Yeah I'll report back if it works. Looks like you get 1m gil too, which is gonna leave me all wistful that I can't apply that to my main guy somehow.

Pinax is the only mechanic my group is still struggling with, four weeks into reclears Its more like sixteen distinct patterns: lightning/water first, fire/poison first, cape or sword, and then the final multiplier is whether he teleports next to the active tile or not (doesn't matter so much for fire but is a big deal for poison). There's just a lot that can go wrong.

cheetah7071 posted:Pinax is the only mechanic my group is still struggling with, four weeks into reclears The way we do it, it's really only 4 patterns: - Lightning/Fire - Lightning/Poison - Water/Fire - Water/Poison If it's water first, do not use your knockback invuln (you lose one GCD at most, but probably none). Then, always run to where he jumps to, and always use the knockback invuln on the way there (even if it's not water third or cape). You already know which tile is unsafe (because it's the opposite of the first element), so don't be there. Poison last does not matter, you have forever to spread. Always doing the same thing made that mechanic a lot easier than having to think whether it was okay to use invuln or not / where to stand for sword or cape.

Use knockback immunity if water is first, ride the knockback to the correct side if knockback is second. Only other thing you have to do is remember to check whether it's sword or cape. Everything else is trivial to resolve.

Inner release is always up for second knockback, so I get to ignore mechanics.

i just negate the water knockback regardless because there's roughly ten thousand years between the cape knockback happening and fire/poison resolving

in practice almost all of our pinax wipes these days are to the second pinax so it's just mental exhaustion rather than not being able to do the mech at all

Getting 30 Fisher was indeed fast and easy - total time a bit over 1:45 - and there's a million Gil sitting on this character and 15 days on my account. Did it with one ocean fishing trip and just a few minutes fish-grinding after that. Strictly speaking I just worked nearly two hours for like $7 of value but you know what it feels good anyway!

You stop playing until the dragonsong war ultimate comes out and then you try progging that for 2 weeks before your ult static implodes in a glorious fashion and you swear off the game until a week before the next tier.

11000002 returns After a few days of being able to do overworld stuff with perfect stability, I decided to tempt fate by posting on the last page that I had it fixed, and by doing roulettes. Dungeons and roulettes up to level 50 seem fine, 60 is a maybe, and 70 is a no. It's interesting that framerate tanks around big PC crowds without crashing, but can't handle the fighting action with a smoother framerate. When the spell effects really ramp up, or if I start doing particularly well as healer, it crashes instantly. GPU tends to get near 100% at those moments but temps are fine. This is different than the flickering black boxes seconds before the crash where you can see it coming which happens at default GPU clock speeds. Lowering the GPU clock further (from -60 to -65, then -70) seemed to make the crash happen sooner, and lowering graphics did not seem to help. Maybe I'll be able to find some perfect balancing point between -10 and -60. I'm not sure how to approach tests going forward because doing multiplayer knowing you might crash is a dick move. Maybe I will look on twitch for big house parties. iPodschun posted:Between this post and the one in the newbie thread, you seem to have it under control now but thought I'd contribute my experience: After getting a new computer in December 2020, XIV was crashing very often.

I don't remember anything promising in Event Viewer but I'll start keeping a closer look at it. Theophany posted:The solution is always nuking your C: drive with a clean winstall. I did this twice, once with Windows 10 and once with Windows 11. My Steam Deck reservation says after Q2 2022. A PS5 or new GPU would be an option, but isn't a very attractive once since the game looks and runs great otherwise, and I just dropped the cash on the new TV. All other games I've played with this setup have been fine except HITMAN 3, which just isn't super stable. It's an uncomfortable proposition that this game may now have a new $500+ barrier to entry. This is coming just as parts of the game are really clicking for me post-Stormblood. I could just put the game down for now and wait for the Steam Deck to come in, but the game looks great at 4k, and I have the sunk cost of the subscription I just topped up before the old TV really became unusable. Similarly, I could try lowering the resolution but it's so pretty and runs really well, up until it doesn't. Heran Bago fucked around with this message at 00:55 on Mar 3, 2022 |

Honestly I'd be tempted to flip your 1070 for a reasonably priced replacement of equal or greater power as that seems to be the root problem. Obviously GPU prices and availability continue to be screwy for consumers, but in my experience when a piece of hardware continues to cause errors after a drive nuke then it's likely only going to get worse over time as the hardware degrades and you slowly descend into madness.

The next things I really must try are running the game in Vulkan with DXVK and checking the RAM. My troubleshooting patience will probably run out after that.

It seems totally reasonable for a static looking for a single sub for one night to want the same job as you're filling in for. Saves having to replan cooldown usage.

I mean if you've built your Buff/CD timers around one specific set of classes then it's a bit tricky to on the fly shuffle for a one night shuffle. Class balance, even now, is still pretty good and everything can clear anything combo wise. My static is running SGE and DRK/GNB with a MCH and BLM for learning and we're getting by fine.

Having a warrior is really useful on P4S as it lets you ignore all the tank busters in both halves of the fight.

I only play Warrior for the tanks, but as I understood it GNB and PLD's versions of Bloodwhetting were roughly equivalent but WAR scales absurdly well with multiple enemies in dungeons. Is there a gimmick to those tankbusters that makes the pre-shield better than the other abilities' post-heals? Assuming the ~20-30% mitigation (if I did the math right since it's two stacking effects) is enough to survive the hit in the first place.

Assuming the ~20-30% mitigation (if I did the math right since it's two stacking effects) is enough to survive the hit in the first place. The warriors shield isn't better than the healing the others provide, no, I'd say it's worse actually if you're directly comparing the two. It's effectively a 400 pot heal and the GNB heal is 900 pot after all. But the warriors healing via Bloodwhetting can also be increased because when your GCD crits, the heal also crits as well, so even if you're on a single target it's pretty okay. And if you used Thrill of Battle you're getting an extra 20% off those GCD heals.

It's not about mitigation, it's just that Holmgang cd is low enough for warrior to solo the first and third dualbusters in both part 1 and part 2 while the offtank can invul the second.

Bloodwhetting is a 400 potency shield + 4 GCDs of 400 potency healing for roughly 2000 potency worth of saved healing from the healers. This is on top of the 10%+10% mitigation. If you use a guaranteed crit from Inner Chaos or Primal Rend, the heal will crit too. Inner Release crits don't count. It's pretty easy to save those moves to get the crit heal in a bloodwhetting window as well. Holy Sheltron is 1000 potency total regen, with 20%+15% mitigation. Heart of Corundum is a 900 potency heal, with 15%+15% mitigation. TBN is a 25% max HP shield, which on a tank is roughly equivalent to 1500 potency worth of HP healing. Oblation is 10% and is probably the fair comparison here because DRK gets it at 82 alongside all the other tanks getting their upgraded short cd and duration defensives at that level as well. This should show why people think DRKs are squishier in dungeons because their short defensive mit is quite a bit weaker than the other classes. And why even against single target, WAR mitigation is crazy good not even taking into account the natural synergy it has with its own Thrill of Battle.

War is king in dungeons because bloodwhetting cannot be matched in aoe situations by any other tank. Apparently P2S can be solo tanked by PLD without too much fuss. It might be possible for war, but hallowed is a bit better to use for coherence as you can run straight through the puddles without having to worry about dropsy.
