Fister Roboto posted:The former, without a doubt. With the latter, the tank is only doing 25% more damage while the healer is doing 100% less. I know the original question is from a few pages ago, but yeah the concept is retarded. Any DPS worth their salt will be at least trading aggro the entire time, and if they have aoe then it's no contest. If the tank does somehow hold aggro the whole time it's likely because the dps understand he's an idiot and are holding back on purpose. edit: to get it on a new page

I really like AST. You can heal people and then also distribute buffs to people like a kindergarten teacher handing out stickers to good children.

Otherwise you'll DF into a random group that will clear the dungeon before you can really tell what's going on. Did the second one for the first time on Sunday. Me and another guy missed the authorization part, got lost for 10 minutes, and finally met the group right at the end. No one said a word in chat.

abraham linksys posted:our dps's don't understand the concept of "adds." help. i guess i just live in alexander 1 now the group we just ran 1-2 with ended up with dps grabbing the adds and moving them accordingly, then we went and 1-shot A2. This stuff might be tougher than coil but it seems less like "coil with echo" and more like "coil with echo and a bunch of mechanic nerfs." I have no idea what the hell you have to hit with Recharge to actually recover EP though, so I just jumped out of my Tachikoma and punched poo poo because you only need 1 for bomb dragging. The token system is kinda awful too so hopefully it gets some tweaks. Ouhei posted:So what's everyone guess for the ilvl on Esoterics (AF2) gear? with Alex normal at i190 I would guess at least matching that. I'm hoping they're going to follow the upgrade path as well and be upgradeable to i200 and be dyeable without the insane method for getting dyeable AF1/ 190 and upgrade to 200, with Alex HM giving i200 gear would make sense. Not sure what FF6 Raid 1.0 will give though. Maybe i190 since it'd be better than the lesser tomestone stuff and ultimately worse than esoterics and alex gear due to a lack of an i200 upgrade.

Well, it's one of a few arrangements that allows you to get all the things in four weeks. But first you have to ask yourself if you even want all of the things. The tank body, for example, is a huge piece of garbage and doesn't even look cool.

Evil Fluffy posted:190 and upgrade to 200, with Alex HM giving i200 gear would make sense. I would imagine the new CT tier raid would maintain the "as good as the base high tome gear pre upgrade" pairing, so i190 would make sense if that's where Esoterics come in as a base. What would be interesting about that is that you'd then have 3 sets of gear at 190, and if the highest is 200, gear optimization could get fun. A 50S RAYGUN posted:What is it?

How the gently caress do you beat Garuda? I did it once for the plot with a dungeon finder party that explained nothing at all. The next time I tried, we got killed over and over for half an hour and then gave up. How do you survive that AoE she does in the middle of the room?

The next time I tried, we got killed over and over for half an hour and then gave up. How do you survive that AoE she does in the middle of the room? The 4-man Garuda is oddly difficult nowadays thanks to level syncing and some mechanics that are just plain not there in her Hard or Extreme incarnations. - Don't stand near rock pillars, they'll be chipped away by her AoEs and they reduce damage from her ultimate attack (where she warps to middle and yells RECKONING COMES!) as long as they're not destroyed. Use them only to line of sight Mistral Blast or whatever (the one where she teleports away) - Kill adds when they appear, their detonation damages the pillars - After her ultimate attack, she shrinks the arena, when she teleports away then back in to the center, get behind her, whatever direction she's facing to avoid another Mistral Blast. Hopefully you kill her soon after, but if not - If she teleports outside of the shrunken arena, facing in, book to the opposite side (but still within the shrunken borders) to avoid her third Mistral Blast. This one just plain does not exist in Hard or Extreme and tends to confuse the gently caress out of people Ciaphas fucked around with this message at 03:03 on Jul 8, 2015 |

LordSaturn posted:This bit right here was just absolutely not working. We had a tank who couldn't seem to LB on cue, and our healer wasn't keeping us up high enough to soak the blast, even with a pillar for help Ugh, what a frustrating fight. There are four pillars in the middle of the arena; each one has like 3 'chunks'. You want to go into the phase transition with like 9 of the 12 chunks intact. Generally, every trial has a DPS check where you peel and kill a bunch (or a single) of adda. If you fail this check, you will wipe; however, if you pass it, the AOE will do a relatively trivial amount of damage. If I remember correctly, Garuda's check is pretty much a pass-fail based on how many feathers managed to gently caress up the pillars in the center of the arena. Some of them, like the new Ravana, will not arbitrarily pass or fail based on an add getting through, but a good rule of thumb is that the second adds spawn you peel and deal with them immediately. I think the Garuda check is pretty tough (based on what I remember), and it's not immediately apparent what you're supposed to do (after one of the Mistrals, she will spawn a bunch of Razor Plumes. Kill these before they gently caress up the pillars at the center).

Roegadyn master race, the only difficult decision for me was Sea Wolf or Hellsguard. I made mine a male though, am I a bad XIV player And I'm now in the position of 'a million subjobs I want to level' because I just unlocked WAR and Curious Gorge is a cool dude, but I should also get BRD up to par and WHM because I keep winning those rolls on caster gear. I'll also take Garuda over Titan any day because Landslide is unforgiving on lag. ApplesandOranges fucked around with this message at 03:36 on Jul 8, 2015 |

Is it just me or is the Fat Chocobo kind of tasteless? I mean, it's animated like it's constantly out of breath as you lead it around with food on a string. Like, I guess making "it's funny because it's fat lolololo" the joke just seems dated and offensive with the kind of political incorrectness that only eastern devs seem capable of conjuring up. I'm not trying to be a social justice warrior or anything, honestly. I'm usually the last person to blow the whistle on this kind of thing. Guess it just really rubbed me the wrong way after I first used it and ran around on it a bit.

fadam posted:What's the deal with Alex 4? How did you guys do it? Phase 1: DPS a single leg. For the first batch of orbs, the MT and the OT pick them up with cooldowns. For every second batch after, either the healers or (preferably) the DPS needs to pick up the non-MT set of orbs, since the OT will always get flung into Quarantine. Phase 2: Same thing, but DPS needs to spread the adds out as much as possible to avoid debuff overlap. Take them out to the edges of the arena while slowly taking down the other leg. Make sure everyone is blocking a turret shot whenever possible so that one person doesn't get wrecked. If your DPS is having serious trouble with this, just separate the arena with markers Shiva-style and assign the DPS/healers/tanks to drag adds between those sections. Phase 3: Same thing with turrets and orbs. The tanks need to swap between each Discord in order to ensure that they have sufficient CDs to survive the tank buster. As said above, leave the healers to themselves in the middle and have everyone else spread around outside or by the main boss.
