    Alexander Discussion, Round 2: Wait is this the easy mode thread?

    Surprised a thread hadn't been made yet. Anyway, general discussion, questions, theorycrafting (mostly for Savage), etc can go here.

    To start it off, how's drops been for everyone so far, and which turn do you guys like/dislike the most? Have you guys planned out how best to optimize your roles drops for the three lockouts you have before going into Savage?



    Edit: Wasn't aware there was already a thread for this, since it's in the wrong section. Not sure which we want to use (or just move the other one here).

    I see. Not sure why it's in the Theorycrafting section, but okay. Disregard this then.

    this week: 2 foot seal, 2 hand seals. +1 accessory from final quest.
    next week: 2 accessory seal, 2 leg seals.
    following week: 1 belt, 1 accessory, 2 leg + esoteric/savage gear release

    This is what myself and my off tank agree'd would be ideal for decent gear progression before the actual raiding content.

    Already capped for this week, favorite turn is probably turn 1, seeing the nukes become mini just makes me laugh.

    For tanks I'd say feet + 2 leg tokens this week and waist, accessory and 2 more leg tokens next week is optimal. I'm doing the waist and accessory this week and feet next week though just so my MNK can play with the extra accessory too. The top half of the tank set is pretty shit so I think hands are a waste and you're putting off getting the amazing legs an entire extra week.

    One token/item per turn, per week, so four total per week. Certain tokens only come from certain turns though.

    Same reason we have some job discussions in general and the others in advanced, someone needs to put them all in 1.

    It counts down from 30 and starts at 5 stacks. The higher the stack number, the stronger the dot tick. Every 6 seconds it will lose a stack. Meaning it starts off strong (3.3k~ ticks) then gets progressively weaker (600+ ticks with one stack). If you run into someone, you pass the debuff. Healers have separate debuffs. If healers run into each other they get both and they both die instantly.

    Edited: I actually don't think distance has anything to do with the dot, just the number of stacks.

    I'm a little disappointed we were able to figure out the raid before we could figure out the lyrics to the raid BGM.

    I can only pick out about ~60% of what is being said. The voice distortion along with some of the sounds playing through out the song make picking up certain words rather difficult. When both female and male voices are singing together it's also kinda difficult to pick up on what is being said.

    Code:
    Seeking the peace of reason
    {Shaping a piece that's season?}
    Reason to keep it {even?}
    Waking the beast that's sleeping.
    
    I know this destiny you're caught in a {????} and the mockings the {???? ????? ??????}
    I know this is going to service, put the spring in your step, just step, just step, one two three.
    
    Our worlds a fantasy is more than just a test, and feeding off the fallecy creating this nasty {?????}
    Inside this big machine with all the rats, {do things, do things?} {electricity?}
    
    Try turning up the volume
    Try turning on the {???}
    No telling for tomorrow
    For {????} your journey began
    
    Twenty-two seconds testing
    Fragments in one direction
    Submission is {more than ?????}
    The theory of the unsuspected
    Standing to give into reason
    Timing {???} of the defense{?}
    Conviction gone all faded
    {????? ???? ???? ??????}
    
    I know this is your destiny alone in a trance, there is no escapeing from this waking dream, no hope that you see.
    The {more is calling?} the spring, and why, this low, this grade, {delighted to me?}
    
    
    Your worlds a fantasy, you failed the test and be forging on your fallecy creating your master plan.
    You're in this big machine with the rest, D.Cing, dying, dying, electricitys
    
    Falling right back into the system
    Falling back on our stream.
    We're falling back right onto the system
    We're falling right back into the stream.
    It's falling back right in with the system.
    So you can fall back into the stream.
    So you can fall back into the {???? System maybe?}
    Falling back into the {systems?} again.
    
    {Sounds to break the rhythm}?
    Memory broke and beaten
    {???? ????? ??? ?????}
    {???? ???? ??? ??????}
    {???? ????? ???? ????}
    Suspended of this {???????}
    {????? ???? ???? ?????}

    Feel free to throw in what you think is right, what you think I've put in that was wrong. Just putting it out there as a baseline to be built off of, I'm sure a lot of what I thought I heard even when playing the song at 10,15,25,35,50% normal speeds over and over again is not correct.

    Code:
    Seeking the peace of reason,
    Shaping up peace last season,
    Reason to keep believing,
    Waking the beast - stop sleeping.
    
    I know this destiny: you're caught in a trance and the mockings [aren't a kind of?] dream, no sign of advance, you see.
    The mortal coil we serve is taut like a spring; step back, just step, two-step, just step, one-two-three.
    
    Our world's a fantasy, no more than a test, and the feeding off the fallacy creating this mess deep down.
    Inside this bleak machine with all of the rats, break free, [two things? two fangs? two something?] electricity.
    
    Try turning up the volume,
    Try turning on those [old ways?],
    No time enough tomorrow,
    [Foe turning?] let your journey begin!
    
    Twenty-two seconds testing,
    Fragments in one direction,
    Celestial noise detected,
    The million unsuspecting,
    Standing to live to reason,
    Time in the [near-far?] deepens,
    Condition's begun [???],
    Send 'em to plea to listen.
    
    I know this destiny: alone in a trance, no escaping from this waking dream, no hope for advance, you see.
    The mortal coil we serve is naught but a spring; unwind, too slow, too quick, to what you believe.
    
    Your world's a fantasy, you failed the test, ever forging all-new fallacies creating more misdirects.
    Move through this big machine with all of the rest--d/c! Dying, dying! Electricity!
    
    Falling back right into the system,
    Falling back on our own two legs.
    We're falling back right out of the system,
    Means falling back right into this space.
    Yes, falling back right in with the system.
    [???] falling gradually.
    But falling back is better than [???]
    Falling back into pieces again.
    
    Sounds that we've been breathing,
    Memory wipe and bleeding,
    Everything deleting,
    Radicals flow and freeing,
    Energy slowly seeping,
    Suspending all disbelief in
    Synergy with our being.
    Set off his[its?] fire and free him[them?].

    I'm going for:

    Feet/Feet/Legs/Legs
    Acc/Head/Legs/Legs
    Waist/Head/Hands/Hands

    Will give me all left hand side apart from Chest for savage as well as two accessories (including the free one). I'm hoping the new tome chestpiece has better stats. I'll be crying if it doesn't but only myself to blame.

    roll all the fuck you can, anything, everything for your main

    when you got leftovers by then use it to gear your subs

    end of story. this set of gears is just darklight +1 you guys are way overplanning lol

    HOWEVER, seeing that it just takes 3 hours to get all 4 items if you roll anything, i guess that planning can keep 1 occupied for the rest of weeks

    It took me all of a minute or two to come up with that, and its not like there is any other content to do at the moment or that it takes long to get your items when in a static.
