I was joining lv60 expert Roulete as monk - ilvl186! After the 1st group of mobs those people where suddenly picking on me for not using that weak skill "Fists of (F)lame"! >_> I clearly said I never ever use that weak skill, that only give 5%"dmg boost", thats like my lv200 weapon has 1 atk point more -> barely a difference! I use there other 2 auras for defence or faster movement! again: Im ilvl186 in a ilvl145 dungeon! Not enough for those Pr0s in n00b skin I guess! >_> They stopped on going the dungeon and keep picking on me and trolling! Then they booted me out wtf >_> For just weak 5%.. as Monk isnt already OP enough... Im really upset and angry about this!!! Thats so f*beeeep*g rude! Why such people even play this game? We dont have a time ranking! I dont even use that weak 5% "buff" Mechanics have and mostly get 3 commendations at the end of a dungeon! Really TO bad we cant post names here! But I reported them all and hope they get a punishment!

Leaning towards the former.

The thordan weapons will be a 205 stopgap. Agreed - I'm not even sure how this is in debate. Weapon upgrade materials are absent while other leftside/rightside upgrade materials have new ways of acquiring them. If they were going to make i210 weapons available through the trial, they would have made the upgrade materials for eso weapons likewise available.

I don't think it'll make things worse, but it's going to make more issues obvious that show that Paladins still need more work.

There are a lot of people like me that have basically been capped on law for forever. I'll never use the mats myself and will just buy the most expensive/fastest moving and sell them each time I get 1800 tomes. There are a lot of people that are going to do the exact same thing. The high cost means that the price won't crater completely, but prices on mats are going to drop significantly and open up a lot of the crafting endgame to more people.

Re: Pally-chat, I'm most upset that nothing was done with Clemency and Divine Veil. The former is a waste of a class skill, and I only bother with DV because it doesn't take up GCD.

I've been running into something of a conundrum in regards to targeting as a healer. If I use macros, they mess with queuing, and even though it's probably not as big a deal for a healer, I'd prefer to avoid that. Does it just come down to having a bunch of keybinds for targeting if you want to operate at peak efficiency as a healer? I was thinking of maybe getting a slightly more complicated mouse, have one button switch to my focus target and another switch to the first person in the party. Then ideally I could link a scroll button to the keybind for scrolling through targeting for party members. Am I worrying too much over nothing important?

Eventually you make a habit of having your mouse hovering near that area of the screen. Good healing is not about reaction time, it's knowing when the damage is coming, and being prepared. FWIW, I believe the Alex Savage world-first group has a name-clicker as healer. Do what you feel is best, of course, but I wouldn't stress about it. If you wanna be a better healer than you just have to read up on the fundamentals of your class, and heal harder content until you get used to it.

It's not like SE hasn't released stepping stone weapons that are more or less obsoleted instantly before (cough Bismarck cough). At least these will be relevant for a few weeks.

I have Cure, Regen, and Esuna with a mouseover macro so I can patch heal and throw regen/esuna without de-targeting the tank. Granted, I don't run savage, but it has worked for everything else. Click targeters represent. Stones and Aeros are on target of target macros. Yeah, its not optimal. Boogalo fucked around with this message at 00:43 on Nov 7, 2015 |

To clarify, my concern isn't targeting my allies for healing in a general sense, but rather rapidly swapping between targeting allies and enemies when stance dancing with cleric stance. Ideally I could cast attack spells against my focus target while having an ally targeted WITHOUT using a macro, but sadly they have yet to add that particular QoL improvement.

I play on a controller, but I have a pair of macros that change hotbars around when I go into/out of Cleric Stance, and I added a 'target focus target' bit to going into CS, and a 'target the target of my focus target' bit for going out of CS. It's not the most elegant solution, but it works fine for me.

Yoshi-p posted:We hear the player feedback about wanting to raise the DPS of Paladin, but we need to consider the offensive and defensive characteristics together, so it would be difficult to just raise the DPS with their current defensive ability. This is possibly the dumbest thing Yoshi-p has ever said. Hey dummy, if 1/40th of all the tanks that have cleared A4S are PLD you obviously should not consider their defensive characteristics and just give them a dps buff so maybe we can get to 1/3 sometime this expansion. Also this patch is tons of lovely stuff that people will play for a few weeks then lapse your sub again. Cool.

We're seeing a similar die off compared to ARR launch where many many players quit before 2.1 came out and the game stabilized and then started to recover. The difference this time is that the players who are quitting are people we've known since ARR and it hurts a lot more and could have been of avoided.

I guess it's hard to tell exactly how much that change to Shield Swipe will help overall, but I feel like that is not nearly what the PLD needs, especially for A4S where it barely does anything. Might be time to start seriously considering that Warrior I guess.

Ideally I could cast attack spells against my focus target while having an ally targeted WITHOUT using a macro, but sadly they have yet to add that particular QoL improvement. At this point I'm just used to tab-targetting my way through the enemy list. It's something you eventually just get used to, such that you know "oh, gotta hit tab twice to get back to the boss." GCD times in this game are long enough that you typically have enough time to dick around in between actions, especially as a healer since you are not constantly mashing OGCD abilities for maximum dps or whatever. Planning and comfortability with your class will go a long way; make sure your hot-bars are laid out sanely, if you haven't already. You shouldn't need to click on or stretch for any of your important skills; maybe rezzing since it's hard to justify giving a button to something used to rarely. Having your mouse free to click on allies and enemies gives you one less thing to pay attention to on the screen. Finally, just start healing a bunch if you wanna get better at it. Unfortunately we aren't really able to stand in front of a dummy for hours to drill rotations into our brain like a dps, so all you can do to git good is get good old fashioned experience. One thing I would suggest is to start healing harder content, if you are not already, sooner rather than later. You can fall into some bad habits just doing dungeons and hard primals, since the margin for error is so wide you're never really pushed. I made the most improvement when I joined the (now dead, unfortunately) Cid's Angel's linkshell and did turn 9 like every night for a week and a half. Learned more about how to heal doing that than I did in 4 months of dicking around doing normal content.

Captain Oblivious posted:I come back from hiatus and Belzac is making sincere good posts. It's pretty loving dire. Your choices in endgame are either Alex Savage, an easier version of the Alex which drops pointless gear, two 4mans you've done a million times, or some EX primals that practically no one does anymore. I could write loads about Alex Savage, but maybe just cliff notes for now. Frankly a lot of it's been said already. People I know to be good players and raiders since Coil 1 have been broken on the wheel of A3S, and they're not raiding or not playing or just plain not enjoying themselves. The aesthetic is dull. A4S is a horribly designed fight. Raid play in general is driving an obsession with DPS from everyone, because that's what's required now. The fact that everything other then Alex Savage is really super easy or spammed into tedium means there's nothing in the game to distract from the problems AS has. Basically we're all really hoping that the 3.1 content breathes new life into things.

I may be in the minority but at this point in the game there's really not a valid reason for a raid team to be complaining about difficulty. The game is not rocket surgery; everything you need to know to beat a fight is laid out in numerous videos and guides. If players, nay raiders, aren't willing to put in the modicum of effort to improve then why bother raiding at all. That being said, SE did make some horrendous oversights (the sac strat for A4S).

As a no life monster you have no valid opinion on the difficulty of raids and can't speak for the 99.9% of the people who aren't world first. You would have had the exact same amount of fun if the raid was easy enough for even the top 10% to beat by now and those extra 9% of people would not have burned out and quit the game. It's called a difficulty curve, not a cliff and the only end game option for combat (you know, the major feature of the game) should not be the property of the top 1% to lord over the rest. Savage should have remained an off patch objective for idiots like us to peruse for bragging rights and cosmetic poo poo and not the progression route for the common player than didn't kill T13 till 2.58. Basically shut the gently caress up Chyea.

This game is still fun and good and I look forward to both the new content as well as additional reasons to go back and do the old fun content some more as well. People always got a bit mopey in the span leading up to a new patch, this cycle just ran longer than we were used to since they took a break after the expansion crunch.
