Done the first 2 fights of the raid.

I like the changes to the loot system. While you still have to farm each fight to get 1 loot each, you can choose which loot you want, so there's a much higher chance you'll get what you want.

Also the first 2 fights were really cool so far, I cannot wait to see savage.

So does the WoL have some kind of trauma, or something? Because how did we turn Titan into a go kart? Or maybe they did it for shits and giggles idk.

he's combining his memories of titan with other earth-aspected enemies like the garlean motorbike guys

leviathan has aspects of shinryu, seiryu, and susano too

So we're for sure gonna fight Ifrit, Shiva, Ramuh, Garuda and Eden again in some capacity. What could the other 3 fights be? I'm wondering if Eden will forcibly recreate other memories for us to fight... so Bahamut, Alex and Omega again? That would be bizarre.

I doubt Bahamut since Mid didn't seem to come to First.

Since this is a VIII heavy raid, much to my dismay, I am guessing we will see Ultimecea in some capacity. Maybe we will see First's Odin along the way, and it will involve a giant statue. Heck, maybe the final boss will be a big hotdog, a sentient plot hole, or both.

Okay, thinking about it, there are so many ways they could take these future fights, and some of them could be crazy. Like Ramuh for instance. Because we fought it in the Shroud close to Odin and King Mog, what if there's elements of those fights thrown in? Or, what if Ramuh is some kind of weird mix of Ramuh and Rhalgr. Or Shiva could look like Ysayle, or maybe as part of the encounter we'll have to fight a Hraesvelgr lookalike with elements of Niddy. I'm kind of excited to see where they're going with this.

Also, speaking of the First Brood, there's still no sign of Vrtra or Azdaja. I wonder if they're even going to be relevant at all. And actually, to my knowledge, they're only mentioned by name in the lore book. I'm pretty sure they've never been mentioned in-game.

A lot of the new RDM skills are kinda baffling. Like I'm not sure why I would ever use Engagement or Reprise? At lease the aoe rotation is a little more complex than just spamming Scatter over and over.

Also, MIN and BTN are 80, FSH is 75. After that I think I'm gonna work on CUL and ALC so I can make raid food and potions, since those are always in demand. Of course I plan to level everything and omnicraft eventually.

Also I think after RDM I'm going to do MCH, DNC. GNB, then maybe NIN or SAM.

Engagement

for when flipping backwards 15 yards is a bad idea

papercup posted...
Reprise?

free movement when in range of a boss. could see it being useful for starboard/larboard situations in o11s for example

edit: oh, it gains spellcasting range when enchanted, so you dont even need to be near the boss

Weird. Didn't WoW just launch a new Mythic tier? Maybe there was another influx of wowfugees or something? Or maybe it's just normal raid traffic and the anticipation for savage.

Finished leveling RDM and completed the rest of the role questlines.

That was kind of anticlimactic? I figured there wouldn't be a fight at the end, but wow, the story kinda just stopped rather than wrap up. I assume there will be more later sometime down the line because Cyella knows Unukalhai.. Also I want her gear.

Started leveling MCH. Wow, it feels completely different, and it's actually a lot of fun! Really spammy, and Drill hits like a truck. I might actually consider raiding on MCH once it's leveled and geared a bit.

And man, savage in 2 days, I cannot wait. We're still looking for a second healer, but if we have to pug it, so be it.

Will go into Savage tonight. Currently i449, fully melded with materia 8s. Strangely enough, I wasn't actually able to kill the savage dummy. o_O I was like 2% off. Although, I heard that the dummies are actually way overtuned. Like 10%-15% overtuned. And that the DRG ones in particular are VERY overtuned. I've killed savage before. I aint worried XD

Ugh the savage grind begins again...maybe this time ill actually clear the whole tier instead of finishing the 3rd boss and never attempting the 4th.

Hagakure's back though, and im not sure how to properly use it now that its much weaker but only has 5 sec cd

Dummies are definitely overtuned and tuned weirdly to each class, yeah. For titania, people reporting clearing it immediately after hitting 80 on dnc and it being near impossible on tanks. I still haven't unlocked it because damage parsers is still a more reliable method of gauging self progress lol.

We go in Friday and Saturday. Still preparing gear. And maxing my last few crafters... >_>

We're going to go back in tonight to progress more on e2s. I think we can clear it. Then perhaps we'll start e3s. But our goal next week for sure is to clear e3s and start e4s.

From what I've seen, e1s actually looks like one of the harder/more frustrating fights of this tier, just because there's so much forced movement/down time. Everything I've seen of the other fights makes them look funner.

Edit: at least on melee. e4s has a ton of movement too, but Titan's hitbox is gigantic so there's that least.

We cleared 1s in a couple pulls (took people a bit to remember the fight lol) then we got me to enrage in 2s. We'll clear 2s thursday (hopefully).

I hear the 2s dps require is ridiculously tight so I bought some HQ grade 2 tinctures. So when we start hitting enrage consistently I'll pop those to hopefully give us the boost we need to kill it.

I think the dps requirement for 2s was like 71k or something so you can check from the start of the fight till where your first major deaths are each pull to get an idea about potential dps. We're like just short of it right now (we've only seen the triple mechanics like three times, but at the end of the day we were getting near it pretty consistently).

71k? Huh. I remember O9s being 36k, so I guess i450+ is that close to double the dps of i385-ish. Good to know.

They also redid their damage calculations, so in addition to the increased level cap and inflated ilvl the baseline damage is just way higher than it was. Like end of SB I think DRG was doing like 6-7k? I do like 11-12k now.
