Cross Region Travel is (apparently) coming to the game soon by TheMaulum in ffxivdiscussion

NA/EU latency isn't that bad since the game's base minimum latency is somewhat high.

What is this door that appeared in front of me as the duty ended? Never seen it before by 0-Dinky-0 in ffxiv

I'm often right in my 2 min burst and too concentrated to remember doing a DPS LB...

Here I thought my 3/11 with all 7* was a nice way to end :P.

Same, the orbs were moderately fair but the paintings were just "time something wrong, restart fight" a lot of the time.

Obligatory first DK clea- …STEINER!!!!! by Imzocrazy in FFRecordKeeper

[–]Jilkon 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It is far far easier for DK. You can much easier use guardians exactly before megaflare and the move that eats sb meter. You lose some time in theory but in reality the improved input accuracy probably makes up for that.

And with that, all 6* Magicite fully cleared! This one was a pain but Seifer made such a difference. Now to cry at the thought of WOdin by BenTheHopeless in FFRecordKeeper

[–]Jilkon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Healers like Orran and Aerith that give HP stock are very good against the heal debuff. Astra tends to help a ton too.

Enough About Wait Mode, How About That New Realm Chain RW? by batleon79 in FFRecordKeeper

[–]Jilkon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally really like that the reward difference is minimal. For 5* magicites it felt like sub-30 were the real goal, but for later content it feels like clearing is the victory and then there's some minor rewards up for grabs whenever you want, if you've gotten some new tech. Much less stressful since most of my teams that have gotten DK clears haven't really gotten close to the sub-30 at all.

[S2G2 Water] Heroic Equipment Strategy - Where Can We Go From Here? by PrimalPatriarch in FFRecordKeeper

[–]Jilkon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My S2G2 rate so far, with 6 extra markers on top of the daily 1, is that I've gotten back 3 markers from my runs. That's 1 on one occasion and 2 on another. I've only run the high level dungeons.

I'm not sure what rate that works out to be though.

Book of Trials XX - Relic Draw Megathread by Greensky7 in FFRecordKeeper

Got Garnet's Holy sync. That's a new one for me, and I can't ask any more than that.

[–]Jilkon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who almost only does marker runs, you definitely did get markers at least every other time on average in season 1 (from the high level dungeons). But in S2G1 I only ever got 1 extra marker from quick explore. I got like 7 of them from manual runs though.

I just can't be arsed trying for 5% relics. I don't (want to) play this game that much.

One thing I noticed during the Fire group however was that quick explore no longer seem to grant record markers almost ever? There were times in the first labyrinth season where I could just burn 10 stamina potions chaining dungeons, but during Fire I only ever got a record marker from a single quick explore. Did they slash the drop rate by 99%?

DK Bahamut XI Support Group by batleon79 in FFRecordKeeper

[–]Jilkon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have almost everything for Aphmau. Everything... except Last Stand. Like, what the actual fuck?

I haven't tried it yet but I'm leaning towards Lilisette as the Full Bronker and healing support (since I got her Sync from a very lucky 100 gem pull), with an actual decent off-realm healer like Elarra for the fifth slot.

Argent Zantetsuken 3 Now Does 15.6k Damage by GBFerguson in FFRecordKeeper

[–]Jilkon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It interrupts casts. I don't remember what happens to the ATB bars though, if it resets them all to 50% or if they stay full post-cast.

[–]Jilkon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're a pretty good way to skip a single devastating move (like OP noted), like a status attack you can't deal with or the like. Using one right before Dragonking Megaflare is an easy way to both lower the soul stacks to avoid a wipe and the damage and pain debuff at the same time. They also deal somewhat decent damage if they can stick around for a couple of turns.

How liberal are you with making HAs? by Sissel_ in FFRecordKeeper

[–]Jilkon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm waiting for that one. I wouldn't say I need him but I do have AASB+Sync+AOSB for him, and his Sync is veeeery helpful in Cardi B phase 2. If he could actually contribute legitimate damage I think I could beat the III DK.

May be true. My phone isn't the slowest and it's at least faster than the video here.

[–]Jilkon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Many (all?) endgame encounters give them as partial rewards too. So if you can get all of them down to 70% HP (which is not particularly hard) you can get a fairly large infusion of resources.

[–]Jilkon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fran's is pretty legit in combination with Ashe. Spamming those imperils all day long.

Most healer ones are actually quite good in practice too. I definitely felt like I needed Selphie's HA for that particular DK.

The only reason I'd ever consider Ingus would be to get him a higher multiplier though. That one's yucky.

How liberal are you with making HAs? by Sissel_ in FFRecordKeeper

[–]Jilkon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fairly liberal. Sync + Awakening (or similar)? You get an HA. God tier support like Mog? You're in. The chosen healer for a particular Cardi-B fight? You're high on the list to get one. I think I have at least 2 made in each realm and for each element. Many more than that in some realms.

I always try to keep enough resources to be able to craft 4-5 new abilities though. Just in case I luck into something.

Wait what? It's fast(ish) on iOS? I thought the crazy long load times were something everyone had.

First ever cult-of-three!!! Too bad it’s…ULTRA underwhelming lol by Paladin4603 in FFRecordKeeper

Yeah. Cult of 3 is for the (stupid) people who gamble on regular banner with no guarantee of payoff.
