wheat marsh
#

got everything to 80, ninja and monk easily the worst to perform

subtle marsh
#

With the monk update it should be more user friendly.

wheat marsh
#

still feel that with monk i'd need separate hotbars to just go down the line for the rotation

#

still dont know the combos for the different NIN stuff

sinful brook
#

I think the problem there is treating the monk gcds as separate combos

#

I'd personally split them between flank and rear

#

And thats it

#

The idea of monk is yes or no

#

Have leaden fist? Bootshine. Have twin snakes? True strike. Have demolish? Snap punch

#

Thats really all it is

#

But that can be overwhelming to process in real time until it becomes muscle memory

wheat marsh
#

pretty certain i just set up the 6 and went down the line. but i think i'd need more for the optimal rotation

sinful brook
#

Thats the thing right going down the line is incorrect

#

Its not rear rear rear flank flank flank

stable basin
#

Dividing MNK skills by positional on my bars confuses me cuz they serve different roles
Dividing MNK skills by role on my bars confuses me cuz they have different positionals

#

pphands

wheat marsh
#

i meant for what seemed to combo into each other

#

i think it was RRF-FFR?

sinful brook
#

Not always that either lmao

#

But that is part of the pattern

wheat marsh
#

yeah it was enough to keep up the buffs, but like i said i doubt it was optimal

#

i'd need to just have the full rotation on hotbar combos if i wanted monk's optimal rotation

#

still dont know NIN's ground DoT AoE spell XD barely remember the DPS combos

sinful brook
#

All you need to know for ninja is it doesn't matter what mudra you start on

#

But matters what you end on

#

And press the mudras no more than once each in a combo

steady pebble
#

for me, personally, its easier to think of it in terms of 1-2-3 (or q-e-r since thats what i have those bound to)

wheat marsh
#

idk i tried but it just didn't really stick

stable basin
#

quas wex exort for speedy buff

#

exort wex quas for trick attack splashy

steady pebble
#

but i also dont like playing nin cos of mudras either

undone tide
#

pile is that english

steady pebble
#

because despite doing that, i still flubb them a lot

wheat marsh
#

and im not allowed to play SAM

undone tide
#

SAM is quite ezpz

wheat marsh
#

XD i think I applied the DoT about 5 times leveling it

steady pebble
#

tbh a lot of this just comes down to practice

undone tide
#

Go to jail

steady pebble
#

and muscle memory

undone tide
#

That's where you belong

wheat marsh
#

(and then it was because i misclicked XD)

undone tide
#

I've practiced basically every job's rotation a million times

#

Although I haven't used them all in savage so my knowledge of them is still entry level ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

wheat marsh
#

i will say, leveling doesn't help when you jump from current level stuff down 20-30 levels and lose half the job stuff

undone tide
#

Just don't do roulettes 4head

subtle marsh
#

I loved invoker support

#

wex exort

#

pwned

wheat marsh
#

DRG and SMN just seemed to click more with me

#

i can maybe red mage, though its a bit awkward, not a big fan of ranged DPS, though definitely dancer first, them MCH. BRD can remain in the utensil drawer

wheat marsh
#

after playing SMN and WHM before the reworks, its hard to play black mage

stable basin
#

I put my monk as RRR-FFF-A(oe)AA (i havent rly touched savage w it)

#

Cuz i use an mmo mouse for it so i just move up and down depending on which one im pressing

#

Sam hurts my brain

#

Ninja is nice once you learn each mudra

stable basin
#

How much is not having 530 gonna fuck me over in e12

#

Cuz i wanna clear asap but my roll luck is awful

quick verge
#

you only need i510 to clear e12s

#

preferably have an emerald weapon

#

and some tome gear at this point

stable basin
#

I see

#

Well best of luck to me

#

Hopefully i can clear before New year's

#

good luck

#

I'm sure some people have cleared in PF but I'm just now starting to even see door clear parties

#

My friend has cleared doors multiple times

#

I think he was trying for a clear tonight

#

But its less Pf, more "we met in PF and now we're a temp static to clear 12"

Trueee

#

are there that many BLM that have cleared to have most total damage in party and 4th rDPS still be a grey parse?

foggy latch
#

19500 is low by e12s standard

for now

due not many clears

#

Item level isn't even 500, any advice to get a better item level that doesn't cost too much as i'm broke

quick verge

run eden's promise normal

buy revelation tomestone gear each week for your lowest ilvl slot

#

also buy allegory tomestone gear for your lowest ilvl slots when possible

night kernel

Allegory is at level 490 or so, I am at 490

run eden's promise normal, get gear, replace current gear
can run puppets bunker and copied factory to exchange coins to augment allegory tome gear to i500

I'll try to get 510

patent fossil
#

asked my msq group to "tell me" during prateorium but no one responded "FOR WHOM DO YOU FIGHT?"

finite plank
#

thanks to the advice, to never double weave assassinate, I got better TA windows

#

except for the one where someone suggested not to use DWAD with TA

steep falcon
#

Huh

finite plank
#

I've got an issue I encountered while progging, or with high latency if it happens again.
If I do put DWAD as a separate ogcd, it drifted after each TA, eventually overlapping with TCJ, I thought I'd just DWAD and then TCJ, but meisui then gets delayed

#

I managed to fit 3 bhavacakra's into a TA window at the cost of assassinate not being inside by accident

#

another issue is accidentally letting TA drift because my GCD's about to refresh

#

I'm not sure if I want to risk clipping by having TA come out so late, how strict should this be? I had this happen sometimes while thinking it's fine after the remark of "should always get TA out" while fighting against my want to have it be under a comfortable gcd.

yeah

took a while to find a way to heal comfortably through it

still working out titan

week 3 clear is it omg rip extra wep or 2

#

and xmas crap so idk how many days we going even ugh

#

and if we didnt clear e12s then good rip

subtle marsh
#

If you're this miserable quit and find someone else to gripe to about how bad your last static was and how much time you wasted.

foggy latch

undone tide
#

What e10s PF strats should I know about

#

I see kachi around but I'm pretty sure it's shit uptime?

foggy latch
#

well just do it

undone tide
#

muh uptime

foggy latch
#

wait til ppl skip the voidgates

undone tide
#

but like

#

muh parse

foggy latch
#

dude everyone did it in early weeks

undone tide
#

actually wait lemme look at the e10s timeline

foggy latch
#

rest of strats require galaxybrain shit u dont need to waste your time on

subtle marsh
#

Who gives a shit about your shitty parse. If you can't clear your parse means nothing.

foggy latch
#

deal with it for now

#

then skip

undone tide
#

Also if everyone did it in the early weeks why are there consistently 15 prog parties on it every night

#

Also I would've done it earlier if i had spent much less time on e9s

subtle marsh
#

Because there are still millions of other people probably playing this game

#

And of that thousands

#

Do savage

foggy latch
#

not everyone cleared e10s week 1/2

undone tide
foggy latch
#

clear takes priority atm

#

do safe strats

undone tide
#

I'm joking about the parse, don't actually care about my logs that much

foggy latch
#

dps check in e10s is joke

#

even if entire party got dmg down twice

undone tide
foggy latch
#

u got time to clear it be4 enrage

undone tide
#

E10S is a great fight tbh, real fun

foggy latch
#

100%

nova socket
#

Just do xenos week1 strat

undone tide
foggy latch
#

is that dmg down uptime?

nova socket
#

Full uptime for melees

#

And really braindead to do

foggy latch
#

no i meant single

#

we did xeno uptime this week

undone tide
#

would like to note, the 4 uptime run was somehow almost a 20

#

which is pepega

foggy latch
#

pretty easy

undone tide
#

thought it would be 10

#

but PLD players are small brain, apparently

nova socket
#

We did it day1 and didn't fail it once after we saw it, you have to be special to do so

foggy latch
#

we played it safe week 1

#

and completely blind

#

took us 3 hours to figure out anti air and wide thingy

nova socket
#

3 hours

undone tide
#

that's pepega

#

but i think 40 hours on e9s before clear is more pepega

uncut gate
#

40h on e9s?

#

this some elite primal raider stuff?

foggy latch
#

if in pf i wouldnt be surprised

shadow timber
#

What is currently one of the harder trials?

stiff steppe
#

the most recent one, probably

subtle marsh
#

Not sure what kind of pf you're getting but mine are fine. FroggyPoggers

Which one is that @stiff steppe

stiff steppe
#

Emerald Weapon

shadow timber
#

Thanks!

nova socket

Calling emerald hard is very much a stretch

Good thing I don't need to

oh that is what it is

I completely forgot there was maint today

#

damn, and we have raid in a little over an hour

subtle bone
#

Just pretend everything crit and youre doing big damages lol

nova socket
#

you don't need act to raid anyways

subtle marsh
#

If you want a decent static in the future, you kinda do.

#

Because they're more than likely gonna request it.

undone tide
#

I'm on ps4 so i just rely on party finder to post my logs

#

Most good groups in PF will have it up

sinful brook
#

No what niko means is that act shouldn't be whats preventing you from clearing a fight you've done already

#

Its literally for resume padding

subtle marsh
#

Oooh

#

I see.

sinful brook
#

Not really mega necessary to use act to gauge the progress of the fight but it do be nice to have all the data collated during prog

subtle marsh

I see I see.

ayo someone just told me for e9s uptime is the same strat as happy? is this true?

yeah

wow thats not confusing at all

tough gorge
#

for the 2nd rejuvenating balm on e9s, is it always the opposite of the first one?
i.e. 1st is N/S safe, 2nd is E/W safe

finite plank
#

this isn't for true north, right?

tough gorge
#

wdym

finite plank
#

I'd say yes, but I actually never bothered to pay attention to it

#

It's one of those easy mechanics that I go auto pilot on

tough gorge
#

yeah tbh with the 2nd rejuvenating balm there's not much going on so a lot of time to go to position

#

I've just been thinking if that's the case bc I looked at 2 clears, 1 from ffxivmomo and 1 from ilya to be sure

#

1st was e/w safe, 2nd was n/s safe on both videos, altho that's too small a sample size

finite plank
#

nope

#

my clear run had both rejunevating balms safe zone be at east and west

you can somehow live group lasers by having tactician, over 130k health as a melee and a bit of succor shields

steep falcon
#

Huh what is that puddle positions

finite plank
#

kind of wanted cardinal puddles to be the norm but that didn't happen

#

but not my problem when I can shukuchi through puddles and be fine

dull radish
#

you uh, shouldn't

#

like any movement skill, you're moving from starting position to ending position in a straight line

stable basin
#

varies by dc

#

primal is mostly mith

dull radish
#

and the game can snapshot you within the AoE

finite plank
#

done it by accident, expected death but nothing happened

dull radish
#

you got lucky

finite plank
#

many times

#

during prog

dull radish
#

if you don't get lucky you get a tick of damage that does most of your health in a single tick

undone tide
#

I'm trying to figure out how you can cheese kb for gcds on mith

#

Apparently pop arms and sprint to your spot?

stable basin
#

cheese mith strat by joining a pt with happy brambles in description

undone tide
#

4head

#

I would if they existed pile

subtle marsh
#

or maybe get good and don't blame outside problems for your failure.

stable basin
#

🤔

subtle marsh
#

I'm dead serious when I say that pf happy brambles isn't as bad as people say it is because I've consistently had people get consistently past brambles just by pf.

dull radish
#

the response there indicated to join a PF with happy brambles instead of mith, if you want more GCDs compared to mith

#

since mith is just dumb and has you putting them on the wall because dumb

subtle marsh
#

I will admit my fault in misreading/misunderstanding.

finite plank
#

what's happy brambles and mith

stable basin
#

Happy is in pairs max melee on intercards

#

mith is get knocked back and place in pairs on cards at the wall

undone tide
#

loure just immediately hops on my back and tears it to pieces for no reason so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

subtle marsh
#

Maybe because majority of the time you're saying dumb shit

quick verge
#

cut the shit

#

i get you don't like wol but this isn't the place for it

#

it's annoying

subtle marsh
#

I already apologized what more do you want?

finite plank
undone tide
#

dumb shits just on brand for me

finite plank
#

that sounds wasteful but I can imagine it makes towers very simple

stable basin
#

yeah

#

I don't mind mith strat existing for ppl who just want clears

#

But also having an uptime strat in pf for a mech that is not at all difficult is nice

finite plank
#

still better than putting melee at outer tiles for panel

stable basin
undone tide
#

Never joining a 7/8 static PF again

#

These guys don't know shit about what pf does

#

This guy actually wants me to swap to MT till next buster?

#

fucking why

#

Literally every pf i join shirks immediately after buster

#

e9s

#

I don't understand what these guys are doing tbh they're doing happy and that's all i caught

stable basin
#

tbh I'm surprised to hear that pf swaps back

undone tide
#

I left after first pull

#

There was so much bullshit going on

#

They told me im going here, but then they yell at me for going there?

#

DRK asks me why I have aggro when he fucking died

#

They ask me why I'm at south when I have aggro even the DRK was standing north

#

This is some bullshit

#

people putting the brambles way too close to boss

high ether
#

not just tanking it with an invuln

undone tide
#

While I do think invulning it is kinda dumb it's best for pf

steep falcon
#

7/8 Static means they developed their own way to do the fight, so it is not usual PF strat most of the time

foggy latch
#

7/8 statics have usually highest clear rate

#

rarely i meet statics worse than pf

#

though joining 7/8 statics means

#

you need to be prepared to adjust to their stuff

#

if you dont have what it takes to join said groups then dont

undone tide
#

Yeah but a lot of the shit they were doing was stupid and they didn't have the skill to boot.

#

Plus I have no desire to raid with people gaslighting me

foggy latch
#

i would say im missing context

#

so i cant judge who is on the wrong here

undone tide
#

I'll give some context in a bit, busy.

#

So, a couple examples

#

Guy says I'm left side for Wide/Anti. Nobody objects. Once we get there, co tank yells at me saying I'm at the wrong side.

#

Same DRK says once we swap for TB, I'm MT until next TB. Then, he invulns first tb and then once we get to second tb he asks me why i have aggro

#

Same DRK walks THROUGH ME while I have aggro and tb is about to go off. Then asks me why I moved

#

After he died, he gets ressed, and he and someone else asks me why I have aggro and why the boss is facing south

devout totem
#

shirk to h1
Remove tank stance

uncut gate
#

left side could be diff between the relative facing

#

i have some people who does the left/right looking at boss, other uses the boss face instead

undone tide
#

Boss relative was in PF

devout totem
#

Just clarify with them, isit true north or boss relative

uncut gate
#

how is the boss relative is the issue

#

seems obvious to me relative boss is relative to how the boss is facing, but like i said i've party otherwise

undone tide
#

Yeah but I was where they told me to go

devout totem
#

Some ppl are just shitty

#

I was once blamed for not healing the tank when the DRK claimed to invul

#

Which she died to the TB immediately

#

Just tyfp and leave whenever u dun feel comfortable lol

thorn plaza
#

I've been considering trying the savage raids, but I don't have a static, and seeing how pf seems to struggle with a simple mechanic like fundamental synergy from O12S unsync I'd be surprised if any sort of progress would be made past the first mechanic

foggy latch
#

most ppl who do o12s now are ppl who are bad at mechs and wanting the glams and to clear they through more gear at mechs to cheese fuck ups

#

so cant really compare

#

its bad in pf but not as bad as u made it out

thorn plaza
#

I'm doing it mainly cause I'm really late to the party and I really really want the Omega mount

foggy latch
#

you can tell that they are bad at o12s

#

because a strat callled bye bye world became a thing

thorn plaza
#

Yeah

#

I try using it because I haven't really seen any decent explanation of Hello World, but then again, I haven't actually seen it legit other than in diagrams

#

Also mainly because in 5 parties

#

Only 1 made it to phase 2

#

And that party only made it to hello world 1 twice

#

The amount of times people needed to explain how patch worked

#

Yet we still wiped on it

#

Over and over and over

stable basin
thorn plaza
#

Actually mind boggling

stable basin
#

except we did that rotated 180

#

and put tank in center tower/defamation

foggy latch
#

patch used to be more punishing back then

#

now u can eat 4 stacks and still not die

stable basin
#

some farm groups purposely pop them in pairs now

foggy latch
#

hello world 1 is easy

#

if you figure out how debuffs worked

#

cause "if u got this go to X and if u got this go to Y" is just cryptic explaining

#

at least to me

#

i dont want go there and go there explaining

thorn plaza
#

You can't eat 4 stacks, if that was the case then fucking up patch would be physically impossible

foggy latch
#

i want why i go there

#

huh?

#

ppl fuck up patch all the time

thorn plaza
#

Yeah

foggy latch
#

back then only 2 stacks at a time

thorn plaza
#

Iirc 4 tethers go out

#

You pop close ones first

#

Wait for magic vuln to go away

#

Then

foggy latch
#

now u can do 4

thorn plaza
#

You pop far ones

foggy latch
#

and never fear of dying

thorn plaza
#

Idk maybe you can now take it in 5.4 but last patch popping all 4 at once was instant death

foggy latch
#

not all 4

#

4 stacks

#

which is 2 tethers popping up

thorn plaza
#

Ah

foggy latch
#

in same time

thorn plaza
#

I thought the tethers only gave 1 stack per

#

My bad then.

foggy latch
#

u had to pop 1 tether

#

back then at a time

thorn plaza
#

Yeah

foggy latch
#

popping 2 in instant wipe

#

now popping 2 is normal

thorn plaza
#

Yeah

#

I have a question, do defamation blasts from hello world go through stuff like Manaward?

#

Or would it be able to block it

stable basin
#

you can't block the debuff

thorn plaza
#

Not the debuff

#

But the damage

stable basin
#

who cares about the dmg

#

it just does enough to make healers have to do something at i400

#

unless they got a critlo haha

thorn plaza
#

Me, in the event of attempting to do hello world legit and inevitably fucking something up, simply because I do want to try it legit unsync.

#

The doc says it does about ~35k per blast

#

So w/o Manaward an IL 510 BLM (me) might be able to take like 3 of them and maybe live

foggy latch
#

defamation does 35k?

#

iirc it barely did any dmg

#

only one who need healing is the tank doing the solo stack

stable basin
#

you're not getting hit by 3 defamations and living

#

cuz the only way you get hit by 3 defamations is in a wipe

#

if defamation hits someone who has the debuff on them their debuff explodes and does 9999999 dmg

#

long stack dps would need healing at ilvl but now you have almost 3x the hp

#

with echo

foggy latch
#

we had 53k hp iirc in o12s

stable basin
#

The only source of damage healers need to be aware of

#

Is the dps with short stack

#

They're the only one that I've seen end up around 30/40% from double stack

#

Whilst everyone else sits at 80%

finite plank
#

can feint do anything against cycle of faith, thunder?

#

relooking at my reclear, thought I killed the healer by accident but no

#

immediately after the line thunder, the healer casted a lily on themselves and died because they didn't heal in time

quick verge
#

you can feint autos and the elemental breaks

finite plank
#

does it affect the painful thunder dot

quick verge
#

no

Congrats

#

Gl on the rest :>

finite plank
#

okay, tried two e12s practice group

#

what can feint try to mitigate?

#

cause everything hurts

#

earthen fury left me with a pip of health with food buff and healers just died after dd

#

everything hurts

stable basin
#

feint the busters

#

I don't think there's any other feintable physical dmg in that fight

finite plank
#

feint is up after the busters, is there really nothing i can feint?

stable basin
#

Icicles dropping/firing and chiseled daddies dropping are the only other physical damage

#

And those are feintable

#

Cuz they don't come from the boss

finite plank
#

so... i can feint the boss if it's being casted?

stable basin
#

It's complicated

#

Sometimes you can't feint/addle/reprisal something even if it has a castbar

#

Because the source is a different entity

#

But if the boss is directly doing something it usually can be

finite plank
#

well, it's less work but... holy shit everything hurts

stable basin
#

yeah

#

You should have tank mitigations on diamond dust/earthen fury and troub during shiva junction but other than that it's mostly just reprisal/addle raidwides and feint busters and hope your healers are good

finite plank
#

so, for plunging ice, it can be mitigated with reprisal or is it counted as a separate entity? Im gonna assume it's a separate entity and can only be mitigated with troub/shields

stable basin
#

^

#

The dmg comes from the icicle entities

#

same with the lions and the chiseled daddies

bold of you to assume i even played the game when gate was relevant

#

caps

subtle bone
#

Even still... you can do e4s for pre reqs and gear stuff

#

Anyway

#

I think pf should change the 3rd part

undone tide
#

I don't have the skill to even do protean's In TEA

subtle bone
#

Thats

#

Concerning

stable basin
#

Basically, blues hit that division and all adjacent divisons, yellows and oranges both hit just the division they're in and yellow is dmg+vuln and orange is a stack

#

Orange is really weird in actual mechanics though, like it's technically not a stack

stable basin
#

But it does massive damage if there's only one on the tile

undone tide
#

I'm just exaggerating

#

But what I'm trying to say is I don't know shit from e4

stable basin
#

ofc pf flips it from how my group did it wearycarby

subtle bone
#

Haha

stable basin
#

We also put yellows E/W and oranges NE/NW in first one

subtle bone
#

Yea that 3rd part can literally be made more braindead

stable basin
#

As a tank I don't really care what goes on

finite plank
#

it seems like a memory thing, so... I'll have to do it actively to remember

subtle bone
#

Not really a memory thing

#

Based on your role you only have a few spots to go to

quick verge
#

you can just notepad it if you can't remember a few positions

#

and just stick it in the corner of your screen

subtle bone
#

That macro honestly sucks

#

Like the spots

finite plank
#

well, im stuck with it

#

unless another macro is used

#

kind of feels like e10s

#

just without the answer not being obvious

stable basin
#

That's same spots my group does

#

Except primal PF does it different :^)

finite plank
#

well, least the segregation is obvious

#

dps on east and h/t on west

stable basin
#

oh and we do second blue N/S

subtle bone
#

Imo its more intuitive to have oranges and yellows completely static and blues filling

#

But i guess i should learn that pf way if i want to pug :(

finite plank
#

is plunging ice meant to hit me for 102k health with no debuffs?

quick verge
#

unmitigated, sounds about right

it just hurts a lot

undone tide
#

devouring dark hitting me for 140k even with sheltron

finite plank
#

how strong would it be if sheltron buffed parry to 50% instead of 15%

#

just a dreaming thought

quick verge
#

what

simple sky
#

????

#

block?

stable basin
#

not stronger at all cuz sheltron is block not parry :^)

quick verge
#
  1. sheltron blocks all incoming attacks
  2. if it was changed to parry the job would be borderline useless
undone tide
#

Is blocking actually 20% mitigation

quick verge
#

about

undone tide
#

ok cuz I used to die when relying on shel

#

but I'm fine now

quick verge
#

was nerfed coming into shb cause having 6s of ~30% mitigation is kinda broken

SB sheltron was funny

quick verge

sb sheltron makes me seethe thinking about it sometimes ngl

torn kindle

gets eaten by auto-attack so tank buster rips you apart

turbid canopy
#

what is 'line lions' referring to strat wise

#

i cant find videos referencing it

stable basin
#

It's a strat where the tether people are in a vertical line

turbid canopy
#

so facing the lion you are tethered to out into space?

#

essentially standing on top of it

stable basin
#

no

#

you're standing in them midline of the arena

#

cant find toolbox for it rn

turbid canopy
#

i found the toolbox. makes sense.. thanks

stable basin
#

I use this for titan

unkempt cypress
#

what does braindead mean in the context of e11s? There are so many braindead strats my brain died and can't think

stable basin
#

braindead is

#

wait at an intercard to the light line -> once you bait puddles, move to the edge

#

and kb mitigate as lightning goes off

#

but for uptime its better to move to the middle

#

and save kbm for when boss is there

unkempt cypress
#

ohhh i didnt know there was a puddle baiting portion there

foggy latch
#

its not braindead when i have to use my brain to count the time to use anti kb

unkempt cypress
#

thanks

foggy latch
stable basin
#

i just run to the middle

#

since it makes more sense to save KB for when boss is actually there to hit it

finite plank
#

it's called hobo lala in jp

#

except it's usually fire out and light in

#

and we use kb to move into the middle for melee uptime

#

i usually hit kb when thunder comes out

#

of course

#

there are some people that make it a pain

stable basin
#

does anyone have a toolbox or video for line lion

finite plank
#

by making a niche change

#

into fire in light out

@stable basin

#

seal of oricalcus

stable basin
#

so little lion ppl never move

#

except for mechs of course

#

uptime lions = line lion?

foggy latch
#

hmm?

#

litte lion guys dont move

baited big lions are done by swaps

undone tide
#

can anyone explain void Amp to me

daring dome
undone tide
#

everything

daring dome
#

the actual cast spawns towers around the arena that 2 people have to stand in

undone tide
#

like vg1

daring dome
#

the pitch bog (puddle) that you drop can spawn a shadow

#

if yiu walk into it

#

the shadow acts functionally like a person

#

there are 8 towers that spawn meaning there have to be 8 shadows in the towers to reach the 16 people requirement

undone tide
#

So you place the bogs on the intercards, where the VGs appear?

daring dome
#

no

#

well

#

sometimes

#

1 sec

#

so a bit after he casts voidgate amp he does a shadowkeeper cast

undone tide
#

Ah ok

daring dome
#

the one he does during the first mechanic with the shadows

#

that teleports a shadow behind you

#

they do a cleave a short bit after teleporting

#

so you have to teleport the shadows into a tower

#

thing is there are several strats on how to deal with it and i dont know how primal pf does it

dull radish
#

the initial bog placement itself doesn't matter too much as long as they're not in the way, and you're not going to be standing near where that initial clone will spawn after grabbing it

undone tide
#

Kachi is most popular

#

Here, at least

daring dome
#

i forgot what that was but you should be able to understand whats going on if you watch a video of the mechanic

#

anyway the towers keep going

#

after the first set of 8 towers there another 4

#

what will happen is that you will drop an aoe under your feet after a few seconds when the first towers resolve

#

and if that hits a shadow

#

the person tethered to that shadow will die

undone tide
#

oh god

daring dome
#

shortly after the aoe goes off your shadows will disappear and you will get a tether that requires you to be near your partner

undone tide
#

ok

daring dome
#

meaning you have to stand in a tower with the person youre tethered to

dull radish
#

kachi is the one where you spawn clones on intercardinals and then everyone stands in the close towers, so you don't have to worry about hitting clones with those AoEs

daring dome
#

the good thing is you can fail 2 towers before this mechanic kills everyone with doom

undone tide
#

Alright

#

Doesn't sound too hard

daring dome
#

its quite simple if everyone follows the strat yea

#

keep in mind failing a tower will give you dmg down

wheat marsh
#

how long did it take for world first clear on e10s?

undone tide
#

Gonna a2c tonight then

#

4 hours iirc

daring dome
#

ywah something like that

wheat marsh
#

4 hours first pull to clear?

daring dome
#

no

#

e9s + e10s

#

im pretty sure

undone tide
#

Cloud was 2~ hours

wheat marsh
#

i meant specifically first pull to clear

undone tide
#

I think

daring dome
#

e10s isnt that hard with a guide

#

and its gonna get easier cause people will release lifehacks on how to deal with being directionally challenged

#

and the dps check is pretty lax so you can eat even 2 dmg downs afaik

undone tide
#

Just stop being directionally challenged 4head

quick verge
#

you can eat a lot of damage downs if your party is competent*

wheat marsh
#

i'm not competent XD

quick verge
#

pugs are

#

very special :)

undone tide
#

dad told me the same thing

#

so I guess I am special

wheat marsh
#

o11n apparently didn't teach SE people don't do well with left-right AoEs

#

instead they double down and then add multiple directions of the boss not just 180 but 90 and/or 270 degrees

#

XD

#

and front/back XD

#

hmmm so looks like o ne group got it in 3ish hours?

undone tide

ive finally seen enrage

it was 15%

but you never know

undone tide
#

what do you need to clean up

#

lions?

stable basin
#

yea

#

lions and shiva are the biggest problems

#

understandably

#

lion is ... positioning?

#

pr healing

quick verge
#

there isn’t much healing that needs to be done for lions

#

throwing out a heal in the center around the time the kb happens is sufficient

stable basin
#

ik

#

i did recite indom for it

dull radish
#

it'd be so much less cozy if it needed more healing

stable basin
#

i guess its positioning then

#

or maybe puddles

dull radish
#

I'm imagining if it needed the same amount as shiva

#

whew

stable basin
#

i think ppl were getting clipped in shiva

#

cuz the healing was fine

#

we nearly had it down

#

titan was great (except for the pitiful heals going out after wasting stuff on shiva)

#

numbers was great

#

post-lions was also good

#

i need more piety though sweats

dull radish
#

if we have any issues on shiva it's people missing heals/mitigation, or the NIN forgetting/mistiming arm's length haha

stable basin
#

lmfao

#

but yeah

#

ill analyse the logs and figure out what was going on

#

and get some more piety on deck

quick verge

people prob not standing in the correct spot

tbh

tough gorge
#

for 2nd rejuvenating balm in e9s, how are you supposed to exactly position everyone? because I feel like there's not enough time to get everyone to pairs or clock positions

#

I can't find a single video showing off 2nd rejuvenating balm with clock, they always show off pairs

quick verge
#

go to the side closest to your clock position

#

so like if your clock is ne

#

then you sit at the relative north safe zone

tough gorge
subtle bone
#

They can make it from either safe zone

quick verge
#

pop sprint if they have to, there's enough time to walk there anyway

tough gorge
#

problem is I think most of my static use sprint for towers

#

so we don't have sprint for 2nd RB

quick verge
#

that's fine, just means you can't stand around after it's safe to move

tough gorge
#

can you legit like
start moving as soon as you see the purple circle under you because I feel like if I move as soon as it appears it's gonna take way longer to take to break my plant tether

#

2 tanks got in an argument over this in PF one day haha

#

one said you can, other said to just wait

#

I also use mith strat if that helps

quick verge
#

apparently you can move after they appear under you

#

rdm in my static does it and doesn't have issues with snapping the tether

tough gorge
#

interesting.

#

gonna need to try that out on our e9s reclear next week

quick verge
tough gorge
#

oh thank god

#

yeah I'm gonna have to try moving as soon as I see the purple circle during towers

#

so I can save sprint for 2nd RB protean

#

wait how'd they know it was gonna be protean way before the animation

subtle bone
#

Lolololol

quick verge
#

mistell maybe

#

was reaffirmed after the animation for protean was shown

subtle marsh
#

Yeah there's been times I've rushed at brambles but they still snapshot

subtle bone
#

They call protean when they see single orb on boss

subtle marsh
#

It's kinda convenient

subtle bone
#

Which is the animation for protean :)

quick verge
#

protean is called during the left/right orb, and called again after the protean orb is shown

tough gorge
#

but
why call out protean first?

quick verge
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

tough gorge
#

it's random

subtle bone
#

Hacks!! Jk lol its just a way of calling out whats coming next if i had to guess

#

Its either protean/partners

tough gorge
#

got me deadass wondering if it was somehow the opposite of the first 2nd art

subtle bone

Nah actually he first calls out proteans when the single orb is shown

Call + timing was correct

Whys it called blue uptime anyway? Isnt there only one way to do the mech

you can do uptime shenanigans

E10S voidgate amplifier uptime strat

subtle bone
#

i meant, i thought going intercards+in for when hes casting red (blue safe) is standard

#

unless there was another way to do that lol

dull radish
#

standard strat is to just do either color out at the edge of the arena

#

blue uptime is "wait no that's dumb you can stand close if blue is safe"

subtle bone
#

i see, normal way is a yikes erNoThx

dull radish
#

yeah I mean it was just a standard "this always works, you don't have to think about it much" so people just kinda did it that way

#

and then people thought about it for a sec

half my group didn't even realize you could do thunder safe on the outside until they went into PF haha

the real uptime strat is skipping it so any strat there is fine

Why tf would anybody use that

That's way too much downtime

subtle bone

uptime is just as easy

Yea probably... but this was just a week 1 strat lol

undone tide
#

week 1 strats kekw

subtle bone
#

All of the melee uptimes i see range have to go corner to corner?

stable basin
#

yeah

subtle bone
#

Trash imo

stable basin
#

the melee uptime one is toxic to casters

subtle bone
#

:)

dull radish
#

yeahhh

stable basin
#

And the reason ppl don't care very much is because it should be skippable even in PF eventually

dull radish
#

like, you can do it decently on them (though WHM I'd imagine it'd really suck, BLM you have to hold and use quite a bit of extra instants for mobility) but you're just kinda running a marathon

#

but yeah, skipping it will be the coziest strat

#

it's not really that much downtime for kachi or whatever it's called, just a bit awkward that you'd have to run out and face correctly as melee if you wanna time it well

subtle bone
#

Noticed its awkward if the melee tries to fit in 1 extra gcd

#

Which is the total loss of uptime there i believe

stable basin
#

It's greedable but really really bad if you fail

subtle bone
#

Yeah

#

I think you can fail 1 tower and be ok

#

To resolve the mech*

dull radish
#

it's just a damage down at one missed tower yeah, and two that gives the doom?

subtle bone
#

Yup

stable basin
#

technically recoverable but it's pretty likely the guy who fails greed gets bonked by their shadow and causes the second tower miss

subtle bone
#

Haha usually just the “oops” is enough for ppl to panic and get bonked by their shadows

arctic vortex
#

what does braindead strat mean?

#

in savage raids

torn kindle
#

Varies from fight to fight, but for E7S it meant stacking during the portals that shift your polarity

#

Since the aoes on each player don’t do enough to warrant being spread apart

subtle bone
#

Ppl call commonly used easy strats for a mechanic “braindead strat”

dull radish
#

though I'd argue it's not always necessarily the easiest strat, and personally I'd much prefer a name that's actually marginally descriptive since when you get the term for a few fights you won't necessarily know which one they're talking about

steep falcon

POTD isn’t a good testing ground for jobs, since everything dies so fast you can’t get a proper rotation

All 3 healers are good. Personally I enjoy WHM for dungeons and a mix of all 3 healers for other content depending on if I’m playing with friends

Im reinstalling FF14 and taking a break from WoW. I know leveling is slow but i love doing dungeons and tanking. How are the FF14 dungeons compared to wow. Right now Mythic plus is cancer and not fun in any capacity

lyric summit
#

they're not really endgame content

#

there's no scaling difficulty or anything like that, just zone in, pull mobs through a corridor and kill the boss, repeat until dungeon is over, a dungeon at level 80 isn't much different from a dungeon at 60 or 70

wouldn't be surprised if paladin could just solo it

the issue with paladin solo would be clearing the mobs before you enter the portal

having 1dps/tank + 1healer allows you to kill it in a reasonable time

stable basin
#

any general advice for p2?

#

oracle?

#

yea

#

Honestly it's pretty easy as long as you study the relativities, they're hello world-esque mechanics which means they look complicated but have pretty simple movement for each person if they focus on themselves

#

I know "just learn the fight lol" is like duh, but the bar for execution is very low except for double/triple apoc

#

no no you're valid

#

for apocs the important thing is tracking the explosions and being behind/in front of the correct line

#

im subbing for a static so we're just kinda

#

half-blinding it cuz i gtg soon

#

but i definitely wanna study it

#

what gives doom

#

is the shadow eye thingy?

#

yeah

quick verge
#

you can get doom from shadoweye, or getting hit twice(?) during relativity mechanics, which basically means you didn't resolve it correctly

stable basin
#

oh yea that too

#

also for like double apoc uhh rough diagram time

#

If the lights go next to where she jumps it looks kinda like this

#

and it's important to be on the red circle

#

though I think they actually go straight north and you'd be one over 🤔

quick verge
#

yeah they go to cardinals first

@stable basin we go to 3 then jump to 1 as 1 explode

pretty risky as u could eat the buster in your face but we made it possible

stable basin

So like how you go from 3 to 2 for swords in emex?

foggy latch
#

close to it

#

but much riskier

#

1st apo goes off about 2 secs left of darkest dance

#

if u dont react fast

#

most likely u gonna get bonked

#

then u need to place yourself right after to not get pushed to narnia or toward 3rd apo explosion

stable basin
#

I see

unkempt cypress
#

which strat is the blue uptime strat for e11?

dull radish
#

@unkempt cypress for turn of the heavens, if blue ends up being safe, you can stay mid instead of going out to the edge like you do if red is safe. Since center circle is always blue

unkempt cypress
#

oh so everyone stays near the center circle and tank with powder mark get away?

dull radish
#

oh, I guess I should specify that this is a bit more specifically for much later in the fight

#

after sundered sky

#

there's no powder mark, it's just you have the circles coupled with protean -> stack or spread

nova socket
#

This is only possible if the safe spot is blue (i.e. the boss channels fire when casting Turn of the heavens). Instead of going to the edge, there are tiny safe spots within melee range of the boss.

  1. Go to the safe spots circled here:

  2. Wait for proteans to go off. While waiting, look at the Elemental Brea...

so since you can handle the mechanic either way by simply going out, and you have plenty of room to deal with stuff

#

that's kinda what a lot of folks did early on

#

then you think for a second and go "no wait that's dumb"

#

thus there's an uptime strat for it, even if it's more obviously the better way to do it to begin with haha

stable basin
#

here's the toolbox for it

#

also is the timing on dual apoc tight

#

cuz it doesnt seem that bad

#

from toolbox

yeh in prog we just ran to narnia

#

no matter which

daring dome
#

i wonder if prismazic deception is gonna end up being skippable at all

#

9:50 is the best rn i think

#

50 secs of dps away

quick verge
#

maybe

#

probably only the most gamer of groups will skip it

#

still a bit of time before best in slot

#

feels like e11s is mostly optimized in terms of uptime at this point though

daring dome
#

yeah kinda

#

idk how theyre gonna shave off 50s

#

maybe slightly less, 45s

quick verge
#

crit farming :^)

daring dome

#

you need ~169k active dps to skip prismatic

#

that's preeetty spicy

nova socket
#

its going to be smth probably possible on absolute god run

quick verge
#

samurai 200% dcrit rate

#

please look forward to it

foggy latch
#

looks 160k is as far as you can go by normal means

#

on full bis

#

gotta fish 9k dps by crits

odd stream
#

can you even with nin/mnk, sam, blm, dnc?

#

would you bring mch or dnc?

stable basin
#

you'd bring dnc cuz it's the rng job

#

AST/SCH, SAM/NIN/DNC, caster probably BLM but RDM actually lookin kinda spicy, tanks definitely GNB and then idk what other

nova socket
#

mnk is kinda doggo for speed

odd stream
#

Rdm is kinda spicy rn

stable basin
#

rdm would be absolutely crazy if nin mudras did physical dmg

quick verge
#

pray for embolden change next patch

nova socket
#

rdm looks really good at least rn, but I expect blm to do better in speeds

#

especially cus in stuff like 9s you just lose a 6min burst

stable basin
#

feel like they'd have to nerf embolden % if they made it buff magic too

nova socket
#

cus killtime lol

odd stream
#

yeah nin ninjutsus being magic

#

is wierd

stable basin
#

It would be way too op if it also buffed healers + drk mana dump + nin mudras

odd stream
#

hyosho getting sweet 10% buff

nova socket
#

drk isnt good for 9s speed cus skipping 6min window on drk hurts so much
