I checked out SMN for the first time since coming back, and man, it seems that class has changed. Back then, it was get to trance -> trisaster -> contagion -> bane for maximum dottage, then spam ruin 3 or whatever it's called and end trance with a flare. Now i only have two dots instead of 3, and contagion doesn't extend dots anymore? So much for the 'tri' part of that skill. And are you supposed to spam tri-bind or whatever it's called in trance now? I'm so confused.

What dps jobs are the most lenient in terms of having a high ping (no au servers yada yada)? I'm interested in ninja and bard (I'm a sucker for utility dps), but I've heard ninja is borderline impossible at higher pings, even after the changes. Dragoon seems fun too but combining being locked in place for 2 seconds and high ping is probably a recipe for disaster.

Neither of them rely on buffs that speed up your GCDs, or a burdensome amount of oGCD weaving, and yeah, your latency isn't going to make your DRG jumps any better, but jumping at the wrong time and dying is a feature, not a bug

Tri-Disaster now boosts your Ruin attacks for a certain period of time in addition to dropping Bio and Miasma (which have both had their potencies buffed) on the enemy’s rear end. Spam Ruin III on single targets when in Dreadwyrm Trance (unless you’re in the 60-70 range and your Ruin Ii just procced into a Ruin IV), spam Tri-Bind on groups.

AngusPodgorny posted:That looks like a rotation for the easier 2* recipes, but not the Ala Mhigan gear. The recipe for that is the same concept as Rath's (unless you have the stats to use Initial Preparations - Specialty: Reflect), but you want to buff the touches as much as possible too. For example, the rotation I use is: The first five steps here are pretty common when you're below gear or all normal quality, but the other stuff has some variation. It's not what I do. I'm at a happy 464 cp unbuffed. The whole point of this rotation is to buy cp on time wasted. If your gear is good but you still need a lot of HQ mats while using it, then clean up the last bit. If your gear is good and you have HQ, save your sanity and use one of the faster rotations.

hihifellow posted:Where are they dying during black hole, at the black hole damage, during fire 3 phase, or at holy? I've been trying very hard to have people topped off and ideally shielded before Black Holes goes off. I'm not sure why (logs would help but I'm not at my desktop), but Fire III seems to be causing a ton of deaths with our DPS players, and if a DPS dies then a tank or healer is probably dying to Fire III double-tap bullshit too. Our pattern is to have the tanks go N and E and healers go S and W then circle about 90 degrees clockwise, and DPS spread out around Exdeath's general area. The issue that I'm seeing with that is that one of the tanks is out of healer range and sometimes gets very low or dies if I don't get Excogiaton on them at some point; Fey Union only helps so much. If I'm not mistaken, the Holy itself only hits for about 10k if everyone is stacked up, so that doesn't need much healing. Hell, regen from WD and Medica II would probably suffice. whatever, gpose is the real end game. Here are some elves who look like they'd like to tell you the Good News about Halone.

There shouldn't be any damage to the raid between white hole and black hole and everyone needs to be topped off for white hole so you shouldn't need to be scrambling to heal before black hole. It doesn't do enough damage to need a shield either. Cast a succor and a medica 2 timed to hit after the black hole damage goes out and everyone should be topped off and have a shield and hot for fire 3. The main tank does take a couple autos before black hole so will likely need a cure 2 or excog prior to black hole. Toss in a roused fairy hot and you really shouldn't need to heal the rest of the mechanic, though an Indom before Holy for messy stacking is always good insurance. First off since the first fire 3 is DPS, even if they die, healers and tanks shouldn't be getting double hit by the next fire 3. That would suggest that DPS are dying to black hole prior to fire 3. Either way, with gear as it is, dying so early suggests there's some loving up going on in the mechanics section, not healing. Likewise, don't think the boss autos there so I see no reason for the tank to need extra heals unless he's loving the poo poo up. You used to need good fairy timing and Indom timing to make sure everyone was high enough prior to the Holy, but with gear where it is and the succor buff, I think the mechanic is a lot more forgiving for healers. You probably just need your group to get more practice. You might want someone in your group to start logging so you can see who's dying to what.

Due to the randomness of the black hole positions, it's pretty easy for a DPS to panic and either walk right into one or avoid black holes *too* much and clip somebody else with their Fire3. Especially if you have more than two melee DPS who are all trying to keep uptime on Exdeath. What worked for my group was to loosely assign directions to the DPS as well as the tanks and healers, and they stay in roughly that direction from Exdeath unless black hole positions make that impossible. Sometimes you just have to miss a couple of GCDs and stand at mid range until your Fire3 hits and its safe to go back in. Luckily the second set of black holes is a bit simpler to deal with (unless a black hole appears right inside Exdeath and somebody fails to notice). The moving black holes also have a deceptively large hitbox so letting one pass close by is just asking for trouble.

Sometimes you just have to miss a couple of GCDs and stand at mid range until your Fire3 hits and its safe to go back in. Seconding all this. Somewhat useful tip - it can be really hard to see the spawning Black Holes because they blend in with the ground effect. To see them, bring your camera to the ground so you're looking horizontally. Black Holes stand out against the skybox. My group assigns each black hole target a cardinal direction to head to as Black Hole is being cast. From there, each of them gradually moves clockwise to the next cardinal direction. The tethered black holes end up more-or-less on the outside with their targets, giving more room for the DPS to stay on the boss (admittedly, we have SAM/NIN/RDM/BRD, three melee would be trickier). The tether targets can then start moving in from the outside as the second half of Fire III goes off, and getting in for Holy isn't too tough. At this point, your group should have mostly 330+ gear, so in principle the DPS check should be easy. Err on the side of not dying.
