Ever since our drop-off service, I never read a book.
There's always something else around, plus I owe the library nineteen bucks.

In my experience they're fine except at around 8pm they start throttling the network and the game becomes an unplayable shitshow for the rest of the night unless you run WTFast. So yeah actually not fine.

WTFast are terrible awful "gamerz" assholes but apparently at least you can use the service for complete free now and it works well to get around Verizon throttling so please check it I guess

Can a parser be installed on a pc to pull packets from a ps4? If so does it have to be on a hub or will it work on a switched network?

I find it funny that I'm using my verizon wireless tethering to play the game and have no problems with it yet a friend with fios keeps bitching about it.


Also I had fios in socal and it was great, i miss it dearly.

Every time I yank a jawbone from a skull and ram it into an eyesocket, I know I'm building a better future.

So is the preferred method of making HQ 50-59 items any different than I have been doing it? Mostly I do Inner Quiet > Steady Hand II > Hasty Touch > Manipulation when my Durability is low while throwing in Tricks of the Trade when it procs.

You can approach most 51-60 crafts as a three star craft when you're not wearing full HQ and you'll be correct.

Use master's mend 2 instead if it's a high durability craft. Use comfort zone for a free 16 CP. Keep track of your CP and make sure you have enough to do steady hand->great strides->innovation->byregot's blessing at the end. Use steady hand 2 for progress.

Maybe I should get a goldsmith and Alchemist to 50 for those cross class then. Is Byregot's Blessing better than Byregot's brow at 51 since I Don't have a level 50 Carpenter.

You want to use Precise Touch instead of Tricks if you can spare the CP and you have Steady Hand II up.

Brow is worse than Blessing unless you have 6 IQ stacks or less, so it's mostly a last ditch if you get unlucky.

If you're serious about crafting, byregot's blessing is completely non-negotiable. The other stuff I mentioned can be done without, but nothing replaces blessing. That said, if you just want to be able to made your own food for raids or whatever, you can probably force through enough HQs using the scrip action that gives you tons of goods.

e: Brow would probably be an ok replacement for blessing if it were usable on normal quality, but as it is it's just so RNG-dependent that I find it useless. Just lining it up with great strides can be a huge headache.

edit: I'm leveling WHM and just had my first bad tank

First of all this mother fucker had serious ADD. 55 BRD, 52 SMN/SCH, 51 BLM and was tanking on a 20 MRD. Second, he didn't know what AOE was or target switching so it ended up where he'd pull, then I'd get aggro from 2/3 mobs, the bard would pull one off me, and I'd have to heal three god drat people. gently caress I hate people.

I did get all three comms though

It's a lv 20 dungeon. Dps will be tanking.

Monks have almost all their combo attacks as positionals and are more sustained DPS compared to Dragoon's burst DPS.

I knew about this beforehand, but drat, they've really expanded the arsenal. It's pretty fuckin' sweet, even compared to how it was before. It was a pretty great node tracker/recipe lookup/checklist before...

Now it's kind of a one-stop shop for everything you need.

You need to buy both seperately BUT don't buy a Heavensward key until you've completely and utterly finished the A Realm Reborn storyline, because all it lets you do before that is make a dragondemonperson as your character.

e:v As far as I know you can actually hit 60 without Heavensward but it'd be absolute pain to do so
