I've found it's very difficult to convince pugs in levelling dungeons to use their limit break before the end (or even before that).

Even if you manage to convince them to use it on say, the second boss, they will always wait until the boss is at like 5% HP. It's like they think there's a bonus for landing the kill with it.

There is a bonus for landing the kill with a limit break, it makes you look rad as hell

This is also why I like to finish mobs with Deathflare when a Dreadwyrm Trance-empowered Tri-Bind would do the job just as well.

Oh no, I was stupid and bought a thing at 500k when everything other price was over 1.5, but it just crashed right after so that put a cut in my 1 mil milestone lol. I was just making sure.

A macro that says hey Healer /Tank LB in 5 usually gets them to consider it before the end of a fight. It's not using ranged or caster LB on trash I'll never be able to teach. It's a giant amount of damage over a big group of mobs, way more than a single target LB1 will ever do. Just cast it.

It seems to be the equivalent of saving your elixirs for when you really need 'em and finishing a Final Fantasy game with 32 elixirs.

They're not alone as I found out w/old FC ppl :v:

I just don't care and just LB whenever I get a ton of mobs on DPS since I never get to use it as ranged. It regens, life goes on.

How much is cloudsbreathe on your servers?

Jenova is approx 100k-200k on a good day. Hopefully they will crash SOON so I can get a new shiny flying chair before NYE.

I play almost exclusively mages, so I usually yoink the LB to use on big pulls anyway.

if we're not doing big pulls I get very sad and also stop paying attention to buttons that aren't Scatter until we get to a boss.

Finally got WHM to 70. Healing is way more interesting and fun when you're playing the "how few healing spells can I cast this dungeon" game. Thanks to those in this thread who posted the WHM tips several pages ago, they helped me a fair bit.

Now it's time to level DRK.

How do you keep the NPCs alive as a Scholar during the quests? I'm always healing them, but it never feels like I can keep them up before whatever they're fighting murders them.

I cleared the Level 70 quest after two tries, but the NPCs always end up with low HP by the end.

If I remember those quests correctly, several of them expect you to clear NPCs from some poisons or other detrimental effects, healing them was not that important.

Yeah, and in one of them (I think maybe even the lvl 70 quest), the boss's aoe thing will only target you, so you just have to stay away from the npcs. Took me a couple of tries to figure that one out.

The healer quests that require you to heal NPCs would be greatly improved if they could somehow be reworked with the command mission framework so they can be in your party.

Targeting friendly npcs for heals (and trying to *not* target them for attacks) is just about the only bad part about playing this game on a controller so I would be very down for having them added to the party list.

Is the PS4 version of the game also a good/viable choice? I want to play, but I don’t have a gaming PC right now, so I considered playing on PS4, but I don’t know if that would gimp me or if it’s an inferior version or something.

This game has some amazing controller support, but you’ll probably wanna grab a USB keyboard for chatting.

i don't know if you're the kind of player for which this matters much, but playing on ps4 will prevent you from using third-party tools for this game, including the only effective DPS parser available.

also, there are some edge casey things that are legitimately annoying to do on controller, like pvp healing
