Occasionally i would AOE the snowball and it would hit him so I kept doing that and I would ignore the adds unless my AOE hit them. Which I guess you're not supposed to do but "ignore the adds and let my AOE hit them when its up' is my favorite strategy

Azubah posted:That was a really clever way to have (big spoiler) our WoL talk and I'm looking forward to whatever else they have in mind for the story content. A lot of games like to use dialogue options as a cheat for giving the player character a line of written dialogue. A ton of later phantasy star games do it and there's one example used as a joke in breath of the wild also bandwagon

late to the bandwagon but jumping on anyway to represent the lizard faction the bard AF4 hat is really good but i completely forgot to turn headwear visibility back on until the credits finished rolling, oops. at least he got to have his full pony out for this showdown also, another thought on the very end of the msq: I hhhhate Varis so much that I was dreading the inevitability of having to go back to the source and deal with his head-rear end master race bullshit, so I was probably way happier than most to see Zenos come back for real and put an end to that nonsense, lmao. let the hunt resume!!!

Minrad posted:They have fine healing numbers. If they find Titania EX stressful to heal, the 5-10% buff AST may or may not get in a few weeks isn't gonna make that fight feel easier to heal because it has an extremely low damage profile in the first place. The damage numbers it puts out are barely higher than Stormblood's primals and it has a lesser healing requirement than almost all of o5s through o12s. Is that kind of thing typical in this game's healing content, and Stormblood's relatively tight variance (from 0.52% below at worst to 0.78% above at best) is an outlier compared to the +2.19% / -8.13% you're showing for ShB to date?

Chernobyl Peace Prize posted:I'm pretty new to this game but I'm not new to math---can you explain why you think the HPS variance here isn't uncceptable? Is there some nuance of raid healing I'm missing here, because it looks like AST is going from 0.47% below the total parsed HPS average , to 8.13% below the total parsed average. It's a problem, which is why they said the numbers should be bumped up. Their argument is that the healing is sufficient for current content though, which it is, but you'll notice the lower numbers if you're in a group of less-than-perfect players.

And given that I was under the false impression all this time that the person I was talking to had bad parses, I should be believed when I say I really did not care what the parses were. I just didn't want to engage with somebody who was clearly angling to call me and my husband bad players for saying AST has problems, which is objectively the case.

Pierson posted:So for mining and botany right now once you have enough gathering to reveal unspoiled nodes in one hit and enough GP for your full collectable rotation (and a spare Sharp Vision 2) do you just pump up perception as high as you can so that Impulsive Appraisal 2 will proc Discerning Eye more? Nah, there's a cap on the rarity you get from perception (115 with unbuffed Methodical Appraisal), and the increased chance of triggering Discerning Eye doesn't scale well. Instead you should stack GP, because with level 80 gear and food it's very easy to reach 800 GP. This lets you use Single Mind at the start of your rotation, which effectively just gives you an extra collectible.

Alakaiser posted:While it's not really a thing for healers, fflogs individual percentiles are kind of...awkward right now. Dance partner is a massive buff and it's really skewing things. As an example, this dancer-less party. Check out the individual DPS percentiles, then the raid DPS. Yeah until they start adding the extra damage from trick attack and dance partner as its own thing, like they did with blessing of kings in WoW, we just cant rely on straight up parse info without taking into account party comp. If you look at party comp things are pretty balanced at the top end, although there is certainly a bias toward BLM, some of the fastest clears use oddball combinations like RDM/SMN

It feels entirely too early to talk next expansion jobs, but the Chemist talk got me thinking, besides Chemist, what other potential healer jobs are there? Or other likely/iconic jobs? Hard to say if expansion theme even impacts job decisions because GNB and DNC almost feel like they'd belong to another expansion.Tashilicious posted:there are some really good dialogue choices in this xpac "Uh....Kupo?" Not so much a dialog choice, but in a Dwarf quest, you're expected to Lali-ho, but can do an eastern bow instead, and get a response along the lines of "oh god why is she showing me the top of her head how inappropriate!"

Also my hot take re: AST talk is that anyone who claims AST is unplayable in high level content (ex primals, savage raids) is an idiot. Anyone who says AST is in a good spot right now is also an idiot. How about we just wait for the inevitable balance patch where they raise AST potencies before we keep fighting over it.

Listen there are only two tings you should be using parses for: To see if you are improving and where you need to improve, and to laugh privately in bewilderment at the level 70 blm doing less that 1.5k. Should be clear, im joking, i know jack poo poo about parsing.

I got one of the Gordias raids in raid roulette the other day and since no one wanted the parts I ended up getting all of them... and that's when I learned the Gordian fending helmet, the one that looks like Exdeath's helmet, works on Hrothgar. So, now I need to work on a glam that is either compatible with the kind of blue-green prototype model or get some people together for savage so I can get the dyeable version. I never did Alexander savage in HW, but I know some of them were farmed on the regular for Anima weapons later on in the expansion. How is A3S and what would it be like these days?

One thing I've noticed on Titania in particular is people go loving stupid while healing. Like individually healing people after lightning tethers blow them up, or panic healing after Bright Sabbath and and you have like a 45s reprieve before any more damage comes out. Or GCD healing tanks to full after they do a Holmgang or Superbolide on tethers or Fey Light.

BLM feels so so good now. For relatively small changes they do a ton for QoL. I honestly feel like they are significant more agile than RDM now. 30 second sharpest is the unsung hero of this expansion

They need to do a full revert on AST, just adding 30 potency to their spells will make them better than they are now, but it won't make them as fun or interesting as they were at the end of SB They gutted that class in nearly every way conceivable, and the only way to redeem it is to put it back as it was before they broke it. strong bird fucked around with this message at 16:28 on Jul 8, 2019 |

Also the main thing I want right now from AST is some better AoE heal potencies. We've got the Helioses, Horoscope, Collective Unconscious, and Celestial Opposition, but none of them feel great. e: It's kinda telling that the "best" addition AST got was an extra charge on Essential Dignity, even if I'm fine with the card changes because it makes them easier to use in hectic fights.

A bit of post-game spoiler stuff I still hate Zenos, but one of the things I hate in SB is he's just generically battle crazed and nihilistic. He literally just exists to be this dude you can't beat, for no good reason, until the story requires you beat him. He has no personality or story beats to him, he's just a man holding a penis he calls a sword, waiting for your sword penis to be inside him. What him killing his father and getting his body back does is make his crazy someone else's problem. Like gently caress you Garleans, this is what you get when you give a sociopath unlimited power. You get a sword penis all up in your business.
