    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...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    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.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    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...

    Epic Games Storefront - A Good Incentive for Piracy

    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.

    It's balance based on current feedback. While it's possible some things in Savage might change how classes are perceived, for the most part it'll just be the same.

    They'll do both probably. I think WHM's Glare potency is getting nerfed to 290, maybe 280 if they're feeling retarded, while AST is going to get a lot of potency increases across the board, probably 10 on Malefic at least and then all their shitty oGCD heals will get some. That's my expectation...

    The issue is very often the OT is the retard. They only have one job basically but they somehow fuck it up consistently. Almost done farming extreme fights, I did 20kills of Titania and done with that, got PLD/SCH/MNK weapons as drops and bought BLM cause it wasn't dropping, still have 10...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Tbh at 80 BLM can afford quite a lot of movement, if it's planned. For example on Titania I don't mind doing tethers(and I'm always assigned a number anyway, yesterday one guy whined about it how the BLMs shouldn't do it but I said I didn't care). Depending on where exactly in my rotation I am...

    Because the higher you select, the more skill people have, so some classes change in ranking depending on their skill ceilling/floor. At the bottom percentile, the dumbest classes do as much DPS because people are fucking awful, at the highest, it's purely the class potential that defines the...

    "3pixels". Some of them are way way off position, pic included. Like the boss is literally on a side rune, so neither back or the other side rune can melee without moving off their runes. Shit takes like 3 steps to reposition too, you just drag it back in the center then go back to your rune...
  28. Pyros

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    It was mostly during first mist runes where for some reason the boss wouldn't be in the center because you got hit by purple aoe or moved around or whatever, and then seeing people not being able to melee the damn boss cause it's completely off position even though you have like 12seconds to...

    Looks about standard for a learning/practice party, lots of people who clearly never stepped inside. You do a lot of fuckups too and god would I be raging if you were in my group when I'm on melee and you'd position the boss like you do. I watched a couple of the first runs and then a couple of...

    Did you autoupdate windows/gfx drivers? Reverting that shit might help.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    That's another thing they kinda fucked up, the HW unlocks are pretty bad. They corrected that after but HW stuff is still fucked, you can't get your HW skills withou going to Ishgard even though you will definitely hit 52 before that(can even hit like close to 60 with Road to 70) and you can't...

    They said they're bringing back Diadem shit so that'll probably replace Eureka. They should fix Eureka somehow though so people can do their relics/farm their dyable AF since currently it's pretty dead content and you need to organize stuff to get it done.

    The chocobo run is slower but you can afk. If you're on PC and especially on a SSD though, the Limsa way is like 50secs faster or something, which is quite a bit.

    It's not THAT much of a problem or they would have made it a priority, but yeah they'll eventually have to do something. With the New Game + shit they might actually have some new tech they can use to do stuff that lets people temporarily skip the MSQ or whatever. That said if you were a cynic...

    You can transpose, but you also shouldn't hesitate to swiftcast Fire I. If you're REALLY late with the swiftcast delay you won't make it, but if you're like 1.5-2secs left you can easily make it, and it way less disruptive than transpose, especially if you get lucky and proc a firestarter. Also...

    Na it's like 45mins then another 15-20mins with a break between the 2 iirc. You can also go afk midway as long as you don't have autoscrolling(can turn it off).

    On the trust question from earlier, you do get materias from the chests(like the 1st chest after 1st boss), but you don't get them as random drops, or I was super unlucky. So not worth it for materias pretty much although I guess if you bot it you could get like 6 an hour or something.

    I did the 80 dungeon with trusts but honestly can't remember anything about loot. My trusts are 1dungeon away from 80 so I'll tell you in a couple of hours if you don't find an answer. I assume droprates are massively reduced however. Generally the main issue would be, launch it in admin mode...
