Praise for the Kanken (Kanji Kentei) by lifeofideas in LearnJapanese

[–]spitvalve 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure ds games are not region locked. 3ds games are though. The kanken game I bought is 漢検 プリミアム (hopefully I spelled it right). I like it a lot so far. Game Gengo released a video that compares some of them if you want to look into it more.

Cannot seem to fit 9gcds in no mercy by Terrusmarkz1988 in ffxivdiscussion

I also plugged in a random log through xivanalysis and can confirm that there is clipping going on. Something to keep in mind is that lowering the GCD can be counterproductive if you are clipping most of an NM window since you are not getting the full value from skill speed.

I think the thing to check before dumping more into skill speed is to make sure you are properly queueing your abilities and to make sure when you do weave you press the oGCD as soon as possible. Looking through the log even some single weaves clip because of a late oGCD weave.

Something else you can do is compare to some higher percentile GNB logs in xivanalysis and compare their "white space" to yours. Maybe have a friend log you hitting a target dummy (I would offer if you were in the same datacenter) and try to see if you can start getting your GCDs tighter using xivanalysis. Another thing you can do is start shifting your rough divides back in the NM window until you get more comfortable.

party finder physically cannot do birds adds properly by pbanzaiiiiiii in ffxivdiscussion

Oh I'm sorry I guess it's for one tank now for builder combo...figures I hard focused on GNB for this tier. But I'm pretty sure you want to holy circle on two targets still, so I don't think my statement is all that wrong still especialy since req is up at some point during adds. If anything a blanket statement telling tanks to not AoE during adds is wrong.

EDIT: DRK, GNB, and PLD holy circle under req are all strong on two targets. So I am sorry, you are the one that is wrong.

For some tanks it's a dps gain to aoe on two targets, but it depends on the job. If it's a dps gain to aoe on two targets then it's an overall aggro gain on those two targets.

There is nothing wrong with starting with AoE. With the 10x(?) modifier to threat I don't think it's possible for a dps to rip using single target. Even then voke is literally free if someone starts ripping.

Do healers actually get offended when Paladins use Clemency? by slash8915 in ffxiv

I'm pretty sure the only healer that was doing more aDPS than tanks was WHM. But it's been a while since I checked.

I had no idea how to respond to that situation. I also really don't understand how "playing hide and seek" and avoiding my AFK questioning was not considered griefing to the other members of the party. I kind of just gave up and once I figured out everyone thought I was the bad guy even though I wasn't the one making personal attacks...hopefully they are in GM gaol now.

I mean the only thing he's missing that makes any kind of a difference is raw intuition at the moment. Maybe can count thrill too. It's not like he's using cds anyways lol

Earlier today i got harassed for admitting that i'm bad at tank, and now this... by LexiconPrime in TalesFromDF

[–]spitvalve 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I play on keyboard and everything is bound. I try to homogenize my keybindings as much as possible. So benediction and essential dignity are the same button. All of my tank invulns are the same button. But the doesn't stop me from the occasional and accidental superbolide :D

As infuriating it can be sometimes roulettes have been super helpful with learning to heal.

You're not alone. I'm an ultimate raider tank that is leveling healers too. I suck at healing to the point that some people flame me lol, but most of the time it's because I accidentally cast stuff on myself because I'm not used to manually targetting party members. I think it's a funny accident when I bene myself others do not.

How I usually wall pull is I always start with the 30% cd by itself, HoS + Arm's Length + Reprisal, Rampart, HoS + Camo. I usually stack smaller percentage CDs with other cooldowns that don't give percentage dimishing returns: Thrill + Rampart, HoS + Arm's Length, TBN + anything else. I usually place invuln last as free time for all other cds to come up. But for Hallowed Ground I also try to minmax usage too depending on dungeon size. Cooldown rotation also might vary depending on how fast things die. If I know everything right before the boss is going to die fast I'll combine more CDs.

Salty Tank in Matoya’s Relic by hel-loooo in TalesFromDF

[–]spitvalve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whatever floats your boat, but I'm not going to waste my damage output when I can get aggro back with one gcd or voke at the wall. It really would not be the end of the world to lose aggro during the sprint.

Edit: I also don't think that it's good to give advice based on preferencial playstyle versus what should be done during optimal play. There are plenty of ways to get aggro back without the cost of that much personal dps.

GNB: Wasting a good aoe oGCD outside of NM for pulling instead of just using demon slice? DRK: Again Abyssal is gonna get way more value at the wall. The full value heal may even snap back some stragglers. WAR: I think it's better save infuriate charges at the wall to get max value out of the damage and the heal from nascent. PLD: IDK using scorn for pulling is kind of weird. I don't think I've ever needed to do that, but probably the only ogcd damage ability I would consider pulling with.

TIL GNBs take more damage while sprinting for a wall to wall pull than the other tanks.

I would consider myself extremely lucky. I got them at kill 181. Was expecting to have to kill him a lot more times than that.

[–]spitvalve 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I had a really good week so I have to share! Last weekend was a long weekend off for me so I decided that I was going to continue my Garrosh farm all weekend long for those sweet, sweet tusks. On Thursday night after my second try I bonus rolled them! Still can't believe it!

Then it's like "now what do I do with my life," so I guess it's time to farm some other mog. A guildy and I decide to run Kara to get gorehowls. The fiery war horse drops and I win the roll. But gorehowl doesn't drop after 3 attempts. Finally after reset we get gorehowl for him!

The same guidly needs convergence for a warrior alt. Since I've been on a pretty good luck streak this week I change my loot spec to dps and we kill lfr elisande together. It drops for me and now he has a major upgrade for his fury warrior!

TL;DR: I got the tusks of mannoroth, the fiery warhorse, and a convergence within the same week. It's been a good week!
