Is that even true? Don't you just need the expansion to access the new classes?

I was spamming my magitek cannon at the Ishgard gate last night and I forgot to teleport back to the goblet before the servers went down, I hope I don't end up in some sort of overcrowded zone purgatory when I try to log in tomorrow. Also kind of regretting preordering off Amazon since it looks like I won't even get the code so I can download the HW update until tomorrow.

I'm thinking about finally getting CNJ up to whatever level gets my SCH stoneskin now that you get a 100% experience bonus. I can't wait to be that guy pulling all the new classes queued for LLDR into Tam Tara and Sastasha

So were they just deposited at the beginning of the MSQ at 50 and forced to level-sync their way through the whole thing?

I've got MCH to 36 now, and I'm wondering, does anything on the way up ever really change the fundamental "1-2-3 with random chance of not getting 2 or 3 if ammo's on cooldown" thing? It's not really grabbing me at all, despite the allure of turrets at 40.

Honestly I think it's more that I'm not used to doing such low damage after being omni-50 for so long, it's kinda killing the hype buzz.

Who cares, play what you think is most fun.

Where's the data on this being posted? I'm planning to main MCH come hell or high water and I'd like to know what I'm in for.

Also, if it's that much of a problem, then the dev team will know it and buff the gently caress out of them come 3.1.

I've been looking up information on this because I'm at school and bored between classes, and some people are saying that you need to get gauss barrel before you can really judge MCH DPS because it's a big game changer, which is to be expected. The problem with that is that right now gauss barrel is a dps decrease because you trade about 30% of your dps in AAs for 20% increased damage on abilities. I'm not great at math, though, so maybe it really does even out at some point. Maybe you can drop guass barrel after dropping dots and your ammunition combo with some cooldowns and then put it back on when you've gotten a proc and your ammo back?

Also you still need to have balanced damage in low level content because they want everyone to be regularly going back and doing old content, so having a dps just be lovely at everything before 52 isn't cool. Last night I did a stone vigil run that took more than 45 minutes to finish with two Machinists. We didn't wipe on anything, and I wasn't pulling any differently than I do for other groups that take in the neighborhood of 30 minutes or so. It's been pretty consistent across all of the lower level dungeons that I've done for DRK that having a machinist in the group means the dungeon will take an extra 5-10 minutes, and having two of them guarantees it'll take an extra 15 or so. DRK feels like it's doing about the damage of a WAR, but even if I was just spamming flash for threat and doing no damage at all it wouldn't account for that much extra time.

On the other hand, DRK is baller as hell, definitely an A++ would roll again class.

But regardless of all that, you can't deny that the Bard playstyle has basically taken a 180 from what it was in ARR. You surely realize that saying ' but just dont use the 50+ skills!!!' is a dumb argument.

So it turns out Balmung matches the CT tank set, which I've always liked for its dumb goofy charm. May need to fix the hair but the haircut I like clips through the back of the armor, which makes me sad.

Has there been any word on a post 2.0 and 3.0 soundtrack release? I have the first two, but that's still a ton of missing content.

Like I already said, classes don't have to be 100% exactly like they are in single-player FF. Look at how they combined bard and archer into one class, or how black mages have a spell cycle with unlimited MP. If things were the way you think they'd be with red mage, then scholar would be a dps class that hits enemies with their books, with no pets or healing or damage spells. The weapon thing is a complete non-issue when they could just give red mages their own weapon type, like rapiers.

With the new Ninja changes, how hosed am I if I have a bit of lag? I'm trying to decide between Ninja and Monk, and I'm not sure which one I want to go with...Ninja looks super fun but if I play ninja I have to deal with other people who ALSO play ninja, and those people are always terrible.

Considering they're on Alex according to their quests, I'm assuming they just spammed leves and turnins to 50 without ever unlocking the class
