i didn't get too far in FFX (because i ran from every encounter and was too underleveled to fight Seymour the first time) but i did win at blitzball

That's the thing, even if you have fought every battle in the game to that point Seymour is *still* probably going to loving destroy you if you don't look up a guide first.

They need to add a new magical dps class because I don't like any of the current options and want to do all the role quests.

If you just want to do the role quests, level a Scholar and put up with playing a Summoner for the tiny amount of combat you have to do in role quests

FFX is actually kinda hard for an FF game if you don't grind/unlock a few ultimate weapons/go into every boss fight with pre-filled limit breaks on all your dudes

Blitzball, in X-2 is horrible.

Blitzball in X is fun....but really flawed. The locked camera angles are a big issue, and learning skills was way to annoying. However, the actual game was pretty fun.

That's pretty close to red mage. Unless that's the joke.

I want a non-ninja rogue who takes inspiration from the SWTOR Smuggler. Story based games like these with smug and snotty bosses like sith lords or ascians are infinitely improved when you can throw dirt in their eye then kick them in the groin the second combat starts.

Nah it's not really that, red mage is magic = ranged, physical = melee, and either can be aoe or single target. Kind of a slight difference I know but with as many classes as there are, I think slight differences is mostly what we're getting from now on.

Tanks gotta tank, healers gotta heal, Magical DPS have to manage mana on top of personal class mechanics, ranged usually have more support options so they've gotta focus on that as well.

How is Melee DPS the least complicated style? Keeping your uptime going on bosses that move around a bunch is one of the most stressful things to learn how to do well, in my experience.

My favorite uptime strats are the ones that if they go wrong kill everybody. Like going for flank/rear attacks on P1S chains before sprinting to your assigned spot.

Ah, yes, as Ranged DPS I have to remember to press my support skill once every couple minutes when AoE happens. This is difficult and takes up all of my time and is totally equivalent to melee having to hit positionals and worry about uptime.

Troubador's what wins fights, and the melee need to be given higher dps to compensate for their hurt feelings.

Everyone has to do that. Everyone has other poo poo to think about outside of that usually. Melee are just the ones entirely focused on doing that and that alone. It's why their kits tend to be more mechanically dense than other roles.

I had a good CC match today: we were losing 98%, good match farewells were starting… but the last man standing on our side got off their Sam LB at the last second and wiped the entire enemy team who were clustered on the crystal whaling on him. We ressed, ran the field back and won in overtime.

But yeah, BLM is stupid broken. I’m using PVP right now to level it because I no longer need to be good, I just need to hit ice > paradox > superflare and run the hell away until my LB comes up and I become destroyer of any group on the point.

I played a bunch last night because I had nothing else to do and it keeps me awake (i didn’t want to fall asleep super early)

I’m def done with CC until patch. Because matches have basically become “can you kill the enemy Black Mage quick enough.” Because if you get targeted by one it’s “okay gonna attack. Oh I’m frozen, ok I’m out gonna. Oh now I’m stunned. Oh gonna, oh now I’m asleep. If I’m not dead they now get to repeat the combo until I am dead.”

I know they said they really didn’t do much testing with it and threw it out the door but I’d l think they didn’t do any because holy cow is PvP just so bad with them in it. Good thing I’ve done all I need to do in it for now.

The trick to enjoying CC BLM meta is to play it yourself, instantly develop a heartfelt animosity against the enemy BLM (there will always be one), and wizard duel to the death across the map the instant your LBs both 100% :kingsley:

I'm happy I waited to bid on a plot for a few days. The place I wanted has 48 bids and another perfectly good small 'only' has 15. Wonder how many people are doing it last day too though...

The only reason not to do it on the last day is if you can't log on that day, so I imagine a lot of people are going to wait.

Yup. You're still likely to get statistically better odds if you can afford to be there a bit before it closes compared to just throwing your ticket in a low participant plot early and hoping for the best. I already went around and mapped the lowest participant plots, so I'm just gonna scan through them an hour before and go with whatever's got the best odds.

Do not bother with CC until 6.15. It’s exceptionally bad because of the Black Mage buff.
