I'm almost looking forward to leveling WHM at some point after I tire of MNK, just so I can see how hard the healer check really is--it just hasn't SEEMED that hard from a DPS perspective, but then I usually don't fall victim to the mechanics (anymore )

I have a good idea, let's let our own fears and insecurities blind us to what anyone is actually saying and scream at each other over the imagined slights that are simply not present in a statement like "maybe it would be good if DPS had some in-game indication as to whether they are meeting the minimum standard performance level for the content they are doing" for like, 30 more goddamned pages.

Divine Veil isn't a spell. It isn't cast. It's an ability. It's 10% of the healer's HP.

Anyone else unable to bind F13-F24 in this game? I submitted a bug report, but I figure I'd ask just in case I'm doing something wrong.

No, the EN team made the mistake. They changed the name of a monster cause it was too close to Titan and ask the JP team if that was ok. Then months later the JP team used the name they changed to for another monster. The correct thing would have been to translate the name correctly even if it was close to Titan. Now we have a completely made up name that isn't a reference to FF at all.

Should I throw balance on the DPS or on the tank to maximize his DPS and to better take advantage of his str accessories?

Freaksaus posted:

Wait, does this mean I still have to tp to Idlyshire and then to the Hinterlands? Why not just add an aetheryte in the Hinterlands itself?

The only reason this is an issue for me is because it takes quite a while for my pc to load Idlyshire. Maybe it's just time to upgrade my pc.

At the risk of scaring people away from Balmung even further, I discovered something truly horrible today. There was someone advertising that they were willing to sell their housing plot in the party finder, and upon checking their search info, I found that they were an RPer like much of the server but, well.. also this. http://tinyurl.com/magidysea

I am leveling MCH on the side currently because I find the class fun, even if it is not the best DPS. However, at least in the 30s, I have been having the problem of running out of TP in long fights. Am I doing something wrong? I refresh hot shot and lead shot when appropriate, and use rapid fire when it is up.

My highest level job is WAR, where if you are running out of TP then you are doing something very wrong, so I don't know if this is normal for physical DPS classes.

Featherfoot doesn't work on bosses, only trash IIRC.

Awareness is better even if its situational because it will work.

If by that, you mean "if I wanted cast times attached to my skills, I would be a loving BLM" then I don't get it because you can turn Minuet off?

I recently installed Win10 and FF14 was crashing saying I didn't have a valid directx version. I'm assuming it doesn't recognize dx12.

I downloaded the DirextX update from MS support and I saw it installing a bunch of dx9 poo poo. Now when I play, I swear the graphics are shittier than before, but

I'm not sure if now I'm just looking really closely for issues. I see water and surface reflections and smoke effects which I'm pretty sure dx9 didn't do, but some textures look like hot rear end.

Here's a screenshot from one of the last 2.55 MSQs I just took. Does this look like DX11? That chair...

I just bought Heavensward despite being a kickass level 25 lancer because I had some leftover Amazon fun bucks in another country, is there anything I can do with Heavensward now/before 50?

Sure, if you're a loving horrible WAR with absolutely no sense of introspection or ability to play WAR beyond level 10.

Cross-platform questions:

I've had a steam copy as well as a ps4 copy of ARR for about a year and a half. I just resubbed, and bought heavensward on ps4. I got to heavensward content and am now level 54 and logged off in cloudtop.

What will happen if I log into my steam copy, which I don't have heavensward for???

Will I be taken back to level 50 lol?

Will I be warped back to an ARR zone?

What about my heavensward gear that I have equipped?

Anderron Shi posted:

lolololol

edit: until i purchase my second copy of heavensward for the same account, on which i own two licenses to the original game already anyway, right?

Anderron Shi posted:

I just want to play arr

Dr Pepper posted:

Actually you can still be an Au Ra if you made it in Heavensward and log into ARR content.

I speak from experience doing that before I got it for PS4.
