Mordiceius posted:Cuchulainn is an annoying boss if only because he'll usually vomit within the first 5 seconds of the fight. I generally expect that for the first 15-20 seconds of a fight, most people are idiots and it takes them 10 seconds alone to realize the fight has started then another 10 seconds to consider that they might want to move to a position other than where people were clumped to start. Since Cuchulainn vomits almost immediately, it is almost always targeted toward that massive clumped group and 3-5 people will drop dead. It has a maximum range. If you pull the boss and keep running straight forward the first spew won't reach the people standing by the purple line. He'll reset position a bit after that for the 4-tentacle slam and at that point if people still aren't watching they can eat poo poo, but it'll save the initial deaths from people not watching.

PyPy posted:Shameless plug, but I think I have a good idea. I'd like a skywatcher as an outdoor fixture for player estates, obtainable as a fishing achievement reward. I posted it on the official forums. If you like it, please log in with your character and up-vote it so maybe it can be seen by devs and not die. This is a great idea, I'd compromise for skywatchers at just the major bell, board and aetheryte shard spots in the residential areas too.

Runefaust posted:Alright! I've put in maybe 10 hours worth of gameplay total since I picked this up for PS4, and I thought I'd have a lot rougher of a time with using a controller. I was telling myself "I could never play FFXIV on a controller" after playing it on PC. That reminds me, I need to see what the current state of DS4 drivers is on PC. Last time I tried (admittedly a long time ago) it felt like I was getting input delays I don't have with the wired 360 controller. Was using USB so it wasn't a Bluetooth issue. Would love to be able to stop having the odd 360 dpad misfire.

Quick question, sorry if it was addressed within the last few pages but does buying Heavensward come with a month of subscription time? I'm getting back into FF14 once I'm done with law finals and some friends who only played ARR were considering hopping back in as well.

But you can get it for $20 of Amazon, unless you bought it through steam in which case you have to buy heavensward through steam. Well, looks like its back up to $30 on amazon, but if you shop around or wait for a deal it goes down sometimes, and 30 is still better than the full 40 on steam and elsewhere. WoW did the same thing, used to give you free months with each expansion but they stopped.

This image actually brings up a point I want to ask about - is there any way to decrease the size of my action bars without decreasing the entire UI, so that the little text boxes that pop up for quests aren't super tiny? I'd love to have my buttons at roughly half the size they are now, but that also appears to require making everything else just as small. I just feel like screen real estate is at a premium with this game. I play on PC.

You can select the specific bar in the UI config and hit ctrl-home to increase/decrease their size. vvv It is in fact ctrl+home. Niton fucked around with this message at 20:42 on Dec 5, 2015 |

seiferguy posted:This video is upsetting a lot of people on the OF It's kind of funny that this is the one bothering them, because it's unironically easier & less (skill) impressive than a normal solo heal video - all of th the "DPS" are a ton more survivable, and a group of Warriors absolutely does enough damage to beat the soft enrage. The only reason they even got close to the second Sacred Cross is because one of the warriors hosed up and ate a Gaze in the first phase. Warrior's broken as poo poo and it's hilarious,  warriors eventually but i'll be riding the train until then.

It's weird because I don't see a lot of people playing warrior, yet it's pretty clear that it's the best tank class. Of course the solution to PLD's issues would just be to nerf WAR instead.

The solution is for SE to admit they were wrong and buff pld. Like they have been wrong about many things in the past. I skimmed that thread until I got a headache but they seemed to be arguing that it wasn't possible to do the same with Paladin. I'm pretty sure the only hard thing about doing this with paladins is finding 7 competent paladins who haven't changed to dark knight.

It's only made better because it's also where you fight Cancer, which gives you the crab mini-pet that also takes a potshot at old school XI grinding. I love that the FATE is named "Our Favorite Pastime."

They're more attracted to the aesthetics of being a typical knight in shining armor, or maximum edgelord. That being said, paladin is pretty good for main tanking Thordan EX. A lot of the class's problems stem from Savage Alex encounter design.

Looking over FF logs its hard to find one that doesn't have nin or war but they are also really uncompetitive, most tanks that care about their DPS simply stopped playing PLD and the few who still do and usually dominate the alex savage parses aren't submitting thordan parses. It goes back to what I said before about finding 7 paladins who would or could actually do this. If they all pulled above 750 DPS it is within a clear parse, and I can see that happening. Shouldn't diminish how poo poo paladin is, 750 is really not a high benchmark for tanks right now.

On paper I'd think that DRK could keep up but WAR always seems a mile ahead. When I say damage I mean like damage stance MAXIMUM DPS damage, not damage while tanking.

Oh, I don't doubt they could beat the hard enrage, but I don't think you could beat the soft enrage (like WARs did, without issue). I even play Paladin for Thordan - it feels really good, but mostly just makes me me hate Paladin for other things even more.

WAR OT, obviously, is king. I do want to stress that this is in fights with drawn out phases and not Thordan where things line up to match Warrior's bursty damage drat near perfectly. I'm not sure having a DRK MT, 6 WARs, and a Healer in there would be any better. Skaw fucked around with this message at 04:38 on Dec 6, 2015 |

I've just started playing this and I'm levelling MRD to 50 first. I've already gotten GLD to 15 so I can be a Warrior, but are there any other cross-class powers I'm going to particularly want as a level 50 WAR when I eventually get there?

The most important one is Provoke at level 22 GLD. You'll need that for higher level content. Pugilist's Internal Release (level 12) is good for Warrior, and GLD's Awareness at level 34 meshes well with a skill you get in the mid-50s as Warrior.

You're going to need to continue GLD a little while longer so you can learn provoke, for one. I forget what level though. 21 or something.

The question was generally "what cross-class skills do I want endgame as a WAR," but 50 isn't actually endgame any more.  I'll get to MRD30 then go grind out 7 more levels of GLD for Provoke, and do PGL12 for Internal Release. I'm glad none of the must-haves are high level unlocks, the Armoury system is really cool, and I'm having a ton of fun as Marauder, since I like tanking but I also like not having a miserable time solo levelling.

Lemon Curdistan posted:That's the plan, yeah. Hell, tanks are among the easiest for solo leveling anyway. Melee DPS don't get to hit their positionals unless they stun the mob or it decides to do a ground AoE, and anything with a castbar is subject to interruption annoyances when their target is hitting them in the face. Meanwhile, tanks not only don't have to worry about either of those things, but they can (by definition) take hits like a champ. As for cross-class, gladiator 22 and pugilist 12 will cover almost everything you care about as a warrior, though you will eventually want to push gladiator/paladin to 34 for Awareness. Some time between 50 and 56 on warrior is probably a good time to make that push; late enough that warrior's slowed down a bit, but before getting the warrior ability at 56 (called Raw Intuition) which synergizes nicely with Awareness. And technically you could push pugilist/monk to 42 for Mantra, but it's very anemic cross-classed and I can't remember the last time I actually wanted to cross-class it on warrior (or anything else that can cross-class it, for that matter). It's basically Provoke, Internal Release, and then pick your favorite/situational three from Flash, Convalescence, Awareness, and Second Wind. With an honorary nod to Featherfoot, which never saves you despite anguished cries of "FEATHERFOOT SAVE ME!"
