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

[Seravi Edalborez]

Copper HM is probably the worst to get cockblocked on because it's one of those dungeons that is a total slog if you DF it because you literally always have new/slow players. And god help you if the healer and ranged both don't want to do rocks on final boss, leaving the i130 melee to do it and make everything take longer

[Twilight Sky]

If it makes you feel any better, in a few years there probably wont be any new players. =)

Hopefully in a few years we won't have to do copperbell HM!

At least as tank you can kinda force people to play your way. As long as the healer can press that cure button you SHOULD be okay. Shortcut in the first room and on the first boss make it a little more entertaining. Final boss I think any healer would survive the worm tunnel if they have over 3.5k hp.

The real BS dungeon is Satasha as melee dps. You literally do 100% of the damage for your entire party becuase you know the tank does 0 damage and will do 0 super pulls, MAYBE 1(the first) if you're lucky. 2nd boss you can stick to the Captain and just hope the healer doesn't yell at you for not focusing adds. If you don't focus the boss, guaranteed he'll get 20 shots off on somebody. Final boss is either A) you rip hate off the tank and die to tentacles. B) Fight takes a year to finish because you're the only one killing Kraken arms and the ranged is attacking the tentacle. C) everyone sees you focusing the Kraken and they do too, so the healer ends up dying to World's End(sp?).

I'd rather do AV and DD all day than Satasha HM

isn't copperbell ilvl synced down to 110 so it doesn't really matter if you're over 110?

If he's i130 irl he probably uses not-Doton/HeavyThrust/5+Monk Attacks which puts him way over the curve

What shortcut are you talking about for Copperbell?

[octopus]

I think he meant the elevator bit on the first floor? As for the first boss, the whole party can stack at the very far left and the bombs won't come.

[Raldo]

1st pull (coblyn/coblyn/giant), you can ignore the coblyns. The elevator is activated when you kill the giant, coblyns get left upstairs.
2nd pull (ghost/ghost/giant), you can ignore completely. They don't follow very far.
3rd pull (spriggans/rockwalls), you can speed through and just focus the rock walls and AOE the spriggans once you get to the end.

After 1st boss, you can focus the rock wall and have the tank babysit the giants/bombs. AOE giants once the wall is down.
After 2nd boss, if everyone is decent, you can pull everything. After that pull, the slimes off to the left can be ignored.

That said, I never bring any of this up in the DF 'cause it takes just as long to convince them to do it as it does to just kill the damn things.

[The Stig]

After the first elevator you can pull/ignore mobs to the first stack of stones. They leash for some reason. Saves you killing 4 mobs.

Meh when I did tank in df there was always 1-2 that got locked out of the elevator and cried cuz they died then sat there 5 min to kick me lol ( or sometime they do leave)

[Pooke]

Takes me back to the olden days of people crying about themselves being too slow for the magitek elevator.

[Arthars]

my 3rd (or 4th i forgot) zodiac i got stuck in copperbell for like 63 times

that fucking shit really grind my gears....

so many speed blocks i dont even...

[Hiryo]

Yeah both of these exactly. I guess "shorcut" is the wrong word as it may imply a different path. But they are definitely time savers. You can actually have ranged avoid Dark Fire DoT completely if they stand at the top of the ramp before the first boss. Theres enough space between the aetherial gate and the slope to stand on with no damage taken.

Spoiler: show

Warwolf Mask of Aiming. Why isn't this a MNK-usable piece, again?

I miss the Panther Mask +1.

The window for action queuing should be expanded to the time of a whole GCD, not just the last ~1/4th of a GCD.

Add the icon for your next queued action to the end of the casting bar (so they don't have to add another UI element, PS3 limitations, etc), the queued action is whatever the most recent input is.

ie. use Heavy Swing, GCD @ 2.0s -> press Sunder, Sunder is queued -> GCD @ 1.0s press Maim, queue'd action changes from Sunder to Maim

I really despise button mashing in order to queue actions, especially in situations where your GCD changes and the timing to queue actions changes with it (MNK, Selene buffs, etc).

My PS2 controllers would last twice as long if I didn't have to button mash and I wouldn't have to listen to people mashing keys so much over VOIP because their mic sensitivity is way too high.

[Kaisha]

It's more annoying when you queue a skill at the proper time and it still doesn't go off because the animation for the previous skill was too long.

Looking at you BRD offGCDs. Would be a lovely QoL fix if they at the least doubled the queue'd time.
