The Chairman posted:It's looking like you'll get all the 1-30 ones at once. They haven't said anything about any kind of tutorial quests as far as I know. I guess the assumption is that anyone who's played enough to get through 2.55 is going to have a fair idea of how to figure things out. (hahahahahahahaha)

Is the RAF page broken during maintenance? The link in the RAF OP doesn't work for me, but it's the first google result too, so. I wanted to go get my code so I could post it and get cool swag someday

You know what I just realized? We're well into primetime on launch evening, and there's barely a crash or other showstopper to be seen. Either we overestimated the launch day woes, there aren't a lot of early accessors, or SE's IT personnel really know their poo poo.

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.

Hivac posted:MCH basically lines up all of their 90s cooldowns to do stupid huge burst damage with Wildfire if their ability list is anything to go by. Eeehhh doesn't really sound like my bag. Oh well, there's always BLM or DRG for my DPS jollies, once I get done with DRK (or burned out on it, either or).

Think I'm gonna get MCH to at least 40 so I can try Wildfire and turrets out before I give up on them for now. It's odd, because I like BRD and they have a certain similarity. Maybe it's just because I'm not 50(+) anymore Question, does ammo affect the potency of the DoT on Lead Shot?

Riftling posted:If you do not like MCH at 30, you will not like it past 40. Wildfire doesn't change our gameplay at all; it's just another +damage buff with a unique conditional (mob must stay alive for 15s). Rook turret is really just a DoT you have to place on the ground every fight rather than on the enemy. 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.

I just finished the DRK 40 quest, and I'm really digging the direction this is going. Feels vaguely meta. Getting harder to resist going SMN or DRG for a while though, and actually start on the story. Or level MCH, which is starting to grow on me... i need help

Yeah so remember how I was wingeing hard about what class to level while doing the MSQ, unsure if it would be DRK, DRG, SMN, or MCH? After doing the 50 job quest, uh yeah it's gonna be DRK. I gotta know where this is gonna go

We talked about it for a while in PBC FC yesterday, but let's talk about { Dark Arts }. What do you all tend to use it on, and when do you not use it? I'm finding it sort of unsafe to use at below 50% mana; and unless you're at full mana using it with Dark Passenger is practically a death sentence.

I am consistently out dpsing the actual DPS right now and it's amazing, and way more challenging and fun as staying in Deliverance requires way more careful and fiddly threat management. What does Deliverance itself do? Do you lose the mitigation from Defiance while it's up?

dreffen posted:Early on I'll pop it for Power Slash (or if I feel like I need the extra enmity), but generally I use it to buff up Dark Dance or Dark Passenger for blind on trash. I only just noticed that it buffs Dark Dance. Oops  . 30% evasion sounds like a pretty loving good tank cooldown to me, assuming it's additive to your base evasion rate.DRK threat is odd. It seems at times that others cannot possibly catch up to my threat levels so I can freely DA Souleater and ignore Power Slash entirely, other times the DPS manage to sneak up on me threat-wise while I'm too low on MP to bullet back ahead. It seems like screwing up as DRK gets them hosed a lot harder than the other two tanks. Run out of MP and Darkside drops, some of your biggest threat tools are unavailable and whoops that add just peeled off but you can't get it back and regen mana at the same time because not enough's attacking you for pact to regen your MP and
