All these terms are really dumb but it's also helpful to have terms as a shorthand. I think we're stuck with it until people come up with a better nomenclature system, otherwise re-describing every mechanic that gets re-used would get old very fast. Whatever new words get made up we should keep "Pantokrator" because it's really fun to say

raid callouts are jargon to the uninformed no matter what and aren’t a substitute for knowing a mechanic imo and different people get comfortable using different things

When calling out the nifty new tank stack buster marker, I'd waiver between calling it a Tank Stack, or a Tank Split (damage) until I accidently called it a Tank Splat. Now my static calls them Tank Splats.

There needs to be a cohesive language for raiding but it'd be nice if there were easier resources since so many are names after mechanics players are not going to see unless they unsync old content. Once you know it you know it of course

I think there was a google doc floating around some time ago that categorized mechanics and common terms for them my fav was always the saltedxiv raid pages cause it'd collate various strats per fight

since we're talking mechanic esoterica i got a question those chasers like the second to final boss in the first nier raid, do those continue to actually chase their target in realtime or is their direction fixed once the first aoe marker vanishes

It's fun to find out how many ways there are to overthink a tankswap. Ciaphas posted:since we're talking mechanic esoterica i got a question They chase in realtime. Unless I'm misremembering something and that fight in particular does something weird. In general they always readjust.

Also general apologies, I think I'm overly snarky today. My guild's decided to try proper raiding this expansion instead of some folks tagging along with other groups and yesterday was the first time everybody got their poo poo together. Most of us were on an experience range between "alt of an experienced raider" and "read the mechanics, haven't done them in practice" but it turned out one tank was intentionally doing it blind, everyone else was fine with that but nobody had told me. Then when they figured out their mess and we hit enrage (15% when it wasn't a clean run at all, that's in the doable range once you clean it up) one of our PUG DPSers kept wiping us on subsequent attempts because he was trying to ignore mechanics in favor of uptime. Quad Chains is not a mechanic you try to do shenanigans in favor of uptime. It was a mess. Add on computer troubles and other issues today, and I've just realized how absolutely grouchy I'm feeling without having realized it until now.

I'm a little confused how they were losing uptime on quad chains. It's a full melee uptime mechanic Unless they were a blm trying to plant until the last second? then you laugh at them cause they should move to their spot and then plant, instead of planting and then moving e: or maybe they were trying for positionals, which would be very dumb. that's why true north exists

I just started Heavensward the other night and does every voice actor change? Alphinaud and Merlwyb seem decidedly worse to me. Cid also seemed different but I don't recall enough of his old VA to have an opinion on the change.

I think some of the characters added late in 2.x kept their VAs because they already knew the plan to switch studios by that point. Everyone else changed.

Edit: on that note, chains are totally random, right? As a Bard I only ever got red (if anything) both on the first chains and quad. Small sample size, but it gets me curious.

Some are better, some are worse, some you get used to, anyone who's on-screen right when the change happens gets the worst of it because you remember what they used to sound like.

If you use the standard waymark placements, melee have no trouble hitting the boss from the red chain positions

It was weird, that guy was on top of all the mechanics until we hit enrage and then he became a problem.
