gettin glibby with it
"My cup runneth over with x" insert fire, ice or lightning. That's what one of the mechanics used to be. You had to MATCH his element of you couldn't damage him and instead would hurt yourself.
I will forever love the cuts to Smile. Thank you
Frosted charms 14:44
my mentor roulettes are like… either halatali or some ARR extreme trial. i had to LEARN SHIVA EX IN 2024. new and improved torture methods every day.
Episode 10/200 complete!
Frosted Flakes.
frosted flakes ^u^
I'd love to but last time I gifted subs I didn't get anything.
9ms ping in the same region as the servers, baybeeeee!
surely there is some genius who has just responded to Daddy Gaius with angry kid lala emotes? afraid of tall
Based on the context of it being magic, it's obviously lucky charms.
I don't see the tiger telling kids Frosted flakes are magically delicious…
Mad because glib
6:15 My philosophy is: every second you don't use that LB is a second the next one isn't charging. So as a caster main I'll LB on the first pull after it fills, meaning sometimes twice in a single dungeon. Bosses in 60+ content are usually long enough that you'll get an LB1 from an empty bar anyway.
Glib
I wish more people realized that about LB because the amount of times I've been hassled for not saving the LB for the last 2% of the final boss's health is substantial…
> I don't know if there's a speedrunning record of Gaius van Baelsar, but I'm feeling pretty optimistic about our time
There is a speedrun record for Praetorium, and I'm the WR holder 🙂 That did look like a pretty quick Gaius, 43 energy when you kill the last phantom means that phase was only like 7 seconds behind the record. In the record we got Gaius down to 0.1% HP before the Phantoms even spawn, which causes him to drop dead instantly after doing his big attack lmao.
Lucky Glibs ftw
You can't just flashbang your audience with SPEEEEEN and Smile at the same time, you monster.
Lucky Charms. At least there's little sugary bits of happiness in there.
OMG, I heard about Wuk Lamut's voice acting, hoooooly cow that's bad.
In cutter cry u can just run in the 2 trash pulls mapas before the 2nd boss. Save s lot of suffering
69 has to be the longest lvl in all of FF. last time i went through it it took me a week and a half and getting to 71 took me 15 miinutes
for stormblood levelling, anata tribe also is about half a level a day. That, levelling, alliance, and frontline roulettes combined can get around 2 levels a day.
Such Devastation
Sir Spider, you mention auto-attacks at 50, but you're using Ruin 1 instead of Art of War. 😿
"Riddle me this, Warrior of Rizz, for whom do you simp?"
Edit: Okay, I was NOT ready for the Smile devastation… 💀
Sir, I must protest the usage of that DT footage and music. That was uncalled for.
i miss glib 🙁 WHY DID THEY REMOVE IT
You did me so dirty with that scene-stealing segment 18:36, and that bloody song AFTER it 🤣 Merry Christmas, and a merrier New Year without that cat!
Missing my ps4, now I can't glib on XIV😭
I'm surprised how little Cider is getting DT trials/dungeon, I tend to get them like 60% of the time on EU. But then again we really have lack of tanks running those dungeon, so probably his luck playing Healer.
HOLY GOD I was NOT prepared for that Porta cutscene!! I was listening in my car and almost had to pull over! 😂
I know I'm a few days late, but for Cutter's Cry you can actually run straight to the second boss immediately after the first boss. Just don't fight anything in between and go through the sand holes.
I…don't think I ever saw a picto LB either. Talk about a class that people got sick of fast….
Love a new Cider Spider video for Christmas.
I think I may have an OK way to solo XP as DPS from 60-70: Command Mission level 57: The Vault
As Dancer assisting in combat with FC XP Bonus, pre-order Earring and food I can average about 440K XP per run at around 15-17 minutes per run (depends on how easily mobs group and if Curing Waltz and Shield Samba keep you alive) and with Well Rested bonus I’m over 500K exp per run, meaning you could max out around 1.8-2 million XP/hr with Dancer.
I don’t know how that compares to any other leveling method but since it only costs seals and time it’s worth looking into.
