Captain Oblivious posted:Yeah when people talk about WoW having the best MMO combat I'm baffled because it just feels like a bunch of weightless button mashing of very simplistic rotations to me. Even as someone who Heroic raided. Because that's exactly what it is, and BfA is the worst iteration of it in a long time. However, the core feel of it is very quick, responsive and intuitive. It feels right right off the bat for most people, where FFXIV starts out like molasses and especially in 2.0 was super stingy about giving you a Power Button that makes big numbers appear that make you feel strong. WoW combat would be objectively better, if all the classes weren't poo poo. The mechanical core is superior. FFXIV however builds into something that just resonates with me a lot better than WoW's current combat. It's no coincidence that Bard is simultaneously the most WoW-like job and the job I like the least because of it's mashy jankiness.

Magil Zeal posted:I'm kinda curious how parts of the Ivalice raid stories play out if you are playing a viera; they seem to assume you know nothing about viera culture. going through the 2.x msq as an au ra is already a treat, given how yugiri says to your character's face that she's wearing a hood and veil to hide her features because otherwise her kind is just too frightening and unsightly for eorzeans to handle  anyway, speaking of frightening and unsightly lizards: I know there are at least a few other goons on balmung, so I thought I'd extend an invitation to the eternal bonding ceremony my friend and I are finally doing with our characters, just in time for ShB!!  the ceremony will commence on Saturday, June 22 at 5pm EDT! this is balmung so of course there may be some light RP going on, but it's not at all mandatory! just please be respectful and don't harass or grief anyone who does RP (and by that same token, ERP and other public trashiness will also not be tolerated). aside from that, all are welcome, even if you just want the free wedding swag!! feel free to send a tell to Bala Qestir if you happen to catch me online over the weekend, or just show up at the sanctuary a little before starting time and I'll be around to pass out invites!

Pretty hyped for pvp crafting and gathering with the ishgard restoration. Hopefully they show some details in the liveletter as I’m interested to see how they’re going to do rankings for that content. Having server based progression is a really cool idea too, we need more content like that especially with world visit.

Personally I'm hoping for more tiered rewards rather than going by strict player-versus-player ranking. It's not the system I would want I don't think as someone who likes DoH/DoL but prefers to keep it pretty casual, but we'll see how it goes.

Cause she got murdered.

UHD posted:I already get those since I’ve completely stopped casting it at the start of dungeons I forgot to rebuff a guy who died in a levelling roulette with protect and eventually his tank friend clicked off his own protect and just stood there until I rebuffed. It's not like protect is going to save your friend from standing in all the AOE.

So apparently Lucid Dreaming's been nerfed as of the E3 build, down to 50 potency from 80, which is an, uh, "interesting" design choice.

Considering most MP-using classes are going to have less max MP in ShB than they do now, and that Lucid Dreaming's CD was down to 60 seconds as of the media tour build, it's entirely possible that's still going to be a net gain in terms of mana economy over what we have now.

People playing healers on the build were already saying its hosed, especially without energy drain/etherflow changes/ewer/whatever.

That's not too surprising on a normal Trial with level-appropriate gear with 7 other random people doing questionable DPS. However, I also wouldn't be surprised if they adjusted mana costs for AST DPS actions once it hits live, since they're the only job that doesn't have additional mana restoration like SCH/WHM. You could also make Draw restore a proportionally smaller percentage of mana and have it meet the mana restoration of WHM/SCH over time when Sleeve Draw is used in conjunction with it.

Supposedly the gear was pentamelded crafted gear, since the day one clear rates were like, 20% (with unmelded gear. i399, apparently.)

Yeah, my main concern is that, as pretty much every SCH main predicted, the loss of Energy Drain makes Aetherflow clunky as hell, since you now have to waste Lustrates before it comes off cooldown.

Enhanced Sacred Soil is apparently quite strong, so it'll likely be the main spender you drop down when you're not under pressure to use Lustrate/Indom.

The catch there is that we don't get Enhanced Soil until 78, which is a really long time for a mechanic to feel bad. Also getting people to actually stand in Sacred Soil.

Failboattootoot posted:All I am hearing is piety is going to be a relevant stat finally. Funny enough, it gives the same amount of regen but since it no longer gives you a larger starting mana pool or boost the effect of things like aetherflow, it's inarguably worse than before. The only way healers stack it is if they literally cannot cast DPS spells to the end of an encounter without it, yeah.
