BRD aoe question: should I just be spamming my aoe move at 4+ mobs instead of trying to spread dots? And in an aoe fight, is it worth putting up any dots at all, to fish for repertoire, or are the benefits of that not worth it compared to getting off another aoe blast with my gcd? I tried figuring out the math on my own, but then I quit

SwissArmyDruid posted:DRG rotation is Connect Four. (And then Connect Five.) And then you just weave in oGCDs. The oGCD bit is also generally fairly relaxed, except the opener where you have to weave all 10, or 11 if you're potioning oGCD's inside I want to say 8 GCD's? Ainsley McTree posted:BRD aoe question: should I just be spamming my aoe move at 4+ mobs instead of trying to spread dots? For trash you go Mages > Army > Wanderer and cut Wanderer's off after 20 second to go back to mages ideally. You want 6 instances of a dot out to basically guarantee a proc every tick and just go hog loving wild. Most of your time under mages is spent dotting poo poo up and spamming Rain of Death. So yes use dots. Always use dots. Literally the only time it's not worth using dots is if the target dies in like 3 GCD's Bolow fucked around with this message at 16:57 on Mar 6, 2018 |

ParliamentOfDogs posted:They should host a one on one pvp tournament of all the players up for bans for using the ungarmax thing. Split it up by role, stream it, and the winners get to keep their accounts. The rest are banned and their parents will receive a call from naoki yoshida himself who will explain the shameful things that they’ve done. How about they develop software like wow's warden to catch botters without having to be reported and do this to them instead. They are far more detrimental to the game then a dude in some static I don't even know using a bug to not even kill what he was using it on. But that's too difficult for them(SE) and we give them a pass because?!?! The fact you can't be caught botting unless reported manually by a player is loving laughable in a game of this size.

Oxygen Deficiency posted:*swoops into thread When I was (briefly) doing savage progression on my WHM I was using a controller with no problems, you usually have enough time to pick the right person between spell casts, and 90% of progression healing is aoe bombing anyway and that doesn't even need a target.

Lately, when I'm done doing my casual chores in the morning before work, I've been heading to an inn, depositing new glamours in the dresser, then using the bed to log out. It adds a nice little sense of closure to a play session. Now I kinda want them to let you do that in your house/apartment/private room.

Losers should keep their accounts, but they would be instantly queued for Aurum Vale once they log in and they should be stripped of all glamours. Thank god we don't live in a hell world where this is allowed.

I found that out the hard way after dropping 75k on a nice bed. Do you earn more Rested status from inns or is there no difference between it and just logging out in a sanctuary?

It feels so wild that you can sleep on the bed to quit out of the game. Like a full quit-to-desktop, not just back to menu or something. Does it quit to menu or system on PS4?

I think it throws you to the launcher on PS4. Don't quote me on that though, because I usually just hit standby without bothering to log out at all when I play on PS4. Sometimes it doesn't ask me to log back in when I go into standby, which I always think is a bit strange.

If your sleep on the bed it'll ask if you want to sign out back to the FFXIV start screen or exit the game entirely. The only way to see the launcher is by opening it from the PS4 menu.

I just checked and exiting the game outside of the inn or at the inn will boot me to the launcher (not the PS4 menu). Might depend on your PS4 settings?

IMO it would be neat if inns gave an extra bonus, like increasing the cap or the rate the bonus accumulates or something. I understand if they don't, though.

Hra Mormo posted:It's also highly dependant on how hard the other jobs get hosed by having to move, which won't affect a good bard at all. Some movement heavy fights this is enough for bard to climb to the middle of the pack in average parsing. This is a really good point that I should have mentioned! BRD doesn't have to worry nearly to the extent other jobs do about uptime, we can move and not lose anything in our rotation - in theory. This can take some practice! I'm still going to be bitter about that piercing debuff though

DizzyBum posted:There's no difference between inns and other sanctuary locations. So way, way back when this game was bad, the inn actually was the only place you accumulated rested bonus. Gradually they expanded this to the city zones, then even later out to the camps around each aetheryte and the housing zones.

It has an open window looking out into a garden that has fireflies at night  Of course I never had a reason to check it out before the glamour toilet was added because the inn rooms are kind of redundant to anybody who has access to an FC house.

So last night I dinged 70 on AST, and figured I’d drag it into Sigmascape normal as preparation for raiding tonight. Was quite concerned - I know WHM inside and out, but I hadn’t even done the 70 job quest yet!   Sleeve Draw is pretty cool, btw.

EponymousMrYar posted:I'd argue that RDM is simpler than BLM rotations simply because it's more forgiving for movement and even if you mess it up it doesn't take much to correct your White/Black mana levels to where they need to be. Yeah as a BLM main I would absolutely say that RDM is easier to be competent at.

Red Mage's skill floor is so much higher than most DPS it's crazy. It's definitely the easiest DPS to preform decently at, and probably has the smallest gap between "just press buttons, whatever, who cares" and "optimal rotation".

There is a few nuances to RDM rotation, but otherwise it's really hard to screw up really badly... For example if you get really lucky on VerFire/VerStone Ready procs you may have to ignore one of them to keep balanced.

Can't build Shiro houses in the Mist, or Glade houses in the Oasis. There's effectively glamour prism you can put on top of that, like the Paissa and Carbuncle houses. You can also mix and match doors/windows/roof as long as it's within that specific region. Decorations aren't region restricted except I think fences?

The changes to triple triad NPCs in 4.2 has been a blessing and a curse. I love that I know who everyone is and whether they have cards to give, but I hate knowing that they have cards to give that I can't get because gently caress you Vorsaile Heuloix, just drop the loving Kan-E card already. I can reliably beat you every time with 5 Garleans thanks to Ascension so just hand it over, already.
