It also seems like a lot of the complexity is needless--why are the caps so low and the costs so high, forcing you to go with an in-between of spending scrips on tokens then exchanging the tokens? Is it a server back-end thing? Not to mention the somewhat esoteric means of acquiring all that you need to craft a 2-star item--there are a lot of individual steps involved when you stop to consider it! I mean, it functions in a sense, but there seem to be about two or three more steps in there than there need to be, to me. Magil Zeal fucked around with this message at 19:55 on Jul 28, 2015 |

I've probably gotten rid of gear on gearsets more than I'd like to admit accidentally (usually through materia conversion). Is there a setting to turn on a warning that says "hey this is in a gearset, sure you wanna do this?" cause that'd sure be swell.

Optimizing for the particular fight and party composition can turn you from good to great, too.

Things Raw Intuition works well on: - Single targets, especially bosses - Multiple targets if they're both few and small enough that they all stay in front (relatively rare, all things considered) - Enemies that melee-swing a lot - Enemies whose specials can't be manually dodged, but can be parried (quite a few miscellaneous cleaves fall under this) Things it works poorly, if not counterproductively, on: - Multiple targets if they're either numerous or large enough that they fan around to your sides to politely give each other room (read: most trash packs) - Enemies that use a lot of non-parryable (notably: magic) damage - Enemies which like to make orange ground markers to manually dodge When used in a situation where its auto-parry will kick in for most or all of the incoming damage, it's like an Inner Beast with a much longer duration, since parries are a flat 20% damage reduction now.

Vil posted:Things Raw Intuition works well on: How does Raw Intuition and Awareness work together? I never tried it and now I'm curious which would take precedence (I'd assume Awareness). How about popping RI and then canceling the buff altogether? Only really useful if you need that one extra stack right away but if you're doing dungeon mobs and know RI will be back up before the next time you can use the stack+parry it seems like it'd be a decent ogcd thing to do. e: as long as you have nothing else that needs to be done for that ogcd, I mean

The problem with Awareness is that it is poo poo compared to Internal Release or Featherfoot except for maybe some marginal use situations. I do wish the crit healing from side/back thing was a feature and not a bug, that was actually an intensely interesting mechanic. kafziel posted:I'm kinda curious why he Reclaimed in the first place.

Doubly good because of the fast queue times for now, which will probably taper off sooner or later. So please at least try to help your team though if you queue. Don't be the person who queued for their esoterics and actively harms the enjoyment of the people in there because they care about pvp.

Honestly it just looks like he was counting on miracle procs or for that HT to succeed. His CP is too low for the rotation he was attempting. Also he was a specialist and didn't even have Nymeia in his bar. I think he needed an extreme amount of luck to be able to HQ that item.

I like leveling, so I have plenty else to play when I want something more active, but BLM was great for doing stuff with friends when I'm tired (which is most of the time). That was the nice thing about ARR Black Mage. Your rotation was dead simple and very forgiving, and the challenge of the class was executing it with long hard cast times in fights with movement and positioning. You clipped casts to move when you could, and if you had to cancel a cast to move out of something, it was fine, because you could just start casting again. None of that's true anymore. Well, except the part about long hardcasts, that's still very much in effect. I feel like they could easily fix the entire class by making Fire IV and Blizzard IV instant-casts, or like 1 second cast bars maybe. Suddenly every problem that's ruining the way it plays drifts away. You still have the same concerns and priorities, but you don't have the headache of it anymore.

Suddenly every problem that's ruining the way it plays drifts away. You still have the same concerns and priorities, but you don't have the headache of it anymore. They could also make it feel a lot less strict if B4 could finish even after Enochian expires. Maybe even make that the goal, like trying to not clip a DoT - if Enochian expires, B4 gives you a full, fresh Enochian instead of just a partial refresh. Possibly up the cooldown on Enochian to compensate (though that just makes movement at the wrong time gently caress you even harder). Personally, I'd be happy if B4 and F4 refreshed Umbral/Astral. You'd still use F3 and B3 to quick swap to the opposite, but you wouldn't have the headache of juggling your Umbral/Astral timers along with the Enochian timer and your mana. Then it would really feel a lot more like an evolution on the 2.x BLM instead of a departure to a near completely different playstyle.

Don't be like that. Look, from all I know, defensive cooldowns are multiplicative, not additive. (The go-to example being that if a PLD turns on Shield Oath, Rampart, and Sentinel, they do not get 85% damage reduction, but closer to something like 62%, which the math bears out.) If you could tell me for a fact that evasion is treated additively, as opposed to multiplicatively, I would consider using Featherfoot in place of Awareness. In the absence of such evidence, however, and owing to the fact that WAR is a little short on CDs that reduce magic damage, I'll take Awareness and use it to keep my incoming damage non-spiky as I have pre-HW, or pair it with Raw Intuition and cheese the drawback.

Speaking of crafting a bit earlier up in the thread, where do I go to learn "how to craft" these days? I sort of have it all figured out low level, but now that I have some classes at 50+ everything has gotten a lot more difficult. Things take like double the steps and I'm a bit lost as to how to HQ anything. I did notice that people are actually using the elemental brand synth in conjunction with the new ability that boosts them, but that's all I've really figured out. Is there a guide to rotations somewhere? Googling leads to like 8 million different rotations and none of them seem to really get me HQ on even this level 50 stuff. I have CRP, WVR, ALC, and CUL all at 50 and I'm working on getting the others to 50 but I'm mostly limited by leves at the moment. EDIT: Similar question, when should I upgrade my gear from 50-60? Obviously at 60 I'll just make a full HQ crafted set, but when in between? Poultron fucked around with this message at 21:06 on Jul 28, 2015 |
