I remember getting one shot to a King's Will'd Iron Justice crit from one of the dullahans in there back when I farmed it. Shoulda used more cooldowns on trash.

Galaga Galaxian posted:Yeah I tried fractal and struggled against the first midboss, Neverreap is a lot easier. The last chest before the final boss has a chance to have a weapon in it. That's the only other chest in the dungeon that they've kept sticking a potential weapon in aside from the final boss's.

See, here's a prime example of what I mentioned awhile back. Accurate view of a problem: low level dungeons aren't that fun because they take awhile to do and we're missing really neat abilities. Proposed solution to that problem: A crazy technical and convoluted balancing method that actively punishes you for going into low level dungeons by making your really neat abilities hit like a wet fart in order for actual new people to have any chance at experiencing it.

Fister Roboto posted:Personally, as a big dense idiot, I get really angry when other people try to do my job. I had a tank like this in Haukke manner the other day when I was getting DRG over the 60-61 hump. Was annoyed enough to say something at my pulling and handling of the succubus patrollers despite my being able to deal with them while taking no/negligible damage. I shrugged and let it slide. Then did it again because the first one in the basement came up behind us and would have inconvenienced the healer for a moment if I hadn't obliterated it in the same amount of time. I like to hope that the message got across to that tank... Or alternatively they didn't notice. That's my LLDR story of the day

Some bosses laugh at ranged who don't stack up because they have huge conal aoe's that would be way more dodgable if they were up close. Other bosses support the feeling of separation by having per-player AoE's that stack (Bardam's Mettle's final boss is kinda crazy with 2 Melee dps for example.) And then some bosses don't care where you stand and just hit you with instants/roomwide AoE's. Good ranged who are experienced with the content will know what to do and where to stand with all of these bosses. Bad ranged do the same thing all the time and get hit for it.

TheRagamuffin posted:As a newbie tank, I'm finding the biggest thing that trips me up is knowing what mobs In about to lose threat lead on. I kinda wish there were separate aggro icons for "you have a decent threat lead" versus "you have a tenuous threat lead". How do better tanks keep track of this? Do I just need to get used to reading the A/2/3/4/etc markers at a glance? Is there any way that doesn't involve just cycling through every mob? In your standard pull of 3-5 mobs it's easy enough to check enmity levels via cycling through every mob (at least on KB+M.) Another trick is using the health bars to tell you what people are targeting as their primary. More damage = More enmity thus things that are dying fast tend to need your attention more. If it's a huge trash pack, either intended or of your own making, just overpower/flash/unleash or abyssal drain as needed.

Being able to have elements be freely moved about, turned on/off as needed and some elements resized to suit individuals taste is like, 95% of what I want out of customizing a UI. Some better conveying of information (enmity stuff) is pretty much the main thing holding it back from being perfect. And that was before they added the class bars!

The only issue with being so killy is if the third team knows what they're doing and sandwiches your team to kill you while you're killing. Alas, that tactic is rather rare.

Fister Roboto posted:I guarantee you that it wasn't, didn't, and didn't. There was nothing interesting about it. Basically every job had 3-5 CC abilities that were marginally useful and the rest weren't even worth considering. Some jobs had mandatory or nearly mandatory CC abilities, like provoke or swiftcast. All this did was make it so that to spend time on a different job instead, which meant zero progress towards leveling your main class and the MSQ. Ask all the monks and bards who had to grind out LNC 34 to get Blood for Blood how rewarding it was. It was pretty rewarding But that's because I got to learn LNC/DRG and pick up a perk along the way. For people who aren't at all jazzed at leveling multiple classes it was a rather annoying gate to full power. Also when you run out of quests in the low and high 40's range in Coerthas and start getting blocked by MSQ's that's intentional. In keeping with the 'we're giving you an extended tutorial on Themepark MMO's' those sections are pretty much forcing you to learn to get XP from a non-quest source so you know what to do for alt classes and such.

There are things I don't like about the SB story. They do not outweigh the things I like about the SB story. I've read a lot of stories and the only thing that SB gets wrong is that there's a bit of confusion about us fighting two liberations when in terms of story structure we really only fight one (and help with the other.) That's still a great two for one deal on liberations though

In related Omega shenanigans, tonight I met a lalafell racist in O3. Refused to resurrect our BLM when he died to a Holy Spellblade fiasco in favor of using Rescue on CD to annoy one of our SAM (also Lalafell.) Said BLM remained dead until getting ressed by the other healer at a wrong time (Queen's Waltz post Golden Dragon spawn) and was dead until the breather after the sand pit. That's a little under half the fight dead mostly because he didn't get a Res tossed his way. Also said Rescue shenanigans for the SAM included being pulled into AND out of Ribbit in time for him to be hit by it and get screwed over via mechanics. That was a surprising and awkward amount of timing and dedication they committed to an Anti-Lalafell stance

The thing is that it worked pretty well except in Coil and Titan Ex. Warriors could solo boss fates no problem because between wrath stacks, 300% heal and bloodbath anything that didn't kill them in 1-2 hits would just get healed away. See above where things started to kill them in 1-2 hits.
