Even with DF groups, I think the most explanation I had to give in Vault was "don't stand in front of / beside portals or you'll die". Runs generally took 25 minutes.

Want to be General again? Raubahn [MISSING AN ARM]: Sure, great. No need to mention my missing arm, or all the scions that we think are dead right now.

Luna Was Here posted:alright, i asked this in one of the fc chats but we didn't have a consensus so i'll shoot here: with nocturnal sect, should i just keep diurnal up all the time or should i keep diurnal on when i have a summoner with me and noct on when i dont? if the answer is always diurnal, does this still apply if i have a whm with me or should i put noct on then? Did you mean Scholar, not Summoner? Whether you want to use Diurnal or Nocturnal when solo is your own judgment. When grouped with another healer you generally want to choose the Sect that covers the role that Healer is not providing. This means Diurnal with a Scholar partner and Nocturnal with a White Mage partner. If you end up with two ASTs, just each cover one Sect. nuru fucked around with this message at 04:15 on Jul 2, 2015 |

TheHeadSage posted:I kinda wish SE made it so you can gain XP in the various hard mode dungeons. Although I am surprised that even though you get no XP running them, I'm still getting 5-10 minutes queues for them as DPS, so there must be some reason why people are running them other than the rocking music. It gives Law and an XP bonus at the end. It covers dungeons people who are <= 50 may be wanting to run for one reason or another.

Fister Roboto posted:As far as I can tell, specialization has no effect on what recipes you can craft. Specialization just makes it easier for three classes of your choice. Captain Oblivious posted:Which is why omnicrafting isn't going anywhere and this whole specialization system is completely ineffective. Unless they tie it in more with red scrip gear and mastery books, it's going to be pretty ignorable I suspect. That's surprising. I figured the point would be that only specialists could HQ certain items, or craft certain recipes.

Great.

SwissArmyDruid posted:Halatali NM, me levelling my BLM for The Professional title. SCH healer put themselves on follow on me, and told me to keep up behind the tank, so they could AFK. Because they were doing us all a favor by being there. So what you're saying is the SCH was actually doing less to sabotage the group than you were? A SCH on follow is better than most healers you'll get at that level who probably aren't going to dps anyway. I tend to just pull the dungeon while SCH though.

Gammatron 64 posted:I think there tanking could potentially get tough is that I'm going to have to periodically switch targets. I kinda have poor situational awareness in general and can sometimes not notice something literally staring me in the face (why I can't play competitive FPS games) so I would worry about some mob I'm not even looking at running off to go eat a white mage all while I am completely oblivious to the whole thing. Under character settings you can turn off party effects, or set them to limited so you only see important things like Sacred Soil. You should do this. But in general, if you see a pulsing orange AOE it's never good to stand in it. Keeper of the Lake's bosses have a lot of aoe markers, but none of them are ok to stand in. As long as you make sure your feet are clear you're golden. As for tanking, the enemy list will always let you know threat. Red = You're holding it. Yellow = You're losing it / Don't have it yet. Green = The mob gives no shits about you and might be gnawing on someone else. On top of that, the bars and numbers on the party list will tell you threat for your current target.

Not to mention the target list is fantastic for picking out a specific mob. People make it all the way to Ravana Extreme without really knowing how to use it.

Gammatron 64 posted:Once I get back, I'm going to try and figure out how to adjust my target settings so I can scroll through it by using up\down on my dpad. The only reliable way I've figured out how to use it is with my mouse, and that's no good. I think be default, up/down is your party, and left\right is everything else, right? What you want to look into are targeting filters. On a controller I believe there's a way to toggle what type of targets you want to cycle through with the dpad.

SwissArmyDruid posted:What I'm saying is that guy's an rear end in a top hat that expects everyone to wait on him hand and foot, and I resent him displacing his duties as healer onto me. If I wanted to heal, I'd have queued a healer. I'd buy this if you hadn't personally admitted you did everything in your power to keep the fairy away from the tank. If you had just acted normally the dungeon would have cleared without issue. If you were dpsing and the fairy ended up out of range coincidentally I'd see it differently. nuru fucked around with this message at 18:15 on Jul 6, 2015 |

Doublestep posted:hmm, yes, this ability that outdamages ruin with 2 targets, and ruin iii with three targets, this is useless garbage that i should never use in aoe situations Since HW release I have not seen anyone use it in dungeons. I didn't say it was bad. But feel free to think I was saying it was garbage rather than reading what I said. In HW dungeons it's probably because SMN are juggling Tri-disaster's cooldown with Aetherflow/Aethertrail stacks between pulls and bane has a fairly short duration. There aren't a lot of opportunities to just cast blizzard, so I imagine people who do main SMN are just not doing it for the effort vs potency. nuru fucked around with this message at 21:06 on Jul 6, 2015 |

Niton posted: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. That and that 5th cross slot is the only place to fit Aero as well.

Niton posted: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. I think back to things like emergency Adlo/Stoneskins on T13 and it makes it hard to truly remove it for raids. Dungeons, sure., that's a good thing to keep in mind.
