I'm about to hit level 50 on a few of my crafting jobs (finally  ). For gear - what's the best route to go? I see there's the artisan sets for both ilvl 60 and 70; 60 I can craft, 70 requires some trading, but the 60 set has materia slots. Should I get those, or should I just wait for better gear in HW?

You can get to 51 real fast by burning through a few GC manuals and mass crafting the easiest mats. You'll need a ton of those anyway to craft any of the HW items.

Unlucky7 posted:Lately with my WAR, I have been having Defiance drop inexplicably when warping into DF runs. Like, I prepare Defiance into advance just when I queue, but when I get in I see that it is off. Is this a bug, or some sort of limitation? As noted, any time you get level sync'd it'll kick you out of all your buffs, including things with unlimited duration like tanks' tank/damage stances, healers' cleric stance, monks' fists of X, ninjas' poison, etc. If you've mostly/entirely been doing level 50 content on your jobs for a long time in 2.X, and haven't level sync'd for a fate or for a leveling dungeon/leveling roulette, it's easy to forget that this is a thing that happens.

Speaking of PvP I really like how they explain battlegrounds. It's so refreshing from the retardedness that is WoW: "World's ending, but can't forget to stick it to the Horde/Alliance!  "

Leveling roulette fun times: Zone into a Tam-Tara normal as SCH, with a BLM, PLD, and newbie PUG with the icon over his head. Great, time to let Selene do my job and dps the whole time! First inkling of impending annoyance was that the PLD seemed to be a bit taken aback that I didn't have Protect in my first cross-class slot (I had Cleric's) and was a bit hesitant to go ahead without it. Now this guy is synced from 60 so - whatever. I tell him I can handle it, we get going. He's pulling really small, so the BLM starts being a little cheeky and pulling ahead. I realize that can be annoying for tanks, but he picked them up no problem and didn't say anything, ask the BLM to stop, etc. We get to the pull before the barrier to the boss, he attempts to vote kick the BLM for being AFK. Well he's obviously not AFK so I click no. PLD sits down and says "it's the BLM or you wait for an in-progress tank." Okay ... I tell him we're almost done, he sticks with it, I tell him "gently caress you." Now I probably shouldn't have done that but this touches off the whole thing. He called me a cuntbag, I said "Okay whatever, we don't need you, lets finish up" and we keep going. He realizes his primadonna act isn't going to work when the BLM and I can just tank it ourselves, so he comes back, starts tanking, we get to the boss. He proceeds to not do anything and I tank the boss while he goes off on the most pathetic rant ever.  So being the scrubbiest scrublord that ever did scrub in America, I tanked the boss, got the clear for the newbie, and got my amusement all at the same time. I don't get what these people get out of going off like that, but whatever floats your boat I guess?

I don't get what these people get out of going off like that, but whatever floats your boat I guess? A lot of people simply go by their previous experiences in a given piece of content and assume it must be like that all the time, or simply have a comfort zone which they shut down outside of. Despite being nearly level 60, he probably never did the math and realized that Protect isn't even necessary for pre-30 dungeons, or didn't realize that, especially with the changes to syncing, a SCH can easily solo the dungeons at that level. He flipped out because he was afraid of ephemeral "failure", but for whatever reason couldn't process the information in front of him that revealed his fears were unfounded.

Personally when I was leveling my SCH through there I just started out with Protect (less because it's needed, more to spare myself the inevitable whining), swapped in Cleric Stance and ate the resulting delay as soon as I fired off Protect, and went through the rest of the dungeon like that. Given the choice between a. not having Cleric Stance at all, b. running the risk of dealing with whining about Protect, or c. eating the delay for cross-class swap for the first pull or two, option C was by far the lesser of three evils. If it were people I knew, I'd just go with Cleric Stance and ignore Protect entirely, but scenarios like this demonstrate that people can make a really big stink out of it sometimes.

I usually just tell them that I haven't learned Protect yet. But hopefully when they notice I have Lv60 WHM they can just trust that my faerie hows to heal well enough to keep them alive in Sastasha.

He's a PLD, tell him to cast protect!  Minrad posted:man what the gently caress happened, all the skin markets are suddenly crashing like mad on excalibur I had Blood Dragon daily hunts recently and when I went to where they spawn in the Mists I found like a dozen players camping their spawn points. I'm guessing word got out of a hot market and it got mined to poo poo and back again and something similar happened to the other skin markets.

I can generally make HQ cobalt ingots with relative ease. I've also found that making a stack of HQ food tends to sell well... I just don't have a botanist / fisherman so I'm always buying the ingredients off the MB

Tenzarin posted:Oh man that dps increase of 12 over 18s. God like ability. be smart about this. 220 potency delivered over 18s for a single GCD, unless the skill you were going to use in that gcd has a higher potency, which in many cases it does not (especially when you oncasiannly have to move off target to not stand in the stuff, costing you a few seconds of damage were dots keep ticking anyway), you have a higher overall DPS so long as you don't clip it. If you can make room in your rotation its worth it, take DRG where you can sneak Fracture and Phlebotomize in on every 3rd refresh of Soul of the Dragon where casting Geirskogul would cause Soul to drop before your finisher and leaving about 15 seconds left on the recast cooldown. Drop Fracture and Phlebotomize instead to offset the potency loss and drive straight into your next 1,2,3 to bump up the timer on Soul so you can blow off more faces with 1,2,3, finish, Geirskogul combos. E: and while Im nerding out over Drg, I see this a lot in dungeons, dont forget that your jumps dont interfere with Procs on your combos, and can be clipped over animation of your combo attacks, so you can power surge, 1, jump, 2, Spineshatter Dive, 3, Dragonfire Dive, finisher while only losing about .5 to 1 second depending on your timing, most of that on the animation for dragonfire. I see a lot of drgs throw their jumps out in between combos and there are faster ways to do it. Spaceman Future! fucked around with this message at 19:10 on Jul 23, 2015 |
