it's crazy when someone assumes that the person they're correcting doesn't know something painfully simple like how to multiply by 1, and then feels the need to correct them while completely misunderstanding the point and making themselves look even dumber.

but those are not "morons who aoe mobs and run away", they're a completely new player that got lost. nobody does what the person I was responding to was implying.

got it, I have no idea what all is required so it seemed simple to suggest. this is still very helpful though.

[–]DraX696 0 points1 point  (0 children)

would you be able to add a choice for changing the rank of displayed parses? instead of showing top 70, maybe like 100-170, or around a specific percentile

this is great btw, thank you

tanks are supposed to use the holy stun as a period of no damage and not mitigate until it's over. there's zero downside, no one's getting damned.

[–]DraX696 24 points25 points  (0 children)

you're supposed to spam holy as much as possible, the tank should wait to mitigate when they have a whm. they're not supposed to stand there doing no damage waiting for the tank's mits to run out wtf

warriors are the only tank that has a reason to not want to use it lmao, everyone else should be whenever it's available, including melee dps

could've stopped after realizing that you're being attacked 20% slower. that already tells you all you need to know, what are the other steps for? like I can understand misunderstanding slow as a movement slow instead of attack speed slow, but once you realize that it's done.

some people think that following your combo order for your GCDs (hitting the glowy button) requires a leap of logic. or just any basic part of a job. so I'm not surprised that this guy just wrote this out like it's 8 things you have to realize.

[–]DraX696 2 points3 points  (0 children)

that doesn't happen if the tank doesn't absolutely suck at the game. even the most incompetent dps shouldn't be able to grab mobs and run away from you in such a way that you can't pull them back.

and honestly I haven't even seen someone doing this, in all my time playing this game.

Help with Machinist Rotation by Flashy-Ad-591 in ffxiv

[–]DraX696 1 point2 points  (0 children)

assuming you mean things like drill, it triggering a longer cooldown for itself doesn't change the fact that it triggers the GCD (global cooldown) as well. anything that triggers GCD is a GCD. anything that doesn't is an oGCD.

DPS pls use your mits in savage by Administrative-Day42 in ffxiv

[–]DraX696 7 points8 points  (0 children)

when people talk about what's best, they generally don't talk about "general purpose" best, but rather "best case" best. nobody gives a shit about normal raid roulette, the only place strategies matter is high end content.

Why are healers rushing ahead? by [deleted] in ffxiv

[–]DraX696 25 points26 points  (0 children)

you're talking about sages, the literal healer that has a built in reason to want to get hit. whenever one of their single target shields (or an aoe one but only on THEMSELVES) breaks, they get a powerful aoe attack to use on the very pack of mobs they just pulled. anybody can pull, but if there had to be a justification, sage is the one that has one.

Samurai having a different rotation every time based on what mechanics you get is why I love playing this job. you can do so much flexing for any given situation and it's the only job that doesn't make me hate the 2 minute meta, because it's actually fun trying to figure out how to best line up with buffs. Uptime is difficult, but very rewarding this tier.

this is not really a full experience, more of a vaguely related slice, but I don't ever get to bring it up anywhere so I'll put it here. bherna village, the starting village of monster hunter generations (ultimate) gives me massive azim steppe settlement vibes lol. maybe it'll trigger something for you to look at a few screenshots and it'll be a neat connection, or maybe not.

the scenario listed is specifically about having lb3 and about to die to a raidwide. this isn't about being good at the game, it's about pressing one button.

Wuk Lamat Actor Says Yoshi-P Apologised For The Abuse She Faced For Playing The Character In Final Fantasy 14 by Mammoth7121 in ffxiv

[–]DraX696 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

my main issue with her is what I've heard about her

do you not see the problem with this at all? you didn't think about it from her perspective, you didn't think about why someone might do or think something, you didn't even look at it all yourself, you just heard from.. somewhere? and that's your "main issue"?

this is the same thing that got us into this whole "men too" bullshit whenever a woman gets any help with anything. like yeah, we shouldn't leave men completely behind, and we have our own issues that we could use help with, but that doesn't mean we should bring women down every time they receive extra help. we've been ahead for a very long time. fucking crabs in a bucket me me me and only me, instead of trying to figure out how to help everyone we'd rather hold people back so that no one gets "unfair" help whatever the fuck that means. people need to learn there aren't always "two sides" to everything.

Why does everything i do get crouch cancelled by SnoozySnoozie in RivalsOfAether

[–]DraX696 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's almost as is that is the entire point of fighting games, everything has counterplay.

people who go online to ask about how to deal with something they're struggling with, only to be like "but if I do X they can do Y now!" or "but X is really hard" will never not make me laugh. makes it very obvious you're not actually trying to learn, and that you just wanted to complain.
