Yeah get a keyboard for chatting, it's a must really. DPS being subpar isn't too much of an issue while leveling, plus once you get used to the buttons positions and how the pad gameplay works, it really flows nicely. The 2.5GCD helps a lot with that, if it was wow's 1.5 it'd be a lot harder for...

You mean Rock and Roll Racing?

It's supposed to move you a short distance towards your target but if you change target during the animation, it'll accept any other target regardless of range. So you attack say a building or a creep, then immediately click on something else and you can move great distance, though it seems...

There's some on Ultros, but a lot are still doing Nthan. The xp penalty for being lower lvl is pretty rough from what I've tested, at 51, a Coerthas fate gave me 32k xp, a hinterlands lvl 52 fate gave me 29k xp, a churning mist 54 fate gave me 27k xp and I didn't try hinterlands, but it was...

The dungeons have some pretty good fights as you level up, though that also means in shit groups they're a pain. Vault last boss is probably the best dungeon boss fight in the expansion, mechanics wise, it does a lot of simple stuff that makes the fight kinda interesting. I guess technically the...

Almost every new materials has shit droprates for whatever reason. On top of that, every fucking combine takes like 5 of them(a few "only" take 3). And then the actual final items take 2 or 3 of the combined materials, it fucking sucks. On the other hand, I don't really care since I had a...

Endgame is, as far as I know, easier than the hardest wow setting stuff(heroic? I honestly don't fucking know what they call it nowadays), but it's still sufficiently hard that for most people outside the really hardcore players, it's a nice challenge. Wether or not it's better than wow I guess...

Well I think I see what you could have meant, is that stoneskin itself isn't useless, to WHMs. For SCH it kinda is though, and for AST it's a mixed bag, but I'd generally say it doesn't really matter. The spell really isn't that good that you absolutely need it. I'd say something like Awareness...

Yeah but like, if you're a WHM, you have stoneskin, because well, you're a WHM. The question is wether or not you lvl CNJ for the cross class if you play SCH or AST, as AST I could see it being kinda useful rarely if in Diurnal but on SCH it's pretty bad. In the case of T10, the only class that...

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...

Yeah they announced they added a FoV slider somewhere in an interview or some shit, which is good.

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...

Turn off antivirus/firewall.

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.

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...

Like a couple of weeks after they added lockstep yeah.

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...

They're not talking of an AI that replaced someone who left, but like someone running a 3rd party bot to farm games for gold while afk.

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.

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...
