I mostly do trust/duty supports as the tank because it was much easier to drag them wall-to-wall, but once I got all the Warrior mount achievements I started trying to use the other tank jobs and discovered that 1) I really use bloodwhetting as a crutch and 2) Alphinaud sucks compared to the other trust healers, especially pre-sage.

Speaking of soloing can you solo normal Susano or do you run into the same problem as soloing Susano Ex?

Oh lord yes, little brother is for fun, Urianger is if you're serious and want to double pull while surviving Meanwhile as a healer, Thancred is an easier tank to duty with than G'raha.

You can pull that dungeon, including the triple group after the first boss, with pretty sloppy mitigation and he will not let you die

1stGear posted:I know "you pull you tank" is a bit outdated at this point, but that feels like a specific situation where its still applicable. here's the stupid part i took my hands off the keyboard in frustration after arguing about it and telling the guy to tank it himself and they did the next pull without me and without anybody dying i gave up and just quit out.

I think that 4-man content is where the battle system can really shine. All of my favorite mechanics so far would be basically impossible in 8-man raids, just due to how utterly chaotic they are in ways that are barely manageable with 4 people, let alone 8.

I would totally comm a dps that could pull off tanking a bardam pull. that's impressive I think my most shameful duty abandonment habit is during alliance roulettes right at the start if it's my 3-5th LOTA in a row. I'll also abandon a duty if people are being abusive to sprouts - "if you keep standing in stupid I'm going to stop raising you" is a thing I keep seeing healers parrot to first-timers for some reason after imo a reasonable # of deaths. I can't win in those situations because I'm like "yo chill tf out they are a sprout" and meanwhile the sprout is like "it's okay I deserve it, please don't fight mom and dad I don't even need to watch the cutscenes" a few weeks ago I had a trial or NR where OT forgot to turn their stance on so I ate the tank buster, I got raised into a knockback and died again, and then the worst part, the dancer unfriended me. that was one of my lowest moments, my finger hovered over the abandon button for a couple beats after the raise notification

if you say 'you pull it you tank' you probably need your diapers changed. if you wanna go slow in a story run there's trusts. if its roulette then do it fast unless someone asks. double pulls are what the dungeons are designed for mechanically. heres how you double pull if youre scared: 1) run at all the enemies 2) pop a defensive cooldown 3) hit the aoe button 4) if defensive cooldown runs out, return to 2 'you pull you tank' is just whining for no reason. if a dps pulls to me i thank them for saving me five seconds of effort.

bad dps (combined with honest healers) can make wall pulling stressful in the sense that you'll have to pop multiple big mitigation cooldowns in a singe pull but... outside of that there aren't many reasons to not pull big

I finally talked my wife into making a character and the process of making a new account on the PS5 is insane You can download the free trial client. This will not let you start the free trial. For that you need to install the Stormblood Free Trial, which isn't findable in the PS Store - if it is, I know I couldn't. You have to buy it separately through the PC store. The official website still points to the Heavensward Free Trial.

Outside of that either the tank can grab aggro easily back and the DPS sped up the pulls or the DPS can literally tank with Bloodbath and Second Wind so yeah.

i've been doing 10s pull timers in trails and raids when we've got ninjas and dancers and astrologians and i don't even know wtf else and the other tank almost always immediately pulls and after giving then several rotations worth of leeway i almost aways catch up/overtake them on agro anyway

Oneiros posted:there's definitely a big "i'm leading the party!" effect In this game I've always felt the opposite with me and my pals who also tank. It's the laziest job where you can be chill the most. Lowest execution rotation, most forgiving of getting mechanics wrong or outright ignoring them, quickest queue time etc. A tank is a lazy fat cat and im happy with that. Garfield rear end tanks. Its great that tanks can do a bit of cheeky goofing off even in the highest difficulty content and not get punished for it, and its a big reason I love to tank in this game. Really helped dispel any anxiety I had about the job.

Over the past half year that I've been playing this game I have not once encountered any toxicity. And I do roulettes a lot. Even when unreal/ex trials groups didn't go well people would just quietly leave or disband.

I feel like healer is where you get the real aggro leader style pressure goes. You do worse the more healing people need and you're constantly aware of how your party and the other healer is messing up because of it. I enjoy doing it too but its something I need to be prepared for, compared to tanking where I metaphorically can just roll out of bed and go.

Healer is my most chill job to zone out on, really. I grumble about tanks not using their free mitigation and dps prolonging things with terrible rotations, but I can slam any number of various tools to pump those bars back up and keep them on the tightrope with their vuln stack juggling acts and if they're just really determined to die anyway, I can just shrug and rez them. Or they can eat floor until my swiftcast is back, depending.

The Haukke Manor Hard boss has a DPS the adds or die phase but the problem is that a geared party can easily push the boss into the end of the phase in like 2 seconds causing a wipe. You have to coordinate with every party member to stop DPSing the boss because even a determinedly DPSing healer can wipe you.
