i know nothing about macros but it's probably just something like draw-30 seconds of filler-se1 or something i don't know alternatively you could just stop forgetting about literally your job's key component

People who level through potd. Never intend on playing astro myself, still coached a first timer on how to astro after a whole floor of him just spamming benefic.

If you have a free trial account, can you still participate in the Recruit A Friend campaign and get some gold chocobo feathers?

Seeking advice on the 70 BLM opener/rotation question. I'm seeing some videos/OF posts/reddit posts/etc.... where the BLM's are using Leylines during Umbral opener (ex: B3>Enochian>T3>Leylines>B4>F3), and then using Triple Cast & Swiftcast for the opening Fire IV's, but isn't using Triple/Swiftcast during Leylines sort of... anti-synergy? Sure, you're lowering the recast time regardless, but you're missing out on 4 GCD's worth of lowered cast times, no? Wouldn't it be better to use Triple/Swiftcast, and then Leylines afterwards? Then there is the question about Thundercloud usage. I've seen some people who throw them out immediately after getting the proc, while others only use them during the Umbral phases. I've also heard things like Blizzard 4 isn't worth casting and is a loss in some instances and uhhh..  Basically does anyone have a link to some solid reputable resources for BLM at 70, or care to share your personal findings? I'm getting some conflicting reports, and nearing 70 and would really like some clarity.

I believe you do not get the rewards from recruit a friend until you actually pay for a month of subscription (thus excluding even the free month packaged with the game). I'm not 100% sure of that, but I'm pretty sure free trials don't count at least, because both parties gain rewards--the recruiter and the recruitee.

I'm not sure if it's changed, but from what I remember, in HW if Thunder had under 17s left then a T3 Thundercloud was more potent than a Fire 4.

Skaw posted:Try the Ureaus Skirt. It's still short, but longer than say, the cashmere skirt and the skirts used by crafting sets. The game definitely needs more knee-length skirts though. Whatever limitatioms be damned, there's already clipping with some equipment combos. Glamour can be built around that. This actually works perfectly! A shame i'm not sure how to get a screenshot from the PS4 other than just possibly uploading it somewhere else. Does the Gpose camera allow you to take pictures too or are you suppose to do that somehow else? Definitely isn't a button on the controller.

Plug a flash drive/HDD in, go to Gallery, hit Options on the image you want, then Copy to USB and you can select however many you want. Gpose doesn't have it's own screenshot button, just turn off the UI with L1+Options then use the Share button.

i'm not the best ast in the world obviously, but i used noct ast for the larger shields while progressing exdeath (before we got a few weapons and a couple hundred more hp on everyone) and i definitely did not have to bandwidth to draw cards optimally during that shitshow

The name's the easiest way to tell. Guys have names like XY ZY (Alka Zolka, Surito Carito, etc), gals have names like XY Y (Tataru Taru, Momodi Modi, etc). He also has a huge, obvious crush on one of the lady tonberries, and it's adorable.

Happy Blue Cow posted:Seeking advice on the 70 BLM opener/rotation question. It is anti-synergy, and I think a lot of it is old habits. The opener I use is as follows: B3->Enochian->T3->B4->F3->Triplecast->F4->F4->Sharpcast->F4->Leylines->F1->F4->F4->F4->Firestarter->Convert->F4->F4->B3 For thunderclouds, you want to cook the proc as long as you can, without actually losing the proc. In umbral phases, your priority is to cast foul if and only if you have it up, and to refresh your thundercloud. It's not worth hardcasting thundercloud if you JUST refreshed it with a proc before entering UI, and if foul isn't ready then you might not have full MP after just casting thunder, so in those situations you want to buy time by casting blizzard 4. You also want to cast blizzard 4 every time convert and sharpcast are up and you are planning on doing an 8 fire-4 rotation, as without it the way MP ticks work, its quite possible the convert will still only give you one extra fire4 cast (or rather, itll give you two, but the second wont leave you with enough MP for blizzard 3). You'll wind up casting blizzard 4 only, like, 2-4 times per fight. If you DO cast it, it's not a HUGE dps loss, just a small one.

If you want a potion in your opener I would use it in the beginning of the fire phase, though I haven't confirmed when is most optimal. Also, that triplecast early on is a great time to get in position in the beginning of fights.

WAR had a mitigation strategy which was summed up as 'You have more Health.' Its ENTIRE defensive cooldown scheme was imported from leveling PLD in parallel and looting it for cooldowns. (Except for Holmgang.)

Think about every useful ability/trait they have and then imagine them not having it. Scroll down to Warrior changes and you'll see that 2.1 added everything you know as "Warrior". http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/topics/detail/03843d6bf7ba69adc37d7955ff7af43f3c43828a

your tank stance was completely worthless unless you never consumed the wrath stacks, because the bonus healing received was tied to the stacks inner beast was only a heal (for 300%, not 100% like now), no damage reduction component steel cyclone did not give more enmity storm's path only reduced healing received by targets, the 10% damage reduction component was not there (making it completely meaningless to ever use it) holmgang did not make you invulnerable, it was just a root vengeance only had the counterattack component tied to it, damage reduction not there overpower had such a long windup on it that you rarely hit anything with it, long enough to clip your GCD there was more but yeah, the list of bad was pretty bad

You can sorta see what they were going for with 2.0 WAR in how Twintania was designed--death sentence debuffed healing spells but not other forms of healing. So the idea was that paladin would use rampart or whatever to help the healers out, and warrior would inner beast to restore a chunk of the damage. Either way, the healer's problem is mitigated e: the problem is that death sentence would just OHKO warriors making the whole thing pointless cheetah7071 fucked around with this message at 23:41 on Aug 4, 2017 |
