But yeah like I said GMs can't reveal the details
But it was pretty clear-cut griefing
except the L1 characters all still exist 
So do you just stop progging for 3 weeks
we got a workaround
Oh thats nice at least
that was 6th time we see wormhole btw
grats to the crystal tea 5man clear
also there's 182 chaos clears on fflogs already
225 on primal, 251 on aether
kinda shit data sampling when 99.9% of ultimate clears on eu and na get uploaded to fflogs
we dont know when the date data was gathered on
guess it was 1 week earlier
data will surely include alts too
those 8 people making bank from those sales

I ate popoto salad instead of robe lettuce and one of the melees asked if I changed my gcd because the boss movement was different ๐
probably missed a positional because the movement changed
Lmao
this is a tuesday and ppl are wiping to a e1s 2 chest weekly! ๐ฉ I think i been at this around an hour and 15 mins now lol.
I'm too tired now. Did it for like 2 hours no clear
plan on doing it tomorrow night too. i just need weekly clear. it's either forgetting to interrupt add, spinny, dps check, mostly spinny problem...
i always get my weeklies down in a like hour of starting
i didn't start till like 920/930 cst
I've only cleared e1s so that was my only weekly. i wanted to do more e2s learning but now it's too late for that.
too late at night i mean. I'm tired from running it for 2 hours. it's almost midnight here.
ah that
sometimes i can last 2 1/2 hours but if it's the same group and i don't loose ppl and have to find others and if it's learning
thanks though
๐
Just watch xeno die on stream, it does make me feel better. ๐
old man cleaves his problems in twain
Is it irony that the new endgame now is back to T5,T8,T12,A4S,A8S, and A12S?
For BLU
The good old days
Just do more damage lol

lul
nisi is not a contact sport 
of course it is
i know missing yew
@foggy latch ready to die to ramuh next patch?
but it will be content
though i need to finish it week 2 or 3
i will be busy playing ff7r
if 5.2 coming at 11th feb like im expecting
i have 3 weeks to clear it
idk if ruby weapon is actual ruby weapon from ff7
also is it confirmed we will have ramuh?
i dont think ramuh will be E8S
E8S has to be surprise
there was stage with heavy thunderstorm?
Why not both
It also looks like the thunder plains
So it could be ixion or like
Ramuh Ixion Centaur
Or Ramuh riding Ixion
havent played since release week, are all my fellow healer friends still mad about our revamps
I'm mad about people not having the decency to do their mechanical fuckups in assize range
it's been like 7 months but ok 
does AST have more than dps card yet ๐
yeah uh it has a card called unbridled rage when you get like 4 boles in a row
id rather get 4 boles in a row than only have 1 card
ok
๐
tbh other than bole/ewer which are unreliable
spire is useless
and balance/spear/arrow are all unga bunga dps cards
with the latter being hated by some jobs
i think the new changes are fine
am i the only person that actually liked giving ewer and bole lmfao
like it wasnt ideal to give bole but if there's raidwide going out and there's no other option its better than bitching
its not reliable though
But it only mattered then if it actually saved people
which is imo the problem
unless someone's gonna run out of mp there's no real reason for ewer
people run out of mp a lot in pugs
dmg mitigated is dmg that doesnt have to be healed though
bole is useless if it doesn't save resources or save the raid
and in most cases it does neither
personally felt like you get more out of proper usage of lightspeed/lucid dreaming than you would having an ewer
but again, the main issue is that its not a reliable thing to fall back on
if consistency was that much of an issue i'd play something with consistency always, like whm
much prefer having consistent and reliable cards to be played
than potentially having to play cards for the sake of playing the card
which felt too boring and straightforward for me so i hated it beyond healing absolute monkeys because it's basically bomb proof
like if you already had a RR, and you drew an ewer
but no one needed it at that moment you either had to toss it or store it
and then you may never need it
so it essentially is a waste
tbh if you think about it
If a raidwide does 65k damage
a spread bole cuts out 6.5k from that
chances are it's not gonna save resources
cause 6.5k is a smol amount to heal
scale it up to heavy hitting aoes like maybe mega holy in TEA and it could possibly save the raid from a wipe but want to look for consistency with your healing plan in endgame raiding most of the time
@steep iris long time no see binch
henlo
sipping TEA?
it ded
i was carried by a 7/8 cleared group anyway
so eh don't really feel like i've accomplished shit
I need more prog hours haha
wtb more prog hours
i was at nearly/around 60 when i got the clear
we've been going so little and then had a big break for thanksgiving, then minimal hours again, then a big break for christmas
faster than my own prog time for uwu and ucob
then our GNB is changing work hours probably and we have to find a replacement
people have def done faster with fresh though 

think we'll have a week+ break for xmas as well
we had like
10 days for thanksgiving because someone was travelling
our last day is monday maybe then we don't go again until like a week into January?
our GNB's schedule should be changing Jan 1st though
so hoping we can find a good replacement
at least we're not stuck on LC heck or anything but I was hoping to at least be a good bit through P3 by now
i left the static i cleared ucob and uwu with week 1 but ended up joining a friend's group like a week after
but i also had to cut out a lot of raid days cause i had finals
glad they didn't mind me taking days off even if i only just joined 
I'm a bit sad we never got around to getting through ucob too
but motivation is so low to go back to synced content
we sped back through and caught up with new members near end of SB but
people went on break before shb
i ended up raiding about the same amount during finals week cause the (separate) 7/8 cleared group needed a healer sub suddenly
then when shb came out we were just kinda ehhh to actually go to do more ucob haha

I just want to have raid days without lag or people sleeping through or getting banned
it's so hard to not overwrite foul
LMAO cats
oh man like
are you in aku's static
yes
after we had our break for thanksgiving
he wasn't the first person to say gm gaol
someone IMMEDIATELY was like please don't say you're in gaol
we didn't have gm problems though~
yeah my old static had a lot of dc issues during their prog ๐
oh we also had a day of dcing at missile command
and then ppl changed off 2b glam and stopped dcing
what was he banned for anyway
You know Ith right
oh yeah
Yeeah
at least tea (so far) hasn't caused the same issue as E1S does for me
where during the transition my computer just kinda dies
sometimes
Funny thing is they didn't delete all the characters that caused the problem
at least you weren't the person in my friend's static that kept crashing on golden transition
big oof
and did they delete any or none at all?
I'm um
I feel like my computer might have that issue
but we never made it to golden
only start of HF
feelsbadman
I don't think they deleted any
from where we were with prog a ways back
that fflogs never removed
even if you don't dc golden is laggy af because the background is so extra
they wouldn't need to remove the log cause you didn't exploit anything
like wow potentially shooting my party in the foot for execution rankings
True, but I also feel like it's just... not exactly on the same playing field as the rest lol
Or a really really stupid thing for people to intentionally do for ranking
though idk who actually cares about execution other than bragging about being top 5 once in a while
you need to reevaluate life choices if you're going for execution rankings
execution is like
rather than speed or something
"oh hey we got high/low execution haha nice"
Execution is like "speed but also did you have a pld"
I dunno execution is mainly a meme
I wish speed was more forefront really
but mostly I just care about clearing haha
and some what optimized kills after that
same
mood
I get good enough logs then I'm done and a lot of people beat me
I enjoyed optimizing Gate a bit but I also liked being able to be semi-serious with people playing what they wanted
And we were single melee with a RDM so we were never going to be able to compete
Except against ourselves I guess
I'm BLM so like I can do whatever haha
selfish jobs are so cozy for any sort of rankings
feelsexplosionman
dang
I get to see just about the lowest maxhits of any job
with my 600 potency bloodspillers
I very rarely crack 40k
Often the SCH would beat my maxhit with a broil...
tank sucks tbh
TEA is gonna be so weird with max ilvl gear
gonna have to F1/scathe the doll so much
i hate jagd dolls with a passion
Our pld confettis peoples dolls sometimes
Which causes way fewer wipes than I expect
sometimes I dcrit my high jump and geirskogul and the doll will be 30% after 2 or so gcds
I just hit the boss while dps players meme with dolls
Sounds like a fun mechanic, I'm glad I don't have to partake in it.
melee dps is the easiest role since I don't have to look at my screen until inception
I just worry about the cancerous job of covering two hits 19s apart with rampart
either that or spend invulns in p1 cus u dont need them in p2
the reprisal timings in this fight look fun and engaging
devs designing the fight so everyone has the least amount of fun possible
In TEA?
idk about later phases, but first 2 theyre pretty simple
I don't think there's anything particularly bad about reprisals
I don't even know what my cotank uses them on
I just hit every whirlwind
And firt cascade and something else I forget
on LL i just like kinda use my first reprisal on smth cus you just have it too much
pld gets first aoe and first splashes + drainage idk where to use mine really
"i guess Ill just mitigate autos and some trash damage"
pretty much
feels stupid that i stopped prog at tenstrike
but ppl wanted tea 1st cause its relevant
I don't really blame them, doing stuff back at 70 is kinda awkward and annoying, compared to level 80 stuff
still happy of our TEA prog
At least you're not my friends uwu that died at suppression cause expac
like i expected 3 digit hours to clear
but we are at last phase with half that num of hours
huh?
how?
it's kinda similar to what happened to us
if we didnt' take a pre-expansion break we almost certainly could have sped through ucob prog
but alas, we did
with new stuff then it's kinda hard to go back to old stuff, especially when you start to lose skills and such
not having xeno or 2nd poly stack are both really weird
and there's more restriction with thunder which means I mess up and suddenly have to transpose
70 drk feels like trolling
who taught its good idea to put that trait
I've been leveilng BRD and read that trait
no second aoe combo hit...
i have like 4 cds to burn as i get to WM not including procs
and i cant doubleweave
for first 10 secs
it hurt me alot in alex prime
when i have to get off as much dmg as possible before inception
Why can't you double weave
ty to my static i have to hold dps at bj+cc so our pld get HG back before alex busters before wormhole
it give you
16% speed buff
depending on your army song procs
my gcd goes from 2.46 to like 2.1
When does your pld HG first?
2.1gcd is impossible for me to doubleweave
and since its double bosses
getting 4 procs in 20 secs isnt hard
its like
imagine having army song and WM together in sametime
which is cancer tbh
Playing around procs sounds cancer no matter what
hey
thats what im dealing with atm
with dual bosses
and switching targets every 15 secs
to refresh dots
and getting those millions of procs
I wish I just had more prog hours, Im happy with how we did prog last 3 nights but we just need
more hours to actually get prog
i would play mch
but brd is just broken for 1st half of tea
also
we got the retarded NTT node acting up every few
i dont wanna play mch with lagspikes
brd in other hand i can deal with spikes
spikes on mch just ruin the entire rotation and its flow
hello. when do we get that free item that let's us fully remake our character physically?
when you finish the base game msq at 50
like, I want to change my race and everything
from the quest ultimate weapon
oh ok
ty
how do I change the company i chose?
I chose vipers by accident
I wanted to choose Flame people
You need to reach 2nd Lieutenant to be able to switch your grand company
does it even matter which is chosen?
nope
main differences is pretty much item looks and where they're located
item looks?
how do I get Orha gear?
You can see sets from each grand company in here
YoRHa is from the level 80 24-man raid.
wow
๐ฎ
do you know what name of that raid dungeon is?
do I need to do main story to get it?
The Copied Factory, and yes you need to complete the base Shadowbringers story to unlock it.
which includes the previous expansions and base game
well it's currently on a weekly lockout timer so kinda
wait, can only do that dungeon once every week?
oh ok
so if I get yorha chest piece, I have to wait next week for another one
it's RNG roll for piece? or people get one a week for sure?
unless the 24-mans have changed, there is one drop per party per boss in there, and if you collect any of that, that counts as your drop. doesn't matter if it's need or greed
once the next 24-man is released in 5.3, they'll make this one free drop
standard Need/Greed/Pass loot rules.
oh ok. I want the chest piece and pants most
it makes the set look most complete
that looks sick
someone moved to soon after gavel and killed everyone
my healers have done something similar, reset a pull by yoinking someone through the line
oh we had that
someone moved right before gavel removed debuffs
and killed 2 + himself
so we forced a wipe
during one of my groups gavel runs I ran out too early
and my nisi fell off before it was taken away and didn't reapply so we wiped
sounds like too early pass at some point
Just use tbn lol
Thatโs 33k
soon
nisi is probably the most satisfying mechanic to execute
when you're parallel parking between beta and delta trying not to wipe the raid
we killed p3 today twice and saw beta once, cause half the group didn't believe and didn't look into final word and alpha 
alpha beta yolo delta
pog
i see.
We have a tank/heal lineup and a dps lineup order
ytho
yamma*
BLUE ORANGE PURPLE GREEN
just do it fflogs strat

green blue purple orange
@nova socket we had good attempt to reach perfect again but we had super shit crit rate
so CC enrage wiped us while he had 112 hp left at triple enrage
Got to 76 and for some reason lost all interest in the game
Because youโre not at 80
Actually starting to get decent prog hours finally owo
6-11
we had that last night, for our last raid night before a real long break for the holidays
our PLD bluescreened then got hit with windows update
so we had to call it real early
our next raid day is like a week into january or something haha
we have a week off and then we go hard cus ppl dont have work
I just get a whole lot of time being a bit restless. Though it's not so unexpected, it always kinda happens this time of year and lasts for a long time. Would have been nice to clear beforehand but we had a lot of other issues causing delays and limited hours so it is what it is
just gonna hope that people aren't too rusty when we get back to things afterward
What is the best online reference guide for end-game material. Like in WoW it (was) icy veins (maybe like 2 years ago)
but something like that

yea can confirm i cant check my debuffs
alternatively, make alex suffer because he fucked your opener
Iโve yet to ever cap Phantasmagoria stones. Whatโs the fastest way to do so without being a healer?
My gear so farโs a mash of Ronkan, Eden and Yorha
roulettes
or get into a hunt linkshell and participate in trains
Am I too late to get into the end-game PvE scene, like is the expansion already ending or something? (Currently going through HeavensWard so I'm quite far away from catching up)
it's not, plus it's never too late
it's the latter half of a raid tier but it's still the first tier of the expansion, next one coming out mid-feb so you should be able to catch up and gear up a bit if you want to do savage
alright thanks
popoto salad and robe lettuce are the main two i believe
but probably best to just look at BiS for your job and see what's listed there
^
it happens
just how my cotank kills me
and uh
wipes the group
cause 30k autos turns into 40k autos
Oof
At least we saw p2 enrage, I guess
that was my groups first enrage lol
people just need to get used to movements
and optimizing their damage
I'm not sure if we even had any enrages
we even hold dps now cause we need HG ready at 2nd alexander buster
Most pulls if you're not perfect til Gavel you wipe
And then after that there's nothing to die to
whoever said ordained stillness is hardest mech
isnt joking
i mean its not hard for me
but there is always that person
( better if he is a beacon )
so he kill himself and ppl with him
lol

hope I can see perfect soon
wormhole?
Two people made it past wormhole->stack->enumeration alive lol
yea
Gotta grind it til everyone can do their number
And then probably grind more til everyone can do every number
I got 3 twice and messed up both times today feelsbad
without those freezes we would see perfect 5 times at least
someone counted and said we only have 38 hours of prog and a few days of that we had people dcing at missile command over and over
u count dc hours too

but wait 38 hours?
did you change group?
or they just dont raid much?
It's a lot less than I thought we had tbh
But we've had schedule problems
People sleeping through raid and getting banned and whatnot
And a lot of short days
oh yes iirc we had 9 hours of problems at inception because saving space for the heart prophet was hard abit

big oof
we spent a bit more time there than some people were expecting but I watched ppl who were on perfect try it when sfia released the vid and they were messing it up
on inception
we had the fun discovery of I can't do the far ball from bj then get to my spot in time to bait the south flamethrower for bj
and some time working out how to place crystals/discovering that you can intercept someone else's ball if you have a tether
This is why we met enrage plus we had people just not do damage cus they were focusing on gavel or smth idk :worry:
if I get the far one I just tbn and sit in the center
I somehow got myself good players yes
doboru rocketu PAWNCH
idk most ppls numbers are super low anyways so now that everyone knos what to do its easy
shout outs to when I called out for my ranged to get ready for super jump
and my group thought I meant to get to the edge
Our gavel strat is pepega but at least it makes super jump and rocket punch simple
๐ ๐
whm and smn got hit with double rocket punch because as I found out
it picks two random targets in front of bj
Hello
henlo
hi
that is the fresh expansion smell
^^
We put CC on the edge and the nisi line points toward the center

I think everyone does that
We've only failed LoS once when there was a traffic jam that made me move it weird but
It's super shady positioning it
Most people do it like uhh
and we line up on edge
most people do this
but yeah both work
we do this
I'm touching the wall with my character model every pull getting CC into place
ok seen til fate calibration beta
well perfect osnt hard
though beta is abit scary
Iโm loving this art
really makes you feel like you're fighting brute justice and cruise chaser
we have random clip art on our slides, for P2 BJ is voltron and CC is noah's ark, the shield is UPS shield
beautiful
what % does babby alex need to be before inception/wormhole?
Gundam LOL
here's some LL:
LOLO
Beautiful
alex slides are still in progress
i hope alex is just a clock
Surprised you didnโt use an ๐ or that Italian hand meme
Divebomb strat
@stable basin inception has to be 70%
40% recommended for wormhole
but its possible at 45
depends on your buffs really
we get inception at like 73-74 cause we only use pots then, raid buffs after inception
hm we've been around 70/45
hopefully we can make it without forcing the rdm to change job :^)
whats your comp?
my comb usually has teeth
nice
So at what point do I attempt pugging Titania/Innocence savage? Rn my ninja is 453
titania and innocence are extreme, not savage. 450 is more than enough for the fights, the drops themselves are 450 so you're already overgearing the fights a bit at that ilvl
Yeah it should be a walk in the park
titania and innocence supposed to be done at i430
so yeah you are overgearing it by being i450 or higher

Discussion above 
Do I have to join a new FC to join a static? What are my other options?
not at all
majority of statics are not FC-driven, but just do general recruitment. Being in the same FC can be handy (put raid food/pots in FC chest, for example), but it's plenty fine to be in a different static than your fellow FC members, and it's not a particularly rare thing
@nova socket I heard something happened with your static
oh, that clip
that's hot
I mean it's super public cus fox flamed him in erc and someone posted the clip there as well so lol
we trialed the guy like 3 weeks ago kinda dodged a bullet i guess 
he might have problems getting another static now
it be like dat in eu
Lmao
Getting roasted though
you probably should not post that
not really supposed to name names or anything like that
^
Spill the tea I got here late
dragoon ditches static raid for e3s sale
becomes Excommunicated Member Of the Month From Eu Raid Communityโข๏ธ
I found a hard content respector

how much dps would hypothetically be needed to see p3 titan at <20%
i managed a 5% enrage wipe in week 32984u23
i didnt try after 5.1
which could be good 90k
and start P3 at 8%
or so
imagine still doing E4S?
find one
gotta farm gear next week spearya
so i can finally live the warrior main life i wanted

wormhole is a fun mechanic
there's an overwhelming sense of anxiety when im standing there doing nothing
when i think i should be doing something
Perfect alex is a meme
he is still abit harder than gold bahamut
FINAL FANTASYยฎ XIV: A Realm Rebornโข
https://store.playstation.com/#!/en-sa/tid=CUSA00285_00
memes aside perfect does have more than literally one mechanic
It's just nowhere near Ultima or Adds+Golden
fate calibration Beta is abit tough at start
you have to pay attention to alot of shit
alpha is simple til u get double stillness and someone decided to move
lol
just hope you are light or dark beacon at beta so u do nothing
light follower also got nothing to do
its dark runner that have to do 1 of 3 different mechanics
at least we did every wormhole but 1 perfectly yesterday
ok i learnt my lesson
ordained stillness will kill you even if you are caught mid skill animation
and did nothing after
ty refulgent arrow for your 3 secs animation
Yeah stillness / motion can be very picky
Wait did you happen to auto during the animation perhaps?
for SAM what top1 ger is whit substats det or crit?
What are you asking? What gear has DET and CRIT or asking if DET or CRIT is better?
what is better
DET and CRT are pretty much on par with each other for damage output
Just depends whether your gear will allow you meld either or
!faq substats
The difference between each substat's effect on output is very small. For example, if you had +2000 DET/+0 DH from gear, switching to +0 DET/+2000 DH would be a 0.52% damage gain. At 12,000 DPS, that would take you to 12,062 DPSโa difference you couldn't detect by eyeballing your logs and one that, in most cases, wouldn't shift you even a single percentile point in performance.
In fact, this difference is so small that with the considerable damage variance in the game (+/- 5% RNG, crit/dh rates), we would not even know it exists had we not reverse engineered the exact damage formula!
But what's the point of BIS then!?
Optimizing our damage is desirable, and changing gear or melds is a free and easy way to make minor gains. The idea is simply to highlight that blaming your substat spread is not an alternative to the pursuit of personal growth. It is an excuse that will only serve to hold you back.
Focus on your uptime and rotation instead!
idk where else to put this but is this fit obtainable
@tame plinth no i didnt since i untarget at half the castbar but i was mid refulgent animation even while doing nothing it killed me cause im still doing something even if im stuck mid long animation
hope that means the crappy lagspikes at limitcut and wormhole will finally die
Saw THE BOI today
Hopefully we can be perfect legends in year of our lord two thousand onescore minus one
gz binch
this is how you play healer, right?
Yes
Yes
Yes
Yes
Yes
Idk
Yes
they're not dead so yes
See above
No. This looks to be lvl 50, and thereโs no need to cut it that fine then. No enrage, and they melt fast enough then. The fight wonโt be long enough to where missing extra gcds matters.
You're right, there's no enrage in pvp
Thereโs no reason to dps as a healer then, though. Hard enough to even keep them alive
dpsing as a healer is always welcomed
speeds up the fight
and prevents unnecessary aggro generation
Around 70-85% of every fight is downtime for a healer
If you arenโt DPSing what are you doing
The only HP that matters on someone is the last one
when you go to jail before your dancer
kill it
when
at busters before trines
Imagine dying to ordained capital punishment followed up by ordained punishment
which should really be the other way around imo
yoinks
alright i think you should just kill it honestly
tomorrow hopefully
absolute unit
So close
4% enrage then 4% enrage then 2% enrage
all 3 enrages had 2 deaths
going again for 2 hours
hopefully clear
the 3rd one was clear if no one died
just do more dps
nice
ty to certain pld im one of worst 4 brds in TEA
cause i have to respect bj+cc last 10% so he get HG at alex
now do the other two
other 2?
ultimates
i will go back to ucob
but next week
we doing another clear next reset
then back to coil i guess?
finally down after 77 prog hours
FINAL FANTASYยฎ XIV: A Realm Rebornโข
https://store.playstation.com/#!/en-sa/tid=CUSA00285_00
nice
@foggy latch i see you followed my suggestion to kill it
swapping jails?
lol
you would've also gotten a better parse spamming your aoes in phase 1 and 2
quick nock and rain of death padding is no joke
i would hold at bj+cc after all
so i didnt bother
for 25 secs
which will kill my parse anyway
despite im 1 of worst 4 brds in TEA
my ASP is still purple
guess dps difference isnt that big
Thereโs this for the opener. https://i.imgur.com/uEnxluT.png
we're making our brd go into the baby cage early
if we can ever make it back to perfect
I feel bad for ranged
brd gets to experience bliss for like 6 minutes
then it all goes to shit
we're going uhh sch-whm-drk-brd-pld-rdm-mnk-drg I think
why brd then pld
cause brds arent real people
percentile plus the ratio of your damage to the gold parse multiplied by 20

there's a different formula I forget that I think is just the ratio for all 120 points that's applied sometimes but idk when
I just unga bunga and look at my %
asp is weird
I was like 1k behind the top parse or smth , thats what holding + playing unoptimally in LL for maintaining push timings does
I only look at it as a metric for combining multiple fights
no smn definitely hurts but we're still smashing dps checks
smn getting buffed in time to become an ape job
we'd be smashing them so much harder with smn tho
What part are you at now
theoretically we're at fcb
but we've only seen perfect twice and not in the last two days xd
We cleared (((fairly))) comfily with mnk brd dnc smn war pld sch whm and the mnk died in perfect too so shouldnt be a problem
that's pretty hot
Happens, we had a lot of meme days where we didnt see shit
Then came back after the xmas break and saw perfect a lot
people sayin any pull can clear but that's what I heard before I watched people eat exaflares in 16 consecutive golden pulls

that's even hotter
Breaks do wonders
16 consecutive golden pulls
imagine wiping on golden 16 times
We did like 1,5h of pulls today had pepega moments in perfect, took a 10 min break and it was like the 2nd or 3rd pull after that
by the time we cleared I wasn't even nervous any more, just like can we pleeeease
In one of our reclears we managed to kill it with nin dying to first exa 
Yeah i was still fairly nervous cuz wasnt sure are we actually clearing that pull but listening to random music from spotify instead of the actual BGM helped 
because nin weren't real people in sb
Golden music especially is fucking tense lol
Golden music makes it better
People advised to turn off bgm for it cause it's too intense
mash buttons harder
But no way was I gonna do that lol
only the weak hide from the BGM
I do not miss that
the second loop of answers hits different
because you've gotten past 80% of the mechanics in the fight
I like nael cause I hit shadow wall when the man started singing loudly
Yeah
I watched a bit of the eorzean symphony concert live recording and the answers bit was real shit
After fellruin when sad lady asks why we gotta die while Bahamut casts Flatten ๐
But man i got tired of the TEA music at some point except bj cc
tea is by far the best p1 to hear forever while you talk about strategy
Yea locus fucking sucks but i especially like the transition
How the music starts and bj smashes you perfectly on sync
The sound of living shadow is part of the bj+cc music for me now
Cant say anything about garuda never went to uwu
garuda is the same guitar riff over and over
It sounds like an ok BGM from what ive listened to it, obviously it'll get boring after countless wipes
N O W F A L L
honestly I've just used the xlbgmset command with the xivlauncher so I don't have to listen to locus
Can you change your own musics to instances with it?
If I listen to primals garuda theme I can hear all the shrieks
Same with ultima theme
Garuda screech asmr
I like the ultima one i listen to it sometimes
Ultima theme lines up so well with the fight
Goes crazy during suppression then quiets down and pulses right as tank purge hits
Im gonna replace locus with the ayaya 10h version so i can lose more braincells with every wipe

Then goes nuts again for ultima cast
Welp hopefully i'll get to see that soon enough
Gotta beat up ol dragon daddy first

It kinda varies i guess, i think the blm one is great
tea weapons I'm sure clash less too
I like the smn book honestly from tea, but the drk and war weapons are probably my favorite
And the rdm one is cool
!itemglam ultimate ukonvasara
Terrible angle
Lego blade

it's so bad that it becomes art
the best ultimate katana
I miss Vit melds
i got kicked because the drk killed himself and left
guess im done trying to parse e4s today
trying to parse e4s in pugs is doomed
I'm so mad my recording of my turbolag wormhole didn't work
moving back to the cardinal before I even saw CC appear for my cleave
and somehow all worked out
Yea those instances are cursed sometimes
You just gotta trust ur gut feeling about the timings based on past experiences and hope it works out 
compared our perfect to best brd there
im 700 dps behind him
given its the only phase i dont hold dps
@stable basin outburst is for 3+ targets btw i see youre trying to pad pn the adds 
Or is that for something else, at least the logo is for outburst in that xiva report
yeah that's exactly what that was for lol
Just use phoenix there
Respecting mechanics :worry:
for drk , augm deepshadow or edengrace for helmet? because i see ppl saying deepshadow is BiS
deepshadow
for the crit?
that and probably works out the best to maximize stat tiering
BiS lists
๐ถ **Which BiS should I pick? **
๐ฆ Before picking your BiS make sure you're able to hit 5 GCDs in Blood Weapon consistently at that GCD. 2.43 is theoretically highest dps but if it causes you to miss a GCD every time it will definitely be worse and you should use a faster set.
Keep in mind that faster GCDs can be better in specific fights to get GCDs off before a mechanic/downtime happen (such as Titania where you need ~2.38 to get your second opener souleater off before running out), which can result in them being better than slow GCDs. Calculators assume full uptime on a set duration which isn't going to be a realistic measurement for what skill speed actually provides.
Prioritize whatever GCD is comfortable for you, if you don't like 2.43 don't use it, damage difference between sets is negligible.
2.43
http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/1A660
Highest theoretical dps set at the expense of being very slow with super tight BW windows.
2.41
https://ffxiv.ariyala.com/1BDO9
Middle ground set between 2.43 and 2.38, only 23 less theoretical dps than 2.43 but more comfortable BW windows.
2.4
https://ffxiv.ariyala.com/1AVZK
Another middle ground option.
2.38
http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/19R4J
Same gear as 2.4 with sks melds in weapon and using popoto salad as food instead. Very comfy BW windows. Slightly lower theoretical dps than other sets, only around a 0.5% loss compared to 2.43.
2.32
https://ffxiv.ariyala.com/1ASWP
Sanic build by Emiin for those wanting to be very fast. Around 140 dps less than 2.43 set on average.
Ultimate Prog Sets
2.4 EXTRA THICC 3,146 tenacity
http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/1A74Z
2.38 3,068 tenacity
https://ffxiv.ariyala.com/1BCMA
Good set if you plan to prog ultimate and want some extra defense, but not ideal for general use. Around 6% higher passive mitigation and 3% worse dps than the 2.43 set.
2.43 is a cursed gcd
When people say "Pug strats" in Hades PFs, do they want tanks/healers in and DPS out for Universal Manipulation?
yes
