Dragoons and monks in this game are the rogues of WoW. A lot of people play either or both, but the vast majority of them have no loving clue how to play either properly. Which is sad because dragoon is second only to black mage for highest burst damage ability, and monk has the absolute highest damage potential for any extended fight that doesn't have constant phase transitions.

I haven't stepped foot in second coil (and I believe my FC may be attempting T5 tonight) tonight, so I'm entirely unsure how important accuracy is for a healer, particularly scholar. I guess the big thing is that I'm uncertain how much I'll actually get to DPS later on. I'm also only starting my second animus book, so I have plenty of time for that, too.

This is actually true in general for abilities that don't do damage up front, which funnily enough includes Bio and Bio II. Both spells just apply a debuff without dealing direct damage, even though their only purpose is dealing damage, and because of that they don't miss. That's also something you might want to keep in mind on weighing if you want accuracy on your Novus or not, since it'll only really affect Miasma, Aero, Ruin and Energy Drain damage.

Endgame Scholars are a hybrid damage class rather than a pure healer, to the chagrin of many. Some go all in and have crafted i90 gear slotted with accuracy, but the Novus makes getting to accuracy cap a lot easier.

Is it just me or do the Novus glows kinda suck? Look like they just slapped a masterwork glow and zenith glow together and said "yea that looks fine".

Smart Car posted:I did it because I spend a significant amount of my time in all the second coil encounters DPSing. Whether you can get away with this all depends on your group and how skilled your other healer is however, it all varies per fight. But for most of the fights I spend at least half and possibly as much as three quarters of the fight adding DPS, with my contributions usually being in the 100-150 DPS range, which is quite significant. Again though, this all depends on your group, and it also requires a certain amount of familiarity with the fights since you have to know when the damage spikes happen, even more so than you normally want to know just to optimize your Adloquium usage. I swear I've seen a virus miss before. Maybe I'm just crazy.

I had bio miss on a levequest just now. I'm level 39 and he was level 44, so it isn't uncommon for something to miss, but bio certainly did.

They've promised the next step gets an all new re-skin, so they're probably spending their time on that and did something akin to this for Novus weapons.

Isn't that just your standard "level differences cause a miss rate of X% per level difference" found in MMOs? In Lotro a mob 5 levels above you avoids probably 50% of your attacks.

He gains a level every time he's defeated and drops a certain number when he wipes everyone. Failboattootoot posted:There are no hybrids in the game currently, unless you count bored healers throwing out dps in a dungeon as a hybrid anyway. I'm not quite level 50 yet, but SCH/SMN are the closest to hybrid jobs out there right now. Doing every dungeon/trial up to level 34 (haven't ran cutter's yet) with my SCH results in incredibly fast runs because we effectively have 3 dps. Hell, I was in normal copperbell earlier today and never once had to use physick. I just sat around throwing three dots on every enemy. I don't know how it is at endgame, but prior to that they are ridiculously overpowered. Likewise I've done a couple of dungeons pre-30 and used my topaz carbuncle to basically tank everything.

Macdeo Lurjtux posted:Are monks dps only? Can they tank 4 man content at all? Low level dungeons - sure. I've ended up three-manning it when tanks would drop and a cool PUG or MNK would step up to keep trash and mobs off of us. PUGs have it easier though, since they can slot in flash, and actually hold hate. (Short answer: Yes, long answer: Yes but it's not really intended, and my WHM can probably do it about as well.)

SCH does get more involved healing-wise the further you go but most low-level dungeons you an clear by /follow:ing someone and going to make a sandwich.

If you're playing on a keyboard, make sure that you're using your ` key, as well as alt, shift and (optionally) ctrl modifiers. Even if you have small hands, you should be able to hit ` through 4, which is 15 keys with alt+shift.

I also recommend binding strafe to A and D and using Q/E/alt+Q/alt+E for common actions. I have Heavy Thrust and Phlebotomize on Q/E for DRG, for instance.

Obviously it would dependent on many things, but for the purposes of maximizing healer DPS in the second coil, would a acc melded Novus actually be better than a HA weapon? I don't really know how acc works, so I dunno how much 31 acc increases your hit rate, versus the higher MDMG/Stats on the HA book.

So I got the game last night. I'm level 3 and havent even run out of fetch quests in the starter town. Is this normal? Also, if I want to change class do I just buy and equip the appropriate weapon or is there more to it?
