Heh.

Tell me how you feel about a 3% chance when you cure someone who wasn't already topped off to gain a small cooldown reduction to a random skill.

Lilies suck and feel incredibly tacked on, which makes it even worse that Plenary Indulgence is like a parody of the lily mechanic.

I was talking about Secret of the Lily II, which, for reasons unknown, does not actually interact with the lily gauge/mechanic in any way.

That ability should really just proc on every crit instead of 20% of events that have a 15% chance of occurring.

To be fair Susanoo is really picky about positioning, even if you're standing directly on the targeting circle he'll decide to walk forward a few inches.

Years of tanking poo poo like Ravana has trained me to push up into the chests of bosses and get in their face like two boxers at a pre-fight press conference.

Four doors. You pick a door and then one of the other three doors open. Now you have a choice to re-pick or keep your original selection.

If you pick wrong, you're given a goat. It doesn't actually do anything. Just sits in your inventory taking up space.

My DGKK Susan aka partydad clear story:

Joined a group because people BEGGED me (gotta have a taste of that Baph, it's understandable ;) ), it was my newbie run with at least one other person, didn't discord/mumble with anyone, and watched Mizteq's clear video about 1 minute for we ran it. Was supremely nervous, I honestly feel like if we wipe on stuff like this, I'm dragging people down. That made my anxiety 10x worse.

Despite my two deaths, we cleared it on the first try, and it honestly felt like it was handled really good for like 95% of the fight. People stacked, people scattered, moved lightning drops, etc.

That is my DGKK story :)

the first time you died it was because a tank didn't intercept an orb

the second time you died it was because someone misplaced a lightning bolt

Dumb question but anyone here got experience with Reshade on FFXIV? Specifically, I'm finding that my depth buffer is flickering black and it's causing the more interesting effects to break. I could swear it was working earlier and I haven't changed any settings so I have no idea what's causing this :smith:

Depth buffer gets locked when reshade detects an appreciable amount of network traffic from the app it is modifying. Fish around for a patched version without the network traffic check.

I once saw a Susano EX group with a hypercompetent healer who told us not to give a poo poo about the lightning markers and would consistently throw out 10k+ heals so we could just keep wailing on the boss. :aaaaa:

I've had to do this twice as SCH in DF groups. Because they were bad, not because it was planned.

First lightning gets the usual succor reduction, start divine seal because these idiots are bad, succor + indom the 2nd, succor + emerg succor 3rd, then deployed adlo for the 4th. Also roused eos hot ticking since 2nd lightning because you need every help you can get. Everyone is super low now so hopefully other healer woke up and is going to help with ukehi.

Or you can play WHM and thin air some cure 3s and pretend nothing happened :shrug:

Mitigates cheating in competitive multiplayer games. If you've got access to the depth buffer, you could see right through smoke in counter strike, for instance.

If the restriction is self-imposed I assume it's to absolve themselves of accusations of being a "cheating tool"? Not that that matters in a MMO like this but, y'know.

That said I'm having 0 luck finding a patched dll. And I thought my google skills were pretty good :negative:

With any group you sort of roll the dice.

Susano is a really really tight fight. And my biggest problem with it have been healers not pulling their weight oddly enough. And at this point I've seen more tanks loving up and no popping cooldowns/swapping than DPS loving up levinbolts.

Whaaaat.

Yeah it's a pretty forgiving fight. Any single mechanic failure (minus tankbuster/swap) is easy to recover from. Any two in a row are probably recoverable as well, with little-to-no long term effects. It's only when you fail multiple mechanics at the same time that issues start.

Susano has a tight enough enrage that chain rezzing won't clear the fight even if you never actually wipe, as opposed to Lakshmi where you can do whatever and enrage never matters

It's difficult to recover from 'someone forgot to make a triangle during knockback + thundercloud and there's literally no safe spot'.

I have a weird perspective. I don't think I've ever seen Susano enrage. Nearly every Lakshmi failure I've been in was due to enrage.

It's more that I find the idea of one of the consistently worst players and obstinate not-learners I have ever interacted with in the goon FCs having the gall to complain about how bad others are deeply amusing

I went out of my way to not ask FC to do extreme primals in HW solely because I didn't want them in any of my parties. Susano extreme has more tank mechanics than zero so he's probably loving them up miserably as usual.

Both fights have an enrage timer that's like 500 years long, Susano just does a better job of cleaning up groups that are sucking that bad.
