Guys, you can't ignore this preposition in M12 P2 and try to pre-dodge the cleaves. You will kill other pairs if you weren't close to a clone that happened to be dark. Use the tiles as guidance on where to stand. Had to tell two WHMs back to back last night not to stand on me. #ffxiv

All jobs are viable in Savage at this point. You shouldn't be locking out anything. Bad player does not a bad job make. SMNs and RPRs were clearing week 1. It's not a job issue. #ffxiv

But actually, fuck this fight. After being hardstuck on enrage for 6 straight days. We finally got a party that isn't gear reliant for damage. #ffxiv

Lian @lianxiv.bsky.social · 13/01/2026

Got hardwalled in M11S Enrage for 5 days straight going at least 10 hours a day continually hopping to new groups. I'm going to be totally honest, the check isn't actually that tight. People don't know how to push their buttons and greed appropriately. This was entirely a skill issue in PF. #ffxiv

Lian @lianxiv.bsky.social · 10/01/2026

Stuck on M11 enrage for 2 days now. PFers need to know this fight has a tight enrage, you have to do the fight clean. Get good at Orbital. DNC needs to be fed inner-mid on Void Stardust spreads to actually hit the boss with Standard, otherwise play MCH/ BRD if the group isn't help you. #ffxiv

Possibly my most favourite glam I ever put together. 7.4 glam unlock was the best thing to happen to this game. Friends and I took a break last night but we're at the end of 11S now, hoping to clear today. #ffxiv

M11S: Caster should take R2. R1 is designated heavy movement for meteors.

M11S note. Ask tank to point boss NW, seems to be easier dodge. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KaUi... #ffxiv

M11S notes. First Addle: Voidstardust (When stack or spreads appear.) Second Addle: Tornadoes (Immortal Reign cast.) Targeted mits work on Tornadoes, it's a boss cast. #ffxiv

Lian @lianxiv.bsky.social · 08/01/2026

Don't lock PF groups to DNC. BRD was hotfixed for 10S, and MCH is insanely strong in PF. The downtime in 10 is perfect for MCH rotation & brings mit for parties that don't understand you can mitigate more than raidwide damage. I'm smoking melees in damage, either top or 2nd. #ffxiv

Lian @lianxiv.bsky.social · 08/01/2026

M10S: Deep Aerial is not a tankbuster tower. Recommend putting highest pumper melee & caster in it. Hold 2 min to put all damage into bosses. #ffxiv

010

Lian @lianxiv.bsky.social · 08/01/2026

M10S: The toxic friends raid plan doesn't explain Double alley-oop very well. If you're water group, look at Deep Blue during Sickest Take-off. If spreads, use eyes and stay out of mid. If stack, run it to the whole group. You're not punished for putting it on fire players. #ffxiv

My alt. A lot of players keep telling me they unlocked savage but won't run it. His name is actually a protest about the Devs not unlocking Savage long after it's overdue, especially when they won't drop other content in a patch. #ffxiv

New section about Macrocosmos and 1HP mechanics added. TL;DR: You can always use it on 1HP. But which component of it is healing determines whether it should be used somewhere else. #ffxiv docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Something I've gotten into lately is direct mentorship with green raiders to bridge the gap from casual -> hardcore. In light of that, I started working on a healer guide that touches on technical areas the Balance skips over because I find them more focused on DPS optimization for healers.

Another C41, we're becoming an UWU clear factory for new raiders. Stole the SS from someone else, had to run it on a shitty laptop and died to Ifrit in primal roulette because the W key didn't register. :') #ffxiv

Had a rando WHM (RDM) try to bully my WHM traineee friend (White), whom I'm helping learn to raid. Whole party didn't take it. Red WHM was upset that that White WHM wasn't "healing." I know this is cap because I didn't raise no glare mage. Log digging shows Red is upset bc White isn't Medica III'ing

Insane DMs from my friend leaving a reclear group with me after they demanded consistency and accepting mistakes but the healers, particularly the WHM, could not. I died twice to autos in P7 and the MT died to P6 autos after WB2. No healing going out = WHM not watching party bars.

Just left Llamatodd's FC because he's getting into alt-right politics on twitter. And with that, I think I'm permanently done with FCs and just going to go make my own solo one.
