Sks being detrimental to classes will never not be the funniest poo poo. Not just not good, but actually bad for you.

Meanwhile in weebtown my Sam set had like 2400 sks before I realized maybe I should meld some dhit instead. Never not go fast.

Well if SkS actually reduced cooldown speeds instead of just the GCD, it would actually be useful I think.

That sounds like it’d gently caress up my wildfires even more since it’d be less likely to be aligned with raid buffs.

Old spear was real bad.

Are you hitting your positionals? Yes, whenever the fight is allowing it. I'll use True North if mechanics require me to stand in a specific spot and I can't move.

Are you doing a delayed first Life, or just popping Life as soon as you can? I am using Life as soon as I get three eyes and ~25 secs on my Blood of the Dragon meter.

Are your buffs lining up with CT and FT and your Life windows? I'm using buffs on cooldown and I'm double weaving buffs the first couple of global cooldowns during my opener.

Are you ever using Mirage Dive when you already have the full eye? No, I make sure not to waste Mirage Dive procs.

I'm trying to reduce my SkS down from like 1800. This apparently causing my cooldown abilities to get out of alignment from what I've read.

Delay your first life, unless mechanics make that untenable.

You can enter Life of the Dragon back to back. You geir then mirage on your 2nd jump, 3rd Eye, then enter Life when the next geir comes off CD

Yeah, that's why I was asking about delaying Life. If for your third MD you do Gier before the MD, you'll delay Life but then you can Jump jump just before entering Life, get an eye, Spineshatter will be off of cooldown so you can get a second eye, then Jump will come off of cooldown right as Life ends, so you can get the third eye and almost immediately go back into Life. With low enough SkS, that first Life ends between your 4/5 finishers, so you immediately go up to 30s on Blood before popping your second Life. I've gotten into a bad habit of using Jump early so that's not quite true. The guide explains it much better :v:

Doing this and using your buffs on cooldown will line things up such that two out of every three Nastrond uses will be under at least one buff; but unfortunately it's not really doable if your GCD is too fast, and it's difficult to be as slow as we'd like.

e: yeah look at that chart. Here's a link to the full guide if you're interested.

My GCD was 2.32 last night when I checked. But I replaced two items, so that might have dropped some SkS down.

Yes, although we currently don't have enough folks to make a 3rd static. We could always use subs though, and if we get big enough we'll make a 3rd static.

There are only two classes in the game that never become detrimental rotationally (at reachable skill speeds at least) by going super fast. Not coincidentally those are SAM and DRK, two classes that primarily deal damage by building resources with their GCDs and most of their oGCDs just let them build resources faster.

Still doesn't change the fact that Temple of the Fist used Port. :argh:

For me, the issue is that larboard and starboard are near identical and the only tell is the castbar. I mean, I ought to just enlarge the enemy hud display to make it easier (I've already gotten used to it) but port would make it way more easy to distinguish in the short gasp that is the second cast.

Stand closer to the center of his hit box to cut travel time, swing your camera around so you’re facing the same way omega is so you don’t have to spend that millisecond translating which direction it means

Some people swear by some thing about whether he casts the same twice in a row or whatever, but I just give myself enough time by cutting down travel distance and reducing thinking required. You can also start running while you’re figuring out whether you need to or not, but that’s not optimal for casters so gently caress that. All of O11s/n is planning out your positioning and cutting down on how much movement you need to take in the moment.

Okay so I know the answer to my post is just going to be "Join a static, stupid!" which is 100% right and valid, but I used to lead a static and have been enjoying the pug life (until recently) since they all stopped playing.

But why is PF such a trash fire this tier? I struggled to clear o10 for like a week running multiple hours every single night, and now I've been stuck on o11s enrage parties for like a week and a half. I never had this many issues in Sigma and it was comparatively reliable.

At this point I feel cursed, even last night I managed to get invited as a sub to a static group that have been clearing it for weeks and they couldn't manage to clear it with a bunch of random lag, d/cs and greed deaths :v:
