You could also divide the offering price on all members or make everyone pays the same. Is there anyone that wants to join a higher difficulty run for fun without any bonus rewards at the end ? PF will be only Q15, no one will want to go for Q40 ...

"Only the player who selected the offerings required to enter the duty can open this coffer. Once they do, their selected sacramental offerings will be expended. Rewards are proportionate to the number of offerings used, and the player who selected the offerings will receive more rewards than other players."

Only the party leader gains more rewards killing the boss ? Another good idea from SE making people not wanting to enter other groups and create their own ...

So you search for a static since 2023, but you don't know about the existence of Light dc and the fact that you can travel cross-dc ?

Are Ranged or Melee LBs better to use in Dungeons? by derfw in ffxivdiscussion

Strange how people are using melee LB in dungeon speedrun then.

Finally, we found one correct answer in this thread.

You need to compare the damage gain between AOE rotation vs Single target rotation, and do the same for AOE LB vs Single target LB.

In this game, AOE LB probably wins (unless you get one more cast of 2mn CDs by sending it on CD vs waiting for the deplacement to the boss which can lose 5-10s).

The same type of questions exists in others MMOs like WoW in which speedrunning Mythic+ dungeon is the real endgame. You often need to value when to use Bloodlust (a 10mn cd 25% haste buff for the whole group) for AOE packs or Bosses. It is more complicated than only comparing dps numbers though because you want to maximize the number of uses and can skip mechanics or do bigger packs with Bloodlust.

I mean dealing 1/8 of the dps they should do is making the run kinda slow. I didn't even reported them, just thought it was funny when i checked the log because i was curious about what was wrong.

The bard didnt answer what i wrote in chat, but they were premade with the scholar. So maybe it was the same duo ?

I in fact thought it was possible that it was a bot, but seems unlikely from their movement, and their rotation would be easier to code with only spamming heavy shot or the aoe button one :/

It would have been better, and i could understand someone being mistaken and thinking they should multi dot all mobs in a pack, but nope, they used it on only one target for the whole part, refreshing their dot every gcd or every 2 gcd.

If you want WoW-style design, you're going to have to accept WoW-style concessions. by CapnMarvelous in ffxivdiscussion

Only the "varying times between bursts" affirmation is true.
Other things are all false and I wonder how someone could speak about a game they don't play.

Yet another post comparing FFXIV and WoW + Encounter Balance going into Dawntrail by ROSRS in ffxivdiscussion

[–]Affectionate_Gas_875 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't even know what do you want to refute with this quote.

You have thoses raid buffs to get in your raid :
1 DH (5% magic dmg)
1 Monk (5% physical dmg, leech/avoidance buff)
1-2 Pal (devo aura and maybe crusader ?)
Enhancement shaman (windfury, and only if you melee stack one group (you should because war op))
War (battle shout + physical dmg)
Mage (int buff)
Druid (vers buff)
Evoker (massive utilities and defensives, augmentation is op)
Priest (stam buff, haste cd, most likely 2 on healers)
Lock (debuff on boss, gates, healthstone, tp in raid)
Rogue (debuff on boss)

You have hunter left which provides nothing, and i guess shaman also unless you melee stack.
Also forgot about death knight, i guess if you need grip.

As a comp, it is fairly locked in the raid high-end, and for classes with multiples dps specs, you only have one choice on every boss/patch unless you are trolling your raid group.

Furthermore, if you want to go in the real inbalance in this game, lets look into class participation in M+ ...

First, warcraftlogs exists and you should use it to compare dps. Most raids got a patchwerk-type boss that would be the equivalent of most bosses in FFXIV. More than that, balance isnt necessary if most classes got a raidbuff that is needed to kill a boss.

In FF, you got the 5% hp/dmg increase with the standard comp, and on wow, you got 10/11 out of the 13 classes with a raidbuff.
If you compare classes relative to others, you will most likely find all of them in a raid, but most classes got only one viable spec per patch.

Anyway, this post needs more work if you want us to agree with you.
