>Decide to try BRD
Holy shit how do people play this garbage. There is no flow at all.

71-80 is a day of dungeon farming

So I'm not the only one. Just can't stand to play monk. Drg flows so much better

Not with dps queue unfortunately. Tried to do well before reset and queue time was more than 30 mins.

>clumsy to play
>There is no flow at all.
These aren't valid criticisms, you're just spouting meaningless buzzwords. Either form a coherent argument that supports your opinion or fuck off

Whats more fun, DRG or BLM

>I have never experienced flow so I don't know what it is

He is right thou. When you play MCH you feel the rhythm of your skills/abilities, same with DNC. It feels like playing tetris, where you use a piece to complete 5 lines, followed by, few several good pieces to complete 2-3 more lines. Whereas BRD, you try to make lines as soon as you can, even if you leave empty spaces.

BLM is trash till fire IV, I started as a thamaturge and it was a mistake. It's best to start as a melee dps for the least amount early level boredom, maybe ranged dps but I havnt played one yet

Just imagine you're casting Fire IV bro, still more fun than anything else
Like, make a macro for casting Fire I and name it Fire IV or whatever

based smoothbrain

So I've seen it posted before that crit has more value the more of it you have. IE Crit will outscale DH but only when you have some arbitrary amount of it. Implying that DH is more valuable at lower crit numbers. Do any of you know why, or how, that could be?

Sluts like this succing u dicc

Attached: 1055AD2A-B4E0-412F-9E72-6ED9C843035F.jpg (750x1030, 775K)

Because DH scales linearly while Crit scales exponentially. The more cit you have the more crits you do and the more damage those crits do.

shut up nerd

BLM is very low IQ till fire IV though

Direct hits are pretty much mini-crits, by stacking it you tend to be more likely to land them than you ever would get crits, but a direct hit is always a 25% damage increase vs. a regular hit, while crit as a stat raises both crit chance and the damage multiplier of critical hits. Eventually crit outpaces dh in terms of average dps gain, it's just that dh is still good now that the expansion is young and the max level stat scalings have been 'reset'.

Orange parse SAM requires more IQ than any other DPS. You must learn how server ticks work to properly fish for meditate throughout the fight.

E3S is pretty hard in PF. Hardest one for now.

I see. What's the floor on a crit then? Do you have a crit damage formula by chance?

Just clear so you can stop being forced to use clear parties

I don't really have any idea about the number crunching behind it, I tend to always stack crit anyway because I play SCH :^)

in general each crit point = dh at around 2800, so if you cant get above 2800, you will be imperfect. also avoid dh if you're a warrior, go for skillspeed/determination instead

>in general each crit point = dh at around 2800
How did you arrive at that? Are crits worth less than 125% damage at

who cares just clear the fight

Not other guy, but each point of DH increases your chance to DH more than each point of crit increases your chance to crit. So until crit's exponential scaling (since it increases crit rate and also crit damage) bring it above a certain threshold, Direct Hit gives you more DPS per point on average. At least that's what I recall.

I can't believe I leveled two DD jobs to 80 for a shitty quest. I expected it to be long and to be blown away at the end. Fuck you Cyella.

Attached: 1564988258843.jpg (1024x735, 160K)

Does DH have a cap though? I can't imagine DH getting to something high like 95% by the end of the expansion.

DH doesn't really cap, to my knowledge - you won't get to 100% DH or anything even if you full stack it, no. It's just at a certain point, your substat investments would be better spent on Crit.

Can you get a makai title with gold saucer garo pieces?

Attached: 1321543786908.jpg (227x222, 7K)

losing aero 3 and not having Stone 4's god-tier sound+animation is unironically why i dropped WHM this expansion

That's a shame, because that means it's a no brainer for dps since all you'll stack is crit and dh.

This is weird. I've mained MNK since I started playing about 2 years ago, and I found it really hard to adjust to DRG every expansion. It's a bit better this time around but it plays so differently than MNK that it's hard to wrap my head around it even if it's mechanically simple.

>tfw no Code Vein collab

When is the next major patch? The one with 2B and ultimate. I feel like we're actually not late at all, but more like halfway through.

We've had daily discussions for months now. People have already discussed all there is. If you're a legit new player then chances are you are playing the game right now instead of coming to these threads to get spoilered or get confused about wtf people are talking about and just not contribute to discussion.

Guess that's not so bad.

There's only so many times you can have the same discussions before you get bored, and when we get bored we either have slow threads or rampant shitposting and attention whoring

Why you talking about wow for?

It takes on average 30 minutes to complete a dungeon with Trust. PoTD/HoH take about 5-10 minutes which I assume will be the same thing with the ShB equivalent when it gets released.

If it's real there is nothing to defend. Savage is not mythic. Savages are not hard for statics

why the FUCK can't I fly in ARR zones yet?

Attached: 1561690046601.jpg (371x353, 13K)

stormblood sucks

Probably just burnout, and maybe just not wanting to play "the shit part" depending on how much of the bitching you've heard

ARR zones weren't designed with flying in mind. Probably lots of graphic designs that look good from the ground but fall apart when viewed from the air. Might be a lot of areas where you might be able to fly to where there isn't any collision, either.

Take a break. The director/producer of this game approves of it. He tells other players to focus on real life and play other video games to avoid burnout. He literally tells his own customers to unsub for their health.

having explored the maps out of normal bounds, you will never be able to fly in these crude abominations.

Well first off why do you want to fly in those zones?

What other zones can you go out of bounds in? I slipped out in East Shroud but that's all I managed to do.

lotta zones. think you can still glitch under south shroud to this day, though many of the things have been patched out. back in arr you could simply simulate lag and fall through many areas, and get to places like in limsa lominsa.

Why are you even want to fly in ARR zones corridors? Can you not see how those areas different from HW, SB, ShB? I don't hate open fields in expansions and ShB zones are pure kino but damn I want tem to be more similar to ARR areas. Look at forest in South Shroud. Or north Shroud. Why do you always need giant fields? Though Tempest is probably most complex area in game

Classic FF adventuring goodness.

I don’t think you know what corridors means mate.

I got to lvl 60 from doing just MSQ then leveling dailies and dungeons when I fell behind. Then I realized I needed to go back and do all the Blue Quests. All that's left as far as I can tell is dungeon Blue Quests and Hildibrand's Quests. I've been feeling burned out because of this.

Much of that stuff is optional. The blue quests stuff I mean, so just do it at your own pace.

You don’t need to do all the blue quests. Just do the crystal tower one and you should be fine.

FF13 corridors.

Come back to them later, only one that should be done in ARR is Crystal Tower raid quests because of its relevance to Shadowbringers.

I haven’t played that game in years and didn’t get far into it so no idea what ya talking about.

And yet the enrage was extremely tight on E2 before people got 470 gear.

Okay. I call them corridors because they're basically singleplayer FF game levels. Instead of seamless MMO world.

dragon dildos you say? I will prepare my anus

Unrealistic que times.

No seriously, don't get used to them. Try a DPS and see how it *really* is

E3S is cursed. Everyone can know all mechanics but one silly mistake and you are done. And someone will make mistake.for sure. Especially after wiping non stop

Maybe it's because I'm tank and I don't have to do shit at that point, but I just watch everyone else scramble around like ants while I'm screaming internally.

Oh,forgot to ask..I have been having fun play Scholar and white mage is fun too,but from what I've played of Astro,it seems kinda bad compared to the other two healers..What other classes should I try out?

Samurai fills my weebo needs
Red Mage is a blast
Haven't really tanked at all

MCH is satisfying, it's like a non-shit BRD.

BRD is the only ranged DPS that isn't shit to play

You see, even if I knew the melee dps jobs were more fun I couldn’t play them because my autism won’t let my not start with a magical caster job since I just love playing casters in RPGs

The old voices fit the characters so well, I just want the old-voices back because they are the only ‘true’ characters from, except for Tataru because her old voice was cancer but that has to do with her old-voice being bad not her new voice being good

I actually don't know. I'll give it a try right now. I've been doing as a healer since >insta queue

Just give the new voices a chance, user. I felt really weirded out with the change, but I got used to it and then they got better quick and sounded better than the original dub.

Couldn't go wrong with either of them honestly. Both are pretty good and feel great to play.

>being a caster in phase 3

I think BLM is probably the only one who can survive since they get manaward, whereas SMN and RDM get FUCK ALL and unless you get a regen or some extra healing from a healer (which isn't happening since they are spending ALL their time pumping out AOE heals) you're just dead

The final role quest seems very important to the overarching story going forward. The fact it even mentions Unukalhai makes it even more important. Why is this even an optional quest?

Attached: DlqjRb6.png (427x600, 235K)

Because it ultimately doesn't matter. I dont know if it refers to the kid if you haven't done the warring triad questline, but really it just tells some backstory that is done already, and cant impact the story farther.

Because it's not really applicable to anything in the current or next expansion. It's just lore filler.

same reason Crystal Tower is an optional quest I guess
it's weird but I guess it adds a bit of horizontal weight to the world

Dark Souls.
Magnai's affinity for the sun has great potential for the event quest.
I also really need /pointdown emote.

what are your thoughts on people who make "clear for one" duty complete parties, Yea Forums?

Depends on how many people already in the PF are there to help said person clear, aka they all know their roles thoroughly. If it's just 1 guy + 1 friend who hasn't cleared, they're fucked.

What if it's literally one guy who made the party for himself and only wants duty complete people to join

Monk flows great, what are you talking about?

If it's old content, sure that's fine.

If it's current content, fuck that guy

Crystal Tower at least has almost no serious requirements to access.
The final role quest requires 4 classes at level 80, something many players won't bother with.

I'm not saying there's anything wrong with gating off content like that, but if it's gonna be important for later story content, one would expect them to make it more accessible. Though I guess maybe if it becomes relevant 2 expacs from now, it'll be more feasible for more players to have at least 4 lvl 80 characters.

Well what class seems most likely to be enjoyable for you?

They're going to delay ultimate so it happens between the 2nd/3rd raid tier, and the lull before next expac.

Not really. If you want class stuff, check out the balance (though that really focuses on cap level rotations)

You only want to use Energy Drains when you have excess Aetherflow charges since Ruin 2 + Energy Drain is only a mild potency gain. Ideally you should be using aetherflow heals to circumvent using a GCD to heal. So in any situation where you'd need to succor or adlo but could instead excog/indom/lustrate, you should use the aetherflow heal and do a ruin 2 instead of casting Adlo. This also applies to any situation where you could use an aetherflow heal to save your cohealer a GCD too (and applies even moreso to that than to you if your cohealer is a WHM)

Should I always be ruin 2 to oGCD?

>SE's fix to lack of healers is just adding you-used-healer-in-relevant-content achievements w/ mount rewards like they did tanks back in 2.X

You should never clip your GCD no. You should always ruin 2. If you need to weave more than 2 things then you should go ruin 2 > swiftcast oGCD > broil > oGCD oGCD

Aren't you mad at the people who reported you? You carried them and this is how they repay you.

flames are never godlike. They are the retard zerg force who sometimes determines if someone gets second in a close match.

>Swiftcast oGCD
Wait what? Are you sure about that?

I don't believe you. What did you really get banned for? Calling someone a nigger?

Yes I am. Also this was on crystal

I am not that oblivious. Especially when you can get banned for saying fuck now in the game. I try my best not to talk to people

On primal yes. On Aether flames can easily get wins, mostly with premades which are all over the damn place on this DC.

>You should never clip your GCD no.
For single-weave is better to just hardclip your Broil vs. hitting Ruin2 though.

>Especially when you can get banned for saying fuck now in the game.
What the fuck seriously?

Yes, you should try to double weave when you can. Doing Swiftcast plus one other oGCD then a broil lets you effectively weave 3 off GCDs for one ruin 2 cast. Basically that Swiftcast is an 80 potency attack. Of course you shouldn't do that if you think one of your party members is about to eat shit and die in the next 60 seconds.
As an example the SCH opener does something like
>Biolysis > Aetherflow > E.Drain > Broil III > Swiftcast > Chain > Broil III > E. Drain > Broil III spam
So that it can dump all its Aetherflow ASAP while only having to use one Ruin II

Good luck on your transition.

It's a gamble saying anything these days.
I also just don't talk in game ever.

I thought swift cast just gets rid of cast times. How does that work for a oGCD?

This is wrong. If you hardclip 2 broils you lose 1 gcd from the clipping. So if you hard clip 20 broils you lose 10gcds. Not worth

The new tos allows you to get banned on mod discretion. It depends on the mod's mood now

I had two people act like we owed them something because they opted to abuse the system to (slowly) solo everything ahead of us. Almost wanted to report them just for that. Either wait in the CS, or be quiet while you D/C yourself to skip the CS, or don't queue the thing at all.

Attached: Limsa2.jpg (1278x701, 127K)

I heavily dislike this and the direction the world is headed in as a whole.

He means to hit swiftcast as your 2nd offgcd after that Ruin2, so you can instant a Broil after to do another double-weave.

It doesn't affect oGCDs, you weave it with another oGCD so that you can do a Broil III instead of a Ruin II on your next GCD. You have to do it in your opener with energy drain because you can't weave 2 energy drains in one GCD. So instead of going ruin II > E.drain > Broil > ruin II > E.drain, you go ruin II > E.drain > swift > broil > e.drain

I presume that first Broil was supposed to be a Ruin2, unless you really mean to hardclip your gcd w/ two offgcd.

No it's actually supposed to be
>Biolysis
>Aetherflow + Drain
>Broil III
>Ruin II
>Swiftcast + Chain Strat
I forgot that ruin II after the broil III. You do that Broil III on opener to align Chain Strat properly.

I mained the MSQ as blm because it killed everything way faster than melee.
Rotation is retarded, but it's effective.

Attached: 1567567343744.png (707x935, 106K)

So opener should be something like...
Pot > Precast Broil > Bio - Aether+Drain > Broil > Ruin2 - Swift+Chain > Broil - Drain+SoilExcogOrIndom > Broil until Bio or Pet or Aether

Yeah? Most of the fight openers this raid tier have something for you to hit party-wise in the first 10s

I hate lalafells who have max ear length

Yes except you don't use aetherflow on healing because if there's any damage going out during the opener it should be covered by your prepull recitation spread adlo.
Also if the fight supports it you use Dissipation in your opener for more energy drains while your pot is up. But that's a mild potency gain that you should only do when yo uhave a fight on autopilot or it's a fight with very little damage going out in the first 30 seconds or so

Who ready?

>it should be covered by your prepull recitation spread adlo.
Unfortunately not the case for E4S where Titan wants to waste 40s with the MT before doing any AoE, where I reci-Indom there instead for shapes/voice.

>9S costume
What a great day to be a Lala

>But that's a mild potency gain
If they made all healer DPS skills 1.5s cast like AST already has it'd be a decent potency bump, but yeah, having to sacrifice Broil potency to hit Ruin2 and weave the extra EDs isn't that fantastic short of trying to parse well at the cost of making your co-healer possibly use more of their tools for AoE heals.

Yeah titan is just a bitch when it comes to the amount of damage it shits out on autos and how late the AOE damage comes out.
it's still a 70 potency gain which isn't insignificant. However even under a pot, if there's any situation where you using an energy drain would mean you or your cohealer have to use a GCD to heal something, you shouldn't do it. However in most fights this tier you can get away with just spamming ruin 2 energy drains with dissipation because of how overkill healing kits are now.

I don't know why they don't just make Heat Blast a buff with 5 stacks that diminsh each skill used, instead of timed. It'd make it far more lenient for folks who clip their gcd a little but want to single-weave.

The storyline of the Binding Coils of Bahamut is also optional, yet 100% canon, and if you haven't completed it you will have no idea why Alisaie is acting like she is so close to you. The game treats it like it happened anyway.
SE never gave a shit about how accessable content is when it comes to them being canon and integral part of the main storyline.

Even if you buy the Garo equipment for marks, but you don't have the class levelled at the moment, and say you level it after the collab event ends, will you still be able to equip the stuff for the title, or getting the title will no longer be possible?

The NPC and achievements that reward the titles will be removed

This doesn't even seem right, E1S was absurdly low sure, but E2S/E4S weren't a pushover or anything.

Strange article. Either way its no big deal because Ultimate.

E1S was noticeably harder than O1S. I feel E2S/E3S are easier than O2S/O3S though

This just reads as bs to me. There's no 'removing hp' thing, it's just doing the math after the fact when you're got the full fight inplace, then picking what you want for an enrage timer, and dividing that by the average group DPS in your calculator, give-or-take untargetable downtime.

For difficulty
E1s > o1s
E2S = O2S
E3S < O3S
E4S > O4S

Really? I found Void harder than Cata, but Levi is definitely easier that Hali, especially considering its just 90% O11S mechanics.

My point is that in min ilvl it didn't feel much different at all. Beyond E1S being massively undertuned. (~52.5k rDPS check)

This is mostly right but I'm pretty surprised you found Titan harder.

Did we run the same O2S? I didn't recall spending remotely as much time with my group trying to clear it week 1 than we did E2S. Once people had the big gimmick with the 4-people-knocked-away-4-people-stack shit solid you were good to clear.

I found titan harder because I feel his week 1 dps check was harder than exdeath. Only reason

They probably have an internal calculation for boss HP based on a predefined measure of normal raid DPS at certain ilvls and how long they want the fight to last. Then they just take that figure and shave off 10-15% for the first tier.

I'm just happy E4S used shapes above our heads for mechanics heads-up instead of debuff-bar puke like O4S did.

I had more trouble with O2S with pugs. there was more coordination required which fucks with players, E2S is just mostly doing your own thing

no way titan is harder than exdeath

I'm just glad no more door boss shit. Titan was short and sweet, great stuff.

Am I misunderstanding what he's saying here or does this not make any sense at all?

Even with the supposed 15% reduction the week 1 Titan kills (and a lot of the voidwalker kills) were tight as fuck and only really finished during or towards the end of the enrage casts which should imply that they were just about properly tuned for your average minimum item level 5.1 group.
If their health had been cut by only 10% I'm honestly not sure if stuff like Titan would've been possible at all in week 1

Attached: confused albedo.jpg (325x238, 54K)

That debuff bar puke meant nothing tho. You only needed to look out for one debuff and you knew where you went.

Only thing I dislike about E4S is the fight got slower as it progressed. If it kept the tempo of first phase, then we'd be talking.

oh and I think the big difference is E2S's dps check is more forgiving

That's what I'm saying. Is there something we're not getting because Titan is 13m vs like, 18m Neo Ex??? It honestly seemed tuned just like every other tier, outside of E1S.

I play on primal and we get wins if there's someone guiding us.

and if the team pays attention

Keep in mind during O4S days we couldn't split the buff bar up into separate containers like we can nowadays.

It was still 4 fucking years.

I doubt they use minimum item level to determine boss HP. They only expect the really good groups to clear week 1, normal players need gear upgrades.

Race with the worst reputation?

l*lafell

It still fucking doesn't mean shit to me, and they definitely wouldn't have gotten cancer to leave a NPC in to be able to do the evaluation later but leave the gear unobtainable, and I will call them out on it whether it triggers you or not.

HOW DO I LEVEL A DPS CLASS AAAAAAAAAAAAA

Have something to do during the queues.

potd hoh static

Each of the six cards is now an attack like 4.0 Lord. If it lands, it also applies an effect to everyone in the party around you. Balance is damage, Bole is physical defence, Spire is Crit, Arrow is haste, Spear is DH and Ewer is magical defence. Effects stack with one another. Delete minor arcana and divination. You can hold one card indefinitely, the rest you have to play or redraw. The point of this system is to immediately grant positive feedback to the AST in form of on-hit damage and easily controllable effects rather than having you build a hand over 2 minutes for all the effectiveness of a wet fart, and to reduce micromanagement.

Attached: 1459150369186.jpg (241x255, 7K)

5/10% on Crown cards. Allow cards from another AST to stack alongside yours so double-AST isn't insufferable when DF decides to stick you with another.

Is leveling a tank better done using roulettes or just spamming the highest available dungeon? Roulettes seemed fine up until 60, but it's starting to slow down now and I'm feeling the fatigue setting in.

Never do a Roulette after you get the daily bonus.

Always do highest dungeons if you got the Roulette bonus for the day.

>5.1 update comes
>Leaving from a duty now removes your roulette bonus privilege for that day

Yeah, that's what I generally do, but I'm wondering whether at some point it's quicker to just skip the roulette for the day and go right ahead to the highest dungeon.

No, roulette daily XP is massive. MSQ roulette gives the most out of all the roulettes.

potd is a good change of pace whenever you get bored of dungeons

They didn't want a WAR/DRK only set to exist in the game I guess, it's either all tanks or one job only. Also queue tank nerd.

The real pisser to me is that the game tries to "encourage" you to play tanks more with those mount rewards but because they're job specific you have to bore yourself silly with tanking by no lifing one specific tank only to unlock them in any reasonable time.

Give the buffs a bit more flavor than buff melee/buff ranged, make lady/lord an ogcd heal/spell again. Keep divination though, thats neat and the seals look like little slots.

MSQ roulette is 45min minimum. Do people actually do this one every day? I feel tired and drained just doing regular roulettes routinely sometimes. How do you even manage?

BLM is pretty much self-explanatory. Best theme, most iconic job in the series despite its simplicity, very clear job identity which it fulfils perfectly, great aesthetics, great presentation, spells look and feel amazing, gameplay is smooth as butter. It has its weaknesses and ways to deal with them. Just a great job overall. I've been in love since ARR.

I don't really play any other jobs desu, but I wish SMN and RDM got upgraded to be as satisfying as BLM. Both of them suffer from a bit of an identity crisis. It's kinda sad watching from the outside. I also miss AST cards and wish it focused more on buffs rather than being indecisive about wanting to shield and heal.

True. new to the game and I played Thamaturge for the first time last night. Even when you're using the class correctly, you do shit for damage at low levels (up to lvl 22 so far) and there's no good rotations worth making so far. I just spam two attacks for a while and move on. Sleep is only good when you're being attacked by multiple enemies. My Warrior is fun to play because the rotation can be used for self buffs and versatility and I like juggling aggro

Go back and clear the Raid stories you missed (Binding Couls of Bahamut, Alexander, Omega, Eden), clear the Alliance raid stories (Crystal Tower, Void Ark, Ivalice).
Level other jobs to 80, an finish their role quests.
Do the Hildibrand questline.
Unlock optional dungones you might have missed, there are some scattered around with blue + iconed quest marks, most of them in Mor Dhona.

Why are the DRK quests so kino? It's jarring compared to the other jobs.

BRING BACK FUCKING SPREAD.
FUCK YOUR SINGLE TARGET APPLICATIONS AND FUCK SPLITTING DRAW/PLAY SO I NEED TO PRESS SO MANY FUCKING BUTTONS.
AST WAS FINE IN 4.4 YOU FUCKING CUNTS, NOBODY ASKED FOR THIS OTHER THAN RETARDS WHO DIDN'T EVEN PLAY AST IN THE FIRST PLACE AND JUST PARROTED LOL BALANCE MEMES.
CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL.

Also a problem with healers in general that exacerbates the bullshit on AST is DPS spells not initiating your autoattack on your target. I am so sick of having to reapply my AA to the boss every 5 seconds because of the endless party list targetting.

A mistake, because you aren't rolling Dragoon

However it is, playing AST right now feels like fucking cancer. I have to constantly be shuffling cards like an idiot to keep up some miniscule damage buff that cuts duration like a madman if you fuck it up even once, all the wile you have to scramble with trying to keep the party up with super impotent healing spells, and also scratch the back of the boss with dps abilities with the potency of a wet fart. It's not fun.

Then they didn't bring back spread.
But legitimately I would still take it, you have no idea how involved and stressful AST openers are with single target and the way seals apply as and when they feel like it, unless you want Divination 25s after pull.
FUCK I miss my job so badly.

Yeah I fucked up, I meant royal road. You can tell I don't play AST.
Still, all I've heard about the current state of the job is disappointment. I'm sorry, user. I wish you could enjoy your job as much as I do mine.

>He's still obsessed with Tataru
She wasn't even that great get over her nigga.

Reminder that monks are at fault for taking Fey Wind and Arrow away from us.

Curious, what is currently considered to be the meta optimal opener for AST?

Probably October, /maybe/ then end of September, since the liveletter on the 15th is part 1 of what I can only assume is 2

I wish Monk didn't have the Indian stuff in it. But then again if it didn't it'd probably have a worse alternative.

It's a shame we won't get to see the world ravaged by the 8th calamity, and we'll only hear about it secondhand.

They're the only job quests written by Ishikawa, the Shadowbringers MSQ writer. Although she did also write the Rogue quests.

AST shit aside, why do you need to make sure you're auto attacking

Just play SCH or WHM my dude, the duel disk isn't worth it anymore

he's memeing or just stupid, auto attacks as caster/healer do nothing because they're calculated off your strength stat

What job do you play, my dude?

Holy shit i love Titania’s theme

For me it's almost relaxing at this point, cause it's just so easy to do other things while the cutscenes are going. It's good exp, and all it requires you to do is run around a bit and wail on some outdated enemies.

Retard. It's free damage, no matter how small. casters getting ~70 AAs each in Ultimate amounts to ~1% of total raidwide. Remember that next time you wipe at enrage.

t. someone who had a Golden wipe at 33k HP before we got our first clear.

ONE BRINGS SHADOW
ONE BRINGS LIGHT

70 AAs from casters is what, 6000 damage per capita?
Wow it's fucking nothing

It's literally free damage that amounts to a GCD cast or two over the length of the fight. Why would you NOT do it? Are you too dumb to understand FREE DAMAGE? Or is clicking the boss and standing close enough too hard for you?

I also main MCH after trying Dancer so I leveled up Bard because why not as I can use the same gear

But holy fuck this job is so weird and clunky. I think the biggest offender is Mage's Ballad and the fact that your songs don't line up with their durations so you always end up skipping the last one before the duration is over.

Also Bard suffers from archaic fucking design where he has filler abilities like Empyreal Arrow that have no mechanics involved and just do damage. (And to some extent Shadowbite as well). At least MCH's OGCDs fill his meters or interact with other spells.

I wish they reworked bard into a stance-based ranged dps. Even if it's something simple like single target, aoe and supportive song-stances.

>go close enough to auto attack a boss as caster, like it would ever happen anyway when you are constantly casting anyway
>wipe to mechanics that could be avoided if not standing there for measy 70 damage
The benefit truly is worth it. I'm just glad I will never in my life ever will reach autism leves this high.

JOHN FUCKING MADDEN to get Divination out on 8s/9.5s/12s depending on your RNG. It's aids.

Balmung?

You sound like a shitter, friend.

optimising raid damange and crunching numbers IS autism
I just like laughing at raid autists who really care that much about stupid shit like this. If your group is so shit that you really needed that extra 70 auto attack damage to down that savage boss, then your static should consider uninstalling the game and get into Angry Birds.

need != want
Stick to glamouring your lizard in Limsa.

I have a brainlet Question
If i use Raging Strikes then use my dots. Will it increase my dot damage and will keep doing so if i let it stay up?

Attached: 1568043498549.png (599x480, 105K)

If you apply dots/iron jaws under raging strikes, they are buffed for that duration. iron jaws is effectively a new application despite looking like a refresh.

DoTs get buffed for their entire duration the moment you apply them. That means that if you apply your DoTs during Raging Strike they will keep doing their 10% buffed damage even when Raging Strike wears off (Iron Jaws do not extends the buff though). This is referred as snapshotting DoTs.

Yes. It often optimal to reapply your dot early to catch the end of a damage window.

Truly facts are no match for your buzzwords.

>No matter how good my gear is I still feel like SCH has to throw around every possible CD to keep up with healing
Yes, user, you have to use your abilities to play your job, I know it's shocking, but stay with me, you can't just press one button and heal everything.

This is the fastest ucob kill recorded

6 DPS
You're pretending to kill yourself over 6 DPS. Like one random crit from any person in the party DPS. Like 100 times less than what you'd get for swapping to a good job DPS.
You will never be able to show us an example of your 6 DPS mattering in any encounter.

why is ballad clunky? you clip paeon because it's the weakest and you keep the effect for longer anyway with the new trait. empy arrow gives you a guaranteed song procs and shadowbite does more damage when you have dots on

Shit, I'm this close to buying that mount, I love it so much aaaaaaa

I'll tell you a recent story.

Nah spamming bootleg inner release isn't what I call fun. BRD is 10x better and won't make you want to kill yourself.

Cringy art some third worlder would jerk his dick to

The next time a Tank point Divination rune to the party I'm going to bust a vain

Mage's Ballad feels awful to play with because it has a chance of proccing Bloodletter every single second. So you have to keep your eyes on the proc at all times.

I think random procs are fine from a design standpoint, but they should only have them after skill casts so you can cast a spell, then check once if it procced or not. Dancer for example has way more RNG but the implementation is better.

Mage's Ballad would be a lot better if you could stack up to 2 or maybe even 3 casts of Rain / Bloodletter. If nothing else I hope they implement that and buff the other physical DPS jobs too because they are absolutely the weakest DPS in the game.

>Dancer for example has way more RNG but the implementation is better.
And you store your feather procs anyway. Either for phases where something has to die ASAP or for tech step. Till you hit three feathers you don't even have to pay that much attention.

Can't you just add that move that can proc to a different hotbar, enlarge it, and move it a bit closer to where you would normally be looking so you can use it to keep track of procs more easily?
The downside is that it would add some clutter I guess.

Don’t worry, you’ll find good tanks and deeps some day and discover the true Sch experience

6.4 from the AST
17.5 from the SCH
17.1 from the SMN
That's 41 DPS in a 16.5 minute fight, which equals more than 40k damage. In ucob, that equates to about 5-6 extra Malefic/Broil/Ruin3 casts...
FOR
FREE
I legitimately don't understand how you cannot comprehend 2 extra GCDs EACH across your casters is not a good thing when it's utterly braindead to accomplish. I can only assume you're trolling.

>Wedge was killed instead of dying peacefully in his sleep

Good.

It's super comfy! Looking forward to having you

But it's not free.
This person is shitting themselves over having to spam auto attack on the boss after every single action. Sure it's free on a caster.

I think random refulgent procs are worse 2bh. ballad is probably my favourite song because I hate the last few seconds of minuet when you have to decide to use PP early or risk it

If my parse is purple that's good right

I make it a point for my parses to be gray, anything more and it's not getting uploaded.

You linked a log from before, when AST had spread and was much more comfy to play. That's exactly the thing the guy was complaining about in nu-AST.

That has nothing to do with the topic of AA autism that the log was supposed to disprove. Nice deflection attempt though, too bad nobody took it.

Another example of something being so minor and so cancer that it's not worth it despite being "free" is seigan. Even top 100% sams barely have any uses, nowhere close to the theoretical optimal max. As soon as you're out of the top ten it drops down to 0. You think that top 100% samurai is trolling for not hitting a single seigan, despite it being even easier and more impactful than spamming autoattack on a boss as a healer for the entire fight?
Get real LARPer.
Inb4 some shit about not bringing a sam for optimization when we're talking about fucking astrologian.

cool.

Whenever you see an enemy team with 4+ battle highs/fevers simultaneously, it's a premade.

Yeah that was my assumption anyway. It had to have been a full premade. Still fucking incredible. No one knew what hit them. In PVP I just follow the kill blob I was randomly stuck with and carry with BLM damage. Seeing people legitimately organized enough to completely ignore objectives was wild.

Why try to outdamage other people on a node when you can just kill both teams in seconds and take the objective while no one is on it? Holy fuck.

Call them out and kick them if they don't learn after being called out. You don't have to be anyone's bitch and suck up to dead weight.

Im starting to think about rerolling into mael.

Free damage.

No argument.

I've seen 8-man frontlines where an entire team was a premade, and they just sat on our base and all I could do as watch as my dipshit teammates ran headfirst into the meatgrinder over and over. No attempt to group up before charging, just trickling in and getting instantly slaughtered, over and over. It didn't even matter that we got invincibility after spawning because we couldn't kill a single one of them anyway. Eventually they'd leave to take back their own base but it didn't even matter at that point.

I always decide I will be AFK this time without exception, since I wouldn't queue in the first place if I wanted to be not AFK, what kind of retarded comment is this?

I'm adder but I queue with mael friends so it's all good.

I want to but I am 70 wins deep into Adders and if I change to mael I'd have to start all over again for the mount achievements.

Yeah you have to be real shit as a team to not fight off campers given the inv buff. Sadly I think most people in frontlines are bots or people on auto pilot to get the garo gear. Why try to win when you can lose in 5 minutes and farm the default reward?

>I change to mael I'd have to start all over again for the mount achievements.
wut? I thought it just picks up where it stopped?

SMN should have been something like a DOTmancer that suddenly summons a huge avatar for a big attack that then vanishes. Pets were a fucking mistake. They are never good in any game. Now they're little more than a placeholder graphic after the SHB change.

Nope. Any achievement that starts with "guide any of the three grand companies" has to be done with a single GC. If you get 50 wins and then switch, the counter won't start ticking up again until you've got 50 wins with your new GC.

Facts are not argument, there is nothing to discuss.
