Oh by the way, if you haven't heard yet: The Primal Lakshmi's theme is out and running wild.

Suffice it to say that the harder modes will undoubtedly require the whole raid to perform a full Bollywood routine.

It's not Bollywood enough. Though no amount of Bollywood will ever be enough.

Hey Paladins, you know how your cross class options were kind of lackluster unless you were doing PUG PotD? Now you can fill those slots with some of the class abilities you took for granted.

I'm going to miss popping Stoneskin on my PLD in phase changes, but I've got an actual skill to guard the party with and I've got an actual attack to spend MP on.

"Certain large-scale FATEs will no longer require level sync to participate."

Someday, many expansions in the future, we'll be able to GSM solo Gorgimera like Godbert did.

I'm getting kicked offline trying to do this Red Mage quest duty.

Do these quests unlock anything amazing or is it safe to go and gain levels until things shape up?

50s don't, they're just tutorial. Or at least the SAM one is. Haven't done RDM yet. Go get to level 52, maybe the problem won't be as bad by then..

I like that the first PLD job quest in SB gives a reason why there was no gladiatorial fight when leveling GLD. "Oh, we just didn't do it for 100 years." Rhalgr help me if I don't get to stand on the bloodsands this time!

There were Halatali HM and Dragon's Neck.

At first I was glad to be at work and playing in small increments while things were borked. Now I am sad that everyone is doing cool dungeons and trials without me. Remember me in Not-Japan, fellow goons.

Don't worry, you're not the only one who won't be able to play until later.

It'll level itself out eventually, much like Ninja and Machinist before it. AST and DRK, too.

It won't drop as hard as DRK because a lot of the players wanted DRK to be a button mashing edgelord DPS instead of a tank that expected players to think about their resource management.

I want Square to sort the Samurai combos for PvE in the way they do it for PvP. It's utterly perfect how well they have their stuff sorted out. There's literally no reason to ever use the combo skills by themselves, so packaging them with the skill that combos into them is just fantastic. I'm not sure why they just didn't design it that way to begin with. It cuts down on the skillbar clutter lots!

On classes with basic 1-2-3 rotations I set up hotbars that are identical except for the rotation and hotkey between them. 1-2-3, click, 1-2-3, click. Unless it's MNK then it's 1-2, click, 3, click, 1, click, 2-3, click, or something like that.

I was able to make one just now. Going to play the free trial as far as it will let me before going ahead and subscribing, though.

One thing I will give this game: compared to every other MMO I've played, enemies are weird and I love it. I have no idea what the gently caress a coblyn is but I've killed a whole bunch.

Wait until you start seeing classic monsters from the old games.

Good experience, overhauled combat, short queue times because everyone's grinding levels with it. PvP is in a great spot right now and I was able to farm up the last four wins I needed for Ginga over the past couple days.

You can PvP to cap now too. Well, you always could but it's been way better since they created separate limited and balanced PvP versions of the class' skills for Stormblood.

So I'm super burnt the gently caress out on PotD, and kind of want to start working on my DRK. Are the Command Missions decent XP all the way to 60 or am I still condemned to do the 50-60 grind in there?

You could always do PvP to level and get access to PvP glams as a bonus; but yeah, do the regular stuff as a DRK.

The main reason to heal or tank a CM is to get a feel for the class in a low pressure setting.
