I feel weird for preferring the first phase's theme to the second. First phase's theme just felt like Soken was showing off in the best possible way.

I prefer second phase because I went in expecting the music to segue into an orchestral version of the Endwalker theme after the guitar opener but then Soken slammed me across the back with a trumpet rendition of Maker's Ruin.

I remember literally nothing about the final boss fight; I was out of my head with a migraine (no sleep + leraika is bitching about the strobing in dead ends again) and the only thing that sticks in my mind is going 'ohhh that's cool, they have a mechanic that calls the primals that helped us here to do something' because I'd never seen a level 90 summoner before and our group had like four of them. also I kept having to be scraped up off the floor

I had a PLD who struggled through the first phase, found out it wasn't their first time because they commented on how the 2nd track slaps hard. And then proceeded to somehow get 7 vuln stacks before he was mercifully killed. Honestly wishing my character had given into despair at that moment so I could've turned into a monster and killed him myself.

I had a similar thought the second time I did it, when I was helping some friends. I just blurted out what the gently caress is Ifrit doing here? I didn't see him last time... Oh yeah... Summoners.

Anybody happen to remember how many wolf marks the GARO weapons cost last time? If you farmed it all out years ago you should be able to knock out several titles fast, like sam and dancer, with just a weapon purchase. Gunbreaker (and reaper I think?) will need to buy entire sets though since they can't use any of the existing gear.

(This also doesn't factor if they've nerfed prices for the second pass, like they did when they added onto the Yo-kai Watch event.)

It's especially gonna be easy in the early days of Crystalline Conflict, when you don't have to deal with the unbalanced bullshit of Frontlines. A bit of overkill, since all they needed to do to make PvP good was to give Rival Wings a daily challenge so people run it outside of moogle events, but hey, if it works.

Is there a guide to the GARO outfits/titles somewhere? I wasn't here for the first run, and I should probably pre-plan which ones I want.

Antivehicular posted:Is there a guide to the GARO outfits/titles somewhere? I wasn't here for the first run, and I should probably pre-plan which ones I want. At the Wolves' Den Pier, there will be a Disreputable Priest standing around. She will sell GARO gear for Wolf Marks, which you get from just doing PVP stuff (not only winning, though you get more for winning), including a daily bonus for Frontlines roulette. Once you have a full left-side set of GARO gear for one job, wear it all and present yourself to the Priest for a GARO title for that job. (The titles are: Garo (PLD), Barago (WAR), Kiba (DRK), Dan (DRG), Zero (NIN), Makai Monk, Makai Bard, Makai Machinist, Makai Black Mage, Makai Summoner, Makai Scholar, Makai Astrologian, Makai White Mage, and Makai Master (have all the other titles). Once you've earned a title, you can also repurchase that set from the Calamity Salavager NPCs for gil. The Gold Saucer will be selling GARO gear as well, though last time it was its own versions that didn't interact with the event achievements (it was just so you could grab some cosmetics without PVP). You then need to set your displayed title to one of the GARO titles and get a certain number of VICTORIES in PVP for the GARO mounts (they're all metallic winged horses). It was 10 Frontline wins for the silver, 30 Feast wins for the gold, and 60 combined Frontline/Feast wins for the gunmetal black. (They will very likely replace the Feast requirements with the new Crystalline Conflict mode.)  As of now (pre-6.1), the sets are (M/F if there's a split, as the images have them left to right): Golden Wolf (PLD)  Undying Twilight (WAR)  Pressing Darkness (DRK)  White Night (DRG)  Silver Wolf (NIN)  Makai Mauler/Makai Manhandler (MNK)  Makai Marksman/Makai Markswoman (BRD, MCH)   Makai Priest/Makai Priestess (BLM, SMN)   Makai Sun Guide/Makai Moon Guide (SCH, AST, WHM)    I could not tell you at the moment if any of the new jobs will get new sets or if they'll just share the existing ones and only have new weapons.

Try the Toku thread in ADTRW for more details but I know Over-Time subbed one or two of the shows awhile back so you can hope on their discord to see if some people will help seed some torrents for batches.

ZenMasterBullshit posted:You would need a weapon to get the title since you have to have the full set equipped on that class to get them. I think it's most likely everyone gets a weapon, though, and either Gunbreaker and Reaper get totally unique armor sets, or they get "generic" sets that can also be worn by future Fending and Maiming jobs, since there's not already one of either. (In that instance, presumably they'd make a generic Scouting set for a hypothetical third run, but it's not something they had to do at the moment.)

Orcs and Ostriches posted:Lilies were completely useless in SB. They didn't really affect the job's effectiveness. I'm pretty sure that the only reason lilies exist is because Stormblood added a bunch of new UI elements for each job to keep track of their stuff, and it became apparent that WHM didn't have anything to make a meter out of so they had to improvise.

My favorite SB moment was in O4S p2 where there was a section where a massive amount of healing was required right after an aggro reset. So it wasn't uncommon for our WHM to steal aggro and subsequently eat the TB that was coming up. So it became a very useful spot for cover to be applied. I kinda miss aggro management. I don't miss having to randomly elusive jump because my aggro was getting too high. I also don't miss randomly elusiving off the arena while trying to reset aggro.

Hogama posted:Well, the preliminary patch notes say: The tank gear was all unique to each tank since it gave different titles, even if WAR and DRK got identical armor sets. Likewise, at the time, DRG was the only maiming job so their set was also effectively unique. I don't know anything about Garo outside of this event, but there's an English wiki that could point to some clues.   The blue one is Baron, which would be a cool title to have, and the red one is called Yaiba. Hogama posted:The Gold Saucer will be selling GARO gear as well, though last time it was its own versions that didn't interact with the event achievements (it was just so you could grab some cosmetics without PVP).

Hogama posted:Just leaving it open to the possibility of the lowest effort needed and making the Samurai, Red Mage, Dancer, and Sage achievements only require the armor. I mean that doesn't really work because all those share gear with at least one other class. Having the whole armor set equipped for Samurai means you've got the whole thing with a monk weapon meaning you're unlocking the Monk title. They've got to at least get weapons.

I was poking around Party Finder for P2S and saw some terms I didn't recognize on one guy's list: 0257 uptime LC o+ Is anyone able to translate? The guy also wants ilevel 599 with very specific jobs in each slot so they may not be useful acronyms to know. Also, does there happen to be a general resource to look these terms up that isn't a 30 minute long rambling video where the guy doesn't actually talk about them? Sometimes stuff's obvious, other times a simple mechanic gets named "walter's cat strats" because some guy had a noisy cat on stream when he happened to use it.

I think that DRK isn't THAT bad, especially when played competently, but oh my god you do NOT want to see one in a post 70 leveling dungeon. Those fuckers will try to die in the space of a global cooldown. You will be chain-casting GCD heals and double weaving ogcds between and they won't use any defenseives and still die. Or, you'll just barely pull through, but then they'll charge into the next pack and you won't have any cooldowns left and they still won't use any of theirs and either blame you or be "drk is broken, this is just how they are deal with it"

So I've always known that the heal from Pneuma is super fast, but while going over some footage from E4S with a static member, we noticed that it's actually time traveling: Yes, the heal actually happens before the cast bar is even done  The same seems to be true for Succour shields as well. They used to be super slow to actually activate, but also get applied before the cast bar is even done now.

Here's my hot take: while drk sustain is complete trash, they still aren't hard to heal and if you consistently find yourself having difficulties with dark knights, it may be time for some introspection on your own capabilities.
