Minrad posted:Nin is good and rides a frog Sold. Time to botch some mudras! I rouletted into Wanderer's Palace Hard and didn't die or get out-DPS'd by the honest healer, so that's a decent start I guess. As an aside, I went with an Au Ra girl, and the animations for ROG look a million times better than they did on my Elezen character.

I get the impression that Direct Hit is going to wind up being the Good Stat for Samurai, while Monk still wants maximum Crit (due to how Chakras work now). Which leaves me torn for how I should be melding my striking gear moving towards savage coming out in a week or two. Has anybody compiled reliable stat weights by job yet or is that still ongoing?

SonicRulez posted:There's a 13 FATE chain in the Steppe? What the gently caress. It takes about an hour and a half to do since there are three 20 minute breaks interspersed in there. Fail any fate in the chain and reset to one. Most of the fates require to you to keep NPCs alive too. So not soloable. Pretty cool fate chain about a group of horse-riding fantasy-Mongolians and their battles against the elephant men. Toward the end of the chain, we had a good 20 people out there working on it and thus about 300 enemies spawning at once.

Is there a massive cheevo at the end or is it just for the satisfaction? I mean I must do it either way, but that sounds insane.

Did they nerf the mandatory HW dungeons? I just healed Sohr Khai on level 50/60 roulette and regen was enough to keep the tank up. We also killed the first boss before the second wave of moogles spawned.

Started brand new after playing way back when 2.0 and need some levelling advice. I'm currently going WHM, planning to swap to AST when the game lets me, but I am really far ahead of the levelling curve and am not sure what to do. I've just entered Coerthas and I'm level 46, and from what I remember I've got ages to go until the end of the ARR storyline (and I never did the pre-HW story, so god knows how long that is). Do I just keep dumping exp into WHM, or should I take this opportunity to use some of the humongous MSQ experience to level some other things? This Road to 60 buff is bonkers.

Wilekat posted:Started brand new after playing way back when 2.0 and need some levelling advice. I'm almost out of ARR content (decided to not do the last 2.x quest at 1:30am for some reason), and was probably a few levels under you for the Snowland Funtimes. The XP curve flattens to almost nothing at 50 (5000xp per quest, level 51 is 1.something million xp), and there's a gap between the level 46 and 49 MSQ of the original 2.0 content. I started 2.x at 51 and I'm barely going to be 55 before going into HW. Do as much as the MSQ as you can and level a second job if you want to break up the monotony of MSQ only, but the XP buffs will still be around as well as hunting and challenge log stuff so vOv.

I'd also forgotten about that 46-49 MSQ gap and am suddenly remembering running up and down this place doing FATEs for hours upon hours.

EDIT Just hit 60 on my ast last night and was level 35 four days ago. Would have gone faster but I took long breaks to watch futurama and bitch about bad tanks.

Minrad posted:rip the "good old days" of aoe farming the start of dzemael dorkhold I think they should do something akin to WoW where at level 70 you can blow some of your scrip/whatever on hq leveling gear that would auto update stats based off of your level and provide additional exp bonuses.

Do you guys know how to start the Namazu quests in Yanxia? I see other playing going in and out of their house all the time. I'm Lvl 68 in the MSQ and have heard of this Kurobana vs Gyorin quest, but I'm not seeing it anywhere. Namazu are just so loving cute!

Every single time I've gone there in the past few days and try to do a fate I find that its scaled immensely with no one doing it, a minute later this wave of like 20 people fly down and start murdering everything before moving on to the next fate that pops up.

Is there any place to spend Verity tomestones before you get to the end of the Stormblood MSQ? I've been taking the quests slow and doing my daily roulettes, so I've maxed out on them just after finishing Bardam's Mettle.

It almost feels like no game dev should be hardcoding anything with how much games can change. No dev of anything should hardcode anything because it's bad no matter what the application is

We also killed the first boss before the second wave of moogles spawned. It's not that it's nerfed, it's that you're stronger. They removed all item level sync from the HW dungeons so no matter which one you go to you're synced to i270 or whatever the highest in Heavensward was.

Loving SAM so far but I have to ask: What's the point of Hissatsu: Seigan. It seems very tough to time with Third Eye, only does 200 potency and takes away Kenki. I feel like I have enough Kenki dumps that trying to time that into a rotation seems hamfisted. http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/jobguide/samurai/

Oxygen Deficiency posted:I still miss North Thanalan FATE farming. I remember hitting the aforementioned MSQ lull and was directed to Northern Thanalan FATEs. It felt like I was playing vanilla WoW all over again, in the worst way. IMO Fates need to have their base xp tripled or some poo poo. Even if they work out to decent xp/hour, they feel like such an incredible slog to see your bar only tick up a small amount upon completion. I was doing some fate grinding in the mid 50s on my RDM while the instance servers were going batty at SB launch and just remember the feeling of "oh man, only like, 50 more fates to level!" I'm not really crazy about how they scale to population either, because it feels really bad at high population and just as bad soloing, there's just small sweet spot where with a handful of players they go at a decent pace.

You aren't missing any secret that will make it make sense. It's easy to time when I'm soloing or face tanking something but in instances, short of having a cast bar for an unavoidable AoE skill, the damage can be hard to predict (until I memorize fights I suppose). I also sometimes feel like Eyes Open doesn't trigger on certain damage types. To me it appears it only triggers on a direct hit from a mob. If it's something like a damage aura nothing happens.
