My new PvP joy is going SAM/DNC, running up to someone and Midare/Technical Step right in their face. It's funny watching them panic as half their HP bar disappears.

for AOE, is it always a DPS gain to use Toxikon 2 over Dyskrasia 2?
|
# ? Jan 15, 2022 04:57 |
|
it's a dps gain if you have addersting stacks, but don't use a gcd reapplying eukrasian diagnosis to get an addersting stack unless there's nothing to hit.

Badger of Basra posted:for AOE, is it always a DPS gain to use Toxikon 2 over Dyskrasia 2? toxikon 2 is 300 for the first target, 150 for each subsequent target. 150 is less than dyskrasia 2's 160, so toxikon 2 will do less damage against packs of more than... 15 creatures hit at once. so for all intents and purposes, yes it's always a dps gain, but it's a larger dps gain against smaller packs

Like It's 330 for one and then 165 for every future one, so technically if you're fighting 34 things it is a dps gain to use Dyskrasia II. But yes use Toxikon if you have the stacks but don't waste a GCD to get them. I usually get one or two shields on the tank pre pull and running between packs but other than that no.

If you wanna get really optimized, you can preshield yourself and the tank and glue yourself to him while you're running to gather packs. E.Dosis on 3-4 is a DPS gain while you're running to gather everything up, and the Kardia proc from it will send everything running to you, so you can usually get your own E.Diagnosis shield knocked off for an extra Addersting if you're quick about it.

for the raiders out there, what on earth is the deal with the adds phase in p3s lmao you don't really read anywhere about people saying the damage check is tight. video guides i watched don't mention it. people in the balance do as the balance do and say "if you don't meet the check you're underperforming". and yet, my static has slammed into big adds enrage inconsistently. sometimes it seems like enrage triggers early. sometimes it doesn't, and yet we somehow just barely kill before it goes off. it feel like there's something we're legitimately missing here on how it's supposed to work. we were attacking them all before dashes, pulling all four to mid after dashes, doing a couple aoes, then returning to where we need to drop the bodies. even on pulls without deaths we would often see the animation of an enrage cast going off (though it didn't always kill us). we gave up and started using caster lb1. it's made it omega comfy. it may cause problems in the future when trying to meet boss enrage, but i'm less concerned about that at the moment. gives us time to figure out what's going on in the meanwhile at least. before anyone does play the underperforming card, i mean, i've known my team for two years now and together we all became triple legends and beat previous tiers in a month, so like... legitimately not trying to brag but just, provide context on why i'm so baffled at how tight this damage check seems to be. we know how to Push Buttons Kaubocks fucked around with this message at 07:40 on Jan 15, 2022 |

We didn't have any issues getting birds down without LB, so I'll say make sure people are always casting something on a bird, since outside of when they're dashing people are always in range of them. I don't think there's really anything wrong with using a caster LB there anyway, since the dps requirement for the boss isn't as tight. e: What's your party comp? Do you have any logs? If you don't feel comfortable posting them either you can compare to our clear to see if there's a noticeable difference.

Kaubocks posted:for the raiders out there, what on earth is the deal with the adds phase in p3s lmao It definitely felt tight the first few times we hit our heads against it but after a while we started not feeling the crunch as much. I was a tank so I can't really say what changed but I definitely had to use a lot less tank cooldowns over time. Maybe the issue is that you're pulling them back to the middle after the dashes? We just go to north/south right away, the big birds keep the same aggro levels as the small birds. Ibblebibble fucked around with this message at 08:51 on Jan 15, 2022 |

I don't think there's really anything wrong with using a caster LB there anyway, since the dps requirement for the boss isn't as tight. i WILL be mean to you, sorry nah. it's not rude it's just like, historically "not doing enough damage" has not usually been a problem for us in the past lmao. we're usually skipping mechanics more than anything. maybe we're just stupid bad at adds phases specifically and it's never come up until now. it's assuring to know that we probably aren't setting ourselves back too much with a caster lb, it's just, weird. that in combination that we're still not 100% confident on if there's an extra enrage trigger beyond "time existed". we feel like sometimes it happens earlier than expected, but we aren't sure if it's our imagination or if we just got lied to by a balance post that says low hp enemies can enrage early. i have logs from tonight's attempts. is there a way i can make it show me how much damage we've done during that adds window? I can highlight it and see casts at least, and it doesn't seem like there's anything egregiously wrong but it's hard for me to pinpoint it based solely on CPM. i struggle to pick out any particular log to share, because idk which one is really most indicative of how we normally perform in adds phase. sometimes there's a death, sometimes there's someone out of position and causes confusion. definite contributors to a potential wipe, but it's a lot of info to dig through where i can't ascertain the full picture from numbers alone. in 2~ hours we had four pulls go past adds, then we switched to caster lb for our final half hour and had three more pulls make it past lol. one of those even had a dps death! during dashes! https://www.fflogs.com/reports/a:zrHc39dGZgJtLbR6 RME posted:hey this is kind of a wild shot but we have a fair number of parse heads but it's never really been so strong of an impact that people are willing to throw. we WILL bully one of our melee dps into doing an lb3, even if they're on a hot streak, lol. we read you can burn anything <30 sec or less on big adds and we definitely do. sometimes more on top of that if it's looking bad at a glance.

Most of the PF groups I've been in make a point to just kill the north bird before it even charges, and then cleaning the other three up is pretty comfy.

Vaporizing one of the birds seems more like a gear-enabled safety strat. Nothing particularly wrong with that, just that it’s end goal feels more like it’s trying to eliminate two possible points of failure rather than lighten the check

Kaubocks posted:yeah we're attacking the adds while the tethers go out. we've been doing this I don't have a video and as far as I know there's nothing special to it. I'm a black mage and I just start out by dropping a thundercloud proc and then some number of xenos glossy and paradoxes on it until/unless the tether I'm assigned forces me to the opposite end of the arena. From what I can see, melee characters just sit on the bird until the last second and then use their gap closers to dart to where they should be at the last second. Buuut this doesn't really make a difference compared to everyone attacking their "own" birds at their tether spot the whole way through, since damage is damage, right? My only guess was that your party was spending too much time at the start of the phase trying to find their spots and not attacking while they were doing it, since otherwise as long as each character is keeping their GCD rolling on some target you should be able to kill them all before they whirlwind you.

Kaubocks posted:i WILL be mean to you, sorry I'm not an fflogs master so I may not be looking at this correctly, but looking at this section e: I just noticed the red mage died to dashes in this pull and they're meleeing in others ignore that part! more edit: I really think the reaper should be able to do better dps if you do want to forgo the caster LB. I'd definitely recommend looking at some videos of reapers getting through that part to see what resources they're spending, since I assume most people clearing this fight do want to pool for the reopener. I can't really offer much more advice though since like I said, I have no clue how to play the class yet lol Dryzen fucked around with this message at 10:13 on Jan 15, 2022 |

Hey Mac users, I know there's a few of you out there. Just wanted to let you all know about this project https://www.xivmac.com. It's basically XIVLauncher for Mac OS. Plus some goodies. It allows you to either create a new install completely (re-download) or clone your existing install, but either way it uses the current SQE CrossOver (Codeweaver) 18 client from SQE (these guys had a previous project using the newest CrossOver 21 build) but adds some optimized 3D support in the DXVK libraries used. Theoretically this should give better performance and quality. I haven't found it does much on my setup (late 2019 16" i9/5500M) - HOWEVER in addition to the performance benefits it also enables XIV Launcher on Mac OS. That means all the Dalamud plug-ins, ACT support, and although there's no GShade, there is a custom working build of Reshader. So, if you want plugins, theoretical quality & performance improvements, and ACT parsing & Overlays I can say it works. No negative impacts I can see so far and it leaves your original FFXIV install alone so you can easily compare or uninstall without impacting your current client. Since I'm not Savage playing or anything yet, I mostly wanted a reliable fps counter and the ability to parse my own contribution to learn. Also, performance gains are apparently more pronounced on M1 machines, I dunno about that, YMMV. E; it’s in alpha and updated a lot tho, so no idea what the janitor commitment is I guess I’ll find out squirrelzipper fucked around with this message at 10:55 on Jan 15, 2022 |

Kaubocks posted:for the raiders out there, what on earth is the deal with the adds phase in p3s lmao Does your group have pentamelded crafted gear? My static killed it for the first time today and I have to make everyone slow down DPS on the adds or they die so fast potions aren't up for the post-adds reopener. On our clear today I (one of the dps) died to the charging birds and got ressed and we still killed the adds before they exploded. We don't pull them center for aoe, but Im pretty sure there's no "all 4 together makes you do less damage" thing so that shouldn't be causing your issue. edit: Some log diving on a random one of your wipes reveals this (the comparison is to my group's clear): You're doing way less damage from 3:30 to 3:50, which is during the tethers, people really need to keep the damage up there. The fact that you almost made the enrage check while doing like half the dps during tethers is pretty impressive. aers fucked around with this message at 12:36 on Jan 15, 2022 |

The problem is the actual bad strats that ignore fight mechanics to make the fight way more complicated just so people can sit and farm adds for parse numbers. Stuff like the EX2 parse strats where you do the actively wrong thing just to get a small percentage boost (if that).
