Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

Had this with one of my FC members about a month ago, except it was it was more like.

Me: "This is slow..."
FC Member: "What? This is really fast compared to all my other runs!"
Me: "... we've been in here almost 20mins..."
FC Member: "Yea, usually it's at least 30!"
Me: "... Oh..."

Yeah, I've had those comments as well and I mentally go "...." but just move on. Usually it involves me on healer and I'm topping DPS meters on everything..


Please tell me that's a mass pull where you've popped every CD under the sun and AoE DPSing while the other BRD is single targetting with WM off and no CDs being used >>;..... I have at least a little faith since the fight was only a minute long xD

But yeah, we need a DPS meter.. just so people can see their own progression as a DPS. At least it's explicitly clear when a tank or healer mess up.

Distantly related question to all of this dps talk.

How do you people set up your ACT to where it looks like the above screenshots? Mine looks like a hot mess usually with the overlay, and I just end up looking at the program window itself.

my dislike for CS is not the "I want to do damage" "i just wanna heal" factor, but rather with the way things are played, large pulls kill all, most of the time, HP bars fluctuate a lot, which sometimes the split second of toggling up/down could mean someone's death.
and in 24 man raids, (outside of DPS checks like Gate phase in Diabolos) there is always that DPS that needs a heal, or people near myself from other alliances.

idk, possibly a could remove it and increase base damage, of damage skills (or scale them with Mnd instead of int)?

It was the first pull yes... dot 2 mobs > AoEs. I lost a GCD to singing foes though for what that was worth.

This is is the biggest reason I would support it personally, not only do you know when a tank or healer messes up but dps tend to be quick to call it out... often time said dps are doing 500-700dps. I can sorta see where yoshis reasoning for not wanting it comes into play but giving no feedback whatsoever hurts the game as well. 2.5s steps of faith was kinda a good example, the dps requirement was by no means difficult to hit but people still couldn't do it. So rather than encourage people to step it up they just nerfed it down which has been a continuing theme with the game >.>.

If you google "ACT overlay plug in" it should come up with links to instructions... it's been a while since I set it up, and it broke and I've been too lazy to fix it again.

They had this way back in beta, cleric stance was just a 10% damage increase and I think 20% healing decrease instead of having the stat swap as well and stone/areo/fluid aura used mind. It was kinda op like that though.

Thanks, got it setup.

When you can't buy enough crysta at a time to keep 8 accounts going at once, because who needs real people in their parties?

Thanks Obama SE

Fixed.

I personally don't mind this and you would have to have your attack magic stat scale off MND - it would definitely streamline the healer DPS kit. The few issues that will occur:

(1) Healer's in PvP would become broken again. Not that I mind but that's a consideration the Dev team has to keep in mind since they seem ridiculously intent on pushing their PvP agenda
(2) Since SCH DoTs are technically ACN spells, they'd need to change how ACN damage is calculated for SCH. I don't how hard that is to actually program. Since dagger attack power is a DEX and DEX is tied to attack power, there might be a switch where they can change "MND = Magic Attack Power" stat flag and enable that for all healer Jobs while disabling the "INT = Magic Attack Power"
(3) It would actually make the gulf between "Heal-only" and "Pro-DPS-Healer" even larger and more pronounced - at least the "heal-only" healers could use Cleric Stance as a shield under the umbrella of "I'm uncomfortable". That shield would be pulled out from under them like a rug.

Not to say it's impossible to do, but they'll need to look at the impacts a design decision like that would do. I'd rather they focus more on making healer intensity higher then work on ways on stream lining the DPS kits.

This one?



If so, just flip it upside down :)

Not sure to be honest. I haven't played the game myself, I've been watching a friend stream it and that strategy has become so popular that it's almost become a meme at this juncture, lol.

Nope.

Want.

Wait, that card's KI meter is at 100% at 2 KI, but has a leader ability of +3 KI.

With all that, that's too broken!

Having it scale off whichever is the higher stat might be a thing they could do.

Make it scale off VIT and Accuracy! JUST BECAUSE!

piety!

"Healers aren't stacking enough Piety, their mp is too low for my liking. MORE MP NOW EQUALS MORE DAMAGE!"

DEX! Because you clearly have to more dexterous at wielding your Book / Globe / Staff so you can make those intricate hand waving motions more fluidly for MAXIMUM EFFECT!

STR, cause those heals have to hit the members harder.
