god i love it when people do my homework for me

[@varrickgrimm2026]

Always appreciate the well inspected sheet music Boosh, doin gods work

[@Addych]

I've been waiting for your updated video, thank you so much.

[@thomasnguyen4427]

yay, glad I caught this! finding small creators such as your royal flanness was like finding brilliant opals on the beach of Tural. I've already had plenty enough of the more over-hyped CC's while I was in my SHB -> EW hype phase, and I appreciate these channels able to go in directions they want rather than the established "vibes" said, bigger CC's had cultivated.

Not every video is gonna be this level of nerd, but many are.

I was a summoner main in shadowbringers, and a pretty high-performing one during Edens Verse Savage too. But after they killed the jobs complexity and depth I haven't found a job that's felt the same, to the point where I lost the desire to raid in Endwalker. Pictomancer is finally starting to scratch that itch again and your math videos have been amazing in getting me hyped about trying to really master a job and raid again. Thanks for the hours you've spent figuring this math out for us!

[@booshalmighty]

Today I was mostly powerleveling Picto to 90 so I can do MSQ with it and I have to say it feels even better to play than I had hoped. It might be my new favorite job.

[@rdusk1]

10:30 one thing from what i can see from media tour footage and current tooltips is that the subtractive buff that turns rgb into cym doesn’t have a time limit, so using it to just get a comet before a downtime phase should be valid! the important thing seems like not timing out on the combo, which you can manipulate with the longer and shorter casts, so filler should be very cool to optimize in ultimate and such great vid! I'm excited to try out picto

[@booshalmighty]

You're right, I think I internalized the combo buff as being linked to the subtractive buff, but I guess they are technically separate.

[@troubiemakie]

lol your video was the first one i thought of when i saw potencies were released

[@b1ngnx33]

THANK YOU!!!

[@agentnerd]

Why is his voice calming while explaining how to not be bad with picto 10/10

[@chrisanderson6353]

Hey! New to your channel. I'm wondering, by chance, can you do this same exact calculation for Dawntrail BLM?

[@Addych]

Do you plan on doing a gameplay rotation video? I'd love to see you explaining the rotation while showing the actual rotation, and what to use when the fight doesnt let us do the perfect dummy rotation.

[@booshalmighty]

The plan is to eventually do a proper job guide video, but I'm still going through MSQ at the moment.

[@owl.a987]

It's hard for me to understand rotations when it's written down. Will wait for the video guide till then but appreciate the time and effort that goes into these!

[@booshalmighty]

@@owl.a987 Will probably make a proper guide in the somewhat near future. I have finished MSQ and am going to blind prog the extremes on Picto, so once I feel confident enough on the job to feel I can identify potential pitfalls and how to play it well, then I'll make the guide.

[@Nodnarb59]

I have no idea whats going on, im just trying to figure out the rotation and when to cast the motifs after using them

[@starstreamheartlocke652]

Basically, any time you can afford still and there are no party buffs active.

[@iPlayOnSpica]

Especially during openers where your first living muse is a pom, wouldn't you want to spend a 4s gcd inside burst window to get wing + mog for 2400 potency? Or is the hammer combo just so strong this isn't worth doing, and you only shoot for a Mog/Madeen in non-opener bursts?

[@booshalmighty]

I believe the opener has you casting the motif before raid buffs to get the wing + moogle in buffs.

[@iPlayOnSpica]

@@booshalmighty I found that out later, but thank you!

[@lemontonk]

8:55 so I’m confused. What is he saying to use then at 3 or less targets, not the basic rotation?

[@yourfaceisabook]

ok, just wondering, but in a scenario where the boss is leaving, why not just swift out rainbow drip? in a vacuum, wouldnt this be the optimal ender?

[@booshalmighty]

Yes, but it is irrelevant to the point being made and the math accompanying it. I could have added another column to the end of each hypothetical ending timeline to include it, but it's clutter on the main point of holy as filler and rgb cringe.

[@owendawg1]

So glad Holy is as interesting as it is.

[@vineveer4358]

Holy in White is Scathe II.

[@MistyxNight]

couldve saved alot of time just pressing sum buttons and not going so deep into it. lol
