Mr. Nice! posted:Congrats! P2S, in my opinion, is easier than P1S. But that might also be because we've had more practice on P2S since it took us longer to clear. My new static is in week two of playing together. We're on P3S now. Last night it took us some time to reclear P1S, but P2S we did in three to four wipes total. We did the same yesterday. Spent almost exactly an hour trying to reclear P1S, then did P2S on the second pull. Kyrosiris posted:
We just Tank LB3 that. The damage check isn't very tight if no one dies. We killed it at 9:46, and the enrage is at 10:30, so you really don't need the LB for damage in this fight.

Kyrosiris posted:Yeah, I guess "complicated" is the wrong word - maybe "higher execution demand". Nothing in P1S feels like it demands anywhere near the same precision and lack of mistakes as either Channeling Overflow, f.ex. The only thing in P1S that requires everybody to be on point or you wipe is the 4x chains but even that can be yolo'd with a little luck (one person loving up Intemperance sucks bad for everyone but it's potentially recoverable with heroic effort from the healers).

The "no one dies" thing is the bugbear there though.  I've threatened to stop making tinctures for people who get dropsy because it's pissing me off so much.(to add to the anecdotes we one-shot P1S this week and then spent a full lockout trying to get a P2S clear again with no success)

If you DPS LB3 instantly upon getting it them you'll have tank LB1 for that coherence, which is definitely nice if you're in week one gear.

We're stuck on channeling 3 right now, but my group is blind progging and we get like 5-6 hours a week. We think we have a solution for it, but between people being unsure of actually executing channeling 2's strategy, or us just doing something weird, it's rough going. Hoping to figure it out by today though.

cat beard posted:How is P3S to prog in PF if anyone's done it through PF? I remember E11S being mostly fine but I hear all kinds of stuff about how much of a wall P3S is for PF groups (then again I've heard the same about P2S and have had zero issues so far with PF reclears/the clear group we were in was pretty solid). The DPS requirement does start to get real in 3; 2 needs ~42k, which the PF groups I've been in have scraped by to reach, and 3 needs ~45k. It should be easier in a few weeks when everyone can get their 590 weapon though. hazardousmouse posted:ok, so I know amon's chapeau is the one true bard hat but have you SEEN the forgiven hat of aiming?

There's all kinds of room to move around, it isn't like Tall Frog's tight rope walk. I'll still defend the one time I did get dropsy in that fight though, since I had to En Avant across the center to make it to a number spot in time for the Limit Cut mechanic. The only moral dropsy.

Zack Ater posted:Dot math gets messier when you're refreshing early, though. Take a 300s single target fight - if you managed 100% uptime by only hitting thunder 10 times, you got the full value of each dot; if you managed 100% uptime by hitting 20 thunders, you only got *half* the value of the dot from each, because the duration per cast only averaged 15s instead of 30s. If you're slamming thundercloud ASAP well before the dot expires, you're lowering the relative damage of every thunder (proc'd or not) in the fight. This is the wrong way to think about it. Clipping doesn't make the dot do less damage, it's gonna tick every 3 seconds either way. The loss is from offsetting the rest of the rotation with a weaker GCD.

Leraika posted:I'm a little down on macrocosmos because I feel like I have to let it run its course to be useful but that means that I'm healing while it runs and it feels kind of wasted when it pops, usually. I much prefer the way haima/panhamia works but like sage less overall. This is a me thing, not a mechanic thing.. reading some pages ago and just wanted to offer some advice My favorite time to use macro is when you expect two heavy hitting raidwides in a row. Hit macro before the first one, use a different ogcd to heal back from the first raidwide, then after the 2nd raidwide, use micro. One example for this is during intemperance 1 in P1S: Place star before first color pops Right before 1st wrath, cast macro Before 2nd wrath, pop star After 2nd wrath, micro will heal all to full Ruzihm fucked around with this message at 21:01 on Jan 19, 2022 |

Ibblebibble posted:To be honest Channeling 3 isn't super hard to do even without using tank LB3. My PUG clear group did it without LB3 but it definitely killed a lot of our pulls. We even had deaths to it on the pull where we cleared, but it was a tank and healer on the second arrows so it didn't wipe us. I don't think it's that hard, it just requires a lot of movement and precision positioning that isn't required for previous iterations of that mechanic. The big thing with P2S that made it feel easy to me was that all the mechanics resolve really slowly. Because the arena is what it is they had to allow time for people to move all the way around to get into position, so it feels like you get a lot more leeway. During our penultimate Kampeos I got into position, got up to turn off an oven timer, and got back before the boss became targetable.

I've never seen my static die to not spreading so many times Reminds me of E6S, which was a nightmare to clear in PUGs and just as bad for reclears. Mechanics weren't particularly hard if you slowed them down, but they came so fast you'd see people just blow up to regular spreads.

Are we still sharing character art commissions? Because I just got one back that I've been waiting for and it's everything I'd hoped it would be.   (Artist is https://twitter.com/PG__Animation/) Idea was spawned from the following quip on discord: quote:large encyclopedia-sized book labelled "Final Fantasy XIV's MSQ"

cat beard posted:After having played dps for multiple savage tiers I'd always thought tanks were hard to come by (I certainly remember waiting on them for ages when my old static was missing one) but now that I play tank with my buddy co-tanking it seems like I'm swimming in tanks. Fun experience regardless, I definitely feel like I'm paying more attention to fight mechanics than I did as dps because I'd only really think about ones directly affecting me/ones I needed to mitigate. i've done one lockout of P3S in party finder and it wasn't bad at all. Made it past the add phase a few times and got to practice some mechanics my static hasn't reached yet. I don't go into savage PF groups expecting more than practice though, the overall dps is invariably too poo poo to make it past enrage even if mechanics are on point

For my static, the biggest pain points were spreading for gloryplume (just because the timer is so tight and you start stacked) and getting the finicky positioning down for fountain of fire

PUG DPS is very week-dependent. PUGs are a lot less likely to pentameld or even have crafted gear in the first week or two, so getting those first few drops and gated tomestone pieces makes a much bigger difference than it does to statics.

It was pretty easy and chill to get 4 runs in a day for the shb chunk but I'm going to have to relax a little on rushing it if it's going to be 15-18 per dungeon tier. Did y'all split it by dungeon level and bring the entire group up at once? Or select a party and take them through the entire stretch then repeat that?

If you're leveling a tank you can cycle any 3 of (estinien/urianger/yshtola/graha) so you spread the xp fairly evenly among them, then you don't have 6 level 90s and one 80 playing catchup
