SettingSun posted:Is Tam Tara really the only place to get Mind Blast? I could swear there were Piscodemons somewhere else in the game. Tam Tara HM and the S rank hunt for South Shroud. I think the first boss of Amdapor Keep also uses it. Mainly you want to get it from TamTam normal because it's required for the job quests early on.

Yeah, I'm sure if the S-rank Mindflayer spawned and you still didn't have Mind Blast, it wouldn't hurt to give it a try. Although it's very likely the mob would die before it got a chance to use it.

I think the S-rank prefers to use Mind Melt, and it's not likely to be easy to get a hunting group to throttle the fight until a Mind Blast goes off.

The one clever thing about BLU: you can learn White Wind from the expected source, even though you'll never need to due to the totem.

Yes, though in practice, it acts more like Transfusion.

SonicRulez posted:But you're playing it. And so are lots of other people. Whoops, turns out that means it's a success. Nobody at Square will ask or care why you're playing it. See also: Eureka. Hate playing content is the exact same as playing content. That sounds like a really good way to dumpster your own game. Also eureka is really popular in Japan, that’s why you keep getting it. It’s an extremely weird comparison to make.

Is running the highest level available dungeon over and over close to HoH or PVP in terms of exp gain?

so after sorting out my account last night I played for.. maybe an hour, and I think I remember why I stopped. Playing a PLD is awful, they do gently caress all damage for the purposes of questing, and tanking is extremely confusing in this game compared to wow. Is there a class I should play instead which is fun to play and does damage? I'm about level 50.5 in PLD and 15 as a WHM - and 1 in practically everything else. Aside: how do you level jobs now? is it just chain running dungeons?

The base jobs also no longer have the subclass (like 15 cnj) to unlock.

The solution is to do a Dragon Quest event where all the enemies in Eureka are Dragon Quest enemies and call it Goo-reka.

Yeah I feel like some internet “gamers” really need to find a few more hobbies. Hate playing poo poo and whinging about it constantly on the net is so tedious to sift through. Anyway I caught up to 4.5 last night, going from start to finish and ending on the Ghimlyt Dark after a couple of months was a real fun experience and I’m pretty hyped for SB2

It's why it's usually active as hell. Eureka is a success. I don't like it much, but it's time to move on on that point lmao. You know the idea of "the appropriate market price is what people are willing to pay"? Same idea applies here. Turns out people were willing to pay the price of Eureka.

Last year I decided that my posts ITT were extremely bad so I just stopped posting as a new years resolution. The Eureka happened and it sucked so there wasn't much for me to do except raid log, and then my long-time static leader kicked me out because he's a horrible manchild with serious emotional issues and a ton of friends who all enable him. So yeah I pretty much quit for the last few months! Glad everyone here is still having fun though (I hope).

The leaders of Eorzea are all trash (except Baemeric). Nanamo - Lets a bunch of billionaires horde all of the nation's wealth while people starve in the street. Also is a Monarch. Kan-E-Senna - Abducts children "with special abilities" so they can be turned into soldiers to protect her and her property. Merlwyb - As noted above, is a colonialist warmonger who murders innocent "lesser beings" for their land and walked into the easiest burn Varis has ever delivered as a result. In conclusion, Gaius did nothing wrong and Eorzea would be a lot happier if he were its ruler.
