3 weeks? Huh.

When I experimented with it, I found that the animation timing is such that half the time Firestarter proc'ed, I started a Fire 3 hardcast anyway

The whole point of Fireweaving is that it forces the game to rush out the Damage / buff information to you so I'm not sure how you'd start a cast faster than that; it goes up prior to you being allowed to input another command. PLD/WAR can do similar things to skip their long Halone / Butcher's animations and force the damage number out instantly.

Edit: That said, if I remember the math right, it comes out to roughly an expected return of ~-.3 before you factor crits. And that's the best case scenario of just trying on the final Fire in the rotation instead of saving it for a ->Transpose->Fire 3 exit from Umbral.

 

[Kagari]

3 weeks? Huh.

Actually less than 3 months by 8 days. I am shocked. But then when should we expect 2.51? Late February? March?

 

[Demoskinos]

What are the cheapest but not terrible stats for BLM Animus?

I went with +44 Spell Speed +21 Det and +10 Crit

I didn't break the bank too much. The only level IV materia you'll need for that build is Spell Speed and last I checked they were floating around 50k a pop which is one of the cheaper stats to buff.

January 22nd, get hyped.

Wonder what big surprises we'll have in 2.5.

I spent about a week or two trying it out, mainly while I was Nexus grinding. I can assure you that it happened quite frequently.

How many lv IV materia does that build require (let's say that everything melds well)?

How much dps should Black Mage, Summoner, and Monk be doing in T10? Like bare bottom minimum, average, and pro-ceiling.

 

[Valor]

lol, still plenty of stuff out of coil I still need.

Spare some for me plz and ty.

Probably nothing, honestly. If it's coming out this soon, there's probably not a whole helluva lot in the patch aside from the shit we know about already.

Sorry to be "that guy", but also not so sorry.

Monks should be hitting at least 400+. Felix told me their MNK did over 500 on T10. All numbers also have asterisks next to them because if you have NIN support, your mileage may vary. Scy probably knows SMN numbers, but BLM should probably also be able to hit 400 I'd imagine. Personally, I think 10 is weird to get numbers on because there's a lot of things to consider with the amounts of mechanics you have to do and whatnot.

 

[scy]

Depends on gear? I did right under 470 on our last T10 with i125 weapon. ~350-380 was my range when we were learning the fight and ~400+ after knowing the fight when still <i115.

Crush our dreams of Savage Final Coil.

Oh, hrm. Huh.

Where's that Savage Second clear, eh? Walk before you run, boy ;3

Is that not basically what the Apollo missions are? Do they not count because there's no title.

Go beat Starscream first .

You're not my mom.

 

[studyguy]

Curious what the actual sub base is on XIV at the moment with the release of their annual report of 1mil subs between the three.
Have to imagine the bulk of the subs are XIV & DQX with XI piddling along at it's usual clip.

 

[Kagari]

You're not my mom.

The Savage clears will come, don't you worry.

 

[Jayhawk]

Stop acting like an old married couple, you two. Kagari is already taken IRL and in-game... unless Galen is going for the superior Cagalli? Then I support you, bro.

Daily reminder to get your pre-orders in for the WoD crafted weapons and whatever airship crafting madness will be added.

Already been 2 months since 2.4 came out. Where does the time go?

 

[Shamdeo]

yoshi-p in beast mode getting those patches out sooner than expected

 

[Mesharey]

So excited, need new weapon baldly.
Won't spend poetic points too.

Zodiac weapon is the best option if you're not raiding. Most of the stats on the poetics weapons are junk.

 

[Jayhawk]

Crafted weapon might also cost an arm, a leg, and a tail.

Time to sit on Mastercrafts just in case.

And Battlecrafts.

Spoiler

and materia

 

[studyguy]

Mastercrafts were basically going for pennies on excel last I looked. Nice time to stock up

 

[Demoskinos]

Thanks!

I want to say like 11?

The problem is .. I raid and I didn't even collect atmas. >.>
In T10 though, will start the weekly raid next week after stopping for 2 weeks, l'm a PLD so the poetic weapon is good for me (like Burtang with better stats).

 

[WolvenOne]

January 20th huh? Good! Was starting to need a bit of a booster for end game content to do. Need to get serious about getting a few things done first though.

Mmm, probably need to get back on the PVP train, get one or two classes leveled to 50, etc.

 

[Roxas]

thinking of joining Ultros, are there many Euro/UK gaffers in the FC?

Oh well, if you guys beat T11 the weapon tomes drop there.

I created a thread on the Guildworks FC forum for the GARF Apollo Program. Please use that thread for coordinating runs.

It might not be peak server time, but there's a fair number of people online from 9pm GMT onwards - either EU folk or afternoon US players. There was a large EuroGAF contingent for a while a few months back, but I don't know how many of us are still logging in regularly.

 

[Semper88]

Got my first tank drop from final coil A belt

Also upgraded my poetics axe! Yaay

 

[plake]

can't compare to an eu server but there's a bunch of people on during eu hours.

Could always do a three way split, that'll get you out of having to use Tier 4 materia.
