So how should I go from 60-61? Can't do HoH til 61 and POTD gives less exp for a 60 than a 59.

Roulettes, FATEs (the Exp+ ones notably), and any SB sidequests you haven't done, they give like 100k~ exp.

I'm pretty sure he picks which direction along the line he's going to charge at random, but I might just be misremembering. I always just watch him and haul rear end in the direction his rear end is pointing once he properly orients for the charge.

Great Gubal Library (Normal) is the best EXP dungeon-wise at that level, if you don't have access to leveling roulette's bonus. Also make sure to abuse the daily Ishgard hunts, particularly the level 3 stack of hunts since they give the most EXP.

Don't you need to be 63 minimum to do HoH since I'm pretty sure the quest that unlocks it doesn't pop up until you finish the Ruby Sea stretch of the MSQ?

Can't confirm until the servers are back up, but I think it's supposed to be a chiptune version of Pa-Paya going by the Chinese trailer for it a while back.

edit: it is not Pa-paya. It's Merry Wanderer Waltz from PoTD. Same as the carbuncle and whale, I think.

Okay, but: Regen. That's like a giant blinking sign saying "slap this on the tank and go DPS", I don't know how people could miss that.
So I was tanking Sohm Al for the first time and like I'm in on-level HQ gear on Paladin, but the first pull I'm feeling I'm dying oddly fast even though I've popped cooldowns and am in Shield Oath. The White Mage (who is in up to level 68 dungeon gear, so they couldn't have solely used a skip book) finally casts a spell on me at about 20% health - Regen. It's the first thing they've cast in the dungeon. Then they start casting Aero on the enemies. I try putting up everything else and using a potion, but I still fall to auto-attacks on the first pull. It's not a huge pull, just the first two packs (with a sprout Red Mage doing single target rotations). The OTHER Red Mage figured what's what and starting Vercuring me and we managed to barely scrape through the whole dungeon that way. I did eventually get a few Cures from the White Mage (just Cure, nothing higher), but otherwise they didn't do much but Aero and Regen when I was entering critical health. I tried asking what was up but didn't get any response.

I sure am glad Regen is all the healing a White Mage needs to use. :shepface:

A regen at the beginning of a pull when the tank has aggro is usually enough, depending on the dungeon. Did this white mage know that holy also doubles as a defensive ability?

tl;dr of google translate: they are making more content like it, they plan to buff the support fate, the portal keys are getting cheaper, portals from support fate will probably be blue instead of instant red, they're changing ovni to make portals spawn a few minutes after he dies, feedback is very different betwee NA/EU and JP forums (likely related to NA/EU clearing it 'easily' with premades and discord and the JP preference for pugging getting kind of hosed due to how BA is designed), also he mentions that the content was inspired by wizardy and d2 hardcore.

I've started to use Devine Benison a lot more on pulls, too. Tank grabs first pack, Benison, keep running after them, regen when all the things are grabbed, quick cast holy and then holy spam, assize, tetra/bene as needed (or cure 2's if those are on cooldown)

If quickcast is down, do thinair+PoM for holy spam.

It's been serving me well, but goddamn do I get hosed up when I enter sub 50 dungeons.

He always jumps the way he is facing. So you always go behind him and then left or right depending on which way the aoe is rotating

Unfortunately he can jump either north or south. We had more trouble with archive all than we did with HW2.

Yeah, the primary use of benison is to keep the tank healthy during a big pull, the secondary use is against tankbusters. I do the same in dungeons, benison during the start, then regen and tetra as needed. Swiftcast holy, thin air, presence, holy holy holy holy, etc. Healers don’t seem to get commends anymore, but sometimes if I push the holy button enough someone will give me one. It does not matter how many times you rezz people, only how many times you holy.
