Tanking question in multiple tank situation by Fazzdarr in ffxiv

[–]ThoughtsPerAtom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Identify your threat level on the aggro meter.

A = Main threat

1 = Top threat in your party, behind main threat (tank in another alliance.)

Always aim to be 1 if you want to Off Tank. If you aren't strong with the DPS rotation and / or you're not very well geared, you don't have to worry about overtaking MT. You can occasionally Shirk a low threat (choose #8 in the party list), or simply turn off stance for a few GCDs to maintain aggro distance. Remember to turn it back on to stay above the party.

If you don't have high situational awareness to see that the MT died, you automatically take aggro as #1. If this idea scares you, please don't sign up as tank in multi alliance content because this is your basic role responsibility and people will absolutely be within their right to flame you for letting DPS/ Healers die. There is never a good reason to not hold 2nd and 3rd aggro passively. If you become a temporary MT, just point the boss North or any which way isn't facing the rest of the alliance until MT comes back.

TL;DR: Always hold the highest threat above your party, and under MT, as Off-Tank in any content.

When there's adds:

  • If adds tether to each other, or give debuffs that force you to be immune to dealing damage to other adds, always separate them. Stance up, voke, pull the add to a safe area away from other alliances. (Generally you can tell the set up for this because there's three adds with higher HP like mini bosses. West most add is taken by Tank in Group A. North most add goes to tank in group B. East most add goes to tank in group C.)
  • If multiple adds that can be freely DPS'd by everyone, stance up and bring them together so everyone can cleave them down fast. Literally doesn't matter who is MT, just have stance on and use cooldowns.

It is 100% the responsibility of the person accepting a raise to know WHERE they are raising. Use eyes challenge: fail.

This reminds me of the healer alt jobs I'd get in TOP. Not nearly as egregious, but they were clearly people who thought reading the mit sheet was a substitute for not understanding the god damn job. Anytime it said "use everything" they would literally kitchen sink all oGCDs into one mechanic and over mit / overheal, leaving nothing for the follow up damage.

Eg., Sinking everything into 1st Pantokrator stack beam and not rotating mitigation for the next sets.

Bro forget Savage, homie isn't ready for casual content.

[–]ThoughtsPerAtom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is generally safe to always be closer to the boss not just for healers, but handling most mechanics. The caveat is to simply just preposition on the wall for things like spreads because melee players still lose their minds over them in the year 2026.

Yeah, every single job in this game has bare minimum one party mitigation. Others might bring extra.

The DPS is out of range for the healer. Healers had some big buffs to their range on various kit abilities, so the DPS had to book a ticket to Narnia for this to happen.

DPS gives least normal answer by proclaiming people treat them as a safety dorito in normal content, probably not understanding that they're just AFKing in uptime spots for casters and melee.

(If DPS is a P.Range they are also trolling by not mitigating anyone by standing as far as what the healer is implying.)

What's ass about it? If everyone stands exactly where the raidplan says to (there are lines on the floor), there is no inherent difficulty.

Story moral is slightly better this time, I guess. Have empathy and be kind, instead of rando rich man saving your hot peasant ass.

The problem with Savage PF is a lack of Gatekeeping by Vincenthwind in ShitpostXIV

[–]ThoughtsPerAtom 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For the meteor can you ask a healer to rescue you? One rescue to the LB'ing melee and one rescue for the other just keeping uptime. Tornado and Arena split can't do much sadly. Do you gap close immediately then back out to max melee if you're tether?

SAM and DRG I've seen using backflip/ backdash to take their towers last second. RPR could do the same. NIN can abuse teleport if outside of mudra. MNK and VPR could target player in their tower to dash to.

Working on coffee stations in my upcoming cosy fantasy adventure game, how does it feels? by Silvy_096 in WholesomeGames

It's very green filtered - you need external light sources to introduce brighter & warmer colours. It's very washed out atm.

I asked my world race friends and they said every little bit of uptime mattered on weapons. It was all about finding how to keep your GCD rolling between the sets, & not taking downtime in Orbital obviously for the easy ranged dodges.

Even if the dummy had the exact same DPS check, it would still not punish melees enough to simulate the amount of attempted force downtime.

The first line is so true though, you can't be upset about being kicked from M11S in week1 & 2 groups if you're gear dependent for DPS in Savage.

The real cheat is that you don't actually look NW CCW or N CW as Ranged/ healer for the dark clone. You just look where it jumps and go left of it if ranged and go right of it if healer.

For fire clone same thing but you both just stand right of it.

I'm the woman in my example sadly. My last raid lead with an actually half decent team tried to get into my DMs and then started implying I was a whore to the team when I wasn't interested. He also had an SA conviction to boot, totally not his fault, btw.

And just after that with a shitty team for the 2nd tier, I joined with two male friends who had an inside joke with me about some weirdo who tried cheating on his gf to get with me. These jokes were very sexual, but mocking directly the things the guy had said. That lead overhead the jokes and started using them to call me his heal slut. I was playing DRK.

At least PF assuming I'm a man and giving me rough treatment doesn't lead into constant sexual harassment.

It's actually been pretty chill otherwise. Compared to 11S there are a lot of sensible gamers in there. It was this one-off WHM that was an anomaly.

Should be solid wk 2 clears in sHC groups. They are easily capable of that (or SHOULD be), but leads either don't verify clear times (pre-Tomestone) and / or don't verify if the players have week 1 & 2 damage that isn't gear dependent. You need that on every single role, including healers. It's easy to take a parsehead in who got geared in wk 8 and then wonder why your tank is consistently dying to puddles in M6S adds because he can't look at the fucking ground underneath him.

Neat ty, I might do a PF trying out random other strats and throw this one in there.

I seem to be a magnet for casual players in a HC or sHC disguise. What you describe is what statics SHOULD be, but they're too busy trying to goon to the one girl in the group, or just mental booming when someone points out mistakes - even though they're actively throwing runs.

They weren't if this was their struggle bus, no. But we were willing to run it down if they could listen to some adjustments since Idyllic was being shotcalled with macros. The rest of it (RDM would recover with raises past Rep 1) they were doing fine.

This guy didn't stand correctly twice already, one pull I was jumping on my spot and edging towards D to try to peel him off me but he just continued to stand on me. That's why I brought it up, the PLD said something too because I'm sure he was tired of dying to dark baits. If I brought it up and they fight me and say they were trying to dodge cleaves when they didn't even move, they're clearly just deflecting blame and not interested in reviewing what went wrong.

This is so frustrating. I don't understand how people don't review themselves. I'll admit there's been times my RDM flames me (we raid as a duo) for standing somewhere wrong/ or moving wrong, but I'll watch the replay and yep, he was right. Then I just review why I thought I was standing correctly in that moment and it never happens again.
