    I do this shit all the time, how else am I going to learn how to play the class in 8man. Mind you I put a minimum of effort into knowing the class first, but my first Titania MT run was... interesting. I was trying to remember when the tank busters were and got hit by the very first pink aoe...

    There's some real trap farm parties though, but you can generally tell pretty quick.

    They've shown a bunch of gameplay already? Literally linked last page?

    I don't know every game that had that also had bots who could break it cause it was implemented poorly enough. Yeah he just retarded. You're supposed to taunt during the cast, unless it's one of the few tankbusters that retarget at the end(there's a couple iirc). For innocence you definitely...

    Probably Spriggan. I believe bots just made all their new accounts on that since it's Preferred and new(so they had no queues), but now they're shitting up the server.

    Yeah anything works. You can spam a random key+mouse to get it done even faster too. Honestly shit's really pointless so it's good they don't abuse it. It's neat visually but otherwise sucks. I kinda wish they had more of the Alexander one where you have to press the button to jump off, but...

    I mentionned it a long while ago but yeah the turn automatically shit will make you turn if you try to use skills while running sometimes, UNLESS you use legacy controls, then it works fine. It got me to switch. I couldn't be bothered mouse snapping backwards to hit a GCD right as I was getting...

    Aapoak, in west caliban in The Tempest. Have to fish eyes mooch for it during certain hours and weather, but it's a shit ton of scrips. Remember collector gloves.

    Oh didn't notice it had weird conditions. Made me check the tracker webpage though and seems it's updated with 5.0 so I'll just check that out to go fish it whenever. I'll try to get it tomorrow still but if I don't it's ok I'll stock a few for later, even not starred it should pay a good amount...

    Oh shit I got the big fish starred collectible, I need to craft some gathering gear and get that shit done. 1990 white scrips per catch, need to catch a few of these fucks before the reset tomorrow. Ironically also got the first alchemy starred turn in at the same fucking time, so I'll try to...

    Oh I see it's a real bot, thought it was like pseudo afk bot. Meh I enjoy the leveling process for the most part, I just don't like this trust lvling shit, once I'm done with these 2 chars leveling these guys I won't touch the others until they nerf xp/add a challenge log to it, shit takes too...

    I don't bot them but I kinda afk through the dungeons on half the runs, just move to next pack every now and then. The bosses are annoying though, if you don't play tank, you kinda have to do them, not sure how your friend bots them. Like you get hit by too many stack vulns and just die to...

    It's not that ACT gets you banned, it doesn't. It's that it's technically against the ToS, and while it's tolerated, using it to diss other people isn't(well to their face at least). It isn't really different than the usual harassment rules though, don't be a dick to people because if they...

    Yeah, I did the raids right at release, smooth clears, only wiped to the "ah gotcha that's an instant wipe" mechanics. But then I was checking some streams a few hours later and people were dying over and over in E4N and E2N for example, and it looked awful. The first fight is stupidly easy...

    You can do normals with min ilvl, nothing hits really that hard, unless you're trying to solo tank last boss or whatever. Extremes you need the ilvl to enter but that's about it, shit doesn't hit hard either. Honestly pretty sure you can hit 80, run each 80 dungeons once, buy a ring and then...

    I mean there's some story, but not that much interesting stuff, the filler part is more how they'll ask you to go gather some shit to do the thing, while later they just go "ok let's use this thing I had in my pocket to do this" and you just do the stuff instead, if that makes sense. There's a...

    You should have plenty of "new" dungeons to clear at 50 if you want a change of pace, 50 was crazy with dungeon releases, motherfuckers were doing 3 dungeons every patch so there's 17dungeons at cap or whatever. A few are story so can't do without MSQ but most should be playable right away. The...

    Cleared the new raid, very easy on normal but still fun mechanics. Fights are pretty cool. I like the change to gear drops too, way less cancer, 8drops that include every slot in every floor means you can get chest or legs in one week and that it won't take 25runs of each floor for it. Sadly I'm...

    Not surprising, although the Art of War mp cost reduction is a very welcome change for QoL dungeons.

    HoH is shit, caps at 69 xp so it scales like garbage past 71-72. Just dungeons, FATEs during queues, and roulettes. Queues are pretty quick even for DPS atm, at least on my datacenter I often get 10mins or less queue, sometimes only 1-2mins for ShB dungeons.

    In the reddit post about it there were apparently quite a few chinese comments about how disgusting it was, with one comparing it to kissing a morbol, so yeah. I mean vegan shit can be good, but mushroom burger definitely doesn't sound like it. I'm biased since I don't really like mushrooms to...

    Well tanks share gear so being geared on 2 is more or less the same as one, besides the lvling. Just need an additional weapon but you can just use 10tokens to buy it. She is, but not very much so. Just mistakes are most costly on it, if you fuck up tethers you can kill someone else too, if too...

    I mean you still have over 2 weeks to be ready for Savage if that's what you want, it's not like there's a big hurry to run EX fights asap(although clear rate in pubs tends to go down over time I guess).

    Oh they love their twists, there's a twist every other patch, which is why you can easily get spoilers on the story. Not a big issue if you don't care but kinda sucks if you do. And yeah post ARR is super long. The quest themselves are fairly short, but there's still a shit ton of them, and a...

    They were just a dot before too, just a dot that could somehow be removed because the boss spammed too many dots(because their mitigation didn't seem to work on that) or cleaved them.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    They did the same thing in SB though, just you had to finish your class quest, and then you're given a full set of 290 armor+weapon for it, even though the dungeon before was like 279. Same case here, last leveling dungeon is 418, but they give you full 430 armor once you hit 80.
  27. Pyros

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Once you do the MSQ with the role quest, he unlocks all the armor for that role that you have at 80. He even tells you before you leave. You just talk to him and get all that shit.

    FFlogs lets you see the general damage output of classes, with some padding included. There isn't much more currently since the first raid tier isn't out, nor is the first round of balance. From my experience, I'd say: Tanks are pretty balanced, I believe DRK is boring as all fuck due to a...

    Oh yellows I don't really need, although I guess you can overmeld VIIs if you have a shit ton, but I generally do cheap melds and the lower ones will meld more easily too. Tinctures sound annoying, the sands are still kinda expensive. I do have gatherers, but I also don't like gathering large...

    Haven't done the quest but you can search Garland for NPCs and see what gear they have. Assuming that's Vitus Quo Messala, his weapon says Custom.

    Which one is it exactly that gives a ton so I stock up on mats beforehand? I've been having only potions and those are only 100 and require 2 sands each and I got inks a bunch but those are only 20. Is it inks? It's the only ALC craft that doesn't require a bunch of stupid mats, the amount is...

    Yeah they could do that, add the books, add the new map dungeon, but the starred combat crafts wouldn't be in the books until then. Guess I should start saving daily maps until tuesday in case of. Leveling been going smoothly, got PLD to 80 so now I have all 3 roles(DNC, SCH and PLD), leveling...

    The "raids" in the technical term in this game are side stories, not related to the MSQ. You will have Trials however, which are 8man single boss encounters. You will get A LOT of these once you reach ~50. They're mixed with story dungeons and then the solo instance stuff(which they do more of...

    Armory works on everything. Earrings only work on kill xp, which you get none of in potd/hoh. It's only really good in dungeons, anywhere else you get your xp from sources that aren't affected(FATEs is 99% from the FATE completion, quests 99% from the quest turn in,, HoH/potd 100% from the end...

    Yeah k didn't know if they did some quest where they talk about their "ancestors" and how they wore no masks and were called Tarutarus or whatever. I should probably do some sidequests at a point but currently DPS queues are kinda fast so I rarely get to do much, so I'd rather do one or two...

    It's not really every mob. It's a lot for sure, but a lot are originals. But yeah they reuse a lot of FFXI mob models, saves costs I guess and it's new enough for most people, while being a nice callback for others. Also the race names on the First aren't only FFXI names. Some are reference...

    No it doesn't, it's not even close. Like yeah you can get under 80% for a few seconds depending on how you time your lucid and aetherflow early in the pull(and you kinda want to put aetherflow on cd right away), but once they cool down and you're at ~75% and pop them, you'll go back to full. So...
