kassatsu will make every tick of doton crit. if kassatsu is up and you're going to use either katon or doton it's worth burning it.

for the record, i don't think it's worth dotoning very often unless you're sure you can trust your tank, but i'm also butt at playing melee dps

I mained nin through HW and this is the same conclusion I came to. It isn't even necessarily about trusting the tank either but if things will live long enough to eat all the ticks.

You can actually use doton at the very start of a pull before you're on the aggro table and if you hit hide just before the first dot tick goes off it will reset your mudra, effectively making that doton free. That's generally the only time I doton on trash pulls anymore

Getting to flying mounts was pretty underwhelming compared to wow. I was excited when I finished the quest but you need to collect a bunch of cloud points and also complete some side quests and maybe even some msq to be able to fly in one area. Probably about the time I'm done with an area anyway.

I understand they don't want you to blitz through zones which is why wow always gated flying for each expansion but this feels excessive and grindy in a way this game usually finds a way to at least sweeten.

The Allagans had the Aethernet. Beast tribes like the sylphs and Amal’jaa have Aethernets. It’s not exactly cutting-edge technology.

Fat Moogle is just a straight cash shop buy. Please be aware, as no collector's edition upgrade will get you Fat Moogle.

Fat Chocobo, on the other hand, there are several variants, some of which are even obtainable in-game.

Are we posting FFXIV videos for the sprouts to watch while in DPS queue now? =D In addition to the aforementioned Denmo:

Certifiably spoiler-free:

NoClip: Why haven't you watched their three-part docu about the fall and rebirth of FFXIV yet? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xs0yQKI7Yw4

Relatively spoiler-free.

Larryzaur: "Basically" videos are tongue-in-cheek "how to play" guides. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=channel?UCQjKMGUEzBmEHltb1OIMLUg?videos

Don't watch unless you're current:

Drak: Blooper videos. If you ever hear anyone say "thunder buddies", this is where it came from: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=user?DrakGamestein?videos
Karina: Blooper videos. https://www.youtube.com/user/StarFishB0x0rs/videos
Goldentot: Blooper videos. Screamo streamer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=user?GoldenTotProductions

Watch at your own peril, somewhere in between the two previous categories.

Speakers Network: In-depth lore about the parts of 1.0 that are still around, and the parts of 1.0 that no longer are. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=channel?UC2BQVHKP5x3Cs62MB0DF5EQ?videos

The problem with these is that half of them are completely out of date now. It's unfortunate if you level a class post SB and go watch it because you won't get half the jokes.

It's also hard to tell what's a joke or not so only watch if you're actually familiar with the class. (See my posts about cure 3).

Seems you haven't finished the chain started with the "Legacy of Allag" sidequest in Mor Dhona after The Praetorium. You might enjoy it!
After you beat him, he fled during a brief power blackout triggered by Gaius booting up the Ultima Weapon.

Speaking of Denmo's work, he made dance video for Stormblood, but it got taken down from YouTube due to copyright complaint from the music copyright owner.

An unrestricted hose of bad opinions and even worse mechanical execution that nonetheless insists on putting out raid guides that purport to be the gospel.

A couple other haus related questions.

1. Can I have a room in my FC house and also the apartment at the Topsail or whatever?
2. If I use furnishings in my apartment to test out designs or just gently caress around, can I collect them and later place them in my FC's house?
3. Are wallpapers etc. a "per unit" thing or will they work on an entire zone/room/part of the house?

Yes
Yes
They work on the entire outer wall of a floor, but for the partitions you can use wallpaper on, it's one wallpaper item per partition.

Making it easier to use is basically upping its power though, considering the main dps drop right now is caused by losing enochian

I'm going to say this until I'm blue in the face.

Even if you play the job perfectly (like against a dummy), you still get outdpsed by Summoner and do less damage on your own than other classes bring with their raid buffs.

The class needs a damage/stat buff, or something that gives the class more damage.
