started Susano EX this week, now I understand why you're all bitching

it's a fight that shouldn't be this hard but somehow is, I don't understand it at all :/ no one particular mechanic is nasty but together people just... panic I guess lol

[Fondue]

I don't like how some aoe indicators are like a foot off the ground now so if you aren't looking straight down the line you appear out but aren't

[Fiye]

My issue with Susano is more that he will give you churning and if you're like me will have to stop way earlier than you should have to or get hit, so it's basically 'stop playing the game, wait for it...okay you can play again', or he will (no warning) stun you mid rotation or before refreshing dots in a rock then swivel the rocks and people will have to break you of the rocks so again you are stopped from playing, or he'll with no warning whatsoever, stop you from playing and stun you with thunder, sometimes he'll hit you with all of these unavoidable mechanics in a single run and it's not game breaking (at least for me on BRD) but it's kind of irritating.

Like, Lakshmi has that AIDs ads phase, so it's swings and roundabouts, but you can see when she's going to confuse you for a few seconds and plan accordingly (unless that's not true for some classes, oops), and you can dodge her shit, dodging shit is fun.

[Destinye]

Only problem I have with Susano (aside shit players) is the Churning, because like..it will literally decide if you moved or not after it goes off no matter if you did move or not.

If by windower you mean the functionality to run the game in window mode, then no, but the game can run in window mode.

If you mean the fancy plugins that came with it, I'm not sure about that.

v3 last phase spellblade holy rant: hmm there's only one safe spot in the middle of this fire AoE, we have a stack marker, and we also have two separate AoE markers on individual players.
now we could take those AoE markers out to the edge so everyone else could stack inside by the boss, but... WAIT, I KNOW. LET'S PLACE THE INDIVIDUAL AoE MARKERS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SAFE SPOT. EVERY. FUCKING. TIME.



some shit tier melee assholes who could not drop a few precious dps points in order to keep everyone from wiping. so instead everyone scatters because the middle safe zone is now under fire, and the person with the stack marker dies like every single time. I thought mindjack was the worst part of PUGing this battle but clearly I was wrong


I thought maybe I was just bad but then I went back into v3 and cleared it uber-fast with the next group, which felt better lol

[Ratatapa]

Sub wore off so thats the good news but while i was leveling, i don't understand this

Why do 99% of the tanks wasted sprint when the dungeon started then just waiting at the mobs for TP or started to be bad at keeping hate

[Dotsudoku]

Sprint doesn't use TP homie

the fire AOE is gone long before the AOE markers explode, it's perfectly fine to put them inside the fire safespot as long as they're actually moved after

[Ratatapa]

They changed that when? lol i remember it consuming full TP

[Dotsudoku]

4.0, probably why you've only recently seen a surge of tanks doing so

[Ratatapa]

Ok then carry on

Came here to complain that despite this change, I'm still seeing most people not sprint liberally through trash in dungeons. wtf people?!?

[The Stig]

Agree, I use sprint now to make my pulls more efficient. So if I dash ahead and the DPS don't follow, it actually gives me slightly more room to round up mobs before establishing hate (before the DPS sees the first mob and goes ham on them).

If healers don't sprint to keep up with me then I tend to pop cooldowns in advance. But I definitely love sprinting into battle. Especially with the new animations on PLD.

Closest thing would probably be the Advanced Combat Tracker. It has a few nifty things it can do beyond parsing that involve overlays like showing Mob HP and call outs, etc.
