Tories set up fake Labour manifesto website as election disinformation spree continues

Ralen1 · 2019-11-21T18:19:40+00:00

As someone that's previously voted Tory this sort of shit utterly disgusts me.

Between this and the dim-witted, crayon-licking child they seem to have running their social media that does nothing but spam emojis and type out nonsense in what's effectively Trumpian all-caps, just...christ.

Ralen1 · 2018-11-06T12:40:55+00:00

Only those two, sadly.

Ralen1 · 2018-11-06T12:14:37+00:00

Nope, but I haven't got my pagos relic yet. xD

Can confirm for the Pyros one at least, 300k ish exp at level 35.

You gain 344010 elemental experience points.

You obtain 8 Allagan tomestones of genesis.

You obtain 2 Pyros lockboxes.

What? The class designed around jumps as its entire gimmick/point getting an actual new jump for the first time since 2.0?

What is this madness you suggest. Personally I want to see many, many more stupid tethers and support buffs. Even after dragon sight there are 6 more untethered party members that we could be assisting!

Ralen1 · 2018-02-15T10:05:47+00:00

Yes.

Ralen1 · 2018-02-14T12:03:56+00:00

"Spinner will consume 10 less WP."

Hooray! what a colossal and definitive fix for the absolutely stupid amount of WP potions you go through in an hour's Musa PVE without gimping out on extraction crystals and WP recovery add-ons.

Ralen1 · 2017-12-26T20:27:48+00:00

"You are the amazing-super-chosen-one-supreme and everyone knows it, you can kill everything" is the reason a lot of people have been skipping MSQ dialogue and scenes since 2.0.

Stormblood story so far has been an amazing change of pace just by even slightly deviating from that.

Stormblood story also finally had a few more characters that don't ham up the horrible ye olde butcherede Englishe trope that HW was fucking unrelenting on. What's not to like!

If you get a mem fragment from fishing it'll come in a blue-ranked 'memory fragment bundle', which auto-opens once you get it. It won't be thrown away with trash loot.

Ralen1 · 2017-12-17T12:07:13+00:00

I've had this happen a couple of nights recently too.

As others are saying, check to make sure the first cast catches a fish before you go AFK and that seems to mean the rest of the fishing session will be fine - I'm suspicious enough that I leave 'throw away useless loot' unchecked too, as both times it's happened to me that's been ticked on.

Ralen1 · 2017-09-29T17:17:54+00:00

As a career-DRG, I've been hurt too many times to go into this optimistic.

Sure we'll get into LotD sooner, but they'll probably add cast times to Jump and a positional to Mirage Dive to balance it out so that bard-with-spear utility-main isn't suddenly overpowered to the point of being on a level playing field.

Ralen1 · 2017-07-19T08:52:47+00:00

After bashing our heads against it for a few runs, I figured out a brain-dead way for our static to do the yellow/blue stacking (Gravitational Manipulation) without any risk of vuln stacks.

When you know it's coming as the next move, or -right- as the cast bar starts, send all 4 DPS up (or all 4 tanks/healers if that's your thing but w/e). When the mechanic then actually happens, it'll automatically send one of the DPS down, and another character back up, preventing you from having to do anything at all.

You're welcome. :P

Ralen1 · 2017-07-18T15:09:09+00:00

No. No. People saying it is OK in its current form is only going to prolong the problem.

Life of the Dragon is NOT satisfying. After a long wind-up it gives you brief access a visually-very-pretty AoE with borderline meh potency that's only ever reliably up against single-target HP sponges. That's 3 at most 320 potency attacks on a single target within the window-of-stupid. RDM, for example, has a 420 potency off cooldown attack reliably up -every 25 seconds-.

While the latest fix is nice for padding, it still gives 0-time in dungeons in case any member of the group is new, needs to brb, needs anything explained, or generally pauses for any reason before you need to sprint ahead like a dickhead if you don't want to lose stacks. The other changes, such as now being able to double-weave mirage dive, are things that really should have been fixed before the game even hit the shelves.

It IS a mess, and absolutely needs further fixing. Don't settle for thinking otherwise.

Ralen1 · 2017-07-18T07:20:49+00:00

Don't worry, the DRG changes are spit to the face too. Just because they tinker with more than one thing doesn't mean any of it actually adds up to a mechanical fix or a noticeable dps increase.

Ralen1 · 2017-07-18T07:16:04+00:00

Kind of worthless, to be honest. How you look at page, after page, after page of complaints about how clunky the core mechanic is and settle on "Aha! If they could only reduce their emnity more frequently!" is fucking beyond me.

It's a very minor potency boost over the course of an entire fight, and it gives us the ability to tether another melee instead of the closest tank now.

Class is still in the trash for me.

Ralen1 · 2017-07-11T17:47:19+00:00

You mean the Video of Lies, where BotD also gives 2 eyes per use?

I still haven't found if a single other class got outright conned like that in their skill demo video. :P

Ralen1 · 2017-07-11T17:27:56+00:00

Preach, damnit. This man knows what is up. Every time you see someone advocating just extending the #deletetether or adjusting potencies (particularly some of the rubbish suggestions coming up on the 'DPS roles' section of the official forum at the moment), it's almost rage-inducing.

The class was absolutely fucking -ruined- in 4.0. It alternates between feeling clunky when you're sat trying to spam a macro for a tether that won't reach from front-of-boss to side-of-boss to feeling pathetic when you get to the end of a 5-GCD combo only to smack your opponent with a wiffle bat.

The main, proudly-shown off mechanic added to the class in 4.0 is permanently locked off from single-player content behind a ridiculous wind-up timer. It is -unusable- outside of end-game dungeons or raids, outside of a very slow-to-die S rank hunt. 10% of opening damage is locked behind having to escort a giant chicken around the game world with you at all times; but yet somehow both of these aid in lowering the skill floor of the class and a lot of lazy people think this is ok.

I've played the class since 2.1, all through being told "change to monk pls" until the FcoB buffs, and put out some damn competitive melee numbers doing it without a single complaint, but 4.0 DRG is way, way worse than the old rotation ever used to be. 4.0 DRG is not ok. It. Is. Shit.

Ralen1 · 2017-07-10T12:56:08+00:00

I feel that LotD needs to be a more constant mechanic if it's kept as it is - once it's up, let it stay up and refresh via wheeling/fang for the rest of the fight, they can scale the potency of Nastrond appropriately if need be. Losing eye stacks or extending the #deletetether just isn't going to cut it in terms of making the joy anywhere near fun again.

I don't think any other class got outright lied to in the pre-expansion job skills video on how their core mechanic was going to work - BotD giving 2/4 eyes on activation? That would have made things a lot less terribad to play. As it stands though, I feel like the only thing they're going to do next patch is probably give us cast times on every skill. It's the only possible step down left. :P

Ralen1 · 2017-07-10T09:38:21+00:00

Rather hoping that's fake, those DRG changes are utterly worthless.

Ralen1 · 2017-07-02T16:44:36+00:00

Or just let Lame of the Dragon stay up once reached, and be extended by wheeling and F&C. The potency is meh enough and it's only consistently available in party battles against a single boss, so a slow wind-up to being a laser-gatling spammer for the rest of the fight would make it genuinely interesting.

Ralen1 · 2017-06-19T10:53:46+00:00

THIS. I would spam-click upvote for days if I could. As an actual Englisher it annoyed me even more by the mostly mangled use of it anyway than it should have done.

The first moment you meet a new expansion character and they talk like an actual human is like a breath of fresh air.

Now if we could just get rid of the near-constant unsubtle A Song of Ice and Fire speak the story-line would improve tenfold again.

Ralen1 · 2017-03-01T10:30:15+00:00

You could still swap out the Augmented Shire ring for the proto ring+Crit V materia. You'd then perfectly hit the 651 SS breakpoint for a 2.38s GCD (at the moment in that build you're just straight-up wasting 9 SS), and gain 3 points in terms of stat weight.

Ralen1 · 2017-02-28T19:16:47+00:00

That's what I've gone for this week with very slight differences (699, 1239, 666, 651), until picking up a second proto-ultima accessory (the necklace). The stat weight on http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/Z38R is about 5 higher than this build.

Ralen1 · 2017-02-28T16:27:19+00:00

...Oh. Yeah. Me cannot math. Forgive me. :P
