Let's go back to just before HW when all we had to go on AST was a really sketchy translation of a live letter and everyone thought one of the cards would just be actively detrimental to whoever you gave it to.

Today I got Fake Anime Married. Never thought I would and definitely never expected that turn out. I remember when I finally caught up in HW, I hit a serious lull. I had a time where I was just logging on to run a roulette or two and then logging out. I unsubbed at some point. The problem was that even though I was in DGKK and playing an MMO, I didn't have any friends. So when Stormblood came out, I made it a point to change that.   Mission accomplished. Thanks to everybody who came!

Had a dilemma come up earlier trying to tank Orbonne semi-blind earlier in 375 gear: I kept getting passed by a 400 SAM unless I stayed permanently in Grit (because the other, presumably better geared, tanks--including the one in the party of the SAM in question--couldn't be arsed to provoke  ). If you're not making GBS threads out enough enmity for it to not matter, what's the best way to hold on as DRK: get into and out of Grit, Power Slashes, or even PSes with Dark Arts?

Open with a DA Plunge and get 1 or two DA'd Power Slashes in before turning off Grit to build a lead. Always DA your Plunge (every 30 seconds) to keep your lead. If the issue is actually that the i400 SAM isn't popping diversion or merciful eyes, you can let him tank for a hot second and take care of the problem that way.Power Slash posted:Delivers an attack with a potency of 100.

You have to assume: Both other tanks are incapable and/or asleep DPS will never use threat tools on purpose Gonna have to suck it on and stay in Grit. A SAM or BLM with 25 ilvls on you is going to overtake you otherwise. Once you open with a DA power slash or 2 you probably have enough of a lead to just do your Souleater combos. It's easier when big threat is in your party, but you can't really gauge what they're doing in other parties. Or just let the SAM die.

At some point, you either gotta let them die so that they use their god-given Diversion and/or Third Eye, or say in chat that you need someone else to tank.

In general it's an ok idea to stay in tank stance for current 24 mans if you're main tanking since usually the tank busters are quite tank-busty. Especially when you're not far off from minimum ilvl.

the basic bitch ez mode threat opener for dark knight is dark arts, unmend, plunge, dark arts power slash combo twice. from there you can feel free to drop grit and get your dps on. always dark arts plunge on cooldown. always dark arts carve and spit on cooldown. don’t be afraid to dark arts more power slashes for comfort if the fights going on long enough. if it still takes you considerable effort to stay ahead on threat at that point you should probably just stay in grit for the fight tbh

Point of order: I ran Orbonne today as a 400 sam and even with using Diversion on CD I managed to rip hate away on Cid 3/4 of the way through the fight and rode pretty high on the first two bosses. Sometimes the tanks are just real bad. Still not as bad as when MT goes down during Ultima phase 2 and I am suddenly tanking. Do you understand just how much hate I'm able to dump using Merciful Eye during Ultimate Illusion? How are all 23 of you so goddamn terrible at this game that I overtook you again?

Kwyndig posted:Cards are needlessly complicated since there's only one universally good card. It's more that they created a complex, versatile card system without completely realizing the limitations of the battle system at the time. Past a certain point, additional mitigation/resource regen becomes useless, and tightly scripted encounters means that you're never creatively thinking about if you can use card X in situation Y; you know in advance what the optimal card is, and you'll draw forever until you get it. The only point of real decision-making is whether you want to risk Redraw if you've got Spear and are trying to get a Balance. There's absolutely ways they can improve the card system, but it'd require a large shift in power away from cards and back towards the class as a whole, and that would require a a comprehensive reform of their healing paradigm to ensure that you actually want to take an AST along for reasons other than Balance. I'm hopeful we'll get something in May, since the overall flow of the class is otherwise fantastic.

Sometimes the tanks are just real bad. On Cid it doesn't matter and if the tank has the ilvl/healers to survive a fully-debuffed Crush Helm they can sit in DPS stance nearly the entire fight (switching for the add phase.) First boss there's no excuse, second boss can be weird because of Cleansing Strike.

Also, looking through the skills, Monks are also all in kanji (except Mantra), Scholars have really long kanji skill names that got turned into Latin I guess, and Black mages have Faira and Faiga and Faija and that's really funny to me.

I'm almost free from this game (until Shadowbringers) Leveled all jobs, completed every sidequest (except big fishing, I'll save that for SB2), got all the sightseeing spots, cleared Eureka & BA. Only thing left uncomplete is my quest to get all the "Craft X unique recipes" achivements, but I'm on track to finish that in a couple of weeks.

Countblanc posted:Tbh the easiest "fix" for cards is to remove balance and spear entirely. I was thinking the same thing last night. If you wanted to do away with DPS-boosting cards entirely, you could make Arrow into a short duration speed boost, like an in-combat Peloton. The biggest issue is that they went hog wild on gameplay-story integration with the card system, so it's effectively impossible to excise any cards from the current selection without it feeling bizarre. Probably the simplest thing to do is to compress the effects down into three reasonably strong non-DPS utility effects (resource regen, speed boost, damage reduction) and have two cards share one effect for each of the utility effects. If you want to preserve the damage boost of Balance as a part of the class, you could turn it into a reasonably long cooldown effect that consumes your Draw and Spread or whatever. Again, this is all contingent on them actually changing around the healing paradigm so that AST doesn't get instantly screwed by the loss of the one compelling reason to take them along over WHM.
