I have 100 leves and might as well blow them on crafter classes. Is there a list of specifically NPC-buyable item leves anywhere? A quick google didn't turn one up but I'm willing to believe I just missed a keyword.

Playing casually and killing some mobs now and then, it's not that bad.

Had a tank in the aery last night who was loving awful. Between every pull he would stop for 10 seconds, recast stoneskin on everyone, stand for another 30, then pull. He was constantly telling me to get out of cleric stance and that I shouldn't be dpsing and I was using the wrong fairy. He also was bitching nonstop at the blm and nin, but as I know nothing about those classes I can't say if he was right. On the last boss I got hit with the cc debuff and sat in it for a good 15 seconds while no one helped and we wiped, entire time he screaming at me to heal. On the run back he tells me "just cast medica noob". I explain that that is a white mage spell. "Well I have it on my scholar it's a level 30 spell u should go to your trainer and get it". On the next attempt it becomes evident that dps just isn't strong enough to kill the adds so I top up everyone and start broiling, to which he starts spamming "get out of cleric stance" in party chat. After we make the add phase he runs clear to the other side of the platform and dies and does not accept rez. So we kick him. One of the people in the group brings in a tank from their guild and we one shot the boss no trouble.

gently caress that guy.

On a lighter note thinking of changing my boy catgirl into a dragon waif. I have that transmutation flask sitting around and really dislike how healer gear looks on dude characters.

Is there any way to convey that I want to do mechanics and learn fights or is that likely to get me skipped over in PF? I mean I'm all the way through T11 of Coil and I can't say I really contributed meaningfully to many fights. I sorta figure out what's going on if we wipe a couple times, but most of the time I just mash out DPS and die in the last 10% or so. I don't like being carried, ya know? I'd rather not be poo poo.

I want to like paladin so bad since I love the sword and board aesthetic but holy poo poo its painful to play it after getting DRK to 60 and leveling WAR

it literally feels like it belongs to a different metagame entirely

I took a quick look at Dengeki and it looks mostly the same as this one. The one major point that was in there that wasn't addressed in here was the change of main stat for tanks from STR to VIT. He says explicitly that a full VIT tank in 3.2 is going to do less damage than a full STR tank at the same item level from 3.15, but they are intentionally doing this to somewhat reduce a tank's maximum damage output relative to DPS jobs. He also implied that STR's effect will be nerfed to the point where full VIT will out-damage STR/VIT hybrid with the 3.2 specs. The interviewer asks how that will affect enmity where tanks already had some difficulty holding hate against high DPS and Yoshida said they were planning to do enmity adjustments to the defensive stances.

Nice to have that confirmed, I guess.

Mr. Nice! posted:

Not surprised. I don't like it, honestly, but what are you gonna do? I guess a 30k health warrior will allow for more healer DPS.

Levantine posted:

Say so. I figure if a group passes you over because you are asking questions trying to learn an encounter, then you probably don't want to do it with that group.

Tortolia posted:

Also I seem to recall that Sonic isn't on Excalibur, so his chosen server might have linkshells in place for learning fights or doing them "properly". Can't hurt to check.

Mr. Nice! posted:

I think they are going to make savage hit harder than ever, though, as a result of this change.

Carver posted:

I've seen a few people say this and I just wonder if they ever really balanced for it before. Did they just end up expecting tanks to have a heavy amount of STR gear?

I guess knowing that tanks will be wearing VIT gear regardless now, it's easy to balance around. But I kinda thought that's how they would've done it before.

Other things from that interview:

- Midas is going to be more mechanically inclined than Gordias. There's also going to be a Gorilla fight?
- Yoship suggests people wanting to do an early clear of Midas get crafted gear.
- Warrior is remaining untouched (aka no nerfs besides whatever VIT gear changes do).
- He confirmed the Astral Fire adjustment.
- Red scrips will still be valuable for crafting (they aren't adding a new scrip).
- Hall of the novice basically becomes available right at Sash

The dps checks will be lower so the devs wonder if the top team will be able to create guides after 2 weeks this time.

How reasonable is it to ding 60 and jump into the Sky Pirate gear for pure ilvl? I have some gil stocked away if I have to buy stuff for crafters but is it going to break the bank?

Belzac posted:

I think I spent around 2 million but if you're on excal and in a hugbox goon FC you can probably get it for free or very cheap if you ask.

I can't wait for stone, sky, sea, assuming it does the job it's designed to do adequately. I would like to be trying Thordan Ex but I know very little of the fight and being able to practice it without getting in anyone's way sounds great to me. Also Sephirot, for the same reason.
