I googled around before I posted and every other site I've seen except that one says it's the healer's HP. That's also how it reads to me. But then again being wrong is kindof my thing, so who the gently caress knows.

That's a specific feature of WM and it relates to weaponskills and not abilities. Spells typically are the only things cast.

If crafting is worse than drops/currency, what makes it profitable?

Also, I wish that retainers had a shared inventory space.

There's always people leveling other classes and they'll always want to get some sort of gear. Some won't settle for NQ stuff off of vendors and will turn to the marketboard for HQ stuff. Since they're secondary classes, they'll have plenty of gil to spend.

For tanks that are using one Slaying ring and one Fending ring (or any combination of slaying/fending accessories), crafted accessories will always be better than mixing and matching. Heck, the i110 crafted accessories melded are better than using one i180 fending/i180 slaying ring. I ended up buying around 190 or so Strength IVs at like less than 5000 gil each over the past couple weeks waiting for the crafters to catch up so I can get a set of melded i150 crafted accessories, which by current projections are going to remain better than mixing and matching fending/slaying all the way up to i220 or so.

Everything has a cast time, weaponskills just have a cast time of zero seconds.

I really like being able to repair parts of my gear on the fly anywhere to 200% condition. Slowly leveling up all my crafting skills with leves.

Having lvl 50 carp is very nice but you can easily do it with just 15 in every class.

The big ones are hasty touch(15 cook), rumination(15 something), steady hands 2(37 carp?), careful syn 2(50 weaver), tools of the trade(15 something), and brygots(sp?,50 carp).

You cant macro good conditions for tools of the trade or excellent conditions for touches because they are procs. You can kinda macro for brygots.

Non-elemental. I don't think this has any actual gameplay applications, however.

non-elemental had a gameplay aspect in ffxiv 1.0 when monsters could be weak to or resist certain elements but upon reflection i'm not sure unaspected damage happened then

1.0 had a huge boner for being totally anal in weapon damage types though, like nowadays all spears are piercing damage, but in 1.0 a halberd would be like 60% slashing 20% piercing 20% blunt damage

I'm either a friend or a foe. Depends on who's looking.
Divine Veil's barrier itself is cast by you, the PLD, so the "Barrier Effect" is referencing you. As such, everyone in range gets 10% of your Max HP as a damage barrier. The way it's worded throws people off because of the "cast" in the description.

You can't use it until you own the game. You have to deal with all that code nonsense during the 30 days that come with the game.

Realized you can wear Disciple of the Land/Hand on every class.


What Egi have you been using for the current endgame content?
Ever since Radiant Shield got buffed, I've been exclusively using Ifrit.
I like the higher damage and aoe abilities for add heavy fights.

Haven't really used Garuda since Heavensward, but I suppose Tri-Disaster and Contagion have nice synergy.

Contagion still makes Garuda the better choice most of the time to my knowledge. Ideally you should be using Tri Disaster and Contagion every time you enter Dreadwyrm Trance to milk that 10% damage boost as much as you can.

Contagion+Bane is also very potent in add pack situations.

All the top summoners I know use Ifrit pretty much exclusively. According to my static's SMN, Ifrit beats Garuda in a straight up potency battle and also isn't dependent on the fight having a lot of uptime. He says the only fight you'd want to use Garuda on would be one with a lot of uptime that also has movement or some sort of mechanic that would hurt Ifrit's DPS too much.

I'd use Ifrit even if it were a little bit worse because I can't be assed to manage Contagion :v:

Put the ability on a hotkey. It's that simple.

You should be doing the same with Radiant Shield if you're using Ifrit.

F13-F24 is the standard key set, it works in windows and in other games.

FF14 recognizes I pushed a button, but:

I guess they mean to say they aren't standard on a keyboard. The key commands could exist in PC, but you wouldn't be able to activate it without holding shift or something.

It's probably "part of the standard" but it isn't actually normal to find a keyboard with those keys and a lot of software doesn't bother supporting them. Which is a shame because I'd love to bind extraneous mouse buttons to some of them to get around lack of support for 6+ mice buttons in stuff without using a key that's actually on my keyboard.

Very cool, learn something everyday. Thanks! Old keyboards looked wacky with that many functions keys.

All keyboards have F13-24. You press SHIFT+F1 for F13. This makes sense I guess to not have to deal with some poo poo that tries to bind a key to shift+F13.

Apparently from a friend of a friend on gilgamesh who was able to do this and he put in the report there was duping that was possible before that emergency maintenance happened. The gist was "You initiate a trade with someone, and as the trade was going you would try to start another trade with a 3rd person and it would cut the connection and both parties would end up with the item.".

Make your mouse buttons use keybinds like Alt+Ctrl+Shift 1-9 or other combinations you aren't normally going to press with your hand(s).
