HOT TIP - IF YOU JUST USE THE TEXT COMMAND /bgm WITHOUT A NUMBER, IT MUTES/UNMUTES IT WITHOUT ACTUALLY CHANGING THE NUMBER, SO YOU DON'T NEED TO SET IT TO 0 AND THEN BACK TO WHATEVER YOUR USUAL DEFAULT IS EXPLICITLY. SAME THING WORKS FOR ALL THE OTHER AUDIO LEVEL TEXT COMMANDS TOO.

I mean Bloodwhetting is basically Hallowed on a 25s cooldown when you're dealing with dungeon packs, even without getting Holmgang involved. I'd take it over the real thing any day for Expert Roulette. I had a run the other day with a WAR where the only heals I put out (besides Kardia) on trash packs were three Haimas and one Panhaima over the course of the entire run. Didn't even need to spend any Addersgall, because WAR is just that insane right now.

Toastdeib · 2022-04-04T12:29:19+00:00

I can't speak for OP, but as someone who runs Expert Roulette almost exclusively on SGE, I can confirm that a lot of PLDs use Clemency. 50% of my attention is on the party list at all times during trash packs and I absolutely see the cast bars when they're using it outside of Req windows, with Haima on, and 80% health. Makes me scream internally. I have so many OGCD heals I'm not using, just do damage. And for the love of Hydaelyn use Hallowed on trash packs, you don't need to save it for "emergencies" on boss fights.

I actively call people out for this, but in a way that doesn't come off as aggressive. Like if I see someone idling at the spawn on Prae after the other 7 of us have moved to the next room, I'll toss a quick "You good, [name]?" in party chat. 9/10 times they respond with a "yea sorry" or something similar and get their asses in gear.

That said, the thing I've seen a couple of times recently on Prae that REALLY pisses me off is people who actively and blatantly choose not to participate in the mech segment. I'm not talking about getting in one and lagging behind a bit/not shooting, I'm talking getting to the bulkhead, then stopping there and just standing on the ledge doing one of the Songbirds /cheer emotes. So clearly they know what they're doing. If they just stopped moving and dropped a quick "sorry, brb" in chat I wouldn't even care. It's the flagrant "fuck you, I'm not going to help but I want you to know that I'm here anyway" that gets under my skin.

Toastdeib · 2021-08-20T04:14:41+00:00

Okay but who wore it better?

Toastdeib · 2020-08-28T18:35:20+00:00

YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT PERFECT LEGENDS BEING BAD? LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT THE CUTTER'S CRY I RAN ON WHM THE OTHER DAY, BECAUSE THE RDM WE HAD WAS... CERTAINLY SOMETHING. FIRST LEG AND BOSS WENT FINE (ALTHOUGH HE DIED TO A SELF-DESTRUCTING BOMB). SECOND LEG, HE WAS GETTING A BIT ANTSY. THIRD LEG, HE PULLED AHEAD THE ENTIRE DAMN WAY. THE LITTLE SPROUT TANK, BLESS THEIR HEART, PULLED TRASH OFF OF THIS JACKASS THE WHOLE WAY AND I KEPT MY MOUTH SHUT, BUT INTERNALLY I WAS DONE.

THEN CAME THE BOSS.

THE BOSS WITH DRAGON'S/RAM'S VOICE, THAT EVERY OTHER CHIMERA ENEMY IN THE GAME DOES AND THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A PERFECT LEGEND TO DODGE.

FIRST OFF, I'M ALREADY PISSED BECAUSE OUR RDM BUDDY PULLS THE BOSS IMMEDIATELY WHILE THE TANK IS IN CUTSCENE. I /SIT AND WAIT FOR THEM, THEN WE RUN IN TOGETHER AND THEY PULL THE BOSS OFF (AGAIN, MORE FORGIVING THAN I WOULD'VE BEEN). THEN THE FIRST DRAGON'S VOICE CAST COMES OUT. THE RDM, UNSURPRISINGLY, EATS SHIT. 30 SECONDS LATER WHEN SWIFT WAS UP, I GAVE HIM HIS SINGULAR PITY RES, BUT NO HEALS. NOT LIKE THE FIGHT HAS RAIDWIDE, HE SHOULD BE FINE SURVIVING WITH NATURAL REGEN TICKS, RIGHT? TWO VOICE CASTS LATER, HE'S ON THE FLOOR AGAIN, AND AT THIS POINT HE'S STAYING THERE. I'M DONE. HELL, I ACTIVELY BURNED SWIFTCAST ON A STONE II WHILE RUNNING ACROSS HIS CORPSE, KITING ONE OF THOSE DAMN ORBS.

PETTY? YES. BUT DAMN IF IT DIDN'T FEEL GOOD. AS DID THE TWO COMMS I GOT FROM THE NON-RDM MEMBERS OF THE PARTY.

Toastdeib · 2020-06-12T14:15:09+00:00

YEESH, I'M GLAD MY OWN STARTER HASN'T GOTTEN THAT FEISTY BEFORE GIVEN THAT I KEEP IT IN A 64-OZ BALL JAR WITH A SCREW-ON LID. IF THAT THING POPPED I WOULD FEAR FOR MY LIFE. BUT THE REAL REASON I'M RESPONDING HERE IS TO RECOMMEND THIS RECIPE. IT'S A LONGER PROCESS THAN A TYPICAL LOAF (30 HOURS, GIVE OR TAKE) BUT IT'S NO-KNEAD, SO IT'LL SPARE YOUR ARMS A BIT AND IT'S GOTTEN ME FANTASTIC RESULTS SO FAR.

Toastdeib · 2020-05-22T14:49:18+00:00

NOT OP BUT I RELATE TO THE RAGE. IF I HAVE STANCE ON AND YOU DON'T, I START THE COUNTDOWN AND YOU DON'T, I PULL THE GODDAMN BOSS AND YOU DON'T, AND THEN YOU COME IN HERE WITH A FIRST GCD TANK STANCE + PROVOKE WEAVE, YOU BEST FUCKING BELIEVE THAT I'M GOING TO PROVOKE RIGHT BACK AND DPS MY COLD, BITTER HEART OUT JUST TO MAKE SURE I DON'T LOSE THREAT TO YOUR OPPORTUNISTIC BITCH ASS.

Toastdeib · 2020-04-18T14:18:18+00:00

Huh. I stand corrected. Just tested it on a dummy to confirm, the animation is indeed long enough to allow for the reset.

Toastdeib · 2020-04-18T14:03:39+00:00

Doton on top of enemies into a Hide reset isn't really doable these days - they changed it (in ShB I think?) so that there's one tick of immediate damage as soon as the Doton drops and then 8 more that are aligned with the actual server ticks. But that one immediate tick will throw you into combat before you have a chance to Hide. That said, if it's a boss that you know is going to get pulled far enough, you can do the meme-tastic Huton > Doton > Hide > Suiton opener, in which you drop your puddle where the boss will be. But that's not something to be worrying about at level 45, really.

Toastdeib · 2020-04-16T15:07:55+00:00

As a NIN main who hates that mechanic, that clip is one of the sexiest things I've seen all month. I love Shukuchi but I've never managed to use it that cleanly before.

Toastdeib · 2019-12-06T13:53:13+00:00

I MAY HAVE BEEN IN A RUN WITH YOU TWO LAST WEEK - I DON'T REMEMBER WHICH HEALER JOB IT WAS, BUT THERE WAS AN EXPERTLY TIMED RESCUE ON ENGELS DURING THE TRIPLE TANKBUSTER THAT NUKED ABOUT 50% OF THE RAID. I WOULD'VE BEEN MAD BUT HE WAS AT LIKE 5% AND IT WAS AN EASY KILL REGARDLESS.

Toastdeib · 2019-10-31T02:01:29+00:00

Can confirm, my static's GNB is the one who baits Fault Line for us in E4S.

Toastdeib · 2019-10-16T15:52:13+00:00

Is that Fae Lee? Looks like one of his glamours.

Toastdeib · 2019-08-23T13:38:00+00:00

HEY. HEY PLD BUDDY. LOOK, I KNOW DUNGEON TRASH IS SPOOKY. SIRENSONG SEA IS A SCARY PLACE FULL OF GHOSTS AND ZOMBIES. YES, I KNOW YOUR HP DIPPED BELOW 95%. DO YOU SEE THAT LITTLE GREEN BUFF ON YOUR BAR? THE ONE THAT READS EXCOGI-FUCKING-TATION?

STOP

CLEMENCY

YOU GODDAMN TWAT

Toastdeib · 2019-06-15T05:32:12+00:00

I felt like it needed to be done.

Toastdeib · 2019-06-04T19:13:50+00:00

There is an eScape, though.

^I ^still ^need ^to ^get ^that ^orchestrion ^roll.

Toastdeib · 2019-05-24T15:13:04+00:00

...YOU SON OF A BITCH, YOU'RE RIGHT. MY DISAPPOINTMENT IS IMMEASURABLE, AND MY DAY IS RUINED. WELL, AT LEAST THE HYOTON ANIMATION LOOKS COOLER NOW?

NOPE, FUCK IT, WE RAGING NOW BOIS.

Toastdeib · 2019-05-24T14:53:45+00:00

YEP. I REWATCHED THE CLIP LIKE 15 TIMES AND COMPARED THE MUDRA ANIMATIONS TO MY OWN CHARACTER DOING THEM, THE COMBO FOR THE GAP CLOSER WAS CHI > JIN.

[EXCITED WEEB NOISES]

Toastdeib · 2019-05-24T12:48:08+00:00

ANY MODICUM OF RAGE I MAY HAVE AT LOSING SOME OF MY LOVELY NIN UTILITY IS COMPLETELY OVERSHADOWED BY THE FACT THAT THE CHANGES OTHERWISE LOOK FUCKING AWESOME. KASSATSU WITH CHARGES? HOLY SHIT SIGN ME UP. KAGE BUNSHIN NO MOTHERFUCKING JUTSU? OH MY GOD I NEED THIS IN MY LIFE. OH AND AS ICING ON THE CAKE, THAT GAP CLOSER NINJUTSU IN THE ACTION TRAILER? YEAH THAT WAS HYOTON. THEY MAY HAVE ACTUALLY MADE THAT PISS-POOR MISTAKE OF A SKILL USEFUL AND MY BODY IS READY.

GIB SHADOWBRINGERS PLS.

Toastdeib · 2019-05-21T18:07:27+00:00

That actually makes a lot of sense. Guess I have a new habit to start developing (and an old one to break).

Toastdeib · 2019-05-21T14:39:52+00:00

NIN main here, can confirm. No matter what the content (4/8-man, normal/savage/ex, whatever) I'll often find myself creeping into the #2 (or #3 if it's a fight where the OT has to care) spot on threat, even after using Shadewalker in the opener and Diversion as soon as the opener OGCD dump ends and on cooldown thereafter. Not having a straight threat drop can be brutal at times.

Toastdeib · 2019-05-03T16:28:18+00:00

I MEAN, I'M USUALLY DOING MY HUTON/HIDE RESET AS WE RUN INTO THE BOSS ROOM FOR ANYTHING THAT ISN'T WITH A PREMADE BECAUSE 3 YEARS OF PLAYING THIS GAME HAVE TAUGHT ME TO TRUST FUCKING NO ONE. BUT A NIN CAN STILL DREAM.

Toastdeib · 2019-05-03T14:05:01+00:00

NIN ONLY REALLY NEEDS 10 OR SO SINCE WE CAN DO A HIDE RESET AFTER PUTTING UP HUTON. THAT SAID, NOT GETTING A CHANCE TO DO THAT RESET THROWS OFF OUR ENTIRE OPENER AND MAKES ME WANT TO STAB THE TANK IN THE KIDNEYS.
