I started playing 3 weeks ago and just got my Scholar to 49. Kinda disappointed with these changes. I also want to pick up Dark Knight as my secondary, and that's bad now too  ?

SCH nerfs just make the class feel bad and boring to play. Instead of having to put some thought into the management of 3+ DoTs, just spam Ruin or Broil forever and run out of mana all the time unless I very carefully manage Aetherflow. Fun! I could switch to SMN to level, but they're almost as bad. I guess I picked the wrong class to play when I got the game 3 weeks ago! I don't know how anyone plays DPS with those 30+ minute queue times. Guess I'll level paladin since I don't have Dark Knight unlocked yet.

Spamming Broil 2 is Good and Correct For The Meta, and we should all slobber over SE's metaphorical dick for these amazing SCH gameplay enhancements

SCH is fun enough when you are actively healing. It's probably a bit weaker than WHM and AST at healing now, but whatever. The whole point of the fairy is to reduce the need to focus on healing, but now our non-healing options are the most boring of any healer. So by playing Scholar, you're choosing to spend the most time focusing on the most boring abilities. The class used to have very engaging and dynamic DoT juggling and at least one AoE spell. The problem is mainly in dungeons. If your tank does small pulls, you barely need to heal at all. If your tank does big pulls, you contribute almost nothing to AOE damage. An AST can Balance, a WHM can holy spam, and SCH has nothing.

Just got to Hilda in Heavensward. She is perfect in every way. But seriously, they kinda dropped the ball on the visual and storytelling aspects of the downtrodden lower classes so far. Their suffering seems to happen almost entirely off screen. The dragon politics was better executed, but it still feels like a step back from the intricacies of the 2.X leadup to Heavensward. The dragon zones don't feel particularly special, and I don't get a sense of their society outside of the main characters. The historical misdeeds reveal also lacked punch because I have no lower class characters to sympathize with. It's a little frustrating because I find the game pretty engrossing! Also when do I get to wield the Heaven Sward

I’m going to hit 70 on my first class (SCH) soon. What’s the best way up the gear treadmill? I know to start with the 70 class quest.

Hello I have Fantasia’d into a Xaela because the Azim Steppe content was fun as hell   Going from a max height Roe lady to an Au Ra is a bit disorienting. I’ll probably go back to Roe eventually.

The last Stormblood trial must have been soul-crushing in 290 class gear on release. It’s quite overwhelming at first. I blame the camera being a bit lovely.

Thundarr posted:Release week of 4.0's last story trial was great because you just knew that you would see seven people die 30 seconds into the first pull. Then enough would figure that part out to progress further into the fight and it was just a matter of whether enough people would panic and die to force a wipe. This was exactly my experience a couple of weeks before 4.4 too.

I like your posts. Arcanists are indeed the best, and I hope some of the future jobs use their weird shared level system with existing classes.

You can buy 330 gear and the mats to upgrade to 340 pretty cheaply with Clan marks now. Great for gearing up your secondary jobs or new 70s.

I’ve mostly seen toxic behavior in 24 player raids when the group wipes to a boss. It turns out that the mechanics aren’t optional on the current raid tier.

Is it worthwhile to spend Genesis on chest armor, or should I spend it on RHS stuff like a ring first? This is the first time I’ve been current with content.

Starboard/Larboard would be so much easier if it were 180 degrees and not ~200. Half of my failures were clips on the edge of it. I know you’re supposed to stand in the middle of the boss ty

Primpin, why not just pay to server transfer your current characters? I like FFXIV a lot, but I’d never want to do everything over again on a fresh character.

Finished the new trial and raid via Duty Finder. Overall the FFXIV community is pretty good! However, those assholes who get all high and mighty about wipes on completely new content are the worst. Clearing each boss only took 2-3 attempts, but we had multiple sanctimonious assholes in chat by the end.

I leveled MCH from 30 to 51 in the past couple weeks. I expected to dislike it from all the hate, but I rather enjoy it? I have SCH/SMN and DRK at 70 and do normal raids as a SCH. It's somewhat simpler than SMN and yet still engaging unlike RDM for me. I am excited for a complete overhaul in ShB though. It has a very clunky feel that can certainly be smoothed out.

I quite dislike the Stormblood Alliance Raids because the mechanics feel bad. Orbonne is probably the best of the bunch. As a bonus, the storyline sucks too!

The Seiryu Spine DRK sword looks so cool! But my DRK is only ilvl 368 and I’ve never cleared an EX primal before. I do have my SCH at 381. For people that have done the EX primal totem grind, should I gear up my DRK and hope for a drop, or grind 10 totems?

I remember being very frustrated at the SCH/SMN nerfs in 4.0, but now the class feels great again. I suspect balance on expansion release is always going to be a bit hosed. That's why you have multiple classes at level cap!

Cutter's Cry is the worst dungeon because the boss will wipe most groups once or twice.

I have completed Cutter's Cry twice in roulette. The first time everyone wiped on Chimera twice due to not paying attention to the attack patterns. The second time I ran it, I ended up soloing the Chimera as MCH because everyone else wiped due to ignoring the attack patterns. The Chimera is a poorly designed boss, IMO. Also the rest of it is terminally boring and ugly.

I enjoyed the 1 - 2 - 1 - 3 - 2 - 3 core rotation on MCH. I hope they keep that. 1 - 2 - 3 rotations are boring. Everything else about the changes looked awesome. It's going to be difficult to decide between DRK, SCH, and MCH now.

As a SCH main, I’m really bummed about the changes and might switch to DRK or MCH. Hope everyone likes long queues waiting for healers!

Sleng Teng posted:Sorry to interrupt whatever it is that is going on here but does anybody have any advice for this admittedly lame question? don't want to give up on this game! If I’m playing a caster, I put my instant abilities on the face buttons and cast abilities on the dpad. This aligns my thumbs so that I don’t move during cast abilities. It takes a few hours to build muscle memory for controller so just pick up a new class (so you have fewer buttons) and play for a session or two. After that controller should feel great.

I play with English text and the German dub to brush up on German. The German is usually much more plain and boring than the English text. Sometimes you'll get a whole paragraph of flavor in English and the German is a single line.
