hi bb's,
fiancee is being seen by doc...from what receptionist said, should be relatively quick to finish, but go on w/o me if you want
We're waiting for you, for now
Keep us updated! Hope she's okay!Nice, good to hear!
Welp I'm at a loss of what to do next. Can't get Garuda EM done because DF/PF is brutal. Barely gotten to Tornado because Tanks don't coordinate and then quit when the run goes bad. Majority of my runs end with a wipe before Chi and Sup are even dead the first time. It's tough because I really like the fight. But groups just keep quitting slowly and so whatever progress your group makes is lost once 2 people leave. I even tried making a PF group asking for a straight up carry and that didn't work. And then the farm groups are all 80 plus and won't let me in (with iLvl 75). Sad times!
Finally got Sastasha done with the tank from my previous run and a random from the DF. Went well outside of the Archer aggroing tons of monsters/not attacking marked enemies making the Tanks job tougher.
Pretty easy besides that though and the last bit with the bubbles should be much easier next time hopefully. (missed a few bubbles causing quite a few adds to be released).

Gives the fight a little spice!
It's not difficult, I think it's more of a "risk not being worth the reward" kind of deal. People just want to get their Tomes of Mythology for the day as soon as possible, so they would rather run a 15 minute dungeon than one that would take double that time [sometimes more].
Personally, whatever the DF gives me for the day is what dungeon I complete. Since I'm a DPS I don't exactly have the luxury of instant queues, and even if I did, I wouldn't personally leave. But then, I've never had an issue with PS.
Sucks! The power down near Beech Grove/Greenwood still seems fine so maybe that'll give em time to focus more on your area. Stay warm!.
This is correct. However, I would like something that has a similar range to Medica 2. I can technically cover some extra ground with Succor + a Roused Whispering Dawn a lot of the time but it does seem a little clunkier than I'd like to pull that off.
You are kind of right in that a fair amount of time the base heal is wasted if you are prepping for damage with the first Succor, but between that and the Eos AoE regen they have a fairly potent kit to deal with AoE (especially if EoS is Roused and Sacred Soil is down). SCH doesn't really have mana problems either so while the prep isn't super effcient the kit is designed to deal with a little extra "waste".
I do think double SCH takes a little too much coordination to be realistically effective in most situations where it would really matter (doing things like rotating Eos regen and shield timings in between heavy movement and positioning requirements since they don't stack and a lot of times don't refresh each other) but I'm not sure if SCH really need anything substantial. Most of what I would like (besides some better AoE range) is more on the technical side of the class. Some Pet A.I. tweaks and additions, a better way to switch to SMN stats than 10k seals (then another 10k to switch back) ect.

Been having pretty awesome luck with CT lately. 2/3 on gear. I need a non-heavy bodypiece so I can wear my awesome crown, tho .
.I find the first boss much more annoying.
I had two dragoons with my warrior tank yesterday - it was a pita but still very much doable.
People just don't get the Siren fight:
Interrupt Lunatic Voice (even if you don't, it's no biggie).
Avoid the seargents (crawlers) as healer and tank
Stack in middle if she disappears and stay there if she doesn't appear on the outside, otherwise just sidestep out of her path.
Top people of constantly and remove the Lunatic Voice Debuff if it goes off.
That's all..
Oddly enough I find it a really fun dungeon and fun to heal
But I also randomly Queue for Titan HM and Ultima EM because I love those fights so much. I am weird that way :/
Was on vacation so I haven't had time to do Garuda EM yet, really looking forward to Titan EM, though
Never really liked the Garuda fights, not sure why.

I think I'm close to facing Ifrit (At L25 PGL), but I spent the whole time on my Weaver job (L21 I think).
Who knew getting EXP just by making clothes can be so addictive?

Did Pharos Sirius today. When I joined there was only a Dragoon with me. The first pack of monster was untouched: both the healer and the tank bailed right after entering it (classy). 2 minutes later a Scholar and Paladin joined.
We had trouble on the first two bosses, but not because of the usual reasons... Actually, we were a little too heavy with the DPS. We triggered the add poping while there was still one puppy alive two times (while both I, Bard, and the Dragoon were solely attacking them), and the same happened with the bird, which had its HP bar disappearing like snow under the sun. We got Siren on the first try. The Dragoon was nearly full 90, and boy, did he hit like a truck.

A Dragoon who actually weaves, knows how to maximize use of his cooldowns, and knows his GDC rotation is 10x as valuable as one who doesn't. It's night and day.
Glad they are doing this. Gonna use the opportunity to get some folks back online.
Does this game use up a lot of bandwidth or something? I'm having an issue where my ISP is saying I'm using tons of bandwidth all of a sudden, and the only recent change to our internet habits is the addition of FFXIV on a PC and a PS3. Combined, we play for about three or four hours per day.
To give numbers, it he ISP is saying we used 797 GB (!) last month, and in January, we're already at 300 GB.
I don't recall FFXI (or any other game) being this demanding. The issue probably isn't FFXIV, but I can't think of anything else that's "new". We aren't using Netflix/Amazon Prime more frequently.

There's no way FF14 uses even close to that amount of bandwidth.

So I'll be able to try it out on my laptop before my PS3 trial runs out and I'm forced to choose for the resub? Awesome.
"Being knocked back while holmgang is in effect is a bug."
Oh, well that explains #2 trash in CT
Jesus fucking Christ.
Couldn't finish T5 last night due to people 90king over and fucking over.
It was insane to have a perfect run only to suddenly see everyone stop right before a twister. 30% guys! Final ph... oh no... not again! Hearing the FC scream through vent over and over due to disconnects was painful... worse yet that I don't even know if my group can run again this week now that people are getting busier.
Even using that WTFfast tool, the Verizon fios issue is murdering me.
So many stalls during critical moments.

I did Ultima yesterday, and was having back-to-back sequences of five to ten seconds where packets were being entirely lost. I could run around and use skills, but though the animations went off, no numbers would appear on Ultima, and the rest of my party members and Ultimate itself weren't moving. This was the first time I've ever had it that bad, so I pretty much immediately went out and signed up for PingZapper. They really, really need to fix this FiOS nonsense though.
Lets get the old AK group together for old times/funsies.
I 90k'd once right after dodging all the divebombs and downing the snakes, only to come back dead, be raised and then 90k immediately again when I was raised and back up on the platform. It was so bad last night, never had that happen.
I was just thinking of doing that dungeon this morning too! I've never done it before though
FIOS issue?
Well I'm on my way to work right now but I'll see if you guys are on and still down for it when I get home later.
I heard fios is having issues lately. You are not the only one.
Apparently FIOS from Verizon/Time Warner have a routing issue with a Canadian server. Apparently it's been malfunctioning, but for some reason or another they don't actually own it so they can't replace it. Beats me just stuff I heard down the grapevine, and all I know is FIOS users are having packet losses left and right connecting to the XIV servers in Montreal or whatever. Stalling for 10 seconds at a time randomly is the worst feeling ever during important moments. Feels like I might as well be in Australia.
I had a similar issue tanking Satasha for the first time last night where an archer off of duty finder kept kiting enemies in circles whenever he grabbed aggro. As much as he was doing it I think he was trolling me.
I use AT&T Uverse and was having crippling lag in some instances the past two days, too. Really fun to see Titan doing the windup animation for landslide as I'm already flying off the ledge, wee. Good thing my Pingzapper sub was still active!
Pretty happy with this past weekend overall! Didn't get my Titan EX win like I hoped and lost lot on Ultima neck for BRD, but my FC cleared turn 4 for the first time on our second night of attempts and my first piece of main job Coil loot dropped (Allagan Cuirass of Aiming). It's going to get replaced by AF+1 eventually, but the item level bump was pretty nice and I can focus on some other slots now before I get all pretty in pink. I'm surprised by how much easier turn 4 became once we switched up our strategy for the last two phases to remove some of the randomness with picking up mobs from our previous strat. Can't wait to spend some quality time with Twintania this week.
Agree that it's not hard, but the quality of people can swing so low that unless you're looking for a story to tell, it's not worth it. Someone in my FC stuck it out with a Pharos PUG yesterday and they ended up timing out on Siren. :\ I definitely see a lot of 0/4s when I queue for in-progress dungeons as a tank, too. I wonder what doing it (and the other new dungeons) at an appropriate ilevel is like.

If you have a tank and dps that follow instruction, Siren is doable. Most of the time the tanks and dps won't listen to me...=/
