Vermain posted:Re: Island Sanctuary, it looks like the spreadsheet updated to recommend the Butter -> Relish -> Jam cycle, so I think it's best to go with that if you were a Sauerkraut holdout previously. Yeah, the "premier" craft (jam, corn flakes) you're getting 12h of efficient crafting and the same cowries per hour, but tomato is worth double that of sauerkraut and even butter is 70% more. Really doubt you're going to make up 750 cowries by being 3 groove higher over the course of the week. It's actually a crazy day that doesn't involve a granary mat or a 120+ base mat, AND it's giving us an extra 3 groove over a standard 4 craft day.

Give it only to Samurai, and it's only for themselves, because they're "selfish melee" dps so they get selfish defensive cooldowns. Obviously.

weirdly in FFXI, sneak attack was the rear positional, while trick attack requires you to be behind a party member iirc.

Lower uptime fights shake it up a bit but mch isn't in a good place meta-wise. I haven't seen anyone complaining that it's unfun to play, just that it needs some more potency Wildfire and Hypercharge suck absolute rear end on anything other than incredibly low ping and they need to be changed to a charge system, but yeah, the primary issue right now is that the DPS is too low for a so-called "selfish" DPS. Edit: Like, if I could wiggle my nose Bewitched-style and invoke immediate changes to MCH, I'd make Wildfire a 30-second debuff that auto-detonates after six Weaponskills and make Hypercharge similar to Inner Release (grants 5 stacks of Hypercharged, allowing the activation of Heat Blast or Auto Crossbow, lasts 20 seconds or something).

This is probably why BLM and NIN personal defensives got changed from nullifying/evading physical moves into %HP shields instead. For those that don't know BLM used to have Manawall and Manaward, where Manawall used to straight up block 2 instances of physical damage and had a massive duration of 60 seconds (likely intended for Titan Landslides). Similarly, Shade Shift on NIN used to be Perfect Dodge which let the NIN just dodge the next physical attack. Manawall got changed to a %HP physical damage shield in HW, and then got collapsed into Manaward for both magical/physical eventually. Perfect Dodge got turned into Shade Shift in HW as well with the same functionality as it is now.

Back to the original point (DPS enmity control), this is how Trick Attack works in FFXI - if you're behind another player, your next hit does extra damage and any enmity you generate from that damage spike is assigned to that player in front of you.

no because theres multiple ways attacks can inflict things like knockback on you. those attacks cant be 'knockback mitigated" with surecast et al but they also use(d) older tech of "apply on damage" so if you take 0 damage from the hit you dont get moved. this is in fact why they moved away from stuff like that because it meant hallowed ground/a particularly juicy adlo let you just ignore mechanics entirely lol

There are a lot more 'apply on damage' effects than you might expect. A bug that plagued P2S happened because people were so shielded that they wouldn't take damage from a mechanic, and this counted as doing it wrong so everyone got damage downs.

theyre still existent but 1) theyre basically never aimed at tanks anymore because of hallowed ground 2) non-tanks have lost basically every way to avoid them except shield healer shields (and even those have gotten relatively weaker over time given the loss of straight healing steroids and most healing received buffs). and you dont see them for knockbacks anymore either generally.

All that button does is open the supply and demand screen and let you fill your agenda slots from there, it does not provide any automated decision making. Like just about everything related to workshops, it is poorly worded.

In my experience, PF Devour prog groups are pool prog groups in reality. I've only been in two groups so far where everyone managed to get some sort of shared standard down and consistently stop making mistakes within the first few pulls. And before anyone brings up the obvious commonality there, I do pools perfectly 90% of the time on account of playing melee, who have the easiest time of them. I make all my mistakes on Double Rush instead

Pretty much everything else fits more into the "And x was also there!" category for Endwalker. Very nice and feelgood as a finale, but the MSQ itself brings in enough people that it shouldn't feel too bare if you just do Omega at least.

Definitely true, as much as I’d encourage everyone to do all the raids/trial series as you go through the game. And level alt classes. Ultimately do what I tell you so I can experience things vicariously

I haven't played in a while. Feeling the itch to do some leveling. What activities do I focus on if I have a limited time to play but want to get some levels under my belt? I'm guessing, prioritised: Tribes > leveling roulette > alliance roulette? Does main story roulette still exist after the changes to those dungeons, and is it worth doing in terms of rewards?

MSQ roulette still exists and puts out the same amount of EXP it did before for slightly shorter runs, so it's worthwhile. Depending on your level bracket, I'd also recommend doing Hunts. If you're level 80, doing all of the assigned Endwalker targets for the day is worth 50% of a level. That amount will decrease as you get closer to 90, down to about 33% of a level at level 89. Lower level brackets aren't quite as rewarding, but they're maybe still worth it depending on whether you have the uninterrupted time to run a non-roulette dungeon or not. The previous expansions' Hunts (except ARR, which gives none) start at 33% of a level at X0 and go down to about 23% at X9.

Every PF group is 2-3 mechanics from what they announce. I'd be tempted to join Ruby 6 prog groups but I still haven't got the hang of Devour, it's actually a bitchy mechanic for once.

Part of the PF problem is people underestimating how good everyone has to be at mechanics where a single mistake can wipe the party. Like if someone can do Devour 75% of the time they'll happpily join a post-devour party, but if everyone in the party performs at that level there's only a 10% chance of getting past Devour.

yeah, and to drive the point home even if everyone can execute a mechanic 90% of the time then any given pull you've got worse odds of getting thru unscathed than a coin flip (i think that's right, been a while since i learned all that probability poo poo) Oneiros fucked around with this message at 09:11 on Sep 14, 2022 |
