A funny interaction with the Towering Oliphant that was using rout on my friend. As a paladin, I stood next to them, but outside the telegraphed zone, and use cover on my friend. Since I took the damage, I ate the knockback, while my friend remained in place. weeeeeee

I’m wondering, diamondback cancels any time you are forced to move (knockback etc). The fact that you stay in DB while in his hand is weird. Are you actually not moving on the server and your computer is just drawing an animation? Kinda like Ifrits dash. He’s not dashing, it’s a line aoe that flashes and your computer is just drawing something for you, basically unrelated.

I really have no idea where this myth came from. For the two years or so I've been playing, everyone just dps'd him down and healer had to heal the person being bullied (usually the blm lol) and then all of a sudden I had an influx of people trying to stack the line aoe saying it shared damage?

Good to know the bard songs pulse every few seconds. Kinda wonder why they went that route with their party buffs, instead of just letting them stack. But I suppose that's something we'll never know unless they tell us. Guess it really does mean: use the same song, or fight with other bards over which buff the party has the longest. Who can turn their volume up loudest?

I believe the reason is that if they did stack, then I call dibs on being the bard that gets to use wanderers minute during raid buffs! 😂 In other words, it would be much less fun to actually be the bards in some capacity! 😅

The fun fact on this answered the question I had about bard songs after hearing that one. I was wondering what do you do if you have two bards? I guess ideally play different songs, as you’re probably only likely to see that in casual content? If not, then I guess wanderers minuet is the one you want to run under raid buffs and otherwise run the opposite song? This is way outside of my skill level for playing bard but it’s interesting nonetheless!

That does not seem to affect it no. But some members of the caemmunity went on to test further and it may align perfectly with the so-called "actor tick". This is the individual timer that ticks every 3 seconds to give you hp regen and mp regen. This timer is actually perfectly identical among all party members when you initially enter a duty, and by making use of this, two bards have their songs basically both apply in the same frame repeatedly, only allowing one of their songs to run at all 😅

So, after your opener, do you only use Mudras to keep up Huton and Suiton? You don't use any Raitons unless the target is debuffed by Trick Attack or Mug?
@CaetsuChaijiCh
@CaetsuChaijiCh 10 сағат бұрын
For the most part yes. But this is mainly because the charge time to fully max out on mudras take so long that you don't exactly have extra mudras that would be worth using outside of a trick attack for example! In a minute you generate 3 mudras. Of those, one of them needs to be huton, and one of them needs to be suiton. That leaves one to be raiton 😊

I like AST because of how busy it is. Earthly Star is a ton of fun to use because it's both a heal and an attack. Macrocosmos, while having a milquetoast animation, is also really cool because it's an AOE attack that banks damage taken to be restored later. My biggest issue with it is that it has a 180 second cooldown, which means you don't get to use it that often. I'd rather my abilities be weaker in terms of impact, but I get to press them more often. Its the same value, but it's just generated differently. It would be like 2+2+2+2+2 = 10 instead of 5+5. More single target attacks would be appreciated too. I'm not asking for a lot more, just a few more "core" attacks that may or may not be oGCD. The amount of tools AST has, for example, to heal is incredibly dense. Numerous oGCDs, mitigations and delayed heals like Earthly Star and Horoscope. Adding more healing tools just feels silly to me, since you'd be encroaching on design space that's already taken. I feel like finding time to use your attacks in dungeons and trials is a big part in healer skill expression, as it can be risky, particularly in big pulls, where a single greedy GCD is all it can take to drop your tank on the floor.

The mammoth is the funny way it is thanks to the powercreep over the years. It does its stun mechanics based on HP percentages, and as a result while one person is getting stunned, the others can bring it down enough that it instantly starts another stun attempt. I think it's supposed to be random target, but it does tend to chainstun people xD (Here's a myth for ya: The RNG in this game favours chains of outcomes)

@@Mephiidross Yes, diamondback is technically a channeled ability, so it's broken by moving or turning or using another action, just like all other channeled abilities. The difference is that diamondback also prevents you from doing those things most of the time. For example, if you slidecast diamondback, then the bubble will appear and then immediately be canceled because you are moving. I mentioned in another comment that I think what's happening is that when Byakko picks you up, the game doesn't actually change your position until just before he slams you down (so you being in his hand is more of an animation and not actually movement). Which explains diamondback remaining active when he picks you up, and being removed as he slams you down.

Things I learned, having played since the late HW days.... The Mammoth Rout is a stack. o.O I had always wondered WTF you were supposed to do if the healer just happened to be unlucky and got hit with everything. As a tank I would toss what mitigation I could at them. As the healer being hit, I would try to have shields up first. Never knowing it was a stack on the Rout before, it suddenly makes sense and doesn't feel as completely unfair as it did. XD

The removal of Diamondback by the slam makes sense because your physical location changes when the effect resolves, and the effect of Diamondback is supposed to root you in place, sorta like AST's Bubble. Its been a while since I last played BLU, but I remember there being an issue where if you try slidecasting Diamondback, it breaks. Try Testing if AST's bubble breaks to state of shock and we'll have an answer.

WoW has a similar mechanic on a boss and yes it very bullshit when it target the healer twice. This 95% of the time kills the healer and the fight wipes because you need the healer to heal against the constant "raid wide" damage. Also the boss auto attack is a tank buster. Tank won't be living for long without a healer.

I think this is the answer, I am like 90% sure you're correct.

@@CaetsuChaijiCh If I had to guess, I imagine that despite the animation and camera suggesting otherwise, that when Byakko picks you up, your character's position is still considered the same place on the ground, until he slams you down. This would explain diamondback staying active while picked up (because you're not moving), and why it gets removed on the slam (you've now been moved, breaking the channel). This might be testable, if you can have someone be just barely in range of the person getting grabbed, and see if they stay in range or move out of range when picked up. Though I'm not sure what action has a short enough range to test this, that can be used on another player. Maybe a cover tether? But even then there's the randomness of which way Byakko decides to turn after picking you up.
