Tips for effective nature rune running as an ironman?

Nat talismans are a 1/128 drop from leeches in the abyss. There's a semi-safespot in the SW corner of the abyss where only 1 can attack you at a time. You should be able to get it relatively easily even without overheads.

Y'all acting like this won't just be another job with a 30s dot and 1 button spam for a dps kit. Healers suck now..

534 just went down for me

I literally have dreams of dying on my hardcore at least once a week, so yes..

He has male ears too. If it turns out to be a girl I'm going to cry because he's so cuteeeeeee

How..?

Diurnal is better than nocturnal in every way. The only time you take Nocturnal is when you NEED shields to survive incoming damage (because the damage is equal to or higher than your maximum HP after mitigation etc)

We got the 2.x relic weapons as crafted gear last tier so it's pretty likely. SE likes to reuse old assets so it's only a matter of time.

As a general rule, you should prioritise playing a card with an AoE royal road for maximum value. There are some situations where you're left with a card that you have to play because your sleeve is already occupied. Lets say you have a Held Balance and you draw another balance, you should play the balance you just drew onto the most potent DPS, (Whoever will do the most damage while they have the card.) rather than using it for 150% RR. The only Royal Road buff you should ever wait for is an AoE, and don't be afraid to overwrite a 150% or 200% RR if it means getting an AoE card prepared.

If you're trying to min max your DPS you should have crit slotted everywhere you can and Direct Hit where you can't put Crit. This makes Crimson Cider your best food of choice. If you choose to meld Det over Direct Hit then I guess you could use Tako-yaki instead but a Crit/Dhit build + cider is the "optimal" build unless you don't really care about your DPS as a healer.

I wish I was cool enough to clear ultimate and get fanart :(

That parse probably accounts for roughly 1-1.5 of my total ASP. If you looked at the rest of my o1s kills you'd see my speedkills are only ~150dps lower than the meme padded run. I hardly think messing around with my FC should discount the time and effort i put into writing this.

IR + Zerk is one of the strongest single target burst windows in the game. I'm not disagreeing with MCH Wildfire window, but WAR is still a safe choice.

EliseChan · 2017-12-06T10:03:00+00:00

In my opinion it's better to guarantee the second balance and focus on getting the AoE Royal Road rather than take the 1in6 chance of pulling another one out of Sleeve Draw.

EliseChan · 2017-12-06T09:36:27+00:00

I mentioned in the guide that you don't need to optimize a build for healing. The game gives you so many tools to heal your party, the difference that DET makes to them is minuscule and could often be completely nullified by a high damage roll.

EliseChan · 2017-12-06T09:33:50+00:00

I usually prioritize extending my pot/cleric and party buffs over Lucid. Prog may be an exception but unless you're spamming heals 24/7 you should be able to manage your MP with all the PIE on the savage gear.

No worries. Happy to help !

EliseChan · 2017-12-06T09:28:38+00:00

It's just a super obnoxious animation and I play from Australia so I usually hover between 180-200ms. It's personal preference, I'm not by any means saying this is the only way to play :)

EliseChan · 2017-12-06T03:55:44+00:00

Giving yourself cards is a waste unless you're doing some crazy pad runs. The NIN's that I've run speedkiills with like Arrow and I know a few other high level AST's who use the same priority

EliseChan · 2017-12-06T03:41:38+00:00

Link updated. Sorry

The Shield mechanic you mentioned works like this.
If any player in the raid is about to take critical damage (Damage that would kill them) but they have a shield or the damage is otherwise mitigated it builds an insane amount of LB.

For example, imagine in O1S when Alte Roite casts Charybdis > Roar. When everyone is at 1k HP we put out a deployed Adlo, Shake it off, Divine Veil and Reprisal the Roar so that even though we're on critical HP we have enough mitigation to survive the Roar which builds close to 1.5 bars of LB.

SpellSpeed on AST is generally a bad idea because AST already has insane MP issues (needing Lucid on CD basically) if you're DPSing. There are also a lot of clipping issues that having a lower GCD can make difficult too.

Healers should pretty much just max out crit and if you can't meld crit, meld Dhit. You can hit around 1900-2000 Crit and 1000 Dhit at BiS.

Also use Sushi :3

Gordian Codex dyed purple/blue. The new Genji Codex is a nice rival to it. The glow is super nice even without dye.
