    Yeah they'll have more jobs per classes, even though I'm not too sure how it's going to work yet since currently jobs use the same weapon types as their base class but to add most of the obvious classes, they'll need to change that. Assuming they decide to change though, stuff that could easily...

    DPS isn't that bad actually, it's not as good but once you get Stone 2 and for like a dozen of levels, you kill stuff single target faster than a THM can(until they get Fire 3 which is like 32 or 34). It's not stellar but it's adequate, just the fact you only spam one spell is horribly boring...

    Well as far as I've seen grouping seems faster xp than soloing if you have a decent group. Mobs in dungeons die about as fast as solo mobs, but give about 5times more xp, which easily makes up for quests(which are not very abundant anyway), and if you're aoe spamming they die even faster...

    I don't think anything wins vs OD in mid without ganks, prison is just too good at buffing his damage, removing all mana from the enemy and making them miss last hits. The issue is what you can do with an OD. I mean, if you get to sit mid for 20mins you'll roll people no problem and that happens...

    You can only sync down for duty(instanced quest shit), guildleves/hests and dungeons, and well FATE if you run into one. But really that's basically all group content, you just can't sync down to do normal quests with a friend. And leveling additional classes is fine up to lvl 15 or so, but...

    They said in one of the dev thing that they made some of the dungeons in the original game into group based open areas with larger scale FATE(public quests), so there should be. I didn't see any though but I didn't lvl that much, only got to 22.

    You don't redo the main quests regardless, like you can't. You can only do one main quest, the one you start in. When you go to another starting zone, you can only do the class quests there for your new class, as well as the normal quests, but you only ever do the main quest once, in fact it...

    You don't redo the main story quests though. I guess you can grind dungeons but I don't know if it'll be that easy to find groups. However, it should be noted that the way they are currently balanced, you can complete the content without a CNJ, as long as multiple people have Cure slotted(and...

    Well I haven't compared DPS to many other classes but THM outdmg CNJ easily, no question there, so don't know about raping people. The DPS is good though, it's just BORING AS FUCK, I didn't say it was hard or bad, just boring. Pressing one button, regardless of how good the button is, is boring...

    The CNJ weren't interesting either, but they were tuned hard enough that there's a bunch of whining on the forums about how they're "impossible". Same for THM tbh. There's a lot of bitching about one where you apparently just have to sleep 2 mobs and run past them... Anyway overall I liked...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I've found the personnal quests and shit to be fairly tightly tuned. Not like super super hard but hard enough that you need to do it just right. One of my CNJ quest had 2 NPCs fighting high health mobs. If you waste your mp nuking, you run out before the event is done and you get raped. You...

    Jobs add new abilities, in 1.0 it was like 5 new abilities(1 of them is an ultimate super long cooldown ability), so it's not revolutionary, but since they're fairly strong abilities, they make the role stronger too. In some cases they also change the role, like going from Archer(meh ranged DPS)...

    Jobs aren't in for this phase though, well only for 1.0 copied characters. I've been keeping them for now but if I hit a point where I can't do anything else I'll just burn them I think. You get into a Grand Company at some point though, I assume when you've completed more of the storyquest, and...

    After the 3 dungeons, there's another storyline that opens where you join the recurring NPCs that helped you before, there's a bunch of quests after that, it does stop at some point though but I just got the lvl 20 quest so it either stops at 20 or 25. There's also quests in various zones but...

    There's probably a vod somewhere of demon playing mid omni and raping someone back when they were doing the knight strat. And one of him getting raped. Hero isn't very good but he can win some lanes, or at least not lose too hard. Taking TCM as an example for anything though, really? I mean I...

    Yeah thought the slow was stronger early on, I guess it's just the scaling that's crazy good so probably wouldn't work so well. Do have a silence too so that's a bit different I guess.

    Once you're 6 you get the stance that increases dmg quite a bit. It's not gonna get much faster than that though and cross classing won't help with DPS either. You could just change class though but regardless you'll need to hit 10 first. Otherwise you have to reroll.

    Drow isn't that bad but she's not OP either. She's basically a glass canon. She is THE glass canon of the game, no other heroes come close to the defition. She has no mobility, soft disables(silence with a shitty cast point and a slow that requires constant attacks) as defense, low health. She...

    Sadly if you're a marauder, you're stuck until 16ish when you can travel to other cities, because the ferry is buggy as fuck or is asking for way too much money. Most likely just buggy though, maybe it's asking for preconversion price which would be 50k I believe. For the other classes, you can...

    As far as I remember, magic is only involved in types of enemies and stuff, as in at some point in the story you start fighting monsters/demons/whatever the fuck. But other than that no. I haven't played in years but all I remember is sword(which was really last resort shit), blackjack to remove...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    Just noticed from a reddit post on how Red Projekt the Witcher 3 devs won't even be able to play their own game on Xbone at release that somehow Microsoft decided anything east of Germany isn't Europe. That's pretty fucking sad. It's like they really don't want people to buy their consoles at...

    I could see not having played Tera, it wasn't THAT big, but it's a pretty big flaw imo, yes it's a korean grinder, yes it has naked ladies and lolis everywhere, but fuck if the combat isn't the best I've played in a mmo. Whatever though I don't feel this is trying to compete with Tera in terms...

    No it doesn't. It uses the same system of one char > all classes, but there's no primary/sub class system. Instead you have a certain amount of slots(it's like one every 5levels iirc) that you can fill with any ability of another class that can be used with the weapon type you have currently...

    Yeah in the dev letter thing, they explained that they didn't intend for class to only have one job, that'd be pretty boring, and Arcanist will be the first class to have 2 different jobs. That's to be expected kinda, that lets them add jobs with only a few key iconic skills instead of having to...

    Yes but from what he says there's actual skills off GCD now. That or it's just "local cooldown" kind of stuff where the skills have a GCD with certain other skills but not everything. I don't know I guess we'll have to see. I'm interested in playing a caster anyway, so the fire/ice shit of black...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I don't think he meant no GCD. He meant, some abilities are off the GCD and are meant to be used inbetween normal attacks. Typical wow stuff really but instead of like only self buff, there might be off the GCD actual skills that are meant as combo fillers or what not. The combat isn't going to...

    Those combat changes mentionned on last page have me excited, that looks nice to make the combat less spammy and different from class to class. I'll be playing marlboro but EU hours. Also the "weekend" starts pretty early. Like 2AM PST on friday(so in less than a day), look up the exact hour for...

    My big issue with necrolyte, in a competitive point of view, is you need a solo lane, and he's not an exceptional solo. He's ok kinda but the current solo heroes tend to crush the fuck out of him in lane. You might be able to dual lane him say mid with Lich(undead dual lane yo) to compensate...

    Well she's MORE annoying, but yeah don't like the hero. New ult is pretty solid though, might see some play whenever she makes it to -cm, maybe, probably not. Thing is she's still more or less worthless until she has many items. The thing is there's so many viable carries nowadays, why pick her...

    The tip on the side about dmg being reduced means damage reflected is calculated after reductions. Say you cast a spell for 100dmg. It won't reflect 100dmg, it will reflect 75dmg, which is what you take because of the innate 25% magic resist. Basically it returns what you take, not what the...

    While every class can be anything, yeah witch is favored for summoner oriented builds since all the summoner nodes are around the witch area. Can do a solid templar summoner too though, just won't feel very summonerish until later on. Have absolutely no idea how summoners fare nowadays after the...

    Pure damage by definition is not affected by magic resist, otherwise it'd be magic damage. Blood Seeker dmg is health loss, it's even more powerful than pure because it basically cannot be stopped by anything, including magic immunity. Used to be pure until last patch, it's not the strongest...
