Bruceski posted:Cleared P1S last night. This is my first time doing savages, and it's neat to figure out what I can improve by taking all the different resources and putting them together. The reason you want to use Radiant Finale and Battle Voice after Raging Strikes is because they have shorter durations and you want to maximize the number of GCDs you have where all three are up. It's worth taking into account for sure, but there's larger optimizations you could be making.

"Do I need to care?" is highly subjective and only becomes more subjective with gear and your personal goal. Do you want to clear the first two fights by 6.2? You can probably ignore basically every optimization beyond "press a GCD" and you'll be fine because your gear will have made DPS checks trivial. Do you want to get a blue or purple parse on every savage fight? You probably should care, yes.

If you are using Raging Strikes first you are probably either using the wrong opener (and messing up your/your party's buff alignment for the rest of the fight) or delaying Raging Strikes after the first use. Neither of these are great. With almost every job on the same 2 minute burst cycle, maintaining buff alignment is one of the most important things you can do beyond just better uptime (which is the number one way to improve damage).

It's worth taking into account for sure, but there's larger optimizations you could be making. That would explain it. I was only thinking about the cooldowns not the durations. And I agree, not a priority, I was confused why it mattered at all. There's the reason.

Theris posted:I've been leveling some DPS with squadrons and I do not understand why people like them more than trusts. Sure they do a bigger share of damage than trusts once they've leveled tactics a bit and can theoretically get through dungeons quicker, but otherwise they're worse in every way. The most annoying thing is having to manage tank enmity with Engage because they won't pick up every mob in a pack, and sometimes will lose enmity on things they already picked up. Trust tanks will pick up anything that gets near them and that's that. Because it is THEIR squadron that THEY customized, versus just the scions being foisted on you.

Do you have a different opener or did you confuse Raging Strikes for one of the party buffs I meant Raging Strikes second, whoops.

Do you have a different opener or did you confuse Raging Strikes for one of the party buffs I assumed they meant to say Radiant Finale, because you definitely don’t want to be sitting on max coda Finale for any period of time when WM comes back up and you want RS to always come first Edit: welp, that answered that MechaX fucked around with this message at 21:57 on Feb 18, 2022 |

Exactly, personal expression is a huge part of why people enjoy the game, and getting to play dress up with 8* more people than just yourself is a huge draw. Then getting to play with your dolls that you dressed up is awesome. *-I think its eight but I honestly can't remember.

Additional fun part of looking at my parses:  Spot the point where I said "oh crap we're getting close to enrage just hit something and pray" and my rotation fell apart. Once you get past the initial hurdle of not thinking of yourself as terrible for every mistake, it's neat to analyze this stuff. Bruceski fucked around with this message at 22:22 on Feb 18, 2022 |

Mr. Nice! posted:Your issue is you didn’t get hit by the opposite color. The first blast to hit you will give you a debuff that matches the color of the eyes. If you get hit by the same color when you have that debuff, it fucks you up. The gimmick is if you have a blue debuff, get blasted by red eyes and vice versa. yeah i thought i was following the gimmick, is what i've been trying to say - got blue, align with tethered red (or so i thought), get stunned anyway. 99% sure at this point i just misaligned myself, cos the problem hasn't repeated vv see edit, thought i was aligned with a statue that was opposite color & tethered Ciaphas fucked around with this message at 23:02 on Feb 18, 2022 |

Gotta look at at the color of the side it connects to as they are often the opposite of the other side.

I don't understand chocobo breeding at all but it appears through dumb luck that my pedigree 6 girl I just acquired while grinding for that chocobo hat has excellent stats. My new racer has 3/4/4/4/3 for her stars. I want to seize the opportunity here to ensure the next couple of her line are at least as good, maybe even score me a nice 100% 4 stars all over chocobo and do those challenges I hear get you a rare barding. How do I do that???

I finally got around to doing Orbonne Monastery when it came up in alliance roulette today and I am a big fan thunder god's endless barrage of extremely FFT voice lines also I think I lucked out because I'd heard that one was pretty rough but almost everyone seemed to know all the mechanics (except me but it went ok)
