Utility or fruitlessness can neither add to nor subtract anything from this worth. There is, however, something so strange in this idea of the absolute worth of the mere will, without making any allowance for utility in its estimation, that despite all the agreement with it even of common reason, there must nevertheless arise a suspicion that perhaps it is covertly grounded merely on a high-flown fantasy, and that nature might have been falsely understood in the aim it had in assigning reason to govern our will.

Zack Ater posted:I kant quite follow all this deep philosophical stuff. What has been said in general be called skill. Whether the end is rational and good is not the question here, but only what one has to do in order to achieve them. Because in early youth one does not know what ends he will run up against in life, parents seek chiefly to have their children learn many things, and they concern themselves about skill in the use of means toward all kinds of discretionary ends, about none of which they can determine whether it will perhaps actually become an aim of his pupil in the future, but about any of which, however, it is possible that he might someday have it, and this concern is so great that they commonly neglect to educate and correct their judgment over the worth of the things that they may perhaps make their ends. There is one end, however, that one can presuppose as actual for all rational beings (insofar as imperatives apply to them, namely as dependent beings) and thus one aim that they not merely can have, but of which one can safely presuppose that without exception they do have it in accordance with a natural necessity, and that is the aim at happiness.

So I just came back to the game this last week after a 6 month break, while being bit late to the party with the expansion I'm enjoying it quite a bit so far, even if all the HW zones seems extremely dead(vanilla zones seem way more lively). Decided leveling as DPS first to 60 since I figured main story plus first time dungeon runs would be more then enough exp to get to 60 cap(wow was I wrong). At least dungeon ques have been fast, but having to resort to 1-49 dungeon roulette just to see the new content feels a bit meh. Seems to me they made HW a boatload more grindy then 2.0 was(after 2.1 patch at least) and I feel I'm scraping for any exp, with rested bonus 24/7. Did they totally forgot about stuff like Hunting log, and why does exp from FATEs seem to be so very low now? Its like literally 100 FATEs for one level. Just hit level 57 today so at least the end is in sight(I hope!), and now I'm trying to figure out what would be the best way to gear up decently at lv60. Preferebly without any heavy raiding since I'm stuck playing somewhat casually with this next months schedule, which I understand will probably leave me outside the grasp of any best in slot stuff, but I'm fine with that. Upcoming patch looks great and I'd love to get into the new 24man kinda early, as well as any other new content that requires decent geared chars.

As MCH should I just be resigned to not having Reload for every other Wildfire cycle, or should I be holding on to it for those 30 seconds that they're out of sync? Or should I be doing something else to ameliorate the situation?

50-60 is supposed to take about as long as 1-50 did. It just feels grindier because you're gaining less levels.

The other issue chyea is that having only 4 bosses exacerbates the issue. Wow makes just as hard fights as savage 3 and 4 excpet they are at the end of the instance. Not 2 bosses in. So it's more demoralizing and the difficulty curve is worse when you go from a2 to a3 and 4. I think if we had another boss or two and the difficulty was scaled up better then you'd see less people quitting.

Raging strikes for me tends to line up every 2 Wildfire's, with Hawk's Eye being up for every one. I save Rapid Fire and Reload for it, since at high levels you've got lots of oGCD attacks to fill gaps and it's fairly simple to run in and out for Blank shots in most content.

Generally it's not a good idea to delay one cooldown to line up with another, unless the gap is small enough like with Blood for Blood, or if you're saving them for a burn phase.

Choyi posted:3.0 leveling My leveling experience was this: - Do all main story quests (duh) - Do all sidequests, admittedly blowing many of them off until after I finished the zone and could fly - In the process of the above, run each new dungeon and trial once each - Do all daily clan mark hunts that were available to me at the time (you unlock batch 1 at 53, batch 2 at 56, and batch 3 at 59) - Run leveling and trial roulette once a day I hit 60 with pretty much all the Azys Lla sidequests to spare, in I think 3 days of obsessive poopsocking (the emphasis here is that I didn't need like 2 weeks of daily roulette bonus to pad it out). If I hadn't done any roulettes, or if I'd been slacking on clan mark hunts, then yeah, I might've been a bit behind and would've needed to supplement that with some fates or dungeons or something. One thing heavily worth the reminder though, is our good friend the armory bonus. This applies to kill experience (dungeons, fates), and fate experience, but not to quest experience. The first thing you level will be your highest level job and therefore won't benefit, which makes sidequests (even, yes, the godforsaken neverending moogle sidequests) a relatively attractive source of experience and dungeon/fate grinding a relatively unattractive source of experience, compared to anything you level afterward.

It's relatively common advice to save your sidequests for another job. That's the least efficient way to do things however since the armory bonus is a thing that exists.

Yeah, sidequest saving really mostly applies to "oh, you hit level 15 and got to visit the other two cities and noticed a bunch of lovely low level sidequests in town and in their lowbie areas? Yeah, just ignore those until the next time you level a new job". Everything else, you might as well do on the first job you level. Or if you're not a fan of sidequests, don't do them at all. (Just don't come whining in that latter case if you miss an unlock, don't know the joy of oiling Godbert, or can't find new important sidequests that unlock new content in the sea of leveling sidequests on your map that you'd been ignoring.)

I'mma stop you right here and say gently caress you. We have video footage and gif images of party members dancing through each other trying to swap digibetus and not end up swapping the debuff. There's some attempts that are just bullshit.

On one run last night, the tank and I both ran to the right waypoint and parked for a second to transfer the debuff, we both saw the floating text saying the debuff had transferred... but the debuff itself didn't actually move off of the tank. It was weird as poo poo. On the bright side, other than weird stuff like that and the occasional bad RNG, we're pretty solid up to Hand of Pain now.

We've even have had wandering digititus where it just passes to someone you aren't even close to.
