There are also Doman Au Ra, like Yugiri and that princess and her bodyguard from the ninja quests. It seems like most of the races are spread all over the world. The only ones we haven't seen are foreign Elezen, which makes sense since they're apparently the original inhabitants of Eorzea.

Louisoix and Urianger are both from Sharlayan, the actual Sharlayan not the abandoned colony, so that right there tells us there are Elezen outside of Eorzea.

Edit: Furthermore the very existence of a Sharlayan noble house of Elezen, Leveilleiur, suggests Elezen have been part of Sharlayan for quite some time.

Well, apparently the SE store wasn't letting me buy the digital version of the expansion for whatever reason, so I got a local, physical copy instead.

Tried to use the expansion code but apparently my account is set in the States and is incompatible.

Maybe not bad, but takes way too many words to say poo poo. Let me break down what they're saying:

* You only need as much HP to absorb a tankbuster through cooldowns. Anything else is filler you could be putting towards DPS stats.
* If there's a window to stance-dance and throw in DPS safely, do it.
* Parry sucks.
* Crit good.
* Provoke and Internal Release a must-get.
* Flash and Convalescense are good skills.
* If your healers can't keep you up get rid of them because I'm great wank wank
* I use awareness because wank wank
* I used Second Wind because I'm bad wank wank
* I overuse the word "meta" wank
* wank wank wank look at me wank
* wank wank
* wank

Got sick of DPS queueing for leveling SMN so I decided to queue as SCH. I was only Curing for like 1000, and even Lustrate didn't seem to be the turboheal that I'd expected it to be. I'm i116 with that i115 Ishgardian vendor weapon; what the hell am I doing wrong?

Lustrate is now 600 potency (Physick is 400) rather than 25% of the target's max hp. With full 130/135 gear my WHM is getting about 1480-1560 on Cure 1, so with crappy NQ vendor whites your heals sound about right.

Are you still wearing a bunch of INT jewelry instead of MND or something maybe?

Also why are you using Cure. You have Physick and Adlo.

Any real advantage in buying this game on Steam?

I love having singleplayer games on steam as it means they get auto updated and it reduce the amount of shortcuts on my desktop, but for MMOs they will update every time you start them regardless.
The game is slightly cheaper is buying the base game + expansion together, which is only available on the Square Enix home page, which is why i am asking.

You can pay your subscription with that Steam currency. Not sure if that outweighs always being locked in to Steam versions for expansions though.

I like having steam functionality, which I guess you can have if you just run the game with an overlay but honestly I care less about the $15 potential dollars I might save on the GMG presale of the next expansion compared to the ease of having it alongside the billion other idiot games I've bought and never played.

Time is never wasted when you're wasted all the time.
So, I think I'm getting it wrong somehow. In the reward section of the duty roullete description its says it gives 1218 gc seals for completion, but I tried it twice already and received no seals. What is the problem? is this seal reward something you just get once a day like the extra bonus reward?

That's the bonus for providing the role needed at the time.

I just don't know how much of that I would employ in DF/PF groups. Using a defensive cooldown to stay offensive makes sense, but it might not make sense to the random healers you're playing with.

Sometimes just doing DF Alexander runs I'll find myself using a cooldown due to auto-attacks.

Does healing get any more interesting? I've got my WHM to 45, but 30-odd levels of 'cast Cure/Regen, maybe throw out an Aero or Stone' hasn't exactly hit a high point yet for me. Also doesn't help that caster gear is kind of boring, though I'm told that it gets better post-50.

Healing is the most boring role at low levels, I think. Because at that point people aren't taking a lot of damage and you don't really have particularly interesting DPS options (cast Aero on a thing, now use Stone over and over). In endgame content healing can be pretty hectic though, particularly in instances where there's a ton of raid damage and the tank is getting hit by tankbusters and you're avoiding aoe clusterfucks while dealing with all this at once.

Yeah I meant Physick. I'm using Physick when the shield's up and Adlo when it's down, it's just that I barely have time to DPS if there's more than two or three enemies on the tank at once.

I'd recommend playing the other healers if you want to do more things beyond just healing. White Mage is really good at what it does, but it is pretty basic.

On the whole steam issue: FWIW, steam version has been the cheapest option for me for both the base game (10 euros), and the expansion (35 euros) where I live. But, the price differences are also stupid:

Well, Mor Dhona ran 'great' on PS3 because it culled 99% of the PCs there. Though, it tended to exhibit some strange loading issues that I didn't see in other zones (note this is an ancient 40GB EU PS3, the second revision that dumped the front ports/Graphics Synthesizer).




e: I want a gouraud shading option
