Belzac posted:No, the EN team made the mistake. They changed the name of a monster cause it was too close to Titan and ask the JP team if that was ok. Then months later the JP team used the name they changed to for another monster. The correct thing would have been to translate the name correctly even if it was close to Titan. Now we have a completely made up name that isn't a reference to FF at all. Jesus christ who cares

Thyrork posted:Alright, hit 60, lets talk hunts to someone whos new, and to extent "Daily & weekly stuff to do in FFXIV.", I'm having a hard time with it and want to lay down what i understand so far: If you're a crafter / gatherer, daily turn ins are easy experience points and GC seals for your classes especially HQ turn ins. The beast tribe stuff seems to be useless except for the sweet mounts (none of which can fly, yet...). The Ixali crafting ones are okay for giving experience to crafting classes. My general thought is do LLDR and MSDR for classes that need experience and do TDR, HLDR and EXDR for law tomes. Then my daily hunts using a site that builds hunt maps. DGKK is pretty good at announcing when there's an available hunt and forming parties to share responsibility. B-S rank hunts give you a decent amount of seals. If you all of these, it's probably in the neighborhood of 3-4 hours a day, so prioritize

Is it fair game to call out the other healer if they're just sitting around waiting to heal to say "hey its okay to switch into cleric stance and DPS a bit" because I've been seeing that a lot lately in trials / raids. If it's MP management, it's really not that hard, at least for WHMs with shroud of saints and assize. At least throw some DoTs in.

Forward_Bee posted:They are the loving worst. When I WHM, I start nearly every encounter (esp. bosses) with a CS-A3-Virus-A2-A1-CS-Divine Seal-Regen opener. Followups usually include throwing down a bubble or even a MedicaI II. Those buffed HoT's, even HoT's in general, definitely give a WHM plenty of wiggle room to throw out DoT's. Hell, even a non-Cleric Stanced Aero is better than nothing, and comes with an instant cast time. From what I've read in the thread thus far, not putting out some effort toward DPS is even more aggregious for SCH's, since they are based fully on DoT's. The fight that spawned my question was an A1, at the beginning of the fight the damage isn't that bad but here's this fully law'd out gear WHM just staring and casting cure when the tank gets to 70% health. I said "hey you know how to DPS right?" And the healer didn't respond. Made me feel like it was a bot. We ended up wiping, the healer dropped and we got a SCH that actually knew a thing or two.

Anasurimbur posted:As a 51 White Mage, I would love / could use any tips that anyone wants to give. I tend to try to DPS when I notice damage isn't being kick out a lot. What I tend to do is be in cleric stance before a pull, mainly so I can switch it off at any point, since turning it on has a 5 second cooldown to turn it off. I start with Aero 2 > Aero (you'll start with Aero 3 once you unlock it since it has a 24 second DoT) to get my DoT going, then Stone 2/3 until the tank is starting to get around 60-50%, drop Cleric Stance and start healing. Once the tank is in a reliable place and the mobs aren't huge, I'll throw a regen on him, then go back into CS, and apply any DoTs that have worn off and then back to my Stone spells. Using divine seal before any HoT spells (Medica 2 and Regen) will increase the amount of healing regenerated, and divine seal only has a 1 minute cooldown. Combine Medica 2, Regen, and Asylum (which you'll unlock) and your tank should have plenty of HoT for you to DPS for awhile until those wear off. If you switch into CS and things immediately go haywire to where you can't wait 5 seconds for the cooldown to be done, stoneskin is unaffected by mind / intelligence and you can cast that to allow the tank some breathing room to turn off CS and start healing. One thing I haven't figured out with the new rotation is if Aero is still worth casting over Stone 3, since Stone 3's potency is higher than that of a full Aero, but Aero has instant cast, which can be beneficial in some cases. edit: it should go without saying, but never cast your HoTs before a pull since that will generate enmity and make the mobs come after you. If a HoT hasn't dissipated since the last encounter, stick close to your tank so they can use flash / whatever AoE enmity generating tool to pull them off of you. edit 2: to echo the previous poster, swiftcast is great, and not just for raise. I use it for medica 2 all the time because I'd rather have people stay alive than have to revive them (also to avoid the MP hit from Raise)

Six things you only really need to know for Ravana: 1) Have a wall behind you because his unavoidable AoE has knockback and will hit you off the cliff if there's no wall to catch you 2) Unless you're the tank, don't stand in front of the guy 3) His AoEs are pretty predictable and easy to avoid, they will have two steps, generally with either a get to the middle or get to the edges phase 4) Kill the butterflies ASAP when they show up 5) If you get targeted with his crossed blue sword attack, spread out from the other people targeted 6) Turn up the volume and enjoy the ridiculously great music

I see there's the artisan sets for both ilvl 60 and 70; 60 I can craft, 70 requires some trading, but the 60 set has materia slots. Should I get those, or should I just wait for better gear in HW?

Poultron posted:Quoting this for a new page since it probably got lost. Please assist I asked this question many many pages back, and the answer I got was to level to 51 (GC turn ins will be your friend) and then buy the Archaeoskin gear from HW vendor(s) to start because the Artisan's set is way too much of a grind when it will be shortly outclassed in a few levels. Most of the left side gear is upgradeable at 51. Also, it looks like FFXIV Crafting got updated with 50-60 gear too: http://ffxivcrafting.com/gear just hope you get on when it doesn't time out

One of the things that I always found exciting about the game was the idea that you could pursue each class equally and yes, you could do everything. Specializations seem like a step back and I don't like it. I thought the point of specializations was to get rid of having to level up everything, and really it doesn't seem to help that. It just makes it so that you only can HQ high level stuff with a specialization while the rest of your classes were screwed.

Most PLDs are scared to use Clemency (or uninterested in doing so), or should do a better job communicating it with the healer. Build some rapport with your healers and you can get a good thing going between them. Honestly, I think all three tank classes are in a pretty good spot right now. PLDs are probably the weakest of the class right now, but by such a small margin.

I haven't done scrip gathering/crafting but apparently you have to buy a trillion rowena's tokens manually so that also sounds welcome. As someone who uses my GC seals to buy coke to sell on the MB for 700 a pop, this is a welcome deal. Though people probably avoid buying it from GCs because of that annoyance so the prices on the MB are gonna tank Honestly, buying 1 item at a time is a throwback to Final Fantasy 1 days where you had to use a turbo controller to stock up on 99 heal potions.

So really, it looks like all the modifications from this hotfix were to blue / red scrips being increased, a modification in item drops for maps, and not being able to access DF immediately after if you got votekicked from a duty. The rest of the patch is all fixing bugs (to which there were a lot, none that I've ever seen the impact, though).

effectual posted:So I spent another 20 bucks so I could actually start playing, what's the best class for a newb? Should I fart around leveling multiple classes at the same time or focus on 1 at a time? As others mentioned, get 1 class to 30, at which point you'll need to level up another class to 15 to unlock a job. You need a job at level 50 to finish the main story and get to Heavensward content, just so you know. My personal vote for a class is arcanist since they're the only class that gets two jobs, a DPS job and a healing job. Healers have near instant queues for dungeons, and dungeons are usually the best way to level up. Also, try to redeem someone's friend code if you can!
