did you read the comments during the issue with empyrean ? hundreds of comments with hundreds of upvotes that were all absurdly toxic

we dont know nocturnal sect is going away, it could do something completely different and still be in the game :). just its current functionality is

vaal discipline

2-3, that eventually get added to other pools. msq thsoe two "dungeons" are different than literally every other dungeon in the game by a large margin. they are closer to trials than dungeons, you cant really argue this

do exsanguinate builds run +2 curse?

who new sending death threats over a video game would result in this

not in a dungeon setting to keep a tank alive during a pull. its nice auxiliary boost that is felt in raiding, especially week 1 and speeds, but cant really do much during a large dungeon pull

pld rdm and war can do dungeons without healers though. the meta for speedrunning dungeons is 0 healers

it heals for practically nothing, it scales off of mind as opposed to the heals of the others in the picture. it effectively doesnt heal

multiple curses, especially those that dont synergize, often bring the value of an item down

smns cant heal

they have their own roulette :)

75 if you exclude the 2 8 man "dungeons" ie praetorium and castrum

there are 75, list is here

yes. not all fights no, and i do a bit of an explanation primer before the pull starts.

ive taken groups with 2-3 new players and 1 shot savage floors, dont underestimate good shotcalls

they also trivialize all content, make the people in the party immortal and give 5-10x more damage.

there is a stark difference between holding someones hand through a fight and sitting back and only giving advice when asked and such. I can shot call practically anyone through a lot of raid fights, i've done it for a lot of groups. sitting there and learning the fight vs just getting pulled through it without understanding what happened are very different

cheating ? no. having a significantly easier time learning it? yes

gnb and drk are about as common, both more so than war and pld

sure, but having a set order where you use procs first will generally be as good or better as the other method. not getting into using SD to pad for flourish or anything, just a general gcd order

the reason i simplified it down to 1>3>2>4 being better is to not overwhelm. but the only instance that not using the proc immediately is better is for buffs that don't line up with flourish to begin with IE 90s jobs. saberdance is used to delay using cascade/fountain yes, but if you have RC already, using saber will just delay it further. you want to get to the gcd flourish is off CD with 0 procs to avoid delays.

no this is incorrect. using reverse cascade doesnt break combo, and you dont want to have 2 procs at once because of flourish.

you dont want to hold flourish generally. you can use

1>3>flourish>4>2

​

0 drift and you get all your procs

if you did 1>2>3>4>flourish, you are drifting by 1-2 gcds for literally no reason.

it kinda matters, you dont want to have 2 procs at once generally because it can cause you to drop a proc during flourish
