seorin posted:It obviously requires luck, but I've hit 8/8 just by doing Utmost Caution + Single Mind + Impulsive twice, then two more impulsive (or impulsive and then methodical if it procced). If at least 3 of them proc, it should be 8/8. I have 576 perception, though (and try to use food buffs on top of that). It's not really worth it because you don't seem to get anything special from it, just landborne/leafborne aethersand, which don't seem to have a use currently. They probably will eventually though so I'm tempted to buy up all the cheap ones on the mb. I'll play around with that rotation some today and see how it goes. Thanks!

Zilkin posted:Can you play through the othe two cities starting questlines somehow? Actually, I kinda want to know this as well. I made a test character on another server to check my fantasia's appearance and was forced to go through the opening cutscenes. I'm just saying Limsa Lominsa's opening is way better than Gridania's.

I just hit 50 on a new character. Are Mythrite items worth buying from the AH or will the MSQ supply me with gear?

Just to tack on to this, after ten gathers I'm probably going to stick with this rotation; at a minimum with no procs if gives 4/8, with one proc 6/8 or 7/8, and with two or three procs 8/8 while also giving 2 gathers. Thanks seorin! fakeedit: after one proc I just got two 8/8s so yeah this is the correct rotation

Sendo posted:No, the new monk skills were just poorly thought out and form shift makes the rest of them redundant for almost all current content outside of Ravana Ex. I got to use purify legitimately in A4 , the dream is still alive Also elixir field owns, forbidden chakra is pretty good. gently caress tornado kick. Even when you do it right it's not very satisfying and the only time I've used it while buffed is Ravana ex burn phases.

ps am no frog posted:I find this hard to believe. You don't mention very much about how you tested it or the sample size. I find it super unlikely someone at i175 has bigger dot ticks than me when I have i180. Maybe there is some weird side stat fuckery but my dot doesnt even tick for 500 on a crit. Did you test this for more than like 2 ticks. We were watching the numbers through quite a few Lead Shot durations. They definitely weren't crits, those were hitting for over 600. The methodology was really simple, the other MCH would hit the dummy and we'd watch his 250s pop up, then I'd Lead Shot it and watch 500+s popup. Like I said in the other post, when I swapped down to 170 gear, I was getting similar damage to him. Not sure why you'd be seeing lower numbers than what I'm getting, are you talking about DoT ticks on a target dummy for consistency's sake?

With one Lead Shot on the target the game reports 250 damage hits, and with two Lead Shots on the target it reports 500 damage hits? I see what's going on there.

Is he using enough of his threat combo? Is he using Grit? Are you dpsing while in Defiance? Are you mashing the absolute poo poo out of your threat combo? If none of your other DPS are coming close to pulling threat off of the "bad" tank, that generally says something more about what you're doing than what he's doing.

If you have similar item levels and weapon you are just shameful to lose hate to a tank in an offensive stance. If you're in content that you outgear a tank to the level where you can't help but pull hate in an offensive stance you're probably in content that you should be main tanking in an offensive stance in the first place.

I was going 1-1-1 Path-Eye-Block in Deliverance and steadily swapping aggro with him after 6-7 combos. I couldn't slow down too much or else I'd drop down to 3rd.

Not much of a loss, and no risk of that happening.

ilifinicus posted:At this point you're either full of poo poo, misremembering or in denial. Record it or something I just tested this with an I190 weapon and overall i180 with gauss barrel on and hit a tarantula hawk (level 58) with lead shot and then sheathed my weapon. Every tick hit for around 280-289 except for one which hit for 400 so I assume that was a crit tick. So yeah, not seeing this effect either.

But other people on reddit are saying 500 is impossible in i180 so I dunno maybe it's a visual bug or something

Klades posted:One thing to realize is that the optimal Drk rotation involves never using their enmity combo ever, which is generally sufficient unless undergeared or the OT is spamming threat Maybe in single tank content or something but I'm pretty sure it's better overall dps if you use your enmity combo enough and absorb the slight dmg per gcd loss compared to having your OT skip entire GCDs.

Like one or two dark arts 123 enmity combo should give him enough of a threat lead. Why are you full STR anyways? I guess since it's normal mode? As hard as these bosses hit in normal I think both tanks are going to have to be in full vit with any kind of tanking being required in savage.

As hard as these bosses hit in normal I think both tanks are going to have to be in full vit with any kind of tanking being required in savage. You get enough Vit naturally and in Defiance with cooldowns that you can take pretty much everything in NM and still be okay, but mostly it's just because full Str is a lot more convenient for leveling.
