I play from Korea and never have a problem with landslides and lags. Plumes, on the other hand, are bullshit. I have to be out while Titan is still doing the move before them.

The armory bonus pre-50 is now 100% instead of 50%.

People keep saying this, but I think it only applies if your highest level character is 50 or above.

Unless the new armory bonus is tied to buying the HW expansion for some reason.

AT1 and AT3 are definitely my favorites, although AT1 is an admittedly dull fight for tanks, at least on Normal mode. While I appreciate the Quarantine thing on AT4 as a mechanic, it also feels like I'm not actually goddamn doing anything for 2/3rds of the fight as the OT.

Use Recharge on the red Gobwalkers when they are at 10% HP or less. Both blue Gobwalkers can recharge off of the same red Gobwalker.

Nope, if your highest class is level 2 your level 1 classes will get 100% bonus.

The little noise when the missles get sucked into the puddles you drop by killing adds in Alex 1 is so good.

MTing AT4 is really boring too because you also basically do nothing other than soaking orbs and taking lines.

On the other hand, tanking AT2 is a glorious clusterfuck of the sort not seen since turn 4. Helps to have the other tank on voice chat.

AT4 also blows for DRK in particular since you can't parry the boss itself only the dumb little adds so you lose out on reprisal almost entirely and don't get to kick people as often.

So what's the difference between the healers, roughly? WHM feels very direct and easy, SCH feels more like it's about shields and poo poo, and AST feels kind of like WHM lite but with some sweet buffs.

I'm looking into healing because tanking is boring as hell and I'd like to be more useful than just a dumb damage dude. I'm digging AST right now, but I haven't really played the others enough to get a feel for them.

That's what happens when you kill one. You have to try to kill them close together. e: timing, that is, not position

On the other hand you can fly across the arena with Plunge and solo an add by yourself which looks super cool.

Yes, there are collectibles from level 50 nodes in west Coerthas (mining, 12 am/pm) and forelands (botany, 2 am/pm). The latter has a friendly bear nearby, so use stealth. Once you've discovered them, your process is basically toil -> collector's glove -> click item -> discerning eye -> methodical appraisal x2 -> collect x4, 500 GP required.

Assuming your perception is high enough for those 2.5 appraisals to get you to the minimum turn-in requirement for those items, that'll net you ~240k exp for turning them in, for each of those two gatherers, twice per game day.

I always ended up just getting the add that spawns right near the second leg so it wasn't as entertaining.

It might not be necessary but it helps when your dfed healers suck and can't deal with your tank using anything but the best of cooldowns.

My group only ended up seeing the tank buster twice in our kills and I didn't bother CDing for the first and just popped shadow wall for the second. No need for swap really, unless you're also in the process of soaking orbs or something (which happened one kill)

They'll also both self destruct if your dps is absolute garbage.

In Neverreap for Waukkeon the boss guide says leave the Mists up until he spawns the rest, but most of the time I see people start dpsing them right away. What's the correct way to deal with the adds during his fight?

It's not a big deal either way, but it's probably a slight dps boost to ignore it until you have to kill adds.
