Video

I’ve been with my static for 2 or 3yrs now but I’d sooner retire raiding than go back through the process of finding a new one if we disband.

i think you are suppose to hold the tsubame for burst windows as well

Nice vid. I notice sometimes when I do this fight, i end up not fully finishing my Lionheart combo before transition :/ watching this to see if you doing stuff different Ngl

Thank you for the great video, but for the love of god: There's an option to turn off error sounds when spamming buttons. You.. You don't have to just endure it! D:

Have you ever thought about doing some tips and tricks (keeping uptime, dodging mech...) in savage fights as Sam or any other classes in the future ?

I prefer statics. Just choose the right one with same mindset. My static, we aren't the best of friends but we get along well enough. All are committed to clearing the fights for the week so we don't have to meet up again for the rest. We cleared M1-4s in 3 days. PF would get me stuck on bee for weeks on end. Never again

My static has a lot of my old buddies from college, plus some friends we met back at Fanfest 2016. We've nicknamed it "bowling night" since we're all middle aged adults with careers and kids and this is our one time to get away from reality and just fart around together. We're very slow since we only do two (2) lockouts a week of any given fight, so we're HOPEFULLY going to finally clear M1S tonight. Hopefully. (Please don't mess up Raining Cats tethers again, everyone!)

can confirm pf is an unhealty relationship but i'm into red flags so

bois! I've been waiting for this. Thank you my man!

I formed a Finnish static with my wife in Endwalker. It eventually led us into founding an FC. Our static is still alive, although it hasn't been without drama, but it mainly happened when we were starting. Our initial group broke in about a week because one guy was an elitist and took half the group with him. But it was a blessing, as we then managed to form our current group, which is still mostly the same. Few guys have been replaced, but not because of drama, rather due to their personal reasons. The best thing about my group is that we have become actual friends and have met in real life as well.

thanks for info its really helps 🙏

Please don't make me edit this for the 4th time YoshiP, I BEG you.

3 weeks late, but ty!

The most important thing is to choose a group that's at a similar skill level, otherwise it's a drag. PF is memes, but it's also no fuss.

I like the idea of a static, but im pretty sure that is why i burned out in Endwalker. The people where great, but I always dreaded the wait right before raid night and weirdly felt relief if it was cancelled. I always had fun once raid got started, but for some reason I just kinda dreaded having to be home at a certain time to play. I'm currently really enjoying PF for dawntrail. Back in eden's promise i did the first two fights in a static and then PF'd all all the way up to oracle before basically bowing out. It was my first tier raiding savage and I just wanted to get to oracle as a challenge. This was in crystal before server travel, so even getting to oracle was a challenge in PF.

Maybe it’s just me but I have been much more successful getting loot in PF. In statics I have more than once been told by lead to give up loot for someone’s “secondary” character (not the one they bring to the static) and in one occasion we geared this person first (strongest melee) and after getting all their gear and mount first they dropped the static and left us hanging. Honestly, people kinda suck. At least in PF you get to avoid the worst ones. I would like it if in NA we did the Japan method with people using DF to learn and PF to clear/farm. Fishing for a learning party or “clear” party out of PF can be a very frustrating experience.

I was considering sticking with DRK as my "main" tank job, but seeing more Squall skills made me reconsider GNB as FF8 was my first game in the series. The fact that my GNB's crossbar is half as full as DRK is more icing.

had to do a double take when i saw one of those reddit posts was mine lol. good ole talesfromdf

I just do two things, I PF and do Static, this tier for example I did M1S and M2S with my static and then M3S and M4S in PF

The Ugly: Dude falls in love with female static member and the static implodes because she rejects him and he baby rages.

I recommend staying away from savage raiding as a whole. Thats where you will find the most toxic of toxic people and most if not all savage raiders are toxic elitists. Save yourself the trouble and dont fall into their trap

This tier, I trialed for two statics and almost joined one, but ended up joining the other because the schedule was better. Other day I found out that the static I was seriously considering and almost joined imploded on week 2. I really dodged a bullet!! Turns out it was the hardcore schedule and a bit of toxicity and stress that caused it apparently

Best advice is to never raid with friends. Have a static with PEOPLE you can play with. But not FRIENDS. Have friends that you do light stuff with that isn’t stressful like raiding. Raiding with friends will always lead to some tension cause one is gonna under perform or you guys will get stuck on one fight and it’ll turn fun times with friends into a chore

"my guidance are bad"i came here to thank you😅 yes your video helped me .can I ask only for bud layout? Looks clean ❤ I need edit mine right now. 😅

I can confidently say that many random week 1 pf pugs are better than 90% of statics out there, as someone who has consistency issues because of real life but can afford to take time off for one week per raid tier typically, I usually opt for pf

I just can’t stand that one dude in every static that is a whiny little girl😂😂😂.

I did enjoy being in a static during covid because we had so much time. But nowadays with a family, job and social commitments its difficult to really commit now to regular meets. Hats off to those that can though - statics are great fun with the right mix of people.

Wuk lamat really showed him lol

Bro really used footage of that dumbass RIn Karigani's clear for one in a static video.

i hear "9th man to do callouts and analyze", i see the spy satellite from TOP meme playing in my head

I've been in a lot of statics and let me tell ya, good communication skills are so crucial to success it's not even funny. Some people think it's something you either have or you don't, but I definitely think its an acquired skill that anyone can work to attain.

This game has millions of players, but it's impossible to find seven other people who are not weird and have personalities that you like to play video games with. I don't aim for the first week clear, so I chose PF over static today and on any other days.

clearly you have not seen the level of drama that can happen within the hunt community

Main issue with Static recruiting is oh look if parse isn't high enough it's not gonna happen. I really wanna do the fun things and harder content, but wanting to do so with people who care about numbers makes me annoyed.

I like being in a static cus I can farm dramas.

caster ditch our group after bis /shrug

I managee to clear my first savage using party finder, its so much fun. Going to try joining static next savage patch

For static It's Attitudes > People > Time > Skillplays. if static members have the same vision/goal are the most important ones. you can't bring people who want to just get the clear and take loots mix into people who want to enjoy the raid.

The one thing I saw that causes alot of unneeded pain or time wasted on many players joining statics is either underselling themselves or static trials. If you undersell yourself out of a subhardcore group and go for a fairly casual midcore, you will feel everyone is going too slow for your pace and they don't really care about clearing the tier as much as you do. Most casuals groups are glorified friend groups which is perfectly fine! Just be sure to never undersell yourself as a player and always put in practice, this sort of segments into the other problem which is trials. Many people worry so much about passing a trial to join a group that they miss the big message, a trial goes 2 ways. You as a player should be looking deeply into the group the best you can and always ask the question "Can I see myself spending 12 hours with these guys"? if its a yes, then you probably will have a good static, if its a no then you should dodge the bullet and save yourself the hassle. Static drama will always happen because drama is really just people needing to fix an issue and usually if you talk it out like adults you can skip alot of issues. When it can't be fixed because the player just isn't improving or is subborn and refuses to hear any of it out, that's a good sign to leave! Better communication over more communication, it will save you and 7 other people days of your life if you/they speak up about needing help understanding a mechanic!

Weirdly the reason i do not join static anymore because i ended up reliant on voice chat callouts. In PF however you only rely yourself for callouts. Besides, what's the point of MMO if you ended up playing with same 7 others people anyway

As someone who just had to replace a static member that is the worst part of being a static leader. I liked them but god damn they couldn’t do enough dps and everyone else was struggling because of it. In the end I had to tell them they were getting replaced…… we went from dying to enrage multiple times on reclears to beating it by a wide margin even with a death or two. Sacrifice of one man’s feelings to save the time and patience of everyone else

If you have a good static kudos , if you manage to get a good PF match up great. My days of raiding are over and my blood pressure has stabilized… so everyone has good and bad experiences, such is life!

"Sir... sirrr" - Yzr TOP clear

Hey yo, I've noticed that there were sometimes you continued with the normal filler rotations after the burst, and sometimes you did the 3x Atonement combo. When do we use either?

I’ve experienced both sides. PF is just too much of a hassle to deal with. Some of my best memories in FF14 were with my initial static which unfortunately imploded during DSR. I don’t have much time raid anymore unfortunately but I think once you find a good static with good people who work well then you are set

Which is why I'll never go on statics again :), the video resumes very well the good/bad/ugly of a static If you have unplanned things happening irl in static time, drama occurs because you value irl over gametime (in my experience) So if you have a busy or unpredictable life (work with random calls, etc), statics might not be for you

Thanks for the guide. I was looking to start playing bard. The gameplay looks fun too bad that the numbers don't follow through

I got jebaited from the discord sound when someone leaves the VC at 4:04

Bout time! I had no idea what I was doing with this jobs complex rotation and opener.
