    Stoneskin is shit, and you definitely don't need it if you don't want to lvl CNJ. The amount it blocks on non tanks is completely trivial and won't help for shit so wasting time stoneskinning people prefight is worthless(unless you're a WHM, then you just cast a single spell so why not) and on...

    Oh base is 5, that sucks. Used to be like 10 for adventurer stuff.

    You get more than the base amount if you're higher ilvl, but not sure you can gear stuff with high enough ilvl atm to get past the first tier. My combat retainer is sadly like 30, when Heavensward started, I thought "meh I'm not gonna play my monk so I'm gonna respec my retainer", then 3days...

    Stupid maintenance, guess a major exploit was found or something. Maybe something with the weekly resets, kinda sucks though.

    Can probably fix it by going through a VPN that will route you in a less shitty way to the servers, there's a bunch of services that do that but generally have to pay. It's not really square's fault, other than having their servers in canada.

    That's a FC buff. FCs can run 2 buffs every 24hours(well at max rank), it's like 30% reduced teleport costs, 15%battle or craft or gather xp, +control/gather/craftsmanship/perception, longer food buffs, better chocobo xp, faster spiritbinding, less duration on the rez weakness and some other...

    Yeah I guess but it's like such a minor ilvl bump, I don't think it'd have a large impact at all, especially since it's like 2pieces or so. If they had weapons that'd be another story but otherwise I wouldn't bother, or if it was like a static goal, I would think the static would do the runs...

    It can be pretty awful, PF that farms is a good way to get drops, I got A1 and A4 like this, A2 and A3 I got on my first run through. I just roll on everything though, don't give a fuck about what I get, I have many different classes to gear and esoterics to fill in the other slots, so no reason...

    I got all of them, not sure what reqs you mean, but they're not like the original master books at all. Now you need scrips for them, you get scrips by crafting items as collectable(it's a toggle lvl 50 skill), Rowena only accepts specific items every day, only 56+ items give scrips and there's...

    Grats, I haven't touched fishing yet personally. Got 4/8 crafts at cap, the rest at 53(fucking armorer daillies)-56, got all the master books already and gathers are 57. I have a lot more combat stuff done though, I've gotten AST to 60, Monk to 60, PLD to 55 and SCH to 57 and then DRK/MCH to...

    The only spec I alt tabbed without TP on was summoner stuff, the zombies can generally clean up whatever aggros np, but yeah I've seen weird shit where you just stand in one place for 10mins, and then suddenly something aggros. I guess stuff wanders pretty far from their spawn point or whatever.

    Hmm there should be necrovigil, it was rolled in the base game, was nerfed to be smaller though.

    The problem of HW fates isn't the distance, it's the fact they're HW mobs so have a lot more base health, yet reward the same xp as N Than fates, or a bit more. Generally in terms of xp/hour it's not worth it versus old world fates, which kinda sucks. They aknowledged it though, so they might...

    The game's pretty easy at first but you'll probably hit a wall at some point, probably around act3. Casters are a lot easier to play at first I think, melees require a decent amount of optimization to be viable.

    I'm not sure what you mean by target switching, it's the same as other classes? Positionning can be annoying but if you lock the target, you can like strafe very easily while still facing the mob, which actually makes it very easy to do on a pad versus having to mouse look adjust while strafing...

    People will run current content until new content is added, which won't be until september-ish, so you have time to get everything decked out in law gear. Statics get made all the time and Ravanah will still be needed for an easy i190 weapon(I assume esoterics weapon will be tied to savage drop...

    It takes a while getting used to, and tbh I wouldn't ever want to heal on a pad, but the rest works out pretty fine, especially if you play certain easier classes and what not. Note that buying the base game on PS4, assuming you don't have it, comes with a free month. So you wouldn't need to...

    Glamours and cosmetics are part of it though. You can just make them yourself at a fraction of the cost if you get your crafting up. Mind you, you don't have to participate to make money. There's monsters that drop materials that are relatively valuable(especially now, though it'll drop over...

    Was gunner gender locked? I know it was locked to elf and castani, but thought it was any gender? If it's race locked then the ones oyu mentionned make sense I guess. Not a huge fan of these races though, hell for a melee based class like this, I think I'd like Elin or Popori, because of the...

    Well, in the past, crafters make certain BiS accessories or the best progression accessories. Reason is either terrible uneven stat weight(for example in 2.0, bards really wanted crit above everything else, and the accessories were loaded with shitty skillspeed/accuracy they didn't need instead...

    That's july in korea right, so I guess next year over here at best. Though the design interest me a lot more than the gunner stuff, I'd probably start playing again to check that out.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    There's an option to clear target if you click somewhere else, forgot where but you should probably check that out. You can't use 2 abilities at the same time, they generally have to play short animations first(they can be played during the GCD of another skill, but you generally can only fit...

    Yeah I've been trying to pug Bismark EX but no luck so far, most of the DPS are terrible and whenever I get semi decent DPS, they still can't do the other mechanics(like don't fucking stack on me/the tank during lightning, stand in the center during wind). Best I've gotten was 11%, and I was...

    Well next tuesday they're releasing Alex normal, which should be a fairly easy raid. Then 2weeks later, they're released Savage Alex which will be like typical hard mode raid stuff, as well as esoterics tomes for everyone else. After that, you'll probably have to wait for 2.1 to actually get new...

    Well they ran WHM/SCH for the first 60 content cause it'd be faster to get the WHM/SCH to 60 first than do AST, I assume, doesn't mean they won't run AST for the rest. I'd be kinda surprised if they replaced WHM with AST. And I don't see anyone replacing SCH with AST, this is a net loss in every...

    Party finder used to be the place, but haven't seen much since heavensward. I assume most people aren't in a hurry to make statics until savage alex anyway.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Yeah but you have to remember T13 didn't have WHM with instant heals(which they got 2 of), so it was all lustrates, plus lustrates were shit on non tanks due to being % based, which now they aren't. For it to be worth it, you need to cast several heals while moving, and that's very infrequent...

    Reddit is on fire

    Because to do that, they have to remove all the mods, and then they actually need to replace them and keep that shit moderated or it'll be a massive mess that will end up on the front page, which will just make things even worse than they are now. At least now the front page isn't too bad(at...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    On easier content probably, but the lack of Divine Seal/that other speed cooldown/Benediction is a huge problem for a main healer, in my opinion. That's the main issue with AST, cards are ok, but not really that great, obviously RNG based, but even getting the right cards you only end up getting...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    It's alright, but objectively the worse healer out of the 3. It's not like far behind so you can clear everything with an AST, but there isn't much of a reason to bring an AST over the other 2 healers other than "we need a healer". Realistically if you want to raid, you'd want to roll WHM or...

    Only specific mobs have specific drops, everything else drops nothing/small amounts of money. Temple leves aren't worth doing unless you just want to burn through your leves quickly.

    Yeah there's some Johanna's items, but technically the DH and Crusader are Valla and Johanna, those are the cannon classes in D3, so it isn't really a HotS thing, they just probably went back to do it now that the chars are better known.

    Unless you're getting carried by your static, you shouldn't hold off on your weapon just because there's a better one. You might have to kill ravanah EX 10times before you get your weapon, and you'll be doing substantially less damage the entire time. There's just no reason to skip it, you're...

    If you're 60 and still want Law, then don't bother with the 50 dungeons. Once you get bored or whatever though it's a nice thing to do, plus it's decent xp if you decide to level another class. Just no hurry, it's only 100law, a 60 dungeon is 80law without bonus and 120 with it, so no real...

    In general, set bonus are changed on existing items when they change it, but legendary effects aren't, so assume it's the same.
