So, as a new Scholar, what's the difference between these two faerie summons? It looks like they've got the same abilities all the way to 80.

Nidhogg is barely a character until the Heavensward patches. In the story proper he's just a dungeon boss until the big twist. He ends up being way more of a character than Thordin, granted

Note Block posted:Shaking my head at people that don’t like Zenos or Rak’Tika Greatwood I actually have to take back what I said about Rak'Tika. The second part of it is legit one of the best things I played in this game so far. Zeons still suck though. But I do have another thing to bitch about, and it's the lvl 74 tank role quest: I am supposed to go to eulmore when I am actually one the most wanted people in eulmore, which for me sounds like a really stupid idea and, worst, no one even acknowledges it. The story this expansion is just so good and it really doesn't deserve such a clumsy "co's videogames" storyline thrown in there to mess it up.

I decided to give healing a try in this game - for keyboard players do people use mouseover macros or anything to help speed up the mechanical part of getting the spell to go to the right target? Or just be real quick on F1-F8? Also, any UI tips?

A bunch of mounts have their own music, eventually you'll get a one that plays the FFVI main theme and to this day it's one of my favorite ones. Also, I can't remember how soon it comes after you get your chocobo, but eventually you'll be able to summon him to fight along side you. Which can be a big help while doing FATEs and stuff. a kitten fucked around with this message at 20:57 on Jul 17, 2019 |

Or just be real quick on F1-F8? I'm also curious about this as WHM is currently my highest class and I generally enjoy healing. The default party UI of "stack of tiny bars in the upper left corner" isn't really great and I can't imagine it being very effective beyond the brain-dead-simple starter dungeons. I made it a little bigger and moved it closer to the middle of the screen, but if there's anything else I can do I'd like to know. Basic stuff like highlighting when someone has a debuff I should be dispelling would be really nice, right now it seems like I just have to parse through all the buff icons next to someone's name to figure out if they're poisoned or whatever.

Can’t answer the UI stuff as I play with a controller (which works fine even for healing in case anyone was curious - just takes some getting used to), but regarding debuffs; they show up red and if they have a white line at the bottom of the icon it means you can Esuna it away. Just looking for that is enough to know you can or can’t deal with it.

All debuffs that can be dispelled have a blue line on top of them, and appear leftmost on the party window. All debuffs otherwise fill in the next leftmost, followed by buffs. There's no unit highlighting or anything like that though. I use my party window stock top left, but smarter, better people move it more central. The main thing I do UI wise, that everyone should do, it put a giant focus target / cast bar window right dead centre, so if the boss is doing something you have no excuse to miss it.

Curable debuffs should stick towards the front, and they've got a line under 'em. Eventually you learn the icons themselves and what enemies use the debuffs in question, so it becomes muscle memory. Admittedly a highlight toggle might help but overall you'll learn the consistent visual language.

I've leveled AST from 60 to 66 now through dungeons and I think I like the new card system! It's like I'm throwing out damage buffs like candy. Basically they revamped the entire card system, all cards now give a % up damage boost and half the cards go on melee whole the other half go on ranged. There's no more messing with buff durations, which also makes things a bit simpler (obviously because those spells are gonna go on Time Mage when they announce it  ) and instead you want to vary your cards to get different seals that you spend on Divination, a cooldown that increases damage for the whole party.I think there's room for tweaking, but overall I'm still having a blast

So I'm playing through the story again on a doofy catman and am wrapping up the end of the 2.x slog. I really hate that to make the story progress you have to have your wol walk into an obcious trap. And I actively don't care at all for the politics in Ul'Dah. And someone should have pointed out that a teenager leading an army is a poor choice. I'm so glad I know the story gets better, and fwiw 2.x goes a lot faster skipping most cutscenes. /rant

Ytlaya posted:DPS classes in FF14 seem to require a level of focus that is just impossible for me, at least to perform them efficiently in difficult encounters while also dealing with mechanics. I can more or less do things correctly, but then I hear people talking about awful it is to wast a GCD or whatever. My mind just can't focus on multiple things at the same time, and most FF14 rotations can't be done through muscle memory (since they require paying attention to meters - this was my issue with RDM; even though it's rotation is very simple, it requires you keep an eye on the black/white magic bars, and it's tough for me to do that while also dealing with mechanics). This is crazy to read -- from a distance healers seem way more complicated than DPS! Maybe 'complicated' isn't the right word, but having to juggle the well-being of everyone on your team seems like it's a very tough thing to do. Plus, healers also seem like a more anxiety-ridden class to play; if you gently caress up a bit as a DPS it's not THAT big a deal, but messing up as a healer seems way way worse.

The trick is to not give a poo poo whether anyone lives or dies. And to let someone die if they annoy you. Or they're a catboy with the last name Nunh. Or you don't like their glamour. You have the power of life and death over pubbies. Enjoy it.

with DPS you prepare to be optimal but unless you're doing the absolute hardest core of the content a little slip up here and there won't really bother you. You can do various primal Extremes with mediocre dps output. So the rotations are more like drills so that you can more or less perofrm them while running around - you don't have ot make al lot of hard decisions, you can focus on your footwork. Healers have to handle a bunch of tough triage decisions based on how a run is going and who hosed up when and where. When you mess up as a healer you impact the DPS of the team far more than a DPS flubbing their rotation does. That being said, these are different kinds of problems, and some people have an easier time with some than with others.

I really wish I had started a tally of how many quests follow the pattern of "talk to quest giver -> person runs up to tell you about something that just happened -> quest giver sends you to deal with it", because that seems to happen at least once per hub. So far the main quest seems to be extremely generic MMO "bad dudes are doing bad stuff, we need to figure out their plan and stop them". But some of the class quest lines have been pretty interesting, like the THM one.

Yeah, it should really be stressed that optimal DPS rotations are something to aim for, but they're not a NECESSITY and in fact are often impossible due to mechanics (at least as far as I've beaten which is Deltascape 4 Savage) The optimal DPS rotation is a platonic ideal and while you should always strive to reach it that doesn't mean you should feel bad when you only come close to it.
