    RDM would work fine too, it's not really twitchy, it has shorter cast time but it's still long enough that it doesn't matter. I guess the melee combo is pretty fast by FFXIV standards but since you don't need to weave much in it(sometimes your oGCDs, but only when they line up which is not...

    Well ShB is pretty far off so you'd have time even doing the MSQ. You should definitely keep the HW MSQ for leveling though, and then buy a skip if you really don't care about the rest once 60. Also not sure if you've been using it already but you should preorder ShB to get the xp earring.

    There's an ARR only story skip potion iirc, and it only skips to the first HW quest, basically the same as if you did everything in 2.x and HW just released. That's what you want if you don't want to grind through all the ARR shit. Past that get to 60 and complete 3.0 MSQ first and then buy the...

    Ghymlit is really really easy though. The trash does no damage and the bosses are fairly simple. Honestly the arborium or whatever dungeon that's also in expert is much harder imo, trash hurts a fair bit and the boss have mechanics that seem to confuse idiots really bad or people just don't...

    I want to say it's like wow, the solo game is so simple you don't learn much, and some people are just really fucking bad. For the DPS single targetting stuff it shouldn't be too much of an issue if you just overpower once or twice more or just change target to them too. You'll definitely see...

    Yeah warriors are the only ones who can pull trash in DPS stance and hold the mobs properly against a competent DPS aoeing too, and even then I wouldn't. The issue isn't even just threat, it's the fact trash mobs is a lot of incoming damage in a constant stream, which is very different than...

    Btw on the subject of MGP and the car next week, this week's Fashion report is stupidly easy, you basically need 2 vendor items for a whooping 400g, Hempen Chausses and Amateur Thighboots. In case people haven't done fashion report, you just go there with gear in every slot and you either use...

    Honestly not sure how useful that'd be versus just using a normal movement skill. Melee doesn't have issues in that regard, due to having high attack speed, they can use both leapslam and whirling blades and easily beat most ranged classes in terms of "movement" speed. The pull would be super...

    Cyclone most likely? Not sure what tag though. There's also Blade Flurry which I think isn't technically channelled atm? Could be something else obviously. If they did make Cyclone into a channelled while moving skill instead of the D2 click to move system though, that shit would feel a lot...

    There was a reddit post yesterday about this on the front page, like how they shouldn't just tweak numbers for melee skills but look in depth into the melee mechanics and how a lot of this shit feels bad, so it's nice they are actually looking into it. Honestly, besides a few really bad melee...

    I mean it's the same for all 2FA shit, always note down the removal password somewhere and that fixes all your issues. Everytime people complain about this, it's because they "lost" or "don't have" the removal password, when the whole point of the removal password is to avoid these situations...

    General rules imo for tanking in dungeons: Trash packs: Always tank stance. There are some fringe cases for DPS stance, but generally only if you can only pull one pack or whatever, or you're vastly overgeared(dungeons that aren't item level synced at old caps for example, especially when trash...

    Level skips come with a set of Shire gear(lvl 60 tome gear), but not sure story skips come with anything. Not sure what lvl you are, but generally you shouldn't have to actually buy much gear, especially past 50. Ironworks and Shire use Poetics tomestones, which is an "endgame" currency, only...

    Kill speed isn't really the tank, but pull speed is. Generally every dungeon past ARR leveling is designed to be pulled several packs at a time, quite often "wall to wall", which is basically sprint and aggro everything you can until you can't progress anymore(door closed, rocks, whatever...

    Nael still is pretty expensive. Bahamut less so, since you can solo him. You technically can solo Nael, but shit's a fucking pain in the ass and is for now limited to just one job, summoner(and decked out summoner only). Come next expansion though it should be doable with summoner and scholar...

    You see how the ARR story ends just fine? The cutscene and general coil story is about 1.0 ending, which is also the intro cutscene. It's about what happened inbetween, before ARR starts. It has very little impact on the rest of the story like most side content, there are some references here...

    I mean beastiary is just free money, it's fine the way it is, and the crafting thing is useful if only for flask crafting, or getting corrupted items without potentially fucking them with the quality recipes. They could potentially do something similar for Synthesis, just have random spawned...

    HoH didn't ship with SB, they added it later, 4.1 or 4.2. I know cause I leveled every class to 70 before it was added so now I have to grind it on max lvl chars to max my level shit for ShB release. And generally speaking, it's a fine place to level in other than dungeons, and unlike dungeons...

    Technically, unless you plan on using the actual relic for stuff, you can skip the Pyros light step entirely, since it's only for rollings stats on your relic, if you skip it, you'll have a blank weapon(so garbage), but it works just fine for glamouring over a tome, omega or seiryu weapon, and...

    You only need 2 of a given category to unlock the roulette. I did that for a bit to farm poetics on my 2nd account with Laby+Syrcus, no World of Darkness and nothing else. The thing is you can't "relock" dungeons, and you unlock a bunch via the MSQ anyway, so those roulettes get fucked. Only...

    It's because there's a million dungeons released in this game. Just need to go through the list, do each dungeon once and they'll start disapearing really quickly, and you'll get a shitton of poetics to buy various classes 50 and 60 gear. I forgot the exact numbers but there's like 20+ dungeons...

    Oh yeah Paladin is another one, but I find it easier to setup still than SCH, but it's pretty bad with all the cooldowns. I do think PLD will get some consolidated cooldowns, but I think they'll probably also use the gauge more when they rework Clemency/Holy Spirit mechanics. The class should...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I kinda expect SCH is going to get some pretty big changes too, the class is bloated as fuck in terms of skills, you just can't fit new shit on that class without removing a bunch of stuff, but everything has a place and is useful sometimes, so I think it's going to get some streamlining and...

    Allegedly, iirc. Although his "defense" wasn't particularily reassuring. Also some shit about scamming money, or being scammed of money, or both I forgot. Shitshow from a couple years ago iirc.

    Well it's still optional. It doesn't mean the optional content isn't worth doing, there's a lot of side stories that are really interesting and well done. Still is optional in the sense you don't have to do them to keep doing the MSQ and unlock new stuff, but the original Coil, the current...

    It's about flashes I'd assume, it's a cave after all so it's probably dark enough that phones default to flashes and fuck everything up. Could just be some scheme to sell cards instead if it's just any photo though.

    I think there's plenty of decent new designs. For example on casters I use the Bonewicca set, shit's pretty awesome other than clipping issues with certain animations. For the others I use older designs though but I don't vary much, my tank set is World of Darkness gear(I think), Healer is also...

    Many sets are already limited like that though. The ninja set is often a recolor/slightly modified brd/mch gear, and DRG often gets recolored/slightly modified tank stuff. Not all sets, I think 8man raiding sets are still unique, but look at the 24man stuff for example, there's not that many...

    As far as I've tested(and it's little), it's basically undoable as a summoner, because it uses pvp rules and they made minions specifically garbage in pvp to prevent "boring" gameplay or whatever. Basically a bunch of the masters you'll just stomp, and then some will start shitting permanent...

    I've seen people use it for Uber Elder so it shouldn't be that bad, although might requires some +lvl shit. And for bossing a bunch of people tend to switch gems(slow proj and what not).

    There's a bit of RNG sometimes depending on how your buff drop line up with his attack. Try to find 3 balls close together and pop sprint to reduce the amount of time needed. Alternatively not sure about DPS reqs, but you could over stacking several times instead of trying to let it reset. If...

    As a RDM not sure, I did it a few times on PLD until it dropped. Mostly pick up balls so you get the buff so you don't get murdererd by his nuke, refresh it, then heal to full before you let it drop and get 3 more. Should be fairly doable since RDM has more damage than PLD so the fight is...

    You can do it on elite too, since all the bags are unlocked in normal. It also gives you the attribute and skill points from each difficulty you unlock, as well as all waypoints(so even though you still have to do the quests to progress the story, you can teleport all around the place and...

    RDM is great for solo questing and all that since they have fast casts and high burst with low cd, like beast daillies are so much faster on RDM than other classes since you can generally "one shot" mobs with a nuke+fast cast nuke+one of the 2 instants(both on stronger mobs), and Fleche is up...
