Well, his logic at that point is pretty clearly ”I want a great fight where I might actually die” so it was probably the best course of action with that goal in mind.

I was just in a dungeon with a summoner who didn't seem to do anything but stand around. Until i figured out his deal. He only used instant cast spells. Throw Bio2 on a mob, then just Ruin2 on repeat. Whenever swiftcast was up, he'd occasionally thro out a Miasma, too. Not if it wasn't instant tho. Pet died? Well, too bad. guess the summoner will not actually resummon his pet unless his swiftcast is up and he doesn't have to use it on miasma. He didn't even move around a lot. Just moved into position during pulls, then stood there. Not a single non-instant cast for the entirety of the dungeon.

Either Aurum Vale or Dzemael, they kinda blur together for me. Sure, Ruin 1 and 2 don't really differ aside from mana cost at that level, but that doesn't excuse rarely using miasma or missing out on your pet for 3 fights in a row when you stand still 90% of the time anyways.

Foxhound posted:I bought the ARR skip potion once I had killed Ultima Weapon and checked how many quests were actually left before I could move on to HW. I used the book in the inn to read up on the last events that happened before you're whisked off to Ishgard and had no problems at all with following the story when it was revisited in late HW/SB. That's fair. I'm actually a little curious after saying that how hard it would be for people to jump in to the story past Heavensward, since it has a lot more character development moments than 2.X does. I don't think it'd be impossible to read a synopsis of 2.X/3.X, jump straight into Stormblood, and still enjoy the story, but I can imagine someone who just read the synopsis not completely getting certain subtleties (like why Alphinaud's an overprotective doofus when it comes to Alisaie). Still, I got dropped into the Discworld series by reading the sixth or seventh book in the Watch series and managed to enjoy the book immensely, so it might not be impossible.

(this is only a moderate exaggeration, the 70 SMN rotation is extremely heavy on instant casts to the point of ignoring Ruin III outside of Dreadwyrm a lot of the time) (note that I’m bad at SMN)

That's pretty much where I'm at. Level 56 and just getting into 2.X stuff. I'll probably be waaaaay overleveled for HW, but whatever.

Solo Wing Pixy posted:don’t doxx me, this is how you’re supposed to play Summoner at level 70. You only ever default to Ruin II in the Bahamut phase. Otherwise you want as many Ruin IIIs as possible with the bare minimum of Ruin IIs necessary to burn your Aetherflow stacks. If you're lucky you proc Ruin IV often enough that you can use your other oGCDs without a DPS loss. A charitable guess is that the SMN we're talking about was used to the pre-SB days where Ruin II was objectively better than Ruin III and hadn't bothered to check their tooltips since 4.05 or 4.1 or wherever they changed that.

P-Mack posted:I just switched to rdm when I started HW so I'd be at 50 again. That's my plan, only with samurai. I ended up deciding to play black mage through ARR, because I figure it pays to have a ranged option on tap and it feels pretty similar to my arcane mage in WoW. The low level dungeon queue is not as bad as I feared.

The only thing I kinda wish I had actually known about was Alphinaud's B-team in Mor Dhona, it caught me off-guard when it was referenced. Aside from that the only Scions I actually find interesting at all is Urianger and Krile. For the rest you can kinda figure out what personality type they are after the first three times you see them and can subsequently predict for the rest of their appearances. Krile I like because of her outfit.

Almost thought that post was referring to me as I forgot for a while that my pet died in Stone Vigil on the first boss (it was late and I was tired) until I noticed I couldn't Rouse. Also I use Miasma, and I refresh my DoTs a little too much, so then I figured it wasn't. I just hit 50 in the (really stupid and unnecessary) lead up to Garuda and switched to RDM anyways.

Rainuwastaken posted:Why is that, again? Aside from being her brother (and her being near-grievously wounded by Fordola), Stormblood shows the more negative aspect of Alphinaud's character development from Heavensward: he's way more self-sacrificial and on the front lines, but he's also more unwilling to try and get help from others. He's trying to shoulder too much of the burden, which is why he effectively tells Alisaie (who's more than capable of handling herself) to stand back and let him take care of things, why he swan dives into the ocean ahead of everyone else, and why he bumbles into purchasing Gosetsu's katana for an outrageous sum instead of getting Tataru, Eorzea's best haggler, to help him. It's a different kind of arrogance from 2.X, but it's arrogance nonetheless.

Hyper Inferno posted:Random thought. Are there any NPCs in Othard that reference the Calamity? I can't remember anyone specifically. Remember, the Calamity heavily damaged Aldenard (the continent that Eorzea is on), probably had some influence in Ilsabard (the continent that the Garlean Empire mostly controls) and from all accounts didn't really change much in Othard due to geographic distance. Aetherically it was a big deal since the entire planet shares the same Lifestream and aether, but the distance means most Othardian people probably weren't affected.

I don't remember any NPCs in Othard talking about the Calamity. There are also no giant masses of corrupted crystals over there so it likely never touched them directly (there aren't any in Ala Mhigo either so the destruction didn't get much past the Black Shroud). Bahamut was only active for a couple of minutes before he got Louisoix'd.

Gutting the post-ARR MSQs gets a massive thumbs up from me. The person with a level 56 bard and 54 Samurai who still hasn’t made it to HW quests. I’ve actually not logged in for the last couple of days because they feel like filler and have very little reward other than “you’re getting closer to proper content again”. It’s very soul destroying. *edit* if there was the ability for me to level other jobs on the 2.x content without having to go back and do levequests to level to 50, I would maybe be more interested.
