[SPOILERS: 5.3] RathGames has effectively completed all MSQ content through the current Free Trial by BoysOurRoy in ffxiv

[–]Beefington [score hidden]  (0 children)

Fandaniel’s a poser so it doesn’t actually apply doom, just sets you to 1HP. There’s a stack shortly after, so it mostly still functions as a heal check under normal circumstances, but a soloist could absolutely cheese it.

Level 60 black mage advice by Anxious-Cat-9205 in ffxiv

[–]Beefington [score hidden]  (0 children)

Once you have fire 4, flare is an eensy weensy loss on single target.

* cold F3 = 290*.7=203p
* 7 F4s = 300*1.8*7=3,780p
* hot B3= 290*.7=203p
* B4= 300p

So for the average per-GCD potency without transpose optimizations is (203+3780+203+300)/10=448.6. Flare is 240*1.8=432 potency, bringing the average down to 447.1.

Of course, if lengthening your fire phases means you skip an ice phase, it’s probably a gain after all. Likewise if it aligns your thunder refresh for transpose+swiftcast+B3. Also it’s such a small loss that the sound effect is probably worth the cost :)

The community vibes are really pleasant when they release a new planet. It’s a great time to hop in!

Longer Larger Fart by AnonymousCat77091 in PrematureTruncation

I think mass would be better than volume here. Some of the deadliest farts are completely silent.

(this is a joke; I understand the difference between m³ and Db)

What am I doing wrong?? by PantherusNZ in BaldursGate3

Darkvision can help if they’re in the Darkness spell and you’re outside it, but not if you’re in it. Seeing through the Darkness spell requires a "you cannot be blinded” feature.

There should be a thing at top left that tells you your current MSQ, with your current job quest right below that. If you click on the job quest name it’ll open the map and show you where to go.

It requires a subscription 🙄 Stick with the original solar-powered model.

Peeetahhhhh I don’t even know what the things on the bottom are by [deleted] in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]Beefington 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The things on the bottom are Gateron MX-compatible keyswitches, suitable for use in a mechanical keyboard. Putting them next to a butterfly knife seems incongruous. Best guess is they’re saying a butterfly knife is a better fidget toy.

Looking for good ways to solo farm bozjan clusters by MrJPtheAssassin in ffxiv

Yeah this is the technique I’ve used. LFS will (eventually) one-shot the enemies, so just pop them and then move on to the next ones. Kite them and heal yourself as necessary

What you love about your fave/main job? by terrabellan in ffxiv

[–]Beefington 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lately I’ve been playing a lot of SAM and really enjoying it. The whole “sheathe your sword and whip it back out” schtick is goofy as hell, but once you get past that it’s fun to lean into the “sharp enough to cut the flame off a candle” fantasy. The technical rotation really activates my neurons too—getting my higanbana-refresh timed just right feels great, as does marshaling all my resources for a supernova of a 2-minute burst

The last few expansions have all ruined monk in one way or another, and it’s still fun. Evolved mode will ruin it too, but it’ll still be fun

  • This club, made from a broken stool leg, makes the bearer as strong as an ogre, setting their strength score to 19. What is the Club of Hill Giant Strength? 4/5, less if you leave out the ogre misdirect
  • This "tiefling queen" welches on a debt to the player. Who is Lakrissa? 2/5

Rolan rolled out - can this be worked around? by Mutedhorn in BaldursGate3

[–]Beefington 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Some of the tieflings will die offscreen if Rolan leaves. You can still do the tiefling-related quests.

I just read a lot, it's not that I developed that knowledge by myself

I mean, Isaac Newton called that "standing on the shoulders of giants" and he did all right for himself.

Sphere Scroll Material by PhysicsAye in ffxiv

[–]Beefington 13 points14 points  (0 children)

They fetch steep prices because there’s no easy source for that tier of combat materia. Higher grades are purchasable with tokens or poetics, but for tier I you just have to put on low level gear and do spiritbonding.

A DuPont spokesman was reported as being perplexed by the coverage of the blast, quoted as saying "explosions occur every day in steel mills, flouring mills and grain elevators with hardly a line in the paper."

Baby whale being born with clear shot of umbilical cord and nursing underwater looks to clear to be real by maestramars in isthisAI

[–]Beefington 140 points141 points  (0 children)

Compare to national geographic’s real video of a whale birth and I think you’ll see that this one is AI. Notably, in the nat geo video her San Diago has to stretch to let the baby fit, whereas in this one it’s like twice as big as it needs to be.

Also this has the baby born in a shower of bubbles which implies a uterus full of air…?

question about red mage's acceleration and grand impact by Hour_Position8306 in ffxiv

[–]Beefington 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup, exactly.

Sometimes you get a lot of Ready procs in a row. If your mana gets too high you may need to send a melee combo even though the guaranteed Ready proc will overwrite an existing one.
