If you don't like healing and just want to dps with shorter queue times then sure.

SCHs are chad military tacticians with hot fairy assistants though

Not wanting to be gay is the gayest thing a person can do

These are your healers for the night, say something nice about them!

SCH actually has higher rDPS contribution than AST between their personal DPS, Chain Stratagem and Fey Wind while also offloading more GCD heals from both healers due to the abundance of oGCD heals and the fairy.

Sure, if you want to be a retarded pretend DPS

Why does Yea Forums think FFXIV has so many bad players, especially ones at the current level cap? Why is it that so many players can't grasp basic mechanics and do enough DPS, even if they're played through all current expansions? Why is telling somebody they're not playing well (when they should be by that point) a bannable offense?

I saw him at ok'zundu when I was there ferrying a nublet friend to aether currents.

>Why does Yea Forums think FFXIV has so many bad players
Because bad player doesn't get punish, next question

The game doesn't teach you shit if you buy a boost, not to mention people in duty finder would rather skip phases for certain content than actually learn to do them

The game never requires players to improve, which has cultivated a culture in the playerbase that despises being held to a standard, which in turn makes Yoshi-P more and more unwilling to try and challenge players out of fear of scaring them off. Binding Coil should have been required main story as was originally planned because then we wouldn't have this problem.

What would be a sufficient punishment for bad play?

>Binding Coil should have been required main story as was originally planned because then we wouldn't have this problem.
If the extra primals were the side content and coils were mandatory I think the update msq would be way less bloated

Public shame, that's why SE need in-game ACT.. Otherwise healers would afk and dps would watch netflix without any problems

Cutscenes have slightly different lengths depending on your language settings.

I like white mage, but I don't hate SCH
It just feels like the actual "healing" is done by an ai. But I haven't really leveled too far in it, so maybe does SCH get more proactive in healing the higher your level?
Plus WHM has Alkalurops, and I really like Alkalurops.

It's kino for afk healing expert roulette. For actual content just learn AST.

>Public shame

Alkalurops is the best WHM weapon but don't talk about it user. We don't need every shitter glamouring it.

The HP isn't for tanking there flapjack, it's to let the WAR not have to dodge circles and keep his DPS up.

Tanks need positionals while in dps stance just to give them something to do. Off tanking is so fucking boring.

PLD is still best tank in terms of actual utility, WAR and DRKs can but weep at the sheer suite of abilities we've got.

Good to see that even with SSDs, playing off an external drive is still shit

I'm like 70% of the way through Heavensward and I have no idea what people in these threads are talking about most of the time. How I even gear up once I hit 70? I'll probably hold off on going full autism until I do all of the Stormblood stuff, but still.

I unironically wish death on you

Tornado kick rotation is such dogshit to play that it isn't even worth it. It's not fun and feels slow as fuck. Instead I recommend a FUN way to play the job, such as what I do.

The idea is simple. A crit is worth more to a MNK than the damage it provides, due to chakra generation. Because of this you should stack the everliving fuck out of skillspeed until you reach a 1.8s GCD while putting the remaining stats into crit. This changes the rotation in such a way that makes us only use dragon kick/twin snakes every 3rd GCD rotation instead of every other one, vastly increasing the amount of bootshines we get over a fight (bootshine is FREE CRITS)

We also use perfect balance on CD (but never with internal release, at least until the end) and pump as many bootshines into it as possible. You don't want to use internal release with it because the crit rating isn't as effective when we are critting 100% of the time during it as opposed to the increase outside of it to crits that aren't 100%. Playing this way is both super fast, satisfying, and doesn't feel like ass. You'll be the chakra GOD and will generally improve your skills overall with how fast you'll be going and reacting to things (which is what MNK is all about)

It plays as blue mage should, with spells learned from monsters. It acquires spells as blue mage should, by interacting with monsters. I personally think it did a good bit to improve the community through PF spell farming.

It isn’t perfect, of course. Far too underpowered.

And those things could have still been implemented without making it limited. Making it limited does nothing except give Yoshida all the excuse he needs to cut any corners he wants.

This reminds me how much I hate the expacs and stat scaling resets that come with them.

Yeah, I'm really not looking forward to it. I've been playing that way since Sigmascape released, as you don't really have the stats to do so otherwise. I just want GL4 or something that makes Tornado Kick free during its buff to prevent this aids from being played.

Absolutely fine and competitive (orange parses) in ex trials and savage. It's really fun, especially when you get the extra GCDs in before you have to do mechanics you would otherwise miss.

You have special icons above the card that tells you what do they do in both normal and simple mode.
It was viable but why bother taking it when you can get NIN.

FATEs give shit exp for BLU. You have to grind regular monsters.

>Absolutely fine and competitive (orange parses) in ex trials and savage. It's really fun, especially when you get the extra GCDs in before you have to do mechanics you would otherwise miss.
Sounds neat then.

>And those things could have still been implemented without making it limited
It would be absolutely impossible to balance in a game like XIV. SE would have to use BLU with access to every learnable skill in the game as the baseline to be about on par with the other jobs and completely axed basically anything unique that could be used to potentially circumvent fight mechanics. BLU would be either downright worthless and a completely wasted slot if you hadn't gotten your full skillset yet, or just about on the same level as everything else when you did. It would be ridiculously unsatisfying to play, putting in hundreds of hours to learn some abilities that will just barley make you as capable as the normal jobs is the opposite of a fun time.

Run around S.Than using the job switch exp exploit for about an hour. Congrats, you are now lv50 BLU.

I've enjoyed playing it a lot. Having fun playing the game is more important to me than minmaxxing, especially when no content in the game (even ultimate) requires you to do so. If you're good at the game you'll do good numbers and pull more than your weight anyways.

They are cheating. Just like voice chat, looking up guides on the internet, and everything else the game doesn't let you do inside the game.

You're an idiot, which isn't surprising if you're defending BLU.
>putting in hundreds of hours to learn some abilities
Not an issue if they don't attach RNG to learning spells. That was only ever a thing in XI and not something needed in XIV.
>SE would have to use BLU with access to every learnable skill in the game as the baseline to be about on par with the other jobs
Okay? How is that an issue?
>completely axed basically anything unique that could be used to potentially circumvent fight mechanics
Oh no, how will you live without Sticky Tongue? You can still have unique spells like Self-Destruct and White Wind if you actually use your brain for a moment and balance them with party content in mind instead of shitting out something unbalanced because you don't care.
>BLU would be either downright worthless and a completely wasted slot if you hadn't gotten your full skillset yet, or just about on the same level as everything else when you did.
So exactly like every other job? And before you respond with
>B-BUT HOW WILL THEY GUARANTEE YOU GET ALL YOUR SPELLS BEFORE ENDGAME?!?!?!?!?
I point you to their job quests that already require you to go find certain spells before accepting them. Just use that system so that you have to go hunt spells yourself before doing your quests. In that sense, the quests serve the same purpose of getting you your skills, but still give you the satisfaction of finding them yourself.
>B-B-BUT PEOPLE WILL SKIP THE QUESTS
That's something they can already do with every other job in the game. Why is that not acceptable for BLU?

The worst part is that BLU is the job that changes the most throughout the series. They're always wildly different from the last incarnation. But this is the one that Yoshi's autism refused to even slightly consider changing.

If you kill a mob in 1 hit you will never be treated as if you're in combat, meaning you can then quickly switch to BLU between when the enemy dies and before experience is gained, giving you way higher exp than intended. The devs are already aware of the exploit and said that it's not punishable, but they'd prefer if you didn't use it.

Doing something that you should have done doesn't make me think higher of you. Should I thank/praise a car dealership for giving tires with the purchase of a car?

I seriously don't get why people like limited jobs, true to their name, they are jobs that can't do the vast majority of content, nor can they even do multiple solo content, like Squadron or PotD
billing it as a solo job was an odd choice considering literally every other combat job can do solo content better

I'd say it's more like thanking a car dealership for including a windshield.

I don't own a car, is it fun?

>Not an issue if they don't attach RNG to learning spells.
RNG is only an extreme issue on the mandatory dungeon-boss abilities like Mind Blast and primal abilities, drop-rate is high enough that you'll generally get what you want otherwise unless your luck's shit.
>That was only ever a thing in XI and not something needed in XIV.
This game circlejerks XI and has since 1.0, do you think they're going to stop now? What makes you think they wouldn't theme BLU after XI's version when almost all the ARR jobs are patterned after XI's version in one way or another? Even SAM lifts most of its skill names from XI, like Meikyo Shisui.
>Okay? How is that an issue?
BLU being balanced around having all of its potential skills means it's going to feel like absolute shit to play and level, even moreso than it already does with 1000 Needles being your main attack up until ~lv. 45.
>You can still have unique spells like Self-Destruct and White Wind if you actually use your brain for a moment and balance them with party content in mind instead of shitting out something unbalanced because you don't care.
Suicide tools will never be balanced for a raid environment. White Wind is gonna have a hell of an effect no matter what, being a wide-radius heal.
>So exactly like every other job?
No?
>I point you to their job quests that already require you to go find certain spells before accepting them.
Their current job quests are meant to force you to go explore certain pieces of content and bumble around in ARR's overworld. Applying your system to the ARR spellbook you're going to be forced to either run raids or Masked Carnivale in full (High Voltage is obtained from a Binding Coils enemy), grind Hard/EX primals, and complete several dungeons to have access to endgame in the name of having all your skills.
>Why is that not acceptable for BLU?
Tanks, DPS, and healers have basic skillsets that allow for dungeon completion as holdovers from their class, even skipping. BLU does not.

The fun of driving changes based on how well people where you live can drive too.

explain to me why a job designed for solo content can't actually obtain all its spells solo is a good idea.

Its the best healer, thats for sure.

You're assuming automatically that Yoshida's not lying, which is rarely ever the case

>RNG is only an extreme issue on the mandatory dungeon-boss abilities like Mind Blast and primal abilities, drop-rate is high enough that you'll generally get what you want otherwise unless your luck's shit.
It shouldn't be an issue at all, but Yoshida himself said that the difficulty of getting spells is a reason he made it limited. Because it wouldn't be fair if you grinded out a spell and it was equally as useful as a BLM one. It's fucking insanity when he was the one that gave it RNG in the first place.
>This game circlejerks XI and has since 1.0, do you think they're going to stop now?
BLU only circlejerks XI in the spell RNG though.
>BLU being balanced around having all of its potential skills means it's going to feel like absolute shit to play and level
It would literally be no different from any other job you god damn idiot.
>Suicide tools will never be balanced for a raid environment.
It could be, you just have no imagination.
>White Wind is gonna have a hell of an effect no matter what, being a wide-radius heal.
Again, you're an idiot. Make White Wind heal 1/3rd of your max HP and/or give it a cooldown. Whoa, really hard to balance there champ! Crazy!
>Applying your system to the ARR spellbook you're going to be forced to either run raids or Masked Carnivale in full (High Voltage is obtained from a Binding Coils enemy), grind Hard/EX primals, and complete several dungeons to have access to endgame in the name of having all your skills.
None of which is any different from doing a job quest. And again, you don't have to grind if you remove RNG from the equation.
>Tanks, DPS, and healers have basic skillsets that allow for dungeon completion as holdovers from their class, even skipping. BLU does not.
Remove RNG and they will naturally acquire a skillset. You can also make use of the totem system.

nice meme.

Actual explanation, what is actually happening is that the problem lies in the core of the EXP system and is impossible to fix in a minor or even major patch because its a huge deal, for this reason it was pushed back to ShB launch. From what they said its a huge legitimate fuck up from the dev team and as such they wont take actions against players, because the exploit is actually "legal", the system is working as intended.

Also, as personal experience, when you work in a development team for anything, part of your plan is leaving some weeks before deadline free in order to fix unexpected shit, which is the case over here. Having a tight schedule with the upcoming expansion, the most logical move would be to address the issue on the fix-my-shit-up weeks instead of pushing back the current schedule, because other areas depend on this time as well. It probably was a difficult decision to leave it for later (as BLU underperformed in part due to the exploit) but it was the only way, for once I felt bad for these nips.

>didnt get world first in any ultimates

They're damned if they do and damned if they don't, you have these Yea Forums threads alone that are full of armchair-developer porchmonkeys that will cry lazy if the game doesn't drastically change with every content-patch/expac, then if something does change they wheel around to crying there were cut corners. Hell, during the night hours when Yea Forums's userbase in general shifts over, suddenly if you're not spending most of the thread complaining about the game you're a bootlicker. I wouldn't listen to any of you fuckers if my life depended on it; where XIV is concerned Yoshida's team is actually fairly decent about seeing the "general playerbase" in terms of acting on complaints, instead of listening to Tigole equivalents that won't ever be satisfied no matter what path is taken.

while they're a bunch of faggots I can understand why the outrage happened, yoshi and co really didn't help with the way they like to act mysterious about shit, and the team had previously added genders to roes and highlanders and claimed they wouldn't do single gender shit again back in 2.0, so people just assumed they wouldn't do 1.0 style single gender races and got hype for something that wasn't coming because yoshi was being mysterious instead of just coming out and saying it.

>Yoshida's team is actually fairly decent about seeing the "general playerbase" in terms of acting on complaints, instead of listening to Tigole equivalents that won't ever be satisfied
I agree. I'm not really shitting on the devs for what they're doing, I'm mostly shitting on the people that are sucking their dicks for doing what should be standard.

That's clearly a Faerie screenshot user

Sounds like you don't have an argument. Here, let me lay out an easy Self-Destruct use in actual content.
Math out a proper potency so that using it will deal roughly the same amount of damage you would have been dealing without rez weakness for the next minute. Or maybe slightly less damage so it's more likely to be a dps loss. Basically, you're trading weakness for the next minute for that damage upfront. It then becomes a utility tool for pushing phases or wiping out adds.

Here's another possibility. Don't have it kill you, have it drop you to 1 HP or give you rez weakness without actually killing you.

my only real complaint is that they spread their workload too thin with adding two drastically different races
I'm not going to say the team as a whole is lazy or they don't deserve any kind of kudos, but from what we see right now, they bit off more than they can chew and need to make compromises
also most people complain because a lot of discussion can be had through that, its not always negative, not to mention we currently have very little to talk about
once the benchmark and new skill video comes out, discussion will be more constructive once again, aside from the faggots calling everyone trannies every other post
adding two new races is commendable, but the devs have stretched themselves thin and it shows

Its a sastasha roulette episode

Lets be honest, they're adding one race total.

>While they fixed the glasses problem they didn't yet fix the rest of the headgear
They didnt fix anything, they gifted us the glasses. The new races were never supposed to use headgear of any kind so its not something that was wrong, it is how it is. Even like that they went out of their way to give the community a gift, I know you dont give a shit about it but thats what happened, really.

If there are no more delays, yes.

Finally someone that gets it, the glasses were never suppose to be a thing alongside the helmets. You better thank the devs because they went out of their way to compromise their vision for Viera and Hrothgar.

At least it wasn't AV.

The only real red flag I've gotten about it has been the abrupt ending of Stormblood leading to it, otherwise this is really about as rocky a start as Heavensward and Stormblood had.

All signs pointing to yes. At least the story can't be worse than SB.

It's pretty good, I'll scooch over so you can try some. You don't know what you're missing out on.

there's no redflag, stupid hw nostalgiafag
shb is going to be the best patch and you're gonna love it

That's what I've been saying ever since the Hrothgar reveal. People were asspained about no male Viera but this allowed them to do equivalent work of adding just one new race while being able to market it as two new races.

I accept your concession.

Pretty much take any piece of i400 gear that has SkS as its highest stat, even if it has det or whatever on it. You don't need a Eureka weapon with SkS on it, but it helps a ton and you could probably get another crit focused piece if you do.

Pretty much, just avoid PB/IR overlap and don't use PB with RoF.

>They said ShB will be their biggest expansion so far
I'll believe it when I see it. This dev team has severe problems when trying to do too much. It leaves everything feeling half baked.

I was on perhaps the worst world of darkness roulette I've ever had today. People dying to fucking everything. Doom, the instant death where one guy's tethered and you gotta run out of it, flares, etc. Cerberus was a motherfucking shitshow. Like 4 people went into the stomach, nobody was killing or tanking adds. Cerberus got up to 8 stacks. I used healer LB3 to revive people and we still wiped. Thank god cloud of darkness was just mostly kill the adds, although we nearly did wipe since nobody stood in the meteors. What. the fuck. Is wrong with people?

Casting flare while you're in umbral ice makes it hit like a wet noodle since it won't benefit from the astral fire buff

>PLD the best
hahahaHAHAHAHAHA

Can you stop acting like a retard? You’re going to attract more of them.

They're barely more different than Au Ra genders, the problem is their tools and workflow for gear fitting are shit. Yoshida dropped whatever number for all the gear in the game having to be manually adjusted but that's retarded when so much gear is a variation of another that fits the same. I bet some poor dev is actually copy pasting the animation data for 40 generic tank cuirass with the same base geometry instead of it being shared.

Hey some of them are straight, theyre played by girls.

Oh, I misunderstood what you meant, casting Flare while still in Umbral Ice. My bad

How do people play this shit without buying a level skip pass? It's so fucking boring and is so fucking back loaded that there is literally nothing to enjoy about the game until you reach end game and doing that alone take a shit ton of hours/days/weeks. It would be fine if the story was fully voiced but nope. Constant reading, then travel here, then read some more, then travel there and read some fucking more. And the worst part about all of this is when you actually get to fight the combat is boring as fuck too. Nothing feels like it has any impact.

The only good about this game are the social aspect. GGs if you're a loner. You have going to wanna commit suicide if you play though this game solo. And guess what, that's what you'll be doing 99% of the time because you have to read, travel, and more reading. Every now and then you get to go into party dungeons and they feel like LIFE compared to everything else you do in this game.

I couldn't do it. I feel like I wasted my time and my money with this shit.

you would be right in ARR, but level 50 isn't endgame and there's a shit ton of content at both levels 50 and 60, 20 and 10 levels before the endgame, respectively

Bringing down Dalamud wasn't a Meteor spell though. It was just called Project Meteor.

The like one sideplot point I was interested in about the aether starting to thin everywhere just got completely forgotten when all the scions started folding? Or did I miss something?

>I really fucking wish everyone would stop wearing the jeans as jeans.

Dalamud wasn't a spell, you lorelet

It's not forgotten, just on the sidelines for now. In fact, it's been on the sidelines since right before the bloody banquet. A researcher you were escorting around was talking about how the aether has been slowly thinning since the Battle of Silvertear Skies 15 years ago.

Didnt shattoto cause one calamity by casting meteor

toxic and a bigot, as expected from vergil posters...

I don't know or give a shit about all MMOs. This is my first mmo and it's so bad I don't know why anyone would spend thousands of hours playing this bullshit. Like,

The Combat - Boring af. Nothing has any impact. You can't even move has the time when you use skills. What the fuck type of gameplay design is this? Not to mention there's no dodge or block button. The fucking enemies just stand in front of you and you stand in front of them using shitty animated attacks.

The Questing - It doesn't feel like an adventure at all. It just telling you to go here then go there GO EVERYWHERE! AND MAKE SURE YOU READ EVERYTHING!! And the naming of things is... sometimes good but mostly it's fucking terrible.

I bought it to see why it was so popular and this will be the last time I ever touch a MMO. This genre is for retard.

No, she was bored and dragged down a meteor and then made the Stardust Rod out of it. That's also not the same Meteor spell you use in LB3. The LB version is actually just condensing all the heavy aether released throughout the fight and dropping it on the enemy, rather than pulling a meteor out of space.

Hey maybe instead of wasting that time making hats for FotM races they could devote their time to adding back an extra dungeon per patch or making the open world actually useful?

She was bored and cast Meteor for fun, used the resulting debris to make Stardust Rods and other chunks of that meteor are why crafters have Dark Matter. There's at least two or three different things that call themselves Meteor (Project Meteor, the Allagan spell Meteor, Shatotto's Meteor which may or may not be the same thing, the LB3 Meteor) and the differences are largely semantic since the point to all of them is to drop something huge, heavy, and on fire out of the sky.

That wasn't a spell. Nael pulled down Dalamud using the Lunar Transmitter.

>anyone but fem lala or male elezen wearing glasses
Absolutely disgusting

The early Mhachi found out that a meteor was heading their way. In order to save Mhach and probably the world, Shattoto created black magic. Even then, it didn't destroy the meteor, it just disrupted its trajectory enough to miss the planet.

Can I wear the boots at least?

I don't think it's said if that was the same Stardust Rod meteor and the story just got mixed up over the years, but that is something I thought about.

Does anyone else in the story ever acknowledge that godbert and julyan are basically gods in hyur form

Not in the main story, though Hildibrand doesn't feature in MSQ at all and Godbert only very rarely as a Syndicate member (and typically as the Gold Saucer's proprietor) anyways

>defiance until 54 or when insecure
>deliverance from 54 to 80+
is this correct

how is the feast anyways? never done it. is it fun?

His goldsmithing trade is also canon. The hildibrand adventures stuff doesn't apply though.

battle of silvertear skies summoned the warrior of light as a primal of hydaelyn. At the end of the game's life, we need to sacrifice ourselves to give back all the aether we gathered to rebirth a new world

Oh it's loads of fun. Healers that never die, DPS that use wet noodles for weapons, and tanks with nerfed cc.

>complaining about story in an RPG

the state of zoomers

You stance dance.
There is absolutely no situation where the WAR shouldn't pull the boss and be in Defiance at the time, you simply don't lost anything for it and the extra Enmity is immensily valuable. Outside of your opener it depends on the fight and your group. There's still many phases and circumstances where you want to stay in Defiance if your group isn't going for speedkills.

I like it when my teammates aren't at the bottom of the skill floor trying to lick it, but this late in the season its a lot of that.

We don't need to be a primal. Midgardsormr reveals that he had given up his physical form and melded into the Lifestream so Hydaelyn could call him back out when needed, which she did that day. The Warrior of Light could be the same. It's even pondered once if the Echo's resistance to death prevents Echo-users from actually truly joining the Lifestream after death and that's how the Echo always reappears as a Calamity approaches.

>It's even pondered once if the Echo's resistance to death prevents Echo-users from actually truly joining the Lifestream after death and that's how the Echo always reappears as a Calamity approaches.
I predict the Warriors of Darkness not being dead and actually being very pissed back on the First because of that

I rarely leave it if I don’t trust the healers, and I never trust healers.

I'll be extremely disappointed if we don't see Arbert again.

Never played an MMO before but have always been intrigued by them. Is this the one to try at this point? I already like Final Fantasy.

The 1st is going to need defenders once its saved. WoL can't always go back and forth, so maybe they're called back by the end of ShB or some of the Scions stay behind with Minifilia

I just hope they are gone bro. Don't really want to deal with their whiny asses.

Yeah, XIV is designed exactly for people like you.

well, whichever the case may be one common motif of final fantasy is sacrifice--and it would be far more poignant for the player character to be the one instead of a designated npc. Game from then on would be a revisiting of memories in some dream world that will never change (since expansions are no longer coming)

>I already like Final Fantasy

Then it's a good choice. FFXIV is arguably the healthiest MMO on the market atm.

Reunite the shards. Bring the pieces back together again. Make it whole.

No way, I'm thrilled that Balmung is gone.

So wanting to be gay is less gay than not wanting to be gay?

Now you guys only have yourselves to blame when you attract all the shitters.

Now you've only got Faerie, Gilgamesh and Cactuar to contend with if you're on Aether, or Ultros and Excalibur if you're on Primal.

Using a parser isn't cheating by any stretch. Using a trigger to learn the fight is a great idea. Once you know the fight well, you should disable your triggers or else they become crutches you rely on. This is my problem with trigger-dependent players, they don't bother learning the fight so they just wipe the group and say "sorry bro my trigger didn't fire" as if that's a valid excuse, it's fucking aggravating. I dropped out of voice due to a disconnect in UCOB last night and got through two whole Nael and add phases without triggers OR callouts because I know the damn mechanics.

I hate triggerfags so goddamn much

With the new expansion coming out in a bit less than 2 months now would be the perfect time to get into it.
You should be just about caught up with the story and will be on a level playing field with the rest of the playerbase when Shadowbringers launches.

And yeah, if you like FF you will probably enjoy this game. It's a gigantic love letter to the series. Personally I don't really care for FF as a whole and feel like it almost focuses too much on that, but it's a very solid MMO outside of the blatant fanservice as well so I'm still having lots of fun.

Fray and Myste are both just exaggerations of portions of the WoL's psyche, with Fray more directly being a Jungian shadow and flavored by being the remnants of the soul-crystal's previous owner hence Fray knows conjury to help you tank in your intro instance, even though you couldn't have possibly known Fray knew a bit of conjury. Fray in particular wants you to consider yourself first and foremost, but exaggerated to the point of being destructive towards everyone else around him. He settles down into a proper "darkside" after you slap him down.

It's not forgotten it just isn't advancing until the expansion releases. Part of all this talk about another potential calamity on the horizon is referencing the thinning of the aether and the last time that happened was in the days before Dalamud descended. It's just a big cliffhanger plot point right now.

Nah, the Hildibrand stuff is almost non-canon as far as the MSQ in concerned. Godbert has appeared once or twice but the only things about him that are acknowledged are his wealth, syndicate seat, him owning the Gold Saucer and his goldsmithing prowess. Nothing else ever really comes up and Julyan is never mentioned outside of the Hildibrand stuff as far as I know.

Within the Hildibrand storyline that stuff is more well known though. Or at least people learn quickly.
>Cyr learning to back away when Godbert takes his pants off

I actually like it too

gardening is always worth it. It prints money and makes the house pay for itself over time.

Gardening is still profitable if you can be sure to log in every day to water your plants. Don't expect a to make a ton but it's basically free money if you're actively playing.

There's no reason they can't repeat jobs. You should look at a list of FFXI's Trusts some time.

Nah man, he’s your stalwart heal buddy. I never leave him behind.

>Thinking 14s trusts will be anything like 11s

I'm honestly surprised they didn't since onmyoji are kinda' broad in terms of magical abilities across their depictions, and the whole point of Othard is the far east arriving at similar magical conclusions as the rest of the world in their own forms like ninjutsu for aetherial manipulation. It's really weird that Geomancers are just their answer to conjurers/white mages and onmyoji are their answer to thaumaturges/black mages.

At a certain point you can’t one shot shit with 1000 needles and the grind becomes a chore. I didn’t feel that bad abusing it, especially with the fucking grind from primal spells.

>thinking they won't be because you need something to complain about

Attached: 1543187704351.png (348x319, 39K)

Geomancers and Onmyoji are a bit more complex than that. Geomancers are a weird mix of all our current healer jobs but then have their own culture and specialties on top of that. Onmyoji are also thaumaturges, plus arcanists, plus void mages. And apparently they do fucked up human experiments.

Of course they're gonna repeat jobs. They can't sell you a statue that comes with a trust if its not repeating a job they've already covered. There's way more characters that could be trusts than there are jobs.

Will there be any good reason for trusts to exist lorewise?

Fuuuuuuuck

>They can't sell you a statue that comes with a trust if its not repeating a job they've already covered.
Fuck me. I didn't consider that but it's absolutely going to fucking happen.

AV isn’t that bad, unless you have a tank that’s using caster gear because he doesn’t understand how glamours work.

Anybody currently traveling with you or that you could conceivably ask for help could be a trust. Heavensward could have used Estinien, Ysayle, and Alphinaud as trust characters, for example.

So what sort of small things are you expecting to be in the 4.58 patch?

In FFXI the lore explanation was that it was a type of magic that created a clone using the memories of your bond with that person. We'll have to see for XIV. The SMN questline revealed that you can make an egi of a person but it requires an Allagan supercomputer to run the arcanima calculations.

what do you get this mount from?

Attached: ffxiv_dx11 2019-05-12 17-01-24.jpg (2560x1440, 893K)

Well, in FFXI they're memories of people who've had a great impact on your life brought forth to help you fight, not the actual people themselves. Its really only one step away from the warrior of light somehow miraculously finding 3/7/23 more adventurers to go on wacky hijinx with at a moments notice

Which means that any and all Trusts are not safe from death.

Heaven on High

>it was a type of magic that created a clone using the memories of your bond with that person.
If there weren't doujins using this logic, I'd be very disappointed.

I fucking love that summoning magic is based on math. Don't know why, it just adds a layer of awesome

I hope they remove the weekly cap on Genesis

It adds to the cool factor when you look into real life magic and realize how intertwined it is with mathematics and geometry. Look into Pythagoras's ideas of sacred math.

I actually liked this. The lore also made it so that even enemies could become trusts or characters at different points in their life.
>Summoning all the ark angels as your party
Might not be the most meta team but it sure was fun.

Trusts are just going to be glorified Command Missions let's face it. They can't be assed to come up with something unique and fun for once.

They won't. They didn't remove it on Poetics in the final ARR patch or Scripture in HW.

Pay up, goy.

Hydatos nerfs is about the only thing I expect since its the only eureka zone that hasn't received any to my knowledge.

Prob'ly not but I could see them adding trust customization to later patches or expacs

Hadn't heard about the class change shit, kind of don't care anymore anyways. I guess I should do it before they fix it but I'm also trying to catch up a lot of regular leveling, including needing to finally get some stuff to 60 so I can get the Garo cheevo and not need to carry the gear around until the end of time.

Class-change exploit with BLU is basically you kill something as a max-level job, change to BLU before the EXP actually registers, and BLU gets a free kill added to their EXP bar. This works for all jobs, actually, but BLU is the only one where it actually does anything because overworld EXP ain't shit for any other jobs.

I could do a lot of things but wanting to is another. I'm someone without a relic about Zenith or a single non-combat class over level 13.

well i did starter and its kinda hard to know exactly what fucking server is full of what.
i chose marlboro because fuck those monsters

"you are the only constant" applies to drama as well

nuh ahh

SB is pretty much the only time I've ever only had DPS at ilvl requirement for a significant length of time, usually tank is my MSQ class.

That's because Frontlines is actually a lot of fun. Feast is full of cheaters and RW is garbage.

Shatter is bad, though.

Attached: Flames.jpg (580x960, 78K)

We give the off-tank oriented jobs a more comprehensive set of abilities to DPS with while remaining interesting to play and able to tank, see PLD's current hackneyed-but-trying Holy Spirit

Shatter sucks, no one wants to kill people, cowards, seize is much better.

What does that have to do with SE's shitty matchmaking?

Rival Wings is fun. Frontlines is RNG garbo except for Secure.

give tanks more buttons to push, being an OT sucks, you play like a dps with 70% less buttons
which makes all the people who suck at it that much more annoying and no one ever wants to MT when they queue as a tank

Stop OTing in shitty content. An OT in this game is just the tank that didnt pull, you should be tank swapping constantly to make use of both tank CD's instead of just one.

tank anxiety is a fucking meme, tanking is the easiest role, what kind of retard are you?

I fell for it resubbed and all. I don't know what I was thinking this game is not an MMO and the people that play this game are all trannies. Im serious I see a lot of "women" on this game. But thats impossible, women don't play video games. So this is a tranny game and they are insufferable. But that aside, noone really talks in chat or anything, it feels like a single player game almost. I dont know why they dont just go single player turn based or something and have it have sub optimal online esq shit like dark souls integrated like system or xenoblade X's/dragons dogma. I dont know, this game seems subpar for an "MMO" but as a game it ain't all bad. Just not what really anyone who wants a decent MMO is looking for.

trying way too hard bringing up trannies every other sentence

How the fuck do I make the spell name not appear beside the damage? I enjoy this game but the HUD/Ui is so cancerous @ default settings

The women are the catboys with the occasional gay mixed in

What is the best looking katana, and why is it the Gordian Katana?

Make a permanent cover so you take damage for the MT the entire time, and you can toggle it off in case the retard decides to stand in an aoe to kill you.

Women love mmo's though. They can play dress up and attention whore just like real life.

maybe if youre so far on the spectrum there's no hope for you.

Better than trying to fight people with XIV's cancerous PvP combat where 1 healer invalidates the damage of an entire team. Piloting the robots is fun.

I really like the dead hive katana, goes well with my vath glamour

You can't. There's only 4 options for flying text in this game: Big, Huge, Enormous, or Off.

Someone explain potd to me. Is it faster to do 1-20 or 1-50?

They really do need to do something about the fucking healers in PVP, their survivability is just way too fucking ridiculous.

I feel like dating a woman who plays MMORPGs is 10 or 20 different red flags though

potd is just press attack button for 10 hours and level decently fast. Went from 30 to 50 in around 2 days.

DPS stance causes all damage taken from the front to critically hit at reduced percentage.
Reduce overall Tank HP, increase overall resistances. Have actual mitigation oriented GCDs rather than unga bunga oGCDs.

51-60 is the floor you should be spamming for leveling progress, doing it up to level 50 is advised

Do you faggets just sit there poorly spamming your 5th grade level PVP rotations and hope healers die?

me too friend, me too. it hurts

And do you think I'm not using every goddamn CC I can shit out against these faggots? Healers absolutely require at least two people to kill minimum unless you have an LB stocked.

>install cactbot
>never fuck up anything

Do people unironically think the Noctis outfit looks good?

I use the glove on my BLM galmour. The /bstance makes your character tug on the wrist of the glove exactly. But yeah the rest of it is a hot mess

Doesn't matter if they speedhack.

If it's feast you have more than one person available to coordinate, if it's frontlines then you holding them there for an extended period of time is still beneficial since it means they aren't helping their group with heals. If it's wolves den platform duels then I dunno, kill yourself I guess why would you even be doing that.

If they were wearing the survival shirt/pants anyways then Noctis' set is a straight upgrade

>Just cheat lmao

Everyone's doing it.
Smoke it.

Call me old fashioned, I'll just stick to actually learning the fights, there hasn't been an actually strict one since PEPSIMAN AND THE RAPE CASTLE anyways

>I'm bad so I need to use third party software to help me

do you need help wiping your own ass?

Why shouldn't a healer be killable 1v1? Healers can easily kill DPS 1v1 just by spamming their shit tier stone spell.

There's plenty of other stuff to do to help your team. If you don't like picking up ceruleum go stop the other team from picking up ceruleum, then you can have all the epic frag compilation kills you want. Unless the player you're trying to kill is a healer or has a healer with them, of course.

No, they really don't. If a DPS could kill a healer 1v1 then what's the fucking point of even having a healer you dipshit.

Who is the best NPC and why is it Momodi

>one mostly human race with one expansions worth of stuff

You're right. This is completely unacceptable.

I don't "need" it for mechanics, but seeing exactly when you move allow you to be greedy.

Miounne is equally good but doesn't have the sheer story relevance, same as Limsa's equivalent

To help people recover and keep them fighting longer or get them back in the fight faster. Not keep them alive through the focused burst of 4 people.

Because the team doesn't have as many healers? The DPS outnumber them by quite a bit and have better LBs. If the healer can't out heal one DPS how is he supposed to have any chance against multiple?

I think the devs are lazy faggots that should have just increased the character creator before they released new races but.
Heavensward only had ARR + It's own stuff to include in there.
SHB has literally ARR HW AND SB stuff including it's own shit to fit on the new races.
They're completely seperate.

>0.5 + 0.5 = 2 races
>3 expansions worth of stuff
wtf are you talking about?

>To help people recover and keep them fighting longer
Except you can't outheal a single DPS so every game becomes a Hotline Miama-esque instant death rapefest where the best strategy is "We have more ranged"

expansions worth of stuff
He means that there's more shit they have to adjust for the new races now than there was for HW

>3 expansions worth of stuff
ARR, HW, SB, and ShB items have to fit them.

Shadowbringers isnt on Green Man Gaming and I'm a bit reluctant to buy the expansion on the squeenix store. GMG tends to have the xpacs for around 15% cheaper as they did with SB and HW back in the day.

Has anyone bought their ShB key on other websites?

By having his team there to protect him.

It's fine to outheal a single DPS, temporarily. Eventually you should run out of MP and cooldowns. An XIV healer can keep going indefinitely. If healing wasn't so retarded there wouldn't be a need for burst to be so overwhelming either. Robots in Rival Wings can't be healed at all but they can still last a long time and get a lot done if their team is supporting them.

SE stopped giving other stores the option to preorder the game since the way preorder codes were handled was such a massive shitshow in SB.
If you want to buy it on GMG you will have to wait until the game is actually out for real.

Oh, I see. All they have to do for hrothgar though is modify roe equipment to fit the waist/hunch/head so that saves a lot of work.

You have no idea what you're talking about. If healing weren't so high because damage wasn't so high we'd be in the exact same situation. You shouldn't be able to queue as DPS and action hero your way through every encounter mashing buttons like a retard until the guy falls over, having to coordinate to kill healers is the only decent part of PVP and the second the healer drops their group dies.

>PvP
you get what you deserve

shatter is asscancer, seize or fuck off

>seize is better than shatter
they are both rng bullshit
>tfw won in shatter earlier by completely avoiding the other teams with no healers and only 7 dudes

I like murdering people and shatter doesn't allow because everyone is a fucking pussy

You don't think it's fucking stupid that one guy carries the entire team just by virtue of his role? That a single healer is worth multiple of anyone else? In Feast you could get the world's best tank, world's best melee and world's best ranged and if you put them together with a shit healer, they couldn't even beat a mediocre team. If healers are going to be just plain worth more than others, then the only reason everyone doesn't play healer is because there are game modes where you have to hit static NPC enemies that don't get healed.

Frankly, healing as a dedicated role shouldn't even exist in PvP games period. The only way to make them worth playing is to make them disgustingly overpowered like in XIV to the point where the entire combat system revolves around them.

>Don't make call outs in feast as melee: Get called a shitter.
>Make call outs in feast as melee: Ranged doesn't line up burst and I get blamed

What the fuck does a SAM do?

Must be some backwater EU server.

>Haha why do we need healers for this content? Roles are stupid.

No, I don't think it's stupid that the Healers/Tanks are the most important in a fucking holy trinity MMO. It sounds like you just have a problem with current MMO design in general, which is totally subjective and you're entitled to your opinion but really i'm not sure how this can come as a surprise to you.

Weird as they have it up for EU though.

I'm tempted to switch to ranged in feast, but I still want to pretend that I'll ever get the 1000 win melee title.
Guess I'll just "Nice Job!" my way to never leaving Silver.

I play on EU Chaos and NA Aether, Chaos PvP is way fucking more active than Aether's

Confirmed to never happen, kill yourself already, coward.

The holy trinity paradigm is based on PvE encounter design against scripted bosses that don't heal themselves. I think most people would also think its bullshit if after every 20 second burst phase, the boss casted one spell that healed themselves back to full, and just kept doing that until enrage.

the biggest EU server, Ragnarok

literally do not care because XIV pvp is nothing but a joke mode slapped together just so the game technically has pvp for the complete autists that it's a dealbreaker for.

He never asked for this.

Cool story bro

Yes, this is a PVE game. I'm sorry to be the one to break it to you that PVP is a side attraction and is balanced around killing the opposing healer but at least now you know!

Question, it says that I can get 14000 HP as a SAM but even with the HP up thing I can at max get 13500.
Did they nerf SAM's HP or something?

You're playing a race with lower Vit.

Then why did you even talk about PVE when we were clearly discussing PVP you fucking retard

Really? how fucking gay. So Au ra is just naturally more tanky?

Because it's Holy trinity PVP? Is that actually difficult for you to understand? Are you okay user? Maybe you should try something more freeform like ESO if you don't want to feel less important than Healers.

Where did you read that? melee have 13k health

If I remember right Xaela and one of the Roegadyn tribes share the highest Vit stat.
Lalafell Dunesfolk have the lowest.

I'm like 99 percent sure racial bonuses don't mean shit in PVP

He's fuckin with you 13k is base melee

They do apply, feel free to take a buddy of a different race to the wolves' den and switch to the same class to try it out.

I went ahead and preordered from Amazon with their credit card, since also in the same boat for GMG. I figure if it pops up for the usual 20-25% off before launch, I'll end up cancelling the Amazon order (which already gave me a preorder code for the earrings and early ShB play) and swap over to the digital CE for ShB like I wanted to do in the first place.

He's talking about HP values in actual game modes not dumbass duel pier shit

Does this function in a way which would let you level a DoH via combat xp?

how do i even play dark knight? i just boosted it because im a lazy fuck and it's a fuckload more interesting that pld or war but im having a hard time grasping the 'meta' for it, it might be because my healer hud and hotkeys are limiting myself, as i've rebound q,e,r,t,f,g,z,x,c,v and all of their ctrl,alt, and shift varients for abilities and shuffled my hud into prime healer positions for watching hp and keeping track of boss cast times but that can't be the only reason...

DoH don't gain exp from combat even if you somehow managed to kill something with it, so no.
It's really only useful for BLU since they get drastically increased exp from open world mobs.

Wait I'm a retard, ignore me.

Christ. The point of augmenting yourself is to get cool sleek muscly robot arms not fucking robo-skeltal arms and legs.

you can get queues in wow pvp 24/7
this shit is dead

Not really. BLU has a huge multipler to killing enemies, other classes do not. Besides, DOH cannot gain combat exp.

Nah, you really don't.
I play arena pretty regularly.
