Hommando posted:This does not describe SB WHM at all. Lost stoneskin, fluid aura does no damage, lilies are mostly useless, lost divine seal, lost protect, lost shroud, cleric stance is useless, lost esuna, cure II doesn't proc a cheaper cure III. I don't understand why you're saying you 'lost' Esuna and Protect when they're just role actions now?? Divine Seal got renamed to Largesse and got somewhat nerfed, Shroud got renamed to Lucid Dreaming and got a small buff (3 extra seconds of duration), and Fluid Aura on CD was a whopping 5 potency per second that you could only use on bosses. I agree Lilies are dumb but your complaints don't make any sense.

I mean either you have the beta be invite-only or lottery-based in which case all the people who don't get in will throw a shitfit, or you have it be open in which case you get the same thing you do with 'early access'.

Thumbtacks posted:Can someone explain how ACT works? I've never used it before but now that stormblood's out I'm curious. I know someone in DGKK was using it already in Stormblood but I've never used it before so I dont know what I need to install to make it work. I don't know if now would be the best time to gently caress around with it, since apparently the stormblood support might not be all there. But in general you install ACT itself, then you install the FFXIV plugin so it knows how to parse XIV (since ACT is more of a framework that can deal with multiple games), and then you install a plugin to display a little DPS overlay window. Once everything works it's mostly just set-and-forget.

The white mage did zero dps, and one of the bards never used his songs. After the wipe the healer called me a retard for being undergeared and then they kicked me. Yeah, I'm sure if tank damage used VIT then they would've been totally understanding and wouldn't have kicked you for some other idiotic reason.

Orcs and Ostriches posted:I'm going to say that you'll pick up the essentials of tanking quick enough, and none of the story dungeons are going to be mechanically intensive for a new tank. Learn how to hold threat on multiple targets, learn to use your defensive abilities properly and you've got a good start. once your comfortable not losing threat and not dieing, you can play around with stance dancing on bosses. And if you mess up, well, you mess up. Everyone else is overgeared by this point so you'll have an easy enough time to recover. You can always practice by running some mid-level stuff to get a feel for it. It doesn't really change past the 30s. As someone who had never played an MMO before this one I had no problems learning how to tank.

Magil Zeal posted:Speaking of differences in quest text based on race/gender, I did find one bit as a lalafell. During the Doman MSQ, in the questline where you need to disguise yourself as an imperial, you are given three choices of soldiers to strip of their clothing, and choosing the roegadyn as a lalafell gives an amusing response. Choosing the lalafell as an au ra had a really good response too, though I can't remember what.

Oxyclean posted:Fire 1 3 and 4 feel kind of similar, one is faster, the other stacks you instantly and the last you just need a buff to cast. I'm not really sure why Enoch doesn't just make your fire 3 better or whatever, or fire 1 and 3 aren't merged/upgrades. Blizzard is basically the same, granted they added the umbral heart thing. Does Blizzard 1 even come into the rotation anymore? Why is blizzard 2 still around? Why is there one ability to warp to ley lines and another to warp to a player? (Although I think most BLMs are going to agree between the lines was a poor way to solve leyline problems) B1 gets used during Umbral if you hosed up Enochian, or as a replacement for T3 if it has more than 18 or so seconds left on its Thunder timer (for example, if you used a Thundercloud proc late in the Astral phase). It's not common, but it does have a use case unlike the old T2. I guess B2 might be useful for soloing because of the Bind effect? Also I like Between the Lines, it's really nice being able to AM over to a player and then BtL back to my lines. Making them be the same ability would requires AM to have a 3-second cooldown, which would be hilarious but also really overpowered. vOv fucked around with this message at 23:05 on Jun 23, 2017 |

Meiteron posted:I was already in love with this particular dungeon early on with the appearance of Tall Ninja. Why is he so tall? Who knows! He's a Tall Ninja. I dunno why I find the concept so funny but I do. Having a Tall Ninja as the second boss was just icing. What really sold this dungeon on me was the boss fight at the end. Given that the second boss has attacks named Clockwork Raiton I think it's because he's actually a robot ninja, which is amazing. And I'll eat my hat if Yojimbo doesn't show up again in some other dungeon.

Ferrinus posted:I did some math about this and I concluded that, if you assume that spellspeed, swiftcast, triplecast, and leylines don't exist (such that a Fire 2 Fire 2 Flare Flare rotation is like ~20.5 seconds total, while a Flare Flare rotation is 14.5 seconds), it's better to cast nothing but Flares on 5 mobs or fewer, while it's better to use Fire 2s and then Flare on your last umbral heart against six mobs or more, although the potency/second is very close either way. What about T4 maintenance? I've been doing B4, T4, F3 just so that I always have Thunder rolling because Thundercloud procs are really good.
