Shinjobi posted:How do I fight the red chocobo in bozja without reflect you don't. red chocobo is one of the few fights where if the stack-marked person dies, the stack marker invisibly travels to someone else. what will happen 100% of the time is that the stack-haver inevitably eats poo poo, then the stack marker invisibly travels to you, taking you out instantly if you don't pre-emptively slap on reflect

it's been a hot minute since I've been inside bozja but all of mechanics are manageable without reflect and a little bit of schmovement if it's low man go in as tank with bloodsucker and lost shell so you can take a stack marker solo and keep on truckin e: I guess you have to trust five other people to manage the towers

Badger of Basra posted:I think the example I saw was that the path over the disappearing floor from the last boss of Dohn Mheg is drawn in excel It's not quite that; one of the Shadowbringers blog posts or Fanfest dev tables talked about the development process for the expansion, and they gave an example where they'd used Excel to draw out the path for the art and programming teams to implement. It sounds goofy on its face, but it actually makes a lot of sense: Excel packages its spreadsheet functionality with a set of more than sufficient tools for word processing and drawing/graphing, so a design document (which necessarily is going to incorporate all three) benefits from using it, especially since literally everyone in the office is gonna have it, so you don't need to buy specialized licenses for something like Scrivener or whatever.

Yeah, like I mentioned it’s really common in Japanese business to prefer Excel for this over swapping between different applications. Everyone has it, everyone knows how to use it, why change?

It seems the issue is if the modded emote moves your position where the original emote or action would not. IE your character’s hit box is moved. This makes some sense to me because the server does have to update your position when you move and thus there would be a log of you moving but not pressing any buttons that should make you move. That said haha funny dance modded emotes over dance emotes should be fine.

Tamba posted:Yeah, I liked healing this tier I mostly liked healing this tier, but it depends on the fight. I still barely use GCD heals outside of P8S so it's not like it's very limiting, and it feels like doing good mitigation is nicely rewarded. P5S is great and probably my favorite tier intro fight, although the wall colors make it hard to read sometimes. P6S and P7S are a little dull outside of specific mechanics. I do really enjoy Inviolate Purgation from a healing standpoint; the Harvests not so much. P8S1 I actually like but it seems like it's a little too hard for a doorboss, or at least has a few too many "1 person died, mechanic is now impossible, please run into the wall" moments. My static is still on the last bit of P8S2 which has been fun, but I think it likewise has a few too many points where any death is a wipe. In general, I prefer when you can limp through mechanics and wipe to enrage later. It's more varied and as a healer it lets me get a better feel for how to structure healing for the entire fight. If you're going to do strict no-fuckups-allowed filter mechanics, do the light rampant thing and put them very early in the fight. Re: bleeds on everything, I think that's is a delayed response to adding Panhaima and Liturgy of the Bell. "Well gee, we have these abilities that need multihit raidwides and people complained that they didn't feel useful last tier (even though they absolutely were, the extra potency from multihits really isn't that big of a deal). Guess we better add some multihits to everything everywhere." I quite enjoy it, but my static does run Sage & White Mage ... although on P8S2 in particular I think we use most of them for Natural Alignments instead. E: One thing I really like is that they're doing untargetable just-dodge phases with lots of damage. That might be Sage bias: it's very gratifying to run around and toss shields willy-nilly without feeling like you're losing out on anything, and coming out with a full Addersting gauge. Possibly DPS jobs and healers with cast times on their heals will disagree. Xerophyte fucked around with this message at 21:35 on Feb 13, 2023 |

i feel the bleeds are less there to address panhaima and lilybell feeling underwhelming, and more to counterbalance the playerbase's tendency to go "eh let's just invuln this tankbuster", which honestly, i kinda appreciate? a one-size-fits-all solution to tankbusters is a bit boring that said you could really tell a lot of tanks didn't know what to do now that you can't just invuln through most tankbusters this tier. a lot of warriors and dark knights would just hit their invuln, no other mits, and then expect you to deal a raw dot plus surprisingly meaty autos, then have the audacity to get pissy when they drop dead because the first dot tick+auto after their invuln ends does 60% of their hp bar and i only had time to heal 59% after the last tick+auto got them back down to nothing Xerophyte posted:E: One thing I really like is that they're doing untargetable just-dodge phases with lots of damage.

I also did it as Sage and yeah, being able to just use Toxikon for every part where you need to move is nice: Use them all for Natural Alignment 1, recharge during High Concept 1, use 1-2 for Desolation and the last one to get into position for NA2 (minimal movement necessary for that, you can slidecast all of it), then recharge them all again during HC2 for the Dominions at the end. And even with all that, xivanalysis was yelling at me for wasting Toxikon charges because I gained more than that.

Really adds to the extra planning you do as sage healing to make you feel like an absolute genius when you really nail your whole kit to the wall. I can't get rid of them fast enough on things like p7s purgation, lol

Xivanalysis isn't bad for healers, exactly, but the emphasis it puts on number of uses isn't great. I get that programmatically checking whether I can move my Holos usage in such a way that the WHM can drop a Medica 2 cast from the fight is much harder than programmatically checking that I only cast Holos 2 times in a 6 minute fight. Just checking use count without considering value at all is almost entirely useless though, outside of major fuckups like if I was not using some mitigation type at all.

I can't get rid of them fast enough on things like p7s purgation, lol The real trick to Purgation is planning out your oGCDs well enough that you don't have to cast E. Diagnosis much if at all. I admit I usually GCD shield once, on the 2nd Spark of Life, but I could definitely drop that too with better coordination. Also, it is important that you Icarus into the stack aoe as late as possible, to maximize style points. Planning Toxikon use in P7S is pretty difficult, at least for me. It's a lot of movement for a fight where I only get 4 of them, plus at least with my spell speed I want instants before the two knock-ups.

The first step of using xivanalysis is learning to ignore most of it and just focus on bits you're trying to improve anyway. For example on my bard I used to get confused which of my abilities were oGCD and which weren't so my weaving was sloppy, and the site's metric for that gave me a number to go off of when cleaning all that up.

Yeah, I don't pay much attention to the number of uses complaints there (if you don't need that cooldown then you don't use it. No need to waste it just to get that number up, especially if using it would block a better use later in the fight), but it is okay to find other places where you could improve. You can get the same information out of FFLogs directly, but xivanalysis is easier to read for most of it.

 I realized a couple days ago that the Valentione shoes would be a decent option for my gimmick alt. Turns out you need to have done Sastasha first, so I started running him up through the MSQ, which was a tiny bit rough since he was still in the Gridania introductory section. Once I got to Ul'Dah, of course I needed to get to the Gold Saucer and get the afro, then I needed to unlock the aesthetician, which I did while queueing for Sastasha. But now I have the outfit and the emote, and I can go back to ignoring this alt until I realize another seasonal outfit will make for good Bobo-bo cosplay material.

Savage prog report: cleared P6S tonight and got to the complicated part of P7S (Purgation) with half of us blind because we didn't expect to get there for a while. I really like how P6S looks when everybody knows what they're doing. The head/tail Chorus Ixou and Cachexia 1 just flow.

If I put in an FC bid but can't come pick it up, come what may, until next Monday... is that any risk of losing either money or, inshallah I win, the plot itself? The drawing is apparently the 16th.

You get 90 days after bidding on a plot to get your deposit back whether you win or lose it and don't finalize buying the plot. If your FC is coordinating bidding on multiple plots and someone else in the FC buys remember to get your deposit back eventually for your FC, however there is a 50% cancellation fee for the return of the deposit for any house bid on that is a win that is abandoned, and a 100% deposit return if you didn't win.

I believe the results period ends on daily reset on the 20th (check your timezones, it's exactly 4 days after the time it tells you the bidding period ends). If you don't claim the house by then you're not getting it.
