Velthice posted:you should get a tank friend anyway because 99% of those drks are going to be garbage I'm all for believing in people, but there's going to be a huge amount of people who have never tanked in their life, and they're being told to make heads or tails out of more than a dozen abilities the first time they hit that queue button. It's going to be bad.

SpaceDrake posted:They actually have been tallying both the SaGa games and Chrono Trigger with the Final Fantasy series in other crossover products to ensure those games get exposure at all, so it's not impossible, really. I'd love a Black Omen-inspired raid. If you get loot on Savage, you can get more loot in Story, but not vice-versa?

Completely ignoring the content of them, the new solo instances are really cool and a huge step up from even the tail end of 2.x. I wonder how long they've been working on them.

Minrad posted:People seem to universally dislike a lot of the new abilities or class mechanics. Scholar 52/54 are both fantastic. Scholar 56 is.. interesting sounding, but it really should be self-targetable, because it makes spreading Adlo a huge headache. Scholar 58 and 60 both look very bad on paper, but I haven't gotten to try either.

Jabu posted:So apparently neither Lustrate nor Indomitability is affected by the healing boosts from Fey Illumination and Dissipation. Is that intended? I imagine it's as intended as your faerie getting shittier as you level. Scholar is very powerful even in 3.0, but it's got some weird rough spots like that - if it is intentional, it makes Scholar/Warrior actively a bad choice. Also, I actually got some use out of Dissipate on Bismarck EX, but it's still way too weak for what they want it to do. 3 aetherflow stacks and Divine Seal just aren't worth 2k mana and losing Embrace, even if you aren't losing your faerie's cooldowns. It needs a Faerie freecast at the end, or to restore mana (either over time or like Aetherflow).

We managed to pop and kill her a couple of days ago on Sargantanas, and she had an AoE that was 1-shotting just about everyone on the server aside from a few tanks & truly hardcore players.

Ciaphas posted:Oh yeah, I did everything necessary for flight in every zone. I actually rather like the exploration aspect 57 -> 59 was really awful for the few people I knew who were ahead of me, so while this is obviously too late for me, this is my advice for anyone hitting the level range: Just queue for the 57 Story dungeon as many times as you can tolerate. It gives so much chain EXP that you're much better off spamming it at 57 and then continuing the story at 58.

Psyker posted:How does this game play? It controls a lot like WoW, but slower. It's definitely ARPG rather than JRPG, but the controls are smooth and responsive, and the game can be played without issue on controller or mouse+keyboard. The game's biggest strengths are an enjoyable levelling experience and an absolutely stellar soundtrack, which is probably my favorite FF soundtrack full stop after 3.0. As far as weaknesses? It can be difficult to get on to your friends' server if they're on a popular one, and levelling DPS classes is definitely more of a chore than tanks or healers. Also, you need two service accounts to cross-play between PS4 and PC.

Intoluene posted:It was also a huge barrier to entry for 3.0 crafting. That's fair - it'll make levelling all of those classes a lot more reasonable, especially on a light budget. SpaceDrake posted:(Naw but seriously, we're supposed to do what now to keep remotely up with Warriors?... Bueller?...) On this, though, I rather suspect you aren't, but we'll have to wait for the first balance patch to see what that entails. Relatedly, I hope they address the weirdness of Fairy scaling in 3.0 - thanks to either a bug or change in the way 51-60 fairies calculate their stats, level 60 fairies heal for less as a percentage of your other heals than they did at 50. If you take a level 50 and a level 60 Scholar with equal MND and WD, the level 50's fairy heals for about 25% more

Eimi posted:Finding a new caster would be hard, in my limited FF experience. Black mage is already in the FF verse the one size fits all elementalist master mage. We have smn already. Sch was a dps, but is in as a healer. Whm is basically geomancer. What's left? An Elementalist/Geomancer type class that skill chains along an Elemental wheel, rather than just the Fire/Ice cycle of Black Mage. Classes can easily share elements, as long as they don't share a motif or mechanics. Give them 6 basic spells, a couple of AoE spells that fall outside, and a bunch of ways to combine them.

Realtalk: both Expert final bosses can get sketchy if your group is getting extra cycles. It shouldn't wipe you if you're actually good at your class, but Curator in a sub-150 group is tight on the healer's mana even if no one gets hit because of the dispels. If your tank and/or DPS are bad, I can definitely see how you can struggle there.

Tae posted:Newbie, doing a trial run because I heard so much about 14. I started as an arcanist, but wanted to switch to a pugilist. I read up that my starting area is closed off until level 15, so should I just start a new character since my gear is the complete opposite of melee? Are the mainland quests different enough from the island quests? Just play through until 15. It doesn't take a terribly long time (maybe 6~ hours?) to get to Ul'dah for the first time, and you'll appreciate the extra EXP for Pugilist from the Armory system. If you just don't like Arcanist, that's another thing, but since all progress is permanent level-wise I can't really recommend throwing away a character to start over.

Rei_ posted:Real talk has anyone ever been asked to leave a dungeon? I've seen people get super salty over healers contributing to DPS but normally roulette is pretty chill I've gotten kicked from exactly one dungeon - a Keeper of the Lake in which the tank could not keep healing aggro from me (a Scholar), despite being in Shield Oath / 110 weapon, and was adamant that I was loving with them somehow. I told them they were the worst tank i've ever dealt with with after our second wipe to the first boss, and they rage kicked me. To this day, i've never wiped to the first boss of Keeper except with that tank. Niton fucked around with this message at 00:31 on Jul 6, 2015 |

nuru posted:I'm a SCH. Hi. As a Scholar, it's still nice to use in the rare situations where your Expert tank can handle 5+ mobs, but it's a lot more niche than it is on Summoner, since our filler spells are 200 and 170 potency. Summoner should basically be spamming it any time it's safe to on 3+ mobs once their higher potency spells have been expended. e: Also it's great for overworld stuff and soloing~

nuru posted:I was wrong and stand corrected. I acknowledged that. I run Aero/Blizz2 and skip Stoneskin. Even with the changes, i've yet to run into a single situation where i've found myself wishing I had Stoneskin on top of Adlo. It's still good, mind, but if the same person is pre-casting Adlo and Stoneskin, it's both a ton of time and (more importantly) a ton of mana.

hobbesmaster posted:Its also possible that the turret's behavior on the live server is different from the dev server. SMN pet potency seem to be buggy as well according to reddit. Except in the SMN case any potential missing DPS would bring the class from "good" to "lol why did you bring a BLM" SMN pet damage doesn't seem to be bugged, but Scholar's absolutely is. Faerie healing throughput drops by more than a third between levels 51 and 60, even accounting for gear. It'd be really easy to notice if SMN had the same problem, and I haven't seen any evidence pointing to it the way i've gone over SCH numbers.

Ibram Gaunt posted:Since Savage is the real "meat" of the raiding experience they're going to want people to be running it as much as possible so I have a hard time picturing them doing something that guarantees loot, regardless of how nice it'd be. You've got 4 turns and 12 slots to fill. If you have each one drop the three tokens each week, you're still looking at 2 months of Alex (Hard) per class. That seems more than fine, especially if people want gear for any alts.

Obligatum VII posted:So, ever since... I'm not sure if it was immediately after the expansion or a little while after it, every night at 8 PM EST, my connection becomes unplayably bad (though interestingly, never outright DCs). I recall some other folks mentioning encountering this issue and thinking it may be related to having Verizon as an ISP? Did something go weird with their connectivity to the FF14 servers sometime relatively recently? Has anyone else encountered this problem and found a way around it (switching ISPs is sadly not an option. Only other choice is comcast. And THEY had a connection that outright DCed constantly and was unstable for things other than just FF14 at a specific time of night)? Use WTFast, it completely fixes things since it hides the game's traffic from the (netflix) throttling.

Rei_ posted:The relationship between it and Bard is weird, like Bard offers consistent MP/TP regen whereas MCH can alternate between really crappy and THE BEST EVER MP/TP regen in bursts. Foe's is pretty good mdmg boost, but MCH can offer phys or mdmg in smaller quantities without hurting their own DPS output (or even boosting it with bishop hypercharge) In practical terms, I really like how MCH's mana regen works - because Hypercharge is only a 2 minute cooldown, it allows you to focus on burst regen rather than sustained regen, and you can get most of it off during a transition.

Yeah, the volume of Crystals stays the same.. the actual volume of clusters (per moraine) is lower, though.
