Brother Entropy posted:when you have an enemy targeted there are aggro bars where your party hp/mp/etc are over the class/job icons for everyone, make it a habit to tab around all the enemies every once in awhile to see if anyone's getting close to aggroing one particular enemy off of you Be warned that there's a bit of lag before the aggro bars load (it's clear the client only gets sent this information for your current target so when you switch you have to wait for a round trip between client and server) so you can't tab that quickly between enemies.

Basically just watch the enemy health bars - DPS gets agro by dealing damage, so if you notice that something you haven't hit in a while has its health dropping, switch to that target and do some damage on it before returning to your main target. Healers get agro from absolutely everything, so either use some AOE threat generation (flash/ovewpower) every now and then, or in groups of 2-4 enemies, just spread your 1-2-3 emnity combo out between every enemy. Your combo attacks don't have to be used on the same enemy as the previous step of the attack, so never feel like you're locked in to only a single enemy

I don't suppose there's any fancy 3rd party tools (or simple UI adjustments) to make DoT tracking easier as a Summoner, is there? Maybe it's just me being blind as hell but I regularly lose track. Be easier if I could detach the target health from the target (de)buff UI element  (current ui)

So I didn't even know the Zu mount existed until they put the recolor of it up on the cash shop, and when I went to see how to get it, turns out my FC's airship had only just then hauled in the spoil. So now astride, the proud owner of an adorable megabirb.  I have named him Pete. He looks like a Pete.

But it has been a long time since I have played FFXI, and the less we talk about that game the better.

Also hearing a friend on Skype have some sort of breakdown when he saw Stinging Sophie in E.Shroud was hilarious.

There is a special place in my heart for post 50 healers I meet in duty finder who DPS, but not in cleric stance. Someone told me about the /comfort thing for misery and I tried it a few times but it never worked. I assumed I had been properly trolled for believing such a thing. Maybe it was range that made it not work? I'm honestly not sure how I feel about cross class abilities for non-white mage healers. On one hand, it's kind of nice that they generally have a full set of useful cross class abilities. On the other hand, it's annoying that I feel compelled to shuffle things around for, say, pvp vs pve. I kind of wish they'd just take protect out of the game so I could have a free slot. I don't really feel the spell is unique enough to really exist anymore, but maybe I'm just a crazy scholar who wishes I didn't have to switch cleric stance out for surecast whenever I pvp.

A lot of the dumb poo poo like that is the stuff that I liked about XI In hindsight outside of the context of grinding a lot of the Actual Content ideas are kinda neat but they just suffer a ton from the game being utterly slow as molasses

I mean beyond plot stuff, I like a lot of the exploration things. Like, the concept of the Altepa Gate is really neat to me but it's utterly hamstrung by player movement being overwhelmingly slow and killing mobs to get to the pillars takes forever so it ends up going from a neat zone puzzle to a several hour long slog because it's just so slow. I could pretty much apply the same statement to every unique puzzle or area progression mechanic in the game

I really truly loved a lot of things about FFXI, and I did so much random crap (at the game's glacial pace) that I never even hit the cap after years and years of playing. I think I got to BLM Maat and never beat him.

I kind of feel bad when it's the start of a DF dungeon and the tank pulls two packs but I fail to heal him because Cleric Stance decides to double-toggle to mock me. Then he proceeds to single pack-pull even though I know I should be able to handle it.

URL grey tea posted:Fun facts for life. Speaking of Amdapor tricks, it's fun to watch people get confused when you dispell the Gremlins Misery debuff by using /rally or /comfort. The debuff doesn't really do much but it's funny. The debuff is actually pretty annoying when the tank pulls everything and then gets it. Removing it helps a ton.

Use aetherial manip as much as you can, scathe if you need to, and make others move in the daat spread phase. The might/magic is rng, pray you can stand still. P3 ruins dps though. Think i just about get 1k there even with the seph staff. There's a good blm pov clear video on Reddit but i can't link you since I'm on my phone
