FFXIV - The Epic of Alexander Ultimate (TEA) Sage POV (90 Parse)

[@martinrose9794]

thanks for the video. I am using it to prog TEA right now. About to see Alexander Prime this weekend hopefully in PF.

[@Juahos]

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 🤣

[@martinrose9794]

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

[@LoIazors]

This is the wildest fight ive seen, amazing :D

[@Juahos]

Haha thanks, it's a pretty crazy fight now that I'm rewatching it haha xD

[@tanietv6965]

question, because you got a 90 parse and did lots of dmg, did your astro compensate for heals? im just curious cause i wanna mimic this but am i asking my whm to heal more for me then or should the whm be able to dps and get a 90 as well? thank you!

[@Juahos]

@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

[@Xion-Rotti]

Just cleared as sge and gonna be reclearing to clean things up. In LL is it better to use phlegma as soon as raid buffs come out? I’ve been holding until hand spawns and using there.

[@Juahos]

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

[@Xion-Rotti]

@@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.

[@Juahos]

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

[@Chevalier541]

Sorry to comment this but what is your gearset.. my DPS isn’t anywhere near as high as yours and I’m struggling to get a good idea on 475/470 gear I should be using.

[@Juahos]

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)

[@Chevalier541]

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.

[@Juahos]

@@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)

[@Chevalier541]

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

[@Chevalier541]

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

[@keshxiv]

proging the fight rn is it really a dps gain to aoe in LL?

[@Juahos]

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

[@HirikoShuhei]

Is sage easier to play on controller compared to the other healers? I play on PS4 and I wanna play healer but targeting in this game is fucky XD

[@Juahos]

Heya! Imo it's the second easiest healer next to WHM. And yeah targeting is funky on controller, I recommend setting up a macro for a couple skills like taurochole to heal tanks, at least to start:D

[@HirikoShuhei]

@@Juahos alrighty, thanks for the tip!

[@tanietv6965]

@@Juahos oh that is good advice, how do you macro for tanks? like set it up when you click it it auto goes to say ot or mt?

[@Juahos]

@tanietv6965 you can use /ac "Druochole" To heal the tank that has current aggro. If you want to heal an ot or Mt specifically you make seperate macros like this /ac "Druochole" represents the MT in the party list Or /ac "Druochole" usually represents the OT in the default party list. Might have to flip this around depending on how your party list is setup

[@miyabs-g1b]

Can you recommend a good macro for sage? :3

[@Juahos]

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 And /ac Kardia 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

[@StardustMirage000]

Is this a static group? Because the pure healer actually put GCD regens on both tanks during BJ/CC. Party finder pure healers play like they have an extra chromosome and barely heal during BJ/CC.

[@Juahos]

Lol it was pf, got super lucky with my cohealer, I literally don't have enough stacks to heal both the tanks and mitigate bjcc as sage so i was able to greed a little harder this run

[@Arararaka]

THATS WHAT IM SAYING LOL ive been having such a hard time with pf healers cause they focus on healing one person while healing both tanks cause they drop to 20% hp on hard hitting parts during bjcc
