SwissArmyDruid posted:Pick which combos you use based on what needs to be done. Slashing is almost exclusively the realm of tanks, and if there's a Ninja in the party, well, you can completely forget about using Eye at all, since it is imperative that they get it up with their first combo. But it's not worth fretting too much over, as you need to keep maim up and not finishing combos is a DPS loss. As eye has a stronger potency if damage mitigation doesn't matter, unless you really need the damage reduction, overwrite each other all day who cares.

Hrm. Should have said "you can focus on just alternating between Threat and Path." Didn't mean to imply that Eye use was verboten.

I also posted to see if I was missing something about that situation through someone I barely if ever talk to or even know of hulking out on me like a year from now about it because festering weird and obsessive grudges for years over minor things I get wrong instead of like, talking about it, is the way things apparently get done.

bonewitch posted:Oops i forgot how maim works. Eye is more damage though I disagree. I feel that as an MT, your first combo should be the threat combo. This means the Eye debuff you're waiting for will not get applied until six to nine GCDs in AT THE EARLIEST, depending on whether or not a Tomahawk and/or Overpower were used. Even then, the WAR MT's priority then becomes Path, because 10% damage reduction, and THEN maybe Eye. The 60 potency drop of going from AE to DE is far outweighed by two full combos+ of no slashing debuff. Now, as an OT, forget that, the OT is going to be throwing out Eye like crazy because FELL CLEAVE anyways. Of course, if it's a static and you're talking to eachother on Mumble, why the heck are you taking advice from me? TALK TO EACHOTHER.

For anything other than early progression Path is garbage as well. Also you can totally pull with a maim combo *especially* if you have a ninja giving you shadewalker and smoke bombing your highest DPS player. On the other hand, if you're in DF the likelihood of someone actually being able to pull off you (especially if you're using STR gear) is near 0.

If I'm MT with a ninja in the group, should I be even trying to provide the eye debuff for him/her? Edit oops never mind should refresh before posting, guess the answer is no

Use Eye always. You'll never be hit hard enough in most content to need Path. And even when you do need Path, just use it for a move coming up and then go back to alternating Eye and BB.

Has anybody figured out how perception factors into the rarity increase from appraisal actions? The tooltip for methodical appraisal says "increases rarity by perception x1" but that's obviously bullshit because it only goes up by like 100 and change.

Sure you don't get as much enmity as a BB combo, by the time I'm hitting eye I'd have unchained and berserk up so I would be well ahead of most people at that point. If anyone was close, the full buffed BB seals hate for a good while. Granted I haven't warred at all in 3.0, I don't think that there would be such a dramatic change that you couldn't open with an eye combo if you're doing it right.

If you are MT and you have a ninja, the opener should involve the ninja dropping Shadewalker on you to give you a massive hate lead. I need to experiment with it more on relevant content but that should be enough to let you open with Eye comfortably.

What was the old crafting guide? Everything to 15, then something something something? I thought it was in the OP but apparently not. I've got no plans to play the stupid crafting endgame but I feel like leveling the crafting stuff up a bit right now for some grand company seals (as I just swapped to the best grand company fixing a mistake I made as a noob).

Everything to 15, Cul to 37 for SH2, CRP to 50, WVR to 50. After that it's whatever. This is only relevant if you want to HQ stuff at 50+ though, if you're leveling to get repair capabilities or whatever then it doesn't really matter what order.

Use this site: http://www.ffxivguild.com/ffxiv-cul-culinarian-leveling-guide-ffxivarr/ (this is the CUL example, you can easily find the other ones there too) Essentially, buy the list of items they suggest, then use a company manual, and start craftin' like crazy. The company manuals will get you to 15 pretty fast.

I'm doing triple triad. I'm trying to get those dang cards. When you look at guides or lists of cards that exist about a fifth of them are completely censored out. I mean you go to http://ffxivtriad.com/ and scroll down those 30 cards at the bottom are all ******'ed out. I am told this is because those are heavensward characters? Every single repository for information about FFXIV triple triad has respected this convention to censor out whatever that fat chocobo or cat person's name is? Because suddenly everyone respects name spoilers? Is that the deal? Secondly, I do not have the expansion, is my drop rate for these cards zero point zero? Yellow Dawn in the weaver's guild supposedly drops ******* but with the drop rates on regular cards I don't know if I should give up or keep going when I have a deck that works. Finally, why am I doing this again? Besides these gold packs what can I even win with the gold saucer money. I've opened 20 of these gold packs and keep getting the same two 2* cards.

Capping red gathering scrip is nowhere near as bad as I thought it would be. With the rotation I'm using I can get an average of 83.2 scrip per Eorzean day with a minimum of 64. With the worst case scenario it would take me a little over 7 Eorzean days, which is pretty easy to spread out over a week. That's also not including the potential for star bonuses.

And for pretty princess dressup, don't forget that crafter gear exists - I've found it to be much better than "real" gear. As far as the TT cards, the first thing you should do is take on King Elmer until you can get the Behemoth card, then after that focus on getting 30 cards ASAP. There are a few wikis out there that list opponents by deck strength, take them all on in ascending order starting with the weakest; keep battling them until they give you every card they offer. The gold pack will make you cry - I've opened about 50 at this point, and according to those cards I'm Momodi's biggest fan ever. Everything has been 2* dupes for me, with the exception of a single Cid card (which was also a dupe at that point) and a single Ultima card which for once wasn't a dupe. Don't spend any money on golds until you have all bronze-exclusive and silver-exclusive cards; the ones that are dropped by NPCs are much easier to get from the actual TT matches than spending MGP

That's with having a botanist and a miner at 60, I assume? 16-24 scrip per node, 2 nodes per day per gatherer class. I'm just a miner and still hit 200 last night.
