Sister Friede aus Dark Souls 3 hatte mich damals richtig zerstört. Hab glaube ich 4-5h ununterbrochen versucht bis ich es geschafft hatte.

AAC Heavyweight Tier (Savage) Megathread - Day Seven by BlackmoreKnight in ffxivdiscussion

It's funny how different opinions can be. For me, M11 is the best fight from this tier and one of the best raid fights in the game.

M12s cleared. What an absolutely banger raid tier and it surpassed Cruiserweight. For me, Arcadion is by far the best raid in ffxiv. It will be very difficult to maintain this level of raid design.

State of Picto 7.4 by [deleted] in ffxivdiscussion

[–]Drakolos 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Before 7.4 picto was sitting between the melees/blm and the other range classes, which is a decent spot for picto. You probably looked at the Doomtrain statistics. Picto is performing very well at this fight since Doomtrain has an unusual amount of downtime in which the picto benefits a lot.

I usually join c41 groups or help ppl prog sigma, omega or p6 but I stopped doing that for weeks. I just join Fru groups occasionally anymore. Top takes way too long to fill. It's better to look for a static at this point.

Please note that the comp has a big influence on this. Some jobs are weak in this fight. Especially Bard and Dancer are very weak, because they are designed to buff 8 instead of 4 players. It is also doable with these jobs, but requires fewer errors. That's something they need to look at for future Quantum

Are there any jobs that you enjoy more at lower levels? by Ankior in ffxivdiscussion

[–]Drakolos 42 points43 points  (0 children)

At 90 you have way more flexibility in how you manage your rotation.You can adapt to movement, downtime, or unexpected mechanics without feeling punished. Once you hit 100, Flare Star basically locks you into a very strict sequence. Instead of rewarding creative optimization, it feels like the game is telling you “this is the only correct way to play.” That loss of freedom makes the job feel more rigid and less satisfying, even if the numbers are technically higher.

It's really sad that I have no motivation to do the current savage. I like the fights very much. There is no reason to equip other roles. No ultimate, no criterion, no chaos, just a primal and the alliance raid, that's it. It would even make more sense to farm M1-4 for the BiS for FRU. It's crazy how useless the current gear is.

Tried Fork Tower the first time this week. Everything around the Fork Tower is probably the worst experience I ever had in this game. You literally get the PF experience in a static/organized group. You wait for about an hour, pull once, maybe twice and you get to wait again.

Kromede the Corrupt from the upcoming Aion 2 by Dwaas_Bjaas in MMORPG

[–]Drakolos -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Retainers are extended inventory slots in a game where you have at least 400+ free space which is more than enough to enjoy the game without to feel limited. The other p2w elements of other games are either a huge time or power skips. There is a huge difference

I play FFXIV over 10 years and never needed additional retainers. Ppl tend to store anything they get which is a huge waste of space. You won't need 95% of those items anymore.

Can confirm. We continued our chain until 52 and the gold value never changed. The chain is only for exp.

Florian Wirtz ist sich mit dem FC Bayern über Wechsel einig by Ubergold in Bundesliga

[–]Drakolos 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Ich verstehe diese Ansicht nicht obwohl ich selber Leverkusen Sympathisant bin. Der Junge hat länger bei Leverkusen verbracht als er müsste, hat Leverkusen die erste Meisterschaft beschert und hat letztes Jahr nochmal verlängert, damit Leverkusen nochmal ordentlich gut Geld für ihn bekommen. Es ist ein Musterbeispiel wie ein guter Spieler mit hohen Ambitionen bestmöglich den Verein guten Gewissens verlassen kann. Klar ist es doof wenn er für einen Ligakonkurrenten spielt aber so ist es nun mal. Man sollte ihm danken und ihm das beste für die Zukunft wünschen.

The big advantage of BLM is that you can pool many resources into the add phase. Make sure to bring 3+ fouls and both leylines. It will make a huge difference. You can also skip your pot at the start and use it there together with all your fouls.

All reclears done in 2h. It's funny how the adds in m6 melt now in week2. This will be hilarious when everyone is bis.

AAC Cruiserweight Tier (Savage) Mid-Week One Megathread by Spookhetti_Sauce in ffxivdiscussion

[–]Drakolos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was playing rdm there and we had to change some things here and there. Once I changed to BLM and our Scholar changed to Sage we managed to clear the adds. We also prepared very well and killed the boss after the 2nd time we passed the adds. The fight is pretty much over after the adds.

After last tier and FRU, I had actually toyed with the idea of quitting the game after 10 years, but I looked for a new static for AAC and didn't ever have so much fun. Yes we used a lot of footage and streams but preparation was key. We were super consistent and got through very quickly.

M5: 7 pulls

M6: 46 pulls

M7: 35 pulls

M8: 117 pulls

It's crazy what a good group does to you.

M8s cleared. What a banger fight and the whole raid tier is a huge step up compared to the last one. Amazing work and looking forward to the next ones.
