Endwalker cutscene question just before going to the 6th zone (really *just* before, don't get into the slow wind-up and figure you've seen enough): all the beast tribes show up to help except the Namazu. Doesn't change based on quest progression, do they not count for some reason? I haven't done their quests, but I assumed the Big One was a primal even if we never fought the guy.

Flavahbeast posted:how are people liking DRG in 6.0? Mine is getting dumpstered by SMNs in the 81-90 dungeons but I dont know how much of that is the class and how much is just me being bad at drg I like it, but I haven't been doing comparisons. Only 89 currently so I don't have Double Dragoon to add to things, until then it's just more of the same with some quality of life bumps smoothed over.

Me theorycrafting level 90 bard: "okay this is basicly the same as 80, just hit this one extra button and I can stack this oGCD if the cooldown reduction procs a lot." Me playing level 90 Bard in a dungeon for the first time: "oh crap now I hit this and this and this button just came off cooldown and keep that GCD rolling and wait this is something weird THE BOSS IS DOING SOMETHING WEIRD!" I was not nearly as prepared as I thought, I have to recalibrate all my instinctive timers.

This is my first time actually worrying about pentamelded crafter gear. Is there an obvious stat to prioritize, or is it such a mess of conditionals that if I value my sanity "whatever big materia you've got that don't overflow" is the way to go? I know that I can do X/VIII until the first overmeld (so for example if there's two slots I can put three in there) and then IX for the rest.

Loaded up nuSummoner, I think I've got the buttons sorted out (after figuring out that if a spell still exists but cannot be assigned to a hotbar, it won't take it OFF your hotbar), but I have one question: Physick has a potency of 400 and heals for ~550. Rekindle has a potency of 400 and heals for ~12000. Are they operating under different rules or am I missing something?

Ibblebibble posted:You can't, wait only takes integers. You really shouldn't macro combat abilities outside of a couple of exceptions anyway. Let's see... I have one button to set a focus target (just so that I can put it on my bar and remember, shift-F works fine otherwise, use it before combat) and another to Eyes my focus target. Nascent Flash can be macroed to always hit slot 2 (or wherever you keep your other tank). Rekindle targeting the tank might be useful for Summoner. That's all I can think of for the jobs I play. Definitely something I try to keep to a single active command, for example for Dragoon you can do something fancy like "focus enemy, target nearest player, Eyes them, retarget focused enemy" to guarantee that you're getting someone who isn't out in left field, but I found it misfired half the time and had to be reclicked to go off.

isk posted:Re: Spicy Alliance raids of late - we're in that weird area immediately after Early Access where the kind/skilled/grateful EA players are no longer the norm. They're still around, but the irony-poisoned edgelords started creeping in after the official expansion launch. Like, my morning's LotA run had an Alliance that almost wiped on Atomos by blinking their pads just enough to interrupt everyone's DPS while saying they were the only folks who mattered, then wiped on Phlegethon by staying in for the first Ancient Flare while saying they don't make mistakes. It's so unoriginal and unnecessary I did an 89 trial today where I was the only non-new person (helping a guildy) and didn't remember enough to help. One heal left after three attempts. The replacement stopped fighting halfway through and just complained that people kept getting hit by mechanics until we kicked them. Last person, we won. It's a week in with a group full of newbies, don't complain that they're new! It was fun to watch though, because everyone kept doing better each attempt. Some folks get to phase 2... most folks get to phase 2... everyone makes it to phase 2 and we finish that... It was lovely.

central dogma posted:Any favorite artifact gear? I've gotten the RDM and SMN so far. The former is good except for the shorts, which is an odd fashion direction unless I'm missing some cultural derivation. The rapier is beautiful though.The SMN armor looks nice, easy to dye, and has wings and a head dong Usually I hate broad-brimmed hats in cutscenes, but the bard one often just left my character's nose and smile so I knew what glam I gad to go for. It's a shame Bard doesn't get the Nier raid trenchcoat.

A quality of life thing I didn't think of that comes from divorcing songs and dots? It just keeps ticking. Kill a guy, go back roaming the overworld, and by the time you fight again Apex Arrow is gonna be charged up and ready.

Tabletops posted:my summoner seems to have lost half her buttons, i'm only 67 though. does the class work at this level? I'm not even sure how to play it anymore with all that poo poo gone So here's what I've got:  Green: Bahamut/Phoenix. 0 summons them (and lights up the primals), - is a VERY strong one-time oGCD, 8 is summon-specific (Bahamut is damage, Phoenix is heal, the primals will get an ability here too at 86), they will turn Ruin into an instant-cast stronger version for 15 seconds. Red: single-target attacks. 1 is Ruin, your time-filler GCD, 2 is the special version of that which popping a Primal gives you (wind is fast and instant, earth is instant but normal cooldown, fire is slow cast time but hard hitting), 3 is the oGCD unlocked by 4, and 5 is a strong GCD unlocked by 4. Yellow: AoE versions of red. That's it, nothing else. Act the same, share resources, everything. Blue: your primals. Unlocked by hitting Bahamut/Phoenix. Some small nuances in each one's type of AoE but basicly during the downtime between the big summons you hit a primal, use their specific attack until the charges run out, hit the next primal and repeat. Pink: debuffs/buffs. 1 reduces enemy damage, 2 is a self shield, 3 is a 30s damage buff to the party. 2 and 3 can only be used by Carbunkle, so unavailable when in a Bahamut/Phoenix phase or for a few seconds after hitting a Primal, they transform back to Carby after their summon attack (don't need to spend all charges). So basically your flow is to summon Bahamut/Phoenix (at lower levels this gets replaced by a button that powers Carbunkle up in a similar way to unlock the gems), hit their Ruin/Tri-disaster until the buff wears off, hit primals, and then Bahamut/Phoenix will be back up soon sop you can do a few slowcasts or hit energy drain for a Ruin IV in there. At lower levels the rotation stays the same. There's a lot more abilities to try and parse but everything gets replaced by something else as you level up so once you get it all sorted there's no need to shuffle when you downlevel.

MechaX posted:I feel like with no real way the queues are getting better, but only worse, and I would like to at least be able to play this after work to unwind, I feel like I should just be starting on a tank just for the quick duty queues at this point. DPS wait times are still rather rough. One person new to their warrior at 80 was trying to figure it out, I told him that Raw Intuition is great and on a very short timer so it's easy to hit without worrying about saving it. "I see that but it's only 6 seconds." Dude. It's 6 seconds where you can AoE yourself to invincibility. That thing saves my rear end so many times.

Begemot posted:They just do a shitload of damage. It's 1300 potency for Akh Morn/Revelation now, when it used to be 600, because you only get one cast each time you summon them instead of two. Enters Dreadwyrm Trance and summons Demi-Bahamut to fight your target. Demi-Bahamut will execute Wyrmwave automatically on the targets attacked by you after summoning. Increases enmity in target when Demi-Bahamut is summoned. Duration: 15s Edit: I think I got it, logging back in to test. Edit2: Yup, the added enmity is so that summoning Bahamut/Phoenix acts as a tag, since it does no damage on first cast. Bruceski fucked around with this message at 06:17 on Dec 16, 2021 |

Onean posted:As for the cost of a gatherer leve vs. a crafter one, I don't think the crafter ones are worth that much more for leveling. Making and turning in the level 81 collectable craft gives a ton of XP, so it's not like you're missing out by doing that instead of leves. Basicly comes down to what's obtainable. Collectables are ~1.5mil each (depending on level) and give scrip, HQ leves are 3-4mil total. If you fins a collectable you can easily get the mats for and craft good enough it'll be easier, same if a leve tier is particularly friendly.
