Found this really cool video on the E9S tile phase

Where’s the meme version where everyone kills each other by stepping on their tile

#

Sounds tempting, though I probably want to see a e8s LR tile diagram

sinful brook
#

which strat

mint falcon
#

Exactly. There are a number of strats which makes the whole thing confusing. JP is using one of the sharingan strats so that might be what they use

#

At least it helps put the nails into the Illya coffin

i just want to see what the devs thought we should have used to solve it

Is this the place to ask about Eden?

Or should that go to questions and help?

here is fine

#

I got melted by the Ifirit arrival attack

#

Despite being further than other players even

#

As SCH

#

On Eden's verse: Furor

#

The other healer noticed it too and was asking the raid but nobody knew what caused ot

#

It has better armor than my co-healer too

#

Is there something special to that?

sinful brook
#

Ifrit doing the superhero landing is proximity based. If you're too close you get squashed

#

And depends on how much hp you had/vulns you had up

#

Or you ran too far and maybe walled yourself at the same time so it looked coincidental?

glossy lantern
#

Maybe, it was my first time running it so I'm def open to the idea of personal error

#

But it was weird to be melted despite being so far

#

can anyone on aether help me with some a9s runs? im trying to grind for my anima weapon but im not good enough for it and it literally will only take like 30 minutes of grinding

where be the lfg, partyfinder just aint cutting it, also sometimes the restrictions are too much and i cant join fights that ive cleared cause they want bis people to carry them

finite plank
#

is the e9s condensed particle beam a circle, or a cone

stable basin
#

yes

#

that's the healer stack right

#

during phasers?

#

cuz those are circles in anti air and cones in wide angle

finite plank
#

the tank thingy

#

i thought i fucked up and was gonna kill the group but no, i didn't, thinking it was a circle

stable basin
#

those are also cones in wide angle and circles in anti air

#

in anti air they are LORGE

finite plank
#

oh, so the size changes depending on AA/WA?

stable basin
#

the busters yea

#

wide angle ones are very thin cones

#

anti air ones are uhh

#

there's a strat where one or both tanks stand max melee directly in front of the boss

#

and the melees on the sides have to be careful not to get clipped by them

#

so they're about the size of the boss target circle

unborn yacht
#

You can actually just put both teams on one side so the tanks can invuln on top of each-other on the other for extra distance. Or one tank can take that spot as the other eats downtime.

#

The positioning for the rest of the team is tight enough that I wouldn't do it in PF tho

#

Can't remember if the distances were enough for both tanks to get uptime that way without invulns (one on boss flank, one in mid, team on the other boss flank)

Question, would I be able to ask about endgame gear in this chat? Just trying to find a place to talk gear because I have no idea what I’m doing and I’m trying upgrade my LvL 80 gear level 510 stuff up to 520-530 and I’m also wonder if it’s worth it at all because endwalker is in two months

sinful brook
#

You have 2 months, and revelation cap is 900/week

#

So you'll be able to grab enough for at least a couple jobs

#

And itll last you to 85 in the msq

Okie that’s good to hear I’m mainly trying to just do Dancer my main class

lethal wraith
#

hey hey people
I just ended up shadowbringer expansion
I'm currently in the situation where i have to grind to raise my ilvl or i can buy crafted gear
So what advice i need is: should i just buy crafted gear and go through questlines to high end content or grind stuff to progress "naturally"?

#

my gear is 422, eden require 425 and next msq dungeon 430

#

i saw that 510 crafted gear is relatively cheap

stable basin
#

just buy crafted tbh

#

There are other ways to get gear if you want to experience that/don't want to spend a lot on crafted

#

But don't be shy about using crafted to bump up your ilvl

lethal wraith
#

ok. thanks for advice
i think i will try to buy just bare minimum to progress

stable basin
#

one upside is you'll probably get most of the loot from eden since people generally don't roll on it much any more

lethal wraith
#

ok, will take in mind

How FFXIV's Meta Works

All jobs are good and viable in all content. The difference between meta and non-meta is minor, to the point that player skill is a significantly more important factor. Play what you enjoy/what interests you most, and you can make it work.

Oh ye i see that, though I still dont see why big lion behind me would face that way

even if im too close to boss

the healer fucked up as well

the healer was in the wrong position and baited the lion thru middle

you died to the two cleaves cus you were hugging the boss

#
What are the real stat weights?
torn ether
#

lmao, ok xD will keep this in mind!

still inlet
#

If you want the pragmatic approach, just go with max ilvl until/unless you're dealing with final gear sets

#

Substat optimisation when against main stat is something that's far more complex than what it aims to solve, when players can go with simpler options and it'll be more than good enough. Any differences won't be holding you back in content

#

If you're on BLM, then even more so the case to just go with whatever until you can build to a desired gcd set. If you're on RDM/SMN, then max out ilvl while keeping SpS low

#

what's the cause of death for the dark players?

#

i thought it was
dark = get away, but not too far
light = do not touch light beacon

#

im guessing i mistook dark and it should've been
dark = get away, but don't touch light beacon either?

lyric summit
#

just looks like way too far from the beacon

#

should've been like, standing on the other side of the waymark

#

like the whm

#

they dont interact with the light beacon

finite plank
#

... this is confusing now

#

difference in this clip has the light beacon standing more behind the waymark

#

i can barely see the difference, but im guessing 2nd clip had drk beacon players stand more closer?

lyric summit
#

they didnt die so, yes

wild ether
#

the stack is kinda far

#

just stand next to marker

dull radish
#

yeah realistically dark beacon should be pretty close and dark debuff people should be right in front of them. There's no issue with standing close to each other there. Dark beacon shouldn't have to disengage and run far out of melee range or anything

#

you can't fail dark debuff by being too close to anyone, you only fail it by being too far away from dark beacon after the forced movement

#

so if you start right next to each other, you'll be fine

finite plank
#

and dark users have no interaction with light, right?...

#

feels like deja vu till the incident strikes again

dull radish
#

correct

#

dark debuff only cares about not being too far from dark beacon after the movement.
light debuff only care about not being too close to light beacon after the movement.
dark beacon/light beacon can only screw up other people by being in a bad spot (like light beacon being too close beforehand, or dark beacon being too far away beforehand)

#

light/dark are two completely separate mechanics with no interaction between each other

#

a common mistake is for the dark beacon to run far out away from the boss before the movement, which can sometimes kill dark debuff people if they don't adjust closer to beacon before the movement

finite plank
#

do dark players die if they just stand on the dark beacon?

dull radish
#

no

lyric summit
#

no, but if you're literally standing on top of the guy you're gonna run into a random direction like the wall

#

opposite edges of a waymark is like close enough to live but apart enough to aim yourself

dull radish
#

yeah, you want to be close to the dark beacon, but making sure you're like right next to them so you run in a safe direction

#

it's not that nuanced of a thing overall

#

the main failure point is really just being too far away from the beacon (or notably them moving too far away beforehand)

versed vapor
#

Position light beacon on wall ish

#

Left of D marker

#

Dark has no interaction with light

#

But if beacon dies all color of that beacon dies

#

In that one it was that one dude's error yes but the run could have been saved had the other beacon moved further

#

Dark beacon should be on B marker ish

#

PT should be on boss hitbox

finite plank
#

....

#

wdym light beacon was too close

versed vapor

So its

there was nothing wrong with light

light was fine

dark had issues

by rika and vis

versed vapor
#

Oh yeah

#

Dark was too far eh

#

Too right of B marker

dull radish
#

yeah, already been explained haha

finite plank
#

it's more accurate to say everyone with dark disregarded the fact that people die if too far from dark beacon

#

cause none of us stood on the intended waymark

versed vapor
versed vapor
#

Like where the thiCC red circle is

dull radish
#

again, it's not a super nuanced thing

versed vapor
#

Yeah

dull radish
#

the biggest deal is the dark beacon not disengaging too far out

versed vapor
#

Mhmm

#

In that case he was too far

dull radish
#

don't really have to explain it a 3rd (or 4th) time now?

think we're good

Yep yep mb xD just saw it on mobile

Just either once or twice clockwise

Not a thing in pug

you don't have to do a back and forth movement

with reverse Z or whatever

O i must have had a weird experience with reverse Z

Its the one on clees right

I don't remember what's on clees guide

versed vapor
#

Its SE NW NE SW

Ive never done reverse Z then

#

Ig ill just read it manually

#

If its reverse Z based on starting position

#

You move CCW instead?

sinful brook
#

ye

#

just make sure you start from where 4th nail/ifrit is

dull radish
#

yeah, dodging towards where the first dash is from the 4th spot. If that ifrit is blue, you stop where the first dash hit, otherwise you go to the next spot and stop there

Would it be possible to Party Find a group for TEA? Just how difficult is it? Is a static necessary

how common is it for groups to be able to prog through uwu or cob in a weekend? I work long hours weekdays and sometimes saturday as well, so the only time I have to do hard content is the weekend

mutliple weekends sure

jaunty mist

in that case I will never be able to clear Ultimates lmao, my job does not allow it

covert ledge

called ultimates for a reason, they arent gonna be quick to do

you could always party finder it on your off time, but again, it aint gonna be quick

most ulti statics actually only run like 6-10 hours/week

#

could do that on weekends

jaunty mist
#

i def have the focus to sit down for 8 hours straight and prog lmao

but it's usually better to spread the prog out over the week so you don't spend half your time de-rusting for a fight you haven't done for almost a week

some statics do like sat and sunday nights

most of the heavensward relics are done most easily just by getting lots of tomestones of poetics

if you have patience and want to level characters, MSQ roulette is also a good way of getting poetics

ARR ones require the most grinding

zinc jetty

yeah ive heard, im just tired of the poetics farm

I wouldn't farm poetics, they kinda just flow in naturally

MSQ roulette is also like an easy 700+ daily

Could someone help clarify a mechanic in e12s?
During advanced relativity, if the dps don't get fire, how do people normally split into two groups and make sure that there aren't 2 aeros or 2 glares on one side?

dull radish
#

so, you initially plan to split up into two preassigned light parties--1 tank, 1 healer, 2 dps in each group.

If both dps in a group have the same aero/eye debuffs (like, both have double aero for example), the other group will have the same issue with their debuffs. So, you simply designate one dps in each group to swap to the other group if your light party dps have the same ones

glossy musk
#

Split into normal light parties. Pre-designate two people to swap if you need to

dull radish
#

handily enough, that's the only swap that has to potentially be done, is just swapping two dps, and it can always be the same people

dull radish
#

working fine on my end. I dunno that it'd specifically be a browser problem, but you could try in a different browser or in incognito/private browsing or whatever

#

and yeah, BLU relativities will be a little bit more interesting, but probably not too bad. I can imagine there's a decent chance that you end up being in the tank/healer group or the dps group for mechanics like how it works for some other fights

glossy musk
#

I’m assuming you can do priorities pretty easily for it. That’s what we did with t8 death bombs

Just unlocked Alexander savage raids and the queue is terrible

You want to use party finder

Savage raids aren’t even a part of mentor roulette so you really won’t find anything on the duty finder

#

On avg they are one step above extreme trials, though

bronze rover

and the tier

#

in most cases, the the first floor is generally the same difficulty as an ex

the second floor is a bit more difficult

#

the third floor is more difficult

and the fourth floor is a complete step above

though difficulty is perceived differently by the player

thorn plaza
#

A4S is less difficult and more poorly designed

#

One of the mechanics was so bad people opted to use a sac strat instead of do it normally

the poor design came from you being able to let nisis drop and sac pentacle

Anyone have some advice on finding a static when you don t really have logs or anything? I’m trying to get into Endwalker content with a steady group, but I haven’t really cleared any savage content since HW

lament badge
#

you can try doing current savage content and getting some logs in, even if they are echo

#

e9 in particular is pretty simple to pug

sinful brook
#

Can start a group too

empty bloom
#

Do the logs mean anything without a clear though? I feel like if I fight ends prematurely they aren’t exactly accurate LOL

dull radish
#

well wipe logs do have some value, but more in like analysis of what went wrong on a given pull, but what they're talking about there is getting some clears with pugs in PF--especially with echo, you have a lot more leeway with things and can get some experience/logs up. Just to kinda get started with things at least

2 purples above should get you into a good beginner static

anyone wanna spam antitower for the bitter memories? i need 4 more and the q times are long

subtle cave
#

what is the timing point at which double dotting - or single dotting - losing value depending on the % of health the boss has? 10s? 15s?

#

where the loss in gcd's from dotting is > than the damage done by them

#

ik it'd be diff for healers/brd/smn

stable basin
#

If dot base potency plus (tick potency)x(time remaining/3) is less than base potency of skill you'd use instead

subtle cave
#

thank you for the math

#

so lets use whm as an example with 10s remaining on the boss, presuming we'd just use glare... cos you're a whm

#

dia ticks 120 initially, 30 as a dot tick

stable basin
#

10s means 3 ticks of dia dot (actually potentially 4), 120 + 3x60 = 300

subtle cave
#

ah fuck that's more complex

stable basin
#

which is equal to glare

subtle cave
stable basin
#

if you got 4 ticks it would be better

sam on the other hand takes like 48 seconds for hingan banana to beat midare

#

or maybe 42 I forget

subtle cave
#

what about if you don't have tri up

#

and have to hardcast double dots

#

2 target

#

or - even disregarding that

#

lets assume normal smn rotation loop

#

you have to double dot in tea, idk how long is left idk how long bjcc lasts

#

hardcast both

#

what's the gain/loss there

#

which would be after phoenix

stable basin
#

bio/miasma are 45p pet tick vs ruin 3's 200 so you need 7 ticks to come out ahead

#

which is 18~21 seconds

subtle cave
#

2 target tho?

#

half that?

#

cos you're losing 4gcd's

stable basin
#

You'd look at each one individually

#

Like if there were 20 seconds left in the phase and neither boss had a dot you'd cast one bio then ruin for the rest of the time

#

cuz the one is worth and after that it's not

subtle cave
#

one bio on each?

stable basin
#

just one period

#

cuz the first bio you'd cast would tick 7 times (probably)

#

and the rest would tick 6 or fewer

subtle cave
#

yeah

#

assuming you're getting optimal ticks

stable basin
#

You're just replacing ruin 3s in 2target anyway so hardcast dots vs ruin doesn't change just off that

subtle cave
#

hmm

stable basin
#

there's also the question of if bane is worth instead and I'm not equipped to answer that

subtle cave
#

that's if they're close when you need to redot

#

but also don't understand enough there

#

no wait

#

it'd be 120pot/tick

#

i don't think you'd look individually cats

#

why do you think you would?

stable basin
#

because your decision on what to press for any given gcd is just the value judgement for that specific gcd

subtle cave
#

of course

stable basin
#

if you double dotted both targets that's 180p per tick while losing 710 potency from lost ruin 3

subtle cave
#

so you're saying it could be a gain to use bio and miasma on one, and bio on another, losing miasma?

#

brain math

stable basin
#

that's not different from the judgement of spending 2 gcds losing 355 upfront potency for 90p dot ticks

#

If the bosses are about to die you'd think about each gcd in sequence because the value is based on time remaining and it takes some time to cast them all

#

but looking at it in the middle of the phase you can just compare one cast to one cast

subtle cave
#

assuming you have a consistent kill time you can work this easily

#

but if it sways +-5s

#

then re double double dotting, dotting one or dotting 2+1 could be be efficient

stable basin
#

yea

whenever u enter life at 80

#

its duration will be static 30s

#

but at lvl 70
it's up to at what duration u have currently for botd
which sometimes can cause u to lose usage of 1 nastrond

#

my question is should i activate life like lvl 80 so it lines up normally with buff or delay life so u enter it when u get most of it's duration?

quick verge
#

you just wait until you have 23s+ on botd before you enter life

#

reactivate botd if it'll help you get to 23s+ sooner

#

if there's a short phase where you can't get 3x nastrond then just enter whenever

#

you get 20s minimum

naive shale
#

ah i see

#

ayt thankies biscuit o/

mighty agate
#

Wait botd duration doesn't freeze upon getting lofd ?

still inlet
# subtle cave brain

Hadn't read this, but further considerations that can impact the decisions in a general sense:

  • Buff windows and ticks from snapshots that may linger (whether synergy windows, or things like bard song effects). It's never just about baseline potency, but total expected potencies given any rates and multipliers present
  • Bane was touched on, as long as targets are in range to the 8y from the source's center, you would use Bane if it applied the weaker ticks to the 2nd target if the 2nd target has no DoTs (or will have no DoTs, then you must compare potencies vs remaining durations to see if worth), then you have to figure out whether how many hardcasts on top of that are still worth
  • consider mapping out the damage trees based on available decisions. That'll give the most accurate solution, but if your pushes are super variable, gl hf 😄

Although this won't matter come Endwalker for SMN (and Bane for probably no one), it's still a useful practice to work these out for jobs that still have DoTs to think about

I have 475 gear but people only letting people@with bis do a raid to get the bis gear ;-;

stable basin
#

if you have close to bis this should work too

#

like ilvl 520 + materias + food should be good enough

sinful brook
#

The nice part about 475 gear is its not ilvl synced

#

This means materia melds can be shoved in

#

So grabbing a TEA bis is a pretty good idea

#

UWU and UCOB are a bit different in that were well above the ilvl to sync and cap out both substats

#

So its not that you can't get a bis

#

But its not as necessary to make the effort if you're well above the ilvl

#

!faq ultimatesync

storm frostBOT

Syncing Gear for Ultimates

Sufficiently high item-level gear can cap both substats when synced down. Similarly, item-level 515 and 535 relics can have substats allocated so that fewer substats are lost to the sync (see !faq ilvlsync for more info on how gear syncing works).

See the calculator below
https://bit.ly/XIVGearSyncCalc
Tanks can instead use their standard gear calc, which supports 70 sync and relics

!faq savageloot

What floors of savage drop which items?

Per tier:
First floor: (Belt/Earring/Necklace/Bracelet/Ring) x3
Second floor: (Head/Gloves/Boots) x2 + Weapon Tomestone + Tomestone Accessory upgrade
Third floor: Head/Gloves/Boots + Legs + Tomestone Armor upgrade + Tomestone Weapon upgrade
Fourth floor: Weapon + Chest + Random single weapon + Mount + Minion

Loot Rules: Following each weekly reset, every player has a chance to obtain loot from the Savage encounters of the current raid tier. Upon clearing each floor, you will obtain 1 book specific to that fight (e.g. Book of Anamorphosis) and a chance to roll on the loot from that floor. Regardless of if you obtained loot from your weekly clear, you will be barred from rolling on loot from the same encounter until the next weekly reset.

Entering an encounter before clearing the previous floor(s) will relinquish all rewards from previously uncleared floors. (e.g. Entering E12S before clearing E9S for the week will relinquish loot from E9S, E10S, and E11S.) You will lose a chance to earn a book and your chance to roll on any loot that drops that week.

The number of players in your party that have cleared/skipped the encounter for the week will also affect the loot you will get after clearing the encounter.
0 players cleared: 2 chests
1-4 players cleared: 1 chest
5-8 players cleared: 0 chests

wat does that mean 😭

finite plank

probably below average

somber crest
#

does it mean top 34, better then 34 percent of players

#

or like is it out of a 100

finite plank
#

probably "log scored 34% in current logs"

dull radish
#

it's a percentile compared to all other uploads for that job in that fight. The best you've done historically (at time of upload of the log, compared to others uploaded before it) was 34th percentile.

It's not exactly that you've done better than 34% of players, but it's roughly that (more accurately, if you put all of the logs in percentile buckets from 0 at the lowest parse to 100 at the top, you'd be in the 34th one). So yes, on the lower side

wheat marsh
#

idk l;ately if you're getting clears i think you're doing better than average

somber crest
dull radish
#

all star points are based on percentile as well as how far away you are numerically from the very top run as well. 120 is the maximum all star points you can have for a fight (for some content the max points are a bit different though), the person with 100th percentile on the fight has 120. The person all the way down with the worst parse as their best for the fight has 0

#

since the rdps you do is actually taken into the equation, even with a bit lower parse you might have slightly more all star points than you'd expect (since 0th percentile is usually incredibly low, like dead for the whole fight)

wheat marsh
#

its taking 5-6 groups to get a group that clears e9s/e10s lately

lilac cipher
#

I reckon you shouldn't worry about parse till you finished the whole tier and achieve BiS

#

get that clear for the whole tier, get your BiS and then you worry about parse and start a parse run, learn a prase strat etc

#

worrying about parse without having a BiS will slow you down in the long run

dull radish
#

you can absolutely worry about your parse pre-BiS. Of course you can't expect the world like getting top parses, but taking note of how you can improve along the way is exceedingly beneficial. Not to focus on high numbers, but to focus on doing things better and fixing mistakes.

Also, don't really have to do like parse runs to get good numbers, and there's not really "parse strats"--even if you're doing a slightly less favorable strat you're probably not losing a ton for it, and you can keep that in mind with how much you're doing and where you can improve

a lot of a decent parse comes down to good fundamentals like ABC, not dying, etc. being able to press buttons and do the mechanics can be done even without bis

#

there are a few ways to gauge someone

#

if someone's in full craft gear, and they get green and checking it on xivanalysis with little issues, like having a 97-99% uptime, they're good

#

if it's someone in crypt gear, and they get a green and checking it, they have issues if there's an uptime problem like somehow getting 80% uptime or they died

I think it's good to have goals in mind, but overall the focus should be on improvement clear to clear, whether you're newer to the fight or not, BiS or not, try to make each pull be better than the last one (or help you figure things out to do better, since sometimes test pulls here or there to change stuff up, even if worse, can give a lot of insight)

#

e10s damage down is common if someone messes up a shadow

#

personally i wouldnt worry about a parse without a static

#

but i also see pretty bad PF groups

finite plank
#

in craft gear, and probably broken log cause i uploaded it to JP instead of NA, I got a grey as gnb which i don't normally play

wheat marsh
#

also shows 2.5k dps is what 60% in parse logs? that's another thing. if it get skewed to the point where its 1k dps between 20 and 80 the % is a bit unreliable

finite plank
#

these were the mistakes i made in that run while clipping from high ping, to add, my timing's wrong. it'll still show this very important thing to look at when learning

wheat marsh
#

oh 70% XD

finite plank
#

this is the other gnb who were much better than me and in better gear that's probably bis

wheat marsh
#

what's desired GNB SkS?

nova socket
#

2.43

wheat marsh
#

oh XD well i guess i have no excuse for not getting 9 GCDs in no mercy XD

nova socket
#

you can do 9NMs as low as 2.47 or 2.48 I think

wheat marsh
#

well im more at 2.35 so XD but my focus has been more warrior, nowhere near recommended gear though

#

uptime though still havent gotten proper numbers without being ranged

finite plank
#

forgot to mention, it was diaex, so, if the uptime's somehow below 95%~ ish, there's a problem

wheat marsh
#

seem to get around 90% without deaths in savage

#

diamond dog downtime is annoying for SMN XD

dull radish
#

it shouldn't be?

finite plank
#

i dont play smn, but i also don't see what could be annoying for smn in diaex

wheat marsh
#

getting max value from bahamut and firebird without too much drift? then again i dont really do anything but 110

dull radish
#

oh, I misread and saw you say savage, then dog and downtime, and thought you were talking about 10

lilac cipher
#

What I meant about not worrying about parse is getting purple up or something like that, green and blue are totally fine. It doesn't mean you can free style your class and do whatever you like

finite plank
#

first dog appearance in diaex, should be fire bird

#

with burst phase

#

2nd dog is filler, 3rd bahamut with another burst and 4th in firebird again and last is filler again before the burst

#

hi, question for you experienced players, how much is the jump up on the difficulty level for savage compared to extreme trials, like for example sos ex vs e9s?

#

and is it something that you can reasonably expect to pf and learn over time, or something you really need a static for

sinful brook
#

You can theoretically clear almost anything via pf

#

E9s is a first floor fight and generally considered not too challenging

#

But that said were like 6 weeks from endwalker so the quality of pf has deteriorated heavily compared to week 1

#

Itll still be possible to clear but be prepared to spend lots of pfs suffering a bit

quiet palm
#

gotcha, which is why i asked "reasonably" haha

#

thanks

#

so what's the difficulty jump like, for a new player that only cleared ex trials before

sinful brook
#

Its not too bad tbh

nova socket
#

First fights are generally pretty close to harder extreme trials

#

later fights get reasonable harder

quiet palm
#

cool, thank you!

sinful brook
#

Echo does give a lot more leeway though

#

So just jump in tbh

what's everyones favorite endgame content

rotund hedge
#

just got back to the game after about a year off, but from what i did when i played in 5.2 or 5.3 savages were a lot of fun. You need to pay attention, coordinate with the team, they reward you pretty well imo, and they dont take that long to complete

#

at least you dont need 200 hours of progging lol

sinful brook
#

You don't need 200 hours of prog to clear anything in this game tbh

#

200 hours is a lot of time

#

Even for ultimates the average is about 60 to 100 hours

Anyone on primal want to do Alexander Savage?

Ultimate is the only thing I haven't gotten burnt out on. I meet with my static regularly to prog TEA, but I don't do anything else on XIV.

#

Savage usually takes less than 30 hours to prog for normal team (1st boss to end)
Ultimates on average takes around 50-60 hours ? UWU might only take 20ish or less, considering not much going on there

#

should hope not to take 100 hours for tea in the year of our lord two thousand onescore plus one

I always wanted to do Delubrum Reginae Savage, but with the player requirement it uh...has not really happened yet. I was wondering if there's a better way than just to try and find people with the Party Finder, or if people here would be interested in it / have already completed it even

Also how long its going to take to get the coffer?

I realyl need the coffer for my rdm glamour

still a SHB ex but it has echo and was from last tier

dont really need a coffer, its two totems per kill

think you need 5 per piece?

rugged hill

That sounds a bit much T-T

#

How easy it is compared to dancing plague?

We can skip dancing plague mech by now i believe

its a bit harder

gotta respect the mechanics a bit

but there's nothing like numbers or swords if thats what you mean

If you have a good enough group, you basically skip the entire last phase

Hey guys I'm wanting to push end game content next expansion and was wondering, do we have an idea yet which healer job will do the most DMG (or be the most useful) in ultimate content? And which melee dps jobs will likely be at the top?

quick verge

no
no

neither really matters, your skill with the class matters more

its easy to tell when someone isnt pulling their weight in savage

Yeh I suppose I'd rather improve my skill in the one that will be most valuable to the team :(

quick verge
#

they're all most likely going to be fine

#

pick 2 jobs to get good at if you think the state of a job is going to be bad by the time hard content drops

stable basin
#

one of the things I've noticed wrt damage here as opposed to wow is that there's far less discrepancy between damage output, player skill seems to matter more

ostensibly the most valuable thing to the team is whatever you are good at

#

It's worth mentioning that while that's the ideal, it's not always the case. Expansion releases can be especially rough in job dps balance, as Shadowbringers proved to be one of the worst examples with 5.0. It's only after multiple adjustments that things were much better and closer.

It's entirely possible, as a result, that job DPS balance in 6.0 is also going to be awful in some cases, then by 6.0x and 6.1 they'll correct it enough. Or maybe we'll have a nice release where jobs are all where abouts they should be

torn kindle
#

yeah some jobs were horrifically jank on 5.0 launch, like Scholar and Samurai

#

Scholar didn't have Energy Drain for a bit, so the only option to use your aetherflow on was healing, which made some people feel pressured to do needless healing to not waste stacks before aetherflow was ready again

#

Samurai also lost Hagakure for a bit, which made managing Tsubame's cooldown a nightmare to use without drifting your GCD or wasting Sen by not spending it

sinful brook
#

Shoha haha

torn kindle
#

Imagine having your new capstone ability tied to sitting in a downtime skill long enough

#

Astrologian's Play ability was also bugged to where it didn't queue into the GCD, so it was basically like using a macro'd skill

#

Also 5.0 AST was very MP starved

#

tbh, AST has had a recurring theme of "bad at expansion start, overbuffed halfway through"

#

Maybe Endwalker will break the pattern

#

!faq sss

storm frostBOT
#
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
covert ledge
#

also

#

sss doesnt have mechanics

#

so i dont think that accurately even tells you the dps youd do in an actual raid scenario

#

on top of those other things

hi. I have a question regarding the aetheric boom phase in UwU. so there are 4 pairs of orbs connected to each other right? how does this work exactly cause our tanks seems to be taking a lot of damage. if you pop both orbs of 1 pair, does it explode independently causing more damage? or should you always soak only 1 orb per pair?

stable basin
#

Touching an orb pops the pair and does one instance of damage. Tanks are getting chewed up because it just hits that hard. Make sure to invuln the second+third homing lasers (and skip the fourth), only use short mit like tbn/sheltron in suppression, and tank lb1 at boom cast + every cd they have to survive

#

even then you probably want an excog or something on the mt and have both healers swift heals to help out both stacks between sets

Hey all, not sure if this is the right place to ask but, I'm looking to get through all the Eden raids to unlock Savage. What's the best way to go about getting that done, assuming I don't have a static or FC or any friends to help (yet)? Duty finder seems to be taking a while and there's nothing in Party finder. Is there a discord channel for that sort of thing? Most of them seem more about long-term recruitment...
