So now that I've finished the main quest I can return to the thread.

Questions for you white mages:

Do you feel that Assize is worth using as more than just a swiftcasted Medica?

Do you think Aero III affords us an opportunity to have consistent damage on mob trash pulls?

When do you feel is a good time to use Tetragrammaton?

I haven't run Castrum or Praetorium since the MSQ-are they going to change it so that the queue gives Law or even Esoteric tomes?

Not to start another 'Paladin's are fine' derail but how common, historically speaking, are mechanical class changes in mid-content patches, looking back to the 2.x cycles? I'm a sucker for the sword and board classes but spamming Flash through all the EXDR pulls feels baaaad. Just want to know if there's precedence in something like giving Shield Swipe a cleave effect or anything along those lines. My endgame consists of big trash pulls, so if Flash existing bars PLD from getting a cool cleave ever I might just keep pushing my DRK to level cap.

tbh if you're not doing all of the DRK quests you're being bad. :v:

How many people do you need to do old EX Primals and Coils unsync'd?

T11 has two paired tethers in the final stage that force four people to play keep away, so you'd ideally get like six people to get some flexibility there... but yeah.

(Leviathan you want to make sure to NOT bring more than 5, by the way, unless you trust literally everyone to be capable of not attacking. Ditto Ifrit, with the added bonus that I have zero idea why his enrage triggers if you go too fast, whereas Leviathan at least is a straight port of the mechanic from the normal version.)

I was able to successfully do T11 once with 5 people, but that was with a few members of my old static so :shrug:

Also yeah, Ifrit EX is probably the worst to do unsynced. No, you aren't going to get to FInal Heaven your way through the third set of nails. Get hosed, scrub.

I just had a really good Weeping City run where someone in the alliance made macro's to explain the mechanics of each fight to newbies. We only had two wipes the whole run, one to Ozma where we go him down to 5 percent and one to the final boss since people needed to learn the hair mechanics and poor play in general. Honestly I'm hoping that type of run becomes the norm, because when everyone know their poo poo all of the fights are a lot of fun. I had already gotten a clear on Tuesday, but I'm really glad the run that I was helping my friends through went so well.

please make sure that the person spamming the macros that "explain" the fights know what the gently caress they're talking about. I've heard horror stories about shitlords coipypasting "instructions" from Reddit that were dead. loving. wrong.

The Faerie novice network is generally polite, helpful, and has a good atmosphere...except for one person, who seems to be the newbie channel equivalent of a super senior. She has multiple jobs above 50, and just about everything to at least 20~30, and seems to be actively putting off doing the 2.5 story so she can remain in the novice network longer.

She's also almost unbelievably irritating. She answers every newbie question, is wrong about 90% of them, and takes great pains to not only remind everyone every ten seconds that she is a lesbian, but also to spout her RP garbage about her character being a "magic baby" in great detail. I'm honestly amazed she hasn't gotten kicked out somehow, she's formed antagonistic relationships with pretty much every mentor who speaks up to tell her to stop monopolizing the channel. :catstare:

sounds like a refugee from Balmung, to be honest. :munch:

All this talk about the jump potion has me wondering if they're going to make the people who use it sit down for literally a three hour long movie of nothing but cutscenes. That said, I really feel like if they do release any new jobs, they'll have to be not gated by the content (anybody remember the OF screaming about weh i want to play edgelord for my first job weh weh) as a sort of capitulation to the ~*~RP PLAYERS~*~ on servers like Balmung or some poo poo.
