The GCD is slow yeah. This is made a lot better by having a large amount of oGCDs which makes the combat always feel pretty active, generally speaking, plus positionals. Ninjas get a lot of oGCDs to weave inbetween their 2s GCD, so it shouldn't feel too bad. There's some times where you're just...

Hmm that's not really little though, For the alchemist, I haven't played 1.0 but I hear it's actually related. It was the best crafting story of SB regardless even without knowing the origins. Generally the crafters have 1-2 very good questlines per expansions so I love doing them(and in SB...

Don't know if you've done it but if you're into 1.0 story stuff, you should do the SB Alchemist questline.

Yeah, although near the end you could go back to your WAR and get some xp into 60+ so you don't run out as easily in SB(iirc had to grind a few dungeons here and there back then, nothing crazy though and as a WAR you'd get fast queues anyway). Good you managed to get through the shittier parts...

This is a domain. When you get 100? shards of whatever, you combine them into a map item that opens a map to the domain, and then you clear that big breach shit until you find the boss. If you kill too slow you'll waste it but it doesn't work like standard breaches which close automatically...

I really liked the Ultima first phase with the callbacks to many of the previous 24man encounters with the summons stuff and the transition looks cool as fuck. The little labyrinth thing was interesting too. It definitely was one of their better 24man dungeon overall, it's challenging but still...

The requirement is having The Hunt unlocked. This is done at your GC for the original ARR hunts, you need Second Lieutenant rank with your GC, then go do Let The Hunt Begin (your GC). Once it's done you should have Let the Clan Hunt Begin in Ishgard, you do that and it should unlock the first...

I feel the endgame suffered a bit this expansion due to having too strong skills. It's just very easy to make macros that 100%HQ. Sure you might need some HQ mats(that you can 100%HQ yourself, reducing the overall costs) but even with fairly cheap melds I can HQ everything, and since I'm a cheap...

You need 360 for the new dungeon(only one) so it's not that great for catchup gearing but it's a lot easier to get gear in it than in alphascape since you can need on everything for your class and not have to roll against 7other people(unless you're DPS and another DPS using the same gear...

Damn the new dungeon gear is 375, I thought it'd be 365. Makes it pretty easy to gear alts casually without having to run alphascape constantly. Can just sit on 375 and upgrade to 390 later when they uncap the 24man and stuff.

You should always use cooldowns, they're free after all and in dungeons especially, trash mobs are more dangerous than bosses generally speaking. Main issue with leveling dungeons is there's a steep increase in defense between levels, not so much between ilvls after that. For example the...

Alphascape normal now yeah, works like any other dungeons, you just need on everything you want and RNG decides if you get shit or not. It's only 380 gear mind you, same as crafted, same as Eureka Pyros, lower than unupgraded genesis and new 24man and savage loot. Savage will be uncapped later...

It's like wow, each expansion is a reset and within an expansion you can always catch up from scratch in a few weeks. The newest and last major patch of the current expansion releases tomorrow. There will be another patch with more story stuff added in 2months or so, and then nothing much until...

Meh it would solve a few issues but not that many. I've redone ARR recently and honestly it's not nearly as bad as I remembered, especially since once you advance the MSQ a bit now you get mount speed, which makes the run from Horizon actually pretty quick(fast than Limsa boat in general due to...

I mean it's not Cataclysm happened right away either. Cata was 5-6years after WoW release. Which technically would be this expansion, but yeah. Also did flying in old zones really add much? I haven't played wow in forever but can't really think it'd be that great other than to get your ass to...

Yeah everything with a blue mark and a + unlocks something. Mostly dungeons, sometimes new content stuff(Gold Saucer or Ventures for example), in a few cases it's kinda garbage(there's 1 in each main cities that unlock a dance). But they're the important sidequests, as opposed to the standard...

Yeah Mor Dhona used to be the endgame hub at 50 so most quests started there. A lot are just breadcrumb quests to unlock a 50dungeon, since they were adding like 3 every patch and shit. You could grab them all and go to where they say most of them will just complete right there and unlock a...

I mean pretty much everything can be ignored if you don't care about content. Things worth unlocking: Legacy of Alag in Mor Dhona to unlock Crystal Tower 24man, unlock the first 2 dungeons to get the alliance daily roulette for xp/poetics. Any 2 dungeons for 50/60 dungeon queue for poetics/bad...

So I've been doing retainer ventures for wind crystals because I was kinda low and they were the most expensive. After a couple weeks of it I hit 9999 and wasted a few and remembered "oh yeah these are capped, I should just drop some on my retainer". Open my retainer, I had 7000 there too that I...

Getting your ilvl up is going to be the most important to get in a static at this point since most people have been playing for a while so they have large amounts of i390 and 400(from running savage) stuff. Learning parties this late might be kinda shit too not too sure. The new EX primal weapon...

I have barely any melds on my gathering shit. I have like Gathering V, GP III and Gathering II or Perception V instead of gathering, on accessories, and the tools are just Perception/Gathing V and GP IV or something like that. And left side is yellow scrip gear. Basically I used Aryala to...

I mean it depends on your server obviously, as I said my server has a shit market so everything's expensive. Alchemics are 80-90k, Kingscraft went up to 28k last week, so yeah. Just have to convert the value in yellow scrips of each item based on your server to see what's better to buy though...

Yeah no I'm not gonna waste deliveries on gathering when I can do crafting ones and sell gyr abanian alchemics/kingscraft demimateria with the yellow scrips and make like 500k for 2mins of crafting, while stockpiling crafting xp tickets and souls of the crafters and what not for the next...

Yeah if you just need levels Namazu are great since they work on everything. The quests aren't even that bad for gathering as far as I could tell when I tested quick. I did a mining one to check it out and it was just mining like 3 items right next to the Namazu for it, bit longer than crafting...

That's the HW shit iirc? The ones I needed were Silkworm to fish in The Lochs and then some Stonefly larvas and/or suspending minnows to fish somewhere else. The minnows are lure so they're ok in my book, 50red scrips but you can generally fish for hours with them before they break(and with my...

Na EU Omega, I'll be moving once they give free transfers but still sticking to EU cause of ping, USW is too far. Fishing is fun for the most part but the scrip bait stuff is really retarded. I don't want to have to farm just to fish, the whole point of fishing is to just relax and throw the...

So finished all my crafting catching up and shit a little while ago, even my gatherers are geared(not fully, I checked the numbers and figured I didn't need 3star HQ shit so went yellow scrips+crafted mix, much cheaper and I can get just as many NQs anyway). Today decide to go fishing, figure...

Yeah if you don't mind the slapstick japanese humor, the questline has some great shit. It also helped them a lot with making different facial expressions from doing the over exagerated ones in this, after they did Hildibrand, the MSQ had them every now and then too(for example Raubahn roaring)...

And if you can't meld crit or str, generally direct hit, although if you look into it very carefully there's some direct hit tresholds and then you want det, at least judging from the BiS monk melds. Also skillspeed can be useful until specific breakpoints, for PLD that'd be so you can fit all...

If you mean poetics, you can buy i120 Ironworks gear in Mor Dhona to help with the HW leveling. It'll only be useful to buy the similar Shire gear in Idylshire in HW to get through SB, but you'll keep getting more if you do roulettes and shit. Depends on what gear you actually have right now...

If you know a crafter you can cut the costs A LOT. Base materials are pretty cheap for the crafted gear. Largest part is the gyr abanian alchemic since they can only be bought with yellow crafter scrips, but on my server with shitty supplies it's still "only" 70k, and the total rest of the mats...

Because they're apples and oranges, tanking 4man dungeons in DPS stance isn't going to help you tank savage in DPS stance. There's no relevant skills that translate from one to the other. For PLD and for WAR, tanking in DPS stance isn't some arcane system that you have to get used to. For PLD...

You're not learning correctly if you just DPS stance every dungeon regardless. In dungeons, the correct way is to asses your and your party's gear, as well as how they're playing and use the appropriate stance for that. DPS stance in 4man pub dungeons always depends on other stuff than yourself...

Raids and general play are very different in terms of tank stance requirements. Yes for savage you definitely will want to optimize your DPS stance time, as in, it should be 100% unless you use tank stance as a "cooldown" for certain things, and maybe on pull for initial threat if you don't have...

The new info about the cheaper RTX line apparently says BF will support 1080p DLSS so it should work at any resolution, just need to do whatever things you have to do with Nvidia to get it working, which I assume a lot of companies won't bother. Says the new RTX cards are being bundled with...

It is worth it imo. What squadrons do eventually is 2 things. First they act like retainer ventures, you send them out, they bring back stuff. If you spec them properly, they will bring back GC seals(so free trips), crafter or gatherer red scrips(free money more or less) or crystal clusters...

You should learn the moveset though since Cyclops come back in various forms over and over, so learning how they work asap is useful for later. Same with Chimeras, knowing that ram is a pbae and dragon is a donut is useful for whenever you fight random chimeras. In general, they do a pretty good...

Isn't this new thing specifically doing it so it's not that easy by basically masking ads as normal content. That's what I assumed they'd do if they wanted unblockable ads. And for the delay thing that was mentionned, I don't think they'd do delays, they don't atm either I think? They just play...

Well as I said, you can outgear it. Do Sigmascape 4.0 4times(which isn't super hard, just need to get the few tricks to it) and get 1000mendacity for a 360weapon, or buy a 350crafted HQ weapon, or a 380HQ crafted one if you have more money/they're cheap enough on your server or better yet if you...
