How many tanks did you have?
The goal is to bring as many tanks as possible and still have the healers stealing aggro because nobody is actually tanking anything.
Like half the team was tanks lol
I swear guys, I'm super close to my mount! Let me tank this time!
Wat. And even then you passed what's essentially a DPS check? I guess the DPS check kind of defeats its purpose since that many tanks will simply never die. Also I guess new weapons and stuff made this a lot easier.
Why would you want tombstones in your pocket
If only I got a dollar every time I heard tombstone instead of tomestone
You can easily pull 300+ DPS as a tank in T4 now with echo + ilvl gear. It's ridiculous how low the bar is there. No mechanics, everyone just outright blows up the mobs.
Actual DPS jobs there hit like trucks.
At this point, to kinda-sorta recreate the original difficulty of T4 with 20% echo and current gear, you'd have to four man it.
You can do 3 WAR, 3 PLD, 2 SCH T4 in about 5 minutes. Nobody came close to dying, but I think there may have been TP problems for the WARs and I was almost dry by the end.
I really want to try 7 tank/1 healer next. Farming is boring, doing things the game never intended is not.
We had a guy bow out early and were annoyed that we couldn't just enter 7 man. You really could just go in with half a party and still probably make it no sweat.
Not impossible but why would you do that to yourself? Stacking classes in general is usually not the best idea.
Biggest issue with a 4 Man, is that you'd have to have one of the DPS tank things. I mean, unless two DPS can clear the DPS checks, so one tank isn't holding 2 dreads 4 bots, and a Spinner Rook in that final phase.
Maybe I'm just pessimistic, but that sounds like that'd be a bit much to endure, even with Echo.
I believe in Titan-Egi
Why are people farming T4? For the tank mounts?
New mats are guaranteed drop there. Allagan Leather sells for 300k or 400k+.
Why are people farming T4? For the tank mounts?
Lights, achievement point, allagan mats
Why are people farming T4? For the tank mounts?
Allagan Matetials to craft the ilv 110 gear.
Hadn't considered that, but isn't Titan Egi's damage output more on-line with an actual Tanks? (I'm not nearly as familiar with the Disciple of Magic classes in this game.)
Why are people farming T4? For the tank mounts?
It's like 2 minutes (really like 6 minutes) of work for a bunch of dosh out of allagan items and tank mounts (eventually). Also desynthable items too!
Walk in, hit buttan, get stuff
Not, sure, it kidding.
I mean to be fair, Keen Flurry gives DRG's a great parry rate even without additional parry, but still...
Gotta survive those AoEs somehow

Banned
still salty I see lol
I've been told parry is less effective against Magic Damage tho, and that's what the bulk of AoE's are in this game.
Jokes homie, jokes
People knew weeks ago, it's merely that supply has caught up with demand.
Yes. We had a warning ahead of time that it was coming though iirc.

We technically did have a warning this time though since they said they are doing something at fanfest.
I figured we did, enough people have mentioned the buffs that I figured it was said somewhere.
Oh it started at 10% last time? Maybe that's what we will get again.
If it's a full 10% then T8 about to get blown the fuck out by dudes left and right.

So I'm a BLM and I've been toying around with rotations to try to feel out if I can squeeze more out of my rotation as I'll be jumping into Final Coil soon. Right now I've got this... and of course this is not including any Thunderclouds or Fire starters that might proc
Thunder II > Fire III > Fire I x4 > Blizzard III > Thunder II > Transpose > Fire III > Fire I x4
I figured out that if I do this even without any food I'm left with EXACTLY 79 MP which is exactly what Blizzard III costs with astral fire up allowing me to continue the rotation from there by casting Blizzard III at the end of the second set of Fire I's
I'm just curious of there are any other optimizations I might be missing? I try to use Manawall/Manaward to avoid having to move when I can and when I absolutely have to move I'll use scathe until I can afford to stop and restart my rotation.
Can any Final Coil worthy BLM's give any more pointers?

You should only transpose into fire III if you have a firestarter proc ready. I believe it's a DPS loss to slow cast a fire III. Also, I open with thunder III. No real difference but I find it to be a good habit so that I don't pour too much enmity on at the beginning. Probably helps with timing too since you don't want to lose ticks and you waste more time in the opener because you have to slow cast fire 3.
Edit: also, I suck at it myself, but train yourself to use aetherial manipulation to move around. It gets you less travel time and more casting time.
It's the build of our static! They had a BLM and I'm a BLM and they accepted me! Rocked T10, currently in T11 only 2 days in. Not liking that Weapons node much, but we're managing. Just wondering how realistic things are. So basically, handicapping ourselves, but still doable at least.
What Sorian said. You should only ever transpose if you have a firestarter proc or from Flare if you end up having to use it and not have convert.
Are those the only two casters? If so, then I doubt it's any issue. It's not optimal but you'll still clear content.
Ya. It's BLM/BLM/WHM/SCH/MNK/BRD/WAR/PLD. Just the fact that the Weapons node is magic resistant is making me ponder it. But we're cleaning up the phase good. Gotta down the Egg before 2 hour and that'll be progress.
I know an all physical group can clear T11 so it's whatever.
