fuck having to lb anyway

[quick verge]

are you violent destruction's child

teach me

[unreal flax]

The other night, I was in O10S with a SAM who was really waiting for someone else to LB3 lol. It's just you and me, homie, and unless you're a DRG during a Double Life window or dead, you will almost never see me LB.

[normal sable]

I mean maybe

He was doing more damage than you

In which case

You're the lb now

[quick verge]

or let tanks use lb

[unreal flax]

No one I've raided with has been over me this tier.

Unless I've died, of course.

[wet stag]

@quick verge you say as you do better than me

[quick verge]

luck prob

[normal sable]

Then you raid with shitty SAM

BAM

GOT EM

[quick verge]

As long as it dies within my requiescat window

[unreal flax]

I CAN'T DO REACTIONS IN HERE! I wanted to hit you with that hot 💯, Fola.

My static doesn't have a SAM, but you can always find them in PF.

DPS is funny for me. I'm hyper competitive with my numbers, but also I want someone to be above me in all cases because HW taught me that if I'm top DPS for the whole fight, we're seeing enrage lol. It's less of a problem in SB, but that's how my brain works lol

[quick verge]

my static is pf

pf hasn't gone to complete shit yet

the 2 pull midgardsormr

Sunday 1 chest

I don't get why duty complete parties don't have 95%+ consistency on mechanics

[unreal flax]

So far, my biggest opener this tier on a clear.

[normal sable]

I mean if a SAM can't out DPS a MNK that isn't named Aya/Tiff Liz

SMH

reroll bud

[unreal flax]

That's how I feel about things. Like, SAM isn't a free DPS job, but with the slightest desire to max your output, you should be beating me soundly.

[dull radish]

we should run something again together sometime, it's been far too long

[unreal flax]

We really should lol. I have raid on Thursday and Sunday, but any other day, I'm down to stick my face into something with you.

[steep iris]

rika ill give you balances

go be the first one to hit 10k dps

[dull radish]

I have raid on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, in the evenings, otherwise I'm mostly free. Especially on my alt, I always neglect getting clears and weeklies on there haha

[unreal flax]

My only alt at 70 is a PLD lol. So, now I don't even want to play that character until I get a DPS up.

[dull radish]

fair enough~

[unreal flax]

Just capping stones on my main is like pulling teeth with me lol. It's a near refusal, tbh. Like, I hate doing it, but at the end of the week, I've done it just barely lol

If I have a lazy week and I end with like 440/450 and it's 9pm, I don't even usually chase after the last ten.

Unless it's weapon time.

Oh you got the tomestone, huh? Niiice.

Daaaang.

[quick verge]

do you ever wonder what the Ester tastes like

[unreal flax]

I didn't even know it was called Ester until just a couple minutes ago lol

[quick verge]

!item Scaevan Ester

[storm frost]

**Scaevan Ester** : Other

A lubricant concocted by a certain Garlond Ironworks consultant that, when applied to weapons of similar origin, heightens their attributes by smoothing interactions between their many interlocking parts.

[normal sable]

It looks so drinkable

[quick verge]

I'd drink it

[normal sable]

big same

[quick verge]

just like I'd drink colored bases

wait it's a lubricant

blue energy drink that lubricates your kidneys

[wet stag]

so i messed up panto 2 tonight

so i wasnt in melee range for most of it

so uh

@stable basin am i cool yet

[dull radish]

powerful

[wet stag]

first 5 are panto 2

last 3 are the final blaster tether

[unreal flax]

Oh man, I hope Pantokrator 2 isn't a DPS mechanic, cuz I will not be out of melee range for 5 GCDs lol

[wet stag]

it's not

well

the first half isnt

2nd half is dps/healers

while the tanks are eating shit

[unreal flax]

I trust in my chakras to get me through mechanics.

[wet stag]

lmao

nah you'll lose like a gcd at most

dw about it

actually im pretty sure you can max melee nvm

[unreal flax]

I'm still trying to nail down the timing for when I can step out and back in during O10S spin/flip shit. I've mostly figured out the ranges for X and Out, but I have no fuckin clue where the exact safe point is for + yet. That one, I've been playing safe and going in deeper than I need to

[dull radish]

yeah pantokrator, both 1 and 2, are cozy enough if you are on a job that can keep GCD rolling freely while moving, don't really lose uptime at all unless you're having the tank bait the outer AoEs and just making them sad standing out in the corner not doing much. Even for the second half with the beams, you can easily step out far enough to keep hitting boss while others take their beams

[stable basin]

nice uptime 👌

[fading shoal]

why does o10s enrage sometimes happen sooner?

as in it skips the spin

[scenic patrol]

Instance memes and nail phase length

[quick verge]

using unmend during panto 2 means you've accepted your fate

you're supposed to use 0 gcds to represent that you will murder your ranged in the near future due to baiting panto 2

😏

[bright plinth]

controversial question i suppose but here goes nothing. anyone with zoomhacker experience know if its going to get you striked with banhammerino

[high ether]

it's against the ToS to use third party software so yes

but even without that it's despicable

and I think it's even against the rules of this discord server to discuss that stuff

[bright plinth]

eh, ive asked question about third party software before without issues, until i get a warning ill take the risk. all you gave me is the generic tos answer, we all know people use ACT and glamour mods with no consequences so ill take that as a non answer

[quick verge]

i haven't heard of anyone getting banned for using zoomhacks

so follow what people usually do for other mods they use

don't discuss it ingame

[bright plinth]

👌

[high ether]

wait what is zoomhacks even

isn't it a speedhack?

[pure yoke]

It gives you a wider fov

[high ether]

oh

[pure yoke]

Which trivializes certain mechanics

[high ether]

I thought it was a speedhack

which is much easier for them to detect because it messes with the packets you send to the server

[fickle lynx]

I for one am offended that the thing called “zoom” doesn’t involve speed

[high ether]

see that's what threw me off

[bright plinth]

what even is a speedhack for a game like this lol

[high ether]

bots use them

although they just teleport directly

[bright plinth]

nah i just wanna see a bit more tired of the claustrophobic max zoomout

some bosses are just too big

oh speedhacks for botting

i guess that makes sense

[pure yoke]

Mechanics were designed with current fov in mind

Zoomhack is borderline cheating with some mechanics

Like divebombs

[bright plinth]

hmm i didnt think of it in terms of mechanics but i can see how that would aid with certain stuff

[steady pebble]

you can try raising where the camera sits to help

ctrl+arrow key changes the camera position

unless you've changed the keybindings

[bright plinth]

worth fiddling around with. i have my character too close to the middle right now

[high ether]

well i mean the fov thing is kinda cheating

but having a wide screen gives you an advantage over a narrow screen too

[bright plinth]

lol

i could try that but id have a bezel slashing my character in two

and probably a ton of fps drop

[high ether]

unless XIV does that dumb reversed fov thing where instead of widening it, it cuts off the top and bottom

i never tested it

[unreal flax]

I kinda wanna get a zoomhack, but at the same time, I'm incredibly lazy.

[quick verge]

i don't need zoomhacks to beat the shit out of a robot

[full wave]

Ok ya I give up on raiding

[tardy ginkgo]

why's that

[full wave]

I just spent 4 hours in pf trying to clear Chaos. It isn't worth the stress. I think I'm just over MMOs now thanks the XIV. Why would I have fun playing a game where I can lose due to no fault of my own? @tardy ginkgo

I don't even feel like capping this week. What's the point?

[quick verge]

wow

you are tilted as fuck

LMAO

take a nap

[wet stag]

4 hours?

4 hours is nothing lmao

I took 13 hours to clear chaos

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[heavy mist]

4 hrs is pretty lucky

🤔

[full wave]

4 hours TODAY

Also I didn't get the clear

We hit enrage at 1%

Everything was going perfectly, then we hit earth phase and these fucking mongoloids couldn't stack properly. 3 dps died. We didn't have enough dps.

[wet stag]

I did 12 hours on week 1 Saturday ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[full wave]

I was worried I'd be the one dragging dps down. The fuckers never did earth phase correctly a single time.

Don't have to be worried about dragging dps down when you're the only one that knows how to do mechanics.

@quick verge Mega tilted

[tardy ginkgo]

Just take a break, don't force yaself to burn out.

[wet stag]

Sounds like my week 1 Saturday ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[quick verge]

take a nap

or turn your anger into motivation

and grind for 10 more hours

[tardy ginkgo]

lol

[full wave]

Maybe I'll do a playthrough of XV and come back after that.

[tardy ginkgo]

ya play other games man

and come back and try again

i did that when i burnt myself out last tier

[unreal flax]

It sucks for people who, when they get tight about something, they stay tight. Like, I get pissed off about stuff all the time in this stupid-ass game, but usually, I'm back to the same performance level in a minute or two. Some folks legit cannot return to the game for hours. That shit sucks, man.

[rapid sapphire]

count me in the burnout pit too. tried to clear o9s and if it wasn't the server lagging (yes i really wanted to refresh dots. no I did move to be ready for earthquake) it was me playing like shit (and hq g3 pots aren't going to fix that)

[full wave]

God fucking famnit

I shot a needle into my thumb

I'm so tilted I help the epi pen backwards and gave my thumb a shot

[rapid sapphire]

oww

[full wave]

It's swollen

It itches

I'm just gonna go to bed

[scenic patrol]

Yikes

[quick verge]

the only time where i've truly been tilted

was late night o6s

when i was first learning it

[scenic patrol]

I just avoid PFing because it makes me lose faith in humanity

I've tried trapping

[full wave]

How do you raid

[scenic patrol]

But I don't really enjoy it

I have a static

[full wave]

oh

[scenic patrol]

A mediocre one but a static none the less

Heck if I wasn't lazy I could find a week 2 static but that is besides the point

Anyhow the only thing I have that you don't have in regards to raiding is past tier qualification

I feel the orange parse escaping my clutches every time I clear chaos

Fucking kill times

[quick verge]

just hold IR for 30 seconds /s

[wet stag]

You joke

But I knew someone who actually did that

[scenic patrol]

That's a nice way to lose a cast

[wet stag]

It's the same guy who was like

"why the fuck would I fell cleaves just so I can infuriate"

[heavy mist]

cant lose cast if u dont get another cast

👀

[wet stag]

@scenic patrol I sent u the dm

[scenic patrol]

Yeah

I don't wanna see it

Anymore

[wet stag]

Lmao

[quick verge]

don't you lose like 2 IRs in a 10 minute fight if you hold it for a trick

[heavy mist]

why fell cleave when u can keep 5% crit

[wet stag]

You would yeah

[heavy mist]

10%

**

[quick verge]

just have your ast feed you enhanced spears

[heavy mist]

losing 2 IR windows 👀

god bless

[quick verge]

no crit lost

[scenic patrol]

I am one of the warriors that doesn't like banking on crit RNG

Tbh

I'd rather sacrifice crit for better eye uptime and etc

Guaranteed potency gains>Crit Fiestas

crit fiestas are life though

[fossil basalt]

[wet stag]

[heavy mist]

Me > them

[fossil basalt]

its true, but why you gotta say it 😦

[scenic patrol]

Anyhow I do shit like use FC at 60 gauge to delay Eye reaaplication

[heavy mist]

hopefully less people play DRG in the future. I dont need to deal with dupe fest.....

[scenic patrol]

To have better eye uptime

[wet stag]

That's fair ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[scenic patrol]

Just play a tank

[heavy mist]

i play tank when i get the gear i need for drg

so i can wipe parties

👀

[scenic patrol]

But tanking is easy

[quick verge]

play pld

[wet stag]

I might see if I can trap 9s this weekend as sch 👀

[scenic patrol]

Like you get blues without even trying

[quick verge]

9s is easy as sch

[wet stag]

I've never played sch in savage 👀

[scenic patrol]

You don't want to

You think you do, but you don't

[heavy mist]

u wanna play DANCER

[quick verge]

shit is so free as sch

[heavy mist]

thats what u wanna do

[wet stag]

I tried sch in suzaku ex last night

It was a fucking shitshow

[heavy mist]

Healer in suzaku

👀

god bless

[scenic patrol]

SCH is fucking rough

[fringe granite]

Too much movement for a caster

[heavy mist]

its fine for caster imo

just healer....

if people get hit

[scenic patrol]

I've healed almost allof Sigma and 3/4 of Godka

[heavy mist]

if u had to carry as a healer in suzaku u gonna feelbad

[fringe granite]

Don't do it!

[wet stag]

I wanna dip my toes into healing savage at least

[heavy mist]

shouldve healed o1s

[quick verge]

heal 10s

[scenic patrol]

Do it on WHM

[wet stag]

I fucking suck at healing

[fringe granite]

I wish you good luck

[wet stag]

I always forget to use shadow flare lmao

[heavy mist]

just know the big dmg

[wet stag]

Yeah I know the big dmg

[scenic patrol]

Playing healers is not about only the big dmg though

The chip damage that you barely notice as a tank?

You notice that shit hard as a healer

[heavy mist]

dis why i panic in 10s 👀

[quick verge]

autos don't hurt until they do

[scenic patrol]

Levin bolts?

That's a raid wide

[heavy mist]

🖕 being a healer. but 🙇 to good healers

Fey union for healing intensive parts

On the mt anyway

[quick verge]

[wet stag]

That's broken af lmao

[quick verge]

what is pet gambit

[wet stag]

Gambit system from FF12 I think

[heavy mist]

gambit system is disgusting

[wet stag]

Basically a list of priorities for your pet

[heavy mist]

if u can figure it out

[quick verge]

what is gambit system from ff12

[wet stag]

If this then that

[quick verge]

oh

[heavy mist]

[stable basin]

Hey, is Heaven on High a good place to get gear , and how is it to level up, compared to PotD?

[fringe granite]

Gear?

No

[stable basin]

yes, gear.

[torn kindle]

HoH only gives a weapon, like POTD did.

[fringe granite]

A 365 weapon that takes an age to get?

[torn kindle]

I mean, if you're using it to level up it's not that bad.

lets you save mendacity for other slots

[stable basin]

Oh, alright.

[scenic patrol]

It's probably the best way to get a weapon to get into SB if you are new/returning

[heavy mist]

indeed

ez pz

[normal sable]

HoH is pretty easy

It's either that or buying a 380

Or doing o8n and getting 1000 mend

HoH -> Suzu would be ideal

[vital cypress]

blew through O9S in... four pulls?

[steep summit]

its ez

[vital cypress]

and got back to speed on O10S in 50 minutes or so, except with much fewer dumb wipes during first phase

[unreal flax]

I really, really love O9S.

It's fun for me because it's a dummy with mechanics lol.

[wet stag]

yeah i enjoy it too

even though i spent 11 hours on it in one day lmao

0.3% or bust

[unreal flax]

You know what would absolutely wreck me? If I see a 0.1% enrage that could have been prevented if I had just squeezed in one more Tornado Kick at some point throughout the fight.

You have a static, right? I always forget who pugs exclusively and who pugs through necessity.

[blazing pelican]

Yeah static

Tell your team to git gud and remove that button off your bar after prog is done

We're still working on o12s, actually getting there during the week is more important than optimizing

why doesn't my uwu clear show up in kupobot

[quick verge]

do you meld dhit or det after crit on sch

[wet stag]

Fuck yeah

4 hours of sleep

Time to die

😎

[steep iris]

@quick verge doesn't really matter

det gives an oh so slight edge in healing that isn't really noticeable

unless you go full on 2k det like my friend

otherwise they give about the same dps increase

[last galleon]

Pick one that makes you sleep better at night

[quick verge]

ill meld det then since it's cheaper

[last galleon]

Perfectly valid reason

[vital cypress]

oops my static exploded

like two days after I got shoved back into leading it

[wet stag]

Wew

[vital cypress]

guess that's why the last leader was in such a hurry to leave

[pure yoke]

tragic

[steep iris]

wat happened

[vital cypress]

long story short, i put the group together, we cleared O8S in a bit under a month, then during the late 4.3 doldrums I handed the group off to another person to lead because I can be grating at the best of times

they probably went a bit too relaxed/casual with replacing people though and the group eventually grated itself apart on O10S

grating

grate

i'm not trying to blame them, keeping a group of people with wildly varying outlooks on the game, from "happy to be here" to "why haven't we cleared O12S yet you morons" is hard

[blazing pelican]

Meanwhile I'm in the "quit fucking optimizing when we're progging camp"

[fringe granite]

I don't do savage

But I'd have to agree

[blazing pelican]

"I died because I wanted to get an extra GCD in"
DO THE FUCKING MECH SO WE CAN FINISH THIS DAMM TIER

[fringe granite]

Optimization can wait

[blazing pelican]

We're 2.5k DPS ahead, that shit can wait

We'd have beat the damn the two weeks ago probably

It's the same shit that made us take longer on uwu

[scenic patrol]

me not optimizing is not an option I fear within my group

wiping to second fight of the tier with 1% left and only 3 deaths prior is

[vital cypress]

our group consisted/consists of everyone trying to desperately inflate the SAM's DPS totals

[fringe granite]

Inflation not needed

[vital cypress]

because we have two rDPS and no dragoon

or had, i'm trying to fix that

[glossy musk]

we just lost our SAM so I'm gonna ball hard on getting a fuckin ranged or tank since I play either

Cause triple melee with a SAM was oof

[scenic patrol]

triple melee should be fine this tier

[glossy musk]

Triple melee with a SAM

[scenic patrol]

missing 100 rDPS

[glossy musk]

Point of triple melee is the major buffs they all give each other and the MCH

Since all enhance phys damage

[scenic patrol]

MCH is fucking useless

you wot m8

[glossy musk]

what

[scenic patrol]

take BRD

[wet stag]

What

[scenic patrol]

way better

[glossy musk]

MCH is optimal for phys groups

[scenic patrol]

with what?

[glossy musk]

DRG/MNK/NIN/MCH

[scenic patrol]

Hypercharge is not physical only anymore

[glossy musk]

gives optimal burst windows

[scenic patrol]

and you want to replace BRD with MCH

[glossy musk]

BRD works better for nearly everything else

[scenic patrol]

you'll never see MCH in triple melee comps

🤷

speed running

let's not even get to the fact that BRD has the best tier gear that can possibly be

[glossy musk]

BRD this tier is ridiculous, yeah

That crit

hey kid how much crit you want on your gear
idk all of it

[scenic patrol]

this is currently the fastest run of chaos

same DPS as number 1 MCH

[blazing pelican]

8.3k dps

God bless

[scenic patrol]

Monk will probably be the meta for triple melee still

but yeah

they are both extra spicy

what I am most interested in are

M&F speed runs

I got another question, i just finished heavensward so i guess i have a lot of main quest for all the patches to do before i get to stormblood so i can wait before buying it or will i lose to much xp not having it?

[fringe granite]

You should already have it

When did you start playing?

[olive mortar]

The whole game?

[fringe granite]

Stormblood and Heavensward come packaged together

[olive mortar]

I got heavensward maybe a year or two year ago for the ps4

It came alone, stormblood was not out yet

[fringe granite]

Ok

Get it

All of the postgame 60 quests have experience now

Oh! Ok

50$:(

[fringe granite]

In canada?

[olive mortar]

Yeah..

[fringe granite]

It's $40 US

[olive mortar]

So it will be a loss of xp if it dont get it i guess

[fringe granite]

Congrats!

[stable basin]

noice

[valid gate]

tanks not pressing damage buttons

[pseudo valley]

o10s is pissing me off

the server tock during hot tail is awful

it is literally the only thing preventing us from clearing

[vital cypress]

it's bad

[pseudo valley]

like why the fuck did they design it like this

its so fucking frustrating

you do the mech right, still die

[vital cypress]

it's a strangely badly designed fight

like there's a lot of server-dependent stuff they got away from in most of Omega, then it all came back for O10

the bulwark isn't as bad as what I saw of OG Allagan Rot for instance but it still bugs out a lot if both people don't pause and hug

[pseudo valley]

it is so demotivating

to keep raiding

when you cant get past the 2nd floor

100% due to shit raid design

[stable basin]

You can do stack on second balls strat

Makes hot tail "uninstall if you get hit by this" level of easy to dodge

Requires a little situational awareness beforehand tho

[pseudo valley]

stack on second balls?

[stable basin]

You bait horrid roar on the corner with second balls and do your thing there

Basically lets you run out of the middle before third balls explode

https://streamable.com/l4ypm

[pseudo valley]

oh ok

[stable basin]

I guess you don't technically stack on the second balls but yeah

[valid gate]

what? lol

hot tail has 100% consistent movement every time

has nothing to do with raid design you guys are just sandbagging the mechanic

if you die you did it wrong

[boreal edge]

you dont move to same spot always

also hot tail isnt the only annoying mech o10s got

if not for the tank getting tether always it will be pain in the ass

as u gotta rely on whoever took last breath which wont be same guy always

so all those guys need to know how to do it

in same time

if only tank did hot tail

its somewhat rely if swap or not

if that tank for whatever reason

took too many crit autos ( you cant use cds there as bulwark take all the dmg ) hot tail will drop the tank taking tail low if not killing him

so yeah its bad design

you rely on swap/crit or you rely on 6 ppl to do shit right choose 1

thats just 1 mech badly designed

there are others that follow different reasons

o10s as whole is worst fight ever introduced in ffxiv so far

[pure yoke]

just tank lb3 the orbs

[quick verge]

just skip the orbs lul

the worst fight introduced was gordias

[pure yoke]

you think I am meme'ing

but you can actually do that

orb does 30k with lb3

do a succor and some mitigation

and you are good to go

[quick verge]

but that's -1 Melee lb

[pure yoke]

no

because you get 2 and a half lb bars back

from doing it

[quick verge]

oh

wtf

[pure yoke]

basically

you bait horrid roar on 1st orb

you go 3rd orb

tank does lb3

you eat the 3rd orb

[boreal edge]

what about tail?

[pure yoke]

tank handles that

tank knows party is at 3rd orb 100%

[stable basin]

That's some galaxy brain right there

[pure yoke]

it's more easy boy strat

makes it braindead to do

basically tank has the tether

and aims it away from 3rd orb

the tank without tether does tank lb3

once first orb detonate

[stable basin]

Don't agree re: making random dps/heals do it vs tank handling it being rng being bad design, like just trust your dps/heals to run out and then in and sit there

[pure yoke]

?

I am just saying it's a braindead strat

[stable basin]

A bit above

[pure yoke]

and you get your lb3 back anyways

[stable basin]

I think the tank LB3 is brilliant

[pure yoke]

I didn't come up with the strat

I'm just small brain dps player

with very big brain players around me

[boreal edge]

@stable basin im talking about tail

not the balls

[stable basin]

I know

[boreal edge]

u trust that 4th guy to do tail right

which it wont be same guy at every attempt

you can kill o10s 3 times

and not be 4th guy in all of em

[stable basin]

You trust your party to do a lot of mechanics right and they're not always consistent who they target

Like there was no choice to have the same tank grab Daddy laser in o7s instead of a dps

[boreal edge]

you cant pass the laser

[stable basin]

🤔

[boreal edge]

to others

[stable basin]

Right

So you just said ok if you get marked with the thing don't point the thing at everyone else

[boreal edge]

yes

[stable basin]

idk why it's a problem to do that with hot tail

[boreal edge]

cause you arent marked

you are just tethered

ppl can come and break your tether

[stable basin]

You get a mark for breath and know you're going to take the tether if you're 4th

[boreal edge]

add to it

[stable basin]

You can grab tether back

[boreal edge]

some ppl will come break the tether while going to whatever assigned safespot

let alone

[stable basin]

I'm just saying on the scale of mechanic difficulty this is not way up there

[boreal edge]

passing the buff by mistake

while trying to take it back

[stable basin]

So idk what the problem with just saying do the mechanic right is

[boreal edge]

if dadluma laser is tethered

i doubt it will be as easy as point it away

[stable basin]

You'd just have the party stack in one spot and the designated kamehameha victim run through the tether to grab it

So same thing as hot tail

[boreal edge]

also dadaluma is standalone mech

[stable basin]

There's the element of party movement in some tail strats, but those strats also generally give more time to grab the tether

[boreal edge]

things will be completely different if dadaluma laser happened mixed with lets say missiles

[stable basin]

It would be more difficult but I don't see any reason to only let one person ever do it when there's the tradeoff of maybe rng just kills them

[boreal edge]

having 1 guy do it so i rely on 1 guy do it right than 6 guys that will be different each time

[stable basin]

But it's not a hard mechanic

[boreal edge]

the rng trade off can be mitigated by pld/war taking tether

did u pug o10s?

pld can bulwark and awareness

war can raw and awareness

[stable basin]

It's even easier to dodge orbs if you have the tether because you can just chill in the middle after first set goes off

[boreal edge]

drk has only awareness to escape crits

unless u use

[stable basin]

I cleared 10s in a half pug party, static tanks+heals and pug dps

[boreal edge]

what was it?

!action clutch

[storm frost]

Error!

Something went wrong with processing, Kupo!

[boreal edge]

rip

[blazing pelican]

!action crutch

[storm frost]

**Crutch** : lvl 44 PGL LNC ROG MNK DRG NIN SAM (90.0 second cooldown)

Removes Bind and Heavy from target party member other than self.

[boreal edge]

no not this

!action anticipation

[storm frost]

**Anticipation** : lvl 24 GLA MRD PLD WAR DRK (60.0 second cooldown)

Increases parry rate by 30%.
Duration: 20s

[boreal edge]

yes

[blazing pelican]

[stable basin]

You can't parry crits though iirc?

[boreal edge]

awareness + anticipation as drk

awareness

removes crits from play

removing crits + adding block/parry make shield hp higher

and simplify the mech

[stable basin]

Or you could just swap it to whoever isn't tanking and get no bleedthrough

[boreal edge]

that tank eating tether wont take more than 20k if all done right

[stable basin]

My point is if the fight is full of 6/10 difficulty mechanics and exaflare akh morn is 8/10 difficulty then handling the tether is like 4/10 so I don't think it's flawed encounter design that choosing not to trust your party members to handle a 4/10 mechanic makes things harder on you

[boreal edge]

exaflare and akh morn tbh

is easier than divebombs + exaflares

[stable basin]

They're both pretty awful

[boreal edge]

exaflare + divebombs can come with impossible patterns

to dodge both

thats not the case with exa+akh morn

[pure yoke]

what

you can dodge into exaflares

[stable basin]

P sure it's possible to always avoid cauterize+akh morns

[pure yoke]

exaflare doesn't make that lane unpassable

[stable basin]

Adjacent exaflares don't go off at the same time

er cautize+exaflares

[pure yoke]

Square Enix doesn't make impossible rng patterns for mechanics

[boreal edge]

lets say 1st dive is from north to south

[stable basin]

It's possible to end up in a spot that's tricky to dodge out of but that's probably on you for getting there in the first place

[boreal edge]

from east side

and exa start east too

u go west normally

easy right

[pure yoke]

you don't have to go all the way west

[boreal edge]

at least half arena

[pure yoke]

in that case

you should have time to react to any second divebomb

and the lanes that had exaflares won't have exaflares again

[boreal edge]

then dive happen on north to south from west side

depends on how exas happened

[pure yoke]

I don't see how that would create an impossible situation

[boreal edge]

you may/may not able to dodge that without doing ucob exas strat

i think ppl get targetted by horrid roar during exas

i forgot

[pure yoke]

it's like I said

a lane that gotten exaflared before

does not get exaflared again

for that phase

[blazing pelican]

Stack up before it goes off and don't be dumb

[scenic patrol]

and that's on the team for putting roars in a shitty place
