Picking Monk back up and leveling it with the new EW changes, one question: what are the best attacks to use under Perfect Balance when it doesn't matter which attacks you use (Tornado Kick/Phantom Rush time, basically)? I've picked up from reading other players' stuff that it's best to alternate between Bootshine and Dragon Kick for the lunar nadi, but what about when you have both nadis? Just a normal combo of three different chakras, or is there a better option?

If you have both Nadi your finisher will always be Phantom Rush, so alternate Booshines/DKicks like old Perfect Balance had you do. Leaden fist and guaranteed crits put Bootshines well above all your other weaponskills for potency.

Similarly if you're in AOE just spam Shadow for the crits.

And for AoE under Perfect Balance, spamming Shadow of the Destroyer seems to be the way to go, again due to auto crits. Of the i580 food options, I'm not sure whether archon burgers or pumpkin potage math out better. None of the food options for phys DPS are crit/dh unless you go all the way down to i510.

Thanks for the Monk tips! I'm really enjoying Monk right now, a lot more than I ever did in the past. Having something to build to feels nice. Also it's fun that I'm finally enjoying some melee DPS jobs. For some reason it's the role I've been the least interested in up to now but I've been having a great time with both Reaper and Monk (tanking is still my favorite though and I'm itching to level a second tank once I have other roles to 90).

It's all that's mentioned in the patch notes. It's also something they announced a while back in one of the PLLs, also by itself, so I'd assume it's the only change.

When I look at the stats on the new crafted set and realize all the i580 stuff I already obtained is just gonna get replaced with melded crafted stuff immediately except for maybe one piece. Such wonders we get when the gear is a mystery until the day of.

I'm rather disappointed with how panda gear dyes, especially the maiming. The torso and leather goes dark black and doesn't change no matter what you dye it, instead of the white and dark grey it is normally. I'd have much rather preferred it just stay that color, but the big change is super lame. I guess this is just a huge argument for multiple dye channels, but drat it SE I hate when you just have multiple things change when you dye a piece.

Oddly, the /snap animation is slightly interrupted by the job change except if you are sitting down in which case you switch jobs while finishing the /snap animation smoothly. I have no idea why this is.

You'd either need fractional /wait (probably not happening) or for gearset change to not interrupt animations (probably not happening). That said, I don't know the XIV codebase thank gently caress, so

I'm still working on getting dancer to 90, but I fear that with the introduction of starfall dance there are enough big attacks to fit in the window that it makes it worth saving devilment for after technical finish. No more fishing for huge numbers

I hit 86 on NIN and i'm wondering how to activate my superior fart cloud. Does it happen automatically after I do an AoE before/after casting Doton? I'm a little confused as to the order of events needed to eke out that extra potency.

Kyrosiris posted:Unless one of those is MCH I'm not really that sympathetic. At least BRD and DNC have legit rdps.  MCH has parsed higher than Bard on the 89 EX until 95th percentile, and until 80th percentile on 83 EX. I think Machinist is fine.edit: I've seen other people mention they think MCH needs a buff and as someone that plays it often, I don't see why. It plays mostly the same way as in ShB and as I said above it's parsing just fine in comparison to the other Aiming classes. I don't see a reason for any changes or any reason to think it's particularly worse than the other Aiming classes. iPodschun fucked around with this message at 17:56 on Jan 4, 2022 |

I figured out how to do the new master recipes on an extreme melding budget. I have X's in my primary rightside slots and VIII's in my primary leftside slots and weapons, and all the melds are a mixture of cheap VI's for the first overmeld (usually Control), IV Controls, and I/II's for CP. The only thing you have to splurge for is +7 CP overmelds in the first slot on your primary/secondary weapon, though you can cheat and use two IV CP's if you can get a huge stack of them for cheap. With HQ Tsai and HQ Cunning Craftsman's Syrup, I'm at 3224 Craftsmanship, 3272 Control, and 673 CP. For 70 Durability crafts, you need at least two HQ materials to get to a reliable HQ end product, though this depends on at least one Good proc somewhere favorable. If you don't want to hedge your bets, you'll need at least 3 to guarantee HQ, especially if you're macro crafting. For 35 Durability, I use these two macros: quote:[Macro 1] For 70 Durability, I use these two macros: quote:[Macro 1] Vermain fucked around with this message at 18:20 on Jan 4, 2022 |

Is the "Milk those ways" trophy only for those that get to the last chamber? I've done a bunch and the trophy hasn't popped. The description could be a bit clearer.

Vermain posted:You don't need the Trained Finesse to guarantee HQ on most crafts, assuming you've melded well. I still prefer the aforementioned rotation for macro crafting, since you can fit in a Tricks line into the macro to avoid a Poor Byregot's much more easily. Trying to do it with that rotation in a way that doesn't short Innovation (Prep 3x -> Inno -> Prep -> GS -> Byregot's) leaves me at about 96% HQ without any Good/Excellent procs. i 100% stole your macro and made it work for my stats, thanks. so now i will be the hokage of potage

Macaluso posted:So again new to endgame crafting, is the only way to reliably craft master recipes is to pentameld? Cause man is that just not something I'm interested in doing I think you can HQ base mats pretty easily with scrip gear, and then with a few HQ base mats make HQ master gear pretty reliably, with food and meds. Fully overmelded HQ master crafting gear basically just lets you make the gear without HQ base mats, food, or meds, and lets you do it with a macro reliably instead of needing to min/max each step. I made my HQ aesthete's gear in ShB with HQ facet gear, which I definitely didn't overmeld, and I used the aesthete's to make exarchic stuff with regular melds and HQ food/meds. Basically overmelded HQ gear is for if you're going to try and make money cranking out a ton of kit to sell on the marketboard, you don't need it if you're just crafting for yourself and friends.

You still want to pentameld, but you can skimp hard and go predominantly with cheapo IV's for the pentamelding part. It'll vary from server to server, but you should be able to do it for, like, 500k or so, assuming you can get the X's from normal activities or scrip.
