how does anyone progress these raid tiers? half the people you get are fricking moronic and die to stupid ass shit constantly while doing less dps than a tank. if you join a clear party people dont even make it half way through the fight wihtout dying to some random mechanic
>half the people doing less dps than a tank
I've been doing full PF savage clears since Deltascape and this has never happened a single time. People might be bad mechanically at savage, but generally if they are willing to get into savage they are good enough to do their rotation somewhat competently.
You don't do savage
lmfao are you kidding me? how have you not seen a shitter brd or something doing 4k dps? happens all the time. you dont play savage
bullshit, seen WARs who didnt even know storms path was an ability.
seen RDMs who never use their oGCDs, and only wanna combo at max mana (usually wasting some as well)
and so forth.
im a very mediocre player, so when i see ppls threat being less than mine by half, theres a serious issue. (I dont have parsers on PS4, so i have to look at fflogs to see what people were doing wrong)
I constantly see shit like
>Sub 2k healers
>6k melee's/casters
>Ranged doing less than tanks
It's the main reason I've been hard stuck enrage p7s for this whole week. Sure, I can shit out 9.2k solo as a ninja, but if these fricks misalign battle litany/chain strategem/embolden one more time I'm gunna fricking lose it
When the hell do you use battle litany?
t. complete savagelet
you just bash it on cooldown like all the other 2 minute buffs
same as everything else in the game, you use it on cooldown for your 2min burst. there's no nuance to anything anymore.
I see, I always hold onto it because im used to vanilla WoW and its moron long cooldowns
only cooldown longer than two minutes in this game is on an instant full heal like whm's benediction or on a tank invuln, for DPS don't worry about it
FFXIV has the best boring raids ever. It's just the same thing as trials but with boring cutscenes between the fights.
>cutscenes between the fights.
?
Carby bouncing around the cage
not in real raids
Not him but
Considering only 5% of the playerbase do savage raids
Normal raids are the real one
doing normal modes isn't "raiding"
Its according to square
in japanese servers more than 20% clear all floors of savage (they dont show who attempt, only those who clear every floor, and they showed this when there was 8 floors, and it included the prior 4, not just the current 4)
and in 1 JP server, 40% of the players cleared all 8 floors. (it was one of the more populated servers)
its crazy how bad the clear rates are outside of japan.
Because japs suck at video games, a telegraphed trial and error game is what they consider hardcore and worm hard towards
You did the first fight -> blah blah dialogue -> cutscene -> dialogue -> unlocked the next fight
BORING
do savage moron. thats the only one that isnt do-once for the story shit
"Normal" mode is the story mode to give context to the savage raids.
There's not a single person in the entire world who wanted a depressed theater kid and his monochrome bird to be the ULTIMATE EVIL over Lavos.
p6s is the easiest. p7s requires the group and especially the healers to actually press their damage buttons which is a tall order for pf
the villains weren't the best but lavos doesn't belong in this game and literally anything would be better than it. frick off chrono Black person
I just wanted zenos do something, so much buildup for a far cry prank and moon cucking and then shonen bullshit
>lavosgay STILL seething after being btfo like the moron they are for autistically ranting that the sound would be lavos and that chrono trigger deserved relevance in current year
lol
It's week like 3 or 4 and i haven't cleared p5s. I think it's time for me to consider abandoning this static.
Yeah you probably should, sounds like those homosexuals suck.
I day twoed 5-7 in fricking Crystal PF.
It's still only week 2 anon.
Though not clearing P5S by that time is pretty worrying. What is your group stuck on?
How many hours per week
Then again, my guys got through within a lockout and a half
Black person a average static should have killed that shit in 2 lockouts max. leave these losers
i cleared p5 with a static full of grey parsing friends anon, you can do a lot for players like calling or reminding them to bait before spreading
why are you homosexuals so obsessed with speedrunning the only content their is lmao, it hasnt even been 2 weeks
>content their is lmao
>their is
>their
moron please stop typing. Enjoy doing P2S in like 5 months when you're more geared, though.
I literally cleared last tier and p5s already with my static, stay mad and hardstuck though pussy lmaoooooooooo
I'm not the person you were originally replying to, I cleared through doorboss enrage week one 🙂
take a shower you no life homosexual lmaoooooooooooooo
get option selected pussy
10 pre-scheduled hours total over the course of three days. I'd say git gud but you clearly have an unironic learning disability that's holding you back. Too bad you're holding your static back too with your slow learning. Congrats on week 2 p5s
morons please, the expansion came out like year ago. Why are u still subbed lmao
How fricking dumb are you?
1 and only 1 reason. To come here and brag in an anonymouses weeb forum. There's no other reason.
if it takes you more than an hour to figure out how to never die again on p5s then you’re just hopelessly bad
mistakes happen sure but if you’re consistently dying to devour or something just stop raiding, you’re a terrible teammate
anyone know if theres a plugin that lets you strafe on controller while on legacy mode? i know simple tweaks has it but it only works on keyboard
Do XIncels really?
Parts of that are true. All that skimpy clothing and kinky roleplaying shit ruins the comfiness of the game.
Yeah. The mod pack replacing all the shitty modern gear with assorted old stuff is legit a nice thing to have installed.
>"I-is that a n-naked thigh?? A... An exposed s-stomach?! AHHH I'M GOING INSANE! FFXI SAVE ME!"

>it's braindead with spriggan strat
yeah that part is easy it's knowing what snake i need to go to afterwards
Its definitely easier than phoenix but its still pretty difficult if you use PF as the litmus test to gauge it.
For me? From hardest to easiest it goes something like: P8S>P5S>P7S>P6S
I think P7S was definitely the hardest week 1 clear for PF (outside of P8S)
>(P5 that high)
This was my first raid tier, but I had to go out of town for work after clearing p5s. Ill be back around the end of October, do people still usually form statics that late or would I be stuck with bottom of the barrel PF for the rest of my clears?
Blue Mage update, when?
6.45, please look forward to it

WOTLK IS BACK
Getting a million gil feels like a milestone for me, but now I don't want to spend it.
Do your dalies (55k per day)
Use your Leves (60k per day potentially)
Do your weekly challenges (55k weekly + Extra)
Do Bunny Fates in Eureka (10k/25k/100k + whatever you can sell)
Do Custom Deliveries (13k-30k a week) to also earn scrips to buy items to sell
Do Tribes to get materials or dyes to sell on MB
Desynth Trial weapons for materials (varies)
Use tomes & GC seals for materials to sell on MB (varies)
Do hunts to get materia and sell them on patch week + use old hunt seals & BLU Hunt seals for aetheryte tickets so you save on teleporting
Use Wolf Marks for Dark Matter to repair your own gear
Level up a gatherer and get a treasure map per day to either sell or use. Also gather items to Aetherial Reduction for items.
Bicolor Gemstone Vouchers are a big money item on the MB for exclusive items.
Do Submarines for an eventual potential of 500k per day.
What leves are easiest
There's a potion one for ALC at level 86 that is the meta for most. Requires 4 items but is very easy to gather and make. Especially if you have a War/Magic Retainer to gather one of them.
Answers just flew over my house
>tfw you get kicked out of the static you created because you gave shit to the 'girl' that was constantly fricking up mechanics
I'm in a FC with half these morons as well... Send help
>FC static

lmao even
>fc static
First mistake, don’t raid where you live same reason you shouldn’t raid with a spouse
>getting kicked because you criticized gameplay
2nd mistake, don’t raid with people who can’t take constructive criticism. If you were just b***hing it’s on you though.
>If you were just b***hing it’s on you though.
The dumb c**t was intentionally ignoring callouts and kept fricking up on simple shit so I called them out on it. Mind you this b***h somehow has a Dragonsong's Reprise clear and yet they can't understand basic shit.
what this anon said
last time i was in an fc static the woman in the group was eating a fricking egg or some other shit for raid food when we'd explicitly say to buy actual raid food.
we didnt clear e1s until like week fricking 3 at which point i just started doing the tier through pf and up and left the static before we/they even cleared e2s
>the woman in the group was eating a fricking egg
Based femoid
Don't shit where you eat anon.
Are the ARR extreme horses random drops?
Yes. But seeing as majority of them are easily done solo it's fine.
No I was just wondering since I got two straight away and the others didn't drop shit
Yeah the drop rates are weird.
whats the point of ranged tax
>zero cast times
>highest mobility, can literally never stop moving if they want to
>ranged
Gee, I wonder why
melees have 2/3 of those things and being ranged hasn't mattered at all mechanically since they keep making hitboxes fricking huge so you can get melee uptime from the moon
Samurai has more cast times than Summoner :^)
All those points apply to melee now that we have boss hitboxes nearly bigger than the fricking arena.
>highest mobility
Bard has zero quick move buttons (repelling shot does not count), which are the only ones that matter
Ranged tax is pointless when every boss hitbox takes up 80% of the arena.
Love how giant P7/P8's targeting ring is for no reason.
They're all just massive for no reason. I have to yell and people to actually stand in the hitbox to catch shit like Sacred soil since it's exactly the same radius.
Genuinely irritating design.
best design ever. Frick healers btw
ranged and by some proxy war players have the added bonus of being the callout tax since they have all the free time to look around the arena for shit since they dont have to be close to the boss ever
the collective brainpower reduction role
I've been playing since 2015 and I've never even done a current EX trial
When is this game releasing on Xbox?
Sony & Microsoft are apparently butting heads about it due to chat communication policies.
Who knows. They wanted to bring the game to XBOX but covid plus EW release got in the way.
Sony would pay with blood to keep ffxiv
Sony didn't stop FF7R from leaving. Why would they care about a PS3 MMO not being console exclusive anymore
They can't even pay with blood to keep PS5 consoles in stores.
Black Mage and Samurai should always be the top dps no matter what. Both are 100% selfish and only contribute pure raw damage - Nothing else.
Phys Range players would probably complain less if they felt more useful. But nowadays every raid boss has a frickhuge hitbox that basicly covers the entire field so melee dps always keep uptime with no issue all while doing more damage than the ranged jobs.
That said: Most complains are just b***hing about minor percentages. More MCH would clear savage fights if statics would actually allow them to play. But you don't see that with parsegays wanting to be as meta as possible.
MCH should be doing more DPS than it does. It's not buffing the group's damage and c'mon it's a FRICKING GUN
I think it should do slightly more than BRD and DNC atleast. Not denying that its undertuned at the current stage. Just saying that people need to stop treating it like a cancer and avoid it at all cost. Someone who enjoys playing MCH will do more damage as a MCH than someone who gets forced to play BRD against his will all because the static believes in raw numberhomosexualy.
I fricking love MCH and I detest BRD who is button bloated to hell.
Let me have my gun please
>button bloated
Care to elaborate? The only bloat are the additions from the past two expansions
Apex arrow and Radiant Finale

I'm envious. Not having a static pretty much makes my desire to play FFXIV zero. I haven't played since the first patch of Shadowbringers.
>Not having a static full of friends whose leader is someone that does week 1 clears so he knows the balance between fun and shutting the frick up.
Sucks 2 b u
I play with some friends, they are not that good but I have fun with them. I do the actual prog on pf, halfway through p8s p1
reporting in
we only started this week and only running 5 hours in total and we just beat p6s in a bit under two hours
we're having fun with 5 of us blind (i'm only semi-blind, watched WF prog on and off) and two people who already did it. they hadn't explained cachexia 2 yet because we wanted to understand poly 5 first but after we got through poly 5 unscathed, i tank LB3'd cachexia 2 after remembering that from a video I watched, and we cleared on that pull. it was pretty funny, but we still dont know how to do it
it's not too hard to figure out, you just need to make sure you point your thing out. But most groups will probably just tank LB3 it like you did.
It's been fun
We're on p6s but next time I think we're going to clear
Buff SAM by 1%
Buff BLM by 6%
Buff MCH by 2%
Buff BRD by 1%
Then drop all damage done by every dps 3%
Congrats you just murdered RDM and SMN
Good
Good.
SMN is already basically just ranged dps and I'm tired of the former-ranged-dps shitters encroaching on BLM territory and then going "but 2 casters is still fine" when now they're making it compete with a 2nd melee.
They still have their place in shitter parties that die but will never know because they don't attribute the added DPS of a raised person being raised quicker to the SMN/RDM, so they'll always complain anyway.
Took me 3 weeks but i finally cleared barb EX bros.
She's super cute
>Twintails barb
How did i not think of this before
>barb with twintail
Holy frick I'm getting hard
congrats anon, did you get your weapon?
No but i'll just farm it. Hopefully the farm parties aren't as bad as the clear ones.
>Hopefully the farm parties aren't as bad as the clear ones
just join kill parties, you'll have a better time and you'll be helping out people who deserve it
Haven't cleared anything harder than Ex but for me, the best parties have been those that go "Kill into farm". Much less salt during the pre-kill part and people get excited after their first kill so they're still happy to go at it.
Won't jobs with party wide buffs get fricked DPS wise in the savage dungeons since we'll have parties of 4 instead of 8?
you get extra skills to make up for it
I really hope they give SGE a party wide buff for 7.0.
>Shit aDPS
>Shit rDPS
What's the point...
But sage is fine though. Its only noticeably behind in P8S for some reason.
BIG shields
>absolutely top-tier aesthetics
fair and balanced
It gets to start at level 70, and has some of the best mitigations around.
The recent Holos change means your party is basically fricking invincible for the next hit. It's pretty nice. I'm pretty sure sage can solo tank one of P6S's split party markers with a lucky crit.
I just wish they'd give us another way to get addersting charges.
And made it a DPS gain.
I know it would be too OP, but the way it works in PVP and also put a damage bonus on the enemy is so cool, I wish it worked like this in PVE too.
>Shit aDPS
This is not true. Dosis harder than Glare, their DoT has the highest overall potency, and they have toxicon, and phlegmaballs as free movement that also for some reason has an extra 100 potency on the latter. The only reason they parse so low is because people are hard casting heals way too often.
>rDPS
They would be absolutely fricking broke beyond belief with any kind of party buff, truly putting sch in the cuck shed. SCH at least has the benefit of Chain.
Now, AST on the other hand, has:
>Shit personal damage
>RNG based oGCD damage/heals
>Cards that need to be weaved to the right person at the right time
>Their fast-cast spell optimally cannot be used for movement
>lmao combust is so fricking bad it doesn't even tick on applying
It's sad because AST is the most fun and challenging to play, but even if played perfectly falls so far behind a sub optimal WHM or SGE
WHM can easily put Misery into party wide buff.
Outside of the opener, SGE has a hard timer putting 2 Phlegma III into buff.
Especially missing the super important 2 min and 6 min window.
SGE has a great kit and the best mitigation out of the 4 healers, a party buff might kill SCH

Does it get better once everyone moronic has been filtered by devour or no
no
for a static yes, for pf the dps check is extremely hard atm. even with a clean run
are the elevens complaining about job balance and the overtuned door boss?
MOUTH WEAK

If you used Sleepo you didn't clear the fight.

Boosted char. You also need to have a certain amount of playtime.
What then, have holy on one platform and aero on the other?
That was how mostly all the early groups cleared it.
>That webm
holy shit his elusive jump was only hampered by the weight of his wiener he had to drag behind him
Is there a name for the phenomena where second and third place in Frontlines will pile on each other instead of attacking first place?
Does this happen in Japan as well?
crab bucket mentality
People are just not looking at the scores, they just attack whatever happens to be near them.
It's called, "I'm just here for exp and tomes" syndrome
No one's doing call outs or they're not doing it right, so people are just zerging wherever they like. Just a few <se.1> macros to remind people who they should be fighting can do a lot. Get Enough of the group to shift targets and the rest will follow, assuming they know they're fighting the wrong team. This works about 75% of the time in my experience.
Because only one team can be second, and they'd prefer to go after the shit team than the good one. If they went up against first and got their shit stomped they'd be third, so they would prefer to definitively take second than relying on the other team to back them up.
Unless, of course, your team is in first, in which case the other two teams collaborate flawlessly to curbstomp you to third.
That's just bad leadership. If 2ndis going after 3rd, then no one's telling them otherwise. But there is also an issue of how far ahead 1st is. Unless 1st has a biggish lead, 2nd and 3rd may not see an issue with attacking each other if the opportunity arises. Part of Frontlines is trying to convince the other team that's not 1st to attack 1st and in order to do that, you gotta get your team to get off their back. Otherwise, 2nd and 3rd can just get so entangled that a spirit of revenge kicks in and they stop caring about winning the match. And even if 1st is really good, rare can a team hold of two alliances at the same time, because most teams, even if they're doing well, aren't looking behind them all that often and also don't retreat well.
You're assuming anyone actually looks at the scores and doesn't just randomly go after whatever happens to show up in front of them.
Which is a bold assumption.
Like I said. Bad leadership. Most people aren't looking at the score nor do they have their map open. They just follow the group. So, if you want a good chance at winning the match, someone has to be leading the group and that's normally through call outs in my experience.
Here, this is a close up of the points and map of that same webm. Only about 300 points separates 1st from 3rd and there's almost no difference between 2nd and 3rd. Yellow, 2nd, does the obvious thing and goes after the S rank, but if it keeps it from 1st, Blue, it might claim 1st itself. However, 3rd, Red, is slowly swooping in behind Yellow and grabs 2 A ranks in Yellow's base without them being aware. Then Red decides to frick Yellow in the ass, dropping Yellow 100 points into third while Red is now only 100 points behind 1st.
This illustrates my point that you don't wanna go after 1st as a priority if the points are all relatively close. Because Red was right in fricking Yellow. It helped them catch up to Blue. However, there were at least a few Yellow players that saw Red coming, but probably didn't say anything. That's why you need someone calling stuff out and letting people know an enemy team is coming to frick them.
Nice autism but I will still run towards the first guy I see, don't care about your war commander wannabe cuckoldry
That's within expectations.
I will go where the rest of the herd is going. Turning off your brain is a normal reaction of your body to queuing frontlines.
>8 hour maintenance for Patch 6.21 on Tuesday
What could that even be for?
The only thing I could think of is potency changes for some jobs.
lower the hp of door boss?
I can't even remember the last time they nerfed boss HP, Gordias maybe?
i dont think they have ever done that for savage. but this time there is a massive amount of screeching so who knows.
HP is not the problem, you just have to get a clean run which is nothing new, but it is too much to ask from pf with this boss in particular.
odds of rubicante being a dungeon boss with Amon's animations?
very low, barbariccia seemed to have a unique rig
Cagnazzo is going to be the dungeon boss with Rubicante as the trial right after in 6.3.
Shadow Dragon dungeon then Golbez Trial in 6.4.
Zemus/Zero dungeon 6.5, trial Zeromus.
0%. If they dungeon boss one of the two, it will 100% be Cagnazzo. Rubicante is far too iconic.
Trial will begin with Cagnazzo, at 50% HP he will explode into a massive flood that almost kills your party, then Rubicante will use healer LB4 to fully revive your team before joining the battle.
unironically kino.
Being on PS3 is really holding this game back
So many limitations because muh console
It hasn't been on PS3 since Stormblood, it's been PS4 and up since then.
My point still stands
If you can't do what you want to do on a PS4, you are not developing an MMO, you are developing a KMMO.
It doesn't, central point was refuted. Sorry bud.
I never really understood how devour is such a great filter for so many people.
It took me a couple of tries to get down, but it's really easy to intuitively dodge once you have the spacing down

Nope, only one free trial account can exist in the world, too late I already made it.
i mean per device
I never PF'd Phoenix. What did people struggle with on it in those groups? Shit was fine outside of being a healer.
Literally every mech someone would frick up at least once in any party. Add phase and the tethered adds would be most fricked up in PF I think.
>Mechanic happens
>you need to be together for light party stacks
>but also spread out
People not doing enough dps during add phase (either because they plain sucked or because they were holding cooldowns since the parsegay website decided that mandatory add damage wouldn't count in their metrics.)
People who fricked up Foutain of Fire by sniping the healers, themselves, or the rest of the team. Healers who couldn't heal themselves even with a 250% heal buff.
People not mitigating the initial hit of Flamestorms, or fricking up their positioning (the double invuln strat helped a lot there)
And of course, people who couldn't stack/spread.
>People not mitigating the initial hit of Flamestorms
I feel like mitigation rotation would be the hardest part of modern PFs given how much shit is from the DPS these days, and how PF DPS tend to be the most brainless players.
I just picture SCH & SGEs having to shield heal everything that a regular static only needs topped off HP for.
P7S this time around is more reliant on mitigation than healing, I feel like. There are heal checks during the Holy/Aero part, the raidwide-into-knock-up-into-the-air right before that, but there's a lot of time to just chill between hits for most of the other mechanics.
Flames of Asphodelos knockback breaks PF's mind
That was the knockback during the tornado AoE baits? How does PF frick up "Two stay near tornado, two spread" that bad after knowing which tornado to be knocked towards?
>capture point
>continue standing on point until enemy team comes over
>press my one AoE button on a 20 second CD to keep up appearances and die
>repeat for 15 minutes
I really hope none of you guys are aiming for frontline wins kek.
So is P8S1 the strict dps check, or is part 2 the insane one? Because just looking at the average for my static's terrible setup vs a pretty standard good meta one, somehow part 1's meta team is only 700rdps higher while part 2's is 1300rdps higher.
Closing 700rdps over average is easy, but man, if 1300's the harder dps check we're fricked.
Did you take into account the Phoenix buff? Part 1 is definitely harder dps-wise
There's a point where you get a 100% damage up buff (2x damage) for a solid minute or so of the fight (and raid buffs+pots can be up for that) so it's basically like doing your opener on crack again
miqo'te portrayed as housecats is the funniest shit
My old FC house had the wooden tower cat toy thing and our miqo'te used to all go sit on it.
p8s p1 is impossible
Alphinaud can't swim!
He's not getting an Ex mode, is he bros?
He'll get a unique fight when he returns next expansion
he's getting an ultimate bro
literally next ultimate
8.1 at earliest, probably 8.3
not any time soon
the next ultimate is either stormblood msq or stormblood raids
if it's the msq, it's inappropriate to include the primal trials in it. you would include yotsuyu, zenos, and shinryu at bare minimum. they'd need to invent something else to put in as a phase to make it meaty
stormblood raid ultimate is very easy to imagine. exdeath kefka omega 1 omega 2.
we know the next ultimate's intended release timing is 6.3, so december. a delay is likely though.
These chinks never break the order so it's 100% SB raid.
It's SB raids. There's already statuses for the next Ult in the client.
what kind of statuses are in?
A TEST OF YOUR REFLEXES
look forward to the end of days ultimate where he actually gets his wish to munch on zodiark and battle you to the death while the world explodes
Don't care about minstrel's headcanon.
who?
I feel you bro, I can't clear them either.
>zenos is gonna show up in 2 ultimates
he can't keep getting away with this
I dunno dont you ever feel like its not worth arguing about? people just get better at the game over time unless you pf like a tard? Its like people who still coom over e8s and cry all the time anyone says anything is harder. I just kinda get tired of it all, I like to think i just got better at the game the new shit is always hard and the old shit gets easier
>cleared P7S
>only one person died and one dmg down
>cleared well before enrage
>majority of the group parsed grey
Did every other group optimize this fight fricking hard, or did all the week-1 tier clear groups fudge the numbers with two weapon drops from the first week?
nono you can clear any fight in this game at any parse as long as the damage is consistent and you are not playing broken jobs. remember grey parse is mostly average but job balance is shit
Isn't the only thing that matters if you pressed all your buttons whenever you could?
>moron learns about kill time for the first time
It's likely you killed before third burst/pot window
No, it died shortly after our third pot window.
You cleared. That's all that matters.
>Did every other group optimize this fight fricking hard
The overall difference between parses is going to be very small when relatively few people have cleared the fights. You probably weren't too far behind all the groups at the stupid high percentiles.
forget about what is optimal.
What job is the most FUN?
gunbreaker
sage
black mage but i really like the new summoner
reaper, ninja, monk
machinist, dancer
Guys where the frick is female Hrothgar. No way will it be 7.0 that would be poop. Me thinks maybe it will be a part of the relic kinda how hrothgar were with save the queen just to shove em in.
>No way will it be 7.0 that would be poop.
It will be 7.0.
relic weapons didn't get introduced until 5.3 for shadowbringers
if femhroths appear it'll probably be male hroths with some code frickery on the back end like how yugiri was a miqo'te with a special hat and tail in 2.X, and fran in the ivalice raids is such a code mess of cobbled races that she doesn't have one listed in garland tools
Female hrothgar will be hunched over female roes with a lion head and tail.
anybody reasonable or who's paid attention to every other race added has a vague idea it's gonna be slimmer hrothgar with tiddies and no manes
as excited as i am for them i dont expect them to be unique Roes with lion heads but they are acting like they needa make a whole new skeleton.
probably i think unlike male hroth that was for an expac this is a bit more unique and just looking for an excuse to introduce it.
the first tier was in 5.25, you just got the first one for free from a quest chain and the rest took 30 seconds to get
I need to see these emergency potency changes now not on Tuesday I need to decide if I'm deleting my WAR and maining GUB now or not.
if this game is only good for the story, why wouldn't I just watch it all on youtube instead of paying a sub to read?
>still stuck on p5s
H e l p
make your own parties and start kickin homies who can't get past Devour after a couple tries
I was hoping from the French text leaks that hrothgar were gonna be gentlemen Keiji Maedas and be leonine humanoids with wild manes
This did not happen
>streamline the jobs
Is this really the solution?
guy's trippin', WAR needs a little bit more going on and DRK needs more cohesion to its moveset (chief among it not getting a core ability at fricking level 70) but i'm very happy with PLD and GNB
Raidgays seem crazy to me. If you want to do any content in the game that is not high end raiding - be it dungeons, Eureka, Bozja, PotD/HoH, soloing old raids etc, WAR is the best choice because of its insane survivability. For some reason a job like that also needs do the same damage as GNB/DRK or it's considered shit. What is even the issue of tank players swapping to a different tank for a fight with a high DPS check, with this job system and them sharing the same gear.
>WAR
>insane survivability
Apparently it's even better than RDM for getting Necromancer now since in EW it has the self healing at lvl 60.
Objectively true for any of the content he mentioned where WAR really is fantastic. WAR only has meh survivability in savage raids.
>WAR only has meh survivability in savage raids.
You mean the only content where it matters for the job to be balanced?
Its totally good in savage It takes so much stress of healers especially if your co tank is a DRK. I WAR'd this tier and it helps with the dots so much.
It's too bad damage is fricked since it's always fun to prog with WAR
yeah well once gear lvl's out it should be ok full crafted cant really do p8s door but i have a piece and 2 lunar and i think i can do it
That should be plenty, we have a war in our party and we almost beat the door boss. Fricking dancer is griefing us by standing in the wrong spots when they're the only ones that can freely move around.
Sure. But it's not the only content that people care about nor is it the only hard content out there.
>Sure. But it's not the only content that people care about
There's literally 0 balance for casual content because the game is so brain dead easy there that it doesn't need any attention to the jobs. You'll be a moron if you deny that.
>nor is it the only hard content out there.
Oh so WAR is actually bad for savage but good for ultimates. Please tell me how.
New savage dungeons and deep dungeons are going to come out, Anon. And you can bet your ass there's gonna be less people soloing the deep dungeon than anyone who did the ultimate. Just because they balance around savage doesn't make anything less meaningful.
Yeah, is it good in Baldesion Arsenal?
Every job is good for BA with the right logos. It's piss easy these days.

This is going to happen. All the self proclaimed raiders are going to get filtered.

>meanwhile every saint of the firmament was triple legend
I'm talking about the self proclaimed raiders that shit themselves over the other content this game offers, Anon. Actual raiders are doing a whole bunch and aren't shitting themselves over game balance.
Well duh, taking more damage has always been WAR's thing, they just heal it back up really efficiently. Thrill of battle doesn't reduce the damage you take, it just gives you temp hp. Holmgang doesn't reduce the damage you take, you just don't die.
I'm literally soloing treasure map dungeons on it.
Shit you can solo 80 zonureskin maps now?
People were soloing the 90 maps on WAR on expansion release. It's miserable though.
Yes but each incantation inside Oubliettes takes 50 minutes. You won't time out, but it'll a considerable time commitment.
>takes 50 minutes
*takes 10 minutes. Since there's up to 5 and the timer is 60 minutes, you have some wiggle room.
Anon let me tell you a secret. No one cares about casual content because it's so damn easy that you don't even need to be the best job or anything. If the fricking devs made the savage/ultimate fights need something else that's not gay ass damage to meet dps checks then maybe we can start balancing the game around not getting big damage numbers to play this shit.
I wonder how the balance in Criterion dungeons will turn out.
I think it's exaggerated, but a lot of people just thoroughly refuse to swap jobs. I raid with a static and over half of them do not budge from their favorite job even to one in the same role.
In those cases, it does kinda suck seeing someone hyped about reaper, machinist, and paladin having to perform better than like 80% of people playing their class to match someone in the same role only having to be as good as 50% of the people playing.

Dude, forget 'X mechanic' prog parties, I joined literal fricking FRESH PROG GROUPS and got to see enrage, meanwhile clear parties flub it halfway through the fricking fight.
Learning parties are 10000% better than clear parties for some reason. Guess it’s folks willing to stay and learn stuff
Clear parties are also filled with dipshits who aren't really ready to clear and are trying to get carried.

Great game design
I have conceded to zoomhacking, though I've only increased the FoV by about 10%. If some guy with an ultra widescreen can have a wider field of view, so can I.
>If some guy with an ultra widescreen can have a wider field of view, so can I.
This is the shit that bothers me.
How do you zoomhack?
Make resolution wide.
There's a pluggin that you can download if you're using XIVLauncher.
I wouldn't do it tbqh. I used to run Cactbot but it just takes away all the fun of the game. Either way if you're a shitter zoomhack will not make you better in any way. A dude while doing DSR in my static used it to see the eyes and where's thordan but he still mistake them a lot.
But get XIVLauncher and get NoClippy on it. You can thank me later.
I'll get no clippy on it, thanks for the suggestion.
Level 90 WAR with all its self-healing will probably be really strong for soloing the new deep dungeon, they might even buff its damage until then because of Savage. I hope using other jobs won't feel like handicapping yourself.
I'm going to attempt an AST solo because I hate myself.
I might try BLM. They should give PvE BLM that Aetherial Manipulation thing from PvP where you can target yourself with it and get Swiftcast so it's not a dead button when soloing. Though EW BLM already has enough instants.
I'm not going to bother soloing the deep dungeon until they fix disconnects forcing you restart from the beginning

If that ever happens to me i would just lose it completly. Is that really a thing?

I would be more open to caring about the 'imbalance' if the jobs that werent complaining about it (war/pld/ast/rdm//rpr/phys ranged) weren't consistently played by the biggest homosexuals in the game. instead im glad bad things are happening to you.
Why is it so bad that jobs have something unique? Why is every job now getting hammered into the 2 minute rotations? Why is the game balanced around raid troons and not around jobs being fun?
And no, first week clear imbalances are not a good reason to hammer all jobs to be the same.
It goes against the "any comp" idea. I think having some better combos is good, but because of the way the community is, getting a 100 DPS reward for pairing to complimentary jobs together will make it a rule in PF. When last tier came out both PLDs and MCHs got clears day 2, but because they were so out of line with the other jobs they were straight up getting blocked from PFs because Xenos or whoever was sperging. 14 players really love being told how to play and what to think
casual players don't even do rotations so it doesn't matter how the class is designed for them, only raidtrannies + japan has a much higher percent of the population of the server doing raids as was as other content while only the west has this second life vs poopsocker dicotomy so thats what they design the game for. in japan you can even que for a lot of this shit through the duty finder which is also why they're pushing more and more for fights that you can solve just by everyone knowing the mechaanics without too much setup before hand
even as late as shadowbringers jobs that didn't line up with buffs were second class citizens because they did less damage (important when enrage is the main thing that makes you fail fights, either directly or by making people get greedy) due to not syncing with buffs properly but the devs couldn't make their damage way higher because then that just does the exact opposite problem and makes it so that instead classes that sync with the non meta class is the new meta.
the way the fights are designed in this cinematic style where there's downtime and then time to hit the boss heavily encourages this kind of save and burst gameplay style, and if they made a bunch of jobs that worked on different timers all that would happen is people owuld go "ok for this specific fight we play ninja because it runs on a 1 minute and that lines up with the bosses timings, and for this one we all play dragoon" while all the other classes would be pissed because every time their shit is off cooldown the boss is invincible.
the only thing that's actually a problem is that they keep removing weird gimmicky moves either because casuals say its too hard to use (heavy thrust on dragoon, ogcd mudra on ninja) or because raidgays spam the move because its one extra damage cooldown instead of the inteded use (white mage players pushing shit arond with fluid aura or bards jumping to their deaths with rapelling shot)
setting up for a big burst ~is~ fun and the jobs previously worked the same way only you had timers that caused you to have a longer ramp up because a cutscene happened so you became way weaker before you got to do the big burst and you had more trap options that nobody who know what they were doing used and which don't actually do anything besides make you do or take more damage. giving someone extra damage against slashing isn't any more or less interesting then raising my own attack
Many of these issues were already solved by more complex raid design in the past.
Having TP and mana management meant fights could be endurance tests instead of a dps check, and downtime is actually a good little break for everyone to recover resources. Multibosses allows for multidotting or aoe checks. Splitting the party into 4/4 on two different bosses weakens burst buffs. Having unpredictable shuffle phases that mess with the timeline weakens 2 min comps and lets 90s jobs thrive.
Now we just have simple straightforward dps checks. All downtime is evil, full uptime for everyone, you WILL do the 2 minute raid buffs

Huh, I actually didn't know that. Pretty cool.
I've been hoarding my tomestones to avoid having to commit to one job but P8S at MINE in PF just isn't reasonable. Now I have to pick between SGE and DRK, I've cleared 5,6, and 7 as both with solid parses so it's really a question of do I trust PF healers or tanks less?
Both can and will get you fricked so theres nowhere to run.
I wish I could get back the 300 hours I dumped into this piece of shit
p3s is the best savage fight in endwalker so far since you have to actually think about positioning and melee uptime instead of just being given it for free
Farm parties for barbara EX are somehow worse than clear parties, holy shit.
Because clear parties usually have a friend or two helping, while good players never PF a farm. They have friends to farm with.

p8s bros I don't feel so good...
Near ruined my P6S reclear with that trash. Good thing I found a group I could convince to stick to the normal strat instead.
What happened to P6S? What strat did they change?
Cachexia 1 is the big one.
Some frick made a video with a wonky clockspot strat over the usual strat of timer based spots.
Clock one is better for statics. Timer layout is better for PF since there's zero flexing needed.
Yes, but the problem is that PF gays take his word as law regardless. And the exact same shit is happening right now with P8S, where once again there's a shitty flex strat from the same dude instead of the already existing priority system.
>Start Hegemone reclear
>PF lists 'hector cachexia'
>mfw
Usually indifferent to trying new strats as a PF rat, but why anyone would prefer clock cachexia is beyond me, especially considering people forget their clock spots all the time.
Unless it's changed since week 1 setups, the old duration setup had a lot more movement than was needed. I don't know if people adapted it since to be like the clock setup where those that need to bait just take a single step inwards.
After seeing his modified video, I'd say fair enough.
hector has a seperate video that is only about cachexia which does not use clock positions, my groups were referring to that one. it's a simple one
Same, I was like 'why the frick is everyone standing behind the boss with snake/wing and breathing into the boss?' since week1 we just did intercardinal pairs facing outside lol

i fricking hate healers so goddamn much. pugging as a dps has zero goddamn impact, healers are pretty much 90% of the reason you clear in party finder
Sounds like you got carried by your co-healer.

Wow, you're a real pro healer, how did you ever reach such heights?
Literally I said I was picking my nose. The point is a lazy unoptimized healer has magnitudes more impact than an optimized DPS as long as you do the healing part well
Thats why they can't make healers more engaging like some people want. Make them harder and suddenly they'll be dragging fricking everyone else down into the shit. This role has way too many casual mouthbreathers and w*men playing the jobs for some reason and i don't blame SE for constantly dumbing them down.
But healers USED to be more engaging. You used to put your girlfriend on bard, redmage or offtank, while the MEN played scholar.

Yeah, but then PFs sat with an open healer slot all evening and DPS queue times for DF were days long. Healing, unfortunately has to remain braindead just like tanking. That doesn't mean they can't make some fricking compromise though. If they made Toxicon oGCD that would be enough for me personally

Getting back into endgame stuff but I'm only hitting 3.6k dps on barbra as I'm spending a huge amount of time having to hit succor and hard rezzing. Checked logs and my chain strat was only contributing 100dps.

Buffs like chain and divination depend a lot on your party, theres not much you can do about it. Barbara is also a miserable fight as a healer if you got morons on your team dying to stupid shit.

You lead us around in circles again, you fat tailed idiot
They should disable sprint for unreals, it's very understated how much it trivializes some of those old fights.
Casters were free to sprint back in the day too though.
Yeah, at the cost of being otherwise completely immobile.
Nowadays casters can keep up with melee just fine thanks to a plethora of instacasts and movement skills that just didn't exist back then so that trade off is lost. They wouldn't be hurt by a disabled sprint.
You weren't *that* immobile since instant cast DoT durations were significantly shorter and you you could account for it fairly well. AST and SCH had access to Aero on top of their base kit too, which usually opened up a lot more opportunities to move around.
And after rejogging my memory, the only healer that actually had to keep Aero up was Scholar, who could always just Ruin II if they really wanted to move in a hurry. Aero was 200 potency and so was Malefic II, while Stone III was 210. Broil was 170.
It's not as though it wasn't there. Especially when learning fights, sometimes it'd be worth popping off even as melee.
I feel like modern players would be fricked if SE released a 2.0 vanilla server, complete with 300ms tic rate.
>What do you mean healers don't have 50 offgcd heals to keep tanks/party alive with?

Look up unsync guides, e4s and e8s are fairly easy since you skip most of the main mechanics. e12s will probably take one or two entire lockouts to clear with a first timer group

Yea his first p5s video was so bad, he makes mechs sound way more convoluted than that actually are
He's so desperate for views he started regurgitating other people's guides for P8S which he hasn't even cleared himself.
In fact, he hasn't even recleared P7S this week.
>every single strat he has for a major mechanic in a fight gets BTFO almost immediately
>PF still uses him
worse than Happy tbh
yeah that's why he puts out update videos with the new strats
that no one uses, I still see homies doing 2-4-2 for circle Devour and eating shit instead of just doing the braindead strat he put out a correction vid for
Devour is dumb since it's all personal dodging. Just use the method that suits you personally.
To be fair that's moreso the fault of the players than the guidemakers. You can't expect content creators to wrangle every moron on the planet, and he updates the descriptions on the original videos anyway. If YouTube annotations were still a thing then it'd be less of a hassle.
And this is something every guidemaker deals with since strats are always evolving. MrHappy's talked about being embarrassed over his faulty week 1 strats being the norm because he put out the guides early and better strats developed afterwards.
Sounds like you just don't want guidemakers to exist for this game at all.
>Sounds like you just don't want guidemakers to exist for this game at all.
well i hope you realize that means every fight becomes downright impossible in PF cause the brainlets don't have someone to tell them what to do but will still want clears
>Sounds like you just don't want guidemakers to exist for this game at all.
Most of the time I've made more prog in fights in completely blind pf groups than groups that follow these guide Black folk.
Because blind prog groups attract a different type of player who's more willing to learn and adapt.
Without guides existing, all the people who need them would also flock to your blind prog and frick it all up.
>I just love the sound of my own voice
I mean he's no worse in that regard than every other guidemaker, i'll take him over MrBrappy any day of the week

Endsinger was way less punishing for single deaths. In barb one idiot dying means another one is probably going to die and it can get even worse depending on where you are in the fight, like losing another 2 in playstation or losing a healer right before knuckle drum.

>can't map jump to X without making Triangle confirm in menus
This is the most moronic controller customization I've ever seen.
Will it be worth grinding relics once they are out in 6.25? They are usually glam but are they relevant while they are current content?
first relic isn't just a quest>cutscene>you get a shitty weapon?
they're usually BiS or pretty close to it while they're current content, then the final relic step is unquestionably BiS since you have total control over its substats
It'll be easier to farm the relic series while each part is released than trying to do it all at once when the full upgraded weapon is available. First 2 parts are going to be really easy anyway
I'm excited, ShB relics were all really good, from the artifact armor weapons to the final relic step. More than made up for Stormblood having phenomenal artifact weapons and then absolute horrid relics
WHY IS THIS TIER FULL OF BLOOD TANK BUSTER AND AOE ATTACKS
LET ME DPS IN PEACE PLEASE

i hate shitters who get carried by their friends and infect the farm party pool early
Now that Savage is out the good players have all moved on to do that, why would anyone outside of slowpokes or mount autists be doing the EX?
It's a game design problem, EX trials die within the first week.
I hate that patch frequency increased to 4 months, I just hope Omega ultimate is 6.3 and they don't delay it.
Go play other video games. Like Nioh 2.
People build their identity off XIV. The idea of playing something else terrifies them.
what would you do without any "hating XIV" to make your entire personality
Thats WoW my friend. Every FF player I know has some other game they also main and/or sub game they spend time on.
this game has literal cults around it though.
so much that people shill for free and made the trial a corporate "meme"
it has literal hate-cults around it too, there's one guy who was spamming the same anti-ffxiv thread here for ages.
that's not a cult, that's the voice of sanity.
cultists are usually very convinced of their objective reality yes
correction, it's the voice of insanity.
WoW players are addicted and don't know what else to do with their lives, but FFXIV players have a deep emotional dependency on the game that goes beyond a gambling maze into parasocial-cult territory.
WoW was my actual life from TBC through Wrath, i did nothing else and wanted to do nothing else. XIV really is just a sidegame, i come back for every big patch, clear some raids go through the story and go back to playing JRPGs, fighting games or whatever else i'm currently into
Going by that logic FF7 fans are cultists because they love the game. Man I really hate you single game playing WoWtards.
I actually wish we only get 1 ultimate per expansion
Are they going to fix PLD and WAR tomorrow or are they going to leave this issue to cause problems in Criterion?
Maintenance is killing my raid night this monday. What can I do in off time to help my gameplay or just get more experience? I'm playing RDM this tier so there's no point in practicing my rotation on a dummy. I guess going into PF and replaying P1S-P4S I guess? It kind of sucks to not know what to do to help others in the group and get better myself.
The current ex is decent training material. But yeah if you can hit up any previous savages that'll help too. Though I doubt there would be many groups for that now. You can study up on rotations and fight guides as well.
I don't know dudes, these other jobs are kind of gay, I'll just stick to bard
I've never done the warring triad series since I have a negative IQ and main RDM. Should I duty finder it, or suffer the greater indignity of party finder?
If you mean the normal mode, just do DF.
Every normal mode in this game is made for morons in mind, you literally can never go wrong
Aren't the extreme versions of three Heavensward trials required, at minimum, to progress the warring triad?
no, thats was never the case, ever. the game will never force you to do extremes OR savages. They aren't even canon to the story
Good god I'm even more moronic than I thought.
You're thinking of ARR where Titan/Garuda/Ifrit EX were requirements to get into Binding Coils. Note that Binding Coils is equivalent to Savage difficulty and they never repeated this model ever again.
I've leveled SCH almost entirely on weekly fates, main scenario and beast tribes, I've been to a dungeon twice.
If I hit 99 on healing on a SCH during my P5S clear, should i have a conversation with my other healer?
i consider p8s to be impossible to pf clear
It's so tiresome.
why is midnababy so sexy?
