WHILE we're talking about MNK and positionals and jazz, I've got a question about clipping buffs. As a monk, should I be refreshing Dragon Kick before or after the debuff drops off the enemy? At the moment I'm doing Dragon Kick combo, Bootshine combo, Dragon Kick combo. If I do DK, BSx2, DK then the second DK is hitting the enemy after the debuff has dropped off, BUT I get a second bootshine in during the debuff window. Which of these is the higher dps?

I'd also like to ask the exact same question but for Twin Snakes - should Twin Snakes hit while the buff is still up, or after it drops off?

I always try to reapply before the buffs/debuffs fall off, if less than 5 seconds are on the clock.

Also positionals are good and bads like you guys are what ruined MCH in the first place. :colbert:

I like MNK and it's doing pretty well. I hit 4.1k DPS on O1S and I'm only 61st percentile so clearly it can go even higher.

Apparently they're adding Lyse's first outfit to the Mogshop (they're not ready to give away her dancer outfit or so they say or something).


I'd definitely be interested in that glamour, but only the jacket part. I want a shirt under it, not a boob tube.

I really need that jacket. I don't mind the boob tube, I just need it to be dyeable.

It won't be dyeable will it. :(

Are there MMOs where questing is the fun bit rather than everything else? I can't imagine if it was better to level by collecting 8 Wind Cores from those drat sprites instead of running The Vault.

Questing in Runescape is the best bit of the game.

Has anyone else noticed they've replaced the Lochs town's themes with the generic Alarm Mhigan town theme rather than the Lochs daytime theme? A real shame, the introductory trumpets the first time I went into the Lochs were amazing.

I think the best thing about Lochs is the music which might be one of my favourite zone themes.

The Lochs and Azim Steppe do have some of the best background music in the entire game. The Lochs in particular has this awesome combination of foreboding yet triumphant, too bad that the night version of it is kind of meh.

The Lochs night theme is also one of my favourites. :( There's something about the piano that replaces the trumpets that makes it really lovely.

Walking into that zone for the first time with its music playing and the silhouette of Ala Mhigo looming over in the distance was pretty rad.

Like this:


That was a drat good moment in SB, but they've changed the music in the towns in the Lochs to have the generic Ala Mhigan town theme rather than the Lochs day theme, which is a shame.

remember that MCH's problem isn't damage - if you look at people running meta comps, the MCH is usually one of the top 2 players; in addition they have hypercharge to boost raidwide dps. that adds up to a lot (as long as you have a drg). the problem is the perceived boringness of the rotation. if yoship wants to fix the class, then it's a playstyle question, not a buff/nerf question. for this reason I doubt we'll see many changes.

Since when was Hypercharge a raid buff? All I'm seeing is a damage buff for my turret.

I'm finally starting to get i330 gear on my MNK and have just started to look at melding some materia. All of the pieces seem to be +Skill Speed and +Determination, which left me with like 750 Crit...

I take it just slotting +40 Crits into everything that will take them isn't the worst idea? And do Direct Hit for gear that actually Crit built in?

Any crit gear actually wants +skill speed, once you have a certain amount you'll be able to go under 2.00 GCD at GL3.

So I've been derping around at my own pace, got into HW, enjoying myself. Even if I've got all sorts of opinions of the poor life choices theatre that was the end of the 2.x stuff, also why am I allowed to run around while being a wanted criminal what even game? I'm at the point where I can get an apartment or a goon-room or whatever. Is it really worth getting if I don't have my crafting classes leveled up to make furniture? Getting one just to have it seems kinda weird.

The po-po in Gridania and Linda don't believe it and don't care, the folks in Uldah don't believe it and turn a blind eye. Talk to the various guild leaders where you've finished their storyline, it's quite sweet how they defend you.

I haven't since ARR, no, so I probably should. I do love how ridiculously flashy it is and the "I can barely hold all this arcane power" casting animations. I'm a little spoiled by how mobile RDM can be but I bet BLM is really satisfying when you pull it off right.

Nothing like a Foul-Quad-insta-Flare-Foul combo.

You're likely correct. If you haven't read them already the journal entries are fun for the SB quests. This is both because Fray/Esteem is still writing them but also because it implies you sort of knew all along what was happening and went along with it because you actually did help a couple of people out.

Incidentally as somebody pointed out a while ago Myste is meant to really strongly evoke both Haurchefant and Ysayle, so while they didn't really fully spell out everything that happened it's not hard to put it together.


I think I genuinely liked the SB ones better than the 30-50 DRK quests, and a lot of that is because of how it builds on the previous storylines and is weirdly positive.

The last line in your quest log for the 70 quest is really sweet.

I've been playing BLM for a while and I keep seeing people talk about doing Foul -> 4 flares -> Foul and I'm wondering how you do it? The most I seem to be able to do is three - once with the umbral hearts, a second time to zero out my mana, then use convert for a third. Do you use ethers or something similar for another flare, or is it dependent on people mana-shifting you?

Ether to get your fourth. If someone mana-shifts you you might be able to get a fifth in? If you want to swift/triplecast all of them it's a max of four fast flares sadly.
