If I level something else doing that, I’m not progressing to the HW content. If I wasn’t playing for the story then it’s a great option, but I want to keep progressing as I play.

But yeah despite of how many people claim it's fine and it will be faster/better once you're halfway through, the 2.x stretch is just pure trash and their current "uh, we'll let you... buy a skip option  " solution is insulting.

Nessus posted:I personally didn't find it that bad since most of the quests amounts to "go here, talk to a guy, eventually there is a trial or something." I enjoyed the story, which is obviously subjective. Some of the story and characterisation is good. Some of the chain being, go to this cave, now travel half the zone to another cave kill 5 mobs, return to first cave. Not particularly satisfying. *edit* RDM unlocked, I’ll level a WHM and roulette that to 50 I guess. Which should happen before I hit HW content.

OgretailFood posted:jump to my death apparently, I actually killed myself on accident Reminds me of back when Titan Extreme was current and a friend of mine, dragoon at the time, was running it with me. At several points, of course, there was Weight of the Land to dodge. At one of those times he found himself in the middle of a very big mess of those, so he Elusive Jumped out of them. And to his credit, he did not get hit with Weight of the Land. However, he also did not get hit with the platform when landing, either, as he gracefully sailed over the heads of all the tanks and melees and went right over the edge in front of Titan.

Black Mage takes off when you get Flare. From there the curve is "how many Flares can I reliably cast in a row?"

SonicRulez posted:Raid update: The clown is a dick. Started progging Kefaust tonight, can confirm. Die Sexmonster! posted:Congratulations! O7S is easier than 3, I think you'll have a good time. Can also confirm this. O7S is a lot slower-paced than O3S, the add phases and healer checks are nowhere near as rough, and the mechanics are (mostly) pretty visually clear. The DPS check is probably a bit tighter, but it's still not super-tough especially since most people will have i355-370 gear in most of their slots by now. Also, I hung up my Plague Doctor's Coat in favor of something a bit simpler, at least for a little while.   And, uh, got video game engaged.  If any Balgoons want an invitation, it's at 8:00 PM Central on the 13th!

The hardest part of O7S is that your static Dragoon and Paladin will hit at least one missle per pull and it all comes down to when they do it and if they clip someone else with it.

It always looks like I might be able to get away without using any of my oGCDs, but one tick of the damage boosted auto is gonna kill me. So I inevitably end up hitting Jugulate or Bhavacakra on a stupid plane.

My static has an open spot for a non-Summoner ranged DPS, and while the leader would probably like someone with a 7 clear, I could at least talk them into giving you a tryout (and probably a clear) on it.

Those recent logs are quite fine, considering that I'm usually stuck somewhere between high green and low blue percentiles on SMN. The bigger issue is that I got mixed up and we need a melee and not a ranged, unless our BRD feels like switching to a different job or I can  on NIN*. If you have any melee jobs at 70 and feel like you could raid on them, that'd be awesome. I don't think too much would be expected, since we're looking to be casual-but-competent; if you can hit green parses or even 20-25% that'd probably be fine, especially if you're gearing up. Otherwise I could definitely see if the person in charge wants to add you on as a sub or if they're crazy enough to go triple ranged.*gitting gud on NIN is never going to happen Solo Wing Pixy fucked around with this message at 21:05 on May 6, 2018 |

My friend, Edda isn't even remotely close to a real boss. She does punish the entire party heavily if one person is unwilling or unable to move out of the AoEs though, which is unfun for black mages.

Edda is probably the hardest boss of the first 100 PotD bosses, but she's still pretty easy. Assuming your party knows to not look at gaze markers and can dodge AOE markers. Otherwise, she'll murder you violently.

Yeah, it's kind of jarring how she goes from "budding adventurer seeking fame and fortune" to "reanimated Necromancer that yearns to spill your blood for her undead master". Oh well.

Mr. Nice! posted:I take it you haven’t done tam tara hard mode yet. Go do that and make sure to read all the notes along the way. Its worth noting that Tam Tara HM happens before Palace of the Dead, but most newer players will run PotD to 50+ long before they do the old level 50 dungeons. So in that sense her showing up is kind of a weird swerve.
