Buzzard, Who Steals From Dead Bodies

Caeks posted:

I'm actually swamped with work related projects for the next couple of days and I'm not going to be able to do much else, unfortunately. I'm so close to finishing the MSQ that I could probably finish it on a single day off, but with Stormblood being so close, and from what I gather are ilvl requirements for finishing up the MSQ, I might as well just start SAM at release THEN finish up the MSQ.

I also left quests unfinished through my journeys in HW and it'll be nice to finish them up as SAM.

Edit:

While I'm not worried about gearing up my SAM, as I've acquired a huge chunk of MNK gear already - how does a new SAM go about collecting weapons while leveling 50-60? Does SE normally put new weapons for the new jobs in older instances?

The way I understand it, only "blue" level weapons get added retroactively--i.e. to primals, raids, and tomestones.

This was at least what I saw mentioned for sam/rdm somewhere but I'd also be unsurprised at a set of 50-60 white weapons or leveling dungeon drops

There are green weapons in ARR dungeons for the HW classes, so there should be in HW dungeons for the SB classes too. Having to back add a bunch of poo poo is a really good reason for why it makes sense for them to keep increasing the start level on these new jobs, so they don't have to redo every dungeon that drops weapons in the whole game.

I was dead set on Samurai but after watching a RDM overview...gently caress, that looks really fun too. Now I don't even know which one to focus on. I'm not a huge fan of RNG in general (unless it's periodic procs) so I'm not sure about how I feel with the whole 50% chance thing. One thing I like about Samurais is that there's no RNG and they seem to be really self-reliant, which is great. ugh I don't know what to choose anymore. still probably samurai, just because they look cool as hell

The correct place to log out if you're going to make a beeline for a new job straight off is in front of the poetics vendor so you can buy an ironworks weapon immediately.

my 50-60 plan is to waste my life in PotD until my brain and soul can't take it anymore, which I picture being around level 55-56. then i'll hop out, queue for LLDR and do beast tribe dailies and FATES until a queue pop. presumably that'll be a level or so and then I'll weep into my sleeve as I dive back into potd. hopefully the second delve will be with a full premade since other humans will actually be awake then.

They give you a level 50 weapon with the jobquest and goons can poo poo out crafted versions that will certainly be included in 3-4 button presses though.

I still need 40 wins for that horse. At least I can BRD at max level. Did they say if they were taking the achievements out in SB or was it just that the Disreputable Priest was going away so you couldn't get titles anymore?

Yes, but will those poo poo-out i115 katanas be glowing magitek katanas of the future? :awesomelon:

Just to make sure, there's nothing that boosts combat class exp from 50-60 other than the 3% from food, right?

You can get items from your squadron that give extra XP from monsters for 2 hours.

If you have at least one of the Garo titles you can grind the horses out at your leisure. The achievements tied to wins with a title active, it's unrelated to the event.

It's not clear when the priest is going away though. Supposedly the gear will still be there on a vendor, but the priest will go away so you can't get a new achievement. She's supposed to hang around for "a little while" after Stormblood launches, so my best bet is another month or so, 4.1 at the latest.

It's fixed timing but ones with random targets like say earthshakers, you don't know if you are going to get X seconds of downtime (and how that pushes your rotation) because it could always target the other players.

It's this and it may be a lower DPS loss just to continue as if nothing happened, I just mean there are things in fights that make you disengage in a way that isn't 100% the same every fight

That's true, but I have the feeling the SB changes to jobs intended for simplifying juggling basic job mechanics will alleviate the issue. Samurai is even designed for the new system from get-go.

I mean fundamentally that's what the "Absorb sen for kenki"move seems to be for, to get you out of a sen bind where you need to re-apply dots or use a move without wasting a sen (by applying one you all ready have). With it's 40S CD it should be fine but it is the trickiest thing about Sam, you're basically preparing for your future self to make sure you aren't sen locked
