HiKaizer posted:Tanking is pretty simply, once you get to Coil of Bahamut, Ballad Ultima and the Extreme Primals the game starts making things a bit more complicated with tank swaps or a terrible hot mess like Turn 4. But before that the most exciting thing a tank has to do is to pick up Chirada and Suparna in Garuda Hard Mode. Mostly it all boils down to dodge aoes that you can without screwing over your party and also facing the enemy away from the group. Healing is generally more finely tuned so high level content can range from interesting to ball crushing panic, but levelling is a pretty easy ride as long as you pay attention to your tank and they aren't completely incompetent. Honestly pre-50 the hardest part about tanking is holding aggro on trash mobs (if you're not bothering to mark anything). It's like a personal challenge to never lose aggro as a PLD when dps are all attacking different targets.

Instance servers are derping pretty hard right now. The game keeps on trying to log me onto copperbell mine, and the one time I got in the elevator lever didn't load properly and I got 90k after 5 minutes.

After relying on Overpower so much and being lazy about marking it's an interesting challenge. But early trash mobs are unlikely to wipe the group before Stone Vigil.

Hopefully the maintenance tonight will fix that poo poo up. Losing Coil loot to 90k is pretty godawful.

I'm gonna commiserate with people who lost loot due to 90k last night - I lost Allagan Bracelet of Casting because of it actually I left T2 before everyone finished passing because I'm a loving dumbass We did get 90k'd as the last Dreadnoaught died in T4, though. That was a serious bummer.

It sucked real bad but in retrospect I'm kinda glad it happened when it did, instead of when it would have cost us loot.

While it doesn't usually extend to the full data center itself, the instance servers at least have always been a bit iffy on Mon/Tues night since 2.1 due to the weekly reset. The extra people from the game going to Steam has probably just exacerbated this issue.

Oh boy, get ready for another class vs. class question! First I was torn between SMN and BLM, but I eventually decided to just do BLM because after playing more with both it just seemed more fun. Of course, this meant I had to level my ARC sub, so I put it down at 26 to come back to it later, or so I thought. ARC turned out to be a hell of a lot of fun, and now I'm torn all over again; this time between BRD and BLM.  And no, I don't really want to level both. My plan was to level just one combat job and then dive into crafting. So, some more questions. Is one more desired/useful for endgame? If I leveled Bard, is Mantra at all worth it? Because leveling PGL up to 42 just for that sounds about as fun as hanging myself. One concern I have is that a lot of the later fights (extreme primals, coil) seem like they involve a lot of movement. If I played BLM, would a lot of my time be spent interrupting my casting and running out of red zones? Because that sounds kind of frustrating.

And even better, because Square Enix is dumb, forum links from the mobile forums only work on mobile devices, and forums links from the desktop forums only work on desktop devices. So none of those links work for me because I'm not on a phone. (Mobile links on the desktop bring up the root of the forums, and desktop links on a phone bring up a blank page. Go Square Enix.)

Daily Forecast posted:Oh boy, get ready for another class vs. class question! Yea, mantra isn't worth it because you'll end up just playing the best job in game, fists up. Between BRD and BLM- it just depends on play style. BRDs are expected to play ballads of the appropriate types to help the raid. If you rather just zone out and ignore helping friends, just go on with BLM. Its all personal preference. We have a few BLM in our FC and they don't have much trouble with the movement in endgame. They do say the best way to do it is to run no further than needed. the most important criteria is all about dress up. Do you like wearing the most fabulous gear? If so, BRD is for you. If you like the boring stuff, go BLM.
