I want to know what percentage of the real short quest in Rhalgar's (lvl69) was made directly to let people have a decent NieR: Automata cosplay blindfold.

Yeah, whatever you do, don't actually buy Garo gear with MGP until the PVP vendor is removed. It's dreadfully priced and getting the marks for it currently is a matter of a hour or two at most effort. If by effort you count standing around taking pot shots at people

Also the MGP replicas can't be dyed. Which limits your options a good deal. Especially since most of the gear looks significantly better once it's dyed.

If there's anything more important than my ego around, I want it caught and shot now.
I just got this jacket in a dungeon and I couldn't help myself but make the ultimate Naruto cosplay outfit out of it

Only wish it was dyeable so I could make it green.

Third night of 1% wipes to Susano chasing my first clear as the ilvl requirements in PF grow higher and higher. (Two of those groups were with goons, y'all are great, I just think I can perform better.) I have tank questions because I'm insecure like that.

* Is there a trick to positioning him as a tank that makes him easier? Right now, I'm sidling him up parallel as close to the centerline to make jumping back and forth easier.
* Since tank angle doesn't determine the thin strip of safe zone, should I be angled off one way or the other instead?
* Does the tank move with others when someone gets stun + marked, or do they pop cooldowns and tough it out?
* Is Reprisal worth taking for Ukehi? I have seen PLDs Passage-of-Arms it and I want to help the same way. My actions are presently Shirk, Provoke, Convalescence, Rampart, ???.

I'm torn between finishing Stormblood MSQ, leveling my crafters and gatherers to 70, getting all the garo titles before the priest is taken out of the game, and actually having a life outside of FF14.

If you keep getting 1% wipes on Susano then that usually means your DPS is dying too much. Have them ensure that they know what to do about : 1) Churning dice, 2) Storm Cloud placement 3) Stone Gaols breaking. If they're nailing all these mechanics then start looking at rotations. The above assumes they're handling Levinbolts / Jumps properly.

SwissArmyDruid posted:

Don't angle him exactly northwards or it causes issues with thunderclouds. When I tank I orient him so roughly 50% of his butt is in the HFIL and the other 50% of the rear is accessible to my melee.

Reprisal is very good and is part of my standard loadout combined with the four other actions you name here.

Finish MSQ. That's not even a question.

If you have to take a stun, which thing do you drop?

Ukehi and Stormsplitter both happen at one minute intervals. If both tanks have Reprisal, you can have it applied for both moves, and you can even use the cooldown timer to tell you when the next one is coming.

Either Convalescence or just let the DPS (or PLD) handle any necessary stunning. Bosses that can be stunned in high end content are incredibly rare, though, so it's not going to come up very often.

Yeah PVP right now is genuinely fast paced and fun. It's probably the most entertaining PVP mode in a live MMO right now, and it's easily the best single improvement in Stormblood.

(The best PVP mode in an MMO ever was Warhammer Online in the 1-10 bracket though.)

These WHM quests in SB are so bad. Go to the bottom of the fringes to pick up quest, go to Castrum Orriens, go back to where you started, go back to Orriens.

As far as I know the clouds come out at random positions and he turns regardless of how you're holding him so I don't this will do anything except make you vulnerable to the churn+line combo

appearance change, name change and server transfer are three separate products (each costs money)
edit: oh wait, server transfer should include a free name change

If and only if someone is already on that server having that name.

The solution to that, obviously, is to ask a friend to roll a character with that name first.
