One thing I like about MCH is it's nice to be playing a class again that starts out with 3 DPS increases from cross classes (Raging Strikes, B4B, Hawk's Eye). Hitting all of them and then doing some Rapid Fire Spread Shots on a group is pretty fun.

Eimi posted:Pureblood Garleans actually tend to have elezen models, Cid is the one exception who doesn't. It's why Nero or Gaius were so tall, and especially evident on Nael. As for Hilda, she's our resident half breed. Pureblood Garleans really aren't Hyur when you get down to it. They're a separate race, what with the third eye and all. Of course, there's also nothing really like them in the lore either. The Allagan didn't have a third eye...

Killsion posted:It functions exactly like one of the mechanics in the Siren fight in Pharos Sirius. The effect ends once you hit full health. Also no, there is no way to have the macro go off only after you have "died". Best you can do is "Yo! I popped Living Dead! I'm about to die from something probably, so let me die! Remember to heal me back to full though after or I'll actually die for reals! Thanks!" Oh is that how that works? Alright, I've heard conflicting reports.

Gearhead posted:Pureblood Garleans really aren't Hyur when you get down to it. They're a separate race, what with the third eye and all. Random speculation but maybe the Garleans are an Allagan experiment and the third eye is a magic suppressant. We know the Allagans loved chimeras, and no Garlean can use magic.

cheetah7071 posted:Doing every side quest and lldr once per day will get you to 58 and two thirds or so when the msq wants you to be 59, with no gaps at lower levels. This will happen again for level 60. If you're earlier than that, just do lldr or quests, if you're there, run dungeons. I never really did hunts in vanilla can I solo these or do I need a group?

Ciaphas posted:What does Deliverance itself do? Do you lose the mitigation from Defiance while it's up? Defiance got changed for the expansion. Instead of giving stacks of 2% crit, it gives stacks of 2% parry now. A little disappointing, because it actually meant that under Unchained with full stacks, it was a DPS *increase* over being out of Defiance. In any case, the 2% crit-per-stack got moved to Deliverance, and Deliverance itself adds 5% damage on top of it. Changing directly from one to the other converts any stacks you have into the appropriate stack type of the other. Yes, you lose the mitigation from Defiance while it's up, both the increased HP, and increased healing. e:fb

Man, hearing that Machinist is falling short in DPS is kinda bumming me out. I'd be fine playing a slightly substandard class for the style, but not if it's as bad as everyone is making it out to be. Does anyone have any parses, or anything like that? I'm curious how much I'd be losing by switching from my monk.

I'm curious how much I'd be losing by switching from my monk. Most parses are incorrectly reading their dot and wildfire. And the figures given using said parses are ranging from as "bad" as being 10% below other dps to outrageous claims of doing 30% of the damage of a real dps. If they are bad they'll get buffed, if they aren't who cares. Either way it only matters for progression raiding.

Parser was updated yesterday and it includes Wildfire and their dot. Edit: Also looks like my intuition earlier was right. Gauss Barrel is a DPS decrease for everything but AoE, even without taking movement into account. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1cB-j_r0xrHGO99H8l5eGNau_Sx-gSRhXjEehVWpYrxU/edit#gid=469259023

I'm curious how much I'd be losing by switching from my monk. I wouldn't worry at all about them falling short in terms of pure numbers. If they really are below the norm, buffing the potency of some of their abilities is a very simple fix and should happen relatively quickly. The only thing you should care about is whether you find their play style enjoyable or not, because that's the thing that is least likely to change in the short-term.

People in this game are surprisingly nice. People actually explain fights to you if you tell them you're new and its your first time for dungeons instead of rolling their eyes and groaning about it. Maybe because I'm doing the low level dungeons and everything changes when it gets higher. Also running around doing my quests I'd get random whispers asking how I'm enjoying the game and if I needed help in anything because they saw the sproutling beside my name. Its not just one person either, I've gotten dozen of these whispers already. Its really strange and somewhat frightening how nice everyone is being.

sword_man.gif posted:crafting level 51 items with gutter gear and no supra/lucius tool sucks edit: You'll probably want to take the 45+ leves to get to 53 (takes around 15 or so), and then get the mainhand and offhand. Mainhand is worse than lucis but offhand is better than artisan even after melds. Even that is sort of expensive though since the material supply isn't that high for some of the rarer stuff.

Yeah at least you're still doing something it doesn't help that the sound effect for everything but clean shot is super underwhelming so you literally feel like you're just shooting a pop gun while dragoons do rising spear uppercuts and ninjas do crazy flip slashes

Re-dl'ing this game, mostly because I miss dungeons. pretty much startin from scratch, used to have a level 50 White Mage back in Oct-November '13. Had some awesome macros... Benediction is the best White Mage Skill there is, you're an idiot if you think its something else. Anyways, I'm going for a catgirl monk or highlander hyur monk, still thinking on it. Its gonna suck leveling lancer to fuckin 34 though. So, I was just wondering a couple things, people still run lowbie dungeons? And what servers do you guys play on? My biggest regret leaving this game was not completing the Coil either :c, but I was in a huge depression funk and the pressures of being a healer got to me ; 3 ; while I initially wanted to be a monk.

It was so clutch that I think he was a bit dumbfounded for a few seconds before doing a taunt. That's cool to know though, does it make White Mage better than Scholars~ I mean well, they always were :^)

I'm finding it sort of unsafe to use at below 50% mana; and unless you're at full mana using it with Dark Passenger is practically a death sentence. Early on I'll pop it for Power Slash (or if I feel like I need the extra enmity), but generally I use it to buff up Dark Dance or Dark Passenger for blind on trash. I don't use it and dark passenger unless I've got over 50% mana either, generally. e: I'll also Dark Arts a Soul Eater if I've got high mp and high threat and don't have to worry about either in the immediate future. dreffen fucked around with this message at 21:05 on Jun 22, 2015 |
