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

[Corrderio]

And we were never able to contact SE ever again...

I just read this and I'm confused. Addons using Flash? What?

[Elcura]

This is the best.

[Alistaire]

Mutilate is net 360 pot.
Shadow Fang combo is 150+440, or 590/2 = 295/gcd
Aeolian is 150>200>320, or 670/3 = 223.33/gcd
Armor Crush / Dancing Edge obviously less, this is enough for baselines.

Death Blossom is 100 per target hit.

If there are 3 or less mobs, Mutilate them all bare minimum.
If there are more than 4 mobs, just Death Blossom. Is is higher potency per GCD. Potency per TP in the case of pull longevity is another beast but rarely one that matters.

You don't do it "over" Doton or Katon because it is a GCD and they aren't. If it's a pull of 10 mobs Death Blossom is 1000 potency, literally almost 3x better than Mutilate, the highest potency GCD you otherwise have.

This, except that "mutilate them all at bare minimum" is only going to apply when they're going to last 30+ seconds. Considering your 3rd mutilate would be about 5 seconds into the pull, that's not a very frequent situation.

They wanted to use a flash based api, one of the most insecure formats for addon creation in games - especially with how open their client is as is through light session hacking.

Didn't know that about Flash. I just hate Flash in general for being a memory hog.

What the fuck is going on in this thread? When did everyone get so terrible they needed fucking math lessons to tell them to push their aoe buttons?

[Churchill]

but muh tp

Looking on the outside in, this is hilarious. I could only imagine how slow a dungeon run with marks would be at this point. I suppose people marked mobs in Brayflops Hard, yes?

Also, for people always talking about how they keep to their 2005-XI cliques on vent to relive all the glory days running with your rat pack, you sure do run with DF pugs a lot. I get it, doing your dailies require it, but Christ, that's a single dungeon per category per day if you keep up. You people bitch like you're doing 30 runs a day, each with a unique form of retarded child every run. Where are all the runs with 4/4 FC mates steamrolling everything in sight?

When your one daily dungeon a day has at least one idiot 100% of the time...

It's why I just do Trial roulette, Frontline roulette, and spam Alex normal to lose lots to the worst DPS. I have no trouble capping Esoterics and my Law is piling up. I feel no reason to do Expert/High/Low, FATEs are less aggrivating than dungeons.

[Qeomash]

Last I knew we were promised it with the expansion, then promised it with 3.1. I'd forgotten it was Flash, was looking forward to having a reason to learn Lua...

[Niiro]

Plugin API is never happening.

FFXIV: the story of broken promises

[Churchill]

I'm not even sure how people who wouldn't Death Blossom breathe. It actually explains a lot of the times I complained in TS about how bad a Ninja in our group was though.

Seriously this. This is Heavensward's fault somehow. Right? It has to be...

[Twilight Sky]

Violet = stack. Blue = get away.

I think saying 'stack' confuses people.

[Kiarax]

Why does this shit exist and why did I even save it from the floor?

[Churchill]

it's a divining rod

Maybe I'm lucky, but I rarely see such retarded things on DF. At the moment I'm not doing exp roulette though.
And it's easier to communicate than marking the mobs. I mean all the dangerous mobs are bigger than others. So if you say at start or after the first pull "big mob first", usually people focus on the big thing.

[Detzu]

I don't know why SE doesn't put STR + VIT on tank accessories. Or why they don't make a use of this superfluous VIT.
i150 accessories are better than i210. Their only way to make use of it is to gate the DF access behind an ilvl requirement (in 6 months).

[tenkiki]

Why isn't there an ilvl requirement for the leveling Heavensward dungeons? There was a fucking smn in Sohm Al with a lv45 weapon and random low level armor and accessories.
