As a WHM Main I'm mostly annoyed that its new mechanics are just dumb and boring and I will literally have no difference between playing White Mage at 70 than I did at 60. Well, other than weaving Fluid Aura into Aero casts. I liked doing that.

Jinh posted:yeah it doesn't seem like they fully mathed that bit out, your melee damage is gigantic so being able to get into it faster is a big deal. it's basically only useful for your first opener of a dungeon though, since it requires you starting at 0/0 and doing a finisher move puts you up 21 of one type. It's also probably a bug and will be patched out soon

Ainsley McTree posted:I'm learning that as rdm, you have to be hella careful about using your melee combo on players, because they can just run away into their team blob and your choices are to run into your certain death trying to finish the combo, or bugging out and swallowing the fact that you just spent 75 mana on one hit That's why you dash in and hit them with the Heavy inducing attack Flunge first.

Harrow posted:Their abilities are clearly fueled by magic in FFXIV (hence the ice effects on some of them) so just think of sheathing your sword as an aid in concentrating your magical abilities or something. Everybody's abilities are fueled by magic in FFXIV. That's why every attack has these flashy particle effects, that's the Aether being used.

Reiterpallasch posted:melee-range healers, even melee-damage-range healers, would break a lot of existing fight design. the distance-based plumes in lakshmi that force the healers to run to outer space to not die would be impossible to handle on dancer, for example. The answer to this is to give the Dancer some ranged attacks. Like, they can just make them pseudo-magical by having a ranged dance combo. Heck, maybe something like the melee attack does less healing but more damage, while the ranged ones do more healing but less damage.

WhiteHowler posted:I kind of hated the twist on that last story bit though. Tossing Nidhogg's eyes off a bridge is the fantasy equivalent of leaving an old sofa on the side of the road and being surprised when it disappears. To be entirely fair, The abyss the bridge is suspended over is apparently a massive endless storm of wind aspected aether, so anything trying to go down there gets torn to shreds. Ascians cheat, basically.

WrightOfWay posted:It's not bugged, it just scales worse than Det, which is pretty much what everyone expected. Every ~200 Tenacity increases damage dealt/reduces damage taken by 1% and every ~180 Determination increases damage dealt by 1%. I had heard it was 1000 Tenacity to get 1% more damage? Plus, I thought that it being tank locked would make it scale better. Or at least enough to make stacking it worth while.

Sinteres posted:I could be wrong, but I thought the idea was more that Limsan encroachments were actually pushing them out of their spawning grounds, and that they couldn't just surrender them due to necessity so the conflict wasn't going to end as long as the Limsans didn't go away. Maybe I missed something though. Nah it's the former, this is brought up if you do the Sahagin Beast Tribe quests. Random fact: The treaty with the Kobolds was actually signed because the Sahagin had summoned Leviathan and used it to wipe out a village and take their current spawning grounds. Limsa Lominsa is honestly barely held together, I think the only thing keeping the majority of the pirates in the country under control is the fact that they can play privateer with Garlean ships.

Argas posted:It's a mix. Essentially, if they piss of the Elementals, the forest will reject them. It did so to the Ixals in the past and the Gelmorrans lived underground rather than incur their wrath. Getting along with the Elementals means doing whatever they ask you to. They find a balance with the demands placed upon them and usually don't try to push boundaries because it risks loving up their entire civilization. This comes up as an underlying story point in the leatherworker quests. They have to make do with what little material they can get their hands on because the city doesn't let hunters hunt too much. It's not that the Elementals have set a quota or anything, but the fear that they will be punished if they push too hard. This is also why Poaching gets a death sentence in Gridania.

This is why Scholar is my LLDR For Tomestones class of choice. if I do get a pre-50 dungeons, at least I'll be able to make it go by faster by being a third DPS effectively.

A 50S RAYGUN posted:i can't wait for the cap to be way worse than 270 gear so nothing changes Honestly even if the cap is worse it's still better in the long run. Also if Fending accessories have literally half the STR as Slaying accessories then they'd still have around 65 STR at 320 iLvl. Which a mere 13 points less than the 270 accessories.

Of course, there's also the entire question of If The Twelve are even real and not just mythology themselves. But either way, if you did summon one of The Twelve as a Primal, it would just be a Primal taking on the form of one of them, rather then the actual deity (again, if they actually exist.)

Rascyc posted:Most importantly it stops her from moving constantly if you're moving for something. Eos will prioritize moving over healing so you can drop a lot of healing accidentally if you are a bit schizophrenic with your movements. The fairy is immune to a lot of aoe damage but not everything so you can kind of abuse this with a lot of experience. Wouldn't this also apply to the Summoner's Pets? Would that solve the problem of Bahamut moving every 5 seconds?

Each Ascian we've dealt with has had been fairly distinct in personality, even if they're all not super deep. I mean, FFXIV loves to toss in bits of shades of gray but there's always the cackling pure evil Ascians ready to try and destroy the world.

RME posted:!Dualcast is one of the strongest abilities in FFV, so even if !Red falls off too hard in the long run you have to remember fiesta was never really the intended path for the game and other mages with !Dualcast are incredible Letting Red Mage have Level 4 Magic would be enough imo to let it be usable the whole game normally. Bio is twice as strong as the -ra Spells and having Shell, Blink, and Esuna would be useful. Come endgame and doublecast will make up for lack of power.
