Did you know you get a 20 second warning, a 10 second warning, and then a 5 second countdown in the Ultima Weapon MSQ Roulette? I found out, I also found out it is possible to wipe, when DPS who fails their DPS check. I had another close call yesterday, it was a Picto, I'm not doubting it was shit player, and I'm willing to say it's just a large influx as they're new classes, but I've been seeing an influx of bad dps since the expansion launched.

Yeah, MSQ roul is not where I'd go to judge things. The mentioned changes re: enmity adjustments for tanks are specifically cos Pictos are ripping aggro occasionally from tanks. (Which is something I don't agree with, but, this game's playerbase....)

Dumb question but did people use the LB? That's usually the safety measure to avoid the enrage on Ultima Weapon.

Many people doing Ultima Weapon don't know the LB gauge clears on the phase change and that they should burn it when Ifrit gets knocked out, or that they can burn an extra LB before the gauge gets filled at the end.

That's the kind of stuff that keeps me away from Extreme/Savage roulettes.

I imagine it's a lot of Pictos being new to caster DPS along with their ability to do ungodly amounts of burst AOE damage on the move.

Most tanks in this game are lazy and just use their 100 potency pbAOE before moving onto the next group when they're gathering for a w2w pull. Yes, you will rip everything off. Calm down a bit.

Just waiting for the tank to have everything on him, droping more nukes than a battletech succession war and then immediately using the paint rush thing to the tank is what they should do, worst case in 1/50 scenarios you'd actually get smashed before the tank hits the aoe, otherwise pretty good 4/5.

I'm unsure the average or even above average player in this game understands a concept as simple as "if you're aggroed, run to tank" though.

As for bursting on the move it's pointless, I don't know why people do it as by the time the pull ends you have a bunch of half dead mobs, monsters at 75, monsters at full and you'll have to drop aoes until the monsters at full hp die anyway, it's just wasting cooldowns.

You ever watch magical DPS completely miss their LB? This didn't happen in the one with the Picto, but in the Ultimate Weapon wipe, our Black Mage dropped it on the other side of the room; and it's not like Ultima Weapon is moving, he's stationary, in the middle of the room, channeling Ultima. As for the Picto fight, yes it was.

This is the vast majority of SMNs I group with.

Look, I get it. Your rotation opens with your big aoe dps ability. But if you wait a whole eight seconds it will hit ten enemies instead of three enemies! The Stanford marshmallow experiment would be impossible for these morons.

That's what I wanted to know, I'm there beating on him as a tank, hear the jet enginre roar thing, only to see a blue circle materialize to my right and far away. We die, I ask wtf was that, he apologizes, somehow got it the second time, but I couldn't fucking believe it. Drunk, fucking around, maybe wanted to see if we really do die, I dunno, but it happened.
 
Speaking of retards, I've been leveling my crafters/gatherers, and there a suprising amount of dumbfucks parked on top of gathering nodes either AFK or fucking crafting shit. The worst thing is you can't even tell these bitches to move, because "omgstopharassingme!!111". I know I can just press an extra button to target the node, but fuck me, would it kill you to move the fuck away.

Might not be used to ground targeting or just accidentally double clicked. I've seen Doton wind up in very, very weird places while tanking.

You can actually do it without the LB3 but it's pretty tight.
 
Done both extremes. EX1 isn't too hard but is a good challenge. EX2 is more complicated and has some cool as hell mechs.

That said, there's a major exploit in EX2.

There's a mechanic called "Projection of Turmoil" which is entirely skippable by running into the death wall. Not even joking about this one.

Basically, there's a line that travels from north-to-south setting off debuffs that trigger an instance of shared damage. The line itself doesn't extend all the way to the end of the death wall though, and the death wall is just a moderate bleed. So if the entire party heads to the south of the arena, they can walk into the death wall, go all the way to the south and the line that should trigger their explosions will despawn before it reaches them. Basically meaning that all you have to do is get your healers to handle the bleed and you're good.

I think it may end up being patched. Cause that's a pretty bad exploit. It basically entirely invalidates the mechanic without needing to even use an LB. I did that mechanic the intended way on my clear run, but honestly, the only reason to do it the intended way is for fun. The cheese method is way easier to heal, and doesn't run the risk of wipes due to people detonating their debuff too early.

They've fixed it afaik, last time we attempted it we all exploded when the debuff ran out. That said, there's a braindead line strat instead. https://raidplan.io/plan/kOzWlEJdezZxbmL9

I found some tweets the VA for Wuk made early in 2023 in response to some allegations that they pressured the VA for Bridget in Guilty Gear to step down because she wasn't transgender.
Click to expand...
The Bridget question has fucking ruined a lot of shit; and trannies with their infinite victim complaint are fucking unbearable. But these people need to realize that being a VA isn't the same as it is in Japan, where you do a lot of work and receive a lot of praise, but also need to act the part. These people fucking attacking each other and telling others to step down over a disconnect between a real person and a fictional fucking character is peak tranny.

Bridget is still a dude, and you will never be a woman.

4chan keeps having a shitstorm over Dawntrail along with Wuk Lamat, the tranny voice actor, and Kate. Don't know if I'm late but I found this post from Kate herself. Is this "Archduke of Transphobia" she's talking about by any chance Grummz?
