In all seriousness, what do I do with Cruor now?Follow

Just curious, but did they fix NPC buff/debuff lockouts in general? It's kind of weird to simply fix it just for brewing.

It fixed "stopping time" for all buffs and anything else that was frozen before. For example, checking chests in abyssea with a cor roll on you would freeze the roll whereas now it doesn't. Same goes for auto-refresh from traits or atmas now as well. Before any regen/refresh/regain would freeze, but now will keep building as you check chests or talk to npcs outside abyssea.

A minor downside to this is not being able to talk to npcs to freeze poison, bio, etc while waiting for a friend to get in range to take dots off at low levels. Of course, losing evp isn't an issue until past 30 now, and dying in general isn't an issue like it used to be.

As far as parsing VW, I've only ever seen it used so some d-bag who never bothers to proc can wag his epeen and berate everyone else for their alleged lack of damage. So while it can be used for good, I've only ever seen it used for evil.

Someone in the party used it on a Bismarck I was leading when I asked if the party should do march march min mad or march march mad mad (this was before dharp was common). It helped us pinpoint that the party was having ACC issues and adjust accordingly.

Umm considering you've been in alliance when I've done Morta, and I always parse at least the first two to three fights, you've definitely been in a situation where parsing has been used properly.

That being said, I rarely discuss details inside party chat and prefer to use /tells. Unless someone specifically requests the info be put out there.



Maybe you don't do the high end voidwatchs or are in the back line. That "alleged lack of damage" is win or lose. The higher end T6 / Bismark / Morta / Prov NMs all have "f*ck you, you lose" TP moves. The longer they live the lower your chance of winning, especially once buffs start wearing. If it's not dead (or almost) by the time songs and rolls start to go then your damage is going to grind to a halt, and then it'll be spamming stupid damage / status effect moves, fanatics will be down and your procs will grind to a halt unless your incredibly lucky. Over time stupid procs like "PUP JA, BST pet JA, HV Dark Nin" and such will start accumulating along with a horde of BLU and SMN procs. WS procs take forever to do and are generally not worth it unless it's an HV / EV. All these things conspire to make voidwatch a "make it dead now" rush fight.

Now if we're talking about Pil / Akvan / Kaggen spam, or even LL fights, then it's stupid easy.

That's probably why I wasn't aware of it




I have seen the most parse epeening at Qilin, and he's kind of a wuss.
