Pretty sure BLMs don't care about Ewer any more since it's just a refresh, not an mp cost reduction. All it does is make their ice phase shorter, and does nothing at all in fire phase. Same situation with a DRK.

So give it to your cohealer or a SMN. Not that SMN have MP issues outside of A2 (you get a dot, and you get a dot!)

Klades posted:If you've been skipping cutscenes since the 2.X story and haven't tried watching any of the 3.0 ones you should maybe give them a chance since everything about the plot, writing, and cutscenes are better in 3.0 than any part of 2.X was. Yeah it's more along the lines of me being impatient than not being interested in the story. I'm sure the story is wonderful..I just wanna sit here and play not sit here and watch. Not to mention the one thing I dislike about this game over other MMOs is a lot of content being gated behind the main story quests. Why can't I just pay a bunch of money to unlock flying like in WoW? Oh, because it's a Final Fantasy game.

Thanks for the advice all, that should keep me going. The Nocturnal aspected benefic is the main thing I don't get now, but I won't actually have that for a while yet anyway. I just try to keep the shield on the tank as much as possible and use regular heals until it wears off?

Just treat it like adloquium and stoneskin - it gives you more buffer time to not be paying attention to the tank so you can do something else. DPS, heal other party members, dodge mechanics, etc. For high-level stuff you use it for tank busters. For the amount of HP it restores and shields, it's not very efficient though.

Everything about that post is correct; the style of the post is a bit aggravating, but he's 100% right that vitality is a selfish stat. I have difficulties holding threat as a PLD as it is sometimes. I couldn't imagine how bad it'd be if I was using right side vitality gear as opposed to strength gear. If the developers are concerned about all the tanks using strength over vitality gear, maybe they should have that gear have an enmity increase to it as well, or have it like it's done in other FF games where vitality increases your defense / resistance to status effects.

Now that I have a Scholar at lv 60, I'm thinking of the next job to play. Probably a melee DPS or tank. I got my thaumaturge to 26 to get swiftcast and it was the most boring thing ever as all I did was spam fire 1 until my fingers broke off. So goons, whats a fun melee class that has a lot of buttons I can push to give the illusion of difficulty?

Vitality isn't selfish, it's just bad. It's not a good stat, and at best it's generally treated as accuracy- i.e. something you don't really get anything out of besides hitting a certain important cap. It's stupid because tank gear is built entirely around it, but it's the opposite of what tanks are seeking to optimize. Don't get me wrong, I like conceptually being able to mix and match gear but it's also annoying that tanks are required to keep two sets of jewellery for no real reason.

For Scholar, at least, you can easily get to 13k+ mana and still bottom out by the end of an encounter. Adding more mana allows you to play differently, adding more Adlos, and with them more Broils. In 4-mans, you only really need enough piety to hit 11-11.5k, but in harder content it's easy to spend a ton of mana without really trying to. And then someone wants a res..

PIE is a secondary stat sofar as gear is concerned, and you never have to choose between MND and PIE on gear. If you're running out of mana healing, its much more likely that people are taking damage from stupid, or that you are overhealing (usually from lack of knowledge of the fight) So basically never choose PIE as a stat bonus but just get whatever you need from gear because its plentiful.

Oh, yeah, I didn't realize the start of the chain - only ever put points into your Primary Throughput Stat for stat bonuses! That said, Scholar can go through a poo poo ton of mana simply doing its job correctly, and it's really weird that Piety isn't weighted at all for DPS by a lot of theorycrafters given how expensive (and good!) Broil is.
