Hey someone knows if i can start lighthouse earlier and get reward, after the reset happens and i finished the raid?

It checks when you clear, not when you enter

Exception is adventurer in need which checks both and gives it to you if you hit either

idk if i should be asking this

but is disconnecting to tank aoes a thing?

jk the person just was lagging

I know that gapclosing into a dead hoh mob disconnects you

nah the person was disconnecting inside every aoe

then they were also disconnecting outside of aoes

Last night, after clearing G.Kef, I go into party chat talkin bout "WANNA GO IN AGAIN?" cuz I forgot that the weekly limit hasn't been removed yet.

wheat garnet
#

Do you lose the weekly Savage reward in a tier by just joining the following tier or do you need to clear the following tier to loose the reward in the previous ones?
Because I'd like to wait a bit for the weekly O5-6s (to do them with friends) but still join O7s practices to git gud in the meantime

unreal flax
#

If you ENTER O7S, you will forfeit any rewards from 5&6

dull radish
#

Including pages

wheat garnet
#

Awwww.
Thank you

#

Is there a reason for that ? I fail to understand what the point is.

paper torrent
#

It's to encourage people to do weeklies and not just fights they need which would mean that 5s and 6s would be deserted after a month

wheat garnet
#

I don't understand. If people don't do weeklies then they don't care about the rewards they will miss anyway

#

Say I only need to do 7 and 8 for gear

#

How does this encourage me to do 5 and 6 since I don't care about their rewards ?

#

And if I DO care about 5+6 then I would run them wether the current system is in place or not

#

If anything this creates less incentive to run the lower tiers. As someone who only runs 7-8 anymore would rob their friends of loot

scenic patrol
#

It also encourages to be better at previous floors

wheat garnet
#

Maybe it is to limit people at the top carrying newer players by making it inconvenient

unreal flax
#

I just realized that it took me from Feb 18th to May 12th to kill Guardian.

#

That's a long enrage

I can easily see how this can happen. I'm still working on it. And that with the dai ryumaku crutch gear

opal hollow
#

holy moly people who don't do any ex trials/savages are real

#

but still gear to 370ish

steady pebble
#

I mean...at this point you don't need to do any ex/savage to get 370

#

only thing you can't get 370 of is weapon/2nd ring

opal hollow
#

yeah '

#

that's exactly what they had

#

im impressed honestly

steady pebble
#

its not really that impressive

opal hollow
#

i can't imagine pouring that much mendacity into it

#

into one class

steady pebble
#

just requires you to have been playing since 4.2

opal hollow
#

yeah true

pure yoke
#

it's been a long ass time

#

if you cap out every week

#

you would have a combined total of

#

10,800 mendacity

#

24 weeks

steady pebble
#

basically, if you've been actively playing since 4.2, there's really no reason for you not to have several 370s at this point

#

even as a non ex/savage raider

unreal flax
#

I did a dumb thing week two lmao. I bought MNK pants, then immediately decided I was gonna play DRG lol

opal hollow
#

man i liked astros better before i learned what their cards do

#

now i actually notice when they give people the wrong cards

#

or don't do it on cd

sterile geyser
#

whats the most efficient method of farming poetics at this point, once roulette bonuses are gone? ๐Ÿค”

steady pebble
#

ARF/Baelsar's wall/first timer bonus

sterile geyser
#

arf?

elder lark
#

what level are you?

steady pebble
#

Aetherochemical Research Facility

sterile geyser
#

o

torn kindle
#

AKA the place where people lost their souls grinding their anima weapon

sterile geyser
#

yeah thats why im looking lol

#

doing first anima weapon

steady pebble
#

i personally would do baelsar's

#

find it to be more enjoyable than arf

opal hollow
#

btw it's fine to use lucid dreaming last second right

#

as in, right before you overtake tanks

#

as blm?

#

just wanna make sure im not being retarded

last galleon
#

if you didn't actually grab aggro then everything is fine

opal hollow
#

aight sick

last galleon
#

just be a bit careful when climbing tanks too much, never know when you'll get a lucky F4 or foul crit and grab aggro earlier than expected

sterile geyser
#

is ARF substantially longer than baelsars? since it gives 50 more poetics

scenic patrol
#

iirc you could speed run ARF at around 16 mins

boreal edge
#

@scenic patrol that was back at HW days

#

dunno how fast it is when you lost half your kit now

scenic patrol
#

we gained DH

#

also kit losses were balanced around

#

potencies were shifted

#

and we have some stupid OP shit at those levels as well

#

like RDM

unreal flax
#

What are All Star Points and how do I get more of them?

#

My G.Kef is purple ASP, but green DPS, so DPS can't be it

#

Well

#

DPS can't be all of it.

ornate blade
#

lmao that rant last night got u think bout them asp

unreal flax
#

Yeah, that too lol

ornate blade
#

its basically your ranking on that class for that fight

#

but unlike percentiles it can drop as long as the tiers relevant

#

so you could get like a 100 early in the tier, but you wont keep the 120 asp

unreal flax
#

Aha

ornate blade
#

according to reddit comments

#

first 100 points based on percentile

#

then 20 based on how you compare to the top parse

scenic patrol
ornate blade
#

but i dont have any clue if thats true

#

im dumb enough to believe it

#

actually sec

boreal edge
#

asp is compared to your dps difference between you and top parse

#

you can be 50 percentile

#

but purple asp

torn kindle
#

challenge; get 120 with as low DPS as possible

ornate blade
#

It's you dps/best .7 + %.3

#

apparently

unreal flax
#

Interesting!

coarse radish
#

What jobs dont require double weaving? I love playing drk a lot but due to my ping I've now discovered I clip my gcd really badly by double weaving no matter how hard i try :/

torn kindle
#

not many require or do double weaving often outside the opener

#

BLM doesn't double-weave to my knowledge

#

but then again it's BLM

coarse radish
#

Usually its dark arts + another ability, like a defensive cd or c&s

scenic patrol
#

Monk I guess

#

also Warrior

#

can do decently as a Warrior without double weaving

coarse radish
#

Hmm

#

Is there a way to double weave with high ping? Doesn't hurt to ask lol

#

Trying it out on a dummy on rare occasion a double weave works

#

Other times its like i miss an entire half of a gcd

#

I have no problem dodging aoes n stuff tho

#

Lol

scenic patrol
#

it's entirely ping related

coarse radish
#

Rip

#

Does animation lock play into it too?

scenic patrol
#

can't do much to make Double Weaving work if your internet is a bit spoty

#

not really

#

animation lock just makes things wrose

coarse radish
#

I noticed using da as the second ogcd leads to higher chances of pulling it off

#

Carve and split ruins it terribly tho lol

scenic patrol
#

need DA on first 0GCD slot for C&S

coarse radish
#

Ye

#

Defensive into da works a few times, but then da cs may as well have been a gcd lol

scenic patrol
#

are you playing on EU from NA or from ME?

#

just curious

coarse radish
#

scenic patrol

thought about playing on NA?

scenic patrol
#

it only shows top parses

coarse radish
#

Ah

#

Doesnt help i like mt too

scenic patrol
#

wut?

#

being MT has nothing to do with your parses

#

the lost potency amounts to less than 1%

coarse radish
#

Isnt usually being mt means a lower parse tgan ot?

#

Ah

scenic patrol
#

I am Warrior

#

by default I pull every god damn boss

#

doesn't mean I won't parse orange due to that

#

DRK is the same

#

it has priority pulling over PLD

#

PLD should frankly never pull bosses

coarse radish
#

Ah kk, it usually is a loss for me due to the double weave issue lol

#

Drk has a huge aggro burst opener now

scenic patrol
#

MT no Grit opener requires double weave of both DA DP and DA Plunge

coarse radish
#

I do that but with grit

scenic patrol
#

save the Plunge for later than

#

Plunge under Grit will likely lose you 100 potency

coarse radish
#

I could try without grit, but id probably need a shirk pass then

scenic patrol
#

just do DA PS

coarse radish
#

Yeah thats what i do

scenic patrol
#

that shit is insane Enmity lead

#

under Grit in pugs

coarse radish
#

Da unmend plunge, then da ps combo into a dropped grit

#

Makes it hard to rip aggro in most cases

scenic patrol
#

just remember

#

that DA Plunge

coarse radish
#

Because party finder finds a way

scenic patrol
#

is without slashing

#

and possibly outside of TA

#

that's where all the lost potency comes from

#

and Grit damage pentalty

#

of course

coarse radish
#

Yeah, thats to be expected

#

When is the usual ta timing btw

scenic patrol
#

5 GCDs in

coarse radish
#

My one time being in a static was jarring so i never relied on other jobs or took them into consideration bc pf

#

and no statics with na times

scenic patrol
#

fuck

coarse radish
#

?

#

Lol

scenic patrol
#

90% of my raiding experience has been in a static

coarse radish
#

For me like 5%

#

Only group with a time that worked but at one point i almost outdpsed my nin and we canceled 80% of raids so i missed out on months of loot

scenic patrol
#

Yeah it takes time to find a good group

#

And now most groups are interested in UwU

#

Or have stopped raiding

coarse radish
#

If i stop being lazy ill probably try kefka next week, been too busy with crafting and leveling classes lol

#

Are you also na in eu?

scenic patrol
#

I was the opposite

#

Of you

#

I started in NA

coarse radish

#

Does anyone know of any sites or avenues for finding linkshells for raiding? I'd like to try getting into some raid stuff but don't know where to start

scenic patrol
#

I have no idea about raiding linkshells that are actually functional

#

but if you want to get into raiding

#

I recommend checking out The Balance Discord

ancient swan
#

The problem I have is my schedule, I work the night shift every third week so I feel like I won't ever find a place to raid

scenic patrol
#

raiding is not exclusive to premade groups

#

aka statics

arctic field
#

A lot of the content can even be done with PUG's! If you have the stomach!

#

\o/

ancient swan
#

I know, but I find it to be much more enjoyable with a consistent group who you have a community with per se

scenic patrol
#

you'll need to try to find a group that suits your schedule

#

or make one

#

but currently finding a group will be hard for you

#

this late in the tier

#

you'll have more luck in 4.4

ancient swan
#

๐Ÿ˜”

scenic patrol
#

content cycles are both a blessing and a curse

paper torrent
#

mostly a curse if you decide to pick up the game mid patch

#

kinda like... right now

#

best bet would be to wait for farm parties once the weekly limit gets restrictedto get into savage

ancient swan
#

Such a bummer, hopefully I can resist the urge to just go back to wow in a couple weeks

paper torrent
#

it's a good time to catch up for next tier tbh

#

welfare gear is coming out in spades and you have plenty of time to do the msq casually

scenic patrol
#

just dive head first into raiding

ancient swan
#

I'm caught up on msq, just unlocked expert finally

scenic patrol
#

cap mendacity for now

#

and do Ridorana weekly

ancient swan
#

I have full creation gear or better

scenic patrol
#

creation is not enough for savage

#

or at least unaugmented

ancient swan
#

I'm just saying where I'm at, my only upgrades can come from mendacity or other stuff now

#

But I have yet to buy any mendacity gear so long way to go there

scenic patrol
#

you can augment Mendacity peices with coins from Raba + Ridorana

#

one from each

paper torrent
#

it also gives clusters

scenic patrol
#

Rido is weekly locked

paper torrent
#

2 clusters a week for stuff you wanna do anyway

#

pretty nice

ancient swan
#

Don't know what any of that means lol

paper torrent
#

oh, combat materia 6's

scenic patrol
#

24 man raids

paper torrent
#

come from cracked clusters

#

ridoriana drops 2 of them once you finish the run

scenic patrol
#

Royal City of Rabanastre

#

and Ridorana Lighthouse

#

casual content so to speak

#

but you can still wipe

#

if you are not careful

#

might want to check a guide

ancient swan
#

I'm a tank too, so I'll definitely have to check the guides

paper torrent
#

there's generally one mechanic per boss that will wreck your shit

#

baring tank buster

arctic field
#

And then there's Tide Pod, whose name may cause the party to wipe

:(

scenic patrol
paper torrent
#

tide pod

#

the tank buster

ancient swan
#

I'll have to give them a shot this week

paper torrent
#

onlhy ffxiv

scenic patrol
#

Rido also gives a 360 ilvl gear

#

so it's good to catch up

#

one per week

#

since Rido is weekly locked

ancient swan
#

Agh yeah so only roll on the best upgrades

scenic patrol
#

nah, just roll on any upgrade

#

better for your sanity

#

trust me

ancient swan
#

Should I be working on whatever the lastest anima grind is?

scenic patrol
#

anyhow the 3 things you get each week is 1 coin

#

1 cluster

#

and 1 gear piece

#

which you won

#

dunno that's up to you

#

only by the end of the expansion will the relic weapons be BiS

#

they are good for catch up

#

also relic is a bit of a midless grind with Eureka

#

I recommend having a good netlfix back log ready

arctic field
#

This time around, it gets you most everything though

scenic patrol
#

armor is only for this tier

arctic field
#

So it's a better trade than just the weapon

#

Oh, really? Despair

scenic patrol
#

relic armor upgrades are effectively done

arctic field
#

Well, that's unfortunate

#

Guess they didn't like giving away so much stuff :[

paper torrent
#

yeah hvaing relic armor this tier was nice

#

cute AF3 dyeable skirt for sch and it can be used as gear?

ancient swan
#

Lol

arctic field
#

Or you could be a potato and have everything work

ancient swan
#

Appreciate the info and help, at least now I know what I should be doing

paper torrent
#

oh, i would also unlock normal sigmascape

arctic field
#

I should run Savage so I at least have some Diamond stuff though... >.>

#

It'd at least make me feel better when watching people with Diamond weapons fail mechanics

#

:<

paper torrent
#

the next tier is going to require sigmascape unlocked

#

thankfully normal raid roulette exists now so delta qeuues aren't as asshole

arctic field
#

That's true

#

I've heard it helped with Alex Normal as well

ancient swan
#

what is sigmascape

arctic field
#

The first four floors of Omega

I think

paper torrent

deltascape is the first four

how long does ultima prog take compared to primals usually? I feel like primals are more difficult when you have to fuck around with mechanics to awaken, and ultima is just trying to survive, but then again I haven't even been to ultima so just being curious and trash

split falcon
#

Ultima prog is 12-13 minutes just to see two more seconds

#

it also depends on how consistent your group is

#

Ultima is definitely far from โ€œjust trying to surviveโ€ though imo, the fight doesnโ€™t get easier

unreal flax
#

Better than this, I think.

dim bear
#

oh ok, I'm at about 4.9 and 5k with my stats

unreal flax
#

On a dummy, I'd say 5600 is pretty decent with the full i370 set.

dim bear
#

Oh ok, need better fine tuning on my rotation then

#

cause a RDM with slightly lower gear then me out parsed me by like 100, wanted to see what I should focus on

#

rotation, or gear...

unreal flax
#

What's your current ilevel?

dim bear
#

356

#

lagging on accessories, and using 360 mendacity weap

unreal flax
#

Oh, man you're not far away from what I was doing around that iLevel. I think I was actually juuuuuust over 5k if I got some nice crits.

#

THAT SAID

#

You can always improve on your rotation and such as you figure out the intricacies in the fights.

dim bear
#

I do tend to out parse other melee tho, just that RDM on ex roulette the other day got to me... I even popped some crit food...

unreal flax
#

Oh yeah, don't worry about that too much. Unless you're doing /e end before every boss, their AoE damage is going to keep them above your single target dps. DRG AoE is mostly fine, but RDM is gonna beat you if they can do Moulinet.

#

Well, I mean that's not everything, but if they get to do all of their AoE shit, gg

dim bear
#

at the very least I was keeping up, this guy wasn't moulinetting, he was just scattering

#

I was able to out parse him on AoEs, weaving in a jump every other attack

#

oh well, just trying to improve my game you know

thorn bear
#

Kinda wild watching world first for kefka and seeing their strats

#

How they did gravens

#

Center celestriad

#

Too big brain for pugs

vital cypress
#

I uh

#

had a world firster with us last night

#

and if average raiders are playing a different game from random duty finder people, top tier raiders are doing something completely different from everyone else

scenic patrol
#

top tier raiders aren't aliens

#

reaching their skill is possible

#

but it requires dedication

vital cypress
#

elusive jump gap closing

scenic patrol
#

that's common

#

ask Lksaar

vital cypress
#

I canโ€™t even use RDM jumps without chucking myself into space half the time

scenic patrol
#

you learn the length of the jump

#

until you simply stop falling off to your death

#

being an altoholic doesn't help with being gud

#

quite the opposite

vital cypress
#

?_?

lusty oak
#

playing one job until u can execute rotation in sleep or drunken stupor really helps

#

as well as learning distances for everything in your kit

#

to stop falling out

vital cypress
#

I mean I usually play SMN

#

no need to worry about movement abilities if you donโ€™t have any

boreal edge
#

@unreal flax gz on godka kill

unreal flax
#

ty <3

boreal edge
#

@thorn bear center celes is easier than it looks tbh

thorn bear
#

Yeah it does I just never see it done

#

Same with line for skulls

boreal edge
#

have 4th guy get in mid of thunder the moment it goes off

unreal flax
#

What's line for skulls?

scenic patrol
#

instead of cross strat

thorn bear
#

Instead of cross u do the opposite

scenic patrol
#

line strat is the easier to come up with strat

#

cross strat came from optimizing

boreal edge
#

the 1st method is just need some kiting

#

cross made uptime easier

scenic patrol
#

only problem with cross is the tanks need to move

#

and position the boss as center as possible

thorn bear
#

Finna get my clears today when I get home and hopefully get a godka clear where I don't die to 3rd forsaken

paper torrent

Good luck fam

His belt was ilvl 225

#

scenic patrol
#

I have SCH now

#

I can just Adlo prey

boreal edge
scenic patrol
#

if I want to be extra safe

thorn bear
#

When people say "I'll cover 2nd prey" do they mean literal second prey from guardian

scenic patrol
#

I also have stupid amounts of Piety

thorn bear
#

Or dps prey from dadaluma

boreal edge
#

why cover 2nd

thorn bear
#

Just example

boreal edge
#

1st is more important

#

its mid opener

scenic patrol
#

you don't cover Daddy bleeds

#

no point

boreal edge
#

gotta make healers dps in opener

thorn bear
#

OK

boreal edge
#

wait ppl cover daddy bleeds?

spice comet
#

It's w.e the tank wants to do

scenic patrol
#

no

spice comet
#

Second prey has been cover

scenic patrol
#

John asked about it

spice comet
#

Like that's a thing

thorn bear
#

I never asked so I covered daddy bleeds

boreal edge
#

skip the 2nd bleed

scenic patrol
#

and I answered

thorn bear
#

Lol

#

Now I know

scenic patrol
#

cover Prey missilies

spice comet
#

If u mean wat ppl do, yes second prey cover is a thing

scenic patrol
#

they are a bitch

spice comet
#

During daddy

thorn bear
#

I'm gud at ffxiv I swear

scenic patrol
#

Daddy bleed is easy compared to prey

spice comet
#

Oh daddy's BLEED?

#

Yeah no

#

Lol

unreal flax
#

I feint the second buster in O7S lol

#

I'm a hero

Feinting the buster that gets Holmganged

thorn bear
#

I do real shit

spice comet
#

No need to use aldo, I'll just reuse my succor

thorn bear
#

Raw int and veng

#

Big mitigation

scenic patrol
#

eh

#

save RI for SiO fodder + auto attacks

boreal edge
#

arm and hammer barely hurt tbh

spice comet
#

It's like 37k raw or so

boreal edge
#

train buster is more scary

spice comet
#

Just take it raw

#

Ez

thorn bear
#

I think it's more than 37k but uhhh

scenic patrol
#

it's a lot more

spice comet
#

My tank nvr knows

#

I excog them

scenic patrol
#

should be around 60K

thorn bear
#

Like a lot more

boreal edge
#

@spice comet had war get one shot by 1st arm and hammer in pull

spice comet
#

They sometimes do take it close to raw

thorn bear
#

Oof oof ouch damage

boreal edge
#

he had 50k hp

spice comet
#

Oh lmao

scenic patrol
#

37K isn't even a buster IMO

spice comet
#

Our war panic and I gave shield plus excog

#

With whm benison

#

They came out with 37k

boreal edge
#

but yeah its too weak

#

i seen train wreck more tanks than guardian

#

buster wise

spice comet
#

Our war basically it raw in terms of their cd

#

Yeah its nbd

scenic patrol
#

why?

#

he should always have HG or Vengeance for busters

spice comet
#

Meme war things

boreal edge
#

it wasnt my war tho

#

just random war in o7s weekly pf

#

idk how he managed to die there

#

and not any buster

scenic patrol
#

your static feels more like a pug than a static

boreal edge
#

the 1 at 1st 20 secs lol

scenic patrol
#

not like my presence helped

#

1st time healing savage

boreal edge
#

it wont help when we are carrying

#

o7s been always a nightmare

#

we can spend 2 hours in o7s

scenic patrol
#

hey I am a healer where is my chakra spot?

boreal edge
#

and kill kefka in 2 or 3

scenic patrol
#

same spot I had as a tank

thorn bear
#

I don't even know where I usually wipe in guardian

#

I think greedy dps

#

Who fail biblio ๐Ÿ‘€

boreal edge
#

hey its week 1 strat we had

#

we just wanted to clear it asap

scenic patrol
#

adn still kept it

boreal edge
#

and didnt feel like changing it

#

cause we arent hardcore enough to do galaxy brain strats

thorn bear
#

Do pugs usually have tank do south spots for chakra?

boreal edge
#

and we still better than 90% of grps

thorn bear
#

My static does north spots for tanks

#

But I remember some random pug telling me north for dps is better for them or some shit

scenic patrol
#

south spot is better imo

#

for tanks

#

it's more natural

#

since the boss is likely north

thorn bear
#

I guess cause yeah

scenic patrol
#

and you start pulling south

thorn bear
#

You just pull him to your spot

scenic patrol
#

yeah

thorn bear
#

Instead of going south east then to north east or whatever

boreal edge
#

im that guy who try to make our runs as safe as possible

vital cypress
boreal edge
#

i even try to do all mechanics if possible

#

fast clear early in tier is what matters

#

parses can wait

thorn bear
#

Doesn't matter got clear

vital cypress
#

my playstyle is so conservative it makes Ronald Reagan look like a dirty communist

thorn bear
#

I remember tanking in defiance

#

In o1s

#

First time tanking in savage

#

So spooked

scenic patrol
#

O1S is spooky

#

can confirm

#

uncasted busters

thorn bear
#

Tail whip

boreal edge
#

@scenic patrol have your pld not be useless and cover you

scenic patrol
#

Cover what?

boreal edge
#

tail slaps

scenic patrol
#

Tail slaps hit for less than auto attack crits now

#

It's no longer even worth mentioning

boreal edge
#

wut

#

its 16k + auto

scenic patrol
#

Godka crits for 24K

#

Like I said

#

Less than a crit auto

unreal flax
#

Can confirm. I ate one of those recently. Felt sweet.

boreal edge
#

back in relevant days

#

i313 o1s

unreal flax
#

loool

scenic patrol
#

I joined at the end of Delta

#

And I only started raiding then

#

And I pugged

#

Is there any more info you want?

boreal edge
#

tali slap + auto was 60% of your hp

#

and he do it twice

scenic patrol
#

But it doesn't matter

boreal edge
#

followed by real buster

thorn bear
#

Tail slap was real shit back then

scenic patrol
#

I don't plan on doing Alte Snooze sync'd

#

It's not challenging

thorn bear
#

Now I fear the godka foot

#

The godka stomp of oof

#

That's what killed me during 2nd celestriad

boreal edge
#

are you a war?

thorn bear
#

Paladin

boreal edge
#

you can eat bliz + stackable fire 3

#

if u time sheltron perfectly

thorn bear
#

I don't believe in my ping

#

I died to orb in third forsaken when I was with my team

boreal edge
#

you can see the orb during ultima effect

#

dodge orb 1st

#

then dodge wing

thorn bear
#

Yeah it must've been 2nd orb then that one spawns earlier during ultima

#

My bad tho

scenic patrol
#

what orb?

boreal edge
#

left or right graven

#

at 3rd forsaken

#

then single wing

scenic patrol
#

oh

thorn bear
#

When the graven orb comes during forsaken

scenic patrol
#

that shit

#

left/right side

#

shit

#

you spin the boss before that to face W/E

unreal flax
#

Gotta do a full 360 or it doesn't work.

boreal edge
#

the moment he start casting ultima

#

he wont rotate

unreal flax
#

Looks like you gotta be faster, then. Pop dat sprint.

boreal edge
#

no u dont

#

you can see the glowing orb mid ultima effect

#

its not that blinding

scenic patrol
#

there's like 3 years to move

#

plenty of time

#

also dodging the orb side is more important than dodging wing

#

since wing is delayed

boreal edge
#

and even if u see it after ultima effect

#

u got enough time to move

#

but ppl focus on wing then orb

#

which what kill em

unreal flax
#

I dodged the wing. Died to the tower. Go me.

#

Got that positional, tho lol

thorn bear
#

How much dps do u need to not die to hakutei on byakko ex anyway? I remember many a farm group getting him down to like 25% only

boreal edge
#

i know whole fight need 18k rdps

#

thats less than o1s

#

lol

thorn bear
#

Holy shit

paper torrent
#

it's like really low

#

i think the lowest i cleared with hakutei was like, 15k?

my first kefka clear for clown and god were both like sub 10th percentile

u'll be alright

o7s was a shitshow

lots of pain but if I can do it

u can do it

idk if I wanna think about it LMAO

#

yeah

#

I'll start tmr prob

#

need a break with all the sub 5% wipes I had

vital cypress
#

our O8S clear was a scatter of me landing in green territory, the DRK solidly purple, the WHM around 70th percentile, and everyone else very gray except for the 99th percentile DRG

#

(unless you bought a clear I guess)

should I pop mitigation during 2nd forsaken?

I keep taking laods of damage

#

like dying damage

#

i mean do u need the mitigation for anything else

#

if not then sure

thorn bear
#

not until shared embrace

That's as good a time as any.

If you use it at the right time it'll probably help heal up for heartless as well as mitigate double wings

#

What about NIN at 70 makes them the hardest melee in the game? is it just memorizing when to use which mudras?

#

provided you dont suffer from mudralag

hybrid rapids
#

Synergy, timing to smoke / shadewalker, timing to LB3

#

now mix those with rotation and also game mechanic

#

NIN has very minimum positional tho compared to other melees

heavy mist
#

mess up TA and its a feelsbad for u

#

and the group

#

no mudras TCJ or kassatsu and u can be waiting 20s if u mess up

#

๐Ÿ˜ฆ

#

if stuff goes wrong

#

it can go really wrong....

kind schooner
#

If you're playing with random pugs and just shadewalker the tank on cooldown does that remove most of the complexity

#

I'm not going in with a static that wants to time stuff, I'll just TA whenever its up

scenic patrol
#

TA on CD is how you play

#

Unless you need to delay TA due to mechs

rustic lichen
#

There's also TCJ being clunky as a move

kind schooner
#

Hm ok, I'll just have to play it and see! Only been able to play up to level 60 though...

torn kindle
#

TCJ: because doing 7 oGCDs in a row is somehow a good idea for a skill

kind schooner
#

Just can't get into dragoon, too attached to the fluidity of smaurai over the rigid cooldown-based DRG. So I think Ninja might be a good middle ground

heavy mist
#

you could try MNK

meager walrus
#

My retainers are both 70 DoW now. What's the best way to make gil off of my slaves? right now I just gave them my hand me down crafted gear, theyre around 330 ilvl and I send em on quick explorations.

torn kindle
#

I think i330 should be more than enough for them ATM

#

in terms of what to get, there are a few low level items that can sometimes sell well

#

Like Spoken blood

meager walrus
#

Is quick exploration better returns than field exploration? Might be an unfair question because you can run way more

torn kindle
#

Quick Ventures is volatile in terms of money

#

sometimes you get 2 Jet Black or Pure White dye

#

and sometimes you get a single wind shard

meager walrus
#

That's nonsensical and right up my alley

torn kindle
#

๐Ÿ‘

vital cypress
#

bit late

#

but i think NIN has a shorter GCD than the other jobs as well?

#

because of huton

#

MNK might be quicker because of Greased Lightning, not sure offhand

Huton is 15%

#

Greased Lightning 3 is 15% as well

@wide jasper kill a mob your level

iirc you're assured a protean from 30 chain

just concentrate on leveling up

@steady pebble its confirmed to be false

#

its high chance but not guaranteed

Yeah, I've gotten plenty of 30 chains and not get a crystal from the final kill

Definitely a high chance though

#

so like 40-45min

lucid karma
#

except first day

heavy mist
#

I'd say. Give yourself 1 hr in case of terrible party

azure hill
#

40-45 is my experience too

heavy mist
#

But its p rare now

elder lark
#

yeah if people suck it's like an hour

azure hill
#

Remember to always queue in progress though

elder lark
#

but there's usually enough people now who suck less than average to carry people who suck more than average

azure hill
#

Often you get an in-progress at Construct 7 where all the bads ragequit blobcatsmug

elder lark
#

I'm happy I finally figured out visual tells for Construct that I can actually see and therefore survive it most of the time now >.>

azure hill
#

I've had several mentor roulettes now where I've joined at Construct 7 with only 3-4 people left in each alliance

#

And when they fill back up again, it tends to be smooth sailing

#

Construct 7 is easy for me now, but Famfrit still kills me at least once

thorn bear
#

famfrit kills me unless I'm tanking

heavy mist
#

Amazing

thorn bear
#

I'm not looking and tsunami legit one shots me

heavy mist
#

Its so easy to play as tank in famfrit

azure hill
#

Yeah, the worst part is when he does tsunami when there's three ewers flying around

heavy mist
#

U can just be like lul dmg

azure hill
#

So you're busy trying to dodge the carwash from hell, and suddenly half of the map is death

elder lark
#

I'm 50/50 on surviving Famfrit for a whole fight because I have trouble seeing where the jug is pointed but I'm getting it figured out

azure hill
#

What surprises me is that even with terrible groups, Belias tends to be no issue

#

I was sure the time chains were going to be a major headache

elder lark
#

I think Belias is telegraphed enough that almost everyone can do it

thorn bear
#

never had issues with belias

#

famfrit = ouch

#

construct 7 = ouch

elder lark
#

I was fine with Belias pretty much from day 1 because I can see everything

lyric summit
#

I haven't gotten the chain once since ridorana came out

#

it must target the lowest dps ๐Ÿ‘€

elder lark
#

All the effects have enough contrast that they don't bleed together for me

azure hill
#

Belias is the most fun one imo

heavy mist
#

honestly they all had good indicators day 1

#

just that people are dumb

#

or dont pick it up as fast

elder lark
#

my personal hell in Lighthouse is Yiazmat doing the continuous rake during magnetic lysis

thorn bear
#

I think construct 7 arena is way too big

#

for no reason

azure hill
#

Yeah, that one is painful blobcatsweats

#

Especially if the tanks position Yizmat at the edge

elder lark
#

I have trouble seeing the indicators for rake even when everything is normal color

heavy mist
#

๐Ÿค”

#

what about the continous rake
