I haven't played AST yet, but looking at their abilities, it seems like it outclasses WHM in every way. What's the benefit to sticking to WHM now?

Velveteen posted:People in this game are surprisingly nice. People actually explain fights to you if you tell them you're new and its your first time for dungeons instead of rolling their eyes and groaning about it. Maybe because I'm doing the low level dungeons and everything changes when it gets higher. Also running around doing my quests I'd get random whispers asking how I'm enjoying the game and if I needed help in anything because they saw the sproutling beside my name. Its not just one person either, I've gotten dozen of these whispers already. Its really strange and somewhat frightening how nice everyone is being. It's nice to see when some players learn the abilities that you teach them to use. They'll progressively get better, like they'll actually turn off cleric stance when they heal. Then you have GLDs that refuse to use savage blade over riot blade because dps then say "whoa, you mean I should actually have flash on my hotbar??"

I've only played it a bit, but MCH is a little boring to me. A little weak for a DPS, so you're kind of relying on the machines to help you out.

I kind of feel bad for people running MS quests and getting MSDR people in their party, since the DRs want to finish it ASAP and skip all cutscenes and will often start battles and lock you out. I once got Castrum in MSDR and the team finished it with 99 minutes left  Castrum isn't particularly hard but man that was actually pretty impressive.

What's the macro that will automatically post in party chat that you're casting raise on a party member? I'm getting several instances where myself and the other healer end up casting a revive spell on the same dead person.

Fluegel posted:I've had an itch to start playing this game again. I played a Paladin to level ~37 or something and then had to quit because I didn't really have any spare MMO time. If I just want to dip my toes in again should I buy Heavensward? Are there any graphical upgrades or quality of life changes or something? If not I guess I'll just get myself a month and continue the story. Pretty much all Heavensward content is only available after finishing ARR's main story quests, so if you're unsure, you can wait until you finish MSQ 2.55 to see if you want to continue on. The final cutscene stops on a cliffhanger and leaves with a "ALL WILL BE REVEALED WHEN WE GO HEAVESNWARD" or something like that, but so far HW content is pretty amazing.

Nostalgia4Infinity posted:Finally got access to my account. My main is a level 44 PAL, but I can't remember where I left off the main story quest and it isn't in my log. Go to your quest log and see what the last main story quest (the quest logo that looks like a meteor) was that you completed. If you're 44, chances are you're somewhere in this area: http://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Main_Scenario_Quest/Level_40-50 This should give you an idea of where to go to get your next MSQ.

I'm getting close to hitting 57 in HW, and was wondering the "things to do daily" list, which right now consists of this: - GC turn-ins for DoH / DoL experience - Duty roulette (LLDR, Trial, guildhests, and eventually EXDR) - Hunts for centurio seals - Beast tribe quests if I hate myself that day Anything I'm missing? Anything that will be added when I hit 60?

I remember there was a point where the RMT bots just stopped sending tells and would just sit at an aether plaza using say to tell about their gil you could buy. But yeah, not a single one since I started HW. Does SE actually read and enforce cheating reports? I was out farming crystals in La Noesca and I saw two people in the same guild, one running back and forth between mining nodes, and another that was stuck below a small chasm trying to jump over it, but clearly too dumb to go around. They were in the same FC, so I reported them after neither of them responded to my tells so they were most likely bots. No idea if they get around to checking that.

Truga posted:I wonder what happens if you do The Aery as a DRG. Because holy poo poo that kill steal at the end is dumb. I think the bigger point with the Aery is how real it mimics an MMO, because Estinien creates a raid party, Amphinauld wants to join, and Estinien tells him he can't because he's too much of a newbie.

I only have 1 more dungeon to unlock HLDR, I think it's HM Wanderer's Palace. Do you need to beat Norm Wanderer's Palace to get to it? Bloezoeng (the guy in Mor Dhona that gives it) is throwing up a red quest marker but when I talk to him he won't tell me the pre-requisite.

mightygerm posted:I will commend any healer that is actually using cleric stance. As a person who mains a white mage, when I go into a dungeon to level my PLD / MCH and I see a healer sitting around waiting for someone to get hurt before dropping a cure instead of switching into cleric stance and dropping stones all day makes me a little sad. I'll generally explain that concept to them that Cleric Stance has a quick-as-hell cooldown so you should jump in and out of it indiscriminately alternating between DPS and healing. They sometimes get it, or they'll stay in cleric stance and continue to heal in it  I remember one time I was with a summoner and a gladiator. Gladiator kept using riot blade and kept saying "please use savage blade" so the summoner said "screw it, bringing out titan-egi" and had the egi tank the entire dungeon. That summoner got my commendation, for sure.

Man, Bismark story mode isn't hard, but somehow I got the worst party for it in a roulette. It started off with two DPS at the beginning of the fight falling off the platform after his initial slam on the island. So we wipe. Next time the person in charge of the generator fails to activate it. We wipe again. One of the DPS that fell off the cliff yells at us for not doing our job and ragequits. Other people quit too. We wait, and more party members join - we end up getting 4 bards as DPSes. We're able to get through the 1st phase, but we get to the blue and green dragons and fail the DPS check. Party wipes a forth time. Try again, and same thing. Because they're all bards, they think they don't need to be on Bismark (despite everyone saying GET ON THE drat WHALE) to hurt him. At that point, we vote to abandon duty. 40 minutes of my life over that crap. At least I got Cape Westwind on my next duty roulette!

I was originally concerned about WHM's nerfing of Holy in 3.0, but after getting Aero 3, I can say that I'm quite happy with where the class is at. Aero 3 owns, Assize owns, Holy still owns even with the nerf, Stone 3 owns and has the highest single damage potency of any healer class, and in terms of raw healing output, it's still the best. I think if you combine with a decent scholar, you get a perfect mix of raw healing and support buffs that makes fights much easier for the rest of the party.

Pews posted:They are class specific so just go with you main stat. The only ones that give people trouble are the arcanist and tanking jobs. But you can buy an item with grand company seals that resets it if need be. For arcanist, your allocations go towards ACN, and not SMN or SCH, right? Meaning you can't have a SMN with high INT then switch to SCH with high MND.

sword_man.gif posted:nope, it goes towards arcanist. if you main smn and swap to maining sch then you'll need to buy a keeper's hymn Fair enough. I was considering leveling up Arcanist in the future since I'm a fan of DoTs (apparently this makes me weird!) since I have all the per-requisites for SMN and SCH and my ARC is already 15, and I need a DPS class. Getting gear for them should be pretty easy. I do the daily turn-ins for my GC for each DoH class, so I'm swimming in GC seals consistently.

Nostalgia4Infinity posted:Good to know, I'm not really feeling NIN and wanted to do something ranged and MCH wasn't doing it for me and my SMN is mid-40's. As a career healer, I enjoy summoners in my party because of divine shield and they're the only DPS that can cast a revive spell, which makes me at ease in case I screw up or I run out of MP. So yeah, they're alright in my book.

I ran a duty roulette and got Cutter's Cry. One of the DPS was a MCH, and I noticed he wasn't losing lead shot. I said "hey, lead shot is a pretty good DoT, you should use it" and he said "that would ruin my DPS." We weren't killing enemies that fast, so I said "you might be miscalculating" followed up with some basic potency numbers, and he said "you should kill the enemies faster, then." I was a white mage in cleric stance half the time

Benson Cunningham posted:I haven't even started a crafting class yet. I use FFXIV guild for crafting guides, for example, here's the culinarian one for leveling up: http://www.ffxivguild.com/ffxiv-cul-culinarian-leveling-guide-ffxivarr/ this guide is a little outdated, but it's still good. General train of thought is - buy the engineering manuals for the EXP boost to get you up to 15 for each DoH class quickly to take advantage of the cross class skills (Tricks of the Trade from ALC, Rumination from CRP, Waste Not from LTW, Careful Synthesis from WVR are ones I use all the time in the mid level area). Once you're at 15, you can start doing leves. If you're overflowing with leves, the guides generally show what is the best leve to do for turn-in in terms of cheapest item. If you're strapped for leves, do the courier ones (get the leve at a town, then deliver it somewhere) as those grant the most amount of EXP. Do the daily GC turn-in as that grants a lot of EXP as well. Always go for HQ stuff, since that doubles the amount of EXP from leves and GC turn-ins. There's also the Ixal beast tribe quests which I sometimes use for experience, because I can have my best DoH complete the build easily and then switch to my lowest level DoH class to collect the experience. I've seen some videos of people who have grinded from 1-50 in a couple of hours just by consistently doing leves and HQ turn-ins. I'm not there yet because I don't have the patience to do such a thing

My general approach to crafting has been inner quiet > steady hand 1 > waste not (if it's a 40 durability item like an ingot) > standard touch for 4 times > great strides then standard synthesis again. I finish off with standard touch. I usually get HQ on these, if my starting mats were HQ. I just got SH2 from my CUL. Should I switch to using that and hasty touch, then repairing with either masters mend? Then once my inner quiet stacks are high enough or I get an excellent rating use standard / advanced touch? Bear in mind none of my crafting classes are to 50 yet.

Speaking of PLD, I almost have mine to level 50. Are the Marauder cross-class skills worth getting? I mainly picked PLD because CNJ / WHM was my main class and it seemed like an easy extension. Mercy Stroke seems legit, but I'm wondering if it's worth going for ala Swiftcast for mages.

edit: ^ ^ sweet. Getting MRD to 26 shouldn't be that hard with the tank queues. In the remake of FF3 for DS / mobile phones, they made a stronger distinction between the fighter (called them warriors, hint hint) and knight. Warriors could do an attack that would do double damage, but decreased their defense (sadly they could not bathe in the blood of their enemies). Knights became more defensive. Dark Knights could use HP to do more damage, so really everything the tanks do in this game falls in line with standard Final Fantasy jobs with a few tweaks. seiferguy fucked around with this message at 19:41 on Jul 16, 2015 |
