hello all o/
Watching you guys play through the 6.x patch content, and then again with the Extremes just reminded me how much I enjoyed doing it all myself. The dungeons were solid – it's where they were noticeably ramping up the difficulty, which has carried through into Dawntrail, and I love it. But the trials? Oh jeez, the trials are just pure top shelf greatness. Barbariccia's fast pace madness, the "stop, look, think" rotation mechanics in Rubicante, oh they're just so good.
14:55 It depends on how much is new with a fight of course, but since they like doing things we've done in other fights and you can just reuse those skills from there, I'd say the average group takes between 1-3. With sometimes more depending on skill and such.
You probably don't remember it because it was during a normal raid, which you did maybe once and may or may not have understood and then moved on. However, the "blue marker" is also found during the Ifrit/Garuda fight in the Eden Raid series.
Barbie was the fight that reminded me just how much I missed WoW.
I love how y’all are learning the community lexicon for mechanics. ❤ I can’t wait for y’all to try savage fights
You have actually seen the blue triangle partner mech before, it makes an appearance in E6N, the Garuda and Ifrit fight
Savages can be done blind, imo thats why the worlds first race has such pull to it. Its great watching teams piece together the intricate puzzles. Honestly if you guys want to try a blind savage, legitimately I think P1 (Ericthonios…or however you spell it) is a good starting point. Its one of the easier savages, but still has some interesting mechanics in it.
Also, I cant wait for you guys to get to Dawntrail's EX fights. Obviously wont spoil anyone but I think EX2 is my favorite EX in the game right now. A lot of fun movement and mechanics in that fight.
Standard markers are clock spot markers for the 8 cardinals/intercardinals.
Usually colorcoded for pairs, with standard clockspots being from north clockwise: MT, R2, H2, M2, OT, M1, H1, R1. This automatically gives you a clock spot, pair and light party just by calling your role spot.
These are usually then tuned for the fight, like barbariccia the intercardinals are positioned so they work as pairing spots.
Had to go back into Ifruda savage for this aka e6s but the double up blue circle marker is known as air bump for when you get hit by the attack in the fight and that's where it's first origin came from.
so funny to see Garret killed by Boulder while having TBN, Shadow Wall, Dark Mind and 2 stacks of Oblation available with only Rampart on CD
Someday the GG boys are going to be at a meetup on a rooftop or overlooking a cliff, and Garrett will whisper something into Kyle's ear.
"Hydaelyn."
And then Garrett will shove him into the abyss.
This was my fave EX until DT EX2 literally perfect fights, both of them, imo. If I was thinking subjectively I'd def give Barbs the edge because she has a cute AF laugh so reset was always a joy, but fightwise def have to give DT EX2 the edge, can't wait until y'all get to that one.
This is definitely my favorite extreme due to the speed of the fight. Nonstop, full throttle fun.
The metal things between glass panels are apparently called came.
If you max your trusts to 100 for Y'shtola she can wear a swimsuit as a glamour
as another tank player I can say you are bias. we all are.
“Enumeration” also just “enum” in colloquial raid chat
Barbie Ex is so fantastic. Every bit of the second phase is so madcap. Healing it was just a blast.
A feels like its been a while since we got a vid like this. Glad you had a good time with barb ex. I worry for Kyle's well being with that ending, but that world's last Hydaelyn clear was really good to watch too!
Barbies back story can be summed up with the Arrested Development “Good for her” gif
Blue markers are "Enumerations" or "Enums"
i dont know how many you heard this from but definitely at least try savage blind, you wont regret it
Just to add because I don't see it mentioned often: The blue stack marker is mostly familiar to me from the Garuda/Ifrit fight in Eden. I know GG have done that fight before.
Your aversion to using markers is very strange and is one of the biggest things holding you back from improving.
Blue mark: Enumeration
I took shall make a post about it being called Enumeration, also to be "that guy" that points out that you have seen i before, in Eden's Verse: Furor (E6N), when you fight Garuda and Ifrit. I will also point out, that this one required two people, but there are other variations that can go higher and require more people. Perhaps this comment will be a worthy sacrifice to "The Algo."
its so interesting hearing you guy's experience with the EXs as people who havent really done savages
since a lot of EXs have mechanics that were exclusive to savages that eventually trickle their way down, so its fun to hear how you guys tackle them!
Almost never are mechanics guaranteed to go on two tanks. I can't think of any off the top of my head. They're generally guaranteed to go on the first and second highest on the aggro table, which is why it's important to make sure as an off-tank that you have the #2 spot. If you're not running tank stance, some poor dps is taking a tank buster at some point.
