I call it “Get in” “Get out” and “Cone”

[@rubygraves978]

Way easier ❤

[@koxsuper5]

@@rubygraves978 literally everyone does this lol. no one calls them what he's calling them.

[@XiaosaGaming]

I had plenty of groups call it chariot and dynamo etc. Typically I have been in groups that been around since realm reborn. ​@@koxsuper5

[@ugxsan]

@@koxsuper5Definitely not true, though some of these are more dated names. I usually hear “point blank AoE” and “donut” more often than “chariot” and “dynamo” I definitely hear “protean” more than “cone” because there’s a bunch of different types of cones many of which are not proteans. The additional point if protean is that they are typically baited on multiple characters and go off all at once, which is why we tend to use clock spots for those.

[@blborges]

just call it "in" and "out" xd

[@Raven3557]

old players say chariot and dynamo, now we say in/out or puddle/donut

[@KazumiKiguma]

No, outside of that one fight, most of us never called them chariot or dynamo, just aoe/"get out" or donut

[@jonno.alexander]

Yeah, I can't type "dynamo" that fast in chat, so "out" is is quick. Yes, I could have it present in a macro somewhere, but it'll take longer to find it!

[@sciguy98]

I've been playing since ARR early access, we never called them chariot and dynamo. It was get out/Circle and get in/donut

[@crowdemon_archives]

Donut, PBAOE, spread, stack, limit cut... Only in weirder cases we use specific to terms

[@Raven3557]

@@crowdemon_archives limit cut is one that survived for dice number mechanic it's funny

[@Pardoly]

The fact is, since the Coil of Bahamut is not a compulsory quest, not much new players are familiar with chariot and dynamo. And Spread/Dount is much easier to understand and remember in my opinion.

[@redgeoblaze3752]

I did it while I was still around level 50, and I never even noticed they were called Chariot or Dynamo.

[@rRekko]

@@redgeoblaze3752 same here. For me it was always "away" "under/close" and "spread" will always be easier, it's either "spread" or "to your clock"

[@joebennett8759]

@@rRekkowe all have that one mechanic we have one hundreds of times that always kills us 😂

[@Jorvalt]

These terms are generally only used in high end content, so it's fine if the average person won't know them. Referring to a specific mechanic means there's more clarity. For instance, "spread" is a very ambiguous term and it might not be clear as to what that means exactly. Group spreads out so you don't hit each other with AoE's, spread out to clock positions because it's a protean wave, or spread out from the boss itself? Just saying "chariot" instantly tells you exactly what the mechanic is as long as you know the term.

[@KazaarTV]

but spread isnt the same as chariot lol

[@PaperDoll1551]

1) Piss Pool, (2) Donut, (3) Cone, and (4) Do A Lap. :0

[@lukeyoung7846]

This is the only correct way of saying it

The real terms

[@MCG55SS]

truth....idk what this guy is talking about.

[@alvarr2823]

Take a lap boys

[@keo549]

Point blank Donut Shiva It depends, cone for some, clock for others (clock positions) or earthshakers for another different group. Depends, but protean is fairly rarely used for how often it's seen in all kinds of content

[@ugxsan]

Protean is a specific kind of baited cone. People don’t call it that unless it’s baited on multiple players all of which go off at the same time, usually resulting in the players using clock spots which usually not a mechanic, it’s a position. Definitely don’t here dynamo used much and basically never chariot but it’s still good to know in case you hear that in a guide some time.

[@cindyfang6289]

No need for the hate, these are still terms that will get tossed around in certain raiding circles. Isn’t it better to know an alternate name for a mechanic rather than to not know if at all? Dynamo/chariot are originally from the corresponding attacks from the ARR raids, Shiva is originally from the primal, etc - and some raiders have just stuck to these names to describe mechanics easily out of habit.

[@holmesholmes.8784]

Exactly, it’s not even that hard to remember. Nobody need to use them, but knowing them helps getting through communication easier, and if they’re interested in why it’s named as such then they can ask about it. A lot of them saying they never heard of it as if they’re the only person in the world, or just plainly disliking it because they don’t understand and fear that they had to memorize something so easily memorized and trivial

[@DOGHEIST]

nice try mr goody2shoes but this is very obviously framing them as the go-to terms. no one is hating. we are simply pointing out the fact that these aren't the common used terms and are outdated terminology.

[@KazumiKiguma]

It's better to know and use common terms as communication is key

[@melchiah19]

The thing is I don't even remember ever these terms ever being used and I've been playing since ARR (like 5 months after the game got rereleased)

[@Cherryblossoms110]

...what hate? You're right, but it's just people saying that they don't use these terms, that doesn't come off as hate to me.

[@dontneedtoknow8934]

Dynamo and Chariot are pretty unccomon imo, my static just says doughnut or out. everything else is pretty common though. Protean is fairly common but Shiva is sorta rare these days, dont recall once since titania imediatly.

[@livingreverie5951]

[@Ramonez02]

While older terms, yes, these were used a lot back in the day. Not as much anymore, but they arent non-existant like some comments are implying. Still applicable to bosses today though since SE likes to recycle mechanics but just call them something different. Limit Cut is a great example of this. Anything with 1-8 and dashes a lot of players just like to call "limit cut", even if thats not what the ability the boss is casting is called whatsoever. All these terms originate from older bosses, so you hear mostly older raiders say these things. Especially ones who do ultimates. At the end of the day, in/out, donut/dynamo, spread/protean, whatever. It all works. Just baffled me these comments were saying these terms never existed and arent used today at all when that is not true. I just cleared all the ultimates and these terms were used during UCOB and TEA.

[@Riyshn]

Using terminoligy that refers to the current fight/raid tier makes sense. Using terms that refer to a fight that's several years old when simpler callouts exist is dumb.

[@RealPendragon]

These are so outdated.

[@TVPInterpolation]

how are they now called? genuinely interested.

[@sukitsunewinters]

​@@TVPInterpolation It really depends on your raid group tbh, some people will use chariot, some just say out. Similarly for Dynamo I've heard Donut or In. Proteans are called clocks or spreads by some groups. Shivas are mostly called Shivas, maybe sometimes Mario Kart depending on if you can solve it by going in a circle, I also know a group that calls it Trines :')

[@bipedalanimeskull]

they aren't really. My raid team was using some of those terms during tier 2 of Pandaemonium and Shiva is still a term very well used by the whole community to refer to that pattern

[@chrism4403]

[@Riyshn]

​​@@elgatochurro Contagious debuff mechanic from T2. If it times out, you explode and wipe. You can pass it to another player by contact, which gives them the debuff at the original timer and removes it from you, while also giving you an immunity debuff with a timer such that you can not be part of the next 3-4 passes. There have been a few variation on it, but it's not a common one. The one c_h seems to be describing is Judgement Nisi from A4/A4S/TEA.

[@MissPoplarLeaf]

These terms are still used by older raiders, but for newer raiders I would just say "circle AOE around boss" and "donut AOE" for Chariot/Dynamo, and for Protean I would say "clock spots".

[@fluffyfang4213]

For other people, Point-blank, Donut, and Cone are all valid names. In, Out, Spread are callouts for how to resolve the mechanic.

[@bluekirara]

As a raider myself, i haven't heard any of these except maybe shiva? I tend to associate that move with titan ex. Limit cut, akh morn, or other moves named for their signature appearance, heard them. Maybe if you regularly do blind prog with strangers, these come up?

[@AmellsGrace]

[@Zanador]

Chariot/Dynamo is relatively common with oldheads who have been raiding since 2.0, but almost no one else uses it.

[@nekroz_of_super_dora3477]

I’d add that Proteans are typically targeted on everyone or at least over half the group (funnily enough, the origin of the term only targets 6 players). This distinguishes them from Earthshakers, which typically targets 1-3 players.

[@insentia8424]

Even by people that still use chariot and dynamo, you rarely hear it outside of cases where it could be either of the two picked at random/in a pattern. And proteans refers to cones without a marker, if there is a marker over the head, it's an earthshaker.

[@KazumiKiguma]

Outside of T9 itself, i have never heard someone call a standard AoE "chariot" or a donut "dynamo"

[@TechneMakre]

why are the ppl in the comments so pressed omg💀 I've heard and used both, done ultimates and week 2 savage. just bc you haven't been in vc with every raider to ever live doesn't mean ppl don't use these terms. we also got wild charge, enumeration, acceleration bomb, etc, the video is just trying to help u :c

[@holmesholmes.8784]

can you explain to me wild charge and enumeration?

[@ugxsan]

@@holmesholmes.8784Wild Charge is a baited Line AoE that requires other players to stand in front of the targeted player to soak damage so the targeted player doesn’t die. Enumeration is a stack that requires a specified number of players to resolve, as too many or too few will result in a wipe. This is different from a stack where the more players you can have in the stack without overlapping stacks, the better. It’s also different from a double or triple tank buster because once again, there’s no “too many” for those, it’s just painful enough to kill non-tanks.

[@holmesholmes.8784]

@@ugxsan which raid have the emuneration mechanic ?

[@ugxsan]

@@holmesholmes.8784 The first raid I'm aware of to use it (I started in 5.3 so very well may not be the first time we saw it) was E8S (Shiva) I do think there was something similar in Turn 8 of Coils that could be the original? I also know we saw it much more recently in Barbariccia EX

[@ugxsan]

@@holmesholmes.8784 A Google search informs me that Enumeration also appeared in A3S (Living Liquid aka Pepsiman) so it was probably called that in that fight.

[@Aki-Iji]

Seems like most of the comments are conflating protean with cone because of the shape. A cone aoe is just that, a cone aoe. A protean, however, is something that directly targets the player and cannot be avoided. These mechanics are similar in shape but distinctly different mechanics that oftentimes are used together, such as in Hades EX and Living Liquid TEA.

[@probablydeadoof19]

coming from lost ark where these would be “outside safe” “inside safe” “donut” “pizza” and probably spinny circles or something for the last one

[@roy491]

I truly do love how the language of FF14 has evolved. Because they were the attacks or bosses that introduced the mechanic, even something as simple as a circle radiating from the boss has a unique name that would confuse players as soon as a year into the game's release. And while that name has stuck around, mostly from veterans passing it down via word of mouth, it's mostly been replaced by the overwhelming majority of players who simply lack the context to understand the original name. Humans and language are simply fascinating.

[@JS-kr8fs]

I can say as a player who came in during Endwalker, that I developed my own parlance for these as: 'out', 'in', 'Shiva' without learning from someone else. There's clearly lots of folks who came to the same conclusion. These feel like the natural names. Of course, whatever the flip Protea is on about. I guess you might as well call it a narrow cleave marker, because it's like 1/4 or half the size of like a Sepirot or Diabolos Hollow cleave marker.

[@hetbypierrelouissinal5203]

Ok precision: Any group that raided since ARR or HW will 100% use those terminologies, tho some might say "In" for dynamo or "OUT" for chariot and "clock" for protean wave. Shiva stayed the same, though later players, Stormblood young'ins, will say "Fans" but really i usually see Shiva being written.

[@Juskaey]

Been raiding since ARR, have never used Chariot/Dynamo outside of T9 itself and Ruby Weapon EX. Our group uses Pancake (or Out)/Donut (or In). Protean will pop up sometimes among the boomers but we usually say Clock (or Spread). From the video I'd say only Shiva is widespread anymore and still commonly used.

[@Hanzo1]

I mean, I'm used to "circle" and "donut", they're pretty self-explanatory and are what you'll see in most boss guides. "Protean" is also usually referred to as "cone". Never heard a term for the "Shiva" pattern.

To all the people commenting that these aren’t necessary, I agree, they’re not. But I can also tell you if you plan to ever step into savage or ultimate you’re gonna be hearing them a lot, so it’s good to know for players who want to begin that content.

[@AutumnHaunted]

My friends and I (who mostly just do the Normal difficulty stuff) use "Cereal Strike" as a name for AOEs with a non-standard telegraph (usually the ones that only show you the orange danger zone for a split second right before it goes off). So named for a popular CAD comic edit, because they happen suddenly and feel like BS if you don't see them coming.

[@kyoai]

Using Chariot or Dynamo is bad because it adds an indirection towards resolving your thought : Upon hearing the term, you have to think which boss this is a reference to and what shape the attack had, precious milliseconds wasted. Meanwhile, Circle and Donut get straight to the point of naming the actual shape. As a counter example : When additional monsters spawn, do you say "Scurvy Dogs" in reference to the first dungeon boss you ever encounter that summons adds, so everyone should know the reference? No, you use a common term "add", as in "additional monster", without requiring a reference.

[@justinschuster666]

Chariot and Dynamo are not used, but Dynamo = Donut Proteans are used still though, but go also in hand with clock positions. Also to those who argue Protean = Earth shakers, no. That is wrong terminology. Earth Shakers have their OWN respective markers that are universal. Proteans are unmarked blasts that can be baited. Earth shakers can't be baited but have to be directed away from the party.

[@Kisakko]

what do you mean? we want them to get hit so we can play instead of spamming 1,2

[@seriousbacon3676]

Never used Shiva before, although if I heard someone say it id probably end up using it lol. Other than that, these are pretty fundamental in describing mechanics but i wouldnt use then as acrual calls (other than proteans). When doing calls you want it to be as short as possible and directed towards movement, so in my experience in/out is an overall smoother call. Using Nael as an example, "She'll say a voice line and do either a dynamo or chariot" but come that point in the pull, I'll just call "in/out". Either way, learning new terminology is always helpful.

[@titusfortunus2916]

"AoE" "Donut" "Protean(this one we use)" and "Mario Kart/Gaols/Puddles"

[@lije2966]

Oh right, to explain Bane, if Sothe would NOT kill when Bane procs (ignore DR for now), he instead deals 99% of the opponents hp as damage every time it procs, ignoring DR. If he would kill, then it just ups damage by being a slightly worse Luna. So in the trailer when he fought Fedel, he deals exactly 44 ho damage each time he hits, cause he wouldn't one tap her when Bane procced (somehow, don't ask me how a cureent gen unit misses that) This means Bane is slightly terrifying, cause as long as Sothe fails to kill, he can just bring you down to 1 HP for basically free, excluding Scowl. Y'all have fun with that, I'm going hide in a corner

[@MissLilianae]

I've also seen Shiva Circles refer to the reverse: Where circles appear around the edge and spiral into the middle. IIRC Titania has this variation.

[@Zadamanim]

I often hear proteans called earthshakers, too. There's a lot of terminology like cards, intercards, and clock spots which new raiders always gotta learn. Cards means cardinal directions (N, S, E, and W) and intercards is intercardinal directions (NE, SE, NW, and SW). When a raid leader yells cards, they don't mean yugioh lol. Clock spots means both cards AND intercards, for a total of 8 positions. There's also healer stacks which is when the party separates into 2 light parties, and role stacks which is 3 groups based on tank, healers, dps. Sometimes its support/dps stacks, which is 2 tanks 2 healers in one group and 4 dps in another group.

[@juniper2788]

I get everyone complaining about old words, but like... These are still castbars. If you don't know what a boss is casting, and it uses some of these words, you can know what they are and this video also gives you a history lesson! Come on guys lmao. (Also proteans and cones can be slightly different terms in raiding. Bc proteans are specific small cones from the boss solved with clock positions. Compare nado cones from P3S, which are not proteans.)

[@Riyshn]

There's a difference between using the term the game is putting right in front of you in the current fight, or even the same raid tier, vs using terms from fights multiple years old when descriptive generalized callouts are avalible. Especially for ones like Protean and Limit Break, because almost _nothing_ people have used those callout for since the origional fights actually work like they did.

I have also learn about how many people are so pressed that there are terms older and that they couldn’t comprehend why it was used, that it was too complicate for them to understand

[@MarkOfTheDragon]

Played FFXIV since the original 1.0, on and off. Haven't heard any of these used in yeaaaaaaars

[@Redfield253]

1) fuck 2) shit 3) ouch 4) AAAAAAH!

[@raventhorX]

The only one ive ever heard get used on this list is dynamo but never in audio format.

[@Oriandu]

I've been playing FFXIV for six years and I've never once seen these tryhard terms used at any level of play.

[@ceilingliquid7925]

bro has never touched a high end raid in his life

[@Jaisilv]

I honestly have no idea why dynamo and chariot is even a thing, because I hardly ever hear people use it unironically, and I've been raiding since 2.0. Who even popularised it...

[@lutzmmobil]

I have never heard of shiva being called shiva but nice

[@Velgroth]

Never heard chariot or dynamo in the 10 years I’ve been playing. It’s usually aoe on boss or donut.

[@darkdevilx5073]

I’m very confused by this comment section, me, my static and other pepole I play with use those all the time, I’ve been playing and raiding since patch 2.2, am I getting too old? 😢

[@CivilChev]

I wish we could have a full top down view like the Shiva one. That was clean! Let me have a fixed Top down view on the center!

[@Litepastistime]

I think if I ever try to use chariot and dynamo it'd be sooo confusing for everyone, maybe it's only a thing for old raiders?

[@danielgibson3544]

I've never heard any of these terms and I've been playing since the beginning

[@Vissy147]

Crafter main confirmed

[@chatika2440]

the first ones in PF i usually see as 'Puddle' and 'Donut', as well. Chariot/Dynamo is really falling out of favor, and i genuinely never saw anyone use Protean. BUT i don't prog fights with it so much, either, since the new fad in this goddamn game is limit cuts.

[@Spiderqueen69]

Only time I ever seen chariot was in ucob during quotes

[@akkiko]

Everyone in the comments saying "THIS IS DUMB JUST SAY THIS" as though all callouts aren't valid if they work for you. Say Dynamo or Donut. If your group understands, what does it matter? Quit invalidating other peoples' callouts just because you haven't yet been in a group that used them. My group started Coil. I hear Dynamo/Chariot like 50 times a week.

[@AzureRoxe]

"if the group understands" AKA pretty much no one. Go tell people to beware for Dynamos and Chariots and let's see what happens. No need to lie so blatantly and swear you hear it 50 times a week.

[@ArceusShaymin]

@@AzureRoxe Just because you can't understand "My group started Coil" means "My raid group uses them often because we understand them as these mechanics" doesn't make them lying.
