Did Excalibur/Primal just poo poo itself?

e: Guess so. Some cutscenes are too awesome for the game to handle.

Wow, Bard and Machinist really ARE kind of similar, that's basically Gauss Cannon to a T, isn't it?

I think bard has more abilities dependent on WM than Machinist does on Gauss Barrel

So is the hunt TS starting back up or are people just using guildworks because everyone uses it now?

My many CoX, always poised, always ready, always willing to thrust.

Can't take you seriously, when you talk about SS the party is now much better, when it pretty much does not stop any damage anymore. Stoneskin is good in exactly one situation: When someone got 10k health and you know there will be a hit for 10,1k. Else it would be just dumb to cast it, because it is expensive like poo poo.

End Game Raiding is by the way not the "bigger picture". Endgame Raiding is the little Freak Show for ~1% of the players. And it was never the point, that Whm can't heal anymore. There was no nerf. But every healer class can do that (and shield much better, too, now even more than before).

That Raw Intuition thing is obviously a ridiculous bug.

What you miss is a comparison. Throwing in single numbers is worthless.

My friend just hit 50 in black mage last night, and said he'd like to read up on proper rotation/skill usage and stuff (particularly for flare.) I know there were a million posts in the last thread that go into great detail on that, can anyone link me to one or repost it for me?

So can someone explain the large-scale temple leves to me? Can they be solo'd? Are they better to do than regular leves if I'm capped out at 100 allowances? Should I save them for alt classes like usual?

They're slightly tougher than single leves, but you can solo them. They're worth about the same XP as 8 single leves, so they're more time-efficient but less allowance-efficient.

A lvl 54 temple leve was giving me under 100k xp total while normal ones were giving around 25k. All of them run at +1 level.

They just seem like a way to burn 100 allowances quickly.
