No it's literally just a big hp dummy that simulate the DPS you need in theory to beat the enrage on the boss, but it's balanced like fucking garbage. If it has mechanics it'd be really useful since that's be much better practice than hitting a dummy, but nope.

Yeah but the tuning on these is always kinda shitty, either they're too easy or too hard at the intended gear lvl, it's weird. If you're on PC hitting a normal dummy with ACT is just a lot better to improve overall.

First you need to be 60+ and have access to Idylshire. Go talk to Khloe, she's outside the poetics vendor building, across the Hard Place bar thing. Talk to her to receive the Wondrous Tails book, which is a weekly book that you fill by completing certain duties noted in the book(open via the...

You'd probably get people telling you to do the BLM shit as soon as you enter a 30+ dungeon as THM though. Anyway generally speaking, the community is pretty nice. Being an online game, it's not always the case obviously, but I'd say overall it's still a lot better than many other games. Partly...

Yeah you can see the stats caps. Also old main stat materias don't do anything anymore. Basically every item has a stat cap based on the ilvl. Say the stat cap is 100, the main stat on the item which is crit will be 100, and the offstat which is direct hit will be 60. You can meld 40 direct hit...

That's how every class works yeah. BLM can kinda work just starting the rotation right away, the opener is good for squeezing more dmg out but the current opener only works at higher levels anyway.

Blood of the Dragon is way easier to maintain, but yeah when the tank is really slow, oops buff dropped. That's why I often activated Life for 1-2 nastrond at the end of a pack, just because I didn't know if I'd be able to keep it until next pack anyway. The 30secs buff does make it a lot...

It was impossible to drop it before in combat too, because the 78 skill made it impossible already. The form switch is for when you're out of combat, or if you used anatman already somehow, and you still had riddle of earth too. Like the only fight you can drop it on is Eden, and the buff didn't...

PC release is January 2020. Delay's not as bad as the original, still several months though. Guess I'll just be waiting.

Seems a bit weird since there wasn't really any actual buff to damage though. RoF iirc was pretty much even as a change(some people on balance were even saying it might be a slight loss due to double weaving issues) and everything else's just the same. It's quite possible BLMs are parsing lower...

SAM can maintain uptime just fine while dodging though, you might not hit EVERY mob, but as long as you hit some you generate kenki and sens, and can easily cull it down. Their aoe burst is really good at high levels too Also a thing I rarely see other melees do, eat the aoes if they don't have...

Blacklisting ppl doesn't prevent you from being grouped with them via DF. It'd fuck the matchmaking if it did. It does prevent you from entering their PF or them entering yours though. It's fairly rare you'll see the same people again however. Some people are just fucking retarded, and they...

I just sold my maps, I hate running them takes way too long. I had 6 in the mail and 5 on me, they all sold for 300k once prime time came, the prices had slowly been raising all day but seems to have more or less topped off at 300k. Also sold 2000goetia worth of mats for like 6 or 7m, because...

Kinda all the same. The advantage of leveling everything in parallel is you can throw away your gear when you outlvl it(and by that I mean convert it to materias, even low lvl ones are worth something for crafting), and keep your inventory cleaner this way. Also past 50, a lot of crafts use...

Not Rowena herself, she just organizes this racket, vendors are like Auriana and I forgot the other girl next to her.

You forget the best side content, BLU. Although I did see some retard posting on reddit how he'd rather do old relics than savage. And it's like, well, do that then motherfucker, no one's preventing you. I don't do savage anymore cause I can't be bothered with all the wiping and finding a static...

Haven't seen that, I think a lot of casuals are happy with the new map shit, and there wasn't going to be new real content until 5.1 so ppl might have been super clueless I don't know. Trying to sell one of the new stupid crafted top thing before it drops too far in price but so far besides the...

Some of the situations you're listing just don't work like that. If you hold 3k mp, you don't have to think about "what if you used it on edge and then got it back in time". Because max mp is 10k, so if that's the case, you'll just hit 6k, and hit Edge, and then still have 3k for TBN. The only...

It costs a lot of potency if it doesn't pop. Granted it pops on any relevant content for the most part, just not on like, dungeon bosses and shit. On dungeon trash I think it's a bit worse than some of the other cooldowns too if you got a large enough pull, because 15-20% of all incoming damage...

Yeah it's nice, I thought that's what they should have done when I saw ppl complain about missing Hagakure, just keep a way to dump unneeded sens during breaks and what not, but not make it a core part of the rotation. I was thinking more of making Shoha do it though since Shoha was very...

Those MNK changes are surprising, so much QoL. I mean I don't even know how you drop GL stacks now, besides when synced down. Even synced down in HW it's easy to sustain, you just form shift and you can keep GL3 between trash packs and stuff(which is great with shit tanks, even at max lvl). You...

I doubt he suggested Dark Mind 20% to all types of damage, cause that'd be absurdly broken ass shit. I mean in comparison the 3rd cooldown other than the short one for other tanks are Thrill(20%hp and 20%more healing) and Camouflage(10% dmg reduction and 50% chance to parry), while Paladin has...

I think Grandgrant won't get invited, which sucks because he's easily the most enjoyable caster imo, I started by hating him a few years back but after watching him on random streams and shit, he's just hilarious and he has some interesting insight in some of the teams and personalities. But he...

Yeah that's the one time you have to use Return in a dungeon, ARR dungeons have some kinda weird shit going on. In a more modern dungeon you'd just click a teleport thing, but they never added one to that dungeon for whatever reason, even though literally everyone just return cause the run back...

SAM gear is just MNK gear, slaying. Buy the full gear and especially the weapon(you need 10 poetics token and 1 tomestone and then you trade these to the other woman standing next to the poetic vendor, you can double check the materials there first). You basically do that every 10 levels once...

Generally crit > det is what you want for healers. Crit when possible, det otherwise. Spellspeed tends to be kinda bad because it doesn't affect your oGCD heals(aka most of your healing) and piety is only useful if you have mp issues, which currently you shouldn't have when playing properly...

Healers and tanks level faster because of all the required instances and them having fast queues. For the solo aspect, kinda doesn't matter although tanks have an easier time than healers imo. But not that much, and there's really very little killing random mobs as part of the MSQ, it's mostly...

Well you need one to do the MSQ so that's probably why, and they do unlock the AF gear which will be relevant since the weapon will be the first step of the next relic too, probably. The unlocked quest is yellow however, it's just a normal quest but it's 80 req(non synced).

On the character screen it's really vague. Obviously once you start ingame you can just check your skills and see you have a bunch of heals, but the description on the char screen is all about weaving aether and shit and honestly could be about anything, it doesn't mention healing, curing...

It just baffles me that you would be confused on the character screen, even though the job armor should be pretty explanatory but you might have missed that on the screen, and the descriptions are somewhat vague especially for conjurer although thaumaturge specifies destructive energy and...

I mean, Conjurer starts with heals, and Arcanist starts with a pet. If you want to play Summoner, it should be pretty obvious which one is going to become summoner? It's also weird you'd not know which one becomes summoner and your initial reaction instead of alt tabbing and typing 3words in...

Yeah I mean I know they're good for that I just don't need any of the things they're good for, poetics I'm done gearing all my alts in scaevan(hell most sets I've already desynthed/converted cause I've been lvling a lot of shit) and I have 2 animas worth of garbage but no will to actually go...

Yeah possible, on Chaos it's that shit too I just haven't bothered cause I really don't give a fuck about the seals. But I've seen the guy who does all the hunts in my FC call the various server trains in rotation.

I guess if it's contested enough yeah, haven't really hunted in ShB so can't tell how it goes. Best to do hunts with though is tank, just put on the tank stance like after 1st GCD and get that threat up baby. Credit is threat based. Spamming Medica(after tagging the mob with Dia) is going to be...

The thing about melding currently is if you don't have a lot of money, you can still buy the 15 or whatever materias you need as VI materias, they're pretty cheap, and they can be removed 100% so when you replace the gear, you can just resell them. VI materias actually give a lot of stats(40...

Yeah during mechanics as a tank considering fucking them often wipes the raid, it's normal to focus hard and just forget about the rotation. Hell tank swaps still have me focusing too much on the right timing to shirk/taunt even though it's really simple, just I want to use all my cooldowns too...

You shouldn't lag behind DRK, they're about the same. Then you have PLD a fair bit higher(relatively, not like 5k higher) and then GNB slightly ahead of that, less so that the gap between PLD and DRK/WAR. I assume they'll do small buffs. Big difference since you're a new player is stuff like...

BRDs are already far enough ahead of DNC in personnal, a bump to DNC personnal wouldn't require any other change. When factoring Rdps, the classes are fairly close(DNC is 1300-1500DPS rDPS on top of their own). Even the other classes are kinda close, including Ninja(although it requires way too...

Yeah it's pretty interesting how all their dungeons are dumb ass corridors the entire way(other than original ARR dungeons), yet they somehow make them feel great. Like the maps of the dungeons look like the most boring shit and yet most of them have really cool stuff going on, with the slides...

Also from most reviews and opinions I've read, it's just a shittier Recetear, just more modern looking. Not gonna bother with either but eh they did have some pretty good games already, which I haven't played yet.
