Still miss old Merlwyb. I'm used to the new va but she doesn't sound like she just got done smoking a whole box of cigars after getting back from the gym (she works out by shooting people) anymore

Countblanc posted:You're overthinking it. Here's the optimal RDM play pattern as best anyone can tell: This is the right explanation. Remember that manafication resets the timers on corps-a-corps and displacement so ideally you wanna give the enemy a little tickle with them before getting to 40/41 or whatever, manaficating to double your mana and resetting both timers, then going in for a full melee combo.

Ainsley McTree posted:It's also optimal to avoid hitting 100/100 since you get that proc from holy/flare if your mana is imbalanced. But once you hit 100/100 you can't imbalance it again. Yeah I mean if you reallllly want to go into melee imbalanced from 100/100 you could probably do a single riposte then do a jolt and aero but that's really unnecessary, the only thing imbalance does is give you a proc for that type of mana from the right finisher so it's a waste of time. E not calling anyone in the conversation dumb, just saying that while imbalance is the right thing to do it's not that big of a deal to gently caress it up. Red Mage is really hard to gently caress up in a big way, the only way to be a bad rdm is hitting nothing but one mana type and never using an ogcd.

Right about this too. Smn took like weeks of playing with before I felt comfortable doing stuff without fear of buffs and dots falling off at the wrong time, and that was after playing sch for a couple months. Red Mage is always doing about 75% of its max by just not being asleep. I was instantly comfortable with it by 70 and the only optimizations are tricks like the corps/displacement before manafication thing, loving up dualcast/mana as little as possible, and using swiftcast to fish for procs every now and then.

The poison does hurt and made my sick dps lower bc I had to spam vercure every now and then. This was unforgivable so I destroyed it with antidote.

Being able to share kills is the biggest drat improvement to mmo design since its inception. I spent 6 hours trying to do a quest in the second Tauren area with 4 friends and a ton of random players. Also I like that people are trying to be more realistic with blue mage expectations in here but you also gotta remember that they're gonna want to future-proof the job by not tying specific abilities to specific quests so that they can move quest reward skills around and plan for possibly combining skills later on and stuff. For that reason, I feel like Blu could be more of a hunt-themed class. Like, they could flesh out the storylines behind specific famous hunt monsters and have you face them in instances and stuff. They probably won't tie specific monsters to specific abilities except in ability flavor text.

Fister Roboto posted:Yeah, really the worst it ever got was the CUL capstone quest where you prepare a feast for the Sultana while she was "dead". You never see an actually dead NPC showing up in a sidequest later. Yep, sadly, unless they create tech to replace characters in side quests with lower ranked npcs who can perform a similar role. You could be serving a feast for a high-ranking merchant if the queen is dead. Boring, but plausible.

I mean they could say gently caress it and let the incompatibility slide, but I think it would give Koji Fox an aneurysm. Be nice to Koji.

Agreed that I would absolutely love personal Lbs even if they're only marginally better than the amount of dps I would have been able to do in the same amount of time. And I steal rdm bard and smn LB every chance I get as long as I don't think we need it for anything else. I got to feel the rdm LB the second day of playing it when I did susano, it owns bones. Bard/mch also never ever gets to use theirs, except in extremely rare boss fights to take out adds that spawn far from the boss. it's not like it really matters in face roll 24-mans. Those bosses have so much hp and are being hit by so many people that at most a melee LB shaves off about a second compared to caster.

Saint Freak posted:Limit breaks aren't (rightfully) credited to you in ACT so you should never use them or else you'll ruin your hot deeps. I'm the smelliest sweatiest ACT parsing try-hard when it comes to dungeons and 24-mans because I love huge numbers, but I'm an even bigger fan of looking extremely drat cool at the expense of trashing my parse or possibly even dying.

Ciaphas posted:Every once in a while if I think a tank is too big for his britches I'll save up for 75+ mana, wait for him to pull a large pack, then Embolden, Enchanted Moulinet, Manafication, and 3xEnchanted Moulinet with a Contre Sixte before he settles in It's slightly slower but if you hit 100/100 then 2x enchanted moulinet then use scatter twice to get over 45 before manafication you can do 3 more for a total of 5 plus contre sixte

Mmo pvp with a billion buttons is insanely hot garbage and im glad it's 3 buttons now. It's more about what you can see they have job-wise and positioning-wise rather than what cooldowns they might have, and that's good.

After watching the documentary I have an appreciation for the people who played and liked 1.0 better even if they're still obviously wrong. All 15 of them. Their wallets helped keep SE floating while they started the process of building ARR The real dumb people are the ones who never played 1.0 but still think it's better.

Cythereal posted:Some newbie questions: Extremely yes. It's a bit like gambling but quick ventures can bring back a very wide variety of items and are the only way of getting the rare dyes. Hunting ventures can save you a little farming too. Gathering is pretty good money as long as you're not going for huge ticket items that everyone is fighting over. It's cake to spend a half hour or so watching a YouTube video and gathering many many logs that sell for 1k+ each. And Gil is mostly for housing and buying expensive glamour stuff, although teleport fees are getting steep lately its not a real issue. Couldn't tell you what the best GC item is though. Coke used to be hot for housing construction but it's next to nothing on the mb on Hyperion right now. Ventures are always good.

Yeah I remember something along the lines of carbuncles being made entirely out of extremely complicated geometry with a small amount of aether applied. Basically I think the whole point of arcanist and its 2 jobs is finding creative efficient ways of using their own aether to achieve the desired results rather than slamming people with magic the way whm and blm do. The book is like a diary combined with a cheat sheet.

The ARR theme was used in t13, heavensward was used in the 3.5 boss, so it's all but certain that we'll get a full stormblood theme as part of a boss fight at the end of the expansion as a capstone like usual.

Yeah the structure we expect is just the baseline, we know and expect them to keep adding other stuff as well. On the flip side I have confidence in the main features of patches but the side content is often pretty iffy. I believe they will make an active and long lasting diadem this time solely because the relic comes from it so people are forced to go. I hope they make it more of a solo thing though, so you can enter it like a normal zone *then* group up. needing a party to enter sucks. Full disclosure I actually liked New diadem but nobody wants to do it with me. From recent interviews, blitzball is looking more and more like a sure thing. I wanna be excited for it since I put tens of hours in it in FFX but at the same time I dont know if it will make the transition to mmo very well and worry it will wind up as an esoteric mess of recruitment and skill shot hell. Even if it takes the ffx2 approach I still don't know. Jinh fucked around with this message at 18:49 on Jul 11, 2017 |

I have a lot of fond memories of just walking around the world taking screenshots. The black shroud is very colorful but limsa is by far my favorite area Imagine my surprise when I didn't know summerford farms or the entire map it's based in existed because there are no MSQs that go there. I didn't unlock that aetheryte until months after hitting 50. It's so pretty though, with a full view of the main city lit up at night

I had heard rumors before SB dropped that we were getting level sync without losing abilities and I was super drat hype for it. Ah well. I mean it kinda makes sense, the only way to make it so a level 15 blm and a levelsynced 70 blm do the same damage (so as not to entirely break dungeons) is to heavily nerfed the potency of every move the 70 character has while synced and to scale the potency downgrades as you sync to different levels. It would be a lot of work and would cause bad 70 bards for example to actually do way worse damage than a naturally level 15 bard who just heavy shots through the whole dungeon. Level sync works amazingly in guild wars 2 but it's something that I don't think would translate well here. E: plus turning every dungeon into a praetorium "gently caress you new player" speed run is an atrocious idea and would exacerbate the problems that players leveling tanks face.
