Currently writing up a multi page opti document. Still a major WIP. Feel free to take a look at it for now: docs.google.com/document/d/16MIDSN76XQfhKNIsySh_ahtX8mpL4h8scJvMEYfJi7I/edit?usp=sharing
Oh I forgot to finish the opti document... It's basically /targetnpc followed by a bunch of spam of /ac "Aspected Benefic" The other ones are /ac "Essential Dignity" and Benefic II This allows me to target hauchefaunt without having to click him manually. I can then instantly retarget the boss with tab and keep hitting
I'd love to see your thoughts on optimization for this. As I also played AST in this fight for prog and clear and feel like I can do this fight on AST with my eyes closed by now, I've only managed a blue. Your 95 is astounding. The way you play the job is incredible.
Thank you!! I'd love to write up and share an opti document at some point. Though with ast's rework and changes it would probably be obsolete lol. That said I'll jot down some initial thoughts and optis in this comment block. P2 was pretty straight forward, just keep uptime throughout the short phase. The only thing I debated on was when to place star at the end of Meteors. Due to our kill times it would either cost me and entire usage of star, or I could get it under the 20% debuff thordan gives. I opted to just lose the usage and get it under the debuff since our kill times were really inconsistent. P3 i basically coordinated with my healer, I'll heal the first set of stacks, they'll heal the next set. In reclears I was able to skip the neutral sect GCD during uptime, but it's such a small loss that I really don't mind using it there irregardless. Just keep your uptime, and refresh your dot as the first set of dives goes off for movement. Swiftcast is necessary if you have down arrow or youre taking the 2nd set of towers. P4 was straight forward, you can choose to either pot at the end of P3 or start of eyes for the double dot damage + double minor arcana cleave + Macrocosmos/Star. (Star may not always be in pot, thats okay). Shielded the first set of dives with Celestial intersection and popped oGCDs so the first set wouldn't die. Intermission was kinda funky, took some coordinating and some trial and error to figure out. But basically, once the melees get hit, neutral sect aspected benefic horsefaunt once. Pop your ogcds so your party doesn't die, use ED as hauche gets lower. At the end before the raid wide, throw another aspected bene + asp helios and you can get through intermission with 3 GCDS tops. It's at this point I would hold a Lord of the Crown if I got it, since I've gotten super unlucky and got 4 Ladies in a row before meteors :( P5 was easy, be sure to Pot + Card self + Astrodyne + Macrocosmos + Double Minor Arcana + Star here. This alone is a HUGE portion of my damage. My biggest challenge was P6 and P7. P6 was about trying to keep uptime and healing the darn tanks. Slidecasting was very very difficult in this phase, so I used by dot refreshes graciously to try and keep movement going. Even then, there was times where I was very late to move and was forced to throw a regen on the tanks to just keep my gcd rolling. The biggest opti I did in p6 was using Aspected Helios + Horoscope after AhkAfah 2. This allowed for horoscope to expire and heal the party RIGHT as WB2 was finished. That + Star allowed me to heal up the party before Cauterize hit 9/10. Occassionally I had to throw an ED on the rot melee, (or asp benefic and almost die to greed in this case... lol) That mech was an absolute nightmare. This also allowed me to hold Celestial Opposition for the tank autos that follow HW2 buster to minimalize the amount of gcds needed. Now the final phase was very well planned out with my party. I spent weeks getting the opti right and even then none of it went to plan lol. I wasn't afraid to GCD heal this phase, I still tried to keep it under 10-12 but I believe this pull it was just too chaotic. AM1 was just neutral sect spam + 1 more after the raidwide goes off so it lasts for giga1. Giga1 i blundered completely, I meant to use star on the second hit but popped it early so i just GCD healed to be safe. AM2 was also blundered, I wanted to use macrocosmos but it was up late cause we killed the boss too fast prio lol. In reclears I opted to just put star there instead. Spamming helios wasnt necessary, it does next to no damage, just 1 asp helios + horo was enough. Giga2 is where astro loses uptime, there's nothing you can do about it. In reclears I use macrocosmos for movement + swiftcast + dot refresh. Even then I lose about 2 gcds worth just cause I'm rotating around the arena lol. AM3 is free lol. Yeah I'll write up an opti on google docs or something lol. Thanks for asking, there's still a million things I wanna go over but this was just a very general gist of it throughout the phases.
@@Juahos I know with the rework it will all be a thing of the past but because I've spent so much time thinking about these exact same things I simply HAD to hear your perspective on it. Great stuff, thanks. Particularly in love with the horoscope on Akh2 in p6 because I've never thought of such a thing and that's just brilliant. Smartest strat I've ever thought of is to synastry the wall tank for hallow wings 2 and bounce the heal to them lol. Thanks again and congrats.
hihiii! can i ask what mod you're using to make your waymarks and party icons looks so nice? :3
hi i used materia ui and better waymarks here! Can just look both up on google and youll find it pretty easily :3
