    Bismarck and Ravana Ex are both very challenging. (Ravana especially is extremely unforgiving.)

    Being able to heal while moving is actually an amazing benefit and can be used to trivialize some mechanics. For example, think about Megaflare Dives from T13 (or just Megaflare in general). If one of the people that got the marker took damage from a random splash flare or one of the...

    Spear is an amazing card, why would you ever Royal Road that? Give it to a Dragoon, Ninja, or Summoner and their DPS will spike pretty significantly after it wears off. If you don't have any of those, you can give it to yourself for more emergency heals or more cards. If you're going to RR...

    I disagree with this completely. Benefic might have 20 less potency and the class might have less "oh shit" buttons, but as long as the healer isn't retarded, ASTs are amazing. Cards are fantastic and I would always prefer to have an AST over a WHM.

    Greece - A New Hope

    The Mexicans that clean my house and do all of the yardwork are fantastic. Always in great spirits, get the job done well and quick, and very friendly (though it's not like I'm flluent enough in Spanish to have any conversation with them that's more meaningful than small talk). They don't...

    It won't, because they don't give a shit. During contract negotiations with XLGames for publishing ArcheAge, they were FULLY AWARE of all of the problems with the game, because for a whole year the international ArcheAge community (which I was a visible figure of) had been presenting them with...

    I read MSQ and job quest dialogue and watch MSQ and job quest cutscenes, but I skip almost all of the dialogue for sidequests with the exception of actual storylines (like the CT and Coil quest lines.) The post-50 pizza delivery quests are cancer and I can't believe most of them weren't cut...

    You have to unlock Hunts through Grand Company first, I think. You need to be a certain rank and then grab the quest from your GC HQ. Youmightget bonus Law tomes for running those High Level dungeons for your first time on your level 60 character. I'm not positive. But if you have the time...

    He's a good senior producer, but he's a terrible CEO. While he was producing EQ2/Rift, I really enjoyed those games. That being said, I've disagreed with almost every business decision he's made at Trion since he came back as CEO. He makes the company money, yes, but the games are terrible...

    Eh... Careful Synthesis I isn't good IMO. At level 50, WVR gets Careful Synthesis II, which can be a game-changer. (120% progress, 100% success, 0 CP).

    AFAIK, the amber only comes from Temple Leves, but I could be wrong. Yes, you get double the EXP for an HQ item. At level 50 it's not going to be much, but as soon as you hit 51, it's going to spike up.

    Press Ctrl + U to access your Timers window, then click on "Supply and Provisioning." Bring those items to the office at your GC HQ. There is no quest, you just give those items to the officer at the HQ.

    So I personally haven't done it (on account of having to level MNK right now), but from what I've gathered from friends and guildmates, this is sort of what you want to do when you hit 60: KRIP'S GUIDE TO GETTING READY FOR ALEXANDER NORMIE Complete the levl 60 MSQs and your level 60 job...

    I don't think they got the utility they needed to stay relevant for cutting-edge progression. My initial thought while playing one at E3 was that their damage was gonna be too low, but having played one at home now I really don't feel like that is the case; their damage is on-par with MNK. I was...

    After being disappointed with NIN at 60, I've been doing nothing but grinding out MNK for the past two days. Went from 17-48 doing almost nothing but FATEs in N. Thal. Help.

    Hodj was cool to me in the Religion (read: Dogpile on Anyone who is Religious) thread. Also, traps aren't gay.

    Wait, what am I witnessing? I didn't see the actual events; I just read the defense. What do you want me to say at the witness stand? "I read a_skeleton_03's defense and didn't see a problem. Also, traps aren't gay."

    As a casual onlooker, having read a_skeleton_03's defense and not being present at the actual situation, a_skeleton_03 sounds pretty alright to me.

    Sadly, that's the case with all abilities in FFXIV; they have to wait for the animation on the last ability to finish before they can do a new one.
