EponymousMrYar posted:I'd argue that RDM is simpler than BLM rotations simply because it's more forgiving for movement and even if you mess it up it doesn't take much to correct your White/Black mana levels to where they need to be. Yeah as a BLM main I would absolutely say that RDM is easier to be competent at.

Schneider Heim posted:How to be that guy, the MSQ indicator on my screen is taunting me every minute I play the game. IIRC you can turn it off somewhere if it's legitimately bothering you? The people I really don't understand are the people that don't check the 'hide this if I'm all caught up' option so they just have a thing constantly telling them they don't have any more quests.

Chucat posted:It's not even doing mechanics, it's just sitting around for 3+ minutes waiting for the add phase to happen otherwise Ifrit will chaincast Hellfires while invincible until we all just get bored and die. I do like that a WHM could solo Twintania in like 3.55 just by letting her enrage and then healing through it. Probably doable by any healer job now.

Cythereal posted:I took a look through the Nexus stuff for FF14, curious as to what's on there, but the majority of it is surprisingly benign - super HD hair and face models, cleaning up overly busy armor models (deleting extraneous straps, mostly), things like that. I installed an HD au ra scales mod because the default texture looks like rear end. I know there's also one that replaces the xaela scales with black instead of blue and makes them shinier, but I'm not sure if I wanna go that edgy.

I say it a lot but it's loving criminal how bad some of textures in this game are. Like, look at Demi-Bahamut's wings: Also, let us have higher quality shadows. My graphics card can take it, I promise.

It might be a bit on the skimpy side, depending on what you want.

I've never healed in raid roulette but I'm pretty sure they're easy to heal at this point. Rabanastre, on the other hand, looks like it'd be difficult to heal through.

I was reading something online and it put in my head the mental image of someone freaking out when they discover the Warrior of Light taking a nap at the bottom of a bath or in the middle of the ocean because they don't know about the Kojin's Blessing. Like, I've been scuba diving before, if I could sleep while underwater I totally would.

Grab what you can from the quests. If you do roulettes and get Allagan tomestones of poetics, you can turn them into item level 120 gear at Mor Dhona, which is only 10 short of the cap for all of 2.X.

Solo Wing Pixy posted:This one had occured to me too, actually. Obviously Thordan ate him and then you killed Thordan to death. Presumably his aether would have been absorbed by the eye at that point and been floating around in Shinryu, so maybe he could still exist? There is literally no way that Zenos is going to get redeemed, considering that they're already lining up a redemption arc for Yotsuyu, Fordola, or both. IIRC they said they explicitly made Zenos to be turbo-evil after people started sympathizing with Gaius.

Ironically, you can't clear O5N without healers doing DPS because of the ghosts, but the O5S ghosts don't require healers to DPS. (yeah I guess you could let the healers die in O5N and let a non-BLM caster raise them but ssh) Hobgoblin2099 posted:I'm terrified to tank, because whenever a swarm of enemies comes out, I never seem to be able to hold aggro on all of them. There's sometimes going to be a couple that get away on huge pulls, just use your ranged pull ability (or Abyssal Drain if you're DRK) and voke/ultimatum. It's only really a problem if someone drops below like 1/4 health.

Eltoasto posted:Are bards actually in demand? I figured since they got the rework to be mobile that the game would be flush with them. BRD has plenty of players since it's apparently in a really enjoyable spot and is better at the 'support' role than MCH. Every job can do solo stuff. Healers will do it slower but that's just because they have less DPS. I don't have a 70 WHM but my understanding is that it's the best for dungeon running since you can chain-spam Holy for shittons of DPS and damage mitigation (you get 10 seconds total of stun on the mobs if you do it right). Out of the healers and ranged DPS (not sure if you're including casters in this, since people generally distinguish between SMN/BLM/RDM and BRD/MCH) the only one I'd actively avoid is MCH, since the gameplay is just really unpleasant to me at the moment.

Yeah I'm not a raid healer by any means but I also enjoy 'oh gently caress everyone is dying oh gently caress oh gently caress' far more than 'welp, time to toss out a regen on the tank and spam my single DPS ability forever'.

Thumbtacks posted:I did sigmascape for the first time yesterday and Kefka feels like a fight made for Savage. Like there’s so much potential for fucky mechanics with confusion and the weird tower but I feel like normal doesn’t utilize either super well. I did enjoy it, though, and I’m curious about Omegascape or whatever they’ll call the last third. I hope sephiroth shows up but I know he won’t They literally design fights for Savage and nerf mechanics until they're satisfied. Also his model and animations are straight from Dissidia.

I stack crit preferentially and direct hit under that, but I could theoretically get a couple anemos BLM pieces and meld them up with spell speed if it would significantly increase tolerance for mistakes.

while we're at it I with BLM had more actually good casting animations. Their oGCDs are good (especially Triplecast) but the actual GCD animation just doesn't do it for me. SCH/SMN's feels way more dynamic. The effects are generally pretty good tho.
