FF XIV Shadowbringers

Because the Elementals create an Orwellian society where you're always under surveillance and can be put to death for minor offenses that only make sense to inhuman demigods. Your diet also mainly consists of beans and bean paste because Gridania as a whole can only take very small, specific amounts of food from the forest at a time, but the Gelmorran ruins aren't subject to that rule and the only thing they can get down there are fucking mun-tuy beans.

Reminder that in 1.0, the Garleans carpet bombed the forest. The Elementals responded by literally vaporizing Gridanian citizens because they do not recognize any kind of difference between humans.

it's a good game but ruined by its fanbase that cares more about SFM/Blender porn than actual gameplay.

They already said they're taking this opportunity to explore the greater world of Automata aside from the small area the game itself takes place in.

Taro said he didn't have a fucking clue what he was going to do with it yet, and Yoshi said he was hoping to sit down with them soon and talk it out. Unless there's been an interview since then.

How is important to hit 70 before expansion?
You see, i am really started to think about leveling paladin. Geez, it is really painful, i just can't decide and now i am in constant agony of choice.

You have 4 months. You can get all of those to 70 in that time.

Guys, are you not afraid about SHB release?
I bet SHB will flop terribly.
Cause their release date is too close to WoW Classic.
And believe me - EVERYBODY would play classic. Like it is the most important release of the fucking decade

Just image Yoshi's face when he will see the numbers! Like, huh, i believe he'll gonna kill himself

Should i start leveling PLD or finish with the story and DRK? Are there something important on 70?

This could be (You) bro!

Attached: classic wow.jpg (802x1038, 261K)

I'd finish DRK up, because their job story is pure kino and is actually extremely relevant to the story. You will need to hit 70 on at least one job to finish the main story before the expansion too. Tanks also share gear aside from weapons so you could easily just get all of them to 70 and see what you like the most.

the expansion is Lv70-80 content, so idk what you're trying to ask here.
are you asking, "Should i be high enough level to actually play the content?"
which sounds ridiculous, so i can only assume im missing the question you're really asking.

DRK will be story-relevant in 5.0 probably if you want some extra dialogue. I'd go to 70 with DRK and level PLD after if you really want.

Don't forget that they like to go around touching children, too.

want to know how I know this was literally 90% traced?

Attached: 1547866189556.png (492x504, 356K)

The questions is - should i keep leveling my DKR until 70 and then level PLD or should i just start leveling PLD and hit my first 70 with him.
Cause i can't decide it by myself.

you straight up cannot do pre-requisite story quests to even set foot into the expansion without being level 70, so what do you think?

Only you can decide that. Do you like DRK?

Why would u need to do it in X amount of time?
Forcing yourself to do something u dont like, or at a pace u dont like, will make u burn out.

I'd rather DoD not be sullied by being referenced in this carnival ride of a game.

the new metallic dyed wedding dress miqote tank

>short stroke sketch
i can only guess what u mean, as im not familliar with that term.
but when i draw, i make multiple lines, for a single line, since im not steady with my hand.
so i assume it means that.
but why would that mean someone traced or not?
i hardly color, and i use multiple lines, but dont trace, so i dont understand the connection ur drawing.

It also already has enough content if you include the stage plays, manga, radio play, etc.

I miss 1.0 lore.

normally, i suggest getting a job to max level, once at max, focus on your daily/weekly stuff. (like expert roulettes, or 24man/raid drops)
once u have them done, do your leveling roulette (MSQ/24 man roulette) on alternative jobs, to level them.

this should keep u busy for most of the week.

but if u dont have a job at max, then u have a lot less to do, other than just more leveling dungeons/Deep dungeons

but since the expansion is half a year away, its up to u, if u want to try endgame now or not, since most of the gear will be just "leveling gear" once the expansion hits.

so what's going to be the Yea Forums server to be on for the world visit feature coming in april?

As unlikely as it is it would be nice if they gave us weapons as well. Like in addition to the weekly raid token you get a second special one, and trading in 3 from the three raids gets you a weapon.

I forgot to ask before the other thread died.

Is PNY a good gpu for the 1060 6gb?

Will 1060 6gb be able to do 1080p/60hz maxed settings?

yes, I actually got a xlr8 1060 from pny and I get 1080p+75hz with max settings in most areas that aren't CPU bound.

my 970 maxes out everything just fine, but when it gets busy or your in a big 24man raid expect to drop to the 30ish range in fps.

Why is the Aetheryte Earring so fucking useless

Attached: 1551493611572.jpg (513x373, 32K)

Considering we only got a couple good Tactics/12 armor in the Ivalice raid, I wouldn't get too excited about what we will get in the Neir raid.

It's for other people to catch up and so you can level GUN and DNC faster when ShB comes out.

cos everyone levels in deep dungeons

So should I just buy the 970 then and forget what the other user told me in the other thread to get a 1060 6gb?

That's good because I never heard of PNY until now. Any brands I should be weary of buying from?

>Tanks and healers
>Doing deep dungeons for leveling

Attached: 1550639558771.png (729x828, 509K)

like I'm doing dungeons before level 60 regardless, before that point gearing is more hassle than it's worth.

We got plenty of authentic Ivalician armors, the problem is that most of those armor sets are terrible to look at. But hey, at least they're authentic.

1060 is better than the 970. But both cards will run this game fine as long as your CPU isn't bottlenecking it.

You should be more focused on the SKUs of each brand than the brand itself as even good brands have different bad cards. Ideally stick with dual fan or better cards. Even better if you can get a OC focused card as they will not only perform better but are more reliable due to better pcb and binning.

Yeah, they chose almost nothing but ugly shit to give us.

So both the 1060 and 970 are going to make me drop FPS in 24 raids no matter what?

It ultimately depends on your CPU. If your CPU sucks you will drop lots of frames in CPU bound scenarios (populated towns, big raids, eureka, etc) If your CPU is great then you should achieve a consistent high FPS in those areas.

stop being fucking poorfag and just buy a rtx 2080ti

(1) DPS are doing less than 50% of what they should be doing almost every dungeon. (or at least 90% of the time)
(2) DPS do at least reasonable damage half the time in PotD, even if they cant dodge shit, or stop fucking up mechanics.
(3) I want to get through content faster, not slower, so as a healer or tank, i get an easy run in PotD, keeping the retards alive through heals, or by needing to switch to tank, when they pull too much.

Only if i bring my raid friends would a leveling dungeon ever be quicker.

I'm excited we're finally getting a new healer (and tank) that we rightfully deserve because fuck DPS mains, but I just can't get excited about DNC as a job. Nothing about the aesthetic is exciting to me and it's going to be populated by generic autistic catgirls and bunnysluts who don't know how to play.

I was really hoping for something new and unique to the series that had a little more...grit to its aesthetics, especially given ShadowBringers whole 'dark' theme, but its inevitably going to be some boring job where you shake your arms like a sperg at people to recover HP. Fucking kill me.

While there's a lot of dramatic events that happen throughout the story in XIV, none of it feels particularly grim dark to me? Like yeah there are a lot of devastating events that happen, especially prior to expacs, but in the end everything is usually hunky dory anyway.

I'm actually excited about ShB because it's at least going to be addressing the main overarching plot point that has been infused into the story since like 2.0 of
>You can't keep just steamrolling everything with light. You're eventually going to fuck things up and throw off the world balance.

Granted it's a bit overused in Square Enix games nowadays, but hey, it's better than Stormblood's story which felt like mostly filler so we could get to his point.

>should I level up beforehand so I can play GUN on launch or should I start as a level 1 in June and have to wait a week while leveling
gee, tough question brainlet

Stormblood was needlessly edgy in everything. Talk to the NPCs and the Garleans are painted as comically evil despite being incredibly incompetent in game.

So we contine where HW left. Great, SB really is the most useless shit ever.

Two of them are in ARR MSQ. There's the girl in Little Ala Mhigo who was gangraped by the Corpse Brigade, and the guy in Mor Dhona whose mother and sister committed suicide to escape a Garlean rape dungeon. There's also Arenvald's backstory.

The only thing you rightfully deserve is my cock in you, slut.

Imagine being at all worried about the 'threat' posed by a fucking WoW expansion in the Year of Our Lord 2019 in the post-Activision era

user, please. Your game is as creatively bankrupt as Metzen.

Attached: 58083219_p0.jpg (600x690, 172K)

XIV definitely isn't grimdark. It just has a gloomier, slightly grittier setting much like Ivalice. It doesn't go out of its way to be edgy, but also doesn't shy away from the harsh realities of the world.

you joke but there are people in-game that actually believe this. same with red mage and tanking.

Sometimes I feel like I'm the only person who liked the SB storyline. Like, I was waiting for these events ever since the ARR msq stuff in little ala mhigo.

Granted, I still do prefer HW and I could care less about Yotsuyu. I guess I was just surprised when I played the game and then read the reception to it.

I honestly hope she goes back to her older outfit. That looks just bad.

I think most people don't like it because while it's been a long time coming for stuff with Ala Mhigo, it obviously wasn't as pertinent to people as say, Ishgard was due to 1.0 reasons (seeing it in the distance etc).

Plus if you remove the story and just slap 5.0's story into it...it still makes sense and showcases how the game could've progressed anyway. To put it bluntly, freeing Ala Mhigo and Doma felt like side missions that distract you from the actual plot. Yes it heightens tensions between the Eorzean Alliance and Garlemald, but shit was already on edge anyway.

>Like, I was waiting for these events ever since the ARR msq stuff in little ala mhigo
I've been waiting for Ala Mhigo since 1.0, and that's exactly why I fucking hated SB. Ala Mhigo was the single most important location in the lore ever since the beginning, and they just totally glossed over it.
>taking of Ala Mhigo prompted the withdrawal of the Sharlayans, the creation of the Adventurers' Guild, and the beginning of beastmen fears
>Ala Mhigo as a staging point allowed for them to move on Mor Dhona, causing the Battle of Silvertear Skies, turning Mor Dhona into a wasteland and allowing for primals to be summoned
>the Amalj'aa and Ixal fear that the Eorzeans won't fight Garlemald because they let Ala Mhigo fall without a fight, and so summon their primals for the first time
>1.0's NPC partner is from Ala Mhigo and its their influence that dragged the player into the MSQ and Gaius for the first time
>Nael is given control of Ala Mhigo and uses it as the staging point for the Meteor Project
>Ultima Weapon is dug up from underneath Ala Mhigo
>Ala Mhigan refugees, primarily Ilberd, were the driving force that caused two fucking expansions to occur at all
And what did it get for all that hype and foreshadowing? Not a god damn fucking thing. You use it as the final dungeon and that's it.

>That thing blocking the male's left eye
But why though, it looks fucking awful and the female version doesn't have it. WHAT'S THE POINT

It's probably toggleable with /visor. But lorewise the Mhachi liked to use eyepatches for various reasons. In 1.0 they said it was fashionable to pluck out an eyeball and replace it with materia for more power. But that was recently retconned. Now they say it's because a lot of Mhachi voidsent had dangerous gaze attacks, so they were lessening the chance of getting fucked by your own pet. It also cuts down on distractions during battle so you can focus magic better.

It took me way too long to finally figure this out but the stupid fucking cloth can be /visor'd

I'm assuming you're on Primal? It's a shame that even with GC restrictions removed, every shitter has still remained on Maelstrom and turned off Freelancing so they can get carried by the actual PvPers.

I was a Primal Flame before I switched to Aether a year or so back. It feels really good to be able to queue into any team and have an equal chance of winning, rather than getting steamrolled on Primal if you aren't Mael (or Adders sometimes.)

If it's Matoya possessing her it's rather fitting since she lives in a cave

You are genuinely fucking retarded. They have done this since the launch of the game. They always show visorable assets this way.

Isn't that the same that Urianger wears?

So much fucking this. Ala Mhigo was such a disappointment. Also what the fuck was the point of the whole Kugane stuff in the first place? Literally whos doing literally who stuff and you just get involved. All for some weeb muh eastern alliance wet dream.

>Also what the fuck was the point of the whole Kugane stuff in the first place?
To make Garlemald fight a war on multiple fronts, and to prove that fighting them isn't pointless. You already knew Hien was planning a rebellion on his own because of when Gosetsu came to call Yugiri home, so you may as well have thrown yourself in to fuck Garlemald.

Yes, Urianger has become an AST.
They only showed off some.

No. Isn't shire gear equal if not better than shisui gear?

I guess it makes sense. Thancred is GUN and wears the GUN AF and Y'shtola is Sage and wears the Sage AF.

im on aether

Yes, I get that, but what's the point of introducing it even in the first place. It just dragged the story on for longer, introduced new characters (not necessarily a bad thing) and that's it. It is inconsequential for the story itself other than add some padding.

If I buy the game from Steam can I use my Steam wallet gift cards to pay for the monthly subscription. Or do you need a credit card?

That would be so fucking sad if they whisk her soul away again. Y'shtola was pretty cool in the 4.4 story.

Go fuck yourself and play with your blocks and legos, retard.

you can use your steam wallet for mogstation purchases or gametime.

Because if they held it for its own expansion, it would have just been the same rebellion story twice. What they should have done was extend the story or the post-story patches to give Ala Mhigo its own proper focus and done something with how important it's been since the beginning. For instance: Azys Lla was the Allagan weapons development area. So why the fuck was Ultima Weapon under Ala Mhigo? And what was the mystery primal that Gaius encountered there 20 years ago before primals could even be summoned?

That looks more like HW crafting gear or normal dungeon gear in general.

I wouldn't say it's inconsequential, it gave you some valuable allies in the fight against Garlemald.

oh an art shill thread

your drawings arent good dont bother

Thank you. Game looks fun. Jumping in.

huh? but on aether all the hardcore datahopping pvpers are on mael
Save for like one premade that's usually on adders

My main problem with the new AST set is that it looks way too similar to the old one

They should give it some kind of Greek aesthetic to fit how it's supposed to be Sharlayan.

the real problem is that the chestpiece looks almost identical to that one healer pvp set, and the headpiece to that one dungeon drop

Just keep in mind that the first dozens of levels are slow both gameplay and plot wise just like every Themepark game design MMO in existence. But if you can stick with it, it gets better through plot development and more skills/haste stats.

I wouldn't go that far, it still looks 'AST' to me, but it's VERY basic and it's obviously way too similar to their old set, which has the exact same silhouette. At least HW's was a big dress with a big hat and Stormblood's for males looked completely different.
It's like they didn't even try with this one.

They are trolling you. Leves are good though. Try to look for another leve if the one you're doing requires too much stuff from other crafting jobs.

Literally how? I can't get HQ because the low level gear sucks and I can't even get many materials because those materials can only be crafted by crafters I haven't leveled up yet. And if I do NQ turn ins I run out of leves way too fast

1-50 is the hardest part. The moment you can jump on moogle dailies you are set. It still takes awhile though.

It's a bugger for judging distances though!

Buy (HQ) from mb or have some omni crafter in your fc craft leve kit for you.

No joke, I have joined entire flame alliances where it turned out every person there was freelancing, we had a good laugh about that and asked around to see if there were any real flames present.

how do i get avoid getting freelancer'd in pvp?

You need to do the right leves. Look for delivery leves, the ones that start in a city and have you go out to another aetheryte camp. Typically you can do three turn-ins per leve with those.

turn off the freelance flag in duty finder settings.

What's a leve kit?

Even then I wouldn't be able to craft HQ shit so the amount of leves used double or triple

> 2Bunny

>Even then I wouldn't be able to craft HQ shit
You need the right rotation and HQ materials if you can get them. It gets a lot easier if you level others, but it's also not impossible if you don't.

replaces WAR for one expansion

I'm expecting it to be better designed than most Tanks, just like how RDM and SAM are 2 of the better designed DPS jobs. You can say whatever you want about RDM and SAM, but they're not bloated like some other jobs and everything in their kit works together pretty well

shitters named khaleesi squall to levelskip and have no idea what they're doing in 70-80 leveling dungeons

Are you on the spectrum? Genuine question.

They already made a XIV version of the Revolver as the AF, so there will probably be a Hyperion too. They've conveniently avoided making a Hyperion sword for PLD or DRK.

It should start at 60, so it might be like RDM and SAM in that regard. Start with the basic kit and get more procs and finishers on the road to 80.

don't you love it when the new jobs play so much better than the old jobs?

So why did Urianger call her Master Matoya in the teaser?

Because it's Master Matoya possessing Y'shtola's body, keep up.

He wasn't talking to her

Either it is a title or she is meatpuppet now.

Urianger isn't all there.

Being a title wouldn't make much sense since she's already called "Master".

More importantly, what in the gosh darn heck did they mean by this?

Attached: 1532945371043.jpg (1768x824, 106K)

Attached: 1348036075867.png (505x482, 260K)

It's tricky because it's just adding -sama in Japanese. So "Matoya-sama" would make sense as a title. Just like Kami-sama would be translated as "Master God" or some retarded shit like that, were it to be literally translated (which is not because it makes no sense in English).

This said, I'm pretty sure Master Matoya is not a title.

I'm thinking that Yshtola's constant use of aether to make up for her blindness weakened her so much that her soul can't return and Matoya will end up possessing sacrificing her own life to bring her back.

A+ armor design

I can only see Matoya doing that if it's for the purpose of making sure her empty meat doesn't get destroyed by something else. She cares too much about her to just use her as a meat puppet otherwise, and a soulless body doesn't age or degrade at all as seen by Niellefresne.

You could play on NA servers. It's not ideal for ping, but I play with a lot of European players that have stayed on NA servers since 1.0 and ARR before there were EU servers. They manage well enough.

basically what said. you are required to do a huge chunk of normal, non-dungeon questing to finish all the main story quests. it honestly shocks me how many people forget this because they probably did it already a long time ago and blocked out the memory (I don't blame you). literally every single person I've ever talked to who's a huge fan of XIV agrees the leveling experience is the worst of any non-korean obvious-grindfest MMO.

for doing old-content dungeons, yeah it's probably worse as a DPS, but just questing and shit is much faster.

Healer DPS in this game is actually pretty high, and you have heals to keep yourself alive for the slightly longer time it takes

It really doesn't matter, you can complete the MSQ effortlessly (or at least all the solo content) with any class as long as you aren't braindamaged.
Personally, I prefer WHM cause of high damage + healing, or RDM cause of overall survivability (once you get vercure). But, again, it doesn't matter.

>other than the obvious lie that your WHM does good dps against quest mobs
It's a fact, WHM is the best DPS healer class. It's not as good as other DPS in endgame (obviously, since it's a healer) but it's definitely the kind of healer you want in dungeons and group mob content spamming holy, stunlocking all the enemies, and keeping up both heals and group DOT with Areo II.

>it's not fun
What is not fun? Your job? Then play another job. It's literally the same whether you are killing monsters or are running dungeons. And no, if you're not doing DPS during dungeon runs then you are playing the healer wrong. Most dungeons before 60 (and a huge chunk of 60-70 dungeons too) the healer is just casting regen on the tank after a pull and then doing damage. Same for bosses. You almost never actually *heal* unless it's a raid, an 'oh shit' situation, or a big boss (extreme) trial.

Yes, you have to keep pressing buttons (casting spells) or you stop doing damage
The difference isn't 3k even in your wildest dreams on a single target fight (where the healer aoe can't be abused) that's maximally optimized

Nobody said it was fun, nigger. Read the reply chain.

If you want every Relic, that's 90 books, 9000 Poetics, 270 levequests, FATEs and dungeons, and 900 specific monster kills.

What other skills nigger? Oh, you mean the cool buff that makes me cast really fast that's on like a 3 minute cooldown? Sure it's fun to use but you'll only use it every like 15 pulls. Is that what really excites you, 8 seconds of excitement every 3 minutes? Ah, but I'm sure you're very familiar with exciting things lasting only a few seconds at a time, aren't you.

that would be trickier but yeah, it shouldn't be too much of a problem. It took me basically 5-6 months to get from 2.0 to 4.2 but I fucked around a LOT and did all the major optional content.

What fucking MSQ are you doing where you kill more than one group of enemies every half hour?

There are mods for an MMO? Don't they detect that as "hacks" and ban you? I know the TMog or whatever it's called in WoW is technically "hacks" and has a small chance of you getting banned if they detect you. How safe are mods in FFXIV?

Yes the difference is around 3k, look at some parses you retard. I only said it to put it in perspective of how much DPS less healers do compared to tanks in high end fights

It's all clientside and they have no way to detect it.

That's a really bad way to attempt to put things into perspective, and you're still wrong
Go look at some parses

They do but FF14 operates on a Don't Ask Don't Tell basis. So in your case, as long as you don't go around telling every catgirl you see "MMMM NUMMY YUMMY FEETSIE WEETSIES" and brag about the mod, you're fine.

>reading comprehension
>on Yea Forums

They also struggle doing quests as a healer so in surprised they manage to breathe

RDM, just like for anything else solo.

at no point was I ever talking about dungeons you braindead fuck. honestly I'm not even trying to meme when I say I've noticed a trend of people on Yea Forums who play FFXIV who have trouble reading. Everytime I talk about how you have to do MSQ on a healer and it takes forever, they say something like "just level a dps" or "why can't you do dungeons?" or some other stupid shit. I've yet to see a single one of you with any kind of basic comprehension abilities, which is probably why you tolerate this abortion of an MMO.

lmao okay, enjoy your game that you yourself don't find fun to play. why do you play, then?

I don't play healer. The point is that it isn't impossible to do, but that user was complaining that he couldn't finish the MSQ on healer.

Chill out retard
Go be productive and practice pressing your malefic button so you can finally beat that magitek colossus before it self destructs

But I like being a healer. It's fun in dungeons and group content. I don't like being forced to do the abysmal solo content on it, though.

>people are really complaining about it not being possible to do MSQ stuff as a healer
You guys don't even have cleric stance any more to actually do damage, and you get your own self-sustain during solo quests

What part of the story quest are you having trouble with? The fetch and delivery quest? The mandatory dungeons (apparently not since you just went on a full retard sperg about it)? The instanced content with NPCs backing you up? The overworld 2-3 enemy battles you have to fight 1 by 1 every 30 minutes or so?

If it's a combat-related problem, healers are amazing at DPS. If it's survivability against large groups of monsters, DPS are worse cause they can't heal themsevels.

I'm legit at a loss of words cause you're not making any sense. A healer is one of the best class to have to solo through the MSQ.

nice non-argument fuckwad, fourteenfags truly scrape the bottom of the barrel for intelligence.

Most solo content is walking around. You lose a minute or two in the occasional instance while saving 15min per dungeon. Stop being such a nigger.

Yeah I know
This guy who can't finish story quests as a healer is losing his mind

why is blue mage a limited job?

Link me the post that said it was impossible.
Don't waste your time - you won't find it because nobody has said it. MSQ as healer is needlessly painful and boring, not impossible.

dumbest post of the day award

Playing an astro and started Stormblood. Quests take forever because it takes 1-2 minutes to kill each mob. I have to ignore every single non-MSQ unless I want to just round up everything and spam my one AoE while staring at the other monitor. I'm not having "trouble" with it, per se - it's very easy. It's just not fun. I find dungeons fun as a healer, but the incredibly monotonous, boring, non-challenging one-button-rotation has me wanting to quit.

because it has a lot of moves and they are all optional

It hurts to live

It's about as boring as any other job. Hell, WHM gets it easy by getting a 200 potency spell so early

how do i get a body like that

Uh oh, it's a really big fan of some other game too.

>it takes 1-2 minutes to kill each mob

Get better gear, learn your rotations properly, learn to play the fucking game. You are obviously doing something wrong because this is not how the game works.

Once you play another role you'll realise that healer is best of both worlds
Tanks blow ass in solo play because you're just a shitty DPS but you still can't sustain yourself, and they're boring in party finder because class design
DDs are fun in solo play but you'll be waiting 10x longer to get dungeons going where the bottleneck will be the tank or healer anyways

>it takes 1-2 minutes to kill each mob
You're actually shit at the game

couldn't you swap to samurai?

At no point did I say I "couldn't" do it. As said, leveling a healer is easy but unnessarily tedious and boring - your damage rotation never matures like a normal DPS class does, so playing a high level healer is just as boring as playing a low-level DPS. You have one button, one dot, and a couple cooldowns that you can only use for a few seconds every 3-4 minutes. Why the fuck should I bother suffering through this just so I can do raids?

just don't play like a stereotype and everyone will ignore your race. People just like to make broad generalizations because 90% of the playerbase is fucking trash anyway. Just play whatever the fuck you want.

Shocking.

jesus fucking christ, every FFXIV i think i've seen it all and then some dumb nigger manages to set the bar for intelligence even lower. god damn fourteenfags have trouble with basic concepts, don't they?

(in case your smoothbrain doesn't realize what I'm talking about, it's the fact that other than a 30% exp boost, leveling another role does nothing for you, this isn't like WoW where you can change specs and keep your level).

> You have one button, one dot, and a couple cooldowns that you can only use for a few seconds every 3-4 minutes
I mean, you just increase the number of buttons you press by 1 or 2, and maybe add in an extra DoT and you've basically described every class.
I think you should just play a different game

the joke is that you're faking people out by appearing to be a bot but you're not

Same reason we might not get male bunnies because it would be "too wierd", despite their existence being established since XII.

I love Windurst and its surrounding area but i'd like a change of pace this time and want to start in Bastok, then again i really love Windurst so much.
Which one do i go with ?

windurst. crawler cocoons

Lorewise Windurst is better. They fucked themselves by waking up the Full Moon Fountain, but Bastok are a bunch of niggers killing Quadav for muh mythril.

San d'Oria

There's actually a few MSQ/Job quests that can fuck you up if you're burning through them instead of taking it slow and upgrading your gear. The Quirin on the Ziggurat tore my asshole open the first time I did that quest, had to actually think when I ran in the second time.

If you don't start in San d'Oria you're a cunt

that's precisely the problem, you kill enemies much slower as a tradeoff of having more health but nothing is threatening so it works out to you doing the exact same thing but in twice the time even after you've acquired your generic tank damage stance
and you still don't have enough sustain to solo fate bosses unless you're overleveled

>learn your rotations properly,
nigger can you try reading my post first? is there some upper limit for intelligence that prohibits anyone with basic reasoning skills from playing FFXIV? how am I supposed to learn a rotation when there is ONLY ONE BUTTON.
Here is the astro rotation:
>one single-target damage spell (or a single aoe damage spell)
>one dot on a 30 second duration
>cards (but they don't provide a noticeable buff while questing and don't change how you play at all, they're just something to distract you from how boring this all is)
>a couple of CDs that last a few seconds and won't be up for another 3-4 minutes
please help me understand what part of this one-button-rotation i'm having "trouble with," sempai-kun, because i would LOVE to fucking hear it

Who or what is Provenance Watcher in FF11's story? I remember seeing that webm where he was fighting Shinryu I think and it was pretty cool

maybe I want to play a healer instead smoothbrain

What's that mean? I haven't reached a point where I can try it.
