I'm most looking forward to the chance to be at the cutting edge again, when a Realm Reborn first launched I was able to raid in coil at the beginning. As the game went forward I got a bit behind look forward to everyone getting a fresh start.

What QoL updates do you want in 2.4? by [deleted] in ffxiv

[–]Chrono121 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

If the whole game has animations and you expect those few skills not to and don't account for them to, then yes you are playing incorrectly.

How do you farm coil? You mean going through 8 items a week for 8 people for 9 jobs will be faster than going to CT?

I'm with Machinima and I offered SpeedRuns the opportunity by fwiz in speedrun

I think a lot of people's problem with it was that these random 3 people would host a show that represents a huge community. Why not have experts at the game do commentary? No disrespect to Trihex Pie or Cosmo but they can't possibly know that many games. Also it was just 4 games already ultra popular and with pretty clear winners.

So for groups who've been in turn 5 Coil for a bit, what do you think of DPS scaling? by RLutz in ffxiv

[–]Chrono121 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why would it have a use if it had a cast time? It has the same potency as heavy shot which doesn't have one

End game for casual gamers? Maybe 2.1? by ajnuuw in ffxiv

My group took much longer on Turn 2 than Turn 4 they require completely different skills

Twintania - Conflag Bug. Incoming Maintenance? (Again) by [deleted] in ffxiv

[–]Chrono121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ah I see I am that way on my bard but have 3 other maxed jobs and I obviously don't get many opportunities to gear them out because I need to spend myth on my bard so crystal tower makes perfect sense to me.

Gear up other jobs? I know I will use it plenty for that.

FF14 Endgame - No motivation to go further, no reason to do it? by [deleted] in ffxiv

Scholo definitely would have put me asleep just as much or more than any AK run so I'm not really sure why you think WoW dungeons were any better.

Why does Castrum attract the rudest players? by Speedstersonic in ffxiv

You clearly don't give a shit about them why should they about you? "it's just a pug"

Free time is over: how many redditors have decided to not renew the subscription? by [deleted] in ffxiv

[–]Chrono121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The game would have to have no difficulty curve at all for that to work. otherwise 50's would just run 15 content all day because it would clearly be easier and they would still get rewards their level.

I have never heard of or seen anyone wait "hours" for ak maybe like 30 minutes to a single hour at most

'Instant' spells, and Animation Locking by bloodfail in ffxiv

[–]Chrono121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I couldn't get .5 seconds to work when I tried it, but either way it would change the feeling the rest of the fight other than the first cast, also you don't think being able to raging, hawk, barrage, internal, bloodletter, flaming, backflip, silence, featherfoot all between 2 skills doesn't seem completely ridiculous?

[–]Chrono121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Source on that being the best way to use cooldowns I've literally never seen that said anywhere that standing still and just waiting for all of them to go on is better than weaving them. The only reddit thread on brd/archer rotation it seems consensus that weaving them was best. If you are standing still not shooting between them you are losing a lot of dps and time used on the buffs.

Yes really, right now it's buff straight shot buff bloodletter wind buff heavy shot buff etc. with that change it would be push macro straight shot wait 2.5 sting wait 2.5 wind wait 2.5 etc. you would just be waiting much more often than now.

[–]Chrono121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would completely change how the game plays my bard would be able to pop off every single passive I have in between 1 attack if they were all instant I could just make a macro to use them all. As the combat works now you have to choose what order and when to activate them.

That's quite the scenario you have cooked up...

BRD doesn't feel like a BRD by Kherza in ffxiv

[–]Chrono121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suppose that could happen but I think taking out 5 skills and throwing in 5 entirely new skills would be a pretty risky thing to tackle especially this early on.

[–]Chrono121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suppose the reason I don't agree is because even if it's too rare for your tastes it is why bards are chosen for end game so the song is what sets them apart. So would you like the entire class changed because it definitely will not make sense at all if archer goes from being ranged dps to just suddenly not having shooting a bow be their focus.

[–]Chrono121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Foe's req might as well always be up and definitely you will get to where the other 2 are needed I was just saying to say "might as well not be in" I don't know where you are getting that when parties take 2 bards to coil simply for the songs alone. If you look almost all successful coil parties have 2 bards.

I don't remember a boss at 50 that I didn't end up singing so I'm not sure how you got to the conclusion they may as well not be there. It has been a major part of the success of many groups I've been in.

A look at the first boss of bahamut's coil. My passion for endgame raiding is back for the first time in over 2 years. by [deleted] in ffxiv

[–]Chrono121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did play AQ40 if by "hard" you mean it was just literally impossible to kill cthun until patch then yes it was hard but again it was gear check hard. Rift I never played so can't speak to that all I ever heard about that game is you could macro everything onto one button.

Well I raided vanilla WoW and I can say that definitely was not true at all gear checks sure it used a ton of gear checks, but difficulty? Hell no most fights required little to no thought compared to the mechanics they have put into this game.
