He did super early slashing combo because we were drk/pld
then drg didn't tether him and he got triggered and stopped doing it
Biscuit can you check my ERP logs?
sure link em
Vd is actually an okay guy imo
he is
I just hate his stream persona
He's actually really good but he seems kinda dopey lol
fahros helped me clear o10s on friday
I have no doubts Fahros is one of the best Samurais you'll see
Well, he's good at DRK
but the whole vit melds situation
?

did i miss this drama
about vit melds
reasons u should meld vit:
you get to see pretty 50k on your hp bar
Fahros progged/cleared UwU without vit melds
oh his bought clear
you can see the full shit at the link I provided you
why meld vit when healers can adjust :^)
I can admit when I was wrong, and I was wrong about melding VIT in UwU. I thought I had the whole fight planned out and handled with Third Eye / Bloodbath uses, but I got sat down twice on my 2nd UwU kill where VIT melds would've saved me.
I had to learn the hard way.
So...
just don't die
at least the whole saga ended on a positive note
:^)
remember, if you die to a knockback it is not your fault, but the pld who didnt cover + tempered will you
i wanna try uwu and ucob one of these months
nah it's still ur fault
just use ur gap closer
@scenic patrol What saga
if we talk about knockbacks
Broadcasted live on Twitch -- Watch live at https://www.twitch.tv/ffxivfox
used it 3 secs earlier not my fault :^)
wow is that the legend
fox
i remember this one time on o5s all the boxes got yeeted
and i was playing drk
Ultimate Legend *
but that requires trying, easier to just type in chat and blame others
im actually triggered
By the way are we sure FFLogs filters padding
fflogs doesn't
why would it
I was lied to
This what I get for listening to reddit comments
johni does he die a 4th time
:(
that robotic voice
i can't watch anymore
triggers me
4 times
oh wait that means i need to pentameld another item
yeah
kms intensifies
once to the w/e it's called
im genuinely upset by that
my night is ruined because of that vid
pentameld dh right?
crit>DH
pentamelding DH is a meme

Deltascape was over more than a year ago
Crit is already king for 2 tiers
it said dh for the other 3 tho ._.
probably because they are crit capped
in which case it's the correct thing to do
one thing that's nice about DH
is that it has a tier every 3/4 stats
yeah but just say you're gonna play war so you can lie to yourself
I was dumb and thought he passed me dh materia
and meld det
So I helped him Penta with dh lmao
actually wait
the omega earring gives way more crit than rakshasa one
even with melds
!item omega ear cuff of fending
!item rakshasa earring of fending
...i think even with the unneeded sks omega wins
at least it's just clippinhg
yeah
you won't get em if you just asked the question though
clearing UwU will take some dedication
ultimate content involves finding a static 🤢
I'm confused
unpuggable content
statics = trauma for me, easier to just clear everything in pugs lol
i wish that rather than duty complete they would add checkpoints so it's puggable
e.g. "cleared" past nael, for example
that's the timeline for UwU
Thank you good sir
ez
first you do the thing
then the other thing
and do some stuff
and then you clear
after several .01% enrages to ultima
xd
shame Tovares is not on this server
savage is easily puggable
doubt
else id be playing a diff game XD
i had a war with the jankiest connection today
and when they mashed lb button with full 3 bars
im starting 10 weeks behind so you can imagine what im dealing with rn
we only got lb 2
cleared suzaku today, only people left are the ones that die to the 4 birds before transition NONSTOP
sabotaging his own DC's pug scene like it's going out of style
9s was equally bad
or dumb for uptime
so many earthquake and orb deaths
healers at Narnia during stacks

need I say more?
i lied and said im an alt to join a 2 week for a clear, because 30% enrage from low dps is hot af
because dps always dead or ghosted
its literally me, the other tank, and 2 healers doing the fight
the other 4 dps were just
...yeah
wait until we get into 4.5 decently and join 9s practice parties
you will see what i mean
no thanks
wait, 30% in o9s?
clear parties are already bad enough for o9s
yep
did everyone die in every phase
no
dps were just astoundingly bad
lb3 on the orb to clear transition even tho nobody died
the worst enrage i’ve seen in o9 is like 15

if you need LB3 to clear orb you ain't clearing Chaos
hmm
ive only seen 2nd cyclone like 4 times
Guardian is worse
o10 is fucking awful lol
when i joined the 2 chest party i was like "wtf why is the boss' health so low at this point"
music can be ignored
i liked guardian tho 😦
guardian boss positioning anooyed me, bout it
and doing Virus properly
i feel like they’re trying to make fight scripts that are rehearsed but still have a certain margin of randomness
o10s mindfucked me when i first did it
i didn't understand the concept of the x pattern
second ultros in 7s is one of my favs to do
i think o9 is like... kind of a perfect fight even tho it’s pretty much a dummy
O10S has the problem of pacing
second ultros + missiles 
because missiles are random and you gotta move to the opposite side during it
then he disappears for 30 seconds
is hot tail before or after adds shit
kk
usually a tank does the Hot Tail tether
shit doesn't feel like an enrage
during
kk
before/during
thin Ice + +/X can go die in a fire
let's just take a mechanic from shiva
and then
give you some pattern recognition mechanics
i’m dps so i just have to camera correctly
oh yea i forgot ice was a thing in normal mode, i like movement bullshit in fights
the 9s cheese spot makes me wet and im not even blm
ifrit nail from ifrit normal
alte roite was a sign of things to come
second ultros in guardian is my fav simply because it's as random as random gets in ffxiv
bullet hell
yep
no thanks
when i found out they were all scripted i died a bit inside
as i get yeet bustered every 30 seconds
ruined the fun of constantly having to expect them
now it's just "oh x happened, time to pop cds for later >_>"
they do scripted busters right now because also the healers have their own mechanics
imo
tank cds are also too long for unscripted busters
would have to lower them significantly
imagine getting 4 busters in a row one pull and only 2 the next
good bye CD planning
The entire game isn't balanced around random anything
no itd be the same amount over the course of a fight
and only at set intervals
but it can happen anytime in said interval
so you want uncasted busters?
Imagine getting a really shit combination of mechanics. Goodbye uptime and hello enrage.
🤷
was gobbie prison completely random?
e.g. during any point of water in between mechanics in 9s rather than just at the 1 set time
that way it still retains a random factor but doesnt create certain death scenarios
or tank cd issues
I like pre emtively popping my CDs
So like what we had in FFXI where if you got unlucky it was GG because you got fucked
it shows I know the fight
like popping Ramart right after he jumps during Water
when i find myself pre emptively using them that bores me ._.
it stays until the buster itself
I use cactbot so I use them so they land perfectly to the second
to maximize the uptime they have during autos
as well as the buster
helps improve healer DPS
once i learn i fight i get bored, but to do ultimate you need a static, so im >.<
i like playing a game of chicken to see how far up the cast bar i can use an invuln without dying
lol
Use holmgang last second on O11S first mustard bomb
for ultra memes
see if it wears off before second flamethrower hits
I get coverd for that
I also do a super buffed SiO before the buster + flamethrower
4 CDs SiO
Jesus

uses ld during that one godka part where it is the big tankbuster and the lil tankbuster with the intent of using the invuln to survive both
gets bene'd right before the lil one goes off
yeah it's pretty meme
Yeah, gotta communicate it so they won't heal ya lol
My healers don't even cast a single heal until after the mustard bomb
Whenever I try to do cool stuff with LD in 11s the WHM insta benes
this is why i only use my walking dead macro before i die
anyhow Leo I think it's better to pop all CDs there and then SiO them for flame thrower
you will get a triple buffed SiO
peak performance is blowing all of your defensive cds before level checker
quadra buffed SiO requires Memeheaval opener
and it doesn't line up with the buster
Peak performance is popping inner release right as omega leaves for level checker so you only get one fell cleave
sadly
use every cd to zero out first mustard bomb
IR is on CD though
That way Omega will be afraid and not try any more
Not if you die ;_;
i use cover + rampart + sentinel + reprisal + sheltron for first mustard bomb
the bigger meme is doing no Eye IR
I just always try to keep holmgang on CD
eh
hg for autos
if Holmgang is uneeded it's uneeded
since it lets me use other things for periods of a lot of autos + busters
Wait what

what
Does he really not auto in phase 1?
hyperbole
He steps on you a lot
Oh
because he is a froggo
and SE can't be bothered to make him a unique skeleton
so you get frogmega
awareness.exe
the times he autos me actively I have Rampart running
He's a beatle though
?
you want that robo dick
He has 25 nipples

So I think it's female
by the way
when does omega nipples turn glowy purple
cause I know they do at some point
I just haven't bothered to look
chestpiece only from 12s as usual right?
just skip 4th tbh
bet
why u shield oath there?
wait
im retarded
i thought shield oath not shake it off

and yes
only 4th is scary
rest are ok
i sio 1st flame
wait
i sio 1st raid aoe
then delta
then electric slide
then panto1 long needle
then 4th flame
then panto2 long needle
just clemency
just tank lb
tank lb reserved for getting fisted
respect content do mechanics

no panto 2?
i see most tank do reprisal flamethrower
pop all CDs for mustard or holmgang
but saving shake if off for panto 2
maybe there's a better optimized idk
I am only a PUG guy
😔
yeah
Sentinel + Cover + super buffed SiO
mustard has DoT come after tho
yes, this is why it doesnt hit hard
but now we're saying o11s haha
it's still painful
depends on how tank managing CDs
though the dot is not big deal considering how short it is
kefka dot was far longer
Holmgang is super good there due to how short the DoT is
it can cover the entire duration aside from the last tick
Mustard is 76K according to my log
not mitigated?
so you can survive this without cd
not mitigated
you know you'll get bonked right after right?
@scenic patrol mustard is 110k to me
AA is painful too
under holm
o11s AA more frequent right?
lmao
it's a pretty painful buster
tail end is 100k
so you can't pop all for tail end?
easy
but you don't pop all?
i pop 2 at each tail end
no
why people never cover 😔
u dont want doom

is free right?
no damage taken for 16 seconds
3 seconds...
people do swap?
1st is holm
2nd is HG
first 2 tail ends
yes
yes
we swap at 1st 2
You don't want to waste HG in case you will be tanking all 3 tank busters in last phase
also for + and x , the thunder is 100% targeting DPS? assuming nobody die
3rd is just pop 2 cds
I managed at time to take a zero damage Tail End
unless 1 dies
last phase is 2 cds 2cds holm all cds
assuming midgard said fuck you
I'm pugging so i don't care much about optimisation except for totally lazy bs i will not allow such as range not taking blaster or some cozy fireballs strats
no swapping
not like i play with random ppl
might as well optimize some parts
as long its not galaxybrain
strats
yes so do I but i am aware how pug is limiting stuff
fuck this shit
fortunately i had good and 1 group for entire sigma prog so i didn't pug even once
too galaxybrain
the normal forsaken 2 is still decent still 90% uptime
o4s delta uptime is fine
no it wasnt
it just required the war
to not look at his death
rest is just braindead
since in delta uptime
80% of arena is forbidden to look at
gotta pinpoint that safe spot to look at
nvm
im being retarded
i thought u meant gcd
not delta attack
i need to sleep or coffee

no just o11s dolta attaque
mmhmm, you get a bar of LB for critical mitigation for 6 party members, which is why you get some from the tank LB3 there
can't really get more out of it unless you're planning on trying to get folks hit low for critical healing LB gen but that sounds annoying, especially since you have to top them off after the hit
That's tragic
you can however insta-generate LB3 back from tank LB red fists, or you can hypermitigate it without tank LB and get a full LB3 that way, too, if you want LB gen shenanigans for the fight
There's also taking off your armor at the beginning for flamethrower for more cheese
yep haha
so you can get 2 DPS LB3 at once?
you said you can mitigate it without lb
and get full lb
Nice, I only saw video when everybody stacks on fists and do not leave them then they get full lb3 after tank lb3 but here it looks like you can do double dps lb3
standing in the AoEs do zero damage
for the other strat it's just, you don't top people off from the previous atomic ray
Thats some hot stuff
imagine not using tank lb on fists
a real galaxy brain strat is using tank lb3 on the regular fists at the beginning
Biscuit, I'm returning to PLD. Teach me what has changed since 4.1
Only thing of note
Passage of Arms now applies its buff once the animation finishes
and uhhh
probably something else
it applies instantly 
you can click it while running
it'll apply the buff for 5s
same with ast bubble
no the startup has to finish
nah try it while running
you still don't instantly get the buff while running, it takes like a second
you don't have to stand still tho
Yeah but it isn't push and instant arms up buff
but it isn't instant
tru
if there's no ranged in narnia
no reason why range should not be close
CU works the same way but the startup animation is a lot lower than passage
so it's pretty much instant
I meld int on mch
I died so many times due to missing covenant
The last time I used PoA, I was in Shinryu NM during week one lol
bigger brain have healer rescue you
biggest brain kill boss before aoe
biggest brain delete pets
omega brain don't use pets
sch too powerful it has to have a ball and chain in form of pet ai
When I play sch I like to press adlo and see the pretty green crits
I was doing shin ex last night and sch was fishing for critlo on me and I clicked it off its fun
LMAO
deployed to like 3 people

The best feeling is killing your bard in o11s because cover sucks
tldw
its an 8s video, you nub
tldw
gdi biscuit
its some lady running away screaming while a dude gets out of a car saying 'why are you running?'
oh that meme
it's usually cover defaulting to another person when they're too far for the initial cast
but then I wanna cast holy spirit so you gotta do some 600 iq calculations to get the hs cast and cover them
lmao I love the -Coverd part hahaha
that just means the duration of cover expired
they'll keep that buff for the whole 12 or whatever seconds
but you won't eat additional damage if they aren't in the whatever yalm distance
hey, gauge management question:
if you finish a combo and land on 100 gauge, do you a) use Fell Cleave immediately or b) Heavy Swing first to take advantage of the crit buff?
Is there any 4.4 crafting simulator? Crafting Optimizer doesn't have 4.4 stuff
@fossil basalt heavy swing
unless you need to go into IR
for example if i have 3s left on IR and that happens, fell cleave instead of heavy swing
because there's a high chance infuriate will come off cd during IR
yeh, managing infuriate takes priority
Woo we made it, now to get past it 😄
\o/
naisu

his name is steve
Omega's seen some steve
What theoretically would do more damage: melded 370 gear or unmelded 380 gear
It depends on the substats
Hmm
Basically wondering if i can just run around in unmelded rakshasa rather than last tier's gear
Rak should be quint melded
Too lazy to meld stuff imma be replacing soon anyways
Otherwise why get it
No. Full stop
The bis accessories are pentamelded
Melds are free or cheap anyway
Rest of it 0 melds
And you get crafted gear specifically to 5 meld it
just get alphascape nm gear/scaevan gear
Started late so i need the highest ilvl i can get to dodge ilvl pf lockouts
Even elemental armor would be preferred
Havent done pagos tho
380 with 5 materia slots
Then you definitely can't have it
You'd need to be in pyros
I mean
You say to dodge PF ilvl
But they’ll just kick you
For being so shit you can’t even meld
If you’re not melding you’re probably not doing hot on a lot of things
imagine using a 375 weapon
Since that’s the lowest most basic shit
I somehow found a suzaku clear party
Idk how
It got a long enrage timer so that helped i guess
suzaku enrage actually doesn't exist
I saw it
Yes it does biscuit
It “exists” but nobody sees it
I did
i get really woke when i see both healers die
30% 9s enrage pogchamp
Jesus
What
O3n has one wtf
There’s enrage in normal?
Lmfao
Or the mythical Cu Chulainn enrage
who
Void ark boss
3rd Boss
Seeing the shit ive seen, me being unmelded is the least of the parties' concern
just have a suzaku weapon at the very least
using diamond weapons past week 1/2 is trolling
Its only to show ive cleared o8s and not some random newb, i use suzaku ofc
Rn my main concern is capping genesis every week bc im so behind lol
5 experts and im good if done once a day
yeah, if you only care about capping, one dungeon run per day, five times a week. You'll be logged in for 45 minutes at most lol.
I play tank so i just zoom through real quick
That's what I'm trying to get back to lol
Pull wall to wall, pop cds, and shouldnt be over 15 mins
Only actual threat is mist dragon
Bc some people just cant :/
Kk ty
Substats are a meme tbh
Lol
Like 200 substation is gonna increase ur dps by a whopping 1-2%
Imma prob meld up when i get to 11
Yes
Oh...
It's not like healer bis
Lol
owo
Its k
I don't think it even applies generally
Im just trynna catch up
Since even the omegalulfire is bis for mch
Fuck lenovo
No war bis is omega
There’re 2 build?
Pf median on 11 rn so i still gotta slog thru 10
One build is with tome I think
Tome doesnt give sks
just invest in pyros weapon and go for sleeper bis in 4.5
That involves doing pagos
with the forbidden land hyoton
hyoton
Need sks for fell cleave
you don't need that much sks
Bc of the weapon damage but make ur jokes u guess
a12s drk BiS is tome or alex?
There were several occasions where tome is BiS compared to meme sub stat
yeah but the substats have to be extremely meme
MaXiMuM tEnAcItY
!item Alexander claymore
!item Alexander greatsword
!item alexandrian claymore
!item alexandrian greatsword
Lmao
!item alexandrian metal greatsword
dang
Fak
It updated
Ye, now is DH
did you need accuracy in creator
!item alexandrian metal guillotine
lmao
oh even worse
No wonder it was meme as fuck
Yes that's why
Parry didn't give damage
While every stat gives tanks damage in SB
So the substats are meme but not meme enough to make tome bis
For dungeons
Piety is completely useless for drk
Sprll speed is legit
Piety doesn't work on non healers
Oh rip
spell speed and skill speed are separate
Ik i mistyped
it literally does nothing
And dark passenger
POGGERS
Nvm
Scales off str
I mean yeah ur supposed to meld str on accs
Can you pentameld just str?
no
You can
Rip
you're forbidden

Damnit se
i hope tanks do more damage than dps in 5.0
I want more tank stuff
Blue dps that need to do mechs suck
Guardian was fun bc a lot of tank stuff to do regarding adds
then you got the medium brain uptime strats
BoSs PoSiTiOnInG iS a MeChAnIc
It is tho
nah
I get triggered if the boss is slightly crooked on the floor markers
GET IN THE CENTER DAMNIT
my favorite thing to do in 12s is get slightly outside the lethal distance for limit cut
what is happening to ur mp
manashift and r2 cause muh mechanics
!item super ether
but my powerful grade 1 infusion
grade 1
I am poor
poor people don't clear ultimate. /s
wasting gil on non-glamour stuff
my uwu tanks couldn't afford gear repairs cause they bought pots and food
I got 70 mil and my ass too cheap for shaksouka
what buff usage
like raid buffs
probably
I'm a SMN I don't have that nor a rotation flexible enough to give a fuck
devotion /s
you hold a lot at the end of each primal for next openers
and ultima transition takes like 10 years
and you like uhhh hold dps before suppression till the homing laser and then burst it to get it down to 46% instead of 48% or something
cause post suppression is the only dps check worth caring about
when i am healer https://www.reddit.com/r/ShitpostXIV/comments/a2zlij/me_as_a_healer/
Me as a healer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7DhzeTp9SQ
Eddie Redmayne creates life and destroys it.
Is this room for discussing glamour ?
is glamour endgame content
@Biscuit#8212 yes.
i wish they will change raise skill in 5.0 into a oGCD without MP costs and instant with ca recast time of 30 sec or even 45 sec

no, you have to be punished for other peoples mistakes
raise will have 10 secs cast and swift will be 2 mins gcd
tank busters can now be dodged
Emnity reduction is removed from the game, tanks must now use emnity combos
good
