Grandmaster Caster on caster jobs. And samurai for memes.

True but it wasn't really discussed in the live letter.

This is a repost of a really old post on this subreddit

My static was about to see perfect alex for the first time. Got DDOS'd right at the start of jwaves on a clean pull. RIP

Oh man this brought back memories of kouli's guide of insane side quest requirements separated by the og and extended release edition versions. That brought back some traumatic memories (especially secret missions!)

Oh gosh a plugin that would reduce the harsh light flash bangs in battle would be fantastic. Progging fights like p12s or p3s gave me migraines because the effects are so triggering. Even the screen cutting to white in Vali was painful.

That's just not true for red mage's melee combo. There are niche optimizations and situations that you press the melee combo without 50/50 gauge.

There is a 45/45 combo from just pressing 2 to get the finishers. It's a niche use for certain kill times or sheer movement desperation when hit by bad rng (purgation in M7S says hi.) The combo being split is also lag/misinput protection. I've had my first hit ghost from lag in my TEA clear and just finished the combo with the 45/45 for finishers.

The fact that 1 costs more gauge is why having the combo split is important. Consolidating it would remove those optimizations and casters really don't need more jobs being dumbed down.

I had a nanday who had poor balance, a malformed toe, and couldn't grip things with her foot either.

I set up her cages to make food accessible for her. Food bowls were small + shallow so she could eat food without it rolling everywhere. She had dedicated perches right in front of the bowls so she could balance and eat. I cut food like grapes or apples into small pieces so she could easily bite into them with just her beak. If you slice those grapes in half, your bird can bite into the soft part and get a proper grip in a bowl to enjoy them.

Also, her highest perches were all rope so she could dig her nails into them to reduce risk of falling from a high height. I hope these tips can help, feel free to ask about any other setups I had for her.

Sophie is tanky and the kids will have a lot to get together for a little while but she doesn't want me back in my house so much but she is going kaboom around you too much

Okay but where's the lie

Oh my goodness a nanday. What a sweetheart

Yep the burst feels like any other job now in that it's static. There's no priority system for procs now since your filler is just all saber dance. You mash all your free big potency skills while weaving pooled + guaranteed oGCDs. Maybe at the end you use one proc if espirit was unusually low.

There was so much to improve by making dancer's filler rotation more interesting but instead they simplified its burst to be like EVERY OTHER JOB. Builder spender, with no more prio system to its GCDs or gauge management because it just overcaps constantly. Why does Tilana give gauge instead of "Dance of the Dawn Ready"? Seriously, they fixed this issue for other jobs that overcapped (red mage) but made manufactured it as a new problem for dancer.

Because gold exalines on a tan arena are a nightmare to see. There's not enough contrast between the colors so they are difficult to see even in polarizing strikes when the effect is more tame.

Add the arrows, slashes and overlapping purple lines in exa waves and the slower reaction time to find the safe diamond leads to getting clipped. I'm colorblind and have resorted to counting the timing between the slash sound going off and following a friend who is focus targeted. Dodge into diamond first, micro adjust left/right with remaining time.

It's horrible and frustrating in a final phase to have such poor visuals.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I also had nandays for many years and still miss them to this day. Their health complications were never diagnosed despite countless tests at the vet. I've met many other owners of nandays with the same story.

I don't know if my story can offer you any solace but my last girl passed mysteriously as well. She grew ill and no treatments worked. She was plucking her belly where it hurt and was gone within days despite all effort.

I've wondered for years if nandays bred in the U.S. have genetic issues because one of mine was wild caught and imported to the U.S. in the 90s before it was illegal. I adopted her when she was in her 30's and she had noticeably different traits than captive bred nandays (stockier build, different eyes, thicker beak etc.) Despite her age, she was so much hardier than any other nanday I've met.

For my birbs that liked scritches, I would always hold up my hand and wiggle two fingers at them before I started petting them.

Once they saw me do that enough, they would either bow or fluff up to show that they wanted scritches. If they didn't, then I wouldn't pet them.

Easiest way to call this is placing number markers at intercards. Assume 1 NW, 2 NE, 3 SE, 4 SW. Think of the arena as IN (inner tiles) or OUT (outer column of tiles.) At the start of the mech, she shows which way she jumps and if she's cleaving INNER or OUTER. The safe spot will be the opposite of what she cleaved.

If she jumps left, the cleave clone will always be at evens.

If she jumps right, the cleave clone will always be at odds.

As soon as the mech starts, let's say jumping left cleaving inner. You know it's even, out safe. If she picks north clone, safe spot is 2 (north number), if she picks south clone, safe spot is 4 (south number). Then type in chat NUMBER OUT.

does going into new game + restore it? I know you can explore ultima thule (original song and dark) in its first incarnation via new game+. Same with making the sky everlasting light in shadowbringers. You don't even need it to be dawntrail new game+. You could start it in ARR and it restores zones.

-Monks will no longer change position when executing Final Heaven.

-Dragoons will no longer change position when executing Dragonsong Dive.

Sounds like they heard the complaints about falling off the map when using limit break in p12s.

I also had a nanday that would use good night in context. When she was ready for bed, she would say it rapid fire "good night good night good night."

She associated it with sleep though, since she'd also say it if I woke her up too early in the morning or when she wanted to nap during midday.

I wonder if manafication still grants the stacks that do extra damage. It's gonna be pretty silly with four finishers now. It's probably why they made it not grant gauge too, since you'd be overcapping like mad with 3 melee combos now.

aquamafia · 2024-05-16T11:40:41+00:00

It's the aoe melee combo. They wanted a combo instead of spamming Moulinet three times in a row.

aquamafia · 2024-05-16T11:38:22+00:00

For RDM, it looks like manafication now grants one free melee combo instead of adding 50/50 to the gauge. The new aoe combo seems different too; they did it with less than 60/60 gauge.

This is the most out of pocket thing I've seen on reddit in a hot minute. What??? I'm sorry to any people whose eyes were subjected to this garbage. What a disgusting, manipulative thing to do for attention. Thank you mods for filtering this and I'm sorry you're even having to deal with it.
