cheetah7071 posted:but the second WT/F&C is predictable, so it isn't that bad. You'll always know which one the second hit will be long before you need to press it. It's the first one you'll scramble for the reason why it's annoying is because if you need to use a jump after that third gcd, you're animation locked, so you either miss the follow-up positional due to not being able to preposition for it, delay the follow up gcd until you reposition and lose the damage that way, delay the jump and lose the damage there, or just roll the dice and get lucky

jumping at the exact back corner of the boss to minimize positional movement was a valuable skill in hw dragoon and hell, I'm ready to re-learn it none of the jumps even have bad animation lock anymore

good news! you dont have to gently caress around with settings when transferring DCs. also i'm drowning in exp i went from 20 to 50 in like 3 hours (i know its not the fastest but my friend hasn't healed in a long time)

We lost one of our static members recently and haven’t managed to find a replacement, so trying to cast the net wide. If you are on the Chaos DC (and aren’t in PCD), fancy doing some Savages and can playa healer or caster DPS, let me know.

hazardousmouse posted:Yeah, I've considered it. I'm not real sure how to go about getting into a larger one and the ever churning pile of fresh ones trying to recruit feels weird. i don't like to game with goons after some experiences in the wow days but it's pretty easy to find good active larger FCs via FF14's community finder - https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/community_finder/ just select free companies and you can read about the ones that are recruiting, what they are about, their size, etc etc, most of the bigger ones have their own websites/discords and if they are larger + been around for awhile they know how to recruit/welcome new members

Oxyclean posted:who the gently caress is screaming "DO POSITIONALS" at my house. show yourself, coward. i will never do positionals my brain fix for remembering positionals (post-EW, when every non-Dragoon class was reduced to two) was to put them right next to each other and always on the same pair of buttons, specifically 3 and shift+3. That way whenever I'm getting to that part of the combo I just have 3 = flank, shift+3 = rear. Zeruel posted:Wait - lmao

It took me like a full year to unlearn impulse drive being a rear hit. Positionals are in my blood. My static watching in horror as I go all the way inside the boss to hit one as the two tanks take cleaving busters outside it

On Reaper I just pop True North every time I use the two-stack move. It has basically the same cooldown and it isn't like I need it for anything else.

I've been levelling Ninja and enjoying it and I think it'll be my new 'main' melee DPS, replacing Samurai. I've gotten it all the way up to 82. I gotta say though, this opener just gets more and more cursed after 72. Just like ten seconds straight of fiddling with mudras and oGCDs. "Are you gonna stab the boss?" "Yeah just let me spend a while being a wizard with more elements than red mage first."

I just picked up Reaper and I don't get the rhythm yet and I can't tell if later abilities augment the current stuff or replace it because everything talks about having stacks of meters that don't exist for me yet.

Hogama posted:For better or worse, Ninja's history in Final Fantasy has always been "Thief-adjacent, throws stuff for big damage, often dual-wields, frequently uses some low-end elemental magic or the equivalent in a variant system, and has some defense tricks." That's all in XIV in various ways and only XI really went wild with that last point. We just ended up with more of a caster hybrid than the usual FF Ninja because it's part of the core rotation of the job and scales to endgame without using hard-to-replenish resources which historically has been a bit of an issue for Ninjutsu . I totally get that chucking lightning and summoning frogs has been a part of ninja stuff for a long time, from Jiraiya all the way through to Naruto. Just feels a bit weird that at least for a normie non-raider like me, the optimal opening is spending a whole lot of ogcds and mudras before you're allowed to start hitting 1 2 3.

Ninja has like 6 buttons that involve stabbing (4 gcds and 2 ogcds), the rest is all ninja magic.

super positionals do not exist, we just went over this a couple of posts back lol. Tbf it took me like a week to figure it out myself because I eventually thought "positionals on 1s GCD seems sort of bullshit" and decided to read my skills.

Man, P4S door boss' gimmick of "pay attention to which attack DOESN'T hit you" is some bullshit. Since my brain is wired to think the exact opposite way to decide how to resolve a mechanic.

Reaper’s rhythm didn’t make any sense to me until I got Gluttony and even then it didn’t REALLY make sense until Enshroud at 80.

Speaking of rhythm, what is DNC opener supposed to look like after 83? The fact that you get a button right after technical step to put up your two step dance's effects has me confused as to when I should be pressing the two step button.

Yeah, I kept feeling like I was missing something before then, but no it really is insanely simple before 80. It's definitely one of those classes that feels terrible to sync down, I did a Syrcus with reaper one time and it was a total snooze. Practically like going to Sastasha. I couldn't wrap my head around the rotation at all before actually playing it, even though I saw a bunch of videos and read a bunch of stuff about it. So I think you just have to wait until you get the abilities to figure it out. Once you see how stuff fits together, it feels great. One of the most fun classes at level 90.

I usually do standard -> technical -> devilment -> etc, because you want to a) get the standard buff up for your dance partner ASAP and b) have it up for yourself when have your biggest hit (technical finish).

At 90 for stuff where you want a countdown timer. Without a countdown timer just do the same thing without the waiting. You won't get a standard step during your burst phase but you won't be in content where it matters.
