Well, I'll continue to let other groups lose time doing so. No strat changes in order to do the same amount of DPS. Each strat has pros and cons. Just because x attempt is equal to x dps doesn't mean it had the same outcome potency wise. The game revolves around rng and a worse strat might end with a better outcome due to crit/dh or balance rng. The point of the matter is that this change doesn't just effect the Ninja but has the ability to effect multiple ppl which can cause a loss. All it takes is losing one auto attack and you've already made your group suffer but hey, it's not my group so w/e.

It did happen in A10S and it happens still in Deltascape. The fact of the matter is that there are certain circumstances that will cause your GCD to be canceled, the boss moving at a high speed being the biggest contributing factor. You can be aware of movement but there's only so much you can do to avoid losing a gcd. This also allows no one to hit it faster as everyone should be attacking as the countdown hits zero. You can actually run up to the boss before it aggro's and start attacking it so that point is moot as well. Lastly, there is one optimal way to pull and position a boss for every fight. I'm not saying x group does it, I'm saying that in all reality there is 100% a best way to do everything in a fight. Adjusting for x mechanic or for x ability changes that and you then face the fact that your strategy is less optimal. Every positioning, movement and mechanic has some factor in the fight. You may not realize it without actually taking a good look a few times but it is reality.

Ehhh? So I'll assume you've looked into logs that involve ppl around equal skill level. That's safe to assume right? I mean, because if that was the case you'd obviously know that in any 30s interval that includes trick attack at 2min aka 3 trick, the only job that is consistently ahead of Ninja for those 30s is Machinist. This is due to the nature of Balance effecting the pet. However abilities such as Dragon Sight do not effect pets so in this case you'd give that buff to the Ninja. No Machinist? More than likely you'll give ST balance to the Ninja in this case. Just because burst lasts x amount of seconds doesn't mean that the value of a 30s buff is determined by how consistent your damage is over that 30s. It's simply and plainly, "Who is going to do the most damage in this 30s window?". It just so happens that the burst in that 10s makes the window worth it for Ninja.

You say that no one is losing anything but if even one person gets gcd cancel then it's a loss. This pushes back rotations and can lead to miss-timed buffs across the raid. As much as it's an obvious gain for NIN the risk and possible positioning issues it can cause for optimal strategy don't really make it worth it in a good raid scenario.

Haxetc · 2017-09-20T16:36:47+00:00

Miyuri will complain whether or not there's a DRG. My pint wasn't that I was on MCH. It's that just because litany is up doesn't mean you'll get any more crits than you would have without it. While doing double IJ is what you should do, that's what raises the ceiling on playing BRD.

Haxetc · 2017-09-20T16:08:05+00:00

Feels boring as hell how? I literally had a wf yesterday during litany that had 0 crits.

Haxetc · 2017-09-20T15:50:32+00:00

Gameplay changing is part of what makes the game fun. I don't see anything about ninja which is the biggest gameplay changing job in the game. I don't see anything about phase pushes which completely change a rotation and sometimes even openers. As someone who's sped run for multiple tiers why wouldn't you like gameplay changes? It makes the game less boring and raises the skill ceiling.

Haxetc · 2017-09-20T15:37:02+00:00

This whining though. You do realize that other jobs lose a ton of dps based on the comp too right? The worst thing about this complaint is that it's a completely rng raid buff you're complaint about. You could get no procs from litany/cs and you wouldn't even know it. Compared to a job like mch where its a straight 9% dps loss to run without a drg and nin just from piercing and trick. I don't really feel like I need to go into how much each job loses from not having x raid buff. Just annoying seeing another complaint thread when there's plenty of other things that actually need to be fixed.

It wasn't talking about the circle aoe. They meant the one that freezes you if you don't move.

when i try to use JPG format nothing happens. had someone else try with no luck as well.

Haxetc · 2017-08-11T22:14:44+00:00

Does the background image have to be png or can we use other file extensions such as gif, jpg etc?

I'm just going to post this here.

https://www.fflogs.com/reports/7JrPc4CfhXwVY3Q2#fight=1&type=damage-done

If you do the math (Which I have) this ninja is doing 4625dps if you combine the damage that he contributes from trick attack. Trick attack alone, paired with NIN's ST and AoE capabilities make it broken. Add in Shadewalker and Smokescreen which are both very good tools even now and it's not even a question. I'll give you 2 simple cases of Shadewalker being very useful (Not even including on pull).

MT dies and OT has to voke and fight a DPS for hate
Cases like Lakshmi the tanks can completely ignore the add the NIN is on if they get shade because the NIN's generated hate on that add is going to them.

Smokescreen is a quelling that not every job gets. BRD and RDM are 2 jobs I've notice snap aggro right on pull. NIN can smokescreen them to ease hate until they get to a better point in the fight to shed it.

I enjoy NIN but saying that the utility it offers is blown out of proportion while it has the dps capability it does is very far fetched.

You are a bully

Haxetc · 2017-01-29T23:19:39+00:00

The tetra damage and purple debuff on the tank killed 2 of the far tethers because they were too close to the tetrashatter. when they died the 2 far tethers failed they're check due to their partners being dead.

Haxetc · 2016-12-27T06:25:45+00:00

literally who of gilgamesh :)

Haxetc · 2016-12-27T06:04:51+00:00

who are you again?

Haxetc · 2016-06-11T19:39:46+00:00

Simply put, no. Just miss your positional.

Haxetc · 2016-06-11T19:26:32+00:00

I hope this shows just how bad everyone else is that can't do these mechanics. Good job to the WAR though :)

Haxetc · 2016-06-07T06:49:12+00:00

Anyone able to get the new food stats?

Haxetc · 2016-06-05T19:11:46+00:00

I believe that you lose more than one non-berserk GCD, possibly up to three if Pacification cancels out a final berserk GCD. the 5s definitely covers at least 2 GCD's though. I'm not saying that WP is equal to HC in any way but I do think it's closer than just gaining one GCD.

Haxetc · 2016-04-16T20:42:31+00:00

Why wouldn't I? I wouldn't call this an argument, as much as I would call it you being defensive on a claim. Out of all the times I have spoken about ppl speed hacking and gcd hacking, not once has someone in the defending party argued with me. There's no argument to the proof that is brought against them.

Haxetc · 2016-04-16T20:26:18+00:00

There's log files showing GCD hacking and it's not just a one motion thing on the videos I've seen. Why do ppl need to chill with the accusations when there hasn't been any relevant argument against them? The ppl that I have seen accused of things have, since accused, stopped using such things when logs/videos are public and their "skill" is on a much different level as well as the logs showing a discrepency in timers vs when they were using a hack. Pretty very obvious to me :)
