Since the release is on a tuesday, I assume they release the patch on tuesday and the league on friday as usual, giving them a few days to fix any massive issues due to launch, maybe. But they haven't said so not sure. Seems like good timing for me, I think I'll be done with FFXIV by the time...

Well with tank/healer you'll have instant queues for everything so that's nice. The game uses a quest leveling system with a main story quest and some/a lot of sidequests. The main story unlocks most features in the game so it's necessary to do it, and contains a bunch of mandatory dungeons to...

Omega 4 savage looks pretty crazy. Spoilers for the fight in case of, and spoilers in general, but that's the "2nd phase" of the fight:

Yeah not much in these books that's worth it, I'll grab them for future proofing since I assume they'll just add recipes to them later, maybe, but not a huge deal. I'm glad I didn't spend too much time trying to be all caught up with crafting and shit cause it would have been fairly pointless. I...

Good thing I didn't waste my blue scrips on buying materias and shit in case of, now I can buy a couple of books with the conversion to red. Not that reds are hard to farm, I leveled CUL almost entirely on turn ins for like 2k per items and it was 35red scrips per, just need to macro for a few...

Leveling roulette gives a ton of xp especially if you're lucky and get a SB dungeon. Other roulette bonus is kind of shit but it's a nice break, I usually do 50/60, if it's a 60dungeon it's ok xp, if it's 50 it's bad but generally fast anyway. I don't do trials cause too many annoying ones but...

Yes, fairly standard, same as how Fringes was locked behind 67 or 68 or whatever it was. I cleared that just now too, hadn't bothered with either EX primals until today, figured I'd give it a try since my FC was doing a clear night so I hoped in some automatchmaking DF shit, was terrible as...

The description of the item says what they're for. Like Cranks say: "Can be traded for special arm gear". Shafts say Body and so on. But yeah they do have a ton of currency and shit systems to trade. I guess they don't want stuff like "glove token" to drop so they give them weird names and lore...

Crafting is its own thing, you don't need any of them, and if you want one of them, you'll want all of them(to like various levels for cross class skills but to cap for materials from various crafts used in other crafts). For raiding you'd want food and potions but the time and money invested to...

Finished all my DoL/DoH today, cooking was pretty quick in the end and botanist/mining are super fast if you actually bother doing only that(collectables rotation), 0leves remaining, just right. All in all it looks like I spent 11m doing it, includes all spending so it wasn't just that, I had...

Maybe just no rested? I did do a bunch of frontlines at 60 too cause the MSQ was broken so maybe that was it I don't know. But it was like 4-5 maybe, although it was pernerf so that's almost a full level. Also my usual daily routine for leveling involves doing leveling+50/60+frontline roulette...

From what I remember reading, Fire II is only worth at 5targets or more, lower than that you're better off using Fire IV single target instead. However, on the 3rd umbral, use Flare then Flare again, this is worth using on 3+, although often if there's only 3 targets and the other DPS is...

Oh btw thanks for that, had completely forgotten this was a thing. I'm not using the scrips for accessories since I'll just craft 70 white HQ stuff soonish anyway, plus at least for my crafters, while I was using old ass 2.0 gear, it was pentamelded so it was close enough to scrip gear anyway so...

Ixion requiring 6kills for the reward, assuming all gold, is pretty retarded. Means it'll be overcamped for a while. Meanwhile foxy lady gives you enough materials to buy everything in a single kill.

Paladin feels great for dungeon tanking, shit like Clemency, Cover and Intervention to save retards. It's just kinda bad whenever you get a low lvl dungeon and all you do is rage of halone combo cause the alternative combos only are available at 54 and 60. Not as bad as before though cause you...

Other than weapons, 10ilvl rarely makes a huge difference either. Well some extreme cases of aoe fuckery that does just the right damage to kill you if you don't have enough hp, so the 10ilvl vit on left side is useful, but you can meld some vit in your accs to compensate nowadays, even without...

The endgame kinda builds up over time, but the first patch of expansions is pretty bare. If you're interested in savage though there's a decent amount I guess. The game thrives on parallel progression with stuff like alts being classes on your main character, crafting being its own sphere of...

Probably, it's the same as HW pretty much, make sure to get all the ones with the compass thing as you level up(some zones are MSQ locked to a higher level, similar to Sea of Clouds in HW), and do the sidequests that reward them, so you unlock flight asap. But it's basically the same as what you...

They have explanations, the characters used are used within the lore of the game, they're simply using char design and playing on nostalgia with musical and graphical themes from some old FF. For example the Warring Triad is perfectly acceptable within the lore of XIV. They're powerful entities...

Red mage is simpler than Samurai I think, at least once you unlock the secondary gauge for samurai and have to manage it with positionals and stuff(62 I think is when you get the good stuff). Red mage pretty much plays like 2.0 BLM in some aspects, mostly you just have to pay attention to procs...

Na they use a lot of the previous FF stuff for new content. For example in HW, the primals were inspired by FF6, The Fiend, the Goddess and the Demon, the Warring Triads. The 24man Crystal Tower is inspired by FF3. The current Omega wing raid is all FFV inspired. The next 24man was titled Return...

The healer told him to change his accessory, which prompted the "but str accs are bis" discussion. Obviously it's faceroll, it was still slower than usual and probably a lot more annoying for the healer to see him spike to 20% hp constantly from every "big" hit cause he had 60% less health than...

Well potd is different, cause tanks are pretty much worthless and healers are only good when shit goes wrong, which is like once every 3 full runs in my experience and if you have a witching pom you can just fix it anyway. But realistically potd can be soloed by a decent DPS with 50/50 and...

The best joke is how the mindset bleeds into other spheres even though it's completely out of place. The other day I had a PLD in Shisui(the 63 dungeon) using STR accs, unmelded and unupgraded(i260) cause he was a shit scrub that read on reddit that str accs were bis or watch xeno's videos or...

Geared or not barely makes a difference on the GCD, you're going to shave maybe .1 sec so you go down to 2.4. The only thing that has a real impact are skills, stuff like the WHM spellspeed buff, or class permanent features for Monk/Ninja/Samurai which lowers their GCD to around 2secs. Monk...

Well you need Stormblood on your account activated, and you need a lvl 50 class. You can't "start a samurai" as they start at lvl 50. After that you go to Uldah, find the samurai guy iirc he's near the gladiator's guild, and he'll give you the job.

You don't actually need a DVD drive though, since all that's on the dvd is the launcher to download the game afaik. All you need is the key inside to apply to your account then launching the game will update(technically just launching the game even without stormblood will update to SB anyway...

RDM when shits hits the fan in dungeons is pretty fun. In Bardam's Mettle the healer kept getting confused by the turn around thing, tank dies right before the add phase, I rez the tank, tank wastes his provoke during add phase so after that's done, boss kill the other DPS(I used lucid dream to...

Honestly unless you're doing high lvl potd or 41-50, tanking the boss can be done on any class even without pomender of steel. Just avoid the mechanics and it's fine, I've done it with bard and rdm(without self healing) a lot on the 51-60 boss. Higher levels I could see it being an issue, but at...

Cards don't stack yeah, and now you can't see the other AST cards which is annoying, but getting Balance with RR aoe is not really that common, and you can make a macro when you have it to say "I got next balance". Realistically you'll still hit times without a balance up even with 2AST, and...

Well unless they actively remove the ways currently I don't see much of an issue, hunts drop those cluster whatever things and dungeons give a bunch of VI all the time. I'm not sure if white gear can be spiritbound>convert for VI but that's probably not a big deal. And it's likely they'll add...

Well it depends but overall AST is the better healer. WHM looks pretty fun though with all the instant free heals stuff. The thing is, AST is basically more or less a WHM that also has the card mechanic on top, so it's less boring in a way. Personal DPS isn't a big factor, at least for single...

Obviously voided yeah, ppl are getting stupid loot. Looks pretty fun but meh I'll wait for expansion.

A lot of vanilla MSQ is very boring stuff. Gets better near the end of 2.0(like 40 and 50 stuff) and then before Heavensward, but it's pretty bad overall. Once you start HW's MSQ though there's a lot less bullshit fetch quests and stuff in the MSQ(all the sidequests are basically still that...

Yeah I'll have to look into it more seriously at some point. I haven't even finished the job quests for the gathering classes or most crafting classes. Hell earlier when I picked up BLM I started doing my bar setup and I couldn't find fucking Fire IV I was wondering what was up. Turns out I...

Grats, RDM armor is definitely top tier, even just some parts are good to keep for glamour like the boots and stuff. Been fucking around on a bunch of other chars just doing my expert roulette on Monk. Got AST to 68.5(probably 70 tomorrow I'll push a bit more than usual, run that 69 dungeon...

Haven't gotten to level mine other than getting it to 62, read a lot of negative opinions on that theorycrafting discord thing. Looks kinda meh now? Damage is way lower especially aoe, like garbage tier aoe compared to WHM or even AST, but that's ok for raiding content and stuff, just annoying...

It'll be pretty easy to carry next gear tier or something but yeah atm it's a rough roulette. I did it first time with like everyone being new and it went really well, we wiped like 3times at various stages to figure out stuff, first wipe being like 20secs in when everyone fell down and then...

Oh was it, I haven't played HW much and early on it was like the end of 2.0, at the end of 2.0 it was pop PB, then pop all your cooldowns while you're building and refresh dots before the buffs drop. But now it feels it's just start fight with demolish > PB > snap punch > snap punch > dragon...

70 Monk quest was actually harder than the 67, impressive stuff for a solo instance. It wasn't like really hard but I almost died a couple of times. Got the 70monk skill and as expected, it's partly shit. It's super RNG, sometimes you get a bunch of chakra, sometimes you don't get shit. In 4mans...
