Zereth posted:The one boss fight in hullbreaker hard that starts the instant you step over the purple line is annoying in that. Augh, yeah that bugs me. I like the fight in general, since battling a whole crew of Pirates while their ship fires on you is a fantastic scene, but it really sucks when somebody unwittingly locks somebody out because the rules of engagement changed for this one fight. Not that it's hard with just three, but it's slow going.

Pretty much near as I can tell, unless your DPS is exclusively Bards and Machinists, you want to keep things moving. MCHs being the only class that benefits from lulls to just build free ammo stacks from quick reload.

Any DPS is greater than 0 DPS, which is what you do when you've got both thumbs up your rear end doing a ready check for trash.

If tanks are sitting on their asses after a Scholar has just popped a crit adlo for Deployment Tactics, I will pull with absolutely no apology. My FC has learned to move their asses when they see me priming a fully buffed Empyreal Arrow because they know I will absolutely do it. I pulled the second boss of Weeping City this way on day 1 of the patch.

DACK FAYDEN posted:Not as relevant now that it's not in EXDR, but this was my go-to technique for the last stretch of the Antitower. If the tank didn't bother to pull all the Wind-Up guys into the room with the Centaurs, I just kept autorunning until they spawned and started attacking me. Because screw it, I'm a BLM, I have a mitigation cooldown and I want big numbers on Flare. I hope you die in a fire, which I would let you do for that crap

I usually try to keep the pace up in 4/24-mans, so if someone actually does run way out ahead of me and pull, or pull while we're still fighting the last thing, it's a rare occurrence and I generally let them eat poo poo. I mean, pulling more/faster than I normally do requires outright belligerence. I can't imagine not max-pulling in antitower, but if the healer was bad enough that I decided I needed to and some BLM or whatever went ahead and grabbed the rest, I would not pick those mobs up until the healer got aggro. LethalGeek posted:When you're new and 30 ilvls behind the crowd things change. I'd do it now cause I can keep up better & know what's going on but for a while at ~200 I had to bust my rear end just to hold enmity in a lot of dungeons. Your ability to hold enmity should not be very closely related to the number of things you're fighting. Klades fucked around with this message at 20:29 on Jun 21, 2016 |

Yeah, I don't really envy fresh tanks in max level content. Even if they know what they're doing and didn't just derp their way to 60 through fates or something, the gear differential would be pretty drat painful at first. An existing player leveling a tank alt can get around that by just doing things on their main job until they've geared the tank well enough, but a new player leveling a tank as their first main doesn't have that luxury.

From what I understand, the site crashed right around the time I got my confirmation message. The 3:01 Chrome browser is still spinning.... hope others got in

(also being undergeared was less of an issue when Antitower was current because we were all running around in 220 crafted with 210 weapons or whatever and it's average ilvl 200 to get in - admittedly, I haven't tried it lately, but I'd imagine it's quite possible for me to not notice an undergeared tank and make it an issue)

Even if they know what they're doing and didn't just derp their way to 60 through fates or something, the gear differential would be pretty drat painful at first. I'm doing the expert dungeons as a 205 tank, and it's only a problem when the dps is 230+ melee character. Casters either take long enough time for me to get a good lead, or are bad. Probably both. A geared monk or dragoon takes a lot of effort to keep threat against, but thankfully at their gear level they can shrug off a few hits as well as I can. Bosses aren't as hard as trash as I can usually push a few extra cooldowns to get my lead, and many of the mechanics buy me some extra time while the DPS is dealing with it, but I can't afford to drop into Deliverance very often. I actually like it. I can't just run into a group, overpower 3 times, and then grab a snack.

SirPhoebos posted:Are there any guides to leveling up the gathering jobs? MIN and BTN: Do exclusively evaluation leves (card contains a girl with flowers or a miqo'te fishing) and grind that poo poo. ALWAYS have your FC gathering exp bonus and a consumable bonus on. It really helps to have a level 60 gatherer (FSH) so you can spend blue scrip and get the best consumable EXP boosters, because the blue scrip boosters have a huge exp multiplier and at low levels there's no way you'll ever hit the exp limit before the time runs out. Past level 50, spam collectibles. You will become very familiar with old world figs and yellow copper ore.

I'm sure leves are faster and all, but I liked just going out and actually fishing while chatting and/or just listening to music or reading. I think this was the guide I used to help. http://www.ffxivguild.com/ff14-fishing-fisher-leveling-guide-a-realm-reborn/

Also, if you don't already, a controller helps with fishing because the rumble is an easy indicator of the type of fish you're going to pull up.

Was playing the latest section and got to the dungeon with the 200 item level requirements, and stopped since I'm only at 180. What's the fastest way to get to 200, besides outright buying it? (not that rich) theblackw0lf fucked around with this message at 23:25 on Jun 21, 2016 |

Get friendly neighborhood crafters to make crafted 220 for you. What server are you on? I can cover rightsides, and I know someone who can make the leftsides if you're on Faerie, and if you're on Excal there will be goons lining up to help you.

Use that gear until you get the tomestones you need to buy the item level 200 equipment. They're right cheap, so it shouldn't take too long.
