I just expected it to last longer than three minutes. There were story fights before Thordan that were harder.

why?

They could've made it look good like in the ore-release footage and it would've been tolerable.
But nope, have your red fart, we even toned it down for you so be grateful.

what tank should I level first?

I am literally right where you are. Honestly, I am so addicted I just want to stay up all night and keep playing. Also, what is this Shire stuff?

It should be ocular lens flares with aftertrails, change my mind.
Blood weapon should also actually have a visual effect on your weapon for its duration

if you've never done Dark knight it has a great job story.

Go to Idyllshire and talk to an NPC named Hismena. You can trade tomestone of poetics for Shire gear.

PLD is basically designed to be the training wheels tank, I'd recommend it if it's your first.

Rework or remove Cleric Stance.
Give Holy II.

Merge Impact into Jolt 2

Don't interrupt casts when Verfire/Stone/Impact buffs fall off.

Do the same QOL for other jobs that have a similar thing going on.

have SFM creators gotten their hands on the 3d model for this shit and made stuff?

maybe i haven't looked hard enough or in the right places, but damn i want some sfm of mithra

I'll check it out right now. I am interested.

WHERE'S THE DATAMINED MUSIC, IT'S BEEN ALMOST 24 HOURS

Well seeing as you're new to the game let me tell you a story.
It goes like this.
This game is designed around old folk with jobs that can do minimal work with daily roulette, 85% of the player base does not know what a proper damage rotation is or can survive these piss easy fights without getting hit once.
When HW was about to get launched you needed to defend the gates from that Siege Dragon.
The Steps of Faith it is called.
Now originally ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/The_Steps_of_Faith
Originally it was ilevel 90 and relied on multiple people doing the mechanics of actually shooting the dragon with a dragon killer and killing the adds with canons and using slow.
So this fight was basically one big DPS check there was no real thread to the enemy except the ads that are easily killed and you literally going in his path and getting steeped on. It wasn't even a DPS check it was a simple mechanics check. Nothing more you needed 4 people thats it.
People wiped like crazy. People complained the forums like fucking crazy.
Nobody could progress the MSQ because it was "too hard".
So they made it easier, they made the min ilvl like 105~120 or something and now it's piss easy to do.
Then in HW you had the same fucking thing, but this time people wiped on dungeon bosses. The Vault the lv 57-58 dungeon was infamous for wiping casuals away as they simply couldn't learn the basic mechanics of the last boss.
Then later in HW patches came the Final Steps of Faith same shit all over again. People can't do basic mechanics or DPS checks.
Then later in StormBlood came Shinryu again people coudn't progress the story because SB was full of new player that never played FFXIV had no idea what mechanics, dps, rorations, roles, healer dps, tanking was.
So wipe wipe wipe wipe.
This is why now most Raids, MSQ trials and everything is piss easy and can be done on the first time blind.
AND STILL people wipe to this day in Orbonne monastery just like they did to OZMA.

Attached: pnfxuatcdnw21.jpg (540x960, 63K)

it's probably just that they use bumpmapping and texture tricks for a lot of detail that don't get carried along when you rip them.
there's really actually not many polys in those models.

Attached: lessthanyoudthink.png (605x1071, 193K)

Media tour is tomorrow right?
Who's ready for supreme fake leak shitposting?

It's the PTDS they got from 1.0 so they made all the models and shit low poly.

I mean look at the textures on say Hiens robe. Holy fuck. WHY.

And this happens regardless of your resoltuon and settings. It just looks like ass from 720p to 4K lowest to ultra.

Make monk stances permanent so I don't have to predict 7 seconds out when a tank is going to pull to be maximum effective.

Today I will remind them.

Any content you need maximum efficiency WILL have a timer

>Wasting an ability slot on a garbage self heal instead of more damage or mitigation
I believe it

The problem is Thordan is level 60 content, so everybody but you is probably coming in with end of expansion gear for a barely max level boss.A lot of early Stormblood content is the same way right now, but you personally have to be a little bit more careful for cheap deaths unless you want to just get carried.

I try not to just get carried personally so...

>also buff the forcefield because it looks cool as fuck but its effect is underwhelming for the cost of not being able to move or cast
Have you even played AST before? That move is great. The 10% damage reduction is irrelevant. It's a free, instant 150 potency HoT for 15 seconds. You just use it when people are stacked up and then immediately stop when you see the Wheel of Fortune buff. It's like a cure 3 that people actually run into.

it's still awkward having to start out with stance change. I think monk could use a lot of little fixes (I'd love it if Tornado Kick wasn't awkward and if Riddle of Fire didn't make me a little sad) but stance change is one of the biggest. Just having to use it in general feels clunky compared to BLM or RDM.

People are fucking stupid but still I think a few more of them might have been uplifted to competence if this game had a proper difficulty curve. There's a ridiculous gap between MSQ/overworld quests and even the easiest ex primal. Theres enough content in ARR alone that they could have very gradually ramped up the difficulty as you leveled but no everything's braindead till endgame.

take literally any self/single target buff from any job and make it party-wide, it doesn't even have to be a damage buff

Actually, is Dragoon fun? I have Monk max level but it can feel a little awkward sometimes, and I'd like a melee DPS to play. Sam seems okay bot for whatever reason I don't know if I'll be able to get into it...how's DRG in comparison?

it's hopefully on the cutting board, since there's basically now no reason to turn it off like 95% of the time and i can't see them figuring how to make it work cleanly with the tp/mp unification
also it looks like shit and has looked like shit for 4 years and it's shit

Well the Poetics system is to blame for this.

You basically have ilvl 50~115 rendered useless by ultra easily obtainable Ironworks Gear

Then that gear last you until lvl 55.

Then again at 60 you get this ultra amazing gear that puts 150 - 255 to the dumpster.

Then that gear last you until lvl 65.

And now again you'll have Scaevan gear ruin everything between 290- 380

Then that gear last you until lvl 75.

I havent touched Monk much, but compared to what I've done. DRG is alot more relaxed and once you get into the rythem it feels good. No clue compared to Sam

Well Dragoon is like.

Keep up one buff, use another on cooldown do two rotations with ending skills. Jump inbetwen the rotations. Only 4 positional to care for.

Monk is like more about dancing around the positionals.

I find DRG to be a lot easier to play.

SAM is obviously the easiest by far.

1. it's bad
2. it sucks
3. i don't like it
4. the actual non-meme reason is that targeting a teammate in this game is irritating at best even with macro use, and macros are a half measure anyway given their issues. if they made a version you didn't have to target (like you get a buff by standing near the dragoon or something) it'd be fine
5. whenever a dragoon puts it on me i think it's a mechanic and i get scared and run away from them

>5. whenever a dragoon puts it on me i think it's a mechanic and i get scared and run away from them
Are you disabled?

A game where it's what do I meld = Crit
What do I meld after crit more crit.

Tanks try their fucking best to keep agro at the most minimum level and switch to DPS stances all the time.

Healers spend most of their time DPSing as most damage in raids is spikes so one regen on the tank with the ocasional heal here and there and then spike damage is healed or AoE healed.

Right now in FFXIV everything and everybody revolves around DPS.

Literally every class has this meld order Crit > DH > Det > SpS

There no need to meld vit or stats or anything.

It's all WE MUST DO DAMAGE FASTER.

I want a game where healers spend most of their time healing.
I want a game where tanks have cooldowns and mechanical skills that mitigate tank busters AoE party damage and not spend 50% of the raid in DPS mode because nobody can take away your agro so you're might as well do DPS.

>instant self-benediction
>garbage
Even if it was on a 5 minute cooldown it's be worth it because it'd take it from healers to negate Living Dead. It would also, thus, be completely broken.

You first.

That's partly because you never even need any fucking shields. The way damage is set up you either have to put them up, or they don't matter, and you have so many more efficient tools to deal with non-lethal damage. Adlo deploy however is still really good and feels really good so I don't even know. Personally I'd be happy if shield/regen paradigm would go completely away.

If you could meld main stats you would. Tanks can meld STR if they wanna meme it up, and why would you meld something other then damage if you don't need to?

But people do meld vit for raids.

No, of course not. Neither do I expect the average XIV to know how to spell. People fuck up my character's name all the time, despite it being, you know, right there on the fucking screen at all times.

The best Omega encounter, Halicarnassus, is still only slightly better than the absolutely worst fight from Alexander, A2S.

Sad.

In the FFXI Days doing story quest for the game was raid tier difficult, and that was fine, because it felt like the content on top of more content.

I never forget Rise of the Zilart and the introduction of Sky, how cool it was to fight those cool edgelords back them unlike the shitty return they got on XIV.

Chains of Promathia will always be one of my favorite pieces of content any FF game will ever introduce to me, god how I miss Prishe, I will admit the fight with the 3 stupid dragons were overly difficult.

ToH and WotG were more solo friendly but still they always felt rewarded and had some party required sets up points.

Man, MMO's really have gone down the shitter nowdays.

Not the guy you replied to, but Darkside really should just be a trait by this point, especially if they continue to intend for DRK to have no punishment for overspending their MP. There is literally no reason to turn it off, ever, outside of incredibly niche situations where you'll get a enough ticks of MP regen to offset how much it'll cost to reactivate.

It's not like it was in HW, where you actually did have a risk of losing it, because bottoming out your MP forcefully turned it off and fucked you over.

Ages ago when VIT got factored into Tank damage

Yes yes, we know that XIV is made to cater to paper-skinned faggots that can't handle the '''anxiety''' of facing a challenge in a video game. It doesn't mean we can't wish that wasn't the case.

Not UCoB, but Coil was originally planned to be required MSQ and that would have been perfectly doable by most players if they had actually been expected to rise to the challenge.

The lyrics:

I want to look good AND be a damage class. This is bullshit that needs fixing, either by removing restrictions on vanity or by expanding on armor visuals. Slutmog is always an option, but a good set of badass plate armor on a useful dps class would be greatly welcome.

It's been like this for months my dude.

I can put together plate armor sets on literally any job. You need to expand your glamour horizons.

>months
Try years.

Then the average player seems to have less than 0, as impossible as it seems. The most obvious example I can give being that shitters consistently failed to keep up Enochian during HW, despite the timer being incredibly lenient, so they instead rolled it into your AF/UI timer.

At least we got Foul. That's pretty fun.

Got some examples? I just never see any cool items drop or get posted on the market.

Okay so you say that, but to my knowledge nobody else has ever said that. I call bullshit, because changing how dot ticks work sounds like far too much effort for SE to ever put in.

Upgrade Freeze, Blizzard 2, and Sleep to actually useful spells.

Depends what job, but look at PvP sets, dungeon sets, raid sets, the Garo sets. Use this too.
ffxivcollection.com/

DoTs still happen every 3 seconds. Spell Speed does not affect how fast your DoTs apply, only how much damage they do.

Whoa whoa BLM main since ARR here. Having it rolled into AF/UI is infinitely more fun and requires doesn't require any less thought. You would use B4 to keep it up any time you switched to it UI in Heavensward anyway. Umbral Hearts are leagues more interesting.

DoT tick speed is not affected by spell speed, only the damage. And SMNs absolutely do stack crit. We don't want spell speed.

He's being an idiot. Skill-/Spellspeed has no bearing on your tick rate. There are skills that get their an initial tick on application now so you can occassionally get two ticks almost at the same time if it overlaps well with the server tick, but aside from that they tick every 3s just like they always have.

It's just the site's general "left wing thing bad" point of view so calling everyone an insane person who wants to chop their dick off is the preferred way to shut down someone you disagree with now.

That also just references changing spell speed to increase dot damage, but not it affecting tick speed in any way. As far as I'm concerned, spell speed is still trash for SMN.

At this point I'll read and consider any kind of leak, even if it's blatantly bullshit. I need something to keep me invested until Square decides it's time to start the drip-feed up again.

You might as well just remove Blizzard 2, that's never going to get any use. Or rename Blizzard III to II, and Blizzard IV to III. Sleep is mildly useful in Eureka, but since Eureka is shit content it has no use, so you might as well remove it as well, along with WHM's Repose.

The best rework idea I've seen for Freeze, though, is to make it a targeted AoE like Flare. Remove the CC, make it do like 80 or so potency to all targets in range with no dropoff, and give an Umbral Heart, so you can maintain a consistent AoE rotation on large trash packs.

POST ASS

how about just getting rid of fists and bake them into the unarmed stances

>It doesn't mean we can't wish that wasn't the case
Yes it does, loserboy

But Elixir field is the only move Monks have that looks cool.

I would assume a certain dark skinned miqo'te's futa cock

All I'm saying is that it never required any real thought to begin with, but people still failed at maintaining it.

For other examples of shittery, people failed at BotD upkeep as DRGs, despite it also being incredibly simple. Or just look how they "redesigned" DRK for Stormblood, it's a fucking joke of its former self.

I'm not worried about the jobs. What I want is for them to make all the hundred and one mcguffins we need to collect for relics tradeable, so I can recirculate this mountain of gil I've accumulated over the years and skip all the suffering involved in making the stupid things.

Elixir field or howling fist with the damage rolled into either one. The point is the game has too much fluff with OGCDs that aren't interesting or do the same shit. You don't need two things that work the exact same when all they deal is flat potency.

Attached: ffxivtier.png (1280x1593, 1.04M)

You've got a point, but the game's GCD is so slow that having oGCDs that just deal damage to fill up the downtime is the only thing that keeps the game from being 100% suicide fuel.

Would be nice to have some emergency spell that throws mobs off of you. Like Blizzard 2 that explodes instead of freezing targets in place.

The dumbest part about all these cc effects is that almost all dungeon enemies after 50 resist all of them.

The game isn't really designed around CC. There are a couple instances where a silence or stun comes in useful to interrupt a skill, but that's about the extent of it. Bind, Slow, Heavy, and more are all equally worthless.

The fists aren’t named after elements in the Japanese version.
They’re named something like Stance of the Lotus, Stance of the Gust and Stance of the Diamond if I remember correctly.

Those skills were useful at some point though. The one that comes to mind is T5 where you wanted Heavy on the owl add. And Slow is extremely useful even today. That's a shitload of mitigation in dungeons. Shadowflare on dungeon packs is more mitigation than a Sacred Soil.

forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/389985-About-the-new-items-on-mog-station
I never got the entitled argument for people demanding Exclusives being made available to all. Would you not be entitled if you wanted it instead of letting them stay exclusive as advertised?

They still have that undertone though in the spell effects/icons don't they?

Yeah sure

They're still elementally-themed though

This is correct.

>Shadowflare on dungeon packs is more mitigation than a Sacred Soil.
That's only if the Slow affects them, which it usually doesn't, because as you said monsters in 50+ dungeons usually are resistant to CC effects.

Gust=wind
Diamond=rock=earth
Lotus can't really be tied to an element but fire comes off the animation anyway afaik

Red lotus is associated with fire on a more symbolic level, but yes the animation is also firey and in 1.X it even added fire damage to your attacks.

They're useful out in the field. Sleep and bind can save your life if you happen to pull some shit you can't handle. But that's about it.

>pull some shit you can't handl
Imagine if that was possible in this game's overworld.

It's a thing in Eureka and CC skills will save you more times than you can count there.

>Armor Crush doesn't lower slashing resistance

Every single video game in existence will always boil down to doing as much damage as possible. If the tanks have done enough mitigation and the healers have everyone topped off, they're gonna DPS, no matter how hard you try to tailor encounters so they're forced to mitigate/heal as much as possible.
I bet you're a fucking corner horner in Monster Hunter as well, or one of those fucks who plays SnS and does nothing but run around spamming lifepowders.

Because those were English in FFXI, while their weaponskills were all Japanese.

Because they were named that in XI as well

I do wonder why they chose armor crush as the name of the skill.

Perfect Balance is a tough one, it's Fuminari which is in martial arts is the act of standing firm on your ground with your feet, so Perfect Balance is actually a very good transposition of meaning.

It does though. You TK every time tackle comes up before the snap punch following a demolish (and ideally, after a bootshine and true strike) unless you'd have to delay tackle significantly to do so.
TK is a significant potency gain if you have any party buffs up or if it crits. It's only potency neutral on a DH or regular hit and even then it still delays your GCD to prevent misaligning RoF, IR, and Demolish, so not TKing is a pretty significant potency loss over time even in a shitty group, assuming you're doing your rotation properly.

>tfw based blizzard giving us a stay of execution of 2 months before a real MMORPG (classic) so we can finish all content
Huh. I guess Blizz really redeemed itself...

That's what triple melee is. DRG/NIN/MNK/BRD.
It doesn't work in certain fights though, mainly fights with shitloads of downtime or mechanics that mark party members with a "fuck you run away" or something of that nature, it's better to have a SMN due to them losing virtually nothing frrom movement outside of Bahamut phases. So you won't see triple melee on final omega or something. But it's good in a lot of fights.

Remove RoF
Remove TK
Add GL4

But here even though they say to continue using tackle to recover, they dont do so after the demolish but before the snap, unless I'm missing something

Good joke.
Me too

I'm going to need a timestamp for which part you're specifically talking about, but generally if you hold it or don't TK and use fire tackle it's because it would create nonoptimal demolish or RoF/IR timings in the near future. For example you wouldn't want to end up delaying your GCD enough that you end up with RoF coming off GCD right before a dragon kick, or IR coming up after coeurl instead of after opo-opo.

I do too and I made the post. Most don't for good reasons.

Maybe they'll actually have to use purification.
Or beg for goad/spire.

I actually had to do that in O9S, I'd just charge chakras and use purification after Faust died but before he melted or I'd run out of TP.

Did anyone leak new stuff from the media tour?

Yeah, about that.

You're just fooling yourself if you think people who have been around since 1.0/2.0 aren't tired of the same thing over and over again.

I like the idea of if, especially wildfire. I loved how it played in HW. But heat is cancer on top of having to deal with wildfire.

Go play drg if you want to be a slowass mobility scooter dps, actively choosing to slow yourself down is not fucking mnk

>mch

Go play NIN if you literally only care about going fast and want to just push 1-2-3 all day. Oh wait, NIN doesn't do that either because it still has other shit you have to do. Sorry, I guess there's still red mage for people like you who have no brains.

I feel stupid spamming doom spike in aoe situations. Am I really doing this right? It feels like I'm only gently tickling enemies.

At 1:49, but I think it goes with what you are dying about holding for better alignment. They also use fire tackle inside RoF at some point which I was not aware of being part of the rotation

Up to like 50 I like it better than BRD, except the Peloton animation where it looks like they shit their pants.

I DON'T GET IT.

>run out of TP
No sweetie, we can finally yell at healers and casters to give us their mana now.

Yea, DRG aoe is garbage even when you get sonic thrust at 62lvl.

please no bully. I'm a BLM and am used to my aoes actually having an impact.

If tackle comes up right around the same time RoF does, it's a DPS gain to use it at the beginning of ROF since it will be back up right as PB ends, or to use it during RoF if you know you won't be able to fit the post-RoF TK into your rotation for whatever reason. However at 1:49 they're holding tackle because IR is about to come up, and you want to TK as IR ends to maximise DPS inside the IR window, although it also was to help them line up Demolish with RoF there.

Give us HW DRK back with the Blood Gauge.

DRG AoEs have less impact because they're spread across every GCD and some oGCDs, rather than BLM where they spend 5-8s casting their flares then spend another 5-8s recovering from that

HW DRK was shit so no. SB DRK is even worse but that's no excuse to just revert to a slightly less shit version.

You can generally pick up most jobs and have a decent idea of what to do, but mch is a mess until you figure out how everything works. It has one of the lowest skill ceilings though, doesn't go very far beyond that.

The only time you need to think about heat beyond using flame to trigger overheat is one single cooldown between wildfire windows.
WF -> gauss/stabilise -> reload at 30s on WF -> cooldown/hot -> WF -> repeat

HW DRK was the best tank throughout the game's entire lifespan though

You only get to feel powerful every 60 seconds regarding aoe.
Mobs are already dead? Tough luck.

You never played HW DRK. Your reply will try to fool me and others into thinking it but not a single enthusiastic DRK player considers SB DRK and improvement.

Attached: 3245213.jpg (540x405, 34K)

140p consistent + heavy thrust + b4b is decent aoe, just try to line them up as best you can. It gets a lot better once you get geirskogul/sonic thrust/nastrond. DRG aoe with everything popped is scary, because they have no dropoff on anything.

>Low Blow procs
>Scourge
>The fucking animations and sound effects
>Reprisal
It was fucking perfect and it had such fucking potential to be expanded on, and they completely botched it because of Role Actions. They have a chance to restore it now that they're getting axed too, don't fuck it up.

The fuck you on about? They pull their lunch box kinda like you'd pull an old land mower.

The nerf to heat gain just made it hilariously static at 70 despite how shitty and awkward it is while you're leveling because the skill distribution is complete ass.

>get heat mechanic at 52 and have to deal with manually switching it on and off for 10 levels before you can do anything with it
>have to wait a couple more levels before staying in 50-95 range even means anything

It made me feel a little better finding out they recycled old delirium's animation into drk's interject.

dude its like 11 am in eu right now, for all we know the media tour doesnt even start until in the afternoot today or it just barely started

This may have been the case for HW MCH but that is not the case of SB MCH. Look up your opener based on either your fight or your ping and then you're done. Your rotation from fight start and fight finish outside of jumps (some of which last long enough for you to start over) is the same buttons over and over again.

It's the easiest it's ever been and it has absolutely 0 variance. Procs up? Don't matter, reload anyways to keep your CDs sync'd. Add phase? FT? Nope WF. You bulldoze over everything up to and including jumps (with the proper) opener with the same button presses.
It requires bar none the absolute least amount of thoughts as the only thinking you need to do gets thrown out the window 10 seconds before your WF is off CD.

In comparison HW MCH had waits and holds on WF.
Mildfire between wildfires
Variations on WFs based on your procs
Openers and jump continuations for every single fight in the game. And conditional AoE rotations that don't directly conflict with your ability to WF.
It's the easiest job to do "okay" with tying with redmage right now. And if we're going to be really honest, RDM has more variance in a fight than MCH by design despite being equally as easy.

It's easily tied for the lowest skill floor in the game. ESPECIALLY after the nerf to heat in 4.05 and the buff of hotshots duration in 4.06. Which is part of the reason it's such a pain in the fucking ass to play. Because despite having such an easy as piss gameplan you are still server ticks bitch because of FT OH server ticks.

Doom Spike was a fuckton stronger before they nerfed it, along with Blood for Blood "nerf".

What kind of healer changes do you expect and/or want for ShB?

Make SCH the shield Healer, Make Whm the Regen Healer, Make AST the Buffer and just remove it's stances.

whm will be overtuned
ast will stay lowkey broken
sch will be nerfed to the ground but buffed before savage raid comes out

fucking this, there were no events last week, although to believe any of those changes you'd have to be retarded anyways

Looking up a guide doesn't just make you good at something, you need to play a job enough to fully understand it. MCH and SMN are two of the hardest ones to come to terms with initially, in comparison to, say, BLM. You could easily explain BLM as: "Start in blizzard stance, use blizzard 4, switch into fire stance, spam fire 4 with a fire 1 in between, swap back to blizzard stance and start over", and you'd get a half-decent dps.

>ley lines whenever lol
I don't believe that even for a moment.

I thought the content patch storyline of the base game were really engaging. And most of Heavensward felt like pure Kino. But i'm currently at the part where I just did a dungeon to become a warrior of the steppe's and aside from Susano being a cool fight and Hien so far being pretty cool this expension feels like a huge step down.

I know everyone experiences the story differently, but would you say it gets better later on or will it stay the same? I quite like the prince but he only appeared 20 minutes in total of 30 hours of expansion play so far.

TLDR : Stormsblood seems weak compared to the ending of the base game and heavensward and i'm halfway through. Does it get more engaging?

change it to its actual title, SHADOWNIGGERS

Yeah, it's a super simple job when you understand what's going on, but it's one of the less intuitively designed jobs. Samurai can have a very high skill ceiling with third eye timing and different builds, but it was created in such a way that pretty much anyone can jump in and get a respectable dps. My point is, there's a significantly larger gap between mediocre mchs and good mchs than with other jobs.

I wish they were Bravely Default-shaped.

Attached: BDFFedeabravobikini.jpg (281x564, 26K)

Yeah the models look poor outside of their native engine's lighting and more over SFM doesn't have good compatibility with the models own movement rigging so it looks stiff and unnatural unless you put in 100x the work to fix it, while you can just load up an ancient and low-polygon model from something like WoW and slap an animation together in the same amount of time.

I did play it. It was clunky as fuck and had way too many oGCDs.
>muh epic low blow spam
>But dark arts spam is cancer
They clearly had no idea what the class was meant to play like so they just shoved a bunch of miscellaneous thematic abilities together and let the players figure it out. Parry procs and Blood Price meant that the job was non-functional as anything but MT and Reprisal+Delirium gave it blatantly OP levels of party mitigation. Scourge was loved only for its animation (no other job complained so much about losing their random dots). Sole Survivor was still shit, Dark Mind was still binary in its usefulness, Dark Dance gave you evasion when DRK wanted to take hits. SB DRK is obviously a travesty but people who just say "go back to HW DRK" are reactionaries with no imagination.

A guide doesn't make you good at anything you're correct. But a job needs things beyond execution to be difficult. BLM rotation dynamically changes based completely around mechanics and your positioning. These cause on the fly decisions for course correction depending on how shit goes.

On the otherside of this is what MCH is. Course correction? None. 20 seconds before WF and your reload came up just now? You'll hold it because you need to WF. Procs? no. You'll wildfire and ignore them. And if something goes wrong and you fuck up your OH to engage in your WF you can't fix that shit. No variance. Only robotic execution.

Like you'll have to explain these things to me since naturally I might be a bit biased as I've played my MCH for far longer than I've played BRD, DRK, MNK, or RDM. After all. I came back to FFXIV and have stuck with it ever since they announced MCH towards the end of ARR. But please tell me what makes MCH anywhere close to SMN in regards to skill floor.

What do players have to learn besides muscle memory for SB MCH?

How long do i gotta wait to get the official track of the song used in the trailer?

They're 'fixing' it for the next expansion, maybe wait a few months for the word to come out.
That being said, meta doesn't count for much at the moment. The world first for bahamut ultimate used a drk.

5 actually

The Stepps is easily the peak of SB's main story.
That story arc and just all the lore behind the different Xaela tribes are really cool in my opinion.
Shit gets real again in the later post-SB patches, but as far as the expansion's main story goes it won't get much better.

Pretty much every other game with a lalafell-like race or chibi race has them look 1000x better than lalafells. Even games that had races directly based on lalas fromg games like Granblue and EO5 looked infinitely better than the uncanny potatoes in XIV

DRK is really good right now. It could use some more party utility, but as the designated magic tank it excells beautifully at its role.

are leaks happening?

They always are. Just keep an eye out on twitter and reddit.

Bio, Bio2, Miasma, Aero.
What's the fifth one?
Oh right, Shadow flare was always up too

Literally all of the negatives you listed are positives or negligible. Dark Dance gave you evasion only in Dark Arts btw, dumbfuck.

Not really, PLD still tanks magic just as well as them. Dark Mind doesn't really mean shit when PLD gets free 30% off every buster

I would honestly just settle for a miasma upgrade and Shadow Flare being a spell again. Right now Miasma feels pretty shit since it's barely more damage than a broil II

Not really unless you sit in Shield Oath while tanking, and even then DRK with Grit would be significantly ahead.

I remember when people put some effort into fake leaks.
Nowadays you can just go on discord, type up some random bullshit, and people will believe them.

The only good choice

Dance always gave you evasion, DA just improved it.

HILDIBRAND HELIODRE MAXIMILLIAN MANDERVILLE's mom is cute

we've had like three different assholes pretending to be blufever ever since blufever's actual leaks, its really pathetic

Dark Dance gave you +20% parry rate, was exclusive to Darkside and DA added 20% evasion. Way to out yourself.

Just give Bio3 and Miasma3 to SCH too.

they were called that in 1.0 too

Not true.

But Dark Dance's DA effect was the only thing that made it different from current Anticipation, so its stupid to say its a loss for DRK when you never wanted to use that effect anyway.

When are they officially allowed to talk about shit?

>Parry procs and Blood Price meant that the job was non-functional as anything but MT
so just like PLD?
>Reprisal+Delirium gave it blatantly OP levels of party mitigation
So they remove reprisal and take the extra effect off Delirium so that you still have just as many combos. Hell it would make the job feel better to play since you wouldn't have to worry about reapplying Delirium and could use it strictly as a DPS combo. Also those were hardly OP compared to WAR which had a permanent debuff to all damage on command that stacked with the other stat-reducing effects in the game
>Scourge was loved only for its animation
And because it actually fucking hit hard
>(no other job complained so much about losing their random dots)
Because they were all either tiny potency gains (EG Touch of Death) or had their role replaced by something else (EG Phlebotomize). Also you bet your fucking ass SCH and SMN complained about their DoTs getting pruned
>. SB DRK is obviously a travesty but people who just say "go back to HW DRK" are reactionaries with no imagination.
HW DRK was a strict upgrade and minus minor tweaks (which literally every job in HW needed) there was nothing wrong with it.

>what do players have to learn
Assuming they're coming to mch fresh, they have to:
>deal with the heat mechanic being out of their control from 52-62
>not forget to place a turret (sounds dumb but it's the only non-mobile pet)
>reconfigure their wildfire window every time they learn a new component for it and re-wire their muscle memory
>not feel like they're doing something wrong in the extreme downtime between wildfires
>learn to get the most out of ammo, figure out how to not be stuck spamming split for the first proc
It can be very confusing, even with a guide, to convert all this into moment-to moment decision making, which I'm sure you're beyond at this point having played it for so long.

PLD still has more CDs for every fight that isn't 100% pure magical damage and better passive mitigation. DRK gets a free thrill on busters sure, but having a free Shadow Wall for every buster is still superior 90% of the time

TBN alone makes DRK a better main tank than PLD.
There's a reason PLD is the designated offtank nowadays.

...

The true loss for DRK was getting Reprisal gutted, which in turn necessitated Dark Dance getting gutted too since parry no longer made sense on DRK.

You're right had to look it back up.
I'm not in this pissing match, I just thought I remember it as always giving evasion.

Attached: 1532197600032.png (508x428, 218K)

Reduce the global CD

PLD is a designated offtank because they have the shittiest aggro generation and Intervention makes them far more valuable when they're not tanking. If you deleted intervention and put a fat aggro modifier on Spirits Within they'd be just as good as a MT as DRK would be.

Rampart + sheltron + reprisal is the best and most consistent tank buster defense in the game.
While we're on the subject, does intervention lower the damage dealt to covered targets, or is it only factored in if the target itself takes damage?

Just get yourself some sks/sps if you want to go faster.

Play a different game.

Did anyone like the stormblood story better than heavensward?

I get how fire and fire 3 etc work. When would you use the other thunder and blizzards though?

Do you think Physx will be gone from SMN in 5.0?

>Not really, PLD still tanks magic just as well as them
Dark mind every 60 seconds. You know how comfy drk is for o12s compared to the other two tanks.

Single target melee skills that currently cost TP should cost nothing at all in Shadowbringers, just like in classic FF games.
Aoe melee skills that currently cost TP should either now use MP, or be adjusted to use the job gauge.
MP use for casting classes should stay about the same, but RDM, SMN, and AST should all get an additional boost to MP restoration.

PLD is designated OT because they generate a fuckton more oath in sword, and they can't cover themselves for a free rampart.

Not until they fix the servers to handle it, too much clipping

Sheltron is every 22.4ish seconds and you can stock two of them.

just play mnk sam or ninja

>saving reprisal on tank busters.
Fuck your party must hate you

>If DRG and MNK have positionals give him some too make this faggot MOVE
They do have two positionals, and missing them is equal to around 120 potency loss at minimum.

Thunder 2/4 is aoe for less dmg and proc rate, fire/bliz 2 are aoes, fire 4 is strongest consistent spell, bliz 4 lets you use more fire 4.
Flare is aoe too, freeze doesn't exist.

We are talking about fights with predominantely magic damage like O12S.

half the fun of these games is playing them with friends, maybe stop the forced SP sections. Level cap people if they join

Is that the warrior of darkness on the left? That'd be cool, he was the best character so far. Best VA, at least.

Nigga, we are the darkness now.

If you mean Arbert then no, he isn't.
It's (you)r stand-in.

it's just the warrior of light from all the cinematics who is now the warrior of darkness

arbert's appearance was definitely based on the cinematic WoL though, but it's supposed to represent the player

Fire III and Blizzard III are for switching stances only
Fire I is for damage pre-60, and for refreshing Astral Fire from 60 onwards
Flare is AOE
Fire IV is your main damage skill
Thunder 1/3 are your single target DoT which you only cast during blizzard or for emergency movement in AF if you fucked up
Thunder 2/4 are AOE dot
Blizzard is low level filler and you never cast it after you get B3 and F3 unless you fucked up colossally
Blizzard 4 lets you cast more Fire IVs so you always use it during Umbral Ice
Foul is basically a Fire IV you use during umbral ice to make sure you enter AF with max MP

That's the WoL as a DRK, as shown in the Shadowbringers trailer.
The Warriors of Darkness are pretty much gone for good.

Oh I havnt really seen much about ffxiv outside of whats in game. That's a shame, the WoD was cool.

>1 reprisal every 30s
Sounds like somebody hasn't tanked 10s

That's us

unfortunately the WoD was just used for one small story arc

Thunder is very simple. Thunder, which upgrades to thunder III when you unlock the trait, is for single target. Thunder II, which upgrades to thunder IV, is for AoE. You use them in your umbral ice phase to apply the DoT while your mp regenerates, and then again whenever your thundercloud procs. Blizzard III is for instantly switching to umbral ice III at the end of your astral fire phase. At low levels you might use blizzard while waiting for your mp to recover, but once you unlock umbral ice III you won't need it anymore because your mp ticks recover a lot of mp, so eventually you just don't use it anymore. You virtually never use blizzard II or freeze.

Your entire rotation changes at 60, when you spam fire IV instead of fire, and use fire to refresh astral fire to keep spamming fire IV. Blizzard IV is used to get umbral hearts during ice phase, which reduce mp cost of fire spells and allow you to use flare twice before running out of mp once you hit 68.

Point being that every tank in HW lost something while offtanking, WAR was just the bullshit special boy that only lost completely negligible shit (Vengeance procs)
>Wanting HW DRK "plus tweaks" isn't the same as just wanting HW DRK.
Every single job needed tweaks in HW. That wasn't exclusive to DRK. DRK just needed astronomically less tweaks in HW than it does now.

>post 52
As you've mentioned. You now have to deal with a mandatory item you need to attach
This don't require skill. It requires no thought. It's fucking annoying. Actually let me go on a tangent for a moment about this as the thread is going to die soon:

Let me talk about our skill progression. I can't believe they let this shit through. I can't believe they developed it, I can't believe they balanced it, I don't believe Yoshi saw it, I don't think they play tested it, and I can't for the life of me fathom how they didn't emergency patch it.
I can't fathom who the fuck let heat as it is through.

So they remove our fucking damage weaves in our headshot etc (BRD weaves are more interactive now by the by) they take our dot, they neuter our turret, they shove all of our new mechanic into 10 levels from 60-70. Are you fucking kidding me?

You want to talk about new player approach? New players will fucking drop MCH and indeed they do before 70;
Your damage sucks. Your aoe is shit. Your heat is the single most unfun part of the game for almost 20 fucking levels. This is your core god damn ability. And if you tough it out. You get to engage in a 70 that has
1) No variance
2) Buttfucks you because of server ticks
3) No barriers aside execution

Learning BRD was fucking fun. You get a bunch of abilities, they all continue to add up, and at 70 it's a culmination of everything you learn. Meanwhile MCH is a broken unfinished mess now until 62 and really until 70.

The job isn't "hard". It just sucks to play. If you can play any job, you can play 70 MCH. The only hard is journey to 70. I don't do low level roulette because of this shit

Wish they'd give a date for the fucking benchmark.
