Lots of running around to avoid the AoE so I'm sure that would have sucked as a black mage.

Leal posted:I like how Marcelain, the Ishgard Knight at the gates, has all his dialogue changing throughout the game. When you first show up to Coerthas he is all snooty as to be expected, when Ishgard comes under attack his dialogue is more panicked and how he can't be bothered, after doing Steps he is far more positive and thinks you should be allowed into the city, and is joyous when you are allowed into Ishgard. Not only is his introduction dialogue changed, but the "what do you do here" and "what is this place" dialogue all changes in each instance. Wow, and this continues after Final Steps of Faith. I wish I left the area and talked to him before completing it. He then calls you Warrior of Warriors. E: Its in stark contrast for the NPC to his left, that you talk to to enter Ishgard. He will always say "Ah yes, the ward" Mother gently caress this ward revolutionized your entire country's system! Leal fucked around with this message at 23:18 on Aug 17, 2018 |

This is the issue I run into. Every time I try being ~optimal~ I gently caress things up frequently enough that I'm pretty sure it's not a gain overall. I'm just not the sort of person who can keep my focus/concentration long enough to reliably do that sort of thing.

I'm not really set on doing the whole grind myself; probably the biggest reason I want to do them is just to get to see all the quests (plus being able to craft equipment for alt jobs). gimme your ign, mine's phone number

Well, Dragoon armour looks really cool, and I didn't realise Marauder was a tank job. Time to experiment again! I'll get you eventually, Titan.

Safeword posted:Well, Dragoon armour looks really cool, and I didn't realise Marauder was a tank job. Time to experiment again! Yeah so the color behind your class symbol explains your Role. Green is healer, red DPS, blue tank. WAR/MRD however is basically just a DPS that has enough HP to tank hits. End game Marauder is about smashing out as many psychic buzz-saws as possible.

Well that's cool. And I do feel stupid for missing the colour - wasn't keen on Arms warrior in Wow, so assumed MRD was the same.

Warrior in 14 is one of (if not) the best class in the game, for one it has the most satisfying dps of all tanks once you unlock Fell cleave and Decimate and its the smoothest tank when it comes to dancing between dps and tanking role. As a tank it has the best aggro generation, solid easy to manage defensive cooldowns as well as good self healing. It doesn't play anything like warrior from WoW in how i remember that game. 10/10 would level warrior again.

The only thing I would contend here is the aggro generation, not 100% sure but I think since the 4.3 buffs, Dark Knight outclasses Warrior now. Otherwise Warrior is the perfect first timer tank, yeah.

Unchained isn't tied to Inner Release anymore so it might lag behind DRK a bit in aggro generation, but a butcher's block combo is still a shitload of threat

I play DRK and WAR both (a lot more DRK recently cause i want the armored achievement mount) and I do feel i always end up with a slightly bigger threat lead with warrior opener vs the dark knight one.

AngusPodgorny posted:Or you could be a bad player like me and skip weird optimizations like that. I don't do any raiding, so I prefer to settle on a straightforward rotation I can still do after a few beers, rather than aim for a perfect rotation I'd mess up half the time anyway. the pet swap gain is kinda small but there's no way that MNK rotation is only 4% behind

Sorry Phone, had to update the recruitment post, events warranted  Recruiting a healer for O8S prog - We're working on second Forsaken, but willing to teach the earlier fights. Having a DPS class raid-ready would be a bonus. We run Tuesday and Thursday, 7:30-10pm PST.

Not even in the dungeon specifically made by a monk to train monks that features a monk boss at the end.  SAM is mandatory though, if only for the final showdown of 4.0.

RME posted:the pet swap gain is kinda small but there's no way that MNK rotation is only 4% behind Another way to look at it is that since Demolish is already ticking either way, any dps loss comes from refreshing Demolish too often and only getting the 70 potency Demolish base instead of a 170 potency Snap Punch. Doing a perfect rotation would let me use Snap Punch 4 times every six combos instead of 3, so that's an extra 100 potency (less than one attack) every 18 attacks/36 seconds. Unless there's some even more complicated optimal rotation out there than: Dragon Kick - Twin Snakes - Demolish Bootshine - True Strike - Snap Punch Dragon Kick - Twin Snakes - Snap Punch Bootshine - True Strike - Demolish Dragon Kick - Twin Snakes - Snap Punch Booshine - True Strike - Snap Punch, repeat Which I don't know of, and I don't see what you could do without losing the buffs from Dragon Kick or Twin Snakes. This doesn't take into account things like making sure the Demolish lines up perfectly with Hypercharge / Trick Attack / whatever, but I'm never going to script out a fight that perfectly anyway. My adventuring consists more of clicking raid roulette and ending up with 3 black mages and a dragoon that casts Dragon Sight on the tank.
