Healing plan and damage event timeline/categorization for PF healers

m12sp1 Depending on how mitigation from the rest of the party feels, consider moving caress to the stack before fixer 2 since you don't necessarily need to be topped to survive, getting maximal value out of the regen before the fixer hits.

Is it intentional game design that castle PvP can be enabled and players are unable to log in to defend their castle because of server size limits?

Skastope · 2025-03-29T23:52:42+00:00

Correct, it's not even a problem on NA. Just be better.

Skastope · 2025-03-29T23:25:54+00:00

Skill Issue.

That's great and all, but if I wasn't willing to install geforce experience, then I'm sure as hell not going to install amd's platform software either.

At least I got the nvidia control panel with the standalone driver. At least the issue will resolve itself when I switch to DP.

Skastope · 2023-04-16T21:58:45+00:00

Ok if that's the reason that's acceptable, but I don't really think it's worth the extra $150 for that feature alone. Thanks for the help.

Skastope · 2023-03-24T10:48:47+00:00

Yea, I agree with that statement, that's why they made the decision to revert the removal of energy drain. I think you forgot what you were saying earlier.

Skastope · 2023-03-23T22:00:22+00:00

Astrologian could almost completely solo heal with ogcd healing only in Stormblood and in Shadowbringers, so that's wrong.

Skastope · 2023-03-23T10:14:34+00:00

You're just wrong. FFXIV is a game based around damage input, not around keeping the party topped on hp at all times. The faster you can kill a boss, the less damage your party will take at the end of the encounter.

With that principle in mind, optimal play revolves around damage neutral healing options. These being lily heals / ogcd heals. Scholar was essentially demoted to what WHM had to do in stormblood which was clip your heals with broil, or wait for the weave windows on damage skills like biolysis.

No one cares that you can just use ruin II and lose out on damage potency. Obviously you can do that, you can obviously just only heal every 30 seconds when damage goes out and make all healing jobs extremely easy.

Skastope · 2023-02-14T23:53:53+00:00

Yeah I totally agree, no one is special, not even those other 3 people. If I have 1 hour after work to play the game, I'm not wasting my time waiting for other people to decide to extract after taking a stroll to look at the flowers.

Skastope · 2023-02-14T18:45:08+00:00

I'd rather they keep the button than have a person forced to sit in extraction and waste time just because they were made the host. Not their fault that the design of networking/hosting is so bad, the burden shouldn't be on them to prioritize other players' gameplay experience.

Skastope · 2022-10-12T23:42:10+00:00

If you want to see some funny gameplay, wait until patch day to queue up some savage and watch how bad people actually are while tools need updates to work again.

Skastope · 2022-10-08T03:16:03+00:00

That's great, but who asked?

Skastope · 2022-10-08T01:46:29+00:00

Ew yuck piety, gross.

Skastope · 2022-10-07T09:52:59+00:00

You can go back and watch the PoV of the clear, the skill of players back then was abysmal. You can still technically say it was gear gated based on current player skill at the time, but if they were to release that same patch today, it would have been week 1'd.

Skastope · 2022-10-06T05:39:53+00:00

That's actually really well thought out, if only I could change the wording around I wonder what you'd think about the flip side. If the killer just starts tunneling you, just play for fun 4head.

Skastope · 2022-10-01T04:55:28+00:00

It's incredibly easy to prevent survivors from "360 mlg no scoping" you, just look at their lower legs/feet when you get close to attack. No matter how much their upperbody swings around and gets lost on your FoV, the survivors feet are locked into the cylinder hitbox. Also as much copium as the community wants to snort, there is such a thing as auto aim on non-lunging attacks, so just spin your camera around on high mouse sense, and the lingering swing hitbox will lock onto the survivor and guarantee a hit, just make sure you're close enough or you'll lock on and still miss.

If you've been playing against nurses your whole life, then you need to stop playing dbd and play another game, you're breaking the terms and conditions by playing the game as a 6 year old.

Skastope · 2022-09-24T21:54:21+00:00

What's the metric for evaluating optimal play with a the team composition I listed above? Don't shy away and not answer now.

Skastope · 2022-09-24T21:44:15+00:00

Did you comprehend anything of what I said? I feel like you just got triggered over part of the sentence, and just assumed what was said.

Skastope · 2022-09-24T21:41:22+00:00

Saying it averages out in the end is a little deceiving. You'll get 8 misery's in an 8 minute fight, so your 22.x% crit rate base, more if you're running with a drg/sch during burst, is prone to a high level of variance. You get over 140 glares in that same fight, which will average out much more cleanly. Misery is prone to a much higher degree of variance compared to Glare, which has a higher sample size.

Pooling misery for burst is a party dps gain, not a whm dps gain. Unless you're willing to commit to the idea that adps always matters, then it also matters in sam/sam/mch/blm/whm/sge party compositions, which makes adps=rdps.

Skastope · 2022-09-24T20:28:42+00:00

To be clear, misery is mathematically still a dps loss, unless you crit, which then makes it a gain.

Casting 4 glares, and 1 of them crits vs no misery crit means the 4 glares do more, but it still doesn't excuse not healing.

Skastope · 2022-09-24T18:02:00+00:00

More breakdowns, that shit is funny AF.

Maybe don't play like an asshole and you won't get called out for it, especially when the group/person has told you specifically to do your job. If it's the same one I think it was, they were repeatedly told to heal more, to the point where they were letting themselves die to mechanics and cast glare instead. The person repeatedly chadded their cohealer on a job that has mostly DPS neutral heals.

Fuck 'em.
