I'd be moderately surprised if it's not in. Still dependent on the next round of Savage/EX raiding and maybe player satisfaction surveys after post-ShB launch balance changes. The problem with chemist is that "healer" is a discipline of magic.

Rak'Tika Greatwood Ysh'tola didn't stay dead for very long did she? What was even the point of killing her to begin with then?

They're using significantly more aether to catalyze reactions faster and increase the efficacy of their mixtures, but the process is inherently unstable and produces potions with significantly less shelf life than the tried and true methods. You can even do cutesy stuff like sharing skill names between Alchemist and Chemist.

How do I do the level 77 Thancred duty on a controller? The game wants me to fire the gunblade but I have no hotbar button for that. I mashed everything I could but it didn't work.

FactsAreUseless posted:Hm. Maybe it's bugged because that should be the same button as the stealth thing in the first place. How it works is the Duty Action will be the stealth skill to begin with. After activating it, you have to avoid Ran'jit's attacks for a certain length of time until he opens himself up for attack, at which point the Duty Action will change to a gunblade action with a long cast time. You need to be fairly close to him to activate it.

Vermain posted:So, GNB: should I hit Sonic Break the second it's off cooldown, or is it better to always wait for No Mercy to be up before? I'm guessing the latter, considering it's 1,200-ish potency, but is there a breakpoint of SkS where mashing it instantly on cooldown is preferable? It is common practice to delay Sonic Break and every second Gnashing Fang cast after the opener by 2 gcds not only to make it fit in No Mercy, but also to make it fit in trick.

Hey so I uh bought the game because of some talk around giant bomb’s E3 show and I have a buddy playing. So I installed it and jumped through the hoops to register an account and... I can’t create a character on any world on any NA data center. Google leads me to believe you might be able to create one on certain worlds late at night or early in the morning. What in the actual gently caress.

The Shame Boy posted:Rak'Tika Greatwood You should remember that a character death, or lack of a character death, isn't a good or bad thing story wise by itself as long as it's serving the plot in a useful way. Character death just as a shock moment is always the weakest crutch of writing. This particular situation serves to both inform Y'shtola's character (who is ready to sacrifice herself for the blessed without any hesitation whatsoever) and Emet-Sechs' character (to continue shading him beyond Evil Ascian and demonstrating how much power he can throw around when he wants). Neither of those things require Y'shtola to actually die. Meiteron fucked around with this message at 02:29 on Jul 8, 2019 |

Willias posted:We know the Crystal Exarch can't because reasons.(???) (ShB MSQ Spoilers) The Crystal Exarch can't return to the source because he's now physically linked to the Crystal Tower, which he mentions a few times when he's outside of the Lakeland zone. In order for him to return, he'd have to drag the entire tower with him, which presents an issue because the crystal tower is still in the source during our time, as he jumped both across worlds and backwards in time from the bad future. (Which now no longer exists)

So Shadowbringers was pretty cool, but I figured that everyone who kept saying "wait until the ending it'll blow your mind" was probably exaggerating. As usual, I was completely wrong. Holy poo poo that run to the end, from the back half of the final zone through to the achievement message popping up in the chat window, was completely insane. In the best possible ways. If you didn't pick, and tear up a bit after picking, the "Fate can be cruel, but a smile better suits a hero." option, you're probably a bit of an awful person.  Also, the cutscene before the last trial gave me this look of pure loving contempt and it was beautiful.

It's cool how AST cards don't give an arcana unless you're in combat, but healing your in-combat tank doesn't put you in combat. And how because this game is seemingly built around lag as a feature, trying to Combust then immediately use a card still won't count you as in combat. Gotta deliberately wait at least a full second for it to work. Other than that, new AST is a lot of fun. None of this matters in trials or raids, obviously, but couldn't they have done a little more dungeon testing..?

Tried the 71 dungeon as an AST, I ran out of buttons on the first double pull, and had to resort to just mainlining Benefic IIs into the tank with them hovering just above 10%. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FjWe31S_0g

How are DRK and MCH on controller this expansion? I'm looking to level something new after SAM and DRG and the changes they made to those classes seem really appealing to me but I don't know how the new rotations stack up on controller vs keyboard.

I'm still pretty early in the Shadowbringers MSQ, because I made myself eat my veggies and level Gunbreaker first, but I need to just say, (level 72-ish exposition spoilers) I love this: They could've just left it at the description of the book. They didn't need to provide us this. But they did.

AST at that level is pretty miserable, unfortunately. Doesn't help that there's a lot of new tanks who aren't used to cycling cooldowns but are used to seeing tanks grab literally everything they can see into a death ball.

Seems to have remarkably good DPS for a tank. I find the Continuation mechanic really fun but a little tricky to work into your hotbars if you play only on keyboard. Also utterly clowns other tanks if you're having a spat over aggro. Not that I have ever ever done this.

I did MCH 70-80 on a controller and I think it works rather well. I don't feel much hotbar cramp at all. During Hypercharge at lower levels you'll need to push lots of buttons to not cap out Ricochet and Gauss charges. I also have DRK on controller at 76. I feel more hotbar cramp here in order to have easy access to my defensive cooldowns. However, you don't have that many oGCDs so you're pushing fewer buttons overall.
