    When I checked their innocence progress, they didn't seem to be lying, or they purposefully explained some of the mechanics horribly wrong. Individually maybe some of them looked up strats, but overall EX fights are a not really a good example to figure out if they're lying, cause EX fights are...

    A bunch of them didn't boost, in fact Datmodz who I was talking about actually leveled through the story, and that's a good example that leveling properly actually doesn't really teach you shit. Unless you're willing to do research, doing dungeons and easy mode trials won't teach you shit but...

    Yeah a proper log would require a lot of work. With that work they might as well make a full damage log that basically parse all info sent by the server and render it into a text form thing, which would be very helpful for confirming mechanics and such by seeing dmg done, but unlikely to happen...

    I don't think the party make up is an issue at all, a lot of statics just use whatever and this one is perfectly fine, 2 ranged DPS would be a bit harder since they do noticeably less dmg but 2 casters is basically just as good as 2 melees until pretty high skill level since melees uptime is a...

    Damn that looks like a cool mount, and obviously I'm sure it plays that actual song too, first mount I'm considering buying. Also checking Datmodz stream quickly they're doing EX Twintania, definitely doesn't look blind though.

    It's just levels, get more levels and they'll get a few more stats and eventually you have enough. If you add up all their stats you'll see your 41 has a few more points than 39 and 38 a couple less than these. Your squadron rank is maxed(280/280 on the top right) so nothing left there for now...

    Retainers have additional inventory yeah, it's kinda the first option iirc? They have a bunch of bags each, they're basically your bank. You can also list some of the items(10 per retainer) at high price to get a few more "slots" but that's a fair few slots with the inventory, chocobo slots...

    Yeah cactbot doesn't do balls, it's not that hard since you just follow a priority system or just follow your healer if you have no idea, it was more like while you know balls is coming a while before, you basically can't call anything besides "get ready for balls" cause they spawn in random...

    Oh yes absolutely, I think at this point it doesn't look like they're going in blind though if they're already looking into cactbot and ACT triggers, but maybe they just want to set them blank to do their own triggers, which I guess is ok. I just don't know how much the "casuals" in the party...

    I don't think they'll ban over that, that'd go against what they usually do. Although Cactbot and such are beyond the scope of what the devs explicitely said they don't care about, as long as they're not actively harassing other people with them or obviously cheating, I don't think they'll do...

    There's also the fact that we don't really know how this league was received in China, if they even got the same league and the same balance changes at all. I mean could probably figure it out with google translate but for all we know this isn't a "shit league" in China currently and so Tencent...

    Well obviously, but it still sucks, and might affect some of the modding stuff. And it's unlikely this won't be piratable anyway, unlike D3 which was entirely reliant on the servers to do anything.

    Makes finding off meta skills as 21/23 more or less impossible as a result too cause few people are gonna roll some shit skill in temple double corruption over just using the meta gems and making several more exalts in the process and shit. I guess you can buy the double corruptions to roll for...

    Oh don't get me wrong obviously it's very easy to figure out what it does and how and it is somewhat important for raiding, just you technically don't have to figure it out and can still clear all content. It's kinda like substats, you technically don't have to know how they work, you can just...

    It's very possible for someone to clear savage and not know about limit break if they play say, a caster, a ranged DPS or a tank(besides the few fights that do require tank LB). Also melee if in multi melee comps. Realistically in 95% of the encounters, you're either melee LBing or healer LBing...

    Even with Cactbot if you don't understand what's going on it's really hard to keep track of what's going to happen, the warnings are often kinda late and vague, like "X mechanic in 3secs" and you have to know what the mechanic actually is. It's not like some of the worst times of DBM where it...

    On Eureka glowy armor, as far as I remember, all you need to do is progress your weapon to the Pyros level(so you need to do Anemos and Pagos and the introduction quest in Pyros). This unlocks the vendor that sells the armor, need some Pyros materials to buy it though so you have to grind that...

    Dark Knight is worth doing just for the job quests. Also kinda ended up my favorite tank in ShB, because I like lazy tanking and DRK is real fucking lazy, more so than my previous go to, Paladin.

    Eh on learning new classes part, I do just go to dummies when I unlock a new class. Or well, first I spend some time reading every skill carefully and putting them on my bars in the way I feel they're gonna be used, then do dummy to confirm how the skills function. Then I pre-plan all my skills...

    While transpose lets you not lose Enochian, it's also generally fucking terrible to end up using it as it fucks up your rotation, and is really a last resort kind of thing. That said yeah it's definitely easier to keep Enochian up, but once in a while you'll still drop it until you're really...

    You can check videos, especially rotation guides, to get an idea of how the class plays at max level, like if it's busy, if you have a lot of things to look at, if it's relaxed, proc based, strict rotation etc, should help it narrow down a bit. Style is probably a big part of why ppl play...

    Some things on that first post: "2. do your main story quest. it's really fucking long. Literally everything in the game is locked behind stages of MSQ. you cannot open expansion classes till you're at the expansions in the MSQ." That's wrong, only the HW classes requires you get to HW MSQ. SB...

    Other than the seasonal events and other collaboration type event things, yeah they don't really delete stuff. I guess technically the pvp season rewards too but so few people bother with this shit. Even these they will usually just add recolors of the stuff in other ways later on. Everything...

    Can't do Eureka sadly, I think they don't want everyone to play BLU in there and have ppl without BLU whine about stuff dying too fast and whatever. It sucks cause BLU would be nice to farm this old content with.

    50k really are they that cheap? Btw if you have gatherers, you can get like 25k a day from gathering a map which takes like 2mins. Prices might vary but maps usually keep good value throughout due to them adding new glamours and shit to them, I generally hold as many as possible(can only own...

    Crafted gear shouldn't be that expensive but guess it depends on server. Some things to note on that system that might not obvious from a quick peek, first you only need one HQ item for an upgrade item, HQ items give like 2.5x more certificates or whatever and just add up to exactly the amount...

    At this point you've probably been using but check with Teamcraft if you can indeed go straight to the BiS. It's likely if you didn't meld the dwarven gear(and you shouldn't) that you won't even be able to meet the requirements to attempt the BiS crafts at all. You'd have 2 ways to go about...

    Yeah the game culls pretty aggressively because of issues back in the days during expansion/patch releases. I wonder how he'll like Heavensward, he's probably been overhyped about everyone telling him how great it is and stuff so wonder if it just won't live up to the hype.

    The leveling roulette option is relatively recent, but do note it only works if you're in a full party. It's basically meant for people who full party to get nice dungeons instead of just getting sastasha over and over again(which seemed to happen most of the time before). If you're solo...

    That's a pretty big selling point mind you. Whenever I come back after months of not playing, I can gear up all the chars I feel like playing for like a million each or whatever.

    Also in most cases, other than his super slow casts that you have plenty of time to figure out(or see that 7 other people are standing in one spot so you can just go there too), he's just facing the tank, so should be somewhat easy. He definitely is a bit of a step up in terms of story trial...

    It happens, rarely though, but yeah like every once in a while.

And don't...

    The french players(and germans, spanish and italians) usually pick a server as an unofficial server, so they can speak french there and shit. Same on every mmo I played. Like on XIV, that server is Moogle and people often hate on the Moogle players in savage and stuff, cause they tend to be...

    New flasks will suck on content that vomits constant elemental damage spikes though, especially combined with damage nerfs so you don't one shot stuff as it spawns as much.
