that entire JP onry promo for really cool glamour gear and a mount is the worst idea they've had since the overtuning of A1-4S and verminion

it's going to piss off the entire English-speaking community

Eh with Monster Hunter the same poo poo happens all the time and it accomplishes fuckall so honestly other than gnashing of teeth on the OF nothing will happen.

there's a big difference here; all the items in that promo are in the game files, available as actual items but with no way of obtaining them. Other exclusives they have done have been unique to their regions (china or korea) and not been part of the game files that we share with the Japanese language version. This the first time they've pulled something like this for this game, and it's really not an acceptable situation because we're not going to be in a situation where someone who has these items can be on NA or EU servers as they please and show off their poo poo. Based on flags on the items in the game files, these are going to be account-wide items like veteran rewards

So they're the new Houses? :v:

I was going to say it probably had more to do with you taking twice as much damage as the other DPS, but then I saw you're playing dragoon :v:

To be fair, pre-50 (Those are pre-50 numbers right?) Astrologian has loving dick-all for DPS options. However, if they're not even casting Malefic when they get a chance, yeah, they're bad.

Nah, that was a level 50 dungeon (Amdapor Hard I think? I'm not at my PC right now to check, been unlocking all the 50 dungeons for 50DR)

Yeah, I did use my Ring of Thorns off of Heavy Thrust, though it was sometimes hard to get the positional to get it to trigger because the tank was kind of fidgety. I should work on that. But overall, I guess I just can't expect to do much damage in AoE packs and let it be. I'm just so used to doing really really well in trials and raids and pvp and stuff, so I was in shock at my dismal AoE pack numbers. Thanks for all the advice, though!

I main DRG and was at first upset at how bad AoE is for the class but then didn't care when I realized that you end up doing enough damage to bosses due to amazing single target DPS that you still do more damage in a dungeon than most casters (really good SMNs can blow by me though).

Cool, because AST has the DPS toolkit of a wet noodle at 50. They have Malefic, which is a stone 1 analogue, and Combust/aero if they cross classed it. Not sure if you unlock Combust 2 pre 50 or not but yeah, an AST going full out DPS in pre-HW content probably will manage to contribute about 10-20 or so DPS without crippling their healing abilities. Of course once you get Gravity and all the other poo poo it's pretty good, and they pull into parity with other healers for DPS.

In short you're a loving mong.

So they shouldn't dps at all and just wait around to heal, got it.

I think what I didn't make clear was that was the DPS for the entire run. He did literally less damage in the 20min dungeon than one limit break at the end.

You are not, and never will be, considered a healer of any capacity at all. You're nothing but a glorified DPS that shrugs off all responsibility of the role to the other, infinitely more competent healer while you're off in your own little world spamming dps abilities and occasionally throwing up an Adlo if the stars align and it's necessary. No strategy, no planning, if things go tits up you don't even have the healing power to salvage the raid, you just roll over and die.

But that's just what I've seen from every Scholar I've ever met from 2.5 to now, so I guess people enjoy pretending to be a DPS.

The downside being...?

I'm currently using the cheapest possible license and hosting solution for the forums software I want (IPS' 'community in the cloud', $20/mo for 20 concurrent users) and it doesn't include SSL. If I want them to provide SSL, I need to pay an extra $15/mo, and if I want to host it myself I need to pay $300 up front for the software.

$20/mo is about the limit for what I feel comfortable spending out of pocket for the hosting. If HTTPS is something that people absolutely require then I'll put in the request to bump up the plan and put a tip jar up on the front page.
