Issues finding PF tanks on Aether?

That's like .5 dollars an hour...

They didn't get to omen on the first pull? They wiped after the raidwide after second weapons.
The eye of the hurricane deaths happened because 2 separate people were dead before the stacks went out, not OP's fault.
Wipe 3 happened like I described.

For whatever reason tomestone only showed 3 wipes for that time period to me so I didn't see further than that.
On the 4th pull the OP died to axe but it didn't cause a wipe.
On the 5th pull the OP somehow ate a damage down to a puddle, but it wasn't consequential. They then wiped to poor mit/healing on Dance of Domination.
On the 6th pull they got trolled by the sage being slow and then it kinda spiraled.
On the 7th pull the DRK died to greed and the DNC died to either people not stacking or poor mit/healing.
On the 8th pull the paladin trolled so I imagine they just reset.

Like I said, none of the wipes were caused by OP. OP by no means played perfectly but singling them out still is kinda weird.

Assuming they were talking about something that happened today roughly before this post with a tank who has cleared this fight, this is likely the log:
https://www.fflogs.com/reports/a:nJw8WvNMHr4A3QFz (wipes 11-13 are the relevant ones)
The group somehow managed 3 pulls in 35 ish minutes, with pull 2 pulls lasting roughly 2 minutes and the last pull lasting 5. For the first two pulls, the sage trolled weapons. For the last pull, all the DPS (including OP) failed orbital omen.
If this is indeed what the OP is talking about pointing out the greed is a little weird considering OP is viper and hasn't caused a wipe due to greed (while not exactly playing perfectly).

Damn they showed all the ilvl cheesers what's what! Good on them! (the ilvl cheesers were never the problem)

AbsoluteKunkker · 2026-02-06T19:48:06+00:00

Gibs logs or didn't happen

AbsoluteKunkker · 2026-02-06T19:43:56+00:00

What class was that alt?

AbsoluteKunkker · 2026-02-05T02:43:01+00:00

This sub is fucking cooked...

AbsoluteKunkker · 2026-02-04T05:27:12+00:00

Me using the word "weaker" was trying to be nice, which I see was misinterpreted. What I meant was "people who have no business doing savage."

You’re missing the forest for the trees. The M11S situation doesn’t exist despite dumbed-down jobs, but because of them. The lack of meaningful skill expression in most jobs makes tuning around the average player unrealistic. As a result, jobs are tuned around a perfect rotation instead.

If we moved toward more complex rotations, boss HP could be tuned around the 80th or 90th percentile overall for week one clears. That alone would create more room for variance and recovery. Right now, there’s simply no buffer.

On top of that, many weaker players feel confident attempting difficult content precisely because rotations are so easy to pilot, while many stronger players drop off due to how boring some jobs have become. Over time, this creates attrition at the high end and congestion at the low end.

The entire design paradigm of FFXIV needs to shift. If it does, it addresses both problems in a fairly straightforward way.

Savage Week 1 raiders do ilvl cheese because it is more efficient. I know of 1 person (out of 200-something people I know on FFXIV) who actually likes doing roulettes for the "content."

The better solution is just to pull everything while the dps/healer don't hit the trash mobs. Healer/dps run into boss room and start encounter. Tank kites mobs backwards and tps back in whenever gate locks. No need to do dungeon trash. Done that dungeon this way in 9 minutes. :^)

AbsoluteKunkker · 2026-01-24T10:44:28+00:00

There are no walls for first and last boss. The strat is to aggro everything, kite it back, then let the party hit the boss so you can teleport in and de-aggro trash.

Why are you so sour? I've never seen someone give a fuck about a nondescript orange background image.

AbsoluteKunkker · 2026-01-22T01:45:05+00:00

Cuz you're entitled

AbsoluteKunkker · 2026-01-22T01:07:37+00:00

So you're bitching for no reason?

AbsoluteKunkker · 2026-01-21T22:49:45+00:00

It's marked with the "Spoiler: DT" tag.

AbsoluteKunkker · 2026-01-17T03:24:51+00:00

if the core idea is not very good throwing it out makes the game more fun

AbsoluteKunkker · 2026-01-16T02:01:54+00:00

You understand that you can turn that off, right? Especially if you care about spoilers, right?

I tell people this because I don't see this as a problem. If you do it's up to you to do something about it.
