A yard, who’s length is equal to a metre

But then it'd be a meter and not a yard :psyboom:

A yalm is 1/3 of the distance at which you can reach a monster with a melee attack, duh.

the biggest injustice in this game is they add emotes for the three exercises in the one punch man workout but there's no word for kilometre in the eorzea vocabulary

A thousand yalms is close enough.

Now replace Tornado Kick with Serious Punch.

A thousand yalms is like 1 tenth of the distance :colbert:

so I guess 10 thousand yalms would have to do

The metric system is a tool of the Seven Hells!

My chocobo gets 40 fulms to the ponze of feed, and that's the way I likes it!

I said at the time that any house that TPT moved to, even if it *was* the plot 30/60 mansion, would be a slight downgrade from the beachhouse.

I was loving right, and the market board/retainer bell/aethyrite near the new house infuriate me because of how closely they are packed next to eachother.

At least its not me. Though SA is also having connection issues, maybe comcast caught on fire. I cannot load anything from Square Enix's website and the launcher is blank whenever I open it.

I've read that it's a more widespread thing yeah, though I'm on UK Virgin Media so it's a bit wider spread than just comcast alone.

A kilometer is one thousand meters. One yard yalm is about .9 meters, thus 1000 yalms is about .9 kilometers.

Close enough. :colbert:

So what’s Ifrit-Egi good for these days? Pre-Stormblood, I used him for single-target DPS (i.e., boss battles) and Garuda for mob clearance, but now that Garuda’s been revamped to boost magic damage on a single target, what’s Ifrit’s niche? Eight-man PVE where every other member of Team DPS does physical damage?

Everything, even AoE. You might make a case where Garuda is better with a bunch of casters but it's gonna be a lot of work not so great gains outside of the opener.

Beyond that probably just keep an eye on how much travelling ifrit has to do to his targets. His shits always had higher numbers but the faster CD now means more ruin4 procs and radiant shield is good now (as long as it's working anyway).

Ifrit is just all around better. He does more damage, he hits more often for more Ruin 4s, he boosts your party's physical dps, and best of all you can leave him on sic.

Fair enough. That also apply when soloing?

Pretty much. Only real exception is pulling out Titan-egi for a FATE boss or something you can't safely facetank.

Middling SMN here, there are basically two use cases for Garuda right now. One is in Savage pulls, where you start the fight with her out and on Obey, have her use Contagion, then immediately switch to Ifrit-egi on Sic. The second would be if you have more than one caster in your party, in which case the Contagion magic resistance debuff might outweigh Ifrit-egi's higher damage and attack speed/Ruin IV procs.

Titan-egi is for solo content and occasionally in dungeon runs where your tank disconnects, there's not any reason that I've ever seen to use him in serious content unless someone's come up with a very out-there gimmick.

I've finally killed all of the World Bosses in XIV. :dance:

Now if I could just do Prey Online one more time for the horns and Behemoth two or three more times so I can get some of that fancy loot, I'll be in business.

Edit: On an unrelated note, does my room look nice (at least from the angle you see it)? I plan on getting a few more decorations, but I'm happy with how it came out so far.

Great use of light, but it's a box. Try playing around with subdividing the room, or at least having a centerpiece in the middle.

You have two pictures of two turds and Raubahn on the wall, you might want to clean that up.

Also like Jorge Bell says, try partitions to give it a more house like feel rather than it being a cube.

Obviously, that group is one of the best in the world but Golden doesn't look incredibly terrible to deal with in the context of the fight, seems like an issue of getting the hang of that phase. The number of things you have to deal with are hugely cut back by comparison so it almost seems like a breather compared to trios/octet/twin+nael phase.

Golden is definitely just a burn phase. Finishing the nael/twin adds in time looks rough.

Also, I believe it's confirmed that you need Bahamut Prime Azul below 60% before Octet or Bahamut Prime Dorado will be enraged and kill you.
