Ever run a Thaleia where there were no wipes, but the first three bosses lasted long enough to charge level 3 LBs and the last boss was a few seconds away from starting a second cast of it's ult? I have.

I only need about 3000 more comedy tomes to get every Credendum piece for all jobs but I would need 40+ more Thaleia coins to augment them all, and I just can't do it. The raid is so slow and boring.

About nine more Thaleia runs would get me enough coins to upgrade everything, but I'd need another 16 or so runs of Euphrosyne. That one is more of a fun time though.

Do EW hunt trains for your comedy and you'll have enough seals to buy the upgrade item by the time you're capped on tomes for the week.

I kept my comedy capped for about a month before I realized that the jobs that still needed them + upgraded were like, 10th+ in line for leveling and would be kitted out from random drops in the 93 dungeon before I needed to worry about it. Do it. Go into Dawntrail in full 650 gear. No one will know or care.

You're going to get fresh new gear for every slot before the first dungeon from quests anyway.

Oxyclean posted:Eh, it usually gets you about halfway through the expansion. It's probably not worth busting your rear end to get a set for your main or whoever is going to benefit from questing gear, but buying Aug Crendulum with Poetics for alt jobs is definitely gonna be a good idea if they're anything like my alts and have pretty mediocre ilvl. The difference the 650 set will make vs the 660 only matters if you're doing the actual dungeons in that range, and even then the difference will be negligible. Even if you disregard the gear coffers you get from the msq, you'll get more than enough dungeon gear to be properly equipped for the content. Hell, you can go through every single Endwalker story dungeon with unauged cryptlurker, until the point that you're given the AF set to deal with the rest. I bet that'll hold true in DT. Same for alt jobs. Either you're doing the dungeons and will have more than enough gear to supplement the 650, or you're not doing the dungeons and leveling other ways and the gear doesn't matter.

Clearly the most important thing is stockpiling two Ascension Weapon Coffers, since VPR and PCT won't get L90 relics. Aloalo Manuscripts will probably also work, but that seems less certain. Anything else can be fixed with poetics after Dawntrail is released. Bloodcurse clearly only applies if actually playing with a sub-665 weapon at L90+.

Oh fair, I didn't realize we meant having a full set of 650 vs 660, misunderstood and kind of just thought we meant the general replacing of level 90 gear.

Whichever of the two p12s weapons looks cooler gets the coffer cause as soon as I hit 95 that poo poo's going straight into the glamour chest.

also I doubt they add edenmorn weapons until 7.1 with the ult but I want the pct edenmorn weapon too so I should probably hop into an e12s group to grab a coffer before dt just in case... people did note in the benchmark viper has some weapons it shouldnt have (there seems to be an omega weapon) so there might be omega pct weapons too.

Healers seem like the weird exception that get easier in many ways as you get higher level, since you seemingly just keep getting extra buttons that pop off powerful (usually instant-cast) heals, while other jobs usually have to integrate their new buttons into rotations. AST seems like maybe it's more complex, but I get the impression both Scholar (my highest at 79 currently) and WHM (I think 67 or something) follow this pattern.

Healers get tougher as well in that higher-end stuff starts throwing more things you need to pay attention to and occasionally heavier/stricter conservation of your skills for the right moment, as well as on the spot decision making on if you can risk saving someone who hosed up or not. They just also do have a pretty high level of variability from dungeons to extreme/savage stuff and a high level of variability there depending on how good the people you're playing with are.

Healers have no real concept of a rotation, so you're more or less correct. Fights are completely scripted, so incoming damage is predictable and scheduled, and our situational toolkits just get bigger and more flexible. While a dps consistently gets adjustments and additions to their normal flow, healers just get more options. For most of the game, a healer toolkit is also overkill, so you really only see healer gameplay come to its apex in the harder difficulties, low ilvl, when the frequency and amplitude of damage requires such a variety of options, and the usage will need to be planned out in advance.

I'm gonna buy 660 il gear with poetics the second Dawntrail launches and then I won't change it until I finish 7.0 anyway further in EW: i tried doing the 89 trial with duty support and after half hour I gave up. God. That'd've been so cool to do but they kept dying like flies. Good one, though. Anyway EW is so loving rich in gamemaster anthony scenes I am living for it. Every time a buncha characters from across the plot appear on screen together I just point at the screen and pog at the camera

Healer kits get more and more complicated as they level for their healing purposes, but incoming damage doesn't actually keep up with all that extra healing until you hit current content extreme/savage.

Professor Beetus posted:Why the gently caress wouldn't you at least wear your dungeon drops Playing devil's advocate, but if you have a messy armory chest / things at a lot of different levels and/or end up leveling a lot of stuff at the same time, I feel like you'd end up with a lot of clutter since it'd be easy to end up with like, 95 gear, 97 gear, 99 gear, the multiply that by multiple roles. Personally I got everything at 90 so it should be easy enough to get everything into credendum gear for a fairly clean starting point.

Professor Beetus posted:Why the gently caress wouldn't you at least wear your dungeon drops Most of them are just worse stats than the last tomeset upgraded until the 95 dungeon. The 96 whites (HQ) I think usually equal them or get just above as well. If you're geared at the end of an expac you don't actually need any of the gear you're given until over halfway through the expac, usually.

Yup, and the corollary to this is you can sell the quest rewards for shitloads of money. You would think this wouldn't be the case since everyone is doing MSQ and should be getting them, but no. HQ quest rewards were consistently going for 100k+ during EW launch window.

Unless they do something weird, they’ll be equivalent in stats (ilvl 660) to the 93 dungeon drops. Crafted 94 HQ, which will also be quest rewards, will be better. 660 will also be eligible for the 99 dungeon.

Mr. Nice! posted:You must have forgot that the fight with him was the end of 5.0. Oh, yeah, I'd forgotten that the reworked 2.0 also ends with a solo duty now. And with the rework of Steps of Faith, every .55 (well, technically in HW it was 3.56, but whatever) now ends with a solo duty too. So expacs ending with trials definitely seems more like the exception than the rule at this point.
