The plugin will break with Dawntrail along with all other plugins and then it will be fixed

I've only done that boss twice and tbh I find the way the math is presented is what makes it difficult, not the math itself

For those who don't want to have to dig through all 5 hours and 10 mins. of the LPL, someone has uploaded the segments of Yoshi-P playing and showing off Viper and Pictomancer.

They actually need a counter because you can get more than 1.

I've completed every savage this expansion, all three criterions, and most of DSR. Over the course of this, I have repeatedly demonstrated I can barely count to four. Sometimes even two is iffy. Six would be right out.

Sorry if that was unclear, I didn't mean it was more than 1 for a Fire 4 cast, I was trying to draw attention to the gauge filling up. Hypothetically you could mix Fire 4 and Flare casts and you'd be at 3 and 1 casts instead of just 6 or 2.

Gamers trying to gatekeep content? Why I never.

As a BLM enjoyer I like the countybar because visual feedback is a feelgood :shrug:

The more bright colours flashing on screen the better.

I think it�s a good gauge. Yeah it�s just counting to 6 but considering god knows what can happen between the first few and the last, it�s nice to have the reminder.

Did they say what the big fireball was called? I�m hoping Meltdown, because I dig Meltdown.

I'd bet Meltdown/Merton if it isn't something original.

Though it'd be funny if it ended up being Doomsday/Jihad.

Ferrinus: Jun 19, 2003; i'm finding this quite easy, i guess in part because i'm a fast type but also because i have a coherent mental model of the world

The six leaf fireball counter should be an attachment that makes the core BLM gauge even more baroque and overwrought. Also they disable simple mode.

you could probably resize the hud elements in a way to put a small fire counter in the center of the main blm widget. something like this

Man the more I think about it the more I wanna break into the new Ninja. I wonder if Trick Attack upgrades into that big AoE in the trailer after Huton. I wonder if Raiju got taken out. I wonder what the gently caress the Kunai meter is for or if it literally just powers up Aeolian Edge. I WANT IT
