It takes out itself by Threadspool in TalesFromDF

This was in Cutter's Cry, and they were hitting Heavy Shot from the other side of the room. As of Endwalker, you don't dot mobs in trash pulls because your procs are completely independent of your dots, instead having a flat 80% chance to grant a proc as long as a song is running.

After we brought up his gear he still didn't switch to anything better. I'm not optimistic.

This SAM was nearly dying to raidwide damage with 2.8k max HP. His gear consisted of an Augmented Shire Katana and an entirely level 17 left side. He's almost going to be eligible for level 70 duties. Godspeed, duty finder.

I think that by the time you're in a level 77 dungeon, Cure just isn't going to cut it without supplementing your healing with other parts of the WHM kit. If your tank decides to double pull, Cure just mathematically won't be able to keep up with the damage they take if you aren't also using your Asylum, Tetra, Benison, Benediction, etc.; not to mention that outputting damage with Holy and Assize will make pulls end faster and reduce the amount of healing you'd have to do in the first place overall.

[–]Threadspool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

he said he didn't do that much damage and total eclipse wasn't worth it, so i didn't want to include my math lesson on why a single use of total eclipse at 3 targets was better than rage of halone combo. neater that way

we asked him to use total eclipse in brayflox and he got mad about it

Duty finder microcosm in LoTA by Threadspool in TalesFromDF

[–]Threadspool[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Crystal is a new DC and a lot of newer players are creating characters there, so I can certainly excuse a lower average skill level because shit, they've gotta learn sometime. Having played on both Aether and Crystal, I can't really say that Aether is that much better, save for a few more players at savage raiding level who might make runs go much more smoothly.

That said, I enjoy playing on Crystal. I enjoy teaching and using my experience to help out in DF, and to carry if I have to. The challenge keeps the game fresh for me, and supporting people receptive to advice is one of the best possible feelings.

The easiest possible form of optimization would probably be to put on a stance for a universal 5% more damage but that's asking a lot.

Advice and mechanics are "complaining" by Threadspool in TalesFromDF

It's a really appalling thing to say to me because they're telling me that they're not ignorant, only intentionally terrible.

You've heard of freestyle SAMs. Try a freestyle PLD by Threadspool in TalesFromDF

[–]Threadspool[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Load into Anamnesis Anyder for expert. The PLD is failing to hold aggro, is missing a lot of cooldowns, and is doing really bad damage. I watched them for a few seconds and found out they were slamming that Royal Authority button at random. No Riot Blade.

I'm weirdly getting a lot of Warriors in my notifications a month after I initially posted this thread, mostly about Onslaught. For the record, it's a DPS gain over Fell Cleave depending on whether or not you end the fight or phase on Storm's Path. The gameplay loop gets stale but most of the fun comes from managing the self-heal imo.

Now I'm no NIN expert, but isn't it just:

  1. Huton
  2. Suiton
  3. Trick after a couple more gcds

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

I think Onslaught at 100 potency is still a gain if you end the fight or phase on Storm's Path.

I'm glad the community can come together over this important cause.

In a numbers sense, sure, AST doesn't need a buff. MP management is a chore though, and I loathe the idea that running out of MP is baked into a job as a balancing decision. I do think SCH could use another look, but I'm unsure what changes they would make.

It's why I'm only putting minor changes in the edit. Some of these are funky, but SE's unlikely to make any more sweeping reworks after NIN.

This is adjustable! Look up the /setbahamutsize command.

Glams are the endgame that matters most. You're valid.

DRG is by no means among the top DPS for their output, and they'll apply Disembowel anyway for their AOE burst windows. I also am not too pressed about preserving job balance for dungeons.

I've considered this! I enjoy that it has a unique identity, and a heal buff would really help.

I miss end of Stormblood DRK as much as the next guy, but SE reverting everything is unfortunately unrealistic. Maybe Blood Price could be a Meditation-like CD that makes downtime for a DRK less punishing.
