Harrow posted:Kind of torn between leveling PLD and DRK when I get around to leveling a tank. I think I like the overall aesthetics of PLD better, but I know DRK has some really cool job quests. To be honest PLD quests are really not great. 1-30 is dealing with a jilted woman, 30-50 is searching for an unremarkable missing mentor, 50-60 is training some schlub nobody, 60-70 is going into a tournament where you're guaranteed to win because you're the freaking Warrior of Light, man. At no point did I ever do anything that actually made me feel like a Paladin.

I also only bothered to unlock the Gold Saucer in the last week before Stormblood. I really regret doing it because now my chat is constantly spammed with messages about where I can or can't play Triple Triad.

SKULL.GIF posted:This would help MCH's damage but it wouldn't help their basic gameplay at all. Putting everything in 10 out of 60 seconds then doing the vanilla // Heated attacks for the next 50 seconds isn't that thrilling. They need something to mix things up more. I dunno, I've rather enjoyed leveling MCH from 60 to 66, and don't enjoy BRD very much at all at least at 60. vv Hoping like hell the numbers get a good look in 4.05, though. I know the game's not balanced for levels below cap, but when my 60 BRD can keep up in terms of dummy DPS (to the tune of 5% difference) with a 66 MCH, that says something to me

Man, you can really confuse the game with the saved character appearance .dats. I just made it change species in the creator (it reverts to default appearance). Weird and not useful in any way, but cool to see how it works. I'm also joining the "how did SE miss this" crowd, although I haven't found the color values yet. I wonder how they're planning on fixing it.

The very first Samurai quest puts you in the coliseum right away. You have to wait like 63 levels as a Gladiator before you can do that poo poo.

Yellow Gatherer Scrip tip - With all HQ ilvl 290 crafted gear (unmelded) plus the Gameni food from Kugane puts you at 702 GP and 1007 gathering/989 perception. This rotation plus the "Discerning Eye + Impulsive Appraisal II / Discerning Eye + Impulsive Appraisal II / Discerning Eye + Methodical Appraisal" is enough to get 470 on all gathering nodes, including Legendary. With enough GP to hit Sharp Vision II and push gathering chance to 98%. EDIT: If you're diligent with this rotation and hit a new node every 6 minutes, you can pull in about 800 scrips per Eorzean day. (About an hour) This means that to get all 3 gatherer tools, it will require roughly 5 hours of gathering scrips. Mordiceius fucked around with this message at 08:12 on Jul 9, 2017 |

Brainamp posted:It's basically sitting in the same place as it was in HW, only with even less to do. The new skills aren't really interesting. This is just wrong. MNK lost like, what, Touch of Death and Fracture if you were one of the crazies that used Fracture. Oh and Haymaker, which is a skill I had to look up to even remember it existed because it was so unused besides in solo content. In exchange they get to have a big fun burst phase where you pop off a large number of Forbidden Chakras, get to use more Forbidden Chakras in general and get to keep GL during certain mechanics due to Riddle of Earth. Like, I do wish they had gotten at least ONE new punch, but the difference in how fun MNK is in 4.0 than 3.0 is staggering. Now you actually have something your cooldowns are building up to, rather just sitting in the same rotation forever. You might not like it how it is now, but it's just wrong to say they have less to do than they did in HW. Keeping up 1-2 more DoTs isn't nearly as fun as slamming a bunch of forbidden chakras, in my opinion anyways. They also have pretty decent numbers. They're no SAM, but they're no slouches either.

That would make sense yeah. It doesn't seem like you can do too much that's a) permanent and b) visible to other players, and none of it affects game play. I think I've stopped rising to the occasion as of tonight unrelatedly, PF Susanex is a total slog. Yesterday and today I ran into like three groups where they lied about something or another before queueing (if someone hadn't cleared, farm when they actually were looking for a clear carry, etc). Been leveling DoL classes, are there any particular mats that sell well so far? I noticed fish sell for basically nothing. Koppranickel mats fly off the shelves, but not for mind blowing numbers.

queeb posted:it's 10% difference on a dummy, so probably even closer in a real fight In a real fight you'd probably come out ahead because I'm sure having to cut fire phase short all the time because you don't have enough time left to refresh it comfortably. I'm a bad blm and do like 2200 dps on susanoo because I constantly had to use blizz 3 prematurely since casting fire 1 would take too long, and I remember thinking to myself I should probably just switch to lv50 rotation, turns out it's true.

please knock Mom! posted:Undercutting by a lot is just cutting your own profits but it's a thing that happens and you should just be aware of. Don't put all your eggs in one basket A lot of the problems with the current market would be solved by letting people post a buy side order (or a bid). It would mean people looking to dump would have something to unload to, and it would make for a tidier market with less ping pong spins

A system like BDOs reserving where a buy order is placed with an X amount of Gil put as collateral. The moment the item goes into the market the highest reserve collateral wins and the item is sold to that person. The person that sold the item only gets what he put the item up for, everything else is lost into the ether. By eliminating the "I want to sell this quick" mentality, because items will sell instantly either way, people are compelled to maximize their potential profits.
