It's a sad state of affairs when you look for Yea Forums threads for a game. /vg/ doesn't even feel like Yea Forums anymore and when people from there post here it's noticable. Anyway that aside I'm already a DRK. I'm not a healer main so I'm not screeching but I have dps I enjoy, tanks I like especially with GUN and hopefully a buffed DRK but a battle-priest healer would be grand.

Really bummed I slept on the game for so long. Picked it up Saturday on the golden week sale. Currently going summoner buuut if DRK get out of the rough spot I’ve been reading about I think that will be next

Every general in /vg/ is unusable. It doesn't feel like Yea Forums because with autistic people who keep track of threads into the thousands and discords for every general people try to develop a persona for an anonymous message board. Its especially horrible on xivg.

I don't know why these people don't just talk in game and on discord and just fuck off Yea Forums, the only thing I can't figure out is what Yea Forums offers them that they don't get from other outlets.

dont fuck them up like how SMN was fucked up in 3.0 and 4.0

I don't disagree. the mobile gacha ones are vaguely okay if into those but especially Mmo threads there are beyond horrible. All of the /vg/ threads are weirdly normie though for a lack of a better term. They feel like they're closer to discord twitch and reddit than Yea Forums. I mean I get why jannies kill these threads but they're more or less the only place where you can talk about the game itself.

>someone wanted to add a DoT to Gravity a few threads ago

Can't risk containment breach, I'll take short lived over endlessly shitty and unnecessary

People still play this hamster wheel game?

I would like to but I'm just scared I'll suck ass as a tank. Never played one before, what's a god tank to learn how to tank on?

Try playing MNK, we getting the shaft all the time it's almost like Yoshi want to kill it off.

Fair point. The longer a thread stays up the more /vg/ types start to unveil themselves.

It's also free on PSN, and likely the US SquareEnix store, too.

WAR
simple rotation and simple tools
the lack of tank stance damage reduction makes it more obvious when you fuck up on CDs as opposed to PLD that would probably skirt by

Tank is just dps + CD and aggro management
with aggro management being almost non-existent with the game in its current state, it's just a dps that takes hits and uses CDs to survive them, in the same vein healing is dps + keeping people alive outside of their own stupidity

I played this game a while back and enjoyed it but the story based nature of the game made leveling a fucking chore, is there any way to skip it all if I want to start again?

I hope they rework the tanks a bit and add active mitigation.

War unironically. you can also try playing with squadrons to help with the anxiety and to get a better grip on things. Squadron npcs are stronger than the flesh and blood npcs you get in roulettes but in my experience it's a decent way to start off. POTD can be okay for getting the hang of a skillset. Beyond that it's just experience especially with dealing with the tranny healers and sperg dps but it's something that should help you relax a bit with the role/class.

I don't go there often but my experience with the XIV and WoW generals was awful. Its just a circlejerk of obsessive creeps, the majority being into dickgirls for some fucking reason.

You do damage and push defensive CDs as mobs converge on you once you stop pulling with 3 people youll never see again.
This "tank anxiety" shit is the most overblown non-condition ive ever seen in a game. Ive fucked up and died to a couple big pulls when I started. You say "oops, sorry" and carry on. No one gives a shit.

no, the job was fine with cast times because it was clearly built around having them and it encouraged stacking procs properly so you didnt have to cast as often.

Fuck off, Larry, you unfunny hack.

The game isn't designed to properly handle a playable beast race with the need for expressions, emotes, etc but Yoshi made them do it anyway because the idea of male rabbits triggers him.

Which tank is easiest?

It looks like a lazy copy paste job of a poorly done anthro head onto a roe body.

What am I supposed to do with all this junk gear I get while leveling and doing roulette? I'm a DPS main and saving stuff for the tank I want to play but otherwise my inventory is getting bloated. And some of it you can't sell on the marketboards. Do I just sell it to NPCs?

Yeah, that's why you do all 8 and fill the rest of the lines with higher priority people and /micon shit
No waits, it'll run through them all and use it on the first person in the order set and in range, if they're out of range the line is skipped and the next triggers until there's no more lines to process/one completes and puts in on CD.

can you do something other than obsessively talk about /vg/ please, yes its shit we get it

PLD and WAR. Really a matter of which one you like. I find PLD much less hassle in dungeons though.
Or if you start leveling now, they might have fixed D(o)RK for the expansion if you like the aesthetics.

Yes, or turn them in to the grand company provisions dude for seals.

they are clearly rushing to release shadowbringers in time
you can already see it by how they are cutting corners with ronso and viera not being able to wear most headpieces and that it's being delayed to the future
they skipped the end april liveletter and will have the press conference BEFORE the liveletter that talks about the job changes
not to mention this benchmark being the first one released at the end of may compared to the other 2 coming out at the end of april

I was told you can turn it to your Company once you're rank 3 (Sarge I believe)

>grand company provisions dude for seals.
Expert turn-in is rank locked and if he's levelling he likely isn't the required rank

no male viera for you buddy

perhaps we as a community should stop demanding resource intensive cosmetic things like new races and just demand more gameplay

imagine if they never wasted time and resources on things like blue mage and we might be getting things on time or more actual content

>>Lv62: Dragon Armor - Freezes Heavy Thrust and BotD timer while also reducing damage taken by 10%. Duration 30s or until casting a weaponskill
Why was this not made into a roleskill for all melee DPS.

Alright I'll turn the plain stuff in for seals.

Only thing going for the game is aesthetics since day one. Anything else is padding.

NIN
For AF 1, 2, 3, and preemptively 4's head slot to show on Viera.
Face covering is important to NIN job identity and there is nothing in any of the AF headgear that would interfere with bunny ears.

this community is too shit and rather has a second life with the same stuff they did for 6 years than new playable things
on a side note, i rather wanted them to improved the current races nobody plays than making some fotm new races that are half-assed from release

swimming, verminion, blue mage, ng+ are all useless features that added nothing to the game besides them saying: but we added new things, it's just you not liking them!

Then go complain to SE not providing enough workforce plus funds and to jobless japanese devs not wanting to work on an MMO.

God WoW and XIV fags really are beaten house wines aren't they?

Square's going all out

gfg for me sometimes. fgo was okay idk how it is now. gacha ones tend to be decentish with the occasional sperg but wowg, xivg and mmo generals in general are beyond awful there. to put it bluntly if a game allows attentionfagging in any real way it'll become twitch, discord etc tier fast.

COPE

Not him, but DRG was always supposed to be a little tankier than the other dps so it makes sense for just them to have something like that.

The Genre has been dead for years. Only boomers play MMOs.

t. healer sperg. Honestly it's more about the leap once you've experienced it you'll stop caring as much and it becomes natural to you unless people go out of their way to ruin your runs.. and at that point you just kick them. More eyes are on you and expectations too.

Sadly it's already been confirmed to still be around.

its just something to do until Pantheon comes out

I'm still a bit salty about the merging of zerk and IR just because two burst windows gave you more to do and the gauge management made the job pretty engaging heh but now it's just "FC at 80-100 gauge, dump gauge and smack infuriate when it's up, IR and upheaval on cooldown". I'm worried that it's going to get even more dumbed down with the next expac.

I think the 10 second zerk for lower levels is fine though, since three IB/FC and the last two hits of your aggro combo will still have you outdamaging most people, 20 seconds would turn you into a one-man mob melting machine.

Most if not all of them are twitch/reddit types so no.
Larrysaur does literal onions humor and onions voices constantly why the fuck would you recommend him of all people. "Like OH MY GOSH this is Epiiiiiic"

No, it isn't.

Can you trannies stay on your containment board in /vg/? I swear I come here maybe three times a day and every time there's this fucking thread. This is why we have a /vg/ section, for fags like you.

Miqo'te were a XIV invention, so they can change that.

I'm not even to 70 yet (hit 67 last night) so I don't have any opinions on the endgame for it yet. Would be nice to have something like what Cleric Stance apparently used to be; a shift into high DPS at the expense of healing.

Attached: FatedCircle.gif (455x262, 3.77M)

The DRK journal entries/recaps are the best story based thing in this game.

Kill yourself

>more aggro options
>plunge and unmend are single target
>dark passenger and unleash and abyssal drain all for group pulls
Abyssal Drain alone is probably the best pull in the game, since it’s a Ranged AoE so can grab a whole group of enemies without moving. Hell on top of that, with how Blood Price and Salted Earth generate enmity, the more enemies you have the more you can be shooting off Quietus and Bloodspillers. If anything, DRK is the best tank when it comes to pulls and dealing with large groups of enemies since it has just so much more and better AoE options and the more enemies you have aggro’d, the better you can perform.
If anything, I think they should rework DRK with how they build Gunbreaker so that the tanks are split into two groups, with Dark Knight having a greater DPS focus to be more of the same role in an 8 man as a Warrior, and Gunbreaker made with more defensive options (since it’s literally a Queen’s Royal guards in the lore) to be more like Paladin.

That's pretty fucked up desu.

Gun/DRK would be a cool chad combo but I wouldn't be surprised if they fuck up the balance and make the meta GUN/WAR even though they specifically said those two were the "off" tanks, I can foresee them fucking up the balance and relegating PLD and DRK to the cuck shed for an entire expansion.

Except current kits have them reversed, PLD OT/WAR MT.

I really liked Ethys when he did youtube.

He was a "lore" channel, but he didnt really seem to cover much in game lore, but more about the lore of of the RL inspiration of things in game.

The TK rotation is blatantly unintentional

Oh no he hates WoW too and admits it. Hes just got sunk cost into it and cant quit now.

On the contrary, they've been pushing for it since its introduction in HW.

Would GUN having a spammable gap closer instead of the traditional ranged pull be overpowered?

I mean there's enough in your post to know you didn't actually think any of that through, but
>Vajra
Pray tell where that would even be used? It's a weaponskill, so meaning it's on the GCD with no cool down, even though MNK already has a filler damage GCD for each of it's stances. There's literally nowhere for that skill to fit. Some of your suggested changes are fine like condensing wind tackle, but the rest are just simplifying and already simple class.

>have about two months to catch up in time for Shadowbringers
>Stormblood sucks and I don't care anymore

it's not funny nor entertaining, but at least I don't literally cringe from listening to it, and it's a fucking women talking

MCH
Honestly you know what, get rid of turrets, get rid of the gauss barrel, get rid of flamethrower, get rid of Wildfire, and get rid of the damage bonus with Overheat. Keep Heat around, and the mechanic of staying at >50 without overheating. Increase the maximum amount of ammo and ways to regain it and get rid of the RNG bits. Give it a “deadeye” meter or something, where using certain abilities under a certain buff will add charges that you can burn to increase the damage of a single attack, and then add something like Foul or Midare as a big dick damage attack.
There, you have your selfish DPS that does high damage to stand up next to SAM and BLM that has no support, which is what MCH really needs to be when there’s now going to be two super support heavy Ranged DPS it will have to compete with

TK spam is, but TK during Riddle of Fire is absolutely not unintentional.

What class stories are worth skipping? I don't want to manually level them all up if their stories are gobshite and I can save myself some time.

the turret would be better if it radiated some kind of direct hit rate buff like bard radiates crit chance up. its almost forgettable otherwise if it wasnt for overload. i dont really like the idea of any ranged dps being pure damage because xiv can never get it right

PLAY CHAD MAGE

I was a WoW refugee and I gave FFXIV a chance but it felt boring and tedious especially all the fucking cutscenes holy fuck. WoW refugees usually quit after the first 20 lvls of cutscenes. I got super pissed when I found out i had to PAY to skip the story, give me a break..

I played for a month and a half and got max lvl in a month and did dungeons and other shit but the game is just kinda boring and nobody interacts with each other. 80% of WoW players will probably hate it.

I never said that wasn’t the case.
WAR as MT works because it can concentrate on keeping high DPS and on the boss, while PLD has a load of defensive options, however because they have to do with party support PLD is better not being the MT so it can get more damage out of being in its DPS stance while WAR can sit around completely fine tanking in DPS because it needs to switch anyway for Inner Release for those big Fell Cleaves.
Dark Knight is more DPS oriented to start, and is more focused on its own survivability and not that of the party (even the HW one was like that), and it’s lore on top of that makes it a better fit to be an MT like WAR. We don’t know anything about Gunbreaker but it’s lore makes it out to more similar to PLD than WAR, making it fit there, party support options for “defending the Queen” or whatever. Maybe it they’ll give it a shield instead of a heal, which would be super interesting, and would make a lot of sense.

Paladin's pretty fucking shit.

>ffxivmomo which somewhat of a tryhard guy that just plays and enjoys the game without screeching or doing weird shit, his 30 seconds clips on twitch are pretty enjoyable (he also makes fun of some basedboy guide in youtube for FFXIV)

the community in FFXIV is absolutely disgusting and ridiculous and is no wonder people don't want to be associated with it, even though I love the game

theres nothing chad about black mage. samurai may be able to deliver results on their own but black mage whines to be catered to just so they can do what everyone else also has to do

Leader of a random FC that's looking for feedback about FC events. I'm new to this and want to get my people engaging one another and playing the game more once ShB hits, but I'm not really sure what a casual FC can do for events. The only thing I really have planned at the moment is that I want to offer a "Best Viera / Hrothgar" from the upcoming benchmark and reward two fantasias to the winners of both as a method to possibly mix up things beyond cat hoarding in my FC.

What's some stuff other groups do that would be acceptable for events and all that?

Don't do this, it encourages waifu and tranny faggotry and you'll resent those players the moment they leave your FC which will be shortly after they get their prize
Organize raid or trial runs instead, it'll show you who in the fc actually has 2 brain cells to rub together and any possible wipes will reveal more about a person's character based on how they react, you don't want anyone that starts to rage and conversely you don't want anyone that uses extreme positivity as a shield to deflect away from their poor performance

When the FUCK are they going to make all tank stances OGCD?
It's literally not fair for WAR to be the only one able to stance dance.

It took over a week for the first clear

BotD can't be kept up indefinitely out of combat, you WILL eventually lose it if you have nothing to attack.
Huton requires using up a ninjutsu if you have nothing to hit, and you need to go out of your way to refresh it in your rotation.
Enochian is trivial to keep up out of combat but it actually does require a minor amount of decision making during the rotation, you can't just ignore refreshing AF.
Having a way to auto-refresh GL3 makes it a completely pointless system. It refreshes just by doing what you would do even if it didn't exist, so if you also you have a free way to keep it going forever during downtime then there's no reason for it to even exist.

But it's more that building and maintaining GL3 is the entire point of the job. You can have a way to save GL3 through occasional fight downtime without making the entire mechanic absolutely trivial. Just something that's better than the shit tier Riddle of Earth.

If you're crafting, I think boots/gloves/helms are the best ratio of material input to tokens you can get at 15. The only real cost is the alchemic, everything else is easily gathered, and one alchemic makes three of those pieces, or two for a chest/legs (21), or three for a weapon (27).

I've still got twelve rakshasa helms in reserve in case I want to play any of my alts, can fully gear them to 390 in one go.

Don't fuck it up with unnecessary timers and bullshit.

6 shields cost the 2 alchemics and 120 mendacity for 12 tokens each, while boots/gloves/helms cost 2 alchemics and 600 mendacity for 15 tokens each
Depending on your limiting factors those are good too.

Doesn't matter how easy you make Bard the average pug Bard will still be so shit that it gives me nightmares.

I was thinking maybe they could do something Mhachish? Like an Ozma spell or something.

Give them Warp.

Something something Crystal Tower something something.

Pubshits hated bowmage, though.

The mendacity materials are a non-factor on my server (Levi) because they were being sold for ~1000 gil on the market board for non-HQ version, but I imagine on a small server where prices are in flux that might not be the case.

My big thing was the ability to have the gear ready to go for a class as it approached the level cap, rather than buying pieces on occasion through the mendacity vendor. I have a bunch of stuff at 70 but ungeared, as soon as I figure out what I want to play or need, I can just poof a 390 set into existence.

Absolutely, yet they're just as bad at it with instant casts.

So did Stormblood actually make a huge profit or is Yoshi bullshitting again?

Them siphoning the XIV revenue into shit like XV and FF7R will never not make me seethe.

SAM isn't even a good job right now, and they hate selfish DPS in general, it's never going to be a safe choice.

See your mistake is being a meta retard instead of whether it's a fun job or not.

I enjoy contributing and good results, so I don't find SAM fun.

The only reason SAM is ever excluded from parties is because the average SAM player is a total fucking retard. It's not a problem with the design, it's a problem with the reputation of the players.

Yeah, that's a complete pain in the ass. I was a massive jew who tried to skimp on gear by getting the yellow scrip accessories (big mistake, capping CP is key for crafting, second only to actually being able to initiate the craft.), so I had to hard craft tons of materials to spirit bond the gear and eventually get rid of it instead of just tossing it out. Having capped CP and 1600+ control before buffs is a godsend, even with no HQ materials, I'm still making HQ mats around 80% of the time, with a little bit of HQ input I reach 100%. Even if I craft a few dozen ingots or leather and some doesn't turn out HQ, I can still mix NQ and HQ mats for the final craft and auto craft an HQ item at the end.

Prior to that, I was running a gamble with non-steady hand piece by pieces and that one touch that gives two stacks of IQ but fails 20% of the time. Basically got to 5 IQ, dumped the rest of my steady hand charges on safe touches, then finished out Maker's Mark to try and pull back as much CP as I could with tricks of the trade. Two thirds of the time, I'd get a massive amount of quality with lots of leftover CP, but sometimes I'd get multiple failures and be stuck with a NQ make. It was the only way I found to make HQ mats reliably with low CP.

It's excluded from parties because it's a riskier choice than other jobs for no actual DPS gain.

I dislike being a fluffer yet I'm not saying that Bard, DRG or Nin are shit jobs.

Do the preorder Aetheryte earrings grant +30% exp to PotD?

>Riskier.
That's a player skill thing not a job thing. It's riskier to bring a BLM that doesn't know the fight than a SAM that doesn't for example.

But brd, drg and nin are objectively strong and useful jobs, while sam is objectively lackluster. Your subjective enjoyment of it is pretty irrelevant.

No.

Still, why would I want to bring a SAM if I can bring a SMN who does just as much damage and has utility?

>riskier
How is SAM riskier than any other melee?

>Prior to that, I was running a gamble with non-steady hand piece by pieces and that one touch that gives two stacks of IQ but fails 20% of the time
On average, mathematically, 2 of those are optimal for any rotation. Great for macros.

Attached: 1468691256791.png (600x400, 261K)

I don't think any of the exp bonus account for PotD. All I know is it takes 96 runs of PotD to get from 1-60 and 42 runs of HoH to get from 61-70.

>Final Fantasy XV: A New Empire
>As of January 2019, total downloads reached 51 million and more than $518 million in revenue.
>Fucking mobile game spin-off shits on XIV
If anything it's XIV that is stealing all the money

I think it's to kill EXP only, which makes them significantly less useful since the majority of most players exp gain is from bonus exp from duty completion or PotD. For example, if most of your experience is coming from PotD or daily leveling roulette, you're not going to see much gain with them, while if you're trying to grind the highest level dungeon available, it's great.

It's not exactly 30% faster though because the armory bonus is giving you +100% already, so it's closer to 15% faster with no other buffs.

It isn't but you also don't run SAM over other melees, you'd usually run it over a SMN or maybe RDM if you're a pussy.

Not going to lie. I think it's only anime themed general's. /VR/ and /TG/ general's are okay. With every general it's always something like PERSONA 4 IS THE WORST GAME EVER AND OMG I LOVE FUUKA! any threads on Yea Forums is just waifu posting and shit. I honestly think you have to be autistic to stick in these generals.

That being said what server are you on?

Attached: animeandautism.jpg (480x360, 27K)

Not really since XIV is self sustaining and any "excess" revenue gets thrown down the shitter into FF7R.

Average is really great for non-end product stuff, but if you're crafting things that you absolutely need to HQ like the end result items and using macros, then it's not worth using just because it's unreliable. If you're doing it manually, you can make an argument though because you've got nothing to lose with it on your first touch until it succeeds.

Also, while it competes with MNK, MNK at least has Brotherhood to help everyone out. A SAM that isn't doing top tier DPS meanwhile isn't contributing shit.

>Nin dies, can still put up trick
>drg dies, can still teather/pierce/litany
>sam dies, ........

Sam gets hit by the 20% harder and provides nothing to the party at the same time.
And before anyone starts I cleared alphascape with a sam/blm party. I dont want to hear shit about being a meta slave.

Only if you cannot mostly guarantee HQ with a rotation that doesn't have a fail chance. I'd only use those strategies when making something above you for the first time, like your first set of crafted gear.

No, you run SAM if they're the only source of slashing in the party. So no NIN/WAR. It's the only way their rDPS competes.

Nah, after 2 it's counter-productive in macro. I've been using them in macros all through SB. But I don't Maker's Mark 100% forever rotation, I bulk craft and the macro overperforms (same macro unless it's 35 dura) on end crafts. Think NQ ores etc into 95% (end result, not average % shown) ingots etc. and then subbing in NQ mats whenever they show up for end crafts. I've yet to NQ an end result and if/when it does happen my costs are astronomically low along with the time invested crafting up to that point via shorter macros.

Learn to abuse the pseudo-true RNG they implemented in the game. It's amazingly abusable in crafting.

It's not because of that. It's because they've said they're reworking it.

Fuck that fight, I abandon it whenever it comes up because the players going through the story are THE most braindead I've ever seen.
Even if we somehow make it in one piece to the part where you hurt the boss, the party dps is so fucking low that it usually takes 2 attempts to break the shell, then another 2 attempts to actually kill the boss.
The music is shit, the fight is literally all trash mobs and a part where you do nothing but just hit the boss.

Do you have max gear? There's a specialist macro that guarantees 100% HQ from all NQ mats. It's about the same number of steps. Unless this is your lazy man rotation.

Pick a role first, tank/heal/caster/ranged/melee and then see the results of May's battle system changes info to decide within that role.

Jobs don't get good until at least one patch in, or the x.2 or x.3 patch in some cases.

So just hold off until 5.3 then?

>May's battle system changes
Is there more than just fusing MP and TP ?

>FUCK ANYONE NEW
nice "game" you got there

If Shadowbringers is anything like ARR, HW and SB, half of the jobs will be nearly unplayable for the first 2-3 patches, so yeah.

5.1 should be enough.

Of course I do. It's deliberately universal for non-specs. I can make a rotation that will 0-100% on specialist no problem but that's besides the point of it.

Lots of job changes coming, not just simple additions and small reworks/expansions.

Story only acknowledges the player as the chosen hero, all other party members are your 'gifted friends' who just happen to be around when you need them, even when you travel halfway around the world. Story is ok.

>Is the story actually good or is it just "video game story" good?
When it's good, it's really good. There are low points though.
>How do they deal with the everyone being the chosen hero in the plot
Your character is the chosen one. Everyone else is just an adventurer from your point of view.

You can't expect them to get it right the first time around, expect a lot of jobs to be in shambles for 5.0, with things getting better around 5.2-5.3.

Oh boy.

blame SE's shit design, I hate most of the Heavensward fights aside from Ravana, thordan and nidhogg.
I gladly stay and help for the 70 fights like Omega, and of the 4 lords or story trials. It's simply that the formula they used during heavensward of "lmao fight a bunch of adds" is the worst shit that's slowly getting phased out.

Oh that's right... There's supposed to be "BATTLE SYSTEM MAINTENANCE" this month.

Just to clarify do you macro all of your submats to get mostly HQ ones for the end product?

It'd make some sense in that he'd want us to stay and fix his world, instead of returning to our own, but SE will handweave a solution to that right at the start of the expansion as to why we can get back to the source at any point.

How's Pagos these days since the 4.57 light buff? Kinda wanna start a third weapon. Been helping out a bud through Eureka and have a shit ton of Pagos crystals.

- Get to a higher level so you can ignore enemies in the lower areas. You only need to be 2 levels above an enemy to run right through them without aggroing.
- Undead enemies only aggro if you have

Just ask for someone to ferry you around.

It's a lot better. You can get enough light for a weapon in under 3 full lockouts just by riding the train.

No, I process a shit ton for market and use them in gear crafts as and when I need to craft them. I don't macro it all for the express purpose of using it in a final gear craft. I could go and make a macro to 0-100 the end result right now and quick synth up to it, it's just not its purpose.

Despite how others may feel, I feel like SMN is just a little to easy and intuitive for a ranged dps class that can pump out damage rivaling BLM. It's just so much easier to play. Just my opinion.

Diadem doesnt even hold a candle to Eureka. Sure, Eureka wasn't amazing during Pagos but all of the other installments were great in terms of getting players to play together. It also gave us something to do outside of raid.

>stormblood also ruined most of the jobs in the game which is pretty huge

Stormblood FIXED the garbage meta left behind from HW. Godcomp didn't completely overshadow all other comps. The balance in FFXIV is the best it's ever been currently.

THE STATE OF CRYSTAL CHILDREN

That's pretty easy to say when the only choice you had that differs from other comps is whether you take a BLM or SMN.

Warriors, from 30-70 it's just watching curious George be a fuck up over and over and fucking over. It was kinda endearing the first time by SB I'm sick of being expected to care about this guy who can barely keep his shit together.

>stormblood also ruined most of the jobs in the game
It made BLM better in every way which is all I care about.
Except for lowering the potency of fire IV, but they raised it gradually over the course of several patches so it's all good.

Not really, it was a long while before they moved the dupe class check to jobs so that SCH and SMN didn't count as a dupe.

i dont get this meme but im a man and proud of it

they both have you zerging fates in a separate instance of the game. are you trying to say eureka is actually any different just because it has separate levels too?
>Stormblood FIXED the garbage meta left behind from HW
>piercing meta still exists
>whm still overshadowed by ast
i wasnt even talking about balance, just the way jobs pla. you cant deny how lackluster they all feel now in comparison with the forced job gauge. maybe bard is better now but i cant really comment because i never played much of it in either expansion

SCH
I think it might be interesting to bring back the HW style of SCH dps, and by that I mean having another, high MP cost basic damage spell on top of the usual Broil II (the way Broil existed alongside Ruin in HW), and maybe another DoT on top of the existing ones while we're at it, the way we used to have both Bio and Bio II.
As for healing shit, I'd wager they're going to add more ways to make use of the Fairy gauge. Don't have that many ideas what they might be, though.
I really hope they're not going to gut the fairies too hard despite acknowledging them as "a problem" in healer balance. Don't make SCH's kit strictly worse, just make it more complex and difficult to take full advantage of. We already have WHM as the explicitly designated 'simple' healer.

SMN was king in first coil.

Yeah, now they clear the content in 7 days.

Judging raids by time to world first is retarded. Gordias and Midas took as long as they did because they were gear gated.

>WHM
What job gauge?
tfw you can't disable the gauges anymore

And I'm STILL pissed that Yoshi stole my Thunder and fucked up pet AI in the same patch. The abusable quirks of the pet AI were great.

member Biggs and Wedge's original Voice Actors?
member Urianger?

>Post your main and what you'd like in ShB
SCH
More skills to use Fairy gauge, preferably down the levels, if at all possible, to tie fairy to the gauge itself not unlike PVP, so that fairy uptime is something you need to work for rather than it being passive regen.
Barring that, new abilities for Selene, half her kit is completely useless in most content, she has a hard time stacking up.
New summon animations for Eos and Selene that have more to do with fairies rather than just reusing ACN base summoning.

Did you even do Eureka?

>piercing meta still exists
No? You take a SMN for speed kills and RDM for prog.

>whm still overshadowed by ast
Until they buffed AST in 4.3, the healer balance was the best ever. Its ironic you bring this point because in HW, AST was horribly balanced all throughout until they made AST too good not to take in 3.4. SE needs to do something about WHM because jobs that dont contribute to overall DPS always end up sucking.

I for one thoroughly enjoyed the Omega series. Extreme trials were also unique and fun, brought some of the best soundtracks in the game and SB set great precedence with Ultimate raids.
I am excited to see what new Ultimate raids they'll bring in SHB. Heavensward had the best story but worst raid content.

>people still believe Gordias was gear gated
A chinese group cleared it in i190 gear just a couple of days after it was released on their servers.

bilibili.com/video/av3600840/

Because at the time SCH were still dumb fucks about being the dps healer instead of maximising overall healer dps between both.

SCH
Dancer being fun, a comically huge horn for SMN and an Alexander summon.

Im sure those hacks helped them a ton as well. Also they had full knowledge of the fights before they went in. This isnt impressive in the slightest.

>they had knowledge
hey is that the sound of the goal posts being moved?

Being someone who used to actually use /vg/'s shitty MMO generals for maybe two years before disregarding them all as trash, most of these people already used Yea Forums for quite some time. These personalities form in game and they carry it over into the thread to be "cheeky". The anonymity allows them to fuck around with their friends in playful ways like you would with your bros but that's not what generals are for, that's generally not what this entire site is for and it always devolves into annoying, needless drama. They're just pseudo-tripfags and deserve to be treated as such.

Also some of them do it literally because it makes other more autistic users fucking seethe.

Gordias WAS gear gated if you did Manipulator as intended without the Pentacle sacs and Healer LB3.
Before that it was a complete crapshoot if unavoidable damage overlapped badly with Nisi ticks and would murder you no matter what defenses you stacked unless you were fully decked out on the left side and had Vit melds on your accessories.

If you let Nisi drop and just sac the Pentacles Manipulator is piss fucking easy, if that wasn't a thing only the top 0.1% would have ever cleared it before Echo it was so harshly tuned.

Piercing meta only still exists in that BRD DRG are mostly locked. The other two slots are basically random or depend on the fight. Much better than the hell in late HW and even early SB.

This is awful, what the fuck.

Allegedly MNK's sucks

Having full fucking knowledge of the encounter before you go in would absolutely help your clear time, dumbfuck. Also, they had a triple melee set up with MCH which they said was the secret of their success. So not only did they have full fight knowledge but they also had full meta knowledge.

That wasn't really the case, both healers contributed heavily in damage where they could. It was just that Clerics was still a toggle back then so you still had to have someone carry the main healing load in situations where both couldn't be in their DPS stance.

MNK's 30-60 does suck but the SB stuff kinda ties in to the MSQ and brings back the griffon and stuff so it's kind of interesting. Certainly a step up from the older ones.

The 50 quest where you go super saiyan is pretty good but other than that yeah it's lame. You get to see Hamon again in the 70 quests though.

Considering that in this case the "knowledge" is knowing how to exploit server ticks on order to unintentionally skip mechanics, no, that's not what you're hearing. A4S was gear gated and that's an objective fact, cheating the system to avoid mechanics does not somehow negate that.

It will be eternally shit because PGL was just that great.

It wasn't until MIdas they started to get their shit together, Cleric Stance is a poor excuse when it comes to maximising combined dps. Fuck Broil.

What job is the comfiest to level?

Would pound that bussy

The gatherers, put something on your other monitor or the TV and sleep till 70.

if it something was gated by gear then knowing everything about the fight wouldn't matter, dumbfuck.

>It wasn't until MIdas they started to get their shit together
If you were in a terrible group, maybe. Optimizing healer DPS has absolutely always been a thing, it just didn't leave the top end and make it to the much more casual masses until they started hitting for them gigantic roadblocks on DPS checks with fights like Living Liquid, which was in Gordias as well.

Gatherer is stressful if you don't have at least 95 % chance
