Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward

What are you guys doing with the week or so that remains until everyone's progress is thrown out the window? I'm trying to meet the minimum iLv for the next EX fight:

>grinding out an Aetherpool weapon for my main, since I'm still using a shitty i210 welfare weapon
>every single silver chest in the floor 41-50 stretch is either trapped or a mimic
Kill me.
4 runs in, and I'm at +30 weapon/+24 armor. That said, at least it's good for Esoterics/Lore farming. PotD sucks but I'd rather kill myself than run Expert Roulette again. i235 is said to be the minimum to attempt Sophia EX.

Expert Roulette takes like 12 minutes.

Waiting patiently to see the endless tears once people on Balmung can't get their rape-dungeons because not only are apartments limited, but you can buy an apartment even if you already own a personal home.

>12 minutes

Since when? They gate everything so hard you can't even AoE things down proper anymore.

Get better DPS.

>muh ecelebs

No I'm pretty sure you're just not timing things proper. Even with both DPS/Healer/tank pulling 1700/1400/900+ DPS respectively it's never been close to 12m.

>not having a 240 lore weapon
How the fuck can you be this bad. They even uncapped the gears from a8. You could literally get it in an afternoon if you've been buying tokens each week like you should have been.
>there are people with mains that aren't at least ilvl 239 this late into the game

Okay maybe 15. Either way it's quick and easy for either dungeon if you have a competent group

...

Considering if I should quit or not.

I dont really wanna raid on anything other than my main and it looks like SCH is gonna become the new AST on the next patch.

15 is more like it, yeah.

Fuck you.

Lore is still capped, friend.

Eww.

Trying to get those racist Japs to stop appropriating Native American culture.

You were really making a stink about 3 whole minutes? Holy shit talk avout autistic. No wonder you're so incompetent.

new weapons look pretty slick, but they don't really match the armor

Christ. I thought endgame gear should look good to animate people to get it. This is just abysmal.

Especially tank gear.

Been getting dork knight to 60. Planning to save my Lore to help gear it up post patch since I figure they'll slash the prices on the current tier.

Hey, 3 minutes is 25% of a dungeon run according to some people.

Literally me

>12 mins
Uh... more like 15 mins pal

Patiently waiting for 3.4, got nothing to do right now. Sucks the new POTD floors are gonna be released 5 weeks after 3.4.

It will take you less time to get a 240 weapon.

Get your 230 weapon
(Alex 8 4 times over and over to get 4 gears no cap on these. Get 1000 lore for the tokens)

Once done just do the void ark and weeping city to get the tokens at the end.
Trade in for some Illuminati deep gobdip

Upgrade to 240.

>AST getting "huge barrier and card buffs" on 3.4

Who's excited for 20% balances, boles and arrows?

Why do you people not realise that Lore is still a limiting factor?

You say "get 1000 lore" but that takes 3 weeks minimum.

B-but it's from normal! Savage gear looks better because even though it's the same you can dye it!

>it looks like garbage dyed anyway since it's only designed to look good with the default normal mode color

Thanks based Yoshi savior of Final Fantasy

find it funny and sad that astro is still a shit healer and gets buffs and fixes every patch.

You should really already have your 230 weapon by now.

There is literally no excuse.

It's been months.

90 apartments per district/subdivision

24 of those

3 cities

even balmung would have issues filling up 6480 apartments

the majority of the RP alts that want rape dungeons haven't even left uldah, and you need to be 50, be a 2nd LT and have 500k gil

Awesome maybe I can grab a couple of apartments in that case.

Yeah, it's been months.
Of nothing.
The game should try to be less shitty if it wants me to spend more time playing it.

>Using a different visual aesthetic is offending someone

Stay mad like Ethys, it just makes it funnier.

Dragon Quest 7

If the next buff is as big they imply, it will kill SCH completely. They will have on demand deployment tactics and the cards potency is getting boosted further.

Waifu army soon

>will kill SCH completely
Not in your wildest dreams

God I absolutely cannot wait for the sea of SCH tear if that does happen. You just know they'll whine about how hard their job is having to micro their pet and shit too, it'll be great.

Though it's probably more likely to kill WHM than SCH.

>that one person that said something got promptly btfo

lol

did they just forget the vanu were a thing

it would kill WHM, as the raiding meta is probably still balls to the wall dps checks.

SCH and AST may not have the throughput, but its 'good enough'

>recycled dungeon/craft/tome gear

JUST
U
S
T

>no one got butthurt over the viking themed gear
>casinoman themed gear is suddenly bad

>Females will get both versions

It's just one troll pretending. No one is really offended.

No one's offended because Native Americans are too busy drinking moonshine and finding ways to avoid working which, ironically, is a full time job.

>pretending
>in the game that fostered this pastebin.com/rP45UBvt

What Viking gear?

Also kind of pathetic that one fucking post from an idiot is enough to get everyone freaking out and giving him validation with all the attention like this retard instead of just ignoring him.

Don't you have like 3 or 4 WoW generals to post in? Fuck off, squirt.

thanks for the bump

>blizzfags are already so bored of legion and overwatch that they have to come to ffxiv threads to have fun

>aspected helios barrier will literally become deployment tactics
>this will not kill SCH

May i remind you diurnal benefic/helios is still a step below WHM while nocturnal benefic/helios is already better than SCH and only getting better. Fairy regen is not as big of a deal as people make it out to be and if the card potency is also getting buffed then SCH's dps can also be easily overshadowed.

>mfw astrolgian is the worst class i have ever seen designed
I really don't get why yoshi-p can't accept that there will always be a meta no matter what he does to balance the game, its not like any one healer is absurdly overpowered over the others (till 3.4 astrologian i guess). Also the card gimmick can be easily fixed by making rng more predictable, instead of just making the cards pocket raging strikes. Ergo you draw from a deck of cards that refreshes itself rather than just drawing a random given card at all times, makes for way better planning.

I'm glad I leveled both SCH and AST now.

Not planning on resubbing in the near future though.

the wow generals actually stay on /vg/ though, unlike you turboautists

>Yoshi confirmed small PLD buffs coming as well

Oh boy I can't wait for five more potency on Shield Swipe

i want astro posters to leave

royal authority needs a 100 potency aoe tacked onto it

I sure am glad I picked WHM and don't have to worry about all this SCH/AST shitposting.

Do you still have to do all the Alex raids in order to unlock the next? Just came back a few weeks back and I'm at ilvl 210 and trying to figure how best to catch up.

I'll never do Savage because fuck trying to find a static at this point. With any luck one of my FC groups will have room once I gear up.

>blm
>dat bullshit ass-kisser interview response

Yeah the only person that's going hire him is a complete shitter.

Everybody sucks the WoL's dick in this world, though he's an Au Ra so he's off my team regardless.

Those weapons are awesome, looks like high allagan with much cleaner lines. I never liked models that look too busy with spikes and frills and shit - which is incidentally my beef with the armor.

is this game fun, should i try it

The only way whm will be viable if they throw in straight up tough as balls heal checks in the raids.

Also sch need to calm down about what their class can do. A good sch can out dps a shitter dps, sure. But that's like saying you can beat some crippled kid in special ed in a foot race.

>it used to be whm/ast shitposting

I think its fair for the more experienced healers to complain considering they've only focused on making ast as strong as the other two healers despite its premise of being a jack of all trades healer. I mean he is clearly stating that he is catering to shitter players.

>BRD/MCH """armor""" looks like shit yet again
thanks yoshi

Are people really that butthurt over there being so much female exclusive gear in the game? I don't get it, along with all the people wanting dresses for the males, I thought the faggots stayed on /vg/

WHM outdps SCH though.

no, no

the only complaint i've seen is that there is no bunny ears for male characters

>mfw astrolgian is the worst class i have ever seen designed
that can't possibly be true while DRG, PLD, and BRD are left in their current states

Only in things that don't require accuracy or MP sustainability.

WHITE MAGE BEST HEALER

Have there ever been any MNK buffs/nerfs? I didn't start playing until last summer and hit 60 in April, so I don't know if the devs care about the job at all.

>start enjoying BLM
>get to 60
>enochian kills any fun the class had

PLD is not badly designed, it's just bad
DRG is fine
BRD is horribly, horribly designed in HW but it's still strong as fuck so it's like whatever

MNK is one of the few classes that actually improves with the new 50-60 skills and mechanics. Plus they've always been an easy class.

It's more like AST picking a fight with WHM and SCH because of how useless they are. Every patch when they get a new buff they claim "SCH/WHM are becoming useless now!!!"

great, thanks

MNKs get buffs every other patch

Monk doesn't need buffs or nerfs. Monk is perfect.

Why exactly do players have this mentality of x class is bad?

Just because AST is slightly worse than WHM/SCH doesn't mean it can't replace either and still be viable, yes even in progression.

Same with PLD vs DRK, like DRK is only preferred because it has an extra cooldown reserved for magic and the current raid tier prefers that, its not like its a huge fucking advantage if you bring a drk mt over a pld mt though.

Seriously, this mentality of X class is grossly overpowered is what leads the devs to do shit like homogenize classes.

they wont stop buffing monks, even though they're great

WAR and SCH are objectively overpowered and irreplaceable though

>DRG is fine
>SkS bound
>Clips dots heavily
>Random positional requirement on two separate buttons
>Loads of worthless do-more-damage-harder OGCds

>PLD is not badly designed
>Bulwark
>Sentinel
>DPS combo has threat component making tank swaps agonizing
>95% of abilities don't even damage the enemy
>Flash

ok kid

I spy a NINposter casually leaving his class out of the triumvirate of overpowered bullshit.

More utility soon, brother.

r-right

FFXIV is a game of numbers, and since all 3 healers have different numbers, one of the three will always be worse than the others.

if all 3 are exactly the same, whats the point of having 3?

also as says, SCH has far too much utility compared to the other two healers, and warriors simply have just better versions of abilities other tanks have.

i'd rather see classes buffed to meet the OP one because its no fun to nerf player power. just give them a bigger monster to kill imo

Isn't that Ainu?

AINU NO EXIST, REDFACE OKINAWAN GO BACK HOME. AINU NO REAL.

AST is fine now but since all those shitters wouldn't stop crying on the forums, they are going to buff AST to be stronger than SCH. Good job.

there's nothing wrong with designing an ultra defensive tank that does shit damage, the problem is that damage is too fucking important in this game and there's like 3 bosses in the entire game where PLD outshines DRK

I'll give you DRG even though your only valid point is the dot clipping

Same I will revisit it because I love the class so much but I jumped to DRG and BotD is way easier to manage.

>drg
>can't jump over anything
>jumps actually make you more likely to eat a hit
>can't manually target any jumps, even hellfire dive
>backflip has like a 3 minute cooldown

NIN is nowhere near as important as WAR, let alone SCH

Eno allows Blizzard IV/Fire IV and increases damages by 5%. It also weeds out the shitters, The best 3 in 1 ability.

This is fine.

NIN is the only DPS that is mandatory. It is exactly as important as them. TA, the ability to have Slashing up on offtanked targets, strong TP regen, and enmity control are broken as fuck.

Triple melee? Has a nin.
Double Ranged? Has a nin.
Standard? Has a nin.
Double caster? Has a nin.
Monk even considered? Needs a nin to be even worth it.

I'm tired of all these WAR and SCH bandwagoners. Yes they are good designed jobs that do their role right. But it really doesn't fucking matter in this game when everything is balanced for the dumbest DF party compositions. You could beat Nidhogg Extreme with 2 PLDs, 2 ASTs, and 4 BRDs.

147/240 for my relic weapon.
Eso grinds are the worst thing ever. Though i have have gotten both Calc and Brina from it.

>Multiple AOEs appear under you mid jump and Evasive jump is on CD

>double caster has a nin
doesn't double caster have a drg to cater to the brd

>NIN
>mandatory

The best class this game ever had was the original THM.

>Maybe 5-10% of Cred Forums raids

>FC on alt always says hi
>even when I haven't touched it in months

>you evasive jump out a full second before it goes off
>get hit anyways

>250 crafted are just recolored Aery weapons
Thanks

Why the hell are you even in a FC?

...

NIN is the most sought after DPS in the game. Any serious static already has one on deck. Their trick attack and utility is way too good to pass up a slot.

so Sephirot is wild, unchecked growth of life, and Sophia is balance in all things. Does that mean Zurvan is death?

also, Libra (zodiac symbol) finally gets a waifu thats not a blind chick with a sword

Whatever happened to that giant disc that's behind her?

>those textures
>especially those textures on the right

Who in their right mind would use this in their promo material?

Playing solo like usual

>far to much utility
Nigger you no this is a frigging exaggeration. SCH isn't that far ahead in utility to AST, the only one who has shit utility is WHM and thats because it has cure 3.

The two things AST doesn't have that SCH and WHM have are an instant aoe heal and an equivalent to DT and cure 3. Lightspeed makes up for both of these things to an extent while giving them a niche the other two healers don't have.

The only thing it TRULY lacks is a regen under noct sect which it makes up for having on demand cure 2 and medica.

Eos and selene skills aren't as big of a difference as people make it out to be.
>but sch has virus
Ast gets disable, with no antibody limitation
>but sch gets sacred soil
Collective unconcious does both asylum and SS at the same time at the expense of having to sit still
>but sch gets roused whispering dawn
Ast gets synastry + diurnal helios
>but sch gets fey illumination
Synastry also buffs heal potency and can be used to either heal two people at the same time or bomb heal the tank
>but sch gets a consistent haste buff
I think the fact that its only 3% is well balanced with asts rng
>but mana mangement
If you put it into numbers, with CO, LE gives more mana than aetherflow could, unless you're some shitter that stacks pie
>but eye for an eye
Rng? Just like bole?

I mean i could kee going, but I personally think its pretty balanced in terms of utility. To put it in tldr, you could say sch has a bit more control over its utility, but its definetely not something I'd consider broken.

Yoshi is under the impression that nobody cares about texture quality. He said this outright when people started asking if Dx11 would have updated textures like was originally promised.

something something artists' interpretation of Sophia's radiance?

we also haven't seen if she transforms after her 'ultimate' which is what i presumes comes after the two adds and the leviathan platform

We are going to save her right?

Basically, but more like time and the end of entropy.

Zurvan is probably only Zurvan in name. His Japanese title means 'god with the fury of an oni'. He's probably just a crazy violent bastard with an extremely short temper.

My style of tanking is extremely aggressive which leads to high damage output while I still retain all of my tanking capabilities. This is achieved by min-maxing stats, learning job synergies, and understanding how to mitigate every tankbuster appropriately. This is a playstyle I have grown accustomed to, which basically means that if you suck shit and your playstyle is garbage then my methods will not be effective at all.

Oh yeah, look forward to Fanfest.

And all of it is trash.

SE needs to figure out a better solution for transferring servers. Hyperion is dead and all my friends are either transferring or quitting because they don't want to transfer and lose personal houses and fc houses.

I really doubt I'm going to play much longer if this shit keeps up.

How good is DRK?

You pay $18 to transfer to a good server

Or you wait for cross server PF and zones to come save your dead server.

But isn't hyperion like top 5 for the west? At least it was like that when I played. Who are you?

New jobs as follow recently leaked:
>Red Mage as a Melee Magic based DPS, their weapon of choice will be a rapier. They will work similar to spellfencers meaning that they can imbue their weapon with different magic effects. They have a few utility abilities like a MP goad for party members and can also apply magic resistance down to enemies. Finally, they have a few ranged spells but they aren't as potent as Black Mage's spells.
>Beast Master is a Melee Pet based Tank, they can summon different pets with different functions similar to how Summoners can summon different egis. They have a large pet that tanks for them, they have a smaller pet that does good single target DPS, and they have another pet that focuses primarily on decent AoE damage. The Beast Master dual wields one handed axes and is designed to be a off tank job similar to Warrior but they can main tank well if they micromanage their tank pet effectively.

>SAM dual wields sword and scabbard
>half slashing, half blunt

>grabs katana by the blade and pummels enemies with the hilt
I like it

Even better: it has one of those dumb swords from Kenshin where the blade is on the wrong side.

That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Why not just get an actual fucking offhand weapon if you're going to dual wield.

Viking hammer tank

almost completed Rhapsodies of Vana'diel, and CoP is over ; ;

Scabbards were actually used as weapons in real life. It works as something to hold your sword in, and a blunt weapon if the situation calls for it.

Can anyone tell me the benefits of FFXIV over other typical MMOs?

lol a blunt weapon on what? Some fucking peasant with a pitchfork?

you can fap to your waifu and bully roleplayers

Blunt damage is better for armored opponents because your sword won't cut through so easily. So instead, you smash and crush their bones through the armor.

>implying the sheathe isn't folded over 100000000000000000000000 times and is only outclassed by the weapon it holds

Isn't that regular MMO fare?

no because the only games with waifus are dead kshit games with no roleplayers to bully.

It's lost a ton of people and we have lower Savage clears then a lot of low pop servers.

Also the price to transfer isn't the problem it's all the shit we'd be giving up with pretty very little chance of ever getting again due to the market on big servers.

>went back to xi because hw is shit
>finally finished cop and roz
>still have aht urgan, wotg, etc to do
>cant decide what class to stick to
>laptop is on some bullshit nvidia optimus crap that cant deal with how old xi is and cant even run it at stable 20 fps despite being able to play modern games just fine

I really wish I can play xi at a smooth 60 fps.

Fair enough. I assume FFXIV is one of the more populated MMOs?

you really think a fucking katana scabbard wouldn't break on contact with anything resembling actual armor?

And also, wouldn't the samurai use DRG gear?
It seems logical for the two to share gear.

DRGs would no longer be the special snowflakes that they are.

user, there's no scabbard in the world that would work on even lightly armored opponents unless it was a literal hunk of iron. A mace would do a much better job.

Force it to use the discreet gpu in driver settings. I used to have that problem all the time when I had to use a laptop.

I have a FC, jokes on you. I don't even RP anyway.

>implying red mage won't become healer
>implying they would ever add beast master
>implying ff14 has summoners

i pick based on who gets the best outfits, so i play dnc, cor, and rdm. luckily cor is in really high demand for various group activities.

and yeah ffxi feels really horrible and chuggy (even more than usual lets say) unless you are playing at 60fps.

I already tried it. Trust me, I googled really hard about it. I managed some improvements but it's still not acceptable to me. It just kills my desire to play when I join that geo trust and bring her out only for her to kill the shit out of my fps with that fucking pink fog.

>moon

It's mostly just for a laugh, I want to dress my male retainer up in a maid outfit.

I don't get the AST is bad meme at all.

Synastry + light speed is a great "Oh shit" button

i hate all of this overdesigned gear we keep getting. i always glamour really old, simple looking gear, usually from 1.0. this is especially true for tanking classes. no more dresses please.

>tfw just a shit-ton of Alexander materials

You can't even sell them like Coil

if you full time job it and have friends you could potentially make the 220 ilevel theorized requirement for sophia. probably be 210 for xelphatol which i am presuming is the main scenario dungeon

For the fiftieth time, they are NOT the cinematic group. They are just the dark equivalent of you and your group. They obviously couldn't make them your direct clone because they are about a 100 different combinations and that would require a ridiculous amount of voice acting and coding.

My version of SAM would be like the FFT version. a melee caster who Draws Out spirits of different katanas to do different things

i also feel that given how FFXIV operates, Red Mage would be an excellent tank

Does the game have dynamic lighting? I can't tell.

>They obviously couldn't make them your direct clone because they are about a 100 different combinations and that would require a ridiculous amount of voice acting and coding.
>DRK quest makes a clone of you
Just give the leader a male and female VA and you're done.

yes

Then why does everything look so flat all the time

>Yoshida:"if you have BiS in 3.2, you shld be able to clr turn 1-2(3) easily. 3.4 is not tuned for world firsts, so it shld only take 5 days"

...

I fundamentally agree with you, and think the only thing AST really lacks are deployment tactics- which is only relevant for J storm's 34k aoe which only THREE astrologians have EVER done in noct stance successfully- and lack of cure 3 which is seriously difficult to make up for. However, your breaking it down fundamentally doesn't work.

>virus vs disable
Don't work on the same thing. Disable doesn't work on anything with a set amount of damage dealt, including all split damage and every J-attack. Disable also lasts 6 seconds, not 10 and thus affects fewer things while it's active.
>soil vs CU
CU is excellent, but stunning the AST means you can't put it up before the attack lands without wandering into a dangerous zone, and if you put it up "on time" server tick often doesn't give you the damage reduction. e.g. super jump -> J kick.
>roused dawn vs synastry + diurnal helios
While you're correct, you're comparing a WHM stance AST with a SCH. Compare SCH stance AST with SCH or shut the fuck up.
>fey vs synastry
But you've already used synastry in the above description? So synastry is on cooldown (which is 30s longer than divine seal might I add), and so you're actually comparing fey on sch with nothing on ast. Clearly ast loses this one. If they are both up, they're fundamentally identical.
>haste vs cards
Agreed.
>mana management
This isn't true. CO cannot be used for "mana management" as its shield effect is mandatory for mechanics. I assume by LE you mean LA, and I'm sorry but you're factually wrong. SCH can use energy drain in a pinch, AST simply has to roll ewer or it's fucked when it's low, which weakens its card effect. If neither can do this, then they both get ballad so claiming "but the ast gets a ballad" is bullshit, if you were about to.
>E4AE is rng
No. It lasts 30 seconds and autoattacks trigger it. You can guarantee it for every single heavy damage attack in the game except double rocket punch.

t. BiS raid AST.

>until everyone's progress is thrown out the window?
wut?

god damn you healers talk a lot, just shut up and heal the tank.

since the game is on pc, ps3, and ps4 some of the screenshots probably look like ass. people like this game because it'll run at 60 fps on toasters if you turn the settings down.

I think they're gonna keep going with the high deeps/low utility tradeoff. Giving them more utility would only hinder other people from choosing the other melee jobs.

they have this strange idea that every thing they've done in the last few months will be reduced to nothing because its suddenly possible to get stronger.

nevermind that there are numerical requirements to get into some instances. must be a bitch to log in and have your character reset to level 1 every 3 months

How do you feel when you're DPS in a light party and the other DPS is the same job? I get anxious, like I really have to be on my A-game and never fuck up lest I look even worse than I would normally.

They're some retard that thinks you should be able to get an item that will last you for 2 years of gameplay.

All the day.

if i'm SMN, then i'm fine with it. BRD, my only other dps class, not so much

why is my favorite class the goto for shitters, and despite being the easiest class mechanically people still manage to be bad at it

I leave. I don't do shit without an AOE job

Fine. i do at least 95% of what the top DPS does.

In the cinematics the WoDs are just the stand ins for the player character, from an advertising/promo standpoint.

But in game they are actual people of their own from an alternate reality or something, who were probably playing very similar roles to you before their own universe went to shit. Whatever it is we'll find out next week.

Literally nothing.
If you actually played 1.X to completion and then imported that character to 2.0, every NPC immediately recognises you (and imply your party) as the WoL that Louisoix teleported who then vanished- you quickly realise he teleported you into the future by accident.
Any kind of conjecture of "the WoDs are actually WoLs that Louisoix teleported!" or any of this shit simply comes from uninformed people.
Hydaelyn confirms (in her retarded language) after Antitower that she's an/the original god, and when she separated Zodiark from herself the universe/dimensions split into 14 separate versions that will eventually collapse into the "core", where the core has zodiark and hydaelyn as one again. The WoDs are WoLs that originated from a now-collapsed universe (that the ascians (or that universe's ascians if they aren't exempt from the split like hydaelyn and zodiark are) teleported to our functioning dimension). They are not the 1.0 WoLs. That's us.

Nope. I can't remember if you need to do normal mode first. I think they changed that in 3.2

I'll just be learning content with my friends, sounds like a personal problem user.

>people caring about worldfirsts now

But I'm logging on the moment the servers are up, then my raid team and I are going to clear all of alex normal and get server first alexander clears, just like every patch. I won't have to worry about most of this.

You have to do each normal mode to unlock their respective savage, and to unlock the next normal mode. What you don't have to do is complete each savage to unlock the next savage.

>sounds like a personal problem user
Sure. PF groups by people who want you to watch a video first before joining their ""farming"" on the first day are just my problem.

I jumped from drg to blm in 3.3 due to static falling apart and find it the opposite. There was a few times in midas where my botd was fucked because of stuff outside my control like the tank deciding go drag the boss during my second opener in a7s, when I was 2s away from refreshing

Yeah. Having to resort to PF instead of having friends is EXACTLY your personal problem.
Thanks for confirming.

That's not voice acted and in multiple long-running cutscenes

It's their group. They can make whatever rules they want. You can always form your own group if you don't like it, you fucking crybaby. Not everyone exists to bow to your demands.

Still plowing through my MSQ to get to heavenwards

On the Thornmaruch quest with moogles

How much left

Lots

Thanks for confirming that you didn't get the point.

It's not about me joining anything. It's about retards being retards who are likely shitters themselve.

>people know what they're doing and want their clears/farms
>don't want dumb faggots joining who want to experience the fight with a clean mind and learn the mechanics as they go :^)
>this makes them retards and shitters
Sounds like you're the shitter, user.

>mods won't do their jobs
>be surprised when people in turn ignore the rules to escape it

I'm gonna have to pf Sophia. Static gone and friends will be all be farming it with their static or starting on creator.

It should be fun watching the rage quits though kek

You're on patch 2.2 right now. So three patches of MSQ to get to 2.5, then 2.55's short quests but long cutscenes, and then finally you can do heavensward.

No, I got the point exactly. But if you didn't have your PERSONAL PROBLEM you'd be ignoring nearly all of the stuff you listed as it wouldn't affect you. But because you suffer your PERSONAL PROBLEM, you're wondering if other people are "ready for it" so you can share stories, despite the fact it's your PERSONAL PROBLEM.
What actually happened is I understood it perfectly and you're retarded, but you're SO retarded you don't even understand when other people understand you.
Go get yourself tested for Asperger's. I'd take a hundred quid bet you suffer from it.

>PERSONAL PROBLEM
>Cred Forums constantly complaints about the same shit on patch day
Welcome to /xiv/ on Cred Forums. Enjoy your stay.

Post cute waifus!

I haven't got around to savage raid content and I'm still relatively new. Maybe it will get harder but it feels more natural to me.

I lost DPS trying to manage enochian it doesn't mesh with me at all. Normally I can just tough it out and try to learn but its a fucking hassle and a training dummy doesn't teach much. I don't want to join a roulette or a dungeon and suck massive shit especially since I do decent with DRG in comparison.

>Going this far to antagonize someone dreading common problems of day 1 large patches.

This is starting to get annoying and I'm seeing it pop up way more. Especially with legit issues with the game. This retarded I got mine fuck you behavior especially on Cred Forums makes NO sense at all.

Yeah man. Some jobs and their rotations will gel with you more than others. My only advice is play a job you love and not kinda like. I found that out by the end of 3.2 that I hated drg and was already dropping hints to my static I wasn't going to be around in 3.4 playing it

The thing is until 60 I LOVED black mage. I was literally in bed just thinking about if I just go and continue on my BLM and gear up for 60. I'm so torn on this. I could gear both but with lockouts and all that shit I won't be able to do it efficiently and have to choose one now.

I honestly want to play BLM again.

you think BLM has it bad, think about all the BRD mains

Amazing that a game with a billion cutscenes can't take 5 minutes to explain this seemingly important bullshit better.

It did explain it. You just didn't pay attention.

The only truly required crossclass skill is provoke. All the others add maybe 5-6% overall DPS at most.

SAM will be a tank

I must be the only one who thinks this looks nice.

You're only on 2.1 actually. 2.2 and 2.3 are pretty shit, but it gets drastically better at 2.4 and beyond.

I wouldn't rush it though. Take your time and do all the good level 50 content while you're there. Especially the Crystal Tower 24-man raids, which you can unlock right now in Mor Dhona.

I would have remembered something about being split into 14 different universes.

Just make a fucking partyfinder yourself holy fucking shit.

Rewatch the Antitower cutscene. It's the main thing she talks about. "Across ten and four we were divided, reflections of the Source" or something like that.

>still not getting the point
A retard is you.

This guy is just posting theories as fact. None of this is even remotely confirmed yet.

If the parallel universe thing turns out to be true however, then it's a sure bet that the Warriors of Darkness ARE the characters from the cinematics, and that those took place in an alternate universe where the same shit happened.

Oh, right... across ten and four, clear as day. My mistake.

>#10 in roulette
>gotta take a piss, obviously won't be ready by the time I get back
>get back in under two minutes to see it count down to one second and withdraw

You really need to rewatch the Antitower cutscene. It's not a theory. It's straight up fucking fact that Hydaelyn herself tells you.

Not the game's fault you have a poor grasp on the English language.

This is a joke right? How the fuck do you get banned for that

So this is the final set of armor to look like shit since they're still missing the 2.0+ armor designers. At least it looks less godawful than Dreadwyrm gear with prince colors and wings sticking out all over the place.

DELETE THIS

I kind of like the weapons, with the floaty allagan balls orbiting them.

>hating on swag
>doesn't know you can dye it

back when I played windower seemed to fix the majority of my performance issues. especially with the frame rate and resolution.

I will never put my male character in a dress (except for maybe a costume contest) but if girls can wear all the male outfits, males should be able to wear all the female outfits. It's only fair.

There are a good amount of male exclusive outfits.

>that description
Hot damn, all the squadies are going to be hot for my WoL D.

It's across ten and three, and four. And there's absolutely nothing even remotely hinting to other universes. Could be talking about those crystals you're always activating for all we know.

But congrats on making me watch that stupid shit again.

Not nearly as many as female elusive outfits, and every existing male-locked outfit has a strong chance of getting a female version.

>Healers don't need Swiftcast

Why would anyone need swiftcast?

It's talking about worlds, but okay. In a week when you get proven wrong, remember this post.

I literally don't care anymore about my gear, I like that it gives me new stuff to do and a clear goal. Fuck the haters, it's fun for the 2-3 months I catch up casually each patch, then quit and wait until the next patch.

>Mandy choker
What community contest did a 10-year-old NPC win? THIS IS NEPOTISM!

I have absolutely no dog in this retarded fight. It could be that. All I'm saying is it could be explained better through one of the ~500 or so cutscenes we need to endure.

Anime watchers who can only understand things if they're laid out in plain, boring language in three different ways within a ten minute time span need to learn to use their brains. This is the same shit with them not understanding Midgardsormr because he had flavor in his dialogue.

prolly sucked someones dick for it, it's a moon c@ after all

Suncats are sluts, mooncats are lovers.

Being this smug should be illegal

What hair does Ardashir have?

I was one off because I watched the cutscene half a fucking year ago. The point is I understood what it was saying.

You got the entire moonc@ lore wrong.

I didn't, but please tell me what you think the actual mooncat lore is.

No, I don't think you did. Go rewatch it.

>Start MCH
Holy shit, this is the best job ever! I've never had so much fun in this game!
>get to 52
Well, so much for that.

You get used to it at 60. And ripping aggro from tanks with a 14k Wildfire is always satisfying.

You would've been a shit MCH.

What sever is everyone playing at?

And post pictures of your idle area if possible.

I got it to 60 and I just don't find the Wildfire mechanic fun. Getting one 14k hit every two minutes and doing jack-nothing the rest of the time is not exciting to me.

Wow, even with padding 2k dps sounds pretty hardcore.

whats the point of breaking your balls doing savage runs when all you get is this shitty looking gear, what the fuck happened to armor designers, the last good looking armor sets were the esoteric ones, did they change designers after that?

grab just one, dont be a fucking shitter

Why? I have 8 characters. If I can get one for each of them that'd be stellar.

Get off of Balmung.

I accidently bought the fucking MAC OS Heavensward download instead of the windows. I sent SE 2 emails and still have yet to get a reply, any ideas?

I have 1 large 2 mediums and a small house across my main and alts.

Get fucked.

>yfw you need to complete ARR + HW to even do new expansion

Holy shit

You are the reason why automatic house demolishing was introduced.

>you need to play a story focused game to be able to play the game

Holy shit.

I'm pretty sure automatic house demolishing was introduced because people who quit a year ago still had housing hogged up.

I, meanwhile, pay a subscription every 3 month and actually have every single house/room decorated.

This.

Thanks for ruining it for everyone else who can't be online 24/7 on 365 days to keep their house.

Confirmed ages ago they won't make that mistake again like HW. But it will make the MSQ awkward if HW now is leading up to the expansion.

>doing nothing for two minutes

Holy shit you're bad. You're probably a fucking clicker too.

>Yoshi admits apartments can actually hold 500 rooms each
>But they picked 90 rooms because he said he didnt want a situation where there where a lot of untaken rooms

YOSHIDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I just quit but most of my friends play ffxiv and I'm now in the fond memories sorta regret stage help.

Post what these so called radical AST changes will be

What did he even said? that he wanted tie her to a radiator and eat her cunny?

The reason why automatic house demolishing was introduced is because people continue to go to incredibly overpopulated servers despite getting multiple warnings that the servers are grossly overpopulated and that they really shouldn't go there.

That, and the fact that SE fucked up by going against their word and making personal housing the same as FC housing

>Yoshi-p has already asked his friend to make the full set of the new craftable gear when patch 3.4 launches. He was then told "But what about my time to do new content?" so Yoshi-p answered "Crafting new gear is new content isn't it?" and so he was called a demon.

The absolute madman

I have 3 small houses and 1 medium house.

Get fucked, poor people.

Ah, I didn't realize you were getting consistent 14k hits when Wildfire isn't up. Please teach me your non-burst damage MCH ways, senpai.

I'm sorry calling out how retarded you are triggered you, user. Go back to ERPing.

then why the fuck do you need an apartment, those are designed for people that dont have the money to get a house, fuck off

You need to be a 2nd Lieutenant to buy an apartment?

FORWARD AND BACK FORWARD AND BACK AND ONE FOOT FORWARD

I'm sorry you can't understand the concept of different types of gameplay being fun for different people, and have to resort to calling people that don't like what you like shitters.

>get an apartment
>can't even look out the window

So which city are you guys gonna get your box in?

People who don't have the money to get a house should join a FC where they can get cucked by their FC owner for only 300k gil.

I, meanwhile, will be enjoying all the housing my greedy hands can get on.

Oh boy I can't wait until patch day. Get fucked!

SOMEONE HELP
SOMEONE HELP

yes. its in the requirements. that means level 50, AV unlocked and cleared, which means you need to have killed Garuda, and about 15k company seals. in addition to 500k gil

I'm not calling you a shitter because you like to play grabass on Balmung. I'm calling you a shitter for not bothering to learn how a class works and then blaming the class itself for your own ineptitude, and then getting upset when you're called out on being a lazy shitter.

Just wait

>Instead of fixing the housing issues they just released shitty apartments.
>tfw you will never get a comfy house.
It's actually quite frustrating.

Have you considered suicide?

Fuck me, I'm only a Corporal. I know switching GCs was gonna bite me in the ass somehow. What's the fastest way to grind out those seals?

nope, people who dont have the money and are not autistic enough to get more than one house (like you, fucking autist cough), should get an apartment, since they are cheap and easy to get.

get fucked, no life loser

>REEEE you don't need X number of houses/flats

Ever heard of real estate you poor fags? Some people are better off than others so now you want to punish them for it?

Get out with your fucking e-communism.

>tfw you have a comfy house because you didn't enter a stupidly overpopulated server
Feels good, man. I'll be getting an apartment a week after they come out because they'll still be available.

do you have gear that you don use?, you can "sell" them for seals

> I have never played these classes but love to shitpost on /v

You know you can just get an apartment in your FC house, right? You do help your FC design and decorate your massive FC mansion, don't you?

I'm not even on an overpopulated sever.

Hahaha you have absolutely no way to stop me from snatching all the housing I want bitch

Gear turn ins. Daily crafter/gatherer turn ins.

i think that if you hit 2nd LT once already you're still fine.

if not, GC hunt logs, GC leves, turning in green/blue/pink gear, guildhests, some roulettes

Just turn on your Fate bot and you will soon have max seals.

dont need to, dont even play on an overpopulated server, but hey this is you
>im such a poor fucking loser, I dont have anything worthwhile in my life so I will play this MMO all day like the waste of life that I am and get a lot of useless shit and act like an asshole, like those guys that bullied me in school

I will rape them with numbers.

Once I got another amazing drg as the other DPS. We fucked that dungeon so hard the tank and healer were gobsmacked. Quickest run ever. We bro-fisted and went our separate ways

>Apartments:
90 people can live in an aparment per ward. They can actually have 500 people live in one apartment, but in that case there will be wards with nobody living in them, so they started with 90 so people spread out among all the wards. If that's not enough, they'll add rooms instantly.

>instantly.
They'll add more rooms, but you're dreaming if you think they'll be added even as soon as 3.45. SE never does today what they can put off until next year.

2.X gear and Esoterics gear were designed by Akihiko Yoshida, who also did the art for FF Tactics, Tactics Ogre, and some other games. He left to go freelance just after 2.0, and that's why a lot of the armor looks fucking terrible now.

Should I resub? Is Dragoon fun?

Why did they not also add more housing plots with this patch? Will they ever add more plot or will we just have to "Please look forward to it!"?

>Is Dragoon fun?

Yes, but Lancer isn't

>instantly

hahahahahahahaha

Was thinking of either being a Dragoon or healing.

This. DRG is dull as shit until you get to 50 and beyond.

This is true, but it doesnt take that long to level classes/jobs anymore anyways. Only grindy bit is 53-58 which isn't nearly as bad as LNC once was. Do PotD or something, get a somewhat okay 235 weapon for your trouble and see how the end game skills are.

I love DRG myself. Huge numbers, tight rotations (when you hit the Sks sweetspot anyway).

They added more housing plots just a few months ago.

I just came back after a 6+month break from the game and there's just as many plots now as it was then.

Not until high level, but BLM is boring as shit until level 44

As someone who is native American, go fuck yourself, I'm happy that SOMEONE is FINALLY giving Native American cultural a bump.

1/16th nigger-foot isn't Native American, faggot. And someone who doesn't partake in the actual culture can fuck right off, too.

Is PLD really shitty? I want to start using it but don't want to be a burden on parties.

this post is some xivg level cringe

Not him, but i'm also Native American. My father is actually a Forester for the Oneida Tribe here in Wisconsin. We're definitely a lot more than 1/16th, ethnically.

That said it's not that big of a deal either way.

I'm sitting on about 400m
I have a private room in a Free Company with friends

Playing dress up and making an effort to get more than one place to furnish is the most nu-male thing you can do in this game, short of literally getting cucked.

No idea why people are throwing a fit about you trying to get more than one apartment, since there's going to be plenty to go around even on containment servers like Balmung, but you're literally acting like babbies first 1m the way you talk about an extremely easily obtained currency on a dying game.

Fucking normie

This post was made 4 months ago. na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/topics/detail/611a2417fbdd247a18a619409302b2896cea7f52

Got back into the game after two years of absence a couple weeks ago, just finished the main Heavensward story. Still have a metric fuckton of shit to do

You don't deserve it. Your culture is dead and you're a drain on society. Go overdose on meth already.

It has abysmal AoE damage and some people consider that it has unnecessarily large amount of Defensive skills, but no one will really care about what you play unless you play it wrong.

>He doesn't RMT it

lol why even make gil if you're not gonna use it, turbocuck

It's not the greatest right now, but it does just fine. I do 1.1k on mine, but it's really more of a raid tank than a dungeon tank. You won't be a burden if you play well, that's really the main thing that'll separate you from the rest. I've carried so many parties as my PLD.

I mean, I'd love some WAR-tier buffs so I can fuck shit up more, but I get 4k royal authorities so I wont complain too much. Try and grab a nin if you can for dem buffs and practice switching stances so you can maximise output. What I like about PLD is that it really forces you to work for your output, you cant just spam overpower/steel cyclone and get away with it. Every tank should be forced to do GLA/PLD before being allowed to touch the other tanks, it's a great way to learn the fundamentals you need for proper tanking.


And at the end of the day, sword and board is just the most aesthetic way to tank. I love that shit.

>spending your time in an online game trying to convert an inflated currency into pennies.

SE doesn't do shit about people who involve themselves with RMT and that's still a complete waste of time.

>He pays 15$ a month to make money for chinks

When's that welfare check coming in.

Yes, and it only improved with Heavensward.

Fucking nips need to stop appropriating American culture.

>Que up for Sohr Khal

You really are a nu-male holy shit.

I hate how they put side capes on everything. I need muh symmetry

lol yeah an extra $450 in pennies a month boy sure is a waste of time.

Hold up. Is this a set in 3.4 or is it already in?

Cowboys aren't sacred/religious symbols. And Americans have no culture.

>230+ BLM.

*shoots gun and claps*
YEEHAW

Oh you mean make good glamour choices? Never gonna happen.

>BRD/MCH
Fuck. Didn't remember what any of the sets look like since I only ran each dungeon once.

PLD is the most popular tank because it's the simplest. If you're planning on getting into raiding, I would recommend going with WAR or DRK just because they're played less (though honestly with the state of raiding as it is right now, you could get a group as a GLD).

If you're just leveling PLD for DF groups, then don't worry about being a burden on your parties. Player skill is much more important. If you're not a retard, your party will love you no matter what job you're playing.

I want them to finish this scholastice nonesense so we can get their uniform for glamor. Fucking undyable sharlayan gear from Library. Literally the only midlength skirt in the game.

>he spends his time making 900m a month for a meager $450

You could literally work at the lowest facilities in the country for a week and still make more than that with even more freedom, both being a wageslave though chances are you're not gonna be some chinks cuck at a regular job.

May as well do it for free, which literally no one would put past you I'm sure.

A low tier bait, but if it's true it definitely explains the cuck attitude about a non-tangible housing system.

>And Americans have no culture.

Rape culture doesn't count.

You believe they'll ever allow you to buy game time with gil?

how much you think it'd cost a month

0/10

Odin has a lot of catgirls staring at you and making emotes. It's a cute server!

>Doing roulettes
You have only yourself to blame.

>900m for $450

If you have no idea what things actually sell for (especially on servers like Balmung), why even bother trying to pretend like you know?

Also yeah it's super hard to turn the bot on haha

That's Swedish culture, don't try and steal that from us!

Thanks for the information. I'll give it a try.

You're getting about 5$ per 10m from most chinks, the math isn't hard to figure out.

>he pays 15$ a month for the chance at working for some RMT chinks.

Has to be bait, no man can be this cucked.
Say hi to your wifes son for me. Hopefully a handful of apartment rooms no one will ever possibly know you own stave off the ever looming threat of offing yourself yeah?

>Chinks

There's your problem. Balmung it's $5-6 per million to a reliable reseller. That means 90m, which is super easy to get while I bot in my sleep.

But yeah let's feel better by calling me a cuck while you sit on 400m and spend it on absolutely nothing.

Probably at least a million gil. XIV's economy is kind of weird compared to wow and their wowtoken, in that the game basically throws money at you for free with things like free V materia through weeping/potd, which is like 250k gil a pop.

It's hard to imagine it costing anything less than a million since you would basically pay for your month by running potd a couple of times.

Dunno about you but I was hyped to make my MCH a gunslinger. Still waiting on a good duster though.

>He actually thinks he can sell gil for more cash than the chinks are selling it for.
Why the fuck would gold sellers buy 10m for $, 50-60 when they sell it for less than 100m for $50-60

RDM will be healer with some stupid gimmick but still better than Astro

AST is on par with WHM right now and is apparently getting buffs this patch that are so good they make the devs scared to implement them. Think about it.

Because most people don't buy shit from dumb chinks who get their accounts banned in a week and will pay more from an American seller.

Because on Balmung bots get deleted in front of your eyes so they rely on content sellers to sell them gil. I kind of wish it was like Guild Wars where when you saw someone get fucking banned a giant fucking scythe would come up and crush their character out of existence.

AST been giving buffs since 3.0 because they are that awful.

But have been fine since the last buff. Think about how large this one will be considering the emphasis they place on reworking the cards and shielding. This won't merely be a potency increase.

>Grade V Battledance Materia

T-thanks Aquapolis

Is there a point playing the maintain-botd game for dragoons during short term aoe encounters? (like dungeon trash for example).

Seems pointless from a potency per second standpoint when I can just dot everyone once with phleb and then spam doom spike.

I'll pop botd just to get one geirskogul off and lose it immediately, but it feels kind of sacrilegious compared to how its used in sustained single target where dropping it is a meme.

If you do a big trash pull that is AoEble, just spam doomspike. You could use BoTD once and use Geriskogul as well.

Craft some greens and blues and turn them in for the easiest seals of your life

should i main warrior or paladin if im planning to be a main tank

well the obvious answer is if the skill is going to be on cooldown when you need it afterwards, don't use it.
if it will be up for then, then do use it because free 200 potency.
also don't phleb for aoe, just heavy and doom spike

What greens and blues? Most of that shit has been downgraded to only give you 300-400 GC seals or so.

What I always do is HT > ID > DIS >(Botd) CT > Geirskogul > Doomspike spam > Geirskogul before BotD runs out

I haven't quite done the math to see if the extra Geirskogul is worth having to do an ID > DIS > CT combo on a single target, but it also helps stop the TP drain that Doomspike Spam does.

I'm not. It's called min-maxing user. Probably above your level, this is 4chins after all. I'll fetch my stats and post them in the next thread that pops up (maybe even a screenshot of the hit if you're lucky!).

Of course, I don't need to validate what I know against you or anyone else. I just don't want this poor newby user to get the wrong idea because of meme spouters. You play PLD right you can get some decent damage.

Not to say it isn't still marred by shit damage and poor aoe. That sword/board love is strong though

I mean I wish the place was more of a rectangle and you could place some preset windows but how did people believe that there would somehow be 3,000 fully made apartments with a balcony?

>What are you guys doing with the week

not playing that shitty excuse for an MMO

oddly enough the vast demand for housing in Balmung would be curbed if they just let people go to the same Inn room

preach it shield brother, im a PLD too, how do you get those big dick numbers, my best royal authority was like 2.6k

I don't give a fuck about the room, I'm paying for that sweet, sweet teleport.

GC - Goblet
Personal house - Lavender Beds
Apartment - Mist

No more will I have to click on the Limsa Aetheryte like a pleb.

Even with min-maxing and stuff. My PLD has an ilvl of 238 and hits only for 2.2k damage. And that's already with the 30% buff. Also if you use a potion, which is locked behind a 5 min cooldown, you can't really say you hit for 4k if you can only do it thrice in 5 minutes.

245 weapon

I gave everything I owned to someone who hates me and deleted my character.

should I come back to this game?

damn... you sure told him....

You don't seem to be someone who should waste his time on an MMO

cuck

I fucking love those Aerie weapon skins though.

For one, I hope you're as BIS as you can be. I'm still using 220 pants over anything else cos the fucking 230 pants wont drop in the 24 man and my static died shortly after Sephirot (really it's real life shit right now keeping me away. Everything's done though so meh).

Just min max stats; if you cant stack crit, do det, remove all parry. I use as many grade V crit/det materia as I can (I craft so gil is no object really). Make a nin buddy, and practice stance dancing. PLD aoe isn't the best, but single target needn't be shit. Practice on SSS if need be.


Dont get me wrong PLD still needs to be reworked some. But there's no reason it should be as shit as Cred Forums would suggest. No WAR/DRK/PLD can keep aggro from me if i want it. Lucky for them, I'd rather sword oath/DPS and provide cover based mitigation

With every new patch my Ocelot cosplay gets closer. Now if only the guns weren't awfully disproportionate.

So what? Hitting 4k a couple of times means it doesn't count? Dont tell that to the BLMs with their five IVs they may shit themselves. Anyway, my 4k RAs are fairly regular. Not every hit I admit, but regular enough. I outdps a lot of folk.

To be fair to folk, if luck stat is a thing in this game, I'm pretty sure mine is sky high. I get mounts, weapons, everything first or second run without issue.

Me too and I have them already but there's no excuse for recycling this shit.

Especially since crafted gear will cost a buttload of gil, I want something new for this money. They put "new" gear in 3.2. It's making me angry

How do you know if you're cat is fine or not? Just go what with you like.

Heh my bad, I've had it so long I forgot. I use a 240 relic. Muh selected stats and all that.

Ocelot from what game? Do you have the PVP revolver?

they probably did it to A: make it easier to get said skins and B: make people not have to buy a 5 million gil weapon for an appearance

then you are doing something wrong buddy, because my PLD is ilvl 221 and hits for like 2.6k

I do!

Young Ocelot is possible to pull off and so is Le Cowboy Ocelot. I'm just not sure which one to do.

Pre-imperial Garlean revolver a best

how was the grind, how long did you take between the hyperconductive to the next stage of the relic?

youtube.com/watch?v=3yuKO_4bstg

what are you gonna use for the beret?

What are you botting to even get that much?

Are you guys counting critical hits as normal damage now are you just fucking with me?

I did it fairly casually, so a little while. I knew I didn't need the 240 to clear content so it was more a glamour thing (plus a little usefulness). I just casually did PotD and Exs each day for a few weeks, which FCmates generally needed anyway and I like trying new stuff in dungeons to try and improve my DPS. So yeah, I guess somewhere around a month as I did it? Totally doable in far less time if you grind it, but I wasn't fussed. Thegns is okay but doesnt look as nice as Almace anyway, and the stats were still good pre-selection stage.

I expect they'll nerf it next patch as per desu. Hold off if you can.

there is straight up a red beret in the game.

either I'm hysterical and I dyed it red, I believe there is two of them level 1 one being red and one being green with a pomp.

thanks man, im currently getting aether oils for the hyperconductive, hope they nerf it soon

See this is what pisses my nin off, with his +1300 crit spec.

I crit far more than I normal hit. More than 60% of my hits crit. But my normal hits still match with the other anons'.


Tell us your stats, let us help if we can. Everyone loves a badass pld

I'd like the Sophia and Zurvan fights to be narratively something more than just, "Shit's waking up. Go to the containment bay and kick its ass."

aether oils you;ll find a piece of piss. I'm not sure, but can you buy umbrites yet? Cos if you can, you'd be wiser to buy those and just take the one oil each week. That'll shorten the grind so much- at least if you have a blue scrip gatherer/crafter.

Ask whatever you need. Cred Forums is full of faggots, but this faggot is happy to help

Well, my static pretty much changed me from a PLD to a WAR since they needed an off-tank.
But I'm sure you can also give me some tips on how to improve my WAR. What stats should I look for?
Also I'm piss poor so crafted gear is a big no no for me.

Should I go NIN or SMN for the next patch?

>crafted weapons will be better than sophia's
>sophia weapons reduced to glamour fodder on day 1

Holy shit this triggers me too, whats with their side cape fetish? i want a dress or the thing actually covering both sides, what the fuck!

Depends, what classes you got so far?

SMN only if you want to play the easiest dps class.

Will monk be the expansion's main job? Like goon was in HW?

Do we have actual numbers yet? Because I was expecting crafted to be 250 with sophy weapons being 255.

On my server people usually look for melee DPS since you usually take two anyway.
You gotta decide if you're more of a melee person or a dot person. Personally I fucking hate dots.

I currently main SMN but thinking about playing a NIN. When I started playing SMN nearly none played them but now everyone plays them and it feels a little sad. NIN is really fun but sadly got not good aoe damage.

>roulette trial Nidhoegg
>suddenly massive lag
>everything delayed
>can't properly do stuff and even die once
>we can't kill the last add
>decide to leave so that they might get a DPS without lag
>tell them that I leave and why
>suddenly someone else saying "low dps" + ragequit
Curious.

Pretty much why I stick with paladin

I dont have a blue script gatherer/crafter, the only char I have is my PLD and dont really have the patience to lvl up another class

what ast card combos should I be using on which jobs?
Anything especially powerful, should I only be using royal road cards?

I'd play NIN just for the glams desu

NIN's AoE got a considerable buff. You're not going to beat a caster but that's par for the course with melee.

slap down your cards on the Bard. all 6 of them

Yes, rebuild the fist of Rhalgr

That's probably the case and materia melds will push crafted over sophia weapons

I can understand that. I use WAR for 24 mans/dungeons etc cos i dont MT those and I love dem FCs. The damage is great and the buffs WAR offers help a lot.

Honestly for any tank I'd say the same. Max crit, then det, str Vs on guaranteed accessory slots and crit/det on the rest. CRIT is your priority, det just makes life easier for healers. nothing else is worthwhile. If you have any parry above the minimum GET RID OF IT. Parry fucking sucks. I dont give a shit what any Mr Pro tank says, Parry is fucking garbage. DRK has skills that proc for parry if they need it, pointless to stack for them too,

All crit/det all day erry day. Totally possible to a respectable level with proto midan/yafaemi/lore gear. I' m a cheap fuck that only crafts glamours for myself (cos Iknow i'll just take the savage gear as I get it). remove parry, prioritise crit (then det). Wow all the bitches here with your big dick tank deeps.. My WAR's FCs are 10k currently (still stuck with Parashu, axe wont drop from Nidhogg :/)

You should be fine as long as you get company seals. You can also look for Amber which you find in treasure chests doing levequests. And thanks to dailies, you get poetics real fast which you also can trade in for items you need for the relic.

Didn't they want to rework the parry stat in the next patch?

NIN glam is cute and sexy. But mostly sexy.

Ah well.........the sand will be a sticking point. Have a look online (it'll be more useful than I) at the list of things the NPC will accept in exchange for crystal sand. Elemental IVs, moonstones, amber saps etc. This was simple for me since all i had to do was gather some Morel/cuprite. Will take you a bit longer, but if you start on it now it shouldn't be a hinderance

Final question, Str potion or Vit potion?

They said 3.4 at the earliest, 4.0 at the latest. It probably got pushed back.

Meanwhile MNK glams are boring or nonexistent

They say they will, but honestly I expect nothing. They're great at claiming this shit and terrible at actually doing it.

C: They're too lazy/mismanaged to make new assets

Vit. Both give the same buff to attack (as far as I'm aware), but vit still boosts hp as well. Not that any tank should need it, but why not eh? I mean, unless the mats to make the str is a lot cheaper I guess.

>det just makes life easier for healers
???
Det does not increase heals you receive, only heals and damage you deal

that is THE reason. THEIR reason is A or B

There are three different berets in the game, and despite being called Red Beret, Green Beret and (I think) White Beret, you can dye them all.

I'm a PLD main so ;p

That'd be neat.

Would it be fair to call Ethys liberal scum/an sjw.

Shit I was planning to do this with my other 5 friends, guess we'll have to queue this fucker as soon as we can.

I need the WoL set.

My clemencies hit 8k-13k for what it's worth.

He likes to ignore facts that disagree with his theories, so yes.

I thought I enjoyed playing PLD at 50, but now that I'm used to my level 60 abilities I want to kill myself when I'm doing level sync'd content. I don't know how I ever found that job fun before it had a proper DPS combo and heal.

Example?

What the fuck is an Ethys? Are you trying to bring /vg/ shit over here?

All in the experience. I feel the exact same way. Kills me to go back, but I do for the tomes in roulettes (when it happens) sometimes you just gotta get on with shit.

His Unukalhai """theory""" is full of holes. He bases it entirely on the idea that Gaius -might- have had a kid in Ala Mhigo and -might- have abandoned him and he -might- have Echo, even though Unukalhai straight up tells you he only has a power similar to Echo and is from another world.

His Yda theory that's gotten insanely popular says that she's lost Ala Mhigan royalty based entirely on the idea that she's an idiot. It ignores that the only known child of Theodoric is a man. It ignores that Sharlayan has a strict neutrality policy and wouldn't have taken in royalty especially when they were doing everything possible to avoid war with Garlemald at the time. It ignores that her tattoo signifies mastery over her chosen area of study, which means she's not actually stupid.

Very very wrong.

AF1 MNK armor is perfection.

Ethys is the reason why we don't have more Yda fanart.

I quite like him and his content analysis of the lore but yeah I did not like those 2 theories the Unukalhai one was far worse though, and at least Yda does seem to be related to Ala Mhigo with the way the story is heading

Except for the color. I'm glad they made a way for them to be dyed.

>It ignores that Sharlayan has a strict neutrality policy and wouldn't have taken in royalty especially when they were doing everything possible to avoid war with Garlemald at the time.

Higher scholars like Louis and Matoya had the clout to do shit on their own prerogative, not Sharlayan's. It was Louisoix who took Yda in.

Finally hit level 59, so I'll likely get through Heavensward just in time for the new content.
