Ignore it until 60, then do this http://www.ffxivguild.com/ffxiv-gathering-rotation-appraisal-collectibility-scrip-farming/

Ideally, ignore all of this until 70.

I play primarily healer and I can't stand it when tanks do tiny pulls. Mega pulls are what make playing a healer tolerable in low level all dungeons.

Anything less than the biggest pull possible and the tank doesn't get comm'd. There are very few exceptions to this rule.

One of those cases where I can't tell if OP is a career troll or just broke-brained but it sounds like everybody on Faerie hates them either way.

I could only read the first two pages. I imagine the other 15 is just more of the same.

I'm glad that for the most part people in roulettes are pretty chill (had a blast with a goofy group running Crystal Tower last night), but definitely ran into a few asshats.

I was running CT last night with friends and we were trolling the other alliance tanks. Were you in the one where our WAR was deliberately stealing aggro just because it made the DRK extraordinarily mad?

Good, Gilgamesh markets have been mostly dead when it comes to low level gear. There's also been a problem with FC recruitment since everyone is already level 70, so you couldn't grow an FC with new players.

Josuke Higashikata posted:

I'd read there'd been a mass exodus of Gilga for whatever reason

There were no new players on the server which made the community feel stale. The newbie areas were all dead, it is impossible to start a new FC, you couldn't play with friends who were new to the game unless you made an alt, and like I said above, low level markets were messed up.

Someone just undercut me by over 1m on a low volume item that takes forever to sell. :cripes:

Here's a fun tip for newbies who want to make money. Everyday at anytime there's someone undercutting an item by so much that it isn't profitable for competitors to chase them to the top of the market board, buy that garbage and relist it.

Clemency is good to passive-aggressively let your healer know you don't trust them.

No, that's when they use LD, HG, or holmgang.

I still don't get how so many people are still so bad at Hashmal. Sure there are several things that can one shot you, but they have such gigantic obvious tells.

This is how I feel. I have more trouble with the first boss, everything after that is braindead easy.

Yeah after doing some research I guess I was wrong. DP is still pretty bad, but not completely useless. Your priority list for MP expenditure should be AD > TBN > DA DP > DP > DA Q

This sounds like they're adding more barriers to prevent big pulls.

From the sound of it, it's something that basically means you can't progress until cutscenes have done.

Yeah, I read that wrong, I thought it meant all mandatory dungeons in the main scenario. I am going to dread having to do MSQ roulette.

You still should do positionals past 62. If you're doing your rotation correctly you won't have excess kenki.

Today I learned that the Aery is one of the hardest dungeons in the game. Nidhogg can be an absolute monster if your dps are undergeared.



Edit: Heavy thrusts is for nerds and so are DOTs in general. Those charts only cover the Nidhogg fight.
