I did a 50/60r with goons the other day and we got the bonus for first time completion. So you don't have to run through them any more.

Thundarr posted:The only atma FATE that is really hard to solo is Surprise! in Upper La Noscea, since you have to keep two NPCs alive and they stand pretty far from each other. If one goes down you get two waves of Overwhelm-using kobolds focusing on one npc and that tends to end badly. You also have to camp it since the NPCs will die almost immediately if you aren't there when it starts. The relic I'm working on is for WHM, it's bad because my WHM is only 50 (53 from all the dungeons and fates for the relic by now) so I can't unsync the level 50 dungeons. It's awesome because the solution to everything is either "more holy" or "aggro everything, use renew a lot".

I'm trying to get back into this dumb game again, but while I'm waiting for support to unfuck my account, is there anything in the new expansions for new characters, or can I just play the base game without missing anything?

Oh, OK! That's a lot of money saved, thanks! And hey, I just found my password again, so I can start unfucking my account myself! As soon as the idiot cool down for my many, many failed log-in attempts is over, that is.  Edit: Wait, gently caress! I still need my one-time password from my app. And my app wants a one-time password for registering, which it tells me I can get after logging into my account. Which I can't because I need a one-time password from my app to log in! What the hell, Square??! I guess I'm not playing FFXIV today after all. Hopefully support can sort this out, or at least delete my account so I can try again. Libluini fucked around with this message at 17:44 on Jul 17, 2017 |

My phone decided to just completely reset the software token app on a whim, and my emergency removal password wasn't working either. I went onto SE Support's live chat service and they had my account unshackled within five minutes. Everybody I've spoken to says that their customer support is total garbage but it's been a total dream every time I've needed it, so here's hoping it's easy for you?

Yeah my token on my phone decided to unregister itself. I have no idea why, my phone didn't update or anything and I'm sure the app itself didn't update. Had my emergency removal password written down though but uh.. turns out if you try to register it you get one, 60 minute long passcode every 24 hours. I removed the password during lunch but ended up being called to take a short lunch before I registered so now I gotta wait a day to get my free teleports to Kugane.

I dunno about you but I'm having an absolute blast playing Dark Speaking of DRK, what am I supposed to do with The Blackest Night beyond softening tankbusters? I hear it's a potency increase due to the blood it gives when it breaks, but I'm not sure how to use it. Do I drop the mana on TBN, then DA a Bloodspiller? Do I just use the Bloodspiller raw? Do I save my DA for Siphon/Souleater, and just always use unaugmented Bloodspiller? I love this class to pieces but basic match is beyond me.

as someone who mained a class that was colossally overpowered through all of 3.x: people who main an overpowered class then bleat that "the other classes should be brought up to this level" are actual retards. classes aren't just balanced against each other. the three points of the trinity are balanced against each other. and why the hell should square have to try to rebalance 2-4 classes instead of one to fix a problem? these are the same people who refused to touch sch's fundamental brokenness through the entirety of 3.X, as whm and ast futilely competed to be allowed into the second slot in the raid, with ast finally leaving whm's broken corpse in the street. just lop some amount of potency off of paladin and call it a day.

They already said they're gonna nerf holy spirit a bit (I heard conflicting reports of a potency reduction and a cast time increase) and some fairly beefy warrior buffs. The devs actually have a decent track record of listening to feedback and bringing underperforming jobs up instead of nerfing all the good jobs. I'm excited to see what they do, I was avoiding leveling DRK because it sounded like they had several skills that were undertuned as to be never used.

AST was fine in 3.3. reddit and the official forums whined about AST incessantly not because it was weak but because it was somewhat trickier to play at the same level and lingering stigma from 3.1 when it really was a dumpster job. so the devs listened to player feedback, and we got the monstrosity that was 3.4 AST. great job, guys. e: like i seem to remember yoshi-p literally going on record saying "yeah, balance is disgustingly overpowered now, but you wouldn't stop complaining about ast. we'll rebalance in 4.0. eat poo poo for the next six months, whm players"

things im predicting: - drk will get zero changes beyond potency buffs (and i'll feel bad for drks but have no horse in that race) - verraise will see either an mp cost increase or a 40/60s cooldown. i dont think this would be necessary since raising often just leads to enrage wipes rather than mechanic wipes but it's indisputable that rdms have more utility than the other casters and i dont see them buffing smn/blm utility. - whm's pleni-whatever skill is going to become significantly easier to use, but the sch buffs are going to cement ast/sch as the Preferred Comp

That's what I've been doing so I'm glad to hear it. Now I just need to get more comfortable dropping grit on the current EX Primals. Those tankbusters are kinda spooky and Grit being on the GCD is a travesty.

Yoshi said holy spirit is getting a longer cast time. Besides that, no other nerfs to PLD have been mentioned and instead war is getting reworked in a couple of ways and both war/drk are getting potency buffs. I still feel like drk needs another cooldown but i havent played with TBN much.

Maguoob posted:During downtime is when notes usually come out. Here is a quick rundown on tank changes: Here is an actual rundown on tank changes: PLD is cock of the walk right now because, in an expansion where a large number of the jobs have some missteps that need to be corrected as part of the combat redesign, PLD got a perfect setup right out of the box. They have a nice long-duration physical boost CD in Fight or Flight, which boosts the damage of an oGCD that gives them a temporary boost to magic damage under certain conditions, which prompts them to blow their MP on their new damaging spell. Then their optimal melee combo refreshes their MP in time for it all to happen again. PLD slips into it's optimal rotation very intuitively, with allowances made to swap in their hate combo when necessary. Their job gauge builds by itself through blocks and is used to fuel special defensive abilities. PLD is pretty much exactly where you want it to be. WAR and DRK, on the other hand, are not. WAR suffers far more then the other two tanks for the stance changing penalty to the job gauge because the job is built from the ground up to use that gauge far more than PLD or DRK do. Both jobs are currently suffering from potency issues with some abilities and general clunkiness to play; so there are hard reductions to DPS from potency and soft reductions to DPS because the player controlling them can't get the same performance out of the job as they could with a PLD. Holy Spirit is getting a bit of a nerf and if you want to debate that I mean there's room on each side, it's not like the spell was turning PLD into a quasi-dps in the same way Fell Cleave was transforming WAR in 3.0, it was just fun and useful and satisfying to pull off. It'll probably still be that on the other side. Nothing mechanically is expected to change with PLD, or PLD's rotation, and it should be just as fun going into Savage as it is right now. Meanwhile, WAR and DRK are both getting potency buffs to bring them up to PLD's level, and WAR specifically is getting more work done by removing the stance dance penalty (as well as a hilarious admission that, oh yeah, Shake it Off is entirely loving useless in a game where all the debuffs you care about are unremovable so this entire button needs to be redone). Frankly the fact that they easily identify what's pissing people off with the current jobs at 70 and more importantly are ok with making these changes now, before Savage, speaks well of the whole process here. I doubt everyone will be satisfied with all the changes tomorrow, but if there are still problems I've got enough faith in the dev team to see them fixed over time.

The only change it needs is to make it so you actually get procs. Eh, it's a bit hard to use too. Almost every major mechanic now shows up on your action bar except it which is back to tiny little buffs on the character bars, and if you have two white mages it's super hard to tell which one actually has the stacks. (Though that's a relatively minor issues.) It's not like complex or anything but it's really user-unfriendly compared to every other major gimmick mechanic right now.

Why? It costs 25% MP as is to use on a job that operates on a steady MP deficit and has only Lucid Dreaming for MP regen. Any time I've had to cast multiple veraises in a short period has left me gassed and nearly useless for a while. Especially since if I'm picking up a healer I'll usually Mana shift them to get them going faster (assuming it's off cool down).

Man I love the playstyle of sch but after maining smn through all of 3.x and changing to rdm it's amazing how nice it feels to not have to wrangle a pet. They're so finicky and unresponsive. I'm leveling ast and nocturnal stance is kinda similar in that it's kinda proactive but I really just wanna play sch without a fairy. Lustrate owns and now that you can avoid cleric stance altogether it's like a dream come true but hearing about the issues with fairies needing to move and canceling their 70 ability (and smn having the same issue with their demi-bahamut) just cements the bad taste in my mouth.

DRK mostly has two weird balance points right now: A) Dark Passenger, basically never worth using right now. Feel free to take it off your bars. B) Quietus is never worth Dak Artsing. With Quietus they need to either make the Dark Arts potency baseline or something, because that margin is never going to be worth blowing Dark Arts quantities of MP, or make the Dark Arts version way the gently caress stronger. They intimated they might be adding some kind of entirely new functionality to Quietus? IDK, we'll see what they have in mind.
