Obtena.7952 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Is Metabattle still the go to for Raid meta builds? Are meta builds for Raids just as relevant for Fractals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asum.4960 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 I would recommend Snowcrows for Meta Builds. That said, not much is changing, as always it is Chrono, Druid, BS, *2 pDPS./E: If you are a dedicated Speedrunner with a static group of really good players, you can ditch the Druid. Pugs, even the good ones speeding through CM's + T4, in my experience and looking at LFG at any time, run the comp I provided.Discretize has been getting outdated by multiple patches over months now, so I would still recommend to at least double check builds from there at Snowcrows.

Clashing.4235 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 That's still the pug meta, some static groups run Chrono/BS/DPSx3 with one being a power soulbeast for the spirit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although both game modes share common stuff there are important differences especially when it comes to speed clearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
segman.3560 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Also discreditize builds take fractal potions into consideration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meta comps ditched the druid, compressed the healing on chrono and got a third pure pDPS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar to raids where most of the squads have 2 healing druids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinceman.4572 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Well, we had the discussion about linguistics in several other threads and I don't care about personal sensitivities. For me it's obvious to see that there is a pug meta and a speed clear meta. The first one is the common strategy chosen by the overwhelming majority of players and the latter one - the one for a tiny but skilled minority.

No wonder... sighi joined 200+ kp groups without kp by telling people I've sold my KP and bring confidence to my gameplay. on the first boss they see good dps or good boons/cc or good banners depends on what i play.
