Cannot Compute: a construct 7 thread

If you feel bad for feeling like you're getting belittled for struggling with the math mechanic
Just remember, the majority's brains stop working when it comes to Sweep the Leg. :P

Basically, sure this mechanic might be simple to some people but that doesn't apply for everyone. There will be some who struggle with this, but I'm sure that there are people who always have at least one mechanic they really struggle with. I get that it's pretty hard, but I don't think it means the mechanic should be taken out.

It's...... really that simple.

thanks for explaining, but theres no way i'm going to remember all that, like i said before, i got a learning disability, its like telling you to play with only one of your hands, lets see how difficult that would be for you

Does failing it even kill you? All I’ve seen it do is drop your HP a little further but in the end you still rely on your healers to heal you up before he AoEs. I think the only thing you miss is a damage buff, and even that hardly matters cause all his other AoE nonsense is likely to kill you.

i have straight died after failing the two questions, so yes, i think you can die from this, and one of my characters main jobs is healer, my other character's main job is dps, but i'll be making my first character DPS so atleast i feel like less of a burden to my party

You don't need to remember it.

Get a piece of paper. Write the following on it:

Prime: 5, 7, 11
3s: 3, 6, 9, 12
4s: 4, 8, 12
5s: 5, 10

Tape it to your monitor, lean it up against something, whatever.

When your HP gets reduced, look at your HP (you have 3 seconds to do this). When he asks for a multiple, look at your piece of paper. Pick the next highest number from the correct row (depending on what he asked you for). Subtract your HP from that (you get 10 seconds to do that).

BINGO.

All you need to do is find the correct row, do one Greater Than, and 1 subtraction.

Example:

Your HP gets reduced to 5.

He tells you that he wants a multiple of 4.

On the 4s row, you see that the next highest is 8. 8 minus 5 is 3. Stand on 3.

EDIT: ALTERNATIVELY, you could count on your fingers too if you can't do subtraction.

Example: You get reduced to 4 and he tells you that he wants a multiple of three.

Look at the 3s row, you see the next up is 6.

You have 4, right?

4, 5, 6. There we go. You're holding 2 fingers up. Stand on 2.

I do that whenever I get phonecalls midfight. It's inconvenient as hell.

If it's really that upsetting, then print off a grid of numbers. One for your HP, one for the stat he calls. And then mark which numbers you need to go to for the mechanic.
