Is it me or they nerfed the overmelding rates?
never in my fucking life I've had to use 150+ materias to overmeld anything before, but alas, I just used 150 speed materias to overmeld some gloves

You've only used up 150?

Lol.

My highest was 309.

And it's your hourly schedule twitter raider logic.

This time from perchbird, who I believe is a "software engineer" who works on data mining stuff for XIV. The people liking the tweet are your usual hardcore raiders:

More backpedaling, saying "This is totally not what we meant", but then also painting the other group of people as this vile incarnation of itself. Raiders themselves are virtuous as always.

Why are these twat raiders such uncharitable cunts?

Jesus, my drop rates suddenly become better, but everything else goes to shit. YoshiP is a cruel master.

Raiders are really trying to gaslight the entire other majority of the playerbase and it's kind of hilarious in its own way.

"We're not the ones creating division in the community right now! YOU are!"

I found out a new way of fucking with people in Delubrum, although it costs some mettle, the results are pure, unadultered salt towards the tank.
-Equip Lost Incense
-Keep dealing damage as usual
-Use it when the TB/cleave is coming
-???
-Profit!!

Best case scenario you'll wipe the entire raid.
Granted, someone with a working braincell will probably put 2 + 2 together and figure out whats happening... But since we are playing FFXIV, the chances of that are ridiculously low.
I'm so sick of people not bringing essences, turning a 40 minutes run into almost 2 hours, that I just decided to look for ways to fuck with people without being noticed.

I've literally seen no mention of the delayed ultimate on reddit.

That may say something about both groups.

There was some rumblings from the Reddit crowd the other night but a lot of the comments were either getting deleted by moderators or by the users who made them.

Here's one thread I was looking over, for instance.

With how many times I've had to run ST, VA and Rabanastre, my braincells have been completely deleted by now.

Also I've run Denebrum so many times, I've run out of lost actions.

So I'm out of both actions and braincells.

 

[Smug Chuckler]

Did the 15 runs in Denebrum for the ugly ass WHM relic, no mount but I got a barding.

Wait, barding drops from there? What the fuck?

I still plan to do the grind for the dancer and gun breaker relics after I finish monk but after that I'm throwing in the towel. I can't be assed to do 30 runs of raids 7 more times for the rest of my jobs.

I'm already handicapped as fuck after running out of all my offensive essences and actions. It'll keep me busy for a while but yeah, no. After I finish that off, I'll be working on my crafting mainhand tools.

Yeah

 

[Dopey Cunt]

Yeah

That white mage staff is ugly as sin lmao

You have my condolances.

So what job changes are people hoping for? I played mostly SCH and SMN before I stopped for a few months, and I’d like trances to be reworked or consolidated. The rotation on SMN is too long and punishing imo, especially in light of how janky the pets are.

I think the jobs are mostly fine. I main monk and any greivances I had with the job have been settled more or less, although I really wish that Six Sided Star didn't apply that slow ass recast timer to all my skills. I wish it was like Tornado Kick except with a longer cool down. Because after I use it when running out of a melee ranged attack and then use my gap closer to continue the offense, I'm kind of left stuck standing there like a retard auto-ing until I can start using weaponskills again. It's not fun and kind of breaks my stride.

Imagine letting out a flurry of punches, then using a move that applies a 5 second CD to all your attacks that just leaves you standing there for those 5 seconds unable to do anything but use OGCDs which we don't have a lot of and if those are still on cooldown then rip.

I guess my other gripe would be to do away with positionals for melee altogether. I think it's stupid and unneesesary having to constantly move around between flank and rear, especially if the boss wants to move around a fuck ton, tanks fight for hate causing the boss to spin around in 30 circles and if melee are in a position where we can't move to hit our positionals, our damage suffers as a result and we can't get procs because of this. Monks can't get their bonus damage from positionals and Leaden Fist, Dragoons can't get their bonus damage plus their Raiden Thrust proc, Samurai can't get their extra kenki generation, and Ninja also lose their bonus damage.

It's dumb and it's not fair that ranged don't have to worry or suffer any kind of penalty where melee does. Get rid of positionals and let us melee have fluid movement instead of restricting us so damn much.

Give machinists a way to move quickly like dancers. Everyone zips out of the large cone aoe and I'm stuck running like a loser

GIVE HEALERS THEIR DOTS BACK

I just want more shit to do as Scholar is general along with the things I mentioned for Summoner. It works, and it suits people that like being proactive perfectly, but holy shit is that spec dry as fuck.

 

[Gravemind]

No. Stay in your lane, healslut.

Joking aside, I wish healers could be potent DPS again as well.

That's actually part of why I main Tank even though I have leveled melee DPS on occasion. I never did like positionals and I've always felt like it gives the big dick, ALWAYS NEED UPTIME crowd one more excuse to continue skirting mechanics as much as they can because they're obligated by design to hit those positionals to maintain their numbers. Of course there's some players out there who are slick enough to be able to gamble with mechanics for the sake of uptime, but, overall, it ends up being a detriment to a party as a whole when you have one or more people always demanding that everyone else has to adjust for their uptime instead of just doing a fight as you should to succeed.

True North is cool and all, but it's really more of a band-aid for the positional issue and just another thing you're more or less obligated to throw into a burst rotation because of how it negates positionals.
