As an aside it is absolutely jawdropping how pivotal a Demi-Phoenix summon can be in CC. Sure, Bahamut is Hella Damage, but if your team is on the brink, Demi-Phoenix can end up being stronger due to the massive HoT and emergency heal. Plus, a timely Scarlet Flame can save lives with the 50% damage penalty it puts on enemies.

I posted my UI setup a couple of days ago but the big thing I can recommend is that, even if you're playing a healer, to make your enemy party list bigger or your own party list smaller. You really want the enemy's info accessible and easy to click on via the party list if you can't do it on the field or with a macro.

It's hosed up that they make you use the GARO titles to unlock the mounts. I just unlocked <Khloe's Best Friend>, Yoship, how dare you do this to me.

Some of our team dies, the rest fall back, their team follows, and I'm just standing there on the crystal wondering what was going on.

I've noticed that AST is maybe the least fight-y healer. Like I was 1v1ing with a friend to help them test stuff out and wow, I do basically 0 damage. I don't think I can out-damage people's MP regen. During team fights, I'm throwing out Aspected Benefics and double casts, using cards on cooldown, using Macrocosm on cooldown, making sure to know where my teammates are and try to shield whoever is currently being focused, being with the group so I can buff them with cards/macrocosm/limit break, and if I ever have a break from all that, I'll Gravity+double cast to put a heavy on the enemy team. If fights drag on, since you won't let your team die, but they're not very good at killing, you might eventually run out of charges of everything and get a chance to cast Malefic, but it doesn't feel good, even with the cooldown refund on double cast.

Onean posted:Judging by being a floating island with the same color scheme, I assume they windy map is from the Sea of Clouds. The thing that threw me out of the Ruby Sea was that Hell's Lid is only one volcano on an island, but the arena has three attached to a mainland. And what actually interested me was the floating island, because it doesn't look like the Sea Of Clouds but does look like some promo art you see sometimes (specifically I'm thinking of one with the manacutters that I can't find right now).

Xun posted:4) Use your full heal potion well. Use it between team fights or when you can LoS the enemy team during a teamfight. Do NOT use it during fights when you still have mp and hp. You are taking yourself out of a fight and that could turn the fight against you. A good example of using the potion during a fight is if you're being focused down, heal up using MP while retreating behind your team and ideally around a nearby corner. Since they were focusing you, hopefully that means the rest of the team is not that damaged and they can keep the fight going while you recover. Also the enemy might have used their cooldowns on you already so your team will have an even easier time holding.

Tamba posted:If you somehow end up against a single enemy who has just popped guard (happens all the time when people are trying to drag things out), immediately use the elixir. You either get a free full recovery, or the enemy gets greedy and tries to hit you, dropping the guard. Oooh, I'm going to try this. Thanks. Is there some trick to dealing with the wind event on that map? I prefer the purity of the map with no map effects, and the bomb one is pretty straightforward, but I have no idea what the gently caress to do in order to not get catapulted into oblivion with the wind event.

That's good enough for me to try it out. e: They seriously should add some of the PvP MCH stuff into their PvE toolkit. Heat blast sucks and should go away imo

Either have Guard active when the event activates, or position yourself over one of the Chocobo ground markers before you get flung up in the air. The latter will prevent fall damage and also briefly grant you a buff to combat effectiveness.

It moves around and gets smaller over time, but if you're standing on it when the knock up occurs you'll catch a feather that negates the fall damage. If you happen to be very far away from the action at the time the wind hits you may avoid it entirely, but that also means you aren't participating in the fight.

I’ve made a couple, but they never appear You have to set them as your instant portrait - but there's also a bug where if you tie them to gearsets and switch gearsets, it checks to see if the gear portrayed is valid before the gear actually swaps (so you get a default portrait instead). It works if you double-tap the linked gear set though.

That's good enough for me to try it out. Pretty light on the debuffs. As far as I can tell, the only one you have is if you cast Gravity, and then copy it with double cast, which puts a 75% Heavy on the main target and any others in a 5y radius, so you won't be locking anyone down, though it is good if you either get someone separated, or hit multiple targets before they engage on you, to give your team time to engage on your terms. The shield from double casting Aspected Benefic is pretty chunky and can stop someone from getting focused down, at least long enough for them to Purify + Recuperate, and sometimes you want to cast it on yourself then follow it up with recuperate. Because of your cards, Macrocosmos, and LB, you want to stick close to the fight, but you don't want to be in front of your team getting focused, so your positioning matters a lot.

Honestly I would love for the next FF MMO to have smaller kits with less overall buttons to press in PvE but much faster paced (akin to Guild Wars 2). I will dream about 2030 when Yoshi finishes the 9th and final expansion for XIV and moves on to the next one.

Cleretic posted:So, where are the floating island and volcanic CC maps even meant to be, as far as the game world goes? Neither of them quite resemble anywhere we've been. The wind map is designed after the floating islands of Nym in Outer La Noscea and the bomb map after the volcanic hot springs of the Kobold region.

Immediately before the wind hits sounds like a funny time to use a war lb. Especially if it also makes the war immune to the wind (does it?)

Xun posted:5) You cannot carry your team. Unpopular opinion maybe but getting out of bronze and silver is more up to team RNG than personal skill. Of course becoming more skilled helps, having one or two other good players makes a huge difference. But if you run into a team that refuses to focus, runs in one at a time, are unwilling to push the crystal, there is nothing you can do about it. The games literally get easier and less frustrating the higher up you go in the ranks because people become more willing to coordinate. I don't play Ranked. I stick to Casual because I don't want to drag down people who are making an earnest effort to be competitive. That said, thank you for the advice, I'll try to work on following it as best I can.
