The final Fractal boss does about 3.2k on a Paladin sans cooldowns. It's not a concern unless your healer is falling asleep at the wheel.

So kind of want to try this game out on PS4. Never played it and don't know much about it but think I'd dig it What's my best bet of getting a copy? Does every physical copy come with a key? Can I just buy one 2nd hand? An expansion was just released as well, correct?

Don't buy the expansion unless you're level cap and have finished the entire ARR story, which you obviously haven't. Not good answers I know, but FFXIV is very story oriented (especially for an MMO) so they didn't want people who haven't seen the story diving right in to the expansion.

It's usually fairly cheap, and you can buy a physical or digital copy. Heavensward is a separate purchase that only makes sense after you finish the main game's story.

Ah ok it's only $20 locally. Dumb question but this needs the disc like every other ps4 game right after install? Probably just go digital if that's the case

Accounting for the health difference, the numbers do line up, so I guess I just need to get rid of the 58 white belt and ring. Still a bit odd to see ~4.5K on a mitigated hit, though.

The only time I've wiped on the last boss of Fractal is when the healer decided to run in front of me as the tankbuster went out, and then panicked and ran right into a landmine.

I apologize, that was rude of me.

It could also be that your dps are too dumb to know that standing in glowing squares and literal landmines is a bad thing and your healer just can't bear to see someone kill themselves on that fight.

To be fair, you've been pavlov'd to bee line straight for those juicy red pillar mines, and I don't blame anyone who ran headfirst the first time. I don't know how the hell you wipe because of it though.

One time on Waukkeon we had double bard dps and they both repelling shotted off the area at 50%

The hardest dungeon boss is that stupid golem in Qarn because you inevitably get a new pub healer who just keeps getting hit by the AoEs and dying instantly.

The final boss of Fractal is only hard if your tank is incapable of avoiding the bad poo poo on the ground or if the dps has a deathwish and keeps setting off landmines next to the group. Even then its easy to oneshot.

I died once on the Fractal boss because I got overeager on trying to kill one of the Educator Drone Guys myself Also coming into 60 fresh with a hodgepodge of sub-150 white gear I immediately tried to pull massive packs and kind of got exploded but those are a hell of a lot more managable now

Realtalk: both Expert final bosses can get sketchy if your group is getting extra cycles. It shouldn't wipe you if you're actually good at your class, but Curator in a sub-150 group is tight on the healer's mana even if no one gets hit because of the dispels. If your tank and/or DPS are bad, I can definitely see how you can struggle there.

SwissArmyDruid posted:I'm surprised more people aren't annoyed about Fractal Continuum's last boss. That's a very hard-hitting tankbuster on a very short timer, I have yet to run a group that oneshots it. Frankly, it's just not very fun, and I would much rather run around Neverreap and swing my axe around for ludicrous crits on adds. It's an easy loving trash dungeon and if you have problems I feel bad for you.

if healers are oom'ing on the last boss in fractal its because they're chain casting medica2/equivalents and not rotating their MP cooldowns or panichealing over what is pretty spaced out, consistent, easy to predict damage ie not good healers

I don't know why I even bother trying to keep Enochian up on that Neverreap final boss. Like I honestly don't think it's worth the mental effort and rotation gymnastics required for such a minimal DPS increase; most of the time on that boss I spend all of my brainpower trying to watch it and the AOEs/adds and end up accidentally dropping Astral Fire or not having enough MP left to do Blizz 3  In general, what's the best way to recover if you end up with too little MP for Blizz 3? I guess the only real options are Transpose, which means you probably won't have enough time left to keep Enochian up, or Convert, which has waaay too long of a cooldown to be a reliable emergency cast.

more like dICK posted:Bismarck is a bad fight because Bismarck is barely involved. Be glad that bismarck's too dumb to just destroy Cid's airship. The fight on Extreme really isn't that bad. Unless your DPS are terrible in which case you're pretty hosed. Ibram Gaunt posted:I think Bismark EX is decently enjoyable, too bad it's extremely easy and there's no real reason to run it more than once. Don't worry, it's going to show up in the relic chain soon enough when 3.1 hits. KaneTW posted:I'm just really frustrated when you do Sohm Al and do half the party's DPS as a Warrior. Having Deliverance tends to make you poo poo out damage  When I had it for a LLDR the other day the NIN was doing pretty good damage and the BRD was probably doing good DPS for a lvl 53 BRD? He was doing way less than the NIN but I wouldn't expect BRDs to be on par with NINs. psymonkey posted:I started using ACT two nights ago to try and improve my own play since I really want to try and keep up with content now that I've caught up to the gear curve and I've never played an MMO seriously before this, and DPS checks seem to be A Thing. Were you failing even when using LB? In the PF groups where this happened having a melee LB1 asap helped sometimes. Though you're still probably kinda hosed in the last phase if the DPS is too slow and you can't kill the adds before they start breaking poo poo. Malloreon posted:Is there a better general overview for leveling from 55-60? Kill your rank 1-3 hunt targets every day because it's 1-3 mobs for 23-30k XP per target and it's very nice. Having all 3 daily lists is more XP per day for my WAR than LLDR+bonus in some cases and far more laid back. When I was getting MNK to 60 in early access they were still one of the first things I'd do each day because few things gave more XP faster. LITERALLY MY FETISH posted:It could also be that your dps are too dumb to know that standing in glowing squares and literal landmines is a bad thing and your healer just can't bear to see someone kill themselves on that fight. Or they do know it's a bad idea and so one of them triggers a nearby landmine so it'll throw you in to the middle of a bunch of glowing squares and kill you.  bonewitch posted:I did it on like Day 4 of EA when almost nobody had done it before. Fights easy as hell. {Same}

Are DPS queues for Neverreap/Fractal 20+ minutes on other servers, or is this something special about Faerie? Like I was all excited that they made grinding out Tomestones and gear so easy in this expansion but I'm stuck in queues that are literally longer than the dungeons half the time. Everyone I ask about it just seems to say "welp, DPS " but I don't know if there are more efficient ways I could be getting gear or what. Only other thing I can think of is to play something else while queueing
