The world's first on a recent raid used DRK, don't worry about which job you are. Enjoy Heavensward  Meanwhile I hadn't realised I had past the point to unlock Void Ark, so I guess I know what I'm doing today.

I've just become paranoid now after playing mmos with goons and discovering that I seem to gravitate to the more conceptually cool but mechanically lackluster classes. Magus from WAR comes to mind.

Drks are fine at 70, they just take a hit when synced down between 50-70 because their on demand mitigation is a 70 ability. On the other hand, they get most of their dps suite early so it's way less jarring compared to war/pld to get synced to 50.

Rhjamiz posted:Edit; also I hear that DRKs are the weakest tanks. I assume they are still fun and capable, just not Raid Optimal or some nonsense? Correct. Dark Knights kit is entirely functional, it just doesn't offer anything that the other two tanks don't already do better for the higher difficulty raids. That said, Dark Knight is extremely good for dungeons because it just craps out loads of area damage on large packs of enemies.

It's pretty great but oh god does it ever just tug at the completionist in me. I want to level everything almost just for the sake of doing it. I'm currently working on purging the filthy class icons from my character's menus by getting everything up to 30 and turned into Jobs. Squadron dungeons are a blessing, but I think I actually like Halatali less then Thousand Maws for how the NPCs behave.

Pretty sure Halatali is not a reworked 1.0 dungeon. While Tam-Tara shares a name with a 1.0 open world dungeon area, it's a completely different place. The only places that are retooled from 1.0 assets are, IIRC< Toto-Rak, Cutter's Cry, Dzemael Darkhold, and Aurum Vale.

Is there a place to see what all this stuff looked like/ how bad it was in 1.0? I'm mildly curious, it sounds like an entirely diff game.

I'm mildly curious, it sounds like an entirely diff game. 1.0 for sure was almost a completely different game. 1.23, when the servers finally went down, somewhat resembles 2.0 and beyond. The Fall and Rise of FFXIV series by Speakers Network is a decent overview of the development of XIV, not necessarily of the content of the game itself. Remnants of a Realm is a bit closer to what you're asking for, but together they're a good, rounded package of what FFXIV used to be.

The world first group for the hardest content last patch (probably still hardest content, just not newest) had a DRK and his answer as to why was "Cause it's fun." Jobs are super close in balance and outside of Dunning-Kruger pubbies who think you need 100% optimal classes despite never stepping foot in savage content, everything is viable.

Just watched a fellow Dragoon in O6N fail every single mechanic. I don't mean fail them each once, I mean fail them every time. I get that you're new, guy, but if the other 7 players are standing behind a rock, maybe you should join them? Almost makes me want to switch main to Samurai out of second-hand job embarrassment.

So I've been disrespecting the gently caress out of the crafting content leveling CRP. If my math is right it only takes at most 90 Leves to go from 15-60 if you HQ everything. Not factoring in doing quests for those fluffy white assholes or Zhloe. That's surprisingly pretty ok? If you can find some bored goon to make the poo poo for you it'll probably run you less than 1m per DoH job to do it as well

Countblanc posted:the dragons are insane psycho morons who continue a war off of a slight over a thousand years ago, because they all have brain parasites. The dragons' perspective made sense when you considered they had unlimited lifespans, and presumably may have predated other settlement in Eorzea. Nidhogg had gone around the bend but his perception was not the same as that of mortals as we understand them. I wonder why the Ascians never talked to them much?

Nessus posted:Perhaps everyone is poo poo and corrupt and everyone should die in agony. signed, Kefka They did talk to dragons. Tiamat talks about how she regrets summoning a pale imitation of the real Bahamut. As for why they didn't talk to Nidhogg's brood specifically, I assume Tiamat told her siblings how she got hosed over. Lot harder to forget "the cackling guys in dark robes and stupid masks are Bad News" when you're nigh-on immortal.

Squadron Copperbell HM was merely annoying. Pharos Sirius as a DPS with a squadron was rage enducing because of how bad the AI is at handling the first two bosses.
