Yeah, anima weapons are pretty simple to complete now, especially as long-term projects to dump poetics that you might get from various incidental sources. GC seals and crafter/gatherer scrip can also do some of the lifting.

Classical gear is not worth the time to craft since you can get more gil doing almost anything else. It's a combo of DoH being so easy now and people not knowing how the market works so harder craft -> better than right?

Question if I do decide to use Party Finder for running maps: What is the standard etiquette? Everyone who wants to participate brings a map?

The two big ones I see are: Everyone brings a map. Free for all loot rolls. Everyone brings a map. Owner rolls need on portal loot, everyone else greed.

Yeah you should always bring at least one map no matter what, but that's a small hurdle unless you are poor since you can just buy them off the MB. If you're joining a party, they'll usually put up the rules in the description. Either it's Your Map Your Loot where you pass on everything but your own map, or FFA, where you roll need on everything. If you're making your own party, do whatever you want. I run FFA almost exclusively myself if I can.

"Only roll Need if it's your map" is a terrible system for several reasons, chief among them the fact that you're not guaranteed to get a portal. It puts you in a position where you're rooting for other people to have bad luck because if anyone else gets a portal it's less time spent on a map where you have a chance of actually getting something before the group disbands.

I like the hybrid system of owner Need outside portal, FFA inside portal.

FFA means that when people get unlucky, they blame the RNG instead of getting mad at people. It’s worth it for that alone.

Fiye posted:also less likely they'll leave when they did their map. Precisely. I'm way more incentivized to stay for everyone's maps, or at least as long as I have time to, when all the loot's on the table for me to take a shot at. If it's my map my loot, why the gently caress would I not bounce as soon as I'm out of maps (aside from being a dick)?

Vampire pirate seems like a tough job to have, what with probably needing to do at least some daytime sailing. Also I'll say it the only facial hair option for bunny boys gives them immediate dirtbag face. edit: Oh right what I came here to say in the first place. I have to stay off Icy Veins, I bought myself Machinist 80 a while back for hitting some goal or other, and their rotation guide is insanely offputting. Different rotations for 3 or 4 targets? I would rather be a bad machinist that memorize this much poo poo.

I would rather be a bad machinist that memorize this much poo poo. If a raid or extreme encounter ever has more than 3 targets consider it GGs go next. I legitimately can't remember the last extreme/savage/ultimate fight that had more than 1 target outside of a quick add phase. A2S? That's just info to make your dungeon run go faster when is kinda eh when hunt trains exist.

someone tell me whether this is brilliant or insane: problem: in P2S, during the second predatory avarice, it can be pretty hard for the tank and DPS targeted by avarice to keep uptime, given the tiny section of the arena you're forced into solution: have the party stack mid, just outside of dissociation, and have the two avarice people go to the edge of the boss. Use tank LB3+shields to zero out the damage from cataract so you don't take damage downs. Laugh all the way to fflogs with your two extra gcds of uptime.

I think the problem with the door boss is the hardest bit of the fight is Pinax which comes right at the start, so you have all these people who lucked through it once who think they are ready to join phase 1 clear groups because they saw enrage then immediately die.

Just finished Shadowbringers after 3 years on this game...yet to but Endwalker. Doing the post expansions quests but you need to do Crystal Tower to continue, so as my Gunbreaker is at max, deciding to pump my healers to 50 and run through to not lose the xp. For someone who won't have done the raid before, is White Mage or Scholar more interesting to run through it with?

When I did ST spam for the relic I used WHM since all I did was pump stone 2s and the occasional medica 2. So I'd probably go with SCH on that.

There's a larger gap between 2.0-2.1 level 50 content and the 2.4 gear max. When most people were running LOTA new, they were i60 on average and there were two tanks and four dps per group meaning just lower dps output in general. Four off tanks on the behemoth were literally standing at their tower on the off cardinals and clicking them off anytime they came up because if not it would wipe the raid. By the time you got to ilevel 90, you could blow past a lot of mechanics because you were 40 ilevels above the minimum. After HW dropped, everyone is going in at i130. If you want to experience the content, get some goons together and min ilevel it. We did alexander min ilevel a week or so ago and it was awesome. We wiped to cruise chaser on propeller wind
