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

[Dotsudoku]

I genuinely don't believe you wiped to Lakshmi 60 times

[Patriarch]

Welp after 60 wipes in 15 different PT i finally got my first Lakshmi PT

Juts need 4 more wins for my Ring and be done with it

Karma for all those early pull hunts

[Ratatapa]

Your choice but I have better stuff to do then to lie on an Internet forum

[Anoat]

As a DPS spending 30+ minutes in roulette que it greatly pisses me off when we get a shit healer and the tank rage quits instead of letting me and the other DPS vote dismiss the terrible healer.

[octopus]

Huh, last night with the incentive update I was getting 15min queues as DPS spamming Doma Castle lol

[Rehn]

Had a healer asked me if I used any cooldowns "other than bulwark and rampart". Look at my bar, sentinel/convalescence/hg are all on timer, and mp is low from spamming clemency. I should have been a smartass and replied "yes, and do you know any other spell than cure II? maybe a holy?" but I was queued with a friend, and rather just get out fast.

He did use 2 holy on the last pull though.

[Silenka]

If you were pulling a lot it might be that the healer was legitimately struggling, esp if any of you were undergeared. These dungeons right now...it's hard to keep a tank up in some of them if big pulls are happening, especially if they're not riding their cds, using hg when it's up after settling into big pulls and things like that, but even if they are it can be a little tricky. My regens, even buffed with potency+, have not been nearly enough for this and often while leveling WHM I had to stand there casting cure2 instead of dpsing (what a drag) just to keep the tank up. Holy stun seems to affect mobs less and less as time goes on, maybe it's just me but after the 4th or so holy the mobs are chewing on the tank nonstop so sometimes I had to stop spamming and cure. Plus, healers have to ride their own cds, once whm is out of benediction, assize and tetragammation and swiftcast isn't up, they're out of insta-heals for when you suddenly go from 16k to 6k hp which seems to be happening often in these dungeons

[Alkar]

Well unless they changed it in SB enemies build resistance to Stun and after 3 casts or so it doesn't even apply anymore until some time has passed.

You can be sure I did not overextend, since a wipe is a huge waste of time to me. I used almost every single cd on the first pull (2 packs) and despite hallowed being used, he rather stand there until the duration is off rather than holy. I usually wouldn't need to use everything with a WHM... I scaled all pulls down to single, since he would rather use 1 button (cure II) than everything in his arsenal.

His comment came only near the end when I pulled a single pack (3 mobs), after the 2nd boss. Like really, are you struggling to cure a tank pulling a standard 1-pack group that I have to use more shit so you can keep standing there youtubing?

[Toth]

Is there any point now to play a class after 30?

[Shenrien]

Using Vril whenever SSB is active is hard for some people. Also could just get Omega ring if you don't want to bother, i330/340 coming in after next week I believe

[Damane]

Is there any point now to play a class after 30?

if you want to pester other people and like to suffer for yourself?

[Alkar]

Is there any point now to play a class after 30?

Nope, classes are on their way out. Likely getting removed in 5.0.

I believe him simply because I got in and done with Ex primals early in SB and trying to go back and help people I see nothing but wipes. I've had groups wipe to:

1. Initial add phase.
2. First Marked phase (Oh you must stack the blue mark!)
3. Wipe to every mechanic that requires vril at least once.
4. Wipe due to Amazing RNG because people tunnel vision destroy the adds AFTER the bubble is gone.
5. Wipe to ultimate because "I WANT TO BE IN THE BOOBIES!"

Seriously, Lakshmi wiping is depressing and most wipes are because healers are shittier than they've ever been.

[Seravi Edalborez]

I find Lakshmi interesting but ultimately annoying. Though not on the scale of Ramuh.

[Alkar]

Oh god Ramuh.... I'm currently farming his damn pony solo and well... it's not fun at all lol. He can still kill you so damn fast but at least some of the mechanics are gone if soloing.

[Silenka]

Once I got the hang of Ramuh it was stupid easy for me and I never found it annoying except for the groups I had for it. Ended up teaching so many people that fight lol. I guess the primal that annoys me most was always Ifrit. I didn't love the healer mechanic in that fight.

[Leadleaf]

Ramuh was one of the easier I've managed to teach in mentor roulette with Odin being the worst. (did a few months ago before Urth's had echo)
It was pretty much the opposite of my own learning a few years ago, with terrible Ramuh progression and oneshotted Odin.

[Twilight Sky]

I never cleared Ramuh EX. Yeah I know it's dead easy now unsynced, but all my attempts were when running the instance was still a thing.

It was always the add phase. The group I had actually got past that after 8 tries, but my memory is foggy here - something happened with the charming, and things just fell apart after. Add phase was morale killer.

Anyway, I like how I have not been able to play much due to 90002 errors that mostly every EU player has been getting. Well, the EU players playing on the NA servers have been getting hit with it. But I live in Northern Europe and I play on an EU server and I'm hit with it.

Teleport - 90k
DF - sometimes 90k
Standing around 90k
While in queue as DPS - 90k when I have 10min left on queue :]

I was lucky to get 63 yesterday..

[Alkar]

Well my annoyance with Ramuh (and Leviathan+Ifrit) is that even now you can't ignore the mechanics which drags the fight on. Skipping nails? Nope, dead. Skip spumes? Nope, you survive the hit but the instance resets anyway. Don't gather stacks? Nope, you're dead in two hits. The other ARR Primals do have mechanics that you better do but they don't really stop you from moving on. Like missing the shield in Garuda Extreme doesn't kill you or reset the fight so you can just push through.
