    Hmm might do more dmg at 72 when you can freeze from 0MP and don't have to wait for the tick. Mind you good players on other classes will do similar damage too, my MNK can pull pretty similar numbers to my BLM after the changes, but BLM is just pretty easy to do, and has huge burst so you can...

    Aoe at 68+ is really easy. The simple version is, at 5+ mobs, you Freeze > T4/Foul > Flare > Flare repeat. At less than 5, do a Fire III before the Flares. Triple cast Flares, use the cooldown to get mp back for a 3rd flare with that, use Sharpcast on T4(especially during the pulling, I usually...

    You generally want to keep thunder for the ice phase if it eats an additional fire cast but not sure how that lines up at lower levels. Yeah that's about it, make sure to do your job quest to get Flare too for aoe, at the end of your mp bar, use flare then transpose > bliz III. Later you'll just...

    Monster Hunter: World

    Kinda anything works for Laviasoth but yeah the big fireballs are a one shot, unless you block them(weapon dependant obv). Ranged weapons don't have to deal with bouncing though, if melee you kinda want either a fire weapon(low damage but heats him up so you can ignore the bounce) or use slinger...

    Some real life twitch tv personality guy I think, or podcast guy or whatever. Apparently started playing dota so people party with him for some free viewers and shit.

    You can buy it immediately or you can start the long process of clearing the post ARR quest before HW, the xp for these isn't great so you wouldn't be wasting too much, but it might save you some grinding down the road. If you're not strapped for money and your sub isn't running out with no...

    There should be an All section? I just have the timer to pick up a new fight so high dungeons are just one big parse anyway, due to boss taking 25mins breaks during cool cutscenes. If you don't have that, there's an option you didn't tick/unticked, Options > Misc > Populate an "All" section bla...

    Only valuable stuff is in the floors people don't do for lvling, like 100+ for potd, but it's very lucrative if you do, however you kinda want a static party for that, unless you're going for the solo achievements challenges then you'll get gear but that should be seen more as a side reward for...

    AT Teostra was one of the more annoying ones I remember, because of all the goddamn fire and shit and how he'll sometimes go into fuckface mode where he just spams his quick swipe, which is considered a "light" attack so it also goes right through temporal. Lunastra has the same kind of shit but...

    Yeah you can cap faster doing hunts, that said you can cap lazily by just doing expert like 5times or whatever(so once a day for 5 days). That's generally what I do since I haven't bothered hunting.

    Checked prices and they did go down but it's still 70k for VIIIs and 20k for VIIs, so that leveling roulette is still 110k a run, a fair amount for ~20mins of doing shit dungeons. Can go much faster doing hunts though. Obviously, server specific but still good money.
  13. Pyros

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I meant combat materias since I was talking about the roulette. These seems to still sell decently well on my server(crit VIII was still around 100k when I checked a few days ago). It's not super good but it's fairly consistent and easy money you can get without any investment if you play a tank...

    Gamma armor is from Arch Tempered, basically some mats+1 ticket that drops on AT kills per piece, sometimes you get more than 1 ticket per kill but since you also need some tickets for the layered armor stuff from them, you should be looking at 5-6kills of each AT monster to get all your...

    Maps are good if you don't want to do the whole gathering/crafting. They tend to lose value as the patches go but start strong(still are pretty good atm). Farming materias is also good early on, again loses value over time and unlike maps which get new stuff every few patches, materias go to the...

    There is a really long video somewhere of someone showing their progress on a blank new character(using story progress skip to unlock stuff) when lvling crafters only, and making like 20m in the process of hitting 70(was done during SB). Basically does daillies, beast tribes, crafts stuff that...

    Take Two isn't making BL3 either. They're not devs, they're protecting their IPs regardless of potential consequences, the same way Zenimax sues motherfuckers for whatever stupid shit they find that day. If you want to be consistent about that stance you better not buy any Rockstar, WWE/NBA 2K...

    I think it's better to delay it if you fucked up alignement, to get it back into the IR window, rather than just use it out. If you see IR coming up in ~15secs and upheaval is up, hold it. Obviously better to keep it aligned. And if you're missing Fel cleaves in IR windows that's a big loss...

    Supposedly the laviasioth event next week(for PC, I think it's already up for PS4) is better than greatest jagras for decos. Jagras drops like 20 decos though, it's just annoying having to pick them up mid fight. You also still get a free attack deco for logging in atm, not sure how long but...

    DOTA 2

    They announced the talents for TI, Grandgrant and BSJ made it. I doubt they'll cast too much of the main stage, but the group stage gonna be lit as long as Grandgrant doesn't go too serious because it's TI(obviously not James level but a middle ground). Also seems Valve remembered they had a...

    Here's my UI and keybinds, turned on the empty hotbar buttons to show all the keybinds I have even though I don't use all of them(used to on SCH/PLD in SB but they trimmed a fair bit in ShB) Some explanations too on some keys, I use an AZERTY keyboard(french layout) so A = Q and W = Z, also < is...

    Yeah if you have starting money it's a lot easier, but if you don't, then it will be a huge limiter. It's been so long since I cared about them though I forgot about it. I'd definitely recommend buying them, and selling shit to pay for them. If you mass craft ingots or whatever else, you can...

    Vermintide 2

    The current game(or well before the patch) was a bit too "action-y" for what they wanted, good players could basically dodge around everything and mow down even the highest difficulty shit(as in, modded difficulty) solo and what not, and they thought they'd curb that, while at the same time...

    I don't think she did, hell I can't even understand what she mumbling about anyway. Does sound like it though and other streamers got banned for saying stuff that SOUNDED like it even though it wasn't, but eh, tits shielding techniques.

    Desynth is hot garbage, glad I didn't spend money on leveling my desynth alchemy. This expansion. Pretty sure I spent like 15millions in it over the years, and it never really made any money since ARR but I always kept it up "in case of", but this expansion I was like nah fuck that I'll just...

    Well can't really estimate values off a wipe, but I think it might be overhealing stuff too, not sure how FFlogs does overhealing but it's what makes the most sense otherwise the numbers would be skewed way higher I think, especially with WHMs keeping Medica II rolling at all times and then...
  28. Pyros

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    FFlogs uses its own way to figure out values, especially in terms of fight duration and such. I would also wager it displays effective HPS, so removes overhealing. It'd make little sense to track HPS if it counts every terrible healer vomitting aoe heals with 90% overhealing. Oh also your parse...

    Block does work over temporal(I assume so you can decide to block stuff you'd want to, maybe because they don't make a difference between normal blocks and riposte blocks from lance), and HBG blocks by default for some reason, so yeah that happens. I've had it happen yesterday too when I was...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    On one hand, yeah it sucks, but on the other it's not as bad as DRK not getting TBN until 70 and their 2nd aoe combo until 72. That shit would be super cancer if I didn't level it before, especially the 1 aoe. PLD and WAR get the 2nd at like 40 and GNB at 52 or 54 or so and since you pretty much...

    Monster Hunter: World

    I personally solo everything(besides KT obv), I feel like you often don't get to learn much in parties cause it's either shitters who cart 20secs into a fight to the most basic shit or good players who stun/stagger lock shit and you kinda don't get to do too much. Matter of taste though...
  32. Pyros

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    To be fair that's like the only hard part in the fight because you need to memorize the 2 patterns and how they're named, and fucking it up gets you instantly killed(and potentially everyone else after). Will be easier to clear next week probably(and every week after that for a little while...

    Hmm nice crafting RNG. Figured I'd make one of the new fireglass chest stuff for myself since price went down a bunch. Craft one, no reuse proc, I figure I'll reclaim and try again. 90% chance to succeed isn't so bad. Fails first try. Ok well let's do another then. No reuse proc, reclaim, fails...

    I mean yeah they're all "ticks" I guess but generally when referring to server ticks for stuff like Anatman or BLM regen, ppl mean the 3secs constant ticks that dictate stuff like when dots do damage or when hots heal. The ground aoe checks are on a much smaller tickrate, same for buff...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    As I said it's definitely not necessary to do the ACT syncing, but regardless the Anatman opener is still better. And it isn't a crazy complicated opener to do or whatever. It's literally learning a 10buttons sequence as a new opener. It's kinda like doing the old BLM opener because you don't...

    Monster Hunter: World

    Started farming the actual stuff I needed now that I'm done with behemoth, did Greatest Jagras a couple of times for event stuff, didn't drop tickets though, was surprisingly "hard", carted a few times one of his attacks apparently does so much damage I die even through block? That or it ignores...

    Monster Hunter: World

    Sorry I didn't mean loot wise, I know AT KT has good shit, but I just hated doing KT already and don't really want to grind AT KT some more. I'll maybe do a couple for the armor and then I'll mod the weapons if I feel I want to use them. As for extremoth I play XIV so don't really need DRG AF1...
  38. Pyros

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    There's no reason not to do the Anatman opener, it's always better than not doing it, even if the tick is the max duration. Them being 90+ doesn't really change that. The faster the tick is, the better the opener is compared to other openers. What's most likely not needed is using the ACT mod to...

    Monster Hunter: World

    Man was Behemoth a big fat whore, fucking shit fight, random wombo combos, weird fucking hitboxes on attacks and limited time with I assume no scaling for solo, shit was rough. After killing it I went and tried in multi and it was way easier(well besides idiots carting the first time he does...

    Monster Hunter: World

    Yeah booted this up yesterday for the first time in a while, want to do the event shit and all the fights I haven't done. Had to start with Behemoth cause of the armor though, but goddamn do I suck at killing this fucker, I remember wiping a bunch at some point when it was released and it didn't...
