I'd take consistent garbage over rolling the dice with duty finder.

My plan to check out healing in FFXIV and get caught up to Heavensward ended on level 35. At least I'll be in a prime position to heal all these DRK tanks.

Still can't decide if I'm going to go DRK immediately or stay DRG or WAR. On the one hand, DRK is flashy, and I just crafted a full set of gear for them, and I'm a sucker for gothic plate (Which the AF set for it seems to be), but WAR remains the giant axe master race, and DRG is just... Fitting for this expansion. I guess I still have three hours to figure it out. I wish I could sleep

For anyone who hasn't gotten it yet, you can still get Heavensward from GreenManGaming for 25% off ($30).

It's going to be bad.

Have they talked about cross class yet? I'm wondering what will be CC for DRK. I'd guess just defensive cooldowns...

I think I'm going to unlock DRK ASAP and level that up. I've never played a tank before but I've seen PRO takns before and they run forward and grab 5 packs of mobs so I guess I'll do that, this'll be AWESOME.

I'm probably going to go grab DRK shortly after logging in and then work on unlocking swiftcast so I can get better at not-yet-a-WHM, On the other hand...all those DRKs in duty finder and having played WAR almost all the time is going to cause hell on my sanity.

The only way to not get stuck with a terrible DRK is to become the DRK and do your best.

lol, I resubbed literally the first day it was possible to still get the welcome back gearset. So should I play BRD, BLM or WHM for starting Heavensward? I am literally incapable of making weighty decisions like this on my own.

In anticipation of all the garbage first time tank DRKs, I've looked up what you need to know to help them out. If you're in such a group, here is the phrase you need to use: "spam Unleash more please :^)"

I still say it's fun to go back into the older threads and see just how goddamn far we've come. Especially the old 1.0 threads, full of despair. http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3353297 - original retail thread, the dawn begins to break on page 62. http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3433215 - Yoshi-era 1.0, ends when the servers go down. http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3516878 - the transition, beta, and launch 2.0 thread. Watching people realize the game is good in this thread is just -inducing. Now, of course, we get to fill the current thread with talk of bad DRKs and fracture. So far, yet still so near~

I wasn't around until a few months after the ARR launch, so it's fascinating reading threads from the transitional period between 1.0 and 2.0. How did the Legacy program work? 1.0 and ARR seems so different I'd assume it was something more complicated than just your character and all of your stuff being ported over, right?

Unguided posted:There have always been bad tanks, this just increases the odds of getting one. My first time ever in a dungeon, I had a tank who never used Flash for the entire instance. Miraculously we pulled through because I drew the most enmity as an Archer so I could just keep running around, and the healer was top-notch. Simultaneously a negative and positive first impression.

Tolth posted:Can someone explain to me, as a relative newbie, why Fracture is a thing? Real answer: I missed whatever the big shitstorm was that made it a "thing", but here's what I imagine was the argument. Basically it's a 220 potency dot without the trait, which puts it just on the bubble of being worth your time to use. On Warrior you get a trait eventually that turns it into a 300 potency dot which is.. still pretty bad, but worth using if you're a Warrior. Personally I usually work it in after my maim combo.
