I don't think I've ever made a tank grumpy by loving up and getting them killed because i had to do just one more gravity. Most of them laugh it off or tell me to do it some more.

Game is pretty chill is what I'm saying.

let he who hasn't gotten a tank killed by casting "just one more" holy cast the first stone

If the tank died you probably need to cast something other than Stone :v:

there's still two seconds left on thin air, it's practically throwing mp out the window not to cast my most expensive spell

The fix is clearly to make Holy into an extra Assize you can spam which heals the players caught in its blast radius for roughly similar amounts to damage dealt. (MP cost should go down and it should just refund its cost)

Also it should buff all the DPS with a 100% dmg increase and give the WHM cracked clusters (3 of them) every time it's cast

No, I disagree partially.
If the DPS do more damage, it means that the enemies die quicker so I get to Holy less. If anyhing, Holy should do more damage so that it does the appropriate amount of damage that it should do so more % of the groups DPS comes from the WHM as intended.

Other players having fun isn't something that should be in this game.

So how are the controller controls in this game? I made an alt the level on Excal with goons cause my main is almost BiS and I've gotten all my gatherers leveled and was thinking about giving the controller a go. Any weirdness I should be warned about?

Wow, this is a good idea.

But what if Holy did no damage, had a stun that ran into the next cast of Holy, and decreased all party DPS to 0%? That way you could cast 1000s of Holys per pull.

I know a lot of people who use controller and they seem fine with it. I admit I don't know how they do it, it'd drive me nuts though.

Controllers are completely fine. You'll want to enable extended cross hotbars and W cross hotbars to have enough buttons. I also (playing on a dualshock 4) remapped my buttons to swap L1 with L2 and R1 with R2; you'll be pressing the button for accessing a hotbar much more often than the button for switching hotbars and I find the 1s more comfortable than the 2s on a dualshock. I also remapped L3 from whatever it is by default to target of target.

I prefer controller to KB&M. There are some classes which are more awkward than others, but its plenty playable in this expansion.

I don't even think you need WXHB anymore, except for maybe SMN depending on how you want to do your pet abilities. Every other class I've managed to fit everything onto CHB1/2.

Are people getting sent to Rikers' Island again?

WXHB is probably not necessary except maybe on PLD and SMN, I just use the extended controls and shuffle things around to fit well. Main stuff on hotbar 1, less often used or out-of-combat stuff on 2, oh-poo poo buttons or often-used secondary mechanics (like AST cards or NIN Mudras) on L+R.

I personally prefer WXHBs over the expanded ones. On dragoon, my main hotbar has the oGCDs I use on CD plus about half my GCDs. Then my single expanded hotbar (which both L+R and R+L point to) has the other half my my GCDs. My WXHBs have situational cooldowns like second wind and true north. The only weirdness with this setup is my AoE moves are in the WXHB and elusive jump has to move to the expanded CHB but I put every GCD on a face button instead of the D-pad and I don't have to worry about the difference between R+L and L+R

I'm a big fan of WXHBs because you can set them up to be always on which kinda alleviates the need to set up extra hotbars to track cooldowns. Might not be totally necessary anymore but it gives you a little more freedom to organize your poo poo and spread stuff out rather than cramming everything into one crossbar. I have a very particular way my bars are organized though and people call me crazy for it

Your best bet as far as guides go is watching mizzeteq's videos, all the other video and written guides tend to vary from overly long and unclear to just straight up wrong. https://www.youtube.com/user/MTQcapture

If you're talking normal difficulty though I wouldn't worry too much about it. Story Lakshmi you can just leave vril up the whole time, grab the orbs, and you'll be fine. Not that her EX is much harder
