Who needs a house out in Hackensack? Is that all you get for your money?

Thundarr posted:

I forget who it was, but somebody in this thread posted some pictures of a house they decorated almost entirely with stuff you can buy super cheap (a couple thousand gil at most) from merchants in the housing zones and it still looked really good. If the decorating bug strikes you, you can have a good looking home that hardly costs you a thing once the actual "having a house" part is taken care of.

I'm not sure if I'm that somebody, but my house is cool and is mostly vendor stuff. There are a few crafted items, like chairs and couch, which need the wax from Haukke normal, the fireplaces, the picture-frames, and the cooking and blacksmithing stations (mostly added for flavour, tbh) but your housing vendors can sell all kinds of decent stuff that you can use for very little.

The butler elf (I like to call mine Alfredoix) aka "Manor Steward" can be purchases from Independent Sutlers in the housing zones for 5000g, I think. They sell all kinds of furnishings and you can plonk them down anywhere in your house and pick the race and sex. Boys wear suits and girls wear maid outfits.

I did not get a new house because I like my plot in the Lavender Beds too much, but with some of the new items added in 4.2, I did a bit of redecorating in my small house. The open partition and the brick wall are some of my favourite new items. Having extra vendors is nice, too.

I don't know what the other localizations call them. I just know that the permits to place vendors in your house come from vendors called "independent sutler" as opposed to "housing merchant" or whatever.

This reminds me of the super creepy Tauren NPC in World of Warcraft that got put in as a make a wish foundation thing for this dying kid. He got to voice act for it and everything.

Or you can be less cynical and weird about it and look at it as an homage and an awesome gesture by blizzard done for one of their fans. IIRC they also gave him the legendary bow off KJ while he was still playing during TBC because he played a hunter.

PLD is the actual Warrior of Light right now. It excels at everything a tank wants to do while still having some strong situational powers and being probably the easiest job in the game to play.

WAR can situationally out-DPS or out-Tank the PLD but WAR can’t out-DPS a PLD as Main tank and out-surviving a PLD both takes a lot of skill and kills your DPS. It has a lot of fun and interesting buttons but most of it adds up to the same thing PLDs get by just doing the thing.

DRK lives life in shame from the shadows, the worst at both not dying and making things die. It has some fun and interesting toys but it’s just the worst. It’s still not BAD, just... underwhelming compared to WAR and especially PLD.

Uh I do more dps as a WAR MT than I do as a PLD MT because I'm only in defiance for about 20 seconds in a fight.

Our other tank likes Dark Knight better than both others and does hella DPS on it from MT or OT as well.

pld is like playing a wow tank in that it is super boring and also has a lot of low-cd mitigation while also doing the usual mmo tank things of like 'taking someone else's damage' and 'dying because the pld covered the twin bolt'

warrior is a tough guy and isn't bothered by tanking concepts like 'holding aggro'. instead he is a dps who accidentally got a bigger hp pool.

drk used to be the magic damage tank but now he's just another tank. he also used to be needlessly complex to do the same dps as all the other tanks but now he is incredibly boring.

play whichever one you want, the flavor is going to matter more than any gameplay concessions and they're all more or less on equal footing.

DRK is my main so I know it the best. You can pop a bubble on someone so they don't eat it to an avoidable attack while simultaneously fueling your DARK ENERGY to kill more things.

PLD....I just find super boring to play. It's good, probably, but yawn.

WAR is pretty great. I love how you can swap tank stances on the fly without spending resources and fell-cleaving dudes is extremely satisfying.

War generates so much aggro in deliverance that I have to shirk on cooldown to make sure the MT keeps hate even when skipping onslaught. Also nothing beats 5-8 18-21k fell cleaves or 8-10k decimates in a row.

Yeah, nothing in the game is so tightly tuned that you can’t just play what you want. PLD is straightforward and efficient, WARs are all about flurries of furious action, and DRKs are there too, I guess.

(I don’t really get what they are now. They used to be the tank all about resource juggling but kinda lost all their depth to that in SB while the WAR kinda quietly picked up that particular hat, at least as a MT if they needed to actually use their Defiance spenders)

From like 60 pages ago, but this will happen with healer and tank queues sometimes too. "Oh! Adventurer in need flipped to <role>! That's my job, I better queue for quick queues and extras!"

Except that poo poo only updates once every 5 minutes or so, and now there's probably 6 billion <role> queue. Unless you catch it the moment it flips, you're probably waiting longer than usual. :v:

For anyone considering playing DRK, it's worth giving a shot because well...don't take the bolded too seriously. At the end of the day, a Dark Knight was still in the world first clear group for Unending Coil. The balance margins in this game are pretty drat inconsequential in 99% of play.

Whether you like the play style or not is the more important factor.

I've mained DRK since Heavensward and I've enjoyed it. I've been leveling WAR again which has also been a blast. I haven't played PLD at all so I can't comment on that.

It also helps to know that the DRK has what is widely considered to be the best job quest line.

PLD is the utility tank. Cover and Intervention are ridiculously good and Divine Veil and Passage of Arms also exist, I guess. A lot of people call them the defensive tank but their cooldowns aren't anything special so they're not actually any tankier than the other tanks. They have a very rigid dps rotation and it's basically guaranteed that their Requiescat cycle will line up with movement at least once per fight so get used to slidecasting.

WAR is the burst damage tank. They used to be focused around building resources to burn during burst windows but now they just flail randomly and it doesn't really matter what they do as long as they are getting 5 Fell Cleaves per IR. Defensively they have the worst cooldowns unless you are mainlining Inner Beast.

DRK is the press a lot of buttons tank. They use a lot of OGCDs and high end play is all about pooling resources to spend during party buffs. Defensively they have by far the best cooldowns for magic heavy fights (which are 4 of the 5 fights this tier) and are more or less on par with PLD in physical fights.

PLD is tankier because of the shield. Blocking can reduce so much damage and there are three cooldowns that either guarantee block or increase block rate. Intervention, cover, POA, and veil are all amazing no doubt, though.

PLD can’t burst the ghost on phantom train in w gcds, though.

Passive blocks aren't really any better than what DRK can do with TBN, though. Also Bulwark's cooldown is like twice as long as it should be for how small of an effect it has.

Then you use it in a dungeon on a big trash back and you block like, a gazillion damages and have gauge for days.
Which is roughly how long you'll have to wait for it to come up again but that's usually after the next boss that you should have run down your gauge on anyways.

WAR having the worst defensive cooldowns is far from the truth. Getting Rampart on top of their CD suite means they have plenty of CDs for every situation and more importantly, their CD timers are way shorter.

And with the Unchained change, you can drop into Defiance more regularly to use Inner Beast if you really need to without suffering as large as a DPS drop since Upheaval gains a lot of damage in Defiance.
