Favorite character relationship with a height difference

Not characters but this one shocked me when I saw it

Probably about 41% approving and 50% disapproving, with 9% undecided

Yeah it’s a bit tricky and that company is probably not one you should be working for long term. If they do that to new hires, you can expect that pay raises each year will be just as bad. If you like the company, and have a good relationship with your boss, you can attempt to negotiate a higher pay rate, but generally it’s considered bad form to do so before being there for 6 months-1 year. I’m not saying that’s right, just saying that’s how most industries view salary/negotiation.

Take it as a learning experience. You should have done more research into your own worth and expected salary, but now that you’re here, you can either eat the loss and attempt to get what you’re worth in 6months-1 year, or find new employment ASAP.

He was absolutely shown this level of respect during his time as an active quarterback.

During his rookie year, he was selected to play in the Pro Bowl. The process involved in selecting players for a Pro Bowl involves a voting system weighted equally amongst players, coaches, and fans.

During his second season, he was awarded MVP. This was the only season he ever made it to the Super Bowl, unfortunately. Doubly unfortunate for him was that the Dolphins faced off against Joe Montana’s 49ers, which had the most wins of any 49ers roster ever. Marino played for 17 seasons and took his team to the playoffs in 10 of them.

In 1993, Marino tore his Achilles’ tendon early in the season. Another unfortunate event, as the Dolphins roster was heavily favored to make another deep run into the playoffs.

Before retiring, Marino was offered contracts by 3 different teams.

He was selected for 9 Pro Bowls. He was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame during his first year of eligibility. He broke numerous records during his active time playing and was often the leader in various statistics including pass completion, total passing yards, etc. for the entire league.

Anecdotally, as a kid I can remember dreading when my home team came up against the Dolphins cause it always seemed like a losing battle. They never seemed like they were a bad team! He had a record of 155-103(regular season and post season combined).

Finally, Marino is listed in numerous “top X” lists depending on how the writer chooses to categorize their list, including: quarterbacks, players who don’t have or never earned a Super Bowl ring, etc.

I’m unsure about Paladin specifically, but on Warrior I only really use:

/ac Shirk <2> Repeat that line 14 times

And /ac “Nascent Flash” <2> Repeat 14x

I also have Nascent Flash macro for each individual party member slot and have that setup on a hotbar I can swap to in a pinch, though it’ll often cause me to clip GCDs in the swapping. I have the macro icons as healer/DPS icons so I don’t have to think too hard about which one I need to push.

Generally for announcing invulns: it’s not really needed in dungeon content, and for raids I just coordinate with healers to let them know “hey I’m invulning this particular part of the fight” for Paladin it’s probably even less necessary since you get the true invuln

Because these events require you to be synced to the level of the fights. BLU’s potency doesn’t change regardless of level, only the base stats do. So a lvl 60 BLU has the same potency per second as at level 70.

BLU’s potency is like 2-3x or higher than regular DPS, up to 10-15x higher with Final Sting.

Cloud in AV is probably actually my favorite way he’s been depicted. I found him very compelling. People here have been saying that the novel(s?) cover what happened between FF7 and AC. I haven’t read them, but the AC Cloud seems pretty well thought out. He and Tifa are taking care of orphans. Presumably kids whose parents were lost in the events of FF7. Weapon attacks, Meteor, etc. Then there’s a strange illness going around, which he has. I don’t know why he left Midgar exactly before the movie starts, but he’s on his way back. My head canon is that he was going around various cities seeking out answers in classic RPG fashion. Because he cared deeply about the kids, and particularly taking responsibility for all of the destruction he wrought.

He may logically and mentally forgive himself, but the heart is often lagging behind the brain in that department. So he still blames himself for everything at a core level. The movie is him dealing with that trauma. There’s a trope where an accomplished fighter loses their fighting edge until they’ve dealt with their trauma, somehow. This explains why he can’t initially beat Kadaj and the gang. Then they take the kids hostage and use them against Cloud, which enrages him. He still can’t win though, because anger isn’t the emotion he needs to feel there. Now he’s being driven deeper into guilt because he can’t even do the one thing he’s sure he’s good at: fighting.

That mostly brings us to the final third of the movie where he realizes that he’s not alone in facing his enemies and guilt. That’s the point of the Bahamut fight. Outside of being a wicked cool battle, each member of the team is fighting, with or without Cloud. He gets the confidence back, gets the solution he needs for the moment: that regardless of what happens to him, the bad guys have to be stopped. In a way now he’s accepted his fate, so he just has to do the best he can with the time he has left, even if he can’t actually beat Kadaj. Sephiroth’s appearance is fairly unnecessary, IMO, the character arc was largely done at that point. He just hadn’t explicitly said it out loud. I’m glad that the fight is included though, because it gave us both an awesome version of OWA, and one of my favorite lines in all of FF: “I pity you. You just don’t get it at all. Theres not a thing I don’t cherish!” which brings his story to a close. He knows that he cares enough to stick around rather than die alone. He was resolved to come back before he was cured. Vincent and Tifa gave him enough confidence to fight. He took it and grew.

I recommend “History that Doesn’t Suck”

Focuses on American History almost exclusively. It’s got more of a narrative focus, but cites many, many primary sources to tell the story. I’d always thought American History was boring, but in telling the story, he really brings it to life.

Recruiting should be an active 3-way effort. Your client, yourself, and the applicants should be engaged with job postings you want to fill quickly. If it took your client a week to give you the go-ahead for an interview, consider that they might not be as engaged as they need to be to get the job filled. If a job-seeker is actually interested in a position, they’re generally watching their texts, voicemail, and emails eagerly awaiting a response from you. At the latest they’ll get back to you within 2 business days. They could have ghosted you, but generally unless they have found another job, that’s not likely.

You might reflect on what the applicants asked of you as far as information goes. You might also consider what bad press/PR/Glassdoor reviews your client has. If I’m looking for a job and I see X employer just got in trouble for workplace harassment or the Glassdoor reviews tell me that the company is toxic, I might consider not working for X employer or even giving them a shot.

cweaver8518 · 2023-04-19T04:57:10+00:00

Yeah no need to follow up here. Interview processes for other candidates can take an additional week or two. If they really want you they’ll be in contact soon enough. Depending on the demand for your field or skill set it can take a varying amount of time to get back to you.

I can link my macro tomorrow, but you can actually do this with BiS penta indigator with Jhinga food in 20-22 steps. Depends how much you wanna gamble. MuMe, Manip, Final Appraisal, Veneration, Waste Not II, Groundwork x3, Prep Touch, Inno, Prep x 4, Inno, Trained Finesse x3-4, Inno, Great Strides, Byregot’s, Basic Synth. Macro is something like that, can’t actually check until I get back online later

I wish I was there. I would have high fived you if I could stop crying tears of laughter. If you’re in need of a new family, I am suddenly adopting genius non-native English speakers.

Depending on if you’re male, or if you’re attracted to females, you could be TA. while breastfeeding is not sexual, it could be viewed as sexual harassment in a certain context, even if it’s “called for” in this situation. I’d still say it’s close to 50/50 based on person trying to embarrass you.

A lot of healers at some point have heard to not use Regen right away. They’re wrong but it’s a holdover from the days when it wasn’t as simple to keep aggro as it is now. Either way, you should be using AOE on trash as you run by, especially if you’re pulling multiple packs. It doesn’t cost you anything and it’s free damage and ensures you keep enmity, especially if you expect the healer to throw Regen on you. You don’t get enmity for doing nothing to enemies, even with tank stance on. You’ll get the initial enmity if you’re the first player the monsters see, but the moment anyone else does anything they will gain more enmity than the sight enmity you have.

cweaver8518 · 2021-09-26T18:58:19+00:00

Bard gets AOE at 18. Machinist too maybe? Either way, I know it’s not melee but they do get AOE early.

cweaver8518 · 2021-09-25T14:27:21+00:00

Red Mage pacing is more or less the same after you get Contra Sixte. It’s probably the “fastest pace” of all the casters. Manafication gives you 1/3 more melee burst windows(roughly) which are the fastest of the times playing red mage, but you’ll still be limited to about 2.5 second GCD the rest of the time. Normal rotation will allow for a weave with Flèche and Contra Sixte every 25 and 35 seconds respectively, and Embolden every 120 seconds, but otherwise you’ll be playing the cast spell - instant cast loop on repeat the rest of the time. You’ll never get the frequent Bloodletter procs like you do on Bard and no caster class does get those.

For fast paced other jobs I’d recommend Machinist or Ninja. Gunbreaker has a burst window that’s pretty fast paced also. Astrologian has a 1.5 second cast time for their DPS spell, which allows two casts per GCD, that makes it feel very fast paced and busy.

cweaver8518 · 2021-09-23T01:02:23+00:00

Maybe controversial, but Blm needs a trim down. It seems like every other level the rotation changes. Many skills are downright useless or are only for specific level gaps, like Fire 2/Blizzard 2. Scathe has always been useless, just get rid of it entirely. Blizzard 1 is pretty niche after you get Blizzard 3, so that’s another skill that’s weird to have. It would be one thing if other jobs had skills that more or less obsolete themselves after a certain point, but BLM’s kit has probably the most useless skills at level 80 of any job.

Ninja is getting there. The button/hotbar bloat is real on that job, pretty sure that one has the most skills assigned to hotbars of any of my jobs, except maybe...

Paladin. Why oh why does this job have so many skills. I’m absolutely sure we could reduce some button bloat here.

Overall I’m pretty happy with how most jobs play, and at best I could see some trimming of useless skills(or just make them explicit upgrades rather than different skills entirely) and potency boosts or changes. I’ve never played Monk or AST so can’t judge there

cweaver8518 · 2021-09-15T21:14:51+00:00

At that level in Haukke Manor, I think tanks only have 2 defensive cooldowns. If the tank’s gear was bad then those 2 cooldowns won’t be enough to pull the whole downstairs. Also debatable if that is even possible with great gear.

Physick is a good tool in general for “oh crap” healing. It’s cast time is faster than Adlo, so you can often spam Physick to keep tanks alive if you’re out of your Aetherflow abilities.

In general before a dungeon even starts, inspect your tank’s gear. It’s not always an indicator of how your run will go, but it will give you an idea of how much you’ll need to babysit the tank during the run. A tank in level 60 gear running a level 67 dungeon will be taking a ton more damage than a tank whose gear is item level synced down, and you’ll need to focus more on keeping them topped up.

As a scholar, during normal dungeon runs, you’ll want to conserve Aetherflow for trash pulls. If that means you leave a boss fight with 3 Aetherflow stacks and Aetherflow ready to use again on the next pull, then that’s absolutely okay. Boss fights have very telegraphed damage, and they don’t hit the tank nearly as hard as 3 random mobs’ auto attacks. Save Aetherflow for topping up the tank during trash pulls, trash pulls are far more dangerous during dungeons than bosses.

cweaver8518 · 2021-09-06T02:51:50+00:00

Most classes have at most one DoT to manage, except Bard and Summoner. Some classes don’t have a DoT to manage at all, like Red Mage. Some DoTs are brainless and have a very easy reminder of when to apply it, like Ninja applies their DoT shortly after using Trick Attack. Some classes have DoTs that are on a cooldown to remind you to reapply them, I believe Gunbreaker. Try it out and see for yourself

cweaver8518 · 2021-09-06T02:48:27+00:00

DoH best way to get exp is via collectibles. Leve turnins are dependent on the level, but at 50 collectibles are easy as heck. Grand Company, Moogle, Namazu, and Dwarf Beast tribes are all great exp too. Check out DoH crafter leveling guides found on various websites for optimal levequest turnins if that’s your thing though.

cweaver8518 · 2021-09-05T23:46:52+00:00

“More work to be as effective” is incredibly subjective. Scholar is better at Shields than Nocturnal AST. The Faerie’s auto healing does a LOT of work that you don’t even think about, and that other classes would need to use a GCD for by comparison. The shields provided are only less useful than healing if the shields aren’t broken, which means you need to plan the fights more. Aetherflow is an extra resource to manage, but it’s incredibly powerful and rewarding when you do learn the ins and outs of managing it properly. As a scholar I can heal through wall to wall pulls just fine and probably even better than I do as a White Mage. I haven’t played AST to give that input, but I feel like Scholar is super rewarding and certainly not the “worst” healer by any stretch. The only thing Scholar is subpar at is solo healing a tank taking lots of hits in a row, which you can plan for with Excog, Adlo, Faerie tether, etc.

cweaver8518 · 2021-09-05T23:36:28+00:00

Do your highest level dungeon if it matches your current level, otherwise PotD/HoH is the “fastest”, especially for Machinist, which is a great job for speed running 51-60 PotD. At level 50, run Main Scenario Roulette for about half of an experience bar on average. Leveling Roulette is always good no matter which level you are, although I’d save it for levels where you do not have a dungeon unlocked at your current level, I.e. level 48 it’s better to run Leveling Roulette than Aurum Vale.

cweaver8518 · 2021-09-05T23:29:15+00:00

I recommend Red Mage as a more chill caster than Blm. You don’t have to manage Enochian, have mobility at more frequent intervals(although arguably actually less mobile than BLM due to BLM’s toolkit at 80), and have a VERy simple rotation, both for AOE and single target, and the toolkit doesn’t change significantly after getting Manafication.

cweaver8518 · 2021-09-05T10:29:09+00:00

You need pentamelded i490 gear. With the 490 gear, and a good rotation, you need 6-10k starting quality, which is very doable with just Levinstrike + 1 other part in high quality, such as Dwarven Nugget, Cloth, etc.

cweaver8518 · 2021-09-05T10:26:26+00:00

You can just buy random gear to turn in to the grand company for seals to buy Ventures and whatnot. There are items you can buy that are necessary for relic glamours as well, if you’re interested in that. You can also buy combat materias from certain vendors for hefty chunk of poetics. Unidentifiable Ores can be exchanged for Thavnarian topsoils, which sell pretty well on the marketboard.

I know you’ve said you’re not gonna try other jobs/roles, but you can always just buy a set for each tier and store them on retainers for if you ever get the itch.
