Great OP, Chairdude. This FATE guide has helped me keep my "where do I go??" spam out of the FC: http://accomp.me/ffxiv/fate-farming-guide/

jsr v2.0 posted:Typically, tanks hate being told what to do, or being challenged in any way. Just look at this thread. They'll drop instance if 1 DPS is doing something they don't like, loving over everyone else. I don't mind suggestions on how to not be a lovely tank. I think I'm doing fine but there are times when we die and I question what I'm doing and I'm always open to suggestions. That being said, my first 8 or so runs of AK I was told to position the end boss 4 different ways. Nowadays I tell the party "he's going to face me in the corner" and that's that. I really should get into the habit of letting some of the party die if they are clearly in the wrong but I keep saving them if it's an option because I just want to get these tomes and be the gently caress out

PUPPY PUZZLE posted:It's been pretty bad in FC chat lately. You can't bring up anything without it becoming a pissing contest. Really? It's been mostly decent besides a few bad apples when I'm on. Though I'm mostly talking in linkshells to escape the crazies and don't read all the fc banter.

Downtime posted:outside of a few hard stat minimum requirements What hard stat minimums are there besides maybe 4k+ HP? Sometimes we don't get enough DPS into the conflag before it explodes but maybe we can tell our guys what to aim for. pld, war (me), whm, mnk, sch, brd, blm, drg is our normal party comp for this fight.

Downtime posted:3900+ HP I believe would be closer to the minimum for a 4 stack, though you would want your tanks to be as high as possible to deal with the death sentences. Otherwise I meant it more as an "ideal" gear check for minimum stats such as Relic+1, and maybe an iLvl average of 80 or so? The fight was designed/tested by players with full 90, though I think that is overkill. Yea. PLD has been doing all the main tanking, I drop Defiance for dps and Berzerk the second conflag onwards. We started with a 4 stack and the conflag wasn't staying up enough. Went to a 3 stack and I guess just had poo poo luck. Went back to the 4 stack and got passed the phase. Hoping we can do it again this weekend so we know it wasn't just a fluke. Meiteron posted:For the record 4500 HP minimums is for 3-stacking fireballs which gives you another 5 seconds on the next conflag. If you are only occasionally letting them blow it means you're not quite pushing enough DPS; like others have said use cooldowns on the 2nd and 4th conflags (the fast ones) to speed the kills on those. Seconds count, so if proper cooldown use isn't cutting it either your group should move to 3-stack fireballs or your dps need a couple more i90 pieces to make up the difference. Yea it was me, the fairy and whoever got the fireball. Sometimes that part would get borked because of nerves I guess? Conflags in the middle of the group or solo people eating fireballs. Maybe our gear is there and we just need practice. rock2much fucked around with this message at 06:51 on Dec 5, 2013 |

ActionZero posted:Can anyone explain to me why, when my group attempts Twintania, 50% of the time two of the Scourges of Meracydia will instantly aggro me when I'm behind everyone else not doing anything? We have a limited amount of time to do T5 attempts and this isn't helping. As OT/War in this fight, I run in and get first aggro on everything and the PLD gets Twin off of me. Infuriate before I run in, Vengeance as soon as the mobs pop up as red squares, Steel Cyclone to keep their attention.

Meiteron posted:Both melee jobs are actually pretty involved by a large margin with a fair amount of movement, positioning, and skill cycles. Forced to choose between the two I'd pick monk. If you want something simple and easy, go bard, or black mage. I think I might level bard for the weekly tome things I guess. Thanks for the input.

drunk asian neighbor posted:Wait it's specific FATEs for specific atmas? I thought it was one atma per region, and any FATE in the region could drop them? As I understand it, you get 1 atma from each of the 12 zone's fates for a total of 12. Then you turn them in, some dialog happens, and they tell you to kill x mobs, do x dungeons, and participate in x specific fates.

Niton posted:At my current rate of aquisition (1 Atma / 4 Hours), it would take me as long to grind out 1500 myth as it does to farm up an Atma. Except the Myth grinding requires less brainpower. My atma farm has mostly been ride up, dismount, level sync, pop 3 flashes, ride to the next one. Got 2 levels on my chocobo though!

sassassin posted:Everyone who plays mmos has a social disorder That's maybe the one thing that I miss from FFXI the most: I had a reason to talk to people not in my linkshell (FC). I barely talk to the people I don't coil with as-is. On the other hand, when I'm in a lovely group of something, I don't have to seek a new party and compete for mobs or whatever the equivalent would be for XIV. How sadistic am I for wanting something to be implemented that makes you party with strangers on your native server? Why am I sympathizing with my XI-captors???

Mr. Leonheart posted:The thing is though, I can actually track my progress with crafting, gathering, and tome grinding. There's nothing to indicate whether or not I am any closer to getting another atma, nor is there any indication of how long it might take. At the very least, if I can ever get to the point where I'm doing the books, I can actually track my progress. I'm surprised there's no FFXI style chart telling you which weather/day/direction to face while fate-ing for best results.

Rei_ posted:Is every MMO community this mean to tanks? :< I've gotten to party with some very patient goons when I first started. Off-tanking Garuda hard while trying to tab target the correct sister and position her away from the tornados/group should've earned me some poo poo talk. Now I only get poo poo from DF pubbies that attack the unmarked mob and I purposefully don't tank it. Though that's more for my amusement than anything. If people are making GBS threads on you that much either it's you and you can probably adjust really quickly once you know what's wrong. Or you party with assholes and as a goon you should be better at ignoring/griefing them

I'm thinking about starting a second character, but don't know what to choose (Randomly picked Jenova for my first character since it was first on the list). Excalibur is the home base but we have some weirdos on Ultros I think.

He *wants* you to be forced to choose just one I could see him wanting doing this to each class, especially MRD (WAR tank, berzerker melee) and GLA (PLD to DRK). Not sure where he'd go with PUG and LNC though, if you have to keep the same style weapon.
