to exaflare

#

kms

#

so you're right

raw cliff
#

should never wipe due to 1 mitigation missing

hybrid rapids
#

reprisal miss twice

raw cliff
#

with all other shields and stuff up

hybrid rapids
#

need at least 30% mitigations each right?

raw cliff
#

yes

#

soil+reprisal is 20% already on each one

hybrid rapids
#

i actually used an extra fey cov

raw cliff
#

you have addle for 3 of them

hybrid rapids
#

so we managed to survive except physical DPS

#

fey cov only boost self magic defense

#

Or2

raw cliff
#

so if you addle+shake on 1, 3, 5

hybrid rapids
#

also shouldn't use LB3 on opener?

raw cliff
#

the shake is already an extra layer and you will survive those with the reprisal missing

#

then the only dangerous ones are 2 and 4

hybrid rapids
#

correct

raw cliff
#

make sure one of them is deploy adlo

#

and one is passage

hybrid rapids
#

we had shake it off

#

on like once.....

#

wtf....

raw cliff
#

shake should be 3 times

hybrid rapids
#

yea, i think that mitigations planning was bad

#

but it's actually my first time enter as SCH

#

so didn't sure with mitigations

#

thanks again !

pure yoke
#

meanwhile

#

I am like

#

what is ultimate

hybrid rapids
#

it's fun

#

when you're boring to wait for next ultimate

#

so you trap ultimate

raw cliff
#

it's what groups do when they realize SB speedruns/logs are RNG and garbage

pure yoke
#

I don't have a group willing to do ultimate

hybrid rapids
#

ask tiff to help

#

it's like around 1 month away

pure yoke
#

still alot of hours to prog

hybrid rapids
#

from 4.3?

#

some of my friend feels happy when they got past nael

#

they didn't aim for a clear

#

just wanted to see bahamut

pure yoke
#

I also get pretty stressed easily

#

from prog

hybrid rapids
#

i think the easiest way to destress is

#

turn off BGM

#

and have your own anime song playing

#

such relaxing progressing

pure yoke
#

I am also listening in voice

#

intensely

#

I also beat myself up everytime I make a mistake

hybrid rapids
#

w-wutt...

#

you gotta make yourself in hospital

#

if progressing ultimate coil

wet stag
#

Espresso I feel you

#

I wipe my godka raid so much

#

How do I keep fucking up forsaken 2

hybrid rapids
#

khliyh killed godka?

wet stag
#

Not yet

hybrid rapids
#

your job is tank?

wet stag
#

Yeah

hybrid rapids
#

which strategy you using?

#

south?

wet stag
#

Yeah

#

But I know how to do mid

hybrid rapids
#

usually fcked up on circle?

#

didn't get in on time?

#

or future/past?

wet stag
#

I still get confused with future/past lol

#

But I set up triggers

hybrid rapids
#

ahh

wet stag
#

Timeline I mean

#

Should be ok

hybrid rapids
#

b

#

yea, the cast was short

#

luckily PUG here mostly do mid hahaha

#

so i just follow them

wet stag
#

I'm more comfortable with south

#

Just because I've done it more

hybrid rapids
#

i think mid give better uptime

#

yeaa

#

south is easyy

pure yoke
#

I feel like

hybrid rapids
#

since you're close to your circle

pure yoke
#

everytime I wipe a raid

wet stag
#

Yeah

pure yoke
#

I am wasting everyone's time

wet stag
#

Same

#

Was especially bad since our pld is leaving

hybrid rapids
#

that's why i don't healer meld DH

wet stag
#

Wasting people's time + time limit

hybrid rapids
#

he going to leave before clear?

wet stag
#

I mean he cleared with pugs

hybrid rapids
#

i think as long as it's not repeated mistake again and again should be fine

#

ahhh

wet stag
#

Hi I'm a repeated mistake

hybrid rapids
#

drk

#

#

#

inb4 war replaced us

wet stag

I know too many people on Tonberry

pure yoke
#

I do want to clear ultimate

wet stag
#

And I'm not going through the fucking msq again

pure yoke
#

I just don't have the willpower

#

I feel like I am not good unless I clear ultimate

hybrid rapids
#

mug, you can do it on 4.3 as well

#

you're pretty good in optimizing your job

wet stag
#

They should be keeping the level sync

#

So no rush

hybrid rapids
#

ultimate is not hard, it's scripted

#

need more practices

#

but the optimization part is more important

wet stag
#

I also can't get purple on kefka

hybrid rapids
#

hmm

wet stag
#

Why am I bad

hybrid rapids
#

if you can do 3.4k at least

pure yoke
#

I'm pretty consistent in kefka

wet stag
#

I peaked at 3.6

#

Can get 3.5 regularly with pot

hybrid rapids
#

yea, that's pass-able

#

no worries

#

to get purple

#

you have to wait emiin clear the fight first

hybrid rapids
#

then ask for tips

wet stag
#

That

#

Consistency

#

Sorted by date btw

hybrid rapids
#

top is first?

#

or bottom is first?

wet stag
#

Top is first

#

The bottom one was yesterday

hybrid rapids
#

maybe there were some deaths

#

at least you tried

wet stag
#

No deaths

#

Well I think I died sometimes in my greys

#

But not all of them

hybrid rapids
#

uptime and rotations?

wet stag
#

My uptime is p good I think

hybrid rapids
#

maybe crit then

#

need more crit

#

and party synergy

wet stag
#

Wait how good is uptime with unreal strat

#

Because gravitas cucks me

hybrid rapids
#

wet stag
#

During gravitas?

To prep for aero

hybrid rapids

hybrid rapids
#

wet stag
#

Ah well

hybrid rapids
#

language barrier

wet stag

Aussie internet

hybrid rapids
#

!faq drkguide

storm frostBOT
hybrid rapids
#

read it

#

and be good

#

or wait emiin clear it

#

then ask for tips

#

but he haven't complete kefka yet

wet stag
#

Ive read the guide lol

#

So many times

#

Guess it couldn't hurt to read it again

hybrid rapids
#

yea

#

understanding and practical

#

is 2 different part

wet stag
#

Oh there we go

#

There's a dark arts there

paper torrent
#

O NO

#

DARK ARTS

#

MY MORTAL ENEMY, NOT HAVING MANA TO TBN

wet stag
#

I kept forgetting the da in between ps and hs

paper torrent
#

oof

#

it's okay it feels nasty anyway

wet stag
#

Capping mp feels worse

#

Which I do

#

Constantly

paper torrent
#

i dunno

#

just using DA

#

to get more aggro

#

feels wrong

wet stag
#

140 potency lost

#

Sucks but it's whatever

#

It's not even a plunge

paper torrent
#

I know but it's just a psychological thing

#

give DRK better aggro mangement k thx

#

or you know, just give me a warrior

#

so i don't have to pull

wet stag
#

It's like

#

5 dps loss

#

ยฏ_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

paper torrent
#

but

#

the loss

#

is my sanity

wet stag
#

Negligible

paper torrent
#

you rite

#

time to DAPS all year

wet stag
#

Once you daps 5 times

#

That's a 50 dps loss

#

Starts getting significant

#

So dont

paper torrent
#

do DRKs ever win

#

DADM?

wet stag
#

They win in my heart

#

Yeah dadm is sick for triple diffractives during biblio

paper torrent
#

i wish i liked DRK in raids better than paladin

#

i acutally kinda like req+FoF

#

makes an interesting rotaiton

#

where you're like, okay req, now FoF, and DoTs

wet stag
#

Yeah that's fair

#

Idk I see drk as a rhythm game

#

You follow the same steady beat of hs ss se

#

But you're doing so much else at the same time

#

Carve, salted, tbn etc

stable basin
#

I've been less enthusiastic about tanking lately than I used to be

wet stag
paper torrent
#

it's okay

#

i'm kinda of the same way

#

it's why i'm unsubbing soon

#

just wanna take a break from it all for a bit

stable basin
#

rdm, on the other hand, is love

#

except for douchebag pug leaders that lock it out

paper torrent
#

does that acutaly happen

#

i usually see it up

stable basin
#

@paper torrent I saw it happen on fucking Lakshmi of all things last night

paper torrent
#

WHAT

stable basin
#

they locked out all casters but SMN

paper torrent
#

THE FUCK?

#

LMAO

stable basin
#

... yup.

#

Then I got kicked after the first run for changing job to RDM lol

paper torrent
#

"Lakshimi ex is a hard fight, we need to enforce the meta for muh speed clears"

#

i would join

#

switch to rdm

#

and then wait till they kick me

stable basin
#

proven yarrow
#

er whats the best 370 tank accessory to get if i can only get 1

wet stag
#

Get crafted if you can afford it

#

Otherwise the one with most crit

blazing pelican
#

the earrings I think

proven yarrow
#

crafted ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

#

wouldnt ring be best, it has crit and it replaces a 350 ring im currently wearing

wet stag
#

Crafted Penta is bis for tank accs

proven yarrow
#

isnt it a bit late into the tier to do that though?

heavy mist
#

uh its BIS for tanks

#

i mean it doesnt get outdated for them until 4.4

#

๐Ÿค”

wet stag
#

Yeah you have 4-5 months

proven yarrow
#

oh ok

wet stag
#

For it to stay bis

tough knot
#

Which kind of materia is considered useless for the most part?

hybrid rapids
#

none

#

you can transmute it

lavish cobalt
#

Hey guys just reached 70 yesterday, some people advised me to go get i300 from the dungeons but can't i just join eureka?

hybrid rapids
#

you can

#

do you have your AF3 yet?

#

290

#

accessories i think is fine

tough knot
#

lol let me rephrase that: which materia are recommended to be transmuted?

lavish cobalt
#

what does AF3 mean?

steady pebble
#

main stat materia, outside of like vitality, should be transmuted

lavish cobalt
#

I did get some i300 acces from the lvl 70 dungeons

hybrid rapids
#

STR ><

steady pebble
#

AF3 = artifact gear 3 so the job gear you get from your lvl 70 job quest

#

oh yeah str also can saved/sold

lavish cobalt
#

O i got that yeah

tough knot
#

So Dex/Int/Mind materis then?

steady pebble
#

yeah. i personally also transmute piety and tenacity materia but you might get some money from that

hybrid rapids
#

@lavish cobalt unless you wanna do a leech, just afk and wait people to trigger eureka
but you are a fresh Lv.70, try to experience the eureka as a player first

#

it's mixed comment of good and bad

lavish cobalt
#

Xd sounds pretty badmannered to leech but i wanna test it out

#

Heard of a t-rex mount and relic gear

#

.>

hybrid rapids
#

it isn't ban-able

tough knot
#

Eureka's alright but it could be better

hybrid rapids
#

just people hates you

#

haha

tough knot
#

I mean if you're a lowbie in Eureka it's understandable

#

Since everything can one-shot you

lavish cobalt
#

ooff uhm would you guys suggests lvl 70 dungeons or eureka? ._.

hybrid rapids
#

eureka if you've completed your Lv.70 job quest

lavish cobalt
#

Alright thanks!

hybrid rapids
#

enjoy !

azure hill
#

The level 70 dungeons give pretty bad gear

#

You need 310 to get into the ones that drop 325 gear

#

And running the first one repeatedly for 300 gear is a waste of time

#

Especially considering killing Eureka NMs give tomestones

lavish cobalt
#

is there an eureka guide for beginners?

hybrid rapids
#

no

#

i can give some tips

#

it's like palace of the dead

dull radish
hybrid rapids
#

ohh

#

that's like

#

i was going to say how to hide from monster

lavish cobalt
#

what are the tips luna

#

i just died multiple times trying to explore the map a bit ._.

boreal edge
#

@lavish cobalt its palace of the dead metal gear solid ver

#

i say leave exploring last

#

it will happen on its own while you are levelling

spice comet
#

Exploring is a bit hard at first, basically enemies have a small range if u go behind their back they wont see u, some will tho base on stuff like hp, whether u run, walk, follow the nm train is safest option

#

But yea exploring takes more skill, ull see the map anyways doing nms

azure hill
#

It's also notable that the monsters have different kind of aggro

#

Some have sight aggro, but the sprites have magic aggro (i.e. if you cast Verraise) and the fans have sound aggro iirc

#

Some even have blood aggro, where they won't care about you

#

But if you take damage, it's dinnertime ๐Ÿด

spice comet
#

Yep low hp=ur screwed its the wraiths n stuff

azure hill
#

I think for sound aggro it's fine to walk but not to sprint?

#

Or maybe it was the sprint cast itself that triggered stuff trying to eat you

dull radish
#

you need to specifically walk, not run or sprint

spice comet
#

Yep

#

Sound must walk

#

U run past u still ded

rapid grove
#

For the weekly restrictions on savage

#

say I haven't clear o5s/o6s

#

#

untold oyster
#

Yee

boreal edge
#

@untold oyster why the elitist answer questions?

untold oyster
#

Because a true elitist wants people to do good and improve

boreal edge
#

@untold oyster no the real elitist trashtalk ppl below 99%

lavish cobalt
#

Should i follow a nm train as a lvl 1 in eureka?

boreal edge
#

yes

lavish cobalt
#

Alright thanks!

boreal edge
#

note that try not aggro anything

#

they will auto you for 300k

lavish cobalt
#

Ahh thanks for the tip, i've seen it on twitch a couple times yeah big dmg numbers :p

dull radish
#

mmhmm, folks are generally good at ressing and helping newbies along with the train, just try to keep with the group as much as possible

dammit what happened to pfs for individual turns for savage

#

now like everything's asking for you to be able to weekly 6 or 7 in addition to 5

spice comet
#

Weeklies paissasquint

#

Also easier cause one pt for 3 versus finding mems each time

stable basin
#

Also has no dupes become an obsession to the point of meme since Byakko?

#

I'm seeing it in O5S still, I've also seen it in Lakshmi (that's what the leader claimed as the reason for not wanting RDMs to join, "we have one" LOL)

spice comet
#

Savage is more for lb, since dps checks in pug o7s still somewhat tight

#

And idk yea byakko memes does influence things or the pf was just bad they needed that lb

dull radish
#

I see folks lock out duplicate jobs more than they lock out things like casters or SAM or whatever, which I find a bit more preferable, nice change of pace

stable basin
#

well, from my experience tanking (since I was forced to tank thanks to that damnable leader) that lakshmi the other night, everyone in the group seemed to hate each other

#

because we got a clear without wipes and then we disbanded lol

#

now I tell friends don't join that person's pfs :p

spice comet
#

Yea dup job lock outs have been more common which means more dps so ill take it

stable basin
#

the ironic thing being that no dupes on byakko is becoming a dead strategy

spice comet
#

Its hard with dups

#

No dups byakko is ez

sullen sable
#

You have to actually gasp do mechanics

spice comet
#

Cause lb and ppl cant dps tiger, i did a dups pt byakko but that was with high dps

#

U cant do that normall with pugs cause gasp dps

stable basin
#

yeah but soon you're gonna have to

spice comet
#

When a pug avg is barely 19k aka mininal for byakko yea

#

paissasquint nah ppl just gonna keep it locked

stable basin
#

since unless you have a sch and/or noct ast and thery know exactly what to do, from what I understand at higher gear levels you don't get lb3 reliably

spice comet
#

Nope

#

Lb 3 u always get

#

If no dups

dull radish
#

it'd be different if it was an HP transition

#

but it's just time

#

so unless you have dupes or do it unsynced

#

it won't matter

spice comet
#

If u want lb3 in dups we found it was 2 ded and lotta critical hp healing

#

paissasquint unreliable strats

stable basin
#

that's what I mean, I've had people mention that at 360-370 gear levels there starts not being enough incoming damage

dull radish
#

you misunderstand how LB works

#

you always gain some over time when you're in battle

#

you get more if you cheese LB with critical shielding/healing/stuns/silences

#

but that no-dupe LB gen is fixed

#

and is enough on its own to get LB3 in time

spice comet
#

No....

#

Like....yea

#

We get lb3

#

We were all in 360-370 ilvl from raid paissasquint

dull radish
#

the only time higher ilvl would matter is if you specifically relied on critical healing/shielding for it to be up

pure yoke
#

Just skip the tiger

dull radish
#

but you don't for that

spice comet
#

When we had 2 drg u need crit hp lol for lb3

#

So we killed our drg

hmm, is no dupes an expected assumption for o5s weekly parties if the job slots aren't locked, or only if it specifically claims so in the pf description?

#

i'm not sure if i'm supposed to join a pf that has an rdm already even if it doesn't specify

hybrid rapids
#

join in and ask

#

it will slower the LB build tho

#

but i guess it doesn't matter for o5s

stable basin
#

also hrm do i start another lakshmi group or do i suck it up and tank the one that's 6/8 missing both tanks lol

i get grumpy lately when i have to tank shit when i wanted to rdm it

it's probably not a fully logical thought, but in such cases it seems invariably one group is chill and awesome and the other is salt city

by which I do not mean the place in Utah, mind you. Salt LAKE City is a super chill and friendly place.

hybrid rapids
#

i can't tell which group is it

#

it's varies on data center and players

eh. you can't tell which group is the good one until you join it

#

If it's something like double healer you're going to ask some questions

stable basin
#

also seriously is even post-midnight tuesday night too late for a good weekly group anymore?

#

did i need to stay up till 3am last night instead?

#

mind you, this is my first week of having any weekly runs for sigma savage

steep iris
#

nope

#

too late is more like monday

pure yoke
#

you need to be up for prime time

#

there seems to be plenty of 2 chest parties on pf atm

stable basin
#

so pretty much, morning and late night groups are garbo?

#

better even to wait till thursday seeing that I work tomorrow also?

pure yoke
#

you just have to be patient

#

but it does fill

#

even at weird times

#

just do it early in the week

stable basin
#

yeah, I got a group that filled and it wiped like 6-7 times

steep iris
#

you're not always confirmed to get a good group

#

that being said, when I was pugging my weeklies 3-5 wipes for 5s and 6s clears were the norm

stable basin
#

I've been generally told that once you get duty complete you generally get good weekly groups on tuesdays

#

yeah this healer kept failing mechs apparently too

pure yoke
#

it's still a roll of the dice

stable basin
#

i don't know what it is about healers and failed mechs

#

but it seems like they're the ones that mess them up the most

pure yoke
#

you also have to consider that players generally check the fflogs of the party leader as a clue

#

whether it's accurate or not

steep iris
#

I never did that ๐Ÿ‘€

stable basin
#

like I'll never forget that Titan HM where the one healer sailed off the side 3 pulls in a row (I was MT, and the main reason there were three pulls was because of that fact, LOL)

#

people do?

#

i look for "is it 2 chest weekly duty complete?" "is there room for a RDM?" "is the ilvl requirement higher than 353?"

#

if yes, yes, and no, in i go

#

also this is only the second such group i've joined this tier since clearing 5, and both leaders were healers so fflogsing probably isn't all that useful anyway

#

i'm pretty sure healer fflogs are too dependent on how well the others in the group were doing

steep iris
#

I mean yeah, if your party isn't fuckin up mechanics of course they're gonna have better dps

quaint hill
#

how do ppl know wat corner ultros is gonna spawn in o7s

steep iris
#

depends on which comes first

paper torrent
#

I cleared first two fights last week at Friday at 7pm pst

#

So....

steep iris
#

and 2nd ultros will spawn at the opposite corner

paper torrent
#

Tuesday is defintely not too late for weeklies

steep iris
#

so if it spawns at NE, next spawn is SW

#

spawns at SE, next spawn is NW

quaint hill
#

kool nvr knew that

stable basin
#

there seems fewer groups tonight than it seems like there should be

steep iris
#

it's just late

#

2am for east coast rn

quaint hill
#

so then using ur example, how would u know 1st ultros is gonna spawn ne

paper torrent
#

There was like, 27 o5s parties

#

Like 3 hours ago

steep iris
#

daddyluma first NE/SW

#

biblio first SE/NW

quaint hill
#

oo its based on wat program he uses 1st...

#

interesting ty

paper torrent
#

Son of a bitch that's a lot of fucking mechs

pure yoke
#

it doesn't happen all at once

boreal edge
#

@quaint hill if its ultros load 1st he will spawn at NE then at SW / if its airforce load 1st he will spawn at SE then at NE

#

nvm too late answer

#

@steep iris you dont belong here honest healer only tainted healers here

paper torrent
#

O O F

steep iris
#

but

#

it takes a lot of effort to respect content

boreal edge
#

you just dont respect it

stable basin
#

also are the good groups for o5s now mostly the ones that ask for 6 and/or 7 too and the ones that are just 5 aren't so great anymore?

paper torrent
#

mostly just o6s

#

o7s is a shitshow

#

the general rule is

#

if it's a weekly they'll ask for o5s and o6s

#

o7s weekly as well is usually reserved for static

#

most of them that can clear o5s can generally clear o6s with no problem

#

to answer your question, yes generally

#

however some that are just doing o5s may just be doing it because of time reasons

#

although that's generally rare

#

good groups more so run all they can at reset than later in the week

stable basin
#

so pretty much if I work Monday and Tuesday evening I either have to stay up till 3AM, take another 0-1 chest Learning Party for 5 even though I've cleared as my weekly, or join a 5/6 even though I haven't even touched 6?

#

a tuesday night just-5 group probably will be a waste of my evening, like these two have been so far?

paper torrent
#

the longer you wait the more you gamble

boreal edge
#

i do find ppl looking for 2 chests in weekends

paper torrent
#

log scum peope

boreal edge
#

and it fill up

paper torrent
#

i've cleared on saturdays before

#

i legit had a group that almost single pull killed both o5s and o6s

stable basin
#

but ... pretty much better to join a o5s/o6s group even when you haven't cleared 6?

paper torrent
#

ask first if it's okay to leave

stable basin
#

unless you have tuesday evening off or can stay awake till 3am on monday?

paper torrent
#

after the o5s

stable basin
#

6 doesn't look too hard to fake your way through anyways lol

boreal edge
#

o6s is o1s

paper torrent
#

it really isn't

#

but people are gonna be like

#

"wtf you haven't cleared"

boreal edge
#

you can easily clear it as long u know your rot

stable basin
#

someone hasn't cleared

#

the time I cleared O1S for the first time I joined a 2 chest weekly group for it

boreal edge
#

which 70% of ppl dont

stable basin
#

no one was able to figure out who hadn't cleared

boreal edge
#

like the 1800 dps pld i had

paper torrent
#

you can easily tell who hasn't cleared

stable basin
#

actually, the people who were erring were the ones who had cleared LOL

#

as far as anyone could tell, I was the real deal

#

I walked the walk

paper torrent
#

most people have gear from o6s from a weekly

#

or look up logs

lusty oak
#

just accept that u will never get a fucking drop in savage and go for book parties

paper torrent
#

^

#

that's also totally an option

#

i mega pig luckered this tier though

boreal edge
#

@lusty oak not everyone is as unlucky as you

paper torrent
#

i got 4 peices of 370 in 4 weeks

stable basin
#

hmm, can I actually hope to fill if I start one myself, with only one clear and a bad parse (since it was also my first time in for more than 15s pretty much)?

boreal edge
#

oh btw

stable basin
#

or are people not going to join such a group?

heavy mist
#

i got 0 in 4 weeks

lusty oak
#

@boreal edge i got body in first kill haha

heavy mist
#

its okay

#

/pet

boreal edge
#

we lost one chest in o6s because our drg dced be4 killing it

paper torrent
#

most people look up logs

#

of the leader at least

lusty oak
#

but yday was a shitshow, i saw aiming ring and helmet that i bought with books in prior weeks

boreal edge
#

im bis til i kill o8s for now

#

tasty 2500 crit

paper torrent
#

I mean you could try hosting

#

and see if it fills

#

if you play MT in o6s though

#

hooly shit

#

so fucking free

stable basin
#

depends, do they look up logs if there's only 1-2 groups even up?

#

or only to decide between multiples?

paper torrent
#

yes

#

it takes you legit

#

20 seconds

pure yoke
#

you know

paper torrent
#

to look up everyone in the party

pure yoke
#

I really only look at logs

#

if they are like

#

"GOOD DPS OR KICK"

stable basin
#

basically, should I hope anymore for 2 chests this week?

#

or not till next 2 weeks when I can catch my buddies with their 5/8 static?

paper torrent
#

if you do it tommorow

#

you could 2 chest and reasonably expect to clear

boreal edge
#

@pure yoke how about rdm saying good dps and he dies in every kill and parse grey?

stable basin
#

so pretty much if you have a bad parse, don't expect people to join you even if there are no other groups?

#

they'll pass the night altogether instead?

pure yoke
#

no

boreal edge
#

fflogs isnt used as much as ppl exagerrate here

pure yoke
#

I mean if they have requirements

#

higher than themselves

stable basin
#

also, l2 cherrypick logs or suffer?

boreal edge
#

i can safely tell you

stable basin
#

i'll note that people don't do the same in WoW, I'm not sure why FF treats it so much more like a business

boreal edge
#

80% of ppl killed o5s and o6s dont have logs

stable basin
#

I mean people check wowlogs but not as stringently

#

also generally speaking wow players upload every run religiously regardless of how good or bad, while here there seems a much more active effort to pad resumes

paper torrent
#

i dunno... i've forgotten to turn act on for like 3 of my o5s kills

#

and they still show up

pure yoke
#

means

#

someone uploaded

paper torrent
#

so i think it's maybe a little less than 50%

#

yeah, and 7 people in a run

#

besides you

#

chances are pretty high SOMEONE is going to upload a log

boreal edge
#

not really

stable basin
#

tbh, my requirements are generally just "can clear the damned instance"

#

I could hardly care less about if it's a speed run or a parse run or a people on speed run

#

just CLEAR THE BLOODY INSTANCE

paper torrent
#

i mean it's your first clear

stable basin
#

second.

#

first attempt at doing an actual 2 chest weekly.

#

but last week was my first clear, and since i didn't have to go learning party and then clear party, I cleared with a 9 parse (the other person whose first clear it was is also grey)

paper torrent
#

how the fuck

#

did you get a 9 on a clear

stable basin
#

should I be writing off 2 chests the 2nd week too as a resume padder before trying to do proper weeklies?

paper torrent
#

what were your two parses

#

is there improvement?

boreal edge
#

its still 1st day on reset while most decent ppl already cleared for the week but you gonna still find ppl

paper torrent
#

i mean for fuck sake i legit two chest cleared last week on a fucking friday

boreal edge
#

2 chests in weekend

#

i saw it happen

paper torrent
#

i've had it happen to me too

#

as you parse higher it's easier to carry

#

particuarlly o5s

boreal edge
#

monday 2 chests is a meme tho

paper torrent
#

oh yeah 100%

#

monday is way too fucking alte

#

not even worth your time even if you had nothing else to do

boreal edge
#

if u didnt clear til monday

#

might as well get token better than nothing

paper torrent
#

parse runs on a monday though....

boreal edge
#

hope i400 aiming chest have retarded stats

paper torrent
#

i've seen some stupid SHIT.

#

MONDAY PRASE RUNS.

#

Tops the fucking cake

#

i already know that party is probably trap

boreal edge
#

tbh

#

trap parties are more successful than actual clear

#

those who say TRAP party

paper torrent
#

i mean at least for o5s

stable basin
#

I haven't had my second clear yet, so I don't know how it's going to parse

#

I've had two hours of 2-chest weekly parties that have been all wipes

paper torrent
#

oh you made it sound like you had two parses

stable basin
#

from people failing mechs, not from enrage

paper torrent
#

what class

stable basin
#

only once was "do we have the dps" even asked lol

#

RDM

paper torrent
#

and you parse 9%?

stable basin
#

on my very first clear, where I was still getting used to mechs?

#

like I said, I didn't have the usual learning into clear party cycle there

paper torrent
#

casters can coast in o5s

stable basin
#

so the clear showed the parse effects of a learning party

paper torrent
#

what are you parsing

stable basin
#

I'm guessing you should actually make a point not to clear on your learning parties?

paper torrent
#

in your runst hat you wipe

stable basin
#

because you need that parse, parse is everything in FF?

#

it seems like that is the generally adopted attitude in savage

#

it was never like that in WoW, not even that much in Deltascape

#

but this tier, it's like "you are not a player, you are a set of fflogs"

paper torrent
#

right so you learned the fight and cleared

#

what are you parsing now?

#

o5s is a back ended fight

#

the longer it goes on the more mechs happen

#

the more dps you do, the less chance you have to wiping to mechs

stable basin
#

yeah I've noticed my DPS drops over the course of the fight

#

when I looked it started out at 7k+ on the opener and then dropped to 3.5 on dragged-on pulls

#

which were full of deaths by party members though

#

it seems more we're getting people that can't handle mechs, we haven't even got as far as enrage

paper torrent
#

4.5k

stable basin
#

but what, I'm supposed to be hc enough now that on week 2 I show the parse of someone who's cleared 9-10x?

paper torrent
#

is a 50 percentile

stable basin
#

(my week 2, anyways)

paper torrent
#

okay okay

#

25% is 4k flat

#

4,091.56

#

you should be using those numbers to make sure you're doing proper dps

stable basin
#

... I'm guessing that's why elitists don't want people getting into Savage late too though, they want to have duty complete expect multiple clears with improving parses over the time?

#

and people like me getting in week 9-10 without having come close to perfecting things are ... exactly what they're trying to get in and get out ahead of :/

paper torrent
#

besides you're RDM, if people fuck up to mechs you have a res

stable basin
#

"we have it cleared and farmed before you townies get past the first mechanic" was what one famous elitist on gamefaqs put it

#

whatever the fuck townies are, I've only seen that term used in Mafia

boreal edge
#

gamefaqs?

#

is that site still alive?

#

last time i used it was in 2003

stable basin
#

yup

#

there's this one guy called benjjjamin there who's a notorious elitist

#

hates people getting into minstrel's ballad or savage late

#

thinks people who don't parse purple should quit, pretty much

#

(never mind that people only parse purple because of the 75% of players below them, natch LOL)

#

like lol can you imagine if only the top 10% of raiders raided anymore, oh that 90% parse from last tier, that's a grey now enjoy the feels xD

paper torrent
#

...?

boreal edge
#

well there will be always grey peeps

stable basin
#

well, it's a percentile, so if everyone who didn't parse 90%+ stopped raiding, the current 90% would be 1%

boreal edge
#

even if all do average performance

#

at least

stable basin
#

in any case, it seems like ff folks are a lot more fixated on parses than wow ones

#

i'm not sure if that's true, or why

#

I'm guessing the Legion legendaries are a chief reason for the skew

boreal edge
#

thats not true

#

wow relied on dps checks more than ffxiv do

stable basin
#

that's why I say legion affected it

#

legion has the legendaries which are heavily luck based, really purely luck based

#

so content has to be clearable without bis legos but they heavily affect percentile

boreal edge
#

the problem is

#

ffxiv does poor job teaching you how to play your job

paper torrent
#

the thing is even with that

#

it's kinda implied in most mmos the meta way to play is probably not the way you've been playing before cap

#

so what do you do, especially for a big game like this?
