Now that I've got my RDM situated pretty good I'm looking to level up something else. I've got WAR50 from the ARR days, is there a decent guide on this strange new WAR world I'm tempted to try out again, alternatively I'm thinking of trying DRK, anything useful there for a newbie?

Does anyone on Excalibur want to do Susano Ex some time today or tomorrow? I haven't had very successful experiences with trying to clear in Party Finder so far. In game name is Ross Perot

It wouldn't be as frustrating if it was just someone misaligning the stormclouds occasionally, but instead it's things like repeatedly dying to churn, or failing the DPS check on the sword.

I'm not in any of the Goon FCs, but I might be interested. "Galaga Galaxian" in game, RDM. Did the fight a few evenings ago subbing into a group of friend's static. Didn't clear, but that was probably because we were solo healing it and it was our first attempts.

They literally can't help him out. They're running out of time and if they try to pull him out then the entire thing falls on their head.

Yeah but then they spend a few minutes talking instead of spending those few minutes either A) Running away before they die B) finding a broken beam or something to try to prop the ceiling up.

I mean, the couple minutes of exposition wouldn't be so bad if everyone was at least trying to save Gosetsu while he talked and told them to save themselves and let him have his redemptionary sacrifice, but instead they just stand there.

Just one more question before I pull the trigger: Do black mages get better looking stuff down the line? Because the job preview gear is awful, and I'm currently rocking something that makes me look like a cat nun. :catstare:




Or if you prefer "Modern" to "Classical"



At level 50 you get the ability to "Glamour" and change your equipped gear to look like whatever other piece of gear you want (as long as you are a level and class able to equip it).

Are you sure? I swear I remember him confessing he was half Garlean during 2.0/2.X. The implication was his Ala Mohegan mother was raped by my Garlean soldier(s) during Ala Mihgo's invasion or early into the occupation (dude is barely older than Alphy).

Yeah, he is one of the few echo users the Scions gathered that escaped the Waking Sands Massacre, IIRC because he was away on a minor assignment. It was good to see him again.

SwissArmyDruid posted:

So I dunno anymore. By his appearance, I assumed when he said "half-breed" it was Roe/Highlander, because I totally didn't remember him, at all. I would even swear he has the Hellsguard nose. But I clearly wasn't paying enough attention.

That's just what some Highlander's look like. I should know I play a Highlander. Also what website is that which shows the character creation info?

That is a dumb macro. I can see it now.

RDM Corps-a-Corps in, starts doing his combo. DRG deploys his stupid macro, it grabs the RDM, instead of the SAM just a bit further away. RDM displaces away and just goes back to shooting magic roses and poo poo from a distance, having never noticed the tether. lol Dragoon.

Similarly, I wonder if there's specific plans for the Airship tower in Kugane, or if it's just future proofing.

Probably future proofing. Just like the empty aetheryte plaza in Ala Mhigo City proper (as opposed to the aetheryte in the residential area).

Besides lore says no airship has the range to make the journey across the ocean.

Then again if we get Radz-at-Han as a layover I could see the Ironworks team designing some new long ranged airship (alternatively routing through Ildabard as we kick Garlean teeth in during 5.0)

Click the little page button called Gear Set List and then you'll be able to make gear sets and then you can drag those to your hotbar to quickly switch around jobs.
Also the little refresh looking button will update your gear set when you equip a new piece.

And if you wanna be really cool/needlessly complicated, you can set up a macro button that hides hotbars you stick your job buttons and other rarely used things in. :v:

They're not that complicated actually.

pre:

/hotbar Display 6 Toggle
/hotbar Display 7 Toggle
pre:
/hotbar display 1
/hotbar display 2
/hotbar display 3
/hotbar display 4
/hotbar display 9
/hud "status effects"
/hud "parameter bar"
/bm
I've been thinking of figuring out a better one that dynamic reassigns actions to a single set of hotbars and you can just keep pressing the macro button (which itself gets swapped out every time you push it) to cycle through various "pages" (combat jobs, crafters/gatherers, emotes/misc junk, etc). I just have to figure out if things other than job actions can be assigned on the fly like that via macros (especially other macros).
