Is monk or dragoon better dps? I'm trying to decide between those two.

It's myth chest vs zenith all over again, get your weapon first if you want to help out your entire party. Get your chest first if you don't give a poo poo and want it first, just don't post about it being the right choice.

Boiled strictly down to one DPS number, dragoon trumps monks by a slight margin, but that really doesn't matter too much in the grand scheme of things. Monks depend a lot more on positionals whereas playing dragoon is basically a buff maintaining minigame.

If you have a bard or a machinist in the party, dragoon is miles ahead. If you don't, they're about equal--monk pulls ahead slightly on a training dummy, but dragoon has the slight advantage in many real fights.

They are both fairly equal in a full up time fight but Dragoon generally edges out Monk in post 3.0 due to them not suffering as much from downtime as Monk does (even with the 3.0) changes, Dragoon also has much better raid utility right now which has led to every group running one and the second melee spot seems to alternate between Ninja/Monk (Ninja preferred more often due to utility).

Because of how action queues work.

Is it still that idiot stack system where you need to apply your mitigation buff after you know you'll get hit by the spell but before the cast bar fills up but now the cast bar is invisible?

Because I hate that poo poo even as a Black Mage.

The correct way to do it is to learn the boss rotation.

An issue wherein casting the black mage action “Fire III” immediately after receiving the “Firestarter” effect would result in an uninterruptable cast instead of an instant cast.

I would have assumed this would mean they've fixed the pretty much identical problem for Bards with Straight Shot but it doesn't say anything about that. Yoshi pls

When choosing between a weapon and an armor upgrade does the armor upgrade make you look sexier? If so choose that.

I somehow feel like we've had this "armor vs weapon" conversation before.


They're doing another 14-hour Anniversary stream. I wonder what the challenges are going to consist of since there's no atma grind yet.

You know I thought when they doubled the drops in Alexander I'd no longer having any problems with the system but after 8 runs of A3 today between 3 parties and nothing to show for it I think I'm about to burn down the server.

I had great luck last week (my first week of clearing) got a belt, accessory and then 1/2 for the head and hand pieces. Only had to run A2 3 times for my accessory piece. I imagine this week will be more annoying since I'll be aiming for more specific drops rather than whatever the hell.

Except for CUL, because gently caress CUL. I do like how the level 56 recipe awards more blue scripts than the 30 or 59.
