Awesome! Yeah, I can definitely carve out an hour or two a day, I just can't do the five or six hours four nights a week I used to in other MMOs. Definitely stoked to hit 60 and try this stuff, how long is the 50-60 grind? Assuming I do all the MSQs cus I'm really into it.

If you have a ton of free time these next couple of weeks (and are done with the 2.x story quests entirely) before your program starts you can easily finish the story to 60 and get yourself on the gear treadmill. There are parts where you'll have to stop doing the story to get to the next level, but as a healer you'll have an easy time queuing for the highest level dungeon repeatedly which is the most efficient thing to do as it's best xp/hr and for getting gear upgrades as you go, though if you get bored of that there's other options such as FATEs or doing sidequests.

I'm a little unclear on Glamoring rules. When I get the AF2 gear that is class-dependant, will I be able to transmog more broadly usable equipment to appear like my AF2 gear... like for example if the next set of Tomestone gear is multi-class Fending items, can I make it look like WAR-only AF2 equipment?


You cannot glamor better gear onto lesser gear, or job-restricted gear to unresticted gear. Or at least for job-restricted gear, if you do glamor it onto a generic piece, the glamor won't show if you're not on that job, it will show the original model.

Yes, but the glamour will only show up on Warrior. On PLD/DRK, it'll look like the base item.

You can't glamour gear onto something with a lower required level to equip it, true. But you absolutely can glamour job-restricted gear onto unrestricted gear, so long as they're both something the same class can equip.

The fact that mord has all 60 crafts, like if that's your thing on cool, but no specializations is especially tweaking me.

Also not finishing story when there's so much to be gained from it even crafting yeah.

What's the opening skill rotation for WAR to get 2 possible 3 Fel cleaves in with berserk?

I think it's something like

SP combo (2 stacks) -> BB combo (use 'zerk before the BB, gets to 5) -> FC -> Infuriate -> FC ->SP combo -> BB combo (Vengeance + the parry one somewhere in here so you get 5 before BB) -> FC -> 'zerk ends

I'm sure Boten Anna or Rei_ will be along before long to correct the poo poo out of me though

I was waiting on specializations because I haven't quite made my mind where I want to go with those.

As for leveling my astro/doing the story, I've only been doing MSQ with my wife and she doesn't play as much as me - thus my focus on DoH/DoL.

If you're trying for triple FC, it's SE combo, -> BB combo, one Heavy Swing to prep, Berserk + Internal Release, FC, Infuriate, FC, finish any combo while weaving in Raw Intuition and Vengeance, get one more stack of Abandon, FC. Cap with a Fracture while you've still got the boosted attack power, and you should crash right about then.

It's a bit finicky but if you do IR -> Zerk instead of the other way around you will have about .5 seconds after the third fell cleave goes off to squeeze a buffed Fracture in before pacification is applied. This requires your ping to cooperate, obviously, but depending on the situation it's better then blowing both Intuition and Vengeance for a single zerk window.

Also at the start of this rotation use your potion right after the first BB, before the heavy swing. As far as I've seen there's no way to get a potion to cover all 3 cleaves.

Playing around with ReShader and SweetFX is fun:



The DoF stuff straight up murders your frame rate and does a fairly crap job of guessing what should have blur, so I play with it off. It is a ~8 fps hit to run the color and sharpness corrections though.

Would it be possible to get a list of settings or whatever you're using to set that up? It looks pretty good!

Does the game get more engaging? I'm really struggling here. Started playing because I really wanted to play the healer role in some group content, so I went with Conjurer. Currently level 23 and the three dungeons I've done so far seem really generic and boring. The combat system is kind of a bummer, too.

My plan was to hit 30 on Conjurer, then 15 on Arcanist so I can go WHM, but man I'm having doubts.

The game is boring as gently caress until level 30, then it starts to pick up and gets really good at 50. I'd stick with it at least to 30 or so. Maybe do the main scenario up through Titan (level 34), which is a really fun fight.

The game is designed for Japanese people who have never played an MMO. You're still in the babby's first dungeon section.

If you aren't, switch into cleric stance and DPS in dungeons when you'd otherwise be standing around waiting for people to take damage. That should make healing feel less boring.

But yeah tam tara/sastasha/copperbell are super boring dungeons. The game gets steadily harder and more engaging as you level up.

This is only true if you never go into cleric stance as a WHM. I've definitely 2 manned that fight as a healer because both dps flew off the edges.
