I also got Titty's on my first clear

I know ironmen who spend literally thousands of hours

#

@nova socket I've played OSRS since it was RuneScape classic

#

Congrats to you

#

Juicy rng

#

Now go kill corp :)

tough gorge
#

is there a macro for SoS EX? I can't find one online and I wanna be prepared

#

also for add phase, who should be on tower and stacks? bc some videos I've seen are a bit conflicting

foggy latch
#

there are many

#

in my 99 clears

#

i saw like 6 different macros

tough gorge
#

I'm used to TH taking stack and then bahamuts, and DPS on tower

foggy latch
#

there are 2 strats for adds

#

make tank+heal do stack+tether
dps flare + tower
or
make tank+melee do flare + tower
healer+ranger do stack + tether

#

one is uptime to melee and tank

#

the other make it braindead to roles

#

seat of sacrifice has as many macros as tsuukiyomi EX back then for meteors

#

every damn pf maker has his own special strat for mechanics

fierce bobcat
#

For Furor Savage, if we are doing soccer uptime, during rakta phase if I'm soaking the actual tankbuster should I still survive even with the vulnerability stack? I'm pretty sure I popped sentinel + shelltron but still got killed. Is this more of a gearing thing since i am ilvl 480?

frozen portal
#

Any UWU pro here?, is it recommended to use flamethrower at garuda adds?

mortal stone
#

@fierce bobcat possibly a gearing thing. I’m i498 and I can do uptime soccer and still take the buster

#

Uptime strats like that where you deliberately disrespect a mechanic typically account for having better gear

#

I would play around with your cds and figure out what works for you

#

I like saving invuln for conflag but if you need it there, do it. Tornadoes can be taken with cds as long as your healers are aware

nimble latch
#

What's the endgame content like in FFXIV? I'm considering swapping from WoW to FFXIV, but that's predicated on the mileage of the endgame

fierce bobcat
#

essentially what you choose, theres crafting, glamour/transmog, raiding savage tiers, etc

nimble latch
#

How much replayability is there to raiding?

#

And does 4 man content remain relevant toward lategame, or does it fall by the wayside in favour of 8 or 24 man raids?

#

(I think those are the two raid sizes?)

teal plinth
#

4-man dungeon gear is always just catchup gear.

#

Also, 24-man raids only have one difficulty, it's not difficult or anything, and it doesn't give BiS gear

#

The main raiding content is all 8-man

#

BiS gear is always a mix of Savage raid gear and capped tomestone gear

#

Capped tomestones are something you get by doing just about anything at endgame, but you can only get a set amount per week

#

you also need to upgrade said capped tomestone gear with upgrade items from Savage raids

#

which become available through other means later in the tier

#

Also some find this very little, but we only get four 10~ minute fights per tier, and tiers last around 7 months

#

We also sometimes get one Ultimate raid halfway through a tier which are 16min+ boss gauntlets with extremely unforgiving mechanics and only cosmetic rewards

nimble latch
#

How many tiers per expansion?

lyric summit
#

3

nimble latch
#

Four 10 minute long boss fights per tier is fine, as long as there's an incentive to reclear it through the tier rather than just clearing it once and being done with it

#

We're on tier 2 of 3 for ShB, right?

lyric summit
#

yeah

nimble latch
#

And is there any content akin to mythic plus (recleared just for the challenge, infinitely scaling so teams push as high as they can)

lyric summit
#

nope, there's only really not-that-hard-overall savage and hard af ultimate that can take months of prog for competent groups

nimble latch
#

Ultimate sounds like my kind of jam honestly

#

How often are Ultimate raids added?

lyric summit
#

rarely cause it's content for just the top 1-2% really, so it's not very high priority unfortunately

#

2 per expansion, stormblood it was 4.15 and 4.35, now it's 5.15 and probably 5.55

nimble latch
#

Is 5.4 not adding a new raid?

lyric summit
#

new savage tier yeah

nimble latch
lyric summit
#

for relevancy in gear etc then puppets' bunker, trials 2, eden's verse

#

for challenge eden's verse (ish) and all ultimates

nimble latch
#

Old ultimates remain relevant going forward?

#

That's neat

lyric summit
#

they're not exactly as challenging as on release but they're still difficult to prog yeah

nimble latch
foggy latch
#

@frozen portal they wont last long enough to maximize its effect

nimble latch
#

Are bosses infinitely repeatable?

lyric summit
#

yeah, only loot is timegated

foggy latch
#

it helps when you are trying to get good logs

#

and not interested in loot

#

also helping groups clear by some bored raiders

#

for off tanking how should i manage my tank stance?

#

should I leave it off before tank swap? or should I leave it on most fight but give tank a buffer

nova socket
#

depends

torn kindle
#

If the fight has a mechanic that targets the 2nd highest person on the enmity list then you generally want to leave the stance on

#

Though if you do proper swaps with shirk you generally don’t ever need to take your stance off

stable basin
#

i just keep it off until tank buster cast starts

#

then its tank stance > provoke which seems to work

pallid vigil
#

I just do it after my opener somewhere if I do not need to be 2nd aggro for anything

sinful brook
#

Its also dependent on gear difference. If you're ot and you outgear mt you could rip aggro off them by accident just by doing more damage than them

Hmmm, any phase specific WHM tips for TEA BJ/CC? When do y'all asylum?

I'm actually casting Asylum + Temperance right after Limit Cut to cover 3rd Water/Thunder + Flarethrower + Whirlwind 🤔

But makes me wonder if there's a better management

stable basin
#

Our WHM used it for:

  • Splashes+tank tethers in LL
  • 3rd stacks/flarethrower+whirlwind
  • Triple enrage
  • Optical Sight after Final Word
  • First irresistible grace
#

"It" being asylum~

knotty jasper
#

Oh good then, I'm using it at the same time - for what we progged so far

stable basin
#

Yea that seems like a big value spot

#

IIRC I wanted to missionary there too but our strat didn't lend itself to hitting everyone with it

knotty jasper
#

Hmmm, we have Asylum + Reprisal + Addle for splashes into Cascade 2, it's comfy mitigation

stable basin
#

Worth noting that we invulned the drainage tethers so we didn't have the tanks adding mitigation there

#

So if p1 is comfy for you keep doing what works

knotty jasper
#

Oh no we bait far then have GNB bolide to take a double tankbuster cleave

#

It's comfy, just need more prac on BJ/CC lol

#

Almost made it to Alex Prime, almost.

kind schooner
#

had pf group for seat of sacrifice do uptime strat where rdps soak stack marker and tanks+mdps go to tower and then rdps+healer take dragon marks, proceed to wipe twice to that phase lol

#

idk why people dont just roll with the safe known methods esp if you cant pull off the other one

foggy latch
#

well its pf leader strat

#

if people cant do it just dont join?

#

but what you expect from pf mushy brains?

quick verge
#

what am I looking at

foggy latch
#

all savage fights have orange+

mystic basin
#

because pf strats are often hot garbage for worse uptime and not even safer than uptime. case in point: ilya for e8s and dps meteors for wol

steep iris
#

imagine parsing in 5.3

tough gorge
#

what does 4231 braindead refer to in e7s?

dull radish
#

two separate mechanics

#

4231 is for dps for betwixt world. You have the four things at north that tether to dps. The number refers to the order that dps go with their tether--dps with the far right tether (4th) goes to the northwest. Then 2 and 3 go straight down the lanes in the center, And the person with the far left tether (1st) takes it to the northeast

#

braindead refers to the unjoined aspect + portals mechanic later in the fight. Instead of spreading out to not overlap AoEs during that mechanic, you can instead stack everyone with the same color together with a bit of mitigation, so you only have to deal with two squares

olive hearth
#

My static has been using 4231 and I never knew that was the name

#

Nice

sinful brook
#

Were too stupid to not follow diagrams aza you have to consider that

regal quarry
#

so how hard/easy is doing the raids for blue mages mount?

royal rover
#

hey guys, just wondering how hard are savage raids compared to normal raids. i just completed eden's verse normal and they dont seem too hard. i also have full il490 augmented neo-isgardian gear except for trinkets

nova socket
#

Normal mode fights you easily 1-shot blind, savage fights usually take multiple hours to learn, some even days depending on the group

uncut gate
#

if you haven't done extremes yet, try those first

fleet coral
#

What's a good way to get into endgame content? I always reach this point in MMOs where I can never find a FC/Guild or become part of a static group. It's a real bummer.

unborn panther
#

Just make your own

stable basin
#

Comes down to networking, which there's no easy trick for

#

Probably just pug a lot, join community pug discords, hop in and do content whenever and hope you can hit it off with some decent people

#

Recruitment sections here and in other discords

#

Also some people network by being PF mercenaries, just joining whenever they see 7/8 static needs fill PFs which sometimes ends up being permanent

royal rover
#

so i m assuming extreme trials are like a stepping stone to savage raids?

#

and savage raids are the hardest content available right now?

lyric summit
#

ultimate is harder but yeah

#

you could say savage is the hardest content you can pug

royal rover
#

hmm ok, so uh, is the anything i should know about pugging savage raids

#

apart from watching video for the fight beforehand, ofcourse

#

like i dont know how punishing those fights are, but i would prefer to not wipe the entire group becaues of my mistake, etc

wheat marsh
#

i mean on certain extremes you can do that. savage is even moreso

#

depends on what it is, and when

lyric summit
#

a video is usually not enough for most fights, so join a practice/kill party first so you can learn the fight properly

subtle bone
#

You’ll cause wipes often, part of the learning experience

wheat marsh
#

any news if they are going to alter shiva unreal or not? not really invested in the rewards, just wondering if anyones heard one way or the other

lyric summit
#

why would they alter it

wheat marsh
#

heard it elsewhere that there's been negative community feedback that its a little tighter than the original min ilev fight, around 8-11 seconds shorter to enrage?

#

if you go down the reddit hole it usually ends up in a casual vs hardcore debate that pretty much gives little insight

foggy latch
#

the main point of unreal is so you do the fight the way it was intended back when it was relevant

#

while im against the idea of ilvl sync

#

but guess SE wants that

wheat marsh
#

supposedly people crunched numbers and its 8-11 seconds shorter based on the math than if you min ilev the 50 ex

foggy latch
#

shorter??

wheat marsh
#

to enrage

foggy latch
#

she enrage at 11 stacks

#

thats all i know

#

been that way in ARR too

wheat marsh
#

when you calculate theoretical dps to hp pool, min ilev 50 ex is supposedly 8-11 extra seconds of uptime til enrage compared to the unreal, if thats all correct math

foggy latch
#

back then we had instance speed issue

#

so some instances make fight faster or slower

#

10 secs isnt really the problem

#

its ppl who dont even pullbtheir weight

#

even with my static has all orange players

#

we barely kill her right before 10th stack

#

so about 70 secs before enrage

wheat marsh
#

group i was with kept getting to about 4-6% enrage

foggy latch
#

its basically EX fight

#

with savage level dps check

wheat marsh
#

raid static isn't the best comparison to people completing something that's supposed to be a theoretical dual weekly award though, IMO

foggy latch
#

add to it

#

u cant duty complete

#

when pfing

#

the rewards require alot of grinding for not worth the effort

wheat marsh
#

i mean i wouldnt be surprised if its a mostly dead thing considering the rewards for effort

foggy latch
#

unreal system was good idea on paper

#

but the inplementation was shit as usual from SE

stable basin
#

If you're looking at just min ilvl ex then I would be absolutely shocked if unreal weren't tighter

#

Is unreal tighter than actually doing it at level 50 tho

#

is the real question

foggy latch
#

idk

#

i was i110 when i did it at lv50

stable basin
#

andb y doing it at 50 I mean during ARR

foggy latch
#

so i was 15 ilvls ahead entry

stable basin
#

cuz like

#

I did min ilvl A3S to prep for TEA

#

And we absolutely demolished it

wheat marsh
#

if people that crunched ACT numbers are correct, there's 8-11 more seconds of uptime at min ilev 50 ex considering damage ceilings vs hp pool and mechanics downtime

stable basin
#

We were skipping things most people with BiS probably didn't skip back then

wheat marsh
#

and party composition bonus

stable basin
#

You do absurdly more dmg at min ilvl than you used to do when that ilvl was max

foggy latch
#

remember pile

#

we had actually big brain rotations

#

back then

#

now u do same dps without really thinking

#

healers couldnt really dps then too

stable basin
#

If you only lose 8 seconds of uptime vs doing min ilvl shiva ex then unreal dps check must be way way looser than shiva ex during ARR

foggy latch
#

cause acc memes

#

and no dhit or dcrit

#

dps check is fine as it is

#

ilvl sync is the issue

#

should be 10/20 higher

wheat marsh
#

in terms of average percentage, if it's 20k raidwide minimum to clear min ilev shiva ex, if its 5% more intense on unreal due to the new skills, you'd need 21k raidwide on min ilev Shiva ex to clear shiva unreal. dunno the actual numbers, but that's the theory ACT crunchers are at supposedly.

#

thats going to impact the more casual people trying to get clears compared to your typical ex/sav/ult raid groups or seasoned PF EX clearers. its just that there's no way to weed out players outside of gear level, though i have 490+ gear and havent completed an EX without echo and havent cleared savage, so one person with low output can ruin 4-5 experienced raid players

foggy latch
#

i looked on my shiva EX vid

#

her aoe do 1500 dmg on my 7k tank

#

and we have

#

120k hp?

#

and it does about 30k on me

#

but i was i110

#

so i had the extra defense

#

so yea it kinda hit

#

tiny bit harder in unreal

wheat marsh
#

20x damage from 1500ish to 30k-ish, but 7k-ish would be 140k-ish, at 120k-ish? 16-17% difference, dunno about all the other calculation differences behind the scenes

foggy latch
#

i wont say they are 100% correct on it

#

but well

#

they nailed it super close to perfect

wheat marsh
#

granted that also doesnt account for a lot of other things in calculations we'd probably need same group, gear, and parses from

foggy latch
#

the bigger problem in it

#

is the fact they made her still keep doing crit autos

#

we could have cancel that with awareness

#

but that doesnt exist + they deleted both awareness + crits from ShB bosses

#

bow at 10 stacks is super brutal now

#

than before

#

when she land 45k crit auto on you

#

with cds

#

and bow has higher chance to crit too

wheat marsh
#

idk it'd be interesting to see % of players attempting, % of attempts clearing, especially with it being past first week.

foggy latch
#

i dont think there is any real way to track that

wheat marsh
#

would also be better if it had some drop rewards from clearing as well as the faux tokens

foggy latch
#

given she dont even give acheivement on clear

wheat marsh
#

then it would be more like an old EX brought up to 80 sync

foggy latch
#

which appears as why we dont have duty complete

#

as game has no way to track if you cleared it or no

wheat marsh
#

they could have set it to DF only - no preformed parties. THAT would have been a zoo

sinful brook
#

I think its just super unfortunate how long it'll take to get any rewards if you're unlucky with the minigame

#

Would be nice to have rhe fight itself award stuff when you have a retelling or are doing it for the first time that week

#

As it stands right now I have 85/1000 leaves after 3 weeks

#

Its gonna take me 20 something weeks at this pace for just the mount

wheat marsh
#

i mean i never get into groups that clear EX content so it was dead to me before it released

#

Aether may have good statics but outside of that its stinky raid PFs

#

maybe you get lucky gettin 4 people from a static wanting to clear something

foggy latch
#

i got 30 week 1

#

and was like fuck it

#

when i saw stuff prices

stable basin
#

question i have my first level 80 so as for equips i start with Neo Ishgardian?

If you want to skip all the gear grinding from i430 to i480, then yes.

@torn kindle thanks!

#

what do you grind at 480 for gear

teal plinth
#

upgrade neo ishgardian to 490 using Phantasmagoria mats

#

cap your allegory tomestones weekly

#

buy allegory gear

#

upgrade it with the weekly upgrade you get from puppet's bunker

fleet coral
#

What's the strat for after you hit lvl50 in crafting classes? I feel like I hit a wall. Should I level up the other MoH jobs to compliment them with crafted gear or just buy them with gil?

At 480 you can easily get into savage

stable basin
#

ok thanks a bunch

unborn panther
#

Guys how hard are the ultimates compared to e8s?

#

Shiva was a 2 day prog, then clear for me when i did it 1st time but my current static is struggling extremely hard. I wanna know if its worth to keep trying and later go for ultimates with them

#

Cause rn i rly cant tell anymore

stable basin
#

Ultimates are quite a bit harder but like the gap between E8S and UWU rn isn't worlds away

#

Difficulty is pretty hard to quantify but I'll go back to the old standard estimate of ~30 hours for a week 1 savage group to clear the tier and 60~100 hours for a fresh group to clear an ultimate

#

That's with savage having a much tougher dps check so mechanically ultimates are quite a bit more demanding

unborn panther
#

well we're 10h into shiva and got past adds once

stable basin
#

that is... not a good sign

foggy latch
#

10 hours for just past adds is a lot

odd stream
#

anyone who heals in SoS EX?

#

ive had a hard time keeping up consistently with thhe damage in the add phase

#

do i just spam gcd heals

torn kindle
#

I like popping my mitigation stuff like Seraph and Temperance for the add phase.

foggy latch
#

i pop asylum and temperance

#

along with regen on tank

#

and i use my 3 lilies at both flares and stacks

#

after bahamuts i completely stop healing

#

and go full dps mode

#

drop bene on tank

#

if i say that extra buster coming

odd stream
#

and thhe tank should mitigate the adds correctly right

foggy latch
#

i met alot of tanks who dont use cds at add autos

#

and end up with 5 digit hp at buster

#

so i have bene rdy in case

odd stream
#

the adds hurt a lot in my experience

foggy latch
#

not really?

#

even my i480 whm heal it fine

#

unless the tank doesnt stunn berserk

odd stream
#

in my experience tanks drop fast maybe because they're not mitigating it

foggy latch
#

silence*

#

then he gonna eat 140k autos

#

which happens alot in prog

#

but idk

odd stream
#

maybe i should practice my whm in farm parties to have better tanks

foggy latch
#

other healers should have easier time to heal adds

#

than whm

#

since most their aoe heals are cds

#

and easier time healing tanks with almost no gcd healing

odd stream
#

lily is a damage gcd with an aoe heal attached

foggy latch
#

its still 100 potency loss per usage

odd stream
#

well sch needs to use ruin ii which is 60 potency loss to weave in ogcd heals

foggy latch
#

can weave when you reapply dot

#

so u dont lose as much

#

since u want to dot both adds

uncut gate
#

in my experience tanks drop fast maybe because they're not mitigating it
@odd stream Tank will be hit with by at least two tank buster, and like Triple mentioned there's a DMG Up that needs to be silenced

odd stream
#

its just baad tanks i was practicing witth i noticed

#

i went in to a farm run

#

and it was fine i noticed

uncut gate
#

Yeah

#

Sounds about right

runic brook
#

Any tips for starting savage raids? Other than researching mechanics of course

teal plinth
#

The move Shiva does after switching to Bow, Glass Dance, does that always face the main tank or someone at random

#

cause I could've sworn it was random but had someone in this party arguing that she always faces MT with it

uncut gate
#

MT pretty sure, because I can bait it if i just eat the circle aoe 100% of the time

#

i'm not sure if it's technically MT or just whichever direction she happens to be facing at time of snapshot (which would be where the MT was)

foggy latch
#

its faced toward MT the moment it snapshot at that position

#

totally baitable toward north always but require tank eating the vulnerable stack

iron hawk
#

another shiva question

#

if it stays on "your" weapon as a tank, do you swap? or do you just stay on her

torn kindle
#

Stay on her

@torn kindle thanks for the tip ty senpai

strong fiber
#

Damn Shiva unreal is more difficult than MM EX. That dps check for shiva is wild

zenith ravine
#

people available to farm memoria misera ex glam?

sinful brook
#

The dps check isn't awful, but coordination on pugs can reduce overall dps

#

And things like lack of rotational knowledge

foggy latch
#

shiva unreal is close to savage level in terms of dps check

#

ty for ilvl sync there is a limit on how your skilled play can carry baddies let alone those who die

hard to tell when you cut off the names of the secondaries but either way no, mainstat wins

lower ilvl only has any chance whatsoever at being better when it has a lot more secondaries than normal, like 5 materia slot i480 idealized beat some 490 pieces, but that's not the case here

hello im not sure if this is the riight sub channel for this question, but i was wondering how exactly does end game armors/weapons drop? or rather obtained? my only other mmorpg experience is from wow ( which i only played until level 37) and based from i read on both final fantasy online and wow, armors are dropped in dungeons or crafted?

lyric summit
#

there's a lot of different sources, for most of leveling the main scenario quests give a lot of gear good enough to progress, starting at 50 you're able to get a "allagan tomes of poetics" currency from doing level 50 (or non-leveling 50/60/70) content and buy better leveling gear from vendors with that currency, quest rewards or dungeon drops for 51-59 again, poetics for lvl 60, quests/dungeons 61-69, poetics for 70, quests/dungeons 71-79, and at 80 there's separate currencies meant for endgame obtained from level 80 content, one is unlimited for ok-ish gear, one's weekly capped for higher item level gear, plus gear drops from different endgame raids, dungeons, weapons from extreme trials

Hey very simple question about FCs. How do I assign what rank people get when they join the FC. It keeps giving them one of the officer roles

torn kindle
#

@calm geyser the rank that has the icon of a spiked ball is the default rank that players are assigned to when they join.

calm geyser
#

Hmm

#

Is there any way to change that

#

or assign a different rank to that spike ball

torn kindle
#

From what I’m reading, no. Though the threads I’m finding are very old

#

You’ll just have to swap the privileges and names of the two ranks to resolve it.

calm geyser
#

Hmm Gotcha

#

Thanks

How long did it take you peeps to find a Static where you feel comfortable and good? yoshiPain

Hello everyone

I'm on static number 1 and I did most of the "recruitment" work

Is this bad for the newest extreme ? Keep in mind not fully melded nor using food or pots. Had 10 seconds left

Why Stone, Sky, Sea is a bad metric to measure DPS
  1. SSS does not account for a job’s RDPS contribution via skills like Battle Voice
  2. SSS is a 3 minute burst window where you adjust your rotation to fit in that period and does not reflect a realistic raid scenario
  3. Different jobs will be in peaks and troughs of their burst windows
  4. Different jobs have different SSS dps requirements
  5. SSS is not accurately tuned for the jobs they are supposed to represent in most cases
  6. 3 minutes is short enough to be able to be affected by lucky DH Crit bursts
  7. Certain jobs gain dps by having additional party members like Dancer/Monk
sinful brook
#

That said if you kill the dummy you're probably fine

#

The combined check for sosex is like 70k?

lyric summit
#

if you're in i490 gear and cant kill a dummy for an extreme then you're prob doing something wrong tho

sinful brook
#

So you're a tad low as a dps player

#

They usually clock in at about 14k on average play

#

That number would be fine as a tank or healer though

foggy latch
#

depends on ilvl

#

9900 dps as dnc is low on dummy

#

even for i470

#

even without accounting rdps gain by partner and buffs alongvwith procs

slim swallow
#

I think I’m i483? I need to do it again with pots and fully melded with dancer food. I’m sure I’ll hit it then

foggy latch
#

at i483

#

u should be pulling closer to 12000 dps

lyric summit
#

are you using standard step on cooldown or when the buff runs out

slim swallow
#

On cool down o.o is that wrong

lyric summit
#

no thats good

slim swallow
#

Ok lol I used to do it closer to the buff running out but then I noticed if I do it on cool down I can do it I think 3 or 4 times before technical step and the skill that boosts crit rate for yourself and dance partner come off cd

#

But I get confused on the order of technical and that skill, which goes first, I’m worried that if I do the self and dance partner crit buff first it won’t boost the technical step when it initially hits

lyric summit
#

standard at -15s, finish at 0, tech at 1s, finish, flourish, gcd, devilment+fd3 -> press glowing buttons and everything on cooldown

slim swallow

Thank you @lyric summit you da bes 🙂

What rewards does the Extreme version of the new trial give?

torn kindle
#

i495 weapons and the regular mount/crafting material/orchestrion roll

unborn panther
#

The weapons are actually stupidly strong for some jobs

sage berry
#

Basically i think its Edenchoir>Aug-Crystarium>WoL EX>Reg-Crystarium now?

stable basin
#

by ilvl yea

#

relic also about on par with reg crystarium, better for a few jobs at least I think

sage berry
#

Gotta wait for Bozja and see what the ilvl on it is gonna be

#

Prob 495

torn kindle
#

Yeah either 495 or 500

stable basin
#

prolly 495 because they don't like giving us useful stuff

sage berry
#

495 since current relic is 485 which is equal to ruby

stable basin
#

then again the 485 relic is super good

sage berry
#

always gonna be worse than raid gear

stable basin
#

yeah

#

but it makes base tome (even more) obsolete

sage berry
#

Isn't that what normally happens?

#

Plus unless you're doing Savage you don't really care about ilvl that much

stable basin
#

tome weapons are really awful in general and probably need some sort of update

#

this relic step is crazy convenient tho

sage berry
#

honestly tome weps are stepping stones

#

even aug tome weps

steep iris
#

aug tome is actually bis for ast and sch iirc

sage berry
#

uh

#

huh*

steep iris
#

but it's not much higher than raid wep

#

sage berry
#

stable basin
#

Aside from healers cuz lol piety tome weapons have the problem of being really bad stepping stones

sage berry
#

WAR gets Crit Det on Tome

#

while DRK gets Tenacity

#

ughhhh

#

:puke:

stable basin
#

The tiny ilvl bump over EX would only be worth it to the kind of people who aren't lining up to dump 1k tomes on a throwaway weapon

sage berry
#

Huh you can't buy esters with puppet coins

#

Gotta do E7s again

steady pebble
#

esters will most likely be added to coins when they unlock savage

#

Generally, the weapon augment item is added to 24man tokens at a later date

sage berry
#

they unlock the current tier when the next tier arrive right?

steady pebble
#

in the past, yes. but they've unlocked savage sooner than that

#

and since 5.3 was delayed, they mentioned they're going to unlock it sooner than usual

foggy latch
#

esters wont be added til 5.38 by puppet coin

#

so much after savage unlock

#

which with either happen tomorrow or 5.35

sage otter
#

How hard is to get a pf for savage prog this late on patch? I wanted to clear this tier but just unlocked

sinful brook
#

I don't think its undoable but understand were like 30 weeks into the tier. The people who haven't cleared likely won't or are people in late starting groups

#

It definitely is a your mileage may vary kinda deal

I would say put up some party finders and see how you learn

What are squadrons

olive hearth
#

Squadrons are an NPC group that you can take in limited dungeons or send out on 18 hour trips by themselves for extra things.

#

It's essential to use them to get to Captain rank

As squadrons are not relevant at all in endgame content

hey guyz, PLD seems to be far more interesting since SHB with his new spell,
do you think that it became one of the, or the funniest tank to play ? (because of his versatility, new spell and free double dash)

#

i was WAR before, going to play again, and dont want to WAR again
in fact, i wonder if i should go as PLD, DRG or WHM to play again with my gf (who's going to bard), and i'm asking wich classes should be the funniest, i'm rebuilding a char, my old one was :

#

i did all savage as Warrior, and i'm asking to myself if i want to continue, or doing savage as other role

#

cause sometimes, its really boring imo

#

but i know that playing as DPS is harder to found a rooster

#

Let me know what u're thinking, and ur experience

foggy latch
#

fun is subjective

#

what you might find fun may not be fun to another person

#

so all i can say is try everything

#

and seek what is fun to you

little rivet
#

even if its subjective, there is many details who permit to say if a class is more or less boring to another one, in the same role

#

and as u could see, i already tried many jobs

#

but warrior is too slow, and boring now imo, even if i did savage with good parse before

#

(i know, been a long time)

supple sail
#

PLD is also quite slow, with a similar rate of actions per minute to WAR

little rivet
#

seems to got more tools anyway, and war dash need ressource, when PLD have 2 free dash oGCD

supple sail
#

Opinion on its new rotation vary, some find it more stimulating while others find it a bit jank and unintuitive

little rivet
#

thanks for u answers btw ❤️

supple sail
#

It is a lot of buttons for not that much effect

little rivet
#

there is many ppl who said that DRG is also slow

#

i lvled up all other melee

#

what about him

supple sail
#

DRG is the slowest melee in terms of GCD as it has no speed buff

little rivet
#

and his oGCD do not balance it?

supple sail
#

I believe its apm are around the same as monk, since monk has a fast gcd but very few ogcds

little rivet
#

dont want to lvl up it if its slow as tank classes

#

oh nice !

#

i loved monk, but it was too simpler imo (was my main classe for heavensward savage)

supple sail
#

Dragoon is pretty steady and straightforward

little rivet
#

k i'll try, then i'll see if its fun, ty for or feedback

#

in fact i think my funniest classe was probably mnk/nin atm

supple sail
#

You repeat a linear gcd rotation that’s 11 gcds long

#

What do you mean by double weave?

little rivet
#

douyble oGCD

lone path
#

Like 2 OGCDs in between 2 GCD moves?

little rivet
#

sound like it

lone path
#

Word

#

Im not familiar with most classes so I dont know if that would be wasting any GCD uptime

little rivet
#

as tank its ok, as nin sometimes u have to

#

bbut as drg, and animation lock, maybe u cant

lone path
#

Also anyone wanna run "the navel (hard)" in like 20 minutes? I can't use party finder cause im on free lol

#

Ah ok thanks^ good to know

lyric summit
#

just queue

#

its casual old content

supple sail
#

DRGs do double weave

#

just not very often

#

their opener has like two instances of double weaving I think?

#

jumps do have longer anim lock which prevents effective double weaving

quick verge
#

your weave windows on drg get pretty packed at times

little rivet
#

so, most of the time u got oGCD to do betwenn 2 GCD on DRG

i guess

I got struck with an great idea yesterday

#

What if we just stop doing ilya LR in PF shiva groups and instead get used to any other strat since literally all other ways to handle it are better?

nova socket
#

Just don't pf

#

:)

steep iris
#

be the change u want to see

#

people changed the majority strat with line strat in o9s

#

so it's possible

unborn panther
#

My ayatori PF had 1 guy join in 50min

quick verge
#

get dozens of people to make awareness pfs about the strat

daring dome
#

this late in the tier no ones gonna bother

#

best to just take the L

unborn panther
#

Doesnt matter if early or late, look at SoS Ex

#

Everyone adapted the day1 guide strats without thinking for themselves. 90% use that 30 liner macro u get from reddit even tho its absolute shit

daring dome
#

dont even know whats wrong with the sos ex day 1 strats

#

ninja uptime is what we have and everything else seems like a waste of time

#

had a guy peddle us his melee uptime strat for towers and it worked about as well as everyone expected for a sick gain of like 1 gcd

quick verge
#

isn't melee uptime for towers just

#

learning what max melee range is

daring dome
#

he put tank in tower and rdps/healer bahamut

#

rdps undergeared

#

other healer shook and cried

#

ironically he also got clipped by healer stack so thats big funny

unborn panther
#

Add uptime is quite a large difference for melees in sos ex, also makes it much easier for the phys ranged to lb2 both adds. Then there is the confiteor placements, wyrm uptime for if the eye marked player is a melee and a safe way to dodge lb3 without accidentally running out of melee gapcloser distance

#

Also bahamut uptime

#

Most is just common sense to not clip ur friends with confiteor AoEs. And if ur tank is good u can even play sword of light2 uptime

sinful brook
#

But are those really uptime "strats" or pf discovering common sense for the first time?

stable wasp
#

so this isnt exactly endgame but its not really great for the normal channel but i think i actually figured out what the hell the tell for the deathly ray masks in the final boss of amaurot is

took me way too fuckin long to figure out but i think its just the aura under them

quaint marten
#

Oh uhh i just tanked the first hit and pretended its an unavoidable raidwide.

It doesnt give vuln like normal messed up mechanics so i just whatevered it

i was just doing amaurot and i was trying to figure out the tell so i stop standing in the wrong one first

molten otter
#

question

#

just started healing on a real job (AST) and i'm kind of confused about diurnal vs nocturnal sect

#

do i just use it depending on co-healer?

lyric summit
#

yeah pretty much, though double regen is fine too for most casual content, its just the shields that overwrite each other so you don't want a noct+sch

#

and in 4man just use whatever you want, though regens are a bit more value over the shields afaik

stable basin
#

regens are way higher potency because all else being equal getting healed before the damage happens is much stronger than getting healed 20 seconds later

#

most ppl will go noct if there's a whm but it's usually not actually efficient unless you need to to prevent people from getting oneshot

light yarrow
#

any up to play ff14 ?

tough gorge
#

for betwixt in e7s
where should I exactly stand if I have 2 or 3 tethered to me? bc I find that I keep getting caught in the other middle aoe despite me being at the front

#

would this work?

#

also is it the healers that get the stack marker?

daring dome
#

yes healers get the stacks

#

and you can angle your birds a bit

#

the t/h shouldnt be in danger

tough gorge
#

also my fc leader suggested that we do 1234 instead of 4231
with 1 and 4 going to the very corner of their side
saying it's a lot more braindead for dps

daring dome
#

thats dangerous

tough gorge
#

yeah that's what I was thinking as well honestly it's a lot riskier

daring dome
#

wrong angle can clip t/h

#

theres absolutely nothing wrong with the strat you posted earlier

tough gorge
#

like it does work it's just
really risky

#

especially when you get back with thee and you can't see SHIT

daring dome
#

then it basically doesnt work

#

theres no reason to use it over the other one

wet pine
#

both are pretty braindead lol

tough gorge
#

yeah they are it's just one is much safer

wet pine
#

^

tough gorge
#

gonna discuss this with my static

#

bc I think we should stick with 4231

wet pine
#

there's no reason dps cant remember cross t

daring dome
#

tell them to stop changing strats for no reason

#

in fact dps might suffermore because they have to watch where they teleport more

tough gorge
#

I actually hadn't considered that

daring dome
#

and also pf uses 4321 so its double L

tough gorge
#

yeah

#

I mean if it worked for my fc leader it's fine but if we're progging might as well respect mechanics and be safe

daring dome
#

the thing is theres only downsides

#

if there was a uptime gain or whatever you can consider it

#

but theres no gain

#

only suffering

wet pine
#

well the gain is that its less thinking

#

but like the amount of more thinking for cross T

#

is super minimal

daring dome
#

arguably more thinking

#

because you have to actually angle your teleport more correctly

tough gorge
#

nah I think 1234 is more thinking yeah

daring dome
#

instead of just aping to your corner wherever

wet pine
#

Ah I always go to the corner no matter what

#

so I guess if you don't do that its about the same

tough gorge
#

bc you gotta go right to the very edge of the corner to be 100% safe

wet pine
#

free movement gang

daring dome
#

im healer gang so id appreciate not getting violently murdered by the greeding melee

stable basin
#

You're only changing the position of 2 things for cross T it is not any more thinking and safer

wet pine
#

yeah its really just better to do cross T

stable basin
#

Cross T is great

wet pine
#

I'm healer main too and haven't been killed by melee greed yet

#

because cross T :DDD

Having to aim for the very edge feels like ass with regular T

if people walk off the edge for beginning of e8 then I wouldnt trust them to stand on the edge for e7

im waiting for the moment i walk off the edge on mirrors

#

i always think ill do it today but i havent yet

#

my moment will come

wet pine
#

I feel you

#

I always sprint to the very edge so waiting for the day I walk off

#

gotta get those glares in 😤

daring dome
#

i dont pop sprint because my poor fingers

#

i just get an extra glare instead

#

and slidecast over

wet pine
#

you slidecast to the edges? O.o

#

I didnt know you could do that

daring dome
#

not exactly

#

if you dont pop sprint

stable basin

There's a nice comfy spot around where the intercardinal diamond patterns are that the two circles cut off pretty early on

you can greed 2 glares after dot refresh

We have GNB taking it with Nebula and HoS but our SCH is doing recit+excog, I've told them to try recit shield for next time since it really seems like the mine does enough damage to tell excog to fuck off

Annoying when they have ice though, we'll try our pld interventioning them

Oi

#

What are you doing here

stable basin
#

relying on excog for stuff like that can be dangerous

2 dmg sources each do 65% max hp, first one you shield them for 20%
Hit 55% after the first, excog doesn't pop, take 65% from second and die

With 7S teleports, any tips on managing it on controller

subtle bone
#

Face camera in the direction you need to go towards, press up directional before the teleport goes off

#

So if your teleport is going <left and you need to tp to the NE corner(from the center during betwix) , you would face camera south then press up directional to end your left tp marker facing ne

#

That was easiest way for me after switching from standard to legacy

dull radish
#

Yep that's the general suggestion, makes it cozy. For reference as well, as far as BLM is concerned. For betwixt I believe you get a poly stack like, just before then, so you can use that to make it easier to turn.

During adds phase try to situate yourself so you're on the correct side of the add to keep hitting it without having to turn to line up the teleport--like if the teleport is directly behind you, you want to be situated directly in front of it facing it, kind of thing. I think you might also happen to get a xeno right before that resolves too? But that one's easier to manage, regardless @olive hearth

we hold big raid buffs during the end of Titan because they’ll be like 10-15s on cooldown when ultima appears if we don’t

Titan still dies before or during the landslides so

I feel like seeing ultima prolly halfway point but ymmv

you only need one pull where you reach suppression with the drk pooling resources for gaol and someone with their head screwed on straight getting light pillar and you'll see the end of the fight

Thanks! @nova socket

So I have a question for whms who have cleared or atleast passed add phase of e7s. I am wondering what is the the best way to heal during that phase. Since it is a lot of moving I am just wondering what others have done to heal effectively

urban temple
#

There is downtime during stacking and when you're standing still for the teleport things. Otherwise its just tank damage.

#

Ideally you have your healers split and half the raid is managed by each

halcyon bramble
#

Yeah, though whm is not very agile is it best that I run ahead of the mob to the corner where the tank is pulling the mob to unless we have to stack of course. Or is it better to stick to the mob and move with them casting when I can?

daring dome
#

the first stack on adds has more time after it

#

so you can do stuff like place aslyum down on the safespot

#

to heal up without having to worry about the 2nd stack

#

3rd stack comes quicker than the 2nd so you do something like confession > lily

#

if you have all 4 people in the stack people will be left with like ca 40k hp or something

#

you can actually barely survive with 3 if everyone is full

#

the stack afterwards you usually shouldnt see but if you do theres more than enough time

#

sticking with the mob doesnt do anything

#

also protip you can dot all 3 adds for more movement

#

more than recommended actually

halcyon bramble
#

Yeah Ive been adding the dots to the adds

daring dome
#

but yeah thats basically it

#

whm has no problem keeping both tanks alive

#

throw a bene if theres no drk in your party

halcyon bramble

Thank you! We have a pld and a gunbreaker

#

For MNK: What's the optimal way to reach max GL stacks at start? Is it Anatman or a PB into SP?

#

or neither.

#

Twin Snakes -> Demolish -> PB -> Snap Punch x 2 -> Swap from FoF to FoW -> SP?

quick verge
#

demolish > snap > snap > twin > demolish

what was good dps for mch in stormblood

#

im getting 7k on dummies without meld at lvl 70

#

i think i remember getting 8k+ on my blm on dummies in stormblood

torn kindle
#

Most DPS jobs at endgame stormblood were like 8-9k IIRC

#

With SAM/BLM nearly breaking or barely broke 10k

quick verge
#

you got close to 10k with 80% balance uptime on blm in a full party situation

#

7.5-9k

midnight hollow
#

😔

#

i dont remember anybody being that high when i played

#

i played when suzaku was current

#

well she was just released around the time i left

foggy latch
#

i405 ppl

#

at suzaku release no one was even at that ilvl

finite plank
#

i hit 7-8k dps on lvl 70

#

and leveling to 80

stuck wigeon
#

nah fam people werent hitting 10k dps end of stormblood

#

8k was orange for most jobs

stable basin
#

Someone did get 10k pre-echo in alphascape

#

That 80%+ balance blm was not a typical situation tho

quick verge
#

there was like 2 or 3

#

holis cube being one

#

but yeah getting 10k required that premium pad

stuck wigeon
#

average dps was about 7k

#

end of SB

midnight hollow
#

that feels better then

#

i guess im around average

#

mch is pretty easy

#

especially because of how mobile it is

#

no cast times

#

i started yesterday... hardest part so far is eyes being stuck to cast bar but hopefully i dont need to do that once i get used to it

stuck wigeon
#

cast bar on mch?

#

or u mean ur skills?

midnight hollow
#

the hotbar where u put skills

stable basin
#

L70 dps is a bit wack because some kits got less functional at that level but there's also a lot more potency going around

#

7k means you're probably hitting your buttons decently tho

foggy latch
#

remember

#

we got our accs and belt buffed as ShB released

#

we got about 300 extra main stat from it

In E6S what is babysteps

#

Like I get moving bit by bit to dodge the line AoEs, but what direction

#

E -> W? On the edge of the boss? In-out?

stable basin
#

I think the strat is just move closer to center

cursive trout
#

is someone willing to help me understand the phase one portal mechanics in E7S?
I don't understand when the portal swaps between red shots and blue shots
after the initial shot I mean

stable basin
#

The portals pass the birbs between each other

#

Like you have

Red          Blue
Blue         Red
Red          Blue```
#

The red portal on the right is shooting into the blue portal on the left

#

So the next shot will be fired out of a blue portal on the right

#

Same deal with light and dark, if light shoots out of red and into blue then blue will shoot light in the next set

stuck wigeon
#

the second portal set is even easier

#

its either stay all the way or swap after each light is shot

#

im trying to figure out fflogs

#

if i can compare it to other people

#

idk if they even keep track of dungeons

lyric summit
#

not leveling dungeons

#

and endgame dungeons are only ranked in speed iirc

woven nymph
#

do you get anything from clearing all job quests to lv80? already got the amaro but i feel like i missed something

stable basin
#

there's the bonus role quest

lyric summit
#

titles

stable basin
#

other than that, just a sense of pride and accomplishment

lyric summit
#

each lvl 80 job quest gives a title

#

thank!

#

remembered the clearing all job quests to lv50 achievement and was wondering if there's a lv80 equivalent

they already got the amaro

#

For TEA, can two people with the same color Nisi touch each other without dying? Before gavel or verdict though

quick verge
#

yes

stable basin
#

If i interpret it right, theres no need to do Eden savages in order anymore right? I want to start doing them but doing them in order sounds like a pain

steady pebble
#

yes, you dont have to do them in order since they are no longer weekly locked

stable basin
#

Sweet

high ether
#

they are roughly ordered in general difficulty

#

though a lot of people think e6s and/or e7s are easier than e5s

#

e8s however is by far the most difficult fight in the tier

#

so I wouldn't recommend jumping straight into e8s

stable basin
#

Yeah that's valid

#

I've been looking at e5s

#

E7 is some mind fuckery and i haven't really seen e6

high ether
#

e5s is not a bad place to start

#

it has a really long, lenient burn phase before the enrage

#

so if you can make it through the mechanics, have decent dps, and did not fall behind too far, you can usually burn Ramuh down there

sinful brook
#

7s isn't as bad as the game makes it out to be. A lot of the mechanics are trivialized by understanding where to stand, no colour processing is needed or portal understanding

stable basin
#

Fair enough

#

E7n was the only one i really struggled on

#

But if portal understanding isnt needed that doesnt sound too bad

wheat marsh
#

ive heard e7s easier but e6s is only rivaled by e8s this tier

#

but im not touching savage anyways

daring dome
#

e6s is very easy

#

if you skip everything past conflag

#

if you dont then its as hard as e5s

wheat marsh
#

e6n and e8n are hardest once you get e7n. e5n is just making sure pugs dont drop clouds together.

daring dome
#

normal?

wheat marsh
#

yeah

#

e6n is easily my worst, then e8n

#

the other two its more if the pugs can handle portals and dropping clouds apart

#

e8n is mostly reacting to attacks and mirrors that arent scythe kick, and forgetting about the one push

#

if people stacked in normal like they do for EX stuff, then e8n probably wouldnt be a problem for me since its easy enough to follow a leader in that case

daring dome
#

e8n is like

#

really easy

#

even when i just did it when i was new

#

nothing kills you

#

and you have to remember like 2 things

sinful brook
#

8n doesn't have anything that's suppossd to intentionally mislead or wipe your party

#

And with dps nowadays you can skip a lot of the fight

wheat marsh
#

its not like wiping besides the DPS check part with some groups, i just tend to get vuln stacks since i haven't memorized the safe spots for mirrors

#

and ive probably died to that push more than i care to acknowledge XD

sinful brook
#

Dw my friend had died to that heavenly strike too much too

wheat marsh
#

mostly since im on range/caster dps and am a decent amount away.

#

e6n is by far and away my worst, its just e8n is worse for me than e5n and e7n as i do what i need to on those, its the others in the party more, whereas its more me in e6n and e8n

finite plank
#

"Clearly, Heavenly Strike must be another tankb- ah fuck it's a knockback"

wheat marsh
#

its just so random XD at least the knockback in memoria comes from a specific shield

steady pebble
#

well, heavenly strike is a knockback in shiva ex

#

pretty sure its in normal version too but i think most people dont see it these days since you kill pretty quickly

wheat marsh
#

even if its in the normal you didnt really need to watch the cast bar in most normal duty

#

and nobody coming in post HW did shiva EX synced

steady pebble
#

just sayin'. a lot of the shiva mechanics in eden are pretty much call backs to the shiva trial

wheat marsh
#

still feels random XD

foggy latch
#

finally next tier will be unique

#

no more fighting arr stuff

finite plank
#

for e5s, is the tankbuster aoe marker actually an aoe?

quick verge
#

no

finite plank
#

next, for cleansing the debuff thing, do you need a surge stack?

nova socket
#

technically not but you get a vuln if you don't have one

finite plank
#

mk... for the chain lightning part, that thing looks scary to me, how is it usually passed around?

foggy latch
#

depends on strat

#

it goes to closest person to guy with chain

#

and it apply a tiny aoe under the transfer guy

#

anyone caught with it dies

#

so when u pass it you dont wanna be within the guy hitbox

heavy vessel
#

The 2 strats for that currently would be either standing around the boss and giving it to the next guy clockwise or doing it with 2 groups. usually 1 ranged the heal and the melee. But i have done it without any strat as well, it´s complete chaos but u can manage.

finite plank
#

for tribunal summons, it comes in the same direction similar to WoLex's dreadwyrm summons, right?

#

as in, always north?

torn kindle
#

Yeah bahamut always starts from the north

#

If you mean the one that divebombs

finite plank
#

yeah

torn kindle
#

God, imagine if he could do other directions

foggy latch
#

its fine

#

levi did it before him

#

tbh it should have been that

#

but fight already have tough mechanics

#

no need for more

torn kindle
#

layered divebombs

foggy latch
#

he should be able to summon 2 bahamuts @torn kindle

torn kindle
#

One covering west half of north and another covering north-half of East/west

finite plank
#

well...

foggy latch
#

yes

finite plank
#

I don't think it'll be too difficult on wolex

#

i'm concerned on E5S because I'm not sure if we'll need to adapt positions

#

assuming it can come from the north

#

south*

foggy latch
#

it becomes abit scary

#

when he ask u to go in

finite plank
#

go in who?

foggy latch
#

if say 2 bahamuts dive

#

and does donut aoe

#

it leaves tiny bit under his hitbox

#

as safespot

finite plank
#

i'd think it's easier, just move to the other side similar to...

#

PB?

#

anyways, I hope I can find a practice party for E5s for tommorow, ty

thorny sphinx
#

Question. How difficult is Delta 4 Savage currently? Unsynced of course.

stable basin
#

you need a vague idea of the mechanics but it should be pretty easy now

#

you'll probably kill around grand cross delta-ish?
