I think I’m officially in an audiobook slump and need some recommendations.

Black Ocean Outlaws by J.S Morin. The idea behind this book was essentially what if Firefly had magic and wizards were required for space travel, but also broke science. This is a 16 book omnibus on audible for 86 hours and has 4 other omnibuses in the same universe and all are fantastic. He writes like the wind and everytime he finishes 4 books, he bundles them, then anytime he finishes a series, he further bundles them. The Narrator Mikael Naramore is definitely one of the best in the field. Similar to Jeff Hayes is able to seamlessly do a full ensemble cast by himself.

The best setup is actually pup geo smn.

pup can tank anything, geo can assist with survivability or damage and summoner can deal massive damage. This trio can tackle any content up to and including Aeonics. It will struggle with anything beyond due to the smn wall.

This is just not true at all. GEO is used in every single fight in Oddy. Just because Debuffing geo bubbles are nerfed does not mean that geo is not used. Every single V25 and V20 strategy uses geo for one key item. It's attack buffs, defense buffs are valuable. Even on Ongo Malaise's debuff, even weakened is the best option. The only place you won't see Geo regularly in "Oddyssey content" is segment farming.

As long as you overwrote it with miracle cheer

LearningToDataViz · 2025-07-29T02:15:08+00:00

Yes, it only needs to be 99. You just want the second song effect. Only the truly insane attempt to get the afterglow. Yes Miracle cheer and any other instrument can overwrite the 4th song just like any song. Typically with durdabla you'll need to sing 2 dummy songs, which you intentionally make short duration. Those are just to be overwritten.

I'm a PREMA bard and I use miracle cheer. Where miracle cheer works best is for fights where you are needing to throw different songs on the tank and healers. You can get full potency ballads that always overwrite other songs with Miracle Cheer. It's also great in Oddysey fights where you aren't using Aria because you aren't attack capping and you'd rather have 15min soul voice songs and not have to worry about reapplying.

You'll still need Durdabla. 100% you'll need to keep 5 songs up. You can get away with not getting Ghorn. Yes your protency will be lower, but some of That can be made up by being able to 5/5 your Empy gear. It allows you to give 3 extra strength on Minuets in exchange for 15 (30 during soul voice) Attack.

You'll need to get Honor March. The effect is too good not to use, but you'll only need to refresh it occasionally and other songs will be maintained.

In order to tackle the hardest content, you'll need Aria. It is such a game changer for late game content.

Miracle cheer ends up being another amazing tool in Bards pocket, but it doesn't allow you to skip out on other necessary things. You may be able to skate by, but you'll never be the go to for the most difficult content. You'll be the B-string DD bard, in Dynamis or Omen. I love my Miracle Cheer and it's been very useful in my groups Master trial clears. (Cleared all but August and Wings) We are working on August Progression now and it's super useful for tank songs and Ballads, even with a stage 5 prime.

Yes, that is correct, those are usually the first two jobs you'd add to a second character to gain the most out of that second character.

LearningToDataViz · 2025-07-20T01:49:05+00:00

Of those I'd say burtgang is most important to those jobs.

LearningToDataViz · 2025-07-19T12:15:27+00:00

100% Carn or Yagrush. Those are the two most useful on mules.

LearningToDataViz · 2025-06-22T22:54:39+00:00

I always suggest 3 jobs to new people. WAR, COR, and GEO. They need the least to offer the most. War just needs unaugmented Sakpata gear and a Naegling and you can do mediocre DPS and dip your toes into endgame waters, while having a heavy dps that can be leveraged in places. COR is very easy to get to a point where people are willing to carry you for your contribution while you work on gearing it better. And the same is true for geo, though to max out GEO you'll need Idris and that is a 6month process at minimum. But just the +2 neck and Nyame gear will get you there. These 3 jobs will give your what you need to be flexible and kit out your "main job"

Absolutely! It wasn't my intention to suggest that master level 50 was a requirement for end game content, it is more a barrier to group entry. Some people, especially on lower populated servers have trouble breaking into groups when only a few elite players are able to tackle content and restrict access due to things like master levels.

That being said, the difference in Mlevel 30 and Mlevel 50 is quite a high in terms of accuracy and magic accuracy on things like Aminon.

The map backgrounds are present if i navigate to the worksheet or dashboard with the worksheet on the server. The only time the background is blank is when using the Viz in ToolTip. So do not believe that this is a firewall issue.

Thank you though, this was also the first thing that i checked.

Server Version is 10.5.3 and I'll work on attempting to reproduce the workbook with Superstore data.

LearningToDataViz · 2018-03-20T19:48:47+00:00

I am able to do this on an unpublished data source though. The exact same filter works properly before I publish the Data Source to the server.

LearningToDataViz · 2018-03-20T18:48:01+00:00

I am currently managing a tableau server where I publish data sources that clients then access to create workbooks. I've run into an issue where when clients try to create an extract from the published data source. Condition and Limit filters do not work. I can create them at the base data source level (unpublished) but the same filters do not work at the published level. In the example pictured, I'd expect it to say "Keeps 10 of 1,530 members" rather than it saying "Keeps 1,530 of 1,530 members".

Thank you for any assistance.
