Autisanal Cheese posted:my main problem as a BLM is trying to remember all this poo poo while trying not to die to mechanics This is why I main DRG. I can die to mechanics because I’ve spammed five cooldowns that all immobilize me through their animations and the healers will just sigh and go “loving dragoon” while hitting their rez macro, but sometimes I remember to hit ctrl+1 to jump backwards… only to still get hit by the AoE for 300,000 damage. The jumping animations and aerial cartwheels with a poleaxe make it worth it.

You never really know a fight until you can clear it as a BLM. Knowing which mechanics you have to do or they'll wipe you and which you can ignore for uptime.

Autisanal Cheese posted:my main problem as a BLM is trying to remember all this poo poo while trying not to die to mechanics You'll find your level, and then get comfy, and then get comfy enough that your mind starts wandering mid-rotation and you'll be like "hmm, I bet I could..." There's some totally psycho poo poo involving skipping umbral hearts and casting slow Fire 3s and literally using Lucid Dreaming while using a third party tool to perfectly track server regen ticks that's still totally beyond me and likely will be forever, though.

See, that's the fun thing about BLM. Healers instinctively know that you're going to stand in AoEs for uptime. You getting hit by stuff isn't playing badly, it is playing well.

In both WoW and this, if you constantly stand in poo poo, I let you die. Sorry, thats the rules of the healer (Healer Code).

If it's been a long alliance raid sometimes I'll stand in the bad just so dying gives me enough time to jam the a rest of a sandwich in my mouth

Veev posted:I just use triple cast randomly, whenever I remember it exists. An easy way to get value out of it is just to use it as soon as you swap into fire mode. The gap between finishing your fast-cast F3 and starting your F4s means you can weave it in without clipping and now you've shaved a total 0.9 pre-Spellspeed seconds off your astral cycle. I'm pretty sure this is actually optimal before you've unlocked Despair, although I end up sneaking swift/triplecast Flares into the end of my astral cycles even against single targets just for the novelty. It used to be impossible! Ice spells didn't always cost 0MP in fire mode. Casting Flare without having Convert (old name for Manafont, also cost you HP to use) ready would leave you trapped in 0MP astral mode and completely at the mercy of Transpose! Note: don't actually do the Flare thing, it's a loss Ferrinus fucked around with this message at 06:59 on Aug 20, 2023 |

For folks currently in ARR and looking for a palette cleanser, I highly recommend picking up the Rogue (which leads into Ninja) and Arcanist (gets you both Summoner and Scholar) quests. These are the only job quests of the 1-to-50 set that weren't directly or partially ported from 1.0 and boy howdy does it show in the difference in quality. Rogue especially is strong right out the gate, and of course after the fact I found out those were written by Ishikawa, who worked on the Crystal Tower and Coils raids as well as a lot of the game's most widely-beloved storylines in the expansions.

Easier than ever before. Most of Stormblood is duty-supportable and the rest will be when the next patch comes out so you can do the dungeons with NPCs and help you get back into the swing of things.

In a month and a half with 6.5 (expected early October) every mandatory MSQ dungeons will be runnable with NPC parties, the last ones to be implemented are the Stormblood patches ones. Coincidentally there's a free login period for returning players giving 14 days of access to the game between August 9 to August 31 : https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/special/freelogincampaign/ So hop in !

Speaking as someone who likes Duty Support, I will say the only positive thing about the ARR Duty Support Crew is that it is, in fact, the same four nameless characters the whole way through, so you do get to kinda watch them grow up alongside you and go from eager newbies to hardened veterans in ever-increasingly fancy gear, so at least there's that.

practiced with the blm a bit more today, including void ark. Didn't die once! I however probably had garbage dps (not that i care, i just want to have fun) and 3-4 times needed to keep enochian up via transpose while i avoided big swats. Don't feel bad about it, not for a first run. Feels good when you can blap off some semblance of a rotation for a bit and watch the pretty numbers fly
