Main difference is that you can't unsync Stone Vigil by yourself since that boss has its weird canon gimmick.

Been a while but you should be able to fish for a tail screw on that boss and ignore the cannons

Enough of this nonsense. You are an important mayor and this absurd contraption has wasted enough of your time.

I've been getting Dun Scaith in the roulette a lot lately, and it always turns into a shitshow. Deathgaze I can understand, but Diabolos will usually cause a wipe too. I think the mechanic that kills most people (besides the little orbs) is when he drops meteors that everyone needs to soak. Often an entire alliance or two will just die. People in chat will say that only tanks should soak the center meteor, but a lot of older guides say the center should be soaked by a lot of players. Is "tanks only in the center" the more reliable strategy?

From what I remember tanks are the only ones who can soak the center without dying and they need (or needed to) use cd's to do it.

instead of unsyncing stuff, you can sync stuff for a 100% learn rate and to have fun with friends and strangers

also, solo-syncing dungeons as BLU, thanks to mighty guard and basic instinct that's a surprisingly viable option

Agreed, there are only a few bosses you can't really handle solo as a BLU. Unfortunately, that includes the one that teaches Tail Screw, but there are alternatives.

You can also Level 5 Death it. That's how I handle it whenever someone in my FC needs the spell or if I'm soloing the place for a Zodiac weapon.

Makes sense, though it also makes me wonder why I fished for tail screw on it. I’m sure I had some reason, bad or not

The synched stone vigil route is such a non issue that the past couple days in this thread is the first I've ever heard of people learning it via steps of faith. It seems like an extreme side route to solve a non existent problem

They're talking about Stone Vigil (Hard), which has a big turtle boss that has a ton of HP and can turn nearly invulnerable to everything except the cannons in the arena.

there's a behemoth helm and heavy behemoth helm available for 30 tomes each. if you trade those with a behemoth pelt (either drops from a fate in pagos or bought for ~1m on the mb) to an npc you can get an all class version of that helm.

Bozja is a data center-wide thing so hopping to another Primal server won't help. You can try DC traveling to Aether or Crystal to see if it's any better at this hour but my guess is that you're going to run into similar issues there too.

i'm really enjoying smn since hitting 90, but i got two aesthetic beefs: the sound effect of carby reappearing is too loud, and the initial summon effects are, uh, visually too loud

I've already found /petsize all small so at least demi-bahamut's not in the way, but those two things are still distracting. especially titan's summon attack, sheesh. is there somewhere in the labyrinth of config settings that i can turn down the volume & saturation of just those effects? (totally illegal third party tools acceptable)

I think the closest things will be XIVLauncher with EasyEyes/VFXEditor and Sound Filter. I don’t use those specific ones myself, so I don’t know how hard it is to do what you want.

How can I relearn summoner at level 79?

If you're coming back to the game having not touched Summoner since before Endwalker, just re-slot and reread every skill since summoner got completely remade for the most part. If you just haven't touched summoner in several months, well, summoner at 79 is still almost exactly the same as a lvl 50 summoner. Arguably, summoner's rotation is basically set in stone by lvl 26.

(Thought-ful Croak)
Carbuncle out

Ruin III
-Searing Light

Summon Bahamut
-Enkindle Bahamut oGCD
-Astral Flow/Deathflare oGCD
Ruin III/Astral Impulse 6x or until you run out
-Weave in Energy Drain and 2x Fester on oGCD

... then you summon Ifrit, Garuda, and Titan in whatever order until you've used all 3

Summon Ifrit
Crimson Cyclone (this is a charge attack)
Crimson Strike
Ruby Rite 2x

Summon Garuda
Slipstream
Emerald Rite 4x

Summon Titan
Topaz Rite 4x
-Mountain Buster 4x oGCD

if Phoenix is not up, fill with Ruin IV or Ruin III

then the cycle repeats, but Phoenix is ready instead of Bahamut

Summon Phoenix
-Enkindle oGCD
-Rekindle oGCD
Fountain of Fire 6x or until you run out
- Weave Energy/Fester oGCD again

Then Ifrit/Garuda/Titan again
Fill with Ruin IV or III as needed

then Bahamut, rinse/repeat

This is the bulk of it, you can figure out which order you prefer to use the summons in based on the fights. Ruin IV can be moved around if needed and is especially useful when Ifrit is up in case you need a little more mobility since his two Rites are long casts. It's probably not oPtImAl for raiding, but it'll get the job done.

okay well that's summoner at 90 anyway, but you can work your way back by reading Actions and Traits

pretty happy with this

that is the canon WoL there yknow

I asked in here about getting a picture like this done and everyone seemed to think it'd cost hundreds of dollars, but this dude's been churning em out for a few months now. I saw him on Reddit a while back and he finally got to mine. I knew there'd be a big market for this kinda thing if you can draw and you don't mind doing fan OC stuff. The art isn't a PERFECT match but it's close enough to go up on the wall, and I figure it'd be even easier to make it work if you made your own stock Scions image and offered to draw in people's characters.
