I hope it got the axe just to shut up pubbie WARs who think their GCDs are somehow more important than mine.

Was complaining to myself about the lack of quests between level 45 and 50, and now that I'm level 50 I am overwhelmed by the amount of quests being thrown at me. I don't think I've had this many quests in my log at once.

Isn't the Direct Hit stat only for DPS anyway? I don't think WARs will be able to get any of it, so unless everybody has a base amount...

Orcs and Ostriches posted:My server's novice network was pretty low key about most of it, except for one guy who's going absolutely ballistic about the pvp changes. The condensing of PvP is really stupid and done to dumb down the game even further. I enjoyed the competitive nature of PvP and enjoyed watching the streams of skilled players within the community. Regarding PvE they talk about DPS disparity but I don't even think they understand their own game. You can remove cleric stance and bad healers are still not going to DPS, you can change the battle system all you want and make it as flashy as you want yet people are still not going to pay attention to visual cues and triggers on when to use certain things. The DPS disparity comes from personal skill and people not willing to take the advice to improve. Again SE caters to the casuals who refuse to get good in this game.

I don't think I've had this many quests in my log at once. I'm not a fan of waiting in dungeon queues for all those quests since i dared to level primarily as DPS  although i suppose the extra experience from doing these dungeons for the first time when they weren't "intended" for that is pretty nice, since the main quests for a little bit don't actually give you XP at 50. Just blue gear for a while.

Based on MCH/AST/DRK, poetics and probably scripture poe since they start at 50, scrip since it's the "common" 60 currency

I'm sad about them removing cleric stance but maybe they'll add more things to do while healing that's less mechanically janky to replace it.

Schneider Heim posted:Is this game's Bard job fun/rewarding? How Bard-y does it get? You picked like the worst time imaginable to ask that question because it looks like it's getting a major revamp in a month or so. You shoot arrows and manage damage over time effects, and you play songs to buff your entire raid group. Anything other than that is kind of a big question mark.

But as vOv said, the game's getting a significant revamp when the new expansion comes out in a month and the previews of the Bard job show it playing differently than it used to.

Think of them as Rangers with some minor support skills. They're also very high mobility (or will be, come Stormblood) so that's always fun.

I wish I shared your optimism, the stance dance is all I had to do as a WHM. At least I can pull Black Mages out of ley lines and random party members into AOEs now.

I asked because I've been having the urge to play an MMO and I saw that this game has the Bard job. It's either this or rolling a Warlock in WoW (which I haven't played in like 10 years). I would like something that doesn't demand too much from your life and still have reasonable fun with...

I am pretty thrilled about a lot of this, mainly the death of Cleric Stance but also the addition of readability UI elements because I love my AST but I would love it even better with UI elements for cards instead of watching the tiny buff bar. I'm not really sure how the DRK blood gauge thing works though, are they changing anything about the current system or is the EDGY BLOOD SWORD UI just clarity stuff? I can't decide what DPS to level first. By which I mean after DRK and AST. Oh god.

i enjoy ffxiv a lot more than wow but leveling in ffxiv is not a fast process at all, and even if you boost to 60/boost to the end of HW you're still looking at a while before you're going to hit 70 in stormblood and get to the 'real' game. thinking about the pvp changes, i sincerely hope they re-integrate the fold. the fact that the 'casual' small team pvp is the arena analog is bizarre to me, and the feast just feels like a bizarre game mode to have to be taken seriously.
