I guess it's pretty by MMO standards. Even maxed out it looks like a sharper PS3 game to me, barring those moments when the lighting looks just right or you find a nice view.

I hope that they address the tank imbalance in 2.1. I realize that as a MRD/WAR I can do most tanking just fine, but the fact remains that GLD/PLD are preferred tanks, and when I look at the abilities it isn't hard to realize why. Even just looking at the early level cooldowns that cannot be cross classed is kind of shocking. First is the defensive cooldown. GLD gets a flat 10% damage reduction, which applies to both physical and magical damage, is hell of a lot better than the MRD +20% defense, which only helps against physical damage(so any boss that does mainly magic damage it is useless) and although I'm not sure the actual percentages I seriously doubt it even decreases physical damage by 10%. For offensive cooldowns the MRD has a stronger one but, as is a common theme with their cooldowns, GLD's is more reliable. It doesn't hit you with a 5 second window where you can't do anything, which can be dangerous if adds spawn or are pulled. As levels go up the contrast gets even starker. MRD/WAR never get a cooldown or ability past their first one for damage reduction that I can see. All of their tanking abilities are of the self-heal variety, which while a neat gimmick, even WoW realized that such a tank still needed damage mitigation. Blizzard tried many different types of tanking, and what it came down to is that a tank who was unable to mitigate damage but had some other gimmick was always less desired than a tank who could mitigate damage. Hell, PLD gets a passive 20% damage reduction on top of all of their cooldowns for it with shield oath. Every time I tank dungeons and I'm tanking a bunch of things and my healer is barely keeping me alive I keep having to wonder "would this be easier on the healer if I was a GLD?" and it seems like it would be. I'm really trying to see what benefits a WAR has. The off-GCD stun is nice, although the windup on it is annoying. I guess in theory they would do more damage, although for some bizarre reason the PLD relic weapon has higher dps than the MRD one.

They've stated they are addressing the imbalance between WAR and PLD in 2.1. That being said if you want to tank you should probably have both capped anyways for when they release encounters that are more friendly for specific tank jobs.

I find that if 2+ mobs are within running distance inside of the gcd of casting bio1 it is worth it to run in and miasma2. While running in have garuda use contagion and it will also double miasma2 for your primary target. Run away and do some jump casts of bane and a ruin2.

Lumis posted:They've stated they are addressing the imbalance between WAR and PLD in 2.1. Started as a WAR switched to PLD, have relics on both. The thing is the PLD just has so many more cooldowns its retarded. Both tanks should get Cover(takes damage for the target), and maybe an immune cooldown. After I finish off my myth PLD only items, I'm just going to start working on War specific myth gear so I can play both. The thing that is going to be the next hot topic is how tanks, healers, and casters both have two classes that share darklight allowing those classes to switch up their gameplay with gear they already have. DRG, BRD, MNK all only darklight that are for one class, so to even change classes they would have to farm up another 4k philo. This was a pretty big drop off when I was about to gear up a DRG, seems so pointless just to do it for one class.

When new classes/jobs come out that gear should still work for those that use it. For example had the arcanist not have been released at launch then white mage would have gear that only worked for it and same thing would have happened to the black mage.

VeggieSmuggler posted:I wish people would stop undercutting me by 300-400 gil every time. It doesn't make crafting fun! quote from a long time ago, I find with the market that if there is something I want to sell, I will set it for the second lowest reasonable price (ie if something is selling for 5 gil, 1000gil and the rest of the stacks are 1200 gil, I set it my price at 1200 gil). If there is something ridiculously cheap, I go buy it and re-list it at a higher price. Stuff doesn't sell as quickly, but it will sell, and you'll make more money in the long term. also, if there is only 1 of something up for sale, and it has been selling recently (at least 3 sales/day), I will buy it and then inflate the price 50%, and add in the item I was going to sell as well. Just a couple of tricks to make sure you keep prices high, and you can avoid the general trend of people undercutting you non stop. On the other hand if it's something fairly worthless that I just want to get rid of, I will list it at the lowest price just to get it out of my inventory. Someone posted a bunch of stuff about lost opportunity cost, and MMO players don't put a value on their time to gather and craft, I will admit that I am one of those people. If I see cotton bolls selling for 10 gil, I will go and harvest my own for an hour to make my crafting, but it's not because I don't understand the economics, more that I prefer to harvest my own stuff as it gives me a strange sense of satisfaction. I'm like that in real life as well tho, I could buy some mdf bookshelves with veneer on them, but I usually will go out and buy expensive wood, make the bookshelfs myself. It costs me more money, and the end result is similar, but I am happier doing it. I have to say I am addicted to crafting, I haven't killed a monster in a long time now, but am really enjoying the game.

Esuna/Leech will remove pacification. However, Pacification only lasts 5 seconds (seems more like 4). By the time you see it applied, target the WAR and proceed to cast the spell, you're only saving them a second or two if you're quick. In order to really benefit, you need to already have the WAR selected and pre-cast just as or slightly before Berserk drops and Pacify is applied. I've only ever had one healer do that who also played a Marauder. Since most healers are usually busy doing their own thing, I never bother them about it. As well, I make sure to establish aggro either before or during the use of Berserk, so that 5 seconds of not doing anything won't cause me to lose aggro (as earlier mentioned, Flash still works). It's great when a Healer is on top of it, but nothing I like to bother anyone about.

Regarding warriors, your wrath stacks grant a 15% bonus to healing received, and defiance grants 25% bonus health. I wouldn't go do far as to say the tanks are at parity, but the difference is smaller than many people make it out to be. Prior to infuriate at level 50, you won't be able to build a full stack of wrath quickly, but paladins have to wait until 40 for shield oath, while you got defiance at 30. Be sure to burn your wrath stacks intelligently. Often times you'll be better off NOT using a wrath skill like inner beast to leave your stack intact for its bonus healing. I find flash to be incredibly useful as a warrior. Using it during the pacification after berserk lets you keep your enmity going, and using it any other time saves you some TP, which is handy in long fights. There are a lot of other bonuses too. I use it all the time.
