If Male Viera attack outsiders, it would fit in lore-wise with how Meracydians are deeply suspicious of outsiders. meracydia has not yet appeared on any maps, viera are so far as we know native to southern othard. plainsfolk lalafell are descended from migrants heading northward from meracydia's outlying islands, as I recall

In light of pre-ordering Gunblade Rabbits not immediately giving you access to HW and SB, would it be wise to resub and casually float through the rest of ARR until July? Furthest I got in the MSQ was around Titan? Is that enough available content to last those months?

Depends on how quickly you play, but... eh, not really. 2.x MSQ is maybe a month or so at a reasonable pace, starting from the beginning. 2.0-4.5 is a few months, though.

Yes, if you do the optional patch content and don't play 8 hours a day, which you should because it's some of the best in the game.

Can someone give me an idea of how I should be using my defensive cooldowns on WAR, especially on trash packs? The mobs in Bardam's hit hard. I think I have a good handle on the offensive side of things, but since the game just sort of hands them to you without comment I don't have a great idea of what defensive buttons to be hitting when. Looking at the various options I have available it seems like some are meant to be paired but I shouldn't be panic-popping them all at once. Like clearly I should be pairing Awareness and Raw Intuition, and there's no point in hitting Anticipation when Raw Intuition is up. Similarly I assume the damage reductions from Rampart and Vengeance don't stack so I shouldn't be using them at the same time. Is there a generally accepted order for which buttons to hit at the start of a big trash pull and when I should rotate in the rest of them? (I know that some of the answer is "don't big pull in leveling gear in Bardam's" but I'm assuming I'll need to know this sort of thing anyway when doing EXDR once I'm fully geared) jalapeno_dude fucked around with this message at 23:54 on Feb 6, 2019 |

I usually start big with Vengance, then use Rampart if I need to. BUt generally everything is dead before thats necessary. Also at 70 you have Inner Release so if youre not confident in the healer keeping you alive you can just steel cyclone for 10 seconds which will give you plenty of health (rather than the much cooler and more fun Decimate).

So pop vengeance early when you've got the majority of the dudes beating on you. Once that wears off if you still need more defense then use rampart. The more damage you can prevent during the biggest part of the pull means your healers have more room to AoE and burn them down faster

Is there a generally accepted order for which buttons to hit at the start of a big trash pull and when I should rotate in the rest of them? They do stack but they multiplicatively stack, IE you're not getting 50% damage reduction with both up, you're getting like 43.33% or something. In general you want to rotate your defensive CD's and use them in order of what you need them. For example, Vengeance is your biggest defensive CD and it deals damage as you get hit so you want to use it at the start of a big pull to get the most out of both aspects of it. Then you can use Rampart or Raw Intuition + Awareness depending on how many dudes are still up and how much damage you're taking. Then something weaker like Convalesence if you didn't use it with Vengeance or something else. It's the same principle for bosses although your balancing your defensive rotation around what tank buster the boss uses.

The reason there's no Garlean zones listed so far is that the 5.0 Eureka equivalent is Garlemald, it's mandatory, and mounting is not unlocked until elemental level 120. Garleans just think they can't just magic because their elemental levels aren't high enough to unlock aetheryte travel.

Between the description of the Onion Knight minion, the varios Azys Lla fish that mention finding it a bank of waving lalafell limbs, etc and the fact that Lalafell didn't start getting prominent in Eorzea until after the fall of Allag there's enough there there that you could make that case pretty easily if you wanted.

Fister Roboto posted:Waaaaaaaaay back in the day, the failed Warhammer MMO gave you the ability to designate an offensive target and a defensive target. All your offensive abilities would be targeted at the former, and buffs and heals would be targeted at the latter, and there were even some abilities that did both at once (deal X damage to your offensive target and heal your defensive target by Y). It was one of the best ideas that game had and I've never seen it implemented in others. EQ2 had smart targeting way back when. The way it worked was great: If you were targetting an enemy, your offensive actions would go to your target and your heals/buffs would go to the friendly that the enemy is targetting. If you were targetting a friendly, your heals/buffs would go to the friendly (your target) and your offensive actions would fire on the enemy your target was targetting. Yes, you can kind of duplicate this in FF14 with macros, except that FF14 macros are garbage to actually use and this really should be the default behavior.

It's a Koji meme because he loves him Lalafell bullying.  The Japanese descriptions don't mention a race other than "human", and I'm not sure they're planning on dividing the lore between regions. Though you're free to choose to believe whichever one because invariably, the Allagans were behind all of this.

I feel like once I hit lvl 70 there's low motivation to actually gear up since I can always just play on my better-geared RDM. Clearly, the only real solution is to make a alt in a new world.

RDM and BLM have the problem of favoring totally different substats. Mainly BLM wants all the spellspeed forever while RDM absolutely wants to avoid it at all costs. Actually SMN also doesn't really want to touch spellspeed so BLM is just a special snowflake child that's not very compatible with the others gear wise.

As someone who tries to keep classes up to date so I can do EXDR with them the problem isn't substats, it's weapons. They take the most effort to maintain ilvls with. And sure it's like 'just run alphascape 4 a few times and collect 1k of the old tomestone, that's not bad' but when you have 11-12 classes to do that for... That's a lot of alphascape 4 runs. And old tomestones. Most of my classes are still on ilvl 335 relics from when I did Anemos because that was pretty easy to get for them all
