I remember doing those quests and I did them during patch 2.5.

Why were they removed though? Horrible DPS queues?

I'm pretty sure even a tank would get abysmal queue times for those.

I've done Moggle Mog regular and EX about 200 times each. I have no clue what the mechanics are. I just know they're different between the two and doing them wrong causes a swift wipe.

Mog hard does an AOE when his health hits a certain point that is a hard wipe if more than like, 6 of the adds are still alive, unsynced you can get away with only killing about 3 of them but synced it's probably safer to burn them all down before hitting the boss.

Mogex is the easiest to gently caress up, Mog himself is invicible if any of the adds are still allive, but any time one of them dies he will use his health to revive them/fully heal the rest. After the third time one of the adds dies instead of healing them, he just starts a 30 second enrage timer, so the trick is to get them all low before killing one. Or run 8 WHM and just spam holy.

Amon's hat. BRD and MCH only.



That parts a bit harder to nail down. There are a lot of floofy dresses. The Thavnairian Autumn Wool Dress is a good start.

I'm pretty sure the Welkin hat from the AST AF2 set holds the trophy for "biggest hat".

I don't remember where I read it but I remember seeing somewhere that Midgardsormr was actively dying when he landed and Mom had to work to heal him. I think Omega mentions it as the reason it couldn't find him.

As someone still moving through the MSQ (I think I'm close to starting Stormblood; I just finished the dungeon where you kill a bunch of bird people, something starting with an X), what is all this O-number-S stuff people keep talking about?

Also, is it worth creating my own Party Finder group for continuing the Binding Coil stuff? I haven't seen one for the 2nd part yet (and feel like I may have gotten lucky with finding one for the first part).

O is for "Omega" the number is for which fight it is, fights are released in groups of 4 so O1-4 are the first tier, 5-8 the second and then 9-12 are the current tier that got released this week. The "s" means it's the savage version of that fight.

I think I'm officially in Stormblood now. I just finished a fight against the Warriors of Darkness and all the cutscenes that followed. I like having Alisiaie (or however you spell her name) be the more direct action-oriented of the twins.

This game has an extremely solid JRPG plot.

You're not quite to stormblood. There's 2 more big plot points to cover before you get there.

Griz posted:

iirc it only procs if the player is affected by a spell (not ability) that does some amount of direct healing. AST regen will do it because it has a small heal built in, WHM regen won't because that only applies the regen effect. tetra, essential dignity, and the regen bubbles don't work.

ED should work because it's an actual heal and not a "just set their HP to full" like tetra.

The strongest argument against DNC doing damage to generate healing is that it would give honest healers an aneurysm and I doubt SE wants to do that.

So hyperbole aside, how much attention are Scholars actually paying to the tank during the dungeon, like the trash and similar

To me the whole "let Eos do it" has always smacked of memery and I've always been a touch panicky. But that was a year ago in a non end of cycle context

Sub 35-40 content you really can just leave everything to eos. At 70 your fairy + your OGCDs are enough to keep up with anything the dungeons can hit your tank with. Unless your DPS aren't doing anything in which case you might run out of aetherflow and have to hard cast something.

If the tank does single pulls your fairy can handle everything with no input from you whatsoever.

The only problem with DRK's current setup is you could drain all your MP then have none left for melee attacks (remember, TP is going away.) So something's gotta give.

This is only going to be true if they don't just make TP moves free. Which I think is more likely.

A few days ago I hit 50 and completed the Praetorium, but the quests after that have all been level 50. I did some googling and saw that there are a TON of level 50 quests before the Heavensward content...do I really have to do all of these level 50 quests first? It is frustrating running all over the place and hardly getting any xp.

Those quests bridge the gap between the expansions. You have to do all of them.

The only issue with a12s unsynced is back in 4.0 is the phases tended to get pushed too fast so there wasn't enough time to build up LB3 and divine judgement still did enough damage to kill non tanks.

I was likely going to play a tank because that’s what I do in most MMOs these days — I just wanted to make sure that leveling a tank wouldn’t take forever if I have to quest solo

Anything that isn't explicitly a boss fight (which almost always will take place in a special battle instance) will die in a few seconds even against healers. Quests focus more on "go here, do thing, go back and talk to person" than grinding through a bunch of monster HP.

THE AWESOME GHOST posted:

It's pretty hilarious that this game seems to have so much power creep that when you do the quest for artifact armor they literally give you another complete set of better artifact armor on the spot. I do remember people saying the original level 50 gear they give you is no longer any good (Which is crazy because it's soooo much better than anything you get before 50). Also the best possible bow at 50 looks like some random crafted wood bow and none of this relic green blue magic stuff

It's because there's literally 3 raid tiers worth of gear between the end of the praetorium and the start of HW and they don't want people to have to grind tomes for a week just to be able to do the already overly long 2.X MSQ.

I'm not sure how any of this is a surprise.
