Yay! He's back! I have paladin, warrior, and dark knight to 100 for a while now, and it wasn't until last week that I learned that Arm's Length had the slow from a friend. I don't have the attention span to read tooltips, and when I first got Arm's Length I was playing melee dps. I never bothered to look at it again because in my head I had "it prevents knockback." I also main healer or caster dps, I don't tank often.
I was really chuffed when I told my friend who's an experienced player about arms length and they didn't know about it either! I only knew about it because when I was learning how to tank I watched some of those "Things you might not know as a sprout" videos
18:53 I dunno, I'm a little jealous of your cowboys, Cider. Sometimes I'll run a dungeon as the only male midlander in a party of catgirls. Maybe we can trade groups! Welcome back, Mad Mentor! I'm really excited to see this series picked back up!
About the very important scientific research question @ 10:15 I was under the impression the Siren from Pharos Sirius had the biggest ones. I just remember watching the cutscene and thinking "that's definitely not on the slider"
Cider, if you get tired of the basic dungeon spam, what you do on this roulette is play DPS. Healers get old dungeons like crazy; DPS get a mix with a lot of trials, raids, guildhests, EX trials, recent dungeons, and occasionally alliance raids.
Fun fact raw intuition/blood wetting isnt based on damage you deal its a heal power per mob hit so even if you are doing 0 damage for some reason you can still heal as long as it hits
@@RacoonHand when I see sprouts being obviously new and a little awkward, it's usually the delays between doing things and not moving on to the next thing the group is doing quickly. Not attacking while moving (even if their job is good at that), pausing before beginning to attack things or after finishing a boss or trash pack, dropping everything they were doing in order to move, etc...
I am traveling in Japan right now but I can’t wait to get back to the hotel later tonight and relax with your video! welcome back! mandatory like 👍🏻 button before watching.
Now that's some weird coincidental timing. I just finished my mentor roulette grind last night. I got 5 more EXs in the final weekend and ended on a classic ARF where all of the sprouts died to everything on Ascian prime. For some reason Titan EX was REALLY popular on Sunday.
Yeah, health-based multi-monster kills usually result in "monster starts doing big AoE damage and then explodes". Have't seen "they revive if you don't cut them all down together" one. The first Alexander boss goes right into raid wiping boom if you kill one too fast. Nier's Hansel and Gretel, one will just start screaming repeatedly causing big AoE damage that I think gets bigger until a wipe if the other dies too fast. Also, our DDoS "pals" have returned. It may be part of the problem you were experiencing...
Regarding tanking on Ala Migho (Sp?) as Gunbreaker that second pull can be a nightmare if you miss your Superbollide and it’s why many tanks will split it in two until they learn the timing
My problem with 10% mitigation abilities is, my bars are clogged enough, as it is. There's literally no more room. If I have to choose between a 10% mit or Heart of Corundum, Heart of Corundum wins every time.
The DT role quests lost me on the very first one I did, which is the one you mentioned. In my mind, there is no way in any scenario where they can roll up on the palace like that and Raubahn doesn't just walk out and smite the lot of them.
DRK get Living Dead at 50, so they have their invuln/best self-sustain. That first pull of Doma Castle traumatized me from healing for a while because I was still learning, and after the wipe the tank dunked on me. Took a while, but I’m better about it now.
Given your use of silent scream in the back and your discussion of protobuncle, I'm guessing you realised that he's actually using the protobuncle's skeleton.
I had the same issue with lag and for the same reason. I could completely solve it by switching to only ipv6 (via setting in my router) where before it was some sort of hybrid and i never had problems since. Might be worth a try. Thanks for the video!
As a WAR main, I cannot get over all these WARs not using Raw Intuition with any frequency. It is the single best heal ability in the game because it recharges so much faster than other full heal abilities like Benediction. As a solo content runner/speedrunner, when I'm getting into content that is hard for a single player, however overlevelled, Raw Intuition has saved my ass SO many times. WAR folks, please use Raw Intuition/Bloodwhetting. Please.
10:22 --- I think, Siren from Pharos Sirius is a serios contender for the title - no pun intended ^^ ... They dont really make booba-bosses anymore :( 21:55 --- Dont get me started on the DT roles quests >.< There is a thing thats called "too goofy by far" and those quests nailed it - in the worst way possible. They had some good moments but all in all... I couldnt take the allied NPCs serious though I liked most of them, I thought the "villians" were a joke (and bad ones at that) and the stories werent really that engaging... Hopefully the follow-up quest comming... at some point this patch? is more fun. Meh, I still have to finish two extremes from EW... and I'm just really not in the mood... -.-
War trash pulls - Raw/blood -> any other mit -> raw/blood and keep repeating till everything is dead. If done right you have mit up 100% of the time for trash.
I agree using invulns on pulls in dungeons is nice but you gotta think of the healer aswell like if you suddenly drop that low they often tend to panic which isnt the nicest sthing to do also lots of healers get quite offensive about it even when you use Hallowed Ground people tend to see it as you not trusting them to heal you at least that is my experiance with it so far...
As someone who both tanks and heals. This right here with the invuln/trust thing. When I have a tank use an invuln randomly, I feel insulted. That said, now the GNB invuln doesn't put me at 1HP, I have been using it more. I'm less likely to nuke a WHM's bene now, I don't feel like I am literally wasting 90% of my HP by pressing it... Remember, every HP over 1 is a mit as well. The last HP is the only one that matters, pressing an invuln that throws it away is wasting mit. That said, I am still punished more for not having it as a just in case rather than using it as a regular mit. If I am going to use it intentionally, I save it for specific pulls too. I don't use it right away and then later on, I will know the dungeon enough to know when to use it on typical hard pulls. Most dungeons just have that 'one' pull in them that is harder than the rest.
Would it be subjective size to the model or the size size. E12 probably gives Lakshmi a run for her money then if you wanna count them. Siren also would be in the running if subjective.
Honestly, I've had a bit of backlash for giving tips for playing, so it's only in the extreme circumstances that I try to help and give tips. Although if you're a tank in a level 100 dungeon and you run into the stack marker with a tankbuster not once but three times, I'm going to assume you're a troll.
The adds dying at the same time mechanic only seems to be in ultimates now, like dsr and fru..... I guess that shows how much misplaced faith they had in players in arr.
The man. The myth. The legend. When we needed him most, he returned, brought forth by the magic of the season.
Do you want to build a snowman?
No man....😂
It's kinda expensive and I'd have to give money to twitch... So nah not gonna do that. Sorry
With wet grass where I’m at…..yeeeeah sure
"you like mounts and i like money" loollll fair enough!
FYI if you hold off until next week, gifting FIVE nets you snowman and a random amount of extra gifted subs from Twitch.
THE MAD MENTOR RETURNS! Woohoo!
For a second I was about to scold you for coming back from your break early. Then I remembered that I can read the title.
Yay! He's back! I have paladin, warrior, and dark knight to 100 for a while now, and it wasn't until last week that I learned that Arm's Length had the slow from a friend.

Welcome back, Mad Mentor! I'm really excited to see this series picked back up!
Cider: Something about some node on the west coast
Me: CIDER HAS AT&T TOO!!!!
I rarely comment on YT, but I've missed your content! Welcome back!
About the very important scientific research question @ 10:15 I was under the impression the Siren from Pharos Sirius had the biggest ones. I just remember watching the cutscene and thinking "that's definitely not on the slider"
I don't know who has the biggest being a "man's man", winkwinknudgenudge, but I can 100% tell you who has the most.
I too feel genuine shock when someone doesnt have an ad plate, other times the shock is because of the plate in question 😐
The return!!! And just in time, I was beginning to miss you. Staring wistfully at your uploads page and hoping the break would soon come to an end.
Nice to see a new mentor roulette video. I'm getting so close to finishing mine and never having to do them again :P
I missed these videos! Glad to have you back
Liked for truth about adventurer plates
Welcome back one of our favorite Lalagemlins.
leveling MCH currently....the amount of times I say "GET DRILLED, IDIOT!" now is....wild lmfao
When he says the paladin was a fem roe, then corrected himself saying it was an elezen and was still wrong cuz she was a highlander XDDD

Clunky sproutness is how I’m going to describe my gameplay from now on after 4 years of being on this game
@@RacoonHand when I see sprouts being obviously new and a little awkward, it's usually the delays between doing things and not moving on to the next thing the group is doing quickly.

Wohoo welcome back Cider! :3
3:50 oh lord. Ive wiped in this during roulettes more than once.
Thank you for the gift angriest baby. Ily.
The whole “spreading damage around” mechanic, I only remember from Thornmarch EX.
I am traveling in Japan right now but I can’t wait to get back to the hotel later tonight and relax with your video! welcome back! mandatory like 👍🏻 button before watching.
single target doton never seizes to miss

love waking up to some cider

14:15 Yes what FF needs are Space Marines
ooh time to eat ohh look cider said come say hi!
that cider spider 3am upload be hittin

Yes we are back!
It’s very good to be back.
The DT role quests lost me on the very first one I did, which is the one you mentioned. In my mind, there is no way in any scenario where they can roll up on the palace like that and Raubahn doesn't just walk out and smite the lot of them.
Faust Z has a cleaving auto attack - both tanks are supposed to stay infront of it. That's why the paladin was getting spanked.
"What do they be eating in the Void?! ...Well, I mean. Each other. Mostly."
I will refrain from making any comments.
DRK get Living Dead at 50, so they have their invuln/best self-sustain.
That first pull of Doma Castle traumatized me from healing for a while because I was still learning, and after the wipe the tank dunked on me. Took a while, but I’m better about it now.
WELCOME BACK!!
Voice 5 miqo is my sleep paralysis demon.
I was just checking your channel today, thinking it had been a while.

Great video Cider!
CIDER'S BACK!!!
Lots of bosses in HW raids hit like freight trains.
I'LL TAKE THAT AS A YES!
the way trust bots ruined all of the fun old mechanics that i loved T_T
I can't tell if it's his clothes but I always thought Gilgamesh had quite the bonbon
5:42 which ninja? Just noticed that you played with 4 of them xDDD
We're so back
10:22 --- I think, Siren from Pharos Sirius is a serios contender for the title - no pun intended ^^ ... They dont really make booba-bosses anymore :(

Merry Christmas to us lol
War trash pulls - Raw/blood -> any other mit -> raw/blood and keep repeating till everything is dead. If done right you have mit up 100% of the time for trash.
I unfortunately have to think about Limitless Blue a lot because it's in EVERY ONE of my Wonderous Tails joirnals
A SURPRISE CIDER DROP YIPPOIE

I’m so used to using raw intuition that when I do a dungeon below a lvl that can use it i get a little sad.
Wouldn't the winner by default be Lakshmi during phase change? Hers are bigger than most *people*.
Would it be subjective size to the model or the size size. E12 probably gives Lakshmi a run for her money then if you wanna count them. Siren also would be in the running if subjective.
Does it have to be a snowman?

Haha Knew it HE'd be back. they always come crawling back to ff14 ALWAYS.
Yay! 🥳
YAY DRUNK MENTOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
