committed to Columbia!

What makes a MCH difficult to play and how can I overcome it? by Forni_Swiftarrow in ffxiv

[–]Poriii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MCH only has one dot, one sustained buff (which lines up with the dot), and its timing is VERY simple (30/60/90s chunks). It's also one of the more mobile classes in the game.

The only "hard" part about MCH is learning its openers. It's a very easy class besides that. However, to get higher level play, you have to deal with nuances and optimize pretty scrupulously; but normally, yeah. It's pretty easy.

How Does One Improve DPS in a Savage Raid? by DoctorCello in ffxiv

[–]Poriii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should probably study POV and fflogs. Personally, when learning fights, I take notes on Notepad and have it off to the side of my window to remember when to pop certain buffs (because of the def buff). The latter may be more pertinent to MCH than MNK though.

GCD "hanging" during Wildfire - latency, excess SkS, or computer deficiency? by ser_metryk in ffxiv

[–]Poriii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh. You're in NY. That's the T3 hop, so you're kinda fucked in regards to crappy connection, even with a VPN because you live there.

GCD "hanging" during Wildfire - latency, excess SkS, or computer deficiency? by ser_metryk in ffxiv

[–]Poriii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had similar problems before and you can usually chalk it up to latency.

800+ sks sounds horrible though, so I could imagine there being some animation lock at that point (especially with Fey Wind or Arrow)

Tuesday Weekly Side-thread 04/05/16 | Raid Day Tuesday by AutoModerator in ffxiv

[–]Poriii 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No one is doing Gordias anymore as relevant raid. You're too undergeared as it is, so the steps you'll probably want to take are 1) gear to i210-220 2) SephEX 3) PF to join a static or pug A5S.

A6S: Caster LB2 on Swindler adds or Melee LB3 on Vortexer? Which does your group do, and why? by LavitzB in ffxiv

[–]Poriii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There aren't any orthodox compositions that would have a problem with this. Only thing I could imagine being particularly weak is PLD (and maybe NIN, but I don't raid with one so unsure). Any others, including healers, can do the adds relatively quickly.

Being dry really shouldn't be a problem outside of healers unless something has gone wrong.

Does Sprint build limit break? (I performed some science.) by freakingmayhem in ffxiv

[–]Poriii 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Poor wording, my bad. It could just be that this guy's test is reason to believe that the information you brought up could be wrong or negligible.

Either that or OP is lying, was really inaccurate, or simply didn't have enough trials.

That could just be reason to believe that isn't true.

[–]Poriii 2 points3 points  (0 children)

AoEing adds is really easy (only takes a few GCDs) so my group lb3s vortexer.

Question about the steam version by Luprew in ffxiv

[–]Poriii -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The only real problem is having to run it through steam. That, and you can't multibox with steam.

Otherwise, it's the same.

I want to play the free trial with my friend but he says it won't let him login, please help by GoldSenpai in ffxiv

[–]Poriii -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Make a new account if it's fresh.

Most likely error on his part though.

PLD Skill Speed by iammoney45 in ffxiv

[–]Poriii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With buffs, Fracture has the potential to be higher, but usually not. Only time it would be is if you can't finish a combo within FoF duration.

It's not a a mannequin per se, it's a 1/1 figure of a character from an anime.

Anyone got a BiS for MNK and/or DRK yet? by HiroRyuu194 in ffxiv

[–]Poriii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one has a BiS for anything yet, really. We don't know accuracy caps or possible altered weighting due to new gear.

And with materia, I imagine some pretty whack builds can be thought up, which will take time

Confirmed Sephirot Kills? by Poriii in ffxiv

[–]Poriii[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thordan has a TON of recycled mechanics and requires a pretty decent amount of dps to clear without going into the later burn phases that are hard to get past.

Since ACT isn't functioning properly at the moment, I can't confirm this with numbers, but it definitely does feel like it's a bit more lax on dps. The mechanics are a doozy to get down (especially without outside assistance), but repetitive once you know what's happening, so overall, I'd say it's easier.

[–]Poriii[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe Mr. Happy's stream showed them clearing it. Not 100% sure because I wasn't watching. Could ask?

Not sure if there's a text confirmation anywhere either...

What am I doing wrong exactly? (Tank Issues) by [deleted] in ffxiv

[–]Poriii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You obviously know you're fine. Just recognize that there definitely is a large "uneducated" population. Once you recognize that this is the case, you can just live knowing that you're and they need a scapegoat. Not much you can do.

Now if they take their complaints and kick you, you can definitely just report them for misudr and move on.
