New MCH is  . It's gonna take some time to readjust thanks to muscle memory but so far I'm really liking it.They've successfully uncoupled the rigid Wildfire/Overheat rotation from your abilities and your damage output, so you really only have to be concerned with making sure you have 50+ heat in the tank before you WF, and then seeing how fast you can mash Heat Blast or Auto Crossbow. It'll also be important to make sure your charged shots and your tools are always on cooldown so you're using them as often as possible and you can benefit from HB's additional recharging effect. Then you do your 1-2-3 while everything else is on cooldown, and summon the Rook at 100 battery. And man oh man, I love being able to use Spread Shot for free now. Rip in peace, TP.

I'm lagging behind a bit. Just got to (70 MSQ) the Alphinaud/Alisaie branching questline and unlocked new leves/hunts. I'm liking the gradual introduction to the new areas. Given the general reactions to the MSQ this time around, I am so happy I'm focusing on that and not letting myself get distracted by side-content (for now). Though I am working on GNB leveling. It's just something extra to do for EXP/poetics when I can't commit time to a roulette. DizzyBum fucked around with this message at 23:19 on Mar 3, 2020 |

sexpig by night posted:I'm level 73 and just got to the Nu Mou, wow what a good loving expansion. I'm floored by the storytelling already and as an FFXI vet hearing a few people say 'the ending is better than Chains was' is a powerful endorsement considering I'm only mostly ashamed to say that storyline made me cry.  That's a mighty tall order so I'm really looking forward to playing through this!

Your Moms Ahegao posted:I played ARR on release up to level 50 as a WHM, but quit soon after. Feels like a good time to play again because buying Shadowbringers nets you all the other content. You don't necessarily have to start all over. If you feel lost, try running some of the early guildhests or dungeons to get a feel for your buttons, go beat up a training dummy, or do the Hall of the Novice. If you don't like the way WHM feels to you right now, go unlock something else you might be interested in and level it up from 1. Really there are better alternatives to wiping your story progression. #1 thing you should focus on is the MSQ. Do this until you get level-gated (which will take a while since you're 50 and still in 2.x), go do some leveling (Duty Roulette, etc.), rinse and repeat. #2 is your main job quests. Do them as soon as they're available because they dish out equipment and abilities. #3 is unlocking stuff via the blue-colored quest markers. You should take these when you come across them. There's tons of old content that goons will be more than happy to run you through because everyone gets bonus rewards if at least one player is a first-timer.

God drat, I'm not even 71 yet and the MSQ has been really engaging. Also, new MCH is really loving good. Reassembled Drills are amazing. Reassemble works with AoE now so you get a big burst of crit direct hits on a large group. And I love love love being able to overheat whenever and not stress out about wasting DPS. Rhonne posted:I've been skipping all the side quests(except the ones that give gear and aether current points) to do them on whatever job I level next, is that a bad idea? I think that's fine! I've been doing the same thing. I'm saving them for alt jobs and for whenever I get level-gated by MSQ.

Finally got around to doing custom deliveries this week. I totally forgot about the huge EXP rewards! Being level-capped for over a year does weird things to you. I also took some time to clean up my inventory and retainers. Extra materials going up on the market board, lots of old equipment getting shoved into the glamour dresser... So nice to have all those empty slots again.

Ibram Gaunt posted:Is it worth doing the doman reconstruction thing this late out or should I just vendor all these allagan plat pieces I have hanging around. Do it. It's a very small amount of effort once a week for some extra story/cutscenes, unique items/gear, and an achievement at the end. Allagan pieces are perfect for quickly completing the weekly requirement.

Hey other MCHs - when are you using Flamethrower? Now that it doesn't add heat, I've only been using it when all of these conditions are true: - All the following are on cooldown/charging and have at least 10s remaining: Hot Shot/Air Anchor, Bioblaster/Drill, Gauss Round, Ricochet, Barrel Stabilizer - Under 50 heat - 2 or more mobs Basically, it seems like a great filler ability for AoE damage when there's nothing else available.

79 MSQ reactions and  spoilers I'm so happy that I got to punch Vauthry in his ugly-and-then-suddenly-pretty loving face. I was also expecting Vauthry to summon Innocence, not be Innocence himself. I thought the Exarch might have been G'raha Tia, but I didn't expect that he was also from a bad future. Coughing up light really hammers in the fact that, yeah, you're gonna be hosed if you don't resolve this conflict ASAP. Calls back to the horrific turning scene from way back in Amh Araeng. You're the Lightwarden right now, which isn't exactly a good look for the Warrior of Darkness... I expected Ardbert would have played a role in helping the WoL contain the light directly. Instead you're just on borrowed time for now. I liked the pep talk with Ardbert and Feo Ul. Holy poo poo, Bismarck?! I think this is the first time we've seen the actual living entity on which a primal is based. I would love to see this concept explored further in the future. I'm really liking the Tempest. The aesthetic, the music... yeah, it's so good. I finally hit the point in the MSQ where you're gated by the role quests. I'm halfway to 80 so I should be able to finish this off in the next day or two. So far I've been able to avoid spoilers except for the name of the final boss (thanks, Youtube). But even that's fine because I still don't know what to expect. Shadowbringers is good, y'all.

FFXIV events are great. You can be 100% done with them in an hour or two, tops, and it usually only takes a half-hour to get the unique achievement. e: Thundarr posted:Yeah, most FFXIV holiday events can be completed quickly if you just want the unique items from them. Some have more staying power in the form of a mini game that's actually kind of fun to replay. Farming tradable items for resell after the event ends can be worth some money too, depending on exactly what's on offer (nobody usually cares about housing food items, but a cool looking tree may be worth big bucks 10 months later). I still have a Bombard Lamp from, like, 2014. I could sell it for a couple million gil if I really wanted, but I want to see how high it'll go. I also have a stack of Iron Clappers that'll totally be worth something someday you'll see!!

Finally hit MCH 80 last night. Automaton Queen is amazing. It does a ton of damage and it stays out twice as long as the Rook does. 80 MSQ spoilers: i340 gear for free after finishing the role quest? Yeah, that's awesome. The descent down from the Ondo village all the way to the hidden city feels very "Final Fantasy final dungeon" and I love it. I had to log off after taking the elevator down and talking with a Robed Giant. This is insane and I can't wait to see more.

More 80 MSQ spoilers. I just started the final MSQ. I'm happy the game gives you flight in the last zone before you finish the MSQ. Also I was worried there wouldn't be an aetheryte in the final region and I'm glad I was wrong. You share a soul with Ardbert! They did drop hints at that being possible, with the whole "everyone and everything was split into 14 parts" plot point. Wondering if we'll get to meet other Warriors of Light/Darkness in the future... Reliving the final days of Amaurot? This should be pretty intense.

StrixNebulosa posted:Dear Dragoon questline: why did you make sure a big deal out of getting the Drachen armor, then when I do the quest to get the chestplate, it gives me the wyrm set that drastically outlevels and looks better than the drachen one. This has been mostly answered, but the job questlines were how you gradually earned your first set of AF gear and the stories were usually written around them. Eventually they added in those upgraded gear chests as rewards to help speed gear progression for new players.

RoboJoe posted:I just did Baelsar's Wall for the first time and the Duty Finder matched me with three people who hadn't done it before too. The amount of shock and surprise in party chat at the final boss introduction cutscene was amazing! We all died to one of the mechanics and had to figure out what to do and got him the next time which which felt fantastic. It's probably the first time I felt I was doing and learning something with other people who enjoyed playing the game and the story instead of rushing through as fast as possible (which is understandable though, it is content multiple years old for most people), so I hope I get to feel that more as I carry on! Yeah, the post-Baelsar's Wall stuff was pretty .Feel free to ask goons for assistance because they won't rush you through cutscenes!

I finished Shadowbringers last night!  Big ol' spoilers: Holy moly that final dungeon is insane. Everything is just going to poo poo. The weather is "Termination". The first boss is just nonstop AoEs, the second boss is a giant trash mob and a DPS check before it explodes on you. And then comes that final backdrop of the world burning beneath you and you're in motherfucking space and you can see so many stars and there's meteors raining down and the music is pounding and aaaaAAAAAA  Waaaait what the gently caress? Why did I look like an Ascian all of a sudden? Maybe our souls were from an Ascian that Emet-Selch used to know before the Sundering? I'm intrigued. Holy poo poo, Hades? Well that's one way to get him in FFXIV. lol Alphinaud just passes out after swimming for miles lol Urianger is just floating in the water as the camera fades out Elidibus is the only one left! Let us go to the moon so we can kick his rear end already! HOLY poo poo ZENOS IS BACK BABY  FINAL BOSS OF 6.0 CONFIRMED?!What a wild ride that was. I'm hungry for more MSQ already. Now I can start leveling other jobs and unlocking all the new stuff!

Veriun posted:Just finished Susano, probably my favorite boss so far! I usually find it hard to keep up with everything that's happening on-screen in trials, but the field wasn't all that big, the AoEs were all nicely telegraphed and easy to avoid, and everyone clustering together made Cure III amazingly useful. That ridiculously huge-rear end sword and the tank holding it back It's really fun to do that as a SMN or SCH so you can hold back the giant sword with a book
