yea...the worst part is the PLD said was my fault lol
then guys checked back the replay
ouch
with that setup you can have an extra mitigation layer for every morn afah
๐
so if 1 thing is missing it won't kill
my grp did it with same setup so you can
1 extra layer for each one so people survive with like 20k if nothing is missed
same yea
i can't decide tho...
not sure how to add a layer
SCH
- adlo + deploy
- largesses + succor + soil
- succor + soil
- succor + soil
- dissipate + largesses + adlo + deploy
which part can i add an extra layer?
or use adlo deploy earlier?
caster 3 times addle?
yes addle lines up with shake
conv is for both adlo deploy
then you get 2 veils and passage
you probably don't want cov on each deploy
not necessary?
better to use it on the succor ones
they even asked me to dissipate for extra 20%
it's really easy to have 1 extra mitigation on each one
yea, we planned it late
so only managed to use once instead of twice
then one small mistake = wipe
we got to golden bahamut 3 times in 1 set yesterday
1st wipe was that PLD reprisal
2nd wipe was WAR reprisal
got to plan better mitigation then
should never wipe due to 1 mitigation missing
reprisal miss twice
with all other shields and stuff up
need at least 30% mitigations each right?
i actually used an extra fey cov
you have addle for 3 of them
so we managed to survive except physical DPS
fey cov only boost self magic defense
Or2
so if you addle+shake on 1, 3, 5
also shouldn't use LB3 on opener?
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
correct
shake should be 3 times
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 !
it's what groups do when they realize SB speedruns/logs are RNG and garbage
I don't have a group willing to do ultimate
still alot of hours to prog
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
i think the easiest way to destress is
turn off BGM
and have your own anime song playing
such relaxing progressing
I am also listening in voice
intensely
I also beat myself up everytime I make a mistake
khliyh killed godka?
your job is tank?
Yeah
ahh
b
yea, the cast was short
luckily PUG here mostly do mid hahaha
so i just follow them
I feel like
since you're close to your circle
everytime I wipe a raid
Yeah
I am wasting everyone's time
that's why i don't healer meld DH
he going to leave before clear?
I mean he cleared with pugs
it's because you haven't got your 375
Shouldn't matter
wait, is it BiS?
i...i just tried to comfort drk pal....
I mean thanks, but it's just bc I'm bad
my DRK isn't raid ready Or2
ilvl 340 BiS
just kidding
i have no crafted pentas
kms
Me neither
I have one triple one quad
Wait I have 1 Penta nvm
But the rest are diamond
i thought we were non-penta friend
I have no money lol
just a trap when i get boring
Spent it all on pots and food
i have no money
people here are self-sufficient
and my house
Wait tsun what dc are you on
Oh
i craft you food
I know too many people on Tonberry
I do want to clear ultimate
And I'm not going through the fucking msq again
ultimate is not hard, it's scripted
need more practices
but the optimization part is more important
I also can't get purple on kefka
hmm
Why am I bad
if you can do 3.4k at least
I'm pretty consistent in kefka
yea, that's pass-able
no worries
to get purple
you have to wait emiin clear the fight first
then ask for tips
uptime and rotations?
My uptime is p good I think
w-wut
To prep for aero
Elemental pug is either east/west tho
east is for line strat
wait
That's unreal
Line
ahh
Yeah
so try your best !
After we do weeklies on Wednesday that's it lol
Isnt it the same
oh..right
Ah well
language barrier
At least people understand when I shitpost on elemental
Lmao
because more than 95%
So many jp onry on elemental
is a JP
You know how to spot the trap parties in elemental yeah?
erm..nope
The description is in english
I'm not even kidding
Yeah
I've had maybe
2 good E parties
Since the beginning of this tier
Was a wipe
I think it was first head on?

i can tell most english players on elemental
has bad latency
at least they tried
most 1~3 parties are bad now
Hahaha yeah
good players already have 4 on farm
!faq drkguide
read it
and be good
or wait emiin clear it
then ask for tips
but he haven't complete kefka yet
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
Negligible
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
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
I've been less enthusiastic about tanking lately than I used to be

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
@paper torrent I saw it happen on fucking Lakshmi of all things last night
WHAT
they locked out all casters but SMN
"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
^5
er whats the best 370 tank accessory to get if i can only get 1
the earrings I think
crafted ๐ฌ
wouldnt ring be best, it has crit and it replaces a 350 ring im currently wearing
Crafted Penta is bis for tank accs
isnt it a bit late into the tier to do that though?
Yeah you have 4-5 months
oh ok
For it to stay bis
Which kind of materia is considered useless for the most part?
Hey guys just reached 70 yesterday, some people advised me to go get i300 from the dungeons but can't i just join eureka?
lol let me rephrase that: which materia are recommended to be transmuted?
what does AF3 mean?
main stat materia, outside of like vitality, should be transmuted
I did get some i300 acces from the lvl 70 dungeons
STR ><
AF3 = artifact gear 3 so the job gear you get from your lvl 70 job quest
oh yeah str also can saved/sold
O i got that yeah
So Dex/Int/Mind materis then?
yeah. i personally also transmute piety and tenacity materia but you might get some money from that
@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
Xd sounds pretty badmannered to leech but i wanna test it out
Heard of a t-rex mount and relic gear
.>
it isn't ban-able
Eureka's alright but it could be better
I mean if you're a lowbie in Eureka it's understandable
Since everything can one-shot you
ooff uhm would you guys suggests lvl 70 dungeons or eureka? ._.
eureka if you've completed your Lv.70 job quest
Alright thanks!
enjoy !
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
is there an eureka guide for beginners?
what are the tips luna
i just died multiple times trying to explore the map a bit ._.
@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
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
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 ๐ด
Yep low hp=ur screwed its the wraiths n stuff
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
you need to specifically walk, not run or sprint
For the weekly restrictions on savage
say I haven't clear o5s/o6s
and go straight for o7s JUST for practice
will going after for o5s and o6s loot be affected? @.@
It counts you as clearing those floors and you won't be able to get your data log or chests
Ahh, dang
So don't skip
Yee
@untold oyster why the elitist answer questions?
Because a true elitist wants people to do good and improve
Should i follow a nm train as a lvl 1 in eureka?
yes
Alright thanks!
Ahh thanks for the tip, i've seen it on twitch a couple times yeah big dmg numbers :p
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
got it, thanks

Mmhmm, orange is orange
god I hate that train
o5s is a gay fight tbh
I would imagine you of all people would enjoy Head On, Locke
I'm gay, not a degenerate tbh
This more your kind of train? http://i.somethingawful.com/rompit/choaniki/mantrain.gif
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
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)
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
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
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
Yea dup job lock outs have been more common which means more dps so ill take it
the ironic thing being that no dupes on byakko is becoming a dead strategy
You have to actually gasp do mechanics
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
yeah but soon you're gonna have to
When a pug avg is barely 19k aka mininal for byakko yea
nah ppl just gonna keep it locked
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
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
If u want lb3 in dups we found it was 2 ded and lotta critical hp healing
unreliable strats
that's what I mean, I've had people mention that at 360-370 gear levels there starts not being enough incoming damage
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
the only time higher ilvl would matter is if you specifically relied on critical healing/shielding for it to be up
Just skip the tiger
but you don't for that
When we had 2 drg u need crit hp lol for lb3
So we killed our drg
10/10
Plz skip tiger not yet
why dont you unironically caster lb the tiger and have dots tick on him while he's fucking up the OT
hell yeah got #1 6
more than enough
That's fine, just remember you won't be acting in a vacuum
What class?
you'll be fine
Yeah that's alright
high uptime anyway on O5S as ranged
if you watched a guide and can do your rotation fine, you're more than qualified for learning parties
if you parse 5.6k on dummy generally you can prog pretty well, assuming you stay at that dps
smn has ruin2/4 anyway so you can run around a bit

good luck !
Fun fight
the tips on 2nd blizzard and thunder is
Growed on me
it will always same as previous one he casted
I know
I have seen the last Graven
i saw many players messed up that part
Eh, Graven mechanics are more annoying
the puddles are safe to walk into as soon as the half of the arena lights up
no, I usually die while trying to get to Kefka for Aero assault
it's 3 second server tick ><
for example, if someone else placing too close to yours
can walk like this haha
Giggity
I am on the right side usually
Using box strat
And boss is top
So I need to move towards the boss while avoiding my puddle
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
join in and ask
it will slower the LB build tho
but i guess it doesn't matter for o5s
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
500k hp left on kefaust T_T
oh...that's pretty close....
there's part of me lately that gets the impression that having parallel groups for older content is bad karma somehow
hit harder
I'm too busy running away from boss to assize so I don't dps /s
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.
eh. you can't tell which group is the good one until you join it
I have shitty luck, so usually it's the other group that's good and the one I end up in that's salty


that's why we removed it

your avatar is still disgusting but cute

chance rises to near 100%, if a friend is in the other group for whatever it is
invariably they've got the good group and mine will be salt in such cases lol

Usually people care about more pt buffs
Than lb gen
If it's something like double healer you're going to ask some questions
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
you need to be up for prime time
there seems to be plenty of 2 chest parties on pf atm
so pretty much, morning and late night groups are garbo?
better even to wait till thursday seeing that I work tomorrow also?
you just have to be patient
but it does fill
even at weird times
just do it early in the week
yeah, I got a group that filled and it wiped like 6-7 times
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
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
it's still a roll of the dice
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
you also have to consider that players generally check the fflogs of the party leader as a clue
whether it's accurate or not
I never did that ๐
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
I mean yeah, if your party isn't fuckin up mechanics of course they're gonna have better dps
how do ppl know wat corner ultros is gonna spawn in o7s
depends on which comes first
and 2nd ultros will spawn at the opposite corner
Tuesday is defintely not too late for weeklies
kool nvr knew that
there seems fewer groups tonight than it seems like there should be
so then using ur example, how would u know 1st ultros is gonna spawn ne
Son of a bitch that's a lot of fucking mechs
it doesn't happen all at once
@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

O O F
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?
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
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?
the longer you wait the more you gamble
i do find ppl looking for 2 chests in weekends
log scum peope
and it fill up
i've cleared on saturdays before
i legit had a group that almost single pull killed both o5s and o6s
but ... pretty much better to join a o5s/o6s group even when you haven't cleared 6?
ask first if it's okay to leave
unless you have tuesday evening off or can stay awake till 3am on monday?
after the o5s
6 doesn't look too hard to fake your way through anyways lol
o6s is o1s
you can easily clear it as long u know your rot
someone hasn't cleared
the time I cleared O1S for the first time I joined a 2 chest weekly group for it
which 70% of ppl dont
no one was able to figure out who hadn't cleared
like the 1800 dps pld i had
you can easily tell who hasn't cleared
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
just accept that u will never get a fucking drop in savage and go for book parties
i got 4 peices of 370 in 4 weeks
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)?
oh btw
or are people not going to join such a group?
i got 0 in 4 weeks
@boreal edge i got body in first kill 
but yday was a shitshow, i saw aiming ring and helmet that i bought with books in prior weeks
I mean you could try hosting
and see if it fills
if you play MT in o6s though
hooly shit
so fucking free
depends, do they look up logs if there's only 1-2 groups even up?
or only to decide between multiples?
you know
to look up everyone in the party
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?
@pure yoke how about rdm saying good dps and he dies in every kill and parse grey?
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?
no
fflogs isnt used as much as ppl exagerrate here
also, l2 cherrypick logs or suffer?
i can safely tell you
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
80% of ppl killed o5s and o6s dont have logs
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
i dunno... i've forgotten to turn act on for like 3 of my o5s kills
and they still show up
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
not really
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
i mean it's your first clear
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)
should I be writing off 2 chests the 2nd week too as a resume padder before trying to do proper weeklies?
its still 1st day on reset while most decent ppl already cleared for the week but you gonna still find ppl
i mean for fuck sake i legit two chest cleared last week on a fucking friday
i've had it happen to me too
as you parse higher it's easier to carry
particuarlly o5s
monday 2 chests is a meme tho
oh yeah 100%
monday is way too fucking alte
not even worth your time even if you had nothing else to do
parse runs on a monday though....
hope i400 aiming chest have retarded stats
i've seen some stupid SHIT.
MONDAY PRASE RUNS.
Tops the fucking cake
i already know that party is probably trap
i mean at least for o5s
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
oh you made it sound like you had two parses
from people failing mechs, not from enrage
what class
and you parse 9%?
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
casters can coast in o5s
so the clear showed the parse effects of a learning party
what are you parsing
I'm guessing you should actually make a point not to clear on your learning parties?
in your runst hat you wipe
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"
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
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
4.5k
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?
is a 50 percentile
(my week 2, anyways)
okay okay
25% is 4k flat
4,091.56
you should be using those numbers to make sure you're doing proper dps
... 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 :/
besides you're RDM, if people fuck up to mechs you have a res
"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
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
...?
well there will be always grey peeps
well, it's a percentile, so if everyone who didn't parse 90%+ stopped raiding, the current 90% would be 1%
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
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
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?
not for whm
look up guides
cure 3 is the best skill
yay another WAR failed the cheese
it's not even that great for WAR to do cheese
just do it the normal way
^
imo WAR cheese is only reliable in statics
WAR cheese is so much faith on that WAR who's a pug
never got a war to cheese in pugs anyway
in a words of a wise man
First time i experienced the cheese was my static
"THIS WARRIOR CAN'T EVEN PRESS A CD, DO YOU THINK HE CAN CHEESE?"
@paper torrent war cheese is dps loss
