At 54 you get malefic II which has 200 potency to broil's 170 but SCH gets more dots and has an easier time just staying in cleric stance at the lower levels so it evens out a bit.

Gonna level scholar first and race changed to catgirl because the ONE lalafell animation that sucks had to be /spectacles and there's only one way this log horizon chain stratagem cosplay works.

Weird, the forums ate my post. Speaking of ASTs looking like dorks in cut-scenes: As a BLM I'm always bugged by the cut-scenes where I could very easily intervene/solve the problem with some magic, but because the WoL could be some putz with just a sword, I don't get to.

I'm probably going to just get up early and try to get in before the rush, since a lot of people probably won't be able to get friday off (or won't because server troubles). If I don't, I'm going back to bed until like midmorning before I even bother trying again. The curse of playing on a server with such a huge economy is having people demand server spots to pretend gently caress in the quicksand.

I'm always amused by the "Send them to the doctors immediately!" when this is a world where people are running around with healing magic all the time. Hell, even my summoner can do some healing. Watching the SAM and RDM MrHappy videos again, I think I will go full weeb and go SAM on Friday. Khisanth Magus fucked around with this message at 18:52 on Jun 14, 2017 |

I never really used services to change servers in other mmos but I was also under the impression that a lot of them don't give more than free transfers because they also don't impose as many restrictions as FFXIV.

My guild is primarily EU and they are jumping to the new EU server when it opens. I do want to go with them since they are awesome people but I do worry about my ping, what with me being in NA. I just remembered that I used to use WTFast and that worked out well back when I was on a slightly worse connection, so I am hoping that would help at least.

But they were just the free transfers as you said. I'm curious if these additional bonuses will draw people away from Balmung. Of course I also hope that they consider doing something like it for Maetus or the other server that still has housing open on it.

Looking over the new abilities et al, it feels like Red Mage has way fewer buttons than other jobs. Even Samurai has a good pile of them.

Hell, even my summoner can do some healing. HP is an abstraction, in combat healing magic is not necessarily literally regrowing damaged tissue but restoring your strength or concentration for dodging or whatever. Remember you and major NPC opponents are KO'd not killed. Regardless, if the plot demands someone die, at least have those capable of healing magic try and use some.

Yeah, but there's part of the AST questline where you're casting aspected benefic on soldiers and they comment on seeing their wounds knit back together.

SKULL.GIF posted:Looking over the new abilities et al, it feels like Red Mage has way fewer buttons than other jobs. Even Samurai has a good pile of them. Compared to Samurai they have one fewer button (they learn the same amount but one is Jolt which is replaced by Jolt II), 23 to 24, though Samurai do have two "freebies" with how their Iaijutsu works... but RDM kinda does too since I didn't include the Enhanced melee attacks so whatever. I'm too lazy to compare them to the existing classes because I don't want to find what skills are gone and which remain, but I doubt it's enough to make RDM have "way fewer". That all said RDM's bigger Thing is that half of their rotation's attacks are exactly the same as the other half so even with the same number of buttons it might feel sorta samey.

I only had one real goal on a deadline before the expansion hit and I failed. Idk why the squadron thing goes berserk for the two rank-up missions, but apparently being 3 off in one of the stats is enough to fail forever. Guess I'll be putting it back on the shelf then. I'm feeling like I'm gonna get some sweet alternate dialogue for playing through as a NIN, so I'm gonna do that.

But the again, there is the conjurer's guild. What's the deal with Jobs from a lore standpoint? From the handful of jobs I've done the context in which you get the job stone seems like they're mostly "chosen one" sorts of thing where the WoL is the only person beyond a few NPCs to get to be the job. On the other hand you have machinists which just seem like people with guns.

Machinist is literally the exception because it's a brand new discipline without an established lineage of experience that your job stone draws from. What's cool is that the game description for that job stone is specifically different from all the others to account for this.

I haven't done the Machinist questline to know about that specific example though.

I think most healing in the game does a combination of restoring stamina and repairing superficial or non-debilitating injury, and if you get lungshot or something you actually need bed rest and intensive care. That intensive care is probably magical and the WoL could probably handle it themselves if they're a level 60 white mage, but they've generally got more pressing things to do.

But the again, there is the conjurer's guild. Classes seem to be pretty common. There are whole guilds for them(except DRK), and they have plenty of representation. Jobs requiring crystals seem a lot more rare. The crystals are rare and seem to be the only way to learn how to use that jobs abilities. Except NIN.

I haven't done the Machinist questline to know about that specific example though. The Dragoon is explicitly meant to be limited to 1, until you become the second. But that's only because the Dragoon character is also the Azure Dragoon. There's other regular Dragoons.
