As a straight married male, on a serious note: the females of this game do not appeal to me. On the male side you have Haurchefant being flawless, Aymeric giving me an Aragorn level broner, Estinien literally giving me chills whenever he's on camera, Thancred being the kind I'd wanna get stupid drunk with and now Hien who I'm sure will grow on me.

For the girls I don't really feel it. Minfilia gives off a useless vibe, the queens are boring, Ysayle is bae but moody as hell, Lyse is helpless and Yugiri is ok I guess.

Also 60 second cooldown on shadowflare is poo poo and bad, but "juggling dots" wasn't really that much more engaging than spamming broil 2. You just threw them up, healed people, and kept an eye on the boss like you do now because of your 2 dots. Maybe it's just people realizing that scholar wasn't actually that engaging before or something?

I liked that SCH DPS in dungeons had a different rhythm to it than WHM and AST, if only to make the jobs feel different. Like with SCH you had a slower build up to put down all the dots down and shadowflare and then got really big dps once you hit Bane, where with WHM you run next to your targets and then dump all your MP with holy. Even in raids and boss fights it still felt different from the other two classes.

I don't think it would be a really big deal to get rid of juggling dots, but it's boring to make the SCH DPS play the same as the other 2 healing classes and I would rather have all the old dots back than that.

Also, I'm assuming the correct way to play Warrior in PvP is to Heavy as many people as possible and only go in for melee with a full combo ready?

Sometimes I didn't have my vrils refreshed during adds, I'm a healer so I didn't pay too much attention to their bubbles and whatnot, and near the end she casts something and it's unclear when to vril. Can't think of anything else.

Why would they nerf RDM? Though I think it'd be cool if they took some potency out of Jolt/Impact/Stone/Fire and added it to Thunder/Aero as well as the melee combo.
I've just never seen them parse badly and they seem very resilient to raid mechanics.

Maybe the current content is just really friendly to RDMs. They're champions in dungeons too though. Nothing seems to slow them down other than chain rezzing half your raid.

RDM is just really easy. I don't mean this as a pejorative, just that people are finding optimal rotations and able to pull them off much earlier than the other jobs. Wait a month and if RDM is still consistently performing that well relative to other jobs (assuming good players are playing both) then maybe there's something there, but I don't think existing numbers suggest RDM is overtuned.

Use third eye more and... IDK play SAM properly?

I had to use 2 potions but I did it first try.

Did you use role skills? bloodbath or whatever is pretty good for keeping your health up.

Minfilia is the worst but so far she's not even in SB (thank gently caress)

Lyse is cool. And the badguy lady who smokes the pipe is pretty cool.

Thancred is the most boring character I can think of in any FF so I don't know what you're talking about when it comes to the male characters. Aymeric was okay but boring as gently caress, Estinien was okay but boring as gently caress... they're all 1-dimensional.

You're talking about female characters and you forget the single coolest character in SB: Alisae :psyduck: Replacing Alphinaud's lovely lovely poo poo poo poo with her badassness is the best thing Stormblood did.
How can you say all the male characters are good and female ones are bad? He's literally the worst ever and she's the best.

gently caress I think I actually like Minfilia more than Alphinaud.

Merlwyb and Sylphie (from the Conjurer story) are the only female characters who have impressed me so far. Nanamo, Senna, and Minfilia all give me the distinct impression of being wise and beautiful and charismatic and will never do anything of note on camera, much less follow you into combat.

I wanted to throttle Sylphie at first, but by the time my character graduated from conjurer to white mage she'd managed to grow on me.

Right about this too. Smn took like weeks of playing with before I felt comfortable doing stuff without fear of buffs and dots falling off at the wrong time, and that was after playing sch for a couple months. Red Mage is always doing about 75% of its max by just not being asleep. I was instantly comfortable with it by 70 and the only optimizations are tricks like the corps/displacement before manafication thing, loving up dualcast/mana as little as possible, and using swiftcast to fish for procs every now and then.

Ah yeah, ARR can be a bit sparse because they were rushing to fix the disaster that was 1.0. Things get more interesting in HW and Ysayle is amzing. And then in SB I'm enjoying Lyse and Alisae a whole lot.

ARR was definitely my least favorite of XIV's story by a longshot.

poo poo, the first 30 levels story is mostly just doing busy work so the various' governments will even give you an audience. It doesn't really get cool until like, level 50.

Merylweb is definitely my favorite lady in ARR.

The best part of the expansion is the level 70 red mage quest telling you no less than three times about how much of a good idea it would be to pack a few antidotes.

Also not sure if it was answered, but re: Verflare/Verholy - if you even begin to cast a different spell when the procs are up, it won't let you cast flare/holy even if you interrupt your cast.

Yda's sum total so far as been "straight man to the potato mage guy." Amusing for what she is, but I'd hesitate to call her a character in her own right.

It still irrationally, slightly annoys me that I ended up picking the ez-mode class, but after doing Lakshmi EX four times yesterday and making critical saves with cure and raise on two of them, I can still say RDM is the best class, difficulty and parses be damned.

Oh, well then; yeah just try not to hit 100/100 I guess, any other solution seems like a waste of time/dps.

I switched to SAM because I enjoy melee classes a little more, but for real the ability to have a "save the group from wiping" button (two if you need to vercure) is extremely tempting to make me switch back.
