Also if you're a marauder then you're in a dungeon where nothing hits hard enough for it to matter so it's not a big deal if your DPS rips aggro.

Can you still do Beast Tribe dailies after the reputation is maxed? Cause I totally plan to use the Ixali quests for crafting at least to 50 for all.

You can actually do everything but hand in the quest as a better levelled class, then have the class you're levelling hand in the quest for easy XP. Don't forget to do your GC turnins, I think people forget how massive the XP they give is, especially for starred or HQ (or hq starred  ) crafts.

You can get everything to 30 in a surprisingly short amount of time, which saves a ton of leve allowances. If you're trying to power-level everything to 50 (which I am doing now) leve allowances are going to be your big bottleneck.

I did Aurum Vale last night for the Immortal Flames quest and when I zoned in like everyone groaned about it. I never did it before so I expected the worse but it was actually not bad. The mob density was ok and the bosses we're super easy tank and spank fights so I didn't have to worry about running around casting flash everywhere. Why's everyone hate it? Also I've asked in FC chat before but never really get an answer. How fast are the new HW dungeons? Because these others ive done up to 49 are so excruciatingly long and boring that I can't bring myself to do the daily dungeon roulette cause I'd rather just wash dishes or vacuum my floors.

I levelled all 8 crafts from 50-60 in about a month doing only the gc turn ins every day. GC turn ins are great. Edit: ^^^^^^^ people hate aurum vale because pubbies are real bad basically. Your standard pub tank won't know how to pull the opening room without getting a bunch of adds and killing everyone. They will not eat fruit at appropriate times on the first and 3rd boss, if they even eat it at all. Everyone gets wrecked by coincounter because he doesn't have any ground AE indicators. It's ugly. The HW dungeons are not faster. Same time pretty much. They can go faster if you do big pulls, but usually when I ask if people want to do big pulls they say no.

Aurum Vale is decent if you have a group of people there that know the mechanics. It's a great way to get experience, especially if you have a white mage that can holyspam the seedlings after they hatch. Ever since they nerfed nthan FATEs (they don't spawn anywhere near where they used to), it's a decent alternative. Sadly, if you get it in duty roulette, people rarely know what to do.

Some of the hate for AV comes from it being the last dungeon before the lv50 jump in power and getting your final abilities in ARR. Plus it was slower in ARR because the gear sync would sync to NQ gear, not HQ gear. This was changed in HW so AV runs are a bit easier and faster just due to better gear when you're lv50+.

Seriously though this is the first MMO I've had actual fun healing in. Every other MMO I've tried healing in, the mechanics just pissed me off. Something about WHM just doesn't suck. Maybe it's because Regen is awesome and there's ways to save a failing pull that aren't "pop an emergency heal and hope you don't get interrupted too much while spamming your main heal". And pub groups usually commencing the healer at least once per run makes it feel worth running with pubs.

Yeah, sure, I have a bunch of these heal spells, and they're so good they top people up in a single cast, but dead enemies don't do damage in the first place *spams holy until OOM*.

Aurum Vale also used to be a victim of odd gear scaling. The way level sync used to work is your gear would get stated as if it was NQ at the level of the sync. In all of the lower dungeons besides AV this wasn't much of an issue because there wasn't actually any gear at the ilevel of the sync, so it was mostly un-noticed. However there is level 49 gear and it's stats blow the former synced NQ stuff out of the water. No one had this gear, and most people didn't keep their AF1 around to equip anytime they went into AV, so it was a bit of a pain. If you did go in with full HQ level 49 gear, it was a breeze. When I was working on my dungeon atma for my relic, it was still synced the old way. I had 130 gear for my warrior. When I tossed on the HQ 190 gear, I gained almost 2000 life. It was a huge difference. Nowadays, level sync defaults to HQ versions at the level you're locked at, so any gear comes in like the HQ i49 so it simplifies the dungeon quite a bit.

A Spider Covets posted:so question about chocobo breeding since I've been working on that Get Choco Cure from the Healer tree then go DPS. Choco Cure can heal you for a decent amount so you can keep on killing mobs. Chocobos can't tank worth spit so the Tank tree isn't very good, Choco Regen is garbage, and Choco Medica is rarely relevant so just train your bird to heal you and be a vicious murderer of mobs.

I found after maxing DPS I started pulling from the tank tree just for more str and health before I got super deep into healer, but yeah. Warky is a bad tank, but good dps and a helpful healer.

A Spider Covets posted:i did but i appreciate the advice either way, thanks scrublord prime! if anyone knows the answer to the breeding question that'd be great too though Actually you don't want to get the highest level covering. The baby will only ever be 1 pedigree higher than the lowest parent, so if both parents are P1, you'll get a P2 bird. If one parent is P1 and you buy a P9 covering, baby is still going to be a P2 so save your MGP. There's lots of RNG wrt which parent the child will inherit its stats so when I buy a covering I just keep buying until I get one with lots of 4 stars. When you want to start getting the perfect bird, you'll just keep breeding the same bird (with good stats) until you get two baby bos with lots of 4 stars in its lineage and then keep inbreeding those two and then their children and then their children's children

I have a question I can't find any real info about anywhere: HQ gear, from what I can see, gets about 25% extra defense compared to NQ, and something like 11-12% extra weapon damage. The other stats don't go up by any set amount, but I read that an HQ piece has "capped" stats, meaning you couldn't boost them any more with materia and would have to use a different stat materia on it. What difference does the equipment colour make? As far as I can tell, the various pink/green/blue colours all just seem to be statted as if they were HQ gear of the same ilvl: e.g. Yeti Staff vs High Allagan Staff The HQ yeti staff has equal magic damage, equal int, equal vit, more crit, and 23 det instead of 46 spell speed. It also has 2 materia slots. Is the det vs spell speed difference big enough to justify it being "blue", or is it more like current WOW where item rarity is nothing more than an indicator of how "hard" it is to get the item. Aetherial gear for example is literally HQ gear with 3 extra stats. Same ilvl, same required level to equip.

White items are crafted and, HQ items have the equivalent stats of a Green item of the same item level. Green items are from 4-man dungeons, and certain "Master" crafting recipes. Blue items are from tomestones and 8-man content. Pink (Aetherial) gear is currently from some solo content and lower level 4-man dungeons. It has randomized substats, so different pieces might be way better or worse depending what they have. Niton fucked around with this message at 02:41 on Oct 2, 2015 |
