Meebles

This one was nearly impossible for PUG, shoutgroup WHM cannot cast bar fast enough (or at all ffs) but sense it was conduit burnable...

How bad is it this time around?

Found it much easier for the geo to sub whm and do the barspells and let the whm concentrate on healing

So Run Cor DD Whm Geo Bard should work with bard focusing on barspells? Also when we doing more Kei lol.

So it's super on point bar spells for warbles and that's it? I was looking at the original thread and it looks like there was some confusion on the Housemaker and then just generally sleeping the adds.

Just want to make sure I'm understanding correctly.

Yeah, some were saying silenced worked others said it didn’t for adds.

Also, what’s the best zone for worms, Woh?

Geo does barspells, Bard Melees. This isn't 2018.

Barspells, Misery Esuna, Silence Housemaker (can still call over his friend even if silence is applied, but silence greatly lowers thsi chance), sleep adds. Pretty standard, with double the HP I'm sure. it was a fun fight before, I'm actually looking forward to tanking this one. RUN should be participating in the DPS, if you go that route. Looks like multi-step was the better way to go for huge spike damage.

last time this fight came around, there was an unusual mechanic where I died without taking any damage in the log. Just completely dropped mid-fight. Nobody in the party knew what was happening, but it only happened once. Perhaps battlemod just didn't record it, but it seemed odd.

One thing that was rather funny, watching the one meeble chase the poor whm or geo all over the battlefield, just to use earthshaker. iirc, it will always be the person using barspells, or someone low on the hate list. Someone will usually die, every fight. The range is not very large, but you can manage to avoid this move hitting the party if you see him charging over and you get out of range quickly. Will help save a few bodies.

One of the dangers I recall is the virus move, which can lower you to somewhere around 500~ HP. This is particularly dangerous if not removed quickly as it will drop the tank almost immediately afterwards. Good to have Panaceas on hand.

Probably Den of Rancor

I assume you mean the Breadwinner and not the Housemaker for the silence?

Pretty straightforward, though having to be on point for barspells means I'm going to need to actually trust a whm...

Just to clarify, this time around the Bozzetto TP moves are:
Blizzard Meeble Warble
Fire Meeble Warble
Thunder Meeble Warble
Water Meeble Warble
Aero Meeble Warble
Stone Meeble Warble

They really went and changed the TP move names? Guess I'll update my react to accomidate for these changes.

Breadwinner yes. Housemaker is that hilarous dude that hides behind the corner like a disgruntled Goblin Bounty Hunter.

is the mob name the same as last time or did they change that too?

Same. I just updated my react.lua file directly in notepad++

Could you post, for whatever reason I can't get multiple lines to work in my react

You rock, thanks!

I'm sorry, but people who use react are pathetic.

If you play ffxi you are already so... you can't double down

I want everyone I do shoutbuscade with to have react.

My time is MUCH more valuable than your pride or honor or whatever.

I would use React if I could get it up and working. I seem to be having trouble actually getting the inputs to line up with the triggers.

I'll probably end up using this, but for a duobox whm. I can understand your point if someone is playing only whm in a party. But to each their own. Yes I could make send rules to send the command from my main or heaven forbid I could have a real whm in the party. But once again to each their own.

I don't care about individual people using react or similar, but the idea that something new came out that requires you to think or pay attention and the thread doesn't even last 6 hours without react profiles being thrown around is sad.

First minute or last hour. You're either good enough or you aren't. Time is irrelevant.

This is in no way new content. The very first post has a link to prove that.

What ever helps ppl with adhd/add/lazy/downs contribute properly during these 20+pg waits.

I mean, if people want it to be done legitimately, give people an idea of what they might need to do so accommodations can be made to fit that, whether that's chat filter settings or places to safely practice the reactions, etc. Don't complain about people using a solution without providing one yourself.
