Can't imagine Blizzard/Square/ArenaNet are participating with their servers, maybe some people are ddosing the severs to make a point, as much sense as that doesn't make?

Unsure if this is just a levelling issue or what, but what's the deal with WHM mana management? I'm new to XIV's way of doing things, but I'm leery of contributing too heavily to dps, particularly on trash, because of how mana-heavy it feels. The healing isn't much of a problem, particularly combined with Lucid Dreaming for mana maintenance, but it feels like it would be super easy to overextend the Stone spam. (I just hit 50 and am wearing total garbage gear, FYI) As a followup, what's the basic healing strategy? Maintain Regen, fish for Cure 2 procs with Cure 1 unless the tank is getting poo poo on, in which case spam Cure 2? I'm having absolutely no issues healing right now, but I'd prefer not to get into bad habits if there's a Correct way to be doing this!

Shy posted:Fund a new game or burn money on hardware no one will need in two weeks after population stabilizes? Hmm, source your quotes. This is Nomura. That game isn't coming out for another decade at least, and it'd require a new director to get things off the ground. Obsolete hardware is a better investment. At least with continual funding of a decade long project won't raise their unrealistic expectations on western developed game sales.

I just finished 2.4 and uh Quest Spoilers for Old Stuff: Am I supposed to like Ishgard? gently caress Ishgard. All available evidence says gently caress Ishgard, so I'm guessing it's supposed to be an "enemy of my enemy" sort of deal. I'm interested to see when the other shoe finally drops. Iceheart and the imperial spy were more likable than any of them. Except Haurchefant, he's cool. Needless plot musings aside, Is there a way to macro class swapping to a button that I can put on a hotbar? It's not too tedious by default, but it would be handy to switch to Weaver quickly for the Provision quests.

^ sweet summer child...  check in with the thread after the 2.55 content (you'll get a long cutscene warning" and after the 57 dungeon Wilekat posted:Unsure if this is just a levelling issue or what, but what's the deal with WHM mana management?

It's a bit bad until you get assize, then mp regen is great until you get thin air after which mp is barely a concern unless you're chain rezzing or something.

(I just hit 50 and am wearing total garbage gear, FYI) That sounds about right? At 56 you get Assize which is 10% mana + damage + healing every 60 seconds, at 60 you get Tetragramation which is a strong heal on 60 sec cooldown with no cost or cast time, and at 62 you get Thin Air, which is 12 seconds of no mana costs. DPS spells don't hurt your mana too much unless you're spamming holy a lot, I've never had issues with going oom from doing damage fill, only from needing to heavy heal due to low gear or a lot of party damage. I'm not too keen on exactly how much mana lucid gives back but i usually pop it when I'm at 70-50% mana and it's usually back again before I'm starving for mana even in 50 content when I'm lacking those other tools. With good gear I'm rarely using cure 1 over cure 2 in 50/60 dungeons. If you got some spare poetic tomes you can go to Mor Dona and pick up some Iroworks Gear.

Countblanc posted:basically Umbral Hearts (and the attached GCD casting Blizzard IV) are only worth using on Fire IV, casting Fire I with them is a dps loss, and to reliably cast only Fire IV with Umbral you need to be Hard Turret Guy which is often unrealistic, and even if you can, the gain is incredibly marginal (~.2 potency per second) if you never mess up. From my experience, 4.0 rotation is for when swiftcast and/or triplecast are up, or for some of those dungeon bosses or phases where you can just turret up forever since ather manipulation has a far shorter cooldown than dangerous things. What I wonder is, how will these things scale when we're down to 2.3s gcd in the later patches. I had to fully meld i270 to get down to 2.4s GCD in HW, I'm already at 2.41s just by buying entry level vendor gear in SB. Another 0.15s off of each of those fire 4s would make a pretty big diff. Countblanc posted:my group solo healed O1 last night and it was cool. not really a particularly exciting accomplishment but we're hoping to do the others before Savage. having a Red Mage really lessens the burden though I solo healed o1 and 2 as sch super easily. O3 is also perfectly doable if everyone's playing with you nicely, and o4 is probably doable if people don't screw up.

Once you get Thin Air at 62 you can safely spam even holy as much as you want without running out. Stone barely even registers, at least in dungeons. Maybe if O4S is a sloggy, healing-intensive 15 minute enrage MP will matter there but it won't matter in anything else.

Yep, thin air pull 1, shroud of saints pull 2, go empty pull 3 (if there even is one), then it's boss and whatever stone and regen is cheap, hit thin air and shroud on cooldown and you'll be just about ready for the next pull when it dies.

They have every reason to be isolationist and fygm towards the other City-States. That said, no you're not really supposed to love them other than Haurchefant and Aymeric. They are still essential to the overall defense of Eorzea against Garlemald.

I mean, there's a bit of blame you can lay on a few dragons but largely Ishgard is run by and built on poo poo until you get to step in.

I'm not gonna lie the moment where the court is going WILL A CHAMPION STAND FOR THIS LALAFELL and you march right the gently caress in there, the greatest knights in Ishgard look at you like "who the gently caress's this rear end in a top hat", and you trounce the gently caress outta them while heroic music plays is probably the highlight of the entire first act of Heavensward for me. And at that point you've barely been out of the city, I think.

Bit of a learning curve to learn what mudras to use when, but that's better than a class that you can more-or-less learn within five minutes really.

Yeah. The problem is that the triple turn-in leves give 50% more xp then others of the same level, but the gain in XP from doing higher-level leves is much less than that (maybe like 5-10% more XP for a 62 leve than for a 60 leve, for example). So you still win by doing the triple turn-ins. Also most/all of the crafting classes have a triple turn-in leve that requires an intermediate material rather than a finished product (wood or thread or leather vs. a finished product), so not only does it give better XP it's actually significantly less work to make. Yes you get more XP for making all the intermediate mats in the process of crafting the finished product, but not nearly enough to make it worth it.
