Well I am too dumb to actually use ACT correctly I think, so that 250 dps does include all the downtime ravana has, I think highest dps showing was like 800-900? And we still cleared well before any of the annoying mechanics started going off, so that can't be right. Still, that guy was almost as low as me and lower than the PLD tank, and I was also doing all the healing in there. Maybe he was actually just spamming scathe and there's a 50% downtime

I'm just about to get Rank 40 on my Pedigree 3 Chocobo, so I still have a really long way to go. It's really fascinating to see how it all works at the highest echelons. Gonna keep working at it and someday I hope to make a monster bird too.  It is definitely confusing for me, though- I've been focusing on Speed and Acceleration thus far, so I get the feeling I'm on the road for a similar rude awakening to the one you had.

Is there a way to get the game to add every single enemy that is currently targeting a party member to my enmity list, rather than only enemies I've tagged once?

Eopia posted:If it helps, I main dragoon and can tell you my basic opener. I go Heavy Thrust (Battle Litany) > Impulse Drive (Blood for Blood+Internal Release) > Disembowel (Blood of the Dragons + Leg Sweep) > Chaos Thrust (Geirskogul) > 4th (Power Surge + Jump) > Phlebotomize (Spineshatter Dive) > True Thrust (Dragonfire Dive) > Vorpal Thrust (Life Surge) > Full Thrust > 4th. The moves in () being used in between gcds after the ability. I personally use battle litany at 1 second before the pull. This helps out the rest of my group better than after the first GCD. HT, B4B, ID, Inner Release/Power surge, Disembowel, BotD/Legsweep, CT, Jump, combo finisher, DfD, phlebotomize, spineshatter dive, TT, geirskogul, VT, life surge, FT, Combo Finisher, and repeat. Typically you'd rather have your jump by itself between GCDs. The animation lock is long enough that if you use any other cooldown in that frame, you'll clip a good chunk of your GCD. Try to get power surge up a GCD or two before you're going to do your jump so it's by itself.

Keep one of the various world status checkers refreshing every couple of minutes or watch the game launcher. This one probably won't launch early cause it'll coincide with a weekly reset. Go play some other things, I'm currently bitching about people not getting on the loving control point in overwatch e: Whoa, patch notes makes it look like scrips have been obliterated?

all the old xkeep's stuff now takes blue scrips instead of red scrips, and half as many or less, 12 tokens instead of 26 for tools there's a second new universal set of crafted gear called carbonweave thing of gathering/crafting as well that might be designed to bridge the universal gap between chimerical felt/ironworks between this and the materia from the ixal there's going to be some people hilariously upset that this retarded system is easier to get into purified coke, etc. was all changed to blue scrips as well, and less raw materials

I'd been making good progress on my relic the past couple weeks, but I had a brain fart and thought maintenance was tomorrow, so I'd planned to finish it off today. Oh well, a few more days won't hurt anything, and it'll give other people a head start on being able to tell me how to optimize the new step.

And like Smart Car pointed out upthread, there's a chance it'll be a bit early but it won't be much due to the weekly reset. That reset is at 1AM PT, so that's the earliest it could probably come up. 2AM is more likely. (Going to be watching like a hawk anyway as I may or may not be hunting for a haus)

I want every enemy on the field as soon as they spawn (or failing that, currently being targeted by or targeting a party members), so that I can have all of their enmity icons on my screen, instead of just the enmity icons for enemies that I have personally attacked. Presently, the enmity list only shows stuff that I've damaged, so I was wondering if there was a setting I could change. Lemon-Lime fucked around with this message at 12:20 on Jun 6, 2016 |

Nope - the point is to show stuff that you have threat on, so it will never show targets you haven't attacked or interacted with. Now, if you're a caster of some stripe, you can chuck out a single heal to get threat on things, if you like. Otherwise, you're kind of out of luck. Also note that the enmity list has an upper limit - I think it's 8 targets or so? It's rarely a factor, but it can be in some cases.

Sadly, I'm WAR, so I can't toss out a heal. The aggro list in general is by far the worst part of this game, I have to say.

Flash can let you pick up multiple mobs in one GCD that overpower would need 2+ in a handful of situations and it's good to use while picking up mobs in 4-mans so your TP can regenerate a bit. In terms of actually generating threat on stuff you're fighting you don't really need it but what else are you going to use that cross class slot for.

Klades posted:Flash can let you pick up multiple mobs in one GCD that overpower would need 2+ in a handful of situations and it's good to use while picking up mobs in 4-mans so your TP can regenerate a bit. There's a case for Second Wind in scenarios where you might actually need that clutch healing (despite being shittier than both Thrill of Battle and Equilibrium and on a longer cooldown) but don't need Flash because, say, there aren't trash packs to worry about. (Most) raiding and extreme primals, for example. Provoke and Convalescence are a given. Internal Release, nearly as much so. Awareness is very solid for both its own effect (on the occasional thing that has a naturally high or guaranteed crit rate) and for taking away the drawback from Raw Intuition, though there are scenarios where neither of these is an issue (single target, doesn't crit noticeably).

In my opinion the use case for Flash as a Warrior is basically 4-mans. If you're planning on pulling multiple packs it's way more convenient to just run through a pack and Flash once while running than it is to hit those same enemies with Overpower. Flash isn't as useful outside of 4-man content. If I actively played Warrior I'd probably switch Flash in for 4-mans and swap it for Second Wind for raids.

Flash is pretty useful when you're just running too. You can pass through a group and Flash without having to target or line yourself up for them, so it can help with some flow. It's also another thing that works while you're pacified after using Berserk. Oh man, that's a lot of music to collect. I'm really digging that the city-state 1.0 themes are back too.

So now that goblin dice and cups are the new red scrip tokens, what can we do with the old red scrip tokens? Perhaps trade them in for the new tokens at a reduced rate? Also, I wish I kept mining blue scrip. I stopped once I got all the books. quote:ALIASES: Nice!

I can't log on anymore. Any time I try to open the patcher, I get this message while the launcher/updater is still loading: Unable to complete version check. [30605] [20448] [10009] [10019] This started randomly overnight. I did not update anything on my computer, I changed no settings, and nothing I have thought to do can get rid of this and let me log on. Based on some suggestions on the Internet, I restarted my router (twice), tried to reinstall the launcher, ran an anti-malware program. No change. I am on Windows 10. Anyone know how to fix this? I really want to get on and do the event.

I think the login pop-up notification about maintenance was going for most of the weekend, not just yesterday, though I could be wrong. Still, anyone planning on logging on to do the event probably hasn't been on in a scale of weeks rather than days, so it would be understandable not to have gotten the notification that way. On the other hand, a good MMO habit to pick up is, if you can't log on, check the official site and see if there's any maintenance going on, before worrying if it's something on your end.
