I just put my entire rotation into a single macro

…As a Ninja

Ninja probably requires a bit much button-pushing but this guy has one-button rotation macros that do decently for DRG and SMN: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZX-xhexJFk
This is not macroing your actual buttons, but it macros placing the right ability on the one button you're supposed to be pressing and changing hotbars to load up the next macro.

Someone help, I've never seen anything that makes less sense than DRK pvp. How do you even survive 1 person hitting you? I get that plunge + Salted Earthx2 should lock someone down if they've already used Purify, but what if it doesn't? You also don't have enough self-heals to justify ever hitting shadowbringer. Everyone moves so much! getting shadowbringer, quietus or eventide to land is an ordeal. my first 2 matches I died so many times I didn't even get to limit break

DRK's gameplay gimmick is that it can bank up a lot of on-demand damage. Most jobs have cooldowns on their more potent attacks, but if you really need you can toss out multiple Shadowbringers in a row to secure a kill on a low-HP target. DRK's damage isn't enough to solo anyone. In fact it's probably the worst tank for 1v1, because so much of its damage is tied up in sacrificing HP. But if you can time your Shadowbringers strategically (ie when a target is at 50% or less health, or when they've already used their bubble), you can help your team secure kills during situations that would otherwise become long, protracted fights.

I'd say if you aren't being actively targeted, you can safely use Shadowbringer once without putting yourself in jeopardy. That means if you got TBN to pop, you can toss out two Shadowbringers without worry.

Naturally, Eventide is really potent because it's a mega Shadowbringer that also makes you immune to death and lets your regain hp. Don't use it early! Save it for a pivotal moment during big team fights when you know your team really needs to win the exchange. It can help take out multiple targets, and it can help you stay on the objective. You can use TBN-Shadowbringer to restore your health during this period, as well as Quietus and Salted Earth to quickly regain HP. If you're ballsy I think you can also toss out a bunch of shadowbringers during this immunity period, as long as you're restoring enough health between each use.

I think DRK in particular needs to know when to run and heal, how to heal mid-fight, and how to strategically duck a little bit out of the thick of things. Instead of Plunging straight into the enemy, you can cast TBN on an ally who is already engaged, that way you can Plunge and Shadowbringer.

The DDoS disconnects left me in the middle of Bardam's Mettle by myself. So I did the second boss while I waited for my group to log back in. Turns out those little challenges are easier to do solo than with a group lol

I really need a top that can be made to look like Majima's snakeskin jacket that ALSO works on a female Mi'qote. The only other Majima cosplayer I've seen used the Endless Summer top, but that only works for males.

I need to make Myaajima Goro.

i kinda miss this game, can someone please assist with these 2 questions:

1- how are sages doing right now
2- how much does the current tier of crafted sage gear cost on the market board on primal? i haven't played since endwalker launched so my gear is trash but i had a lotta gil
2- are there any new options for glamours that are just regular modern clothes? last thing i picked up was a pair of ripped jeans and a baseball cap that hid my cat ears

ty in advance

The Great Twist
Sages are amazing. Probably not quite SCH level if you're in a hard core speedkill static (but what ever is), but they rock everywhere.
Crafted gear should be cheap enough, since it's 4 months old now. That said, a new set is coming in a few weeks if you wanted to wait. You can limp by on tomestone or alliance raid gear if you wanted.
There's been a couple modern-ish sets released since the one you're talking of, I think. Although at least one is Mogstation.

I'm not gonna glamshame, but the regular modern clothes just aren't for me. I am a mystical whatever in a mystical world, I'm gonna own it.



That said, I did see a good Pokemon Trainer cosplay on a SMN. And there need to be more ninjas/samurai running around in Allagan cyborg bodysuits.
