I wouldn't be surprised if there are future school shooters posting there.

Uh yeah I kinda have realized I'm dumb. and antisocial, but where the hell was this quoted from? Cause that's just amazing, and awful.

They spend hours arguing about the optimal rotation to shoot the most students but never actually go through with it.

Sooo...Tenzarin is legitimately a good reason as to why I've backed away from group content in this game in general, right?

The current problem with Astrologians is the luck based party buffs and lack of healing potency compared to other healers. One step forward may lead to overpowering Astrologians so it's taking time to finalise the decision for balancing issues. Since Astrologians can switch stances before combat, there's a possibility people will start using two Astrologians in the same stance instead of other healers so they need to be careful. They are almost complete with collecting the data so after watching over savage for a week or two they will start considering solutions which won't crush the current balance.

The reason why they are being so cautious is because there was a chance where the top players aiming for world first might find tweaks the Devs didn't notice and use Astrologians better than expected. So if they buffed Astrologians in that state it would have made Astrologians far more over powered.

The devs are aware that the lv60 DPS are dealing a huge amount of damage and some tank are having trouble keeping hate.

After looking at the A3 savage clear party set ups they consider there are no situations where people can't beat it because of a certain job is in the party. However they also noticed that there are bumps in which jobs are being used over others, so they will be aiming towards balancing out the jobs used in savage by continuing to watch which jobs are being used the most/least.

The first A3 savage clear was a few days earlier than they expected. Yoshida said that he thinks they were able to clear it first because they weren't afraid of trying new things out (like Dark knight) . When it comes to claiming world first he thinks flexibility is really important and just like team sports, having one great player doesn't allow you to be the best.

During the next live letter included in the 2nd anniversary 14 hour live broad cast(August 20th?) they will have a patch 3.1 introduction part 1. Part 2 will be revealed at Toky game show 2015. The next F.A.T.E event will be in kagoshima(sout west of japan) The date for patch 3.1 will be announced in one of the 3 evenst above.

Sometime in late 2010/early 2011, probably.

Did 2.0 have as much maintenance and emergency maintenance as we've had for Heavensward?

Can't wait for Yoshi P to just slap 20 more potency on Halone and call the threat issue solved.

I usually run all of my regular alex and daily roulettes on my paladin and I never have trouble holding threat regardless of DPS configuration. I've got full 180 left side, a claw sword, and 190 rightside str accessories. Sadly I'm also usually top dps as well. I personally haven't seen any lagging behind of PLD dps compared to other tanks, but then again I'm rarely running savage content as a tank and who knows the quality of the other tank in pubbie alex.

A competent Dragoon or BLM will rip hate off you if you are opening with Goring to maximize your Fight of Flight DPS unless you have Shadewalker.

Also in Sword Oath your rotation becomes Goring - 2x Halone combos. Meanwhile DRKs and WARs can go full ham.

I rarely ever rage and still hold hate. It isn't that hard. On bosses in sword oath I might toss in a rage every other goring blade, but I typically go goring blade -> RAx2 repeat without trouble.

Summoners are actually the only people that ever give me aggro trouble on big enough trash pulls. Any other job doesn't really cause any problems.

Just make Sheltron restore TP instead of MP? Like, idk, that seems like it'd help a bunch.

That doesn't address like, the actual problem with PLD at the moment wherein some of the content right now is a bit heavy on magic tankbusters and I dont know if you address that by designing the fights or balancing the class. As it stands a lot of the PLDs I know have adapted just fine, but it's still irritating.

Holyshoot posted:

If you're tanking how is tp an issue? Pop the shield block cool down and spam shield swipe for a few go refer tp back. I think it's ot plds that have tp issues and shield block restoring tp wouldn't help for that.

My biggest problem with PLD is that spamming a zero-damage ability for AOE threat gen really sucks.

Also can someone briefly explain to someone new why people seem so upset over crafting? Did they make it easier to level in the expansion so people that did more grinding in the past are mad at the new people that can get there faster? At least that's what I've gotten from trying to read up on it.
