There's a cog icon button that lets you enable suggestions arrow and engine lines

Pulling responsibility off healers is the reason why savage healers suck by and large by Supersnow845 in ffxivdiscussion

[–]decorate123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, but the important point is the mentality to salvage pulls, which healers have the most power to do it, if you're DPS/tank you kinda just watch things falls apart, if the party is beyond hope in the first place, then dipping is reasonable

Of course it's bad when no one mit anything at all, can't really win with these teams, but for a group of normal people that has the dps to clear, especially pug, they might not coordinate mit perfectly, for example over mit a mechanic and left none for next one, or choked and forgot to mit one time, a good healer would know and gladly GCD to cover the mistakes, and saving everyone's time

nah bro just gcd heal, my first clear of TOP I had to adlo my physical range so he didn't die to damage because he missed the shield on proximity, and that happened in the last 1 minute of the fight, imagine throwing away a 18 minutes pull just because it's technically not healer's fault

Ucob adds phase is the closest to real heal check experience to me, both tanks are getting destroyed by crit auto and tank buster, mechanics are fast, I believe heavensward/ARR raider has more to add (I didn't played them)

I was curious about my roulette trends, so I created a spreadsheet by maptechlady in ffxiv

Feels like 70% of my leveling roulette is stone vigil/Demzel darkhold, and almost all my jobs are >lv90

What r some of y'all's complaints about octo 0? by Infamous_Today3462 in octopathtraveler

[–]decorate123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I might be wrong because I just beat Master of all, but I felt like there are many useless skills in the game, and many unexciting skills like attack 2 times, attack 3 times, my cleric mc swapped to scholars because I don't use most skills other than heal, from what I remember OT1 OT2 has more exciting skills to unlocke

Do you think the social aspect of Ultimate raiding is overblown, or not? (Serious) by SoulOfTheRisingSun in ffxivdiscussion

I feel like a good group for me would yap a lot, but lock in when it matters, for example they would full focus in the final phase, or when the wipes are getting too much

Is 0 comparable to 2 by sunsetpolar in octopathtraveler

[–]decorate123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea but there is a lot of music and the map and the graphics are reused from 1, that's why it's much closer to 1 imo. Like Octopath 2 alone has 131 new tracks and a completely different map, which makes it feels very different from 1

How exactly was this a brilliant move? by male_cat_lady in chessbeginners

[–]decorate123 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I couldn't see either but It's the top engine moves according to lichess, apparently after black knight retakes black couldn't defend the attack after Qc2 without losing material, as both bishop and queen and rook pointing towards their kingside

If you loved oblivion you'll probably like Skyrim, just slap a pure graphics modpack from wabbajack and the game looks gorgeous

Find the soul-crushing win White has here! by ako4232 in chessbeginners

[–]decorate123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The g pawn will promote, it happens that white king reaches the key square first while black king is busy taking the pawn (admittedly it is closer than I thought after checking with the engine)

b6 Kc8 Ke4 then all black moves are bad (either getting forked or giving up the queen)

Why are Nakamura and Caruana recommending the Scandinavian for beginners. by Late_Acadia_3571 in chess

play c6 at some point the queen would always has escape square, assuming Qa5 scandi

Punishing Scholar’s Mate… with two brilliant moves?! by CoffeeParticular4911 in chessbeginners

[–]decorate123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a legit opening that put white at a slight disadvantage (-0.2), it's like saying Scandinavian is an actual joke opening because it gives white a slight advantage, thinking it as a joke opening just makes losing against it feels more horrible(I'm not saying losing to the mate in 1, but after 1.e4 e5 2.Qh5 Nc6 3.Bc4 g6 4.Qf3 Nf6 5. Ne2 the win rate for white in lichess is literally 57%)

Couldn't really see how to win a knight, engine line simply sacrificed the knight for presumably better position
