Libertine posted:is there like a "everything you need to play" version of the game, or do I need to buy all of the previous content separately? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. There is a complete edition of the game that includes the two major expansions, including the one that just came out, and the OG game. It's up at the Squenix online store for 60bucks, and probably available on steam or something.

Now that I've had a chance to actually play SCH at 70 for a bit - massive fan of the changes. Got really boring in HW to be able to cakewalk through everything and just DPS. Fairy tether lets me basically go "Hold my beer while I do X and not give a poo poo about your damage for nearly a minute, tank".

Just cleared the second EX primal last night via a bizarrely competent learning party. I was one of the two scholars healing it. Nerds freaking out about Scholar being dead are so wrong, so very very very VERY wrong.

Stormblood scholar reminds me much more of ARR scholar, so I'm glad they took this direction with the class. Bring back virus tho.

Countblanc posted:They still clear but it's slower and less fun. Are we back to the old MUH FUN PER HOUR bullshit? (or was it duties per hour? I don't remember.) I mean, if you're brayfloxing dungeons, sure, maybe, but here's a reminder - back when ilvl90 and Brafylox HM runs were a thing - you didn't really have time to DPS as a healer, you literally just pressed ALL OF THE HEALING BUTTONS so that your tank would not die. The DPS as a healer meme during mass dungeon pulls in EX dungeons only came when you were out-ilvl-ing everything anyway. These days I can throw out a shadowflare, and if I get precasting right I can Dot-instaDot-Bane Right as Excog trips and I actually have to start pushing the healing buttons, and I haven't out-ilvled content, so hey, I'll take that improvement. Here's another unpopular opinion: Nerf Red Mage.

Fister Roboto posted:This isn't even remotely true, a good Brayflox run required a lot of Holy spam. Ironically, scholars weren't quite as good as white mages for that either because they didn't have an AOE stun and Bane only hit five targets. When I did that - I remember Holy only starting to get woven in after people geared up a bit, it wasn't really there at the beginning. But hey, anecdotes.

I got it. Blue mage is just the dedicated healer version of Red Mage. Same dualcast procs except on all the heals, same swish swoosh with a sword, and blue flavored outfits instead of red. Alternatively, just loving do chemist. I want to throw things at people to heal them.

Eye for an eye is your friend, why aren't you using it? 3. Swiftcasting out a physic is a legitimate thing to do. 3.5. Shadow Flare is the lazy SCH's dps. 4. I'm too  to actually eat my fairy, but if you aren't, hey 9 lustrates. 5. By the time you burn through your lustrates your fairy should be able to keep up while you apply your dps. 6. Have a tank that actually hits their cooldowns. 7. If you want to be pro, Excog+EFE right as the damage starts hitting, so you have a GCD or two to put down your dots and maybe bane. 8. If you want to go full silly, burn an aetherflow stack for Sacred Soil. If you have to use Eos for any dungeon big pulls, there's a serious problem with the DPS, your tank, or you.

DPS queues and wanting to occasionally sub out and actually smack things are why I initially switched from white mage to scholar. Free summoners are the best.

If as a healer you aren't telling your tank "Pull until you find a door" then I just don't know what to say. (Three pulling Castrum Abania and Ala Mhigo is fun, ok?)

Throne of Bhalz posted:Anyone have a current guide to SCH? I've cleared Omega with some ease, and I'm starting to do EX Primals. Although my fight mechanics are sound, my numbers aren't where they should be, I think. Hey scholarchat, I'll post. Eos control pretty much amounts to "Figure out where to have the drat fairy stay (Middle of the arena for Lakshmi EX, no issue just tagging along behind you for all other current content so far, including Susano), and keep on "Obey". Keep in mind that because the fairy will still single target heal, you want to start hitting your AOEs right as the single target GCD is coming up. If you just click it once, your fairy will have a fairly vague idea of when it should do things. (Click once, and enjoy the Whispering Dawn going off after Ukehi has long passed, for instance). Generally what works for me is knowing the fight and starting to yell at Eos to start doing things about 5 seconds before the ability will hit. Like, Ukehi has just started the cast bar, and I'm already spamming whispering dawn. Goes off a second early? Not a problem, we need that mitigation. Whispering dawn: Raidwide AOE DOT heal. Meh. Use it, your AOE healing is really limited anyway. Fey Covenant: Situationally useful extra mitigation. Fey Illumination: Use in conjunction with whispering (and rouse) to pump out some disgusting healing numbers, or as an "oh poo poo" button when you need the fairy to heal tank harder. It's been mentioned before, but SCH really shines when paired with an AST or WHM. DoubleSCH on susano EX for instance is an exercise in pain and frustration worse than double-AST cardgames. Oh you want to know about DPS on SCH? Uhh... Chain Stratagem should be on cooldown pretty much always (again, know the fight and know when there's an effective time to pop it. Susano EX for in most groups for me is opener -> second sword -> as much as I can last phase. ) Otherwise, throw a dot here or there, weave in a broil/broil II as you feel more comfortable with the fight and when you know when the damage is coming. Try not to overheal. If you're healing Ex endgame content for the first time, DPS if you can, but don't make it a priority. This isn't a levelsynced Titan HM where you can just semi-afk. While an extra howevermany DPS from you is good, it's not as good as the 2-4k out of an actual live DPS and/or Tank. And if your DPS isn't pushing out numbers your numbers won't really matter in the long run. If you're comfortable with content/your group, Eos stays at home, and a Sicced selene comes out. For the record I do this for Deltascape 1, 2, and 4. None of this probably applies if you're an actual engame raider though. I just pug this poo poo.

With any group you sort of roll the dice. Susano is a really really tight fight. And my biggest problem with it have been healers not pulling their weight oddly enough. And at this point I've seen more tanks loving up and no popping cooldowns/swapping than DPS loving up levinbolts.

hobbesmaster posted:To emphasize this I joined a farm party that required i310 earlier. The tank couldn't establish threat during the umbral ice phase of my opener and it wasn't until I hit lucid dreaming that a tank could establish a lead (through diversion! How?!). Then after we somehow make it through the swords 3 of the 4 lightning markers are put on the side we're on. I decided to go goddess killing the other day. Found a party, ilvl 310 minimum, neat, we might not need to vril all that much. Join party. Party for some reason starts a Susano. gently caress. I just finished farming this bitch, I do not want any more jolly samurai in my life. I'm not gonna just bitch out though, might as well heal these clowns for a run, maybe grab a weapon or something. Orb tank decided to be in DPS stance for orbs, ate six of my lustrates and died. We get him up. Then the second tank is failing to pop any cooldowns. We fail the DPS check. "Farm parties", man.
