I can probably count on one hand the number of times I've been in Snowcloak where nobody got hit by Lunar Cry. I always say "as soon as you see it, hide behind the standing icicle or he will get you" and then people stand around with their thumbs up their asses, or they can't make it because apparently being anywhere near the actual fight is forbidden if you have ranged abilities.

FFS, don't catch a meteor with 2 people! The damage doesn't split! I ended up getting through it, and the thing that made it possible was using the DPS limit break to kill the tear thingy. I also found out about the splitting thing; I guess not enough people were there to keep me from dying when I got under the meteor in the past (as DPS). I'm almost to Heavensward now; just a few more main scenario quests left. Then I can finally try Astrologian.

Nah man, it’s not split, just straight damage, enough to murder you two times over if you have the debuff mentioned upthread. DPS ignore meteors and focus on killing that tear asap. There’s few enough that the tanks should be able to handle it.

When people say they usually do MSQ first when leveling, are they talking about leveling multiple characters? I was under the impression that you can do everything with one character in this game and MSQ is one ein through total and not per job.

Well, if you're rolling multiple characters, MSQ is, and always will be, the best source of level-up XP there is, because each and every character gets to go through MSQ, right? =P You are correct in your impressions: It is possible for a player to master all jobs and professions on a single character. And you are also correct in assuming that the MSQ is best-suited to mainlining a single job all the way to 50 and beyond. If your chosen job turns out to not be the kind of thing you actually enjoy doing, however, there's nothing wrong with grinding up another job (on the same character) through dungeons and POTD to take over, though. Just remember that once you hit HW content, you may swap to any of the three jobs introduced therein, though those jobs have you pick up at level 30, or alternatively, at level 50, you may jump straight to the SB jobs, which start at level 50, so it should be a seamless transition. (only 85% sure on this latter point, get verification.) SwissArmyDruid fucked around with this message at 09:53 on Jul 21, 2018 |

Yeah if you have SB you can switch to RDM and SAM at will once you hit 50. You'll need to do the intro quest and such of course, you don't just get handed the job stone by Kan-e-Senna because you look like you could be a rapier/swordier guy/girl/potato.

I keeping getting youtube recommends for him because I've watched a handful of the MTQ dungeon guides, and I'm too wary to watch a video after watching like 30s of that obnoxious catboy youtuber Back in the day before MTQ started putting out guides (and the early days of them both doing so) he was more concerned with getting stuff out quick than anything even approaching comprehensive. So he'd often gloss over mechanics and suggest strategies that were either outright wrong (because he didn't understand the mechanic properly yet) or tailored to the group he ran with (I still remember the phrase 'if you do decent dps you should be able to skip this' from watching a Shiva Ex video of his. It was the sole strategy he had for one mechanic.) AFAIK he's gotten a bit better about it nowadays but he's kind of had to; MTQ's videos blew his out of the water and then skeet shot them to pieces with how comprehensive and easy to understand they are.

Also funnier to listen to. I'd always prefer to watch any of her guides rather than a jumbled hot mess from MrHappy as he shills out to some company and how awesome their products are.

It surprises how someone can be so verbose about something (some of his dungeon guides take as long to watch as it would to actually run the dungeon, (maybe even longer!) and yet will still omit information.

 Sweet, now I can unsub until 4.4 hits. Although goddamn, how does a Roegadyn fit into Air Force? My Elezen is already sitting on her feet in this thing. Also, I'm not sure how (other than being really pissed off at one now-former member of my static) but I managed to obliterate my previous best Godka parse by a bit over 500 DPS that run. Being mad ain't just for Warriors anymore!

I was under the impression that you can do everything with one character in this game and MSQ is one ein through total and not per job. The thing about "do MSQ first!" is that it's actually mostly good advice, but there's a giant glowing asterisk that seldom gets addressed: your job/class quests. Those quests should always be your #1 priority over all else (before 60), because really important features are hidden behind them. I've run into too many 50s that aren't wearing at least their AF1 armor, and more than once I've done level 50 trials with people who don't have their job stone equipped.

Things didn't quite work out how he wanted. There's an info dump part-way through the 3.0 content that covers what Lolorito was doing during the mess in Ul'dah and afterwards, but suffice to say Teledji never had a chance in hell of getting away with his plot.

(Please keep important MSQ story beats suitably vague or in spoiler tags, please.) I was spoiled on the end of ARR thanks to the HW opening cinematic, but I was still not prepared by how it was such a huge clusterfuck for you and your friends. Man. Also I cleared The Vault a few hours ago and literally powered through the MSQ so that I could heal this gaping hole in my heart. "A smile better suits a hero..." Also DRK 60 was amazing I am floored again.
