    Surely that pic above isn’t their raid comp. Two white mages, two red mages,, bard and machinist?

    Absolutely. It is annoying. I’ve played BLM since ARR as my main job. It is easier now than it’s ever been, in my opinion. The transpose cooldown and the umbral heart move just make it so much more forgiving. The better you know the fight, the better you’re going to perform on BLM. That’s why...

    Black Mage really isn’t complicated. Maintaining Enochian once you get it is really the only “tricky” part, and now that transpose is on a 3 second cooldown it’s almost fool proof. That said, I did embarrass myself pretty thoroughly on the last boss of Dalriada a couple days ago, felt like I...

    I leveled GNB from 71-80 in Bozja. Am just getting started on the “second one time grind” for resistance weapon, and am kicking myself for not having another job up to 71 for this Zandor grind. Probably going to put the resistance weapon on hold for a day or two so I can take RDM from 60-71...

    I think the super long cast on Slaughter and Prelude to Slaughter fuck people up.

    The Vulnerability debuff that normally lasts for a minute on anyone it is applied to, seems to be only lasting for 3 seconds on these guys in Amson's group? I dunno, been a while since I did sync'd ARR primals, but I thought any time you got hit by Vulnerability debuff it lasted for a minute and...

    Ok, so I wanted to watch Asmon kill Ifrit extreme... I'm watching these attempts. WTF is up with Vulnerability only lasting like 5 seconds?

    They do change that at expansion launch.

    Wonder if the queues on Gilg are a result of being on the same date center as Cactaur with Asmongold? I know gilg is pretty populated anyhow though so maybe not.

    Hmm, looks more like a Fire V than a new Flare to me. No need for more flares or fouls. I think maybe it'll be a new Fire that you cast right before or after Despair, before going back into Umbral Ice.

    Yea, I understand that. Like I said, I really like being able to be flexible and do either shield or regen. I mean, that and the “RNG card dynamic” were the reasons I wanted to play the class in the first place.

    I doubt they’ll make the cards more interesting. They just changed them to the bland effects they have now for ShB. I’m disappointed to hear they’re making AST more like a white mage, I hadn’t read that anywhere, but also don’t follow much on xiv other than in this thread. I really like the...

    I usually anticipate 30 minutes when they give the warning.

    Dragoon is awesome. Downside is that even knowing every DRG blames his jumps for his deaths, it’s still really easy to make the same mistake yourself.

    The cards were a lot more fun before they changed them. Used to be they had different effects, such as The Arrow giving spell speed, so it was really cool to get that one on BLM for instance. I’m curious what’s more fun on SCH than AST? Aren’t you just dotting, healing, and casting DDs when not...

    Hmm, I’ve always found healer to be the easiest of the three roles. Maybe that’s because my primary dps role is BLM and that one can be pretty stressful. I usually feel pretty comfortable healing though.
