    Looks like Flurry with the new reworked VFX. Rogue base skill with a 2H sword, likely on Bladedancer. The shadows, smoke screen and caltrops and stuff are base skills, the classes often has "repeated" skills from shadows.

    For characters it's really very much mostly Sentinel stuff(and mostly Paladin/Void Knight for the mastery, Forge Guard has like nothing since it was reworked in a previous patch), the rest of the categories are pretty empty other than bug fixes. Surprisingly not many nerfs for the stuff I looked...

    Some nice qol, the mastery respec is ok but I didn't feel it was a big deal to relevel a char back when I played, still nice. Being able to pay 3 keys to skip the dungeons entirely and just fight the boss is nice, although they apparently made them smaller too so they might not be so fucking...

    The bosses is what can be dangerous if your DP is a bit low, you definitely don't want to get clipped by their stuff but once you know how they work it's definitely not so bad but might depend on class. Giants is definitely an upgrade over orcs for most classes, but if your stats aren't up to...

    Yeah that's what they say when it's already a forced crit/dhit, which it says it is too. My MCH is 97 so can't confirm by checking but the tooltip says it already does, which is why it's not affected by reassemble since that'd be a huge waste if you do a mistake.

    Picto is pretty good for overworld killing but it still requires precasting the motifs and it's tied mostly to hammer cooldown so if you fight too often it's not that great. A ton of DPS do well in this situation though, a lot of them have big burst buttons on 1min cd like hammer and can clear...

    It was a bit less yeah, the purple stuff was 32/34/34 for the 3 botanist items for example while the highest white scrip stuff was 28/28/30. Don't think it really matters though cause they're just different mats anyway, it's not like gathering the purple scrip mats will serve any purpose over...

    Queues on my DC have been very good for DPS(or well they've been very average I should say, like 8-12mins, the same as non expansion launch times) so I haven't minded, but yeah alliance have faster queues so that's nice, and yeah I haven't gotten too many bad parties when I get them in roulette...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    The 90 alliance raids apparently give really good xp especially if you get a party that goes fast, but it's pretty RNG if you do or get shitters that die to every mech and end up taking 40mins instead. But say if you were to make a 24man premade, it'd likely be the fastest way to level up to 100...

    I think they made a conscious choice on some of these to be specifically on a different button so they appear as a new skill and not just the same shit you did before(at least not exactly). It's like the new RPR 92 or 96 skill that opens ups when you transform, but instead of just being the...

    You actually can't pick it up at 30. There's 2 checks for quests, once when you pick it up(need to be on a job high lvl enough) and once when you turn it in(need to be on a job high enough lvl to turn it in). It's to prevent picking up quests with a lvl 100 then turning it in with a lvl 10 and...

    The droprate are usually complete ass on raid orchestrions. Even in 6.58 when savage was uncapped the rolls for Pandemonium were still 500k+ and the ones from previous tiers were 800k-1m. Honestly 1m this early seems low for a roll like that. I buy all the orchestrion rolls every expansion and...

    Grim Dawn

    Oh that's neat, reusing the campaign stuff is a nice way to make content without actually making content, but the altar thing and the fact it's moddable is the big thing, people might end up doing pretty interesting stuff with that system.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    One thing that was pretty interesting is the voice over commentary calling stuff out during the fights, like when ppl die or when you use LB3. On the story being bad, I wouldn't be half surprised if the story was a wrestling story thing where most of it ends up being fake shit, like the evil...

    Yeah this fight was the only one I wiped on, and even the kill was pretty sketchy with healer LB3 and shit. There's a lot of stuff going on, and some isn't very obvious to dodge(like when there's all the line aoes and you have to both look at the visuals on your side but also across the arena...

    This patch was never going to be much more than a few bandaid fixes they had already announced that(although PCT changes to make it impossible to remove the rotation buffs didn't make it in it looks like but that's kinda whatever), if anything the MNK changes are surprising but I guess they want...

    So cleared the raid quickly since servers came up an hour early, really love the fights. The first fight started fucking dumb as shit I was rolling my eyes already, it goes something like raid wide, left/right shiny arm, left/right shiny arm again, then pizza slices left/right twice to begin...

    Elemental Nova I meant, Frost Claw upper nodes have a way to proc it, and the elemental novas can apply ignites too, but it jacks up the mana cost not sure if it's any good nowadays that was just what I used back then. For meteor no you can't trigger it, you can spec into a bunch of cast speed...

    When I did a similar build I had Meteor(there's a huge fire resist reduction node in there, also can use it to refill mana by refunding more than the cost or whatever it was, good to cast every few seconds on bosses/harder mobs), and elemental aura or something, which Frost Claw popped...

    I've leveled BLM and it really wasn't so bad, provided as usual that you know what's coming. Like the vanguard boss that vomits line aoes or does the spinning aoe with barriers it's just a matter of pooling triple cast/xeno for these phases specifically, especially once you get to 98 and get the...

    Well Draw and Minor Arcana are the same as before pretty much so you can leave them on a main bar, minor still doesn't require any targetting, and there's 3 play buttons, 1 is pretty much always tank(the mit/healing received one) so you could macro it with a target of target or focus target...

    The new card system is as many buttons as before, although the buttons priority/frequency has shifted. Before you had Draw, Play, Redraw, Astrodyne and Minor Arcana. Now you have Draw, Minor Arcana and 3 play buttons instead of redraw/astrodyne/play. You can put 3 play+minor on face button and...

    No only WHM has 0 mana buff, I think AST used to have it on Lightspeed but that was like 2+ expansions ago like back when you had to Ewer yourself for mp before they put mp on draw(or play whichever it was I didn't play that much AST). I can't say I've had an issue with rez and mp, in 4mans...

    Arcadion is next tuesday not sure what you mean by a long ways away. It's the standard 8man raid and normal is released on tuesday, savage 2weeks after that. Alliance raid is 7.1 which is like 4months away but the name for this isn't known I think, just that it's FFXI themed(I'd expect Shadow...

    Yeah but you can move to other servers when it spawns there. I didn't kill it on my own server once, only on other servers in my DC(well I got the squirrel once after I already had enough mats cause it was up when I went to do some FATEs there). Can't DC travel but still can world travel within...

    I played AST briefly so far. It's a lot of oGCDs now, and it should be exactly like SGE(and SCH) where every GCD is a damage one pretty much, there's aspected benefic but honestly from the time I played the class I felt it wasn't needed anymore(unless doing low lvl content obviously). You can...

    I don't really craft much anymore, I did cap every doh/dol(well fishing isn't I've been lazy) but I just reused the same macros I used to make shit gear before the expansion and sticked to doing 94 leves cause all I had was scrip gear. So no, but not surprised there's a macro solver program...

    I'd say DRK will probably struggle on some of the bosses, PLD and GNB can definitely get it done but WAR is easier even if you fuck up and eat some vuln stacks. On top of that WAR is the easiest to keep one DPS up with you on most fights as long as they're not eating every aoe. PLD is good for...

    There's no real reason to do role quests other than the story for them(which I have no idea if it's any good, I only did 90 and 92 for a couple millions to hit 99). They give the same xp as a MSQ(1m or so, so not great) and they're not required for MSQ progress.

    Finished, overall I'd say it was alright, not great but not that bad. I felt the story suffers from poor pacing, too many parts take way too long for what they're doing. If I was to rate it I'd say 5 or 6 or so, roughly the same as Stormblood. Has good bits but too much stuff that I felt...

Pretty sure it'd have been faster if I spammed...
