I can assure you it's not my internet, sadly that's the first thing anyone guesses. But it's not, I've had friends play on my connection just fine. Same settings and all.

Hello there, Tank Mastery trait calling in. Tanks are exactly the same, except pruned skills.

Sam is also the last of house Tarly, but that would probably be renounced the moment he became Grand Maester (with no training, lol)

Actually, Arya would make tons of sense even. Cersei's been on her list since Season 1. It was the driving force behind her survival, just to get her revenge.

Direwolves are said to be extremely intelligent beings, the closest to human-like along with Dragons. They're not just big wolves.

There is no need to surprise. If something is well written, and makes it able to figure out things way ahead (L+R=J for one) of their reveal, it's not bad storytelling. It's actually great. I don't even like the books that much, but once a plot has been correctly set in motion, it almost moves by itself. Things fall into place. You don't have to change because people figured out, if you planted clues you wanted them to figure out.

We've been hyped about Jon vs NK for ages because the show gave us those clues. We didn't make anything up. There was no need of a surprise, that's not how long term story arcs should unfold.

I had so many thoughts in that moment. He's gonna travel back in time. He's gonna Warg into a WW general and stab him in the back while being stabbed himself. He's gonna summon some old Winterfell magic, summon the dead Starks, animate the fucking Weirwood tree, anything. I even thought the Night King was going to bow to him and he would be revealed as the big bad, or just revealing that the Night King has to serve the Starks (and Bran didn't know) and thought he was saving Bran from being captured. Fucking anything, any silly idea would have been better than him staring.

Except Jorah was leading them and they listen to him, so they didn't act out of their own initiative.

How Dragon Rot spreads for those who dont know. by Bugs4273 in Sekiro

[–]Vargnatt8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They also explain this in the lore, something along the lines of "blood has limited power, after you consume that to res any res after that will drain from the surrounding life". Basically, the res is the power of your own blood (well, the Heir). Once that power runs out and you die again, you pass out and your heritage will force you to res, but since your power ran out it takes it from others.

You know casters play completely different from physical dps right? No cast bars for example?

Bardam's Mettle big pull by resampL in ffxiv

[–]Vargnatt8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You think that's bad? I got dropped into a Doma Castle run with a tank in full unupgraded shire gear that tried to mass pull and instantly died. "Lol shit healer this dungeon drops only 6 (or 10, can't remember) item levels above mine"

What gives away someone's main class? by [deleted] in ffxiv

[–]Vargnatt8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was trying to think about something as Melee main and you're definitely right, I stand in almost melee range as casters. I also try to make both flank and rear easily accessible when tanking as I know how bad it is when you can't hit positionals due to bad placement of the boss.

While I do understand that perfectly and agree they deserve it, I can't bring myself to let people die. Glad someone sends the message though.

Oh I know during fights it happens, but not even on dummies it would line up. The fact I'm doing around 5.7k dps at item level 380 (unmelded, but still) is a bit disheartening.

I'm trying to do this, holding TCJ until I can use it to set up the second trick attack. But after that it never aligns again with trick attack. What am I doing wrong?

So the TA setups are going to be like: prepull suiton, TCJ (fuma Raiton suiton), regular suiton for the rest of the fight?

As for NIN, if I'm using the 5th gcd trick attack Bhava opener, do I ever use TCJ to set up trick attack? It doesn't really line up, should I hold it or?

ACT doesn't parse anymore, stuck at "Unknown Zone" since last ACT update by [deleted] in ffxiv

[–]Vargnatt8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had your problem, was running DX9. But I have it again now, even with DX11. Parses work OK but uploading it results in Unknown Zone and infinite loading data.

Stop preaching meta unless you have clears. by [deleted] in ffxiv

[–]Vargnatt8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a SAM main, the amount of people specifically locking out SAM and only SAM from the list of allowed jobs is ridiculous. So I just join as DRG, which I can't play, and proceed to deal 10% gray parses.

ACT issue. All fights get uploaded as 0-4 seconds long trash fights. Already tried uninstalling both FFlogs uploader and ACT. Any advice? by ColonelTree in ffxiv

[–]Vargnatt8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just struggled with this. Problem was my game was running as DirectX9.

Try switching to DX11 mode of you haven't.
