nuru posted:Have any of the LL mentioned things like PLD quality of life improvements (Shield/Sword oath off GCD, Sword Oath adds potency to abilities rather than auto, flash doing damage, etc)? Nope. They always stay pretty quiet on class changes though other than mentioning they are coming, which they haven't done for paladin as far as I know.

I was doing that pull with unspectacularly geared tanks first week with comfort.

I hate that last pull with pubbie tanks, because they usually try to respect the content and refrain from pulling the last pack. Which means I have to do it. Which means I get healing aggro. Which means I can't spend much time casting holy.

I've been killed so many times pulling the full group while popping cooldowns like I'm in an e/n thread and they are made out of klonopin that I am a bit gunshy there. It really does all come down to the healer.

Velthice posted:I'm on my phone away from home so this is gonna be simplified, but the idea is that for maximum raid dps, you have the war pull with unchained with nin assistance for an massive threat lead. Warrior pull is helpful for dark knights, in which case you should take some care in where you BB, but you don't need unchained for this. Spend those stacks on a fell cleave. e: Assuming you're getting shadewalker in there, of course. VHGS fucked around with this message at 21:38 on Jan 1, 2017 |

The pro strat is to have a long enough count down before the fight so the warrior can pop infuriate, use a vengeance to keep up stacks, and then will still have it back off cooldown for triple FC after you build stacks in unchained defiance.

Then you're warrior is losing 25% of their damage from the time they spend in defiance, which half the reason you have a warrior pull anyway (no lost damage from tank stance). The other issue you have is then your dps have a real chance of catching your mt, which means more power slashes which is a huge dps loss, and thus a raid dps loss. At that point you might as well have your drk pull anyway because you hosed your damage anyway. You want to do absolute maximum raid dps? You have the warrior pull with unchained.

If you have a different opener that you think makes the raid do more dps then yea, I want to hear it. I don't care about maximizing the war's own dps at the cost of the raid, I don't care about what goofy poo poo your own personal group does that isn't anything close to optimal. This is about, "the absolute best" pull for the entire group.

No, you just pull in deliverance. If you need a little more threat, start in defiance and switch after like one or two gcds. Unchained is turbo overkill. You still end up with more threat for your DRK this way because the WAR is doing butcher's block for damage and blowing berserk. You shouldn't need power slash.

Starting in deliverance means you lose too much threat, starting in defiance without unchained means you lose too much damage. e: Also, you can just prepop infuriate with raw intuition like Mr. Nice! suggested and have it back up in time for the pull.

Is that enough threat to carry the fight though? I'm asking because I'm genuinely curious. If your drk has to power slash an extra time you've more or less equalized the damage, if they have to do it more than once, than you lost damage.

So, how about that new years greeting poem from Yoshi P? "Look ye where the sun doth rise, See crimson embers, dark'ning skies. Look ye where the sun doth fall, See azure lost amidst the squall." Combined with the Red Mage outfit in the picture and the fact that introducing red and blue mages at the same time would be the kind of goofy thing I could see them doing for a quasi-thematic reason, I have to wonder...

If your drk has to power slash an extra time you've more or less equalized the damage, if they have to do it more than once, than you lost damage. As far as I can tell that is what the majority of speedrun groups do. It seems like it just works but the edge is fairly thin and you might get owned totally if dps have better weapons than the MT. Maybe if there was a fight with a lot of uptime and hp you would run into problems, but 9 dies too fast (and you can run 6 dps anyway), and everything else you spend a lot of time dicking around where threat management CDs can come back up. My group only runs DRK on 12 right now, and we ran into an issue where we wanted shadewalker for the General's Time, so it's not back up until after the first stasis, and the AST would occasionally rip around there even with smoke. We ended up putting a bandaid over it by spending some time in grit. Unchained pull didn't occur to anyone but might have also worked and would have been better than that, but I think just having the scholar heal a little more would cost nothing and solve it as well if we spent the time to work it out. It stops being an issue after that spot, though. It's also easier with 275 weapons which we did not have. Every other fight we just have the MT pull in sword oath and it's basically a non-issue because paladin.

I guess I don't get relatively high rank chocobo racing. I feel like if I'm not tilting up 100% of the time I'll never keep up, but there's no way to have enough endurance to pull that off. Whether I win or not comes down to lucky item pickups, and even then I lose more often than not. And gently caress if I want to grind dozens of losses just to get a rank 9 chocobo that can't win races either. Is there something else I'm supposed to do aside from tap back when lathered, stay to the inside of the track, and somehow not be within 20 feet of another chocobo so that they don't magically cause my path to be blocked?

The goon squad came and helped me clear Nidhogg Extreme! And, personal point of pride, it wasn't a carryjob. I just needed 7 other people who knew what they were doing. Cool fight. More fun than Sophie, not as cool as Thordan. Now for Sephirot and then I will find peace.
