For o7 Air raid will do one of those orange-line tethers to one person briefly, and then start rapid firing shots in a wide area towards that location.

The end of the dotted line where it is shooting is also where the arena sized proximity aoe shows up, so you can position away from it well in advance, which is extremely good to know for whoever is tanking the other enemy at the time.

If anyone is having issue understanding the pair of bombs that spawn in that fight, wait until they start ticking down before picking a defuse spot. The correct one will get a shimmering ring around it. If you're in it already when it starts, it doesn't count. I'm also 99% sure that moving out of either once it's started also causes it to just go off anyway, correct side or not. So you probably need another person to effectively free you at that point. Just when they drop, move away from them. And don't dive in to their wires until they start the countdown.

50-60: Do Heavensward beast tribe quests daily, do clan hunts daily, run daily roulettes. Alliance will give you between 1/4 and 1/3 of a level, and if you can stomach the cutscenes MSQ reportedly gives nearly 1/2 or more. Between all that, as much POTD 51-100 as you can stand. Each level will take 3-5 runs not counting the floor 100 completion bonus.

Has something changed in regards to POTD that doing more than 51-60 is worthwhile?

I am, however, disappointed that Diabolic Whistle was not called "Evil Toot."

91-100 gives half again as much xp as the previous floors. Though largely just for a change of scenery. Doing 51-60 some 70+ times per class you level to 60 is really boring and soul destroying.

The sweater is maybe the most powerful glamour item added in stormblood.

Plates own and I wish I had 20 instead of 10 already. I'm at 120/200 slots with only all-class stuff added so far.

how do plates interact with weapons and job gear? I haven't added any in, and plates seem to be shared between all jobs.

Plates are just mass glamour overwrites so it doesnt do anything glamours cant do.

It doesnt allow stuff the class cant use.

From what I can tell, is activating a plate is just like glamouring every item you're wearing. So if you add job specific gear to a plate, it's only going to show up on that job.

It's precisely that. It's like doing x amount of old school glamour commands all at once instead of one at a time.

Now I just need it to let me trigger a plate with a macro or tie a plate to a gear set. As it is I have to make 2 clicks to switch between MNK & SAM and BLM & RDM and I want it automated.

quote:

A parameter has been added to the "/gearset" command to allow glamour plates to be applied when changing gear sets.
Example:
/gearset change 1 2
This will change to gear set 1 and apply glamour plate 2.

edit: Found the command. "/gearset change 2 6", for example, will equip your second gearset and your sixth glamour plate.

Optimist. I ran 50/60 roulette last night and got Keeper of the Lake, because that's the only 50/60 dungeon in the game, and the SAM was obviously doing way less damage than they should have been. The random DRK noticed that, and asked them if they were using Iajutsu. After some confusion, they replied with "brb trying to add it to my macro"

Yes, they were using a giant macro to run their rotation.

Jesus, I thought I had it bad. Ran a Ghost Barque last night as WAR, and absolutely imploded on the first proper pull up to the crab dude. Scholar told me it was my fault because Warrior has the worst defenses of all tanks and I should pull one group at a time, and that Eos should be enough to heal me. I don't think our summoner used Bane once. Something about saving dreadwyrm for bosses, I didn't comment because I have no idea how summoner works.

Speaking as a Summoner, I think that one has had their brain eaten by one of their egis and you should execute them immediately.

I mean, Christ, why would you not want to shred a dozen dudes at once with Tri-Bind spam and then bury them with Deathflare?

:unsmigghh:

Were they just not using their Aetherflows outside of boss fights because they wanted to have DWT ready? That might actually be worse than my SAM. Dreadwyrm isn't even that big of a DPS boost on single targets pre-70.

Summoner works like this:

Every one minute you get fifteen seconds of pure unadulterated murder power capped off with a mega explosion.

Anyone "saving" pure unadulterated murder power for bosses when they could be improving their Deathflares Per Dungeon count is completely wrong.
