I did the diadem last night with a pf group. When we got in there were four other groups in hardmode. We farmed IVs and Vs on dino island pretty well. A caster chest with 80 someodd crit and spellspeed. I ended up with 34 spoils after trade in and still got a couple pterodactyls before we were done. An actual geared 24 person alliance can reliably farm hard mode.

The real timesink with the books is the fact you still only can do 1 at a time, so while yeah you only need to kill 3 dudes in the sylphlands, you still need to take 9 separate trips out there and etc. If you could work on all 9 books at once it'd go by much quicker.

They could do something cool like having a parry trigger a 50 potency counter attack so that it can actually be a useful damage stat, but I doubt they're going to be changing secondary stats any time soon. Maybe in 4.0 they'll change things up. They're going to need to because holy poo poo stats in this game are boring.

To me the issue isn't that gear has parry stats, the issue is that parry itself is a bad stat. Fix that. With raid gear having materia slots, I'm curious what optimal gear will be. For healing, my initial thought is accuracy, since very little level 60 gear has it (and nothing annoys me more than seeing broil miss), but from a pure heals standpoint DET or SS would probably be better.

Skaw posted:The amount of tug noises isn't a super reliable cue for people who aren't too familiar with fishing. There are definitely two different sounds for small fish that have both one and two tugging sounds that don't have any correlation to the fish itself(Tiny Axolotl's will cause both.) You just have to go by the intensity of the sound itself. Eventually you'll learn them. Another tip is that fish bite at certain intervals after casting. The minimum is 10 seconds, up to a maximum of 30. After which you'll automatically end the cast without a bite if there isn't anything compatible with your bait. The same fish will always bite at the same intervals, usually smaller fish early and larger fish later, with Big Fish being at the end of the time frame. Set up a casting macro that uses /echo and /wait to read off a countdown after every 5 seconds, starting at 10 seconds after casting. Some fish will bite on two intervals, like the 15 second and the 20 second. You can even add in what fish bite and when to the echo(/echo 20 sec. - Thunderbolt Eel) if you're looking for something specific once you find out when they bite, so you can just ride it out until it gets away if you know it's not something you want. Thanks for this!

Panic! at Nabisco posted:Welp, scrip fishing just got a whole lot easier Yeah I kinda wish I figured this out while I was gearing up my Fisher. I just randomly decided to start experimenting with the intervals while catching Pipira Pira for money one day about a month ago, and then figured out it's roughly 5 seconds between potential bites. It's still nice cause I really enjoy using Fisher to gear up my Botanist and Miner, while using the Adamantite Ore to sell instead of turning in, and having that instant reminder that Thunderbolt Eels and Axolotls are possibly biting now is a nice thing to have on hand.

Does that mean eels will always bite twice, or that they can bite at either window? If you don't reel in the lure because it's the wrong type of fish you're going to sometimes just lose your bladed / goblin jig, right?

The problem is that no matter what you do, it's going to be hard to justify equipping parry. Even if you assume that it made you counterattack and suddenly worked on magic-based attacks, it's still doing nothing for you if you're not actually tanking something. It should really just be removed, and parry made a fixed percentage thing, and some other stat put in its place that is actually interesting. I feel like this is one of the areas where FFXIV should've looked a bit harder at the trajectory WoW has taken. They had RNG defense stats and accuracy for a long time, then one day went "you know what this stuff isn't actually fun" and took them out.

In WoW if you parry an attack the timer on your next auto-attack is reset so you immediately auto-attack. It's called parry haste and barely anyone in the game knows it exists.

If you don't reel in the lure because it's the wrong type of fish you're going to sometimes just lose your bladed / goblin jig, right? It means they bite at either of those intervals. If it doesn't bite at 20 seconds, it'll bite at 25. If you ride out any bite to just let it go, you need to recast. And yeah, if you don't reel in a lure, theres a chance of losing it. But theres also the inherent chance of losing it anyway when using Patience and not using either of the Hooksets, whether by choice or lack of GP. I still find it worth using Steel Bladed Jigs for straight catching Thunderbolt Eels, just cause if you can gather the Cloud Mica and Adamantite, they're basically free. Just have a friend make up a huge batch of them at once. You save on GP using them for Eels, with only a slight chance of hooking a Dragonhead at the 20 second interval. I've never had 25 seconds NOT be an Eel if thats when it bites. From my experience, when their window is up, they're pretty common. Most of your casts with Jigs during that time period should be eels. They're only really superseded by Pipira Pira in chance to catch during their weathers.

No one cares about OT dps in WoW because of how their tanking system works the MT gets a massive damage increase for tanking and the OT sits there waiting for their one mechanic to happen.
