Josuke Higashikata posted:Red Mage is the best job for if you're tired or zoned out because you can still do decent while basically not doing anything at all. Pretty much this. It isn't too tier dps but it's pretty simple on top of being fun, and a solid choice if you don't trust the other party members to keep themselves alive. Which all comes together into making it a good "lazy exdr at the end of the day" job.

If you're on Excalibur and haven't made the gil needed by the time it opens for players, let me know. I'll help you out.

I know red mage is probably the worst DPS in high end stuff right now... but if you're not in high end stuff it turns out surprisingly useful. Yup. I've been averaging about 4 rezzes per Byakko run.

Saint Freak posted:Uh please respect the content and only single-pull and single-target dps. Leveling roulette put me in Aurum Vale yesterday with a DRK who tried this. He refused to touch his aoe skill and yelled at the healer for pulling aggro from him. "Dnt fkn attk" was his battle cry. I should have dropped, but I soldiered on to the 15 minute mark, which was 2 wipes in to the first boss. I'm pretty sure the BLM and healer were both relieved to see the abandon vote prompt pop up.

Shoutout to Bear Puncher, what the hell is up with O7N? Like.... this seriously did not seem that hard when I did it last week! I even had to run it half a dozen times to get my drop! Now I've got tanks that can't stay upright, DPS that wilt when you breathe on them, I just took one for the team, ate the lockout, and went to bed.

O3 is still the hardest normal fight of the Omega Raid.  That said, people die on O7 like it's out of style. I'm not really sure why since most of it is "Don't stand in the AOEs".

Eventually the DPS started getting that right, but man. I dunno. This one was particularly bad. The DRK that was MTing couldn't stay upright, and I was continually ripping threat, even Shirking on CD. Of course, THAT had to stop, because they couldn't stay upright, and as soon as they were rezzed, instead of taking a moment to get topped off, or waiting for weakness to fall off, NO, TAUNT, MUST ASSERT TANK DOMIN-*dead* SwissArmyDruid fucked around with this message at 00:34 on Feb 8, 2018 |

LITERALLY MY FETISH posted:Isn't that how the pull was done way back in the day? Before everyone being capped was assumed? The more conservative groups I've seen day one might do the first batch in two pulls, and maybe pull the ape pulls separately after the first boss. It didn't take long to go straight to the wall on the first two pulls, and pull both ape groups (maybe even the dogs with a caster LB).

Starting to get bored with DRK and just started SB so maybe it's time for a new class. (ARR was WHM, HW was DRK) I want something mobile so thinking melee dps. Does Ninja or Monk have a more distinctive play style? (like especially different from DRK as much as any class is in ffxiv)

When I was doing my runs this week my df party failed the demon circles and had 6 of the things spawn. That's only 2 circles actually done. My exact words were: 'dude we are cars here we need to do mechanics' 'Waitaminute, this thing is literally a machine.' 'We are literally mechanics that are applying percussive maintenance to break this machine.' 'Therefore we need to actually do it's mechanics.' Someone did the 'mah uptime' joke. 'yeah well doing encounters over is +100% uptime AND NO ONE WANTS THAT'

I actually like the tigerballs phase of the Byakko fight. It's a good time to decompress and get myself ready mentally for the hell that is dodging everything whilst wildfiring.Thundarr posted:I'm kind of disappointed in Byakko's music.

I don't mind it. I wouldn't mind if it was a bit shorter, or had a bit more to it, but in the end I'm fine with it. Only had a dozen or so clears so that might change if I start farming weapons.

Byakko is good but it's a really bad primal to learn because the first 5 minutes is a piss easy first phase followed by a long bullet hell sequence you can completely avoid by hugging the edge

Maybe someone can tell me, around the third phase of the Niddy fight I would just die, but no one beside me or in the whole group did. How stupid was I? E: granted my circle was probably covering up orange but in the off chance it wasn't thought I'd ask. A. Beaverhausen fucked around with this message at 03:31 on Feb 8, 2018 |

New people usually die there in the final phase because they run their stack marker to Mars and no one follows or, more likely, they get hit by the plus shaped explosions. Boss drops balls of fire. They detonate in a plus shape. It's not marked on the ground. Does it sound familiar? Lots of pugs take it to the face too but usually have the gear to survive. New people not so much.
