uhh

hybrid rapids
#

alex savage was brutal

#

๐Ÿ˜จ

#

minus creator but creator alone still harder than any of current raids

heady widget
#

thats the only savages ive cleared LOL

#

attempted a11s-a12s

scenic patrol
#

when did you clear those?

heady widget
#

practiced a bit of 05s a while ago

#

and been trying to friggin clr o4s

hybrid rapids
#

oh, the difficulty is different when you have echo and overgeared

stable basin
#

alex savage is still far from easy even unsync, tbh

hybrid rapids
#

you skipped everything

#

no, you just brute force everything

#

it's just click the button and pass

#

just o8s gravel

heady widget
#

i cleared all those alex savages prob a few months back

hybrid rapids
#

have to understand the rule

#

that's it

stable basin
#

a6s will kill you dead with height error too

normal mesa
#

yeah no

stable basin
#

that's an insta wipe on savage basically

normal mesa
#

clearing it recently doesn't count

hybrid rapids
#

height error is brain dead mechanic lol

stable basin
#

hrm

#

i can only usefully meld det or piety to this piece

#

ponders

heady widget
#

idk whether i should try and clr all of O1s-O4s or just skip O5s

#

cus im ilvl 343 rn

scenic patrol
#

nobody really does O1S-O4S seriously now

#

skip em

heady widget
#

only reason i want o4s done is so i can unlock the ults

#

just one clr

scenic patrol
#

find a group first

heady widget
#

thats all i want XD

#

thats the hard part LOOL

scenic patrol
#

yeah, but it's impossible to clear this shit with pugs

hybrid rapids
#

gear up first

#

๐Ÿ˜จ

#

you need meals and also POT

#

self-sufficient

#

then gearing up

#

raiding is not about killing the boss only

#

of course if you're good enough and recruited by raid FC

#

they will sponsor you meals and pot

#

which is very unlikely for fresh raiders

scenic patrol
#

pots is for FFLOGS big dick

#

tbh

#

at this point

hybrid rapids
#

it's still helpful

wet stag
#

It's a hard knock life

hybrid rapids
#

on 1~3% wipe

normal mesa
#

Start on O5S tbh

hybrid rapids
#

or catch up from mistakes after died

normal mesa
#

go to the dummy, the Stone Sea Sky one

#

fight it without food or potions until you can beat it.

hybrid rapids
#

ilvl 343 is far from raid ready

normal mesa
#

yeah

hybrid rapids
#

and that's exlcuded materia meld + meal

#

i am not counting POT this time

normal mesa
#

you're in 4.1 gear

scenic patrol
#

as long as you are with a good weapon you can raid at 343

#

I just wouldn't count on clearing after O6S

hybrid rapids
#

sadly, no ๐Ÿ˜”

#

some PUG can't even clear with 360

#

or 365

tawdry matrix
#

I need new deep dungeon

heady widget
#

wait hold on, wtf is POT?

scenic patrol
#

potions

normal mesa
#

I still recommend Stone Sea Sky for the budding raider. Find out where you are at.

tawdry matrix
#

Dunno why Tsun wrote it in capital letters

heady widget
#

oh

scenic patrol
#

!item grade 2 infusion of strength

storm frostBOT
#
**Grade 2 Infusion of Strength** : Medicine

This diluted brew temporarily increases strength, but for twice the duration of similar potions. Duration: 30s

tawdry matrix
#

@hybrid rapids It's pot, not POT

#

TSUN

heady widget
#

lool

hybrid rapids
#

pot has different meaning

normal mesa
#

if you don't even come close to beating the o5s dummy in SSS you need a lot of work etc

hybrid rapids
heady widget
#

yea not used to alot of ff terminology i just know the basic mmo terms lool

normal mesa
#

is ok

heady widget
#

im like

#

slightly above casual

normal mesa
#

but do you know where the stone sea sky dummies are?

hybrid rapids
#

i think it will be hard to bear SSS dummy on 343

normal mesa
#

im bein totally serious

hybrid rapids
#

unless you summoned chocobo :P

normal mesa
#

ye he should gear up

stable basin
#

Train is also a really fun fight

heady widget
#

no ive never tried SSS

normal mesa
#

is my point

tawdry matrix
#

rhalgars bich is SSS for 4.0 content

heady widget
#

im actually about to attempt to fight the train rn LOOL

normal mesa
#

Try and aim for i355 or higher gear thks week

#

this*

heady widget
#

just need 3 more ppl

#

and i hae 485 men rn

#

so

heady widget
#

maybe like one dungeon away from being able to buy some more 360 gear

normal mesa
#

yes that shale?

hybrid rapids
#

here's some good read

normal mesa
#

its still SSS in the unlock message lol

hybrid rapids
#

from bokchok big fan

#

starting fresh into raiding isn't always easy

#

have to dedicate time into it

heady widget
#

i see

hybrid rapids
#

it's from NA PUG perspective

#

so i won't comment much

#

and i know he PUG a lot on most jobs

vital bolt
#

expect more suffering than success if you're pugging right off the bat

normal mesa
#

it gets better in time but yeah

vital bolt
#

One PF from another could be like night and day in performance and understanding

normal mesa
#

starts terrible

heady widget
#

in raiding?

vital bolt
#

What's more is a lot of times even learning parties have zero patience if one or more rage quit

heady widget
#

yup

vital bolt
#

The rest tend to leave if there's no communication going on

heady widget
#

happened to me

#

in alot of o4s lp's

#

or regular o4s party

vital bolt
#

Best to break the ice as much as you can before you go in the instance

heady widget
#

i have tried to in the past

scenic patrol
#

or just find a static

#

and clear the tier

heady widget
#

yea maybe

vital bolt
#

Tough to find one depending on your play time

scenic patrol
#

yeah

#

took me a couple solid weeks

#

to find one

heady widget
#

well i normally get on around 8 or 9 pm est

vital bolt
#

If you're not within the prime time of your data center

#

It becomes a task to find a static

scenic patrol
#

most of the statics in my DC raid at times I can play on off days from work

unreal lance
#

most of my static finding tasks usually ended the first night

#

ยฏ_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

heady widget
#

yea i never really looked for a static, i was always looking for clr parties or lp's

wet stag
#

I found my static in a day

#

Rather my static found me

heady widget
#

well youre lucky lol

scenic patrol
#

the patch made reinstalling mods so goddamn hard

unreal lance
#

very hard to do

scenic patrol
#

I don't want to be stuck playing without the textures

#

installation is now bald so hair doesn't exist if I don't fix this

unreal lance
#

lol

vital bolt
#

The Calamity in your game

#

Causes everyone's hair to fall out

heady widget
#

Well we almost beat it lool

#

Damn a couple of runs on that train and we could've cleared

#

But I'm so fucking tired so had to get off

#

All gamed out loo

blissful solstice
#

World first raiders are literally going insane

#

This is amazing

sleek belfry
#

Why? ๐Ÿค”

high ether
#

because Ultima Ultimate has some crazy mechanics in it

#

a summary of Ultima Ultimate

#

world first progged through the first three phases of the fight within twelve hours or so, because they were actually quite easy

#

but then ran into a wall with the fourth phase

#

and then they realized they'd been doing the first three phases wrong

#

so there are basically two ways to do the first half of the fight, but if you do it the easy way, you cannot progress into the second half

sleek belfry
#

Oh yeah I know that lul

#

Nobody WOKE the primals

high ether
#

the first three phases are crazy difficult if you do them the hard way, and I guess world first is going insane because of that

sleek belfry
#

And it's the same mechanics just turned up to 11

high ether
#

having to do them over and over

sleek belfry
#

Ruda isn't that hard awoken ๐Ÿ‘€

dull radish
#

yeahh haha

#

also, it's very likely that WF is further

sleek belfry
#

Ifrit is pretty spicy

dull radish
#

and that's what they're going crazy over

sleek belfry
#

It's gunna be all the mechanics from previous ones with extra LUL

blissful solstice
#

Yeah WF has probably made it to phase 4 and that's driving them insane

sleek belfry
#

It's the ads phase of bahamut all over again LUL

#

"This is unfair" BabyRage

wet stag
#

got to 50% garuda without woke

#

feels p good man

dull radish
#

Nice <3

wet stag
#

its such a clusterfuck

#

i love it

dull radish
#

yeah, it's pretty dang enjoyable

#

will be interesting to start to work through ifrit haha

wet stag
#

i dont think we'll do woke just yet

#

just wanna see the fight and pretend we're achieving something

normal mesa
#

hey non-woke lets you learn the base mechs

dull radish
#

mm I suppose

#

I feel like woken garuda is pretty decent idea to hop right into though, since it doesn't change much or make it all that much harder

wet stag
#

its 65k health the healers dont need to heal

Invisible titan slide ?

#

So the jp clip ?

wet stag
#

yeah 2nd set of landslides after woketh arent telegraphed explicitly

#

but they spawn in between the previous set

#

so its a 2->1 dodge basically

silent path
#

Inb4 u just need to be out of the front

wet stag

lemme grab a diagram someone made

red is first set,

ahh thanks!

lament dawn
#

What was it that awakened Titan?

dull radish
#

having him be in the sludge puddle left behind by exploding a gaol

#

in order to have him in one long enough, since he's normally in tumult spam and can't be moved, is you chain gaol explosions from south to him at north (gaol exploding blows up adjacent gaol)

unreal flax
#

looool that's dope

steady pebble
#

๐Ÿ˜ฎ

#

interesting

dull radish
#

I was actually thinking of something along those lines yesterday when folks were going about trying to get all the primals woken haha

wet stag
#

waow

sour solstice

Rika prophet

wet stag
#

wf progger rika vanih

#

P O W E R F U L

if this was the balance id change my name to rika cultist

but you cant be a cultist here

steady pebble

Rika haxxor paissasquint

unreal lance
#

well I do need someone new to worship

lyric kelp
#

Watching these guys wipe because they can't eye ball the gaol explosion distance right pepehands

wet stag
#

What if

#

To unwoke the primals

#

You need to do the woke mechanics in reverse

#

So garuda is 4 people gain 2 thermal low

#

Ifrit is 2 people stand in puddles to heal nails

sour solstice
wet stag
#

Or just heal nails

#

(shin ex anyone?)

#

And for titan 3 people need to stand equidistantly in puddles for gaols to form around them

#

#

stuck on charge

#

i have no idea how it work at all lmao

sour solstice
#

IIRC they "prime" themselves for the charge in the order they charge in

tribal smelt
#

your kill order of buffed nails dictates the charge order

lament dawn
#

about the garuda tethers, does distance matter or is it aoe damage regardless?

heady widget
#

good afteroon everyone ๐Ÿ˜„

silent path
#

garuda if u fail to "awake" her at first

#

u can awake her late right ?

#

or u have to awake her early

dull radish
#

usual strat is to do 3 of the cleanses on the spiny plume AoE, and then one on the mesohigh tether

#

you can probably do 4 on the spiny plume AoE but you'd have to be fast and stack a lot of quick heals, and then you don't have a tank taking the tether with two stacks to limit his incoming damage

silent path
#

didn't knew ultimate had ost ?

#

that someone reached ?

#

if this is illegal topost delete it plz

#

since its primal song

zinc vortex
#

its all existing songs

#

all are already on youtube, this is just compiled

silent path
#

but

#

if no1 saw ultimate...

#

how is that his song ?

#

๐Ÿค”

zinc vortex
#

because it was datamined

#

all of ultimate's songs were added in the 4.3 patch

lyric kelp
#

Woah that's an impressive thinking emote

sour solstice

@silent path delete

#

thank you

That is one of the dumbest ideas.

Nah, they're hired by Arab oil sheiks ๐Ÿ˜‰

kind schooner
#

What step is the i335 eureka weapon? I hear it's as easy as hitting level 5 with the challenge log but isnt there also currency farming

steady pebble
#

getting the i335 eureka weapon is just having the antiquated version + 100 protean crystals

kind schooner
#

Ah ok thats easy enough. When do you start getting these crystals? I'm at the beach killing squib after squib for 50 exp to get my first 1000

steady pebble
#

you're assured one at a 30 kill chain iirc, but they're also random possible from killing mobs

#

easiest way to get them is doing the NMs

#

and converting anemos into protean

kind schooner
#

Cool. Whats an NM?

steady pebble
#

notorious monster, they're basically the boss monsters in eureka

kind schooner
#

Oh ok cool, hopefully wont have to kill hundreds of these things before getting to participate in those

sour solstice
#

who where

dull radish
#

Yeah there was also a pic of it much lower. But both could very easily be praetoreum haha

sour solstice
#

oh

#

yeah

elder dawn
#

or just ultima's bane

#

since the edge of the arena isn't in the screencap

dull radish
#

Yeah

#

Like I'm sure WF groups are there

elder dawn
#

and it doesn't have any buff icons under his health bar

silent path
#

they are rika

heavy mist
#

they should be

#

would be super weird if they werent

sour solstice
#

unless theres another layer of bullshit

dull radish
#

Yeah, I'm sure. I'd be surprised if otherwise

sour solstice
#

that we havent seen

heavy mist
#

theres probably more BS

dull radish
#

But we just haven't gotten info so

#

Just gotta wait

heavy mist
#

during Ultima Weapon

dull radish
#

Oh there's for sure more bs haha

#

There's an entire two fights we haven't seen

sour solstice
#

Oh yeah

#

but I was saying before

sturdy shell
#

guy who tweeted out that pic also tweeted that jp got world first before servers were live

dull radish
#

There's a lot of memes floating around haha

#

It's pretty entertaining

sturdy shell
#

apart from 'woke'?

unreal flax
#

Until y'all give me video, I'm not rollin

sturdy shell
#

I need a screenshot

#

not just some cutout of a healthbar lmao

#

they were posting pics of prog on twitter

#

Okay is there a reason that the stupid minstrel isn't giving me access to moon lady Ex?

#

Oh it's under the fucking high end duh Misaki you fool

unreal flax

lol

steady pebble
#

all current savage and extreme trials are under the high end duty, for future reference ๐Ÿ˜›

digital drift
#

No I know, I just saw doggo in normal and figured it should have been in there

#

Haven't played since Deltascape Savage dropped

dull radish
#

Not the first person to have made that mistake haha, at least you sorted it out. Have had folks argue with me that it wasn't there, even after I asked them to double check a few times, only for them to look and find it on the list

digital drift
#

Ugh now I just need a group to run it with

sour solstice
#

good luck in party finder blobmorning

digital drift
#

Yeahhhh

#

At least I'm a healslut so it should be a little easier?

sour solstice
#

See

#

you just assumed the problem wrong

#

You assumed that the problem would be finding a group

#

the real problem

#

is memeors

digital drift
#

I'm not worried about the quality of the group

sour solstice
#

you should be

digital drift
#

I first week'd Halicarnasus in a pug

If I can do that I can do anything

boreal edge
#

#

i still dont understand how the 1st soak work

#

is 1st guy taking tank buster

#

or is it T10 charge

dull radish
#

it's wild charge yeah

boreal edge
#

the tank 80% dies there

#

guess it needs some mitigation

dull radish
#

he sure does

#

I think we do like apoc rampart or something

#

I forget exactly other than I apoc haha

heavy mist
#

yeh just pop come mitigation stuff and ez pz

bold jasper
#

rampart/apoc and reprisal works fine for us

#

i pop rampart before pull so its up for the two tank soak later tho

steep iris
#

i can't go back to whm

#

i tried to prog uwu as whm yesterday for a few pulls

Compared to before anyway

well before there was an dmg reduction

#

when using attacking spells

lucid karma
#

Mini rant but fuck this I still can't reach 6k on O6S

#

I really need to concentrate a lot more than usual one day

#

NIN

#

Our group is progress focused rather than speedrun

#

No AST and MCH

scenic patrol
#

You don't need MCH to speed run

lucid karma
#

Also SCH is kinda uh

#

Use chain strat at will

#

But yeah it's actually just me trying to concentrate

trim cloak
#

Is there a table with expected dps values per fight, sorted by gear lvl?

sour solstice
#

no

#

the parser cant get iLvl

#

so

trim cloak
#

it can't? oh

wet stag
#

Depends on your gear

sour solstice
#

^

#

even if it could

lyric summit
#

there's like.. minimal raid dps you need to clear a fight, and also 3min dummies that can kinda tell you if you're doing enough dps to kill

wet stag
#

Imo a good starting value would be 50% at blue

sour solstice
#

different pieces of gear make a HUGE difference

lyric summit
wet stag
#

And as your gear gets higher work your way up to purple

sour solstice
#

like if you got a full 370 set

#

and a 290 wep

#

you will pull rather low

trim cloak
#

uh how do I check the color of a parse?

lyric summit
#

mind you the "required dps" on that calculator doesn't account for party buffs and mechanics

sour solstice
#

upload

lyric summit
#

open a parse, go into damage dealt

trim cloak
#

I have. Is it the color of the graph?

lyric summit
#

those

wet stag
#

Grey is 0-25, green is 25-50, blue is 50-75, purple is 75-95, orange is 95-99, grey is 100

#

Yes

lyric summit
#

100 is yellow lul

wet stag
#

I know what I said

#

Gold is 0-25

sour solstice
#

a handy gif guide

#

to numbers

trim cloak
#

ok, for some reason I lack the Perf% stat in the logs

lucid karma
#

miss one trick attack

wet stag
#

WHY DO YOU HAVE A 290 WEAPON

sour solstice
#

why is your wep

#

290

wet stag
#

Wtf

trim cloak
#

Cause I hit 70 last week on BRD?

lucid karma
#

trim cloak
#

And started Eureka last week too

sour solstice
#

Its like

wet stag
#

No excuses

sour solstice
#

50 crystals

#

to get a 330

lyric summit
#

just buy creation weapon and get 340

wet stag
#

Yeah

lucid karma
#

At least you could just buy creation tome weapon

sour solstice
#

it took me 2 hours

lucid karma
#

That's 330 without upgrading

trim cloak
#

I have 2 crystals and am lvl 7m in eureka

#

I'll work on getting more

sour solstice
#

lucid karma
#

Not an excuse

sour solstice
#

choo choo motherfucker

lucid karma
#

Oh wait

sour solstice
#

emp/numbears

lucid karma
#

I forgot

sour solstice
#

would give you a +0 wep

#

ez

lucid karma
#

They still haven't unlock cryatalloid

lyric summit
#

just do level 70 content -> get 1000 creation -> do o4 four times -> do rabanastre -> get 340 weapon

lucid karma
#

Yeah tough spot, sorry

lyric summit
#

alternatively do byakko for i355, cause it's easy af

lucid karma
#

Oh wait only for uh i360 weap

trim cloak
#

I do not meet the minimum ilvl for byakko or tsuko

sour solstice
#

then

#

hop on the train

#

zzz

trim cloak
#

And I can't afford a crafted weapon as those are 1.5-2mil

lucid karma
#

Spam O4 normal 4 times

trim cloak
#

sour solstice
#

no

lucid karma
#

Buy weapon

sour solstice
#

the FATE train

#

lyric summit
#

yeah just get the creation weapon then, reaching lvl 20 on eureka can take ages, if you're serious about savage just get a 340 asap

trim cloak
#

yeah I'm going to do that tonight

sour solstice
#

he said 7

#

should be easy

trim cloak
#

How do you evaluate a log to check where you can improve?

sour solstice
#

for brd

trim cloak
#

All I know for now is that my parse is shit.

sour solstice
#

the basics are dot uptimes

#

and straight shot uptime

#

and song uptimes

lyric summit
#

it would just be easier if you linked the log

sour solstice
#

thats the absolute basics

trim cloak
#

Stormbite: 98.53%
Caustic Bite: 98.15%

#

sure I'll link it

#

is there a way to link a specific fight?

#

Cause currently it has like all my fights in it

trim cloak
#

ok my song uptime is ass. 62.44%

sour solstice
#

well

#

looking at it

lyric summit
#

you're not really using an opener, so that's p bad

sour solstice
#

no foe casts

#

6/6/4 for songs

#

I know kefka doesnt have THAT much invuln

#

iron jaws looks a little high

#

but i might be wrong there

wet stag
#

What's the count?

Oh is that normal

#

Yeah

sour solstice
#

I dont think so

lucid karma

sour solstice
#

oh

its normal difficulty yeah

#

You can't kill savage with that kind of overall dps

wet stag
#

With level 5 in Eureka should I start going to NM farm parties? I still havent gotten my first crystal for krile's quest but I'm already like 80 kills in and I don't expect to get one any time soon now

sour solstice
#

yeah you should

#

acid rain is hard no bully feelschromosomeman

solemn crow
#

3.2k how ๐Ÿ™€

kind schooner
#

Aight, NM rewards guarenteed crystals that turn into the krile quest one right

#

Or do I have to get one krile crystal before I can break down the bigger ones

azure hill
#

Try talking to Gerolt

#

See if there is a menu option

last galleon
#

i've heard people say you need to get one krile crystal before gerolt can break down stuff for you

kind schooner
#

Nah Gerolt has no menu

last galleon
#

ok r i p then

kind schooner
#

Just says something about the land of eureka and shoos me away

last galleon
#

you have to get your first crystal as a drop

azure hill
#

In that case, you're out of luck

last galleon
#

from normal monsters

#

isn't there a guaranteed one at chain 30 or something?

kind schooner
#

Will NM monsters drop the protean/primordial/whatever they're called crystals

#

Or just anemos ones

azure hill
#

Anemos only

lucid karma
#

Only anemos

last galleon
#

NMs don't drop regular crystals

lucid karma
#

But anemos is better anyway

kind schooner
#

I havent been able to hit chain 30, the timer runs out faster than I can kill

wet stag
#

@kind schooner chain LV 5 mobs

last galleon
#

yeah, but Frost here needs a normal one right now lol

wet stag
#

Another dude for dps

azure hill
#

Try getting a few people together

kind schooner
#

Every group I've joined too the chain counter runs out around the 20s

#

Early 20s

#

Just not enough damage, these monsters are so tanky

last galleon
#

yeah that first crystal is really annoying if you don't have a group

kind schooner
#

Is there a way to cheese it then because I've been with two two-man groups (for 3 people total) and both times couldnt get a 30 chain

last galleon
#

do they even have one before you hand in the first crystal?

kind schooner
#

Yeah, we'd pull every imp in the area then once they were all dead we'd kill af ew skeletons and bombs

#

The timer ran out at 18 during the bomb/skeletons phase that one

#

When I was doing my water log at ele level 2/3 the chain ran out at about 24 or so because the other dps was level 3 and the monster we were fighting was level 4

#

Yeah I was 5, these are all 5/6

#

Should I just do it solo maybe, and kill one by one

#

Hmm. Maybe I'll just try spamming shout until theres a 4 man group

#

3 doesnt seem to work haha

#

Eureka potion?

#

Both groups so far were 2 dps (me as rdm) and a healer

last galleon
#

did your chain break as in, the mobs don't spawn fast enough, or you guys weren't burning the monsters down fast enough?

kind schooner
#

the chain timer got low enough where a monster wouldnt die in our giant aoe pack before the chain went away

#

we were only aoe pulling

wet stag
#

Lol

#

That explains it

#

Single target burn

#

Is better for chain

kind schooner
#

Oh, so never aoe spam in eureka? Unless in a NM farm

wet stag
#

No aoe spam is fine

kind schooner
#

Constant 3+ pulls in both groups I was in

last galleon
#

if you have a big enough party AOE spam is better

kind schooner
#

But again just me as rdm, someone else as dps, and a healer

last galleon
#

but with 3 it's better to do 1-2 at a time and keep the chain going

kind schooner
#

so just 2 aoe dps

wet stag
#

But if the timer is running out wouldn't single target burn be preferable

kind schooner
#

Ah ok. I'll just do ST burn then next time

#

Let my other pt member do the aoe

last galleon
#

you should just all do ST, and pull the next mob when the current one is almost dead

wet stag
#

No both should be doing st

#

Yeah

kind schooner
#

Hmm. I dunno if I can convince farm parties to do that but I'll tell them

last galleon
#

AOE burn is great if you have multiple people going ham, but not so much for small sized party

kind schooner
#

Every group I've seen have been meat grinders just pulling everything and spamming aoes, like a dungeon

last galleon
#

it makes sense at a certain party size, but you mentioned that you usually only have 3 people

trim cloak
#

@sour solstice @wet stag oh yeah, I tend to refresh dots at about 10s left due to ping issues. I often experience packet loss so I grew kind of paranoid about that.

#

What can I do to improve opener and foe usage?

wet stag
#

Hm

#

Ok fair enough

trim cloak
#

tbf I have no idea how to do the latter

wet stag
#

!faq brdguide

Foes should just be whenever your mp is full

last galleon
#

you can make a conscious decision to check it every time you're in army's paeon, because that song is ass and you don't have any procs to react to

trim cloak
#

My opener is Raging Strikes -> Straight shot -> Stormbite -> Minuet -> Caustic bite -> empyreal -> Sidewinders -> heavy shot -> bloodletter

last galleon
#

yeah don't do that

#

use the opener in the guide

trim cloak

DOOM WALL IS ๐Ÿ…ฑROKE

lament dawn
#

Mr happy got past doom

dusky moth
#

What was the lb order?

lament dawn
#

healer, dps, tank

last galleon
#

so as theorized, nice

dusky moth
#

It wasn't dps healer tank?

last galleon
#

wait

#

nvm

#

lol

#

yeah

wet stag
#

Caster healer melee tank

last galleon
#

i read something completley different for some reason

#

oh, what's the melee for? is there an aetherial tear or something

dusky moth
#

Titan needed to be woke

last galleon
#

yeah if it's 4 lbs titan needs to be woke

#

previously we were just thinking it was caster healer tank

dusky moth
#

It is caster I think

dull radish
dusky moth
#

Caster to kill the bits

stable basin
#

Melee LB3 just nukes Lahabrea instantly

verbal ermine
#

Caster -> Healer -> Melee -> Tank

last galleon
#

lmfao lahabrea

#

a joke even in ultimate

#

just gets one punched by melee LB

dusky moth
#

For the woke titan

#

You have to make a daisy chain of gaols from th eback one

#

So you can get a sludge puddle on him while he tumults and a little after

trim cloak
#

What's the rough fight order? 3 primals in order, trigger woke 8 times so the group survives doom, fight ultima and then lahabrea?

last galleon
#

well lahabrea just got one shot in that clip before ultima appears. we don't know if he will appear again later in the fight.

dusky moth
#

He is shit talking as ultima does his ultimate

last galleon
#

i hope he comes back and gets melee lb3d again.

trim cloak
#

oh wow, both the opener and foe requiem usage are a lot more complex than I thought.

sour solstice
#

the basics of foe

#

is just max mp

#

thats all id worry about

#

opener on the other hand is some galaxy brain shit

trim cloak
#

the 4s before pull cast requires the tanks to use the countdown

#

which is somewhat inconsistent in DF

last galleon
#

you can still precast it if you see a tank sprinting towards the boss

#

and in savage/ex people do countdowns more often. not a big deal though.

trim cloak
last galleon
#

they...RP walk towards the boss?

trim cloak
#

Yeah they walk up there. Sometimes they throw out a shield lob/tomahawk/unmend

scenic patrol
#

No count down pulls in savage will make me rage quit

#

๐Ÿ˜ก

last galleon
#

i've luckily never seen that

trim cloak
#

Is that often the case on Chaos?

scenic patrol
#

Nope

last galleon
#

had tanks do no countdown byakko ex though

trim cloak
#

I'll be back home next week so I won't have to play on 500ms anymore.

#

looking forward to that.

pine beacon

Oh, yeah. No countdowns put me on full tilt

Just walk off the platform/stage

when should you expect the ninja to trick attack? Are they running up to the boss with huton and suiton precast?

sturdy shell

So around 8-9 seconds after pull

So delaying your dmg CDs until then is a good idea?

no

relic almost never on par with current savage until the end

stable basin

yeah, that's going to be an interestingly stuttery progression then.

scenic patrol
normal mesa
#

yeah having done hw relic, if you're expecting to have something to beat the current final tier of raiding

scenic patrol
#

it's just like previous relics

normal mesa
#

you're wasting your time with relic

#

it's always been this way

#

if you want the BEST weapon, you have to savage raid to the end of the tier

steady pebble
#

HW's progression is: 210 > 230 > 240 > 260 > 270 >275

#

it does sort of compete before that

#

when you choose your own stats

sour solstice
#

Anemos competes with Tomestone no aug

normal mesa
#

this only changes when the expac is about to end, if the patterns hold, and thus far, it's been close. it's still worth doing for a weapon before you clear the final fight of the tier, and if the stats beat tome? 100%

#

I do it no matter what cuz #MyFuckingAesthetic

Part of me doubts it will be 60 tho
