I'm excited to try out Samurai but I don't have any level 50 melee gear, nor do I have a pile of Poetics to get it with, so it'll have to wait at least until I reach Heavensward and can buy some. I can't see it winning out over Red Mage for me, because RDM feels amazing and I've only played it for a half hour, but Samurai does seem pretty sweet and those slash sound effects are perfect.

Played for an hourish this morning. Role actions are neat and it'll be interesting to see which ones end up being the most useful for which jobs. Wrapping my head around the Bard Changes is going to take a while! Red Mage also seems really neat: dualcast will take a while to get a hold of but I think the basic rotation would be something like this? Initiate with Verthunder or Veraero (doesn't seem to matter) dualcast into the other one (So verthund>veraero or veraero>verthunder) - If verfire or verstone procced, cast that and dualcast into its' black/white opposite of veraero or verthund (So verfire > veraero or verstone > verthunder) - if they didn't proc, cast jolt and then dualcast into verthunder or veraero and try again I haven't quite figured out if the opportune time to go corps-a-corps and spend all your black/white mana is at 50/50 or 75/75 or even just waiting till full 100/100, and I haven't really looked at the other abilities, so i'm probably missing something important. E: The cast times on verthunder and veraero are really, really long, so you should never hardcast them except at the start of the battle The Duchess Smackarse fucked around with this message at 14:53 on Jun 16, 2017 |

Also note that in the very first new area (accessed probably 10 minutes into the MSQ) the vendor there sells ilvl 255 gear

The 50 new job gear is 115 nq stuff. Not amazing but it's functional enough for leveling. e: Beat!

Jimmy Hats posted:Played for an hourish this morning. Role actions are neat and it'll be interesting to see which ones end up being the most useful for which jobs. My understanding is the optimal time to melee combo is 80+/80+, and once you get Verflare and Verholy you want them to be uneven. 80 mana is the minimum amount necessary to do a full melee combo (and you want the Enchanted Redoublement even before getting Verflare/Verholy, because it has very high potency), and uneven means you can guarantee a proc by casting Verflare/Verholy in accordance with whichever mana is lower. Edit: Though for AoE I think the rotation is just spam Scatter until you have 30/30, use the cone aoe weaponskill (Moulinet?), and repeat.

That holy/flare thing seems kinda neat but playing this job seems like it's going to get pretty technical trying to pull the exact best possible white/black mana numbers, since the increments are 3, 8 (on certains procs) 9 (on other certain procs) and 11!

PvP is WAY different, but it feels pretty good. Reminds me a lot of Battlerite, like I thought it would. It gives a ton of exp too: Came in second for 600k at level 60. Guess I'm grinding frontlines to 70 on my other jobs!

I am so hype. I only had time to run a dungeon, do my job quest, and do some MSQ before class, but wow. The changes to NIN already feel great and this is just the tip of the iceberg. I have to fight some muscle memory for Mutilate and stuff like that, but it'll pass. Those big numbers are sooooooo good. I also swung around a katana a little, but I don't wanna waste life in PotD.

This is correct. You want 80/80 black/white mana and you want one to be a little higher than the other. Then, you decide whether to cast Verflare or Verholy depending on which mana is lower. If black is lower, cast Verflare; if white is lower, cast Verholy. You'll guarantee a Verfire or Verstone proc, respectively, if there was an imbalance and you use the right finisher. It's one of those things that seems small but will probably add up over a long fight.

Once you throw Impact into the rotation (basically it replaces Jolt whenever you have an Impactful proc) you also have a 4 increment. Veryholy and Verflare themselves increase their respective mana by 21 and give you a guaranteed proc of their color for another 9 if done right, getting you a big leap towards building mana back up.

SonicRulez posted:I also swung around a katana a little, but I don't wanna waste life in PotD. You won't have to! I was skimming the patch notes last night, and it seems they've buffed EXP gains from FATE's considerably. They added the following: -Randomly, FATEs will be marked on the map as giving bonus exp for completion -Occasionally during a FATE an additional enemy will appear, if it is defeated then everyone who participated in the FATE will receive a buff which increases exp gained from FATEs for however long the buff lasts So I figure between daily leveling roulettes and occasional FATE stuff leveling should be less painful now.

I would've considered just doing a daily LDR, but I expect queues to be pretty yikes for the next few weeks and the duty finder was borked this morning. I figure SAM will be right where I left it in a couple of months when I'm at endgame looking for stuff to do.

I have to admit I don't understand what Impact is there for. It just seems like one more proc in a job that already has a good amount of procs and it's just a stronger, flashier version of Jolt II when it happens. Like it sort of seems extraneous. That said, I'm not going to complain that we get a cool flower explosion spell.

If you're running at 1080p, you could probably downsample from 4k if you have a fast enough GPU. There are UI scaling options somewhere.

Impact's a bit weird, maybe it's a bit of leftover design space where it was intended for something else but got trimmed down. I agree the animation is cool though.

Stormblood downloads through opening heavensward so uhhh I think either too many people are downloading it or your connection is fucky.
