Hien during the bit Lyse was there for was a fine war time and liberation leader, which is what she needed to learn at the time. Hien just looks worse because of later stuff, in the .0 storyline he’s fine.

Post-EW spoilers I know our Azem stone is out of creation juice but I'm imagining Emet-Selch becoming a permanent trust member; he doesn't get any dungeon specific lines, he just constantly complains that not even death can save him from Azem's antics as you repeatedly summon him back in.

Heroic Yoshimitsu posted:Started leveling black mage… I’m excited for the experience of seeing the job change every ten levels or whatever lol Honestly after leveling a few other jobs I think I prefer jobs like BLM or RPR that change moderately to radically with successive expansions to jobs like MNK or SMN that basically finish their kit by 60 or 70 and then just get graphical upgrades or like one extra button. It's kind of novel to wind up in a low level trial or raid and see if I can top the enmity list with the super basic version of my rotation sometimes.

I wish there was a button to just hide the ones you don't have instead of greying them out because I find that effect too subtle to be useful when doing quick glances.

GiantRockFromSpace posted:ffs they really need to buff everything in Bozja so people can actually do the storyline, because the only thing worse than that experience was reading all the loving "LFG Z3" messages while doing so. I'm at the same step and I'm also stuck. I've tried it 3 times now and timed out on the final boss all three times. Even if they just cut the health (or crank up the echo for small parties) on the last two bosses it would help dramatically, they're extremely fat stacks of HP for 6-12 people, which is the average attempt size these days, and if anybody dies you lose a ton of time.

I never got out of zone 2 in Zadnor. I popped in there after EW launched to try to level RPR a little and it was loving impossible to do anything. I swear in like the 30 minutes I was there only one FATE spawned in the zones I had access to.

I've seen the odd group running the other zones but it's usually a lot less people. I did z2 for several hours this weekend but it was only one group of 8 people. That said all they really need to do is just add XP to the final raids (of both zadnor and bozja) and even out the XP of the fates in the different areas so that you can just do fates anywhere without hurting your efficiency, but people have been saying that for a while now and they haven't done it yet. Hopefully sometime soon.

I mean, my very first kill was 7 people and it seemed fine, just because there weren't enough rank 25's at the time to fill a full party. I'ts not like we had Rays or knew what we were doing. Are people not using essences or something?

I managed to just get it now with a group of 9, so I guess it depends on how many people with honors/essences you get. And I guess the first attempt failed cause we wasted a lot of time at the beggining. still buff this shitto, you should be incentivized to do it, it's not like Bozja has so many players you'd lock out people from the raids now. Also I guess I'll take easy the last step, I can get some from roulettes if I get 70 dungeons and it's not like I'm hurrying for the relic, the SB one will be when I ever want to do Eureka and hahahaha im never finishing ARR as long as books exist.

I'ts not like we had Rays or knew what we were doing. Are people not using essences or something? This is kind of funny because two of my failed runs were with 6 people. Both runs died to time on the final boss with less than 25% HP remaining, so maybe that last person really matters... My other run was 12 people but that included 8 people who had never done it before(including me at the time), so it took forever for us to get through the hallways because people had no idea what to do and kept messing up the electric floor and callouts.

This has me curious to try Dalriada and CLL now. I always thought it was a blast when I could get in them with just a few other people during ShB when we'd run around the instance with like 300k HP, so now I'm curious to see how it feels with the stat squish.

After preshielding, start each pull with one of either Panhaima or Haima - you can generally rotate between them without issue at the average dungeon pace, though you should hold them if the pull is relatively small ala the first pull after the first boss in the 81 dungeon - and Kerachole. When Kerachole's worn off, do Physis + Taurochole on the tank; you can hold the Taurochole until the tank's taken some damage, but you generally want to use it within 10s of Physis to make it benefit from the short duration healing potency buff Physis gives. When Taurochole's worn off, hit Kerachole again, and the pack should be dead by that point. Use Druocholes, Soteria, and Zoe'd E.Diagnosis as necessary to deal with rough patches, especially if the tank's using mitigation poorly. Once you get Krasis, pop it before the initial Panhaima/Haima to give them a significant boost. For bosses, AoE damage is generally best dealt with by Kerachole and Physis, with Ixochole only being used when necessary to deal with Vulned players. Kerachole's damage reduction component will outstrip the single tick of healing you lose on the overwhelming majority of AoE situations if you cast it about halfway through the raidwide cast, which is fairly easy to do with 1.5s Dosis. Tankbusters are usually best patched up with Taurochole/Druochole instead of trying to shield them with E.Diagnosis. If Kerachole is down before a raidwide, you can hit Holos beforehand instead. There's a couple rough patches, especially in the 81 dungeon. Personal recommendation for it is that, when you get to the final two pulls, you should try and tackle the first one with short cooldowns and save Panhaima/Haima. What's worked for me has been Soteria + Kerachole, followed up by Physis + Taurochole, Zoe'd E.Diagnosis (if necessary), and Druocholes to fill the gaps. You might need to stop and slam out a raw E.Diagnosis, but I personally find the small DPS loss to be a favorable trade for making the final hell pull a lot smoother, since you'll have Panhaima/Haima to rotate through and will likely have Soteria/Zoe ready again by the time everything else has been burned. (Also, small addendum: depending on how psycho you are with your DPSing, you may want to preshield yourself along with the tank during pulls, since Kardia will unavoidably nab aggro before the tank has a chance to AoE if you're running alongside the pull putting out E.Dosis or Eukrasia.)

Once you get Krasis, pop it before the initial Panhaima/Haima to give them a significant boost. Haima and Painhaima are affected by Physis (and Krasis), so are a better choice than Taurachole for getting the boost. In general, remember you can dump 45s of 10% mitigation into the tank with Kera, Taura, Kera. Alternate them because they don't stack. That length should cover most pulls. Holos is good whenever. (pan)haima are your strongest buttons, so give them the boosts when you can. Druchole is your last resort button for stacks. Kerachole and Taurachole are much better uses of it when you can help it.

Haima and Panhaima are also generally used at the same time tanks are popping their big mitigation tools, however, so I usually prefer to combo Physis/Taurachole to make the small mitigation portion of the pull easier to manage without having to pump out as many Druocholes.

My thinking is that you'd get much less value out of Physis' HoT component if the boost to Haima/Panhaima and Kerachole causes significant overhealing, since the tank'll likely be regening way more than is needed at that point in time compared to post-Haima/Panhaim.
