    The most annoying part isn't really the fact you can't cancel or the fact it sometimes interupts by moving because you stopped and started casting right after(but both of these are annoying as fuck), the annoying part is when you use an off the GCD instant then start casting, and about a second...

    You never have to spend more than 3secs on the map to find a quest. Open quest log(can click on the quest in tracker too), click the map button, if it's in another zone the map will show the world map, click the green name, it opens the zone map and shows you exactly where to go on the map. I...

    I don't see why they'd remove them, you only get the first 2 tiers at the shops, and while the first tier is like 2-4gils for the mats, the 2nd tier is already like 20-30gils for a lot of stuff, which you can already undercut and sell easily if you've been leveling gathering on it. I collected...

    RIP Games for Windows Live

    Ah right but I know some games required GFWL for like cloud saving or just for the multiplayer, I guess all that shit is dying then, and they're just going to fix the issues where you can't even play the game at all.

    RIP Games for Windows Live

    Ah right I thought I remembered reading that on reddit but then it was tagged as False Info or whatever because it was just the storefront going down and not the entire thing. But I guess in the end it was. Good thing, even though I guess none of the GFWL games will work after?

    It says it failed but in your profile the game should be there, so it seems to work, kinda.

    But he has a lot of damage. Drow for example is worse until 6, as are a bunch of supports due to having both low dmg and shitty attack. CM damage is low as fuck but her attack point, while terrible, is still noticeably better than Lina. Funny enough the heroes I have the most trouble with are...

    Cause I didn't know who had the lowest or biggest damage range, and was too lazy to check, out of the heroes I usually play I think Abaddon is the biggest. CK variance does sound awful as fuck though but I guess you last hit with the lower end with is pretty decent anyway. Anyway just goes to...

    Well in P3 it was 20, I ended up being 22 by the time I did the GC quest but you definitely get it earlier. Could have gotten it this beta to be honest but I guess they didn't want people wasting their lvl 20 xp so there was only one lvl 20 story quest(which you didn't have to turn in either, I...

    GLD dmg picks up quite a lot later on. As for ACN damage, if you refer to parses, there is no good way to parse ACN damage at the moment as dots aren't parsed correctly/at all, and I'd say 60-70% of ACN damage is dots. Tank pets definitely stupid.

    If you make a lobby with cheats you can -startgame or -gamestart, forgot which and it'll start right away. But yeah the last hit tutorial thing is nice, it might be finished for this week's patch too. It has the added benefit of showing you when to last hit, which is interesting when you're...

    Yeah GMG is a piece of shit, I preordered from them because when I tried it worked and I figured I'd get the reduction, but that was a month ago, it seems whenever there's some load on their servers or whatever, it just stops working entirely or rejects payment. Hell even when I ordered it...

    I guess that's just a weird designed item comparison. Anyway I compared a green weapon and a pink weapon from Hatali(the lvl 20 ones) and the green had like 2-3damage more, which is a pretty big difference(25 to 28 iirc). Other stats were identical. It might not be as apparent on armor because...

    The tank carbuncle is way way too tanky, it's completely unnecessary too, I was using the caster one most of the time because of the higher damage and never had a single issue. No other classes have a tanking pet and they do just fine, ACN gets a slow and a healer so not sure why they'd give...

    It's more than that though? People in shout were saying it's until 3PM GMT, which is in 3hours or so. I just logged off cause I'm pretty much done, cleared my inventory, repaired my shit, setup my bind, finished weaver/botanist/alchemy so nothing more to do until launch. Looking forward to it...

    Some screens from one of the new zones before I died to a sneaky mage attack. Music is insanely good there too. Side note, Pikachu can tank 5-6 hits of a lvl 47mob before dying.

    I wouldn't say the first 10 are the most important, but they're the ones you can work on improving the most so that's what you should focus on. Sometimes you'll get unbearable shit lanes for multiple reasons especially in pubs(shitty support single pulling and autoattacking/nuking the wave or...

    Quick synthesis is awful and unless you need low level materials shit for a higher recipe, you shouldn't be using it. Like say for one of the lvl 18 cotton armor recipe you need a hemp cloth thingie and I didn't have any so I used quick synth to make it faster(it wasn't much faster though since...

    Spreadsheet is slightly innacurate. Specifically, it's missing the 0:30 wave, so everything is off one wave. At 10mins on the ingame clock, there has been 82creeps spawn(60melees, 20ranged and 2 catapults at 3mins and 6:30) and a new wave with a catapult spawns with 5more creeps. So 82 is what...

    Oh damn I was cleaning up my inventory, getting ready for release. My first retainer is full and none of that shit is sorted too much of a hassle, I'll just wait for the sorting options.

    Well let's say, it's a decent mmo to play a couple weeks/months. It might be good on the long term assuming content generation is quick but that shit never happens so wouldn't hold my breath. Things to understand: - This isn't a new step for the mmo world, this isn't an evolution, this isn't...

    They said they're working on fixing it, but if they didn't they either a) don't want to force a maintenance when beta is already almost over b) haven't found how to fix it yet. Anyway, finished alchemy to 20, and managed to HQ the lvl 20 arcanist book right before(so no wasted xp). I kinda...

Got ACN/CNJ to 20, THM to 12, Botanist to 18, Alchemist to 18, gonna finish both of these before the down and Weaver to 10, probably gonna get to 15 before the down I have like a billion of cotton balls.

    You're not killing Furion solo as a support unless it's very early game, and even then it's not guaranteed, if he has his ult up he'll fuck you up. If you bring more people, you should have the damage to kill him. He's more likely to escape a solo gank with shadow blade than he is by...

    DPS while healing is like, you can cast one/two spell on pull, then you need to heal the tank some then once there's only one mob up, or two depending on the mob type, you can go back to DPSing. But when there's 3 mobs on the tank, or these big fuckers in the mines, you really can't afford to...

    Putting a reliance on his mana would be an interesting nerf. Currently Furion only has mana issues very early game, and only when he's spamming treants(which he can do with very little regen to begin with, which I don't think is very good design, Enigma or Lycan have huge mana issues and...

    Hmm the pet does what's listed, 3secs recast 90potency is a 75potency "normal" cast of 2.5recast, or you can count it as a 90potency dot. Regardless, it does solid damage, not counting the special attacks which have too long cds to really matter. I pointed out before that I tested it and as far...

    Ok after actually testing a bit more, FFXIVAPP KINDA parses dots. DoT information isn't actually displayed(at all, from my understanding), so it uses formulas and assume the dot runs its course and uses the damage formula with your current potency(which might be pulled from the initial hit) to...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    While soloing it's hard to waste potency on dots as I explained, since you can just pull another mob and let the dots run their courses. You can definitely use more than 2 dots as an ACN, in fact you should. On the nukes, you do 80 with Ruin and 75 with Gust, that's 155potency nukes, which is...

    Hmm my ACN definitely kills a lot faster than CNJ does. Sure Stone does more damage per hit but the pet+ruin is about the same DPS as Stone as far as I can tell, and the dots are quite a lot stronger. I could see it not being good in terms of raw DPS in dungeons and such though, the only aoe is...

    It's the usual 15$, less if you buy a bunch of months at once, but there's also an option to pay 13$ a month with a limit of 1character per server and 8chars total(instead of 8 per server and 40 total), which is pretty cool if you don't give a fuck about alts.

    Arcanist is way OP at soloing FATEs, there was the group FATE in Drybones with the linked cows that spawned so I go there and I'm alone cause it's 7AM, but I start anyway, figure I kill one cow, it gives me xp when the event fails due to time limit. Tank Carbuncle+healing+DPS no problem, then...

    Also from Reddit, UI stuff that's not obvious at all. In UI edit mode(ESC then HUD Layout or something), right click a window to hide it(can't hide everything sadly), Ctrl+Home to cycle through the scaling, it's 80% 100% 120% only, but you can make some stuff bigger this way(minimap, group etc)...

    Actually you need to do enough damage to get credit, while if you tag first I believe you always get credit(but not entirely sure on that).

    They have queues too, I guess they block the creation of chars until the queues go down and the other servers have decent load. The queues aren't very big it seems, but I did have a 10persons queue when I relogged in earlier.
