[Somefrickface]

I call it “Get in” “Get out” and “Cone”

[Raven]

old players say chariot and dynamo, now we say in/out or puddle/donut

[woman-of-clay]

Circle, donut, cone attack, “you know all those circles”

[fakenickib]

Thank god you said how to avoid the last one cause my dumb brain was like “HUH!!!”

[platinum-wingedseraph]

I never hear anyone saying Dynamo or Chariot but what I do hear is:
1.) Puddle
2.) Donuts
3.) Shiva
4) Akh Morn
5.) Protean/Conal
6.) Buddies
7.) Light parties
8.) Towers
9.) Wild charge

[titusfortunus]

"AoE" "Donut" "Protean(this one we use)" and "Mario Kart/Gaols/Puddles"

[PaperDoll]

1) Piss Pool, (2) Donut, (3) Cone, and (4) Do A Lap. :0

[occamsbutterknife]

Another one I see a lot of new players not knowing is Akh Morn, the stack mechanic that hits the party multiple times

[brucewayne]

Point blank: get away from boss.
Donut: hug boss.
Defamation: point blank on player that covers like 80% of the arena.

[Sinalve]

Killed me that this opens with someone falling in e9

[lorgrenbenirus]

We say "donut", "cone" or directional like "frontal cone", or "point blank aoe" or just "point blank". People have many different terminologies, important is that it's clear so that people understand it.

[bluedash]

For me i call them get it, get in, cone (spread cone if needed) and clock (center clock for if the opposite effect of starting in center then moving out)

[Sweatopod]

Out/In/Cone, Shiva is the only one I actually saw people use a few times, most often the leader was saying full lap

[mooglebogles]

point blank/donut/protean/just dodge the thing is what i tend to use when im doing call outs lmao

[TechneMakre]

why are the ppl in the comments so pressed omg💀 I've heard and used both, done ultimates and week 2 savage. just bc you haven't been in vc with every raider to ever live doesn't mean ppl don't use these terms. we also got wild charge, enumeration, acceleration bomb, etc, the video is just trying to help u :c

[FatedHex]

1- Out, 2- In, 3- Conals, 4- Russian Roulette is how i've learned haha

[JS-krfs]

I can say as a player who came in during Endwalker, that I developed my own parlance for these as: 'out', 'in', 'Shiva' without learning from someone else. There's clearly lots of folks who came to the same conclusion. These feel like the natural names.

Of course, whatever the flip Protea is on about. I guess you might as well call it a narrow cleave marker, because it's like 1/4 or half the size of like a Sepirot or Diabolos Hollow cleave marker.

[keo]

Point blank
Donut
Shiva
It depends, cone for some, clock for others (clock positions) or earthshakers for another different group. Depends, but protean is fairly rarely used for how often it's seen in all kinds of content

[Juskaey]

Been raiding since ARR, have never used Chariot/Dynamo outside of T9 itself and Ruby Weapon EX.

Our group uses Pancake (or Out)/Donut (or In). Protean will pop up sometimes among the boomers but we usually say Clock (or Spread).

From the video I'd say only Shiva is widespread anymore and still commonly used.

[Randomname]

Only time I ever seen chariot was in ucob during quotes
