[austere shoal]

fk that took longer than it should have

now its time to BEE MY HONEY (tomorrow)

i wona piece too

[hollow pecan]

[austere shoal]

aaaahhhhhhh

this is so much easier than M1 what the heck

[hollow pecan]

Guide came up and suddenly everyone gets better

[austere shoal]

i take it back

its brutal af

3%

if you simp (4 hearts) at all you basically fail the dps check

so instead of wiping outright due to failed mechs, you go allllll the way to enrage just to die

its fucking maniacal

[hollow pecan]

Do it for your queen 🧎

[austere shoal]

0.1% enrage

oh my god....

no fking way

[austere shoal]

[prisma forum]

thats gotta hurt

[austere shoal]

she heals 1% for every player charmed

so in that screenie she was at negative 0.1% after casting enrage but the server didnt register

ahahah

[spark socket]

"sheer heart attack" cuz she's the killer queen~

STEEL CHAIRRRRRRRRRR

[austere shoal]

"A2C" parties dying to final fusedown

sheesh

i havent seen enrage in the last 4hrs

im so tired

i maybe wiped the party like twice out of those 4 hrs

[austere shoal]

same thing happened again

another 4hrs and no enrage

week1 burnout time

[austere shoal]

good stuff, first pull and cleared

the not-so-good-stuff is me rolling a 10 on the lootbox I need LOL

[austere shoal]

i lost every loot in M2s as well aaaaa

return to the natural order

[hollow pecan]

Not doing savages for a while, PF is an experience of all time

[austere shoal]

Sure is

Doing PF makes you question the ability of people

The m2s reclear took me an hour and a half

Everyone takes turns wiping the raid except you

[austere shoal]

fuck

PF

im turning toxic

[spark socket]

o no he's morbin

goddamn tho to do this tier via pf, you got a heart of steel

or soul

or both

[austere shoal]

yeah I quite literally

played perfect the past few days, but PF just take turns wiping

just glad to be out of A2C hell

now for cat honse girl action

[hollow pecan]

Remember, no checkpoints

[austere shoal]

Cant relate, never cleared p12s

[austere shoal]

[austere shoal]

the things people do to not play Healers LOL

[austere shoal]

yes

[spark socket]

LETS GOO

[austere shoal]

the sabbath reflex check is something

visual clutter maximum

sometimes her clone loads in but the arms dont glow

[spark socket]

i love my jp visually destructive mmo ❤️

[austere shoal]

bruh the cover

and the clemency

its actually very pog but then the context of "we're not running healers"

and the kitchen sinking of mits

[spark socket]

i can hear the forum posters screeching, i love shit like this

lack of healers encourages to get more creative

[austere shoal]

The full video is here

@spark socket

[spark socket]

plds are healers in a trenchcoat lmao

[austere shoal]

People always dunk on WAR as best green healer/self sustain tank

PLD in the corner teehee

Clemency 1000cure, everyone already knows (and hates) with 500to self

Intervention throwable 4/8s 10% mit + 250cure over 12s (total to 1000cure)
Holy Sheltron same effects but for self

Divine Veil 400cure and a 20k HP Shield

Each hit of confiteor 400cure, HolySpirit/Circle also 400cure

Guardian 1000cure shield

[hollow pecan]

Both warrior and pld can be semi-healer, gnb to lesser extent.

Meanwhile drk

At last drk has higher dmg than other tanks... oh wait

What is drk even anymore

[austere shoal]

Its bad, thats what it is

Levelling all 4 tanks, gotta say DRK is the most skill-checked with almost no incentive for being "good" at ir

On one hand having almost 0 heals means you have to actually plan your mits, time TBN properly, and all that

But when your party starts eating the floor, its near impossible to recover or solo the remainder

[austere shoal]

me: im gonna save my tomestones to buy a Chest piece
M2s reclear: no u, here is her bathwater

lost all the loot again, got another Accessory enhancer

not BiS, but its better stats (overall)

back to m4s hell

[hollow pecan]

At least you're not in healer piety hell

Seriously, why gear for healers has so much piety

[austere shoal]

bahaha so i've heard

Healer BiS is crafted gloves and normal raid boots

extremely cursed gearing

https://tenor.com/view/thanos-snap-emoji-crying-gif-22298553

[hollow pecan]

Mount is a myth

Until x.2

And 99 totems

[austere shoal]

I meant the M4s unibike

My first clear was a book run, DRG spear drop
2nd run dropped NIN knives, lost weap and mount rolls
3rd run earlier MCH gun, lost weap and mount rolls (again)

Im fully 730/720'd except the weap

[austere shoal]

https://www.pcgamesn.com/final-fantasy-xiv/ff14-dawntrail-combat-yoshida-interview

[austere shoal]

at least its fast...

[hollow pecan]

Nothing like not having 90% of the kit

[austere shoal]

getting my 735 weap next week, then the wait for 7.1

[hollow pecan]

Sameish, not playing rn and probably won't till 7.1

[austere shoal]

woooooooo

how much do you think I can sell it for

[austere shoal]

WORLD OF DARKNESS (SAVAGE)

ITS REAL

[hollow pecan]

7.1 in mid november

Can't wait for this new savage AR, many wipes incoming

[hollow pecan]

"I heard you were talking shit about Crystal Tower"

H-hall of novice? They remember?

[austere shoal]

And the 3rd EX trial

Jade Stoa Unreal

[hollow pecan]

Also balans for pvp frontline

So DRK will be more OP probs

And for true gamers (so not me) new Ultimate (Eden)

Only bad news. more msq means more Wuk Lmao

I like how someone threw to name Chaotic Alliance Raids Savage - CARS

Tho it seems it more sth between Extreme and Savage difficulty or at least that's what they are aiming for

And it's only single boss battle, no trash mobs

Prolly small plots will be grabbed heavily later. Not in 7.1 but in alter patches you can upgrade inside size of plot to mansion size (with some additional cost but still)

Man, DT will great with most things but msq

[austere shoal]

Yeap

But the world is gonna end up in trouble (again)

[austere shoal]

ah, i rolled a 36 on the weap coffer this week (not enough, of course)

and VPR weap dropped

[hollow pecan]

[austere shoal]

finally, BIS

[hollow pecan]

It's okay, there will be relic hell. Probably. Unless they go with EW approach

[austere shoal]

the relic's gonna be tied to another eureka-style field expedition? or so I heard

something triangle

[austere shoal]

ceobe get

yo its HUGE

[hollow pecan]

Keep it feeded

[austere shoal]

the content...

how it started

how it went (so close)

[hollow pecan]

Treasure trove next week

Guess will be back to playing sometime next week

[hollow pecan]

This is why the only correct answer is to bring flamethrower to demon child

I say, its about damn time I won it once

[hollow pecan]

Still could've lose to 99

[hollow pecan]

Shortly after 7.1 probs gonna take from XIV, they are really stretching content across months

And releasing raid for Christmas time period, smh

7.1 post msq might motivate me to unsub for short while

[austere shoal]

So all we get on 12nov is the new dungwon and 1 A.raid

Uhhhh

A Raid gear

Oh yea there'a Sphene ex

And byakko unreal

[hollow pecan]

Yeah, if someone is not into raiding, they get

Uhhh

P much 7.1 msq only

And still no relics, even starting progress for them

Idk if it's just Chaos server but it's kinda dead rn, even queues for roulettes takes a short while

[austere shoal]

I look at the parties in pf

Roulette still instaqueues for tank/healer

But yea, noticable lesser people active

Content drought

[austere shoal]

speen lissen tomi

[hollow pecan]

Small indie company

[austere shoal]

I've never done byakko ex legit

Curious how fked it is on Unreal

[hollow pecan]

Byakko ex is honestly not much different from normal version

Probs one of easiest ex you can have

I only recall like extra attack or two really, rest is almost 1:1 normal version of it

Even if you bring 8 blind players to it, chances are you will still do fine

Or I was lucky with PF maybe

[austere shoal]

https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/topics/detail/9b42b2425f3a680caea3281ccd65c99677cb00e2

Potency buffs

TBN and Oblation still dogshiet, and they still got the same mana problems, but these are decent buffs

No more Superbolide memes sadly

Picto qol, auto paint all motifs when entering or restart instance

Not bad

[hollow pecan]

DRk still feels bad

But mainly due to blood weapon still only having 3 stacks

Holy now being 1.5s makes WHM in dungeon even more superior with aoe dmg

Meanwhile sch gets mostly only mp reduction on some actions

And MCH aoe is still ass, why they hate auto crossbow

NIN no longer needs to stay during TCJ

Still shocked they went for buffing others instead of just nerfing 1 job that is Pictomancer

[austere shoal]

Sage also got mana reductions

The 2 healers that have zero mana issues

[austere shoal]

Bruh

New dungeon gear is undyeable

Of course it isnt...

[hollow pecan]

Small indie company

[austere shoal]

sphene got hands

[hollow pecan]

Somehow Palpatine queen Speen return

[austere shoal]

lmao

Jade stoa is a joke

first try and finished

[hollow pecan]

Told you

[austere shoal]

the ice filter in sphene ex

sheesh

[austere shoal]

been a2c for a day now

the ice phase is punishing af

[austere shoal]

blep

[austere shoal]

Also LMAO

https://youtu.be/-WdRD_NQ9dM?si=J50LmZSIwpWE6ExE

[hollow pecan]

Healers are dead

[austere shoal]

DRK feels much better to play now

your 2 useless af mits for dungeons actually have a use

and the raidwide mit being available at lv66 instead of 76 too

[hollow pecan]

Time to take break from XIV, gonna wait till probs 7.2

HAHAHAHA

[austere shoal]

so the maximum vuln stack you can get on Aglaia is 8

and yet im still alive (tank lmao)

ironically the one that can -actually- kill is the miniboss between boss 1 and 2

[hollow pecan]

EW Alliance raids

[austere shoal]

other than just running off the aarena anyway

[hollow pecan]

You can go get like every vuln stack and still doing fine

[austere shoal]

also old man punch actuallly doesnt KB

TIL

yea I went in as DRK and ate everything

lived

that was pretty funny

more entertaining that the raid itself

eating all of thal's ballz

[hollow pecan]

And other tanks are just there to get occasionally red stack marker

[austere shoal]

chasing the guy with the chaser marker

[hollow pecan]

I actually never saw all mechanics in Aglaia due how fast bosses dies

[austere shoal]

truu, you'd have to minivl that

or just have really really REALLY bad dps

i've only seen scales once

[hollow pecan]

Same with scales, only once

[austere shoal]

what a disaster

the new A Raid is great

the 5 boss at once is awesome

[hollow pecan]

Still gonna wait till x.2, not feeling like subbing with content we have rn. Maybe with some new restoration content

[austere shoal]

until the bozja thing comes out

[hollow pecan]

Or that

[austere shoal]

and WoD Savage

[hollow pecan]

Isn't WoD in December

[austere shoal]

7.15 yea

if you're caught up rn

the only new things to do are the A.Raid, Sphene EX, Byakko Unreal, Tribals, Yuweyawata

dont think i missed anything

[hollow pecan]

~~Also still don't wanna see Wuk in msq, still need that break from her ~~

[austere shoal]

cant dodge that one

she's the MC of dawntrail unfortunately

[hollow pecan]

[austere shoal]

they did fix the voicestho

no more "speeeen listen to me"

[hollow pecan]

It might be no more but it left legacy that peeps will still quote on that

[austere shoal]

yep

[austere shoal]

the new ultimate just dropped

weapons look pretty cool, ig its mandatory for an ultimate

[hollow pecan]

Going for ultimate?

[austere shoal]

naw

i wont be unsubbing, but im prolly not doing anything either

anyhoo the weapons are all icy blue

and the half light/dark theme with feathers

[hollow pecan]

Looks cool but not something I would actively try to farm it

[austere shoal]

yea im glad the PLD shield is fugly

SGE one looks awesome

[hollow pecan]

AST nerf in pvp

Someone remember achievement certs

[austere shoal]

Bruh

FRU has been cleared

The catch is they used some plugins/mods to do precise movements

Only reason they got caught is one of the players posting a clear pic, with the plugin running in the background LMAO

Dumb and dumber

[austere shoal]

Ouh

A legit clear!

[hollow pecan]

Imagine using forbidden magic to play XIV which surely doesn't lack any QoLs at all

Couldn't be me

Legit ones did 10 min after plogon ones

[austere shoal]

Chaotic A.Raid is out

[austere shoal]

devswerent kidding

its 24man savage

pure bodycheck and coordination in phase2

[hollow pecan]

rip PF

With clears

[austere shoal]

I mean, its REALLY crazy

they actually delivered hard content

panels that break if 2 people stand on, towers that spread between panels, having to break loooooong tethers within the platform

and even the side adds have their pattern cleaves

[hollow pecan]

So either someone make guide or good luck clearing it with 23 random peeps

[austere shoal]

p1 is cakewalk tho

[hollow pecan]

From videos I've seen not mechianically complex but damn, they are fast to resolve

[austere shoal]

p2, no fkin way PF does it

you have to be aware of so much shit

[hollow pecan]

Yeah p1 seems nice and chill, p2 is living up to the name of being chaotic

It's asking you to get 24 players who are good in savages (at least for now) and has patience

So it will either nerfed or be almost impossible in PF

Unless they will go with requirements like "know your group strat"

But still if you are not into raiding scene then uhhh you still have nothing to do in DT

[austere shoal]

its ok

im still farming wings

ask me how its going

[hollow pecan]

Have you hit 99 totems

[austere shoal]

im at 64

those were the only 2 times i've seen them drop

[hollow pecan]

Feel like you will need those totems to exhcange them later before you get drop

[austere shoal]

speen totems at 44

but thats cuz the trial drops 2 at once

back to A2C hell again

[austere shoal]

24man PF is truly a mistake

[gritty thistle]

what about 24women

[austere shoal]

even worse /j

thats just how "hard" content is in this damn game

have to wait for everyone else to stop sucking

because im just dying non-stop to 23 other peoples' skill issue

for the past 2hrs or so

wasnt so bad when it was 8pax

[gritty thistle]

Are you doing it with randoms?

[austere shoal]

[hollow pecan]

Already dropped from 45m

[austere shoal]

will probably get lower when 7.2 hits

yeah

hence, sell now

(gil is worthless in this game anyway)

[hollow pecan]

True and if you're not into housing even more worthless

Housing is prison anyway, one that keeps you sub to not lose it ~30 days later

[austere shoal]

see, barely a month and the prices have tanked

[hollow pecan]

[hollow pecan]

But... why fixing it after almost a month later...

This gonna fk up peeps

[hollow pecan]

MCH changes 💀

Oh wow, actually nerfing sth in PCT

Well sort of nerf, oGCD less pot but basic combo hits harder

[austere shoal]

MCH literally got zero ST buffs

[hollow pecan]

Healers: here have extra 5pot

forgot how tiring pf is

[hollow pecan]

When PF was ever good

And someone quitting after 3rd/4th try because team can't carry that guy

[austere shoal]

ex4 is harder than this first fight imo

Theres like none brain mechanics
No tank swap, a fixed spot bait that resolves both party/role stack
Pair or spread? Just look at boss castbar
Frog dancers give you 10s to pick the safe side to move

[hollow pecan]

What are these fights

[austere shoal]

Extreme cooking

4 phase adds in a savage tier is insane

[austere shoal]

THE RAM AUTOS ME FOR 50K?

THRU RAMPART?

WHAT

i only have 240k hp

dude

[hollow pecan]

[austere shoal]

[austere shoal]

this add phase DPS check is way too tight

i've been doing it for about 8hrs now

the entire saturday, even

[hollow pecan]

Inb4 nerf

[austere shoal]

ROUND AND ROUND AND ROUND

WE ALL FALL DOWN

[hollow pecan]

How m6s is going

[austere shoal]

used the entire weekend, seen the phase after-adds maybe like 4 times the entire 2 days?

the jumping cat especially

[austere shoal]

Add phase goes like this, as OffTank

Rampart + Sheltron for TB

1st add wave spawns(Yan #1, Squirrel #1 and #2, Cat #1)
Aggro Yan at west, pop 2x sheltron
Pop burst as soon as it comes up, but dont use confettior combo. Use basic 123 combo to kill Yan, while also dodging Cat

Yan #1 dead, 2nd wave spawns

Drop stance, gapclose to west manta, MT will group all squirrels on top of west manta. Throw confiteor combo + aoe gcds focusing west manta

West manta dead

Follow MT to east manta, doing as much aoe to east manta and squirrel as possible

East manta dead, 3rd wave spawns

Turn stance back on, Aggro 2nd Yan at top of map. Position such that Yan is near the top of map while I am near the middle (so healers can reach me)
Have 1v1 with Yan. Use sheltron, rampart, sheltron to mitigate damage. Hold burst

4th wave spawns, aggro 3rd Yan
Hold burst, pop Guardian, wait for Jabberwocky to be targettable
Dodge cat, stun Jabberwocky, burst and throw confiteor combo onto Jabber and Yans

Jabberwocky dies

Divine Veil 1st raidwide

Rampart + sheltron till healers start GCDing, then pop Invuln
After this point, chill and pray for the other 7 people to do enough dps to kill the mantas and squirrels, and for the healers to heal me else I am dead

I lost count of how many times I just died to the Yan autos

Its fr a dps check, a "how good are you DPS at swapping targets and swapping between aoe/st if needed" check

Fking insanity

As for MT...
1st wave spawns
Aggro squirrel #1 and #2, bring to south side
Pop 2x sheltron, use buff but dont burst, wait for 2nd wave to spawn

2nd wave spawns, pick up squirrels #3 and #4, check for Yan death and Manta aggro. Use Guardian
If mantas aggroed properly ranged and Yan dead, gapclose to West Manta
Burn down with aoe combo

West manta dies, sprint to East manta and aoe

East Manta and squirrels #1 and #2 should die here

3rd wave spawns, 1st Jabberwock becomes targettable
Stun jabberwocky. Walk him down and keep aoeing till 1st Jabberwocky dies
Squirrels #3 and #4 should be half HP

3th wave spawns, pick up squirrels #5 and #6. Hold burst.
Wait for mantas to be aggroed, then stand on top of east manta. Burst and aoe it down
East Manta and Squirrels #3 and #4 should die
Bring to West Manta
Pray for enough dmg to kill manta before entire map is covered in puddle, and squirrels #5 and #6 to die before they enrage

[hollow pecan]

Alright that sounds like a huge nightmare in PFs

[austere shoal]

Its alot going on

Party also has to coordinate burst timing or else stuff just doesnt die and we have problems

Theres a full table for each DPS about what add they need to prioritize throughout each wave

On the spot math about whether you should use ST GCD for 500 potency or AoE for 160 x however many adds you gotta count

Also gotta target you big pp potencies on something that will not be dead soon, and make it clezve the stuff you want dead now

Doing this fight makes you realize why SE made all the 7.2 job aoe changes

[hollow pecan]

And PCT nerf on paintings

[austere shoal]

I've been seeing rooms that only want BLM and DNC for rangeddps

Its wild

[hollow pecan]

Yeah I saw somewhere that no one takes pct now

For savage anyway

[austere shoal]

It'll get easier later weeks with more right-side from m5s and tomegear ig...

I really was hoping to get m6s clear this week

Doesnt seem possible now

[hollow pecan]

Not with randoms + no gear upgrade probably

[austere shoal]

The min ilvls are also locked to 741 (full crafted 740 gear + EX4 weapon 745)

Still not enough

[austere shoal]

https://tomestone.gg/character/47103489/nearly-sd

Didnt know there was a site where you could search up literally anyone and check their public logs

My ass apparently white parsed M5S

Savage raids sounds like ton of fun 🙂

[hollow pecan]

But what about m7 and m8

🙂

[austere shoal]

tomorrow

I joined two m5s "reclears" and they went to enrage for 4 pulls each

and one m6s "reclear" with 1 melee 1 ranged 2 casters dps (compared to traditional 2 melee), couldnt kill the jabberwocks in time for like 5 pulls or so

so much time wasted

[austere shoal]

I waited 3hrs for m7s reclear to fill

didnt fill

actually dead game

[hollow pecan]

Dontreil gut

[austere shoal]

m8s got hands yo, why does everything happen so fast

[austere shoal]
