Freaksaus posted:Is there any new vendor that uses hunt seals at the end of the MSQ or at level 70, or should I just get the HW speed increases for now? There is, in Rhalgr's Reach. Has materia and minions iirc. Didn't see any gear upgrade items so it looks like the best you can do for now is just straight tomestone + primal gear

After playing dragoon at 70 more yesterday, I think I'm mostly happy with it. They managed to get it into a perfect lenticular space, where it seems very simple until you start to know what you're doing, at which point it gets much more involved. Knowing when you can safely press Geirskogul without delaying LotD, when to delay Geirskogul to make sure you get three Nastronds, how to order your jumps and such is just enough complexity to keep me engaged without feeling overwhelming, which is where both the ARR and HW rotations ended up being after I baked them into my muscle memory My only complaint is that the payoff for doing it all right feels super weak (even if it isn't, numerically). The number one change I'd make to dragoon is give LotD a 5-10% damage buff or something so it feel more exciting when you line things up successfully. Pull potency from anywhere but full thrust to make it happen, I love my new 440 potency best friend.

Is there actually a limitation that grade 6 materia can only go in the first slot, or was that just a fever dream I had while reading the patch notes?

Galaga Galaxian posted:It feels like I have received more commends on RDM in a week than I would get on BLM in three months. I and I assume every other dragoon in the game will commend any ranged DPS who stays in dragon sight range during dungeons, so that's a free way to pick up a few more

I know I said earlier that the only change I'd make to drg would be to make LotD do more, but if I were YoshiP for a day I'd also make Dragon Sight last until broken (with a 2 second or so grace period) instead of having a set duration because it's just such a fun mechanic

Yeah I interpreted that in the patch notes as "only one grade 6 per item, period" which would have been a fine system and thus seemed plausible

Harrow posted:I have absolutely no idea but it's probably the same reason Tri-Bind is still around (and Red Mages got their own Tri-Bind). tri-bind is still around because it's literally the only spammable summoner aoe. It's still better than ruin at like 4 enemies, I think

Harrow posted:Oh, so to clarify: I don't have to complete each dungeon to unlock it for a roulette (again, outside of expert or mentor), I just have to accept the quest that unlocks it? Well poo poo, that'll save me some time. Here I was thinking I'd have to set aside some time once I hit 70 to grind out completing all the 50/60 dungeons so that queuing with me wouldn't be a pain in the rear end for other players. You usually have to go 2-3 steps into the quest to actually unlock the dungeon but that's like a minute at most

Galaga Galaxian posted:I am ignorant of most other DPS jobs, what is this and what does it do? Dragoon has a move called Dragon Sight. It has a range of 6 yalms (double melee range or so), and targets a party member. For the duration of the buff, the Dragoon gets a 10% damage buff and the other DPS gets a 5% damage buff, but only if they stay within 6 yalms. There's a red tether between them if they're close enough, so it's visually obvious.

Note that there's no advantage to owning the expansion until you hit level 50 so don't buy the expansion early unless it's a good deal.

I believe the calamity salvager is tied to achievements so it should work with any gear that comes from a quest that grants an achievement.

Fister Roboto posted:There's very little to speculate about, since almost nothing is known about Varis, least of all what could cause him to react that way. I agree. If they just wanted Gosetsu to not be in the story anymore that was real fuckin easy because we were leaving everyone from Doma behind. So what was even the point of fake killing him? e: basically everything that happens in the east is dumb with a few minutes of thought anyways, though it has a lot of cool parts mixed in with the dumbness cheetah7071 fucked around with this message at 07:59 on Jun 25, 2017 |

The way he's handled in the drg level 70 quests makes me think Estinien is mostly written out of the story at this point. He might show up now and again, but only as a cameo, not a major character. His appearance in the MSQ could go either way though, taken by itself.

I haven't tanked the fight, but assuming it works like in T13 (and if it tethers, it probably does), damage is split between the MT and whoever is closest to them, which is supposed to be the OT.

Actually, assuming that the dungeon on odd-numbered patches is original and the ones one even-numbered patches are one original, one HM, we're only getting two hard mode dungeons the entire expansion That kinda sucks, I like HM dungeons.

Jimbot posted:Has the Dragoon's Elusive Jump always been broken trash? The game doesn't register your new location until you land, so I'm getting hit by AoE, pulls and what have you from the location I jumped from while mid-air or just right before I land. Is this some new bug introduced or was it always like this? I guess that's one less ability clogging up my hotbar. Elusive jump is good because of the enmity reduction and the fact that you move faster than walking, making it a gap closer that doesn't cost you DPS to save like the dives do. Also, about once per expansion the fact that it cures binds and heavies will matter.

Kobata posted:Nope, you can't transfer to Balmung or Gilgamesh now, they turned it off entirely for those. (And the same applies for any other server listed as 'Congested' on their list, character creation is perma-locked and transfers onto that server are disabled) They've been slowly hacking away at the reasons to want to go onto a congested server anyways. If they add cross-server linkshells and marketboards there will be almost no reason to care which server you're on anymore (though not no reason).

Coughing Hobo posted:Ain't this the truth. Before I transferred back to God's Own Server Excalibur, I went with some IRL friends to Gilgamesh, so at first I didn't see much of a difference (except for that server's markedly-worse attitude re: player skill), but then we moved to Ultros and what the gently caress where is everyone in Idyllshire. I could barely make any money because everything I tried to sell on the marketboard moved so slowly. Hunts were basically dead, and FATE trains just didn't exist. These days, Ultros and Excalibur are close to tied for server population. I don't think this was the case near HW launch though.

Coughing Hobo posted:This definitely was not the case back then. I was on Ultros for a majority of the HW patch cycle and transferred back to Excal during the pre-expansion lull, and Excal was still more active than Ultros at its busiest. It's possible that either Excal's population has more devoted players, or that there's some weird thresholding thing where past a certain number, each additional player "feels" like more, but a few months ago the number of players with the 3.5 MSQ achievement was only about 10% different. e: or so I remember, I can't find the image. It basically showed Balmung way in the lead, Gilgamesh a distant second, then a huge mass of close-to-tied servers behind them, including both Excal and Ultros.
