ESO: PUG Planesbreaker - 299,254 - Warden Healer (Rockgrove Trifecta) (8 New PBs!)Nuolong2024-10-28 | Unexpected PUG PB for the Little Village server's anniversary with 8 new PBs! Cool that I got to heal it! I wasn't used to my sustain at all, so my ult gen was not great, but whatever, just cared about getting it done!
05:15 - *Company of Stone* (Occult Knight) - For the rotations, look for the corner with both statues rotating away - Easier to use arm's length/surecast for the knockback in my opinion
10:08 - *Crawling Death* (Death Claw)
15:03 - *Cursed Concern* (Trade Tortoise)
19:50 - *Eternal Watch* (Repaired Lion) - There is an illusion that the aoes slow to a stop, but once the timers hit 0, they actually stop pretty abruptly. Knowing that makes it a little easier to dodge them - You can view circle aoes as one in and two out
24:37 - *Flame of Dusk* (Hinkypunk) - I like to position at the first statue to telegraph so that I can watch more easily where its orb travels to for the first execution
29:10 - *From Times Bygone* (Mythic Idol) - Some combinations make timing really tight/unfair to dodge
34:13 - *Noise Complaint* (Neo Garula) - For the rush-heave combo, run next to the bird so you can easily dodge the heave afterward
38:57 - *On the Hunt* (Lion Rampant) - For proximity markers, two potential safe spots, check which spot has a tethered light orb to know that it is safe there
44:01 - *Scourge of the Mind* (Mysterious Mindflayer) - From my experience there is always a safe spot in between the two center-ish vines facing toward the center - For the mind blast, follow the debuff you have to watch where the adds will fly to so that you can walk to the opposite side of the arena
50:05 - *Shark Attack* (Nymian Petalodus)
54:57 - *The Black Regiment* (Black Star)
1:00:04 - *The Unbridled* (Crescent Berserker) - Always biggest - middle - small aoe - Helps to look at the way his non-weapon hand is facing to know the safe side, since I find it hard to see the hitbox circle with so many players
1:05:04 - *Trial by Claw* (Crystal Dragon) - 1/2/3 crystals are never repeated, so if 1 is middle circle, 2 is closest circle, then you know 3 will be the furthest.
1:10:22 - *With Extreme Prejudice* (Command Urn)FFXIV: My First M8S Clear - Reaper POVNuolong2025-05-04 | Finally cleared! Would have probably cleared a week earlier, but I got sick and didn't touch the game last week (didn't even do M5-M7 reclears). Joined an enrage party that turned into a C41 (with me as a secret 2nd lol). Phase 1 of this fight is soooo fun, Phase 2 is not as amazing but I still like it.
Also just realized my food ran out in P2 and I used my raid buff at the wrong time for one of the 2 min, I should have waited for the LP stacks so that I could reach everyone. I'm pretty sure I missed a couple of party members by popping it at the moment I did. But first clears must always be cursed in some way!!
I was M2 and we were doing Fering Millenial, Clock Terre, Quad Moonlight, Rinon UV4. Basically this pastebin w/ Toxic Friends: pastebin.com/xT2gAw2R
00:00 - Start 07:20 - Phase 2FFXIV: My First M7S Clear - Reaper POVNuolong2025-04-14 | I was stuck on enrage for a bit on this fight, of course the clear is cursed with my dumb ass eating 2 damage downs LOL! First damage down was just bad dodging, second damage down was because I dashed the wrong way and panicked while running into the safe spot :( Happy we cleared anyway though, the damage downs weren't too bad in the end. I like this fight because it's fast paced and doesn't feel too much like an MMO boss fight, but I do have to say the mechs this guy does have are pretty uninspired. That's probably what the designers were going for, I'd guess.
I was M2 and we were doing Toxic Friends strats for P1/P3 and Bili Bili seeds for P2 on NA.

It shouldn't have taken me so long to clear. My rotation and debuff uptime was so bad after adds. Also stinks that I didn't get healed and died to desert mousse - I could have second winded, but didn't think I'd have to. (The SCH was out-pure-healing the WHM 🗿)
I was M2 and we were doing Hector/Toxic Friends strats on NA.

I have a lot to improve, but the 2 minutes were at kind of awkward times. Fun fight otherwise, it was so overwhelming but got better with reps. PF was kind of a nightmare, a lot of people joining clear parties when they are nowhere near ready. And for some reason I often got blamed for doing something wrong when I wasn't.

It's kind of boring, though I like the rose and gold aesthetic.
PF is kind of annoying with this fight too, every group is using slightly different strategies. In this video we primarily did Hector strats, with braindead for EF2. Overall, DPS in for every EF, relative B3, TN B4, tank lb3 B6.
I probably won't be posting these much more since I don't play this game that much anymore and they have added the previews for mount animations in the store.ESO: Exiled Redoubt Trifecta (Revenge Breaker) Sorc TankNuolong2025-03-13 | Did pretty quick, messy but 1st secret makes the no death easier.

Approximately 723 pulls and 51.1 hours of total prog (may be a little more since I don't think I remembered to log my very first parties). I ended up getting a merc party since it was hard getting back to P5 in PF "clear" parties, and cleared in one shot! Happy I did that, it was worth it.
The party DPS was way higher than expected - my rotation was really off as a result. Combining that with P5 panic, I'm not proud of my personal DPS. But nothing that can't be improved in reclears!
This was my first time touching an ultimate, so my first ultimate clear! Really fun fight!
I was M1 and using the FMBG plan for my feint casts - http://mit.lesb.in/ The strats used was LesBin - pastebin.com/ue7w9jJH

My rotation was clearly not optimal, I just wanted to do the mechs right since this is the most complicated fight I've done in FF14 so far, so working on improving my damage will be my next focus!
I enjoy VPR for these fights since it feels like it has a relatively much simpler rotation than other classes, so I can focus more brainpower on doing the mechanics.FFXIV: Pictomancer (PCT) Solo Eureka Orthos (EO) Sprout 🌱 ClearNuolong2025-01-01 | Took like ~5 attempts after duo clear with friend. Progression was like floor 40s death, then 30s death, then 10s death, then 96 death (tragic) and then the clear. Picto's insane burst made this kinda cheesy and my bosses were kind of messy, but steel made them quite forgiving. Hope to try out HoH next!!
I know that countless things could be improved about my gameplay, but I kind of just joined the PF on a whim! Also brain farted and didn't even realize the knockback mech was happening till the last second. 🤣ESO: Unstoppable - 252,364 - Sorcerer Tank (Lucent Citadel Trifecta)Nuolong2024-10-27 | 27 days of prog for 12 new trifectas! My first time raid leading a trial and I didn't really like it - I had high expectations for the group that weren't necessarily met as fast as I had wanted it to, but I'm glad it's over with now. My biggest headaches were front-loaded when thinking of how we were going to even do the trial since it was new and everyone was doing something different. Overall we just wanted the trifecta, so we played safe with tons of shields and didn't care at all about score. Someone also PTE'd with the current after I specifically said we won't be doing that, but it didn't affect my role, so still enjoy the POV!
Lucent Citadel is an interesting trial but I think it's only really fun to tank since you have the power to handle things how you want to. I have a lot of reps on DPS and found it incredibly boring!
Thanks to @ambitionplays2786 for their Xoryn marker setup! Also thanks to @imaslowlearner & @angelica_pickles for filling a lot! And @XTheAvariciousX for filling last-minute a couple of times.
Also, no log because I crashed and forgot to resume it. :/

27 days of prog in Little Village, finally glad it's over! Yurble and I decided to swap roles just for today (he was the Zenkosh and I was EC), and of course we get it when we do that. That was my first time as a DK on Reef & Taleria.🤦 I was kind of hoping to get an EC Cro POV of the swash recorded, but oh well lol.
22 days of prog! Pretty fun and positive group that started off like a shitshow and progressed pretty nicely. 11 new Swashbuckler Supremes! The last trash before Taleria was a mess and I'm surprised no one died. Bitch ass Rasta sniped!

The mount has a special summon animation if you have the Molag Bal Illusion polymorph equipped, which is an Apex reward from the same crate. Imo this stinks - the shackle summon animation looks really cool, but I'm not sure who wants to run around as Molag Bal just to make that appear.

After getting our first PB and doing the RP achievements, our permanent healer b.green logged on and we had 40 minutes left of our time for the day to try to get it again. We also got our good friend Sybad who's filled for us several times throughout the prog's roster progging. After playing the trial more conservatively and making this our last pull, we actually got it again. Slightly lower score, but crazy that we got it again, and that b.green and Sybad were here to get the achievement this time!
31 days of progression in Bait Central. Way too long, and we were pretty much at a point of being at each other's throats. This was maybe the last day we were going to run, having maybe 3-4 people leaving the group after today. But the stars aligned and we finally got it! This was a huge test in patience and forgiveness for me personally. There were points where I was sick of this place and the group I was running with, but by tail-end of the days we ran, I learned to chill out and treat ESO as what it always was - a game.
But we got 12 new PBs! We also ran it back 30 minutes later for the healer who missed the first hour and a good neighborhood friend in Bait Central. Will maybe post that video later.
