cheetah7071 posted:even a decent paladin will clip the dots slightly depending on their GCD Isn't it just the last tick, though (3 seconds or less)? IIRC, there's something about the last tick of a dot that a reapplication during that window doesn't actually cause any loss due to the damage calculation in game.

Put the game down for a while as my sub expires and I died in the first fight against Ran'jit. I know for a fact I get my rear end kicked in the next cutscene, so I don't know they have to be so rigid with these scenarios. Remember when Wolfenstein II forced you to win the grueling fight in the courtroom, even though the whole thing was just a dream anyway?

cheetah7071 posted:oh maybe, I just see that I inevitably re-apply goring blade when there's 1 second left of the blade of valor dot and assume clipping is happening It was much more of a big deal back in the day when pretty much everyone had at least one dot and many people had multiple. I can't remember all of the details, but i has to do with the way the game actually tracks dots. They tick every eorzean minute. When you have less than 3 seconds on a dot and reapply, it's just up again for the next tick. There's no loss. Magres posted:I'm a very bad paladin and frequently clip my dots terribly because I autopilot to "okay Requiescat's done time to hit Goring Blade combo This situation, otoh, clips it at around 8-9 seconds left. That means you lose out on at least 2 ticks of the dot. As I talk of old dots, I got nostalgic for phlebotomize. I still miss HW dragoon and have it's rotation seared into my muscle memory. Flank for heavy thrust, move behind for impulse drive, disembowel, then chaos thrust, randomly get fang and claw or wheeling thrust (with their positionals), phlebotomize, true thrust, vorpal thrust, full thrust, random finisher, and repeat. Monk had two with fracture and arm of the destroyer, right? War had 30s fracture (miss you). PLD had circle of scorn and 18s fracture. SMN/SCH had bio, bio II, miasma, and miasma II. So many dots.

Well friend, let me introduce you to FF14 mods, where I have to download mods to nerf the rear end on the mods I only download for 4K textures and fingernails.

hazardousmouse posted:Great. I couldn't even get my FC owner to give me access to the garden that no one's touched in a year. I think he considers it his FC and is unwilling to give anyone access to anything That's insane to me. "Yes, I like the idea of more work for me." Meanwhile, no one in my FC seems interested in gardening. I set permissions so anyone can plant/tend to the garden and the same plants have been there for three months. Also opened up the FC airships/subs for anyone who wanted them but no one seems to care about that either. Oh well. More for me.

So I saw someone in Shout complain about the Tomahawk buff, of all things, saying that it would beat Shield Lob, which sounds like a weird thing to complain about? Are there really situations where tanks would fight for enmity rather than one gets the first hit, the other turns off tank stance? Other than tank swapping, and even then you can just Provoke/Shirk. Am I missing something?

It matters for hunts. Which in turn actually mattered briefly when Primal had an early puller WAR legend with BiS or close to it (he stopped though). You can't reset to extend the S rank if there's no way to out aggro tomahawk.

Pollyanna posted:It's the principle of the thing I leveled all crafters this time around and doing all the questlines took so much loving time. I also wanted to craft/gather everything myself instead of just buying it off the market . I was so loving happy when I finally got to the SB quests and found out they just hand you the mats and all you have to do is craft, like for beast tribe quests. Deliveries in ShB and EW are also a much better system since there's no obnoxiously rare materials/recipes involved and you get a crapton of XP and scrips out of it. Plus it's only 3 series of deliveries, not 8 goddamn questlines.

Unlucky7 posted:How does it matter for Hunts? I am still confused. Tank ranged attacks are the only ones that have +enmity to them. If you want to be at the top of the tank pile, you have to use that attack. Wars can get three crit direct hits in a row with it - no other tank has anything close. Enmity matters on hunts because hunts are actually giant fates with no markers and there's an entire culture built around hunt trains and handling them in the way the mob sees fit. If someone pulls early, another tank can grab hate and drag the hunt boss to the end of their tether which will reset their health. A warrior troll can grab hate on a hunt mob and hold it indefinitely because no other tank can outpace it and provoke doesn't work on hunt targets.

Begemot posted:I think you mean the second lvl80 alliance raid, people can and do fight over Hansel and Gretel, to disastrous results Different experiences, I guess. I've seen too many Hansels and Gretels where one tank jumps in and the other two don't even seem to know they're required until after the first link, if there are aggro fights over one of the twins it must be less noticeable.

I've gradually come to the conclusion that the only truly meaningful difference between jobs in FF14 is whether they make heavy use of cast times. All other jobs ultimately just feel like different algorithms applied to series of button presses.Ojetor posted:I leveled all crafters this time around and doing all the questlines took so much loving time. I also wanted to craft/gather everything myself instead of just buying it off the market . I was so loving happy when I finally got to the SB quests and found out they just hand you the mats and all you have to do is craft, like for beast tribe quests. Regarding leveling crafting, isn't it the case now that the Ixal quests are no longer necessary (or optimal at least) for leveling 1-50? That's kind of a shame, since I would wager that like 1/3 of my total FF14 playtime is doing those quests, and the area and music in which those quests take place is burned into my mind more than any other FF14 thing short of MSQ roulette content. 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 FF14 needs to bring back Ninja as tank with Utsusemi While I never played end-game FF11 myself, my friend did, so I learned that apparently it was a meta to always have Ninja as a subclass so you could use Utsusemi to tank.
