If you dig the music, https://www.youtube.com/user/Huskybythegeek/featured does some insane covers of it. Friggin love his stuff. Oh hey new page. Guess I'll go play in the real world today with the downtime.

I only step in to tell people they're bad when they're giving other people horrible advice in here. You're allowed to be bad as long as you don't answer someone's honest question with "I don't play tank but".

Did somebody say RAF codes? X2RCEFGP Especially good if you're rolling on Cactuar as that's where I am but I don't see a drat thing in the info that means we don't get the items if you're not.  Come play Chocobo Dressup 14! Possibly with me! Also there's something about fighting and crystals and stuff? i want that hat

i just realized that they continued the FFXIV storyline beyond the end of the Main Scenario/Garlean Invasion, so I am gonna have to run through that when the servers come back up, after I unlock ROG of course.

Zereth posted:Every major patch has added more main storyline, yep. There's quite a bit by now. It's actually through the extended storyline that the other Primals are brought in. Have fun! Some of them can be a real blast. I'd also like to say that I think the quality of the storytelling, voice acting, and the story itself kind of improves a lot as these patches go on, so if you liked it before then it should be a treat. The post-50 story stuff is pretty great, in my opinion.

I started playing again and unlocked Bard. Now I'm torn between continuing on as DPS and going back to level a healer. I liked druid and shaman healing in WoW but never tried a priest, what is healing like here?

White mage is a big raw healing class with some powerful heal over times, Scholar has bubbles like disc priest and a pet that helps with healing

I liked druid and shaman healing in WoW but never tried a priest, what is healing like here? It is fun and kind of challenging, it's one of the more interesting roles in FFXIV for sure. Scholar healing is all about damage prevention until you hit 50, where you get a massive raw HP dump in Lustrate, 150% of a target's max HP in about a second if you spam it and burn both stacks of Aetherflows that you can get at once. They have a merely decent heal in Physick, and a very good, if expensive combination heal/shield in Adloquium (heals someone, and applies a damage shield for the heal amount for 30s, crits apply a 3x HP shield). You also get a healing pet which can basically toss out buffs and heals independently of you, but if you're really good at micromanagement, you can out-heal a White Mage if you know what you are doing, without running out of MP. White Mage is all about overhealing and how much you can do it by. Cure is your first heal spell, and is approximately equal to Physick in heal power. Cure II is a much more potent heal but it is also much more expensive than Cure, but it works out to burn less MP than spamming Cure, if you make sure that you don't overheal. Cure III is a very small AoE extremely powerful Cure spell for every friendly target in the AoE. Benediction is the WHM's oh poo poo button, akin to the SCH's Lustrate ability, I think Lustrate might heal more HP, but in smaller chunks instead of one big shot. Both jobs have wide AoE heals, SCH has Succor, which costs 399 MP at max level, and heals everything within I think 20 yalms for about the same amount as Adloquium, and applies a damage shield on them for 30 seconds same as Adloquium, and crits work the same way. White Mage has Medica, which is basically a 20 yalm AoE Cure spell, and Medica II, which applies HP regeneration on everyone who is affected by the spell.

orange juche posted:It is fun and kind of challenging, it's one of the more interesting roles in FFXIV for sure. Quick correction: Succor is half the potency of Adloquium, and doesn't get the crit shield boost. Also, with Eos out, there's also Whispering Dawn, which is a 140 potency AoE regen if used with Rouse. (Which you probably should, since they share a cooldown.)

Huh, didn't notice that V  VHitting Succor and watching a bunch of critted heals pop for 700+ HP + the shield bonus kind of made me think they were almost on the same level. I didn't even go into pet specifics because there's a lot of stuff you can do with your pet that is interesting and fun that really makes a scholar pretty useful. The real magic ticket is when you do 8 man raids with a SCH and a WHM in the party. Their skill sets synergize extremely well and complement each other perfectly. orange juche fucked around with this message at 17:48 on Oct 27, 2014 |

I need to make a list of Cactuar goons so I can find more people to stalk. Otherwise, it's time to ponder the big question before riding the Ninja train: Is a Lalafell with a glowing sword / shield better than a Lalafell with a large glowing axe?

From a personal perspective I enjoy the Paladin playstyle and goofy things you can do with the Paladin utility skills (spammable stun, stoneskin) far more then the Warrior business. jim truds posted:Gameplay wise I remember Paladin being better. However, an oversized glowing axe is the only weapon the master race needs. Relics are gaudy, but you can Glamour the Mog-axe so... Edit: Also i've always felt like you can wiggle more damage out of a good Scholar and Paladin or a good Warrior and White Mage, but if you're just duty rouletting you're hosed on the healer being awake / at their keyboard. zolthorg fucked around with this message at 17:55 on Oct 27, 2014 |

Yes, we're basically talking glamour importance here, not so much the playstyle since they're both going to amount to "spam aoe on trash pulls" for duty roulette  Overpower + Bloodbath makes a very satisfying sound.

Warriors get their tank stance at a reasonable level and generally have enough power to hold threat before that so if you're doing low roulettes that's probably the best option

As PLD Main for my static (at least until DRK comes out  ) and the year I've been playing (started 1.0 as MRD ironically enough), I have to admit the alternate warrior pose is vastly superior to the paladin one and I am really jealous. Sword/Shield rules though.
