Martman posted:Had my first failure of a PUG group today because of a derp tank, in Brayflox's Longstop. I've been told it's a common hurdle for, you know, idiots. That dragon seems like the most serious test of "can you avoid standing on bad things?" so far. Its a roll of the dice everytime with a pub group. I did 2 runs today each with a paladin tank. I was the WHM healer. First run went flawlessly, second run the tank had zero aggro whatsoever. Every single pull came straight for me when I cast my first heal. Nevertheless, this game is fun as hell and has grabbed me like no game has since EQ1 in '99 when you can!

Aurain posted:Man, the last 4 Brayflox runs I've attempted on my grind for that set have all had Gladiator/Marauder tanks in lovely gear. I'm incredibly well geared as the healer so I can just about manage to keep them up through the first three bosses, but it's difficult and the chest pulls body people. On my last run I had a tank stand right in the middle of his narrow corridor AOE attack, each time it would knock him down to 1/4 HP. Needless to say: I was out of mana pretty quick. I thought Haukke was an idiot check but Brayflox is on a whole 'nother level

Doublestep posted:You don't even have to say it, most controller users are fairly obvious just from moving (you'll walk instead of run a lot on other players screens) It must be hard for them to respond to anything in party chat too? We had a lovely tank in a brayflox run and we were trying to explain to him what to do for the last boss but the dude would not respond or acknowledge anything in chat. We chalked it up to: maybe he didnt speak english

jerichojx posted:1. Did you do your class quest? All class quests give a level appropriate weapon. I'm only level 40 but do the class quests quit after 30? I havent been back to check lately but I'm pretty sure I didnt get one at 35..

AdamXIII posted:With server xfers coming up I'm looking for an FC for me and my SO. I'm a 50 PLD workin on AK farming and primal HM's. I'd really like an FC with some more casual players but also at least 1 raiding group. I want to raid but when I play with my SO i switch over to a lower level class/job. I'm happy to tank things for people and help out form time to time. Also be good if there's an active voice chat server. It's pretty casual but there are a group of 50's that are grinding the high level stuff, and the linkshell on Midgard is pretty active too.

Mordiceius posted:Holy gently caress. I'm really loving conjurer healing. I'm only level 20 and have only run the first three instances... but it feels so good. It feels like holy paladin healing circa Burning Crusade. I played Conj up to 30 and unlocked WHM and loved the healing too, and then you get into the 30+ instances with 40,000 aoe's going off everywhere and constantly having to be moving and was like

RuanGacho posted:As someone who rolled Dragoon first and is now leveling arcanist for both jobs I can tell you both are fine, being a drg can be kind of hard at times, as it's a little more involved than initial impressions may make you think, it's hard and nobody understands. Oddly enough I'm waay more satisfied leveling rather than just sitting on my thumb being 50. I started off Dragoon too and then deleted that char when I ended up with 3 hotbars worth of abilities and combos to manage. Then I rolled a Bard and played that up to 50, finished the storyline and then looked at all the raids I had to complete just to get the class weapon let alone all the darklight poo poo. So that character is sitting now as I play a Paladin and WHM

jsr v2.0 posted:I did my Titan relic fight using the DF on Diablos. I'm a BLM - the queue was never longer than 10 minutes. Not sure if it was due to a lack of DPS queuing for Titan or what, but I never had to wait. I also cleared it on the 3rd group I joined. This current crop of DF guys are probably people on their 2nd or 3rd 50 trek by now. I've noticed pugs getting better at poo poo across the board, from Haukke to Brayflox on up.

Musket posted:So this BRD stuff. We dont actually use your songs much? I keep hearing we are nothing but "huntards without pets" who could use songs but really dont. In a FATE group lastnight, bored waiting for one to pop, I used my [Chocobo Mazurka][Gather] macro/song and got laughed at... "Bard dont sing bro, they just pewpew". I've used the mana song in Brayflox before, people used to ask for it in fates (DD) RIP Dark Devices, and then again in CM. It definitely doesnt feel like a support class like an EQ1 Bard where what songs they were singing was like the most important thing they did. I hope they flesh out the class more over time

cheetah7071 posted:So, I've started taking up Botany in my spare time, an have noticed that some of the items in the 1-5 level range only list level 30 and level 50 trees as dropping them. Any idea what's up with that? You should hit level 5 chopping maple logs outside Gridania easily.

OWLS! posted:Dunno, I've run into a some really bad tanks. I came back recently after taking a couple months off and only encountered one really bad DF tank who ignored adds beating on the healer so I kited the adds off the healer with my Bard. One thing I noticed with the low level roulette is healers really dont like Haukke. I had one queue where four times in a row the healer dropped as soon as they seen it was Haukke. Haukke hasnt been hard since forever wtf healers

CrimsonObserver posted:Gold Saucer has been confirmed between the last two live letters, they've even shown concept art of it being a city in the sky. We just don't have timing nailed down other than most likely before 3.0. I would totally come back for Gold Saucer. Is there room on Excalibur yet?
