Nessus posted:Oh, was I not supposed to be doing that? I was just plowing in my cactpot winnings really I mean, do what you want 'cause it's your MGP to spend. But if you're racing Bo's in order to climb the Chocobo Jockey ladder then you're mostly racing for the XP and all you really care about is First-Third place or the pity bonus on the actual results of that race. Grade 3 feed helps you win more but here's the thing: you can buy 2x Grade 2's for less than the price of a single Grade 3. And since winning is relatively not that big of a deal it begs the question of 'why spend all that extra MGP when you don't need it?' Especially when you're just gonna retire that bird as soon as possible. If you're answer is 'I like winning' or 'I don't care about mounts/triad cards and thus have a million mgp to blow' then good on ya. Edit: Quick napkin math here: 40x 610 for grade 2 feed = 24,400 MGP 40x 1345 for grade 3 feed = 53,800 MGP. You could train up 2 Bo's on grade 2 feed for a bit less than what it takes if you just use grade 3's. Since you'll be training somewhere around 10-20 Bo's that adds up fast.

Ideally what you want to do is Requiescat near the end of a GCD with full MP, then fire off all your Holy Spirits. Don't Holy Spirit outside of a Requiescat window, because that means you might not be at full MP again in time for the next one.

If I've never played a melee DPS class in any game before, am I gonna hate SAM? I don't really want to do RDM but I figure I ought to at least give the experience a go. I did level BLM up to 36 back in '15 but I got terminally bored and became a healer instead.

Samurai is interesting the first time you play it and the amount of DPS you can do compared to other comparable melee DPSes is pretty silly, but it's a complete one trick pony. You will use your same rotation at level 50 to level 70, barring a few OGCDs and it gets boring and repetitive very quickly. They try to make it more interesting by turning the skills into positionals but it doesn't go down very well in practice. I personally would try ninja or monk as your first melee instead.

Said positionals also disappear in practice once you hit 62, because you're oozing kenki regardless if you do them.

You still should do positionals past 62. If you're doing your rotation correctly you won't have excess kenki.

As said, Requiescat > Holy Spirit is basically a form of burst every now and then. Ideally you want to weave in Requiescat right at the end of Fight or Flight (and after you refresh Goring Blade) and then go to Holy Spirit spam. Outside of its CD you just use your normal rotations. I'm still not convinced they've gotten the Oath gauge down right (especially for Duty Roulette), but I guess that's a 'next expansion' thing. Switching to another tank topic, how's the new Shake it Off for WARs?

Shake it off is great. It's just a superior form of Divine Veil. Easier to use (one skill vs two skills), way more powerful and on a shorter cooldown. It's basically a cracked out version of Divine Veil.

WAR still continues to suffer from not being able to do certain things without a target. Much as in the same vein as Holmgang, Inner Beast is such a cheap and easy way to get extra mileage out of Shake, but because IB requires a target, you may not always have it up when you need it. Furthermore, at this point, WAR's only weakness seems to be an inability to build Beast Gauge on an AoE basis.

I liked not really having to worry about that other than aiming cones for some of the aoe. Also, I learned yesterday that if you have two or more wind up moogles together, they'll dance, as shown out of focus in this screenshot also featuring my recently fantasiad femroe.

They make it so that if you do the positionals correctly, you get extra kenki which is used for your OGCDs more.

The positionals start at 52, when you're introduced to the Kenki mechanic. Gekko (Moon Sen) gives you +5 if you do it from behind, and Kasha (Flower Sen) gives you +5 if you do it from the side. You also get five from Yukikaze (Snow Sen + Slash Debuff), Mangetsu (AOE Moon Sen), Oka (AOE Flower Sen), and Enpi (Ranged Attack). Ageha can also get you 10 when you use it, 30 if you score a killshot, but that only works if the enemy is at 25% health or less so I don't think it's remotely reliable. You spend it on Kaiten (+50% power to next weaponskill for 20 Kenki), Gyoten (10 to dash in and attack), and Yaten (10 to jump back, do damage, and make Enpi 300 potency instead of 100). Once you hit 62, you get Enhanced Kenki. All of your weaponskills give you five when you use them, on top of the stuff listed above, so Gekko is 5 if you blow the positional, 10 if you get it. And so on. At that level, you also get Shinten, which is just a 300 potency oGCD for 25 Kenki. Your skills from there are Kyuten (150 AOE for 25), Seigan (200 potency for 15, only doable after Merciful Eyes), Hagakure (eat Sen for 20 Kenki each on a 40 second cooldown), and finally Guren: 50 Kenki for a 10 yalm line of 800 potency to the first target, 75% of that to the second, 50% of that for every target thereafter, with a two minute cooldown. Basically sub-50 your class is an incomplete pain in the rear end because you can't get all three Sen but you start at 50 so it's not too big a deal, 52-61 is "I get the occasional bit of Kenki but don't have a ton of poo poo to use it on anyway," 62+ is "Kenki comes in real fast but also goes out real fast."

Just asking a few questions to make sure Im properly utilizing drk 1. Should I be spending blood gauge on anything other than bloodspiller/delirium in raids? Is it even worth it to single target quietus? 2. What role actions does everybody use? Right now I run rampart/provoke/reprisal/anticipation/shirk, is there something else about convalescence or something I'm missing? 3. Should I be using dark arts on Dark mind ever? (Additionally is there a list of magic damage sources because I sometimes feel like even against attacks that are clearly magic based dark mind does nothing) Bonus question is there like a basic sch guide out there? I wanna make sure I understand the basics of that class before I take it any further

Convalescence or Awareness over Anticipation, depending on the fight. Anticipation is just really really bad and Conv is better while Awareness is great against fights with auto crits like O3S and Shinryu EX. 3. Basically no. There's no way to really tell in game what's magic and what's physical. You just have to guess or check ACT.

I wanted to compare mine to yours so I looked, and we're about the same (4GB here between laptop and desktop with ~1500 files). What worries me is the laptop has a creation date of Saturday, February 14, 2015, 1:26:27 AM and desktop is Saturday, November 21, 2015, 7:57:54 AM, which makes sense for when I started playing and once I built this desktop... but unless you're messing with the folders, then you've taken 1600 screen shots in like two and a half months  fe: Actually the dates on mine make sense but the timestamps don't because there's no chance in hell I was up at 7:57 AM on a Saturday to play a video game.
