level 60 monk in main scenario roulette what the gently caress I put an enhanced arrow on them because that usually gets fun reactions, but then I looked at their buffs and they never had more than 1 stack of GL the entire time

Panic! at Nabisco posted:You can use ninjutsu once per 20 seconds, so basically your priority with it is: Only thing to note here is that Doton needs to tic at least seven out of eight times on all targets for it to be more overall damage than Katon. Things dying too soon or moving out of the effect will cause you to lose dps. For this reason I find that Katon is almost always better for AOE. e: hotbars in case you're interested

Panic! at Nabisco posted:c) Putting down Doton for groups Doton is generally a bad decision. Not always, but more often than not. It takes both a tank knowing not to drag poo poo out of it and the group dps being low enough where it ticks for 21 of it's 24 second duration on everything in the pull to outdo katon. Generally a lot of this isn't true. Especially considering in your AE opener you wouldn't start with Doton, your rotation would be shadewalker tank, death blossom, katon, death blossom, kassatsu, death blossom, doton. So you are going to be 6 seconds into the pull before doton even hits the field. You could start with doton and kassatsu the katon instead I suppose but even then everything in the pull still needs to live that 21 seconds before doton outdoes katon. This has generally not been the case in groups that I have been in. More broadly, I tend to do double katon if my cooldowns are up at the start of a pull and drop a doton if they aren't and the other dps is a melee and also the healer is honest.

The problem here rather clearly is using a full connection switching VPN instead of targeting FFXIVs route, not with Discord, which is cool and good

PIA *is* a full-connection-switching VPN. That's the problem. Discord client doesn't have the ability to clearly define ports for forwarding, they insist on using uPnP. SwissArmyDruid fucked around with this message at 06:50 on Jan 22, 2017 |

Finally finished downloading and I've made a char on Cactuar (no real reason why I picked that, a whim and no great desire to play on the main packed server). If someone feels like putting a valid recruit code in the appropriate thread I'll use it. The one I found had expired.

EponymousMrYar posted:A little bit more to this here actually. Because Fuma Shuriken will never clip a GCD and Raiton might, it's more like this: It depends on your SkS and latency, but the following should still hold for most people. "DNT guide posted:Another way of looking at my rules is to remember them as a priority system (#1 is highest priority): If you're unsure, the spreadsheet is helpful, although it doesn't give exact results. e: Also yeah there should be a rule about using Raiton when slashing isn't up somewhere in there.

Caeks posted:any Ninja players comment on how Ninja plays in the late game? In addition to everything that's already been said, keep in mind that things in FFXIV snapshot. So once you land your Trick Attack and/or pop all your cooldowns, refresh your DoTs. They will continue doing increased damage even if they last longer than the buff/debuff.

I wish I could use the ctrl and alt keys for my keybinds, but I don't like moving off of wasd. I can't reach ctrl and alt that way, so I make due. ~ is the real hotkey secret that no one uses.

shift, alt, and ctrl modifiers are kind of painful for me to use with any regularity. I'd much rather use the function keys and the center of the keyboard, which are also there for more than decoration. Sorry if that upsets you I guess.

Mymla posted:What the gently caress is this poo poo? Also, why would you assign poisons to mouse buttons? There's maybe a handful of fights in the entire game where you might want to change poison on the fly to switch between stun and silence, and even then you don't need quick access. I woulda thought you'd want to put a macro'd Shukuchi or Goad there or something. (Since you can bind it to target whatever you're hovering the cursor over.) Your layout is not exactly what I would choose and is therefore wrong and inferior good sir! Harumph!

This is why I just click most of my skills with my mouse. This game is amazing because there isn't one play style that is necessarily better. Whatever is most comfortable for you is what you should do. Some people play their keyboards like a piano and never touch their mice. Some idiots like my click 99% of things while frantically swinging the camera around to keep my apm up like some pro starcraft player. I have one friend that has some insane amount of keys on their mouse (like 10-15 with an entire numberpad on the side) who can play the game one handed. You can even fully play with a controller and not be limited in any real way. All that matters in this game is that you never use macros to trigger a GCD (except shadowflare with a target macro) and you hit your buttons in the right order for your class. How you want to do it is entirely up to you and in whatever way is most comfortable. Here are my dragoon hotbars  I only ever hit 1-6 on the bottom row and have both ctrl and alt mapped to the second bar although i never hit more than 1-3 for that one. I click every other button with my mouse. This game is amazing flexible because it allows people to play well enough to clear any content with any playstyle. I was floortanking one of our wipes on A8S here a couple of weeks ago while we were attempting to farm it gear. That fight is so much fun but it is the longest dumbest loving fight. If you roll in with full 270 it's pretty easy to skip one of the intermissions, though. Mr. Nice! fucked around with this message at 17:39 on Jan 22, 2017 |

Had three consoles and dozens of games stolen in 2003 and just never really gave a gently caress to buy anymore. I always had a computer and almost always had some version of diablo and that game was always just click till you can't click anymore. I haven't kept up with diablo III since well before the expansion, though.

You know, it just struck me how weird the NIN stances are. I mean the poisons are almost exactly the same except for a very marginal change to a couple of abilities. Thinking about it if they wanted to expand the breadth of NIN abilities without actually adding more buttons, Square could do a lot worse than just making Poisons affect more skills in various ways.

Alternatively they could just get rid of them because they add nothing to the play of the class beyond "do I need to stun or silence" (or rather "do I need to not build up stun or silence immunity"). I also think that stun and silence abilities shouldn't do damage, but that's another discussion.
