FFXIV Random Complaint Thread: Look forward to it

[AkirraKrylon]

What?

I bitched blm who doesn't lb3 all 4 spumes it hits levi anyway

Pretty much every single party that I've been in where the caster LB3's all 4 spumes, the next set of events are as follows:

1.) All 4 spumes died within 5 seconds of each other.

2.) Tidal Roars hit

3.) 1 or more party members die.

If you are in a party with good deeps, it makes no sense to LB3 all 4. Just LB the two near levi + head/tail. The other 3 DPS can begin killing the far 2 spumes and you will kill them all with plenty of time to recharge the converter.

Hell you could just save the LB3 altogether and just kill all 4 like the first set and still be fine. That's the strat I like best.

I personally prefer to:

1. LB2/3 the two near leviathan, hitting levi as well.
2. Finish off the spumes with time to spare.
3. Spam manderville dance while not attacking to prevent levi using his astral flow early.

This is also effective for Blighted Bouquet.

I totally spam manderville during tidal wave.

For my random levi complaint:

Can really only play when both kids are napping which is usually 3-5 during the day and after 9 at night. Just went in to try and get a group. got lucky that a group only needed one more person and it was a bard! (that never happens). So I am thinking, "fuck ya sweet, I can get some runs in." Go into the fight, adds pop start getting those 5 seconds freezing lags for about 20 seconds then a 90k. Quickly reset my computer, get back in, tell them if it happens again just replace me. It was fine for a few minutes but started lagging again...so fuck it.

I hate when that shit happens and I don't even know what is causing it. So I guess I'll wait until tonight and see if it's still acting funny.

Get less dumb melee?

Just make the DPS attack the 2 near tanks while LB3 hit all 4

at that time healers have enough time to full people before the last 2 dies and roar appears

If your healers cannot keep people up?

Get better healers

[Sephiroth]

Either way you do it the LB will hit 4 targets, and it makes way more sense for two of those targets to be the boss.

[Zeb]

When you target all 4 spumes with LB3, it does hit the boss too.

....why?

Either you're spending more time killing bubbles or you're spending more time damaging Levi.

[Deadgye]

One method you stand around doing the manderville dance for 30 seconds. The other method you spend time damaging leviathan. It's pretty clear which of the two is better. (Can LB3 instakill the second set of bubble things?)

[Amiricle]

Ugh, extreme titan is making me cry. My old FC group died away, and current FC is mostly casual. Patch 2.1 pretty much wrecked my latency so I was unable to complete it then which completely pissed me off since prior I had sold a ton of titan hards in a merc LS. 2.2 looks to have cleared whatever problem I had before but now I can't find a group capable of clearing it. Most disband after 2-3 tries, yet even with one that went to I can't remember what echo buff, just that the tank had 12.5k hp's still failed cause 12.5k hp's don't save ya from a landslide to the face.

Really need to find a new FC. >.>;

Yep Titan EX sucks ass when you don't have experienced people to call on. Went through the torture last week. When you do win, it's really satisfying to finally drag people through the fight though, and you'll get more than a few laughs out of people killing themselves in a variety of ways.

My FC used to perform free Titan HM carries to counter a group that shouted sold runs. Was always hilarious to piss that group off and get the entertainment of trying to guess how long the carry would live.

Couple weeks ago, to get my shield for my new Allagan BLM weapon I just needed Titan EX. Took me all weekend, with a final PUG late at night that pretty much should have wiped in the end. Tank and I were the only ones up at the win, 6/8 new achievements.

Farm T1 for healer hands. See multiple drops. Get a single-digit lot every. fucking. time.

Jesus christ.

This is T5 all over for me and the healing pants! I JUST WANT THEM FOR THE LOOKS!!! Lost lot on 7 pairs now

[AkirraKrylon]

I wish I could find a farm group for T5 that could actually...ya know...farm? Instead of wiping to twisters/dreads for over an hour and then disband.

Every. damn. time.

I've had pretty good success building my own via PF. I solo tank it (assume pug tanks are retarded) and find at least 1 healer, then build from there. Pug dps are also still terrible so having 5 of them tends to help out. That, along with echo, is enough for an acceptable win rate via PF assuming you kick people promptly if they clearly are unable to cope with a mechanic.

Not sure if this should go here or in random fail but I was looking through some people's profiles on Lodestone and I came across one of the Curia Regis Monks: http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest...acter/1555717/

But on my screen where the glove icon should appear it shows up as this... http://vvcap.net/db/1AUM7BDjHTnZiDDKh5oN.htp

I don't even know... lol

That is actually his gear, but we are not comfortable disclosing where the piece was obtained from yet.

[Niiro]

DR trials as a WAR and when the other tank is a WAR.

90% chance I end up tanking and they do nothing but spam BB combo.
