Blue mage is fine in xiv, only shitters that wanted it to be overpowered DF hero complain

>_____ in ffxi
>_____ in ffxiv
Man it really hurts how much better most of the way shit works in xi is. I can't believe I still fucking play it, too. What a good fucking game, even if post-75 is underwhelming mostly

Blue mage is a dumb class anyways, I for one am glad it was made into a joke minigame

What games are you’ll going to play when the server goes down ?

Not bad

And to no surprise, BLU is a fucking well made job in XI where it gives you freedom to create an archetype and has some interesting niches.

Eroge

I dont play ffxiv. Is that the auto-walk button or something?

Unfortunately they decided they NEEDED to bring over the customization aspect and thus couldn't make it a real job. As much as I loved XI's BLU, the customization is not a thing in any other game. They have a set spell list, roughly the same size as any other mage. It did not need customization in XIV, all it needed was to learn spells from monsters in some way.

It locks your character into "slow walk mode".
Even has an icon indicating you are in this mode next to server timers etc.

Unironically F-list.. I don't do lewd things in-game, but I enjoy them out of game.

There really needs to be a way to lock controller players out of PFs and a way to queue DF that avoids controller players. Hopefully the shad expansion will address this.

Really it's time we just face facts: they are using an objectively worse, obsolete control scheme in an MMO. Don't even try to defend them here, that's completely asinine. The way crossbars work you have to click 4 different buttons to reach a skill that doesn't happen to be one of the few available on the bar you are using. Even worse if its on the pet bar. And you still have to switch back when necessary, more button presses. They end up spending three to four times as much presses to do what a M+KB is doing. And then the targetting! Fuck, a controller player has to scroll through EVERY. SINGLE. TARGET. To get what they want. With a mouse you just click, and done. Like .5 secs if you have fat hands. Plus mouseover macros, another amazing tool out of the reach of controllerfags.
>b-but controllers clear all content
No one has ever sourced this. Personally I don't believe it actually happens.
>b-but you can put pet actions on your bar
And no one ever does, irrelevant.
>b-but expanded crossbars
No one actually uses them, irrelevant.
>b-but target filters
Again, no one actually uses them, irrelevant.

Omega was a disappointment after this

I think this is hilarious, XI's whole schtick is that it's super fucking lenient on creating equipment sets for whatever the situation calls for and BLU's spell set is mostly an extension of that system. As you said, it should've gone back to just having a full-time list of monster abilities as spells instead of pigeon-holing it into this shoddy system.

Reposting from other XIV thread, but what's the best way to find an FC that raids? At this point, I don't even care if it's a serious raid, so long as people at least attempt savage once a week.

I've been hammering leveling professions for the last couple of days, I'm at a complete loss what I'll do now.

Stalk PF during usual raid times. Get in static parties that need an extra even if you don’t give a shit about the trial. Make sure to be polite and friendly and when you’re done with the trial and you’re satisfied with their performance, ask if there’s room in their static.

Not sure, I'll probably end up spending my time sticking a snes emulator on my phone and loading it with roms like I've been meaning to for a while now

I don't get the arguement that "Y-YOU CAN GET ANY SKILL!" somehow makes BLU super unique. Half of the time you're gated out of getting skills due to leveling reasons to begin with since you need to SURVIVE the hit to start.
And people saying shit "Well that's authetic BLU!" no it's not, BLU has always had a core set of skills that it wants to get in the beginning to be a proper job, goblin punch, aero etc etc.
And then upgrading or replacing those skills.
Yoshida is full of utter shit saying "Ahahaha everybody who played BLU just waited till they cleared the game xd" no they didn't you half gook chinese immigrant piece of shit.

I just buy materia with them, Vs are usually in high enough demand from overmelds to make a decent amount of profit on them.

I seriously hope scrips are as profitable in ShB as they were in SB, between two characters with crafters at 70, I was making 4m per week for like an hour of work, or never spent a dime on mats for endgame crafts.

XIV's dev team is completely moronic and utterly misses the fact that the people asking for these specific jobs want the XI take on said jobs.

Really, I was hoping DRK would be closer to its IV version, a sword wielding knight that shot magic from his weapon. I wasn't that far off, either.

You have to realize, Yoshida is a massive fanboy of the pre-VII games, so that's where the majority of content is based off of. Hell, we're getting an FFIII part 2 coming up soon.

>XI players requested Dark Knight to be added, expecting it to be a scythe wielding damage dealer
>It's a greatsword tank
DRK has used swords more than scythes, but yeah it should have been a dps. If anything it should be a high risk tank that can sacrifice HP to become a glass cannon.
>XI players requested Dancer, expecting it to be a dual dagger wielding melee support
>It's actually just a copypaste of fucking Bard
It is a physical support job, it just doesn't use daggers. NIN already uses daggers so that wasn't really an option.
>people asking for these specific jobs want the XI take on said jobs. Not some version from a 90's Final Fantasy that the majority never even (unfortunately) touched
Even less of the playerbase has touched XI, user. They only know of XI through secondhand stories on reddit.

Palace of the Dead

>solo level
Unless you're a blue mage it's basically impossible. If you're tank or healer, hop in dungeons. If you're DPS, use POTD.

>What's the best way to solo level
Squadron missions, you'll be running dungeons with AI and since it's dungeons you'll actually learn how to pull and use your CDs

>HS
What did he mean by this?

Patternfags are mentally ill
FFXIV is its own game, it is not beholden to your ideas of what jobs have been in the past and should always exactly be in the future.

Like, solo not including any group content or just none with preformed parties? Because leveling roulette is hands down the fastest exp/time invested if you're in no rush, getting you 1.5 or more levels per day for around 20-30 minutes of dungeon. PotD will net you anywhere from 50-75% of a level per 51-60 run, taking about 15 minutes each, meaning at worst you'd only need 10 hours of play.

Without any group content, your option is pretty much levequests, which is no option at all.

dont be a sperg over acronyms, you know what he meant

S is just below the W key

Haven't played since early SB, what's wrong with BRD?

Unless it's BLU, then it has to be an exact mirror of FFXI even if it means locking it out of content.

Im fine with DRK being a tank, but I wish they had scythes as all their weapons.

Hi r/xiv

It's a useless time wasting grind and gives, what, two titles as a reward? Eureka at least has mounts, minions, glam to wear on any class, etc.

Last I checked the point of Blue mage wasn't to be a useless second class citizen that couldn't even be used in current content.

>is fine
>can't be used in instanced group content
Considering that's most of end game content, obviously people are going to be upset.

Why the fuck would a knight use scythes?

It's what they tried to make, and why they locked it out of content. The customization and learning RNG are entirely from XI. The only thing it has from other games is the FFV outfit.

thank god they'll never add corsair because we already have machinist they'd just botch everything I ever liked about the job

>DRK Scythe DPS
How chaotic would it be if they made Grit baseline (as in always on), blood accumulation is easier to do and comes from every ability, closer to warrior. However fairly early in leveling (so its not a ShB only ability) learns to plant their sword in the ground which creates a decently large buff terrain that absorbs damage for the DRK as long as they stay inside it and during all this the DRK wields a giant shadow/blood scythe that increases their damage/crit/DH but consumes large portions of HP to use the enchanced and changed skills for this state. All this charges a their secondary meter that burst heals the DRK for up to 50% of their max HP when the sword shield breaks or even more if they cancel it early and absorb the remains of the shield.

both the CT and the FT combos are long as fuck, if they are interrupted you miss on a LOT of damage because you have to restart them again and possibly lose your dragon meme on some of the more absurd bosses with pauses if you are not getting enough WT and F&Ts out.

That’s when MNK becomes fun. It’s the only job that presses buttons even when there’s nothing to hit. Dummy bosses are so boring. I want to use the tools the game gives me.

ARR = Warrior
HW = Dragoon
SB = Monk and Samurai
ShB = Dark Knight

No, specifically BECAUSE of ranged characters and casters. Using them in cutscenes immediately makes you go "WHY THE FUCK ISN'T MY CHARACTER FIXING THIS ARE YOU RETARDED" and fucks story scenes where conflict is implied.

You're never shown fighting during cutscenes in the MSQ. At most just drawing your weapon. Its just that nobody is going to see a healer or caster saving the world while they're getting beat on in melee range wearing cloth armor. Tanks are MADE for being MSQ stars, but melee DPS are passable and make sense too.

I guess 1.0 would want you playing Archer of all fucking classes.

What's 4.58 adding?

SB = Samurai. Let's be real here. Monk got a passing mention in the cinematic, but every patch drop wol's been samurai.

Yep.

Meracydia would be cool but I think I'd prefer it in a FFXI style game. I really want to go dungeon diving in the ruins of the Sophic civilization and have it be some fuckhuge maze of a city in the desert.

Do we know what this patch brings besides suffering?

the main issue with lakshmi is she completely lacks a snake tail, primals are supposed to represent a beast tribe's idyllic being and they want me to believe the ananta envisioned a floating human torso

Asians can't handle momygfs user. it intimidates them. And the west can't make them for shit as they prefer making everyone fat, ugly, or a bluehaired lesbian.

>he uses the balance discord

She's technically supposed to have a snake tail, it's just under the palanquin and never reveals itself for some stupid reason. She should have turned into pic related after her ultimate. And since they said the Ananta have been around since Allagan times, she's also probably modeled after an Allagan woman which is why she looks so human. She is also named after a Hindu deity like Garuda who is also based on an Allagan.

>literally spend an expac working for Zodiark

You poor naive fool
Also HW barely had any of that shit in it, unless you count Lahabrea's bitch ass dying for real a negative

Well the ananta keep talking about how nice other races’ skin and stuff if I remember correctly. Maybe they’re ashamed of their snake half and modeled their vision of perfect beauty without it.

To be honest Dragoon just feels like its a melee job trying to be a Bard. I just wanna hit stuff mindlessly like Samurai...

2.0 exists, it’s called synced with minimum ilvl.

Dragoon should've been about building up resources to unleash a fuckhuge jump for massive damage rather than just using jump every 30 seconds for almost nothing. For a class that revolves around jump as its signature ability, it's one of the weakest parts of its repertoire.

New game+ is going to save this game and essentially double all the content

>if they are interrupted you miss on a LOT of damage because you have to restart them again
If you're away from boss long enough for your combo to drop, the boss has either initiated a mechanic (in which case you aren't losing any damage because you can't hit the fucking thing), or you're genuinely terrible at the game. DRG has arguably the most mobility of any melee DPS, so you have no excuse for dropping combos when the boss can be hit.

Yes he did nigger, he said most people who played BLU got all of the spells after they beat the game as a bonus mini game.

I meant in regular FFV BLU which it's based on nigger, and even past that there's some hard level cap preventing u from getting certain skills in ff games with BLU.

Are you playing on a fucking 3DS?

you must not be a hardcore raider if you can't understand what I meant by big loss of dps
the other dps can restart their dps with almost no gcds, dragoon takes many gcds to go back to optimal damage, not being able to complete a full combo hurts more because the early abilities in a combo hit for nothing

this is one of the reasons dragoons are bottom dps right now and why some other jobs with theoretically less dps can beat them

You'll notice that almost all posts about how "X class sucks to play in Y scenario" are made by people who either suck at the game, don't know how to use half the classes buttons, or are mad that a class isn't completely braindead. It becomes particularly obvious when these people talk about MNK because they'll mention "dropping GL every time the boss does a mechanic" even though that hasn't been the case since fuckin' ARR.

I don't think YOU are a hardcore raider, because you don't seem to understand what you're talking about.
>the other dps can restart their dps with almost no gcds
I'm going to go into this assuming you are talking about reopeners, because you have zero business dropping combos midfight otherwise. DRG takes a whopping FOUR GCDs (Heavy Thrust > Impulse Drive > Disembowel > Chaos Thrust) to get up to "full" damage, which is far fewer than almost every other DPS.
>not being able to complete a full combo hurts more
It does, but bosses almost never forcibly end your combo unless it's a phase transition.
>this is one of the reasons dragoons are bottom dps right now
No, the reason DRG is bottom DPS right now is because their abilities have purposefully low potencies to make up for the fact that they have the strongest party utility in the entire game. Missing one or two F&C/WTs per fight does not result in a 300 dps disparity.

Do you think there are none raider not scholars that don't know Selene exists? I've never seen her in a normal group ever, only in raids or with friends.

BLM and SAM basically function like that, partially MNK if you count Tornado Kick. BLM and SAM just maintain their rotations to unlock Foul or Midare Sesugeka, though BLM's Fire IV is a nuke in and of itself.

I made an alt and turned in everything as a fisher because I hate fishing. Doesn't always get you a full level doing quest turn ins, but I haven't had to fish much because of it.

Combat classes, even DPS, are going to get tons of exp just from the ability to do dungeons and roulettes. For crafters, your only option is Ixal, gatherers don't even have that.

If we're being honest with ourselves, every Hindu god looks like a doughy Indian lady.

a lot of this is already implemented already.

In addition to that, not only is Blood disgustingly easy to upkeep after the CD reduction, but it's one of the only class mechanics that allows you to pop it early (or at an inefficient time) and still retain some values. You can completely botch your everything related to blood, then pop it at 1 second left and STILL get at least two Nastronds.

Good point. The only Job I have at 50 is NIN and everything is isn't above 35 yet, but I always have PotD and Dungeons for them.
I already have Ixal completed so I have something to cover for my crafting if I wanted some exp for them.
In which case, best choice to use my MSQ experience would be on a gatherer. Not sure which one to go for but I guess any is better than nothing.

>Rune Fencer is a meme job that only existed in XI

I might catch flak for this, but I personally would like to see a job added to XIV that doesn't previously exist in FF, something unique to XIV's world. I don't know exactly what that'd be unless they go the magitek route, but still.

Foul isn't that much stronger than Fire IV is, you're not "building up" to it. Rather it exists so that you can always exit Umbral Ice with full MP (minus the cost of Fire 3) without hoping server ticks line up properly or relying on a proc.

>Because Rune Fencer is a meme job that only existed in XI and not a real job.
Celes is a Rune Knight, plus it's basically a reskinned Mystic Knight.

of course wrathbabby doesn't understand

What I don't get is that the baracat leaker implied that blufever lost his job, but he posted.

Literally right before fanfest, you think blufever was never in the QA team? and maybe he's someone more high up?

Well yeah.
It's two year old patch notes.

It's not, but it's still the sort of capstone I was talking about, a "finisher" if you will. DRG has its phases with Gigerskul or however you spell it, SAM has MS, SMN has Dreadwyrm Trance/Bahamut, etc. BLM is somewhat unique in the sense that just spamming Fire IV is probably going to account for 60-70% of your DPS, and even one Fire IV is pretty close to Foul damage once you add in Astral Fire III.

Speaking of AF, how much of a damage increase is it exactly?

Let's do some rough math using the #1 DRG parse on Chaos (9,492dps). Here we see CT and WT both contribute around 355k damage over the course of the fight across 22 and 23 casts each, coming in at 16.2k and 15.2k damage per cast respectively. I will be generous to you here and assume you missed TWO entire combo finishers over the fight, resulting in a net loss of 62.8k damage. Then we simply divide that by the length of the fight (5m31, or 331 seconds) to get the would-be-contributed damage per second and we get a whopping 189 DPS, aka a TWO PERCENT increase.

They should just make it a permanent buff you can apply before combat
just make it tiny

The easiest way to make both sides happy is to keep the current version of Blue Mage, but just make it a class, and unlockable at Lv30.

Then at Lv50, you start a quest to unlock a soul stone job "Blue Battle Mage" or something like that.

The BBM job has a set skill list, but has to unlock them based on the number of learned BLU magic spells.
Learn 3 skills, gain access to skill/spell #1.
The skills learned dont matter, just the number of which you learned.
repeat to max level.

The new skills are unique, and might barely reflect typical BLU spells. (as a sort of chimera of mixed BLU spells)

this BBM job has a penalty, exp gained from monsters is massively reduced (like -95%). The only EXP that isnt reduced is quest reward exp, and roulette exp earned at the end of the roulette.

BBM can enter DF, and do MSQ, PvP, Eureka, etc.

If you want to level up quicker, switch to BLU.
BBM is just meant for roulettes/DF, but BLU is the way its meant to be leveled up.

(on a side note, BLU does get too much exp. it could lose 66% of what it gets now, and still level fast.)

>called dragon sight
>gives you a tether that is short as fuck and can be a liability
are dragons just blind or something? why doesn't it just work like synastry does on ast?

Not a bad idea, but that's a pretty tall order given how just about every weapon and magic school under the sun has popped up in the games by this point. The best you can probably do is semi-hybrid shit that's something else with a new coat of paint. Like, I'd like to see a Grenadier job that uses nothing but AoEs, but that's basically just Chemist with a nitroglycerin fetish.

Speaking of Rune Fencer though, I wouldn't mind getting it in this game. Maybe have it do a thing where monsters get resistance over time to rune elements so you're forced to shift and not continuously sit on just one bonus stat. Meta would be more a matter of where in the wheel you start, and whether it's wiser to cancel/break the elemental progression to restart or keep going.

So, we're not gonna see anymore of her for, well, ever, huh?

Is spine-shatter dive the most metal move name ever?

How about everything else from DRK's repertoire?

Way too convoluted for the XIV team.

How best to back out of a guild full of people you've known for years? It's obvious that we don't have the same goals in mind when playing this game and I want to find people to do content with, and our personalities are completely divergent, but I don't want to leave on bad terms with them either.

Yeah. Yugiri, Hien, and Lyse are out of commission and likely won't be doing anything at all for all of 5.0 up to 5.3. They may appear in 5.4 or 5.5 if we finally start moving towards Garlemald, though.

>that's the difference between a purple shitter and a golden 99% boy
No it isn't, because 99th percentile DRGs aren't so shit that they get blindsided by fucking phase transitions. DRG is a static class with almost non-variable skill speed levels between builds, you're all losing or gaining the exact same GCDs if you know what you're doing.
The math is percentage based so it doesn't really matter which fight you pick, especially since basically every fight this tier has at least one forced disengage.

>what is half of WARs skill names for 500?

>DRG is a static class with almost non-variable skill speed levels between builds, you're all losing or gaining the exact same GCDs if you know what you're doing.

>convoluted
thats not how you spell "effort".
Also how is it convoluted?

The only part of it that is convoluted, is the part that is BLU.
Literally almost all of what I said is already in the game.
The only different part that isnt, is a job with a functioning list of skills.

BLU already learns skills, has ot have certain skills for its job quests. it already has a different method for leveling up. it already cant use the DF normally, w/o going through the effort of a premade, but even then, some things still dont work. etc.
SE already made the convoluted part.

Having skills and armor sets modeled after XI is a very different story from sticking so hard to one aspect of a job from FFXI that you lock it out of content.

DRG scales objectively poorly with Skill Speed as you don't gain GCDs due to your long combos. The only exception to this is max SkSp build which is only played by pure psychos; every other build floats between 2.42 and 2.45.
>show me your fflogs right now
And why don't you? I've already backed up my posts with math, yet you've posted nothing despite constantly boasting and spouting nonsense.

Because you dont get it. Nobody wants to keep the fucking current version of BLU. They don't need to micromanage two forms of it. Most of its skills are honestly already perfectly fine for normal content and only 4-5 need to be nerfed and/or dont work on bosses anyway. It needs to be a normal job from the ground up. Strip it of all of its gimmicks.

If you wanna retain some flavor, do this. Keep the blue mage spell book in the game sort of like a hunting log as it is now. But make it so players have to acquire all or most of them before they unlock the ability to queue for content when they hit 50+.

Memefish are cuter and the less we had to do with Ala Mhigo, the better.

its better this way because you cant use the af on other jobs anyways even if it looked good

Unfortunately there are people that do. Because they never wanted BLU and are just happy they got a minigame.

Memefish are ugly as sin, and their blank eyed stare is as soulless as their inclusion. I hate Mhiggers too but I still wish Ala Mhigo as a whole didn't feel so half assed. I partially blame the separation of continents and story.

>Because they never wanted BLU and are just happy they got a minigame.
I'm kind of in this camp, I was expecting something weird and got weird. My bar lowered tremendously after they more or less said they'd been batting around BLU forever and it was either in as it currently is or it's not in at all.

I already "got that". Im saying SE are the ones who dont get it.
They love to be stubborn on things, so sometimes its best to try not to fight their input directly, but indirectly.
Its not that they find BLU too hard to make, but that yoshida refuses to make BLU different than a very specific way.

So the best way to go around that, while keeping yoshidas vision, is something along the lines of what I suggested.
Otherwise id be perfectly fine with the current BLU, with insta KOs thrown out, added to the list of normal jobs.

Also, considering getting the weapon for your job is the HARDEST and most time consuming part of any job, getting normal spells makes gearing up BLU really easy after the 1st tier of savage.
Just get the rest of the gear, and u get to skip the constant process of weapon farming/upgrading.

Hop around FCs until you find one that's a good fit. It can take a lot of tries.

You don't.

BLU should be weird, but it should still be a real job. They should just have 'strange' skills. Like maybe a spell that deals increased potency as the target's HP lowers. I'd even say Doom could fit perfectly well that way.

Yes and lots of FCs just want warm bodies because you earn them an FC currency. Nothing goes on in those FCs and you don't have to say a word.

Doom could just be what it is in WoW. A thirty second debuff that does a big chunk at the very end if the enemy is still alive.

FCs can deliver buffs and most huge active FCs regularly cycle out EXP-up buffs.

nice excuse

That's a great idea too. It's just very telling that the playerbase can come up with dozens of ways to make BLU and its classic spells work, but the dev team can't/won't.

Card Drawing is a unique mechanic for XIV though, at least I'm pretty sure. AST showing up as a guest in FFT for one fight is hardly enough to make it a staple class of the series, and Galaxy Stop was an offensive spell rather than a defensive one in there.

AST was based off of chemist somewhat though, in the sense the card drawing was originally planned to be Chemist/Alchemist's Mix skill.

Given the average quality of FCs that give out random invites, this may take a while. A stupidly long while.

It is, but summoning faeries is something Scholar has never done before and nobody would argue that XIV's Scholar isn't supposed to be an incarnation of the classic Scholar. Yoshi is also a gigantic FFT fanboy and he picked out the special NPC jobs from FFT for Heavensward because of that. Gafgarion's DRK, Mustadio's MCH, and Orran's AST.

By being decent at your job maybe? It's one thing to get 99's by pure skill, and another to get them by having a 50%+ Balance uptime on a kill. I've gotten high 99's and 100's just by having good RNG with a decent comp

See above, get consistent at your job, and do lots of runs. Eventually, you'll luck out and get a god kill if you truly have a fight/your job optimized

Apparently we were all misled and SAM is actually a ninja class because it has Doom of the Living.

What the fuck do I do, I'm torn. They're all really cool people but I want to clear shit.

The best advice I can give you for finding normal people is to either go to Eureka, where some social interaction happens and start talking to people to know a bit about them, or to join big FCs and party with people in them, shooting the shit while you play. You will probably find only passing interests shared with anyone, but keep at it long enough, and you'll find people that you naturally gravitate to.

The trouble is with XIV for finding people is that social activity is rarely needed to do anything. Even joining a roulette with others will likely land you with a pre-formed group that says nothing because they're all sitting in voice chat, and as people already have their own cliques established, they're less likely to branch out and talk to other people. That's not true for everyone, but by and large, people only seek new social contacts when their previous ones aren't giving them what they want.

Spread position during Staff form.

Samurai isn't named fucking Ninja you dullard. Astrologian is named after Astrologer, has its signature ability, and shares the theme of being an NPC-exclusive job from FFT. It also very blatantly has Time Mage folded into it which is another classic job. AST isn't an original job no matter how you cut it.

i'm no DRG big brain but if a DRG missed a combo finisher isnt their rotation the most punishing?
like as in they have to start COMPLETELY over and it throws off buff timings and everything?
like it looks like you're advocating for DRG buffs which i think that class surely needs but you're also saying like..."oh you missed a few abilities, which equals a whole 2% dps loss which is nothing" but i feel like any missed abilities on that class is a huge drop for them.

Like its not like bard or red mage or samurai where they can just pick a place to start the rotation over, i mean if they miss a combo finisher they potentially even lose their eyes and have to reset the gierskogul/nastrond shit too which is their main burst phase thing.

Then what do I do? Try to find LS group?
They all seem to be pretty competent, I doubt they'd do poorly.
I just like clearing difficult content with friends, I couldn't care less about FFlogs or any of that shit. It's just fun to finally take down a challenge.

cycle through your songs as one ends for constant uptime, foe's requiem when available and your mp is full (if you're lucky a mage will mana shift you to keep it going a bit longer), keep dots up, try to not blow your brains out if your dots fall off or you get bored running around

Raid. Joining a static is the only way you're going to regularly interact with people enough to get to know them, bonding with them through the trials and tribulations of progging in FFXIV. That or join the RPers.

What would be a nice GUN chest if I want to go for a steampunk kind of look for it?

Wait DRGbros...our Dragon Sight, Disembowel, Battle Litany we have utility...our OGCDs...

It's entirely possible the Discord leaker was lying out his asshole and didn't know who Blufever was in the department

I'm kind of upset with my old RL buddies as well, I've been playing since 2.0 released and already have FC lead plus housing, told some of my old friends from high school about it about a year ago since they really liked FF as well, they blew me off, but last month made characters on a random server and now want to play together.

I told them to transfer to Levi if they want to play, but all four of them have bought all the expansions and a story/level skip and don't want to shell out more money for a transfer. I mean, it's not like that big of loss since we weren't spending time together anyway, but all of that could've been avoided had they simply made characters on my server instead of randomly picking the other datacenter.

>based
>padder

battle litany alone keeps them pretty firmly in place desu, plus as usual for each expansion everything we know about our jobs is gonna go out the window entirely as soon as 5.x hits

This.

I tried making a static with my FC once, after my previous one disbanded because 2 people couldn't keep playing, and it was the absolute least amount of fun I ever had.

>one guy makes himself the de facto leader
>every time myself or one other person point out flaws in his strategies (we were blind progging) he claims we're trying to steal leadership from him
>evertually hit the tipping point and me and the other person say we're done
>no one wants to raid with him as the "leader" and everyone agrees to disband
>he leaves the FC
>over the next 6 months everyone slowly stops talking to each other or wanting to do content, and eventually everyone leaves

I have no need to validate my performance to the likes of Yea Forums
Agreed, the crit/DH RNG is rough thing to deal with these days. By all means, pad away. I'm guilty of it myself even. Just know, it's always a bit more satisfying to get your top runs through legit means I've found

>I couldn't care less about FFlogs or any of that shit
But unfortunately most people do and that affects people you raid with. So unless you have a bunch of good friends who also don't care about FFlogs have fun

> beat all savages drunk and got mounts for all of them pre echo using controller being reddit mage

Aww yiisss cancer

>can consistently clear without the padding

Gonna be using Filibuster set myself. Alex set might be ok too but I'm not really a fan.

I hope they remove your egis and just turn them into duration cooldowns for ShB

That's some nice lies, user. In WoW every class plays the same, there's no way you can say the same about FFXIV. Each job has its own animations, and its own distinct playstyle. It's not press every button on cooldown like WoW with only 1-5 buttons at most.

Let's not forget how they ruin everything for SCH with their whining.

Same except bard. Controller AND KB+M is the truly patrician way to play.

If you're not in an FC, just join one of those massive ones and try to do stuff with people, you might find a few interesting folks that you group with often enough to justify branching out into your own FC with. You could try party finder as well, make an entry for dungeon runs or something if you're the type to do multiple dungeons in a row and see if you like the people that respond.

The only method I didn't have success with was randomly messaging DPS who had the duty finder queue status on (Was assuming they were stuck waiting 20 minutes to get into leveling roulette) and asking them if they wanted to run roulettes together, thereby skipping the wait time that a DPS gets saddled with. Most of them didn't like being messaged out of the blue from people they didn't know.

Holy shit I just realized what Perfect Balance is for.

Do people not realize they are playing an MMO?

>he doesn't think WAR and SCH will get slapped on the wrist then overbuffed yet again

do people usually pick mch over bards?

Hahahahahahaha.

Dude you'd be surprised how many people play this game and don't fucking talk to people. Or stay secluded in their group of 3 friends or some shit. It happens in every MMO but FF14 has it real bad for some reason.

>i'm no DRG big brain but if a DRG missed a combo finisher isnt their rotation the most punishing?
Yes and no. The average potency difference between DRGs combos is actually not that big thanks to most of it being backloaded into WT/FC, so in a worst case scenario alls a dragoon has to do is redo their buff combo.
>like as in they have to start COMPLETELY over and it throws off buff timings and everything?
Not entirely, since every buff except B4B is centered around life, and B4B can be popped safely during most of your GCDs. Yes your Blood timer is affected by missing combo finishers, but Blood gain is so generous at this point that it almost doesn't matter.
>i mean if they miss a combo finisher they potentially even lose their eyes and have to reset the gierskogul/nastrond shit too which is their main burst phase thing.
The only time this happens is during phase transitions so lengthy that they trigger Re-openers, at which point everyone is starting from scratch anyways (and DRG is often empty on eyes at those points to boot). Not only that, but DRG is one of the only classes that can cash out on their job gauge early to salvage a bad situation, like Geirskogul-ing at 1 second left to trigger Life and still getting 2 Nastronds out of it.

Lolno

As a DPS who occasionally runs around and helps out with FATEs, I'm lucky to even get a emote from someone, so a damn message would be amazing luck.

God, no. Same deal as usual that people won't turn you down if you know what you're doing contrary to most secondaries' belief, statics and most players in general don't care what you're playing as as long as you're not doubling up on jobs but most high-end groups would rather you be a bard.

Also the 2% loss is an absolute best case scenario where you literally fabricate additional combo finishers; the loss from missing regular finishers would be much smaller since other DRGs would be facing the same issue.

That was my fucking thought, assuming you're trying to complete leveling, 50/60, and expert, you'd think someone would enjoy suddenly not having a queue time, even if it is for a day. Surprise surprise, people value not having their personal space violated or however they view it.

I'm thinking they assumed it came with strings attached, like I was going to cling to them until the end of time, but in reality, I was messaging so many different people I most likely wouldn't even remember someone unless they went out of their way to be friendly.

>no fake link

Try harder, didn't even check.

I almost hope they do overtune MCH just so people will actually play it, I'm a huge fan of the R-Type reference behind Gauss Barrel and whipping out a gun while everybody else has a sword or spear.

Man I remember back in the days of Tibia, everyone was usually willing to strike up a conversation. Also met some solid bros on there by just randomly running into them in the wild an just decided to hunt shit together. No trust at first but after a while you just have each others backs, I fucking miss that in MMOs. Thanks to WoW MMOs are pretty much single player games that other people walk around in.

It's kind of scary how many anti social, autistic retards gravitate towards an MMO. I don't understand. Doesn't help that this community has such a hugbox nature where you can't call retards out on doing retarded shit, even nicely, at risk of being reported.

People don't pick BRD over MCH because theres no MCHs to pick. When there is, people don't give a shit either way as long as you know how to play and how to hit Refresh.

My only hope for MCH is new animations or more small guns. Either make us look like we've got a rifle or scale the guns down to handguns, the Makai hand mortar is the only one currently available.

Being overtuned doesn't matter.
MCH was so fucking busted at the end of HW and it's still one of the most unpopular class.

It's not really about sucking but more that you're constantly interrupted from doing your job and all fights start revolving around damage control. As a SAM I can pretty much always just Meditate or use Hagakure if the boss is away for a long time and once the boss is back there's not much time spent ramping. Having Foul in HW would have been nice since I got annoyed raiding through HW as BLM and it's the reason I switched to SAM in the first place.

I dunno, jobs like DRG and MNK just aren't for me.

But yeah, there's just not a whole lot of places to socialize in XIV. The most indepth conversation I've ever had with someone was a random that came up and started talking to me for like three hours, just shooting the shit in Kugane. Still have Keep Cool on my friends list to this day.

That's because tibia was sort of sandboxy
no instances, no queue to be teleported to somewhere, leveling was an everyday thing that never stopped

Same deal with EVE, there is no real end to your "leveling", no real instancing for group content, community is all.

It's the birth of games like wow or ffxiv that killed that.

>GM jail for putting a marker on someone's head
Fuck, I've done this before. Had a DPS pull before tank in a normal raid roulette.
I put IGNORE marker on them and then the healers never raised him for the next 10 minutes while we killed the boss and he bitched about it. Tank even agreed and made fun of them. Was pretty funny I have to admit.

That sounds pretty neat, I miss having online friends. Most of my online friends have stopped playing MMO's, and FF art style really turns them off. So I have no choice but to go solo until I hopefully run across somebody cool.

These games feel less like worlds these days and more like lobby based queueing games. It's sad what's happened to this genre.

I've done it before with the party finder, make a PF as a tank and wait for DPS to join for instant queues. Most never check it, but if I wait about 15 minutes or so, I get people.

I think I might try making a Linkshell and inviting people to it that join my PF, just send out a message to anyone in there before I queue for leveling and see if any DPS wants to join.

Your average WoWfugee is a mindless drone whose only thought is to get to level cap so they can get on the gear treadmill and grind ilvl in Simon Says raids. That's why.

you should consider going to a library and paying nothing then if reading is considered content

I don't see as many learning parties anymore now that the echo buff is a thing, but I'm looking on occasion to try and do at least Chaos and Midgarsolmr before ShB. If you can find seven other people who want to give it a shot, there's no reason not to do it, but therein lies the trouble. Getting three or four is doable, the full eight is tough.

You were based until you forgot glamour prisms exist.

Raidchads have better and/or sluttier glams than RPers most of the time anyway.

>and I don't know where to start
Look up a gearing up guide, probably on reddit. You'll notice it'll take you quite some time to even have the ilv to access some of the Extreme/Savage content. Then once you hit that point, you'll find out fast that the fights are a lot tougher than anything you've probably done up to that point. Then you'll be on a quest to search for a group that needs your specific jobs, is around your stage of progress and matches your preferred raiding schedule, not to mention if you even like the people in said group.

Raiding is something you start on whenever you can because it will take you some time before you are actually raiding and during that whole time you won't know if you will even like it or not.

Yeah I totally forgot PF was a thing. What server you play on?

It's unlocked anyway, isn't it? Last time I went, I was able to get more than once piece of gear.

Unless the coin is still locked, I don't know about that.

I puglifed through o11s early enough in the tier, but just kinda lost interest when I got to o12s. Part of me still wants to do it, but by now every learning party is echo hell.

...right

Nigga I'm just here for the *nods* *pounds fist* and music, if I didn't have stockholm syndrome for this shit I wouldn't be playing an MMO in 2019.

I'm pretty generally way too disillusioned with the internet for anything but anonymous shitposting anymore.

I actually befriended a Russian dude and his entourage of raping slavs. They actually helped me while I was camped outside my house for 2 weeks by this one chick and her white knights after 12 year old me called her a disgusting whore for getting her white knights to slaughter noobs after they got off tutorial island.

I miss that game.

i was a shitty RDM.
our groups never finished a tier.
I also never used SB food, never used SB potions, and thought i had to only use embolden with my melee combo.
though i did do better than whats posted, the NIN who posted it, refused to post the clears where he died, so some of my better numbers werent uploaded. (but only by a small amount)

I came back to the game much later, redid phantom train, once i realized to keep embolden on CD, and with the same gear as my last score, i did something like 5,190 DPS
which is a pretty drastic improvement from one simple action. (If I wasnt killed by acid rain, I woulda broke 5.2k)

but honestly im happy if i managed to break past 60 percentile, so im ok with my mediocre scores.

This expansion's final raid fights in general. Can we get more fights like A8S which do the mechanics puke kitchen sink approach to encounter design?

God Kefka is infinitely more interesting than Final Omega. At least Kefka has actual mechanics to do. Omega is literally a training dummy outside of Hello World

>>getting ganked and farmed by BR's and RU hit squads raping people in the streets
tfw I sold my tibia account once I got perma hunter by a BR infested server for 200 bucks and started playing wow with the cash

I pissed them off good, thank god I never bend the knee like everyone else did, I even escaped them multiple times when they sent hunting parties of 20 plus people to kill me and using the field remove runes I got away from completley being fully surrounded by level 300s while I was only 200 and sprinting like a madman, but their br internet would make them stutter their steps and they would lose speed, even a lvl 500 could not catch me

I play on Exodus, are PFs cross server?

sh-shut up tranny we're b-based and redpilled

Easily. Still over 50 days for the next expansion. Only issue is that your gear is shit, so go farm the latest MSQ dungeon until you get enough tomestones to get mendacity gear (ilvl360).
Once you get mendacity gear go do Omega Alphascape Normal, farm that until you get 380 ilvl. You can probably do it in a week if you're diligent.
Then jump into party finder. My advice, skip O10S (Midgarsomr), I think that fight is the least fun and people seem to really have an issue clearing it because it's pseudorandom.

Play healer, the classes the fights were intended for.

how much harder are they?
is it like hard number wise or mechanics?

Keep gitting gud user. Don't settle for mediocrity.

You should've realized by the time you see their OP's pic. Don't know if it's cooldown already but IIRC it's been nothing but literal gayshit images for a while in the OP.

As someone who plays mainly Healer and Tank I will say for sure that playing DPS is the hardest thing to do in FFXIV.
Actually let me correct myself.
Playing DPS AND playing well (at least purple) is the hardest thing to do in FFXIV, clearly harder than healing or tanking.

I used to shit on DPS constantly until I went SAM during Deltascape savage and I could never reach orange parses no matter how well I played.

>>plenty of people in ucob/uwu gear and some others in omega
Most of them pay for clears, and the few with legitimate clears are the twitter-posting sort of attention whores you want to avoid at all costs.

Generally speaking, things hit harder, move faster, and there's more of them at any one time. And it just accelerates as you move higher up. It can be fun, but it requires a certain level of commitment in time and energy that people will complain feels like a job.

>I could never reach orange parses no matter how well I played.
you need to pad with the balance my dude

>Play healer, the classes the fights were intended for.

This is retarded simply because designing a fight where an entire role does fuck all the entire battle is fucking stupid

PFs can reach across the datacenter, I think Exodus is on Aether though, while Leviathan's on Primal. Unfortunately, it's a no-go unless I'm wrong.

I see a lot of Excalibur people in party finder it seems, despite having a lower population than most servers, it seems their players are the most active.

The reality is that the average /xivg/player is as good as or better than your average Yea Forumsposter while also typically being autistic ERPers and dramawhores.

Check it fags

This was coming back after a long time off and feeling super uninterested in the game still, although I actually still have no idea what the -fuck- is going on in that visual clusterfuck that is Yiazmat

I'm actually amazed I still get 2.x level damage by not even participating in most of the fight.

That was a good way to end my time in Tibia

Is healing any fun?
I leveled summoner but I find it most boring than fucking current wow
and I got a healer to 70 for free for some reason

>SAM

Checks out

>Play healer, the classes the fights were intended for.
I am healer, and the current Savage's are still too easy to execute once people learn the general mechanics and you're not stuck overhealing/shielding as a result.

Try lurking around a bit more in /xivg/ you'll see how awful it actually is.
There's a ton of cringe erp, footfaggotry, avatarfaggotry and more.
>new patch comes out
>no one talks about it, they keep talking about faggotry

Are we showing alliance raids too?

while its not all oranges, the vast majority of orange parses are a mixture of perfect play, and being fed by the DRG/AST with BRD and NIN in the group.

It is possible, but unlikely. (also requires your groups to clear much quicker than most groups, along with getting lucky on drops, since ur being compared to others in the same time frame. not based on what your iLv is, so better iLv increases ur scores, if u get more iLv than others sooner. (under the condition u have the same skill level)

It can be tricky and fast paced

You figured it out, user, XI/v/ is largely just /vg/ threads flavored by not shutting the fuck up about how terrible /vg/ is.

Tanking in XIV is generally pretty easy stuff, or at least just requires a different skillset to be functional (Not high parse, that's a little different). You basically just have to know the script fights follow and where to position, so long as you can do that as a tank, you'll be able to handle 95% of fights without incident.

Not savage, but duty finder tanks make me lose my mind, between spinning bosses like a merry-go-round, not using cooldowns, or just standing in DPS stance with shitty gear and losing aggro, they always fuck up something terrible and make things harder than it should be.

>yeah guys I moved to Aether, we play the game here unlike crystal

Nobody was talking about /vg/ until you falseflagging niggers came and decided to shit things up. Fuck off.

go AST for oGCD interactions, or go SCH for planning ahead/micromanaging. (though a lot can be ignored in most content, spam cure1, and be done with a dungeon. The idea being u want to min/max yourself.)

*shut down fflogs*

woah ffxiv suddenly went back to being a good game
