    Det is definitely better than crit right now, with possibly an exception for SCH if you find yourself casting Adlo a lot.

    The combined role quest at the end isn't nearly as good as the role quests leading up to it. I was severely disappointed.

    There are a myriad of issues with FFXIV. Hekotat's complaint is not one of them.

    I disagree with this. A good DNC can pump out 8-9k on their own and their buffs add at least another 1-2k raid DPS. The class is absolutely absurd, they even eclipse NIN + Trick Attack.

    Noodle, why are you being so critical of your positioning?

    The pro strategy is to have your tanks handle the lightning tether by themselves and then share Fae Light. That way you have minimal reliance on retard DPS and healers.

    God, I hope not. Might also have something to do with the the Ishgard restoration, which I think is being introduced this expansion.

    Odd patches are also when Ultimates get released, if we get any more this expansion. I think the dev team said we might be getting one, but I can't remember.

    Probably not, they don't usually do this until a later patch.

    Yeah it sucks. As a rule of thumb, always handle the big chapter quest first before doing any kingdom upgrading. Sidequests you can do along the way as most of them won't take more than a day or two to complete and they'll grant you EXP - really the only thing you shouldn't be doing is kingdom...

    This. FFXIV plugin parses from network data, not a log file, so it needs an exception in Windows Firewall. Alternatively, you can tell the plugin to parse from your memory, but it's pretty inaccurate.

    Depends on the context. "Trap party" = a party that intends to be a farm/clear party but can't actually farm or clear, wasting everyone's time. "Trap" in reference to a person = guy pretending to be a girl.

    I really don't recommend M+KB players turn off the auto-face target feature because of problems like this. XIV has a really wonky engine that can lead to some really annoying behaviors, but for best performance you want to learn to work with it instead of against it. When you are running in a...

    What's your biggest loss in a game? (Data wipe, save corruption, impossible boss, etc)

    Not a single game, but when I was in middle school, I built my first gaming PC, which was a big upgrade from my old PC - a 5+ year old machine that could only run games at min settings. I used my old PC's hard drive as the Windows install drive for the new one. That's a mistake you only ever...

    Yeah the way flanking works in this game makes Rogues pretty OP. Nok Nok's Will save is utter trash though so try to find a way to bump it up or else you're going to have a real bad time in the late game.

    Lots of 17 year olds do stupid shit. It's not like this was some dindu with a bad family and no chance of turning life around.

    More info. According to Bianca's sister, the murderer was a "family friend." https://heavy.com/news/2019/07/bianca-devins/amp/?__twitter_impression=true However horrible the blackmail stuff may have been, the punishment for that crime is jail, not execution.

    If you buy people a level skip and story skip potion, it's a LOT easier for them to stick with the game.

    Could you upload the podcast as audio-only to a place other than YouTube? Would love to listen to this in my car during my commute, but since I don't have unlimited data, YouTube is a no go.

    The level 80 DRK quest is really good. As much as I dislike a lot of the writing in this game, the DRK quests have a habit of being phenomenal.

    Yeah at higher level play, NIN and DNC are very close together. It's part of the reason why I'm maining DRK now.

    For installing ACT and the XIV plugin, you can just use the guide on the Github for the plugin itself (scroll down to the bottom.) As far as overlays go, I have two monitors and don't use one so can't help you there.

    Fishing is like its own game entirely. The past two days I've been grinding FSH from 35 and I don't even feel like I'm playing an MMORPG.

    I disagree with some of this. For tanks, I think all the tanks are in a pretty good spot, and they all bring something unique to the table. PLD has the best party mitigation, WAR has a combo of party mitigation and party recovery (kind of like half a healer), DRK has the best tank mitigation...

    T5 was super difficult to clear due to a bug (although Bluegartr cleared it before the bug was patched, the absolute madmen), and T9 Savage had something crazy like 12 different dragon patterns. A3S and A4S were just totally completely overtuned (and A4S was cleared using the sacrifice trick...

    DRG is hot right now. It might get adjust a bit before Savage drops, but even if it does it will still be a very good clas.

    A3S, A4S, A6S, A8S, A11S, A12S, O8S, O11S, and O12S were all pretty difficult IMO. Thordan Extreme is probably up there, too.

    Since I have a pretty regular schedule going, I'm forming a static (Aether DC). We're raiding Thurs/Fri from 6:30pm - 9:30pm PDT. We're hoping to have all of Eden's first tier cleared by the 7th week mark, so it's going to be at a bit more of a casual pace yet we aren't interested in taking...

    People do ice circles the most retarded way possible. "Hurr durr, the firsr ice circle appeared in the middle so I better run through it!" No, shit-for-brains, run around the outside and then into the middle only after it's safe so you don't get clipped. As far as the lighting tether swap goes...
