Didn't make the cut.

This is a good reason to get in the habit of recording your runs. It's useful for looking back on your own mistakes and getting input from others. As it is, much as I would like to help we only have your word on how things went, and memory can be quite the unreliable narrator.

It seemed like on a lot of the stacks we'd lose a couple people, and the lead didn't seem to be sure if it was because of improper stacking or people not being topped off, and to be honest I'm not 100% on it either. By the time the group decided to retire we had made it to double flares with like- 4 or so people still up.

Sounds like improper stacking if everyone has near full hp(more ast than sch) + mitigation(which is more sch than ast), everyone can be in it except for hell wind preys, eye person just slightly south but still in for stack and eye does a bit of dmg on top of petrify but is 100% advoidable so it would be on individual players if they got hit.

But ast can help out a bit easier if in voice chat, stack person counts debuff from 5 once they say 3 pop CU between a gcd then drop before dmg hits so can start precasting heal and if you had earthly star down pop it the moment it hits, if not then CO between gcd heals. Main tank is priority for ED until 2nd Hell winds + flares due to 2 dps needing to enter the bleed puddles after getting down to 1 hp, ED is best heal between ast and sch there, if people are still low like <50k low lightspeed heal while going to position.

This.

Shadowplay or OBS, record yourself for reference. It's amazing how many things you will be missing in the heat of progression. Whilst a video replay isn't as analytical as a log, it's a lot easier to self evaluate with and it really can shine a light on faults in your gameplay.

I think even PS4 can record. I know they can at least stream and catch the replay on twitch.

Yep double click the share button when your runs about to start and click it once when you wipe/end.

Yep, having your own PoV is valuable. Getting a battle log from someone on PC is also valuable if you are on PS4.

To me with raid try outs, I try to make sure the other healer that is likely making the call on me that they don't have to do "extra work" that probably didn't have to do before, along with keeping up with always casting. For a progression try outs like this, I think being vocal about what you can do to help push along after wipes if you feel that it may have been your fault can also go a long way. "I'll put CO up for this stack". Figuring out band-aids on-the-fly to get a raid group further is a good trait, it doesn't have to optimal and obviously you can rip these band-aids off if you figure out it's not needed anymore.

Yeah, I guess I need to get into a habit of documenting what's going on in my learning parties more often.

Not sure if there's a setting that changes the way the record feature works, but my PS4 constantly records, overwriting the oldest for a total of 15 minutes. So rather than pop it before a run, I just need to remember to pop it after the run.

Oh I was just saying to double tap because it forces the PS4 to record a fresh clip that way Incase your doing something in between pulls or have to re instance and people go afk you don’t have all the fluff on the video.

That's actually a really good point. I didn't even think about it that way.

Edit - I may need to start doing this, myself. XD
