Thundarr posted:Man, P4S door boss' gimmick of "pay attention to which attack DOESN'T hit you" is some bullshit. Since my brain is wired to think the exact opposite way to decide how to resolve a mechanic. we call out what the people who get hit do like, if dps are targeted first, we call out "dps out" if tanks/heals are tagreted second, we call out "tanks heals stack" it just removes a layer of reversal from the mechanic

Gotta say, I'm not used to this whole "no lag" thing since I migrated to the new Oceania Datacenter from an EU one. It's real nice  .

I’ve been popping devilment right before technical step instead of after so it gets the big boost. The difference is I don’t have it up for the last standard step you get in yours, but I always have it up for technical step. Does pushing it back make it line up better with other raid buffs?

From what I understand, yes, the boost it gives to Technical Step is not worth losing out on all the GCDs it can boost. Technical Step eats up a good what, 6 seconds of Devilment time minimum?

Yeah technical step just takes too long and since devilment is a critical and direct hit chance increase rather than a damage boost, losing those extra gcds for what may not actually end up being a big boosted hit is not worth it.

Finally, the drat P2S kill. After multiple enrages cause a healer kept dying at the last eruptions which lead to bad things on the stacks. Probably won't get P3S this week though, gonna be a busy weekend. At least I got a acc enhancer, woohoo!

I don't lose any GCDs, though. I literally only miss out on the standard step. e: I see the image has the buff go a bit further than the end there. I'll just have to test it a bit to see.

Ibblebibble posted:You lose GCDs on steps that you could have been using for Sword Dance/weaponskills instead. Yeah that's the timing I gotta look at. As it is I normally use all of my GCDs from Flourish and Saber Dance right before devilment drops, and it always drops right before standard step comes up. I also hit flourish and fan dance 3 right after technical step because I already have devilment up. I'm certainly wrong as I'm not doing the standard opening. I just have to play and compare to see.

My fflogs page doesn't list anything (i guess since i haven't uploaded any personal logs), but on the ones that have been uploaded from my static I've been able to still get into the upper 80s for P1S and P2S even though I still have the 580 crafted weapon, so I think I'm doing alright at i585 overall on war. The tomahawk buff did nothing for me, though, because I don't use it to open.

My group spent several hours beating our heads off the P4S door boss. We've mostly got the blood rakes down after figuring out why things were getting passed off unexpectedly. Right now it's mostly complete chaos during Pinax squares as people try and fail to position themselves in safe spots for the knock backs, since sometimes you can ignore them both with Arm's Length and sometimes you can't. And sometimes you don't want to!

cheetah7071 posted:cleared P4S door tonight. I can already tell it's going to be less of a pain in the rear end to reclear than E12 With the tier on farm for my group the general consensus is that P3S is the annoying fight this tier. With P4S-1 cleared you're honestly past the two more tricky-to-execute mechanics in Tethers/Pox and Pinax. Very nearly everything to come in P4S-2 is a step dance - lots of movement but with little to no variation and always the same motions every time. The real challenge of P4S-2 is in execution because the DPS check can be very tight early on - but gear acquisition will make this easier week by week. P3S has a lot more mechanics with a lot of moving parts (add divebombs, fountain, firestorms, gloryplumes) which even when you know them well have a higher chance of one person messing up a little and murdering everyone.

Big birds do hurt but I've found that Rampart + short cd spam is enough with an attentive healer. Hardest part is remembering to move if you have 2 tethers.

my static has gotten used to always using anti knockback on water, whether it's first or second. second thunder into cape is a small movement to make, and you have ages after to move around for stack/spread. I did get roped into a group that saves for cape late last week, but we cleared the door boss in like three pulls and I never saw water + cape in that time.

I always save it for second in case it's cape/water + cape. I'm the MT at that point so cape pushing me fucks up everyone else's positioning. You can probably be more on the fly if you're not the MT though.

I put up a small cafe wall on my house and the inside door is ridiculous. Yard decorating somehow manages to have the opposite problem of indoor decorating, there's way too little choice so getting a consistent look is a lot harder.
