It's on the party lists in CC, but is there a way to tell in Frontlines whether or not an enemy has LB ready? I swear I get focused down more when I have an LB ready to go even if there are juicier-looking targets between me and the blob of baddies.

Reaper has the fun ability to fear people off the cliff at mid in Borderland Ruins with its LB but it's probably the worst melee DPS yeah.

Reaper fear can win cc overtime if it can fear away the enemy team off the crystal. A little niche, but I have annoyingly lost to that more than once.

RPR, BLM and GNB desperately need buffs, while WHM and WAR need nerfs. MNK could also be looked at.

Dancer has a potentially really impactful LB but then feels like they aren't doing a whole lot outside of that. I suppose the AoE damage from their spin dance is fairly high if you can actually catch people in the whole thing. I've very much been preferring Bard though.

Gunbreaker needs something for sure. It does a lot more damage than the other tanks in DPS stance but its survivability while doing so is awful, and its healing/personal shields while in Junction Tank/Healer don't really make up for lacking crowd control on anything besides its limit break, which itself is trivially countered by literally any crowd control.

In CC burst is king as that's what is required to confirm KOs in a game mode where self-heals are instant and plentiful and where a single KO can turn the tide of a team fight. Reapers have respectable sustained damage and durability but very poor burst, meaning that four times out of five the Reaper is going to have to hope a more immediately lethal team member is on the ball enough to actually take out the players that RPR is softening up. The most popular classes are those that can confirm KOs quickly and capitalize on weakness without needing to rely on building stacks of something to activate their non-LB burst move.

I suppose the AoE damage from their spin dance is fairly high if you can actually catch people in the whole thing. It's been surprisingly hard to catch more than one or two people at a time with a dancer LB (either the other team is too scattered, or they're all together, my team doesn't back me up, and I get nuked before I can LB). It's pretty cool when you do get most or all of the enemy team, but you still have at best four seconds for the rest of your team to apply pain before those guys wake up real mad at you. Honing Dance is pretty cool but more than once I've gotten smoked because I was trapped in the dance (you can't do other actions until your GCD cycles) and couldn't heal or escape in time. Dancer burst is pretty meh. At best you can dump Fan Dance + Starfall Dance + Saber Dance for 20k AoE potency (24k vs single target) which isn't bad if the enemy team on the crystal is already half dead but not great if a monk or samurai is in your face.

I was already capped by the time it was introduced but you should be able to use ishgard resto to do so. Basically you’ll make trips to diadem and gather in cycles and in between trips turn the stuff you gathered into ishgard turn ins, is my Understanding

For gathering i did job quests and gathering unique items in each zone until 50. At 50 i did collectibles which give a stupid amount of XP. Every 12 hours in game time they respawn, and give a stupid amount of XP. Open your gathering log and go to the collectables tab, then just check the times each of them spawn. They tend to spawn back to back so you can do a lap then turn them all in then go back to doing something else. For crafting i did job quest and unique crafts at low level, then just bought a poo poo load of mats from the market board and did ishgard restoration turnins. I got a couple of the casual set from the scratch cards so it didn't cost much overall.

Click on your grand company to pull up the daily GC supply and provisioning turn ins. Buy those off the marketboard. Turn in. Reap the rewards. You never have to craft or gather if you don't want to. Also check out levequests and use those. For actual crafting and gathering, craftsmanship affects progress and control affects quality. The closer to max you get the quality, the better chance of HQ with guaranteed HQ when you max. You can click the calculations button to see how much each skill will add to progress or quality based upon your current buffs. Gathering it's gathering and perception. For these, just go out and hit rocks, chop trees, and stab fish. They level pretty fast. Right now just focus on leveling stuff while you get more skills. The tooltips are pretty self explanatory. If you run out of durability, the craft fails, and you likely lose the mats you were using.

Reaper's gimmick is that they suck until you hit LB and then you become amazing briefly but the problem is 1. you really suck a lot outside of LB 2 LB doesn't make you amazing, it just makes you a regular dps for 5 GCDs instead of a half-assed mess getting to pretend you're a dragoon for ten seconds does not a viable character make

The GC delivery turn ins scale with your level so the costs of buying what you need will start cheap at first then get gradually more and more expensive until you reach level 80-90 then they become cheap again due to increased supply of current gear. Also high quality turn ins will get double in rewards compared to normal quality, and deliveries that are starred are further doubled.

How do I change a retainer's job to another? I followed all the instructions, I have the Monder Vocation, but I don't have the option to assign them a job (specifically RDM). I only have the option to reset retainer class. The retainer is high enough level that I should be able to switch them over to a RDM now. I'm a 90 RDM as well. What am I missing here? edit: Upon further digging I apparently have to reset her to level 1 again, and then switch them to a RDM when they hit 50... why? Why on earth can I not just switch them over to a RDM from Bard. What coding disaster would happen by allowing this Macaluso fucked around with this message at 22:22 on Apr 18, 2022 |

What class are they currently? If you already assigned them a job, you can't switch them to Red Mage, they have to go from their initial base class to Red Mage.

It makes sense in the restrictions set by the original system. Retainer classes/jobs are tied to how they're available to players and you can't freely change retainers without reseting them to level 1, so for combat you can only assign a single class and upgrade to its job. Except expansion jobs don't have base classes and no gear below their starting level so it would be impossible to make anything but ARR jobs - consider being able to switch any base class to expansion jobs at the proper level the exception to the "no class switching" rule.

tank lb3 for quad planets feels fine to me? in my experience, blue-first quad planets is the mechanic that causes the biggest issues in PF, and it's immediately followed by towers so it can be a pain if even a few people die

As someone who just ran some practice runs of that EX, Tank LB3 is fine if a bunch of people are dead for towers but you probably shouldn't be relying on it, especially because it means you now have, like, four vuln ups from unsoaked towers that the LB won't save you from, plus a bunch of dead people you now need to raise.
