Mo0 posted:Finally on the last leg of my trip home. Anyone willing to indulge my need for info and describe how AST plays in comparison to WHM now that you've had a couple days to get acquainted with it? It feels not quite as effective at direct healing as a WHM, and not quite as effective at shielding as a SCH. Don't get me wrong, it can hold its own, you're just not really going to be healchamp 2k15, or popping massive boners at your gigantic shields the way scholar will. The cards are super fun, especially once you get royal road, spread, and shuffle in the mix. Otherwise yeah, it's going to have an eerily familiar feel to white mage, with just a bit of distinction in some of the flavor spells (aspected benefic, for example). I like the job a ton coming from SCH, and never really liked WHM, so clearly it's got something "more" than WHM has going for it from my perspective. edit: vvvvv you're not wrong about stance dancing being risky. Essential Dignity is Really Good and lets you play russian roulette with your tank (a low-hp dignity heals for nearly full), but you can only do that once every 60s. kojei fucked around with this message at 15:05 on Jun 21, 2015 |

Renegret posted:That brings up another issue with AST buffs, to get the best use out of the skills, you really have to have a pretty good understanding of most of the classes in the game. Whenever I get The Spire, I have no idea who to dump it on since I don't know which classes benefit the most from TP reduction since the only TP using class I've taken to 50 has been warrior. Any non-caster during an aoe fight in dungeon content. Monks, ninjas, bards in 8-man stuff. It's kinda a bad card for 4-mans because nothing lasts long enough for it to be any good outside of aoe packs, and those seem to be dying off with every patch.

seiferguy posted:I haven't played AST yet, but looking at their abilities, it seems like it outclasses WHM in every way. What's the benefit to sticking to WHM now? It really doesn't. It's slightly weaker than WHM at raw healing, and slightly weaker than SCH at shielding. WHM is still going to be King poo poo of raw healing, so if that's why you liked that job then keep with it. That said, AST is super fun and has really nice utility that can't really be replaced with the other two healer jobs.

rock2much posted:I thought the Raw Intuition bug was a good bug? I'm only half paying attention to the crit heals I get when I pop it. Are they halved otherwise or something? They're not a guaranteed crit otherwise. It's like the opposite of the Awareness bug from 2.0 and there's no way it's staying.

a cat on an apple posted:Also, it doesn't seem to count as a Channeled spellcast - you can just sit there and tank damage so long as it doesn't disposition you without ever being interrupted, and with as strong healing as it offers, dodging telegraphs is more than optional. Amusingly enough, even if you get knocked up on, say, the last boss of Neverreap, it will still stay in effect.

Ciaphas posted:The fact that these questions have to be asked speaks volumes for how awful FFXIV (and SE in general) account management is Not really, though. The dude's being incredibly vague about what he's done, and if he had actually followed the directions the game gives you for getting set up, he wouldn't be having difficulties figuring out what an "Enix ID" is considering it literally guides you through the process. FFXIV account management is dead simple if you can read.

I thought I could get some help from someone who may have experienced issues, and all I get is I can't read. have you attempted to start the game up at all yet because that's got big buttons to mash for creating accounts and stuff on first launch edit: if by "played before" you mean "played during 1.0" just log in with the information you used for that account.

Give SAM a tank stance that automatically increases the rate of parry from the front by some high number that approaches 100%, from the sides by some slightly lesser amount. Mitigation cooldowns could then increase the effectiveness of parries by some amount so you'd be mitigating +20% damage from parry or whatever. Give it a guaranteed parry for tankbusters, and some way to mitigate magical damage and congrats you have a (somewhat) unique tank
