Guys so I have this issue and I don't know if its been brought up yet or not but i got FFXIV on steam and i got Heavensward on steam and the Heavensward key didn't work. I got a refund, but I don't know how I should upgrade now. :(

I had that happen to me on a vanilla non steam copy. key got rejected on the mog station like 4 times, then worked no problem on the 5th attempt. Which makes no god drat sense but... welp.

I think youre hosed if you dont get it from steam though, once youre locked into the steam client you have to do it all through that store or buy a completely new basegame which isnt exactly cost effective.

On some peoples' screenshots, I see a percentage number next to enemy HP bar. Is that something you can turn on in the client or are people using TPT?

You want to replace one of those Snap Punches with a Demolish and re-up it when its at less than 5 seconds or so. Do the same with Touch of Death. At 50 you get Dragon Kick which replaces one of your Bootshines, and your full rotation becomes essentially DK->TS->Demo->BS->TS->SP (you'll need to change up the timing of demo as the fight progresses or else you'll end up clipping it too much)

Yeah that's pretty much mine, except my opening rotation is Touch of Death->BS->TS->SP->DK->Twin Snakes->Demo. I then switch to BS->TS->SP->BS->TS->SP->DK->Twin Snakes->Demo and work in Touch of Death just before it runs out.

Fracture is a perfect way to get more bang for your DoT buck. Use it when one of them has five seconds left, and then reapply the dot right when it falls off

Invigorate is the best cross class ability for any DPS that can take it period. It will massively increase your longevity and with Greased Lightning 3 you tend to be one of the first classes that runs out of TP.

Except Touch of Death is a better Fracture in every way and Fracture costs too much TP for MNK's. Mercy Stroke's nice for some execute oomph/health gain if you time it well.

Assuming you have enough TP, Fracture is a dps increase on MNK


Etrips posted:

Invigorate is unbelievably cruical. Blood For Blood is a great dps increase and you should aim to have it soon after hitting 50. Fracture is good if you have the TP for it (Nin/Bard feeding your TP, or a fight with lots of downtime). Mercy Stroke is free damage.

Your last slot will probably be Foresight, Keen Flurry or Bloodbath depending on preference and the fight.

Niton posted:

It's definitely not intended - as your collectability increased, not only did the rate you got clusters go down (because of Aethersand, naturally), but the amount you got went down. The clusters themselves are intentional, but not the volume (which might be 10x intended, if regular Moraines are anything to go off of).

It would be very surprising to me if they decided to do an emergency maintenance over this considering it's been known and talked about since people first hit 60 miner/botanist and tested what aetherial reduction was about. Even if they give too many crystals or clusters, it isn't something worth taking the servers down immediately versus waiting a few hours until it isn't prime time. People have been farming this for weeks. I'd think the amount of stuff you get from aetherial reduction is completely intended anyways, it's supposed to eclipse just hitting a rock to get them. And no, it doesn't give you 300 a minute over time or anything close to that because you need to touch 3 rocks in between the ephemeral node to respawn it, and if it doesn't have one of the rare rocks (it usually doesn't, but they aren't that rare) you will get almost nothing from the normal rock.

T2 enrage takes longer than doing it normal, though. I haven't made it to Burden yet but I'm guessing times less than two minutes on that fight are a bit faster than they should be.

it's still broken and allows you to do the fight without doing any mechanic

my point is basically that it doesn't matter in the slightest for the game if a group can kill a piss-easy boss in 2 minutes or 5 minutes

They pretty much accepted t2 enrage though. One time a patch broke it (made the enrage a lot stronger) and they reverted it because of that.

What is probably a bug is how you get ethereal nodes to spawn faster, but that's still not something to take the servers down over, especially not after an entire month.

what, respawning them by looking at the nearby nodes and closing them out without harvesting anything? I really doubt if they'd hotfix that since regular nodes work the same way and everyone has been taking advantage of it forever to get maps and other hidden stuff.
