I get slapped by female characters so often that I should probably change my in-game name to Jack Sparrow.

As a SAM main I am occasionally annoyed by PF groups that explicitly exclude SAM as a job, but in fairness a whole lot of people who play the job are really bad at it. Lol at people who put together "ideal comp" PF groups for ex primals though, or even for O5S / O6S.

Anyone optimizing party finder any more than no duplicate jobs and maybe an even melee/ranged split is guaranteed to be a terrible player.

It reduces limit break generation by enough that in the dual-warrior group I was running Byakko in last night, we'd only just get 2 bars by the time we'd have to LB the second tiger's attack. We did the mechanic like functional humans and it wasn't a big deal, but a lot of groups need that LB3 strategy.

I managed to sucker some FC mates into coming to Seph Ex with me, and man, i didn't know how good it feels to NOT be the #2 damage dealer as the main tank for once. Sadly, it proved quite difficult to 6-man Sephirot as we quickly found out, especially since both tanks always seemed to get green. It splits the colors evenly with 3 green and 3 orange, but Da'at still goes out with 4 tethers, which means two people die guaranteed. With like 20% echo we managed to power through, but that's not quite farming level. We lost an FC mate and picked up some PF pubbies, and even then as a full 8 man team we ended up slower than the 6 man team.  At least they didn't gently caress up mechanics too often and we more or less regularly killed him.Still no bird, but i have hope again. I should probably get around to Byakko eventually instead of rehashing old content, but my last DF Byakko normal clear had the two tanks deal 41% of the group's total damage, which really doesn't inspire confidence.

The upcoming WAR nerfs have brought out the usual boilerplate from the peanut galleries; "Tanks aren't supposed to deal damage! You want to deal damage, be a DPS!" "Ever think about, I dunno, maybe staying in tank stance?" "The problem is with the [insert community here]'s obsession with fast killing and efficiency, and this is the devs trying to counter that!" Bullsh*t. All of it. Here's the truth; this game is made, by the devs, to encourage as much dps as possible. This is largely as a result of enrage timers and other dps checks. If you don't meet the dps check, you wipe, simple as that. And since we're not all uber gosu top .2% players of our classes, it means everyone has to pull their weight and a bit more. Every GCD not spent optimizing damage is a GCD that could mean Exdeath Meteor's your group instead of transitioning to Neo. So I say, let's get rid of enrage timers. Why do we even have them any more? Every single encounter in this game is already gated behind either a player level or an item level. Barring certain exceptional circumstances, if you don't have the ilvl or character level to enter a certain duty, then you just can't enter it. So if a person has the ability to enter an duty, why further restrict their ability to complete said duty by imposing another arbitrary hurdle to overcome? SE apparently doesn't want people using DPS meters because reasons, yet they build encounters in a game that implicitly encourage the kind of behavior they say they are against. Fine. Do you want to stop this kind of stuff SE? Then stop it with the enrage timers. Think about it. How great would it be for a close-knit group of average players, none of them top tier at their class, but all of them competent, to marathon their way through an encounter together. Maybe it takes them 60 minutes of straight fighting to clear OS4, but if they can do the mechanics then why impose the arbitrary hurdle of an enrage timer? By removing enrage timers, you can let tanks tank, healers heal, and dps can dps. The people who want to crush things ASAP with the best efficiency possible can still do so. That side of the game isn't changed. But for people who don't want to (or can't) do that, it would be another path to success that doesn't focus on insane dps optimization. Which, ostensibly, is what SE is trying to avoid. Remove the enrage timers and you remove a large part of the impetus behind everyone trying to push out as much dps as possible. Right now, there is no choice; you either dps hard enough to avoid enrage/clear the check or you wipe. If SE is serious about not wanting the dps speed/efficiency meta to reign supreme, then they need to remove dps checks and enrage timers and let players choose whether they want to run a sprint or a marathon.

I haven't done the math at all, I just assumed you'd get more damage from everyone beating on byakko and using the tank lb3 than using the dps lb3, and if you have to use the healer lb3 you're probably not getting it done before enrage anyway. Also mechanics are for cars.

Is there some PUG expectation on how heavily healers should prioritize raising DPS? I ask because I've been bitched out about it repeatedly and I don't know if, like, culturally speaking I am supposed to drop everything and hard-cast raise on some catgirl dragoon when there is one tank and two other DPS alive. Are you supposed to wipe it the moment a second person goes down? What is the deal here, or are dudes just dicks?

Yeah, tank LB all the while beating on Byakko should bring you way ahead. We couldn't do that in that group because of the dual warriors so we had to do it more the intended way. A bit of time beating on the tiger + dps LB 2 was more than sufficient so it wasn't terrible, and we still ended up way ahead of enrage.

If you can afford a hard cast res, a damage down dps that plays properly will make up the damage difference. If you have to keep people alive, saving people is more important than resses. If you can't afford a hard cast res, and swift is down, they can watch the fight. But dudes are just dicks so you'll never make everyone happy. Some first-time clear groups will wipe on an early death, if you're hitting enrage with too much HP to spare.

What is also frustrating to me is when it seems like I cast Raise, I'm within range of the guy, and it just vanishes into the aether. Does that mean the DPS declined it, was there some server fuckery? I've been using a rez macro in order to stop my colleagues from blowing their Swiftcasts.

Nessus posted:RDM gets priority over SMN because of Dualcast, right? Yeah, an RDM can get ressed, pop a res, and be at combat effectiveness minus their debuff. A summoner can pop up, swift res (if it's up), and have no pet and/or have hosed up aetherflow. Do you mean they lose the res buff, or never gain it in the first place? I have to be careful with my macro because it clips the swiftcast if I go too fast, and won't actually cast. If they otherwise gain/lose the buff, they could have declined it, but it takes a few seconds to decline.

HoooOOolly gently caress just got in under the wire and cleared O7S before the reset. It turns out the chief skill in pugging savages is finding a party who's willing to hang out with you for upwards of three hours. O8S looks like some bullshit.
