Alexander Discussion, Round 2: Wait is this the easy mode thread?

[Kipling]

Is it the same Chocobo group that got world 3rd A3S? Or was that a static?

[Neon_Sea]

someone posted a pic about a chocobo group in as4

Or you could be over here on Coeurl where we only have 40 people that have cleared F2, and no one's beaten F3. We should get it in a month or two, though.

[Kari]

then your gobwalker guy doesn't know what he's doing

It's more of which strategy your group uses.

My group waits for the Hardmind/helm to be pulled over. As SCH, I just toss an Adlo on myself or the WHM depending on whether or not my enmity list says they're gonna shoot me. Other than that, there isn't a lot of damage going out.

[Hitoseijuro]

Yeah going for the win tonight too hopefully we don't have to pug but I don't think we have had a single week where our whole group was together for both nights.

This has been our group's biggest problem thus far, at the beginning of HW our static smn decided that doing casual things with FC was better than raiding... so our group since alex savage came out has been doing nothing but trying out random DPS. The current smn we have now started out horrible, granted I think the static leader said they hadnt been playing this game for a while(if theres any truth to that). His dps is still crap, but theres been a great deal of improvement so we'll take it I guess. Any clears and progressions we are getting right now is better than sitting around waiting for that one dps to make things smoother. Honestly the blm(walking cannon, 11k+ crits pls) and I are more than enough to carry any missing dps. The smn only has one job and thats to do something in A2S.

Stop telling us about the pugs on Chocobo man. That shit is depressing.

i know right... im depressed as fuck as well -_-

Is it the same Chocobo group that got world 3rd A3S? Or was that a static?

not world 3rd for A3S, that was a static however the grp that got to 12% was the grp with "king of pugs".... for eg, that legendary PLD if you watched my stream
hes always 1st pug to clr anything on chocobo

that 1% SS was the same static grp that world 3rd A3S i think

[Hitoseijuro]

Any clues on to what the accuracy requirements are for A4S ? I had heard 660, but I can't recall said source nor confirm if reliable.

[Shaano]

Curiosity of how groups are doing with faster A2 kills, we worked around it but by the time a bomb dropped and moved, we were onto the last wave of where it was spawning and threw us off. Just suck it up and pray for the best? DPS is getting almost too good D:

[Arthars]

well, 1 way to handle it is by controlling debuff so things die slower so you can still do bombs properly

also for A4S acc, people are saying 670, i have yet to miss with 660 tho

[Taint]

How much easier was a4s this week? Any idea on drops?

Don't think they were happy.... https://twitter.com/Foldpls/status/636706350052065281

[Taint]

Damn ><

Meanwhile I'm sure Lucerzia hit the JP button and got a DPS weapon again.

[Jahaudant]

I'd also like to know the A4S accuracy requirement (for frontal, obviously). Reports range between 640 and 660.

Yay wiping to the debuff switching in A3S, gonna be fun

Have fun when you get to add phase and shit isn't dying fast enough. Seems like things go relatively fine until the double Ferrofluids go out, and then the act of spreading/gathering with the follow-up stun throws things off and another wave spawns while the old one is out.

[Ratatapa]

well our DPS is pretty shit honestly, we saw the A2S enrage bomb so

[Arthars]

DPS should not be an issue anymore this week, and totally gone after next (all depending if you have cleared A2S in first week for that 6th token)

keep going rata, first 4 phase of A3S is the hardest. that single debuff passing is way more complicated and shitty compared to final phase 2 debuff switch because Wash Away in phase 2 is a fucking RNGesus and peeps gets confused easily

after adds phase, it gets much more relaxing and smooth, except you still need to meet DPS check but like i said above, DPS issue should be gone this, if not next week

[BaneTheBrawler]

I'm super frustrated with a1s (as scholar) and im starting to think i'm the reason our group can't clear it. this makes me more frustrated.


that is all.

[Boss K]

The wash away + debuffs mechanic is so fucking frustrating with the server lag im starting to doubt we are ever gonna clear A3S. Not to mention we replaced our BLM with a SCH and SCH switched to SMN. And then our new SCH's pc broke... Fuck you SE for designing mechanics that wipe you because your servers are utter trash. I'm still hoping a day comes when you don't have to spend 50% of the time scheduled for raids for the CDs to reset. End of rant.
