Twintania downed because FFXIV is so much easier than [insert name here]

[shepardG]

Why are there 3 different twister spells in the dats?

two have instant cast times, 1 has 2 second cast times.

the two that cast instant have a 100 yalm range.
the one that is 2 seconds has 0 yalm.

Does this help?

not sure if Yalm is the correct measure of distance for the spells tbh.

Good find. And yes, yalms is the FFXIV measurement of range.

tank does his thang, 7 others stand inside or atleast touching her targeting reticle to see if she only casts the 2second cast one?


EDIT: if this works for the vast majority of folks strugling on turn 5 due to twister, i call "9th man ghost credit" when someone get's their gay little worlds first.

This is not how Range 0 skills work.

Range 0 skills are AOEs or self-casts. I have been looking through the databse for a while, and all this seems to mean is the skill is not directly used on a player.

Two examples of "understood" skills:
Range 0 skill: http://xivdb.com/?skill/1447/High-Voltage (AOE around ADS)
Range 100 skill: http://xivdb.com/?skill/1220/Gravity-Field (skill used on a specific player)

That said, the three Twister skills could still be interesting (mostly because they hint that Twister is more than it seems and not simply a traditional voidzone). This is my guess about how the db skills work:

1-Twintania uses the 2 second cast time Twister
2-Four players are selected and the Instant Twister skill is used on them

It'd make no sense to set up the skills like this unless some condition is checked between the two Twister skills.

He's just trying to whiteknight and argue with you for the fuck of it. He has no experience with the fight and is simply arguing because he wants to. You won't get anywhere, even though I agree with you.

lol

Yeah your mistake is that I'm trying to "prove" something (other than the fact everyone who disagrees with you is automatically labeled a troll). Somebody will prove it though, and then I'll be here laughing at what kind of crybabies ya'll are.

Anyone equiped the level 1 rings from the MSQline, the ones with no stat's that correspond to your chosen god?

possibly prevents twister K.O.?

This one?

The issue I see with this sort of stuff is that once it's discarded, you can't get it back, thereby ruining all chances at Twintania if this were to be true.

But it could be another item, craftable perhaps, perhaps it requires an item from CT (Onyxia Scale Cloak and Nefarian).

[Niiro]

He means the [god's name] rings.

Those were 1.0 only afaik.

We're getting to Absolute Virtue levels of speculation now. Kinda pathetic.

SE is well known to make randomness in their bosses to drag things out.

and lets be honest, randomness is the reason why mobs r "tough".

Just like in FFXI, random WS order from NMs at lvl 75 fafnir/nidhogg etc etc r reason why there is still a chance of wiping for a seasoned group of players. If you want totally programmed stuffs like HM titan, where everyone and their mum can basically memorise the entire fight after 3-4 days, then this game is just for fucking casuals

remember ifrit extreme? that shit isnt impossible but random WS orders r why it fucked people up. I still giggle a little when i read past comments about how titan HM is harder than ifrit extreme :X 99% of relics we see in ARR now wouldnt be there if we are needing ifrit extremes for hot ambers.

im glad twintania is "tough" till date. Turn 1-4 is just a complete joke after you do it vigorously.

I read shepard's god ring post as a joke tbh

Just wait until we get a video release from SE showing us exactly how to do it, even though there's literally nothing special about the video.

They'll zoom in on the twister.

Have people tried timing their 2 hours with Twin's?

[Gokulo]

Have people tried timing their 2 hours with Twin's?

Maybe when they add them.

[Elcura]

I still lol when people say "pop your 2hr" for emergency situations. I guess it sounds better than "pop your ~5min," though.

The fuck is a 2-hr in this game?

[Waraji]

^ Recently happened to us in an AK run where we were teaching someone new, and we kept calling LB 2hr. The dude was confused as to wtf he was supposed to use, then we realized we'd been calling it 2hr instead of Limit Break.

Although, 2-Hour in this game is your 160sec cooldown. Hallowed Ground, Benediction, etc.

[Elcura]

Except if you're one of 5 jobs that doesn't have it.

So it's not really even a 2 hour, since the only reason you referred to it as that was due to the consistency of every job having it. You tell a MNK to pop his "2hr" and he's going to be confused as all hell.
