I should mark Hashmal in some arbitrary order, C on the left, A middle, and B right and see what happens.

FF9 being an Omega tier seems pretty feasible to me.

You'll wipe, because half the raid will be "I know where to go I don't need markers" and the other half will go to the marker and you won't have dps and you'll wipe.

Quite recently, I marked the final room of Labyrinth CBA left to right and C and A went to the marks unquestioningly. I was in group B for peak lazy, iirc.

Wouldn’t that be a bit too close to what the Ascians want to do re: merging the various shard parallel Hydaelyns back together? It’s not exact, but both are an existential threat against the planet’s mother crystal involving merging.

Omega is basing the FF9 stuff on an old legend that involved an allegory for the ascians.

There I solved the puzzle.

Eorzean script is just using a stylized English alphabet, with some peppered in typos being a Japanese company and all. Easy enough to find a reference online.

A shame you can't really port over his I AM REVELATION attack smoothly into D&D or i'd steal that too.

Stealing things from FFXIV for D&D groups is great fun. I got really lazy one week, forgot to do prep so my group spent the next 3 months fighting their way through Alexander.

And then I'll have to level them up to 70 and watch their unique appearances fade because muh optimized Ala Mhigan/Ivalician/Allagan/Genji Gear. :smith:

you can kinda get around this if you glamor on job restricted gear. If the current job doesnt match the job of the glamour, it shows the base gear. heres my WAR and DRK wearing the same gear as an example

It's the first tank I got to 70 and the new rotation with Requisqat into Holy Spiritx x 6 FOF etc. over and over again for all eternity got boring really really fast. It's the WHM of tanking. Dead simple and effective but not for people that like to have fun. A water without any ice.

Stop playing with pubbies then ya goof. Like your compaint is a pubbie doesn't use their class mechanics effectively or even without any real understanding? Wow that sure is a thing unique to DRK. Lord knows I've never been in Doma Castle withe a PLD that used Sword oath only and never hit his enmity combo or used any cooldowns.

Seriously, but I think DRK is even worse. I'm in the process of getting it to 70 and it just doesn't feel fun most of the time. Being above 60 helps though.

I thought the best way was physical rotation first so you get the FoF buff on the req hit.

I've been doing that and popping a pot before my first royal authority because that will give me two RA, one Goring Blade, and all of my holy spirits inside the pot duration.

Is there a better way?

I like PLD's simplicity because I'm not very good at tanking. I can focus better on mechanics when my rotation is a bit less difficult. Less oGCDs to keep up with. DRK is pretty cool too, I just haven't been given many chances to play it at 70. I'm thinking I'm gonna start giving it a go in EXDR over PLD whenever I can't get friends to go with me.

I mean with regards to not just being innate. Tank, OT, or DPS you always want it on, and the MP restrictions seem trivial after the SB rework.

In theory you might want to disable it for mana regen during long down periods like chariot rear end in a top hat's super attack. In actuality? Eeeh.

Just queue for the dungeon normally, it's not like the early dungeons are difficult to tank.
