iPodschun posted:The point about GCDs is about your partner’s opener, not yours. You want to have Devilment line up for most-all of the big damage in their opener. That makes sense to me. Most of them don't have all the raid buffs up until the third GCD, so it would make sense to pop devilment after technical step to maximize them.

Finally got BLM to 90, wrapping up all the casters so I can finally dump the leveling gear. BLM 80-88 is kinda boring since a lot of it is trait adjustments and you won’t be using High Fire/Blizzard outside of mobs. But Paradox is a really good button, looks nice, and finally replaces Fire I which flew aesthetically at Thamaturge levels, but not when I am making explosions. Hell, I think Paradox is unique in the sense that no other mage in the game so far has any attack like it, so it’s cool that it’s a move the WoL themselves likely created I think from a gameplay perspective, the casters are all in good spots and are fun

I’m still getting to the portion where they expect you to have done scrip turnins but I think the HW stories are way better for like “here’s context for your profession”. The ARR crafting stories weren’t bad but felt a little rote because they were always tied to the guildmaster in some way. The HW ones mostly being for Some Random Schmucks makes them more endearing for me. Big props to the disgraced house where the butler can only afford half a suit of armor to try to run to his lady’s rescue (ARM I think) Anyways the recipe book requirements don’t bother me too much since they forcefully directed me to the collectibles which I’d been unsure about when to start

Ferdiad Hollow in Dun Scaith has Flameflow, which is Fire and Water at the same time, close enough imo.

You think we have fire and ice phases cause we're sucking all the fire aether out to blast someone, creating a hunk of ice so we just huck it at them?

I love Paradox, but I also appreciate Amplifier a lot more than I thought I did, in part because of the animation. BLM's other polyglot-involved magic looks pretty tightly controlled and hands-off (like, a black crystal is conjured on top of your enemy, and when it shatters it releases purple auroras in broadly geometric shapes), but when you use Amplifier you just double over stabbing your staff into the ground and these tentacular violet flames just suffuse your entire body. Really feels like you're doing something that they warn you to never, ever do from day 1 of wizard school, except you're now so powerful you can get away with it.

admanb posted:that wouldn't affect parse %. FFLogs doesn't need to know how much damage abilities do to calculate your DPS and compare it to everyone else.  It actually does, but only for DoTs. The game doesn't report back the damage for each individual dot, it only reports 'this tick, the boss took X damage from all dots together' and FFLogs does some math to assign that damage to individual players. That's how this happened: https://mobile.twitter.com/KihraOfTemerity/status/1484166023167287300 The new dot at the end of the Confiteor combo and Goring Blade can't stack, but FFlogs assumed they do, so Paladins who played wrong stole some of the dot DPS from their party members.

Nice! I was wondering how that poo poo in particular came to happen, and that makes (a very FFXIV-as-spaghetti) kind of sense. Even in this hypothetical that would only make your buffed DPS as reported by FFLogs worse though, right? If your DoT's potency got buffed the damage would go up but you wouldn't be assigned the correct share.

admanb posted:Nice! I was wondering how that poo poo in particular came to happen, and that makes (a very FFXIV-as-spaghetti) kind of sense. This issue is bad players will overwrite one or both of the PLD dots with frequency. ACT doesn't pick that up and was giving PLD credit for dot damage as if both were running together. So there would be parts of the fight that 2x the dot share would be allocated to the PLDs instead of to the rest of the party. As a corollary to this, other party members' dps would have been slightly lower if they have a dot although total dps counted by ACT would be the same.
