Someone doesn't understand what an elitist actually is, what a shame.

[Conadrium]

I do, but a lot of people forget how small streamer / content creator visibility actually is.

Yeah… I know that one woman who was Ukrainian and had to flee the country but that’s about it.

By all means, find me a party that is on my level and I'll be more than happy to embarrass you further. Until then you are better seen and not heard, dismissed

hi, if i may, i have some feedback

your party isn't holding you back, in your best p8sp2 clear you didn't use verraise at all and your rdps contribution given from embolden is only ~200 less than in a rank 1 log - its not the best, but its still serviceable to hit orange at least

your issues are:
a) barely 95% gcd uptime, this is the main contributor
b) another big contributor is the loss of a manafication usage as you're not rushing it (using it on cooldown, including in downtime). aligning it with raid buffs sounds like a good idea on paper, but its causing you to lose a melee combo over the course of the fight, which is a much bigger loss than you'll gain by having perfect buff windows
c) perfect buff windows leads me into the next point - your buff windows should contain a full combo and a set of finishers (verflare/holy+scorch+resolution) if you're aligning manafication with embolden. you didn't achieve this once, with the closest attempt being your 4:50 window (natural alignment 2) where you used embolden before the start of your first combo and managed to fit a verholy and a verflare in it
d) lazy drift of contre sixte causing a lost usage in the fight (mainly caused by not getting it on cd before high concept 1)
e) same as above with corps-a-corps and engagement but this is a bit more understandable - you'd have to change your opener to be able to get them off before high concept 1 (i'd advocate for double weaving pot with fleche or contre sixte in your opener or simply moving the potion to 2:40 after high concept 1 to accommodate this)

feel free to look up my character if you feel like you need to verify the credibility of my advice, and i'm happy to answer followup questions should you have them

glhf!

I already know how to play thanks. When your party wipes you for over an hour and a half you stop trying to optimize as you don't have the energy to do so

And I am not the topic of discussion here, bads are toxic casualism are. Get back on track

i appreciate that wiping is tiring but if you took the advice in earnest instead of making a defensive reply to someone genuinely trying to help, you'd probably be better off - lots of the points are still applicable even in the first few pulls of your hour long session.

best of luck in the future though, i hope you find the right group for you eventually!

Again, know how to play, at a very high end in fact. Again, not the subject of this topic. Again, address the actual issue

I don't pvp, but my friends do, and they'll show me like... a sort of ranked tally sheet at the end of each match, where it shows who got how many kills, how much damage you dished out in total, etc. I don't know what to call this thing, but I wish we had something similar in PvE. It could even include other metrics besides damage, like number of people you ressed so that all the red mages and summoners who waste time ressing dead people can actually get some appreciation for it. Maybe it could have multiple tabs, even. Like, a tab for damage, a tab for support, and a tab for the tanks who didn't turn on their stance at all for the entire 30 minute alliance raid and had to be told to separate adds and provoke a boss that was running wild after the MT died because despite having 1 job, 2 off-tanks just couldn't be bothered to do it.

Frankly, since it's already in the game for pvp, I don't see the ethical reason for not having it in pve. Everyone's acting like people will melt down and cry if the end of the duty reveals that they didn't do jack shit. Maybe contribute if you're worried about that.

I don't consider myself to be particularly good at this game to be honest, but some of the players I've seen in the past 5 or so years would make me cry for them.
