FFXIV Random Complaint Thread II: DPS can't count to potato

[Niiro]

Oh I assumed it was for the zodiac light or something in addition to going for a potential card (since the 2 other complaints were card-related).

Friend of mine did seven (7) zodiac items to finish on the Monday before the patch went live. Just under 5 hours, including dinner break. Never before have I ever wanted to destroy someone with my mind harder.

That's some pretty dang good luck but if you can get a full group going pretty much every dungeon takes 10 to 15 mins easily with absolutely no queue times, the zodiac step is pretty trivial if you have people willing to run shit with you. I tried DFing some of my zodiac drops but was getting groups that took 30 mins in Haukke HM, ended up roping friends from that point on and we were doing 9-10 min runs in contrast. Most of my drops for my Ragnarok dropped within the first 5 runs, just had like 3 that gave me some trouble but even those only took a matter of hours since even 10 runs doesn't really take more than a couple hours.

Jesus chirst, fuck the Odin duty. Queued for it all night and not cleared it once. Most people don't even make it to Zantetsuken. So tired of shit DPS being incapable of dodging simple mechanics, healers whining about having to cure too much and tanks being incapable of using cooldowns at the correct times.

On the surface it's an easy fight, yet people fail so horribly at it.

Did a CT floor 2 today. Both healers absolutely 100% refused to heal me the entire god damn run. I kept bringing attention to it but anytime I died from dmg, they'd just do stupid fucking emotes to my body. Didn't even get any good gear from it.

Went in 2 days ago for the first time at like ilvl100 as SMN and managed to not die. No idea how all these melee with 6k+ HP eat shit constantly.

Currently like 0/9 on the card and it's never anything but a hassle.

I've never beat Odin via DF lol, how do guys do it?

It almost feels like the fight is designed with 5 DPS in mind; most of my attempts Odin will ready Zantesuken at 20~35%

This fight was designed for 4 dps. First time I did it was on DF and we one shot it without difficulty. It's one of my favorite fights (and theme is great).

The issue is that most DF DPS are fucking atrocious. Most of my runs last night the raid DPS was around 1400 DPS and I was personally doing ~500 of that.

[Korialstrasz]

Most people seem to be in the 200 range, with far too many closer to 100. The worst I have seen so far was a NIN in the 60s. I autoattack for more than that but somehow he managed to pull it off.

[The Stig]

Aye I'm aware it's a the standard 4 dps, 2 tank and 2 healer set up; Yeh I appreciate some get into a good group via DF but it just feels way so tightly tuned for a DF encounter when the ilvl requirement is 95.

I can only conclude it to being DF people being what they are and not performing efficiently but something is a tiny bit wrong if a party of ilvl 105~ can't even get close to 10% when he Zantesukens lol

[Jem]

At one point last night I had a tank in Odin who had considerably less HP than me on BRD (6.9k for me, 6.2k for him). I didn't even know that was possible although admittedly I didn't look at the ilvl requirement to enter.

[Eidle]

I appreciate some get into a good group via DF but it just feels way so tightly tuned for a DF encounter when the ilvl requirement is 95.

ilvl requirement isn't even something i can count on anymore. i'm sure a group of skilled people in ilvl 95 gear could clear odin, no problem, but your average ilvl 95 gear wearing DF friend is either going to do horrible dps or eat all the AoEs. at least thats how i feel like it would go. I can't trust anyone in this game to play within like 80% capacity of their class.

[Taint]

Another week with all repeat useless coil drops.

[BerenTebogo]

With Odin I have seen my fair share of bad DPS and Zan going off, but generally we just get it done. Even had one run where a melee used LB at like 30% -_- and we managed to win. Killed him when he was like 3 full seconds into his "Zan has finished charging and you die now" animation

Odin: "wtf bullshit, it even fucking went on cooldown too"

Joined a WP in-progress on NIN-> time runs out on the 1st boss.....

How is this possible??

Odin: "wtf bullshit, it even fucking went on cooldown and too"

Picturing Odin angrily typing to his FC about this is the best thing of my morning today.
