Should I use the blackest night on cooldown?
torn kindle
Use it when you know it will break.
paper solstice
My current thought is use it when blood is <50, rampart for auto, dark mind and shadow wall for tankbuster, reprisal for aoe
scenic patrol
TBN should be paired with CDs for busters
It's a freaking free Thrill of Battle ffs
Also you need to know which damage type the buster is for DM
Since it only mitigates magical
paper solstice
Ye the magical part always get me, if it look like an elemental attack i just assume its magical
scenic patrol
Yeah judging by visuals is fine
Most of the time it's correct
A buster where the boss physically smacks you is physical
But Byakko does it with a ball of energy
So it's magical
Godka does some weird shit with UE though
Visually it should be magical but it's physical
torn kindle
It gets even messier when you find out that Darkness damage exists.
AKA damage that ignores most mitigation
unless it's generic damage mitigation
Or was it generic damage reduction on the boss?
it's not very clear.
quick verge
what
quick verge
so what attacks are darkness
torn kindle
There's also some split damage that completely ignores mitigation like Rampart unless it makes you immune.
boreal edge
its random which is darkness attack
need act to track
ifrit cleave breath for example is darkness
despite it looks fire
scenic patrol
I dunno if to say it's random is correct
But there are no guiding visuals
For it
Need parsing
Wonder how long will act be broken for in this patch?
boreal edge
its not easy to fight a damage is darkness or not without depth testing or just ACT
scenic patrol
My guess is 2 days
torn kindle
it usually gets updated within the week of patch
scenic patrol
Feels like being blind when act is fucked
paper solstice
Is it easy for endgame healer to heal from 1% to 100%?
boreal edge
its easy
scenic patrol
Depends
boreal edge
but most endgame healers dont like it
topping ppl means overhealing
and overhealing mean less dps
scenic patrol
You can heal that amount in a single GCD
If it crits with some healing buffs
But normally
It requires some CDs

So if I can afford just ONE piece of crafted gear to start my prog on alphascape savage....weapon?
or would it be more beneficial to get a chest or legs and get the primal weapon?
dull radish
the latter yeah
normal mesa
It'll be a slow start for me regardless due to tfw no static this time around so I'm not in a ridiculous rush
dull radish
yeah, it's not a big deal
especially the first two fights, ilvl requirement and difficulty is usually lax enough
normal mesa
and then plan my normal mode tokens around whichever crafted chest/leg i don't get
I mean i managed the first two fights in worse gear last tier, so I hope that with current bis it'll make the first two fights even easier than the last two were
just....pf tho lol
scenic patrol
Skip crafted then if you are pugging tbh, just get the suzaku weapon and try to beat O9 and O10 first week
dull radish
yeah pretty much

I think my static will either do O9S and O10S or Suzaku
No idea which
But I'll probably need to farm it on my own
Anyhow
At least I am already over geared for it due to previous tier BiS
scenic patrol
I am shit at progging blind
So hopefully someone will be able to make sense out of Suzaku quickly
But world first statics probably won't even touch that trial
scenic patrol
They have no reason to
Heck some statics progged so fast they cleared most of the tier without the crafted sets

Not every tsuku ex party will be good because it's party finder, but the rate of good parties will be significantly higher

pf is always going to run the risk of a bad group
but generally the earlier it is in the tier/content, the better the groups are likely to be
silver skiff
im sure reddit will keep track of any possible strats that show up in other groups while people are progging

Worst comes to worst, make your own pf with your preferred strat listed or join the ones with the strat you like

Should I use clemency to assist my healer friends?
fossil basalt
kinda depends
usually no, unless they're having a lot of trouble with a specific mechanic
steep iris
no
it might help in prog, but ideally you want 0 clemency casts
it's just not worth it in 99% of cases
trust your healer
if you clemency yourself when your healer can 100% handle it you're losing dps and less dps=takes longer to kill
wise basalt
I wonder if the RDM changes really makes the AOE as potent as SMN 🤔
lyric summit
there's no way that could happen lmao
the aoe changes were so tiny
all rdm changes were pretty insignificant
dull radish
yeahh
it's still a cozy little buff, but it's not a whole lot, and it was coming pretty far behind in dps beforehand
lyric summit
you can get moulinet faster by some 0.5% than before
last galleon
RDM is a pretty solid rock bottom in terms of caster AOE potential
wise basalt
If only acceleration also worked for enhanced scatter and that the proc would actually improve potency. Plus getting a bit more mana at base would help too
last galleon
only time where i felt adds were dying at an acceptable speed is if i got 5x enchanted moulinets in short succession
wise basalt
that's 100/100 mana too T_T
Kinda makes me want to have a spell that just does more damage than scatter and doesn't rely on mana. Scatter feels like AOE jolt so shouldn't there be an AOE verthunder/veraero too?
5.0 pls
lyric summit
i feel like a rework into a complex job would be more useful than 4 more aoe spells and idk, verfoul for a 3 moulinet combo finisher 
valid gate
last galleon
i feel like part of the appeal of RDM (for me at least) is the simple rotation, perfect for a turn-my-brain-off farm party kind of thing
i have other complex jobs i can turn to if i wanted to optimize more
lyric summit
movement's fun too
dull radish
BLM is more fun <3
And you get a good amount of movement on BLM
Yeah it's not bad
You can also just pop triple though and it's fine
Yeah they're not that big haha
The coziest strat is really to slidecast first one then triple after
The worst bit often actually ends up being the movement back south after stack
shadow pollen
MNK main foreveeer
dull radish
Yes and no. The danger is you AM to tank and risk taking tower, or you AM to dps and still have to move a bit after the AM
wise basalt
if you have a whm you kinda have to get back quickly for cure 3. otherwise you can go into helios range and slowly slidecast back or AM after the meteors drop
dull radish
Yeah
lyric summit
radiant dps wasn't added to smn pdps on fflogs anyways
and it still applies the phys vuln so it's ok for triple melee comps
triple physical*
dull radish
Garuda better in an optimized fight though <3

lyric summit
doesn't even matter as long as it's not pink
dull radish
The BRD does the rock yeah
Also you should expect more Iron Jaws than Straight Shot
If they're snapshotting buffs properly
lyric summit
yeah, you should refresh dots under trick, litany, chain, everything
thorn bear
I never even thought of that
quick verge
!action straight shot
storm frostBOT
thorn bear
using iron jaws reapplies the buff
like you did them normally?
doesn't jsut extend?
wise basalt
I do snapshot them to my own buffs, but I haven't given it much thought to that of others
dull radish
Yeah it's important for other buffs too
But even if it's just to your own, you'd have more Iron Jaws than Straight Shot
Since both the DoTs and Straight shot buff are 30s
But you resnapshot with IJ under buffs, so more uses
wise basalt
I've been timing them together so far, paying the most attention to whenever my raging strikes comes back up under wanderer's, but I guess it's gonna be even more managing handling all three timers separately
I also thought that when it came to debuffs on the boss the dots would automatically do more damage, but judging from what you've said that doesn't seem to be the case
lyric summit
if you refresh before trick and after it falls off, the dots won't get any benefit
last galleon
debuffs snapshot at time of application unless it's a ground effect
dull radish
Yeah everything needs to be applied under buffs/debuffs to take advantage
Yeah ground effects are dumb haha
last galleon
it kind of "makes sense" in that the damage isn't from an effect on the boss, but yeah the inconsistency is pretty meh
wise basalt
every class should have a ground effect kappa
last galleon
bards don't always want to double refresh under buffs but a few of them are no brainer, like double snapping battle litany + chain

How hard would you guys rate being a good enough SCH for savage content ? (never going to do ultimate stuff)

Yeah. That's the biggest part I was worried about.
I have SCH leveled to 70 on my current char. And did a bunch of dungeons with it. But that's not really what you would call challenging content.

yeah, the servers are located in the same place
there's not much difference between the two really

its always going to be a hardcast raise unless they give them some kind of swiftcast ability

paper solstice
I currently have intervention and cover macro to target <2> for mt when I ot, should I have a separate non macro for my other members? Im running out of room with all these additional role skills lol

if you think you will have cases where you're gonna use intervention on a party member
just put the skill on the hotbar
quick verge

thorn bear
No
Actual competitors in world race don't stream pretty sure
But folks like xeno will stream their prog
fossil basalt
they on't want to leak their strats and give other teams an edge by doing the work for them
eternal mirage

wraith spire

blazing pelican

stable basin
got a friend that has having issues with crafting macros, get an error saying "<muscle memory> is not a valid target name", anyone having macro crafting issues??
dull radish
Try without quotation marks or without auto-translate for the ability name, if it's being used
correct
stable basin
Ty Rika said to friend to try that
desert igloo
Hi, anyone have an efficient loot guide for alpha??
lyric summit
it's the same as all previous raid drops
you can look up drops from Alex gordias or sigmascape

desert igloo
Excellent, thanks
scenic patrol
Also did you finish all the quest up to Swallow's Compass?

opal hollow

opal hollow

scenic patrol
If you have stopped the quest chain there
severe notch
anyone know how to get new gc rank?
leaden lava
@stable basin are you on the final savage floor already? 🤔
severe notch
no reported 11 kills yet
leaden lava
oh right
was gonna say
it's a fair jump up from last tier
I think people are gonna be gated on 9S a lot harder than Train
severe notch
9 was killed faster this teir iirc
leaden lava
It wasn't killed faster than 5?
That would be nuts, its so much harder lol
or maybe we're just bad
severe notch
nope i was wrong
leaden lava
it has more relative HP, and harder mechanics
severe notch
train took an hour 20 9 took 2 hours 16
leaden lava
I still think pf is gonna find it a lot harder
stable basin
lmao im not even home yet@leaden lava
leaden lava
it requires you to be a bit more switched on
severe notch
if i clear two fights this week i'll be happy
stable basin
A friend showed me though
leaden lava
also 10 vs 6 is SO much more of a jump
severe notch
yea
leaden lava
6 was a fucking retardedly easy fight compared to this
leaden lava
6 vs 10
severe notch
opps
leaden lava
tho XD
leaden lava
again, pf are gonna find it a lot harder
severe notch
it is
leaden lava
so far so good
severe notch
yea it is
scenic patrol
The tier is fantastic tbh so far
Aside from right and left laser swords from O11
leaden lava
did you get the minion tho? XD
severe notch
no i didn't get minion
leaden lava
for prog? no
scenic patrol
Probably the feathers
Basically you get 4 dps players targeted by purple markers
Those revive the birbs
Whole there are feathers in the entire arena
Clear small feathers
To create safe spots
And then each dps will be assigned to a single add
To bait into the safe spot and kill it there outside the feather explosion
lyric summit
why does the bird skip some of the lanterns
opal hollow
oooh i see
scenic patrol
Also they tether into each other
So each dps needs to take the add into a seperate safe spot
Safe spots are either cardinal or inter cardinal
waxen ether
Should I stay as SAM or do I just go for an another class for mid core raiding?
Cuz even if I dps well, I feel that I don't contribute as much in the team
dull radish
you'll be fine on SAM
burnt bay
just ask the rest of the group
dull radish
especially in more midcore groups, if you know what you're doing, you can end up being very valuable
burnt bay
if you are set on utility (raises or what not), you should be fine
dull radish
since as you move further down in skill, buff alignment and synergy isn't as good in groups, and personal dps can carry more
waxen ether
We do have an RDM and a SMN for raising so we just need a buffer and my friend is lvling his BRD as we speak
Overall I am a good SAM, just that I feel that I don't contribute as much as like a good MNK and stuff LOL
dull radish
I dunno if you're better at SAM, especially in a double caster comp, you're probably better off staying as SAM than MNK
waxen ether
Decent is what I was looking for LOL
Yeah true, I am willing to learn other classes though
dull radish
well, it doesn't hurt to try other stuff if you want. It's not going to make a real big difference either way. Just preferably don't swap off of a STR dps if you don't have another one in your group. DRG would benefit your group most with that comp, but you can clear content fine with you staying on SAM
scenic patrol
Heck if they don't have a war staying on SAM is ideal
waxen ether
We do have a WAR actually, just a new person willing to learn it
waxen ether
Was thinking of going being a goon actually, I heard its much slower than SAM is
scenic patrol
Goon also avoids SkS like the Plague
So yeah
Overall it's much slower
On the GCD front
2.45 vs 1.89
waxen ether
OOF, I do like big numbers soo
scenic patrol
Extreme case scenario
waxen ether
I see, they prefer Crit over SkS
scenic patrol
Most jobs don't prefer SkS
And goon especially
Since it fucks up the rotation
When it comes to SkS its almost always about how the rotation lines up
Not how much of a gain it is
Currently on the tank front our gear is fucking loaded with SkS
odd violet
Is this the right place to talk about SuzakuEX?
scenic patrol
To a stupid degree
Sure I guess
I know the fight up to DDR electric Boogaloo
So I can help a bit
elder lark
how different is it from normal?
odd violet
We're having issues in EX with the color patterns
I think it's latency, because the speed doesn't seem consistant and sometimes she'll go through a color and it wont go off until later
And Im just curious if anyone else is suffering issues with the speed in which the colors are going off for that phase
scenic patrol
Something is fucky there
The Phoenix seems to skip certain colors
At random
Shit's weird
scenic patrol
Still clearable
waxen ether
Yeah, they are just some minor bugs but can be cleared like you said
scenic patrol
Gonna continue with some of the folks I did it today with tomorrow
scenic patrol
Until feathers it's very straight forward
