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

**Tymon** · 2013-10-21 10:13

Anyone still have an active FFXI subscription?

Can we get some people to go to the Ebon Panels while we have a FC in here attempting Twintania?

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

Hallowed is 7 mins, Bene is 5.

I don't think any ability has a 2:40 CD for that matter (I assume you meant 180sec).

Those with 3 min CDs can hardly be considered "2hr" tier anyways (dragonfire, sentinel, bulwark).

The only other skill besides Hallowed and Bene really worthy of the "2hr" title is BV (Enkidle has a 5 min recast but is hardly "2hr" material, should have a shorter CD like dragonfire).

:l

I'm not trying to compare the effectiveness of one to the other. But those are the skills with the greatest cooldowns which are sort of Burst X abilities. Which is what XI based their 2-hours off of. Burst Damage, Burst Heals, Burst Buffs.

Are we going to also have an in-depth discussion on how the XIV Relic Weapons don't compare to the Quality/Difficulty of acquiring Relic Weapons in XI? Because they're totally the same ballpark, I mean they have the same naming right?

**Niiro** · 2013-10-21 10:35

Right, what were we talking about?

Ebon panels or something?

**Deadgye** · 2013-10-21 10:42

I call the primal wumbo attacks "two hour" or "astral flow" because I can never think of a better generic name quickly enough when the subject matter comes up.

**Waraji** · 2013-10-21 10:58

Same as calling Weight of the Land "Plumes", because fuck it, it's the same gd thing.

**Niiro** · 2013-10-21 11:06

Well, to be fair, plumes spawn in set locations with set patterns, weight picks random targets.

Oh, also, how many people does weight target for that matter? I never counted. Are there more in later phases or does it just seem that way because of the smaller field?

I've had people say "build TP" when they're building LB for Titan.

I haven't heard 2hr yet though. LB seems to be a pretty consistent term.

Btw, DD > DPS.

My mind has been damaged by shouts so much that I forgot about this. I humbly thank you. I've been saying deeps because my mind wouldn't let me use dps so it defaulted to making fun of it.

Agree 100%, although I shorten DPS to deeps for casual speak.

**Niiro** · 2013-10-21 14:01

I'm ok with "deeps", mostly because it amuses me.

**Kirbyprime** · 2013-10-21 14:13

Looking to compare PLD 2h to ffxiv's PLD Hallowed Ground. Apparently 2H in FFXI is now 1H, so we've been all wrong.

**Raineer** · 2013-10-21 14:16

I've died so many times with Hallowed up that it's not funny anyway. And I'm not talking about primal enrage moves, just legit damage like garuda downdrafts. Seems worthless unless I use it 3-4 seconds ahead of when I expect to die.

Yup, have to wait for the animation to finish before you actually stop taking damage. Meaning you can pop it, die, and it go on cool down anyways.

I lol-ed so damn hard.

Seriously though. -I think if we get 5 people to log in and get each race in the right tower, hit the ebon panel and alt tab to XIV on turn 5, we could probably lock the boss down.

Happens a lot with Benediction too. I'll pop it to save someone, but god-fucking-forbid I cure before I finish twirling.

**Niiro** · 2013-10-21 17:09

Holy is even worse.

Yeah the Mrs was complaining about this too, it's pretty ridiculous that it don't go off until the animation has finished.
