Dev Tracker - News, Discussions

Several of them do, or at the very least put them on par with other current viable tactics, so nothing makes smn actively terrible at any of it.

Only exclusions are certain htbf and certain months ambuscade.

Dont know why you even listed 75/99 content, its disingenuous to your argument.

-You need to have (an) active attentive healer(s)...This means every member of the party needs to be present, attentive, and making minimal errors for 3-30 minutes depending on the mob and your group.

Just as a point of refernce. Ive seen non nirvana smns bandwagon. While they are useful where adding a marginal player is cost less (filling slots in 18 man parties, omen alliance) the gulf in power between a smn with ok gear and a smn with 500-600 mil to 1 billion gil invested plus months and years of playing the job is noticeable.

Some of the discussion seems to equate +1 geared vana smn as the standard. Far from it. And id really want to see an argument where players who spent the time to get the mythic and grinding other content for gear and specialized equip sets must be nerfed to br below other dps jobs.

Note that im keeping ac burn as a separate issue because it is.

You realize that to even be considered for end game DDs must have a REMA already. Nirvana as a requirement is a joke. Just shows how broke AC is, non REMA bandwagon walmart SMNs destroying blinged billion geared DDs.

I find this flawed since you multi-box all, most, as low as a third of your linkshell.

In your case, every strategy might be as simple as:
1) Load appropriate luas
2) Pop mob
3) Alt+tab or check screen to ensure things are running correctly
4) Adjust as necessary
5) Collect loot

I'd like to think we can all agree that neither strategy is so brainless as any other. But, in the event that fingers are pointed, don't neglect to look in any mirrors.

This isn't true either. It has been a recent discussion that the T2 Reisen greatsword is actually better than Rag. There are many examples of the T2 drops (when properly augmented) doing better than some or all REMAs. So SMNs doing well with Grio isn't imbalanced...

Hi, there!

It's true that the accuracy seems to be low regarding the effect.
The dev. team will be looking into this!

Thanks for your feedback.

hinging your argument on personal attacks when you don't even know me is quite a stretch.

I 6boxed black and white using no automation besides autora. Not only that, it was the first non-JP win. Most of my first wins are primarily manual, because it's just plain impractical to automate every aspect a complicated fight where dozens of different things could go wrong. I have 2 2560x1440 monitors so every character(all 800x600) is visible and quickly accessible at all times, and probably have a better idea of the overall state of any fight at any time than any other player or multiboxer.

While it'd be lying to say I don't use automation tools, hinging your argument on personal attacks when you don't even know me is quite a stretch. I can say for sure that if I were using SMN, every fight would be as simple as hitting a single button on a single application though.

Setting all that aside, you just compared smn to a theoretically 100% botted fight. That certainly doesn't set the standard for 'fair and balanced'.

Neither is getting the invite where high end fights with established groups are concerned. There'll be a ukon/calad/masa user ready to step up.

Is Bigfoot Real? Emerging Scientific Evidence
Is Bigfoot real? A better question would be why has mainstream science failed to put the question to the test?

Science is duty bound by definition to explain the unexplained, yet in 2016 some people are still debating its existence rather than examining emerging scientific evidence. Some of this evidence has emerged from unexpected places.

One of these places is Mount St. Helens in Washington State, U.S.A, where in 2013 and 2014 I along with one of my former college students located three different ungulate rib prey bone assemblages (elk and deer rib bones) that had seemingly inexplicable chewing marks left in them.

We conducted a two year Zooarcheological field research project, which culminated March 26, 2016 at the 69th Annual Anthropological Research Conference, where I presented our conclusions to a room full of respected academic and governmental anthropologists and archeologists.

Tooth and Bite Marks

I presented data in the form of incisor, molar and pre-molar dental signature evidence that we were able to very carefully link with current scientific literature describing historical and contemporary hominin chewing evidence. This published, peer reviewed literature described a diagnostic framework for accurately separating and identifying hominin mastication evidence recovered from both pre-archaic sites and comparative contemporary chewing studies upon ungulate rib bones.

Furthermore, we proposed the evaluation of a new category of incisal dentition signature termed a Notch, which consolidated the applicable literature and accurately described some of our field research evidence.

The conference gave us a chance to demonstrate the links between the teeth mark evidence that we recovered in the field with current peer reviewed scientific research covering the same subject. This current research provided a framework by which we could compare our tooth mark descriptions. It also helps provide a very effective tool that enables scientists to re-examine other suspected human chewing evidence upon bones.

All three locations contained the same evidence profiles of ungulate (deer and elk) rib evidence with clear and measurable evidence of hominin mastication activity. The dentition of other known local ecosystem specific predators and scavengers was compared against Homo sapiens dentition. Of the 25 total hominin incisor measurements taken from all three sites, 92% are outside the average lateral incisors size range for modern Homo sapiens . In this same sample 80% are outside the average measurement for central incisor. From this evidence, Upper Inter-Canine measurements can be accurately estimated. All of the comparative analysis demonstrated hominin dentition physio-morphology of at least two times the size of modern humans.

The evidence was clear and consistent across all three locations. The teeth marks and jaw shapes of bear, cougar, humans, porcupine, and wolverine along with every other potential species that might have been responsible was examined and eliminated or included. After identifying the teeth marks as “Hominin” we measured the geometry of the individual marks and were able to determine that they were primarily outside the upper size range for current humans. From these measurements we were able to estimate mouth size, which again was over double the size of a modern human.
Rib Peeling

The Pre-Molar and Molar dentition signature evidence analysis is perhaps the strongest indication of hominin mastication evidence that emerged from the field research. The current peer reviewed scientific literature describes Rib Peeling as a clear hominin assigned bone surface modification diagnostic characteristic. The physical act of rib peeling entails putting a rib in a hominins mouth and using their hands as levers to move the rib in cooperation with using their pre-molars and molars to masticate the ends. This specific force application procedure has been evaluated over several peer reviewed studies both pre-archaic and contemporary as clearly diagnostic of hominin mastication activity. This process creates specific secondary dentition signatures in consistent hemispherical regions of masticated ungulate rib specimens. The pre-molar impressions were triangular in shape while the molar evidence is characterized by double arch shapes. The evidence recovered from all three sites demonstrated clear and consistent rib peeling evidence.

The physical act or process of Rib Peeling is very simple. It consists of using your hands to put a rib in your mouth and using those same hands to move the end of the rib around as you chew on the opposite end. This creates very specific damage and tooth marks in predictable locations on a rib. It also creates secondary tooth marks in expected locations. This predictable combination of damage and individual teeth mark impression evidence is clearly supported in current scientific research and is an accurate tool that enables the separation of hominin verses predator chewing evidence in bones.

What I thought was funny was them thinking that needing a Mythic for SMN makes it ultra hardcore. Like ... *** please every DD in the game knows you need to get a legendary weapon just to be invited to VD Ambuscade or T2+ Reisen ***. Need REMA and some of the best DD gear in the game to get invites to ~some~ of the T4's, well the invites that used to happen, now everything is just SMN onry.

You can see it on any server, just watch the T2+ shouts and everything is "need SMN". No bother geared or playing any other DD job, SMN is all you need for everything. Which is why everyone knows it's broken.

It isn't happening on Fenrir. Trying to bolster your position with lies doesn't bolster your position... We don't all agree it is broken. And maybe you aren't being invited for other reasons...

Would say 99% of the talk is about Coduit. Considering it avoids all the fight mechanics designed by the developers. Very surprised there is actual push back from people that it doesn't warrant a nerf(just to conduit burns).

Even the HQ gear for Summoner is cheaper than most other jobs to fully gear it. Don't understand that argument either.
