@tanietv6965 correct! The cohealer in this vod absolutely compensated for my lack of healing and this video has no business being used as a reference guide LOL. However I have had a couple runs where my cohealer and I both got 90+ with a similar heal plan. biggest difference is that I was actually willing to use about 2-5 more gcds during uptime and still get a decent parse. One thing that's a good opti is to blow all your toxicons during 2 targets in LL and BJCC as its a big gain. LL can be done with about 2-3 gcd shields usually notably during proteans while still getting a good parse BJCc doesn't have a lot of raidwide damage but the tank autos hit like a mfer. Something I would change is to prioritize using kerachole over druochole for tank autos as it just provides more value over a single target druochole. (Basically safe to use kera off cooldown), will save you a potential gcd shield on a tank. Megaholy has to be shielded, and jwaves typically don't need shields till the last 8-11 hits. The last phase is free. The most important thing is to keep uptime and to keep your dot up on two targets. Also, ask your party to use their mit more consistently so you know where to press stuff. It's never about asking your cohealer to heal more but about coordinating with the party so you can free up resources together. If you notice people not pressing mit, call them out! Reprisal not being used or dps mit being out of place will hurt you far more than anything else. Hope this helps!

@@Juahos lmao thank you so much

@SHCTeva thank you! I unfortunately don't use this UI setup anymore but it's called DelvUI(?). It's highly customizable and the fonts and such can be changed. I can't remember the exact fonts anymore but I believe by default there are like 5 options with more that can be added in the settings menu. I'm also using MaterialUI for the hotbars & party list. Pairs super well together

its a necessity to great gameplay :3

Heya! Im pretty sure I just used ilvl 600 synced gear at the time. Tbh I did greed pretty heavily during this run, be sure to use toxicon on 2 targets as its a big gain (irrc its a loss on single target too?) Honestly just focus on keeping uptime and coordinating with your healer (ik its hard in pf but do your best to ask where theyre using stuff lol)

Thank you for getting back to me!! Would you say shadowless gear and a mix match of current gear would still be relevant for near BIS? I am Running mandervilles set to spell speed / crit / det. Just trying to optimize.

@@Chevalier541 Yeah 100%, 475/470 gear with Dhit is the way to go with a mix of current gear. Use spell speed to comfort (I prefer a slightly faster speed for this fight 2.45/6 is good but its entirely up to you)

You’re the best thank you! I got the pieces now just gotta get in there. Woot

Just an update this video has helped with some of my mit placements and where I can add some extra DPS. Thank you so much for uploading. It’s so nice to see POVs

Can use Redirect and check off the box in the options menu "Place grounded targeted action on cursor" or something. Can also use /ac "Earthly Star" gtoff. For the same effect

Tells me if i hit my positionals or not. Super handy for melee

​@@Juahoswhat setting is that under???

mouse over macros! Its wonderful! Create a macro with /ac "Play I" <mo> to do it. Applies to any healing skill as well so /ac "Essential Dignity" <mo>

@@Juahos ohhhh thank you, when i level my astro ill definetely use this

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

@@Juahos ty ty

Ty! I really appreciate it :3 means a lot to me. To answer your Q I use acerola fx. Just the low preset. Not much dif between the high and low. Low impact on performance too!

Oh tysm, i'll really try this before DT, keep doing your Good work!

@@itsjoshuaz tyty!!! <3

It is the dell sw3422dwg ultrawide, super good, absolutely love it and cant live without it anymore

Hi trying to remember what it was called, its Aerola FX i believe, can search it on google. In this video im using the highest preset but you can use the lowest one too, the difference is very minimal, ill have to double check to make sure i got the name right but it should be correct !

@@Juahos Thanks a bunch! ill look it up! Ignore my other comment, I couldnt remember if I commented or not so I did it again on another video lol

@GRA.97 haha no worries! And I lied, it's called Acerola FX, just checked it on the reddit just now, enjoy!

Forgot to mention I added a sharpness filter on it as well. Specifically the AMD fidelity sharpenr, if you don't have an amd card you can just use the sharpness preset that comes with it and crank it up a bit

@@Juahos again thank you!

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. <3

@@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.

@@Rika731 <3 that synastry strat is actually smart as hell lol. The amount of times I couldn't reach the wall tank, I might have to implement this in a dire need now so ty! xD

Tyty!!!

It's dps neutral at lvl 80. However toxicon is a big gain on 2 targets so I recommend burning all your stacks by the end of the phase

Sage doesn't particularly need a lot of macros. Though before I switched to keyboard mouse I found myself using a kardia swap macro a lot. /ac Kardia <2> And /ac Kardia <3> Use this macros to swap kardia between the MT and OT, like normally in TEA I would keep kardia on OT for BJCC. Or in UWU I would swap it back and forth religiously

Ya! It's material UI. Changes it to a dark/glowy theme. I don't normally use it but wanted to change it up since I was editing my cast/health bars so I thought it looked good with it :)

Lmfao I understand that all too well

Good question, in the video I used it during raidbuffs mainly out of habit, but holding at least one would be more ideal given the situation. I'm honestly not entirely sure if holding both for hand would cause you to inevitably lose a usage over the course of the fight. You'll have to do the math on that depending on your KT. Looking back I would probably opt to get at least 1 phlegma on hand and LL, and even delay my pot so I can double dot. You can look at some of the top logs out there and see what they do. I don't remember the sage opti for tea anymore lol

@@Juahos thanks! Appreciate the reply! I’m a ways from actually logging a high number but the more optimization I can do in the early phases the better so I can commit them to muscle memory.

@@Xion-Rotti heck yeah! You got this!

Haha thank you! I do my best! The twister movement is just through practice and some trial and error/what im comfy with. Ive done this fight a lot up to this point so i've gotten a pretty good grasp on the timings :)

Not really, for the most part you can just use unsynced gear but if you go on the balance website you can find some quote and quote 'Bis" Its more of a skillspeed to comfort and use as much crit as possible kinda thing

With level 90 gear, all you need is Det/Crit gear (doesn't matter if Det>Crit or Crit>Det; syncing down to level 70 gives the same stats either way). Can grab some Crit/Ten gear if you want some Tenacity for less damage but more passive mitigation. DPS and GNBs may want some SkS gear to hit your desired GCD tier. If you really, _really_ want to optimize (not entirely necessary), you can respec your ShB relic weapon to have 127 in Crit/Det/Ten/DH/Pie (91/36 for PLD sword/shield) and the remainder in SkS/SpS. Again, DPS and GNBs may want to have more in SkS to hit your desired GCD. ShB relic is more "optimal" than EW relic when syncing down since you have full control of the substats, rather than picking two primary stats and one tertiary (again, though, EW relic should serve you just fine to clear).

I believe it's SimpleTweaks, it's under one of the settings in it. I believe it's "Cast bar Adjustments", really handy and is a nice QoL addition I find :)

@@Juahos thank you so much! it'll be really handy! :)

Thank you got it :) , could I ask you aswell what's the one that displays ur DoT bigger than the others?@@Juahos

@joni4577 oooo good question, I believe it's called Bigger Debuffs????? It mighttt be under simple tweaks too, I'm not 100% sure, next time I log in I will double check if I remember!

thank you so much! <3@@Juahos

Hi! It's an acceleration bomb, basically if you're moving when it's finished counting it'll blow up and do damage

Kinda a combo of both tbh. You can follow 1 person for a couple mechs like the safe zone for the star cross thing, but you still need to be able to think for yourself since there are some spread mechanics

Tyty <33

Heck yeah best of luck! Also don't be afraid to throw out more shields than I did here, this really was barebones minimal that I did and is not encouraged in pf 🤣

haha i usually get like 90+ healing parses and 0-5 dps parses on any raid. I am not a parser lol@@Juahos

You can do it! I didn't have a static for this fight either. It's actually pretty party finder friendly all things considered, except for BJCC phase lol

@@Juahos WTH… my goat.. I will try xd

I believe its the O12s armor dyed dark blue?

I believe it's under Simple Tweaks? I don't remember tbh

No sorry I was just free styling at the time and didn't go back in as Sam since then lol

LOL

Whheeeewww is right! Lol

I believe it's made by Lynn Cherie. I think you have to donate to get the link irrc, but its totally worth it imo, there are a bunch of other hairstyles that comes with it as well
