Right, but he uses the dodge action in specific.

Blockhouse posted:Okay it seems like running Trusts will probably be the fastest way so I don't have to return to the Bozja mines. Just curious if you included the EXP earring for Trusts, since it'd work for them but not EO 21-30 or Bozja. Also, I was wondering why Trusts and not going Duty Finder, but then I remembered they didn't give us a non-DPS role for DT. The queues for the 81-89 dungeons are going to crawl for them but be even more instant than usual for Tanks and Healers. Might be a good time to work on the tank mounts...

Thanks to those that mentioned the event duty's phoenix charge button did a ton of damage. I had caught the 'counter everything' strategy but had ignored that one since I didn't need a gap closer. If you use both whenever possible the fight goes really fast.

I tried to dodge something that didn't have the countdown but presumably messed up the timing and it didn't work, so I assumed for the rest of the fight that it only worked when it had the countdown. I did use the other thing on cooldown through so the fight didn't drag too much

I want a special raid that's FF15 crossover Garuda and FF16 crossover Ifrit with the guest mechanics from both and then they combine into Ultimate Raktapaksa.

Mainwaring posted:I'd just like to point out that the clue to using the dodge action on mechanics which can be moved out of is that you can clearly see Clive doing just that. You're assuming that between watching my hotbars and watching the floor for AoE markers that I have mental energy to spare to care about what Clive is doing. Unless the goal of the duty is specifically "keep this person alive," I don't give them any thought during the fight. On that note, redid the event on an alt, went in on White Mage, and completely clowned on 16 Ifrit with the duty action buttons. Tamba posted:You forgot the first slide, the one before those two, that shows that you can dodge any AoE, not just the ones with the "PRESS DODGE NOW"-marker: Except there were people who tried to dodge attacks that didn't have the marker and failed to do so, which led them to conclude the opposite was true. So basically it boils down to the system failing to convey that the failed dodge was due to bad timing on the input from the player.

I can't see any way of massaging the math such that Zadnor was ever better xp than at-level dungeons after like 83 even with the most generous assumptions. Babil is 2-4 mil depending on rested and such and it only goes up from there. Even with slower trusts that's pretty good, more with fast queues (granted DT has two DPS) or if you do other stuff like Fates during downtime.

I recently, as in February or so, power levelled someone from 81 to 90 exclusively in dungeons. He started with 0 rested exp. We only ever had to do any dungeon 5 times to get into the next one - so 5 dungeons per two levels. He just had the FC exp buff and food buff. We did it over 3 nights, 3 hours a time more or less. We're also dungeon brained from wow so chainrunning dungeons as fast as possible is how we turn our brains off. So about an hour a level on average. But there are a couple factors: He was dps and generally is a high dps player. I healed, so queues were negligible and my damage output was what you'd want from a healer. Even so, the players we matched with were questionable, but typically tanks would multipull and the other dps would occasionally press buttons. Not sure how this compares to Bozja or other stuff but these are recent numbers.

Of note, during EA and the first few weeks to a month or two of the expac people will be grinding fates. They are still a great way to level up especially when a bunch of people are doing them. Once everyone has capped on their fates for the new zones, this will die off, so get your fate action going early. You can still sometimes throw together a fate party through PF but it's nothing like it will be at the beginning of the expac. In EW, for example, I leveled some jobs from 80-90 with nothing else but grinding out the required fates per zone.

Once everyone has capped on their fates for the new zones, this will die off, so get your fate action going early. Filling out your Shared Fates log is also a really fuckin good way to level an additional job. With both ShB/EW, it took less than 3 zones worth of shared fates (so under 200 fates) to level a job through that expansion. So if you are leveling your main job via MSQ, you could easily level two more to max by doing shared fates along the way.

Vitamean posted:it's so people can turn their brain off while they grind We turn our brains off in different ways then, because after two loops of "race to the next fate and tag something before it all dies" I'm exhausted. Dungeons don't rely on twitch reflexes nearly as much. As for liking Bozja, I like a lot of the stuff in there. I just don't like what interacting with that stuff has degenerated into.

You can hang out and bullshit in chat while you level in Zadnor and you go in the same loops the whole time, I found it extremely chill. Even if it's not The Fastest, it's easily my preference. In dungeons I have to be relatively focused the entire time on actually making them go fast and I get insanely bored really fast. That's pretty separate from my general appreciation of Bozja though. It felt like they were genuinely interested in experimenting with that content; despite the issues getting into them, the duels were some of my favorite content in the game and lost actions were super fun to dick around with. DR Savage is pretty badass too.

I did pop into Zadnor on Primal after Bruceski's post a few pages back and I did see what they were talking about with people waiting in the middle area for skirmishes to pop. Not sure how much that speeds things up now but it is sad if people aren't killing mechs regularly anymore to spawn CEs.

I really dislike Bozja/Zadnor, but I love doing fates, especially when they're very active. I think it's mostly that Bozja and Zadnor are ugly, while the ShB and EW zones are appealing to me. Maybe it's lore appropriate for them to be ugly, but it doesn't make me want to spend time there. Dealing with essences is also a hassle, and I hope the next iteration just makes them like the selectable buffs in variant dungeons. Just have new options/upgrades unlock as you go.

Yeah this is the problem for me too, can't even ReShade my way out of a sea of ugly brown textures. At least dungeons have something interesting to look at most of the time, like the last area of Vanaspati.

I kinda get why the lost actions have the holster system limiting how many total you can bring at any given time for some vague semblance of balance, but the essences should be separate from that, lemme swap on the fly from permanently unlocked essences

Bozja leans into the "WWI trenches" aesthetic too far for its own good and schlepping it across the map is really tedious before you have the riding map.

Bozja/Eureka are some of the only things in the game that actually make it feel like an mmo and it rules that they are doing that again next expansion. I hope they continue to go wild with CEs, bring back the carbuncle race cars so I can see all the bodies pile up. gently caress it — give me conga lines and harrowing hell webs, too.
