    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    No it's literally just a big hp dummy that simulate the DPS you need in theory to beat the enrage on the boss, but it's balanced like fucking garbage. If it has mechanics it'd be really useful since that's be much better practice than hitting a dummy, but nope.
  23. Pyros

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Yeah but the tuning on these is always kinda shitty, either they're too easy or too hard at the intended gear lvl, it's weird. If you're on PC hitting a normal dummy with ACT is just a lot better to improve overall.

    First you need to be 60+ and have access to Idylshire. Go talk to Khloe, she's outside the poetics vendor building, across the Hard Place bar thing. Talk to her to receive the Wondrous Tails book, which is a weekly book that you fill by completing certain duties noted in the book(open via the...

    You'd probably get people telling you to do the BLM shit as soon as you enter a 30+ dungeon as THM though. Anyway generally speaking, the community is pretty nice. Being an online game, it's not always the case obviously, but I'd say overall it's still a lot better than many other games. Partly...

    Yeah you can see the stats caps. Also old main stat materias don't do anything anymore. Basically every item has a stat cap based on the ilvl. Say the stat cap is 100, the main stat on the item which is crit will be 100, and the offstat which is direct hit will be 60. You can meld 40 direct hit...

    That's how every class works yeah. BLM can kinda work just starting the rotation right away, the opener is good for squeezing more dmg out but the current opener only works at higher levels anyway.

    Blood of the Dragon is way easier to maintain, but yeah when the tank is really slow, oops buff dropped. That's why I often activated Life for 1-2 nastrond at the end of a pack, just because I didn't know if I'd be able to keep it until next pack anyway. The 30secs buff does make it a lot...

    It was impossible to drop it before in combat too, because the 78 skill made it impossible already. The form switch is for when you're out of combat, or if you used anatman already somehow, and you still had riddle of earth too. Like the only fight you can drop it on is Eden, and the buff didn't...

    Seems a bit weird since there wasn't really any actual buff to damage though. RoF iirc was pretty much even as a change(some people on balance were even saying it might be a slight loss due to double weaving issues) and everything else's just the same. It's quite possible BLMs are parsing lower...

    SAM can maintain uptime just fine while dodging though, you might not hit EVERY mob, but as long as you hit some you generate kenki and sens, and can easily cull it down. Their aoe burst is really good at high levels too Also a thing I rarely see other melees do, eat the aoes if they don't have...

    Blacklisting ppl doesn't prevent you from being grouped with them via DF. It'd fuck the matchmaking if it did. It does prevent you from entering their PF or them entering yours though. It's fairly rare you'll see the same people again however. Some people are just fucking retarded, and they...

    I just sold my maps, I hate running them takes way too long. I had 6 in the mail and 5 on me, they all sold for 300k once prime time came, the prices had slowly been raising all day but seems to have more or less topped off at 300k. Also sold 2000goetia worth of mats for like 6 or 7m, because...

    Kinda all the same. The advantage of leveling everything in parallel is you can throw away your gear when you outlvl it(and by that I mean convert it to materias, even low lvl ones are worth something for crafting), and keep your inventory cleaner this way. Also past 50, a lot of crafts use...

    Haven't seen that, I think a lot of casuals are happy with the new map shit, and there wasn't going to be new real content until 5.1 so ppl might have been super clueless I don't know.

    Some of the situations you're listing just don't work like that. If you hold 3k mp, you don't have to think about "what if you used it on edge and then got it back in time". Because max mp is 10k, so if that's the case, you'll just hit 6k, and hit Edge, and then still have 3k for TBN. The only...

    It costs a lot of potency if it doesn't pop. Granted it pops on any relevant content for the most part, just not on like, dungeon bosses and shit. On dungeon trash I think it's a bit worse than some of the other cooldowns too if you got a large enough pull, because 15-20% of all incoming damage...
