Oxygen Deficiency posted:Fairy healing has a range like everything else. Eos won't be able to heal your ranged dps if they stay stuck in the corner of the room. Most of the time its not much of an issue since your fairy will stick to you by default and their range of healing matches yours. But by placing Eos near, say, where the boss is sitting, Eos will be able to focus on Embracing the MT while you can run around healing the dumb ranged dps or rezzing someone who is too far away. And it means you'll forget that you manually set the fairies position and by time you remember in the next room she will have despawned.

As a sch I'll be happy when I hit 57 so I don't have to be terrified of bardam's mettle anymore. I've taken to asking tanks to take it slow there at the start because jesus christ everything hits so hard. Final boss is really scary too, he does like 4 big aoe moves in a row while also slamming the tank. Could be just the players but drks are way harder to heal than the other two tanks for me. Paladins are easy mode, wars seem to shrug off everything, drks constantly ping pong between 25% and 80% and its gonna give me a heart attack.

The whole situation is phenomenally improved at 70 when we get The Blackest Knight, but before then we trade a potentially useful cooldown for Dark Mind (magic damage reduction is useless on trash and PLD does it better with Shelltron/Bulwark now anyway), and Shadow Wall is a worse, no-upside version of Sentinel.

I love tanking Susanoo on WAR because every attack of note that he has is physical so Raw Intuition works really well. I've seen more than one bad DRK get pancaked by his cleave because they don't know what mitigates what and they pop their magic cooldown. I hate tanking Lakshmi and Deltascape for the opposite reason, a lot of things deal magic damage. It's not more difficult for anyone, but being in Defiance ever is a bummer, as good a cooldown as Inner Beast is. I can juggle Vengeance and Rampart usually but sometimes I fall back on Inner Beast/Defiance. What I'm saying is, my end goal on Warrior is to spend as little time away from Fell Cleave as possible.

I'm actually really interested in more bosses like the first boss of ARF or the last boss of Ala Mhigo. Bosses that are our size rather than giant monsters are a nice change of pace.

Idk if this is a valid complaint, I've seen the thread argue this before I think, but I think having a difference between physical/magical mitigation is really pointless when a lot of attacks which should be magical are physical and vice versa. Turns it into a memorization wall, sorta like remembering gendered nouns while learning the german language. It's not intuitive and knowing it just results in you embarrassing yourself less.Rainuwastaken posted:
Ah ok I was thinking I just had an unlucky streak but I guess I'll just have to live with it until 70. DRK is my favorite tank if I had to play one so Ive been paying attention to them while they do their thing and watching them use defensive CDs and still have trouble, so it makes sense.

Dark mind is good for the orbs, and for ukehi, but generally doesn't make a big difference for the latter because group healing is dropping anyway. Still nice to use if you're MT.

Ukehi comes every ~65 seconds so you can have Dark Mind up for every one. I also usually Reprisal them. I don't use Dark Mind for the orbs because I drop Darkside for the mana regen during sword phase. I use Grit + Rampart for the orbs.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of it either. Was doing O2S the other night and figured I'd DA-Dark Mind for the tankbuster. It's called Evilsphere, the boss is basically a beholder, all of his attacks are wizard magic (except the earthquakes)....poo poo's gotta be magical, right? Nope!

It's an antiquated mechanic cut from the same cloth as elemental resistances. They seem to keep it around explicitly to keep Parry from being good, as best as I can figure. All of the good cooldowns in the game are flat damage resistance anyway, so maybe it's an avenue for them to create situational cooldowns, too. It's not adding much to the game as it stands, and unless they start clearly delineating what is physical or magical damage somehow, it will continue to stick out as contrived and maybe a bit stupid.

Especially considering that it doesn't even tell you what kind of damage it is. I used to use manawall/manaward to figure it out but now they're merged.

Rascyc posted:Most importantly it stops her from moving constantly if you're moving for something. Eos will prioritize moving over healing so you can drop a lot of healing accidentally if you are a bit schizophrenic with your movements. The fairy is immune to a lot of aoe damage but not everything so you can kind of abuse this with a lot of experience. Wouldn't this also apply to the Summoner's Pets? Would that solve the problem of Bahamut moving every 5 seconds?

In fact pre-4.0 I'd have issues with not being able to cast spur/rouse because i was too far from my pet. Bahamut though insists on being glued right on your rear end and will stop doing anything except making sure he was right next to you because he has separation anxiety or something.

I've got Odin because I went to fanfest and they ran out of lore books after a 4 hour wait in line, so I figured in for a penny in for a pound. On one hand it's embarrassing using the emote because it marks me as a massive nerd, but gently caress it's cool looking so I'm gonna do it constantly anyway.

Considering how much raw aether it takes to assemble Bahamut-egi, he would probably fade away if he strayed too far from you. Something about the connection having to remain incredibly strong just to sustain him for even a limited amount of time, while your standard egis are much easier to maintain. There, boom, bullshitted.

I finished the Summoner class story recently and it was actually disappointing. Your 70 skill is summoning demi-bahamut, but the story can't be arsed to make that a plot point. I mean, half of the 50 storyline is trying (and failing) to overcome the 3 egi limit. Nope, Bahamut doesn't have to follow the rules it seems.

Made it to the end of Floor 50 in the PotD last night. A teammate said that unlocks the option to start @ floor 50 going forward; is that true, and if so is it only for the class I got to 50 with (BLM)? Like, can I delete my Floor 30 Rogue and start a different class in that slot right at 50? Also I don't think I'm even to +30/+30 yet, should I go back through lower levels to grind up equipment a little bit more before venturing deeper?

brokenknee posted:Unironically, I'm kinda hype for who the gently caress is under the mask. And in before any loving Jojo reference. I'm guessing there are really only two people that get that kind of reaction. Regula or Gaius. They've been doing some perspective tricks with Elidibus, going back through old scenes. He's much taller than you would think, and his arms are quite a bit longer, but concealed under his robes and by a distinctive way he holds his arms up when standing. I'm fairly sure he's wearing someone Garlean. And considering that we never actually MET Elidibus until after the Praetorium.. I'm inclined to suspect that the return of the Black Wolf may be closer than we could've ever imagined.
