Well, it only matters if you're in a min-maxxing hardcore raid. If you're not, don't worry about it. WHM/SCH comps got all of the world firsts, so WHM is still viable. It's just that AST is better. =P

LET IT BE WRITTEN THAT PATCH 3.07 WAS THE DAY THAT SQUARE ENIX FINALLY KILLED OFF WHITE MAGE AST/SCH is just so superior to WHM/SCH now, it's silly. AST/SCH was already amazing, but now it's even better.

According to statistics recently released by Square Enix on the last Letter from the Producer, the rarest classes are NIN, DRK, AST, and MCH... but I don't know how that holds up for only endgame play. WAR and SCH are the most-needed classes for endgame raiding, and will probably continue to be...

I'm gonna wear a big jacket, stuff it with confetti and wrapped candies, then jump off the Empire State Building.

Elysium and Lucrezia were both pissed last week because of the gear wall on that fight.

So what? This is FFXIV, not WoW. I hold it to a higher standard. Why rename it? ISIS is charming and I imagine it keeps out the softskins.

Okay, that's good, at least. Still, the game feels in a very strange place right now.

The new content coming in 3.1 seems... underwhelming. 2 new dungeons, one of which is Pharos Sirius HMNew 24-man, Void ArkMinion battle minigame, "Lords of Verminion"Airship ventures that take you and your FC members to an actual sky island for exploring and gatheringNew "relic weapon"...

I loved Dragonfall, but I didn't back Hong Kong because Dragonfall had some major gamebreaking bugs (like during Apex Rising) that HBS never fixed. I'm going to wait for reviews and watch their Steam forum for bug reports. If everything looks good, I'll buy it.

The better you know the fight, the better you can find out when to DPS. Take Savage A1, for example: Before the second Oppressor spawns, you can go full DPS, except for the Prey target; your other healer will probably need help with that.After the second Oppressor spawns, you can DPS until...

Always apply Bio II, Bio, and Shadow Flare first, because they can't miss. After that, try to get Miasma off, and if there's still more time, Broil, baby, Broil. Remember to Bane if you're doing AoE DPS.

The game is frozen while it's waiting for commands.

Only because they switched to Democracy, which is what ruined the original Twitch Plays Pokemon IMO. No reason to watch it now, it's basically just a really slow version of Dark Souls.

That video does nothing but inspire me. I'm totally using the "flip on your back to go reverse faster" trick from now on.

JESUS CHRIST ALMIGHTY A few of us from RR are gonna play tonight. Who here is PS4 and who here is Steam? There's no cross-platform partying yet, and if it doesn't get introduced soon, I'll probably buy Rocket League on my PS4 as well.

I need redo all of my reaction images with my MNK glamour. @_@

Twitch got themselves stuck in a menu because they managed to unbind the B button. The host intervened and loaded one of his personal saves. They're still stuck in the Undead Asylum.

They beat all six gens of Pokemon IIRC, but that's a turn-based RPG where you can level up infinitely and steamroll stuff. Dark Souls isn't.

The first "season" of TPP was amazing, but everything else rolled out directly after it came way too fast. Now it's just garbage.

Apparently it's impossible to find a DRG that does both good DPS and actually shows up to raid. Still looking for one if any of you know anyone. Raid time is W/Th 8pm-11pm PDT. Currently progressing A2S but will take anyone who has at least seen enrage on A1S.

It would be really fun to be able to play Dark Souls with a friend without losing them after going through every level, but sadly, that's not the kind of direction that Souls games are going to take.

I'm trying really hard to bring myself to beat Bloodborne, and I can't. The game is just so unsatisfying for me compared to DS1/DS2. I think part of the problem stems from the fact that the TV I play my PS4 on is at an awful height. (I played DS1 and DS2 on PC.) When I sit down, it's too high...

I might be going to StrategiCon in a month. Anything to look out for?

I'm doing about 1250 on a dummy as MNK in i189 with my i200 weapon, no food or pots. I really need to do a food + pots parse, though. And melee classes can't really parse longer than 3 minutes because we run out of TP. NIN and MNK both get TP starved at almost exactly 3 minutes.

Not if you want to get into Savage. With i190 weapon and full i180, you should be doing at least 1050 on a dummy.

There's a lot of tricks in Savage A1 for increasing DPS that weren't immediately apparent to me. The biggest one is when the adds pop. In Normie A1, you just pull the adds under the markers and kill them, but you can't do that in Savage, because a shot duration after adds spawn, Resin Bombs and...

Our old DRG was doing 1050 on the dummy, our new one does just over 1200. In actual combat, our old DRG would drop to around 780, and the new one is just under 1k.

Finally cleared A1 Savage tonight. I kicked my old DRG and got a new one who does about 200 more DPS, and our main PLD had to miss tonight so we got a sub who was doing about 50 more DPS. We were able to easily clear enrage with that boost. Pics in the spoiler below. Both the bosses died...

This. If it's not fun for you, just take off and play some other games until the next patch. Not many good MMOs on the market right now, but there's lots of other non-MMO games atm.

We're called "Final Fanboys," and I think based on what I've seen in the demo, it's going in the right direction. Combat feels FANTASTIC. Fluid weapon swapping, warping, dodging, riposting, and team attacks are great. Lock-on and changing abilities with the directional buttons seemed a bit...

Square Enix wanted to make an action-combat Final Fantasy game but realized that they had no idea how to do that. That's why it's been redone so many times. It's taken them ten years, but they've finally figured it out.

100%-Split: WHM solo heals, SCH DPSes. Missiles - Adds: WHM heals tanks and hits everyone with Medica II right before adds pop up, SCH is healing and DPSing Adds Spawn -> Resin Bombs -> Column AoEs: Healers are focusing on dodging and keeping tanks up. The pre-cast Medica II and fairy are...

Playing through the demo now and I'm enamoured with it. Can't wait for the full game!

Got A1 Savage down to 1% tonight. Hopefully we kill it tomorrow or I'm going to rip my hair out.

They're my favorite part of the game tbh. With the exception of Ramuh and Bismark, I like them more than almost all of the raids.

That... actually sounds really cool.

There's always a ton of Ravana Ex farms in PF- Oh, uh... good question.

I disagree with this. Leveling crafting classes is AIDS. Leves are the only thing that make it bearable (since crafting collectables don't give much EXP). Agree with all of these. I feel like they're useful if you're leveling up classes after your main class. As a CUL, I completely disagree with...

Having better gear will only slightly widen the window of perfection required, anyways. Most people still won't be able to clear it. (Only 5-10% of players on any NA/EU server were able to clear FCoB, even with 15% Echo.)
