I don't think he's saying for it to be shared equipped items but a shared token drop. e.g., there's no BLM Gloves and SMN Gloves from the same boss but simply a Caster token for them to both get to then turn into an item.

Well, for one, my point was that it isn't just a Primal thing because I'm on the Chaos data center and have never seen him tanked middle since the day LoTA was released. The rest of your post is just plain douchery so I won't bother replying seeing as though it doesn't apply to me anyway.
Yeah I'm well aware of him being tanked in the center on many data centers. I was pointing out that saying its only primal is wrong.
Yeah, sorry if that wasn't clear. Ideally every class would have their own unique set but share a token. This way different classes can get different stat set ups, have unique gear, and it doesn't overbloat the loot tables.
Or again, pretty much the antique system they have now for AF2 gear. The only real problem here is that it means they would need to design more unique gear, though some of the unique allagan gear between classes already look pretty similar
I don't know what is up with Ultros and tanking him up north. Never understood it when I read about it here.
That sounds great, and I'm really encouraged for the expansion based on impressions like yours (and others recently posted in here) combined with all the content they've added since I left the game for close to a year (right around when Crystal Tower opened). The developers seem a lot more sure of themselves and what works and what doesn't, so that combined with the idea that everything is now going to be new (versus 1.0 reborn) is really exciting.

Guess I'll just sit here with a thumb up my ass waiting for a FATE to spawn so I can actually raid...
Brilliant idea for a quest, SE.

Like I already stated I don't play on Ultros so yeah. Not sure why you're directing this at me.
I don't know why but I assume it's just to separate the skeleton spawn point from the stack of people.
Unfortunately, everything still fucks up so whatever.
you should know these things anyway
apparently
Edit: Idle curiosity, what's your Cerberus done as normally? All DPS to belly or A/B/C? I've seen a few mentions that A/B/C seems to be yet another Primal thing but I have no idea if that's true.

I've seen both all DPS in belly and A/B/C.
I've seen WoD alliances fail at both methods.
I've seen some shit. WoD is suffering.

This is my experience as well. I'm one and done for WoD every week. Having every class at 50 gives me that luxury I guess. Did 42 runs first week ugh.

Man trying to carry a healer through T9 was a lot harder than I thought. Lunar Dynamo with lag is disheartening at times.
Who started this all dps in the belly things?

"HUD Layout" under the "System" menu.
It's legitimately the best way to do it. Or at least one from each Alliance anyway for LBing the walls to instantly remove them.
Just hard to get it working right.

What I've seen a lot of is A stays out, B goes in, C healer/tanks stay out for adds/boss(whichever they're on) while DPS goes in too. It's fast enough to be honest, and I don't think you can fit every DPS in the raid in there anyway, he stops eating after a while. It doesn't make much of a difference either way cause I've never seen a DF WoD kill him before the 2nd eating phase, and at that point you're just saving 15-30secs by having more DPS in it or not. It's like people not chaining him right away because "more DPS". He still dies on the 2nd stomach regardless anyway, the only thing you're doing is wasting everyone's time if mess up and don't reattach in time since then you wipe.
If anyone knows where these two items are, please give me a call!
If dreadwyrm claws don't drop first, it will be criminal.
This is actually not entirely about the total kill time but just less time spent with Cerberus doing stuff, less adds going around, etc.
Spear and Pants are only DRG dread pieces I'm missing. It's criminal. Would trade them all in for BRD pants, tank pants, or MNK feet/hands.

It is slightly less time yeah, but you also have to account for the amount of time everyone loses by running into the mini, then into the goop, then waiting to get eaten, then loading in, then loading out, on top of losing various rotation stuff like GL3 and Astral 3 and so on. That damage lost is basically the damage you'd dedicate to killing the 2-3more adds you get if there's not +8DPS in the stomach. Now, if B is a bunch of idiots and terrible players, then you would lose DPS by not sending more people because it'll take forever so you get like 8 adds or whatever, but as long as they're semi competent, the kill time is pretty much the same and the main difference in overall kill time is more about how good your raid DPS is in general.
Ultimately, the kill times are close enough that it doesn't really matter too much. The only thing I really say should be done is the one DPS from each Alliance to just LB but even that is more just about using the LB instead of not and is pretty much unnecessary.
It's WoD, the only real requirement is mechanics being done really.

Anyone got pics of the latest DRG sets and weapons for this old chump? :c
no lalas or lewd cats pls
Wait, all DPS is an actual think for Cerb? I thought the guy today was just joking... hell a lot of us did so when no one said anything to it, the ABC method was done instead. Our problem wasn't anything to do with who went inside or not though. Our problem was that we had 3 tanks who just didn't want to tank.
I still don't know who started the Cerb fight (we didn't wipe though haha) but I do know enmity switched around a lot... most of them non-tanks for the first 20 - 30+% of his hp.
My 3rd WoD run and also the messiest. But we still didn't wipe on any boss surprisingly.

Fuck that man, I've still never seen ONE DRG piece in FCoB. Not a single one. Seen gear for literally every other job, such as the 9000th Bracelets of Fending that the tanks don't want because they have melded, or 500th healer drop.
FCoB has been brutal to me on the RNG.

Thanks man, I don't frequent reddit so I would not have run into this otherwise.

So the Alex infusion process has forced me to start spiritbonding, in hopes of getting Savage Might IV's, and I've actually been enjoying it despite the RNG. Part of the fun is selling IV's I don't need for 200k each. Making 1/2 a mil per day and after 3 days have found two Savage Might IV's as well. This part of the Zenith quest is really not that bad.
Still dreading collecting light in the next step though.

About a week ago I listed 3 Mummer Wrasse for 1k each.
Right after, some guy on the market board listed 3 of them for 999 each.
We were the only non-HQ listings of these on the board.
We spent the ensuing week undercutting each other by 1 gil every day.
My 3 just sold for 992/ea and his are still up for 993/ea.
This is one of the more amusing things that's happened to me since I started playing the game. I wish I knew who the other guy is. I wonder if he found that little skirmish as entertaining as I did.

yup, looks like FFXIV. incoming endless bunny glamour.
The biggest thing out of all of those pictures is that Setzer's outfit is NOT gender specific. There are females wearing it.
But what if I want to become a Bunny Boy?
