Space Bat posted:On the topic of tanking can someone give me an explanation of the new meta in Sastasha where a tank in ironworks/shire gear will pull every mob in the entire dungeon? It seems next level and almost certainly above my perception, seeing as this has happened three times in a row. Grabbing everything at once in the push before the final boss can hurt a bit if the healer isn't ready for it, but nothing else in Sastasha is really dangerous enough to be worried about. That said, if you wind up with two melee DPS in your party, you may as well single pull because it'll take them forever to burn down giant pulls with no AoE available (even if they are inclined to use it).

I kinda wish there were separate aggro icons for "you have a decent threat lead" versus "you have a tenuous threat lead". How do better tanks keep track of this? Do I just need to get used to reading the A/2/3/4/etc markers at a glance? Is there any way that doesn't involve just cycling through every mob? Remembering your ABCs, Always Be In general this is something you just start to develop instinctively the more dungeons you run. After a certain point you know if you pull a pack in a dungeon and overpower X amount of times you'll have hate locked down to a degree that the pack will be dead before someone pulls. Even then, do not freak out over losing control of a mob periodically - this is what provoke and tomahawk are for.

nuru posted:Nothing in Sastasha does much damage and everyone is sick of Sastasha. I just wish when I was leveling my WHM I didn't have to stand around an extra five minutes casting cure 1 over and over because the tank needed to pull every pirate before the boss. Basically, make everyone synch to 30 in LDRs for any dungeon below 30.

This level of micromanagement will only lead to you frothing at the mouth about how you absolutely hate being a tank. The basic idea is that once you've either spammed your OP until empty or you've smacked that boss in the face with Butcher's Block, you're free to do whatever the hell you want to in the name of M A X D E E P S. I do feel there is -some- merit to the idea of "you are about to lose the lead" notices because honestly when I'm on the boss fights I'm not in tank stance most of the goddamn time, and I'm looking at when I can drop my next M A X D E E P move. Or perhaps I just need to  it's entirely possible

Augus posted:I don't get why some ranged/casters are seemingly allergic to standing close to the boss even when that's blatantly what the boss mechanics demand and people have said repeatedly to "stack behind the boss". Because if they're a caster they can start attacking earlier if they don't waste time walking up the boss. It's just a matter of minimizing movement, and sort of the obvious thing to do. Obviously a lot of bosses punish this heavily.

Why did no one tell me that the Magitek Armor plays Terra's theme if you've got mount music enabled  It's awkwardly sped up but god drat what a nostalgia trip.That makes me wonder, are there other mounts with special music? If so, what's everyone's favorite?and how do I get those mounts

Your Computer posted:Why did no one tell me that the Magitek Armor plays Terra's theme if you've got mount music enabled All the mounts that drop from Extreme Primals play their respective theme music. The only other one I know of is the Witch's Broom from one year's halloween event(now the cash shop) which plays the event's music.

I still the arridhaeus should play Rise and that twintania should play thunderer. Otherwise I'm pretty good with all the mounts' music.

Nero's and Livia's armors from the cash shop play Steel Reason instead, though. Likewise, the fat moogle plays Moggle Mog. Kirin and Firebird play variations on the FF title screen theme. Sadly, the easter egg does not play Pa-paya, and Ixion has nothing special at all.  I really wish every mount had a unique theme.

IIRC Sleipnir plays Odin's theme (I have not shelled out for one). The greatest tragedy is that the Flying Cumulus does not play Rock the Dragon.

I'm ok with tanks doing a brief little stop at the door to make sure nobody has afk'd outside of the line or anything. I am not ok with tanks doing that little stop and then not doing anything to signify pulling. If you're gonna hesitate, at least give me a second to Huton -> Hide. It takes like 2 seconds and we're already stopping the momentum. I'm a big fan of Leviathan and Bismarck as far as primal mount music goes.

Should I queue for Sunken Temple of Qarn and Cutter's Cry? I was wondering, since they're optional, they wouldn't get much play in the leveling roulette, especially since Qarn looks REALLY punishing for new players from the video I watched.

People will queue for them for leveling roulette and they're not that hard. The biggest thing about Qarn is to clear doom by standing on the tiles.

But yeah, Qarn and CC should just be run at level like any other dungeon, unless you are riding the PotD train exclusively (but don't do that to yourself).

Can someone please provide me with the following: 1. What my (non-customised, standard 1-10 with Ctrl and Shift) hotbar as a Warrior should look like at the level 54ish range? Level 70 will probably do and I'll just leave what I don't have blank. Turns out pushing all these buttons can get pretty complex and I was kind of shooting myself in the foot when I did my first proper level 50 content like Ultima trial when I'd forgotten to set Infuriate and Storm's Eye and put them in sensible places. 2. A link to an extremely basic for-babbies guide to macroing and how it works. Presumably a guide that starts from "here's where you open the menu to start creating a macro". At the least I'd like to be able to make macros for Shirk and some other stuff.

bewilderment posted:Can someone please provide me with the following: 1) Keybinds are going to be person specific but I think unless you have mutant hands putting anything on 6 through 0 is madness. Your combo can fit 1-6 (or ` through 5, whatever) and the rest just place based on how often you need to hit them. 2) Step 1 honestly is not to use macros for battle classes. Shirk is not too bad though, assuming you're the OT: /micon "Shirk" /macrolock /merror off /ac "Shirk" <tt> /ac "Shirk" <t> /merror on This will use Shirk on the mob's target.
