    Theres different needs for DPS. DPS in dungeons is always crowded. GOOD dps for raiding environment are a very hot commodity as they are the hardest rolls to optimize in raids and with all the hard dps checks having poor dps wipes groups.

    It is brutal. We've been working on it with a 2 day a week raid schedule for weeks and are just getting to last part of the add phase. Improvement comes in millimeters if you're not super hardcore. And I'm switching from Monk to Ninja to try to make it a bit better.

    Not to be rude but check fflogs.com Your dps numbers are VERY low for your dps. A monk should be doing 1.7k without tp being fed to him easily. Is your smn dotting the weakned mob and spreading that snapshot for insane damage? Are you actually making sure correct things are weakened? (and OUR...

    Think you're right and its just if you have a higher level character. You should be getting rested + armory bonus. but if i recall rested only works on monster kills and leve turn ins don't think that bonus applies to fate xp rewards.

    If you had a 50 already you were getting a 100% bonus once you hit 50 if you don't have a 60 you get 0% bonus if you have a 60 you get a 50% bonus that is why you saw xp drop like that. Also those people are crazy.

    Maybe its easier to handle/enjoy if you liked old school jrpg's back in ff1-6 days.

    You need to do every single side quests or you'll hit xp gaps where you're to low to move the MSQ on you still might if you don't do some roulette and dailies in. Easiest method is do MSQ until you hit next level cap then go back and do every single mission available in all zones.

    1. Tough question. There are 2 ways gear are handled, by spec/stat usage and by class. Some gear is ONLY for one class. Other gear is for Tanks/Healers/Melee DPS/Dex DPS/Caster/DPS and can be shared so all 3 healers can use same gear sometimes even if its not ideal Same for dragoon/nin smn/blm...

    I'm honestly scared of server stuff when this expansion launches. Excal randomly has queue times throughout the week of 10-30 people. (I had one last week at 1 in the afternoon EST!)

    Don't feel the above answer about Sch/Whm really covered the differences in raiding and content well. I've beaten up to t12 as whm and sch so try to give thorough idea of the differences. First of all they do heal very differently. Sch has a pet providing a very large amount of their...

    Ya i left game until 2.3 and just plan to do storyline stuff. The dailies and grinding stuff isn't that fun and really time consuming.

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    Goons are actually one of the largest and most active ff14 guilds as well. Also goons have never made a difference on server queues on launch of a game where queues are thousands deep usually 200 players from their forum isn't making a difference.

    Funny cause i don't think I'd play the game if i had to roll alts to do other things. Love raiding as whm soloing as bard and doing dungeons as warrior.

    Daily roulette from dungeons give massive xp as well as the new challenge log and beast tribe dailies would help a lot. (Most do dungeon leveling now as it's about same speed as old optimal fate grinding and a lot more fun. Which kind of killed fate grinding until these new Atma drops) (Also...

    I leveled all my classes to 50 via fates. I refuse to do atma questing. (For those curious it was over 5 thousand fates to get all combat classes to 50 that way) My paragon robe is nice at least. (I am KING whm!FINAL FANTASY XIV, The Lodestone | Draynar Amon)

    That mirror drop can go to hell. We had 2 groups farming for total of probably 16 hours and have gotten like 5-6 drops. (we've been cycling people from our selling extremes linkshell which has like 50 people)

    Those things are for the non raiders to work towards over a long long time. There are other options for raiders which people are still figuring out. (Levi extreme is upgradable for i100 and the weathered weapons etc)

    If it's on farm you can do coil 1-5 in under an hour if you're not goofing around. Primal in another 30-40 minutes. Farm generally isn't the guide on how long content takes though.

    How much "new" raid content do you expect? We're getting Basically 6 fights that are top tier difficulty... 2 Extreme and 4 new coil turns. Thats a lot to learn considering only one of them has anything for us to work on as far as how to kill (good king moogle mog) other fights are 100% new and...

    PVP is great way to get commends if you can stomach it and probably be better once they fix groups not being able to commend the solo player. (I solo healed up to like rank 15 or so when i realized latency allowed people to hit me through walls if they saw me not behind the wall even though i...

    I think thats kind of unfair as new extremes are really hard at appropriate gear level , just all the raid groups out geared them at release. I'm thinking 2.2 extremes levi and GKM will be really tough since they'll probably be at coil 1-5 level of expected gear with 6-9 coming out.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    The raid content in this game is very hard and one person can generally wipe a group if they play wrong so can understand why they don't want them but how is this different then raiding in any game? Currently the raid game will get easier in next patch for those people to pub it but until then...

    Or stop looking for status symbols in video games when point is the enjoyment of beating an encounter. Once new content comes out you're working on that let other people at least see the old stuff so the dev time wasn't wasted.

    You mean two skills that were too strong in pve as well if anything was healing a mob? Everything else was pvp only and had no effect on pve.

    I think he's mad that people think they're being lazy on instance dungeons when in fact they are going above and beyond with basically brand new dungeons set in same themed location. (How often do we honestly get to complain that devs are UNDER selling a patch? Nice change there)

    you forget that leveling started way back in p4. So ya even ultra casually alot of people have a single level 50 if they started then.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    That doesn't prove anything in this game honestly. It's really noticeable in hard mode titan to see people inside the pools not get hit because client shows things way delayed. Same reason when dodging mechanics you can't follow other players as if you wait for them to move you're going to get hit.
