Humanities days are counted, whether it’s a century or a millennia more. The explanation rings hollow for me. I get that many might find the natural order horrific, including the writers most likely for making Meteion the big bad that way (as it seems for now), but that’s where I get pulled out of my immersion. It wasn't just "things die, how sad". Meteion found that even the beings that reached immortality decided that killing themselves was a better option than continuing to exist.

Zadnor's layout sucks (most fates are far apart and far from the teleports). Which leads to people exclusively sitting in the middle of zone 3 until a fate is up nearby and idling otherwise. Leveling in the Southern Front map can be a lot faster, especially if you bring a bunch of the Lodestone skill which instantly teleports you to the start.

There is a different marker for 'NPC has not been defeated yet' and 'NPC has been defeated, but still has a card you need'. You still get the first icon, if you already have the card. The problem is, that the icon does not show if the NPC wants you to do a quest first to unlock playing them.

Vermain posted:Speaking of spiritbonding, what's the best way to go about it for crafters? Do I just wanna quick synth a shitload of level 88 mats with a bunch of passive +spiritbond poo poo, or am I better off macro crafting level 90 non-master stuff? Yes, quicksynth. - Put 5 materia in each piece of gear, because those increase spiritbond gain by 20% each. Just grab what is cheap, you can put in Piety or whatever, as long as the slot is filled - Get all the buffs (potion, food, FC-buff / GC scroll (those two don't stack)) Now each quicksynth item will get you close to 1% spiritbond, so a full stack of 99 is almost enough to get you one set of materia.

So I was investigating why our WHM died on our first P2S clear (The answer: server ticks killed her, because she was the only one who got the tank LB3 after the damage was already locked in). But now I have another question: What are those other numbers?  As far as I can tell, U is unmitigated, M is mitigated, B is blocked and O is probably Overkill, but what does A mean?

Yeah, that's probably it. Everyone who got the first knockback arrows already used up their shields, so only the 4 other people still had shields left at that point.

Mr. Nice! posted:Congrats! P2S, in my opinion, is easier than P1S. But that might also be because we've had more practice on P2S since it took us longer to clear. My new static is in week two of playing together. We're on P3S now. Last night it took us some time to reclear P1S, but P2S we did in three to four wipes total. We did the same yesterday. Spent almost exactly an hour trying to reclear P1S, then did P2S on the second pull. Kyrosiris posted:
We just Tank LB3 that. The damage check isn't very tight if no one dies. We killed it at 9:46, and the enrage is at 10:30, so you really don't need the LB for damage in this fight.

Ytlaya posted:I also tried healing with a controller for the first time (with my Astrologian, which is my lowest level healing job at 42). Ended up having some close calls because it was Sastasha and the tank was extremely aggressive with huge pulls (being a super-early dungeon is ironically harder to heal in some ways, since I don't have any tools, though it would have still been easy if not for the huge pulls). For KB&M movement, I use pressing both left and right mouse button to move forward a lot (might need the legacy camera setting?). That's often enough to get you where you need to be, so you only need to use WASD for more precise movement. Tamba fucked around with this message at 13:15 on Jan 24, 2022 |

admanb posted:that wouldn't affect parse %. FFLogs doesn't need to know how much damage abilities do to calculate your DPS and compare it to everyone else.  It actually does, but only for DoTs. The game doesn't report back the damage for each individual dot, it only reports 'this tick, the boss took X damage from all dots together' and FFLogs does some math to assign that damage to individual players. That's how this happened: https://mobile.twitter.com/KihraOfTemerity/status/1484166023167287300 The new dot at the end of the Confiteor combo and Goring Blade can't stack, but FFlogs assumed they do, so Paladins who played wrong stole some of the dot DPS from their party members.

Ibblebibble posted:Fair, I had a lot of fun optimising my rotation for every mechanics combo personally but I can see how others wouldn't like it. WHM is probably the worst healer to play first, because it teaches you bad habits that you have to unlearn (Freecure, no OGCD heals before lvl 60 except for Benediction, which causes Elixir syndrome). And that's even if you actually read all your tooltips, which many people don't seem to do, so they think Cure 3 is a better Cure 2, and Mediaca 2 is something that you spam, instead of letting the heal tick  .

We always use our knockback immunity for Shift, even if there is no knockback this time. It helps with consistency, and water before the Shift is easy enough to do without immunity while keeping melee uptime.

Vermain posted:(Also, small addendum: depending on how psycho you are with your DPSing, you may want to preshield yourself along with the tank during pulls, since Kardia will unavoidably nab aggro before the tank has a chance to AoE if you're running alongside the pull putting out E.Dosis or Eukrasia.) And that's a good thing, because not only do you get an extra Toxikon cast (stronger than the regular AoE), it's also damage that does not go to the tank and does not need to be healed (if they get the mobs off you eventually)

Tekopo posted:I don't mind those tethers: the ones I'm specifically referring to are the boss tethers that target either a random or closest player, and that you can pick up by moving between the boss and the tethered player. They never felt good and people, especially in PFs, seem to switch off their brain if they get them. There have been more than a few times in P3S where I had to chase DPS down to grab a tether because they decided to run away, or (even worse), I can't pick them up at all because they decided to plant themselves right in the middle of the boss. The first half of P4S has those as well You solve it the same way you should have solved it in P3S: Everyone who does not want to have a tether stacks at a specified point, everyone who does want a tether stacks between the boss and those players, once you can see that there are no more tethers going to the "does not want tethers" group, the tether people can spread without taking tethers away from each other. e: Also, place the stack point on the flank/back line, because if you don't your melee players will ruin everything.

cheetah7071 posted:Pinax is the only mechanic my group is still struggling with, four weeks into reclears The way we do it, it's really only 4 patterns: - Lightning/Fire - Lightning/Poison - Water/Fire - Water/Poison If it's water first, do not use your knockback invuln (you lose one GCD at most, but probably none). Then, always run to where he jumps to, and always use the knockback invuln on the way there (even if it's not water third or cape). You already know which tile is unsafe (because it's the opposite of the first element), so don't be there. Poison last does not matter, you have forever to spread. Always doing the same thing made that mechanic a lot easier than having to think whether it was okay to use invuln or not / where to stand for sword or cape.
