I've been looking to get into a BA run for a while now (so far I've only managed a short jaunt in which I survived by not being an idiot when the rest of my party charged blindly forward into trash mobs like this was The Burn), but I have absolutely no desire to use voice comms. I have to believe this is possible, given the dungeon itself is theoretically made to be puggable. What has been other people's experiences with non-preform, non-voice comms BA runs?

Hey goons, I'm trying to organize a weekly EX primal clear group with goons. I made a sign up sheet for the sake of interest/attendance check. Come join me attempting Tsukuyomi EX coming Saturday! https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1fQ-yQGhBW6bQmRa1Jieg6kqzR_0Hd__25pMRe7Fo2IQ/edit#gid=0

Had a little success with it so far, but yeah, it does seem difficult to get groups excited about it on the outside.

I'm on a free trial, but I can upgrade and get ARR through the twitch starter edition. If I then preorder shadowbringers will I have access to all of the previous expansions?

Disaster! It turns out that I made a huge, stupid oversight in the compilation of this BLM theorycraft post: as of some patch or other, Fire IV's base cast time is 2.8 seconds, not 3 seconds! This calls all the following math into question so I want to go through it using the new numbers and see if anything changes. Corrections in bold:Ferrinus posted:While I'm on a kick, something I've been wondering about is if it's worth it to use Triplecast to sneak an extra Flare into astral phase. Specifically, if you get a mana tick between Blizzard IV and Fire III, you'll start Astral phase with 14880 mp, and end it with like ~1300mp... which is enough to cast Flare. Which means if you save Triplecast, which I normally use to just make three F4s cast faster, for the very end, you could do Triple -> Flare -> Transpose, Foul, Blizzard III and not lose any time to mana ticks or hardcast long spells or anything. So, looks like it's still true that if you have a mind to spend your instacasts on dps rather than movement, you should be using them on Fires IV rather than on cheated-in Flares. Thanks for coming on this journey with me, everyone.

I got the ones from the last preorder and it was so worth it. Yeah, buying the current expansions now seems like a waste of money. Oh well, it's not like I'll get much past 50 with any one class by the time the expansion is out anyway and that earring could come in handy with all of the jobs that I'll likely try out.

Anyone know when the end of preorder is? I'd rather wait until we get more news on viera before committing but if I gotta get my purchase in before 3/1, well, y'know.

Re: cleric stance, I really liked the 5 second cooldown because it meant I had to actually know what I was doing before hitting the button, since 5 seconds can easily kill someone in this game. I hope they add something like it to a healer class eventually. Preferably sch so I can keep the fairy.

I appreciated cleric stance when I started playing the game but I got more and more tired of it the better I got at managing it. If they really want to make healer damage more difficult or weighty they should give healers real attack rotations besides keeping their dots going and pressing the 1 button.

There are situations where you absolutely have to spam a few of your big heals in order for the group to survive, and there are situations where between eos and maybe some off-gcd skills, there's literally no real healing needed, so I don't think combos would work out too well.Ferrinus posted:I appreciated cleric stance when I started playing the game but I got more and more tired of it the better I got at managing it.

Personally, the more I played with CS, the more I liked it. Also, I quit the game for about half a year between 4.3 and 4.5, and when I came back I found myself mashing my cleric stance button when switching between dps/healing lmao. Muscle memory is scary af

Make it run off of lillies or something, so white mages have something to juggle thats not just casting stone forever between dots and ogcds

Do RDM's white and black mana thing, but its using attack spells and heal spells and if you do too much of one it damages you.

I'd be interested if dancer has a sort of tempo mechanic. Like strengthening your attacks and heals by alternating them to keep your performance from getting stale.

I guess you could sort of replicate cleric stance by giving healers risky/overload/whatever attack spells that do much more damage but tank your healing abilities for the next ~two GCDs if you so much as start casting them, such that you had to be sure that no desperately-needed healing was coming down the pipe for the next five seconds before really cutting loose, but that seems like it'd cause a lot more grief than it introduces interesting decisions.
