    What if I told you that Japan hasn't had any relevant world firsts in years? In fact, for the past few tiers, they weren't even in the top 3. This has more to do with culture and ego than it does meta. In Japan, you are expected to better yourself if the group is underperforming; it is...

    Grit is on the GCD which is why I absolutely hate clicking it for mitigation. I usually prefer to use TBN + another CD since that's basically the same thing, though I will click Grit on during emergencies. I try to push DPS as a tank because it's just so boring otherwise. (PLD is the most...

    DRK has a really solid trash pull rotation IMO. Start with Grit and Blood Price on, use Unleash until you have all the mobs gathered and positioned, then turn off Grit, activate TBN and spam Abyssal Drain, when you get low on MP pop Blood Weapon and Quietus and that will pretty much refill your...

    They were probably just being a little bitch. As long as the tank is holding aggro, the only thing an undergeared tank means for a healer is that they have to press their 1 button harder.

    This is not my experience on Gilgamesh/Aether. The only time I've seen a healer queue better than a tank queue is for 24-man raids.

    Getting Warrior to max level will save you a lot of grief for when you need to run dungeons and your friends aren't on.

    We could actually have a really decent FoH community in this game if we weren't split across different data centers.

    Pathfinder: Kingmaker

    Loving this game, I'm up to the Varnhold chapter now and it's been an absolute blast. Some things I've noticed: -Delay Poison Communal (3rd level Cleric spell) is insane for this campaign. So many creatures that would otherwise annihilate you with ability damage can't do shit while that spell...

    There are normal Lalafell voices that don't sound like nails on chalkboard but most people don't use them because... degeneracy.

    The MSQ is honestly just too slow-paced to keep my interest now. I used to listen to all the voice acting during cutscenes, but now I just skip as soon as I'm done reading.

    Pathfinder: Kingmaker

    Is this game stable enough to give it a go now?

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    It's an epidemic. These people are a lot more widespread than just Balmung. FFXIV has one of the most degenerate MMORPG communities in history and the keynote has made me happy if for no reason other than schadenfreude. I wish they would unsub over this, but they won't, because they can't go two...

    Please help find who murdered my friends family member

    Right, sounds to me like the paper was intended to be nothing but a distraction. Could have had nonsense on it like "Your child was tardy to school on MM/DD." Anything to get her to look down just long enough...

    I'm very conflicted about BLU. The class itself is really fun to play but all of the idiotic design shit surrounding it ruins a lot of the fun. Pros: BLU mage style of combat is fun and a nice refresher from strict rotations Being able to choose different moves for different situations is a...

    They won't. This same thing happened in Heavensward. Remember Impulse Drive Dragoon for 15+ levels? IMO the only way to start this game as a new player is to buy a level skip potion and then use deep dungeon to level other classes.

    For DRK, the class doesn't feel complete until 68. I will always express how absolutely terribad leveling in this game is.

    It's easy once you have the knowledge. The mechanics of Provoke and enmity multipliers aren't exactly intuitive.

    Why the hell is that video 13 minutes long? Here's real tanking 101: For generating snap aggro: PLD use Flash, WAR use Overpower, DRK use Unleash. Doesn't matter if it's single target or AoE, these skills have the highest non-combo enmity multipliers. You can pull mob packs with your ranged...

    Are you on Aether? Do you want an invite to our cross-world LS?

    I resubbed against my better judgment. Do we have a cross-server LS yet? EDIT: Yeah we do, we should get everyone on Aether in here.

    NFL 2018 - 2019 -- Watch America's favorite sport wither away and die

    The Colts/Cowboys reffing has been nonsense on both sides, but I don't think any of the other games going on right now have as high of stakes.

    The Authoritative Final Fantasy & Bravely Default thread

    Not really. Significantly less relevant than the online features in the first game. Overall, Bravely Second is more difficult than Bravely Default (assuming you are playing as max difficulty) with one exception. The final boss of Bravely Default is significantly more difficult than any of...

    The Authoritative Final Fantasy & Bravely Default thread

    Weirdest take I've ever seen. Second has better gameplay and character development than the first. I'd say it's superior to the first in every aspect except the greater plot.

    Divinity: Original Sin 2

    Things may have changed since definitive editions, but before then Poison Wave and Acid Spores could heal undead characters for quite a lot. If that's no longer the case, then I don't have any further suggestions.

    Geomancy has some poison-aspected spells that can heal him for a lot.

    Rams defense hasn't been spectacular all season, this will be a good wake-up call for them.

    Every class is terrible pre-70. The devs make the leveling experience even worse with every expansion as they gut more abilities or restrict cool job systems until higher levels.
