Catastrophe is a training dummy if you're ranged.

Catastrophe has good uptime for melees but it absolutely sucks for positionals

These coffers I'm getting while doing the Heavenward quests are really nice, but it'd be great if I actually knew what the gently caress was in them without having to google them

I'll be honest I haven't paid attention to the names of the gear at all, I merely base my decisions on Strength = good, more Strength = more good

Apparently ultimate coil has a mechanic called "twister dives"

Fending is tanks, casting/healing are obvious, aiming is bard/machinist (and rightside aiming is also for ninjas), scouting is for ninja leftside, striking is samurai/monk, maiming is dragoon. "Use the thing with the highest amount of your main stat" is a pretty good heuristic until you get to the cutting edge.

Who else is a greedy gently caress like me that wants to raise tank jobs just for the clusters?

If ultimate coil doesn't have dive bombs happening literally all the time I'm gonna be disappointed.

On the one hand, I love this and it's amazing, but on the other hand, I hate it because I can't bring myself to run LDR as anything besides a tank now, despite the fact that I'm trying to level a healer instead. My gil per hour, guys Normally I wouldn't care about making a number representing fake money go up, but I'm lazily leveling crafters by buying GC and leve turn-ins off of vendors and I actually really need the money for that

I just tested this and, unbelievably, it seems like you can in fact do it as many times as you want. Edit: Oops, beaten to it. I'm shocked that the materia market hasn't crashed though.

It hasn't completely crashed but grade VI stuff is cheaper than grade V stuff was at the end of HW. Edit: for combat materia, at least. Crafters and gatherers materia are still super expensive.

Has their been any official word on the lack of journal flavor text on most non major quests? Am i the only one that cares? I totally understand if it takes too long for koji fox to type up a paragraph of picking up dung and I'm ready to let that go as long as someone comes out and say "Yes this is the new normal" or "No we will be adding all of this soon for consistency"

So after raid night tonight,i got to do (some of) Binding Coil,enough to just get all the wings unlocked and fight Bahamut and all the older players were nostalgia-ing hard over Answers and the whole Bahamut fight in general. So out of curiosity i looked up the cutscene that played when the original game shut down. Yeah uh...i can kinda see why now, hell of a way to kill a game  . Kinda wish i had known when i first started playing ARR that it was a continuation off of 1.0's story, would have settled some of the confusion i had in the early plot. Are all of the various class people that show in that cutscene their own characters or was it just one last cool display of cut scene power? How much of the story of the raid am i missing not doing every single Coil to it's fullest? I was also told to just skip the cutscenes and watch them later since a few of them are 30+ minutes long?!

The best way to experience Coils is the same as the best way to experience Castrum and Praetorium, get a 70 tank and 70 healer who are willing to wait around for you sitting through all the cutscenes and would be excited hearing your reactions over discord.

Bolow posted:IIRC The axe wielding guy is the generic insert for the player character? He's the generic stand-in for the PC. He shows up in the HW and SB CG cutscenes too, and even the 1.0 CG trailer thing. Most but not all of the generic job characters in the ARR opening also show up in the 1.0 CG trailer though only the generic Hyur continues off from there. HOOLY BOOLY posted:How much of the story of the raid am i missing not doing every single Coil to it's fullest? The story is largely contained in the before/after cutscenes. T5, T9, T12, and T13 are the big ones in terms of stuff happening. There's also a few mid-instance cutscenes but they're not really all that important.

Don't mean to poo poo on you in particular, but why does everybody insist on taking screenshots in the middle of the night with no light sources nearby.

It's still weird that people do that in general, since group pose includes 3 separate and combinable lighting options. Also it's not just the Roegadyn one that feels massive, even though Alte Roite does scale. They all do. drat thing is just too long!

I don't know, I've had to wait a looooonnngggg time for Zenos to do enough damage kill me as WAR or PLD when the Healer and DPS die to stupid junk. The only part that hits hard against a tank is the fourfold hit, I could see it being doable. Not going to defend the dude's assertion that you should go without a healer though when you can just die and pop back into the fight with one ezpz.

That fourfold hit doesn't have to do much damage either, it's called Unmoving Troika for a reason. He doesn't move once he's started doing it, even if you move out.

i dunno, zenos isn't a hard fight to heal unless people are overlapping with the black beams so no healing seems feasible to me if you're using clemency well.
