endgame-lounge

[valid gate]

you can do it but it isn't the best if all 3 of the other dps arent ass

[dull radish]

That's not really true

WAR is actually a really solid choice during certain widows, frequently the best

[heavy mist]

Just depends on the timing

[dull radish]

Yeah

[heavy mist]

Tether log thing does pick war here and there

[dull radish]

Mmhmm

Plus, it's very consistently good there too because of IR

[heavy mist]

Only problem is the 10s of no IR :(

Only if :(.

[unreal flax]

If I'm gonna give the WAR a tether, it's usually if I do tether on the 3rd GCD. When I don't have pots, I rotate the first three skills around all the time.

Sometimes, I do BL > DS > B4B. Sometimes, I do B4B > DS > BL. Other times, I do B4B > BL > DS.

[unreal flax]

Basically, don't prog with me after enough time has passed lol

[elder lark]

ugh I never got any Lighthouse gear this week and idk if I want to subject myself to running it now

[heavy mist]

Then dont

[leaden lava]

Not as if any of it is BiS

[elder lark]

BiS isn't a thing I'm even remotely concerned with ¯_(ツ)_/¯ a lot of it is upgrades unfortunately

I suppose it isn't as though I have anything better to do tonight lol

[stable basin]

Door Kefka learning going well

Our monk stood in 4 straight hyperdrives and left

[elder lark]

sounds great

[unreal flax]

MORE DIPS

[stable basin]

Gotta hit those front positionals

oh wait

[unreal flax]

The trick to MNK DPS is to actively avoid positionals. Increased DPS.

Positionals are propaganda

[leaden lava]

The trick to MNK dps is to play CUL

Smashy with a frying pan

[ornate blade]

i just give tether to party member 6 regardless of who it is

and closest if number 6 is dead or too far

[unreal flax]

That's actually what I normally do, when I know a clear is likely.

If there's no chance of a clear, after a while, I just start throwing that shit around to lighten the mood lol

I gave it to my SCH and he and I laughed and laughed.

[ornate blade]

some times ill tether healer cause i had macro changed or something

and ill forgot to fix macro

5 pulls in a row

😌

[unreal flax]

Last time I went with my prog group, everyone got the tether at least once except my RDM lol

[heavy mist]

u get your 2 chests brit?

Back to practice MCH rotation

yay

[unreal flax]

Not yet. There's this one PF that's about to open up, but I don't know if they need a NIN since they already have a DRG lol

Nope. I wasn't paying attention lol. DRG/SAM.

[silent path]

[unreal flax]

Uh oh found a 2chest PF lol. Here we goooo

(if it fills)

[vital cypress]

oh no

[somber river]

Say quick question for Tsuku ex when she does meteor markers is either tank a target or only off tank?

[opal hollow]

both

it targets ST then MT

NOT current ST/MT though

unless tank dies

[somber river]

ST?

[paper torrent]

Second tank

[scenic patrol]

[paper torrent]

That aggro paet

Is super fucking nice

[opal hollow]

LOL

[paper torrent]

Also using miztek

And happy

For strat

Hahahaha

There's a reason why people do meteors the way they do now

[opal hollow]

do you put on on the top + bottom of the cresent moon and on far away on the larger half?

[paper torrent]

I see most groups put on smaller side for N and S

Just right at the top

[opal hollow]

so not like this?

or like that

cuz idk na strats

gonna be ass leaerning how you guys do this stuff

[unreal flax]

That's the way to do it.

Other ways to do it work, but those other ways are wrong

[zenith veldt]

is there a place where we can find raid groups in your server?

[heavy mist]

wtf did i just read john

[opal hollow]

wow wtf

how'd this strat even become the meme

is it even in any guide

i remember mizzteq had some funky one

[scenic patrol]

Someone accusing me of elitism out of no where

[stable basin]

[scenic patrol]

And then fucking off off The Balance instead of presenting counter points

[somber river]

At anyrate, thank you!

[opal hollow]

some people try and find a reason to do that lol

have you met anyone good that also calls others elitist

cuz i sure as fuck haven't

[scenic patrol]

Most of the raiders better than me are really chill and friendly people

[paper torrent]

Mox cultst

Bigfan

[scenic patrol]

Mox has taught me a lot

[paper torrent]

Also yeah

Everyone i see who cries eltism

Usually not only bad parsing but often shit

At fights

[last galleon]

It’s the insecurity

[ornate blade]

my first clear of tsukoyomi, i got the dog

it has also been my only clear of tsukoyomi

😌

[opal hollow]

everyone hates people like you

how do you get so lucky

LOL

[ornate blade]

by not getting any raid drops and being i350 something in week 12

😌

[paper torrent]

Tsyu pf went to shit real quick

[ornate blade]

equivalent exchange

[opal hollow]

man i just realised

i had better gear

on my main

but was doing less damage on my alt

when i first started playing blm

[opal hollow]

do you need to finish rabanastre to do rido?

[scenic patrol]

Yes

You also need a coin from Raba together with a coin from Rido to Augment your shit

[paper torrent]

garbage raid and fun raid

[opal hollow]

they're both garbage

rido is so annoying as blm

[paper torrent]

Rido is fun as melee

except for 2nd boss

he can go eat a dick

[unreal flax]

robbed of my coffer by Raika lmao

[scenic patrol]

Bamboozled again

[unreal flax]

I got SCH book, so not entirely a loss, but still a loss lol. I don't know how to fucin play SCH lololol

[opal hollow]

anybody know what act plugin does the whole raid buff callouts

like TA/chain strat etc.

[regal halo]

SCH trauma

[unreal flax]

There's a couple of ways to do it. You can use regex in the normal built in triggers, or you can use a plugin like Triggernometry for it.

[steep iris]

@opal hollow special spell timer?

[regal halo]

I use Yukkuri TTS

Me.

[uncut charm]

oops

wrong channel

[regal halo]

not here, #not-ffxiv-discussion please

[opal hollow]

oh ok

damn there's a lot wow

[opal hollow]

holy shit forgot today was reset day

[opal hollow]

Damn wtf

the level 70 roulette doesn't give much mendacity

thought it'd be at least an expert roulette dungeons worth

[paper torrent]

Nope

It's just a clear medancity plus 20

I use it as an excuse for creation and maybe get skalla top

[opal hollow]

fuck this shit

i legit

hit living dead 1 second early

and istill die

like what the fuck is my ping

there's no way it's at 1k

[unreal lance]

Theres always a delay in everything

[opal hollow]

i swear

it's 10x worse on drk than war

ive never had holm pop

lol damn forgot how fast dungeon queues are for tanks

instant popped for the past 8 runs

[opal hollow]

was there any word on when o5-8s/mendacity is becoming uncapped?

[steady pebble]

mendacity won't be until 4.4

[opal hollow]

damn

nothing on sigma savage?

[steady pebble]

There was no mention of it, no

[opal hollow]

rip

[boreal edge]

3.38

somewhere in august

[steady pebble]

They might not unlock savage early this time

[boreal edge]

why not?

what makes sigma any different than delta?

[steady pebble]

i'm merely saying, they might not do it

[dull radish]

mmhmm

because delta was the first time they unlocked early

[steady pebble]

considering that i've seen people tout it that this is how they've usually done it

[dull radish]

one occurrence is not a pattern, they could easily go back to the old way of doing it

[steady pebble]

i'd rather we not say its an absolute thing

[unreal flax]

That's why, if I ever say anything, I always say "If they do it the way they did Delta..." lol

[dull radish]

yeah, that's a fine way to go about it

and it's pretty likely that it's how it'll be

but we don't have enough to make a firm statement on that

[hot plover]

this is a huge problem, does only the tank/healer chest piece drop in o8s or something? it's been dropping the last 10 weeks or so, even my friend is experiencing the same thing.

[dull radish]

I wish we had that problem, I had to buy the healer chest haha

[opal hollow]

ayyyy

2 weeks of o8s

3 weapons

LOL

[spice comet]

Lmao it's rng

[opal hollow]

yeah

except

not really cuz statics lul

im the only blm/drk/war player :^)^)

i did parse a 95 which was nice

finally get an orange in something LMAO

[unreal flax]

So far, only the fending chest has dropped for me. I got it last week. SCH book this week. Got that. I don't understand

[dull radish]

congrats <3 sorry I couldn't help out, got stuck at work longer than planned, then it was just getting a bit late when I would have been able to get on haha

[hot plover]

it's ok bby @dull radish

[unreal flax]

You know I love you, Rika. Nothing will ever change that. Even if you tell me I'm bad lol

[ornate blade]

dang i didnt even do 8s last week

games dead

no one to play with

pugs are scary

[heavy mist]

Eh they fine

Might need more than a couple pulls but yeh

[unreal flax]

Celia, wanna do it this week? I'll save myself for you

[paper torrent]

That sounded dirty

[unreal flax]

i know

[stable basin]

Progging late in the tier is so "fun"

First door Kefka learning I did yesterday the monk ate Hyperdrive 4 times in 6 pulls and then left

[ornate blade]

i saved myself for lala last week

and look where that got me

i dont need 8s any more tbh

honestly dont wanna raid til tier unlocks

but need tank gear

[unreal flax]

I only actually need 8S lol, but I want my stupid weapons before the start of next tier. Keep getting dropblocked by people who don't actually need the weapons lol

[dull radish]

I usually just play the lazy card this late on

and just wait until next tier, get some crafted gear

[ornate blade]

😎

there was a dark era

week 1 to week like 13 of sigma

where i had byakko weapon

week 14 actually

and i refused to get the 370 spear

since i was doing 8s

and i had to fucking buy the spear with tomes

feelsbadman

[heavy mist]

Imagine not getting eureka spear

[ornate blade]

oh wait i actually did switch to the anemos spear partway thru

it barely helped but w/e

[heavy mist]

You better

[ornate blade]

it was quite the conundrum

i was getting higher numbers every week

but my percentiles kept going down

cause i had no drops

😔

[worthy vigil]

Is clearing HoH for the accessory a weekly lockout?

[heavy mist]

No?

It shouldn't be

Unless I'm missing something new from patch notes

[worthy vigil]

Ok thanks

[lyric summit]

people were getting the mount week 1 so no

[opal hollow]

are the ground circle lights in o5s just fucking huge

or some shit

i keep getting hit by them when im not inside at all

[stable basin]

They snapshot way early

Snapshot happens like a second or two after they stop moving even though the explosion is a few seconds after that

[opal hollow]

wait

are you serious

i thought they did the damage when they explode

lol

is that why i keep getting dicked by them holy shit

[stable basin]

I think they're supposed to do damage when they explode

But uh

That's not what happens

[opal hollow]

yeah lol

it's 100000% not my ping either

cuz i've seen my mate get hit by like 4

with his 5 ping LOL

[ornate blade]

like

if you wait a second or two before moving out of it

itll prob hit u

even if ur out

[opal hollow]

yeah damn

that's super annoying

never had to deal with that mechanic until now

MT privilege lul

[split falcon]

https://clips.twitch.tv/SleepyCautiousBeeBrokeBack

super bullshit snapshot

[boreal edge]

lights are stupid in o5s

its even worse than 2.0 weight of the land

hit is registered like 2 secs before it explode

[split falcon]

you just have to be out of it as soon as the lock in animation happens because of how absolutely inconsistent that aoe is compared to literally every other aoe in the game

[boreal edge]

its impossible to dodge at 270ms

[split falcon]

on the bright side, you can pull off some really bullshit ghost kills with it because the damage snapshots so fucking fast

[boreal edge]

in NA

[split falcon]

it's not impossible

you just have to keep moving

rather than be in the center when it locks in

[boreal edge]

i mean by normal baiting way

[stable basin]

Lights are super forgiving on ghosts

Maybe that's why they snapshot so early 🤔

[split falcon]

you mean what i just said

[stable basin]

idk they do have separate logic for ghosts because the ghosts die if they enter right after the lights explode

[split falcon]

just because the dmg snapshots early doesn't mean there's only one shapshot for dmg

[stable basin]

Unless that happens to people too but I'm not in the habit of checking

[split falcon]

i guarantee you walk into the light last second and you'll still probably get it

hit*

[opal hollow]

that's

a very interesting thing to try

[opal hollow]

holy shit

the 99 parse whm on my team

no wonder i was getting fucking edged

[pure yoke]

@split falcon I walked back in a second before it went off

and I didn't get clipped by it

[heavy mist]

nice snapshot

[opal hollow]

blm damage hnnnng

something i'venoticed

NA has diversity in jobs

like i never seen anything but rdm/blm in hunts

in jp

[heavy mist]

lol

i like my diversity being able to mess around with every class 👀

[opal hollow]

tru

god levelling classes is my least favourite thing in the game tbh

it basically combines everything i dislike into one package LOL

[past hamlet]

Only PLD 50-60

Cause that story is trash

[opal hollow]

eh

i just dislike doing dungeon runs LOL

unless it's like unsynced level 70 stuffs

[boreal edge]

looks like S rank

[opal hollow]

im always super cautious about PFs that are duty complete/completion but don't have any restriction

"weekly 2 chest" my ass

99% of the time it's a trap LMAO

[coarse radish]

They always are

Even if the host was making an actual weekly 2 chest, traps will join

[scenic patrol]

Well, I need to find a static for next tier now

Current one are good people so far but I'd like a static of higher caliber

[coarse radish]

I'd just like A static ;-;

[scenic patrol]

It's not too hard to find one

Just need one that are actually good

[coarse radish]

It is when your playtimes suck

I need midnight+

[scenic patrol]

I was approached by this static through a recommendation

But my schedule proved to be problematic

I am willing to take days off for prog

If the group is capable

[coarse radish]

Every static raids during my work hours lol, havent seen a recruitment for even any class with a time that works for me in almost 2 weeks

[scenic patrol]

They do that as well for me

But I can take 3 days off

So it can work out

I just need a fixed schedule

Because adjusting based on weeks will probably prove to be a headache with my limitations

[coarse radish]

I have a fixed schedule more or less but i can only actually raid around midnight or past midnight server time

So yeah :/

[scenic patrol]

You're on EU?

[coarse radish]

At this point ill take under 10 parses progging o5s, just would like something

[scenic patrol]

Oh right

[coarse radish]

Yeah

NA on EU

[spice comet]

Oh i usually post a thing

What was it

Ffxiv recruiter

[scenic patrol]

/r/FFXIVRECRUITMENT

[spice comet]

I got like a ton of responses back when i posted for sigmascape, over 10 in like the first week then more came after i had a static

Nah it's also a discord

[coarse radish]

I tried the crc discord

[spice comet]

Idk if i can link it here

[scenic patrol]

CRC

[spice comet]

Oh yeah for chaos, crc

[coarse radish]

I posted there a few times but 0 response lol

Guess ill keep posting as usual

:/

[spice comet]

Yeah think the one im talking of is primal and aether

[scenic patrol]

I can probably make my meme static into Alphascape prog

[spice comet]

If also depends, how did u do this tier

[scenic patrol]

But I am awful as a healer

[spice comet]

I got a static after clearing o3s back in delta on pug

[scenic patrol]

My parses for this tier are good enough to qualify for some good statics

[spice comet]

Well I'm a healer

[ornate blade]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[spice comet]

I'm shit

Idk my static is good

[scenic patrol]

Define good

[spice comet]

My coheals pulls my dps for me

When we prog I like sometimes remember theres a boss

[scenic patrol]

I'd say the static that I talked with is an excellent one

[dull radish]

Yeah good is a bit of a sliding metric based upon opinion

And there's more to be appealing to a group then just numbers for parses

[spice comet]

I usually consider good as statics with solid purple or higher dps

[scenic patrol]

My opinion of a good static is everyone capable of parsing purple

[spice comet]

Blue or higher tanks and my coheals has to be good to play with

[scenic patrol]

And of course mechanic awareness

[spice comet]

Tanks is more about mitigation

[ornate blade]

purple medians +

i guess

[spice comet]

Healer is more can u heal at the right times

Yeah its assumed u can mech if u pull purple on dps

[ornate blade]

idk melee is

extremely braindead

[spice comet]

My statics so far with purple dps nvr had mech issues or anything

[dull radish]

Generally yeah, but not exclusively so

[spice comet]

Yeah but do u rly want two greedy as fuck healers during prog?

I like having the balance of my coheals focusing on dps in prog vs me who inserts it after we hit enrage etc

[coarse radish]

The one static i was in so far had a bunch of grays but as long as you pass enrage should be fine

[scenic patrol]

Greeding during prog

[spice comet]

Is k they always greedy, they do mechs so idm

[dull radish]

Well, you can't completely forego greed on prog

You just have to know that balance

[scenic patrol]

Not greeding mechs

Greeding heals

[spice comet]

And their heals times r not bad, all my statics dps is greedy

[scenic patrol]

[dull radish]

Sometimes even that

[spice comet]

They greed dps lmao

[scenic patrol]

Being greedy about mechs after knowing them is fine

[spice comet]

I overheal usually in prog

[cloud bluff]

I don't parse very high (not sure why cause my rotations are fine and not completely BiS yet) but I know mechanics so it's pretty discouraging when people only care about numbers.

[dull radish]

Lot of times you're not necessarily even doing everything right if you're pressing buttons in the right order

[coarse radish]

If you can kill the dummy that's good enough for a baseline

If you can't yet then that's something ya gotta work on

[spice comet]

It's usually green or grey for my dps during a clear with majority healing, coheals is more like high blue to purple dps, and less heals, it works out

[scenic patrol]

Not being BiS at this point in the tier is not a good sign if you are here from week 1

IMO

[spice comet]

Yeah need the bis

Late

U can kill dummies at 350

On dps

[coarse radish]

Above 360 at least unless you are new

[spice comet]

Having bis in raid during prog tho

[cloud bluff]

Can't be helped since I'm pretty busy and haven't been able to find a static that has time slots that matches mine. Should I just not bother then? lol

[ornate blade]

the tier wasnt too hard to pug so

[scenic patrol]

Not really

[spice comet]

Is not possible assuming u prog at week 1

[ornate blade]

next should be fine

next tier

[coarse radish]

Just take your time and do it at your own pace

[scenic patrol]

It's not an attack on you

[coarse radish]

You have 2 months still

[spice comet]

Pug too

[scenic patrol]

It's just that I am not looking to join groups that haven't beaten the tier

[ornate blade]

i was i358 in like week 14

[spice comet]

Pugging is not as bad as ppl make it out to be, my first tier waa majority pug, i even clear o4s in pug then joined a static

[ornate blade]

never got drops since i only pugged

[cloud bluff]

Pugs have been cancerous. I spent so much time just trying to get my O5S clear because I couldn't find a competent party at the beginning of the tier.

[spice comet]

Yea the drops r just much rng

[scenic patrol]

I have cleared O5S week 3 iirc

[ornate blade]

progging through pug is cutthroat too

[scenic patrol]

Or 4

[spice comet]

Pugging?

I think it depends I make friends during pugging

[ornate blade]

ex, if you didnt clear 5 and 6 week 1 in pug

you just get left behind

[scenic patrol]

Joined a static in week like 12

[spice comet]

My second static was by pugging with the same ppl

[heavy mist]

Pugging is fine

[spice comet]

And it worked nicely

[heavy mist]

Cleared 5 and 6 by week 1

7 by week 2

Saw god at week 3

[spice comet]

Usually meet good players in pug and play with them more

[heavy mist]

But too lazy and school so pushed back 8 for a while

[coarse radish]

Or you can be like me and be forced to join late night pugs that stay in finder for an hour then disband without even doing the content

[heavy mist]

But I saw people clear pugs in week 2

[coarse radish]

Essentially wasting your days

:D

[ornate blade]

it took my forever to clear kefaust

[heavy mist]

U joining 0-1 chests?

[ornate blade]

but god was really fast

[cloud bluff]

I still need to clear God but not a lot of free time. 😦

[coarse radish]

Godka progs since i stopped playing for a while

[spice comet]

U also join certain ppl groups base on name

Pug scenes big on knowing who to join

Like i join some pts again if i prog with them before and we did good

For weekly clears later or w.e

[coarse radish]

My playtimes mean that i just join whatever is open if it is open and i can

[scenic patrol]

We can play on Saturday if you want

[coarse radish]

Finally got to see kefka again last night

[scenic patrol]

Need an O7S clear

And I really don't give a fuck about chests

[heavy mist]

Same except for 8

[cloud bluff]

I need my O7S clear for this week so hopefully that won't take too long tonight.

[heavy mist]

Unless its late in the week

[coarse radish]

3rd graven wipes into disband 15 mins in after sitting in pf for an hour and a half

[heavy mist]

Then w/e

[coarse radish]

And i consider that good for what i usually get

:/

[spice comet]

O8s is a healer and tank fight with minor dps mechs

[scenic patrol]

Well, for this tier I am now a Scholar until the end

[spice comet]

So its rly ur forced to rely on good ppl as dps for 8

[scenic patrol]

It's gonna be wild on O8S

[spice comet]

Otherwise we just all drop ded at forsakens

8s was like 4s

[heavy mist]

I just hate it when people lie about their weekly

[spice comet]

Biased fights

[heavy mist]

If they've cleared before or not

If u tell me you've never cleared

[ornate blade]

we had someone d/c as we cleared 7 this week

[coarse radish]

Ive stopped doing weeklies

[heavy mist]

Its better than me knowing later

[ornate blade]

and they didnt reconnect

ez 1 chest

😌

[heavy mist]

Eh weeklies I can practice new classes

So idm doing em

[coarse radish]

After a year of playing i still only got 1 70 class

So rip me

[scenic patrol]

Just level more

[coarse radish]

No one told me i was supposed to level other classes

[scenic patrol]

[ornate blade]

the good old days

[heavy mist]

Its enjoyable to play other classes imo

[scenic patrol]

It's really recommended as a raider to be flexible

[ornate blade]

where u needed to level war for mercy stroke

😌

[coarse radish]

So i just played a shitton of laggy drk

[scenic patrol]

I am gonna boost the 2 other healers on my main

Possibly

And level PLD by the end of the tier

[spice comet]

It's w.e even as a raider

[scenic patrol]

[coarse radish]

I have my whm at 69 so may as well finish it

[cloud bluff]

I plan on learning how to heal and tank in raids. I can do range and melee dps so far. Just need moar gear.

[spice comet]

Like i know ppl who play one class rly well

[ornate blade]

im pretty content only being good at 1 job

[spice comet]

They dont know shit about other classes

[scenic patrol]

Tanking ain't so hard

[ornate blade]

its so hard to learn other classes

dragoon has made me too rock brain

[scenic patrol]

If you wanna learn Warrior I can always help

[ornate blade]

[scenic patrol]

But I'd rather it happen in The Balance

It's more comfy there

[ornate blade]

i mean i can tank and heal

[cloud bluff]

I have White Mage, Astrologian, and Paladin leveled up, just need to get better gear and practice.

[coarse radish]

Btw are swaps needed for regular kefka? Because tanks keep asking for tankswap but i survive tankbusters just fine :/

[ornate blade]

im just avg or below avg

[heavy mist]

Yes

[spice comet]

"Oh that's suppose to heal me?" Someone said that to me about exog, this same person is an orange war and great at his job

[heavy mist]

Oh normal

[spice comet]

So there's ur one trick pony

[heavy mist]

Then no

[scenic patrol]

If you don't swap

Why are you bringing a second tank?

[heavy mist]

Savage kefka

Yes

[coarse radish]

I mean savage clown kefka

[ornate blade]

i dont think theres tank swaps

[heavy mist]

Yeah u should

[ornate blade]

in any normal content

[coarse radish]

Not godka

[ornate blade]

is there

[scenic patrol]

CDs are left unused if you don't swap

[heavy mist]

To relieve tank cds

[spice comet]

Normal ?

Or savage?

[ornate blade]

unless by regular kefka you mean door boss

[scenic patrol]

Kefaust

[ornate blade]

not sure what u meant

[heavy mist]

Imagine wasting a tank invulnerability

[ornate blade]

lmao

[spice comet]

There's swap in Faust savage

[coarse radish]

Savage clown

[spice comet]

Normal faceroll it

[heavy mist]

I mean technically there isn't but u should

[scenic patrol]

On Kefaust you swap every LoJ cast

[spice comet]

It's like usual for ppl to do loj swaps

[scenic patrol]

Standard strat

[spice comet]

Yeah that's the typical strat

[scenic patrol]

That way you can mitigate Auto attacks

[heavy mist]

O really 👀

[spice comet]

Y be detrimental to ur dps

[heavy mist]

Time to go in

[scenic patrol]

And invuln busters

[spice comet]

Yea u wanna swap

[coarse radish]

Ah, hmm, my first runs at it i never swapped and lived just fine

[spice comet]

Yeah but ur detrimental to ur healer dps

[scenic patrol]

That's not our point

[heavy mist]

What about godka

When is best to swap

[spice comet]

And ur other tank is jerking off too

[ornate blade]

pugs dont do the bigbrain uptime strat for 2nd tower

and it kills me inside

[spice comet]

Being a fake dps lmao

[heavy mist]

What big brain uptime

[scenic patrol]

Godka swaps are based on tank comp

[heavy mist]

🤔

[scenic patrol]

And strat

[ornate blade]

u put both melee puddles at the edge of the platform

so all 4 melee get uptime

after puddle

[spice comet]

God the tanks have to talk it out

There's multiple ways

[coarse radish]

Tbn + reprise + tank cd

[scenic patrol]

The 3 tank combos play quite differently on Godka

[unreal flax]

I love that strat. Only did it a couple of times and it's so fun.

[coarse radish]

Or ld if you fuck up

[scenic patrol]

DRK Warrior has shit ton of swaps

[heavy mist]

No one has ever told me that strat

Lol

[ornate blade]

brit experienced it once and hes hooked

its like crack

[unreal flax]

it's cute

[ornate blade]

uptime is crack

[scenic patrol]

Meanwhile WAR Paladin has 2 swaps

[heavy mist]

Thanks duty complete, no one cares

[spice comet]

There's so many drks that dont know drk-war correctly

[heavy mist]

They just want weeklies and get out

[spice comet]

Drk plays it like they're pld

[scenic patrol]

DRK WAR is the big brain combo for Godka

[heavy mist]

Drk war no bleed

[spice comet]

Its the worst cause then u force ur sch to mitigate for u

[heavy mist]

[spice comet]

Legit love carrying that

[heavy mist]

Suck it hyperdrive

[spice comet]

Its cause drks dont know drk-war

[unreal flax]

I have feint on my bar. I wanna use feint. I never know which one is getting soaked lol

[spice comet]

Bleed can be better if they didn't swap on just forsaken like pld-war, and then they wonder y they can't clear

[heavy mist]

Some of the wars don't event know drk war

So its a two way thing

[spice comet]

Uh cause ur healers need to heal like 18k total for u is how u do clear

[scenic patrol]

Brit that depends on strat

[heavy mist]

[scenic patrol]

Just feint the stack ups

Instead

[heavy mist]

As far as I know feint embrace

[scenic patrol]

Or some random autos

[heavy mist]

Forsaken 1 autos

💦

[scenic patrol]

PLD WAR has only 1 or 2 Embraces that are not invulned

[heavy mist]

As far as I know its one

4th iirc?

[scenic patrol]

UE 4 or 3 and 5

[heavy mist]

Never had to feint 3 and 5th so far

[scenic patrol]

I prefer sharing 3 and 5

And Holmgang 4

[heavy mist]

Makes sense

U stacked already

So

[unreal flax]

OH! Futures/Pasts?

[scenic patrol]

Also 4 happens right after wings

Yes

Brit

[unreal flax]

THOSE ARE PHYSICAL! YES

[scenic patrol]

Those are physical

[unreal flax]

I totally forgot lmao

I was so focused on Embrace that I forgot those are physical

[heavy mist]

Pugs don't appreciate feint :(

Feelsbad

[scenic patrol]

Anyhow use Feint after Ultima

First time

Best place

The one after Celestriad

What's the duration on feint?

!action feint

[storm frost]

**Feint** : lvl 40 None (120 second cooldown)

Lowers target's strength and dexterity by 10%.
Duration: 10s

[scenic patrol]

Oh

Good shit

Yeah it's perfect there

Boss does like 4 autos

[opal hollow]

WAR-WAR is best combo

imo

oh shit i didn't;scroll down

LOL

im late with that i guess

[coarse radish]

You mean 7 dps 1 healer

[opal hollow]

god

im shivering

at the fucking enmity problems

[coarse radish]

6 use emnity reducers

[scenic patrol]

One Warrior can just Shirk after the opener

[coarse radish]

1 doesnt

Ez

[opal hollow]

man

[scenic patrol]

And save Provoke to swap

[opal hollow]

i lose enmity to pug whms

[scenic patrol]

Since the Enmity is front loaded on IR

[opal hollow]

all the fucking time

through a circleshirk

it's so annoying

[unreal flax]

Or you could just run with 4 NINs and Shadewalker everyone.

[coarse radish]

Or have healer tank it

[scenic patrol]

Just swap out the Onslaught

For 2 BB combos

[opal hollow]

yeha

i do that

LOL

[scenic patrol]

Like I probably told ya

[opal hollow]

i had a fucking god whm

didn't generate any enmity for some reason

legit had decent dps

fucking edged me to hell though

[unreal flax]

Hacked the packets. 12s CD on Lucid

[scenic patrol]

If that is not enough you can always delay Unchained

Start the pull with Defiance

Do a regular 4 GCD IR

And swap out to Defiance Unchained

Do BB
Eye
BB

If you have another slashing source

And take the loss with one IB usage

If that is not enough

Shirk the WHM

[opal hollow]

LMAO

i opt for the last one

[scenic patrol]

Eh I'd rather not compromise a weekly

You should still be able to parse Orange even with that retarded ass opener

[heavy mist]

Compensating for peoples mistakes

Feelsbad

[scenic patrol]

[heavy mist]

I should do more 0 chests

Zzzz

But so many freaking two chests

[zinc vortex]

😔

[heavy mist]

Then 0 chests never want a drg

[zinc vortex]

nice perf avg

[heavy mist]

[scenic patrol]

I was still learning

Also I upload shit runs

[heavy mist]

I upload everything

If I died 3 times and clear

Its uploaded

If I do 3k deeps its uploaded

What class

[ornate blade]

my kefaust median

[heavy mist]

The frick

[ornate blade]

is legit an anchor

its fucking drowning my front page

[heavy mist]

Meh

[ornate blade]

save me

[zinc vortex]

i upload everything too hello 😔

https://i.gyazo.com/19726e1a6ec92d3e9354add1cd9f0e8e.png

[heavy mist]

89 kills

[zinc vortex]

[scenic patrol]

My pref avg and asp is higher

[heavy mist]

Sigh I guess I don't try hard enough on drg

[zinc vortex]

i'm just trash

😌

[heavy mist]

I always let people get more uptime if I need to do their mechanics

Godka skulls please

[zinc vortex]

hey i see

iateyourpie emotes

[heavy mist]

[zinc vortex]

yeet

good choice 👌🏻

[ornate blade]

nah fam u gotta just stand max melee at an intercardinal during skulls

dont move out

😤

[heavy mist]

Then the other person too close

Then zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

We die wipe

And go again

[zinc vortex]

[heavy mist]

If I stand far out enough and adjust we clear

Zzzzzzz

[heavy mist]

🖕

[ornate blade]

very difficult fight

[heavy mist]

I'm too nice to people :(

[unreal flax]

Man, who was that person with OVER ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY O6S kills?

[zinc vortex]

i adapt to other people too

:)

except the only people in my FC raid group that want to optimize are the

red mage and paladin

the rest gives fuck all

[ornate blade]

omg

that samurai

[zinc vortex]

including myself

[ornate blade]

that had more o6s kills

than i had total kills for the tier

what a legend

[unreal flax]

Fuckin wild days

[ornate blade]

like 180 something kills of 6s

[unreal flax]

What's worse, if I remember correctly

only ever purple

[zinc vortex]

lol my group's paladin does o6s runs to cap tomes

because he enjoys o6s

[heavy mist]

Guess I'll get more practice when tier unlocks

[unreal flax]

yikes

[heavy mist]

Or something

[ornate blade]

i hate it cause pugs cant kill it fast

[heavy mist]

O6s zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Ridorana is omegalul

[ornate blade]

5s is a VERY difficult fight

[heavy mist]

I just do it cause everyone so bad

And my tank dps is higher than most dps

[unreal flax]

O5S is a yuck fight, but it's not the worst. O1S is the worst thing

[ornate blade]

idk

i kinda owe it to 1s

for teaching me to use elusive well

[heavy mist]

1s

The epitome of my greed

Said suck it to anyone near me and healers

[unreal flax]

When I was with Nova's group, we were able to seven man it back at like i325 lol. We found out when a RDM joined our 2chest and dc'd immediately after the first elements.

[heavy mist]

Uptime or no time

[unreal flax]

At that point, I completely stopped caring about that fight

[scenic patrol]

Alte snoozr

[ornate blade]

well

most of the fights are pretty low dps checks

[scenic patrol]

It's the first raid I actually completed

[heavy mist]

It is a nice fight to practice mechanics and DPS for a new class

[scenic patrol]

So there is that

[heavy mist]

So I have to give it that at least

When it was unlocked

Got to play many things 👀

[unreal flax]

I think I have one clear of O1S and O2S where I didn't die lol

[scenic patrol]

I cleared O1S on main with Sigma BiS

[heavy mist]

Lol

[scenic patrol]

Wyrm tails are less awful than Godka crits

[ornate blade]

i fucking hated neo

[scenic patrol]

No

[ornate blade]

partially cause i was really bad

[scenic patrol]

I already have known the fight

[ornate blade]

so id always fuck up elusiving flood of naught

[scenic patrol]

Like the back of my hand

[stable basin]

i want more mechanic like clamp

get hit -zoom-

[scenic patrol]

Cleared it like 10 times on my NA alt

Before that

During Delta unlock

[unreal flax]

I was a MNK during Delta so I could just Shoulder Tackle lol

BUT, so often

I'd fuckin melt because I'd get greedy and move ahead of the tanks and eat 90k damage lmao

I didn't know the positioning for side ice clamp. rippo

So I'd either slide off due to fucking up or slide too far to dps due to fucking up

[split falcon]

gauss barrel... macro'd?

[scenic patrol]

Lexine was about to be bitchy

[unreal lance]

Isn't ctrl+a weird to hit

+plus it locks your movement

[unreal lance]

I only have so many buttons to use aswell 🤔

[scenic patrol]

You just map your buttons better

Have fun with thin ice if it's there in next tier

[worthy vigil]

Who loses the least rdps from the 05s cheese?

[stable basin]

You mean by doing it?

RDM gives up basically nothing

idk how SAM or NIN do it though

[heavy mist]

Just make rdm do it if u have one

But having the war do it isn't like the end of the world

Unless u going for 100

[stable basin]

ofc most rdm play it because they're too bad for other jobs so they think you're joking when you ask them to do passenger skip

[scenic patrol]

NIN and WAR lose comparable dps

RDPS wise

Especially since Adds are irrelevant in optimization

And that 2nd IR can be popped in trick

[unreal flax]

Y'all still doin O5S?

[thorn bear]

when u die in o5s cause the war doesn't wanna do the ksip

and you don't reach a dps ghjost in time

[normal mesa]

i hate that

get too use to fast groups and die to mechs you normally skip

[thorn bear]

"please no war skip"

????????????????????????

it's like week 69

[normal mesa]

i mean if someone just came back from a break

i can see it

friend of mine skipped this tier but plans to farm up gear when he comes back soon

[scenic patrol]

He still needs to learn the fights

[thorn bear]

its not even the war calling for that

it's a dps

[stable basin]

Why does a dps not want war skip

Do they need to pad that badly

[normal mesa]

ye he will johni. fast learner. but if he decided to go war, i would ask them to not let him do it lmfao

im like my dude pls stay on your pld this tier, he asks why

I'm like i dont trust you for war skip

lol

[stable basin]

I ran yesterday with someone who was doing savage as war for the first time and he did it fine

[normal mesa]

he's...not terrible at the game

but

i don't trust him to remember it first few times ngl

lil spacey

[stable basin]

Its like 3 buttons

[normal mesa]

he'd forget first few times lol

i have clamp flashbacks HE WAS ON RDM MY DUDE WHY

[thorn bear]

it legit isn't hard lol

only if your pc is a potato

[stable basin]

Mine's outdated at this point and I still work RDM skip every time

You gotta have a serious potato to fail it

this is endgame

[normal mesa]

he's on ps4

[thorn bear]

Funnily enough

I do it more consistently on ps4

my PC isn't the best

so my first time thru I don't think I load fast enough

even tho

it should be consistent

[unreal flax]

You suffer the effect of Beyond Death

[thorn bear]

when you look at the BiS for your class and see a bunch of mendacity equipment

;_;

[normal sable]

How is that bad

[thorn bear]

cause I'm just picking up drg and now gotta get all these accessories and shit

[scenic patrol]

it's much easier to gear up using pages

if you have raided for sometime

meanwhile I didn't bother to cap for like 2 months

[thorn bear]

it is but I'd like to actually aim for a BiS

[ornate blade]

its better to need mendacity right side than tomes

imo

2.44 is evenly split, 6 mend 6 raid

[heavy mist]

I want 2.46 :( 2.44 has me like zzzz

But I found out that I need an acc from o5s

Zzzzz

[ornate blade]

only diff is 1 piece isnt it?

i gotta check

ya lol

only diff is bracelet

[heavy mist]

i spent my pages

so need to wait 😦

cause its life opener is so much nicer

[unreal flax]

Join 2 chest. Clear. Leave with page. Feels Brit man.

[normal mesa]

that fucking blows

[unreal flax]

That's another week of people with diamond weapons taking the diamond coffer lmao

four in a row

Lucky for me, she was a super cute FemRoe, so I'm not upset about it. Well, not any more than I have been.

[heavy mist]

just get used to it Brit

youll get the coffer when savage unlocks

[unreal flax]

yup

If it doesn't unlock in the August patch, then I'll still be sitting here holding my dick every week complaining about my low rolls lmao

[boreal edge]

or kill it 4 more times

[unreal flax]

Yeah, that's what I mean.

I gotta buy one of my two weapons.

[near inlet]

well 4.4 is mid sept right?

[unreal flax]

Yeah

[near inlet]

so thats like the 2nd or 3rd week then

so I'd assume that sigma would unlock like late August then

like 2nd last week or last week

[unreal flax]

That's what they did with Delta, so there's precedent.

[near inlet]

and even in HW too

[boreal edge]

delta was unlocked far sooner

i feel they delayed eureka way too much

we should have eureka by now

[near inlet]

isnt there like 4.37

8 and 9

[boreal edge]

no

[near inlet]

oh rip

[boreal edge]

4.38 will be sigma unlock

along with solvent being available by both hunts and 24 man

if they follow the current trend

sigma will unlock at 28th aug

so 2 weeks to get bis be4 4.4

which will be

at 11st september

[pure yoke]

technically

if they follow how HW did things

Sigmascape wouldn't be unlocked until 4.4

but that is if they follow HW pattern

[heavy mist]

Plus we dunno if 4.4 is coming on sept 11

We can guess and speculate but its not confirmed

Officially

They could be like time to delay 4.4 lul

[boreal edge]

except delta unlocked in 4.18

[heavy mist]

Doesn't mean sigma will

No hard confirm

[elder dawn]

new patch coming on 9/11 anniversary

[boreal edge]

if they follow the 112 days trend

it will drop at 11st sep

it will be 119 in 18th sep

[pure yoke]

Gordias was unlocked before Midas

Midas was not unlocked before Creator

[boreal edge]

gordias was unlocked be4 midas?

when that happened

i was playing ffxiv since 2.0

[pure yoke]

wait I been lied to

[boreal edge]

and that never happened before delta

[pure yoke]

I just checked the patch notes

guess we will see in umm

early August

or late August

[boreal edge]

wont unlock early aug

they will invalidate eureka

the moment it drop

which they dont want to

[pure yoke]

if you can't do savage, it doesn't invalidate it

[boreal edge]

finding a grp farming fight is easier than finding a grp just to do weekly

[stable basin]

you can solo savage

[heavy mist]

K

[cursive spear]

RDM can solo anything

[dull radish]

Sure <3

Sure haha. And yeah second time through on ridorana on BLM feels a lot better than first time through, there's a few slightly annoying things that you won't really be used to the timing for on the first go

not too bad

[unreal flax]

Last night, I was in O8S and I had a SMN who was really good DPS. So, she got tether. BUT ALSO (and this is the important part), she was also a FemRoe, so she got the tether. It was like we were sisters!

Except

She took my coffer

BUT

BUT

FemRoes stand up for other FemRoes.

so it ok

[scenic patrol]

Only problem with SMN tether is that it doesn't affect pet

[unreal flax]

ARE YOU SERIOUS?

[stable basin]

drg pls give tether to bahamut

[boreal edge]

not all jobs supported fully

[dull radish]

it's also generally still a work in progress

[boreal edge]

and not all jobs supported at all

smn and rdm are the most complete

[lyric summit]

what if you tether an egi directly

[last galleon]

not sure if they count as party member for the drg
