I've done a bunch of group content with WAR and if I don't have my stance on I don't generate shit for threat that I could tell. It's only ever been a "problem" if I turn the tank stance on, then I'll creep up and pass other tanks, but I also generally outDPS them so it's hard to tell if there's...

Yeah just checked and it does still generate threat fine. In fact checked Aurora too and it does so not sure how you tested. What I did for a quick tests was autoattack without tank stance a mob, have chocobo pull aggro from me, turn on stance and cast aurora on myself and that monster switched...

Well heals generate threat, and tank stance has a massive multiplier. Shake it Off is a 400 party potency heal, and Equilibrium a 1200 self potency heal(with a HoT after) so that'll generate large amounts. Paladin can also do somewhat similar stuff by using Divine Veil and popping it during...

Yeah they look like ass. The mega tiger mount you'll get at the end might look pretty cool though.

It doesn't matter a whole lot. The "downside" is mostly not having as much raw aoe healing as WHM/AST, not that the shields don't stack, it's pretty easy to just not shield when you don't need to, which is most of the time anyway, and when you do need to shield, Adlo spread is better than...

There isn't really a meta, unless you mean speedruns. Most raids will bring either of them, they're both excelent. Speedruns might favor SGE cause it does a bit more dmg, although SCH will likely scale better as the expansion go anyway since crit raid buff, so once ppl have more crit it...

95% of the uses is just targetting the offtank when they're taking a tankbuster, so you can just make a macro that's like /ac "whatever" <2> . Assuming you use the default party setup, the 2nd player is always the other tank. For example I use that for shirk since I will never shirk anyone but...

For Heart, like TBN, I just have the button twice, one normal for self use, and one macro with <mo> for protecting other ppl/offtank. The other classes have 2 buttons anyway so it's basically the same.

35 queue today at 7PM, but it is christmas eve so makes sense.

Login times are still shit, maybe less shit but still shit. Collector edition is mostly just mount/minions/glamour, just read what they give, but pretty much all of it is ignorable unless you want the specific stuff they give. HW notably has a Fantasia(potion to remake your char) bundled in there.

I've been lvling healers and the amount of terrible tanks in 81+ dungeons feels definitely a bit worse than usual. It's not like all bad, there's your good tanks and average "I'll take it" tanks still, but I think it's exacerbated by the fact the 82 skills are so good, and yet so many of these...

Well a problem that affects 40% of the users for example is a huge fucking issues and you'll see a lot about it, but ultimately you still have 60% of the ppl playing the game without an issue. Even as low as 10% of the userbase having issues will create a bunch of noise because that's still a...

Dungeons were 50%, I checked every dungeon besides 83 and 89 and was always 50%. They do provide substantial xp now though, around 40-45% of a level per run, so 4runs with some side shit is enough to do 2 levels, or 5runs and you'll have leftover(so next 2levels only 4 runs). Bozja has 2...

Yeah they're all more or less trash in comparison. Still haven't leveled a ranged phys for that one, but melee was literally worse than the beast tribe quest it was about, caster was somewhat world building but not very interesting cause they just didn't have enough room to make it good, healer...

Only piece I care about it healer chest for glamour, but body pieces are a bitch to get. I got minion first try but it sucks so don't really care about it. First 2 raids are REALLY boring, especially first one is a super snoozefest. 3rd is mostly boring, 4th is actually kinda fun(although...

The dungeon xp buff seems very substantial. I don't know if it's consistent in all levels since I'm too lazy to scour my old logs to figure it out, but I did a 85 dungeon run right before maintenance and again after maintenance, and it's a flat 50% more xp. Got about 4m xp from one run(need 8.2m...

That or they're necessary grinds so you get sick of it 1week in but you still have to farm the stupid minigame for months. This shit should be cosmetic rewards and stuff, with maybe catchup mechanics at best(so you don't have to do them if you're current).

Yeah they're kinda at the bottom too, but even with this larger than usual gap it's still less than 10% kind of shit, ppl just make it sound like the "bad" classes are unplayable shit but it's fine. Ninja looks kinda weird though so don't know, I'm lvling it now to get it out of the way so I'll...

You can check fflogs but currently SMN is undertuned, does really low dmg for its role. It's still like within acceptable levels and you get a bunch of utility, just the dmg isn't good and I assume they'll be buffing potencies in 6.05 or at least 6.1. At a casual level though that doesn't make...

Literally just buy crafted gear once the patch hits and you'll be full 580. Current gear is pointless other than saving money, it's even technically worse than the crafted gear since you can pentameld that(even if you just throw 50g lvl 7 materias at the pentamelds to save money it's still...

BLM has a ton of options for mobility now though, they already had a bunch but you can for example hold a Triple Cast without any loss since it has 2 charges(well you lose a triple cast during burst window but it's not even that much since you're just triplecasting Fire IVs anyway), you still...

Well the 5% lower dmg or whatever it is wouldn't account for much slower speed when doing dungeons, it's a lot more likely the stat squish and unsynced echo not being properly scaled at all level ranges and overall the usual gap in power not being obvious. That said, the first tier is generally...

RPR is really good and really nice to play, however that + the edginess means it's extremely extremely popular, they're fucking everywhere, which I find a bit annoying. Also annoying to find groups for stuff as a result since a lot of PFs have the no double rule thing on. But it was great fun to...

89 is exactly the same amount of xp as the levels before, besides 80. It's 10 quests exactly(every level is 10quests, other than 80 being 20 since it splits into 2 as usual), which is about 5m xp, not even half the xp needed for 89 to 90. There is a dungeon run too which is like 3.5m xp or so...

I don't know if I'd call them upside down, but basically someone explained it as a waffle toaster kind of thing, the constellation is the lid, and it just "closes" on the arena. So the top of the constellation is the far side from it and the bottom is the close side. There's only like 4...

Man getting those last accessories is such a pain. Just did 5 runs on my tank and not a single accessory I needed dropped(I still need 2 on tank, 1 on healer, 1 on caster, 1 on melee). Gonna have to use totems once I have enough I guess, just annoying cause I'm almost done farming EX stuff, just...

Anima is definitely the easiest, a lot of stuff is easy to do cause it's old and it's just straight grinds with no fancy shit. You do need like 6000poetics or whatever though. Zodiac is absolute ass once you get to the books part, a lot of them require to clear specific ARR fates, which are...

DC visit wasn't gonna be ready by release regardless, if it had been they'd have tested it during 5.58 since they had plenty of time then, but it was likely not done and at that point they just pushed it back to later. It would be pretty good IF you could change to a different region's DC, which...

New congestion post on Lodestone, 14 days of sub added for free(on top of the 7 days they gave already), and they're turning off the sale of the complete/starter as well as Free trial until the situation improves. Also some stuff about opening new servers sometimes next year. 6.05 won't be...

That's cheaper than on my server but haven't checked rest of the DC. Anyway yeah it's just the new way to sell bicolor, in ShB only things you could sell past the initial mats release rush was like orchestrion rolls, and while they had good value, very few ppl wanted to spend 500-800k for a...

You can buy the vouchers on the market. It's basically a way for random ppl to farm gold, but instead of generating gold out of thin air which leads to inflation(see triple turn in leves), you just transfer the gold from the mega rich to new players. It's fine imo, these are basically a status...

Speaking of tank healing, there's already a 8 tank EX trial clear on reddit(1st story trial, the acc one).

As far as I could tell with my limited experience, the snakes just like normal only spawn in set opposite patterns. If a snake is against the wall, the other one is not against the opposite wall, and vice versa. This means you don't have to necessarily look at both snakes, only one. I like...

Oh yeah, you meant to fix the errors and shit, yeah I guess that'd be a possibility although no idea if it'd really be easy for them to switch all the login servers to the cloud. But you'd still have a bunch of queues until they add more actual servers and that's really a large part of the...

Didn't Blizzard servers complete shit themselves for a while and have hour long queues for classic launch?

WAR and PLD already had a lot, but they did buff GNB healing a fair bit, and they buffed PLD and WAR too. DRK didn't really get much in terms of self sustain, although TBN was always a pretty strong tool for that due to the low cd. PLD is still best at keeping someone else alive so you don't...

Most classes are stupid easy at low lvl, stuff really only starts to get semi complex as you get to HW/SB levels and start getting more complex abilities. BLM's pretty fun as you get higher as the rotation becomes more interesting and you get a lot more tools, plus you stop chucking the puny...

Waves? Isn't that the first EX? Although I guess in the story order it's 2nd but since it's weapons it's the one I started with. Cleared on 2nd PF, first was 30mins of people being terrible at the basic stuff but got me to see the core of the fight, then I joined a "clear party must have seen...
