I feel like scholar got a lot in its 50-60 abilities. I especially like Deployment and Emergency Tactics because they give you tools to better manage where and when you want what galvanize shields, and what is a scholar without being obsessed with micromanaging? I also love Dissipation. It's not just useful in progression content, but also PvP content! And I know just how much other Final Fantasy XIV players want to get into PvP!

Emergency Tactics is great when you have just used an indom and still need to heal the party for a good chunk, so Swiftcast>Emergency>Succor does the job pretty well.

3.2 also improved SCH game by allowing you to macro Sacred Soil to a target. Macro it to cast on yourself and it's now an instant ability.

I loving hate Enochian still, but 3.2 made blm much smoother to play, so that I can finally play it without hating the game. The fights in general are more friendly as well in addition, but the 3.2 changes are the real difference maker. Also even in lovely gear I've crit for like 11k on Void Ark bosses so :getin: and all that.

This sounds interesting to me since I dropped BLM as my main shortly after getting it to 60 since I didn't really find it fun to play anymore. What 3.2 changes in particular make it more bearable now? Haven't touched the job in months.

I don't know if this got answered but they changed Astral Fire and Umbral Ice to last 12 seconds, and they did some changes to how buffs apply, those specifically apply after the spell casts rather than when it hits, meaning it feels very reactive. And it feels like there's a grace period on Enochian fading and you B4 going off. In general it feels more forgiving. It doesn't sound like much til you play around with it.

Awesome thanks! I'll have to try it out again to see if it feels better.

The tanks I hate the most are the jittery tanks who make it really hard to tell when they're going to stop moving all the mobs around. Just let me drop my shadow flare you dick! :argh:

And don't get me started on the tanks that move the mobs out of my bishop turrets range. Especially when i move the turret to where they went and they move AGAIN.

I'm trying to dodge aoes. put down your shadowflare and I'll get the mobs in it. If there isn't a ground aoe, I'm not to worried about keeping them all in one spot for casters.

Guess I should have clarified. I mean specifically tanks that shepard the mobs around like they are trying to herd them into a paddock. If you stop at a spot for 2 seconds, I will assume that is where you will stay until they are all dead, but nope, there's the odd tank who will decide "this spot sucks" and move them another 10 feet after i've finished casting.

Most tanks don't do this, thankfully.

Do I just keep dumping my attribute points into Dex as a Ninja Galka or should I splash into some other areas?

Hit 50 last night and I'm enjoying the stat boost from the full set of Gloam gear I've gotten through story progression.

If you get stressed about stat allocation, theres a cheap item you can get from your Grand Company that resets your stat points (for your current class) so there's no need to worry too much about placement if you think you messed it up.

I like every single weapon they showed. If I had to pick a least favourite, i'd go with AST's just because it doesn't have the same impact as the others and looks kind of boring, but i'd still want it.

I love discovering new background fluff in this game. I was wandering around Mor Dhona a few weeks back and saw this miqo'te girl in arcanist gear looking around and saying "Where has he gotten to now?" and as soon as she turns her back a carbuncle summon pops up and sniffs around a few boxes. I was so amazed I just stood there for like 20 minutes watching the whole thing.

All of these kb+m UI's are so filthy and disgusting. We need more controller SCH's.



This is my main hotbar but I have most of the other SCH abilities on my L2+R2 and R2+L2 bars. I have a mostly sensible setup for my SCH where all healing abilities are accessed with one hand and dps abilitites with the other. So I hold down R2 to get my main healing abilities that I use the most and any situational or ogcd heals I just hold down the L2 to get to them. Same with dps, just reversed. For fairy management I have a third bar that has the abilities for the fairy I currently have summoned and sic/obey buttons. The 2 summon buttons are macros that swap out the fairy abilities depending on which button is pressed. I also have an embrace pet macro on my main bar that I mash when I don't feel like healing the tank.

That pet hotbar on top of my main bar is purely for visual aid to show me when my fairy abilities are no longer on cooldown. It's the same with the two bars in the bottom right corner of the screen, they're just there so I can see abilitiy cooldowns.

drunk asian neighbor posted:

I've never used kb/m, but now that I'm levelling jobs with more than 2 crossbars worth of abilities, I've been considering switching over. I'm worried I'm going to be terrible at it.

This is from the previous page, but you can play every single job in this game with controller very easily and comfortably.

edit: oh okay, general UI stuff.... My focus bar isn't visible either but I have it placed to the right of my character. My target bar, party list and enmity list are all in the default position. I thought about maybe moving the status bar so its closer to the centre of the screen but it didn't really work out too well so it's also back at default. It's been so long that I can't remember if I moved the EXP or HP/MP bars from default.

I've got MCH up to 50 now and noticed the gauss barrel at 52 will really change things up. Is there any situation to not have it on?

Always Barrel. The only situation it would help to take it off is if you need to kill adds in a short amount of time and also move a round a lot which doesn't happen very often. Once you get to 60 you'll have some more abilities that you can only use while the barrel is on and they are all really good and useful.
