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

[Corrderio]

Well, people can still wipe to story mode shiva/ramuh.

That's just sad.

Also for a complaint: Crafting. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong but holy hell this is painfully boring.

Or moogle. If ppl tell you to NOT dps the boss because of enrage you don't fuckin dps the mother-humping boss! Apparently the concept of not doing shit is just as hard to understand as doing shit properly.

Crafting starts off really bad until you start unlocking the really good cross class crafting skills and can HQ basically everything. It takes a lot of leveling to get to that point though.

[Corrderio]

How far? So far I"ve been aiming to get everything to 20 since that's when it starts to burn me out.

I've wiped a couple parties tanking the King, not paying attention and bringing him too low (solo) while waiting for the rest of the party to kill 4 moogles. 123 on PLD is too strong apparently.

everything to 15, then cul to 37, then crp to 50, wvr to 50. seems like a lot, but it isn't too bad. with that investment you can easily hq things with nq ingredients while leveling the rest.

Well, I think the main two things you should try and get to were Hasty Touch and Steady Hand 2. I know Steady Hand 2 was from Culinarian at 37 Hasty Touch might also be Culinarian? Been a while since I played this game, can't remember exactly. x.x Those two abilities let you get a lot more quality increase for very little CP. I think the level 15 Tailoring ability was really good as well.

edit: ^ is a better explanation of it lol.

[Corrderio]

Okay that isn't too bad. May as well start doing that when I'm done with weeklies since my DF tolerance is getting worse by the day.

Not even mad about that tho. I still don't know at what % the fucker enrages myself. But there is usually one head-in-the-ass dps, who just keeps punching him and wipes everyone.

I've had DFs so bad with Moogle HM that, on my WAR alt (probably low i100 ilvl, towards the end of 2.X) I had to stop damage on the king entirely because me, by myfuckingself with Defiance, would push him to enrage.

edit: whoops should probably read all the replies first :V

I had a LotA run today that wiped on the bomb trash.

That's the first time I've seen that in years.

Every single time you queue for a CT raid it seems to go like this: DF pops instantly or almost instantly, someone cancels or times out, you get put back in the queue with like 3/3 6/6 14/15 and it remains stuck in that weird limbo for up to 20m until it breaks and sends you way back, waiting forever.

I have no idea how their queue system works for alliance raids but it must be hilariously convoluted, and it's very annoying for sure.

[The Stig]

Yes it seems to be exclusive for LoTA/ST/WoD

I made a bitch post a few pages back describing the same behaviour. I have no fucking idea why it's really annoying.

[Modoru]

I've had that happen for trials and regular duties as well. One person cancels out, then the df drops me from the matched people and starts me over. Sometimes it rematches me to another 3 or 7 people, other times it leaves me waiting for another 15 minutes.

If we're bitching about people fucking up 50 primals, where is the mention of folks never hitting the button during Levi? I've had so many wipes because healers/ranged can be fucked (or don't know it's a mechanic, which is sadder) to walk 2 feet to turn on the generator. Your tank should not need to mash sprint to activate it when they have to cross literally the entire battlefield to reach it.

That's the first CT with the 3 demons and bigbomb? Yeah that doesn't sound too unusual. People still get hung up on killing THEIR demon first even if the split is like 20-30-60% and not notice their damage just went to shit because of the defense boost. I was seeing this as late as just before 3.0 hit. Players have only gotten worse since then 'cause now they have to remember a 50 and 60 rotation!

My solution was always just to fight on that side at that stage of the battle, everyone else be damned. Even if I was head tank and head was opposite side. If any melee ever bitched about it, tough shit. They probably weren't hitting the button.

[Modoru]

to be fair, I always get the button confused on Levi, because the Levi EX timing is different, and I did way more EX than HM
that said, i'm also a monk, so it's usually not my job to have to deal with it either
eh.

And then you get that one rare group in DF that's pushing the shit out of phases in Levi HM and he ends up getting dives queue'd right before the button press is needed, and people are unable to tell if you have to hit it or wait because normally there's no dive.

That hasn't seemed rare to me at all. It's more rare now from what I've seen to have a group not push it.

[Dotsudoku]

kicked from Hullbreaker hard for spreading Demolish around instead of staying on one target until it was dead, because MNK has "the worst dots in the game by far"

meanwhile, MNKs only good attacks are their DOTS
