Yeeeaaahh it's the balls of fire. That makes a lot of sense. Is there a spread marker to? A few of us had it at once and we all just spread out and ate that damage ok. Ima feel dumb as gently caress if that was a stack mechanic though.

Orcs and Ostriches posted:The more conservative groups I've seen day one might do the first batch in two pulls, and maybe pull the ape pulls separately after the first boss. It didn't take long to go straight to the wall on the first two pulls, and pull both ape groups (maybe even the dogs with a caster LB). Yeah, I dunno. Unless the guy was somehow being a dick outside of chat, like RP walking or something, I feel like pulling extra poo poo when the guy tanking says he's not comfortable with more stuff is being a dick. He was really up front about it right from the start, at least, and he doesn't seem like a primadonna so much as just not as good at the game as your average tank, and if a tank doesn't think they can handle something, chances are it's a self fulfilling prophecy and they can't. Also posting shame pictures on here and it isn't even an RP profile, c'mon.

As I recall, the last phase goes stack marker, fireballs placed, eyeball on the ground aoe markers, fireballs explode, arena goes on fire except the line where the boss is (this aoe is marked), aoe in the previous safe spot (also marked) and repeat. There are unavoidable shriek hits littered in too. Lots of people gently caress up the fireballs. They run away from them as soon as they spawn thereby planting their eye aoe all over the safe spots.

The Stormblood trials have been doing pretty well. Lakshmi, Susano, and Byakko are all pretty great to me. My taste must be a little off though, because on the other hand, I've never thought Shiva's theme was all that great. Yet when my sprouts were doing it for the MSQ, one audibly said "Hello!" when the transition happened. Most of the ARR trials have been outclassed imo.

Cue me joining a party that wiped ten times in a row, not even managing to get the tiger below 50% HP consistently. ... Byakko has an enrage? Granted, SKULL.GIF posted:I am really impressed that a fight that easy manages to be such a pub slayer. the thing with Byakko is that it has a lot of mechanics that are easy to deal with if you think about them and put effort in, but they're really harsh traps for people who either refuse to do mechanics or just don't want to think about them. I can totally see it being a pubslayer because if you try to be lazy through it, you get punished severely. The healing is also non-zero-effort during tiger phase.

So my wife showed a surprising interest in trying out FFXIV and I thought she'd be able to play on her laptop while I used the PS4 and we could play together. Except I had forgotten how resource intensive the game is on PC and that her laptop has no way of running it at more than 8 fps. So now she's registered a SE account to Steam for the free trial and only way to get her over to the PS4 is to either buy the game for $20 and have a 30 day free period to see if she likes it, or create a new SE account with a new email address that she would have to remember about for one thing.

He does that raid-wide AOE three times in a row, then charges up one more which is the one that instantly wipes everyone.

I need to start stance swapping so my DPS isn't so low. I always put that off because I don't want to be responsible for a wipe if Im not able to go back into Grit in time for a tank buster or something. Anyone have any good advice for tank stance swapping?

Unironically, play WAR, because stance-swapping is oGCD, unlike the other two tanks, for some weird reason.

I've never seen a tank need to go back into grit/etc to survive a tank buster, outside of hardcore prog situations. You should have enough mitigation alone with your cooldowns, and your healers need to take shield responsibility. If you're unsure, it just takes practice. If you find you do need grit to survive certain parts, you'll eventually map the fight out well enough to learn the appropriate times to dance.

Even in Savage prog you don't really need tank stance. Especially on DRK. TBN and Dark Mind are basically always available and cover like 80% of tankbusters in SB.

In general, tank stance is only used to generate threat. Pull in tank mode, then switch to dps and never look back once you have a threat lead. Unless you have incompetent healers and keep dying while they sit on their rear end for too long.

Play warrior. Pull using unchained. Generate ALL THE AGRO FOREVER with one BB combo. Pop over to defiance once unchained falls off. 6x Fell Cleaves wombo combo. Laugh maniacally. Side note I know that BB combo isn't really necessary but I'm always more comfortable with the massive threat lead it gives so I don't have to think about it so

PLD with a ninja in the party never has to touch shield oath or rage of halone and I can usually hold even without shadewalker and never touching shield oath. I start pulls with a pre-cast holy spirit immediately followed by a shield lob and circle of scorn and can roll straight into dps combos. I toss maybe one rage combo in place of a royal authority combo if anyone starts to get close on hate. If I'm pulling with people that can actually grab aggro then it's just shield oath, one rage combo, and then sword oath for the rest of the fight.

Huh, I never realized that the tank stance was that unnecessary so to speak. I already use my cool downs at appropriate times along with Darkest Night so I guess I'll try dropping the tank stance tonight during progression and see how that goes. I did the "Grit for pull then drop it" when doing O4S so maybe I just needed to git gud and do that for everything.

Some things hit really loving hard that require a lot of effort, but those things are pretty rare. On a boss fight unless your healers are just flat struggling to keep you up (which means you may need to adjust cooldown usage a bit), you should be in tank stance as little as possible. It makes sense to pop it on if you need to get hate mid-fight because the MT dies or something and there are hots up, but generally speaking you can stay in DPS stance most all of the time.
