 I love the animations for BLU spells, just dive to the ground as the lasers fire overhead. Apokalypsis also looks like a great dps spell if you use Moon Flute, it keeps channeling during the waning phase like Phantom Flurry does.

Yeah timed nodes are annoying, yes they cycle on like an hourly basis but you have to wait or do something you can easily drop while they're down.

Made it up to Chimeric Succession on P9s, one party member is insisting on a strat that feels weird to me and I'd like people's input. I don't know if it has a name (aside from "braindead" but everything gets called that and I don't think this is. https://raidplan.io/plan/1Wl9EEj8wq7ceryU The general PF strat for my server is Y-strat, for comparison. This one feels like those places people need to stand are very tight and failure-prone, and close off space for the firestrike group in the south. But I haven't seen it successfully done yet (this week was our first time past meteors and martialist/dualcast, we made it here once before people had to go) so maybe that's not the case. The reason given for this one was "ranged don't have to move" so it's setting off cursed Uptime Strat alarms for me.

Yeah the 4 furthest out from the boss get the numbers, so we do all the ranged inside the hitbox while all the melees are at max melee. This is kinda moot since we started skipping P9S though, none of us need anything from it anymore.

Then we do 1 + 3 left, 2 + 4 right (north facing south), swap after the first aoe on your side pops. Melee gets the numbers and stays north when number isn't active so that they can keep uptime/MT doesn't have to do weird poo poo.

Arist posted:My group always did Y-strat and the one you posted seems... weird. It is caster uptime if ranged don't have to move, to be fair. Also theoretically melee uptime since when the boss jumps on them they're not off at the top waiting for their defamations to happen.

Arist posted:I mean, we're ranged. Being able to move freely or near-freely is half the reason to play that role. Physical ranged, sure, but healers and (some) casters are the most movement limited roles so a strat where they all stand still is usually desirable. In this case I'm not sure it's worthwhile. The range on the defamation-type ice aoes is big, to the point where people get clipped standing a quarter circle apart if they're sloppy. The proposal is doing that even tighter, using a fifth of a circle. You don't have have handy arena floor markers for forming a pentagon like that. The positioning requirement is tighter, while people's ability to execute the positioning will be worse. That's not a great combination. E: to be clear, the positioning is so tight that I'm mildly surprised it's possible. Neighbors in a pentagon are 1.17 arena radiuses apart if they're perfectly spaced on the edge, and the aoe size is at least 1 arena radius. That's really not a lot of slop. I practically guarantee that 2-6 people will die from being clipped by a neighbor on your first few attempts until you get the waymarks and offsets dialed in. The melee clump will be especially boxed in and need to do their entire bait and turn dance at the very edge of the arena. Also, if done exactly as written it places the two dps out of range after he jumps, instead of placing healers out of range as with most swap strats. That's easily fixed, but seems somewhat poorly thought out. The numbers bait is quite specific: furthest player always gets 1, second furthest always gets 2, and so on. We do swaps and try to preposition in an X such that 1 and 3 are on the left and 2 and 4 on the right, with melee and tanks clumped in the center of his hitbox. When swapping it doesn't really matter where 3&4 do their baits, in an X or Y or whatever, as long as they get their number and are just outside of the 1&2 aoe's range when they go boom.

It turns out Nixie is kind of rough to solo on blu (immune to Missile, has a repeated "use Diamondback or die" attack to stress your mp). And then I didn't even get the spell. That'll teach me to look at PF and say I'll just do it myself rather than create my own PF for it.

Being Mortal is just easier to do, especially if you're going to use it multiple times in a fight. Magil Zeal fucked around with this message at 15:56 on Jul 21, 2023 |

That seems overblown, both of those starts seem very easy and it’s be worrying if you couldn’t execute either of them.

most instance spells (outside of the ones required by the job quests) aren't guaranteed if you go in unsynced

For Nixie in particular there'd be no reason to go in unsynced, since it's a dungeon that presumably matches the endgame ShB gear level, but you probably still need to turn on the Level Sync checkmark to get the guarantee. I was hoping that was the only issue, not that there was some way of doing the fight without seeing the spell that one could luck into.

Though if I'd used it the difference in ilvl probably would have been enough for me to lose on the pass I killed Nixie, it was a squeaker. I don't think it's possible to actually miss the cast unless you go in with three unsynched level 90s and even then I'm not sure they could burst hard enough to skip.

pretty sure it's literally just missing the level sync option under unrestricted party, making you effectively level-synced anyway but without the benefit of a 100% learn rate edit: by not item level synced i mean it always puts you at the max 530 of shadowbringers if you're regular level synced

Thundarr posted:Yeah I was using it. I did all the dungeons this patch using healer mimickry, with Pom Cure and Gobskin to keep myself healthy. I only had to use Diamonback for the final boss of The Heroes Gauntlet, everything else I just kept myself at full HP and put up Gobskin before a buster or stack went off. There's no point where outgoing damage can outpace your ability to heal yourself (especially with Angel's Snack if you're in a pinch) so if you're dying it's likely because you're being too aggressive. I definitely got myself killed several times because I was casting damage spells instead of slowing down and healing/shielding up, but if you just wait it out, you shouldn't be in real danger anywhere.
