Quelling Strikes is a good way to see how painful the rest of the run is going to be. If I either a) pull hate off the tank with my opening rotation with QS, or b) am the only one of 4-5 DPSes using QS, and I'm still #2 on the hate list before QS even wears off, Bad Times are going to be had in the near future.

also i never use quelling strikes because how are these guys supposed to learn to push buttons if i go out of my way to coddle them anyways. it's called tough love. for most rando tanks i get though it's not single target that's the problem, it's when you start rolling windbite/venom on three dudes and they don't pay attention to the other two

It's a recolor of the Red Thief/Ghost Thief set from the Arboretum/Pharos HM series of dungeons. Man, I am really bummed they're falling back on the recolor train AGAIN for dungeon gear so soon after the Aery recolor poo poo. a crisp refreshing Moxie fucked around with this message at 18:59 on Sep 15, 2016 |

fount of knowledge posted:It's a recolor of the Red Thief/Ghost Thief set from the Arboretum/Pharos HM series of dungeons. I would have been happier if it was all vault recolor at least, instead of recoloring of gear that it feels like just came out. Also the brd/mch recolor is way shitter than the original. I actually kinda like the checkerboard pattern of the vault recolors.

I'm assuming they're recolours just so that they don't have to add 4 brand new sets of gear. It was the same back in 2.4 as well, when we had 3 new sets + the myth gear in dungeons.

Yeah I'm okay with dungeon gear being recolors since we're getting New Tomestone Gear AND Crafted gear AND Alex Tier 3 gear.

Tanks clearly get Creator's Armor of Brute Justice then and it'll be a non-dyable rainbow nightmare. Real talk, will the final boss live up to the hype of Illuminati Sentai Gob-V and their theme song featuring the cheers and wishes of all good Goblin children everywhere? I hope next years Summer festival event has the Legacy Rangers Fighting them.

It looks like MegaFaust at least may be fought outside of Alex if that teaser screenshot is accurate, but my kokoro wish for a12 is still a fight on top of Alexander's head while it stomps around the hinterlands blowing poo poo up. Because that would own.

Right now we have to play through 9 minutes of fight to just work on something new, and we still have two more phases after gavel to worry about.

We're probably getting the 3.4 trailer on Saturday since they're doing part 2 of the preview at TGS, and we're only a week and a half out at this point, so maybe we'll see the A12 boss then.

See I want the opposite, I want Alex to start moving but get toppled by some clever plan from Garland Ironworks Company and the Idyllshire goblins and then you fight on top of it like the beached Arsenal Gear. Let the NPC cast actually matter while you're inside loving up all the Illuminati pots and pans and then have a big metal gear fight on top of the corpse of the Gob-Brass God.

Alexander is literally a giant mech so I would be stunned if we do not see it at least move about the Hinterlands. What I really want is for the Ironworks to create mechs of their own to combat it. What's I'm saying is that I want a boss fight like the last few levels of Wonderful 101, where you are you with all your skills but also in a giant mech, fighting it out in some field.

See, my kokoro wish is that Cid builds his own giant mech to fight Alexander and you do... something. Main tank gets to form the head.

Hey, if you want to make some money - go buy out some of the rare (and not so rare) fish. There will no doubt be a spike in fish prices for people who want aquariums but don't want to level fishing.

I've leveled fishing but even after hitting 60 I dread starting on Big Fishing. I'm kind of tempted to just buy my way through that sidequest line.

Mr. Nice! posted:If I snag hate it's after I'm done with my opener or near finished with it. If it's a minor trial or something I'll just hold hate for a second until I have a clear chance to do it. Depending on the fight I can just aim at the wall and not really even get out of melee range. It's possible to use the skill without really slowing yourself down or losing out on too much dps. Would it be possible to spin around and elusive jump through your target? I mean, I don't have remotely the dexterity to pull it off, but it'd be pretty funny.
