No, I get that. But the issue there is that unless I'm missing something or they do something special for Hrothgar they have no access to new hairstyles like literally all the other races. That's super lovely because it means that Hrothgar players are getting even further left in the rain when it comes to event prizes or whatever. Considering they give away special hairstyles as prizes for contests (Strife Hair) and include it as part of the cost for Mogstation things, it feels like a pretty big oversight.

Yeah, I was looking forward to dressing up my purple bara cat man as Noctis, complete with his hair that I farmed MGP for.

The rdm changes look muddled? I'm glad nothing major is changing and some variety in aoe is nice. But more spenders on your gauge feel weird, since it doesn't exactly fill up fast, it looks like corps a corps and displacement still do damage sadly, and theres no ice or water move to complete the elemental arsenal. The new animations didn't even look that flashy to me.

If Fire IV refreshes AF though, I might return to being a BLM at least.

It doesn't look like Fire IV refreshes AF, what I was seeing was the new single target flare.

I only had about 20 minutes with the Benchmark this morning before I had to go to work, but I'm not sold on Hrothgar yet. I may have to experiment a bit more, but I don't intend to fantasia away from Elezen as it stands right now.

I only tried Helion. I'll have to see what the other clan looks like.

Hellions have reds and greens for skin tone. Lost have blues and purples. I think they both have the one face that can do Ronso horns.

This is slightly illuminating - I hadn't seen tooltips pulled that showed regular veraero and thunder and didn't remember the were set to much earlier then level 18 & 22. Scatter is at 18, so probably a safe assumption it's getting axed for the aoe aero and thunder.

Guess the names are maybe just placeholders and they'll be called something else at release like Veraero II. Still would have rathered they went with VerIce and VerWater to round out the elements.

What's up with Engagement and Displacement sharing a recast timer?

Below 40? Anything below 50 locks out Enkindle and Shadow Flare, leaving you with Bane, pet AoE, and a 30 potency Tri-Bind for dealing with groups.

I really wish they would bump the sync level for AV by 1, because being so close from your ARR capstones is excruciating.

While true, anything below 35 means you lose Fester and have nothing that actually feels satisfying to press.

Keep in mind that A) the version they were playing on is an old version, and potencies may have been adjusted on the live version, and B) non-healer cure potencies can be wildly misleading. Clemency is still 1,200 potency, even though it's not anywhere near that in "real" terms if you're doing a direct comparison with healer potencies.
This is the problem.
Physick is 400 cure potency. Vercure is 350. But a Summoner's Physick cures for less than 400 and a Vercure can heal for five digits. It depends on if they let it scale off of Int or not.

New summoner looks pretty great. All your pets are instant cast on a 10 second cooldown. Ifrit is single target. Garuda is AOE. Titan exists. Your cooldown rotation seems to be Dreadwyrm-->Bahamut-->Firebird-->Phoenix without needing to worry about turning aether into dreadwyrm aether or not.
Bane doesn't cost Aether anymore, and also spreads Tridisaster(Which lasts 30 seconds).

I mean it's like that because as I recall Mages have a similar button in WoW. But the point of it is that for those classes that can't do their attacks while moving not having a button for that means that your damage becomes zero whenever mechanics happen. BLM already suffers enough whenever they have to interrupt their rotation to move, no reason to make it worse.

yes and No. The mage specs all have some spell they can cast while moving but in most cases they don't want to. Warlocks are worse off. Mages can refresh their Dots, and Destruction warlocks have an instant cast spell that they can theoretically cast with moving, but Casting it on cooldown is more or less a vital part of their rotation and otherwise they want to stand with their feet planted firmly to the ground casting their 3 second cast time spells.

Yes. You get 3 mooglestones but you can't skip cutscenes. So do it while you have something else to do during the downtime.

The alliance raid roulette is basically guaranteed to give you one of the crystal tower raids right now(so long as you've unlocked them) which are potentially quicker and reward 2 mooglestones.

I didn’t want to watch the new trailer thing but I’m bored at work and it showed up on my YouTube recommendations so welp

i don’t know if solus is lying or not but the ascians have an agenda which means everything they say and do must be considered through that lens

he’s probably technically right because hydaelyn needs aether to survive and whatnot but that doesn’t make her a primal

also a little tired of “what you thought were good guys actually aren’t” plots but ff xiv tells its story well enough that I’m still going to play the gently caress out of it


either way I’m extra hype now

Yeah, it's similar to Gaius' whole speech before the Ultima battle.

If you use enough Aether you're able to summon any god. Shiva, Tsukuyomi, and Louisoux's failed summoning of the twelve all proved that. The difference between Hydaelyn and the primals is that Hydaelyn doesn't seem to want that. The primals do.

If anything I imagine it's that if you use enough aether the gods literally cannot refuse to be summoned, and the will of the summoner taints how they manifest (see: scared kid titan). But that doesn't mean that Garlemald's full facist fantasy aetheism now is the correct answer either.

Even with that revelation or "revelation" given Solus may not be entirely truthful, Hydaelin probably still isn't evil so much as inscrutable. There have been other primals like Ramuh and Shiva that aren't bad guys, even though we fight them anyway because that's just how we roll, and fighting Hydaelin once her goals eventually come into conflict with ours has been one of the most common fan theories for years.

Middy is definitely going to pop back into the story at some point with more cryptic input on the matter. He seems to know what Hydaelin is and doesn't have a big problem with it, so it's hard to say what side he'd take when the throwdown starts. He's watched me beat up a copy of him at his best though so maybe he'll just sit that fight out.

I wonder now, what actually happens to the planet if we punch out Hydaelin?
