YoshiOfYellow posted:I think my favorite thing about Bard now is that I can force bad trashcan tanks who refuse to push buttons to use cooldowns between Nature's Minne and Palisade. The former of which only has a 45s cooldown. Spam that poo poo and make healers love you. Don't forget Troubadour. It's also a defensive cooldown that changes effect based on your current song gauge at use. And it affects everyone! Except yourself, because thats apparently still a thing Bards should have to deal with when using their own skills sometimes. But yeah, Minne owns. Short cooldown Convalescence that is usable on yourself and anyone else in your party. Skaw fucked around with this message at 00:09 on Jun 24, 2017 |

I've seen discussions about how WAR has shat the bed somewhat, but where does DRK sit? My next class to 70 might be a tonk instead of another DPS, and greatswords are cooler than sword and shield

Thundarr posted:This is anecdotal, but in the last week I have run into a unusually high number of healers who are struggling to heal, even the ones who make no attempt to dps. I don't know if I'm just having bad luck with getting mediocre healers or if something else is going on. I'm not gonna jerk off and say I'm a good healer but I've raided and I know AST in and out. Something is wrong and I know it. I just can't speed run a warrior going ham anymore and it is deeply upsetting.

Shere posted:Why does it feel like flash was the most important thing Warrior lost? Yeah, that's pretty hilarious. The ideal solution to the missing Flash problem would be to give Overpower the area and animation of Devastation and then remove Inner Beast and the current Devastation entirely, and then just give Steel Cyclone and Fell Cleave different effects depending on stance, just like Equilibrium has different effects depending on stance. This would also mean you have your Deliverance finishers from 52 onwards instead of getting them parcelled out over 52-60, so it'll never happen.

I quit before PotD was implemented in ARR and have been leveling through the MSQ since coming back, so I haven't set foot in PotD yet. What do I need to do to get started with it? Like is there a quick way to make my aetherpool gear not suck, for example? I want to try leveling Machinist, it looks like a lot of fun and has lots of explosions and guns are cool.

We need a whole lot more parses than what we've gotten so far. (Remember how SMN was poo poo and then parses started coming out and they are at around the same overall power level as everyone else? How people were saying RDM was op as gently caress and they actually do a tiny bit worse on parses than the other casters? How MNK would never find spots now that SAM is a thing and then they are very close to each other in damage? Some people are actually saying that DRK does more damage than WAR and PLD for whatever its worth.

So, I saddled up to this for the first time on Friday when the expansion dropped. I've played the trial since then, hit 35 today with a dragoon and hit the stopping point for XP. What's the best way for buying the game and expansion(s)(HW...?)? I'm in the US if that matters. Also, I've noticed the DPS takes forever to DF queue thing at low levels. Should I shift over to a tank to grind out the MSQ? Any other things I should know?

Steam or a non-steam entity if you don't like the idea of having to buy every expansion via Steam. DPS will always have extremely long queues because there are a lot more of them than healers or tanks. If you want short queues either get a tank/healer friend to help you or play one of those roles.

Note that there's no advantage to owning the expansion until you hit level 50 so don't buy the expansion early unless it's a good deal.

Queue with the ranger that has 800 Genjis standing in front of him. No, you can't poopsock your aetherpool, and you don't want to in any case, because you're going to get a zillion charges of it without really trying all that hard.

Guess the right way to find out is go try it myself but god drat it I'm at work and it's a million degrees in here why won't this day end

I'm playing a MCH right now and it's cool as hell. I don't care about where it fits on the grand scheme of things but the class is fun. *Also I'm still getting the hang of things, figuring out a rotation and stuff still.

DPS has always had longer queue times but I think it's worse than usual right now because they added two new DPS classes in the latest expansion In case you've only played really old MMOs before, tanks and healers are both perfectly fine for running quests and doing damage to things.

I think if you've never played them before you'll find them fine. Most people Ive seen complaining are doing so because they are contrasting against HW DRK. Its less involved than what it used to before and MP recovery while on grit got loving devastated (but now you dont burn through MP for being in darkside) but outside of that its still good class.

I played it to 60 but haven't done much in a long time, since I was never a fan of the speedpulling tank DPS meta. Just made me nervous and uncomfortable (yes, yes, tanking is the easiest job, but still). But since things are somewhat locked down as far as that goes nowadays maybe I'll give it another shake after I'm done with RDM.

Hey!!! Guys!!! There are two big ol' trials post 70!!! Turns out they're pretty hard!!! They make you do things like 'run across a line' or 'avoid big orange circles', or even 'pick a thing up repeatedly' and 'run over here'!!! This is hard!!!!!

cheetah7071 posted:Dragoon has a move called Dragon Sight. It has a range of 6 yalms (double melee range or so), and targets a party member. For the duration of the buff, the Dragoon gets a 10% damage buff and the other DPS gets a 5% damage buff, but only if they stay within 6 yalms. There's a red tether between them if they're close enough, so it's visually obvious. aw heck I think I've broken that a bunch because I thought it was a boss mechanic

Since jump potions auto-complete all your job quests up to 60, you can't get the AF gear package that the 60 job quest now gives, right?

I believe the calamity salvager is tied to achievements so it should work with any gear that comes from a quest that grants an achievement.

Has anyone else noticed these allegories from the original first opening story: unexpectedly bad meteor weapon from the garleans :: atom bomb from america in ww2 primals summoned by beastly denizens of isolated eorzea :: hawk military leaders of japan who controlled the emperor and with whom many disagreed the Garleans attack because they want to destroy the primals :: the americans attack japan to stop them from conquering east asia because of these hawks, these primals This story written by Japanese people who are intelligent and surely very aware of their own history must have been either consciously or subconsciously affected by the events of history. Is this common knowledge? Am I wrong?
