Can I just say I loved getting to the end of the row and seeing “100% overheal”. That was a delicious little treat.

On SusanoEX, all of the top parses seem to be not taking the P1 tankbuster, Assail, which is untelegraphed, as far as I know. What's the trick to avoiding this?

Can you share your config? I like how you have it set up

It's just the rainbowmage overlay out of the box, I'd link it but I don't have the details on this computer. I just googled it and it worked OK, but if you want a more compact parser overlay I also recommend checking out another plugin for ACT called Kagerou. It looks less thematic but it takes up way less space and is more customizable.

Here's what I'm looking at:

My parse: Tank gets 3 assails (as I've seen listed in guides), eats 2. https://www.fflogs.com/reports/z1W693dQt7fN2kwM#fight=1&type=damage-taken&view=analytical&start=25257&end=118054&by=ability

5:47 Parse: Tank gets 2 assails (and they transition to P2 30 seconds earlier, I guess there are timing breakpoints for phase transitions), eats 1. https://www.fflogs.com/reports/mv3nPFrkZK7L8yWq#fight=14&type=damage-taken&view=analytical&by=ability&start=5706716&end=5806799

things that do zero damage do not get listed as having hit

the assails are coming out, they are just being completely mitigated

go look at Casts and then select the ability Assail

Any news on SMN changes? Are we getting Miasma II back or is that just SCH?

I, frankly, want this smug Jagen to be my avatar on all forms of social media immediately.
Is there somewhere special I'm supposed to receive the 1,000,000 gil for leveling to 30 on one of the Preferred Servers?

I rolled a character on Mateus during the trial, and once I bought the game I had 45 days, so I think the 15 free days went through, but I haven't seen anything of the gil. Unless those Aetheryte fees are REALLY loading up behind my back.

Dusk Vigil was also kind of an "eh" first dungeon for Heavensward, I think. The first third or so drags on way too long.

SMN already has Miasma 3.

Edit: For the record they are almost certainly making Miasma upgrade to Miasma 2, not giving SCH two Miasmas again.

alternatively they stated that only SCH is getting Miasma 2, in some form, back

An uncountable number, to be sure.
I just hope Miasma 2 is more than a 5 potency upgrade or something.

How would that reduce SCH damage? They currently have Bio II and Miasma I. I presume Miasma II would have higher potency than Miasma I.

All those buffs and stuff were cool to hear about but what I'd really like is an option to let the normal ambient music keep playing during combat.

It's not bad music per se I'd just rather listen to the zone soundtrack.

let me craft a portable orchestrion player (or POP for short, get it) that lets me play whatever music I want whenever I want. Make it cost a billion gil or even be a mogstation item, i'll fukken buy it

Miasma II was a melee range AoE that dealt 20 damage and put a 10 potency dot on for 15s. Replacing Miasma I with Miasma II would be a dramatic damage decrease.

Plus, there's no way we're getting the heavy and malady effects back, whatever form Miasma 2 takes.

They are not going to do this. Black Mage has single target and AoE thunders seperated.

I do hope they buff this thing so it's more than a 70 pot AoE with a 15 second cooldown, though.

Yeah, Dusk Vigil is probably the worst of the HW dungeons. Well....of the ones in the MSQ. They get better.

The actual lore for it owns, but the dungeon itself is bad. Sohm Al and the Aery are also a little bland? But Stormblood has top notch dungeons for the whole leveling experience, which is an alright tradeoff for HW having a stronger narrative

Yes, I am aware. There's no reason to assume that Miasma II would be the same spell.

Use elusive jump to tank swap when you get the debuff. Then run over to Orn Khai for healing.

Estiniens dialogue has a mistranslation, you need to use Elusive jump when you get the massive debuff.

It's not replacing, it's added as a job specific action, so unless I've completely misread you would have both miasma 1 and 2, with the latter as your aoe damage.

i'm finding this quite easy, i guess in part because i'm a fast type but also because i have a coherent mental model of the world
It still really annoys me that Bio 2's potency per tick is lower than Bio 1's.
