When does this shit get good? just hit level 3

>just hit level 3
lmfao

before u get exp bonuses, Lv3 takes a bit, but nothing too bad.
Lv4-5 seems to be an eternity.
ten u do some Lv5 MSQ/job quests, and then are stuck at Lv7 for a long ass time, as an eternity becomes worse to get to Lv10.

Finally at 10, now triple the eternity, to get to Lv15, and FINALLY it picks up in speed, with PotD, and leveling roulette.

the worst part of the game is Lv4-14.
(unless u have a friend to power level you, but even then, w/o exp bonuses, it can take over an hour to get to Lv15.)

ugh here are the raid trannies mad that you can do more than just spam the same rotation on the same enemies for a million hours...

level 4

So you played for a collective 3 mins?

That depends entirely on what you want to do with the game.

So now you're agreeing with them on its lack of combat mechanics?

make up your mind user, is it perfect or not?

I forced my self to go through this boring shit stain of a game and as said as it may sound it gets good at Level 50 once you start heavsward. I'm not saying its justified but its just how it is.
ARR is trash and boring, Heavnsward and Stormblood are much more entertaining to actually play through. I literally quit this MMO three times before I finally forced myself to get to HW at the least then had fun and leveled all my crafters/gatherers too.

Yes and no. Its nice they didn't cater but because in the first play they did cater to raid autists etc and shitty WOW players BLU wasn't playable.
I agree BLU is good in that capacity but FFXIV fucked itself from the get go, there wouldn't have to have been concerns with BLU if XIV didn't attract autists in the first play like it set out too.

(By attract autists I mean ARR).

is she still in her jail cell or did they decide to do anything with her yet?

sad, bud

"raid autists" has nothing to do with why they didnt originally make BLU.
They didnt make it, because it would require a lot of work on their part, and this was the laziest way to implement it.
"Shitty WoW" has class specs, and classes like Druid, with its own play style (and copy play styles) and is able to be every role.
Death Knights had a custom enchanting system.
Hunters leveled up and customized pets.

FFXIV doesnt do any of that, due to laziness.
Not because "raid autists".

The very fact BLUs endgame is shit, and it has no actual combat mechanics prove it was just laziness.
They wanted to test the waters, and hid behind the argument "well, we gave you what you wanted, so its your fault" as a back up, in case people werent happy with it.

a thread is just a page in the book of Yea Forums, how many pages have you read?

Still figuring out if I'm just a bad healer or if these tanks are jerks.

Try to keep your gear up-to-date going through 60-70. A bunch of people I've been with have kept the Shire gear well past its prime.

Most games have more going on in them than clicking on objects on a screen to increase values in a spreadsheet. But MMOs are literally, go here, collect X amount of Y, click on enemies or items until a skill goes up, occasionally click a ability button, rinse and repeat forever until you die.

>They didnt make it, because it would require a lot of work on their part, and this was the laziest way to implement it.
They didn't make it in the first place because they had a very clear idea of what they wanted BLU to be from the get-go (and that apparently they would not compromise on), and their idea for BLU was incompatible with the entire rest of the game. The limited-job concept in general is deciding "fuck it" and giving it to us anyway, but fencing it off from the WoW-like endgame to avoid even needing to balance it in comparison to other jobs.
>FFXIV doesnt do any of that, due to laziness.
It's not WoW, nor did it ever intend to be. You're also still subscribed, so there's that.

WTF

Play Palace of the Dead instead of dungeons if you want quick EXP. It gets soul-crushing but you won't be waiting at least. Also WAR's axe is the only one you need to upgrade at all, Arbert's Bravura has the bloodstain on it that marks it as its first-upgrade recolor.

Combination of both, probably.
Watch out for DRKs though, they're either unkillable or unhealable.
The majority of tanks are just pure trash though.

Start Holy-Aero3-Aero2-Assize-Holy, then just be prepared to Cure II like a motherfucker and judge from there. Holy should catch the important first stuns.

Zoomers truly destroyed this board.

a little of both, probably
some of the stormblood leveling dungeons hit pretty fucking hard (the first part of bardam's especially) but if you're properly geared you should be able to handle it if the tank is using cds correctly and not going too crazy
that's a pretty big if though, honestly

BLU is already balanced with other jobs at level 50, although that's probably completely by accident.

there's at least 1 pull in the 65 and 67 dungeons thats nearly impossible to heal through if your gear isnt 100% up to date, along with the tanks gear, and tif they arent using CDs, followed by DPS actually doing good DPS. (unless they pull small, then its just slightly hard)

Theres a few other pulls that are pretty hard, but unless u get unlucky, with a bunch of Crits/Dhits from enemies, all in a row. (which happens more times than you'd think)
These are mostly near the start of the 65, 67, and 69 dungeons. past that, the rest of the dungeon is far more easier, even if under geared.

if you had trouble with the Lv61, and 63 dungeons, and it was the random dumb mistake, then you may need to think of ways to improve. (even under geared as my healer, and my tanks, who mass pulled, no CDs, was fine with spam heals in those 2 dungeons.)

Guess I'll try it some more, since I might not be totally off base. It's not even party healing, I'll burn every CD I have just single target healing the tank and just can't keep them up.

THERES BARELY ANY GOOD PORN FOR THIS GAME!!! WHAT THE FUCK GUYS. YOU GUYS DO ALL THIS ERP SHIT BUT YOU CAN MODEL OR CREATE ANY LEGIT GOOD PORN? THE ONLY PORN THATS OUT ARE FOR MISHITOTES AND CRAPPY SFM ONES. COME ON PEOPLE!

I think the one that gave me the most trouble was Castrum Abania at 69, the entire first pull. You end up with an iron giant, a gunship, and like 10 soldiers, and I just couldn't heal through it.

Attached: 1552446198364.jpg (1912x2500, 3.01M)

Only retards drag the giant into that pull. That pull can be touch and go depending on the tank WITHOUT the giant.

A lot of it does come down to a combination of things.
Primarily: Tank Gear + Tank Cooldown usage.
Proper cooldown usage can mitigate having mediocre gear.
Having medicore gear can mitigate not using cooldowns.
Using both means the healer can focus on DPSing and makes the dungeon go faster.

But a general rule of the thumb is... if a tank isn't using cooldowns, then you're not at fault. At level 50, every tank has sufficient cooldowns to cycle through to be continuously having mitigation available for each pull.
For reference, I did Bardam's Mettle as Dark Knight in Shire gear just to see what it was like, and it's still possible with decent cooldown usage.

What having decent Healer gear does just makes the difference between being able to do DPS or not. You can heal a tank through anything with shitty healing gear if you just spam Cure on them. You'll run out of mana, but it's still doable.

They did compromise on its design. Even the leaker said as much.
The interviews showed what they compromised on, and its limited state is a factor of compromise.
but, that aside, they could still make it work, hence why i brought up the next point.

I know its not wow, i brought up how you can balance a job like BLU, while letting it have all its toys. (the example being how wow balances a multi role class, rather than just saying fuck it, and not letting druids into raids)

also, im not subbed. I wasnt subbed shortly before BLU was announced limited. Lost my HW DRK playstyle, and RDMs playstyle was just enjoyable/relaxing enough, that I stayed a while to help friends, but got bored and quit, waiting for an interesting playstyle in a tank/healer. (Not a fan of DPS usually, BLM, DRG, and RDM being the more enjoyable of the DPS to me.) But after seeing the lazy shit they pulled with limited BLU, I sure as hell wont sub back again, unless they actually make something im interested in, rather than more of the same crap.

I did the same but never found it got any better even after HW and Stormblood

Why does Yea Forums get so triggered over Lalafells? This is the first MMO I ever actually got into, is it the same for every small race in other games?

>I know its not wow, i brought up how you can balance a job like BLU, while letting it have all its toys. (the example being how wow balances a multi role class
You don't even need to make BLU a multi role class. That's something it's only been in FFXI. It's usually a physical support mage, which is what it is now in XIV. Its tanking and healing abilities are not unheard of on dps (Titan, Fists of Earth, Vercure, Verraise). And they aren't even powerful enough to justify locking them out. BLU can't actually tank or heal worth a damn. White Wind is only powerful in specific circumstances and it's not something you can spam because of the MP cost. As far as tanking goes, they have mage HP and low defense mage armor, plus the MP cost on Diamondback and the complete lack of damage at all while in Mighty Guard.

Because 4channel has never tolerated pedophiles.

Good tanks know when it's possible to pull a large amount of mobs and will attempt to do so because it helps speed up a run. If you're not prepared it can be overwhelming, but keep in mind that you should be using CD if that happens.

If somebody attempts a mass pull and it doesn't work then you should be open about slowing down. There are a bunch of extenuating factors that go into successfully tanking/healing a large pull, but most of it comes down to gear and skill.

I made the mistake of joining mateus long ago because I thought XIVg was a nice beginners place, but no. it's cancer in every regard and it shows especially on their Novice Network. These fucking people will go nuts if you say anything even slightly 'rude'. These butthurt sensitive motherfuckers. I need a really good server filled with good players and non-cancerous people

>White Wind is only powerful in specific circumstances
"Whenever the BLU casting it is at full HP" isn't very specific

>4channel

Move to New-Aether for free when the world expansion happens. Starts on the 23rd.

Coeurl, Exodus, Diabolos, unironically Balmung if you can somehow manage to get onto it

yeah the giants in both that and the 67 dungeon make things hard, as they are nearly a pack in themselves, and as a WHM, u may run into trouble, if it keeps targeting u with cleaves, and u need to move whiel healing. (and ull waste all ur CDs just trying to keep the tank up prior)

yeah, for me, if i was undergeared, and so was the tank, most pulls went as follows;

they are at full HP, with regen up.
I start casting cure1, and right before it finishes, they are at 50% hp, I get them up to 80%, and start casting cure2, noticing how much dmg they took.
finish casting, and they are now at 70%
start casting cure2 before i see what hp they were at, because once it finishes, they are at 60%
at 50% i hit up a oGCD to try and bring them up a tiny bit more. (depending on which oGCD)
regen wears off, and they start dieing REAL quickly, and i learned the hard way, dont spend a single GCD putting regen back up, because they instantly die before im half way into another GCD.
I start using more oGCDs, and then they died anyways.

So either they need more mitigation, the DPS need to kill quicker, or a combination of both. (if we were max geared, though this hardly happened once we were both equally well geared, unless they pulled a giant with the rest of the packs, and i was WHM with little oGCD heal options, while being targeted by cleaves too often.)

loli/pedo bait which is whatever
but the majority of the players of them are what give credence to that argument

I view it the same way I view ERP:
Couldn't give a shit as long as I can feign ignorance of it.

Attached: 1548364078690.gif (540x368, 1.51M)

Any time a raidwide heal with that cost would be justified, especially when it requires pausing from dps, it's because the whole raid just took damage. Meaning the BLU is not at max HP. And on any mechanic that lowers you to single digit HP it's less than worthless.

Got it, thanks a bunch

>monogatarishit
Shittest of taste.

Lalafells players are the biggest degenerates in the series, and Lalafell NPCs are the Jewish merchants of the series.

Both

Two groups at once is usually the normal, if you can't keep up with that then you got a problem.

>using cure 1 at all
It's better just to spend a gcd on stone or holy until they get the full benefit from cure 2. Even though technically cure 1 is not mana efficient, lucid dreaming and assize on cool down. Regen 100% uptime>ogcds >cure two is primarily how you should be healing a single target

If you can, just try and save tetra for the regen refresh to put a half decent heal in with the GCD gap.

>biggest degenerates

I'm not so sure about that, considering the large amounts of festering mental illness lizards have

>cure 1 is not mana efficient
More mana efficient *

Don't bother with Cure 1. Always go for Cure 2.
And don't forget to use Benediction, it's not just for "OH SHIT" moments. If the tank is dying REALLY fast, what I like to do if the tank is taking a big whalloping is:

Largesse before pull > Regen + Swiftcast > Holy (Instant) + Eye for Eye > Medica 2 > Wait for Regen HoTs to disappear with interimittent Cure 2s and DPSing > ... > Medica 2 Refresh > Regen Refresh + Benediction IF the tank's health is still dropping like a rock and they need topped up during the time it took you to cast.

No tank SHOULD be dying this fast, but it happens from time to time. If the pack still isn't dead, blame DPS for being shit since they'll have had 60 seconds to kill it.

is summoner fun?

What server do you hate the most and why?

I'll start.
Fuck you Jenova and you passive aggressive fucks!

In theory? Yes.
In execution? Eh... pets are a nightmare. The whole thing with Bahamut is that you get bonus damage from Wyrmwave - except that if Bahamut moves at all then he wont use Wyrmwave.
Also getting Garuda to use Contagion is fucking awful.

>raid trannies talking about dps'ing, stone, and holy
Nah its not my job to dps. I'll stick with cure 1 for the procs thanks

How would you guys feel about Cure 1 if it had a 1s cast time (recast time unchanged) and the Freecure proc chance was increased to 50%?

Holy is for the stun you fucking retard.
This is how I can tell you're shit.

It really says something about Lalafell when they're more degenerate than mentally ill trannies.

Try reading your tooltips you dumb nigger

Where the hell did this tranny comment come from?

>Swiftcast > Holy (Instant)
Just no, you go to where the tank is expected to group everything drop Asylum and do
>Holy-Aero3-Aero2-Assize-Holy-Holy
2nd Holy should land shortly after the first stun duration has worn off and an immediate 3rd will do the same again for a full holy stun duration, just decide if you have the time for the 3rd on how fucked the tank got up to this point.
E4E is during the collection run.
Then you regen - Tetra and start curing/thrwoing stones.

i think yoshi and the rest just gave up and started to produce crap and put a shiney bow tie on it so us cucks can fall for it. i stoped play main game before thw prelude patch came out. shit just too boring. evem with all the shit to so it's still boring as fuck. nothing new is coming out that holda any interest. i wish i could tell you that ota get better but it really doesn't. it only has moments that are decent and ceap inbetween.

>Implying you western raid trannies aren't constantly obsessing about muh dps and muh ff logs
JP players can actually clear hard contest because tanks focus on tanking and healers focus on healing

There is a tranny issue in the game however. So many of them cause so much fucking drama. Inside and out the game.

Nice bait. Stop giving this guy (you)s

user, this isn't for setting up for a standard pull. This is how to heal a tank who is actively trying to fucking kill themself and you're using everything in your power to prevent it.

>being correct is bait
Orange logs won't make you a woman

it was mostly an example. i dont bother touching cure1 anymore. ive changed how i deal with it, pretty much start with regen, then swift cast holy., start a set up, and cure2 bomb.
this of course takes away an instant cast in case i get targeted too much from aoes, but that was only an issue when undergeared.
back then it was impossible for a tank to survive 2 GCDs, so waiting the full cast bar of holy was always an instant kill on the tank, putting up holy 1st, and then regen was a bit risky as well, due to needing to wait for all the enemies to get into range, and having no heal up on the tank. so i ended up swifting the holy anyways.

starting with regen lets some of it tick while im in the GCD from a swift holy.

this was 100% impossible to do, i had to weave a oGCD nearly every 3rd spell, to keep a tank for dieing, i didnt have the luxury to hold an emergency heal on those i230 tanks in a Lv67 dungeon, pulling giants with packs. (and DPS who barely do any DPS at all, because they apparently didnt pick up the MSQ gear or some shit either. I can only assume they were all on alt jobs.)

Correct me if I'm doing it wrong as a healer. But I'd swiftcast Holy -> medica 2 -> Regen -> aero 3 -> aero -> Holy spam till I need heals again.drop asylum when off cooldown

Yes, and every tank will survive up to that decision of 3rd Holy or Heal regardless of gear and CDs.

Lvl 60-70. End of the main quest of the main game on lvl 50 is indeed good tough as other user said it

I've never had too much trouble with big pulls as WHM. My routine is just Largesse > Asylum > Regen > Divine Benison > Cure 2 depending on how damage tank is already taking > Prescence of Mind > Holy x2 > tetra > Holy > Cure 2 spam > the "Oh Shit" button, benediction, for last resort. PoM + cure 2 spam can save anyone, it is WHM best skill because spell speed is what is killing your tank.

>medica 2
Why?

>It's not WoW, nor did it ever intend to be.
It is when you compare original FF14 to ARR. They made damn near the entire game like WoW.

Extra heals? Am I doing it wrong? You can say things other than one word answers.

Holy is for the stun while also doing a bit of AOE dps. You're really bad at this game for not realizing that.

see

What's wrong with medica 2 it's literally don't worry about it extra heals?

You only heal as much as needed to keep the party alive and moving, otherwise use your mana for DPS. It's a balancing act that you'll shift depending on how good your party is at surviving on their own as well as killing mobs.

It's useless when regen is good enough and you want to conserve that MP for cure 2 spam/other shit.

Extra healing is not required in this game. As a tank main I'll tell you right now that the biggest pain in my ass are the healers that over heal for no reason in savage and extremes(the medica 2 spamming whm will draw aggro 2x faster than a decently parsing dps with no diversion) , and even in dungeons when they constantly want to make sure everybody has medica 2 and regens and will rip aggro from me if they cast a single damage spell even after several aoe enmity moves. Over healing causes extra threat generation get into the habit of healing as needed.

And as a ast/whm off main I'll tell you that it's not hard to keep the party topped off without spamming medica 2. Use medica at raid wide damage.

When I said I used oGCDs to keep them alive, i meant PoM as well. (Followed by cure2 spamming)
and Largasse as well.

USUALLY a tank didnt die when those were up, but it HAS happened twice.
Once because the tank couldnt dodge a single AoE, and it was too much to keep them alivbe through standing in multipel AoEs during heavy auto attack dmg.
Second due to just bad luck on crits/DHs from 4 sources all at once. (They were even at full HP during the cast animation, and died as the animation went off. no oGCD was gonna save them. But it was funny to see.)

Here's a better answer:
Medica 2 only offers 700 potency worth of healing per person hit with it, the same amount as Cure II. The difference is Cure II casts faster and it costs less mana, so you'd be better to just use Cure II at an appropriate time.

For comparison's sake, Regen does a total of 1,050 healing potency for LESS mana than a Cure II.

So the point is... Medica II's return on healing is lackluster and a waste of mana. Unless you're healing 2+ people with it, it's a strict loss.

I've literally never had a problem with doing that. It sounds like your tanks are just dumb and didn't use their shit.

It serves no real purpose other than to needlessly generate enmity. The regen and heal is fuck all on single target (Regen being literally 3x the regen ticks of Medica II). If everyone is dying to shit or taking damage, go nuts. But even then I'd sooner Cure III them all.

what did Yoshi mean by this

Attached: 1548565041867.jpg (800x1200, 132K)

spbp

What if I just don't wanna pay attention and just not switch targets for healing? Wouldn't medica 2 suffice?

actually sometimes its RNG, and my lack of swift being up.
been targeted by multiple aoes, so i was in a constant state of moving for 3 or so seconds, leaving me to stop, start casting, and tank died before cure2 finished. (regardless of which buff i had up)

RNG can fuck ya quite a bit, and the more mobs there are in a leveling dungeon, the more chances that kind of RNG can happen (due to more ground AoEs)

I just tell people to treat leveling dungeons differently from Lv cap dungeons, unless they know everyone is geared up/friends.

Tough shit or keep being terrible I guess.

A better question for WHM healing: Targeting options.

F1 keys?
Mouseover macros?
Just fucking clicking on the name?

>my lack of swift being up.
This is the 2nd reason you don't swift holy.

they mean in a raid situation mostly.
there's times its ok, but mostly pre-emptive healing raid dmg.

medica2 the tank, or cure2 the tank, both are 1 GCD, but one generates more threat.

just pick and choose when you're gonna do it, based on the situation and threat generation.

>I just tell people to treat leveling dungeons differently from Lv cap dungeons, unless they know everyone is geared up/friends.
They can be treated exactly the same, the only difference is the margin for error because of gear inflation.

I main SCH and use mouseover macros exclusively and I imagine it'll be great for WHM too

How do we stop the WoWfugees?

>swift
lol. What the fuck are you using swift on?

That's my point. That's why I tell them to treat them differently.
If they fuck up too much, they cant handle it, like a Lv cap dungeon. (which most ppl i know watch netflix during a Lv cap dungeon.)

So if I'm planning to wait until Shadowbringers comes out to get any expansions(because fuck paying 40 dollars twice), is there anything I can do in advance to make it easier to speed through Heavensward and Stormblood?

usually Holy, since the tank would die during its cast animation too often. (roughly 1 in 4 pulls, they died during the cast of Holy.)
IMO, the risk was worth it, the number of times they died from me being targeted too much, vs them dying before i get a slightly longer cast off was just too drastic. (the alternative was wasting a tetra or something of that kind.)

Medica II still doesn't accomplish that very well. It only gives 1/3rd the amount of healing that Regen gives over a longer period of time.
What you'd really want to do in this case would be to just set up a macro for Cure II, Tetra, Bene, Regen, etc so that you don't need to take your target off your enemy.
What does is casts that attack on your target's target: which if you're targetting an agro'd mob, should be your tank.
However, macros aren't perfect and you can't queue them up so be aware of that.

I should also mention, the other folks giving you advice aren't giving you strictly good advice. What they're saying isn't wrong, but you're clearly not interested in being a super great healer so it's pointless.
If you just keep on doing what you are doing now, you'll be more than good enough to clear any casual content, and even some Extreme fights. Just don't go anywhere near Savage or you'll have a very bad time.

Is this game free yet?

small party list just off centre and clicking

My point was they're no different, it just makes 'skill' more apparent.
Levellling dungeons are the best place to learn how to do it.

cap poetics, i guess
you could also level your crafters/gathers since 1-50 is by far the most time intensive part and it's not like you can do anything else

Counterpoint because Medica 2 is shit on way too hard in these threads: Medica 2 is still the most MP efficient heal in WHM's tool kit. It especially shines in raid content where Medica 2 + Assize is enough to cover most party-wide damage.
Medica 1 in comparison is one of the least MP efficient heals in your kit and should honestly be avoided if possible. Proper planning for an encounter can help change many of your Med 1 casts into Asylums or Assizes, or multiple Med 1s into a single Med 2 or Cure 3. Med 1 used to have a half MP trait that made it somewhat more effective, but that has been removed.
In dungeons, using Med 2 on trash pulls is one less GCD and potentially wasted MP you could you could have used for Holy spam. BUT, having Med 2 up while burning trash helps for dps that stand in those random aoes that get tossed out, whether intentionally or not. A melee needing to get out of range or a BLM being forced to move is a big dps loss so having a HoT up on everyone just lets them sit comfortably inside those aoes. Then they can pop second wind and let the hots tick them back up to full.

I only use that rotation in leveling dungeons. I'm perfectly okay in savage.

Don't use swift on holy. You also need to get out of the mindset of wasting tetra, it is one of your shortest cooldowns and taking advantage of it doesn't cause any problems unless you are ultimate raiding or shit.

There's nothing wrong with using Swiftcast for whatever you want so long as you know what you're doing.
As a SCH, I use Swiftcast to pre-shield Tanks who are blazing through dungeons.

>Medica 2 is still the most MP efficient heal in WHM's tool kit.
Except the CONTEXT of the discussion is levelling dungeons and it being used as single target healing.

Level 50

Buffer for DPSes not dodging AoEs or Tanks not using CD

Yeah, but that doesn't make it efficient, that makes it good for absolute shitter parties in places where people can get hit without dying

>DPS eating shit
Regen/Tetra/Asylum/Assize
>Tanks not using CDs
Cure IIx1321468547651463

50 pot regen from Medica II is not worth it in those situations

>Counterpoint
Countering what? We're discussing using Medica 2 in the context of healing just a tank and no-one else, despite the fact that I said in my post that Medica 2 is fine when being used on 2+ targets that need healed.

But even then you're also wrong. Having Medica 2 up on trash pulls for retarded DPS players who stand in AOEs still isn't good since that 700 potency is done over 30 seconds, which is an enormous amount of time for them to just eat 2 or 3 more AOEs. Medica 2 is only good for when 2+ people need healing over an extended period of time when they aren't expected to be taking more damage. But even then, it eats a GCD to do healing that could have been better accomplished with a Star or Indom/Whispering Dawn.

Even with a bad tank I don't see how you can struggle to heal them as a WHM. I could understand getting behind on something like a SCH, but WHM just has so much raw healing that it really shouldn't be an issue.

Would any BLMs mind posting their hotbars?

I'm picking the class up after leveling it to 60 back in the horrid gap between 3.0>3.1. A bunch of stuff has changed since then though, and I don't know how to structure its abilities around the 3x4 button grid on my Razer Naga. Every other class has skills numbered from 1-3, and only BLM has 3 (plus a bunch of situational-bordering-on-superfluous stuff like Sleep/Scathe/Blizz2) which is fucking me up.

Well that was the question, which I asked. From reading the responses, I've determined it's mostly shitty tanks that are overpulling and not using cooldowns.

mine are 1-6 and m3/4/5 with shift/ctrl/alt modifiers by bar but eh

The ironic thing is that WHM's "raw healing" isn't even that special. Diurnal AST matches WHM in literally every aspect except for Cure 3.

So does ur mom's puss

>Dps ever standing in stars
You would think that after 2 fucking years people would finally realize that it's friendly but just a few hours ago I had 2 melee that were actively trying to dodge it.

how do you have m buttons
I just got a mmo mouse for the first time and I have to map the keys to ctrl+1/2/3 etc, very annoying
never used a mouse like this before

I suppose I'm thinking about it from the perspective of a WHM that has already used, or is planning to soon use, their Tetra on the tank, as you won't have it for the dps in that case. And you already know that the BLM or SMN sitting in the back won't be running up to your Asylum anytime soon, at least not in a trash pull.

>1.0 is shit! sure it had a true open world but it was so ugly and had copy pasted textures!

3 is middle mouse click, 4/5 are forward/back
I don't use a gaming mouse but yours should've come with software that binds them to keyboard keys, most use numpad to bind to. So they'd show up as whatever the software bound them as.

When did anyone claim 1.0 had a true open world?

Rescue their ass.

Hotbar in red is located next to my party list, it's not really for BLM and more for targetting other players with other jobs.

Blizzard 1-3 on 1 key
Thunders on 2 key
Fire 1-3 on 3 key
Flare is on Ctrl 4 because it matches with Fire 2, which is Ctrl 3. Don't have to release Ctrl if I'm using Flare after some F2s.
Fire 4 is on E since it's easy to push and you push F4 a lot.
Blizzard 4 is on Q since it's the opposite of Fire 4, and has symmetry with the 1 and 3 keys.
Foul is on F because F to pay respects.
oGCDs are placed in comfortable positions that flow well in my opener (for example, Triplecast and Sharpcast are both on the Ctrl key because I like to open with them both activated when i PUG BLM).

Gonna have to have a think about how I'll structure mine to make use of the naga (I'm used to using Ctrl/Alt/Shift modifiers but I have some hard baked in muscle memory for certain things, like Shift+5 = "Swiftcast" due to hotbar clutter when I played early on)

Lalas are interesting because they made a capitalist/mercantilist nation in a fantasy world that is not automatically portrayed as villains. They are also contrasted to western fantasy dwarves because they are rich and powerful, but not overflowing with masculine characteristics.

But a small pudgy potato isn't sexy to me.

Diurnal Sect gives AST a passive 10% healing boost, which more than makes up for the slight difference in potencies.

nobody cared about the copied textures, they cared about the fact that there was like 4-5 premade terrain tiles per zone copied and rotated in various combinations

I manually click on player models in the field (Or use assist target on enemies to target tanks) and only watch their healthbars over their heads. I absolutely hate watching HUDs like a hawk in case of damage spikes. This has some issues when there's too many effects or adds on the field though.

I haven't really overhauled it since forever, the best I did was clean up some buffs by moving them to the number pad. Later on I situated Enochian just above the number pad on a bar to itself since most of the time I only click it once per fight. Number for first row, number+shift for second, number+alt for third, which are more rarely used spells.

I really wish I could replicated my old WoW setup when I played in vanilla, I used macros to generate a double button (IE, cast fire when pressing 1, holding shift and pressing 1 casts ice), then used the mouse wheel to swap out hotbars on the fly (IE, first hotbar for when I'm in Astral Fire, second for when I'm in Umbral Ice, third for when I'm in AoE mode). If I were able to do it in XIV, I could double the number of buttons available to me while also removing two bars from my screen, reducing visual clutter.

Are good relations between service game devs and players even possible anymore?

I don't heal in savage and above because I hate healing. My ideal MMO wouldn't have health bars or a HUD at all, healers would have some visual cue when they needed to heal, though with all the effects in XIV, it'd be damn near impossible to see.

The fact that people had the whole BLU spellbook save for Primal abilities unlocked in a day tells me that you're full of shit and likely don't even play the game.

Funnily enough, Yoshida used to be seen as a fantastic director because he actually put up polls and directly interacted with the OF to find out what people wanted, because he was trying to be better than Tanaka. Now he has just become Tanaka.

I have a handful of close friends and an FC full of people to play with when the expansion drops, we will be taking lengths to avoid duty finder for a while, I still remember all those haukke runs with hopelessly retarded dark knights back in HW, its going to be even worse with clueless 60 tanks

Tanaka is a god compared to y*shi

To be fair, you can say the same thing about Savage content because the last three raid tiers have all been cleared within a day of release.

People continue to play Savage 6+ months after it was released. BLU hasn't been played since January.

They also screeched and howled for gay marriage shit and was right alongside the faggots pestering yoshi for "male" bunny outfits

To the majority of players the dev-player relations are good enough, via Fanfest/Live Letters and typically following up on player complaints in the following expac in one way or another. For XIV though I think ignoring the players on most issues is the better choice when the issue is "we cannot please everybody no matter what choices we make", and it's up to their team to sort out what is just whining or borderline begging (i.e. "lazy") and what is criticism or suggestions to take into consideration in the future.

They are taking and implementing feedback. Just not from shitty westerners that are currently going on and on about muh bunny boys.

didn't really go against anything and was probably planned anyways, there's that fag hyur/miqote pair in arr associated with the nym dungeons and they don't mention any special discrimination for being fags just for being interspecies

I straight-up leave the fucking party if I see healers who don't even apply their DoTs and they're above level 30. If I wanted a heal bot I'd go do fucking command missions.
If they aren't a sprout and they're exclusively spamming cure 2 or adlo, they deserve to be kicked. That's brain-damaged levels of ignorance.

yes but those can still be done weekly and only the most stubborn autists will be done within the first week, for a lot of people, there is a progression period and after you beat the tier, you come back each week for loot, then when its unlocked and echo is added, everyone jumps in, even people who normally don't raid, this is months after release

You sure? I don't recall that. I do know there is a bunch of fag jokes likely due to localization (stupid sexy roegadyn)

Currently doing that for alts. Is it better just go as far as you can or do you repeat floor 51?

As a Tank main, GUB being 60 is going to be so shit, just cause people who suck at tanking are gonna be able to pick it up.
Why are there are no good ways to prevent idiots from tanking.

I can't fucking wait to see how they will fuck up healers this time.

Yeah, they're a couple and call each other 'love' and stuff like that. They tell you they were exiled from their village for being interracial.

honestly it doesn't get good. i've sunk considerable time into the game and in the end all of the classes and all of the patches are the same. their progression model is awful, and the plastic world and "YoU aRe WoRLd SaViOuR" storyline isn't worth slogging through to get to the end.

Savage raids contribute gear and can be played in any way you want. BLU is a minigame with less relevance than Triple Triad.

honestly I just hope the changes in May are exciting, I can't help but think I will unsub shortly after I finish the MSQ, I haven't got the time to raid with a static anymore so there won't be much to keep me online
I could just PF savage, but I hear those can be a massive waste of time, even if you are carefully avoiding trap parties

They're dolts that think wearing anything that covers the body is feminine. Everything that isn't skintight looks great to me on a male roe (dragonlancer/DRG AF2, etc)

What's an entertaining DPS job? I just came back and I don't remember how to play RDM, and I remember it was starting to bore me when I left. Don't feel like Tanking or Healing any time before Shadowbringers.

Monk seems like a fun choice though, how is it?

oh no the game doesn't align with the politics on my sleeve i can't be caught playing this cuck shit anymore

>Savage raiding has staying power because you can grind gear that becomes obsolete in six months!

I mean, for the majority of players, you're right, but I really wish you weren't. People playing for tiny loot increments instead of clears are one of the things killing modern MMOs, people think all content has to be "farmed" rather than having just a lot more content in total where clearing it once gives you access to the stuff it'd drop permanently.

PF Savage isn't that bad with the echo active. There's tons of learning parties up and those tend to funnel away the people who are legitimately new.
There's still baddies that die to every little fucking thing and it's not as bad as PF groups when O9S first dropped.

Slow.

I'm fine if they are trying to maximize, but if they aren't holding the aggro, just man up and take the DPS loss. Faggots might not be using aggro mitigation, but them being dead is gonna slow things down far more than your ~300 dps loss.

Don't play MNK if you're looking for a good time, directionals will make you want to blow your fucking brains out.

>Tons of fun until you start trying to optimize
SMN, DRG, BRD

MNK, MCH

MNK is for attacking fast and dealing sustained DPS (unfortunately its lv. 70 meta rotation revolves around sacrificing your speed almost constantly and it's a huge DPS loss if you don't this isn't to say MNK's DPS isn't high regardless), SAM is for BIG DICK IAI but becomes kind of a sword version of MNK once it hits 70, DRG is Weaving: The DPS Job, NIN is for being a Trick Attack support-slave
BLM is for staying still as long as possible and dealing the biggest dickest damage in the game, SMN is for having a panic resurrect with a self-fellating magic-vulnerability debuff and being more mobile than BLM, RDM is for being a resurrect-slave and a very janky off-healer
BRD is for being a support-slave (STACK AS MUCH CRIT AS POSSIBLE), MCH is awful and I do not recommend it

I hope they at least make AST their own thing instead of WHM with rdps contributions.
A redesign of the cards so they are more interesting that "fish for AoE Balance" would be nice.

I'm more talking about savage raiding in Eden, although I haven't tried raiding in PF now, I only recently broke off from my static
also I don't really know certain terminologies, like reading 012s, I don't know what unreal or fennik strats are, or the line strat in O9s, so I'm a bit in the dark, my static used to do a couple of things differently to maximise uptime

It ain't politics to think fags are disgusting. That's what 90% of the world thinks, and its a bit odd a fictional one where race mixing is looked down upon doesn't have "homophobia" as well.

I want to quit MCH, but when everything procs it feels so damn good. 5.0 will fix it, r-right?

Oh great, I hope they make each of the healers truly unique and groups function entirely different based on which healers they've got
>since according to him, trying to balance the HoT healing and shield healing is a pain in the ass
Well fuck, better prepare for homogenization. I'm at the point where I don't care about which healer/tank is best for what content, I just want groups to play in their own unique way based on who they have.

I swear, if every healer gets a generic HoT and barrier ability, I'll throw a tantrum or something. If they do something like nerf the shit out of AST's card draws, the one major unique thing that the three healers have between them, I'll be absolutely livid though.

>NIN
DPS with utility. Has a much different pacing than the other melee DPS. But they have some timing-dependent procs that mean if you're above 40ms latency, you'll have a bad time.
>SAM
Very bread-and-butter, there aren't any random procs you have to fish for, it's very reliable but doesn't have much utility.
>MNK
Same as NIN, but closer to SAM in playstyle. Doesn't feel very satisfying because you constantly have to burn your buffs to optimize damage.
>DRG
Technically the best melee, always and forever. Shit for dungeons because their AoE is extremely lacking but amazing in boss fights.
>BLM
Literally turret mode. Will easily top the DPS charts by a large margin if left alone. All of their spells have cast times though so you have to micromanage your instant-cast procs and abilities.
>SMN
Perfectly fits a rotation into a 120s block. Very, very, very timing-oriented, but ultra-satisfying when played well.
>RDM
Widely agreed to be the most boring DPS. You push a button, and then another button, and then either loop back to the first button or use a third button. Once your gauge is full, you use it up. At high levels it's much more versatile, but until you hit 70 it'll be sleep-inducing.
>BRD
Tons and fucking tons of weaving. Every single other ability is a proc. Constant party-wide crit buff.
>MCH
Don't even bother until they fix it. Take all of the bad points of the above and cram them into one job. Far too focused on a timing window, random procs, and latency can completely fuck you out of your damage

>150 potency over 21s. Healing over time ticks once ever 3s, which means 1050 potency
You do the fucking math

Trusts.

a regen is more hp over time and heals incoming damage not just damage dealt already.

Oh wait, it's 150 potency for each tick? I thought it was 150 total for the duration.

But isn't it a waste if the regen over heals?

Because Cure II is better.
If you're using Cure I, you likely could've skipped the heal due to how much HP they have left.
If you're using Cure I when they're at low HP, you could've done a Cure II instead and been done with it instead of needing afollow up after it.

Combine the two and Cure I is largely a waste of a GCD which can be used to throw stones etc.
Add in the rest of their kit of oGCDs and regens and it just makes it even less appealing. And WHM doesn't have MP concerns.

If there isn't any damage that doesn't merit a regen then you shouldn't have to cast either to begin with and should be just DPSing instead.

Hey guys, what are your thoughts on mch, plus the different healers. I'm conflicted on which to prioritize next.

But aren't I suppose to keep everyone at full hp as the healer?

No, and it never will be. We want to weed out your kind. Go and stay go.

>buying gil
are you too stupid to make gil in game?

Yes

lemonparty has the best prices

Heal everyone enough to where they don't die.
Sometimes there's dead periods where it's just the tank getting auto-attacks. People naturally regen, you don't need to top them off unless there's a party/raid buster coming.

What's the best form of damage prevention? If there's no enemy to damage your party. Kill the boss faster and you won't get pushed down to the wire as you run out of mana in prolonged fights. That's what your regens are for, a touch-and-go that makes it so you don't have to babysit your party.

>But aren't I suppose to keep everyone at full hp as the healer?
No, you're supposed to keep them above 0 hp.

暗黒騎士 (Ankoku Kishi?, lit. Darkness Knight)

Nope. That was a FF3 thing that never held over.

doesn't have to be immediate, if the tank is taking continuous damage, then regen is worth it, since the tank will gradually be recovering health as they are taking damage, same goes for aoe, if a raid aoe goes off and there is no immediate follow up, you can use medica II and let the heals over time do most of the work, I see a lot of healers using medica II and all those healing ticks go to waste because everyone is already at full
generally keep your party topped, but you don't have to have them at 100% at every moment in time, especially the tank
you should dish out some damage during moments when there isn't much damage going out, otherwise you will have nothing to do

mmo's don't get good until you hit max level except they're never good and they only get "ok"
all mmos are shit

if you are too stupid to make gil in game, then my honest advice is play something else, making gil in this game is piss easy, if you can't manage that, you probably can't play a job either

If it was just attuning to all the Aether Currents on the map it'd be fine in my opinion.

>Horrible GBR players who have never tanked causing multiple wipes even in normal dungeons
This has always been a fun one. They want to drive up the tank population so they make highly requested things like dark knight and gunbreaker tanks but then there's an influx of fucking shit tanks that make the experience awful for everyone and a bunch just go back to playing dps or healer instead of continuing. Despite the popularity of the requested job, the ratio of tanks has not changed. A real conundrum.

Shit maybe I'll actually log in then

man everything about that was handled pretty terribly huh. Why'd they do it anyways? Did they just want to have a mystery npc for the trailer so they called her Lyse? Or were they insinuating we didn't know the "real her" with the sister reveal?

FF3 NES version had a Mystic Knight job that was changed to Dark Knight in the remake. The NES job didn't resemble what would later become dark knights or mystic knights, they were just knights that could use katanas and low level white magic.

I played up to 35 on the trial. Can someone tell me what stuff I would unlock if I got the full game and kept leveling? Right now my main complaint is that each class has so few abilities to use in battle, especially GLA and WHM

Oda wanted to have a 'growing up' story but that wasn't possible with Yda because she was middle aged with plenty of real experience leading missions during the Ala Mhigan civil war.

"After I was told 'Leveling roulette is great for raising your character's level' in a tone similar to 'That hot spring is really good for curing rheumatism', I decided to try it, but The Sunken Temple of Qarn popped and I had a bad time.

i honestly couldn't tell you since i did them when they came out, but there's a shitload of filler quests inbetween the end of the original story and the start of heavensward, and the story doesn't really pick up until like the 2.3 patch. heavensward and stormblood are much shorter and higher quality overall

why do you have the dalamud horn and legacy tat? why did you play a terrible game?

The far east was the only thing worth a shit. Gyr Abania was 3 visually identical Thanalan zones with a bunch of incredibly unlikable people inhabiting it.

This. Fucking Sekiro has more varied and beautiful Asian environments than XIV, and that's supposed to be a gloomy game set in the real world. XIV is a fucking fantasy game and it's so bland. Where are the misty valleys and mountain temples and fantastical springs with colorful traditional architecture and plantlife?

Literally none of this is true you lying sack of shit

oh yeah that's a given, I guess that doesn't really count as "far east" but in my brain I was including that. SB was trash. Kugane looks cool but its just one town you rarely ever have to visit unless you do lolreka

BUT BRO 2.0 AND ONWARD IS SO MUCH BETTER WE HAVE SMALLER ZONES WITH EVEN LESS ROTATED SQUARES COPYPASTED WITH WORSE GRAPHICS AND ANIMATIONS, NO SENSE OF DANGER AND EXPLORATION, AND A TRANNY FANBASE BRO

imagine paying a sub just to idle ingame, play dressup and do your daily expert roulette for gear that you only use fore more expert roulettes

gyr abania would have been good if they put the parts with the trees in one zone, and the parts with rocks in another. it's two good areas that are worse because they split them half and half

The only thing I'm crying about is the absolute state of the game as it is now.
I'm fine with 1.0 being gone, but what we got in return wasn't worth it. It could be SO MUCH better, SE has the money... but they won't do it, because they are lazy, greedy gooks and they know faggots like you will slurp up their curry shits like good gaijin

It's literally better and full of zones made up of various unique landscapes and vistas. They're built by hand. Animations are better overall, stop cherrypicking the same ten cutscenes they blew the budget on. If you want danger, do Eureka. Zones are meant to be manageable at-level. Stay mad you shit-guzzling legacycuck.

It's just fine. Your nostalgia blinds you.

More like they have the money, but keep funneling it into other projects.

Okay 1.0 fags, it seems like the general consesus is that 1.0 - 1.20 was bad but then it started getting better in 1.23, so much so that you consider it better than current FFXIV. So what changed in those patches that suddenly transformed the game from complete and utter TRASH to godlike?

They added gameplay. I'm not being ironic saying this, a game that hinged on levequests and... nothing else before, got classes refined quite a little bit, received endgame character progression in form of relics, endgame dungeons and bosses, and some semblance of a consistent story that previously was expressed in a small handful of disconnected cutscenes. If all that sounds like it couldn't have NOT been in the game from the start, well, that's 1.0 for you.

dude, the company fucking apologised for how bad it was, even the company couldn't pretend it was anything less than a festering fire dump
the game was reviewed negatively, couldn't retain players despite the brand name, lost the company a lot of money, if it wasn't for ARR turning it around, FFXIV would have been a catastrophic financial failure for SE, it was only after they remade it that it actually managed to retain players, even if they kept Legacy going, it would just lose SE lots of money
also from what people tell me, the game ran like constant shit, even on high end computers
as for your precious 1.23b, that all sounds like shit that should have been in the game since the start, sounds like it was added long after most people dropped it

I unironically think they will remove them at some point and focus on bahamut-like mechanics instead.

if you can't see that the game can be improved so much you're blinded by your addiction to it.

I want a massive world again with no loading screens. I want improved graphics. I want better animation. Imagine what the starting cities should look like after all these years since 1.0. They should be huge, you should need flying to get around them and have little tucked away spots you can only reach via flying.
Imagine underwater content that matters, and diving down from a tower in limsa into the ocean where there is actual stuff to do.
None of this will happen, even though it could, and SE and even Blizzard have gone back and revamped everything in their MMOs before. Its not like its something special.
Instead, we'll have the same ps2 tier graphics in tiny, empty zones until the game stops getting content patches

Every patch added a slew of stuff. Its hard to recall every thing but there was an island related to GCs where you could get Giantsgall weapons by beating big bosses in the overworld.
Little things like that plus story quests finishing up with the Van Darnus fight made it really great.

I hope they will, but I don't think it'll happen.

You're absolutely delusional. You'll never get what you're after as long as it's on console. As for the rest you're a sad, salty nostalgiafag and should just stop playing and find a legacy server.

Just because nu-XIV has pidgeonholed itself into instanced lobbygame doesn't mean 1.0 wasn't trash either.

You want big areas pretty textures and better character animation? Go play BDO, Sounds more up your alley.

>You'll never get what you're after as long as it's on console
So the ps4 can handle all of these giant amazing open world triple A games but not an MMO?

Black Desert Online is on ps4 and it looks pretty good as far as I can tell.
The ps3 was dropped years ago user. But its still holding the game back. Sad.

>get all those things and lose any semblance of actual gameplay outside of exploration
It's not worth it.

BDO is garbage though. And PS3 held things back for so long they'd need to rebuild everything once again and that's just not cost efficient

>this triggered that someone actually does something for the community unlike your fatass
lol

The dangers of that request. There are totally games that fit those criteria they just play like ass and have no content. 4.5 here looks hideous and still has shit like Hien's awful coat but at least it's decent to play.

I don't care if its garbage, the point is the ps4 can handle mmos with graphics better than ps1
They have the money to do it, so they should. Instead they are going to just put more pixelated chinese bullshit on the mogstation, shit out ugly, tiny zones with no content and a few trials and raids that only a tiny percentage of the player population actually do, and that's it. The raid trannies are happy with their fflogs, the erp whales are happy with their flavor of the month $30 mogstation mount, and the rest of the people paying their sub just logs in for the snoozefest story they're invested in or because they don't want to lose their virtual house.

And instead of making XIV a good game they leave pennies for the hack and now they have him working on some "HD" game for next gen garbage, aka ff15-2

Yoshida is fantastic at his job though. He'll make 16 a pretty great game.

I've been waiting for this post since 2013

For the record, you're wrong, and everybody hates you.
But I'm amazed I had to wait 7 years for someone to express this sentiment.

People sure do love to project their random MMO ideals onto XIV. XIV is what it is, and it's successful at what it is. Yet that doesn't stop hundreds of people coming in and reeeing that it needs to dumpster everything it's built up and totally remake itself to cater to their tastes instead. It's like if people went into threads about Halo and went "This shit is still an FPS? Why haven't they made it a JRPG yet? Fucking lazy ass hack devs." Instead of just looking for other games they might like, they come and complain that XIV doesn't change itself to suit what they want.

I feel like it must be jealousy or something. The games they want aren't being made, aren't popular, or don't have the production values and polish of XIV so they want to try and force XIV to change instead.

can someone give me money so i can buy this game?

>getting nervous and stressed by basic healing
90% of the time there is fuck all happening, what the fuck is there to be stressed about?
big pulls are just as much a tanks responsibility as a healers, if the tank cocks up cooldown rotation, they can go down hard, especially if undergeared, levelling dungeons are much more punishing due to the stricter gear cap
healing really isn't stressful, its arguably the easiest role to perform fine at, mostly because most enemies hit like wet tissue paper and there isn't all that much healing that needs to be done, at least not until Savage and EX content and even then, its not hard

Leveling a second class is way easier than the first.

Who is the artist?

touching yourself is wrong, user...

The game has no real punishment for dying, the worst that can happen is the other players getting upset, and some kid on the other side of the screen getting mad at five minutes wasted is not the end of the world
If it's White Mage you're playing then your job is probably simpler than you think; in dungeons you just throw Regen on the tank after they've pulled a pack and then get in there and hammer Holy until either the pack is dead or the enemies develop a resist to stun and start hitting the tank again. Bosses same deal but you swap out Holy for Aero and Stone and throw a few Cure IIs in there as well to help out the tank (or the DPS if they're fucking up)

Attached: 1503823998.png (500x500, 304K)

At the start you have a high gcd and few abilities. You get a ton of abilities the gcd will make sense but that's at a high level. once you start having to juggle combos, position, temp-buff for an attack or two and so forth it gets more and more fun. As for the exact level it depends on the job really. I started having fun with samurai around 60-70. DRK didn't really amp up in the same way but also had combos to use. lot of job/classes but I'd say that. once you have more than one combo to use it starts to pick up.

Would've been good if they weren't "BLM with some extra abilities" and were able to actually be a solo job proper.

It's not hard

you won't improve if you don't practice in savages and extremes because there is no other content that is able to push you at your limit
I suggest picking an extreme oe savage fight that you know well with another role and start putting into practice what you read on the guides

or*

Are there any normal fights that are notoriously hard on the healers I could do for a bit beforehand?
Right now I'm even stressed about doing dungeons on anything but WHM, but I do need to overcome that

Because Lalafell are played by actual 4channers instead of /veddit/. "REEE loli leee shota" where the fuck do people think they are. reminds me of anti anime posters. Normie types love miqo'te and au ra and Yea Forums is no exception not to mention /vg/.
Shitposters yes degenerates no. that'd be hyper submissive miqo'te erpers.

Time to snowflake so hard, I go full circle.

mmh well none of the normal fights are particularly hard but maybe you can try Shinryu, O6(chadarnook), O8 (Kefka), O12 (MF)

You and every other Midlander.

Attached: ffxiv_13042019_112401_797.png (1920x1080, 1.9M)

You can't even really say that midlanders are the basic bitches of this game. Both Miqo'te and Au Ra massively outnumber them.

>O6(chadarnook), O8 (Kefka)
Those aren't particularly hard on healers, even at appropriate ilvl.

How are you stressed about anything outside of savage? You realize there are people that do normal modes who literally just auto attack and throw an odd ability out every now and then?

There is absolutely no content that will challenge you outside of savage, and the fact that you're nervous to even do dungeon content makes me think you'll never step foot in savage. Even savage is easy in many cases depending on the fight. I have people in PF groups not even using consumables, and we still beat certain fights in savage.

You just have to get over this rediculous nervous shit and do the hard content. What's the worst thing that'll happen? Someone says something mean to you in a videogame? You'll never learn unless you do it. Just farm the latest EX primals for practice.

Agreed. npc wise midlanders are supposed to be the basic bitches but, player wise it's miqo'te followed by au ra. there are normals playing midlander mind you but nowhere near the amount that play miqo'te.

Can someone post the race statistics that were posted in a thread recently?

I know, I'm just the kind of person that absolutely loathes holding the group back by not performing optimally.
I did clear all the HW Savage raids when they were still current, just on DRG. Healing is just a different ballgame entirely somehow, it stresses me out a hell of a lot more

You will always hold a group back when it's your first time doing it and they've done it before. Right now you're always going to be the new person in the fight. Who cares if you hold them back, especially party finder groups. PF is for practice and if you feel if you know the fight well enough, just join a kill group. No one cares and if they do call you out who gives a fuck, you still leave with more experience.

If you're adamant about not "holding a group back" then just wait for shadbringers and do fights with people when they're new, but that's a long wait and you could be practicing now on EX primals at least.

It's 90% casuals doing EX primals anyway because they want mounts.

Thanks for the input.
I think I'll just queue up for a handful of Extremes using the DF for now until I feel like I'm the one holding the group up as a healer. Should get me some good practise when chaotic shit happens and slowly build muscle memory.
If someone seriously expects clears out of DF it's their own fault and I shouldn't have to feel responsible for failure I feel like

Don't queue for extremes in DF, nobody does them there so it will never pop. Everyone uses PF.

Healing is different at first, but you'll soon find it's the joke role. Literally the easiest shit in the game.
Tanking isn't much more difficult either. DPS is by far the hardest role with most of them having complex rotations and cooldown management, while also having to focus on boss mechanics and lining their strongest burst damage up with big party buffs, like trick attack.
I say this as primarily a tank player, as I've dabbled with NIN and MCH.

I thought I knew how to play my job until I tried Stone, Sea, Sky. HOW TO HIT THOSE NUMBERS, THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE.

Just create a party finder and write something like "Practice group, new players welcome. Let's learn together"
You should find enough people around peak times. You might find some some people are so shit that you won't make progress at all, but at least any progress you make is experience for yourself.

Well what job, what dummy, what item level, what rotation, etc?

Are you using the right secondary stats for your class? Some classes like MNK can't make use of their buff brotherhood which hurts them a bit.

>2.5 gcd
it doesn't. most of your time will be spent figuring out what job you like only to find out that each job only has like 1 or 2 things to bring to raids, other than that, they all feel the same.

I'd agree with this about tanks and healers. DPS are quite varied both in playstyle and difficulty. For some classes like MNK and NIN the 2.5 gcd is just a meme at 70 and you'll find that they're very fast paced.

unironically had the most fun playing paladin because i could just half afk and press a buff or 2 and let everyone else do the work for me. im sure its not like that at max lvl but yeah.

got too bored leveling up because 2.5 gcd. makes the game feel slow af even though it isn't.

I can understand that, especially on PLD which is literally the most boring job until 60-70. The game is extremely dull and boring until you get to the later levels. I used to fall asleep while leveling.

>I used to fall asleep while leveling.
too true. i wanted to main dragoon... yeah... leveling was basically just spamming 2 abilities.

How to learn SCH? I like AST so I thought it might be fun to pick up a second healer but SCH just confuses and annoys me. I don't understand what I am supposed to be doing.

man, some of these are great

Spam Physic/adloquiun/Lustrate for single heals. Spam Succor for AOE heals. Adloquiun/Succor work best if they're used BEFORE big attacks.

There. You've learned how to Scholar.

Actually early game drg/lnc before getting his 3 combo skills is literally just 1 attack.

TT + VT = 350 potency, while just spamming Impulse Drive is 180 * 2 = 360 potency.

That coupled with the GDC will 100% induce sleep.

Circle of scorn cannot be a dps loss, it's ogc, or am I crazy ?

DPS and let your whm do the healing.

He means using it while in Shield Oath i believe.

1.0 fags are mentally ill

Cope you Legacylet.

are you out of your fucking mind? you can get to level 15 in all of a half an hour, even less if you're not reading. The leveling roulette is fucking useless and potd is mainly for other jobs aside from your first. Just do main/side quests and you level just fucking fine, faggot

Do I get gameplay time from buying Shadowbringers or am I expected to pay for both the expansion and a sub on the same day?

Both.

wasn't expecting that

Is the DDoS still going?

Fucking kikes.

They're literally FFXIV staff. I saw the exact same image in another post days ago.

what the actual fuck

Sophia lol

>>sunday
PM in Europe
I don't think that's right.
The first country to pass over the international date line is New Zealand, and it's still Saturday there.

I live one day in the future

Is sunday a busy day for Europe? It's usually Tues/Wed/Thurs over here.

I know. I logged on at prime time yesterday and there were like 12 PF groups in EU. Even before SB the game wasn't this dead, and I'm pretty sure we didn't have cross realm PF then as well.

it feels fucking empty dude, queues are longer for every role, you can't farm shit, can't run maps, eureka is dead as well unless you are going for a BA run

MCH or BRD?

I remember being concerned before SB because of how dead it was. But even on Phoenix back then with no crossrealm PF there were always at least 15 PF groups up at any time. I convinced my FC/Static that it'd pick up when the expansion hits, and tbf it did quite a bit. But this time it's really like a ghost town. I'm not a WoWfag but I can't deny that classic is going to put a big dent in FF this time round, which isn't long after the expansion launch. Just hope the game isn't as dead as it is now.

Right now BRD. In Shadowbringers who knows. MCH is fun and more complex, but for mediocre damage.

>MCH
>fun
Dunno about that.

It's very fun and unique compared to other classes.

Same. Fuck reading.
Fucking nerds.
