A few concerns about Pictomancer

[MisterNublet]

Do you want us to look at your logs?

Go ahead, it's not like I have them hidden. I already know they're trash and I don't care.

Just amusing to me that the one saying I don't raid, is the person I referenced in my initial post. Maybe I'm wrong and they prefer Quicksands and not Limsa.

They look like you are the casual player: raiding for only a bit over a month and only clearing the first 2 floors of the current tier. So reading from you about what casual players do and what you think savage and ultimate prog people do feels a bit off.

That's two more savage clears than Rowde this wing.

and yet I'm not the one making unsubstantiated claims about a jobs usefulness based on it's spell effects which I'm fairly certain most players doing harder content turn off anyways. heck i turned mine off years ago so i could see telegraphs better in casual potd content

unless i misinterpreted your original post and you were actually trying to critique the mundanity of the job pressing the same buttons over and over again for the length of the fight, in which case I would bring up that's pretty much every job now played "correctly" within the 2 min burst window meta of EW and FFXIV's flowchart fight design

The difficulty of savage isn't from the fights alone, it's dealing with the community that wants to do savage. From my experience, you always recruit for the max number of days possible and then expect to do less, because if someone tries to do a 3 day a week savage, the group absolutely will crumble to two days a week unless someone is literally recruiting and booting the second someone can't make 3 days. And also this tier was kind of bad because if someone didn't get into the early waves of people going full tilt through it, the group probably walled on p10s for a while and then either somehow managed to push through or just crumbled and disbanded.

Also, I'm not sure I'd call content where people are basically forced into a semi-static mercenary life "good content", considering how much dependency this content has on about 1% of the population putting diagrams and guides on the internet just so people can even stand a chance at doing them in a reasonable amount of time. Without freaking youtube and twitch savage and ultimate would be as bad as criterion savage and completely abandoned outside people bashing their skulls in. That isn't even taking into account that the body check hell they forced on people is basically softcore ultimate that no one really asked for. (Oh I'm just waiting for the next person to come in here and say "But people asked for harder content" again and then having to point out that was in regards to the non-hardmode content, not the savage and ultimate).
