Mr. Nice! posted:Its a massive tank nerf is what it is. With a good enough threat lead you can actually maintain hate forever without ever attacking just because of the fact that Provoke+Shirk scales exponentially, which is pretty hilarious.

FisheyStix posted:I'm kind of in this same boat. On the one hand, I already have DRK at 60. On the other hand, PLD looks so cool, now. On the other other hand, PLD is level 50 and I don't wanna drive myself insane by doing palace of the dead another million times. And... on the other other other hand, their AF3 looks sooooo cooooool The nice thing about leveling a tank is that you can also do 5060 and LDR instead of PotD (and Palace doesn't give you more XP after 60 anyway, so it starts to drop off). The downside is that if you do 5060 you won't get to play with any of your fun 52-58 toys until you hit 60, and if you do LDR you have a good shot at getting Sastasha or some poo poo. I was in the same boat as you at the start (60 DRK, 46 PLD) and I've gotten my PLD to 55 just by doing a couple roulettes with it. Should be able to hit 70 in a couple weeks.

Ciaphas posted:I've got a sudden hankering to take another look at BLM after work. How did they turn out in Stormblood? The only thing I know is Enochian being tied to AF/UI uptime, I don't know anything about what abilities they got. Losing Raging Strikes and the crit nerf hurt the huge numbers somewhat but I've gotten 22k direct crit fouls at i293 or so, maybe like 16k Fire IV direct crits.

Orcs and Ostriches posted:It would still be bad. In high end content you don't just slam your cooldowns every time they're available. They're organized to hit specific phases of the fight, and to avoid specific phases of the fight. On the other hand, imagine being able to tank ult twice as often. It'd be pretty wacky.

Clarste posted:That's the most efficient way to use your MP, but I've heard some debate about whether it's worth the bother of using Fire 2 at all, rather than just jumping straight to Flare and going through the entire cycle faster. I'm not an expert though. I've also heard debate about whether using T4 is worthwhile at all. Honestly I'm a little tempted to just sit down and math it out myself. (Fun fact: at something like 28 enemies, F2 is actually more potency/second than Flare because of the falloff.)

Fist 2nd boss is utter hell on BLM, let me tell you.

Reiterpallasch posted:Using capital letters for a second to show my sincerity: your mistake was not doing the EX primals earlier. The longer a fight's been out the worse the PF pool gets, since a lot of the people in those groups are players so bad they've been trying to clear for a long time and have been lobtomizing any group they join. For stuff introduced in future patches, if you don't have a static and are looking to clear, I'd seriously advise you to get your clear in the first day, three at the outside. Even Zurvan, who was eating Party Finder clear groups alive right up until the Stormblood launch, was really easy to clear in PF on the first couple of days. "Get a clear in the first three days" is generally good but it's completely useless advice for expansion launch primals. I was gunning for 60 as fast as I could but I'm only now hitting the i300 requirement today because I've just been doing EXDR and 5060 for tomes, but I'm going to be out for the next few days to see family anyway. The other problem is I'm a DPS player so it's just harder to find parties in general.

Minrad posted:it's kind of weird that they added a psuedo heal that scales on tank hp after removing lustrate's %age heal I'm pretty sure the reason for that is because they didn't want SCHs staying in Cleric and dumping Lustrates into the tank. Now it doesn't matter.

Minrad posted:he was being nice in chat but the context was him standing in hallways and entering his cpose idle stance any time an extra mob was pulled by accident or otherwise. I've definitely had groups that wanted to fullclear even when we were at 60 but after a single party message saying 'hey, we don't need to do that' I just went along with it cause I wasn't gonna change their minds.

A 50S RAYGUN posted:has anyone else noticed a lot of tanks uh...not tanking? in lldr i've gotten three tanks in a row that would lose aggro in trash pulls and make no effort at all to get it back. no aoes on pulls, barely any enmity combos, no matter how much i asked. I've definitely noticed tanks having problems holding aggro off me as a BLM. They've also all been WARs. I have no clue if that's a coincidence.

Orcs and Ostriches posted:Emnity seems a bit harder than I was used to (probably the loss of vit dps), now with level 66 tanks. What I am noticing as a healer is a string of tanks that multi pull and then don't pop cooldowns, or pop convalescence or awareness and expect them to matter one poo poo. I'm pretty sure Convalescence is one of the better cooldowns, since from a 'incoming heals - incoming damage' perspective it basically takes 17% off incoming damage. So it's slightly weaker than Rampart.

at only 20 runs. When they first added Alex normal I remember running some turns more than 20 times with a full 8 premade because it only dropped 2 tokens at a time and you could easily have multiple runs where a specific token (like a shaft) simply did not drop at all. The current token system is fine.

I'm pretty sure that more spellspeed would favor F2 since it means you'll spend more of your rotation waiting for mana ticks. In the absurd limit where you have a 0-second GCD then you'd want to cast as many spells as possible.

I tanked some in HW as DRK and the thing that always annoyed me was that against bosses you're basically always doing a really simple combo. It's fun when you're pulling a shitload of mobs at once and hitting cooldowns in pairs just to stay alive, but given that the bosses actually hit less hard outside of savage/EX stuff it just felt boring. Same thing with healer DPSing.
