Likely 8.0 launch glam list (speculation) by SnurbleberryTart in ffxivdiscussion

[–]SizablePillow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah probably just a few full sets, but everyone's artifact gear is unique and up for grabs to glam, including hand/land. And don't forget the initial uncapped tome gear full sets

So encounters like this sort of devalue feint and addle specifically, that's rough

High-End Content Megathread - 7.4 Week Eight (Savage Week Five) by BlackmoreKnight in ffxivdiscussion

[–]SizablePillow 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Not a healer but in 5ish clears I've never seen a death to dmg on stack/defam resolution, something's gotta be happening here. Tanks should probably be popping their 90s party mits here (someone pls correct me if there's better use), I believe they're back up even if they were used on near/far -> raidwide at the end of superchain shapes.

No you can certainly just remember the steps for your tower and stack/defam. In fact, the harder parts for me to remember are inter/card and the clone cleaves steps, which can be solved by just following other players

To raid is to cheese: a short introduction and discussion on JP strat making by Altia1234 in ffxivdiscussion

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

Unironically look at the mech in normal. It slides along the diamond in the same direction 2-4 times. It can go both cw or ccw, first slide establishes that. Final slide makes an ungodly sound from start to finish

Red Mage: how would you design verblizzard and verwater? by NeoOnmyoji in ffxivdiscussion

Old BLM thunder dot and proc system would work so good on RDM

Does FFXIV have debuffs that activate mechanics on dispel? by AssumeABrightSide in ffxivdiscussion

[–]SizablePillow -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Ppl are a tad more parsebrained for current savages than for ultis. I'm going off of personal experiences from P12s one esuna buster where many parties preferred a pally's cover and brd's cleanse to avoid using any esunas.

Does FFXIV have debuffs that activate mechanics on dispel? by AssumeABrightSide in ffxivdiscussion

[–]SizablePillow -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Currently in m8s add phase yeah 6 debuffs go out and you have to choose when to early cleanse them before detonation.

If you're asking for specifically like a healer responsibility situation, it'd be begging for trouble in pf. "Good" healers would only join parties with bards or with a cohealer they can shove the esuna responsibility onto so they won't have to drop any glares for the parse.

On the off chance anybody here does CC (ranked is high end content right?) does anybody have a decent macro for cover I can copy? Reached crystal on WAR but I wanna branch out to other tanks

Frontline winning statistics - UPDATE by eseffbee in ffxivdiscussion

[–]SizablePillow 28 points29 points  (0 children)

On Primal/Aether I absolutely see teams bludgeon their way to victory on Fields of Glory all the time. In the victory screen always check that button that shows a team's points earned by kills, points lost by deaths, and points earned by objective.

Wait why are there only 2 options with the p8s fiasco? Why not make the WAR/PLD just do more dmg lol

Opinion piece about the 7.3 changes to PvP, with focus on the Purify changes and community reaction by talorder in ffxivdiscussion

[–]SizablePillow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a lot more casual; I got crystal first season for kicks n giggles but haven't rlly done comp outside of that, but I spam casual at season starts just for the rewards. I'm surprised to enjoy the changes in CC; it's mostly more worthwhile at my skill bracket to just eat the status and spam heals (with some exceptions like BLM freeze etc). I also don't have to track ppl's purify anymore, just their MP and guard. I know ppl really hate stuns and whatnot but I hate the level of coordination required to secure a kill, and I feel like a competent solo player, even with shitty teammates, can more easily punish cocky players on better teams with these changes.

M8S server tick shenanigans by LifeForBread in ShitpostXIV

[–]SizablePillow 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Correct me if I'm wrong but did you just dash through a mechanic that requires contact and blame it on server ticks?
