I thought the FFT stuff was way before any of the other Ivalice stuff. Or at least FF12.

I feel like the opposite. I'm comfortable with drk, especially after learning The Blackest Night. I feel like it's a crime that you have to wait until 70 to get it. I also enjoy Dark Arts weaving and how some abilities are different depending on its use. My guess is though that they'll oversimplify the class next expansion,maybe get rid of dark arts altogether :(

WAR though? I just don't get it. I leveled it to 55 and it just feels so much harder to use, even compared to my DRK at 55. I think it's the burst phase that trips me up. I stopped leveling PLD at 55 also, but mostly because I'm sick of Rage of Halone.

If you're talking about defensives, WAR basically has their full kit around 60. Unfortunately the DPS rotation isn't complete until you get Inner Release at 70.

For some reason I'm tempted to play Dragoon. But I tried it in 3.0 and could not for the life of me get the 4th combo actions + perfect Dragon Mode stuff down, plus the class seemed to have a shitload of buttons for a controller layout (in the sense that almost all of its buttons would see some regular use, plus 8 buttons devoted to mandatory combo actions).

How is DRG in SB these days?

It's a very rigid rotation with like 16 buttons you have to press, minimum.

Does anybody have a controller layout that they wouldn't mind sharing for WAR? I just resubbed to this game wanting to try controller since I'm couch gaming now, but I'm struggling to come up with a layout that feels natural.

I'll try and take a screenshot later tonight. How do you feel about double clicking the triggers?

I mean you can also ignore positionals if needed to do mechanics, or use True North. It's a potency loss to miss positionals, but it's not as bad as it was in the past.

DRG is a fun class to play, but because of the static rotation, you have to plan ahead on fights to compensate.

If you were playing from a true numerical standpoint picking dragoon would be very stupid considering they have less potency in an entire combo than samurai does with 2 spells they get at level 4 (and no positionals)

Yes, but DRG also adds like 500 DPS to every other person in the raid.

We provide quite a bit of rdps, though. How much depends on the rest of the party comp, granted. But everything is fairly well balanced in terms of overall contribution.

Doesn't Samurai have positionals for building kenki? I don't know a whole lot about that job yet, honestly.

Gekko and Kasha have positionals but it doesn't affect the potency, only kenki generation.

My rule of thumb, and I'm generally overcautious - grab everything in overpower's aoe (and if you have to use overpower to do so, that's fine), overpower twice for 4 and switch to ST, popping steel cyclone or provoke + tomahawk if something breaks off the pack because the dps are idiots.

To add to this, two overpowers generally is enough to get things to stick to you. Steel Cyclone also has a built in enmity modifier.

I just want Square to stop being weird and Japanese about gendered equipment. I can have armor that gives my female character a completely male torso along with pecs and abs, but god forbid I wear a different cut of pants.

But I can see why it's tough, as there are literally zero real-world examples of women wearing men's fashions or vice-versa.

Edit: Also give me Au Ra that act anything at all like Au Ra NPCs instead of the weird schoolgirl fantasy body language they have now

I think this has more to do with SE making the equipment models based on character models instead of like WoW where armor just stretches over whatever model it happens to be on. Though I do agree with your sentiment.

Also: does anyone know how gathering odds are calculated? It seems like I have a disproportionately low success rate but I can't tell if it's confirmation bias. But I'm pretty sure it has to be weighted against the players, because things with a 50 percent gathering rate gather way less than half the time.

I see you've experienced the XCOM RNG system while leveling a gatherer.

i am the tank. it's the first trash pull and i notice myself running out of steam. "that's weird," i think. "this is taking longer than it normally does"

i glance over at my illegal parse. i'm top dps, which isn't super surprising because i've ground this dungeon down to a science and i play drk like crazy, but i notice our whm is doing so little damage that ACT actually things one of the NPCs is a party member and not them. i look at my party list and see they're just casting cure 1 over and over with the occasional stone IV. so i do what i don't normally do and try to give them a firm nudge of advice



i was so baffled i didn't even say anything for the rest of the dungeon

holy......... low potency........... :thunk:

thanks for this! i'll probably hit you up on discord sometime to pester you with more questions; drk is really interesting but feels super overwhelming

Just think of Dark Arts as a 140 potency OGCD skill and it gets a lot easier. Keep 2400 MP in stock in case Bloodspiller comes up and that's really the hard part of the DPS rotation.

I don't remember the details, but I believe after Las Vegas Fan Fest, Mr. Happy made videos justifying all of his "predictions" and "rumors" and "things that people told him" because he had just gotten shot down and completely wrong in every single way.

In other words, don't trust a thing out of his mouth unless it's corroborated by at least two other sources.

Also his tendency to post 45 minute patch note reading videos.

WoW DPS is way easier to optimize because, for the most part, rotations are way simpler than FF14 equivalents. Plus, it's easy to swap specs to whatever the FOTM is, while in FF14, you have to level a completely new class if you want to do that.
