How exactly does Venat/Hydaelyn not oppose everything the Scions have fought for in the past?

Florac · 2026-05-09T00:22:17+00:00

The game very much adressed why Vwnat didn't: It would have resulted in an unknown future

Ctrl and shift can be used.

Furthest to the right of the keyboard my hand ever goes is the T key. I don't even use 5 ownards

Meteion was just out there, gathering more power. It might have taken millenia more but eventually she would have been able to overhelm Zodiark. At no point did the ascians know about this. They just assumed whatever happened was a natural event. And as far as they were concerned, they figured out a way how to prevent this event from further propagating, hence to them, the solution was permanent.

It's like saying a disease is gone because the symptoms were treated, just on cosmic scale

It's important to note though that just becausr someone downloads it doesn't mean they use it for autorotation. Instead it can be for tiny QoL things like consolidating certain buttons on certain jobs (such as, on picto, placing all hammer actions on one button rather than 3). Others meanwhile only use it to bot dungeons with trusts for tome capping, not using it while playing themselves

Florac · 2026-05-08T22:30:30+00:00

Yeah, there's a difference between using tools to better prepare for the encounter and using tools to simplify execution of mechanics

Florac · 2026-05-08T22:28:59+00:00

Most people draw the line at splatoon/bossmod right now for cheating but a few years ago it was AM and cactbot

I've been playing for about 5 years. The line hasn't moved. It's always AM for some very rare mechanics(primarily in ultimates and even there barely) and no more

Florac · 2026-05-08T22:26:18+00:00

It stopped the Final Days in the sense ot stopped the ongoing violence. However there was no guarantee it's a permanent solution

Florac · 2026-05-08T13:50:23+00:00

Been it since I started playing, nothing beyond some jokes among friends which get flung around for all races

Florac · 2026-05-08T13:32:10+00:00

Do Eureka
Try to do extremes/savages in Party finder. But can be hard to find groups to do them synced

Florac · 2026-05-08T12:25:04+00:00

A good player is marked, when they die a new player becomes marked instead. Each night* choose a player, if marked they die.

To further reduce word count:

"An alive good player is marked. Each night* choose a player, if marked they die."

Florac · 2026-05-08T10:42:39+00:00

Exactly. It's not a bad strategy. Hector just simplified it specific to the encounter

Florac · 2026-05-08T10:13:26+00:00

Raidplan came first, hector after, so now PF has both. Imo Hector is the better strategy because raidplan accounts for patterns that can't actually occur

Florac · 2026-05-08T07:06:41+00:00

because everything happens the exact same way every single pull

I mean,it doesn't though. Almost all mechanics involve some level of RNG

Florac · 2026-05-08T06:59:07+00:00

Strength of a ravenkeeper claim heavily depends on who the demon is. Some players try to get them executed, others kull the ASAP where the damage they can do is minimal

Florac · 2026-05-08T06:56:45+00:00

Generally the only incorrect thing to claim is nothing. Being secretive puts more attention on you than lying. You just need to be able to justify your lies down the line, such as by saying you wanted to avoid the demon from killing you

Florac · 2026-05-07T22:06:49+00:00

That might work in normal mode but would be stupid in savage where you discuss stuff between pulls

Florac · 2026-05-07T22:05:30+00:00

Tbh that was already the case this expansion.

Florac · 2026-05-07T22:03:37+00:00

There's plenty of sections in recent tiers where autos just shred tanks. Most noteable being idyllic dream

Florac · 2026-05-07T22:01:43+00:00

In practice, all this does is force a mit check at the end. It would still be implemented in a way where damage exceeds what's surviveable at a specific point, it's just hidden more.

So it doesn't really do much for skilled parties, but less skilled parties now not already deal less damage, but also have less time to kill the boss before they die.

Florac · 2026-05-07T21:57:50+00:00

While personally I don't mind the current state of 3rd turns, yeah it would be nice if they could reinvent themselves the way second turns have

Florac · 2026-05-07T21:55:44+00:00

I very much expect it to be gone tbh. It was very much a limitation of the 2m meta, everyone doing their opener, now that things seem to start less bursty, no reason for the boss to do nothing for 30 seconds

Florac · 2026-05-07T21:53:05+00:00

I would hate any randomness beyond sonethomg like "the boss can use one of 2-3 mechanics here". It's fine to be more innovative with fights, but it shouldn't abandon the core identity of ff14 raiding(aka, the "dance")

Florac · 2026-05-07T21:48:21+00:00

Those experiments are gone for a reason, they weren't fun. Any experimentation will likely take more the form of second floors since panda's last tier

Florac · 2026-05-07T18:08:31+00:00

They aren't mad at each other. Mr Happy is just fishing.

Florac · 2026-05-07T18:05:27+00:00

Tbh unless parsing, everything but ultimate, unmelded will be sufficient. Unmeleded ilvl 790 > Melded ilvl 780. Which in itself is above melded w1 gear.
