The other night ADR had DPS in need, I queued as DPS, but it still took 10 minutes to go. It was weird. But yeah, healer queues are fast. Good time to level a CuddlyZombie posted:I think there was a mandate to never again use fancy names for left and right if the mechanic comes out quickly. Thank goodness because that Omega fight melts my brain.  Even though I've worked out "Larboard, starts with L = Left" my brain always takes a second too long to process, and then the fucker turns around and I then have to do the calculation again "oh if he's doing the other one, I stay put, but if he's - oh, Im dead."

During the third Eden fight, I had a healer almost panic when they saw my robot standing in the middle of huge aoe attack. Later in the fight Leviathan destroyed the ground under my robot and he just kept punching away at the boss while standing in midair.

Since I got into the ground floor of this expansion, I'm finally elevating myself from the casual to savage raiding in a static. It's all new to me, so how much consideration should I put into materia and gear? Any other tips? I know my rotation pretty well as a DPS (and have started tracking dps in ACT), so I figure that's a start.

I learned an important lesson yesterday. I couldn't get a group that could clear E4, and then as soon as I got a group where more than half of the group claimed to already be drunk, we cleared first try. What I learned was never raid sober, is what I'm saying.

jokes posted:TBN, if used correctly, is a better value proposition than just using a MP attack since it costs the same and frees up the healer to do damage (assuming they're not honest). So, if you're smart you'll recognize when you can TBN and have it be consumed, and you'll always do that as much as possible. This conserves healer MP and keeps them glaring. Sorry to drag this back up from two pages ago but I went to bed right after my last reply. This argument you're making honestly has a pretty major flaw. Auto attack damage is rarely a major concern to most healers under normal circumstances. With an hp pool of 120k, TBN gives you a 30k shield which will cover 2 auto attacks before it breaks. Sure you stopped 30k damage from happening but unless your healers really needed that mitigation (like they're busy trying to raise people), they likely aren't going to really notice and do things differently. TBN works so well for tankbusters because it scales extremely well when paired with mitigation cooldowns like Rampart and Shadow Wall and you lose that scaling when you use it by itself on autos. As other people pointed out before, TBN is generally no better a use of your MP than using Flood or Edge unless you're trying to bank a Dark Arts for a burst window or actually saving your healers some gcds. It's a great tool that can help your group beyond just shielding yourself but my general advice to new DRKs is to focus on using it for tankbusters until you're more comfortable with the class and fights. Once you've gotten used to the timing of things, experimenting with TBN can be really good and make things even smoother while not compromising your own defenses.

Kaubocks posted:of course, it doesn't help that i think i've been developing a bit of RSI before this Make sure you keep your back/shoulder muscles and flexors/extensors stretched and exercised, as well as maintaining good posture. Referred pain can sometimes mimic the symptoms of RSI, like tingling/numbness and stiffness. I've found that my rhomboids (the interscapular muscles underneath the lower trapezius muscles) and my flexors (the large bundle of muscles that stick out on the thumb side of your arm) are usually the largest problem areas when using a computer, as the rhomboids can get easily worn out if your shoulders are hunched forwards, and your flexors - assuming a normal mouse grip - get twisted due to you having to pronate your arm. If I go several days doing computer work without taking adequate breaks that include stretching and massaging the muscles, my hands start to feel ridiculously stiff and immobile, and I sometimes wake up with referred tingling/numbness, until I let them rest and aggressively break up trigger points. What I've done for a while now is hold my mouse so that the elbow is flexed outwards slightly (by about 10'-20' from neutral), my mouse is at a similar angle, and my wrist is rotated so that it's about 2/3rds of the way to laying on its side. This puts the wrist more in supination than pronation, which helps to reduce strain on the muscles and wrist over time. You can also consider buying a vertical mouse which is designed specifically for a more supinated position, but it can be a bit tricky to do precision mouse work with it.

Love the bit near the end of Heavensward where Tataru is like “I taught myself to sew while waiting for you in Ishgard and made a dress” then reveals the most expertly made complex dress ever. I’m like “drat girl it’s been like a week”. She is too pure for this world.

In honor of the new raids, I've been thinking about making a Laguna glamour for my MCH. Does anyone know of a good matching chest piece and weapon? Reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8zgoUP4Ch5E Side note: I kind of wish MCH limit break got to swing around on a rope while blasting fools.

A split keyboard can also be helpful when gaming so that you can move the second half out of the way to bring your mouse in closer in order to reduce strain on shoulder and arm. I am a huge fanboy of the Kinesis Freestyle Edge for gaming, but it is expensive. Especially when you need to add in the lift kit to really make it shine. And, yeah, I like vertical mice, too, but am unable to use them for anything that requires quick mouse movement. Mainly because moving it away from my body is more difficult and re-centering it on my mouse pad takes a lot of time (you have to tilt before picking up and moving). I use an Evoluent Vertical Mouse 4 all the time for non-gaming purposes, though. And I see they have an updated C series. May need to check that out closer next paycheck.

I've a weird question - how difficult is it for someone casual and guildless to get a Genji weapon now? I've never done any Omega raids so I assume I'd have to work my way through them somehow, and even then I'm not sure how many clears would be needed to get a weapon. Is it something I could realistically do through the party finder (at level 80)?

Is there a simplified list of what optional dungeons/boss fights to unlock as you progress through the game as a new player? I'm halfway through HW and want to eventually unlock/run all the optional dungeons/boss fights and run them at least once to experience them. I've heard you can fight gilgamesh in ARR?

Quoiting this so I can dig it up for future reference. I was dealing with some RSI symptoms last year and I think it might have tied into this. I messed around with my ergonomics a bunch and I think it helped my hands, but I still have occasional things and has kinda left my setup kinda uncomfortable in other ways. (Being short I've found it really hard to find a desk that goes low enough for me.) Any exercise/stretch routines you can refer/link to? I hardly know half of the muscles by name so I'm not really sure what to look up/where to start.
