Jose Valasquez posted:Adjust your opener Maybe when there's another several hundred sks in the next tier (rip my TP bar though). For right now it's more an issue of either wasting one Sen by finishing a combo while I'm already at 3, or delaying by one GCD for Hagakure to come back off cd before finishing the combo. I guess I'm not enough of a tryhard to redo my opener muscle memory over just that.

If you are doing the normal 3 sen opener I think you can switch your last meikyo from gekko to yukikaze and be fine. It is not 100% optimal but it is a lot better than delaying a gcd or delaying hagakure and it is only one button change

I just got into a Monday night Rabanastre run with no wipes and so much DPS we skipped mechanics on multiple bosses. This must be setting me up for some extreme cosmic disappointment next week or something.

So, Sleeve Draw. I'm assuming I just pop this motherfucker whenever in 4-mans, but I'm not sure about it in 8-mans. Under the assumption that I've already prepared AoE Balance beforehand, is it best to immediately use it after Spread and pray for an ideal setup, or should I hold on to it until after my next normal Draw in case I don't get Balance or Spire/Ewer? It seems like it's better to hold on to it until I can see if I can get at least one part of combo set up, but I'm unsure if that's efficient.

Speaking of Rabanastre, I finally did Ridorana yesterday. It's really good and I'm looking forward to the finale. If you haven't done it yet, don't be afraid to go in blind. The mechanics are all really clever.

I'm not a fan of "look up" mechanics when field is view is already pretty constrained, but aside from that (and the unexpected hp bar change in MathMan) all mechanics were fairly self explanatory.

I just pop that fucker whenever it’s off cool down and deal with the cards as I would if I drew them normally. I don’t know if that’s the best way but it works, and definitely increases the amount of cards I use on people in current content vs. old stuff.

I have to wonder if XIV's dev team got a lot of people complaining Hashmal was too hard, because the second boss of Ridorana is so easy that it's almost hysterical.

Pop that fucker whenever, but for maximum usage, you want to Draw first, then Sleeve Draw. Draw, and then you can manipulate the card however you like, shuffle it, spread it, road it, or Minor Arcana it, and then when you Sleeve Draw, it will draw a new card into that slot regardless of cooldown, so long as you are not holding a Draw'd card. Sleeve Draw, and then you will find that you cannot Draw afterwards, because Draw went on cooldown after you used the card that you Draw'd with Sleeve Draw. Sleeve Draw explicitly does not overwrite cards you have banked in Draw, Royal Road, Minor Arcana, or Spread, and will only draw something in every other empty slot.

If anything, they pushed the nightmare boss up sooner this time around. Despite being fairly easy, I've seen more wipes and near-wipes to Famfrit than any other boss in there.

Tsunami is functionally a one hit kill with a fancy wrapper, though you can potentially save yourself from your fuckup of standing in it in the first place. The actual worst part is needing to use unfamiliar camera angles to be able to see it coming.

That's kind of a pain for melee when he throws them out in the 'they all cross the center where the boss is standing' pattern.

If your healer is on their poo poo and you start moving immediately you might make it out of a tsunami. That is unless I'm your healer because I probably got tsunamied myself and am using my cooldowns to save myself

Sometimes I might just stand still to get off Vercure for insurance.

Which one is tsunami? Is it the big sustained cone aoe? Because like a dumb rear end i get hit at least three times per fight with that, and if i remember right i've never died to it.

I turned other peoples effects to minimum because it was hard to see what direction he was going to splash with a million flares and fire IVs being thrown at him every second.

Yeah, it's entirely an animation tell so you have to be watching his model and have the camera positioned so you can see the jug he's carrying.
