This is why, as tank, I sometimes set a really rapid pace in the dungeon and then stop abruptly right next to a larger-than-normal group of monsters' aggro range. One of the DPS usually gets antsy and stumbles past me and pulls and they all start getting cut the hell up and I just stand there waiting.

Then I come back in and with a single flash everything is under control again. Never forget who's running these loving dungeons, dragoons.

Yeah you sure showed .... them ...?

I'm sure authors of sprawling worlds like ff14s are not fans of players trying to insert themselves into places in the game that they have no business being in when there's already a spot in the game written for them

what I'm saying is gently caress RPers

Yeah, those gosh darn roleplayers are a menace, what with their ... hurting ... anyone, ever ...?

If I just came back for the first time since like, gently caress idk, 3.1? and my ilvl is a little under 210, what should I be doing? I feel like so much poo poo has changed since I took a break, I don't know the best way to get Lore, everything's confusing.

Goodness is immaterial to the conversation at hand? Someone asked for advice and the main advice to tell someone looking to start crafting is you need to level all of them or you will be barely functional so if you aren't willing to commit then don't bother.

i feel like it's okay to have discussions in this thread about ways the game could be improved; it isn't like there's another xiv thread to go to

I like the QoL stuff they debuted in that new blog post. Having minions spawn when you log in is nice, and the sitting/lounging change is something I never expected but now realize I always wanted.

in all honesty this would probably make pve too easy. rotational complexity is bad in pvp.

I agree w/ this, consolidated combos shouldn't be in pve

Consolidating combos in PVE would make it simpler, not easier, but simpler is not always better

Probably fairy suicides if it runs out.


Annoying complexity is never better though.

Monk has six buttons in its core rotation; cutting that down to, say, two (for back and side rotations) would make it much more difficult to weave the combos together as is often necessary for proper monk play.

I don't see how this is the case at all. One button shows rear attacks, one shows sides, they both change based on what form you're in.

you're right, I didn't think that example through

With the revamp, there will be no need to level multiple jobs if you only care about one.
