Gotta hit a WAR from behind with prechange Intuition

#

Get that guaranteed crit

opal hollow
#

That worked?

#

Nice

arctic field
#

I think that was for all of one patch

opal hollow
#

Did awareness cancel that out? 😏

arctic field
#

No idea

past hamlet
#

What about hitting WAR?

snow girder
#

Can Scholar still critlo a warrior with raw intiutuion?

dull radish
#

no

#

that was patched out very quick

#

well like

#

you can

#

but you can't get guaranteed crit

snow girder
#

Damn. Thanks

vital cypress
#

dead content question time

#

the stupid way to do GCO for idiots is for everyone but the SCH to jump off the level, have them dodge everything (and resolve beyond death somewhere in there) then LB3 right

#

right after almagest goes off?

dull radish
#

almagest is too late

#

you'd need to have LB go off to have people raise after the flood of naught, before the almagest

#

alternatively with enough raid dps you can probably just clear before GCO now

vital cypress
#

this assumes the scholar isn't a moron

#

(the scholar is a moron)

#

i don't know how low Ned was when we were hitting GCO last night, lots of dying was involved along the way though :x

dull radish
#

honestly if you're looking to cheese GCO a bit you're probably best off just making sure the folsk with allagan field live through GCO at least and just tank LB the flood

#

trivializes the damage from the flood, allagan field, and then it's just the alma

true lark
#

grats @steel nimbus uwu down

vital cypress
#

ned is still kinda hard surprisingly

steel nimbus
#

are you posting this everywhere

vital cypress
#

though i guess no one in my static was actually playing back when it was relevant

sullen sable
#

Lmao congrats

heavy mist
#

congrats Clees

unreal flax
#

Congrats!

opal hollow
#

damn

#

finally got my 10 runs done of tsuku ex

#

turns out not having min ilvl as a requirement stops you from getting trapped as hard

glass gale
#

What's the uptime gain on WAR strat in o5s?

boreal edge
#

u hit boss the moment he reappear?

#

that free 15 secs with no mechanics

opal hollow
#

does anyone have a guess as to when sigma savage unlocks?

#

people were saying next week

boreal edge
#

no way

#

they would invalidate eureka the moment it drop

hybrid rapids
#

Guess isn’t going to be accurate anyway

boreal edge
#

should be late august

hybrid rapids
#

I would say eureka

#

It will unlocks when eureka hits is my guess

boreal edge
#

well it supposed to be

#

if eureka isnt included

#

eureka supposed to be here last week

#

but got delayed too much

dull radish
#

I don't see why the unlock can't come the same time as eureka

boreal edge
#

but i guess they did delay so they release it with MHW in same time

#

than do 2 different patches

opal hollow
#

i feel like eureka and sigma overlapping shouldn't matter

dull radish
#

It doesn't

opal hollow
#

people who do eureka for gear will do eureka for gear

boreal edge
#

why do eureka when you could get i370 in 3 weeks

opal hollow
#

and vice versa for sigma

dull radish
#

People aren't suddenly gonna start doing Savage that weren't already

opal hollow
#

^

quick verge
#

agreed

arctic field
#

Being unlocked won't magically make them better either...

lucid karma
#

People can also see no point going for BiS/max ilvl because they don't play seriously in the first place

#

Also being casual doesn't equal being bad

#

You can be bad yet still have a lot of time played, like me haha

I hope the moonfaire event comes soon, i need those shades ;-;

#

Your Future Chat ModeratorToday at 3:21 AM why do eureka when you could get i370 in 3 weeks

#

???????????

#

the point of eureka isn't gear though

#

it's glamour and timekiller content

#

lmao

lucid karma
#

Even so i350 is enough for almost every content right now

#

Providing you are good for enough

topaz wolf
#

350 is enough for every piece of content besides Ultima

boreal edge
#

@valid gate except its not for glam?

opal hollow
#

o8s at 350 monkaS

boreal edge
#

u dont need to be raider to justify ilvl increase

#

but i know what u talking about from raider pov

valid gate
#

it's for glamour.

#

you can do it for ilvl, but it's for glamour.

boreal edge
#

@opal hollow ppl did it

#

its very tough

#

but possible

opal hollow
#

yeah it's possible

#

but damn

#

that's still scary as fuck

valid gate
#

it wasn't that tough

opal hollow
#

tbh idk dps damage output at 350

#

i've never seen good players at that ilvl

boreal edge
#

clearing raid tier 1st week is clser to clearing ultimate fight in term of intensity

valid gate
#

no

#

it's not

opal hollow
#

i know i can pull 6k at i355 if im not being bad

valid gate
#

lol.

quick verge
#

im stupid

opal hollow
#

but i350 seems a bit diferent

valid gate
#

the two literally aren't even comparable.

boreal edge
#

u wanna tell me

#

that kefaust dps check was joke on i350

#

compared to now?

valid gate
#

once you had the sequence down, yes, it was not hard.

#

i think we had... one clean faustka wipe ever.

dull radish
#

There's also a large difference between being a joke and being very tough

#

It wasn't a walk in the park but it's nowhere near comparable to ultimate

valid gate
#

comparing four fights that you can pound out in a single day to a single fight that takes almost a week+ to clear doesn't really make sense

dull radish
#

Mmhmm

lucid karma
#

also skill level matters

#

for everyone in your team

#

not even one man superstar can carry everyone else to victory

boreal edge

@lucid karma we did carry certain o1s

here's the thing sicko

How do you do that low as a healer though

hoary socket
#

Pretty sure you can get that low if you only push healing buttons. feelschromosomeman

1.3k as DPS how ponder

#

I thought that was a tank

quick verge
#

1.3k as dps

#

wow that is

#

impressive

frosty stag
#

mb he just jump off the cliff or something

#

I had 1 like that in my o1s too

#

he's just dead 80% of the time

steep iris
#

did you guys clear

frosty stag
#

I'm just glad I manage 3.1k as PLD mewpaissa

steep iris
#

prob thought he was doing some mad dps

frosty stag
#

I used clemency and pulling in there

#

but still 3.1k so I felt good

grizzled seal

is that o1s

#

how do people still die there

frosty stag
#

fresh learning with my friends and some pug

#

we were just fooling around in deltascape savage

sour solstice
#

@frosty stag the 1.3 was apparently a nin

#

idk how you get that low as nin

hoary socket
#

Death

waxen wagon
#

how much more difficult is sigmascape savage v3 and v4 compared to the first two?

sour solstice
#

its quite a jump from 6 to 7

steep iris
#

deaths matter much more

#

if 1 guy's dead during certain mechs it's prob a wipe

#

if people can't pull their weight then you'll hit enrage

waxen wagon
#

are the mechanics harder to memorize compared to 6 and 7?

steep iris
#

yeah

#

anything is harder than 6s tbh

sour solstice
#

^

steep iris
#

cause 6s is pretty braindead

#

honestly the real difficulty for 7s is finding a good group

sour solstice
#

as a dps yeah

#

if you get bad pugs shit like virus/bilbio/dada can all wipe you

steep iris
#

this late in the tier, most people who are attempting to clear 7s are either the bads who've been blocked by the difficulty wall

sour solstice
#

im in the bads category

steep iris
#

but not to say everybody in practice/clear parties are bad

sour solstice
#

😔

steep iris
#

some people have joined the tier late or some people just want to help out

waxen wagon
#

i have a guild that has cleared it already, but wants to take me along so i could experience the content. but i'm not sure i even want to go, in case i make them regret it.

#

i had no trouble with 6, but it took me a while to do the last kiss properly for 7.

steep iris
#

go for it

#

if you can do your individual mechanics right for 5s and 6s you'll be fine honestly

#

like I said, the real difficulty is getting a good group

spice comet
#

U doing mechs correctly or incorrectly has more impact in 3/4 and 7/8 but it's better to go in to learn if u have an experienced group

steep iris
#

also callouts for 7s helps a LOT

severe notch
#

it's quite a big of a jump

steep iris
#

I'm assuming your fc will call out the mechs for you

#

before going in you might want to watch a vid/read a guide though

#

knowing what to expect makes the fight a lot easier

#

it's also important that you understand how virus phase works

sour solstice
#

Kiss is in 6

#

not 7

steep iris
#

it's not hard at all, just confusing

spice comet
#

The comparison is it takes a mc group like 3 hrs to clear 5+6 day raid released then it takes them about 9ish for 7s clear

sour solstice
waxen wagon
#

oh, sorry.

spice comet
#

In terms of difficulty its that kind of jump

waxen wagon
#

i see...

hoary socket
#

Have run with Rot passing lol

spice comet
#

Well assuming u go with ppl who alrdy clear, it's rly just u learning the mechs and them not messing up too much for a clear

#

He could skip rot entirely if his pt does it lol

hoary socket
#

True. Just be glad you don't need to pass it for almost the entire first like in coil

waxen wagon
#

alright, thanks everyone. i'll read/watch the guides first and see how i feel about it.

quick verge

rot passing isn't hard

just don't have everyone stack

I put off doing kefka for so long that the only people still doing it can't even get past kefaust in a godka enrage party, forget about regular kefaust training parties.

Kefka's definitely the hard part. People panic on G.Kef and let him intimidate them into stupid mistakes.

basically if you can get to god kefka, you've already proven that you should be able to beat him

it might just take a while ),:

#

Ah alright, ive seen faust enrage a few times so its just a matter of getting decent dps in pf

vast echo

so if the weekly lockout will be removed someday, do you also get 1 datalog for every kill?

yes

1 datalog and all chests

I just started progging godka as whm. What do you guys think is the hardest part for healers?

heavy mist
#

as a non healer id assume any big healing portion

#

Forsakens/LOJ/the thing that brings u to low hp

scenic patrol
#

Forsaken 1

#

Hardest phase to heal in the fight

#

F2 is top up and put out hots

unreal flax
#

Heartless Archangel seems toxic af tbh

scenic patrol
opal hollow
#

Doesn't f3 and f4 has the same mechanic as f1

scenic patrol
#

You have no idea Brit

unreal flax
#

Yeah

scenic patrol
#

F1 is more heal intensive due to having 2 Heartless casts

thorn bear
#

mfw we have a whm and monk with no ninja in o8s

#

you know what i haven't seen in forever actually is a whm stealing aggro in kefaust

#

that used to be a huge problem when I was in learning parties

#

was whm almost stealing aggro before first graven

light wagon
#

How do you guys deal with it? I wiped through forsaken 1 a lot of times. Seems like a lot of Medica spamming?

unreal flax
#

Medica 2 + Cure 3 should be enough if the other healer hits Lustrate.

thorn bear
#

u mean

#

unreal flax

lmao yes

thank you

lemme just uhhhh

cast lustrate on the MT real quick

Lmao shut up Johni, I have a Diamond Codex. I'm ovb best SCH

scenic patrol

#

Honestly, I'm so reactive as a healer that SCH just does not work for me.

And the co healer is an AST one trick

thorn bear

it's some real suffering

#

I never wanna look at butchers block but gotta do what ya gotta do

well, given there is so many AST PoV now

We've had a WHM without a NIN for godka and it hasn't been the worst

JP does North to East / South to West

quick verge
#

So do you drag the boss towards east for Melee uptime

lucid karma
#

nah boss just stay near north circle

#

so melee+tank instantly lock north circle and start moving immediately

#

just sprint shortly before circles appear

opal hollow

generally people go circle -> 1 GCD -> Circle

it's so fucking annoying when they do like 2+ GCDs

cuz then post-virus you are just sitting ducks there

glad tapir

can anyone send me the link of fflogs discord?

#

golden zenith
#

What fights are worth logging to see what I'm doing wrong?

last galleon
#

if you just want to check rotational issues, even a dummy parse would do

#

depends on what you want to get out of it, i guess

grizzled seal
#

ex primals, o5s-o8s, ucobm uwu

scenic patrol
#

any fight imo

ornate blade
scenic patrol
#

but for general rotational shit just log O6S

last galleon
#

if you want a non-dummy fight that has 100% uptime to see how you execute while mechanics are happening, then godka would be a good one

frosty stag
#

godka mewpaissa

last galleon
#

godka is great to parse. no bullshit downtime or add phases.

golden zenith
#

I saw a website that does an analysis of your logs for you, would it also work for dummy logs?

last galleon
#

yes

#

assuming you meant xiva

#

some jobs are unsupported/only have basic support though

#

so depending on what job you want to analyze you might not get a comprehensive answer

dull radish
#

if your job is on there, it's good as an overall, here's some things you might be doing wrong, and can be a cozy self-check using it

#

but if you want detailed information, it's good to have folks that also play the job, take a look

sour solstice
#

what job

golden zenith
#

I want to try black mage and summoner

last galleon
#

you're in luck then, SMN is the most fleshed out atm

#

and BLM is actively being worked on

golden zenith
#

Guidelines should be good enough for a newb

dull radish
#

BLM stuff is getting better on there, but some things that end up being "issues" are necessary evils and not actually always the wrong thing to do

#

and I think the always be casting meter might still be slightly off, but at least it should be closer

#

yeah like, it's just kinda the nature of some stuff, like apoc or addle or surecast or even swiftcast

#

it'll say, hey you clipped to weave this, but if you hadn't, it wouldn't have been up

golden zenith
#

This might be the wrong channel to ask, but if i get more spell speed, does that make my GCDs shorter, or does it just let me end my spell casts before my next GCD is up?

last galleon
#

shorter GCD

dull radish
#

most technically, spellspeed affects both cast and recast speed

#

so both your GCD and your cast times are shorter with more spellspeed

#

it's an important distinction to be made when you have casts that are longer or shorter than GCD

last galleon
#

ah right BLMs.

golden zenith
#

Is there any way to make my casts take less time than my GCD?

#

My enochian always clips thunder3

last galleon
#

as SMN our recast and GCD are always the same so i don't really think about that factor

dull radish
#

that enochian clip is a necessary evil

#

it's far better than any other alternative

#

as BLM your casts will never be faster than your GCD

#

only AST has that luxury

golden zenith
#

:(

topaz wolf
#

its the right answer in o6s

#

but not in other fights

dull radish
#

it's technically not even the most right answer for 6

#

it's just the one that everyone uses

#

because the alternative is dumb and memes

#

but technically better

boreal edge
#

scathe?

dull radish
#

precast freeze

boreal edge
topaz wolf
#

LOL

dull radish
#

yes

topaz wolf
#

freeze has a use lmao

dull radish
#

I don't htink anyone has actually done it

#

but laqi came up with it

#

and on paper it's a gain

last galleon
#

wow

dull radish
#

but it's just so dumb

golden zenith
#

I don't have freeze on my hotbar

last galleon
#

surprise freeze

#

same

topaz wolf
#

freeze doesnt have to hit to give you UI

#

and thats why right?

dull radish
#

it does

#

but

#

you can precast it

#

so instead of second cast starting after a GCD

#

it starts on pull

#

and you can skip that B3

last galleon
#

it's an area target instead of enemy target iirc

dull radish
#

yeah

last galleon
#

so it's just like preplacing shadowflare with SMN

dull radish
#

it's also uh

#

technically probably good in 5?

#

anywhere else would be more memes than I care to tread to even consider

topaz wolf
#

if its better in that scenario

#

isnt it better in every

#

since b3 is just too long

last galleon
#

here's hoping for more freeze memes in alphascape.

dull radish
#

it would depend on triple timing and value from it

#

the main difference here is

#

you are starting the fight without UI/AF, you can't precast unless you precast freeze (or B2)

#

for transitions mid fights you have AF/UI

topaz wolf
#

train transition precast without triple sounds nice

#

no more long boring b3/f3 can just do normal opener

#

also kefaust sometimes if you accidentally used triple

#

thanks for the idea

#

yeah both defiance and deliverance are oGCD, very cozy stance dancing

defiance/deliverance are ogcd

Only rotation

quick verge

made it past 2nd forsaken

#

ez clap

#

so after 2rd Forsaken

#

you drag Kefka to a cardinal direction for celestriad 2?

dull radish
#

Or you do center celestriad~ but yeah

#

Gotta move him right after light of judgement

opal hollow
#

Do you guys place godka clones south?

#

Or do you do cross strat

dull radish
#

only cross strat I've seen is for skulls, clones are always put to the south

quick verge
#

Yeah that's what I've seen

opal hollow
#

ooo thank god

#

i'm honestly not keen for relearning godka

#

but it sounds like the only difference is north trine

north trine?

#

Skulls are handled vertically

#

not by cross

#

aka, this

dull radish
#

yeah, they were asking about a cross strat for kefka clones on forsaken 2

vital cypress
#

is there an advantage to doing rad skulls mad heads either way?

quick verge
#

whatever you like better i guess

dull radish
#

you can just stand there for cross skulls and not have to move at all

#

and have your skull come to you

#

but it can be a bit annoying on healers and especially tanks sometimes

#

since they have to deal with double drill there, too

regal halo
#

PUGS are unstable all the time

dull radish
#

going to the same side for skulls is safer, thus often a good pug strat yeah

regal halo
#

so the above method is by far the most stable strat

dull radish
#

just means you might have to kite skull slightly

normal sable
#

Look at all the no uptime on that skull strat

but less chance of overlapping explosions

I've never seen a diagram or anything for middle celestriad but today in a pug the mt forgot to drag him to the edge and we somehow improvised a center celestriad it with no one dying it was magical

#

wiped to 3rd forsaken anyways soulsurrender

ornate blade
#

line strat 🤢

dull radish
#

there's two general ways to do center celestriad in a more planned fashion haha. You either have two dps share a corner, and spread a bit after thunder resolves before fire does, since there's a very short time to adjust there before the fire goes off

#

or you send a dps to stack with the tanks/healers, and you get some healing after the healer/tank stack goes off, before dps fire goes off

lyric summit
#

yeah there's 4 fires and 4 corners, and a stack, there's not enough space, I don't geddit

dull radish
#

our group actually did center celestriad haha

quick verge
#

ok but where's intercardinal celestriad

dull radish
#

we had the NIN and the BRD share SE corner, and after thunder went off NIN swung a bit south and BRD went a bit to the east

opal hollow
#

I swear line Strat is way worse than cross strat for skulls

#

Ive seen 0dps die with cross strat

boreal edge
#

@opal hollow cross strat make it easier to melee uptime

glad tapir
#

i do both and you may right cross makes it easier for dps but kills tanks/heals frequency because dps pull they heads through the centre, you miss only uptime on line strats when both melees get the same side even then its a really short uptime miss

craggy gate
#

REEffter idk about frequently because if you do cross right they don't go directly through the middle

glad tapir
#

well if you have greedy melees it will for sure kill tanks, they also not in death center

snow girder
#

RDM Has the lowest personal dps currently right?

glad tapir
#

i think BRD

#

at least they are pretty close together to be the lowest

#

overall seems brd slightly lower

lyric summit
#

bard is too comp dependent it's so sad

#

drg and sch or you're blue forever

uncut charm
#

well the thing is these days, the typical raid group have a BRD/MCH + DRG fixed isn't it

hybrid rapids
#

RDM is lowest

#

BRD showing as lowest because there're way too many casual players can't play a BRD well

glad tapir
#

well i could say from RDM arnt it? xD

#

even you look at 99% logs BRD still has lower overall

#

but its depends on fight which is lower

uncut charm
#

I must be one of those causals then 😦

#

I usually do more on RDM than BRD 😦

hybrid rapids
#

that's why you don't rely on ffxiv statistic alone

#

it isn't accurate

#

for example 99% of 26k uploaded parse of BRD

#

vs 99% of 13k RDM

#

the comparison isn't fair at all

#

unless you can show me a 99% of 26k RDM and BRD

#

also, it doesn't filter out the catered log as well

uncut charm
#

I mean if you want to make a fair comparison, certain variables cannot be a variable

#

assuming the same player who plays both RDM and BRD and he/she have the same skill level and mastery of the job

#

I don't think the numbers for BRD will be higher than RDM

#

I think that is the point

glad tapir
#

it has nothing to do with fair or not fair and its dosent mean that more BRD casual, its also can be just mean that RDM easier to play and easier to do better dps as a avarage skilled RDM then as a avarage skilled BRD, but sure you have BRDs thats raid without DRG which also drag him down so its kind hard to say who is really the lowest but at least they are really close to each other for sure to be the lowest

hybrid rapids
#

BRD is too RNG base proc

#

😔

#

RDM is higher if solely on dummy parse

lyric summit
#

yeah every static wants a DRG and a BRD, but people rebel whenever I try to lock a melee slot to drg for weeklies in pugs soulsurrender

#

had a 3% enrage into disband but I'm sure a dying samurai and undergeared monk was the way to go instead of waiting for a drg

#

never getting my bow 💁

blazing pelican
#

SAM only gets one possible slot in my pfs and that's the free space

there's too many and most are really bad

well in the group were i raid as BRD we have a SAM and BLM so yeah rip high BRD dps

that's why it's a game innit

valid gate
#

JP strats aren't inherently safer.

#

It's just what caught on as the general strategy in JP servers.

#

Their commonly-accepted Second Forsaken method is absolute fucking garbage, for example.

lyric summit
#

how do you even come up with a different method for 2nd forsaken

#

other than uptime/no uptime

steep iris
lyric summit
#

oh wow

#

imprssive

quick verge
#

i don't comprehend

#

did melee bait their meteors away from the boss...

boreal edge
#

yes

#

only good thing this method do

#

is make past or future end simple

#

but bad in literally everything else

hoary socket
#

The JP are stubborn and persistent to a fault. If something works, even if it's more difficult. They will shut up and conform.

opal hollow
#

At least you won't have 3 people fighting over which out of 5 strategies to use 👀

quick verge
#

4 which are shit

hoary socket
#

It's why PF actually works in JP. Because they almost all do the exact same thing.

uncut charm
#

Tell them that and you get reported for toxic

steep iris

i mean na pf all do the same strat after everything's sorted out

Until they give up after 2 wipes

their strat is legit

quick verge

legit bad

but its galaxybrain to na/eu

JP servers have a pretty established code of conduct for PF. No trap parties there

except past/future end

past/future doesn't look any different...

just point it in the right direction

war can holm 3rd i will assume

I think there's another that has to be shared then war can Holm the rest

hoary socket
#

One of the shared tankbusters can't be cheesed with an invuln. I don't play tank so I'm not sure which one.

spice comet
#

namazuthink think they all can, theres a back to back invuln hallow thats hyperdrive and something i forgot

rustic lichen
#

Yeah, there's a Embrace into a Hyperdrive that can be hallowed the whole way

opal hollow
#

It's war->pld->war->share->war

#

lines up very very nicely with CDs

spice comet
#

Yea that's it, wings u can invuln u stil need the near far

opal hollow
#

yeah

spice comet
#

Its just kinda.....pointless to invuln wings but sure go for it

opal hollow
#

the near/far CDs overlap with the shared embrace

#

that's why you do it

glad tapir
#

are the shared tank buster only can be shared by 2 ppl or more? never try it xD

spice comet
#

paissasquint war holm and pld hallow wings? Thats kinda funny

glad tapir
#

just courise what happen when everyone stack

spice comet
#

Think share is uh....more than 2

#

It happened before

#

When the tb came at healer so there was like the group who died, idk if that's wings or share tb tho

opal hollow
#

i think

glad tapir
#

well hypercharge will kill for sure, but i am asking me about the shared tankbuster

spice comet
#

It was a meme for a while where we said everyone should share embrace to lower dmg, I'm gonna guess yes

opal hollow
#

it's 2 person only

#

i'm like 60% sure that it randomly picks 2

#

cuz i've had a dps get killed by it with me taking 0 damage

#

and the OT getting hit

glad tapir

lol ok

#

i though so i just never try it

opal hollow

don't quote me on that

why would you invuln wings

wings does fuck all

in the most literal sense

Actually it's tanks cd

quick verge
#

oh right tanks don't have shields xd

glad tapir
#

if you pay me i will give you some heals for wings

U dont need a shield on tank for wings, usually an excog just so they dont have an auto poke

glad tapir

wings dosent need any cool down just need to be good ammount on HP

spice comet
#

Yeah just 40k and some cd :V

glad tapir
#

our tanks stay alive with +80%

spice comet
#

I nvr saw a tank die either to wings

#

Besides in prog obviously cause prog

glad tapir

i guess all you have to do is slap the healers and tell them to get good

i am mean the heavy healing phase is first forsaken everything after isnt that hard

I once wiped the group in O7S during Demon Simulation. It's the only wipe I caused while being alive. I flipped out of the second ring too soon. Worse, I didn't flip towards the boss lmao.

spice comet
#

My drg killed our pt jumping through

craggy gate
#

I learned o7 doing CW instead of CCW

#

so when I had to leave my static and I was pugging/trying out other groups

#

I'd run the opposite way

spice comet
#

namazuthink 👌 👌

unreal flax
#

Hahaha my group does CW as well. The adjustment was fine for me because I was already pugging the fight at all hours of the day and occasionally, I'd get a group that ran the opposite way.

glad tapir
#

yeah we have to tell our tank every mechanic if we dont do he will get lost and the worst thing is he just trust blind no matter what you call out

craggy gate
#

I just make sure to ask now since i'm still trying to find another group

#

and they're like duh, ccw

#

well okay mean ass I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE :_:

i personally just AM to the healer that's there

and don't take the black painting :^)^))^)

dull radish
#

same but BRD haha

#

it's been a while

#

if you're doing potato rotato or end up having a slight delay in triple (can happen from that movement from SE corner out of AoE to go to rock, since triple might not be up unless you swift F4 -> triple), it can line up a bit better for it, I've heard

#

but I usually just AM and kinda slidecast/wing it

#

the nice thing is that, you have a lot of time that you can move after the last howl, without worrying about missing heals and such, so you can have a bit more time to grab the blue as well, instead of having to rush to grab both last second

#

just gotta get someone to move over a bit early for you to AM to or something

opal hollow
#

oh wait

#

you can take blue paint after siren

#

that's usually what i do

yeah tbh it kinda depends
