I think the half-second lost, and then more gcds lost because you're pressing it every 25 seconds instead of every 30, is a moderately big deal and you should probably just look at the debuffs, same as you would have for dots

I like the music in Panda 4 but I agree that a Primals cover of Time to Make History would be even better.

It should've been an official crossover with Castlevania so we could get a primals cover of Bloody Tears. :colbert:

That's weird, it thinks I already got a blade from Panda 4 this week. Does that reset at a different time?

Edit: oh, I have 2 of them. I guess something I did late last night was just over the timer and I passed on the tokens out of reflex.

Is there any use for the materials gathered from Endwalker folklore tome spots? Or is it future patch content?

It's very forward-thinking of the dev team to give Reaper one flaw, having to keep that debuff up, so they have one thing to improve in the next expansion.

They'll be used for the crafted 90 gear later. I think that comes out with Savage next week?

Just a reminder to always turn in your Wondrous Tails catbook on a non-max level character. Each catbook is worth 1/2 a level of XP. A nice way to passively level up classes that you don't actually intend to play.

That debuff is still going to be there.

Honestly reaper feels so good at 90 that its hard to think what they can do with it. With some other classes you can still see means to optimize and expand but reaper just feels...perfect. I guess 2 charges on their movement ability!? Allow other players to hitchhike from your warps if they click on it? Absolute insanity.

I don't push it every time it beeps. When it beeps I look up and judge where I'm at and when I need to press it.

I was still top dps in the group using this and had 100% uptime on the fight, so I'm pretty happy with it and sticking with it. If I end up in a static and it matters, I'll set up an ACT timer for it. As it is, I like this.

If you just need a beep to remind you, you could set up another macro separately that has the echoed sound effect timer so that you don't lose any time on your GCD spinning and press it after you press S/WoD

Have they decided just not to fix omnidirectional markers on mobs? I remember they got broken when they introduced the new ones back in like 5.3 or whatever. And they're just, still not back. It's weird!

Its a pain in the rear end so clearly in 7.0 we will get a trait or new ability that makes it less of a pain in the rear end. Hence the forward thinking developers.

Yeah and they’ll make higanbana reapply itself when you midare and then they’ll get rid of true strike so you only have to twin snake and then finally they’ll make fire 4 refresh the timer… sounds based

The One True Oden

I don't mind the reaper debuff at all, it's less annoying than remember to re-apply higanbana or hardcasting the old summoner DoTs. The fact that you get an AOE version at the same time as the single-target helps a lot, and the way that you get shroud gauge when enemies die is really in dungeon trash pulls.

Emmanellain is too much of a comic relief character for me to ship him with anybody

I'm curious though, who was willing to point him towards the Archon loaf? I didn't have the heart...

Maybe a thing that passively regenerates Soulsow mid-fight, like every time you spend 100 total Shroud gauge.

It's weird because in some ways it does portray him well (he's put in charge of one of the caravans, he helps you out a lot, he's less self-aggrandizing than he used to be) but the other half of the time he's just pure comedy.

I was fine with how Emmanellain was written this expansion, and Magnai is only interesting when he's getting dunked on anyway.

Besides, Sadu/Cirina is the superior ship.

iirc by default, your debuffs are listed first, and have a slight green tinge to their timer colour
there's also a setting under character configuration -> UI settings -> HUD to only show your debuffs
if you're using the quicklauncher, there's also the bigplayerdebuffs plugin
