Mr. Nice! posted:Are you saying you can skip the first active time maneuver? We typically skip a bunch of mechanics in that fight but have never done that. No, sorry if I was unclear. To my knowledge it is impossible to skip the Active Time Maneuver, but if you can get him to 60% either before he starts it or within about 2 seconds of him landing afterwards, you will skip the entire Lapis phase and go directly to Eternal Darkness. The timing issue is with getting him close enough to 60% beforehand, since if he isn't stuck doing a laser sword at 63% he will start the ATM and no matter how good your group is you will not be doing 3% of his health in damage in less than one GCD after he lands, even with a well-placed LB1.

The first two fights of every savage raid tier right now are completely puggable. You could throw up a PF today and clear all of them if you wanted.

Yeah we usually push way before that sword so we don't ever have a chance to make that one push in particular.

There's a Video Games on my server aswell and I've seen that exact advert from them except it was like 90th percentile and included the phase "no shitters" I've talked to them before and they're actually mostly chill but at the same time it's probably serious e: Actually speaking of the PF, on my server everyone says "practice" but the entire rest of the datacenter seems to say "training" and I find it really weird.

(From the looks of it and without knowing his server, the evidence I saw suggests this player is actually very good) He most certainly is, and we had a pleasant discussion about Heavensward's raids which make me believe that he's not a dick either. It still makes me sad seeing PFs like that, but I suppose that's what happens when a fight's only challenging mechanics are beatable by high dps and virtually everything else in the encounter is dull. I don't think I could be more disappointed with Zurvan, especially after how awesome Sophia was.

I really much prefer 4v4 feast to 8v8 feast but the unrated is 8v8 only. I don't know what the hell they were thinking by having no off-season and no unrated 4v4, it's like they want no one to have practice for the actual rated fights. The set-up made some of the chat pretty vicious if you came in to rated matches mid-season with no rank. Of course, rather than doing the rational thing and allowing people to practice unrated, they just took away chat in the feast. Of course, not only is 8v8 a bad place to practice because of the different numbers, but because the class set up is random. You can change your job at the start, but you can't change your PvP abilities. I really don't get what they were thinking. I like both 72 and 24 frontlines evenly, but I wish they'd mix things up more often. Before Garo, it was all 24, now it's all 72. It's all shatter, too. I think it'd be awesome if we could get an old 50 frontlines going with 72 man. I've yet to see one pop.

I just can't help but to keep looking at it. I play pretty hard and do my best, but I can't imagine not only being that good, but finding 7 other randos who are also that good. An average ilevel of 270 means you have to be completely decked out in Savage Creator stuff, doesn't it? Or I guess improved Shire gear, but I don't think that's possible yet.

TBH I don't know why they don't just make secure/slaughter lvl60 instances, I don't think there's much value in keeping them at 50 and it just serves to make them irrelevent (well that and the fact that secure kinda sucks). It'll be super weird if we never see shatter and seal rock after Stormblood comes out, also.

Note that virus from a non ACN does not put a magic damage down on the target and prevents an ACN from putting one on. So, look up which tank busters aren't physical or just don't use it if there's ACNs around.

I just did The Feast for the first time. Is it supposed to be 16 people ineffectually slapping each other in the face with pool noodles? Because that's what it felt like. I would run face first into the entire enemy group and still not die because just one of our healers could outdo the entire damage output of the opposing team (and vice versa) PVP might be fun if they banned healing spells altogether.

2 questions: 1) Is there any practical difference between the ilvl200 pickaxe you get from the I Mined That V achievement and the ilvl 200 pickaxe you get by upgrading using red scrips? 2) I'm finishing up my umbrite step soon. What stats do I want to stick on my weapon if I'm a monk?

I've definitely been in feast games where it feels like no one's doing any damage, especially in 8v8. But those are usually games where there are either too many tanks/healers, or the DPS clearly don't know what they're doing. It's far less common in 4v4. I actually just did a few games of the feast unrated and it looks like they fixed the lock on the PvP skills now so you'd really think people would settle on better comps when they get in, but there are a lot of people who are helluva stubborn about what job they are going to play in PvP. Also, I'd take any Frontline over Shatter. Even though I don't get my own LB bar in 50 secure, still better than Shatter.

And yeah the loot system for it is literally the worst. At least you're not longer limited to one per week and wind up screwed and behind par because you couldn't win a loving roll that week.

Asimo posted:The only hard part to Cruise Chaser (well, normal anyway) is the propeller wind near the end. Except even this far after it's been out you still see people who get too wrapped up in the other stuff, forget it happens, and proceed to get confused and wipe the group. The hard part is when the floor is full of lasers, because dodging stuff while keeping people healed can be tricky.
