I like flash so that I have a button to press while waiting for pacification to wear off following berserk.

I just rarely am ever in a position that second wind will help because I'll usually have TotB or equilibrium ready to go if I need a quick instant heal and flash has more usefulness in most content. I could definitely dump flash if I was tanking savage, but any place with trash mobs flash is more useful.

Boten Anna posted:But if you really hate playing GLD awareness isn't really that important so don't worry about it too much. Get provoke done as soon as possible though. Awareness is probably the second best Warrior cross-class ability tbh, but it's only important if you're tanking something that hits hard in Deliverance. Awareness estabilishes a damage ceiling, which prevents you from randomly getting gibbed while pushing damage against things like Thordan or A3S, which follow up a tankbuster with an autoattack. If you only OT, and you're not doing hard content, you don't really need Awareness. But you'll be glad you have it every time you take that calculated risk.

I think Convalescence is the second best WAR cross class actually. It's half of Defiance by itself. Awareness is definitely up there though, especially since it's hard to position mobs in big pulls to parry them all with Raw Intuition (and A2S to some extent).

Awareness is very important to have if you can't control your character and then press Raw Intuition and blunder around and get crit by tank busters.

Also nice for times when you don't really want the bosses auto attack critting you ever when they do that ability + auto in the same second.

I'm surprised that 7 warrior Thordan surprises anyone who has cleared it. Being a warrior OT in that fight is fantastic because nothing can really kill you, so extending that your entire dps core who can sustain tp on a single target and do decent dps is an obvious victory. Then again on the OF who knows if the posters have even attempted it.

quote:What you did was really disgusting you had no right to compromise the artistic direction and ideals the games creators put forth in their works and this is probably the most disgusting display of censorship I have ever seen. Your job was to translate the game not insert your own ideals/agenda into the game's story. What I want you to understand is that this is not ok, what you did was wrong. You perverted someone else's creative works with your own agenda and that's just terrible. If this is the way things are done in the localization team. Im going to think long and hard about renewing my sub in the future and others should think on it too cause this was just a poor decision to make and should not be made in the future. bad form!

With the FFVII remake being worked on, I cannot await for when we have to find a wig, clothes and accessories to enact Hildebrand's next 'take the place of the target' plan.

This is way too loving funny. I can't help but roll my eyes at people exclaiming "YOU LOST MY SUB" over whatever bullshit agenda having to do with game design they want to push. I think the only people who give a poo poo are socially unaware aspies that need to focus their attention at enjoying games for what they are instead of criticizing them for not being the pinnacle of storytelling. Final Fantasy XIV, so far as I can tell, isn't the "Herzog" of MMO storytelling. No Final Fantasy is, for that matter.

Anyone have any recommendations for Keyboards for PS4? Getting a standard USB corded keyboard to go along with the PS4 sounds kind of odd while using an untethered Dual Shock controller.

Haurchefant is blatantly into the PC regardless of race or gender. AFAIK we only got a subtler tone of him than the Japanese did. It was a valid and good call made to do that since he avoided the other japanese caricature of 'a person who is really into the first person and makes it really obvious but the first person doesn't overtly get it for forever' which is entirely too prevalent.

Fishious posted:https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/3u2wp9/quick_summary_translation_of_the_famitsu/ Well, quality and difficulty aren't the same thing - Heavensward's best fights and Heavensward's most difficult fights don't really intersect that much outside of Thordan.

It's just really depressing to me that what feels like the right sweet spot for a extreme primal fight is intentionally one time only. Difficulty is a part of why Thordan is good, I don't see why they think this doesn't have a place in their normal content lineup.

I think the thing I like most about Thordan is that there's very few challenges for which failure will always result in a wipe. Most mistakes can be recovered from. It's great after suffering through A3S which is basically "do this perfectly or you wipe".

You let him take the easy way out by kicking him. Either let him eat the 30 minute penalty or leave him on the ground when he dies. If he never leaves then kick him at the final boss.

SwissArmyDruid posted:I thought getting kicked gave a lockout, but I guess not. It just prevents you from rejoining the same one. The proper method is make them eat their penalty/kick before final boss/report to GM after if they really were being a douche. Also just yell in any goon FC that you need a tank in progress and it won't be too hard to fill.

It's great after suffering through A3S which is basically "do this perfectly or you wipe". I have my share of complaints about raids but almost all of them boil down to the idea that the above concept is the core of the difficulty. It drives me nuts, especially in the really long 12-15 minute raid fights that cap raid tiers. So many places where my responsibilities are temporarily fulfilled and I have nothing else to do but watch my party list to see if someone else is going to gently caress something up and make us start over. There's less of them once you have a gear buffer but A4S was loving horrible when I was learning it because a single mistake could do worse then wipe the raid it could set up a hard enrage ending 7 or 8 minutes later. A4S is also a terrible fight to try and wipe to deliberately with no death wall so it's irritating twice over.
