tam-tara had its map streamlined a bit but no mechanical changes iirc; it was and remains baby's second dungeon. copperbell actually did have the first two bosses completely reworked but more because they were awful and boring than because of any complexity that the npc ai couldn't handle (tho the second one was weird)

i think when people usually talk about "bad" job quests it's things like the early archer stuff or cleansing the taint or parts of samurai's story which really just boil down to rubbing some people the wrong way with how they're presented or how the issues shown are (not) resolved i have never seen anyone defend the pld quests. they're bad.

Dareon posted:I only just started even using macros at all. I have one that's just showing off, draw > bstance > vpose > sheathe, and I recently used Teamcraft to set up a crafting macro when I was making several dozen Skybuilders' crafts. Which feels a little like cheating, but it's entirely within the tools of the game and besides is exactly the way crafting should work, in my opinion. I've proven I can make the minigame do what I want, I shouldn't need to have to do all the work every time. crafting is the one big legitimate/non-problematic use of macros outside of utility functions like changing jobs and ui layouts and whatnot

heck, depending on the boss and how good the dps are you can do it with drk too. tbn basically negates a raidwide or targeted aoe which is really nice on the squishier dps (hope that blm is actually doing damage) nu living dead basically gives you an invuln + heal to full too, if you get the timing right Oneiros fucked around with this message at 08:53 on Feb 16, 2023 |

on the more passive income end of things daily roulettes/in-need bonuses can really add up over time. i also keep my retainers on quick ventures which occasionally bring back rare dyes and glams that go for hundreds of thousands of gil a pop. junk gear gets turned into gc seals which are in turn converted into more ventures, repair mats, and lootboxes which can (very rarely) also drop a small fortune in your lap in the form of rare minions and mounts

It's only ever been " You can big pull, don't worry, I've got you" - if they say anything at all it's because with some tanks their response to "you can big pull, don't worry" isn't "oh, i'm new on this job and don't really feel comfortable with big pulls yet" or "i'm undergeared because i'm just trying to make it to the next set of tome gear" but rather "i'm only single-targeting mobs at level 80 because that's my preferred play style you don't pay my sub"

honestly you can do a little dance and get off two gcds to get solid agro on a pack before dashing off to the next just fine. you aren't gonna die from a few autos from a single pack and as long as you have sprint up you aren't gonna take excessive damage on the run. that being said, no one is gonna die if they take agro on a couple mobs during the run between packs. one aoe gcd is fine, throw out some ranged attacks and/or provoke during the run if you wanna grab it back also, if you're running with a melee you know, have them pull slightly ahead on the first pack of a pull (note: ahead, not extra) with arm's length up and all the mobs will collapse into a tight pack for you to catch them in your aoe and you get free mitigation. if they use bloodbath the healer doesn't even need to pay them any extra attention. if they're a samurai they get free kenki without even having to stand in piss puddles Oneiros fucked around with this message at 08:13 on Jul 3, 2023 |

i actually really like it when tanks face the boss at 10:30 or 01:30 if there isn't some mechanic that'll punish you for it. i think i first noticed a tank doing it in p3s and it was really nice because it let the melees stay tightly stacked with everyone else and avoid tethers being off in weird places and made baiting the big fireballs really comfy

their fight design language is pretty drat tight, especially after the recent work to back-port markers to older content where things used to be more... experimental? in normal msq content, especially, you eventually build up a pretty good understanding of what they want you to do and they usually give you enough time for pure reaction play. sometimes they throw in pure 50/50 coinflip and gotcha mechanics but they usually don't kill you outright if you guess wrong. with late shb and going in ew the big thing is that they start getting more comfortable throwing combo mechanics at you and using boss/environment tells instead of telegraphing everything thru the castbar name or piss puddles Oneiros fucked around with this message at 12:05 on Jul 14, 2023 |

yeah, the bigger problem is that every dps other than rdm and, uh, monk? feel like fifty levels stretched out to ninety with the terrible downsync experience that implies instead of the other way round even rdm feels pretty lacking not getting a proper finisher till, what, seventy?!

i think you actually get the first one a little bit earlier because i remember how awkward it was for a few levels  i do like the finishers and rdm does feel lacking synced down under them, imo (tho losing part of your melee combo feels ten thousand times worse) but i don't mind playing it synced down to 50 near as much as some other jobs

it sounds like you were trying to use a dispeller on the plate itself (i think that's an option? i don't think i've ever actually done it) and that will wipe the plate clean and any dyes you applied on the plate itself. only dyes that were applied before putting a piece of gear in the dresser or on gear in the dresser itself (not an individual plate, just the dresser) will persist and be applied with that piece of gear by default when added to any other plates. there is no way to take a plate "off"; when you apply one it applies all the contained glamours to the gear you are wearing individually. you can either glamour the gear again, either individually or with another plate, or you can dispel each piece of gear you are wearing to get back to its base appearance

yeah, there's an enormous range on the performance scale covered by "adequately". the latest ex trial i had clear pulls with a dozen+ deaths that still never got close to seeing enrage mechanics will turbo murder you if you gently caress up and often trigger a cascade of deaths due to bodies missing for the next mechanic (at least with the modern encounter design's love of body checks) but the actual expectations of button pushing ability, both dps and party mitigation, are still pretty low

someone hasn't seen the light of a zoe boosted pneuma funny thing is that at higher levels sage really doesn't shield a lot, at least below savage level content (and even then less than you'd think). you've got mits and regens and instant spot heals pouring out of every orifice, often on the same button. sure, (pan)haima do work but they're on a 2m timer.
