You can throw the i50-55 AF gear into the armoire at least if you ever want it for glamors without taking up inventory space. Of course because this is the armoire if you augment it so you can dye your AF gear then you can't store it in the armoire anymore! You can't dye the i90s at all though, some of their textures you can't replicate with dying the AF set.

SonicRulez posted:I can preset the distance? When using a controller, the game will remember where your ground target is relative to the camera. So you can activate Shukuchi whenever, move the ground target to a reasonable spot, and then cancel Shukuchi. The next time you use it the target should already be in the spot you set it. This applies for all ground target effects though, and it can get annoying if you regularly switch between, say, Bard and Dark Knight. Basically ground targeting is the worst part of the gamepad controls.

Ground affects need the press twice to drop centered on current target feature from SWTOR and other games I'm sure I'm forgetting.

 Nidhogg's attacks were taking something like a third of this guys HP with each hit. I barely touched DPS keeping his scrawny rear end alive the entire fight and then he gets all "healers should heal and not dps" well I would if you weren't loving spreading your rear end in a top hat wide open to the boss and letting him plough you like a 2.0 floorgoon e: yes I mad Ignimbrite fucked around with this message at 11:58 on Jan 29, 2016 |

Since the question has come up a couple times, I can speak from personal experience on playing ARR on one system while having HW on another. You can level any class up to 50 on either system You do gain armory bonus on the ARR system up to 50 even if your highest class is >50 or HW-only You can swap to a >50 class on your ARR system without getting screwed over If you are 50 or higher, you gain 0 XP for mobs/quests/etc if playing on an ARR system Quests added in HW cannot be done on your ARR system, even if intended for <50 If you log out in a HW area, you cannot log in on your ARR system You are not level synced beyond normal amounts if you do any content as a >50 character in ARR You cannot enter any HW dungeons on your ARR system, either as >50 or =50 You can equip and use any HW-only items that your characters could normally use on your ARR system You are not locked out of equipping any >50 gear on your ARR system if your character can already equip it

I mean.. yes healers should dps but... maybe if your tank is squishy garbage you could not dps and heal the tank instead.

Also, if your tank is squishy garbage, check not only their cooldown usage but their leftside gear. Unlike in several other games, the basic defense and magic defense stats have a pretty drat appreciable effect in this one. In 4-player dungeons at any rate, cooldown usage also makes a more observable effect on trash packs (especially in HW content) than it does on bosses. For most bosses, a suitably geared tank is perfectly reasonable to heal with minimal cooldown usage and in their DPS stance.

Going straight to "shut the gently caress up" seems kinda goony, but I don't know if there were arguments about healing beforehand. Like, the tank seems put out to have to use cooldowns, and the healer is mad that the tank is too squishy. I liked the "driving test" line.

I think PLD is currently joked about because its DPS capabilities are limited compared to WAR and DRK. But you should play whatever job you want because nobody actually cares.

Cleric Stance dancing just feels kind of lovely in general though. I am all for Healers throwing their dots and aoe and such during pulls and low damage phases but man do I wish Cleric Stance didn't exist. It's just a delay in getting back to healing if you need to, or a delay getting to throw your DPS spells because they do completely worthless damage without it. They could have made healer dps skills just you know, scale with healer stats instead.

Paladins are good, they're just limited in bleeding edge content because their damage output (especially AoE) is noticeably lower than other tanks. But if you're not pushing world firsts, you'll be perfectly fine and have fun with it.

Paladin trades offensive strength (mostly AOE DPS) for extra defensive cooldowns and protection. It doesn't mean the class is worthless but FFXIV content is currently at a state where extra group DPS is a much bigger benefit than some extra sturdiness on the tank, so PLD suffers accordingly in the meta. Edit: I dig PLD quite a bit, even if the class design feels kinda like a test run for DRK. I also have no problems running PLD in any group content I want to run. There are times, however, where DPS in a group feels low and I am limited in my ability to pick up the slack and it's a bit frustrating.

Paladins get made fun of because they're a class that focuses on being incredibly hard to kill at the sacrifice of damage output, when the current game meta encourages tanks to just be hard enough to kill while maximizing their DPS.

In addition to bleeding edge content, I'd argue that they're noticeably a little worse even in casual content, just because it means clears are going to take a little longer than if you were playing as DRK or WAR. But it honestly doesn't matter that much, we're probably talking maybe a difference of a minute or two to clear the dungeon, tops--if you have fun with the class, play it, they're fine.

Paladins are garbage at all levels of content. Anything you do on Paladin you could be doing better on Dark Knight. Also when everyone says poo poo like "they trade offense for defense" is just pretty much wrong. Or they're right and the Paladin is just poo poo at trades. The amount of extra survivability they get is so minuscule and the extra dps they give up is so massive that you really need a fight specifically designed for pld cooldowns to even notice. If it wasn't for hollowed ground you wouldn't even be able to tell right now they're supposed to be more survivable.

Oxxidation posted:My first dungeon death came about due to a Bomb. Yeah, checks out. It's certainly doable if you just mean straight leveling, but it will cost you a LOT of gil to keep up with gear especially once you hit 50+, and there's a couple areas you just plain can't get into without progressing through HW MSQ. So it's really not recommended past 50.

Also they're boring as gently caress to level because they have only one low power damage combo all the way to level 54. So yeah, don't bother with paladin. This isn't goon hyperbole, they really are garbage right now.

I only did it a few times when I was subbing in someone else's group, but it is nice to be able to just run around and take care of pretty much all the mucilage stuns by yourself. There's also leviathan ex at i90 when pld stunlocking was vital. But yeah, not really much else.

Last night I main tanked A3S for the first time with my fairly scrubby i200 DRK and a healer with connection problems. The group made it past add phase a few times and most of the wipes weren't even my fault! I have no idea why but the fight felt more fun and chill as MT than as a DPS.

Stunlocking is never going to be vital again for PvE content because there are only two jobs in the game that can stun repeatedly.

Klades posted:Stunlocking is never going to be vital again for PvE content because there are only two jobs in the game that can stun repeatedly. Yes and no. You have to stunlock the hands on the final phase of A3S and plenty of people do that fine by distributing the stuns between the tanks and melee. You lose out on 2 seconds of stun over PLD solo stun locking, but you also lose a lot of DPS by having a paladin stand there with his dick in his hand stunlocking.
