Sorry Shibe no clue

Create a macro in slot #98 or #99, then go to the controller setup and change the button mapping to one of those two macros. Or just leave the macros blank and do the same thing

I heartily recommend sticking a macro that's just /ac "sprint" in slot 99
then binding that to right stick
sprint is handy

hmm.
Thank you. I'm looking to use it for duty action stuff. but the sprint would be kinda cool.
I dont use Lock on ever, I could make that be sprint

there's isn't much to dodge anyway

It’s the circle AOE that’s the issue because it delays your GCD

pentamelding is when you meld 5 materia to an item
can only be done to crafted items
You only see the assured slots on the gear, as melding after those 1-2 slots is a percentage
and if the materia melding isn't successful you lose the materia
quick verge
make all the materia explode

Hmm.
So crafted accs r good because you could meld bik amounts of Vit onto them?
Or whatever else.

you can't overmeld main stat, VIT included in that

Pentamelding is also generally fairly expensive

depends on your server's market

in casual content it really doesn't matter but at endgame when you're gonna have people surviving only thanks to fey union and covenant/wd it's obviously more important

I've done that too, slap in middle and if we stack somewhere else I move it.

there's some cleaves in ex and savage that pets die to so you have to make sure she's not actually right on the tank

So i have a question, in a scenario . Alphascape v4. you're down to one boss in the last phase at about 15-20%. You the two healers a scholar and a WHM
What should be done, should they try and support eachother to keep the party alive for the final stretch
Or go full nuke mode
untold oyster
Nuke the fucker
dusky tendon
even at the risk of a complete wipe?
quick verge
keep everyone alive
dull radish
though to be honest you don't really need all that much to keep people alive unless someone's like out of MP
dusky tendon
Me as as scholar had emptied my tools at that point, the whitemage who had to be fair been chadding me pretty hard the entire run
Goes on nuking
Doesn't even try to stabilize between AoE's
quick verge
you should have a lb 3 at that point so they'll die quickly
dusky tendon
We didn't my Co-healer hadn't done a proper job getting people stabilized after AoE's so we had alot of dps down
quick verge
interesting
dusky tendon
So it was me trying to get healer up and then get the rest up, hoping to get them stabilized, or use LB3
I'm not joking. I had to use emergency tactics between AoE's to get people up relatively high
More than once
Ah well, the kill was there in the end
Just the worst co-healer i've had in a long time
mortal forge
hello guys , im a player of world of warcraft end game top 200 eu guild. today i start my trial ffxiv account. How's the end game raiding content here? is challenging ? booses are with mechanics like wow ? how is drop gear from end game content , its worth it ?
dusky tendon
Endgame raiding here is alot more simple
You don't have trash to clear aside from alliance raids
That said, bosses start simple, but one you get to ex and savage modes they become more complex
mortal forge
is only bosses , hack and slash or bosses with mechanics?
dusky tendon
Alot of mechanics, more the more higher the difficulty usually
untold oyster
I feel like the dynamic is kinda different in ffxiv. Instead of having tanks just tank and healers just heal you have everyone working towards pushing more damage out while doing their respective roles
dusky tendon
That's somewhat the case in WoW also
At least if you're a high end raider, you're gonna have the mindset of getting all the dps out you can while tanking, healer mechancis is different tho
Healers have much more responsibility in regards of DPS
dusky tendon
Sort of
mortal forge
dungeos are like wow? hard and normal ?
dusky tendon
Sort of
untold oyster
You get max ilvl gear from the endgame tomes and the raids
They’re both the same ilvl, with the exception of the weapon, the raid weapon is 5 ilvls higher than the upgraded tome wep
dusky tendon
You can get 390 gear from currency, and then upgrade to 400 from raid loot
untold oyster
And there’s “hard mode” dungeons which are really just different dungeons entirely but in the same setting
Dungeons are about the same difficulty throughout the game, the content that you can consider to be more difficult are the extreme trials and savage raids
The hardest content in the game are the ultimate fights, of which there are two
Those are for the glory that come with clearing it, you don’t get better gear but you get a cool looking weapon and a title
dusky tendon
But don't expect WoW style raids in ff14, Alliance raids being the exception
But those are often also very light on trash mobs
untold oyster
Yeah. The savage raids are 8 man
The alliance raids are 24 man but aren’t that hard, they’re like 24 man dungeons
pastel cobalt
Does WoW have any equivalent to the Ultimates in FFXIV?
dusky tendon
Mythics is the closest
But i haven't cleared ultimate raids or mythicss in WoW to be able to compare them
ruby timber
one of the biggest difference btw WoW raiding and FFXIV raiding is the lack of DBM or anything like it here
obsidian nebula
How do statics work? Is that like a raid team? (im also from wow)
dull radish
yeah, a static is a consistent group of people that meet up together to run content. Generally for endgame raiding, but there can be more casual statics for other content
obsidian nebula
Oh that's nice - so no need to commit to a server or FC?
or is harder content server only?
lyric summit
nope, it's cross world in a datacenter
dusky tendon
Well, being in an FC helps
obsidian nebula
Nice
dusky tendon
But you don't have to commit to aq static, prepare to be frustrated tho
lyric summit
cause pugs suck ass most of the time
obsidian nebula
Are statics pugs?
lyric summit
no, pick up groups, party finder randoms
obsidian nebula
ah okay - sorry I misunderstood what he was saying that
lyric summit
if you don't have a static and want to do high end content you'll have to pug
obsidian nebula
then*
Yeah, static sounds good - and it's nice if you dont have to be in the same FC/same server.
I understand what he was saying
like if you don't commit to a static you have to pug, and pugging is aids.

Im conflicted gearing my alt job with alphascape loot because I remember trying to get ONE shaft from A12 back when it got unlocked, I ran it 15 times, even rolled a 97 once and still never got one. . .

A 400 scaevan codex should still be stronger than. Pyros codex for sch right?
Even with horrible sub stats?
On that note. Even if Seiryu weapon is 5 ilvl less. Itd still be more powerful due to having crit?

Super good rolls on pyros weapon would probably make it better than aug. tome. Balance SCH channels put seiryu above aug. tome as well yeah

What ilvl is pyros tome?

just kill seiryu, it's easier and faster and higher ilvl and has guaranteed secondaries

hmmm.
Do you think I should instead of the tomestone weapon for SCH buy the Raksasha weapon and use my tomestones on good slots like belt, ring and shoes instead?

Im not sure if the Scaevan one beats Seiryu weapon tho.
That's why am indecisive. Seiryu has crit.
Scaevan might be 400 ilvl but it has Piety and SKillspeed

A good dps at that ilvl should be between 5-7k depending on class right?

more or less, 5k is a bit on the lower side but yeah

3-3.5 i’ve seen floating around

if you're moving then hit ruin 2

Yeah, i need to fix the keybind for that
It’s on the part that’s not covered by 1 to 0
For me keeping people alive, having being chadded by q co-healer it sucked losing dps to ineffent heals 😦
quick verge
fairy and indom can handle most
dusky tendon
I had to use succor to stabilize people after AoE’s because of co-healer
It barely used it’s own aoe heals, so i was consantly starved
Ane usually that’s enough yeah
As long as the co-healer helps out now and then
quick verge
just let everyone die
dusky tendon
If i only was hardwired that way
quick verge
it's to prove a point
dusky tendon
Yeah i know
Actually, i have an opposite problem at times, co-healer topping off after i’ve popped dawn and it will be enough
quick verge
my general guideline for healing is if not healing will result in me immediately dying or lead to my death
if you won't die to aoe then nobody else will
steep iris
if you have to top people off after an aoe, use WD
If WD/indom isn't up, use ET succor, but that's only IF you absolutely need to heal people up for that point
you don't have to shield every aoe also
also if you're doing slightly above 3k on a dummy, you're probably closer to i370
in which case 2.5k is probably fine
and a good dps at/near bis should be doing around 7k or higher in an avg uptime fight
dull radish
Yeah, I was moreso going off of good pug dps with people at just an ilvl for seiryu
steep iris
mid 6k is average for a lower pdps class
I'm gonna assume that you're (1ndie) talking about normal raids
the damage that goes on in normal raids usually never requires shields
and always try to prioritize ogcd healing over gcd healing unless it's a loss (example 2 indoms = 260 potency lost vs 1 succor 230 potency lost)
and i'm by no means a scholar expert
use m2 to weave whenever you can (if mp allows it)
and only ruin2 if you have no choice
if you end up clipping a lot you're gonna lose a lot of dps due to dropping gcds
steep iris
Aim for 2.5k consistently
there shouldn't be a lot of damage that requires gcd healing in seiryu ex
dusky tendon

Whats the ideal way to level up right-side slots right now without genesis or spamming ghimlyt dark over and over
If you already have at least i355 so mendacity wont do much
sacred cobalt
I would guess alphascape bolts.
But I’d go for your second ring w genesis at least.
kind schooner
Ah didnt think of that, alphascape normal is like 380 right
I capped genesis at 1009 and intent to buy the i390 weapon since I havent unlocked snake yet
Altho I wonder now if buying two genesis pieces and keeping my lance at 370 is a better idea
sacred cobalt
Yeah it’s 380. (Sorry had a call)
And as far as wep I guess just depends on how bad the other upgrades are needed
errant kayak
Weapon comes first
With 1009 genesis I’m assuming you’re getting two accessories or along the lines of that
The cost of each piece of gear directly relates to the ilvl they contribute
That’s why weapons are harder to get and why body and legs pieces cost more
Unless you’re planning to run seiryu for the weapon
But even then you should be going for the body/leg gear first

its actually more fun if you go into a raid blind than know the mechanics tbh
and when you learn from it on your own, its even better

Is it better to try to get into savage raiding now or wait for 5.0?
rapid sapphire
it's good to learn now even if aren't hardcore into it since teaching when it's "old" tends not to happen very often

floaters are the ones who adjust
if the initial small blue-yellow fists are not properly paired up into blue-yellow
so if your pair is blue-blue
the one who moves is floating

is it one float per group?

yea u have 3 floaters
they use it to determine how to spread panto 2 lasers
floaters in first is the common aether PF pug strat

if you have a paladin then ranged baits blaster
ranged does chain of memories
ranged also baits panto 2
tank lb3 for big fists
quaint flower
keep in mind this is how it should be if you are pugging forget about any range doing panto 2 or blaster without a fight
quaint flower
well technically panto 2 is range mechanic

and there's some uptime strats for casters during panto 1 and 2
which involve not standing near the party
errant kayak
eh, ill leave that stuff up to the tanks and ranged to decide
i just do dps and give people ta

I have no fucking idea why pugs want tanks to do panto 2
when ranged can do it so much easier and with no dps loss

Or they are lying on the app and don't actually know how shit works

I think that's both
normal sable
if u let brd take panto 2 aoes
u can hallowed the second half of panto lasers as pld
and take dps lasers
which is pretty huge, being able to resolve panto 2 w/ minimum 6
instead of minimum 8
grizzled pendant
guys, hell's kier extreme (phoenix) for the part where you rotate to avoid the colors explosions. I tried doing that and a dps said "i'm not gonna bother DPSing if the tank makes the boss go merry round"
Is there a better way to avoid these?
spring dock
dps should stop being an asshat for one
but you can technically weave between them
If timed properly
doing it the intended way does inherently make the boss do circles though
grizzled pendant
I just tried that weaving method and ended up wiping my grp... i'll just do circles
spring dock
Yeah, timing depends heavily on ping
if your connection isnt completely consistent you'll probably get fucked up too
quick verge
if your connection isn't consistent you have to move early
Because your position is snapshot early for hotspot
which is why you see many people who move into an adjacent tile still get hit
because it snapshot early and they moved too late
the inverse is true too
moving into a tile seemingly early and not getting hit by hotspot

sort of just common pug conventions
for o11s panto 1, is the norm circular movement around omega to bait aoes and cards/then intercards to bait lazers?
lyric summit
ye
errant kayak
is there a norm for how the 3-3 lazers in panto 2 is split?
lyric summit
not sure, there's a few different macros floating around
sometimes it's 2 sets of melee/ranged/heal, sometimes it's the same inter/cardinal groups
sometimes they're 3 on one side and 3 on other, sometimes it's 1 laser on W E and S of the boss
stable basin
Primal does the same way but static first 🤔
quick verge
doesn't really matter tbh
fathom matrix
so is it my fault?? during alphascape 4.0, i was marked by an ability called "optimized meteor", i positioned myself in a place where i could be far away from my team, most ppl avoided me and there was a healer next to me that seem lazy to move and he died, so he started blaming me about how i forgot to use shield oath(admittely, i did forget to use shield oath), but i still kept aggro on the Omega Female and other said it was my fault as well
stable basin
Default strats tend to vary a bit by datacenter even in the same region
fathom matrix
only one person died that moment
quick verge
they probably did something wrong
fathom matrix
but most ppl were blaming me about how i forgot to use shield oath during optimzed meteor, and most ppl were avoiding me during that moment eexcept healer, so i didnt understand why ppl blamed me?
quick verge
they're idiots
fathom matrix
they said i wasnt drawing aggro, but the enmity list said i was still on top of it
sorry, ill stop
stable basin
people are just defective
I don't use tank stance pulling my twin in savage
granted pld with no nin is a bit harder and people are less likely to use diversion in normal
quick verge
pld reopener uses aggro combo anyway
because even with a nin
it's going to get really close if you have big dick dps
stable basin
But aggro is pass/fail and if you're on top as tank that's all that matters

I had a random pally in a Qarn party I was in
I don't think they quite knew what to do
I was playing my BLM and I was tearing aggro off the tank

wtf fflogs took like 100 dps off of my rdm kill
lyric summit
play a real caster
inland ore
If you get disappointed after losing 100 dps on rdm, oh boy... wait until you play blm.
normal sable
several hundred when ur 10k
lmao big tax
we need higher taxes for high dps classes
dull radish
it's actually a very specific reason why BLM gets taxed so much
ACT just kinda considers damage done in AF to have the AF damage multiplier
so when it's estimating how much DoT damage is dealt by party members each tick, it thinks BLM is doing much more of the damage tick than they actually are
fflogs however resolves this a bit more precisely and gives a closer approximation, making BLM get taxed a pretty large amount haha
dull radish
it's not the procs, it's the ticks
only way to avoid it is to never have thunder ticking while in AF
inland ore
SMN is nice in that you usually get significant refunds.
Except in m/f.
Then it's just unpredictable what dps you'll end up with.
dull radish
just steal DoT damage with firewall, np
quick verge
m/f is unpredictable in general
sometimes ill gain like
70 dps
other times ill lose
120
inland ore
I hate the fight so much.
I have little hope of ever getting orange in it.
I see getting orange in m/f as a bigger challenge than final.
Oh yeah. My static might be trying the blm/smn/sam/brd speedrun meta comp for m/f one day.
So I'm going to need to polish the rust off my blm.
It's kind of sad, because my drg has the caster chest and I don't.
inland ore
Maybe someday.
Wait, would sam be better than drg on the brd's boss?
Oh yes, slashing.

Is there certain strats to make o10s easier like there is in o9s?

Idk how I died to corners
Do you have to be way back in the corner
Because I was like semi corner
kind schooner
The hardest part of getting into a hell kier extreme run is finding a group that isnt set to duty complete, or ilv 380+ 
I bet the actual fight is easier
vale dagger
Its either sides or corners after hot tail
When it was corners I only moved somewhat corner not all the way and died.
lyric summit
i don't think anyone does sides anymore tbh
it was probably more popular early in the tier with people doing hot tail vertically/horizontally but now everyone does it diagonally
i379 and below is pretty low ilvl though, not that hard to get @kind schooner
we've had i390 tome gear and i380 omega drops for like 4 months now
kind schooner
I only just rejoined the game like 3-4 weeks ago lol
So my pieces are like two orbonnes, a few alphascape like the belt and an accessory, genesis boots and I can get and i400 the genesis body today to go to like i375
Im banking on replacing my wep with a hells kier one to get me to i380 so I can start snake

One of the few fights I wish I could zoom the camera out like 2x as much as it can go

asides from the big guy where you have to watch his hands, you can listen to audio for the snakes
there's a prominent "sssss" sound that triggers when they appear and on the side they appear relative to you character

Wait you don't? But doesn't kill you or at the very least give you a vuln stack?

Well first phase went good, only one death. Second phase is a mess lol
lyric summit
what are you referring to? @vale dagger
kind schooner
I ran back in time for Melody but it pulled me over the middle anyway, like I stopped in safety just on the edge and then it suddenly yeeted me into the pit anyway
vale dagger
O10S corners or sides after hot tail
kind schooner
Oh thank god theres echo in this trial lol

i meant people don't dodge to sides, only to corners

there's echo in seiryu ex?

Hopefully then we can beat it before the hour timer lol
So both of my deaths are to melody pit 😦
errant kayak
suzaku isn't that bad
kind schooner
I forgot she casts that during platform explosions
errant kayak
just get used to when she casts melody
and surecast/arms length
the cd is short enough that it's back up prior each knockback iirc
(or pull in)
errant kayak
use it only when you see the cast bar
the cast is < 5sec i think
or don't cast it too late? the animation takes half a second or so
it just helps with uptime and juggling other mechanics, but feel free just to adjust by running out if that's easier
kind schooner
Aww, wiped at 0.5%
Enrage
This fight is so stressful I already miss lakshmi and only worrying about instant deaths when you didnt press vril
kind schooner
Ok arms length doesnt work
I spam pressed it and it just didnt do anything lol.
I'll just opt to run away instead
Oh omg I bound Crutch
lyric summit
it should work, make sure you're not using it too late or too early
kind schooner
Yeah I just tried using the wrong ability lmao
normal sable
i don't think arms length works on snek wave anyway
lyric summit
only on the punch knockback from the middle
errant kayak
not snek
but there's no need to on snek
well you could mitigate the knockback from the wheels
that's useful during the second time they comeback to ignore the knockback since there's a lot going on
and might as well pop it during the add phase initially since it's less work adjusting
kind schooner
Aight got it with 15 mins left and 15% echo, close one
I learned you can eat someone else's CQC orb and run in that direction instead because mine said left, tried to run to the other side of the arena, and randomly started running right and died lol

So, Seriyu is in fact pretty easy
And healing the add phase is intense
Didn't get close to a kill today but good practice on adds
stable basin
Hardest part of snekboi is getting everyone on the same page for the line stacks
dusky tendon
line stacks were simple enough
errant kayak
the first line stack is just stack, second line stack after 1st meteors is still fine
it's usually the third line stacks that pug group fail to adapt since it right after a series of knockbacks
unkempt helm
New-ish to the game, never touched Savage but friends had me saving up (I think) 1,000 Genesis as well as coins from the raids for a higher ilvl weapon that Seiryu's. Could someone please clarify/remind me what was needed, where to turn it in, etc.?

At the aetheryte, go forward a bit and turn right.

no, you'd need 4 weeks of O12N

Okay, I understand now 😄 It doesn't help because I thought the weapons were higher ilvl than 390. Whoops.
Thank you all.
thorn bear
the coins are for upgrading the weapons
you can trade in the coins for an item called Scaevan Ester I believe that upgrades the weapons from 390 to 400 @unkempt helm
unkempt helm
Oh, thank you! I'll look into it. A friend just told me that wasn't in the game yet but who knows
rapid sapphire
esters for weapons aren't out for casual (non 11s clears) yet

thorn bear
the only thing is that you still need to farm Alphascape V4.0 normal for four weeks to buy a weapon

it won't be available for a few more patches, most likely part2

probably will be 3 coins/6 peerless logs

I have 7 crystalloids but this has me thinking, unless I somehow manage some Savage, I should upgrade my 390 armor with the Genesis I have.
