I would've too but I had to figure out the format for the dang thing. I thought the Submit box was a search box you hit enter on.

I got it on the first guess too, which is honestly kind of concerning considering I've never done the content that song appears in and still knew its name. I... might have a problem.

Ruffled shirts and the mats instantly disappeared when news about the gender lock being removed came out, so I think it's time I throw my guildies a Pagos party. It's been a while since I've been in there; if we're targeting just lockboxes (and not specifically the special rare ones) we want to do Fates rather than general mob grinding? Or is that just for maximizing the other drops? What we actually target will depend on what people bring. I think I'm the only one who did all of Eureka.

Countblanc posted:drk definitely isn't bad right now, but boy do i hear a lot of people who play drk exclusively in casual content talk about how bad it is Oh I know! I had to sit through 2 expansions as an AST main listening to WHMs crying that they were being ignored and their class was bad and no one wanted to party with them while they were absolute god killer healers who barely had to think about healing ever all because WHM was not in the top 10% of parties clearing savage while still being able to easily do poo poo I had to sweat to accomplish. WHM mains are Gluttons who would not be satisfied with all the riches of Heaven. People can be very dumb about class balance.

Dark times. WHM was fine in StB. They just weren't the absolute best thing and guaranteed in parties like the last expac There were WHM players in the thread on this forum during StB that would complain and ask when they were getting buffs and I was out there effectively Solo healing Godka on AST seething. Hell I swapped to WHM for some reclears and had an actively easier time. The problem was always a ghost haunting the mind of WHM players. Hell comes ShB where AST was dogwater to play and WHM again, stayed as powerful as always, they still complained about being weaker than AST.

SB was bad because that's when the meta meme hit its worse, and you'd have pf with healers locked to sch/ast, and dps locked to drg, brd, nin, caster. The excluded jobs weren't bad, but for whatever reasons the meta mindset just loving broke people.

It was never an issue of the classes not being good, it was just PF being weirdos, which is pretty typical of PF but it was extra bad then for some reason. It's why it annoyed me to see so many players cry their class wasn't strong enough when it absolutely was meanwhile I was struggling on a 'Meta' class that actually did need some love.

Weird how everyone else asking for buffs for their class was unjustified, but the class you played was the one that truly needed buffs. Funny how that works out.

Got enough tomestones to get this Treasure Trove's hairstyle and with that, I'm done with the Main Scenario duties before the patch. Also ended up having enough regular tomestones to get the Scaeven Maiming gear.

I played both (which you would have understood if you had actually read the conversation) and it was PF being PF. Also AST got basically a complete rework the next expac and WHM didn't so clearly there were some issues. Also weird how you comment on balance issues of classes when you don't even get all your skills.

The complete rework being that every card became the best card with a percentage shaved, and losing the ability to extend the duration.

WHM was probably the worst healer in StB, though way better than it was in HW. Of course FFXIV isn't so tightly balanced that you absolutely need the best jobs to clear content, even Ultimates, so it didn't really matter a ton. As for StB PF getting a bit too into meta party comps, I think that class design was partially to blame for that. Slashing and especially Piercing Down debuffs meant certain jobs got completely hosed over by bad party comps and that just feels bad, even if you didn't need them to clear.

Aurum Vale BLU group -- ~6 min each (lots of variance here, seen 4 to 10+ and just picked one for easy math), 40 tomes an hour if no downtime. AV with Grand Company NPCs -- 12-15min, 20 tomes an hour, might be able to get it faster if you know their quirks. If Warrior had our self-heals at that level I'd be plowing through it but the NPC healer gets distracted by shiny things. PvP -- 3 or 5 per match based on win, 12-20 per hour, really depends on match length AV or Pharos solo as Blue -- my gut says 10 minutes if you have a good toolbox, but I haven't done it lately that'd be 24 an hour. Castrum/Prae/Dun Scath -- I think these all come out to 12-15 an hour in the long run, but less gogogo effort.

It really didn't help that we still has jobs w/ slashing/piercing/blunt resistance debuffs for mobs and that Dragoon was the only loving job that had piercing resistance so if you didn't have a DRG your BRD/MCH automatically suffered a 5% damage penalty compared to just having any. My static's then BRD still has the comment where he misses disembowel in his profile. Me playing samurai for 4.0 still hurt him. edit: It also didn't help that TA was still the greatest raidwide buff so either you had NIN and DRG or you did something non optimal. Also WAR was the only tank with slashing debuff so if your tank comp was PLD/DRK you needed a SAM (Its so long I don't remember if they had it. They should!) or NIN to give slashing.

SAM did have slashing down but they didn't put it up in their normal opener until like 8th GCD so if they were the only slashing slashing down in the group they would have to run a different, weaker opener to get it earlier.

I’ve recently mused on how to keep the gameplay feel of Kaiten without it being so boring in terms of actual mechanics (I.e. always Kaiten before Iajutsu).

Lord_Magmar posted:Wait, Yuki had a purpose previously? Beyond the Sen Gauge I mean. Yeah. Totally slipped my mind but it was a slashing down in 4.0. Removing Kaiten is such a low effort "fix" in a world where Shoha 2 and Hissatsu: Senei still exist.

Orcs and Ostriches posted:Yeah. Totally slipped my mind but it was a slashing down in 4.0. Ehhhh, the actual wording for the fix is being misconstrued. They’re removing Kaiten not for button/hotkey bloat but for action bloat. As in actions that you press in a rotation too often that don’t provide meaningful gameplay. In this case Kaiten before every Iajutsu. It’s still dumb, but I understand what they’re intending. Aoe or single target isn’t action bloat it is button bloat, because you would never use those actions in the same scenario. My fix for the record, is making Kaiten a charge system mechanic that modified your next Iajutsu into a different one (themed around Zenos Blade Swell and Storm techniques). Either that or modified the next combo finisher into an Iajutsu. These would give unique Sen (layered over the normal gauge) that then allow you to cast Ogi Namikiri was an Iajutsu based on those Sen, and passive buffs whilst you held them. But because it is on a charge system, you don’t use it before every Iajutsu.
