Mr. Nice! posted:Never double cooldown between GCDs. There are a select few off-GCDs that I am fairly sure you can double up on and not lose any time on the next GCD. Any two of Leg Sweep, Blood for Blood, Internal Release, Mercy Stroke, and maaaaybe the two Surges can fit in the inter-GCD window. And this is with i110 skill speed. It's possible you lose a tenth of a second or so, I guess, but if I miss an off-GCD for whatever reason, I'd rather fit two of the fast ones in one window than wait two GCDs. If this advice is not already wrong and terrible, it certainly will be at i130 levels of skill speed.

Done everything solo and using the duty finder so far. There's so many systems in this game, it can be overwhelming, even considering I came from multiple years of raiding WoW.

Between this and the Succor thing I think we're going to have to temporarily revoke your advice giving license. You should be using Circle of Scorn because it's off GCD, which means while it's bad, it's bad and completely free and effortless to use.

Succor is a great spell to cast when bored if only because any shield is better than no shield.

I had a BLM in AV that didn't use Fire 3 or Blizzard 3. He would cast Fire until he was out, transpose, blizzard until he could transpose again. I asked him why he wasn't using Fire 3 or Blizzard 3, expecting an answer that left an opening to explain why he should use them. Instead he says "They cost a lot of MP but if you want I'll use them" and he starts to do Fire 3 spam until empty, transpose, Blizzard 3 spam, etc. So I tell him how Fire 3 and Blizzard 3 work, how he should be using them instead of transposing and Fire I as his main damage. "ok" His new rotation: Fire 3 Blizzard 3 Fire 3 Blizzard 3...

The one thing that made me super jealous about warriors is that switching on Defiance is off the GCD, and it doesn't interrupt your combo.

If you wait until after CT to hit phlebotomize you get the extra buff from disembowel on the DOT ticks. It also lines up perfectly that you only do one GCD between each of your combos. I don't know that it's "wrong" to do it your way. I just know you won't get full buffs on that first one. If you space it out you can have HT, B4B, inner release, and disembowel up for both of your DoTs.

This sounds a lot like the 2 Thaumaturges i got in copperbell during low level roulette. Neither of them transposed or would listen to me when i told them to wait for me to hold aggro to begin casting.

At least you guys didnt get a party that I assume was fully ps3 because none of them talked, the healer prefered to spend all their time lobbing rocks at mobs in sastasha and then they just kept going without me after I sat and left them do whatever they wanted. Saw them keep getting murdered for no reason. Then I had another group where the healer didnt know how to spot heal so all he did was cast medica till he ran out of mp.

So I haven't been paying attention to crafting at all since they added desynthesis and the like in, and even then, I hadn't managed to gear up basically any of my crafters after getting them to 50. Is there anything in this patch resembling a catch up mechanic for crafting, or should I just resign myself to slogging through the two and three star stuff?

Even if this is true Phlebotomize and Chaos Thrust both have front loaded damge in addition to the DoT that is improved by having Disembowel up. Also putting off Phlebotomize until after your CT combo lets refreshing your various abilities line up better in my experience.

So since coming back yesterday after quitting in 2.0.. I got my halloween stuff done, unlocked all the hard mode dungeons, started the Hildibrand quests, started continuing the main storyline, unlocked Ixali dailies, gained desynthesis, hunt access, aesthetitican access, and glamour access. I'm sure I'm still missing a bunch of random poo poo. So I should be doing hunts and CT as a ilvl 59 BLM or only do hard modes right now? I plan on leveling up ROG/NIN and possibly changing to that as my main class as well. Also..I only have 130k..not sure where to start with gaining gil. I have WVR/CRP/GSM/CUL at 50 and the rest at 15-30~ for skills. I have full AF for the 50s (basically aside from materia, I was geared to max for 2.0 crafting).

I don't think we'll really see a huge reset until a level cap increase. edit: I guess if the new masterbooks are locked behind some actually difficult synths that might be a roadblock too.

Yeah I thought about that after I posted and couldn't remeber which it was. Regardless it's better for that front 170 potency even if it doesn't change the remaining.
