Final Fantasy XIV - Kiwi Free Company

So i have 3 trial accounts and the other account i pay a sub for in a party, and they're going to be running Prae 24/7 through Autoduty during the event.
there's a 100 dungeon limit a day to stop people from farming gil via dungeons and i think i'm going to be the first person to hit it because of mogstones
I appreciate the commitment to making the game play itself for you but I'm still wondering how you're managing to do all this. Do you have 4 separate installs all running at minimum graphics with the plugins set up to run X amount of dungeons per day?

I can't deny I'm particularly fascinated by the sheer weaponized autism that goes into multiboxing with bots.

See, I hesitated on voicing that myself, but, on top of this, I'm also wondering why you're parsing these runs as well. Natural assumption is to fully optimize all your bots for the most optimal Prae speedrun, but good God. At some point, I have to question if this level of technical autism is really worth it for what essentially amounts to a live service game that may either eventually shut down in your lifetime, you'll kick the bucket before EoS, or something else may more permanently keep you from continuing to play the game.

Forgot about that. I'm rather pleased that the Scions contribution to Tuliyollal is teaching the natives how to do a colonialism. Good job Blue Alisaie.
The best part is how blatant it was. The postlude mentions how hesitant and upset Alexandrians are about Zoraal Ja's spawn child being the new king, and how they got even more terrified when Wuk announced herself as his "guardian".

This is just straight up an oppressive colonizer telling their new bitches how it's gonna be. No avoiding it. I'd like to imagine all those Wuk Lamat fans on Reddit who pose her as a perfect ruler crying out in confusion as she commits a cardinal sin of the modern day.

Would have been even better if Square didn't pussy out and stagger trash mob spawns
As the designated tank of our duo, husband had the same comment. He was pretty annoyed at how nearly all the DT dungeons prevented him from pulling more than one set of spawns at a time with artificial walls. But the boss fight mechanics in the dungeons, at least, were still fun. That's basically the only positive thing I have to say about DT.

1 install.
XIVLauncher allows you to have 2 accounts running "natively", certain plugins (I know that BossMod is one that does this, i don't care enough to get an exhaustive list) allow you to bypass that limit.

Put the 4 accounts in a party.
Have one of the four characters queue in to Prae via Autoduty with "100" set as its repeat count
Everyone queues up automatically because of Yes Already's content finder confirm.
Automaton's Enhanced Duty Start/End activates the command "/autoduty start" for the other 3 characters.
Cutscene Skip makes MSQ Roulette duties bearable and cuts like 15 minutes of cutscenes out of each run.
A combination of Rotation Solver Reborn, Bossmod (Veyn or Reborn "fork"), and the Autoduty pathing (VNavmesh dependency) automates the run.

I'm also wondering why you're parsing these runs as well.
Half as a joke, half because I'm convinced that DRG is bad because it has a bad aoe at level 50.

Other things I've used a "Trust NPC" to help with:
- Doman Mahjong (There aren't any actual programs to automate mahjong, this was not worth it)
- Lord of Verminion (There isn't a program to automate this, i'm just using a second account to wintrade it)
- Eureka Grinding (Pocket healer!)
- Bozja Grinding (Pocket... dancer? Also getting the 500 raises.)
- Aetherpool farming in Eureka Orthos (PF is dead)
- 500 Under the Armors (This was only possible because of Shadow DC being dead asf)
 
Cutscene Skip makes MSQ Roulette duties bearable and cuts like 15 minutes of cutscenes out of each run.
Ah. So what I'm getting out of this is, this is how randoms are occasionally skipping cutscenes during Prae runs. And that those randoms are also retarded for skipping in a party with 3 other people who aren't using those plugins and don't know how in the world this random person kept skipping cutscenes.

Enlightening.

It could also just be that they have a different language on. Each of the cutscenes have a slightly different length based on the language your voice lines are set to.

Not when they're so far ahead that they start fights minutes ahead of everyone else. We're talking enough time for arena lockout to kick in.

Oh. Yeah then they're using skipcutscene lol (It doesn't work in Decumana if you're in a party with people who don't have it because the walls don't go down if someone's in a cutscene... but only in trials/raids.)
 
I'm playing again for like the first time in a year. Has something changed with healing since DT came out or am I just running into shitty tanks? I've been criticized three separate times in the last ~6ish roulette dungeons I've run for not using regen or medica 2. "do you main whm? why aren't you using regens?" "uhhh because it's a waste of a GCD if you don't need it? criticize my healing when you die." Literally have not seen anyone say shit like this since ARR. I'll let you get to 50 HP and use Benediction, because it's pointless to hold on to a cooldown that's only needed if you're retarded. I'm used to pulling literally every pack possible between bosses, so I genuinely have no clue wtf the deal is here. I know my limits and my CDs. Legit just ran my first DT dungeon blind and the tank whined the entire time that I needed to regen him (and had mentor crown, which is just depressing at this point. [I do too but why wear it?]). Oh, also got criticized for "wasting" my flowers between pulls. Uh yeah, I'm generating misery flowers. The sooner mobs die the less I have to heal you.

Typically between pulls I burn all unnecessary flowers to generate a misery, dia spam everything the tank pulls, use benison/0gcds if needed while running, misery the whole pack, drop asylum and swiftcast holy, PoM and assize, spam holy til <3 mobs and use 0gcd heals as needed.

Edit: And I don't know why Asylum isn't considered a "regen" (if you've ever played another MMO, we call them "HoTs" btw), and divine benison is ignored. Sorry I'm salty af atm about this.

Healing got made braindead easier, so yes. You're running into shitty tanks.

9 out of 10 tanks you'll meet in the DF are retarded and are scared to touch their mitigation for whatever reason.

Found your problem. There's a reason why they call it the "Burger King crown".

The cherry on top of this would be if the Mentor was also a Warrior, because then they have absolutely no excuse to bitch.

Oh that's even worse. Dark Knights have gotten extra retarded with cycling their CDs as of late and it's giving everyone the perception that Dark Knights are somehow squishier than every other Tank.

I do believe your rule of thumb when dealing with someone complaining about your healing like this, if it's not a second healer who's having to pick up your slack, should be to ask them "Did you die though?"
 
You have a healer who isn't GCD healing because you haven't hit 5% HP yet.
What do you do?
A: Use your invuln in trash packs
B: Be a "Mentor BTW" and moan about it

thanks fellas.
PLD is my 2nd main and has been since 1.0. If you're not using all your CDs on trash, you don't know wtf you're doing. Pulling all ~3-4 packs between bosses is way more stressful (mechanically speaking for damage input) than the boss itself. If you gotta save defensive CDs for a fuckin roulette dungeon boss you suck at your job.

Ideally, you should be cycling out your CDs on trash, not "using them all", and Paladin has the most mitigation bullshit than anything else.

Hell, they have a 10 second "The healer can burst as much as they please" button that should ALWAYS be used in wall-to-wall.

well ya, you don't burn CDs on trash that doesn't need it just b/c the cooldown is up
but you shouldn't "save" them either if burning them facilitates as smoother/faster encounter
nothing outside of savage/ult meaningfully punishes a tank/healer for not having a CD up
even unmitigated (by both tank and heal) tankbusters on normals/roulettes are a joke
at worst you're just burning an extra GCD to top off

As a general rule, I tend not to pop BOTH of the "big two" CDs (usually your Tank-specific, long CD and Rampart) if it's "single mob" numbers and I make sure to save at least one of the two for the next wall-to-wall because otherwise... I won't have it up in time for the next wall-to-wall. You would be surprised how much this mitigates the average DF shittery in every case EXCEPT for a healer being egregiously dogshit (not healing whatsoever, somehow burning their MP dry, healbotting, Freecure fishing, etc).

Anything on a lower CD timer than "the big two" are free game and get cycled like candy because the CD timers usually line up perfectly enough to specifically cycle them like candy.

I dunno about that one, man. Unmitigated tankbusters slap ass pretty hard and "meaningfully punishes" is a pretty subjective metric when you may have a healer who's completely asleep at the wheel or, worse, dead on the ground, along with the rest of your party for being mouthbreathers that can't dodge AoEs.

I feel like you're accounting for an ideal situation when I rarely run into those from experience. More than half of my average 7.0 queues have been people just on the floor for any reason, and it's why I've said earlier I've gotten into the habit of having to solo dungeon bosses on Warrior because everyone else is so braindead that they can't help but constantly floortank.
