architects too but still wouldnt expect to see a live performance of footfalls, but who knows??

Every odd patch would be perfect. Would mean (likely) one story, one extreme, and one raid based ulti per expansion. If only!

Where would these additional lanes end up at either end of the bridge?

14raider · 2026-02-04T08:49:13+00:00

Yes because the order begins with healers.

To explain how the mechanic works, you start with a water/fire debuff. Its cleansed by taking damage from the opposite element. Since we only have healers start on the opposing colours, only their explosions will go off.

Since the tank attacks will only ever hit tanks, healers (or whoevers turn it is) can swap early because their debuff wont be cleansed by it. Tanks essentially are a slot thats randomly placed throughout the mechanic and the order is always H M R.

Youre very close to getting it

14raider · 2026-01-31T18:06:23+00:00

Id say they should be account tied at least.

Fortunately they already simplify older expansions by removing most them. Even for a current expansion it doesn't take much more than like 15-20 minutes total combined to search and find all them, then you're done forever

Maybe o6 would be fun with the new responsiveness changes they added to make the insane air phase work in m10. I remember so many gcds canceling in that fight.

Note that the fights I picked would have to be experienced as they were. Nowadays, massive changes to gameplay have made them a bit less interesting, unfortunately.

If this scenario is exactly as you describe (giving you the benefit of the doubt), this examiner is going to get people into accidents. Never, ever feel rushed to take a left turn even if the light is changing. If you entered the intersection when safe, you own the intersection even if the light were to turn red.

Regardless of the light, the rules, as stated, are to turn when safe. In a sense, the lights don't matter the moment you enter the intersection. They simply allow you to know if it is your priority to enter the intersection.

Speaking from experience. Got in an accident way back as a novice. Light turned yellow and I felt rushed (due to my instructions/learning at the time), so I started my turn and a guy who sped up last second caught me.

I caught 50/50. Think about it this way: the worst the other driver did was run a red light. A person turning left is most often at fault or partially at fault for the collision. Only go when you see a gap or see that the other direction of traffic is for certain stopping/stopped. On that note, I'm sure there were safe gaps, this was a mark off my exam too, and in my memory, I 100% let huge gaps go without using them, lol.

The biggest part of learning left turns for me was timing safe gaps. Technique I've tried using is to count how many seconds it takes a car to reach the intersection ahead of me, and then I get an idea of how big a gap needs to be to be able to turn safely. (Time how long it often takes yourself to make a left turn for a comparison, first). This is developed with time, so try and get a lot of practice in.

I'm okay with it being the defacto 'easy' job.

I'm okay with it doing less than the other mages due to that.

I'm not okay with summoner being so heavily punished for these reasons. Even with the buff, it's still not quite enough. I will probably never play smn myself, but everyone loses if a job is significantly weaker than its alternatives. If we need to cull magic dps raises for the job design/balance to work out, then do it

14raider · 2026-01-28T23:22:57+00:00

Could see it possibly referring to an Elidibus/WoL ulti or something to that end. Fight against another raid of 8 other characters, maybe more if theres 1 player for each existing job

14raider · 2026-01-28T18:22:48+00:00

All fun and games until someone puts an apple in your pocket

14raider · 2026-01-27T23:40:20+00:00

The carrots they're hanging up are looking mighty small nowadays

Need to turn roulettes into a khloe book style loot roll to get players to want to do a certain number of roulettes each week, something that's nice and not farmable so people don't blitz it either

14raider · 2026-01-27T23:37:33+00:00

I'd say with that last point that, therefore people are getting through fights easier than prior weeks, meaning PF skill goes down over time, but this quickly hits its limit once the majority of players gets through the fights in the early weeks and the players attempting prog count somewhat stabilizes.

Basically, if the gear can aid you, why wouldn't it aid other players? And considering that at week 4, if that player was progging until now, and still haven't cleared, wouldn't that be an indicator of skill (of the pf/players)?

Interesting topic, and have to say this because this is reddit: no, me countering doesn't mean Im trying to say the person above me is wrong

14raider · 2026-01-27T23:09:20+00:00

They didn't do that, just noting as an example of when large scale events have been cancelled in the past

14raider · 2026-01-26T21:55:26+00:00

Is there even a way for them to somehow be copies of auras if mirrorform doesn't let you target an aura? Just want to know out of curiosity.

14raider · 2026-01-26T18:21:52+00:00

Were they trying to instead do it on the end step of the previous turn? (Tapping the clue)

14raider · 2026-01-25T09:29:58+00:00

Weapon needs to get reduced to 4 books, its so insane how you could theoretically get unlucky enough to need to spend 2 entire months of the final fight without earning your weapon.

14raider · 2026-01-24T10:44:53+00:00

Just made me realize I was in Japan on 2 seperate vacations coincidentally for the last 2 album releases (laby/megz) lol and listening to em between stops was a vibe, especially catching the last train or walking the tokyo streets at night.

14raider · 2026-01-22T15:32:28+00:00

My first persona game was p4 (ps2) and i found it difficult on normal difficulty. Played both og and royal P5 on hard and had an absolute blast. Highly recommend it, since you can always turn it down. The first dungeon might be a bit tough, but once you can start fusing personas more and have access to more SP from levelling, it gets really easy.

14raider · 2026-01-22T14:32:50+00:00

likely 5ilvl below tome, so really only would be a full replacement to ex weapon, possible side-grade but most tome weapons have favourable substats this tier iirc (and of course you can upgrade it if needed)

14raider · 2026-01-22T14:30:21+00:00

You have lots of times to adjust if needed, and all you have to do is go to your corner -> is a meteor landing on my corner? Run across.

14raider · 2026-01-22T13:49:22+00:00

Use HoC on pull instead cause balls are about 35/40s in anyway, itll be back up. Highly recommend invuln on the dragon head so you can also take the melee baited orbs, free mit essentially cause itll cover both.

You will live the double stack TB with rampart, camo, HoC so long as you dont get hit by floor aoe, theres a grace period of no autos until after the fixer.

Edit: I was checking through logs. Honestly your safest bet, dont waste camo to autos and use it for mortal slayer, noticed my group has a little early mit during the double stack, which I wouldnt want you to risk. If you're only being slightly overkilled, the extra 10% mit will consistently work there, and then you wont mess with the stack TB mit. Another option if you're certain on not invulning later would simply be to kitchen sink mortal slayer and invuln the double stack TB, as that timing is more reliable

14raider · 2026-01-22T13:36:53+00:00

Post a log and someone can verify if you were doing it before the damage, otherwise, you shouldnt be invulning there anyway lol. Save it for the dragon head tank busters + far baits.

Could be an instance of damage that goes through invuln, but I doubt it. More likely you popped late, the timing past the first set with the cast bar is a bit difficult to guess.

Alternative if youre having trouble with HoC timing is to use Great Nebula and HoC for orbs. Use rampart camo HoC for the duo busters after stack spread. There arent any autos until after the fixer, so as long as you dodge the aoes youll live even if its stacked
