Did a bit more playing with WM and it loving owns. I'm parsing up around 10% lower than non-support dps, compared to 30% lower pre-change. (10-15% was how much lower you usually did in 2.x)

Panic! at Nabisco posted:She was just sort of randomly casting blizzard and fire. Obviously, she parsed comically low. (I did get a little snarky when I should have been patient, I'm only human.) Almost every black mage I play with just bounces back between fire/blizzard at random and it makes me want to cry. I swear a few of them just hit things at random because they'll bliz II at range or throw sleep at a boss or flare at full mp in the middle of a fight. One moved to bard and the other's thinking about switching to SMN so maybe I'll grind my teeth less when grouping with them.

pksage posted:A little! Mostly it just invoked We're On A Fantasy Adventure! to me, which is a good thing to invoke. I really like that the 3.0 story has you traveling around on a quest as part of an NPC party, classic FF style. It was very satisfying. It's a fun scene and I really liked those quiet character interaction moments they worked in throughout the story. Heavensward's story is actually really road-trippy in spots, which I enjoyed a lot, and I think pretty much all of the core NPCs are solid, likeable characters, which ARR never quite managed to pull off. For how exciting and "oh poo poo I have to see what happens next" the end of 2.55 is, the resolution to that storyline is probably the weakest part of HW, and even then there's some good stuff in it; Lolorito is an eminently hateable antagonist and I hope we get to deal with him for real one day.

I actually wasn't too upset with the resolution with regard to that character. I think it is definitely going to be a main focus of the 3.X quests. They already mentioned at the fanfests that Omega weapon is part of this expansion. They said something alone the lines of "In Heavensward players will be able to engage in epic fights with stuff like the Dragons and Omega." So that has to rear its head. I think Lolorito comes across as a perfect rear end in a top hat puppetmaster. We know he's evil, but we have literally NO power against him because he pulled strings and those who KNOW he pulled the strings are now dead or branded as traitors. He comes off looking clean and kind of has Raubahn by the balls on this one. He's essentially Lex Luther if Lex Luther was a potato.

I apologized to the group, dropped, and never EXDR'd again in 2.5.5  I am glad HW made the Varlet set vendor trash, now I can get the look of the armor without suffering the rng! e: Mordiceius posted:Only dungeon that I will automatically drop out of is Totorak.

Yeah I always drop Toto-Rak. Even if you have a good group it takes forever because of the goddamn sticky floors. That section drags on forever and it doesn't even have very many enemies. Like I've done Tam Tara way more but at least it's quick if everyone knows what they're doing.

GreatRedSpirit posted:Haukke is the highest at 28-31, you just got poo poo luck by the sounds of it Ah. Well I always loving get Totorak. And it was insane too because I would queue for LLDR as an AST and get placed with a DRK and two MCH in Totorak. So either one of them specifically queues for Totorak or it took 4 people in the LLDR and just placed them all in Totorak - which is a loving war crime.

A warrior dpsing will probably do substantially more than an AST or something but an undergeared drk or pld will probably do better to tank stance if there's a WHM or SCH.

FF14 Explorer can open FF14's data files including the one with music which you can extract as OGG I think. Not sure which file has it though. You'd have to edit the extracted OGG to add a second loop or fade out if you want it too.

As a Tank, my instinct is to always commend the Healer. Although I've also gotten into the habit of awarding anyone with the newbie leaf next to their name.seiferguy posted:
Why am I reminded of Tom Servo? After doing the quest to "fix" your magitek mount, I have to wonder if they asked Yoko Taro to guess-write a quest or two.
