RDM gets their main AoE burst at level 52, meaning doing any level 50 dungeons sorta sucks lol. Why would they do that Also I asked in the last thread but that was a few hours ago, have the new recipes been data mined yet?

I don't think they get the heat mechanic until level 60 so that's not too bad. Certainly isn't as bad as BLM getting 6 (8?) levels of Enochian before Fire IV

regardless the point is that SE isnt like, adorable, or naive, or whatever. they're a business making a decision which helps their bottom line but inconveniences customers. you can either let this bother you a lot or not bother you at all, but lets call a spade a spade

Mr E posted:I don' t have a personal opinion about this since I'm still at work, but it's really very stupid that they would put a solo instance this early in something that unlocks a ton of expansion content. Reminds me of the items you'd have to click at the beginning of WoW expansions that would despawn before you could, but worse. this thing is actually a blessing for me because it means i'll have RDM at 60+ and doing the same content as my friends since they're all bottlenecked right now, and i still think it's ridiculous

Ainsley McTree posted:One more newbie question about potd; are there aetherpool rating cutoffs I should be aiming for before proceeding to the next set of floors? I just finished floor 50 last night and I'm not sure if I should forge on ahead to 100, or go back to floor 1, I didn't see anything in-game suggesting how geared I'm supposed to be before moving forward. In case you didn't know, you require 30/30 (or maybe just a total of 60?) before the game will let you go past floor 50. I'd say that's a pretty solid benchmark too - the game level locks your aetherial gear to X+4, where X is the current dungeon floor, so you can only over prepare so much. It's also much easier to get aetherial gear boosts when your gear level is lower than the current floor.

Minrad posted:Cool RDM fun fact: Dualcast works if you're a succubus people have already mathed out optimal stuff, rdm is doing decidedly Okay for single target and pretty bad on AoE. this assumes equal gear, skill, and max level though so your mileage may vary based on your given level. SAM and BLM are the two big single target bruisers right now. RDM is also incredibly bursty, especially if you go into a fight with a grip of mana, which can make the job feel more damaging than it really is.

Ciaphas posted:How did they work that out, simulators or something? i don't know the logistics sadly, but FFXIV's potency system is highly transparent now that the formulas for damage have mostly been discovered. there's obviously room for error, either in math or future discoveries, but everything I've seen since the 4.0 "nerfs" to rdm (relative to the ~april build) suggests the job sits comfortably in the middle of the pack... or the lower end if you ignore brd/mch who are both basically tied for last. which is fine, the class is super fun and SE has typically been okay with changing numbers (though rarely mechanics) during patches. plus like I said RDM is also really bursty so until AoE pulls become meta it's actually quite good in dungeons and world content! e: and vercure/verraise are both strong for small group content, and Embolden is neat.

SKULL.GIF posted:I really wish RDM had a bit more depth/complexity to their rotation. Something like an additional effect to Fire/Stone that would make actually stacking Black or White mana to the detriment of Balance compelling would have been great. Like, get extra damage up from +30 to +50 mana disparity then immediately dump it to get back to balance, or something like that, like MCH's cooldown mechanic. I seriously cannot believe RDM don't get Moulinet until post-50, meaning any 50 synced content effectively makes your already-mediocre AoE both insanely boring and also really awful. Just making you get that skill at 50 (and Redoublement sometime before then) would be really nice.

motoh posted:So where's good to read theorycrafting? Discord, sadly. FFXIV has no central hub for information like that, no real Icy Veins analogue. Meaning if you want that sort of information you have to basically go treasure hunting through various discord pinned Google docs or know someone who knows already. I've also had decent success asking in reddit's daily questions thread whenever I needed a link to a specific thing, such as where to find info on ACT or job discord links, so I recommend that if you need to find a specific thing. Lord knows WHY it's so disorganized - FFXIV certainly has the size and popularity to justify a centralized resource - but you just sorta have to deal with it until someone with lots of time, game knowledge, and money to pay server fees steps up and consolidates it all.
