Do I need to finish all of HW stuff before I can dive into Stormblood or is just finishing the 3.0 storyline good enough? I'm somewhere in 3.3 or 3.4 I think. I just killed Nidhogg.

The Great Twist
You'll have to finish the rest of the post 3.0 MSQ questline to get into stormblood content, unless you want to pay for one of the skipping items.

You don't have a ton left, maybe a few hours if your gear isn't in bad shape or you have people to run you through the dungeons in a premade group.

I have neither of those things, but it's ok. (Also I'm not on Excal) I'll deal with pubbie bullshit on Friday.

Character is now parked in the Rising Stones. Didn't finish all my pre-4.0 goals but I got pretty drat far. Now to pretend my monk brought a jukebox with her and is playing all the best music to the annoyance everyone else in the Stones while she waits.

current rotations have paladin with the highest potency per second before this change, not to mention a boatload of utility, i think we'd see paladins regardless

Got a 10k Sidewinder on my last Dun Scaith run of the expansion. Feels good man, BRD was great fun, can't wait to see it with mobility brought back.

Or maybe MCH.

After I get disillusioned with RDM, of course. :v:

My only disappointment about the knoweldge we have of Stormblood is that the critical hit limiter will still exist on Barrage. :smith:

Hopefully it will be able to Direct Hit at least.

Even if it doesn't it's up to 3x damage so that's still great.

I'm pretty sure that before it would buff your magic damage by 20% if you were above 80% MP, so PLDs doing single-target would just use Requiescat and then spam Mini-Holy or whatever. Holy Trick Attack is definitely new.

e: Old tip:

quote:

Lv.68 - Physical damage with potency of 350
The more MP you have, the more damage it does
Additional effect: If MP is over 80%, damage dealt and healing done are increased by 20% for the next 12 seconds

If there's anything more important than my ego around, I want it caught and shot now.
Does that stack with trick attack then or is it like the slashing debuff where you get one from anybody total?

PLD getting utility is interesting...

People on reddit seem to think it's better to log off in low congestion areas so it's easier to log in.
