Yeah your bard and SMN seem a bit on the low side. Make sure everyone is using potions too. Skoje can do Foes several times in that fight as well.

Our MNK is losing out on TP so he's having to TP song half the time.

Yeah, I mentioned potions and how it needs to be in everyone's rotation. I'll be ensuring we get them all crafted up for everyone.

Having a ninja in there is so much better lol.

What was your SMN and BRD's damage in your T10 clear?

380-ish is around where most mine end at, though some of that feels a little inflated from Garuda AoE on adds. That said, 380 also feels below where I should be on that fight anyway.

Completely lacking context, this looks like a bunch of medieval warriors just stepped onto the dance floor.
Medieval warriors and their sailor friend.

grats. who got the carbonwire. And think you get to do it again in two days
I got, used on shield. Bummed there is no glow and you can only dye the top part rather than the main body of it.

What was your SMN and BRD's damage in your T10 clear?

Our DPS is slightly too low right now and hitting hard enrage, especially when people die. So I need to try to figure out differences and how we can improve it.
There is a hard enrage? If you mean the ground being gonnnne then there is still time to kill (like 20-30 seconds probably before healers inevitability get overwhelmed)

We're averaging:

MNK - 420-430
BLM - 380-400
SMN - 330-360
BRD - 300-330

Confirmed 100% ACC and all with i115 weapons.

Was that 400 DPS previous to a bunch of you buying i110 crafted gear?
Is this parse over the whole fight or just last phase? If over whole fight that looks about where we were on our first kill. We had zero poetics/zero crafted gear/SMN had an i90 and i100 piece and our exact numbers were:

MNK - 412
BLM - 392
SMN - 349
BRD - 328 (1 death)
WAR - 181 (1 death)
PLD - 150
SCH - 16
WHM - 10

Your BRD is probably a bit low if that is without any deaths, and likewise SMN may be a bit off if they are fully geared. It could just be jitters/getting used to the last phase too, our group gained almost 200 total extra group dps on our second kill and that was still before anyone got crafted gear so no major gear upgrades anywhere.

Hail, peons, for I have come as ambassador from the great and bountiful Blueberry Butt Explosion
I heard from a friend that Square is working on allowing people to change their characters name, any truth to this? Would really like a more gender neutral name so I can use my fantasia potions to change sex if I want.

I really need to change my name. I don't mind it, but I recently remembered the name I used to use, and thought to myself "Man...that's a much better name."

That is very comforting to hear. Those numbers are pretty in line with ours. And means we can beat without deaths (or few)

The parse was based on Phase 1 and 2 (had Moara stop our parse at end of Phase 2 so it was without deaths).

A lot of it will end up being familiarity with the fight. A lot of the early attempts I'd run out of MP near the end simply due to all the Ruin II to make up for all the extra movement interrupting casts.

Pretty much. But that's the same of any big fight.

1% SV NM wipe after healer bites it at 40% for the third consecutive attempt and one of the ninjas can't grasp not standing in front to avoid frost breath.

I don't like you either, game.
 
Has there been any info on making more job-specific Limit Breaks, at least visually?

I remember reading this somewhere, but I don't actually think it was anything official.

I was secretly hoping it was gonna happen in 2.4!

Not 100% sure on this, but I believe during the London Fanfest, they said they plan on introducing the job-specific limit breaks in 3.0.

Hey Kagari, can you advise the control method / settings to ensure you are strafing as BRD and hitting your auto-attacks while moving, without camera locked in on boss. Watching our fight over again, I see our BRD is missing a lot of auto attacks with movement as he's facing away from boss when moving any time.

He's keyboard and mouse.

EDIT - I can't advise as I don't play BRD or use kb/mouse.

My dream is for that to be the final reward for finishing the Relic questlines (along with the final weapon of course),

I think the mention about that during fanfest also talked about them revamping the LB function in general though so maybe they will work on it then.

That's where I was thinking the problem lay (along with practice [I know you hate hearing that] and familiarity with the fight), and I have no problem doing that, but it is going to be one hell of an adjustment.

Key bind move l/r to strafe l/r instead.

weellllll, here's the thing: I hold down the left and right mouse buttons to move. I don't use the wsad keys. So its gonna be an adjustment (like getting your foundation fixed; it needs to be done but its gonna be a royal pain in the ass for everyone involved) And again, I got no problem switching to a PS3 controller if it will help the group.

Can you just do target lock?

No harm in trying at least. Run some Titan HM's and Titan EX's as practice with new controller method and ACT running to see what you get.

I wonder what your movement method is equaling in lost DPS. Most likely the difference between your 370 DPS in T8 to 320 DPS in T10. Maybe even more as you deal with landmines. Well ignoring the add difference and un-familirarity, still a decent loss of DPS.

That threw off Skoje when he tried. WSAD movement is what most people do with keyboard/mouse, right? If so, would be good to adjust to that.

Do you play on legacy or standard camera? If legacy then switching to controller will not help your missed AA problem. It takes some getting used to but target lock is really useful, and will guarantee you never miss auto attack. The main thing you gotta work on with it is quickly switching between on/off so you can avoid aoes and stuff. I had to begin using it when I was doing drg in T8 due to all the missed autoattacks.

(Also I'm fairly certain Kagari is controller master race)

that's the thing, I love my characters name, but it's decidedly female. Celes Geraldine. I have 2 fantaisa potions and thought I might play a Male for a while to mix things up, but not with that name.

Something gender neutral like Max or Alex... or something like Fortune or Sky. Gonna have to think on it a bit, but from what I've read I guess there is a "work around"... I guess I can transfer servers and pay the fee and it will give me the option to change my name on the new server.

EDIT:
isn't there a free weekend or something going? Or did I miss it?

That, lock on is awesome in T11 just be ready to turn if off for the spread/stack.

I think our MNK(450 dps) and BRD(360 dps) play this way.

Also, turn 11 is so much fun :D I hope we kill it tonight!

Farming T6 is pretty easy now. I'm finding good parties easily, and we mostly beat it in first try.

T7, however, is currently impossible to farm with PUGs. Is T8 more viable? I still have to clear it.

Celes could be a man's name, like a French dude or something...

Yeah, I too had to mostly run ballad and peon after the first set of adds.

Numbers of our first kill in case you needed further references :

10:45 min parse
SMN - 399
BLM - 375
BRD - 369
DRG - 367
PLD (MT) - 115
PLD (OT) - 165
SCH - 34

Soft enrage was triggered and persisted for a couple of seconds, which ended up killing half of the raid. It was really a close fight.

Also, congratulations on the T11 clear, guys! Will be attempting to do the same tonight. :)

Our best attempt was 25% with 2 seconds left to enrage. Lol... Need moar deeps!

Is there a hotkey for turning it on/off on kb/mouse. I know on controller you just click in one of the sticks but don't know of something similar on keyboard.

I'd just like Pulse of Life to not have an eight year animation lock after reviving everyone. It doesn't need to be unique, just not last for eternity.

Group screenshots I took did not turn out well after our first T10 kill. Oh well. Group DPS should be about 2000+ to beat the enrage mechanics.

The default key for lock on in the keyboard is num5, but you can easily change it in the keybinds. I mapped it to the top mouse button in the G600.

I just resubscribed after not having played for 10 or so months. Is it worth working on my Relic weapon, or does all of the new end game content out class it?

Also I was dropped from the Ultros GAF Company due to my inactivity but have reapplied now that I am resubscribed and back at it, is there still room in it?

It's still worth doing unless you raid and shoot for the T9 or T13 weapon.
They increased drop rate on atmas and made requirements for soldiery easier (cut down to 500 per book instead of 1500)

Dunno where you are at but they keep adding more steps to it with each new big patch.
