Just push buttons, things will die. Anything more is needlessly sweaty.

Yeah but that's straight up wrong lmfao. If you stop pressing atonement at 8 seconds you're leaving a ton of damage on the table because you're overwriting all 3 atonements for no reason and also pushing damage out of burst (the actual correct answer is to not press atonement anymore at the 5 seconds mark so you can do a 12 and be primed for royal authority under fof). You're illustrating the exact point I was making, that it's irritating and unintuitive for the skill to break combo and force excessive timer tracking.

I think it's important to note that I said to finish whatever GCD you're about to do at ~8s (whether its an Atonement or not) because then you'll be doing 1-2 for 5s which lands you with an RA going into FoF. So like, exactly what you were saying. There's nothing particularly hard or excessive about glancing at your FoF cooldown.

In short, skill issue.

Yeah but then sometimes people keep dying after that and it's like I only have so much MP!!!

I did the new raid the night it came out which everyone was dying so it's fine but we had one healer in our group who just never stopped dying. I would Rez them and they'd instantly die to something else. I had a lot of mana problems that night. I think they got hit with literally every single mechanic

Personally I think most jobs in ffxiv could use MORE jank, not less. FF rotations are too sterile, force people to make awkward decisions about overcapping a resource Vs wasting procs Vs drifting CDs etc.

If you check your adventure plate, is it still right? There's a menu option if you right click in the portrait menu (someone remind me which one it is) that like copies over the portrait from your adventure plate. Insane UI bullshit from Square once again

Huh. Did an unsynced Thousand Maws for my WT book yesterday and at one point hit more targets, in a wider arc, than I was expecting with my Ogi Namikiri. I was spinning my character/switching targets at the time. Guess I wasn't mistaken after all.

I was frustrated by the new extreme trial at first, but by the time I got the TT card on my 16th clear I actually kind of love it. It's so chaotic; even having halfway mastered it I still occasionally completely lose track of what's going on with the rotating tracks, and I dunno, the vibe and wild music just make it feel a lot more hectic and consistently fun than other extremes have in a while. Still definitely done farming it for the moment, but I'm just liking the direction they've gone.

I've been maining RDM for so long that when I tried to gear up DRG as an alt I'm having trouble wrapping my brain around having strict rotations again

it made me revert to my DRK as an alt, which I had been avoiding due to tanxiety. Did I immediately cleave the entire party with Thunder 2 on the new unreal? Yes, yes I did.

I think the consensus of the math nerds is that dropping Atonements/adding hardcasted Holy Spirits is virtually identical to using all of your Atonements every time. As long as you are hitting FoF on time and hitting the appropriate buttons within FoF(Goring, Confiteor combo, OGCDs), it doesn't matter that you end up using ~suboptimal~ filler GCDs in your burst window.

If you use all your atonements every time you're going to start getting basic combo attacks in your burst phase, which should matter, or you're not getting 2 Holy Spirits any more.

Unless the extra potency of an Atonement every cycle makes up for the additional weak attacks using FoF I guess.

It's possible to put an item in the dresser, save it to a plate, and then remove it from the dresser to use. It'll stay on that plate, so it's helpful if you have multiple glamours that you want to use for one job.

I did that recently with a healer chestpiece. It's funny when you look at the item and it's glamoured by... itself.

Thanks for the tip about the counterintuitive feature. This will save me a good ten or fifteen spots in my glamour dresser taking out shop gear / poetics gear / job gear that I'm using in glams but can easily get with two clicks at an NPC vendor. Ten or fifteen more precious spots to store crap from dungeons and raids!

I don't really understand the math fully, but it is such that the looping rotations that drop Atonements are not recommended to be learned on the Balance, so I guess it must be pretty close in damage.

You're not using multiple devices, are you? I switch between desktop, laptop, and steam deck, and I noticed that the portrait data seems to be stored locally. I set the portraits up on my desktop, and on my steam deck they are default. You can upload character settings and download it on another device to get them synchronized. I did that on my laptop for other reasons without realizing it affected portraits too. I haven't downloaded the settings on steam deck recently since my UI settings there are so different to account for the tiny screen.

If you're only using one device, did anything else happen that would have cleared out your local data? If you uploaded your character settings any time after creating the portraits you could get them back that way.
