Normal battle music was annoying, pretty much the only tracks that jumped out at me were Lochs, Azim daytime, Second to last story dungeon, and last story trial.

The overworld music is mostly forgettable (especially the battle theme), but most instance stuff is really good.

And I'll eat my hat if Yojimbo doesn't show up again in some other dungeon. Personally I'm hoping he'll make an appearance in 4.0's inevitable Hildebrand questline.

Man RDM is so good and cool. Had my first goes at Emanation Extreme tonight, got a good four clears in. Being able to be a caster while a) being mobile and b) not having a pet rules so much.

I did it, lads. Level 70 at last. I assume I'm almost at the end of the MSQ. Then it's off to the EX primals, preparation for actually being in a raid static (hopefully), and the true challenge. Learning to take a good screenshot.

Based on the lack of comment, I'm guessing that Primal didn't have broken duty waits like Aether did tonight? Tanks were getting 25 minute queues, pre-formed groups still took 5-10 minutes to reserve, and god help you if you solo queued for anything as a DPS. On the other hand it was a good excuse to powerlevel a miner almost all the way to 70.

Aether was fine for me on Cactuar fwiw. I won't accept people poo poo talking Shisui because it has the best healer gear in the game flat out.

I spent all of early access leveling my WHM from 50, and finally hit 60 last night. I haven't gotten to do any SB content yet, but holy crab an I having fun with WHM. There is nothing more exhilirating than keeping an 8-man ex primal fight alive after other healer fell off edge. These were all bad pubbies too. I was using voice commands, my mouse, and my toothbrush-keyboard-typing all at once and it was intense. But six commendations was worth it.

While I do miss some of the smoothness of stance dancing of WAR and not ending up with weird values of gauge/wrath, getting Rampart and using Inner Beast as a defensive CD gives WAR some great uptime on defensives. You can do the two 90s CDs (Rampart/Raw Intuition) and Inner Beast after each, then two of the 120s ones (Vengeance, Conva), Inner Beast after each, and then Rampart/Raw Intuition are back up. That's a solid chunk of just all around mitigation (at least against physical with Raw Intuition). And even if you omit the Inner Beasts, there's only 15 seconds of downtime in between rotating two 90s and the 120s CDs. If things actually hit hard enough to warrant using Inner Beast instead of Inner Release/Deliverance, you can get some insane uptime on Inner Beast too with Infuriate's CD reduction. I am hoping that the developers realize tanks are going to want to equip the i270 Slaying gear to get max damage so they've tuned the Omega raid to just murder tanks who aren't taking the extra ~500 points of vitality from tank accessories. It probably won't happen, but it's nice to dream.

Man, Lakshmi extreme is easy. Joined a clear party in PF, had at least 5 people that hadn't beaten it, we one shot it with maybe two deaths? Susano Ex at least was difficult (as in we wiped a few times learning the timing of his tankbuster etc) when I did it the first week, but maybe that was the i290 average group talking. Pretty good difficulty over all for intro extremes though. I guess they wanted to keep it easy since they're introducing fight specific hotbar actions now, like uh, Ultraxion back in Cataclysm.

WHM feels REALLY good at 70. Was dicking around in Emanation EX and I felt like I had an answer to basically every situation. Granted, the 70 ability seems entirely useless and I don't remember stacking confessions...ever. But other than that it was great. Still not sure which abilities are her tank busters though. I will say, DPS is nice, but nothing beats the feeling of timing a Medica perfectly and watching health ping pong back up to full after an aoe. Also what Role actions are people usually taking? I'm still on the fence about a few of them.

Except rescue which is pretty cool but probably pointless outside of coordinated groups Shy fucked around with this message at 11:51 on Jun 26, 2017 |

End of Stormblood non-plot spoiler: The reveal that the anthem you hear at the start isn't the Garlean national anthem but the anthem of Garlean Ala Mhigo was real cool. I thought the Rhalgr's Reach theme being a softer version of the anthem was foreshadowing the attack, but the fact that it turned out to be both foreshadowing and a call-forward to the national anthem of Ala Mhigo was a neat bit of world-building.

Shy posted:whm? mine are protect, lucid dreaming, swiftcast, esuna and largesse. Largesse, Swiftcast, Lucid Dreaming and Eye for an Eye are the good ones. Protect you can usually swap in for one cast, maybe leave it on one healer in 8-mans. Esuna, Surecast, and Break are all sometimes relevant. Rescue is good if you can think of a specific use for it. Cleric Stance is fine if you don't need anything else. I just leave everything on my bars and turn stuff on/off in the menu.
