Arist posted:I had the bad luck of being the very last post in the other thread, so I'm just going to repost it here: As for fishing for seals, getting a proper card onto a proper dps will give your party a better damage increase than getting that 5% bonus for yourself on Astrodyne. I haven't noticed anything about in-combat timing. As soon as my DoT connects, I can card and get seals. One thing I haven't seen brought up yet about Macrocosmos, as that the heal from Microcosmos is instant. Like, you press the button and the HP is there. No waiting for animation or travel, just boom +hp.

Vermain posted:It seems like they've updated the tick rates for certain actions, though not for all of them. I haven't tried it yet, but I'm told that SCH shields apply near-instantly now, and Eukrasian Dosis has none of the usual lag time of healer DoTs; you hit the button and it's on the guy. Seems like it. Did a quick test on SCH and the shield even applies before the HP, if the UI is to be believed. Similarly with Celestial Intersection.

Here are a couple random thoughts I have as a healer: I'm not going to see your raise macro because I'm swiftcasting raise on them at the same time. I'm not going to see your living dead macro because I'm looking at the HP bars/status ailments and I can see your living dead buff. I actually just generally don't look at party chat much of the time anyways. Judging by how people respond or react to party chat mid combat, I'm not alone here. Also, I don't know if it's wildly known yet, but if someone is slowcasting a spell at a target, be it a raise or damage spell, it shows their target number / letter beside the cast bar in the party status window. Here's an example from the patch notes:  At least this way you can prevent two people from casting on the same target.

Vitamean posted:your cohealer opts to use the exact same macro after 2+ people die. the person they raised first hasn't accepted their raise yet. you hit this macro. Same thing happens when they both swiftcast raise someone. Bigger issue is: Arist posted:Also, what if you need to rez a red mage first, who will typically appear near the very end of the party list? There's priority in raises. But I don't imagine they're doing anything difficult so whatever.

queeb posted:I'm out healing the healers I get in roulettes as warrior. Primal rend is amazing, bloodwhetting is the best button ever and yeah, I'm having an amazing time tanking on war This isn't even an exaggeration. I power levelled Sage with my friend who was levelling Warrior, and for a lot of pulls I'd get by with a single Taurochole. Bloodwhetting was just them being at full hp for 6 seconds, and Thrill / Equillibrium would cover what my Kardia heals wouldn't. A couple of the bigger pulls would take a modicum of effort, but I'd rarely have to dip into my toolkit for them.

Annath posted:I don't think I unlocked any of the Alliance Raids other than the Crystal Tower ones needed to progress the MSQ... I'll have to look up how to get them. Bozja is a special zone, an iteration of Eureka, that works like this: You're synced to level 80, abilities and gear. Character progression is based off your Mettle level, which you earn while in the zone. Grinding mobs helps spawn fates. Doing this fates spawns Critical Engagements, which are bosses that get cordoned off in the zone, that you queue for while in the zone with 24/48 other people. Certain engagements can also spawn solo duels, which you are allowed to queue for if you complete the critical engagement without failing any mechanic. They're hard fights that require good mechanics and preparation. You get unique potions called essences which can provide huge stat boots or alter your characters normal abilities, like one that decreases healing output but ramps up damage dealt. There are also special abilities you can find that get equipped onto your duty action bar, that range from minor utility to incredibly powerful.

Actually got around to getting my second extreme trial clear last night. Probably the quickest two trials I've done, totalling 3 lockouts for the two first-clears. Wild fights though, had a good time learning them. If anyone is new or hasn't wanted to get into the "hard" difficulty stuff, I'd say now is the time to try. There are a couple rough spots in both fights, but the first is extremely generous with deaths, and the second can play almost entirely just following the leader for the harder mechanics.

Kazy posted:I like the Cryptlurker ones in theory and as their own thing, but they feel a bit too non-tech. I like the high-tech look of the AF ones. Also I like how the Wings are while sheathed, the Pendulum and Milpreve types don't look as cool on my back imo. My Sage glamour looks pretty rough so I like the dirty, wrapped up look of the Cryptlurkers. I think it's cool how there are at least three styles of sheathed nouliths. Some line up, like ////, some cross like wings, //\\, and some make an X or clover shape.

DeathSandwich posted:Speaking of, how are people liking sage now that they've had time with it? My first 90 was SUM, but I cannot ever get SCH to work for me as a healer and I'm looking to level either my 80 WHM or sage. Sge seems interesting from the handful of Dungeons I've done, but I'm not as intricately familiar with it as I am whm so I don't really know one way or the other. I've been maining Astro since 3.0, and with both at 90, Sage is making me rethink that. It might just be the new job experience, but they feel like a very streamlined, well thought out job. They're extremely oGCD based, and their shields are instant casts, so they facilitate even more movement and quicker responses than Scholar. And to be perfectly frank, having a gap closer on a healer is so fun.

There's no balance to upset if they added another regen or shield healer. It literally wouldn't matter if there was 3 choices for one slot, and 2 for the other. That's like saying they can't add a caster, because it would unbalance them against phys ranged.

Yeah, a time caster in a pointy hat that shoots stars would step on astrologian's aesthetic a bit much. A melee bruiser with a big hammer and time-altering effects could be cool.

1000 people an hour seems like a pretty decent queue speed for me the past week. Haven't had any network or stability issues until yesterday though. Was getting huge lag spikes every 30 seconds or so that persisted for a good half hour before I just gave in to a restart, and then had a directx11 crash. The previous couple weeks have been otherwise rock solid.

Onean posted:Aside from Elidibus's robes, It's from Emet-Selch, when Venat first shows up. I think Elidibus explains his white robes way back in ARR when he and the WoL first talk, though I can't double check right now. White robes are for those who are proven impartial and trustworthy, or something like that. They didn't directly link to a seat, present of otherwise. SirSamVimes posted:That's not a mystery, it's basically stated. He has a white robe, refers to being part of the convocation and in the teaser he even had Elidibus' voice. He's not part of the convocation. He said he works with an organization that works with the convocation. Teaser voice was still 100% our Elidibus though so he's either lying or will take the seat eventually.

Mordiceius posted:It’s not that you “don’t enjoy hard content.” It’s that you “don’t want to have to do any content that requires any thought at all.” As much as I disagree with almost everything Cythereal says, hard content is a very subjective term. Any number of things can be at play here, ranging from motor control, reflexes, attention, concentration, memory, multitasking, timing, anxiety, or even lazyness or apathy. I know plenty of people who struggle with story-level content at min ilevel, and I know they're trying. I'm not going to begrudge anyone for that. ADR queue manipulation is still bullshit though.
