The tools of a hero mean nothing without a solid core.

...huh? Is that just a random TikTok with someone saying "lol, what if this was seen by the WoL from Final Fantasy 14 with the award-winning Heavensward expansion" or am I missing a connection?

Having just recently started playing Fortnite I would spend maybe too much money on a FFXIV skinpack that let me shoot gun as FFXIV characters. Y'shtola, Emet-Selch, Tataru on Krile's shoulders, etc

If you think calling me names is gonna get a rise out me, think again. I like my life as an idiot!

The thing that gets me is that, from the point of this announcement, people have literal months to do the Hildibrand questline if they haven't already.

In totality - you're looking at less than 20 hours of total content to get there. And that's if you slowly take in every aspect of the each arc.

This is not some herculean task to do Hildibrand.

Hildibrand cutscene skippers should be permabanned. This is the hill I will die on. :colbert:

ARR Hildi is pretty rough. If it weren't for the rewards and boss fights I don't think I'd have been able to soldier through it. HW and SB Hildi are great though.

Tank sets the pace 100% every time. If I had a dollar every time some impatient speed runner tried to blaze through a dungeon because they just want their dopamine hit from their roulette clear, I’d be a rich man. Behavior like that didn’t become widespread until a few months into stormblood, and the past 2 expansions with more new players has exacerbated the issue. I’ve played this game for almost 10 years and not once did I ever feel the need to seriously report someone for running ahead and causing poo poo until the second week of SHB. The second week. Actually got to talk to a GM and show everything. Drak is 1000% correct l, and if SE seriously punishes people for letting impatient customers layers die because they want to be selfish, then I’m dropping the game. Kneejerk reaction/opinion is that this won’t go over well with the player base.

Seems to be a reaction to a video DrakGamestein (of NEST) put out about "You Pull It, You Tank It" and the idea that starting in 6.2 they will be punishing players for allowing someone who pulls more than desired/ahead of the tank to die to the mobs pulled, or something along those lines.

Step used to be a wipe fest in ARR before it was nerfed and then slowly nerfed through potency creep over the years to the point where you didn't have to do the siege mechanics at all

Even though it was a conceptually cool fight, it definitely will not be missed

Hogama
Sep 3, 2011
They wanted a big Monster Hunter siege fight, so what you're supposed to do is drag adds under the boss, have the cannons dropping the DoT puddle on the pack and otherwise peppering with normal shots (the stun shot is for the armored tortoise dragons like in Stone Vigil (Hard)) while someone kills the breakaway mobs that rush the cannons. One person needs to climb the tower to unleash the Dragonator on the boss when it's underneath the proper AOE point but after the first tower, it will dodge if it's not pinned down by the two Snares that are in front of the cannons in front of the towers.

That's basically it for the intended special mechanics, but after all the nerfs you can kind of just burst it with normal damage.

I did those but I ended up not finishing the relic because there was a part where you had to go to Bozja to advance and I could never stand the grinding of fates and CEs to reach the required resistance rank.

What step was this because I'm pretty sure every step had an out of Bozja way to grind for it. They said they wanted to not do what they did with Eureka again.

You have to complete CLL and DR (and unlock Zadnor) as part of the requirements to complete the weapon's questline, which does mean you need to at least achieve Resistance Rank 10.
You don't have to go further than that inside Bozja for the weapon, however.
