lol whoops. edited edit: I actually delay my wildfires during Suzaku because it's too hard for me to focus on running around during the colors while doing the wildfire rotation. Clearly that's what I meant (it wasn't)

I'm insane and play MCH at 250ms ping. Did you know that at very high pings flamethrower sometimes only ticks for 5 heat if you move or press another button too quickly, leaving you at 95 heat?

LITERALLY MY FETISH posted:My new favorite "wait what the gently caress why" moment in learning dps openers is SAM using meditate between GCDs for 10 free kenki. This should not work like this, what the hell. You have to get slightly lucky with server ticks I think, so it’s teally just kind of Bonus If It Happens

Alakaiser posted:lol whoops. edited Regardless, it might not even be that bad a levelling experience if Flamethrower were available during the 40-50 drought, at least letting you control when you DO go into overheat. Alas, the particulars of MMO levelling necessitated a capstone skill, and so the thing with a ten second channel that you want to channel for as long as possible because it looks TOTALLY loving METAL is something you can only use for a maximum of FIVE because at which point you will have gone into Overheat from an empty gauge. And in practical usage, one usually only ever hold for A SINGLE second. But no, MCH needed an awesome-looking capskill. So enjoy having to relearn how to do Wildfires several times during levelling!

I beat the guy who drops the Hancock triple triad card 103 times last night before getting frustrated. Today I tried switching to the NPC who drops Sadu and got to 87 wins before deciding to take a break and spend some of the MGP I accrued. I bought 99 Gold packs and got neither of the cards I needed from it. I don't know who the drop rate on these things is supposed to entertain and delight. It's not like I get anything from having more triple triad cards. I might just have brain goblins but still, I would love a reworking of TT in some future patch, because this is an awful lot of extra hassle for bad cards I won't ever use.

I love Machinist, the look at least, but playing it is pretty terrible. But I bring it to Frontline Roulette because I don't have to worry about my RNG rotation there.

I mean, Machinist is technically not the worst job, because Fisher also exists. If you ever feel bad Fisher gets its first button at like 54 or something. Saint Freak fucked around with this message at 17:49 on Sep 29, 2018 |

I do savage raiding as a Samurai and I don't bother with the oGCD Meditating. It's a very negligible gain. I save Meditate for when there's an extensive break in the fight, or when I don't feel like trying to risk screwing up a mechanic for a little bit extra uptime.

Is it worthwhile to spend Genesis on chest armor, or should I spend it on RHS stuff like a ring first? This is the first time I’ve been current with content.

brainwrinkle posted:Is it worthwhile to spend Genesis on chest armor, or should I spend it on RHS stuff like a ring first? This is the first time I’ve been current with content. The short and likely answer is chest or pants first. In more detail, it depends on the secondary stats for your class (along with the stats on your class's Scaevan chest) and how important those are to you. If you do Savage raids or there are personally important factors (like Skill Speed for WAR), go ahead and do the math. Personally I'm in the camp of Glamour Is Forever but YMMV

Chest/Pants are the most important thing. But also if your accessories are way lower and you just wanna meet an ilvl requirement for something non-Savage and you're almost there, maybe buy a righthand, but don't tell anyone I told you that

It'll take you 4 weeks minimum to get the chest from Alphascape, so it's generally a good idea to just grab the tome chest ASAP and get your legs from two weeks of Alpha.

This should not work like this, what the hell. Server ticks are loving awful and apparently so baked in to the game that they had to brute force the recent ground AoE changes by just giving them a free extra tick at the start. As a result you can just pulse Collective Unconscious or Passage of Arms and they will last 4-5 seconds.

I like how Ninja's jutsu stuff serves as a way to reduce total buttons. I'm kinda considering getting my Ninja leveled up enough to do the rest of Stormblood with it (it's 53 now, so wouldn't take too long), since I'm a little lukewarm about Samurai. I recently got this skill that spends 25 kenki to do a 300 potency attack, which seems like a way to just drain off kenki, and I'm not sure if it's better than doing that Enpi combo (where you dash back, do the ranged attack, and dash back in). The latter gives you a lot more potency for the kenki cost, but it also takes more time (as opposed to the instant OGC cast on the former). I'm pretty sure I'll never be genuinely good at this game (though I can at least do normal content fine); I just don't have a brain that can manage both the rotations and watching for mechanics and stuff (doing the latter results in the former being sort of "unsteady" and me making random mistakes at a rate that never really decreases with experience). It always amazes me when people somehow manage to do their role and pay attention to what other players are doing. Like, how the gently caress do you even do that? It's hard enough to just make sure I'm executing my rotation algorithm semi-properly while dodging all the AoEs/doing mechanics; I can't imagine doing all that and also noticing that some other random player is doing their rotation incorrectly. I've been playing MMOs of various kinds since the WoW beta (if you don't include the brief time I played FF11 when it was released), so I'm pretty sure there's just a certain type of intelligence you have to have to be able to multitask like that, and I don't have it. (This doesn't really bother me or anything; I just find it genuinely interesting that other people are somehow capable of doing this.)

The 25 kenki skill is pretty much just a dump, lower priority than your other skills that use it. But I don't think you should dash out/in due to the time commitement.

You should never Yaten (or Gyoten for that matter) unless it means getting in an extra GCD. You should never Enpi unless you aren't in the middle of a combo and you can't get back in for a normal GCD. The badness of Enpi is it isn't building Sen

You just do your rotation until it's ground into your muscle memory harder than concrete. I can do my wildfire combo whilst running around Suzaku for the merry-go-round. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1XGmV6QTnpsxfJ9RImfjhusm2frqpCfPL8HJ2tUTgH1o/edit This SAM guide has all the kenki maths. Basically, the damage is better used on Shinten if you don't have Guren or something Kaiten-able up.

The main difference with FFXIV is that many moves also have positional or proc-based requirements that mean you can't just turn your brain off and do stuff by muscle-memory. You have to constantly check whether various things are active and mentally do an algorithm to select what the optimal thing is at that time. I used to play a DPS monk during Mists of Pandaria in WoW, and I actually got near the top of DPS lists in that because you really could rely almost entirely on muscle memory, but in this there's too many things that require active consideration. I mean, I still probably do okay compared with a bunch of other random players (I haven't actually used that DPS checker program or whatever), but I constantly do sub-optimal things just because it requires 100% of my attention to keep track of all my DoTs/buffs/class gauge/etc. (So I guess now that I think about it the issue isn't so much the rotation itself, but that the optimal rotation is dependent upon actively keeping track of a bunch of different things constantly.)

Go into the following folder C:\Users\<Username>\appdata\Local\ and make Logitech folder not read only, this will allow the Logitech program to actually save the program settings (like app controlled lighting) between restarts. I tried to turn on the joystick as an actual joystick since my G13 supposedly supports it and is new enough that it's a joystick instead of an 8 way hat under a thumbstick, but it doesn't register properly in FFXIV, so it's just gonna have to remain an 8 way hat. Still way more agile than WASD for movement. Razer is also an awful dogshit company who demand that you install their stupid cloud save bullshit to use their hardware and if your internet flakes out your gameboard stops working along with your macro buttons on any other piece of Razer kit. orange juche fucked around with this message at 23:49 on Sep 29, 2018 |
