  1. Wow. After watching this video I went from a headless chicken who makes mistakes every other pull to a headless chicken who makes mistakes every other pull but with a burning desire to get better. Thanks strummer!

  2. Something that gets said a lot in the community is "Anyone can clear any fight in FFXIV" and that is fundamentally true. However I feel many take that as "If you can't clear this in a certain timeframe, you're bad, you should hate yourself, and you shouldn't play the game", which is fundamentally untrue.

    This is why I personally say "Anyone can clear any fight in FFXIV, as long as you have the willpower to do it." Anyone can, but that does not mean a clear is pre-ordained upon you. You have to do work to get it, and the reason it looks so easy for others is because they've done a lot of that work already. And you've got to catch up. So it may take more time than other people, it may have to be small hours spread out over months of agonising waiting to get back into the fight, and it may feel like you'll never see the end. But you will, as long as you want it. Put in the work to win, and the journey of that victory will be with you forever. My first journeys certainly haven't left me yet, I hope all of you get some that you'll cherish too.

  3. Fantastic vid, definitely gonna be sharing this to my friends who struggle a lot with consistency and stuff. Also one neat tip I wanna add, Audio Queues. My favorite example of this is in Ucob with Nael. Rise of the White Raven lines up a lot with mechanics that happen in that phase, so you can use it as a way of remembering mechanics and when they come out. 3D Headphones can help a lot as well if you're listening for where certain things are coming from as well.

  4. What a heartfelt video from strummer <3
    Really though, this is the type of mentality that I hope people adopt not just when it comes to this game but in general.
    A lot of what is said in this video can be applied to any skill that people are hoping to learn.

  5. A few random things I'd like to add when it comes to positioning:
    – position slightly offset to everyone else makes it much easier to immediately tell when you've gotten marked rather than having to wiggle and jump.
    – pre-positioning yourself to the most likely location the next mechanic will take you (within reason). This is especially important if your position is something other people will need to react to fairly quickly.
    – when a (spread) mechanic is up next, do not stand far out of position unless you have a good reason to. Otherwise people who are used to adjusting around others' mistakes will now expend brain power to figure out if they need to adjust around you or not.

  6. Hey! I came across this video while searching youtube on how to improve and i really appreciate the advice, especially when it comes to taking breaks and not rushing yourself nor giving up. It really means a lot as a player newer to endgame content who has goals of clearing all savage tiers on content and (hopefully) clearing any ultimate during this expansion. I'm struggling and working on consistency and damage, and again this video really helped. Thank you very much!

  7. Never giving up is an understatement lol. Some of these ultimate raids take like 3000 pulls to clear. It takes a lot of failure before you finally succeed, and you have to be okay with that as a person.

  8. Gonna sound weird here but I unironically thank you for reminding me how much I do not enjoy the endgame lol 😅 You're going through the list and I'm mentally remembering how much fun I did not have chasing BiS and perfect rotations last time I played at max lvl. You have successfully convinced me to slow way down on the MSQ progression and try enjoy the ride before the inevitable quit when I'm all caught up!

  9. A good tip that makes me able to pick up fights at bare minimum twice as fast as others; Chill. Relax. Don't focus on your rotation. Hell, don't even do damage and fully concentrate on the mechanics. Most bosses don't have DPS checks outside of the enrage. If they do, like adds, only do it then. Having to focus on mechanics AND rotation at the same time divides your attention and makes it easier to misplay or forget things. Focus on one thing at a time which should be mechanics because if you don't play them right, you won't even get further. What use is 500k DPS (exaggeration) if you die after thirty seconds in the fight?

  10. The healer "rotation", I find, comes down to really being able to stay aware of your healing cooldowns. It's important to keep track of the timing so you can optimize where you place your heals and mitigations. DPS, I think to their advantage, have rotations where they're led into hitting abilities at the right moments if they're keeping on top of their rotation. For healers it's much less strict which is almost more of a challenge because you have to stay aware of all your cooldowns all the time. I'm sure my opinion is a bit skewed as a SCH main ('cause our kit locks other parts of our kit out), but good recovery in particular for healing requires you to learn how to analyze "if I use this here, will it be up again when I need it?"

  11. Yup. This is why parse-chasers are total shitlords. Anyone who thinks anything about fflogs other than checking timelines and gcd and mit consistency is probably a bad player who thinks parses means anything

    Like that JP group that just got a ban for literally botting the entire fight to get a rank 1, absolutely dogshit at progging without plugins and botting software

  12. Ultimate raids are all about consistency and being motivated to clear. If you cant learn mechanics or are moving towards giving up then thats when you suck at the game

    The whole parse mindset unfortunately blinds people to this ans why i roll my eyes regarding logs. Logs are only ever useful for speedrun kills or proof you cleared a fight at a certsin timeframe since release like a week. And before anyone gets uppity I parse purple and oranges on average

  13. Enjoyed the video and agree with all of it. Solid advice! Doing my first on content ultimate. Nervous but either way I’m not gonna give up on it. Gonna get the clear.

  14. dude, legit your mention of knowing WHAT a mechanic is doing and WHY it's being solved this way is one of the things i try to explain to people all the time. i've seen so many videos of people using 3rd party tools to show them where to go, but they still fail and mess things up because they never learned why they need to go to specific places.

  15. Kinda hard to do something everyday when you can only do the savage tier once per week. Cause if you do anymore runs you're just hurting the group cause you take away a chest by being there…same with the Alliance raid. One piece per week.

  16. Sprout here and man i cant wrap my head around raids, there sooooo much information on screen. My attention is good but man it gives me some real anxiety watching them. Hopefully once I get deeper and deeper ill have interest in raids.

  17. Back when we were still in ARR before an expansion. I’ve tackled the hardest fight of the game back then which was Second Coil Savage “back when the devs decided to make a harder version of a tier when it was considered a challenge already” with a group of friends, it took hours on end to beat the Avatar. Morale was low during all of it and people were exhausted. But I ended up dozing off and fallen asleep mid pull and slept for over 4 hours, and during that my group waited for me and checked up on me to see if I was okay. When I finally woke up, I wanted to go back in even if my group was concerned at the time. We one shotted. This is what made me prioritize Step 0 throughout my time of playing this game. Taking care of yourself is a major factor if not the most major and you stated it perfectly here.
