Do we already know what gear will drop from each savage raid?

#

The first one is accessories?

lilac cipher
#

accessories most likely from floor 1

lyric summit
#

should be the same as last expansion

lilac cipher
#

afaik should be the same pattern as eden

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

Nice

#

A player in my Japanese Discord said the crafted gear will be sold as a set

#

And it will be much more expensive to buy stuff independently

#

Also he said you still have to compare the savage accessories with the crafted gear because in some cases the crafted gear will be stronger?

lilac cipher
#

not sure, cause of the stats squish?

lyric summit
#

that rarely happens, like 1 crafted accesory is stronger for 1 random job instead of tome/savage per tier

lilac cipher
#

but savage gear is probably better cause higher main stats

lyric summit
#

there's a 20 ilvl difference so the stats on tome/raid gear must be truly ass for crafted to be bis

lilac cipher
#

maybe he means for healers stuff? the piety and that shenanigans

lyric summit
#

yeah its usually healers or tanks especially bc of warrior crit fuckery, or something along those lines

pure tulip
#

He said there is no 20 level difference

sinful brook
#

even for tanks war didn't take the crafted ring last tier

pure tulip
#

He said the item level of the raid gear and the crafted gear will be the same?

#

The crafted gear is called 新式

lyric summit
#

then what's the point of doing savage raids?

#

they wouldn't implement gear like that

pure tulip
#

He said some of the gear will be stronger and some won't

lyric summit
#

last raid tier, exarchic gear (crafted) was 510, edenchoir (raid) was 530, same for all of eden, omega, alexander

lilac cipher
#

that's pretty vague hehe

lyric summit
#

so it will almost definitely be the same

quick verge
#

are they talking about normal mode gear

#

and crafted

sinful brook
#

normal mode and crafted are equal ilvl

#

but savage is not

frank quiver
pure tulip
#

OK, he was talking about some other gear that you need before you get savage gear

#

He said the Japanese server is strict and if you try to go into savage raids with weak gear you will be put on a blacklist lol

sinful brook
#

its the case here too

#

being undergeared is bad

frank quiver
#

Eh. I’m sure the JP folks are harsher on that front.

finite plank
#

they check logs

#

they're very suspicious of non jp players but hey, I'm equally suspicious of jp players due to encountering dumb fuck jp players

#

it's been to the point if they actually declare "jp only" has been jp players that actually sucked

#

so it should be the same as everywhere else

finite plank
plucky pier
#

Anyone know about the dummy in 6.0 stone sky and sea that is in japanese? Is that the savage dummy accidentally put in?

finite plank
#

reported text and translation bug

kind portal
#

Huh... Savage loot seems to favor master loot

lyric summit
#

?

#

in the same sense as an extreme trial mount farm favors master loot cause you can get the mount maybe

#

aka pretty much no one will join you cause they're there for it/loot too

whole hornet
#

Soooo

pure tulip
#

I'm playing with some Japanese players and they said when getting loot at the end you should pass on everything you don't want and just leave what you want without pressing "Need". Why is that? I don't understand

#

I couldn't understand their explanation of why, and they said it was hard to explain

verbal oak
#

for normal raid?

#

p1-4

pure tulip
#

Yeah

verbal oak
#

bc if you roll on everything you're locked to 1 piece per instance per week

#

so if you get 3 chestpieces and 1 boot

#

its useless til next week

pure tulip
#

If I pass on everything I don't want then I don't see how I would get different things

verbal oak
#

so only roll on what you want rather than everything

pure tulip
#

Like right now I only want chest, so I always pass on everything but chest

verbal oak
pure tulip
#

I do do that

#

They said don't roll need on anything

verbal oak
#

that is strange...

pure tulip
#

Just leave the remaining thing you want and pass on everything else

verbal oak
#

oh maybe its for other players to leave?

#

so you only roll on that piece or something against those players ig

#

this was DF right?

pure tulip
#

What is DF?

verbal oak
#

duty finder

pure tulip
#

They said your chance of getting what you want will go up because people who roll greed/need on everything will end up getting something else, and you will only roll need with the people who need the one thing you need

#

That's as much as I could understand. It's still not quite crystal clear to me

verbal oak
#

that makes sense i suppose

#

but you could also just... re-do the fight if you dont get what you need

#

oh well, i guess you could follow there advice if its a custom

stable basin
#

if I see people with sub-580 or no materias or something I'll blacklist them

#

because if they can't even be bothered to do that will they be bothered to pot and stuff at enrage?

pearl flicker
#

is ex2 harder than ex1?

verbal oak
#

a bit

pearl flicker
#

ooh okok

lyric summit
#

ex1 you can just follow someone around to solve every mechanic which is easy, but telling all the safespots yourself is a bit harder than ex2 mechanics imo

pearl flicker
#

i just went through like 2 hrs of trying to learn ex2 (not even doing it yet cuz im scared of party finder) bc i mixed up the order so now i gotta go and practice ex2 somehow and then learn ex1 suspect_eyes

unkempt remnant
#

how is the usual process for savage beginning. you want full pentameld gear?

torn kindle
#

Full i570 with whatever bits of i580 will be enough for the first two fights of the savage tier assuming minimal deaths

#

You’ll really want full 580 for the 3rd and 4th fight

ember cosmos
#

full pentameld isnt necessary its extremely expensive and really something that only bleeding edge raiders do to try to absolutelyu minmax gear and damage output

stable basin
#

Does anyone think that there will be augmented EX2 weapons in the future?

ember cosmos
#

no

#

there are never augmented versions of primal weapons if by augmented you mean higher ilvl
there are often glowy versions but thsoe take forever to come out

stable basin
#

Yeah glowy is all I care about

ember cosmos
#

ah then yeah that wiklll likely tkae a while

stable basin
#

Cool plenty of time to accidentally roll a divine crystal

torn kindle
#

The time they take to make a crafted version wildly varies

#

Zurvan was in 3.5, but didn’t get glowy weapons until like 5.4

#

And Hades was 5.1 and got it in 5.4 or 5.5

ember cosmos
#

well with the exception of hades its often been at minimum the following expansion

torn kindle
#

Yeah Hades was the first time since ARR that they did current expansion

ember cosmos
#

honestly i wish theyd release it with the trial when it comes out the model for the weapon ad the crafting material to make it already exist after all
kinda buggs me when they make us wait for seemingly no reason

frank quiver
#

But yeah, you don’t need to get pentamelded gear for entry savage.

#

Tomes & normal drops should suffice.

#

You could gear from the EX trials as well if you’re impatient and don’t want to wait for the weekly resets.

vernal breach
#

where has this been all my life

#

going to be honest tho, i cant be arsed to check snakes, which sometimes have you turn your camera 180 to see

ember cosmos
#

honestly that's not even the biggest issue
they can be really hard to see at times with all the other glowing shit going on
they need to do something about the snakes actual visuals so that stand out more

vernal breach
#

i only notice the visibility issue during the part where He slams the ground

#

cuz he all hunches over and the snakes are hiding behind his model

#

that shit is dumb

ember cosmos
#

thats the one i never have an issue on
i ntic it when you got the four birds or whatever adn they are hidden behind them

vernal breach
#

depends, if they're infront of to the side of me, i'll prolly notice

#

i just dont get why they can spawn directly behind

#

Based on the previous expansion, when do they normally start selling the extreme mount at the totem shop?

steady pebble
#

.2 for the initial extremes

vernal breach
#

so uuh... where does the OT stand during shiva spread in mommy ex
tradition tells me its obviously south
but theres also no real strategic advantage to having the OT there and it seems my melees agree ;l

#

infact, its kinda dangerous there because nobody, and i mean absolutely nobody.. not even range dps
are standing NE/NW

#

so theres just 7 dudes standing around the southern hemisphere of the boss

round needle
#

you can have tank off tank NS and melees EW

#

healers SE SW

#

ranged NE NW

#

that ensures space for ice spreads

#

and ranged at the diagonals

covert ledge
#

idk about aether but its literally just "Adjust" in primal

#

otherwise a few rare parties assign clock spots

ember cosmos
#

im on aether and most groups i end up in its not planned that extensively its more like "just try not to overlap ice circles"
theres enough time for those mechanics for people to adjust and the dps check for the fight is more than generous enough that you dont need such precise planning
the only time its ever an issue is if we get ice combioned with a move out mechanic and melee forget to stay out for ice. ive done that a couple times where muscle memory kicks in and i use a movement skill to reengage asap to keep dpsing lol

quick verge
#

melee se/sw, rest who cares

#

dont die

vernal breach
#

that said, is it worth using the aoe buttons during the add phase?
it appears to do less damage than me single target rotation on 2 targets...

but like, i suppose its "3 targets" if i also hit a crystal

#

but them crystals are pretty tanky

#

orz

dull radish
#

if the crystal is tethered and has the vuln down, it's not really worthwhile to hit/won't really be included if your AoE is only efficient at 3+ targets.

Some jobs can have some gains at 2 targets for some elements of AoE and can take advantage of that, especially if they're ranged (like, BLM can cleave with Foul instead of using Xeno, use HB2/HF2 to change instead of B3/F3, and instant Flare on two targets > Despair)

Us server still fucked?

covert ledge
#

during peak its gotten a little better depending on server but aether and some primal servers are still pretty fucked

stable basin
#

So got a question about on Tuesday when savage releases. I wanna get into savage, is getting a static required or is using the party finder/raid finder okay?

cobalt fog
steady pebble
#

you don't need a static

#

but i would suggest keeping in mind that week 1 clear of all floors is not likely thru pf

#

can be done, but best to set expectations and assuming it'll probably be like week 2/3 for a full clear of savage if you're pfing

stable basin
cobalt fog
#

also i think its pretty late to find static rn

#

also many statics requires u to have some logs or exp before applying

stable basin
#

Okay that's fine! I'll just duty/raid/party finder it and see how it goes

cobalt fog
#

PF is your best bet

#

no one really uses Raid Finder afaik (unless u r in JP)

stable basin
#

Okay! Cool

royal yacht
#

Does anyone know of a good discord for recruitment?

dusty ridge
#

I think there are a few more but you can try this one

glass tendon
#

I'm finally done with the MSQs and Pandaemonium looks heavy. Are we still in the stage where I can join and be expected to be new (I'll look up guides of course)?

dull radish
#

you will always be able to do that for normal mode raids like that

#

they're very casual and extremely doable in DF, lot of people don't even look anything up on them beforehand and you still will generally get by fine

silk skiff
#

because i had a debate about this earlier

what do you think the "average" player of endgame content(extreme, Savage) would prefer in their group(average meaning the normal player, who wont go for a week 1 or 2 kill, who isnt gonna speedkill it later etc)for progression (not for farm, solely for the progression/learning phase) Pure DPS on every class, including tanks and healers, or utility options to cover and recover from mistakes to be able to prog further

drowsy agate
#

i mean

#

"pure dps" and "utility options" aren't mutually exclusive

#

you can easily have both

#

are you asking if they'd rather have a SAM and a BLM vs having a RDM and a DNC?

#

the average player doesn't give a fuck, they just want their party to fill

silk skiff
torn kindle
#

Ideally have 2 melee and 2 ranged/caster DPS

silk skiff
#

for Offtank mostly

drowsy agate
#

the average player isn't going to be picky

#

it's whoever joins the party first

#

lol

#

whether it's a DRK or a PLD doesn't matter, like I said they just want the party to fill so they can get in the fight

silk skiff
#

the argument went basicaly "for prog pld may be better as he has more utility to cover for mistakes" the other party went "lol nope, utility is trash, DPS is everything, if they make mistakes we just wipe becasue they are trash"

drowsy agate
#

for prog obviously you'd want whatever tools help you see more of the fight

#

which usually means you want a RDM

#

and you probably would want to bring a WHM if you're running a DRK

#

when you're done with prog then you just want to optimize and kill asap

silk skiff
#

which was never up to debate.

drowsy agate
#

some BLM players play RDM during prog for that reason

#

what are you even debating

#

the answer is pretty simple

#

lol

proper cave
#

I'd rather have someone who knows how to play their job than someone who is only chasing "meta"

silk skiff
#

for prog the utility pld provides can be more usefull in my personal experience then DRKs damage for exmaple

drowsy agate
#

exactly that

#

skill >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> class

silk skiff
drowsy agate
#

within what reasons

#

lol

silk skiff
#

if the difference between skill is relativly small the class can make a difference

sinful brook
#

its not like dark knight is lacking tools just because they don't have wings

drowsy agate
#

i'd rather have a consistent blue parsing DNC than a "one 95 but 15 grays" sam

silk skiff
#

like such a large gap often si either an underlying issue or just very bad luck in some of hsi runs.. which booth can be true

drowsy agate
#

so again

#

skill >>>>>>>>>>> class

#

class choice matters little, especially if you aren't chasing a world first

silk skiff
#

once again, within reasson, aka only if the difference in skill is at a certain level

#

at very low or very high skill a class can make a difference it will never be a primary factor, but at most secondary, sure

quick verge
#

there is a hypothetical "best comp" for prog, but most ppl, even world racers just pick what they're comfortable on

#

the biggest difference comes from having a 3rd raise in the party

drowsy agate
#

if you're talking situations where it's a skill vacuum

#

then again

quick verge
#

and even then that isn't rly mandatory

drowsy agate
#

it's whoever joins the party first

#

no average player is gonna be like "sorry we really want a PLD"

#

if a DRK joins the party first

#

cuz in the end class choice doesn't matter

#

if you're asking a player what they'd rather play

#

then it's whatever they prefer to play or want to play

#

don't make some guy play PLD for the sake of utility if they want to play DRK

#

why make up theoretical debate situations when the answer's right in front of you

torn kindle
#

Flashback to first ultimate where DRK was in the world first group when most people viewed DRK as weaker than PLD/WAR

#

The DRK on why they picked it: “I like the job.”

drowsy agate
#

the only situation where class choice might mean anything is like

#

idk you probably don't want 4 melee DPS

#

you probably don't want 2 of the same class

#

etc.

#

aside from that it doesn't matter what class they play

#

oh, you also would want one class of every category

#

for the stat buff

steep summit
#

Stat buff?

torn kindle
#

Bottom of the party menu

#

+1% to all main stats per role

steep summit
#

Aaaah... TIL.

silk skiff
#

the only mention of it i can remmeber is if you join or create a CWP and it says "party wide skills and buffs will behave differently" or osmething like that

steep summit
#

Well I just started playing about 4 months ago so I’m not too late... but yeah I’m trying to figure out other reasons you want to have caster dps in your party

proper cave
#

But no one reads it because you see it in, like, Sastasha

silk skiff
#

and dosnt put it into the hotbar

#

so most people dont understand limit breaks

#

till way to late

#

seriously why do we get crap like the help guide into the hotbar by default but not limitbreak?

steep summit
#

Even now I’m like starts new job wait i forgot to put the LB on

drowsy agate
#

cuz there's plenty of reasons to take caster DPS

silk skiff
drowsy agate
#

aside from the stat buff

drowsy agate
#

lol

#

that's why "gcbtw" exists

#

and talesfromDF

silk skiff
#

gcbtw?

proper cave
#

Great community btw. Used sarcastically/derisively.

drowsy agate
#

it's a tongue in cheek statement made toward players who are exceptionally ignorant

#

"you don't pay my sub", enablers, curebots who ignore advice

#

etc.

#

tanks who don't mitigate then blame the healer, "you pull you tank"

steep summit
#

Ok actually rdm and smn have the extra raises right.

drowsy agate
#

they offer plenty in just being a DPS class

#

and also in being ranged

#

they do quite a bit more damage than the physical ranged with no cast times

#

unless you're summoner, in which case your damage is about the same as them, but you also have virtually no cast time

#

casters are just as viable as any other DPS, if not more viable

#

RDM and SMN's rez capabilities aside

mossy night
#

help. what does partners 4 life on seat of sacrifice extreme mean?

#

i've managed to soak towers solo unsynced with the last few learning parties, but nobody ever brought up p4l

#

I'm assuming it has something to do with partnering to soak towers?

drowsy agate
#

sounds like some cheesy way to state they're using the partner strategy

#

it just means for every mechanic, you solve it with your partner

#

meteors? partner. bahamuts? partner. towers? partner.

#

you determine your partner at the beginning when people call clock positions, then they usually have the T/H rotate clockwise for their partner

use ex1 or ex2

stone hemlock
#

sorry about that

drowsy agate
#

the ranges seem the same to me

ember cosmos
#

no it doesnt on the first adika you have to alter positoning cus of a snake in the front

stone hemlock
#

ahhhh so it's a snake on the edges thatll make me adjust

ember cosmos
#

itll shoot a line aoe and you have to adjust for that the second adika you can just get right up clsoe but the aoe size of the adika itself is the same always

stone hemlock
#

got it!!!

#

its the line aoe that gets me, right haha

#

i panic too much

ember cosmos
#

and yeah the snake will appear on the left or right and it can be on the front edge or away from it so you have to either be on the edge of the arena or right outside the adika aoes depending on where the snake is

#

does fflogs include limit break in the parse?

#

because I feel like the SAM in my last group refused to use limit break because they had really good dps

#

and didn't want to use it because it would have hurt their ranking on fflogs due to the animation lock/downtime you get for using lb

torn kindle
#

Limit Break is generally treated as a separate entity.

#

It’s not credited to a specific person and gets its own entry

slender widget
#

so a SAM that plays as good as another SAM would get a worse ranking because they have to use LB?

#

if that's true then this is really stupid. might gonna send feedback to the fflogs team if it's possible to do something about this

#

because it encourages bad play due to rankings

nice thank you.

Hello! I just started progging TEA (doing it in PF since I don't have a static for it yet) and I have some questions for LL

  1. As MT, where would you pull LL after Cascade?
  2. As OT, how tight is the baiting window for Hand of Parting?
  3. For baiting, do you need to move as soon as the puddles are visible or would the MT move first?
  4. As ranged DPS, where would you stand to bait the cleaves?

watching rwf right now, can someone help me understand chains logic?

i doubt any of us know one hour into maintenance being over

#

ask the people in their streams

hushed sphinx
#

well, maybe some of you are watching too and are more attentive than me 😛

#

so, 15 secs before chains appear 4 people are marked with red chain debuff, which indicated they will receive red chains and therefore need to run away from everyone

#

but then there is a multihit set of chains after the cells phase which I am yet to understand

#

nvm, it's literally the same thing but you need to stand at your spot until it hits 4 times

main zephyr
#

Can someone explain the fire/ice thing ? I don't get it

torn kindle
#

from what I can tell on the stream im watching, it's basically the same as normal, but there's a purple "element" that's just big damage/death

#

AKA don't get hit by the same element as you

main zephyr
#

I mean the first aoe we should all be on separate squares

torn kindle
#

dunno

hushed sphinx
#

First crystal everyone should be on separate squares
Second crystal everyone should be on north or south, since all 6 other platforms will have purple crystals, which kill instantly
Third crystal everyone should be on separate squares once again

There are also some raid damage casts in between those, so people can run to the center for mitigation/heals

#

and it goes without saying that you should alternate elements just like in normal

so every pug has a different idea

The issue is that 4 red shackles are huge AoEs so trying to get uptime with those is gonna be ass

and the fight is also somewhat...responsive?

hushed sphinx
#

well, limit killed it with a lot of deaths and couple of damage downs I believe, and with losing downtime on chains, and it was still like 15 sec till enrage

so... probably fine?

but in the video above the whole team got it

that's fourfold

#

lofty hornet
#

oh

#

then how do i deal with the first chains

stable basin
#

purple debuff spreads purple to the closest 3 people to them, red spreads to the farthest 3 from them, if anyone has both red and purple they die

#

melee should stack mid, ranged either at their corners or just off to one side, red stands far and purple in the middle

jaunty yacht
stable basin
#

if you're melee and you're red you still go far, color over role

#

does fourfold mark players the same as the first chains?

Yep

Fourfold is just the chains explode 4x lol

fourfold, just stay inside there

and do not go fuck with people

literally stand still

#

I know, it's too much to ask from PF

subtle bone
#

On boss 3 now zz i hate this arena

finite plank
stable basin
#

Fourfold is technically everyone gets a debuff and the mechanic happens 4x in quick succession

#

so all the people with purple go mid

#

and all the people with red go out

finite plank
#

so, at the very least, ranged can still bait red by standing not middle

#

?

stable basin
#

what you get is random

#

you just gotta adjust to what you get

viscid gust
#

what's your question?

quaint radish
#

is there a pug strat to doing chains?

viscid gust
#

hrm not sure if there's a agreed-upon strat since I was with a single group for 4 hours when it dropped

#

are you talking about the single one or the four-fold one?

#

the strat we used for the single one was to have the purple/red debuff people go to specific markers and rest of people fill out the near/far markers

quaint radish
#

so far i'm using outer corner markers and inner cardinal markers

#

the issue is that there's a raidwide before that and we have to stay nearby for healers

viscid gust
#

you're talking about the first thing where there's only two people with debuffs, right?

quaint radish
#

ye

viscid gust
#

I think you only need to stay there until the raidwide cast goes off

#

then you can move out

quaint radish
#

yeah but its generally absolute chaos and someone ends up dying

viscid gust
#

I'm medica2-ing everyone when that raidwide hits and I'm not sure what my cohealer was doing

#

that mechanic does very little damage

#

like maybe 1/4 hp, at most

quaint radish
#

not from that

#

from the overlapping chains

viscid gust
#

each person should either have a purple tether or a red chain around them

#

if someone has both they'll die

quaint radish
#

yeah

#

that i get

#

but so far the strategy is to do last minute adjustments in pug

#

which usually is absolute chaos and someone ends up dying

viscid gust
#

we had "home" positions for the ranged and melee

#

and usually that works okay enough

#

(we also had 2 melee dps composition, so it split okay)

#

like normally I just went southeast as I was healer 2

#

I go to the designated red debuff corner if I get red or purple debuff inner spot if I get purple

#

I think we ended up doing healers SE/SW, caster/ranged in one of the north spots, and the one whose clock spot got taken by the red debuff position would just float

# quaint radish is there a pug strat to doing chains?

I am wondering the same thing. We couldnt find a start that allowed all 4 red chains to keep max melee. We had to adopt a Rhombus like shape, which allowed 2 red chains to max melee and 2 have to be out which gives the best odds to have no melee be forced down time.

#

I would love to see a clip that shows good positions for all 4.

If you kill a boss on savage.. can you still re enter with another group and you just have loot lockout or do you have an instance lockout?

steady pebble
#

you can re-enter, but you reduce the group's loot

opaque grail
#

so during intemperance, the assumption is everyone has to take their own spot on the outer grid when it isn't purple. If that is true during the second one. How does one solve this puzzle? There isn't anyone to take the north spot during the second intemperance

drowsy agate
#

just curious since one guild got like a full crafted set and personal guidance from sfia or something

opaque grail
#

then they just take the damage down for third?

#

or do you not take a damage down for going into the same color?

subtle bone
#

nvm sorry looks like the sage just stepped off the tile at the snapshot

#

everything else was correct

ashen root
#

It sorta seemed to take care of itself. If your tower had one of each, you soaked, mid, soaked. If you had 2 of the same, you soaked, when north or south to change debuff, and went back to soak 3rd

subtle bone
#

they did it right just healer died on the line

opaque grail
#

so you do not need to be in both the north and south for second intemp

subtle bone
#

nah

#

just cant be in purple

sinful brook
#

no purple is the important bit

#

if you need to readjust your debuff colour you go north/south as necessary or just standin the middle if you don't

subtle bone
#

and no you would have a few people adjust, tank would have to swap with a dps/healer tile for the 3rd

#

edited- yea you need a swap with dps on 3

opaque grail
#

then they would both be mid for second intemp

#

and no one can take north because dps need to stay mid and healers need to go blue

#

we go into second with 6 red and 2 blue

#

yeah

#

tanks are the only ones who could possible take north. then we are stuck with 5 red and 3 blue for final intemp

subtle bone
#

currently debunking this with my friends now lol

opaque grail
#

yeah I guess 1 dps south with healers, 1 tank at north.

#

gets you 4 red 4 blue

#

then swap with north tank

#

just a shit pattern

#

hot damn

subtle bone
#

yea pretty much shit pattern

covert ledge
#

im

#

so confused

#

why would you have dps in a different position for hte bottom one

opaque grail
#

you need 4 red 4 blue to clear 3rd intemp

#

you go into second intemp with 6 red 2 blue

covert ledge
#

squint, my static did static position roles and we cleared

#

im confused now

opaque grail
#

its the second pattern above

covert ledge
#

oh, no i was asking about the bottom one lol

#

the healers are intercards for this part

opaque grail

this is def dif

#

we had assaigned spots

guess we just weren't fluid enough

covert ledge

assigned spots, worked fine

we had deaths but they were related to different things lmfao

I had this answer on reddit, I'm gonna try it out tomorrow with the team

dusk sapphire
#

That way nobody runs like headless chickens

#

The debuff is 3 seconds? Yes, but it takes like 6 seconds to actually procc

#

So you got plenty of time to get in position, have everyone stack in center prior

viscid gust
#

3 seconds to activate and show chains and a few more seconds for the explosion

austere mural
#

The 3s is when the other chains appear I think

dusk sapphire
#

Irrelevant

#

The other chains are dynamic

#

And can be transferred if the distance changes

viscid gust
#

It’s just a visual indicator to let you do any minor adjustments or check if you’re doing it right.

dusk sapphire
#

Still... anyone has any diagram to do tiles in a non-dmg down way?

austere mural
#

I don't have the diagram but if east and west is Fire - Purple - Fire, you can just have everyone rotate clockwise one time for the third element

dusk sapphire
#

Except i pug playdead

#

Well i guess tank will need to just soak it

austere mural
#

I mean, there's "two" patterns. The pattern where everyone takes care of their own square, and the one where you rotate

dusk sapphire
#

Yeah i realized

#

Cuz sometimes no soak

dull radish
#

we just had people take care of their own square, and fix their color if needed with the second one (and stand in mid if they don't)

drowsy agate
#

all you gotta do is have people get into those positions based on debuff

#

and boom ez mechanic?

dusk sapphire
#

And they must stand still

#

The outside markers ensure max melee

#

dull radish

So like 4 mechs, then 3 raidwides, then enrage

For the second temperature pattern our team thought of this strat

Just have north (or south) switch square with one of the intercardinal for the 3rd square, it should work either from the top or bottom and only two people need to ajust instead of the entire party

has anyone whos done the map portals yet got past 3rd floor? I did tons last night never happened once

obsidian wren

That's how we solved it

only two people actually have to pay attention

triple ice is a given anyways, and if the other two variations come up, this should work

#

And nobody should get damage down

I just hope pugs will try it

Cuz nobody is gonna want to MT if we stick to "braindead" strat

stable basin

I feel like pugs are gonna adopt this

`the 4 people who spread use true north then clockwise: so 1 goes north, 2 goes east, so on

we had 2/4 for body stay where the boss jumped to for shockwave, and 1/3 across from the body. We roughly planned to have the 1 (head) between there and the murky water, and 2/3/4 placed around the arena from there away from the murky square

pallid gorge
#

not sure if idiot proof but we cleared and i’m an idiot soo xD

dull radish
#

but realistically for head just kinda let tank/melee try to stay closer to where the boss was after shockwave

I was told that regardless of the order of the explosions if south has 3 ice everyone can do basic solving and return to their spot at the end.

so instead of worrying about what colors are what, or whether it starts from top or bottom

pallid gorge
#

it’s only when it’s not ice x3 that’s things get wonky

dull radish
#

I really just recommend everyone take care of their own square, swapping color if they need to. And then like, NW and N people always swap their colors

#

and swap squares if needed for the final one

#

and that will always resolve it

full wave
#

Mrhappy claims that if it's 1 fire 2 ice then S and NW can just swap but there's no way it's that simple.

#

Buuut he also cleared the fight so I should maybe just go check his vod

pallid gorge
#

for my group, if top explodes first, then south and sw will swap; if bottom first, then n and ne will swap

dull radish
#

you can do it like I mentioned and you won't have to have to pay attention to that

#

fairly certain it will always resolve cleanly that way

full wave
#

Oh wait that's what Rika just said

#

Wait you said N and NW swap. So there's more than one way to do it.

dull radish
#

yeah it doesn't really matter much, but I prefer like N and NW since they're right next to each other

full wave
#

Makes perfect sense

dull radish
#

and it's usually like, ranged dps and tank up there

pallid gorge
#

gotta try that o/

full wave
#

Thanks Rika this is a game changer for pf

#

This is foolproof

dull radish
#

we actually had never gotten a pattern until the run we cleared with where we actually had to make any adjustments, we noticed looking at it the day after (we assumed that someone had just made a mistake)

frank quiver
#

In P1S, is it possible for ranged to bait all red chains by staying far away? When does it snapshot?

pallid gorge
#

red chain tethers to 3 furthest people

#

so 4 people have to be in on it

#

arrange your group so that there are 4 people inner to do blue chain and 4 people outer to do red chain

We did ranged out melee in. Every one has a partner so they can swap if melee gets a red or ranged gets a blue

literally finding a PF group able of beating the first boss is harder than the boss itself

#

got to enrage last night, been fighting the last ~3 hours in PFs tagged completion and enrage

PF progging is smthn else

I oughta find a static but I don't feel like searching

#

anyways, anyone know how to find an FC dedicated to raiding? this PF shit just ain't it

sinful brook
#

fcs aren't typically how raiding happens

#

statics (groups of 8 players) are how it usually happens in terms of organized conducting of it

There we go, now if only I had friends to put in it

"simple"
you think 8 idiots are all gonna pay attention to the boss' hands and the specific order of elements on a square that's not theirs kek

#

just take care of yourself and make tank+pranged flex if they need to to avoid dmg down, ezclap

#

So where do all jobs stands right now?

#

Can I get like a quick summary on the current status of all the jobs?

gritty perch
#

It's a little hard to tell after the adjustments yesterday

#

RPR is king

#

SMN, PLD, and DNC are all the worst of their roles.

ocean forge
#

To be fair, for the most part, yesterday adjustment doesn't mess with potency that much

#

Monk is QoL

gritty perch
#

I haven't heard yet whether the changes to NIN have brought it closer to par with other melee yet

#

I doubt it though

ocean forge
#

What's the problem with SMN, PLD, and DNC?

gritty perch
#

All three are undertuned

#

Needed buffs and did not get them.

#

Still can clear savage of course

#

But at a disadvantage compared to their counterparts

ocean forge
#

So nothing crippling then

dusk sapphire
#

Literally 1/2 movements

#

MT: north, north, NE/NW(1 move)
North>south>NE/NW(2 moves from north)
If no adjust, then MT goes N>N>N so 0 movement

so, at first savage raid. what if i have purple chain and a red ring around me ?

#

in our out ?

weary bone
#

look at your debuffs window

quasi saffron
#

i had a red chain

#

so out i guess

weary bone
#

red chain is out I believe

quasi saffron
#

the purple chains were irritating me

#

i got the red debuff and purple chains with players in the middle

dusk sapphire
#

the buffs can move between players depending on distance until the last second

quasi saffron
#

until last second ? how should i react in time then ?

#

i see purple chain, i stay in. i see red rings or red debuff i go out but purple chains and red ring, idk

#

anyone have timeline for P4S phase 2 ?

for the love of god

dont try to make 8 people rotate till next week holy shit

#

I tried the rotation and it was needlessly confusing

#

why try to big brain shit

chilly frost
#

i see this 8person rotate stuff everywhere now on ppl still sitting on p1s

#

im new, not a wow player, still had sprout going in p1s

#

and witht he pic above we managed in 2 tries lol

#

its simple, ppl make it so unneccessary hard

#

2ppl have to pay attention here, noone takes dmg, that's it kek

lucid holly
#

shouldn't everyone end up in their OG spots, with MT N and OT S?

#

I've been resolving it in PF with First pop is OGs, resolve elements in second pop (going to diff tile or mid), then back to OG in third

#

then Tanks just have to either stay in their square all 3, go to mid for second, or go to other tank for second, then back to og tile for third

#

two of the DPS movements in the in the above graph have the DPS on a tank tile for third pop

crisp falcon
#

holy molly this is so complicated lmao

#

I did N/M/ South and completed it. The healers had to just focus on healing and use shield + defensive buff on themselves for the third crystal if it's the same element

woeful violet
#

you can just do OT / range do it everytime

#

to involve less ppl

sinful brook

woeful violet
#

only 2 ppl exchange their end position

#

always range and ot

obsidian wren
#

ah my bad confused mt and ot for a sec

#

used to mt doing the same thing

woeful violet
#

yup dw

#

think this is better since there is less brains required

obsidian wren
#

just the mt that is

#

shared this yesterday somewhen, basically same with MT [non-triple-ice]

woeful violet
#

yup that's the same

#

during tiles it's safe to stand in the purple lines between each tile up until the boxes explode right

#

question about first chains in savage 1. sometimes i get a purple chain icon and sometimes not. why ?

#

i know i have to stay close but why sometimes icon and sometimes not

sinful brook
quasi saffron
#

ah ok. just one player gets red or purple icon. tyvm!

#

second chains are easier imo because everyone knows what they will get

pearl flicker
#

does everyone in pf finder relatively follow the exact same resolve for phase 2 in p1s for either form of cube things

#

pf not pf finder

#

anyone know fastest way to spiritbond lvl 90 gear atm?

surreal leaf
obsidian wren
#

no but you get a debuff way ahead of it resolving, and can just go to that specific location

surreal leaf
#

idk if id say way ahead lol but yeah my group use the timer position strat

full wave
#

It's definitely not way ahead you have 3 seconds to get in position

sinful brook
#

You have more than 3s

#

Thats 3s that tells you that your buff resolves first, then you have 5s before your buff resolves, totalling to 8s for the shortest debuff @full wave @surreal leaf

#

4gcds is a lot of time

full wave
#

I see. That makes the wipes even more infuriating.

#

how's p3s's difficulty and dps check? A lot of parties in PF couldn't make p2s properly, so if its much worse I might wait a couple of weeks for pubs to get better gear

So what is your buying order with gear? Will you bother getting the 590 weapon?
