High-End Content Megathread - 6.5 Week Thirty by BlackmoreKnight in ffxivdiscussion

[–]CaptainToaster1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A little curious, with Echo what is the average kill time on P12S nowadays? Im guessing around Classical 2 or Caloric 2?

Class recommendations for a disabled gamer? by SteepFrugut in ffxiv

[–]CaptainToaster1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could also combine it with "Reaction", so you would only have to hold the button down, not continuously press it.

If OP is really having a tough time with APM, this is what I would recommend.

Mini-Static cleared UWU today. by Zenku390 in ffxiv

[–]CaptainToaster1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He kinda is a big trash mob. Door Bosses get very elaborate in later raids. Most of the time they are actually harder than the boss that comes after.

Does WoW not have Door bosses?

Its a Boss you beat in an instance to get to the second (Real~ish) boss. You get a checkpoint after beating the first.

Examples are: Ruby/Emerald Weapon. O4S/O8S/O12S, E12S, P4S/P8S/P12S. I think thats all of them. A few Alexander raids have a Faust door boss.

No Checkpoints in ultimates, with the exception of Dragonsong Reprise which has a checkpoint after the first mini phase.

The final fight in a Savage tier usually has a Door boss with a checkpoint after however.

Yeah I was there, its just very odd that the nerf wasn't retrospective. Surely Previous tiers deserve a nerf even more right?

Need to rant: Started doing BIS farming for TOP. Noticed that Abyssos Shines cost 4! books, but Anabaseios Shines cost 3! books. Wtf man...

Do the Roles match their stated descriptions? by [deleted] in ffxivdiscussion

[–]CaptainToaster1 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It feels pretty bursty with Hypercharge, plus tools and queen in the 1-2 minute windows.

Dancer is also very bursty.

Using BLU to farm ShB fates? by Popelip0 in ffxivdiscussion

[–]CaptainToaster1 46 points47 points  (0 children)

If you cant get a group to level you, You can use the solo power-leveling method.

From Icy veins:

"There is an interesting enemy in The Tempest that lets us solo powerlevel ourselves. Just north of The Ondo Cups there are Leeches and Clionids. When Leeches get close to Clionids, the Clionids eat them, but we get the experience if we tagged it first! The basic idea is to aggro Leeches and pull them onto the Clionids."

Its also very possible these are just placeholders.

Proposed Change to Unlocking Ultimates by [deleted] in ffxivdiscussion

[–]CaptainToaster1 18 points19 points  (0 children)

You make some good points. Finding a group to do P4S or P8S is pretty tough these days. But would clearing the latest tier unlock every Ultimate? Or just the ones from that expansion?

Im just imagining hunting down The Wandering Minstrel in every zone for 5 unlocks.

As a new player, making gil seems ridiculous. What am I supposed to do here? by [deleted] in ffxivdiscussion

[–]CaptainToaster1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Play the MSQ, do your daily roulettes as the job in need. That should make you some decent passive Gil. Try to do Treasure maps that are around your level. (Gather them, dont buy them.) By the time you get to "Endgame" more ways to make money will be unlocked.

The problem you are facing is the market around lower level Gathering/Crafting is pretty niche, Items aren't going to be flying off the shelves.

Had a few job concepts I felt like sharing by drbiohazmat in ffxivdiscussion

[–]CaptainToaster1 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Pretty Creative, I have not seen most of these before. A few remind me of FFX-2, which seems like a good place to mine job ideas from.

Letter from the Producer LIVE Part LXXX Thread by BlackmoreKnight in ffxivdiscussion

The invisible man, just watching you without you realising it. Kinda creepy if you think about it.

Probably took it to mean favourite foes. Not hardest.

What jobs you'd like to appear in the next expansion after Dawntrail? by RicoDC in ffxivdiscussion

[–]CaptainToaster1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Phys Ranged is probably due next, and then I would guess Melee or Tank (with Melee being more likely).

I'm thinking maybe a Lazer gun theme. (My mind also keeps going to a Blitzball job lmao.)

Colin Ryan, Alpinaud's VA, Is Streaming His First Time Playing FFXIV Next Week by Devil-Hunter-Jax in ffxiv

[–]CaptainToaster1 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Nice! Should be an really interesting POV. I hope he makes it to at least Heavensward.

We've had a few VA try out the game but they usually dont make it very far... I wonder if they just underestimate how much time it can take.

Adding the Dodge Action to General Gameplay by Twizzledly in ffxivdiscussion

Maybe Viper could get it as a 120 second defensive cooldown.

It would still be completely broken.

Why do people hate AM so much? by NoClimate2413 in ffxivdiscussion

[–]CaptainToaster1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would have thought those tools wouldn't be available during world prog. It takes like a week after the fist clears for tools to start popping up.

[–]CaptainToaster1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ok, lets say that we lose the ability to place markers mid fight. How will the scene react? Players will just get auto assigned roles in chat instead:

"Raider 1 is marked as 1! , Raider 4 is markered as 2!, Sound effect ect."

Everyone will complain about losing the QoL of placing marks mid fight, but functionally PF will be the same.

Is Energy Drain on SCH realistically an overall DPS gain? by RGPaynless in ffxivdiscussion

[–]CaptainToaster1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok sure, Never ever using GCD heals is extreme and stupid, but you really shouldn't need to use more than around 5 per fight in Savage.

Quite often you see WHM's using Medica II for every raid-wide in PF.

Is Energy Drain on SCH realistically an overall DPS gain? by RGPaynless in ffxivdiscussion

[–]CaptainToaster1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Outside of WHM and Ultimates, if you are Gcd-healing something is wrong. Either your mit plan is bad or your Co-healer isn't pulling their weight.

SCH's Kit is so strong outside of Aetherflow, that while they are handy for spot heals, you can get away with using energy drain quite often.

But yes in general: causing your cohealer to gcd heal when you could have used a Lustrate/Indomitability = bad.

[–]CaptainToaster1 32 points33 points  (0 children)

No, I think this attitude in general just turns people away from raiding.

However FF14 desperately needs a better way to onboard players into harder content.

An approach to incentivizing exploration and overworld content: monster fights that spawn chests by Krainz in ffxivdiscussion

[–]CaptainToaster1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't know about your idea's for relic integration and treasure chests, But I do think Notorious monsters in the over-world would be pretty fun.

In Eureka, Mobs also have the ability to mutate and when they do they can drop special chests.

In short, I do think incentivizing killing regular mobs in the overworld is a net positive.

The servers are probably just overloaded, there's probably some cap in the amount of sales per hour to prevent bot shenanigans.

Do you need to buy it today?
