Idk what gif you wanted but I got this?
IGN: Archon Ghoul
Server: Behemoth
o7
it was distinctly a gif cuz I remember it being embedded in the post
https://gfycat.com/heartyjaggedcub
this maybe/
yes! that's the one
yes and yes
They weren't saying anything so I was worried I was the one who dun goofed
I think they're a static 😐
If they arent calling you out then you did good

I mostly just asked if i messed up like where to go
So anyway.... What's the strat for p4s act 3?
Bait kicks, furthest person
Bait shakers, closest 3 people
Dont get knocked back
Soak towers
melee bait, ranged towers, swap after
*correction act 4
blue goes across and 1 CW and breaks immediately after the second raidwide. purples just stay on their side and go 1 CW to soak tower
the blues and the towers have resolved
you start breaking the tethers from the N/NE one and you go clockwise
https://raidplan.io/plan/L3qe_o6yL4ywy6y-
@steep summit this might help
Just wondering with p2s with the mechanic where people get knocked into each other does it matter who you knock into?
you get knocked into the lad wit hthe opposing arrow to yours
you dont really think bout who that person is specifically, so long as they too have to right idea
you'll both end up fiiiiine
unless a 3rd party kill you both
Okay thank you thought there might be an extra thing tacked on
for the first flow
you'll want to be forming a cross-ish with 7 other people
second and third are just you resolving with your opposite arrow partner
wat bout next week?
yes.. and no..
in JP it's strangely harder than when I tried to clear in EU..
cause there's a conflict of strat between JP and EN community, especially the SoA part
JP use more conservative, safe strat whereas EN use tuffles usually
i feel like it is gonna be easier than A2C but not saying it is completely easy
the amount of trap party in A2C is horrible
wheres your conservative safe strats tho
afaik JP use Inu
and the placement of spread/stack is more strict in JP and they just super stick to the macro
so like when you try to ignore and try to "adjust" you'll wipe easily
i quite enjoy winging shit in PF ngl
like in EU for example, for spread and stack placement, people would adjust for that part for example
i will just try it next week and see how it feels
like when I asked the question, they just answer "wing it" xD
its the best :D
but i saw lots of Tuufless and Mr Happy P3S reclear just now
so it cant be that bad
those moments where 2 people run up to pick up a virus at once but pause when they notice the others intent
or the 2 dps deciding who goes cw and who goes cww in a blink of a moment
dancing, ever closer to the edge as some combat sexual would say
both use mr happy strat for FoF
you mean FoF
Just curious, what's the best way to find people to do the lvl 90 treasure maps?
I can sit there for hours without people joining in. I just wanna make the gil so I can buy a new home over here.
organize something with your FC and add people that you've ran maps with before
maps aren't very popular and also aren't really endgame content
try #recruitment-primal
You also only need about 4 people for lvl 90 maps
Also, no P3S kill
And no P4S phase one
Shit. you're right
Unless this is a party for clearing phase 1
Nope
Fucking lmao
probably best to not waste your time with that

How do people like that get to do p4s while I'm stuck in p3s 
I wish I had people who carry me 
I don't think they'll even be able to clear the doorboss without the other 3 DPS carrying them
I've ran with the party lead before and they deal average to below average damage (their best parse is a double digit grey)
I don't really mind him as much but 0's on Hippo and no P3S/phase 1 kill is extremely sus
It can kind of happen if you play on console and no one else uploads logs, but yeah if you have multiple clears it's pretty sus
But yeah, how come I don't get these magic p3s carry parties 
Can't wait for 6.18 so I can skip the dumb birb and prog p4s 
49 ex kills with a best grey parse is sus
Though I have been gray parsing my only 2 clears of p4s part 1...
I only have 8 savage logs, but then I stopped p1s and p2s reclears after getting my summoner bis 
If anything it's my EX3 logs that's missing
Also no one uploading my later P1S reclears 
41 clears 34 uploaded
how do you get that UI display 
is a plugin
Plugin yeah
which plugin
fflogsviewer
I may have to wait for undersized to clear p4s, this fight makes me hate myself
P1S reclear be like
Do perfect rotation, fuck up fourfold
D down on both intempts + death + chain fuckup in dartboard phase = reclear
Also I keep rolling high on neckpieces for some reason
i see lots of strats for P4S
I would recc you clear P3S first still. I notice people are more prone to looking at fflogs in P4S than P3S and I do it too... and anyone that hasn't cleared P3S before sends alarm bells ringing in my head
holy shit i finally did it, i beat p3s
welcome to P4S
i heard it is easier than P3S
If only I didn't burn out on p3s adds hell 😂
Phase 1 is easy i think when i looked at the mech
Can't skip now anyway though?
Thought you can't skip to p4s until 6.18 unlocks the tier
i thought you can skip after you clear P4S

if you haven;t then you need someone that has cleared P3S
Got to clear p3s to even touch p4s tho 😬
Trying to prog p3s during NA dead hours 
in PF
keep trying
i got through P3S through PF also
You have it the other way around, friend
There's a reason why there's a lot of Pinax memes around
But are there more pinax memes than add memes 
yeah pinax memes are the only memes in p4s ngl

out of what i've seen
yes
Phase 2 is pretty simple once you get it
p4p2 is a knowledge check
Pinax is, imo, the hardest mechanic in Asphodelos
Isnt it just 1st eruption thunder or water to 2nd eruption fire or poison
No lol
Then adds in shift
No adds
Add in Shift strike*
there are no adds in p4s
- Knockback or hug wall plus
- stack or spread
- Sword or cape
- Repeat 1 and 2
- Doing all that and remembering not to stand on the danger floor
- 3 and 4 happens when you're doing your 2m burst window
Its difficult because it alligns with jobs burst windows
And some jobs cough monks cough have an unbelievably difficult time maintaining dull uptime and resolving the mechanics
I mean the part where he goes westerly shift, north, east or south
The mechanics when you lay it in a list like that, its real simple

But you’re also piloting your job while doing it and it can get pretty sketchy
it happens as second set of pinax's resolves
I can do pinax easily but im probably gonna lose like 1-2 gcds unless i can do the triple thunderclap bullshit
isn't P3S the same? 
just wanting to know how it feels since i am gonna do fresh prog
Nah, i dont find it as difficult in p3s
p3s doesnt have horrid 2min windows as in p4s
pinax is downtime unless you're a god with good rng
fof is full uptime
I think p3s as a whole is harder than p4s
I think pinax specifically is a greater obstacle to burst uptime than anything in p3s
Theres like 2 mechanics in p4s, and pinax is half of em
Bloodrake and Pinax
you've basically seen the entire fight by the end of orbs
becasue it more or less loops
bloodrake happens but with towers
adn then pinax
its a short fight
That's slightly comforting, considering I was burned out by the dps memes 
yeah it's what
raidwide > rake > rake > rot > tether > raidwide > tb > tile set > tile 1 > tile 2 > mid > tile 3 > shift > tile 4 > tb > rake-wide > orb setup > orb setup > rake-wide > orbs > safe tile > towers/tethers > rake-wide > towers > rot > tethers > raidwide > tb > tile set > tile 1 > tile 2 > mid > tile 3 > shift > tile 4 > raidwide > raidwide > raidwide > enrage?
I dont put that much thought into it, but i’ll take your word for it
All i remember is bloodrake shit, pinax, orb shit, bloodrake shit, pinax, dps race
Gloryplume #2 should be added as meme
the amount of people forgotting to run when they see the first big ball
Glory spread is pvp
💀
Like, FoF and FoA are pretty mech-intensive, yeah, but Pinax is just pain difficult if you haven't done it more than a few times
FoA is also really painful when you haven't actually seen it multiple times as it can be confusing
since you gotta look at the boss at all times
for the dark balls
But, imo, it's the only mechanic in P4S that's actually hard. The rest can one-shot you if you or someone else does it incorrectly, but that's on them more than you (boo your parse though)
Grey parses get carried clear 
One death guarantees you a grey parse
If someone can parse grey the whole tier yet still clear, I should be able to right???? 
Less deaths to rot/tethers when you get to phase 2 though, ngl
I've died a few times to using Arm's Length a sec too late
And it can be annoying to have the boss jump to the spread tile while it's going off because idk if I can trust randos to do max melee range when I'm under the boss
It's just a lot of shit happening at the same time and I can't really blame them?
ofc. Just keep going at it and eventually you will
We still have a lot of time before 6.2 anyway
2 months flies tbh
but yeah you can def clear before tier ends since echo is gonna be slapped on
lazy 
But I got a green :v
Oh you mean p4s
Yes
Well 3 weeks ago it was
It wasn't as bad as when you're in FoA prog
But we did also get a bard that didn't know where to go on Darkened Fire
Probably the most egregious trapper I've ever seen
?
its a proximity aoe or a knockback followed by a spread or two stack
its one of the easiest mechanics of an endboss in any tier 
bro, im tryna to get max uptime when blue pinax is on the latter half
its a pain in the butt
yeah but it happens very fast in which it requires you to look where is N W E S while also dealing with shift strike then Pinax Eruption

I mean it just isn't very fast at all
If anything the mechanic is so slow you can go the wrong way and still be fine
if you went to the wrong way you will get hit by the eruption though?
there is like 2 mechs that will happen
thunder or water
then
Fire or poison
if you went to the wrong you might wipe your parties or you died
unless you are talking about the normal Pinax which is not savage ver
and then u get cleaved by the sword . w.
its not the threat of standing on an exploding tile that'll get you
lol
you can gapclose and avoid the sword or just go to the other cardinal and dodge it still
its super free
Does pf pull hesperos to lightning and fire?
Ya
Always.
Btw, for next tier savage, do people jump straight in with current BiS or do they grab better gear first?
Normals with BiS savage with crafted
next tier crafted/normal raid gear will be i610
so most people are going to completely replace their old savage BiS before doing the next tier
Savage should still be possible with BiS though, right? If you want to skip the crafted gear?
yes, still possible, but it'd be the equivalent of doing p1s in 570 gear
Gotcha
not impossible obviously but makes it harder
and if you want to clear the tier within 2 or less weeks then it's strongly suggested you wear full i610
Not too worried about being super fast, our static just cleared p4s last night
But good to know
note that better gear means you're allowed more mistakes and still clear
Yeah
which is especially important in the early weeks
the real DPS checks don't usually occur until the 3rd fight
Makes sense
e11s's DPS check was brutal in the early weeks
0 deaths all blue parsers + two melee LBs and you'd just BARELY clear before enrage
p3s's was also pretty decent but tbh people were more likely to die in p3s than e11s
current tier bis vs next tier? not sure it's possible to week 1 clear
p8s would recommend i620 gear
current
what?
your current i600 bis is unlikely to allow you to clear p8s week 1
I'm sure TPS could probably do it
but if you want week 1 clear the tier then strongly suggested to get full crafted
lmfao welp hopefully it allows me to go through to p3s cuz im lazy
p
7?
idk
fucking so brain dead rn
also strongly suggested to have full crafted 610 for p7s
as mentioned, it's probably going to be the first real DPS check
Groups do p5s and maybe p6s before people have crafted gear made
first boss usually dies first lockout, second dies in 1-2 lockouts and you usually get gear after the 2nd lockout is done
I've been having this tank that knows the mechanics on P3S but kept getting oneshot by the tankbuster. Is it normal for bird to oneshot a 590 tank?
nah not rlly, they should be double mitting those TBs
they might still kinda get oneshot if they only have 1 mit and maybe mid health going into that
Not at all
It wasn't oneshotting me when I had 1 mit and 560 and 580 mix of gear
He's only going to get one shot if he's got no mit up
I saw they were at full or 80 then got clapped by Heat of Condemnation. And they were the OT/ST
Check his buffs for mitigation
Inb4 they only use oblation
Didn't see Nascent Flash or any mits on both adds and TB
Flash is for other people
That'll do it
Bloodwhetting and a large cd was what I used
Use mits or suffer the consequences
Guess I got unlucky on PF for one tank

Gunbreaker was MT and was actually surviving shit or barely taking damage
i would've had them swapped
Don't warriors usually have the most self sustain stuff?
yeh i guess so
the other tanks also have more important things to be doing than handling MT responsibilities
so natually, i think war would be pigeoned into MT even if they didnt have the most self sustain lol
MT war will have easier time moving phoinix
And actually have uses for their equilibrium and thrill of battle before fledling
War is a job for people who like to be in charge, so naturally MT is the only choice
OT-ing as WAR just feels wrong
doesn't really have anything to do with being in charge
they just heal more, so they better take more hits, that's all lol
but yeah, you have to be decent on mob placement and all of that
you do what you want in your static, but making WAR OT is sacriligious
honestly you'd have a better case for WAR MT if you mentioned you're doing it for the sake of DPS from vengeance
and mting isn't particularly a huge deal anyways

since it just really defines who pulls a boss and thats about it
due to swaps and what not
the damage taken is going to be the same, the healers were probably gonna heal you there anyways
!skill vengeance
yep 55
half the bosses auto like 6 times a year
hehe
vengeance min maxing is really important
make sure to pre pull vengeance on certain fights
thats like 30 dps!
the rank 1 war log for p4sp2
yo that's about as much as SCH/SMN auto attacks
gained like 17 dps from vengeance lul
incredible
i threw out 6 autos as a joke but thats actually all it soaked
in the whole fight
since i assume most of it was used for near/far
wherever you are
oh right, there's nascent as well I totally forgot
what's the benefit of bloodwhetting over nascent
Personal mit
one's targetable on party members
self mit
Cuz fuck the party
nascent is barely useful
10% yeah, noice
nascent is just bloodwhetting except you can put it on a party member
since u MT u dont rly need it at all
its not bad for helping soak other people
you can nascent someone who got shrekt by an AoE
since its technically more healing pot value
wait, nascent also gives 10%
or put it on your MT if you're OT
._.
3600 vs just 1600
maybe the coherence tether u could flash for OT, but thats like whatever
but like not really worth being like its life changing
so no difference right? just party vs self, lol
tbh flash is macroed to target OT
yeah
so u could use it during busters if ur tank swapping
other than that bloodwhetting is priority
but doesnt nascent also gives bloodwhetting buff to your target and yourself?
no
so you get two people instead of one
ok ty ty
so while potentially healing potency value is larger
if your healers are already healing its not really worth discussing
its decent as a recovery tool in shit going down situations though
where you can basically top someone to full while your healers are busy with other stuff
so far I did not find ANY mechanics where u need to flash or OT dies
well
if you have healers that play the game, ur good to go
you don't really need to have perfect mits to survive a lot of things now in week3248382 of our lord
I did not hear of any "we literally cant survive if u dont flash this mechanic" week 1 of this tier stories
I would have to use it way too often and on way too many targets
I wish the war would flash me during formless judgement back in the day 
ba dum tss

i did do that to my pld back in the day
lol I've been using nascent to my healer all the time instead of using bloodwhetting in roulette 😹
speaking of class fantasy.
Warrior is a MT class fantasy and paladin is an OT class fantasy.

I totally missed the part where I give 10% miti to my healer instead using it on me
Pld just eats shit
Gunbo is the OT fantasy
paladin is certified OT fantasy. OT usually stacks with party, and wings are perfect for that
doesn't get much better than extra party mit
cuz we have capes
no idea, I don't play OT jobs

so far have not noticed pld with main char syndrome, but then again most pf OT's are dog water who keeps killing you
The fantasy Paladin player: "everyone get behind me! I'm going to passage of arms this raidwide"
The reality paladin player: "no, pulling is my job how dare you! I'm taking my tank stance off and going home. Healer, I took 5% damage are you even doing your job? I'm casting clemency now since you suck."
Fr fr, i wouldnt be casting clemency unless it was extemely dire
PF paladins I find generally ok if they aren't one of the complete shitters who decided to do savage without understanding how requiescat charges work
DF paladins tho, by far more shitters than any other tank class (DRK 2nd)
DF drks: yes, I used mitigations. I used TBN. What more do you want, jeez.
I havent met any plds in PF who do the -18 fof in a fight where its beneficial to do so, not a single one
So theyre all complete shitters in my book
Anytime i see a 15 sec countdown, i know that this pld isnt a gamer
Theres a difference between bad by raid standards and bad by msq content standards
How a pld get all the way to alzadaals legacy going requiescat immediately into confeitor
I dont rly know a situation where it would be beneficial
my OT does -18 fof everytime and so far I haven't found any issues
Yknow, in a somewhat recent poll in the chinese server
Apparently.. paladins are the least understood tank by other tank mains, so im not shocked
But simply, in the current tier just do it in p2s and p4s
Well the issue is whether or not its a potency gain to do so
Theres like.. no downtime alignment incentive to do so in something like p1s, so its all about whether its a potency gain.. and apparently its not
he plays with 200 ping so I don't think we gonna maximize potency gains much anytime soon...
Its k, pld is ping friendly
not much double weaving?
N0pe
i know E12S isnt endgame but i guess i didnt see a better spot to ask about it lmao
uhhh does anyone do prog groups in here?
can try /partyfinder, it's close to NA peak time
hmm valid, i just enjoy having people to help me learn lolol watching a guide doesnt entirely do it for me ;-;
yeah just say you are learning blind
although still I would recommend watching a guide lol
i watched the guide i just know i will need extra help lol
Only if unmitigated
Source: have been oneshot when putting up mits late
anywhere i can post to get some people to run some extreme trials for mounts
LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOO
P1S: 3 weeks, 26 wipes
P2S: 3 days, 48 wipes
P3S: 10 days, 96+ wipes
P4S: 14 days, 275 wipes
Like Phoenix I am reborn again
Had a learning curve and I was extremely self-conscious about my performance
The only other EX I'd done at that point was EX1 I think, so I was wholly out of my element
Every day I'd not get a clear I'd just spend like 2-4 more days putting it off
I also spent like a week of rest in between first clearing each of these
Were you PFing it?
honestly that's pretty good for PF on floors 3 and 4 XD
😮
i know some that were stuck on p3s for over a month trying to PF it
Yeah I took 3 weeks for p3s simply cause adds
I usually learn pretty quickly so I just join the one I got up to and then some
I’d be progging p4s but I’m stalling on p3s reclears this week
Mood
I took 2 weeks of rest after p3
Had a migraine due to the arena and it was not good for my eyes
XD im pretty bad at learning and apparently my enfeeblements had been turned off so i unintentionally trapped the P1S group i joined
I think it’s gonna be my 6th week for the tier, been proggin weekly
Oh lmao your debuffs?
Lolwut
Yeah but unlike you I’ve been proggin near daily short of the week I had to fly for work.
And it was basically 2 days for P1/2S combined, 3 weeks for p3 and still workin on p4, only got a party that got past pinax memes last sun
P1S prog still also has people running it blind and not telling the party
I joined a fresh prog yesterday (bored and I wanted to distract myself from not clearing P4S)
And it was
a thing
People straight up being wrongly positioned for chains
Grey parsing BLM trying to greed and killing everyone
Healer YOLOing intemperance
Tried to help them as much as I could but some of them were straight up not getting it
Kind of reminded me of trying to help a p2s prog within the last 2 weeks
Someone asked if tank lb3 coherence 3
I said if it's there I'll use it
Two dps chime in saying we should be using it on dps or healer and people just need to do the mechanic
lmao that sounds familiar

Like, I'm of the opinion Flow 3 should just be done as intended
It's not even hard
Did they shit on you
I took the head, ran back towards the team
Laser hits someone who isn't stacked with the team somehow
Who was it?

"Save lb3 for dps" ninja
Can you even clear with that many deaths
Ohh
I've seen like 12-13 deaths on p2s still clear comfortably
I'm guessing P4SP1 just built differently
Oh that's pretty low
Yeah
Mount for p4s?
You probably don't need to buy it tbh
Since the drop is confirmed
Veteran clearers almost all have it
My clear today had the mount but I didn't get it 
For weapon then
Weapon and chest
well it always drops in 2 chest
and you'll probably get it next week because of reclearers
weap and chest are a different story so gl with that 
Which is why I'm asking how much people usually pay for it
To be lootmaster
2 mil per person?
I'll try to scrounge up 14mil
Say is there any guide on Uwu on par with hector hectorson guides?
I was hoping he'd have one for the fight but alas
Forgot to ask, but how long have you been working on P4?
P4?
yeah P4 p2
cleared P3S few days ago
I took like a 1-2 week break from progging after clearing P3S
Legit felt sick and headaches that almost felt like migraines
It is, yeah
I usually do a bit of leveling and doing job stories I skipped
And side content
Still have yet to do Hildibrand
starting my 3rd week so far i think
if its just the mount
you probs dont have to pay much
people care abt the gear a lot more, generally
I am after both
I see, okay
ty
I'll see if I can win a coffer/weapon on reclear next week
If I can reclear
lower prices might be doable at this point due to how people are probably already bis
but
it's a toss up
I’ve gotten paid from 2 to 5 to 7
It really depends how much loot they want and on the person
If u want everything do like 3+
I mean
It's worth lowballing it if you don't mind potentially not filling
It's pretty late into the tier
some people genuinely just dont care for gear after getting bis on main
I care bout milking people for everything they own tho
And you know people share the sentiment, lol
help
Switch to the better regen healer
shut up
just progged up to Act 3 in P4S P2
kinda easy

i expected it to not be that easy
Is there a huge difference between the current BIS and the BIS for TEA/Ultimate specific?
Told a guy from my static that current BIS is more than enough but he's obssesed with everyone getting the BIS TEA one when i'm telling him it's not necessary, meaning 5/8 members have to do all Bozja from 0 for the relic weapon
Everything in P2 is easy

true
i guess it is easy because victory lap?
I'd say the hardest there is probably being able to click buttons while seeing what number you are and where your tower is
Because I'm not super observant when I'm clicking buttons
Not really. Took me as much time to prog as P1 since people keep memeing in Act 2
!faq ultimatesync
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 calculator, which supports syncing to both 70 and 80:
https://bit.ly/XIV-TANKDPSCALC-EW
Pinax still messed me up till this day though
Tldr you can get tea bis from heroes gauntlet if you're a sweaty and want to meld
But you'll be fine with current stuff
Act 2 is stupidly simple if you're a DPS. For some reason the tanks/healers that need to soak towers keep forgetting
The relic is nice because you can choose substats
agree on that
since it is explosion -> safe spot -> center to heal -> soak -> explosion
messed up then everyone die
Me, reaper: uptime? What's an uptime
Wind tether is still like full uptime tho
Can't even Harpe when I'm running to the soak
There's ways to greed and definitely enough time between the aoes going off to sneak gcds
I've done the uhh, range-purple circle thing as I'm coming to the first soak
1 Harpe
Then dip to the boss to get 2 GCDs in
Then go to the 2nd soak and do another Harpe
The foq u soakin
You just soak it in the 2 seconds inbetween gcds
Stack then
Like a champ
greeding act 2
I do it all the time lmao
Wydm you can just jump to the boss for it and you don't need to stand still for your ranged attack
That still does damage, yes
You kinda just get used to it, like you get into position
Do about 2 gcds, run in to soak, run back in and continue without kissin a beat
Ez
Can't really help it with Act 2 but you gotta do what you gotta do
Just play monk
You dont even get a range skill so all you’ve left is to greed
Nope

I pray for wind tether everytime
greed on pinax
Yeah

You can do that
Technically Pinax should still be like almost full uptime
I think its only sam and drg cant greed pinax well
kinda hard to greed there yk
Harpe Harpe away
Reapers got the blink, and ninjas has gangsigns in the event of lightning on second
Monks have thunderclap
Sam, yknow.. like why even play sam
Just be a monk
They share the same gear anyway
Can't greed it still since I get server ticked something fierce. My ping is not super great for it
i legit enpi 3x times during pinax
Thats lame ;u

Sad melee noises
That’s disgusting
I really like it when it's water + cape on 2nd though
Ahh yes, ignoring mechanics with KB
I try to greed so I don't get a grey parse again lol
I try to greed cuz i would never put ranged skills on my hotbar
Even with me greeding my best I can get a grey parse due to bad crit rng
That, and having 2 selfish DPS and me and the DNC drifting our buffs far apart 
You can like purple without greeding though
One message removed from a suspended account.
From what I can tell only people with BIS can purple parse even with no greed
One death will likely put you in grey, and being DPless with 2 selfish dps, even with greed, will put you in grey
My best is a blue
I mean if you died the parse doesn’t really matter anymore
Yes
I've rarely died to P1 nowadays though
Crit variance still fucks me over if I don't get Devilment or Chain Stratagrm or Battle Litany
Speaking of DP
Now that I have leveled a DNC and know the rotation
Why do some choose to DP a caster over melee
Ilvl
Not really
If a caster is doing more damage than the melee by a good chunk, I’ll prio the caster
I remember me and a sam being same ilvl (600) and the DNC chose to DP the RDM
I thought sam wasn’t the ideal dp anymore with the patch
We were doing good damage though
Not ideal but they still do a lot of damage
Anyway, the RDM was below us in damage by a good margin
And they probably weren't even getting enough esprit from them
In older content (70 ults) u usually prio smn but idk much bout 90 dp
It's :
NIN > MNK/RPR > SAM/DRG for melee I think
So is it based off sks/sps
Yee was about to send that
There’s also a calculator in that channel
I assume depending on gear and stuff
It's just bleh when I get top DPS even though the DNC DPd someone else
Esp someone who doesn't really need the crit buff like SAM or DRG
Less sour about it if they're actually decent
íf u aren't speedrunning why bother doing cursed shit for uptime
To cause wipes
Sometimes I do the cursed thing of DP the DRK for opener, then swap to a caster then a melee for the rest of the fight
Act 2 uptime
Will fire break on the right time or will u all die 
Just don’t bring melees
u dont have to greed to avoid grey parses
you can play it safe as a melee and still get blue-purples
just get ur fundamentals down
developing greed strats to get 2 gcds in wont mean shit if you lose 20+ worth of gcds due to a lack of gcd roll/clipping or severe rotational mistakes made during uptime
it's not really about not needing the crit buff on drg
it's just the gcd makes it a bad dp which is why it's equal to sam who actually doesn't benefit that much from the crit buff but has a fast gcd
Ninja tho 
seeing how high hyoshos can crit is p entertaining

Say for ultimates i cant just go in with my current gear right? I need to get the ilvl sync gear?
not required
!faq ultisync
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 calculator, which supports syncing to both 70 and 80:
https://bit.ly/XIV-TANKDPSCALC-EW
you do gain dps with a properly kitted out on-IL set but it shouldnt really matter at all
oh that's good to hear
just find gear with the substats you want on your class at the appropriate iL and you should be good to go
Nice
i am so confused at party finder doing act 3 for some reason i got d1 shouldnt i be on the middle?
like this one ignore the pict quality i stole it

but they asked me to go to the letters waymark which is a bit offset
Yall have waymarks for shaker baits? Goddamn
Basically don't stack them and don't fire them at the rest of your team
That's all that you need
that is what i am doing but a static called me out what i am doing was wrong that i should not be center but offset from center right at my tower
so i am confused
clipped like D2 twice doing that
tell them they're being stupid
you could also ask for their reasoning, but i doubt they've anything good to say
it's a static tbh i just don't wanna argue since the MT is so insistent on doing it his way
im not sure how the others dont see the red flags in what you're describing
its precisely because this is a static that you can tell em they're being stupid
you're stuck with these idiots, then you gotta make it work out
yeah, i did that like.. week 1
i remember..
and sure it worked sometimes
it wasnt the best way to do it
there was no reason to do it that way
it is like more room for MT but less room for D1 and D2
D2 doesnt adjust and i got slammed with him
in the end we never see a clean ACT 3
dude that is literally what i am doing
💀
so like the first one right
well it doesnt work if you cant get the others to do that >:V
i go to middle
then MT for some reason stick really close to me

he is like on ST tower
《Act 3 (Xeno)》――――――――――――――――
MT D3 【ST, H2】Bait kicks
ST ● H1【MTD1D2】Earthshakers #1
D1 H2【D3H1D4】Earthshakers #2
D2 D4
deez macro
MT ST D1 D2 so he wants to resolve everything like himself on ST me on D1 and D2 on D2 then he go to MT tower
has he tried not being a little bitch and just run to the tower after baiting shakers at boss cardinals
idk man, i dont like your MT
For level 90 what armor should I start melding at? Augmented Classical or Radiant?
Not sure if armor stuff can go here due to this mainly being about raids.
Or at least mostly talked about.
augmented classical
there should be a list of what to meld on them for your job on the balance somewhere
Luckily I am on The Balance server
I've hit CC 😮
Ezpz clear
YEah now the problem, getting another party that will hit part 2 again :V
That previous party hit it first try around in PF :V
dont they grey out the duty complete so you know someone hasn't actually completed in the party though?
or is this pf reclear?
I mean it doesn’t matter
i've actually wondered why some of the tags are greyed out sometimes?
It’s a c41, everyone else should have cleared
like how come some times duty complete is teal, and sometimes it's grey
It depends on what u set the pf to
Loot makes it gold
I think duty completion makes it blue
And nothing is grey?
And practice green
ah there's one up right now
p1s
[duty complete] [one player per job]
but it's grey
Yeah cos there’s nothing set
Duty complete and duty completion are different things
Ye
practice green, loot yellow, completion teal
It’s basically when ur making a party it asks what the party is for it gives u like 3 options: loot, practice, completion and then under that is where u check duty complete or duty incomplete and ilvl etc
yeah i think i was confused because when i started PFing someone told me people "faked" tags
and you should avoid all grey parties
and i didn't really believe them but i also never followed up to figure out how it actually worked
Hmm idk, u can fake a prog point by using duty complete
right i've seen my share of fake parties
I’ve seen ppl make reclear parties for ultimates with duty complete on even though they haven’t cleared the ultimate
but the color of the tags isn't the issue
hell, i've seen [weekly reward unclaimed] that were 7/8 once we instanced
Lmfao
tbh I'd rather have some more CC practice before i make clear parties
The parties being grey have a definition?
I don't think u need much practice to resolve cc
Move out and break tether at ur number
Dodge the proteans properly
It only really gets dicey if ur a healer
Most people progging this late will be traps
question, what is considered the hardest part of UWU?
Suppression
Finding someone with AM is the hardest part
cheats...

p3s has the highest number of trap people ever. kff/FoA into kill groups become darkfire/adds prog more often than not, you are lucky if you reach FoA once in 5 pulls
I'm a healer you know that?
It’s not that bad just focus on healing
oop
If ur whm do medica 2 into medica 1s and aflatus raptures, ast same shit
Also u should have lilybell there so it’s not horrible
Because that shit makes you cry compared to the shit you have to heal in the previous fights
Agree with ur coheal on which one of y'alls are using your big cd first
Imagine both your healers healing, couldn't be my static

urgh my eyes are killing me
for the 12/6 timers, do you move at 12/6 or make sure you snap at 12/6?
kinda group dependent but better to snap at 12/6
so leave at 14/8
the correct thing is to leave as soon as the guy before you did by paying attention
but leaving a second before your timer is fine

whoops wrong chat
glamour is end game m8, but the top one
def 1st
I'm also mulling over trying using corsages anyway, I've reposted in #glamour-discussion
i would say the same for P1 tbh
like holy hell i can't get to P2 for 2 days after progging to ACT 3
p1s is so easy though, you can eat like 4 damage downs, a million deaths and somehow still clear it
that is a cap
they mean p4p1
dps check is so tight
50% is not gonna cut it you need 49%
p4s p1
and people are bad at belone coils
well
Lol I was like p1? Damage check? lmfao
take your damn tether
1 death is already shaky
138 pulls no kills
its actually depressing how bad pf is


1 death isn't shaky unless it's mechanics 
too bad yall arnt on aether, otherwise Ill drag you two through p4
when you see how bad D3 and D4 in PF
not dealing dmg
only melees
1 death on pt2 == instand death
Oi Im fine > _>
end my suffering
I'm shitting on pf melees
OH i thought you were shitting on ranged > _>
that's not good lol
in a p4 reclear 
I remember doing dnc in like 510 gear for e9 prog back when I first started
My friend in suffering 🤝
but never have I seen pf as bad as in p3s
Synced unreal content? Top dps, get auto nuked if tanks die 
EX3 farming? Half the time when tanks die it's haha eat tankbuster
get auto nuked because tanks fuck you over with hitting you with aetheroplasm
sad part everyone who is good at p3s already doesnt want to ever do that fight again in their lives

so I'm left with bottom 1%
true
just need 7 capable players for like 5 pulls max and its kill, and I can skip that fight forever
just skip it now
Melees when I haven't been burned out from savage pugs? Oh look, there's a rpr at 8th dps
I spent way too much time on it to not kill at this point
L
it's literally always the melees

I have seen how you can carry a fresh healer through p2s in 30 mins with a team of purple parsers, through MULTIPLE deaths and near wipes
In pugs? Hahaha ha eat enrage
me and one of my static member can carry 3 freshies through p1 or p2
I refuse to touch p3s PF ever
my highest p3s is a 75 now
is rewarding players for kill banned?
I forgot what SE stance on it was
That carry wasn't even a static lmao
Just a bunch of FC mates who were bored after a p1s teaching session and just went why not
Is it possible to get that high in pf
And actually cleared 
surprisingly yeah
"come kill p3s, if u dont suck = 100k"

where blue?
my highest was so lucky
jk
i got an 84 in PF
L
