There is almost always a wipe during the last boss of lota when not enough people greed the second flare.

Or when too many people greed poorly. I've seen the entire 24-man stick it out even when the cast bar is 85% done and the boss is still at 12% life. (Me included because there's no point in dashing to the pads anymore by then.)

"Sister complex (Japanese: シスターコンプレックス) is a state of strong attachment and obsession to sisters. It is commonly abbreviated as "siscon" (Japanese: シスコン), and in this case, it is also used for brothers and sisters who have a strong attachment and obsession to their sisters."
There's also "brocon." It's usually just a tropey thing for super clingy family characters, rarely actually going anywhere except making the one with the complex be antagonistic towards anybody showing interest in or having interest shown from their sibling, and/or making life difficult/awkward for said sibling.

I don't know if I've ever seen a wile in lota, what groups are you all in???

Usually it happens to ancient flare in the last fight, where either people are new and don't know what's going on or they're veterans and think they can burn him down before the second one goes off (I've seen that work exactly once). I've seen like one wipe on Atomos, usually it's just annoying getting people to stand on the pads, and maybe one or two on the zombie dragon where people let too many skeletons survive.

Yesterday I had my first wipe on Behemoth King since like 2015, everyone ignored the bomb adds so we all got hit with burns and died super quickly. That was novel.

Yeah that was basically the only part I dislike, and the part that seems actively contradictory to the games just for a dumb joke.

Short for 'sister complex'. It means someone who really likes their sister and wants their sister to like them. It can be a platonic familial thing, but it can also be a creepy incest thing.

I've just cracked open Astro after clearing the campaign on Gunbreaker and am I missing something or is there no way to guarantee three seal hands now Sleeve Draw is gone? Which is turn makes getting the juicy PoM tier of Astrodyne pure RNG? Why would they do this, has our job not suffered enough?

Yeah all you have is one redraw per draw and the outcome for Minor Arcana can't be manipulated either. It kinda sucks because you basically never got less than a three-seal Divination unless you got the most vile RNG ever, so even Divination being fixed at full power now is cold comfort.

Honestly, I don't think allowing a redraw of Minor Arcana would even be that overpowered given how much poo poo you need to weave while playing normally at 90.

There's no way to but it's almost impossible to not get at least 2 so you get the recast speed and mana regen every 3 draws which means mp is never an issue and you still get a boost to DPS by just casting faster and more.

It's still gotta have some RNG element to it, that's part of the whole class fantasy.

The lively Miqo'te female isn't that bad, the lively Elezen female is probably hornier:

quote:

Greeting: "You know, I thought you might be along to summon me. You may rest assured that I am ready and eager to serve."
Greeting (on Venture) "Missed me, didn't you?"
Greeting (Venture complete) "I've been waiting for your summons."
Goodbye "Are you certain you don't desire anything else? Anything at all? Very well, I shall take my leave."
Goodbye (on Venture) "Are we finished already? Oh..."
Starting Venture "That sounds like fun! You'll be joining me, yes? No? Oh."
Completing Venture "I live to serve."

There's also the lively Miqo'te male with venture dialogue like "Then I have satisfied your every need? Excellent! I do so take pleasure in servicing my clients."

Anyhow, the top retainer line sets are:
3: Serious Hrothgar, only makes single-word statements in italics. Example: "Fine."
2: Lively Lalafell Male, enthusiastically repeats everything. Example: "I'm here, I'm here!"
1: Lively Au Ra Male, sings everything in rhyming verse. Example: "A simple retainer, lowly born,♪ Unlettered and unknown,♪ Who toils for bread from early morn,♪ Till half the night has flown!♪"

Some other good ones:

-Serious male miqote just ellipses at you
-Carefree male viera is an alcoholic
-Independent female au ra has "tsundere" lines for everything, like "I-It's not like I want to sell your items or anything." Except for when she returns a venture, she says "Alright, take yer shite and quit leerin' at me arse. ...What? Ye can't seriously expect me to humor yer fetishes all the time, can ye? "

Anyway, got to Conjurer to 24. I immediately got into duties as soon as I clicked Join in the Duty Finder which is a massive contrast to DPS which I had to wait. As for doing duties as a Healer, it thankfully wasn't bad and had a nice time doing them.

It's class theme is manipulating fate though and sleeve draw was you literally stacking the deck to get your prefered outcome, I don't know how it works out from high-level raiding perspective but not being able to do your best combo because they reintroduced RNG you previously had a way to mitigate feels rough

i haven't seen anyone mention this yet: doing all the endwalker hunts in a day gave me just over 3 million xp on sage, and i didn't even have to find 15 enemies because 3 targets overlapped between lists. nice way to get xp while in queue or killing time; faster than FATEs for the same amount of xp.

No it's not. The entire point of sleeve draw was that it's the one thing that was just you saying 'gently caress it!' and cheating fate instead of playing along with it. It's why it was the capstone long cooldown ability added an entire expac after the class came out. The class has always had an RNG aspect and now it's where on average you're doing fine with the low chance to get something bad and the low chance to do better than average. If it was about just always being about manipulating fate it wouldn't have the RNG you'd just get the biggest possible buff constantly. Shadowbringers was thee outlier but that's because the buff you got for getting the best combo was...kind of dogshit (3 min cd for a 6% damage buff originally) and getting an even worse version sucked even harder because the ShB version of cards was incredibly bad. Your biggest utility is now guaranteed now and the personal buff is much much better on average and bad rolls compared to the old one so the RNG got less guaranteed.

For Botany and Mining you can see items in the log before you gather them, with info on their location. With fishing the log fills out afterwards. Am I missing something, or if you're looking for a specific fish is the only option looking it up outside of game?

picked these up again today to get numbers: due to another overlap, for killing one lvl 81 starmite in thavnair as an 86 sage, got 430k xp & 18 nuts. that's like 2 fates or 2/3rds of a frontline, for no effort and (importantly imo) almost zero attention.

Can anybody hook me up with an updated level 70ish BLM rotation guide (single and AE)? I dont have any meters running or anything but I'm pretty sure I just did an embarassing amount of damage in the last doma castle instance I ran. I was level 68 trying to do something like:

single: B3->B4->T3->F4->F4->F4->F1->F4 until I run out then start over

not sure when to use firestarter and thunder procs? save triplecast or use asap?

AE: B3->T4->Freeze->F2 until I'm low then flare I guess?

That's basically it, use procs and instant casts for movement and to avoid clipping. Generally better to cast thunder between the two ice casts since if it's the last cast you might not get a mana tick before fire phase. Doesn't really matter.

New AOE rotation is B2-Freeze-F2x3-Flarex2. Do Thunder4 and Foul as ice filler or whenever you want, just keep the dot up and don't waste procs, use sharpcast on cooldown. It's much easier in EW.

Use Triplecast to get more uptime, blast packs while running to a pull, and never miss a gcd during bosses.

Advanced tech- use Triplecast, Swiftcast, Manafont, and an ether to cast 4 flares in 4 GCDs.
