The way you said you would rage, I assumed I was way off position, not 3 pixels. I was still a bit worried about the tank busters coming out, even though I know they're choreographed on a schedule. I'll keep it in mind for future stuff

NOT splitting the fae light is dumbfuck meta. Especially if one of the tanks is a pld and can bastion+intervention.

"3pixels".
It's minor shit mind you, and overall you did pretty decently for first runs, although MTing is imo the easiest role(not that the other roles are much harder but you don't have to do tethers I guess).

Hallowed is 420 secs, he wouldnt be able to soak the next one. Besides unless the tanks are severely undergeared the split damage isn't that terrible to deal with.

Now I'm triggered too.
I don't think there is even a reason to move Titania from the center, aside when you have to break tethers. No reason to move her before the first set of Mist Runes, and by the second set she will have moved back to the center by herself and no reason to move her by then either.

Because the higher you select, the more skill people have, so some classes change in ranking depending on their skill ceilling/floor. At the bottom percentile, the dumbest classes do as much DPS because people are fucking awful, at the highest, it's purely the class potential that defines the ranking. If you look at 25th percentile(paint chip eaters), you'll see Machinist is higher than BLM, because BLM requires a modicum of skill to play properly(mostly not moving to do mechanics when you don't have to).

Hell yeah i bet you my ~4 day BLM is that bottom dps slot
I should figure out how to get that dumb dps meter working one of these days lol
edit: on a serious note, that being able to move with ~0.x seconds depending on the cast time advice made a massive difference when i was running dungeons last night lol

I don't recall what happened but I just didn't move her back. I'm not flying around the arena doing shit
You only move her to break tethers

Tbh at 80 BLM can afford quite a lot of movement, if it's planned. For example on Titania I don't mind doing tethers(and I'm always assigned a number anyway, yesterday one guy whined about it how the BLMs shouldn't do it but I said I didn't care). Depending on where exactly in my rotation I am, I'll throw a Xeno, then Triple cast, then another Xeno or swiftcast, and that'll cover the entire time I'm moving, taking my hit on the tether, waiting for someone to pick it back up and moving back.
When it sucks is when you get random targetted and you're like 25% into the cast. If you finish, you get hit even with slide casting, if you cancel, you basically lose the entire GCD unless you have an instant, but even if you do it might fuck up your Fire IVs count in that phase and shit. And the super suck is when you do that, move, and then as soon as you start casting again you have to MOVE AGAIN. That's when shit tends to get dicey with Enochian and stuff and I'll just panic swiftcast Fire I just to be safe.
But overall the class is a shitton easier to play currently that it was in SB, because of the longer enochian and the 2 charges Xeno(and I guess 30secs Sharp too). It's also a lot more freeform which makes it more interesting. At 70 the rotation was extremely rigid and there were very few changes to it but at 80 with the longer enochian you can weave a lot of shit during your fire phase so you end up with refreshing thunder during fire and shit like that, it's cool.

Yeah i was looking at the different rotations per expansion/levels and 80 seems significantly better than anything previous to it, which is why i made the switch over lol

This was my major complaint with Blm, the sheer lack of mobility. My dps tanks if I start moving constantly with this job but I'm glad it's gotten much better.

The pro strategy is to have your tanks handle the lightning tether by themselves and then share Fae Light. That way you have minimal reliance on retard DPS and healers.

The issue is very often the OT is the retard. They only have one job basically but they somehow fuck it up consistently.
Almost done farming extreme fights, I did 20kills of Titania and done with that, got PLD/SCH/MNK weapons as drops and bought BLM cause it wasn't dropping, still have 10 tokens for whatever I feel like, and I'm at 14kills of Innocence only but have every accessory besides one of casting/healing/fending/aiming. I'll do one more kill and buy tanking/healing.
After that no real reason to go for these until 5.5/next expansion for mount farming.
I'm about done with my current stuff to do anyway so it'll be a good time to switch back to MHW and farm all the shit I missed since they're doing a big event at the end of the week. I'll finish lvling DRG(79) and maybe RDM(74) but have no interest in savage and I don't want to lvl everything to 80 like I did with SB, want to leave stuff to use the new Deep Dungeon or whatever content they add for leveling later on.

, where would Astros be for savage raiding I wonder. Granted their overall healing and dps are heaps below scholar and whm but a well played Astro could bring enuf dps to the rest of the group it might make them worthwhile? (Ie divination and stacked deck for dps checks n so forth)
