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:

Unfortunately the quality of enrage parties drops off really quickly as most of the decent PUG players clear in the first few weeks. Last tier I didn't get the chance to start progging until ~a month after the raids dropped and I eventually just gave up on clearing 7 until I found a temp static.

10 is also much much harder than 6 was, and I definitely see two chest weekly parties wipe much much more often on 10 than 11. IME 11 weekly parties fill slowly enough that many people are fine with taking someone who has been to enrage if they can execute mechs consistently; you might try messaging the leader of a duty complete party and asking if you're at that stage.

Soon you too can join the group of players who botch about Final Omega prog parties that can't make it past the door bosses!

Yeah, I felt like I remembered the Ixal having something called Larboard Wing Component.

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

it never really mattered in that fight because port and star were always paired so you didnt really have to know which was which, just that they were sides really

Yes, he is quite mad.
My group is still working on 10s. We've been down to 4% enrage, it's just a matter of doing it all correctly with do deaths that should get us there. Fights take time, its not a race unless you want it to be.

E: On that note, gently caress O10s

True, but the point I'm making is that it was Port and Star, not Lar and Star.

Also, take this with a grain of salt, but supposed leaks have revealed that the final boss of Eureka is Absolute Virtue .

Picture below is proof. Also might have some possible story spoilers for the lead-in to 5.0.

I want to believe in this very badly but I do have to question why, if the leakers agree that Blue Mage is a melee support and is basically ready to be patched in, neither of them are saying what it shares gear with.

It does have plausible stuff in it, but everything related to paywalling BLU sounds just trolling. Absolute Virtue or Pandemonium Warden already floated around as Eureka boss for the "gently caress you" factor they had in XI.

I don't think it's "we're paywalling BLU to preorders only" but "Preorder the game and get the job early."

Nobody has definitely linked it to BLU, but the whole "new job field in the code and what it can equip" found by dataminers suggests heavily that it shares Casting gear with the other non-healer Mages.

It would be funny if BLU is spec'd towards being lvl 80 and sucks rear end to play at 70 like other non-max-level classes, then they release it early and its just stuck at 70 for months.

The ideal is that blue mage sucks and is boring at level 70 so all the posers go back to their real mains when the expansion drops, and then it's badass at 80

It's not just you, my partial static has been struggling to find competent players / pubbies after having a reasonable time of it in the first two tiers.

I think it is because O10S is significant harder than O2S and O7S. That means people haven't had as much time for O11S progression and getting clears on 10 takes more time.
