Still don't know if I'm gonna dive in with Astro or White Mage. Astro skills look so cool and WHM skills don't look as good as Stone 4 and Aero 3.

ManSedan posted:I want to get into this game again- I previously played back during ARR but didn’t get very far. Around the time Stormblood came out I got HW on sale and boosted my dude to 50 and played for a while more. Im getting the itch to reinstall, but I’m torn between starting all over from 1 and slogging through ARR or continuing from where I am, which is somewhere in Ishgard and completely overwhelmed by buttons. If actions are overwhelming you, you have a couple good options: Run a few low level dungeons, increasing level as you relearn the skills. Pop into Palace of the Dead and run a few tiers, regaining your skills as you level inside.

SmallpoxJenkins posted:Is there any reason I shouldn't use a jump potion for my CNJ, just to be done with the msq? Because using a jump potion on your CNJ won't finish the MSQ. e: There's a separate story skip potion you need for MSQ stuff. Job potions only give you job + appropriate gear.

ReWinter posted:I skipped most of SB, did SAM end up in as weak a place as people say/ does it look to be getting any better with ShB? SAM's main, if not only, weakness was their lack of raid utility. They were second to Black Mage in damage, so their personal dps was fine. I know a few SAM mains that were quite successful in raiding, but they did have a stimga from the meta-comp only crowd. They're great to play though. They were super mobile, and had a rapid pace without going into stupid Mech or Ninja burst phases.

LITERALLY MY FETISH posted:and realistically, in certain fights a samurai being able to dump a whole bunch of damage on something in a short period of time was a utility in and of itself. Yeah. One thing I'm looking forward to is doing this during a single Trick window: Kaiten Midarre Setsugekka, Hissatsu: Senei, Kaeshi: Setsugekka, Meikyo Shisui -> Kasha, Kaiten Higanbana. If my math is right, that's 6712 potency in 4 GCDs. You can probably throw a Shoha in there, as well as using Ikishoten to dump a couple Shintens as well.

SmallpoxJenkins posted:That's actually what I meant to say. A story skip will unlock every dungeon required to progress through the MSQ, up until the point you've skipped to. You can still go back and queue for them later, as well as any optional dungeons that weren't required. If you use a job boost, you'll skip all the job quests, and be unable to redo them (until new game + maybe?) Rhonne posted:Didn't someone post a height chart way back in the last thread?

Alder posted:Debating if I want to wake up early for patch or just embrace the few days before my 2nd summer classes begin soon. I do want to level DRK but tanks always rely on gear and RDM is my most well-geared job atm As long as you don't so some jank like wear your 70 gear all the way to 80 you'll probably be on the better side of tank gear. And between MSQ and automatic dungeon rewards, as long as your DRK is in decent shape now I doubt it will be a problem. Run an extra dungeon or two to make sure if you need to.

So I got AST to 80 and did some 80 things. And well, this job is way better than it ever has been from a gameplay perspective. The cards require way more decision making, especially since you can easily get 3 or 4 cards going at the same time. Celestial Intersection is love, and Horoscope is surprisingly potent, and useful with the amount of "eat a continual bunch of aoe" mechanics there are. Playing AST since 3.0 and have never had this much fun. AST is way higher apm than it ever has been, and I'm glad I went AST over WHM first. Pros, condensed: Cards - everything about them. More actions, more decisions, no loving OG spire or ewer. Celestial Intersection - My favourite new AST skill. Low cooldown and great ability for an oGCD. The shield stacks with Galvanize and Divine Benison. Celestial Opposition - The regen stacks with other regens, and the shield stacks with other shields. Horoscope - Doesn't say the potency on it, but it's probably 400-500. Get a ton of use out of it. Never had any MP issues with sloppy Lucid usage. If I have any complaints, it's that: Dps wise I'm way less potent than my 72 WHM. Celestial Opposition feels weak for the CD time (120) Collective Unconsciousness is the worst bubble Orcs and Ostriches fucked around with this message at 07:36 on Jul 1, 2019 |

Thumbtacks posted:how exactly can cards be MORE complex now and require more decision making? you just slap the melee cards on melee and ranged on ranged and minor arcana until you get that big CD thingy You didn't really have any decisions to make originally. It was either RR spire/ewer, and play a balance/spear/arrow, or do something wrong. Maybe an extended balance or a bole in 4 mans, but 99% of the time that was it. Just mash that on cooldown. Maybe the stars align and you get your AoE Bole right before a potential raid wipe AoE, but you probably just have a spire waiting for you. I'm spending more time now matching or holding the proper cards for people close to or using their own CDs, buffing people before they re-DoT, debating burning redraws or early Minor Arcanas if I get an unfavourable seal or even prioritizing things when a Sleeve Draw comes up. When a trick window opens, and I have Sleeve Draw for 4 cards on deck, do I balance the priority melee first, or do I expect a duplicate seal coming that I can RR into a better card for him? Is it even worth carding second place during trick, or should I save it for the BLM after his first card expires? And so on.

The Burn's great, and I think a reason for that is even when you outgear the place, the last boss can still gently caress a party up.

Nessus posted:I'm still trying to internalize which cards go on melee/tank and which go on ranged/healer The old good cards go on melee, the old bad cards go on ranged. That's what I do. There is an indicator on the gauge too. Can't look it up right now obviously, but I think there's a yellow icon beside melee cards, and a blue beside ranged.

Albu-quirky Guy posted:Speaking of Stormblood, my wife is stuck on the Lakshmi solo fight and she just can't seem to figure out how to kill all the stupid tempering balls. I've tried to get her past that into the actual fight part but she mains Bard and I haven't even touched it yet so I don't know what any of her buttons do (and the one time she made it to the fight herself she lost to the tempering balls during the fight part). Short of just buying the Stormblood MSQ skip, does anyone have any advice for her other beyond "git gud"? I can't actually remember that trial very well, but as with most trials, if 'git gud' isn't an option, getting gear is. Just grab a few 390 poetics upgrades and just ilvl through the encounter.

Countblanc posted:Standard Finish buffs from 2+ dancers don't stack, right? I was in a trial last night where two dancers both made the SAM their partner instead of giving it to the other dps and that felt like a waste to me unless they knew something I didn't. I think it's like dragonsight. It will proc their own buff, but the target will only have the effect of one. The first few dancers I grouped with in ShB didn't even have a dance partner. Amazing display so far.

Has anyone else noticed tanks pulling like weirdos? Most of my runs have been the tank will run up to a group, combo for 3 or 4 gcds, then abruptly run off to collect another.

Vermain posted:Yes, and it's loving infuriating. I seriously cannot wrap my head around what logic's driving them to do it, but it's making me grind my teeth every time I pop Presence + Thin Air and have half of their durations wasted because the lizard part of the tank's brain suddenly snapped on. Either pull everything or don't, dude! gently caress!!! Just had a run where tank grabbed a group, and stayed with it for a bit. Dropped star, ninja dropped doton, and summoner dropped their garuda thing. Tank just sprinted off afterwards. CeallaSo posted:I've had more dungeons than not where the tank decided to wall pull everything. Like, this is brand new content dude, chill out. I don't mind the wall to walls. Only a couple hairy pulls right now unless the tank is wearing cardboard. It's just that they end up pulling wall to wall but don't commit after the first group and a bunch of cds are used.

Blueberry Pancakes posted:Regarding a post-credits scene, I have a theory about how things in Garlemald are going to go down. Post-MSQ spoiler Garleans have no capability to manipulate aether, so being able to summon a primal would be surprising. I think it's more a way to remove Garlemald from the world-ending threat, with Zenos back on the hunt and an Elidibus squad being formed.

Almost every mechanic is also introduced in a failure-proof setting, so you can see what it does without wiping. It only later during the fight starts combining mechanics to be dangerous.
