Cabbit posted:I mean, if you've healed in any other MMO this is a legitimate concern-- both the tank dying, and the party giving you hells of poo poo about it, even if the tank in question is an absolute twit. It's difficult to shake the mindset that failing to babysit the tank or a gaggle of idiot DPS for even a few GCDs will result in idiots dying. healers are shitheads who actually believe everyone else is stupid and its their divine task to guide them to victory, by playing poorly

Every time I have to cast a heal in ADR I feel a great shame within me.

Vermain posted:The more common excuse I see is some weird equivocation where people don't want to do anything but heal because it's not what the healer archetype is "about" or it isn't like that in other games. Realistically, I think it's a combination of anxiety and occasionally laziness, but I'd chalk it up more to anxiety than anything else. I had a SCH in Copperbell Normal a few days ago who was just sitting there casting Physick and nothing else until I brought up that I'd be fine and her faerie could easily keep me alive solo and that she could DPS if she wanted to, and she immediately started pumping out her rotation. People don't want to gently caress up in front of strangers, especially when you loving up is highly visible (viz. the party wipes), which is understandable. Depending on the content it's usually just laziness. Since I started levelling whm I have zero respect for non-dpsing healers anymore, now that I know just how little you have to heal sometimes.

There's very likely just a flag for an attack that makes it ignore it as a method to curtail raising to cheese a planned mechanic. Skaw fucked around with this message at 02:13 on May 17, 2018 |

There's very likely just a flag for an attack that makes it ignore it as a method to curtail raising to cheese a planned mechanic. There is. Some attacks just deal "darkness" damage which ignores all mitigation (including rez invulnerability) and apply directly to your HP. Usually this is done with hard enrages to prevent you from cheesing through them, but in a few rare cases it is applied by other attacks (for instance, standing inside one of the ghost squares in O5 when they appear will kill you dead no matter what).

While Guardian is an overall better fight, i still quite enjoy the whole theme of Hali a bit more since the arena changes and it makes the mechanics a bit more dynamic. The fact that i was a Bard that got to do the limit break on the ninjas/iron giant might have something to do with it as well. Besides that, i will take Animal farm any day over the missiles of questionable hitbox.

I sure love sidestepping a missile before it hits me, only for the game to say "No, gently caress you, die anyway."

So Ultimate Ultimate Weapon weapons are AF1 with a different glow (AF2 for HW jobs, unknown for sam/rdm). They rejected using the soldiery weapon models and went with relics instead.

Neither Coil nor Omega have really been anywhere near as bullshit as that.

Fun story: OG Pepsiman was my first experience with raid tanking.  We killed that son of a bitch a couple hours before he was nerfed, did one Leeroy pull of OG Manipulator to say we did, then never touched Gordias again aside from over geared mount farming a year later. I also promptly changed role to melee again because tanking that fight was awful.

I still have not cleared o8s because my current group doesn't have enough interest to unsych prog it and I really do not want to attempt it with randoms. When it was relevant, my static broke up twice during o8s prog.  o4s nowadays is not a big deal though, we even managed to 4 man it (which requires the heresy of doing nisi / pentacles the correct way)

I managed to get lucky and found a PF party that stuck with it until we farmed it for eight runs in a row. I still have the person who made the party friended, so I can see if she wants to set up something again sometime.
