So, for buying Stormblood, if I have the Steam version of the base game(but don't use Steam to launch it, just go through the desktop launcher), I've still got to match that with the Steam version of the DLC, right?

Yep, if you're on steam then that's where you have to buy everything from now on.

A 50S RAYGUN posted:how good is brd utility? i'm debating leveling it vs drg and i'd rather go with whichever helps out raids more. BRD is the closest thing you're gonna get to a straight up support class that isn't a healer. All of the physical ranged DPS role abilities are basically there for support but combining those with BRD's new abilities and class mechanics and you have a job that everybody will love to have around due to having extra regen. I don't know how much support Drg actually has other than the eye ability that increases damage, but i'm sure it's better than Brds Foe Requiem for simple fact that it sticks around a lot longer. Like seriously, Foe's is like 3% increased damage for maybe 6-7 seconds overall? Kinda nuts on the MP drain for that ability.

Today, I LLDRed into Toto-Rak. Normally, this would be a bummer, but I looked up to notice I had three friends with no job stones. A quick glance at their gear showed me each one of them was new, new, new. All of them about the level for the dungeon, all of them in a smattering of white and pink leveling gear. The tank stopped to read every poster and we took a wrong turn at one point, clearing a whole hallway of mobs I didn't even know existed.  My only complaint is that they never spoke. None of them said a word, despite attempts to engage, so we just silently completed the dungeon after wiping twice on the final boss. I switched diversion for drain and managed to help win the day with erase, and mana shift. Drain allowed me to stay alive, while the other two let me clear poisons on the healer and feed her MP. No comms, but I told them to enjoy the game and left. Also, it let me hit level 60 on RDM, so now my glamour is nearly complete!  I like the Sabotender rapier, but I'm thinking the ultimate in luxury would be the upgraded Shiva weapon, so I'll have to try for that soon.

You could meld strength onto right side jewelry, but not left side armor.

You don't have to worry about this much for leveling purposes.

Just had 2 runs like that, constantly losing aggro to either me (scholar) or one of the DPSes. I wasn't even overhealing, just keeping them at around 70%

It sounds like you just had a run of really bad tanks. Though I've noticed that aggro is a much more iffy prospect these days unless you're packing strength rightside, it can actually be a bit of a risky proposition to spend a boss fight outside of the tank stance for the vast majority of the fight due to the reduced damage.

I've definitely noticed tanks having problems holding aggro off me as a BLM. They've also all been WARs. I have no clue if that's a coincidence.

It's become a lot easier to rip threat off a lot of pubbie tanks. Find myself having to use shadewalker whenever it's up during most trash and some bosses.

i don't know if it's really gameplay changes, because the limited content i've tanked i haven't had a whole lot of issues with aggro as long as i'm mildly aware of what i'm doing. it's super strange.

Meanwhile in Bardam's Mettle I've had a string of DRK's that don't use Abyssal Drain. Like, at all. Only one of them held AoE threat decently. EponymousMrYar fucked around with this message at 06:15 on Jul 3, 2017 |

Futzed around with a bunch of DPS jobs to complement my Paladin after I got him maxed out. Machinist feels like poo poo with the new Heat mechanic (especially with overheating being a dps loss and with literally everything revolving around Wildfire leaving you to do jack poo poo except 123 and Gauss Round I guess for 50 out of 60 seconds), Red Mage is too basic, Samurai was too linear, then I discovered Bard. Holy poo poo this job is actually fun and leaves me with plenty of buttons to press each GCD, and the Songs change what I'm focused on every 30 seconds, and the support abilities and role actions mesh great with my penchant for healing/defense which is why I picked up PLD in the first place. I especially like how the basic gameplay loop is a really basic underlying chord (get the two DOTs up, Heavy Shot) with occasional flourishes and riffs (Songs, oGCDs). Feels very music-like. A+ design.

WARs have to actually pay attention to the enmity list now. I know I've definitely lost aggro a couple of times because I'm used to using Butchers Block every other combo and making enmity a complete non issue.

Brainamp posted:It's become a lot easier to rip threat off a lot of pubbie tanks. Find myself having to use shadewalker whenever it's up during most trash and some bosses. Yep. It's like I can't use it enough. And what sucks is Smokescreen doesn't usually have the same benefit, because I'm usually the one ripping the hate. Occasionally a RDM will get antsy. But if Shadewalker is on cooldown and the tank can't grab aggro, I'm not even sure what to do. Between mudras, the frog, and Death Blossom, NINs can pump out quite a bit of AoE.

Emnity seems a bit harder than I was used to (probably the loss of vit dps), now with level 66 tanks. What I am noticing as a healer is a string of tanks that multi pull and then don't pop cooldowns, or pop convalescence or awareness and expect them to matter one poo poo.

I'm pretty sure Convalescence is one of the better cooldowns, since from a 'incoming heals - incoming damage' perspective it basically takes 17% off incoming damage. So it's slightly weaker than Rampart.

As a tank, Convalescence is what I pop after "Oh poo poo I just took a lot of damage" Everything else is what I pop before "Oh poo poo I'm about to take a lot of damage" nuru posted:What level was your MCH? The Heat mechanic makes no sense until 64, more or less. 62. Does it really get better once you get Barrel Stabilizer? I don't see that it really solves the "Everything revolves around Wildfire" / "Overheating is a DPS loss" problem, especially with the cooldown it has.
