The spikes are less a problem for the DRG and more a problem for the furniture. You can relax comfortably on a mattress, but getting up is awkward and you have to replace it every time.

(Absolutely worth it though.)

 

[scy]

This is why you don't treat furniture with any amount of respect.

Kings and queens of jobbing and making healers' lives miserable.

Oh snap.

 

[XenoRaven]

Dragoons aren't kings.

If only there was a way to apply Chaos Thrust without Disembowel.

There's nothing better than playing on a couch, except not being able to talk to anyone because talking with the controller is such a pain.

I recommend this BT keyboard. I've been using it for a year no problem with my PS4 and FFXIV and have had to change the batteries only twice.

 

[Qvoth]

how do you take screenshots of your character from the benchmark? i have 2 that i think i'm settled with but can't decide yet so going to ask for opinions lol

 

[iammeiam]

Apparently the earring added to the cash shop last night is from an event in 2011? I guess it's nice they're getting around to making 1.0 stuff available.

The boots are super effective at keeping footstools in line and preventing unwanted duels, yes.

 

[scy]

Poor footstools.

...

Nah.

I was going to do this in the giveaway thread but I wanted to do a FFXIV contest for it because it originally was for my FC.....and out of the 300 members...not a single one uses the forums lol. They Lucked out, whatever.

So did Shiva EX via DF earlier, first time and we did it without wiping . A few mess-ups but the fight isn't too hard.

Only thing I was confused about, I assumed with Avalanche, the person with it would be behind Shiva to get knock-backed and others would move to the sides to avoid it but here people just took it and everyone got knock-backed.

Is that standard in Shiva EX? (regardless of DF/PF)

Also I felt sad when neither of us won the whistle .

 

[Valor]

It's like Kagari hates the Disembowel debuff.

Disembowel is not worth the amount of paeon that needs to be sung when they get raised.

 

[iammeiam]

Isn't Goad that thing commonly wasted on tanks?

 

[Jayhawk]

My group doesn't have a DRG.

Your group also doesn't have Tengetsu!

Disembowel is not worth the amount of paeon that needs to be sung when they get raised.

I wonder who died more in T13 progression. Bards from Blood for Blood or Dragoon from being Dragoon.

 

[Kagari]

I don't see that as a negative :0.

 

[scy]

I appreciate every second of it.

Go back to summoner where you belong.

 

[Jayhawk]

Your BRD and DRG get no Goad love?

 

[Kagari]

Isn't Goad that thing commonly wasted on tanks?

It's wasted in general because Bard will have to use Paeon anyway for themselves.

 

[scy]

Go back to summoner where you belong.

Do I still get Goad?

It's wasted in general because Bard will have to use Paeon anyway for themselves.

To be serious for a moment, Bard getting the first Goad (~30-45s into the fight) and then the other melee getting the second on cooldown puts off Paeon by a fair amount. In some cases (e.g., T13), it removes Paeon entirely.

Realistically, I can get by without a Goad for nearly 5 minutes if I have to actually tank things since IB / Steel Cyclone use; even PLD is sort of fine with Shield Swipe procs and any stance dancing costing 2 GCDs.

 

[iammeiam]

Your BRD and DRG get no Goad love?

My life in T10 is a carefully calculated set of Paeons because trying to roll two DoTs on all the adds in second add set is true suffering, especially when you hear the Goad noise and realize it's feeding somebody's Fracture addiction. Highlight of my night was hitting 0 TP exactly as Imdugud died.

T12 Bennu phase at least isn't a problem anymore thanks to echo-induced 3 Bennu Dream.

My group has been rotating the first two Goads of a fight between my MNK and the BRD since forever. I believe most NIN+2nd melee groups have been doing the same thing. Paeon is only used in T13 if one of the DPS dies soon after popping Invigorate or something, wasting all that TP.

 

[scy]

Since we're talking about total TP, I don't think the order should matter too much? The only reason I mentioned BRD before MNK is since BRD opener is more expensive than the MNK one so you can start the Goad cooldown earlier while not wasting any ticks.

Regardless, it works out to the same total TP recovered so it's really just about using the first one early in the fight rather than in between 1st and 2nd Invigorate or something.

Edit: ALL THAT SAID, keep giving me Goads so I can just Fracture everything

T12 Bennu phase at least isn't a problem anymore thanks to echo-induced 3 Bennu Dream.

I probably would've wiped us if we got 4 \o/

Gotta aim high! When are we trying 2 Bennu pulls?!

 

[Jayhawk]

Yep, it's about finding the right time in the fight for that 1st recipient to get full benefit of Goad so that they don't get capped at 1000 TP and wasting a TP tick. You also don't want to delay using Goad more than you have to. If somebody is capped with 1000 TP, why aren't they spamming FRACTURE?

Doesn't the Ninja run out of TP?

 

[WeaponKnight]

I wonder who died more in T13 progression. Bards from Blood for Blood or Dragoon from being Dragoon.

I'm gonna go with the first option.

 

[Kagari]

Doesn't the Ninja run out of TP?

Yes, they do.

 

[scy]

Doesn't the Ninja run out of TP?

They're still a bit better at TP than Monk. Plus, even with the lowest latency you can manage, you'll still get 1-2 free ticks of TP due to Mudra use. They'll sync up with the Goad'd DPS, though probably burning a bit faster than them still.

Besides that, any fight that doesn't have break times also has multiple adds for the Bard to DoT so their TP is still the limiting factor for Paeon use.

 

[iammeiam]

I probably would've wiped us if we got 4 \o/

After we try and achieve echo-clicked-off 3 Bennu.

Remember when we tried solo-tank solo-heal 12 thinking 2 Bennu would be the easy part and we wouldn't even worry about clearing? We weren't even... Like... Close.

Alternate answer: after we stop being bads. So never.

Scene 2 takes me 16 seconds for whatever reason. The rest are only slightly higher than yours, yet my overall score is 1000 better. You running on SSD?

I have a 120gb SSD but it is for windows only.

 

[Jayhawk]

I'm surprised my 5 year old CPU was able to do as well as it did when I ran the benchmark this morning. Got like 5500+ on 1080p maximum. It might be time for upgrades.

yea ssd what card do you have i got a 7870 my cpu is running at 4.2Ghz also

Pre-Nerf it would have taken a long time to eventually run out of TP.

GTX 760 and a i7-3770k non OC cpu because i dont want to to tinker with that shit.

But seeing as how I have decided to buy a GTX 970 it might be worth overclocking the CPU? I think the warranty on my CPU has already run out so might be worth it, I dunno.

 

[Munba]

It's possibile to switch on fly directx 9 and 11 during the benchmark?

I don't think so. If you're looking for comparisons i'm sure there are some out there though.
