Tanks are very strong, healers are necessary but not especially fun to play, bard and machinist seem to be the go to jobs for safe dps.

summoner is pretty good for low effort frontlines roulette.

find a blob of distracted enemies, tri-disaster contagion bane fester painflare DWT deathflare as fast as possible, then run away and do whatever for 60 seconds until you can do it again. you'll probably get a bunch of kills right away, and the heavy/healing reduction from miasma makes it easier for the rest of your team to kill people. throwing in some ruin 3s before deathflare will get even more kills but runs the risk of someone noticing you and stunning/killing you before you can get the deathflare off.

Queue for PVP, follow the zerg, kill nothing, get marks anyway.

Repeat as necessary.

What's the ilevel sync for 28v28v28 and would I want vit accessories for it? I'd like to at least follow the zerg and get wolf marks while I have a chance with short queues, but healing in pvp is frustrating and unfun and that's the only thing I have geared right now. I have summoner at 60 but its gear is like i210 or something, and I don't have vit rightsides.

The achievements that reward the mounts require 10 frontline wins for the Silver horse, 30 feast wins for the Gold horse, and 60 combined wins of either for the Black horse.
For the wins to count you need to be wearing one of the titles that you receive for buying a full set of gear. So first thing you need to do is just get 18k wolf seals.

callback emails don't get sent out immediately... in fact they send out one batch a week

quote:

Invitation e-mails will be sent once per week. In the event multiple players send invitations to the same character within a one week period, a single e-mail will be sent listing the character names of all inviters.
Invitation e-mails will not be sent to players who do not meet the requirements of the campaign. Furthermore, we cannot guarantee recipients will receive invitation e-mails.

gonna laugh if I'm just not gonna get it until tuesday of next week or some poo poo

I'm actually mad that they localized away information that was crucial to understand how to spawn S rank elite hunt marks, we had to go find the Japanese text to even have a shot at them because the localized versions were 100% useless

I really should have expected that it would have been something like this that no organic being actually cares about.

It syncs to ilvl 150. You can just switch your stat points to vit with a keepers hymn as well. It`s nice to have about 10k hp to survive a melee lb.

With the amount of people playing PVP for the first time to get the Garo armor, the law of averages is in your favor. Queue up three times, you're gonna win one.

Also, if you want a bit more vit for pvp, the yasha earring of fending isn't a bad option. It's only 25 centurio seals and has crit/det on it.

How noticeable exactly IS the difference if you swap out all your gear for >i150 pieces with Crit/Det versus just going in wearing your level-synched mixed-bag stuff? I mean, I want to be a step above the PVP normies, but at the same time :effort:

Edit: For PVP, I mean.

Note that I'm in a high dps group so we skip half the mechanics, but still it's a fun fight. I got my bird on our second clear too so that was loving awesome.

I don't know to be honest. Some stats are pretty uselss though like parry and accuracy when it's above 410, so it can only be beneficial? Using a >i190 piece guarantees that the substats on it will be maxed out when they are synced down to i150.

In case anyone was curious about the odd name for some of the new dungeon gear, "filibuster" is an archaic term for soldiers who would go on unauthorized expeditions into a foreign country to foment revolution, such as during the leadup to the Mexican-American war.

Apparently there is an accuracy cap for melee, but its pretty low at 410. One piece of gear could get you there probably.

Totally made the mistake of buying Heavensward via steam when I already had an FFXIV account. Tried to process the refund request, but got denied due to having a playtime of 7 hours - which was me leaving the game downloading while I went to work. Guess steam counts the time in the client downloading patch data as time played.

I've tried to process another refund request with more info and reaching out to steam support via twitter, but if it still gets denied - is there any way I could gift the keys to a goon?

Edit: Has there been any leaks yet for what additional jobs Stormblood is going to have? Mained SAM in FFXI, and I want to play an FFXIV SAM so bad.

Files present in the latest patch suggest that we're either getting SAM or someone's reaching deep on their misdirection game.
