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 the buff rotation being simplified to 2 minutes instead of the whack 5 minute timer it had in shadowbringers. Other than that it's mostly the same except that if you time all your skills right you can dump insane amounts of aoe damage in a very short duration now

Onean posted:Do we know anything about the Tribe quests yet? Is there any chance the Loporrit's will be related to the (lvl 90 EX dungeon)Last Dregs, the cafe representing hope that sits where hope was nearly lost? I want it to be. Or, maybe the Omicron will be a secret third tribe and they can do it. Omicron is like without a doubt considering the end of the stigma dreamscape dungeon quest. loporrit seems like a shoe in for crafter beast tribe, so the other would probably be dragons or ea

SirPhoebos posted:The Zenos storyline is why I brought up the question of "do you see the WoL as their own character". Because while I liked Zenos, I could never envision my WoL liking him. I also have a habit of filling in interpersonal dialogue to liven up all the head nods. And pretty much every meeting with Zenos starting with the Menagerie had my WoL getting more and more irrate as she basically had the same reaction that all the Zenos detractors had. One reason I love the choices for your answer to Zenos is that it's one of the few places in the game that allows a true divergence in interpretation of the WoL's character. For most of the game, this expansion and all previous expansions included, the things the WoL can say always have to fit the hero's role. You can be light hearted, or sentimental, or serious, but you're always the person who saves the day, and inspires everyone else while doing so. In the last scene with Zenos, the day is already saved, and there's no one else around with expectations for how you should behave. This was the one, best, shot at establishing some darker motivations for the WoL, and I'm so glad the writing team was willing to offer an unrepentantly unheroic option for it my interpretation of my WoL is that she absolutely is a Zenos, just one that figured out that becoming a steward of the weak would have all the most powerful gods and tyrants of the world lining up to fight her

i found party finder savage raiding to be extremely slow, at least back in eden. the people who have finished fights will use the [Duty Complete] tag, so your only hope will be slogging through practice groups that may not have seen anything of the fights in question

i think it would be appropriate to scale up the health on the labyrinth / syrcus / void ark bosses to bring them back in line with what they were like on launch, and bring clear times up to around the level of the other raids. that would make those raids more fun to play and remove the incentive for ilevel abuse. i wouldn't mind alliance roulette taking longer on average, since there was always a chance it would be one of the longer raids anyway it's only a distant memory now, but bosses like glasya labolas were really fun on release when there were mechanics to them

dark's the only tank class i've played and it kicks rear end. it's probably a lot more annoying if you only play it casually, since you can gently caress up mana usage and be unable to cast TBN when you need to. but once you've practiced it it's pretty great

Coeurl Marx posted:So I've been kind of thinking that savage raiding is something I'd like to finally try out in endwalker, and my best friend might be interested in joining me. Pugging through party finder sounds like it'd be an absolutely miserable experience though, how does one go about finding a static (that isn't filled with shitheads)? I know I've seen people looking for them in party finder, and I saw a subreddit dedicated to it, but I figured I'd ask how you all would recommend going about it. I'm sure the fact that I'm in love with playing reaper will really not be doing me any favors. i found my current static in party finder, and i love them. i also found my previous static in party finder, and i hate them. so 50/50 success rate there my actual recommendation would be to cast a wide net when you start looking in earnest. Most statics will have a night to try you out and introduce you to the group, and it's okay to decide not to go forward with a group if you find them grating or unpleasant in that time. so party finder, reddit, random FC shouts in limsa or radz at han, I doubt any of them is going to be particularly better or worse for finding other players, you just have to bite the bullet and have standards for whatever group you do end up joining

Badger of Basra posted:for AOE, is it always a DPS gain to use Toxikon 2 over Dyskrasia 2? toxikon 2 is 300 for the first target, 150 for each subsequent target. 150 is less than dyskrasia 2's 160, so toxikon 2 will do less damage against packs of more than... 15 creatures hit at once. so for all intents and purposes, yes it's always a dps gain, but it's a larger dps gain against smaller packs

cat beard posted:After having played dps for multiple savage tiers I'd always thought tanks were hard to come by (I certainly remember waiting on them for ages when my old static was missing one) but now that I play tank with my buddy co-tanking it seems like I'm swimming in tanks. Fun experience regardless, I definitely feel like I'm paying more attention to fight mechanics than I did as dps because I'd only really think about ones directly affecting me/ones I needed to mitigate. i've done one lockout of P3S in party finder and it wasn't bad at all. Made it past the add phase a few times and got to practice some mechanics my static hasn't reached yet. I don't go into savage PF groups expecting more than practice though, the overall dps is invariably too poo poo to make it past enrage even if mechanics are on point

Paladin is the tank I leveled first but I need those weapons and the mount. i soloed it on dragoon with a little bit of bloodbath/second wind management. as long as you burn the spinneret that buffs damage of the other one before it uses tankbuster there's very little risk it's probably safer than trying on tank too since you skip way more mechanics
