Last I checked Tornado Kick can actually be a dps gain now, if you time it to be used in the last 3~ seconds of a riddle of fire then immediately use a Perfect Balance to get back up to 3 stacks.

I was eventually able to find a mud fish node that worked but since it’s backbone connections that are having issues that may or may not work at all.

That said O3S is very interesting when the offtank DCs at the wrong times... manaward - it does nothing!

Bunch of ISPs are having problems since yesterday across the entire U.S.. Someone in game mentioned WTFast as a potential solution but they may also just not be in an affected area so who knows.

I swore off WHM at the start of Stormblood because the changes looked poo poo. I got RDM to 70 and then picked up WHM as an alt to keep it relevant and then realised the changes were actually good and WHM is still the class I wanted to play.

Yeah I really disliked the WHM changes when I saw them laid out and it kept me from buying Stormblood for a while since it seemed like they made my class poo poo. Now I see all the new moves are just being bonuses to the WHM kit that already existed and I'm having a good time. Divine Benison is a pretty awesome move and I don't know why, lillies are kind of lovely though. I'm also a freak and preferred the old style of cleric stance dancing better than how healer DPSing works now but it's almost made even by the fact that I don't have to choose between healy assize and murder everything assize.

Besides, Trump is being his usual self in Asia and pissing off NK so they're the likely suspects in a DDoS to all services (maybe a bit of Russia/China too since there's various lections happening in the States right now?), Brazil also seems to be getting hit really badly.

There might be reasons like Trump being a twat like usual and pissing off state actors behind it, but even if there weren't, people would still do it.

I like the helpful role actions like Goad and Mana Shift and Apocatastasis. They're fun to toss out, but I sometimes forget when I get super focused on gettin' the deeps.

Some enterprising Redditors poked around in it, it holds both Rabanastre and the Ultimate Coil.

As for the servers being broken, I'm using Mudfish and I've had zero connection problems the last couple of days. I have my nodes set up like this:



Much more importantly, I fixed my DRK glamour, which I lost the gloves and boots for ages ago. I love how utterly, utterly bemused my character looks in the flying chair; that's not even her neutral expression, it's more scowl-y.

Enough of this nonsense. You are an important mayor and this absurd contraption has wasted enough of your time.

EponymousMrYar posted:

100% of the time when I have goaded a War/Pld, they kept pulling and my DPS sucked because I couldn't AoE because I'm out of TP with Invig still having 80+ seconds left on CD.
Then they'd run out of TP halfway through that second pull with most of the mobs still being alive.
Then Invig would pop off CD and I'd get another Tenka Gokken in (480 tp) before going right back to where I started.

Then we'd eventually kill the rest of those mobs relying on the other DPS and some stuff from the Healer and it would take way longer than if I didn't Goad in the first place so that the tank stopped and waited for their TP (and by extension, mine.)

SAM's love Goad and Spire more than anyone else.

You realize that the run isn't actually going to go faster by causing tp stalls, right? Also I don't have any idea why you think you ditch leg sweep for goad as a sam. I run leg sweep, invigorate, goad, diversion, true north.

I think this line is mostly filler.
So I've been derping around at my own pace, got into HW, enjoying myself. Even if I've got all sorts of opinions of the poor life choices theatre that was the end of the 2.x stuff, also why am I allowed to run around while being a wanted criminal what even game? I'm at the point where I can get an apartment or a goon-room or whatever. Is it really worth getting if I don't have my crafting classes leveled up to make furniture? Getting one just to have it seems kinda weird.

The po-po in Gridania and Linda don't believe it and don't care, the folks in Uldah don't believe it and turn a blind eye. Talk to the various guild leaders where you've finished their storyline, it's quite sweet how they defend you.

If you talk to NPCs that belong to the groups that would care about that sort of thing they'll all say stuff like "I'll look the other way since I believe in you, WoL, prove them wrong." There's actually a good chunk of new incidental dialog post-fall it was kind of cool

Even those who believe the frame job has no inclination to actually fight you to try and arrest you. By then the WoL is already like a tactical nuke.

The way the game tries to match you in dungeons is that it will try to stick one physical DPS with one magical DPS. 9/10 times, the other is some kind of caster, who wouldn't be able to goad your TP-less SAM even if you asked nicely, with please and thank you, in the most non-offensive way possible.

And if the tank isn't a warrior, that goad you've got slotted is going to waste as well, because DRK and PLD are going to run out of MP long before they run out of TP.

So if you're slotting Goad as a melee, it's basically a dead slot unless you get either 1) A warrior tank, or 2) the magical combination of double-melee, 3) a BRD/MCH that doesn't sit there with their thumb up their asses.

And in the end that still doesn't solve the problem of "other people either don't have or are too :effort: to do anything other than push a macro while you're running your AoEing SAM rear end's TP bar dry.

Do plds not run out of tp in big pulls? The MO is to spam total eclipse, no? Tossing out a flash occasionally to re up the blind effect maybe, but you’re definitely killing your tp, aren’t you?

By the time you get low on TP you should be at 3-4 mobs anyways. At that point you hit requiscat, holy spirit the last few dudes until the pull is done, and by the time you grab the next pull you're full again. Holy spirit without req beats aoeing 3 targets and with requiscat beats aoe at 4.

PLD will only run out of TP if people aren't aoeing.

They should, but most dungeon running paladins do little if any AOE damage.

I've come back to PLD after taking the entirety of HW away from it and my AoE rotation consists entirely of spamming the spinny move they added in Stormblood (I think?) and Circle of Scorn on cooldown rate it out of 10 (i'm level 52)

That's correct. People still don't do this. :negative:

Evidence: daily exdr and lldr mostly involve paladins whose tp bars never move

Once you get holy spirit, tp is never an issue. Do not spam PLD aoe at 3 or less targets ever and single target holy spirit if four are up and you have requiscat.

It's never required in any of the content I do but, if I've got an O4 group and the tank already has lightning vuln, I'll throw it on for Thunder III. Having a few extra support skills makes me feel all Red Magey. :kimchi:
