Fat_Cow posted:I was told there is an easy way to get a DoH class from 15-50 just by spamming Quick Synthesis instead of using levekits? How do I go about that? Find a really easy craft near your level, do it once, go get some XP boosters (through grand company seals) and food, buy like 99 of that material to craft, slam on quick synthesis, go make a cup of tea.

Be warned. Check the price of shards first before you commit to this because it can quickly bleed you. For a while I was noticing people chomping up small stacks and then relisting them for a huge mark up. Givin fucked around with this message at 09:57 on Jun 22, 2019 |

So in the case of Leatherworking, which is level 15 right now. I should just spam an item which is around 15? and then after the 99 crafts I'll just pick up where I end up?

Keep in mind only the right side (+ belt) yellow scrip gear is desynthable, so that's LTW GSM and..maybe one of the acc is CRP? I dont remember.

Zack Ater posted:The dissention in the replies was because there are some spells that at first glance seem like they should be upgrades, but actually aren't. The Cure spells are an example of such. Cure 1 heals less but is more MP efficient; Cure 2 heals more but is very MP inefficient; Cure 3 is an AoE heal. You shouldn't take off Cure 1 when you get Cure 2, they fill different niches. I've been levelling my WHM, and maybe I'm doing it wrong, but I almost never use Cure 1. When a DPS is a little hurt I put a regen on them, it'll cover the damage + be around for the next fuckup they're inevitably going to make. For the tank I exclusively use Cure 2. It's less MP efficient, but more GCD efficient. The less GCDs I spend on healing, the better. Not like I'll run out of MP anyway, when not spamming holy.

The Hunt, eh. I've been doing it for 290-320, but been finding it slow on daily hunts and B-ranks. Is the A-/S-rank thing still going on? I've never really done that.

Get into a hunt linkshell and you'll find people doing hunts all the time. I've killed more S-ranks in the last month since being invited into an LS than I have in the years prior of playing.

When a DPS is a little hurt I put a regen on them, it'll cover the damage + be around for the next fuckup they're inevitably going to make. I find that unless a DPS is routinely standing in stuff they shouldn't, then cure 1 tends to work out better than a hot because for the most part the hot does a lot of over healing. I suppose it doesn't really matter that much in dungeons where your MP shouldn't be as much of an issue though.

In dungeons i suspect economy of gcds is more important than mana economy because more rocks means less healing needed because they die faster. Do not take this as informed opnion.

You absolutely want to minimize GCD heals, yeah. Cure 1's niche imo is situations where you're going to have to be wasting a lot of GCDs on single-target healing for some reason - like the tank's woefully undergeared - or if you just got rezzed and your MP management buttons are on cooldown or you're synced too low for them, stuff like that. It's not a large niche, but it's significant enough to keep Cure 1 on your bar. Cure 2 is much more generally useful, but not to the point of removing Cure 1 entirely.

It's this weird loving Elixir syndrome where every resource has to be saved until it's absolutely necessary. I've seen it with LBs, usually caster on trash, but I've had tanks get pissy if I used Benediction or healers get annoyed if use Hallowed Ground on trash.

The worst I've seen this is when someone got Real Mad at me for using one of those dinosaur pomanders in a 51-60 POTD run when we were in a room with like 12 mobs in it and I just wanted to clear it fast. "We might need it later, you're an idiot, i demand optimal play for my 51-60 runs" etc. Fast forward to a few minutes later when me and the other cool guy in the party were standing at the open exit to the floor while the jerk and his jerk friend needlessly rushed into a dead end room full of enemies

Verranicus posted:Can someone explain the RDM changes to me like I'm an idiot? What's different about the rotation? AoE is now like single target, you alternate Verthunder II / Veraero II (fast casts) with Scatter (slow cast, upgrades to Impact later on) instead of just spamming Scatter. Enchanted Moulinet is 20/20 mana instead of 30/30. Single target is basically identical but you press the Scorch button (which replaces Jolt II after Verholy/flare) which gives iirc 5/5 mana. Reprise isn't used in your standard rotation, iirc The Balance discord says it looks like you'll only really use it for delaying your melee combo if necessary or as a last resort for movement

If the numbers stay the same as the April build we saw it will be used very sparingly, but those might change - it really depends on if SE designed it to be a galaxy brain minmax tool for people with brain worms like me to optimize and otherwise mostly ignore, or if it's supposed to be used somewhat regularly. Or if it's just RDM Scathe

This is why I always do dungeons as WHM, so the only communication I have with the party is <refresh> or <mana shift> when I need to holy more. wrt limit breaks it also means I can do a significant number of passive aggressive Healing Winds when the dps limps to the end with a full bar.

BTW if anyone is looking to get into raiding for Shadowbringers, I've got a brand new static that is forming and we're looking for a melee dps to fill our last slot (though we can be a little flexible with the role). Right now our tentative schedule is Mondays and Fridays starting at 9pm Eastern. No raid experience necessary, we have a few fresh newbies but also some former hardcore veterans. If you're interested, send me a PM!

Yeah, these people are aggressively stupid. Every boss is a pushover anyway, you don't need LB for it. And using a caster LB on a big trash pack is objectively the most bang for your buck. And even if it wasn't, kicking someone for using an LB at the wrong time is such pathetic petty poo poo. What a bunch of trash people.

I got kicked once from Hell's Lid as a RDM cause the healer died on the first boss, and I tunneled a bit and didn't notice they were dead until we won. We cleared it fine, but they sarcastically said "Thanks for the quick raise", and I gave a sarcastic "no problem." The group then stood around doing laughing and waving emotes until they could kick me. People can be real weird.
