MechaX posted:So I got up to 72 with Sage and did a few low level dungeons and a few Holminster Switch runs. I... think I like this class, but I also feel like I have a lot to learn about it. It's not 2 GCDs. Setting up the gate is a mudra style button with a 1 second GCD to follow and since the Eukrasian spells are all instant cast it's actually the same amount of time. Hell depending on how little you're prioritizing Sp. Speed it might be faster. It's just two inputs over one. I guess technically it's 2 GCDs but it's not actually as long as 2 GCDs at all and you have so much OGCD buttons to mash it being essentially 1 second longer GCD isn't really felt at all. ImpAtom posted:Sage doesn't have as much in the way of instant make HP go up tons but it has so many high power shield options that you can afford to be a little slower because the enemy has to slowly chunk through what you do throw on which means your absurdly powerful HoTs or insta-heals or even your lame-rear end standard heal can do work, and of course any DPSing you do contributes as well. It's core class feature and meter is all about spending for 3 short cd OGCDs that make HP go big up what are you talking about? It's got more instant HP go Up than it does shields.

They took all the dots from SMN so they can put them on Greenmage who will have small debuffs and dots.acumen posted:I wouldn't mind if they instead just smoothed out the skill acquisition (aoe at 45? come on) or cleaned up the 1-50 stretch/tutorial instead. Things die so fast from single target poo poo in the ARR level poo poo even with the stat crunch. Giving you aoe earlier would make getting them in roulette even more brain dead.

CJ posted:I don't like this narrative that they have to stop selling the game because it's just so popular, when it's more that their login server is so badly coded that it has to throttle logins and randomly resets your connection every 15 minutes. your point would make sense if the issue of literally just not having enough server space to accommodate the playerbase they already have in this new wave, let alone adding more. even if the queue system was absolutely flawless this would still be the core big issue that needs resolving. Hence the idea that it's too popular and growing faster than that can physically keep up with at the moment.

Valentin posted:for sage, what purpose does phlegma serve in your single-target rotation? i mean, phlegma balls, obviously, but the close-in instant-cast AOE doesn't have an obvious role in the rotation, but it's also definitely too much free potency to leave on the table. is it for movement? bonus damage i should just drop in whenever possible? Read the tooltip and look at the potency numbers compared to Dosis.

Thundarr posted:It would be nice if Phlegma had a longer range, but at least that's one way to encourage healers to get up close rather than standing out in Kansas. It's because your base aoe is untargetted centered on you so you can dos while targeting your tank to watch to levels. Phlegma being close range just makes it run smoother.

Valentin posted:I don't see how this follows? Phlegma would run fit equally well in the AOE rotation if it were doable at a distance, too, it just wouldn't mean you also have to run up as part of the single target. Except you already have a button to instantly teleport to an enemy or your tank so dpsing on the run in is pointless. It is then Better to encourage you to get in and stay in as your aoe spell wants you to be then to not so thats why it's 1 yard longer range than your aoe spell.

You don't fly faster in ARR zones it's just that ARR are tiny tiny little hallways that were designed for the normal run speed and not the massive open air nightmare fields laters zones are so it feels faster. Seriously I think you can fit all the La Noscea maps into the Sea of Clouds zone.

Kyrosiris posted:Studium quests are fine but god don't waste leves on gathering when you could use those for crafters when collectables are just as fast and give something useful (scrip). Collectables are only just as fast around level 86-87 when you have enough to do an actual run around the world instead of waiting for the 1-2 you have available. It takes like 3 leves/level to get over the humps the studium quests leave you in. It's fine to use them for gathering.

Endorph posted:that speech isn't really directed at the WoL, it's directed at you the player. the game's talking to you at the end of the story. and i think 'you enjoyed the video game' is a pretty reasonable thing to mandate you to feel hundreds of hours and a decade in. Yeah like 3 different people ask you the player this specifically to hammer this bit home. It's a little self congratulatory but you get it frok m 3 different directions and world views. Venat asks you about if you enjoyed the world the travel the people. Zenos asks if you found validation I'm the trials the challenge the constant struggle to achieve and grow from adversery.

Arist posted:I really don't understand the argument that Alliance Duty Roulette's rewards are too low to make non-Crystal Tower raids worth it. The SB and SB raids are just longer already and then the fights are still pubby slayers ao it goes on even longer and yet still gets the same rewards as the significantly shorter and easier CT series. It's not worth the stress to do the rest and since the while point of the roulette is to bribe more experienced players with rewards to redo content over and over that's a failure on the roulette.

multijoe posted:I've just cracked open Astro after clearing the campaign on Gunbreaker and am I missing something or is there no way to guarantee three seal hands now Sleeve Draw is gone? Which is turn makes getting the juicy PoM tier of Astrodyne pure RNG? Why would they do this, has our job not suffered enough? There's no way to but it's almost impossible to not get at least 2 so you get the recast speed and mana regen every 3 draws which means mp is never an issue and you still get a boost to DPS by just casting faster and more. It's still gotta have some RNG element to it, that's part of the whole class fantasy.

multijoe posted:It's class theme is manipulating fate though and sleeve draw was you literally stacking the deck to get your prefered outcome, I don't know how it works out from high-level raiding perspective but not being able to do your best combo because they reintroduced RNG you previously had a way to mitigate feels rough No it's not. The entire point of sleeve draw was that it's the one thing that was just you saying 'gently caress it!' and cheating fate instead of playing along with it. It's why it was the capstone long cooldown ability added an entire expac after the class came out. The class has always had an RNG aspect and now it's where on average you're doing fine with the low chance to get something bad and the low chance to do better than average. If it was about just always being about manipulating fate it wouldn't have the RNG you'd just get the biggest possible buff constantly. Shadowbringers was thee outlier but that's because the buff you got for getting the best combo was...kind of dogshit (3 min cd for a 6% damage buff originally) and getting an even worse version sucked even harder because the ShB version of cards was incredibly bad. Your biggest utility is now guaranteed now and the personal buff is much much better on average and bad rolls compared to the old one so the RNG got less guaranteed.

Axel Serenity posted:SGE at 90 is incredibly fun but, yeah, wall pulling is definitely not a good look at how it handles in "serious" raiding environments. SGE is perfectly fine wall to wall IF your tank knows what a loving Cooldown is and not to just slap all of them on all at once. I've had runs with GNB where I never had to GCD heal them in pulls and runs where I was stuck down to Diagnosis spam because they just wouldn't stop taking damage.

Also tank are afraid to press their immunity buttons in pulls for some reason. As a GNB player I mean this as honestly and helpfully as possible. DOn't be afraid to shoot yourself in a wall to wall if you're low.

Vermain posted:The fact that SGE's initial leveling dungeon range is 71-79 will end up leaving new healers with a sour taste in their mouth. Even for experienced healers, it can be a truly nightmare experience because of how difficult certain pulls are, especially when neither you nor the tank are downscaled for that dungeon's range. 80+ is mostly smooth sailing, since you have access to both Panhaima and Haima and can alternate between the two on large pulls. The Sacred soil equivalent needs to have the regen at a much lower level. Or makes physis lower level. Either one would make that 60 to 80 range less stressful.
