if you're actually switching hotbars while using a controller you're doing it wrong. the controller gives you access to 48 abilities, which i'm fairly certain is way more than every class currently needs

cheetah7071 posted:Are you using your W cross hotbars and your L+R cross hotbars? Like the only classes that spill over after adding those are scholar and summoner and even then that's only if you go halfway with each for convenience's sake I know there is an option for L+R crossbar but i don't know what you mean by W? Not sure where in the options menu those things are either sadly.

W cross hotbars are hotbars that you access by double tapping L or R. Dunno where the menu options are. They were added in 3.5 I think. kirbysuperstar posted:W-XHB is the double-tap L2/R2 thing to get another half a cross-hotbar. There's a setting to make them full hotbars with both D pad and face buttons but it isn't really necessary

orcane posted:No it's not mathematically impossible but implying that people shouldn't be wearing poo poo gear because there is the near-zero chance to get all your gear in one run is ridiculous. There are close to 80 items per dungeon and you can get duplicate drops from different chests, good luck! Boy, you really went out of your way to try to misunderstand my point in the worst way possible  . There are a ton of chests resulting in 10+ drops a run. Odds are pretty good you'll get something.

Also it takes like 8 runs with armory bonus plus rested xp bonus to get your 2 levels in SB dungeons, you really don't have an excuse to not be getting the majority of your gear updated between dungeons. If you're literally not doing a single dungeon and only doing roulettes to level that class up then clearly that is your own fault and you should buy expensive stuff from npcs/the marketboard

4 out of 5 SAMs that I get in PF are irredeemably awful. I thought it'd be RDM that was the trash job but nope it's SAM. It's not infrequent that they can barely pull enough damage to outdo the tanks. My static leader has gotten to the point where he mocks every Samurai we get (in private). It's just a matter of time before he starts mocking them to their face. Gumball Gumption posted:I'm so mad right now that dude got carried to O3S and I can't find a group that can get past 2. 2 is easy once you have it down, even with bad players. Get a few friends together, get acclimatized to the fight, then fill out the rest of your raid with pubs. Assign directions ABCD for Maniacal Probe / Long Drop, tanks/heals up dps down during Gravitational Manipulation, AB north CD south for -100G, tank swap during Evilsphere. There isn't much more to the fight than that.

I've been running o2s a lot in pf and every SAM I had in a party was actually quite good. Like, opener above 4K and at 4K if we hit enrage. Some of the other dps were downright dire. Like, bards under 3k. No deaths. Earlier tonight in the party I got that cleared a SMN that died twice was at 3k

I make more mistakes in O1S than I ever make in 2-3 because I cleared it so quickly that I never memorized the boss' rotation. I'm reacting to what it does every week without any memory of what comes next

One of the pubbie O1S groups I ran this weekend hit enrage multiple times with the boss at greater than 20% HP. That was just impressively bad. Granted I had one or two dumb deaths since the real challenge in O1S is remembering his mechanics from the couple pulls you did a week ago, but still. I almost didn't get an O3S clear in because a bunch of PF groups were explicitly blocking samurai, so I guess some other folks get the same impression that lots of sams are bads.

It's not infrequent that they can barely pull enough damage to outdo the tanks. I sometimes get a second SAM in DF as I've been leveling SAM and I'm surprised at how rarely they use Iajutsu moves. No Higanbana on bosses, no Tenka Goken in groups, just the occasional Midare. I can understand maybe during a first run of Dusk Vigil or Sohm Al not having a complete handle on it, but by the Vault I would think the basic ins-and-outs of the class would be apparent. My suggestions have been met with silence. HackensackBackpack fucked around with this message at 13:00 on Aug 15, 2017 |

Is there a list anywhere of quest-related changes to the world? Large scale examples of this would be Alexander rising out of the lake, the grave of Haurchefant during the MSQ, etc.. Off the top of my head I can think of changes coming out of the SB Samurai and Botanist quests, and the HW Hildibrand chain-- I'm sure there must be plenty of others too.

Oxygen Deficiency posted:Sometimes i'll accidentally Aspected Benefic the tank between pulls and think to myself "(please click it off please click it off please click it off) WELP I'M DEAD" Despite the fact that healing aggro exists, I feel tanks have enough AoE abilities in their toolkit so that they can intercept mobs or at least stagger pulls to the point where you wouldn't get aggro.

Dont pre regen your tanks. Also over heals causing threat needs to go away. It's a relic of early 2000's that should be dead and gone. But they'll probably keep it as its the only way to make this game not even more brain dead easy raiding compared to wow. The fact you can click in this game at the high end level attests to that.

So long as Flash or Overpower connect and hit the mobs they're going to be stuck on the tank. Regen threat isn't going to pull off a tank with the innate enmity boost of tank stance.

Mr. Nice! posted:Why do people hate on clicking so much? Especially when there are savage raiders that click. Reflex carried over from WoW? About the only place where I would not want to see people clicking is during a Wildfire, because that *does* drop the GCD down to something comparable to WoW's. But yeah, clicking doesn't have nearly the same ramifications with the 2.5s GCD.

The fact you can click in this game at the high end level attests to that. Yes it loving will, one flash under shield oath is an absolutely stupid amount of threat. While I don't usually pre-regen my tanks, it's not because it's a bad move, it's because most tanks are loving brain dead and won't do the one flash, instead just tossing out a shield lob before they run to the next pack, or if they miss a mob or two I'll have to deal with them, which is trivially easy but actually requires me to exert a modicum of effort which I am loathe to do. I sure as gently caress don't give a poo poo if my regen is still on a tank or not when they start pulling more poo poo. All I really have to say to any healer who finds this an issue at all is git gud. SwissArmyDruid posted:Reflex carried over from WoW?

With a little practice most classes in FFXIV can be played by clicking just as well as without, just make sure you can keep doing what you need to be doing whenever you need your mouse to orient.

I just assume thats their lovely legacy code causing that. Yoshi-P has played other mmo's he has to understand it adds nothing to a game. Mr. Nice! posted:Why do people hate on clicking so much? Especially when there are savage raiders that click. Like others have said the hate and apprehension comes from wow and the fact most clickers are BAD. I'm not hating on it but you're only getting away with it in savage content because ffxiv savage content is methodical and the same and you have 2.5 gcd. You would never be able to raid effectively and click in mythic wow. The last time I saw a clicker in wow in actual hard content was a prot pld killing the ruby sanctum dragon as a world 5th kill.

A samurai not using iaijustsu is just crazy to me. I play samurai and I use it all the freaking time. My flaw is sometimes I forget to use more kenki abilities and it can go to waste but beyond that, always iaijutsu all the time. But playing pve content after doing pvp a lot is pretty jarring since the combos are, rightfully, consolidated into one button. So getting the muscle memory back to hit a thousand more buttons for a combo takes a few (boy do I want single button combos for samurai and dragoon). But I'm also a samurai player who is constantly worried about keeping up my 10% buffs, so I always go through the combos. Always. So Meikyo Shisui gets neglected a lot of the time.
