I'm a bad healer because I pre-Regen tanks when they pull mobs.

Oxygen Deficiency posted:Sometimes i'll accidentally Aspected Benefic the tank between pulls and think to myself "(please click it off please click it off please click it off) WELP I'M DEAD" Despite the fact that healing aggro exists, I feel tanks have enough AoE abilities in their toolkit so that they can intercept mobs or at least stagger pulls to the point where you wouldn't get aggro.

So long as Flash or Overpower connect and hit the mobs they're going to be stuck on the tank. Regen threat isn't going to pull off a tank with the innate enmity boost of tank stance.

You can also drop back into tank stance for a hate combo if a DPS is crawling up the threat meter. I usually do about two hate combos and then do Storm's Eye right before I enter into DPS stance for OOOOH BUDDY FELL CLEAVE TIME. You're not going to get healing aggro unless you're bombing the whole team with Medica as soon as the tank runs into the group of mobs. Regen is a super small amount of threat in comparison.

Tanks and healers in this game care more about DPS than doing their actual roles.

Holyshoot posted:its in wow too, go sit in the druid discord for guardians and all they talk about is parsing and getting best in slot relics for thrash damage. Once you know you can live, focus on dps. Is catweaving even a thing still? Don't get me wrong I still drop out of tank stance to do DPS when I know things are under control, but I'm focusing on staying alive if I'm doing new content and learning fights.

Shirk is very useful post tank swap but I'm too dumb to do the threat lead thing at the beginning of the fight.

I have healed through a string of absolutely terrible 56DRs on my WHM this week. The highlight was last night when a PLD tank joined the group with LESS HP THAN I HAVE and then refused to put up Shield Oath or ANY aura at all. I'll take that 30 minute DR penalty, gently caress it I'll play Sonic Mania while it wears off.

kzin602 posted:Get rid of the shield stance button, give paladins shield stance as a constant passive trait. Keep the sword stance button, put it on occg with a 10 second cooldown or something. This would make things easier to manage, and free up a hotbar button. It became easier to stance swap as WAR because they removed the 50% wrath penalty when you swap. Lol @ leaving tank stance on trash unless you have a goon healer in your pocket. I'm still blowing defenses and holmgang if I try and pull over two packs and even then it makes me nervous. I'd rather pull one less pack than have to do the run back. I need to log my warrior DPS on dungeon bosses when I get my fell cleave dumps going. That's like 11k non-crit every 2.5 seconds.

Can somebody tell me which WAR abilities properly mitigate a tankbuster? I think I was doing things wrong trying to mitigate Stormsplitter in Susano EX last night. I was trying to stack Rampart with Inner Beast, which would be 40% damage reduction, correct? Also, what is the proper role skill loadout for trials/raids? I'm using Shirk/Provoke/Rampart/Anticipation/Convalescence.

Shere posted:In Susan EX either of your damage reducing cooldowns (Rampart/Vengeance/Inner Beast if you're in Defiance) on their own should see you live through stormsplitter. I usually press Vengeance for every one since it comes back in time with the swaps, and that's with doing the entire fight in Deliverance. I think it was more of a healer issue because as soon as I engaged Susano I dropped to like 5000 health even after popping Rampart and Inner Beast on pull. I'll swap out to reprisal and see how that goes next fight. Problem is that I'm trying to pug into these EX groups and it's very hit and miss naturally. I'm at ilevel 313 so gear isn't an issue. Funny thing is, the first time I tanked Susano EX was with a goon group and we one shot him.

I always enjoy having a newbie in the party, because that means I get more stuff at the end. To be fair though, FF14 is my chillout game, so waiting an extra 10 minutes in a dungeon won't kill me.

Is there a good guide or TLDR for the DRG rotation at 70? Seems to me like I get eyes, hit Gierkisgokul and the go hog wild with Nastrond. Like the main part of the rotation is fine, I just don't know what to do with the Life of the Dragon stuff.

Sarrisan posted:So the basics of life cycles are you want to make sure you get maximum amount of them per fight, and you want to ensure you always get 3 nastronds per cycle. At the end of the fight, your mirage dive uses should equal your nastrond. Thanks dude, I'm trying to get the hang of this through dungeons and I think I'm seeing how the rotation shapes up. Biggest thing for me was entering Life with a full meter so I can get off the max number of Nastronds. Is it possible to macro instant cast abilities together? I play with a controller and it feels like things are a bit complicated at the opener just based on how my cooldown abilities are positioned. I probably won't be doing Savage stuff anytime soon, but I still want to learn how to maximize things in case I do start doing them.

Yeah I'll look at that tonight. Kind of sucks when I have to move with the left stick and use and ability with right D pad that's also crucial for my rotation. Right now all my active buttons are just LT/RT while cooldowns and utility are double LT/RT.

Vargatron posted:Eureka is really bad and I don't like it. Allow me to elaborate a bit now that I've stopped being Mad About Video Games. I think the presentation of Eureka is what upset me more than the actual content. It would have been better if the game had explained the zone a bit better other than just dropping you off at the dock and telling you "go". I'm probably a very dumb gamer but I looked at the elemental wheel and had to ask what the hell it was for. The game probably explained it to me but it got buried in the whole "wtf" aspect of me walking out and taking at least 45-60 seconds killing an on level mob solo. That's even with popping Inner Release and spamming Fell Cleave. So if the zone was presented as "group up with friends to collect seals from monsters for equipment upgrades", then it would have been easier for me to enjoy it initially. Trying to solo the area is awful. I've been told that drop rates go up once you hit around level 7 or so, which is fine, but exp gains are so minimal that you really have to just work to get on a NM train ASAP (but you're on foot for a while, so lol). Basically, I'll do the zone after I've done all the other DRs and then just watch Youtube while I mash overpower ad nauseum.

I get the "no hand holding" design aspect, but from a gameplay factor it's not all that fun (for me). I don't mind mob grinding every once in a while, but it was discouraging to only get up to level 3 after an hour.

LOCUST FART HELL posted:My initial reaction to Eureka was negative, but I gave it a shot after letting time pass to see how it felt, and here is my conclusion. Like, you get in there and get to level 5, then just join a NM train until 20, but you don't actually get loot until you're high enough level. So you literally just XP leach off a group while getting one shot on everything. I can't even find a group to chain farm at my level, because it's quicker to just NM train. Really compelling gameplay to be sure. Run to the next spawn point and AFK until the NM shows up. "It's not for everyone". Well who the gently caress is it for???

I agree. With the current setup you basically leech until you're high enough to get rewards. Soloing isn't possible since mobs have too much health but you don't get any experience unless you form a party and find an isolated area with enough mobs.

HenryEx posted:That's some revisionist history at work here, drat. Okay, so I missed the boat on the elemental wheel thing. I figured it out after playing on the beach for a few minutes and I was very angry when I initially posted. The design is good conceptually but does not work as executed. It's frustrating when the "optimal" way to approach Eureka is get to level 5 and then join a NM train where you AFK and leech XP until you get to a high enough level to be actually eligible for rewards. It's not fun waiting 20 minutes in one spot for a NM to spawn and then get 20% of a level after getting one shot by every mechanic.
