you're not supposed to have darkside on at all times
during boss fights you should establish an enmity lead and then switch grit off since it reduces how much damage you deal and with proper cooldown usage bosses won't be able to kill you

i'm retarded and meant you shouldn't have *grit* on at all times, not darkside
but the rest of my post reflects that so whatever

thanks clone

also forgot to mention of you're not the main tank you shouldn't have grit on, since you could risk stealing aggro from the other tank in the party which could cause issues such as turning the boss and getting the party cleaved or something
i don't know enough about DRK to answer about darkside needing to be turned on or off though

Fuck Dark Arts

If you can hold enmity without tank stance being active why do tanks even have a stance? All 3 tanks have this problem

for dungeons, so that fights with multiple tanks can function, and for soaking damage you wouldnt be able to otherwise
trying to keep aggro and stay alive on a big pull while in a damage stance is usually not worth it at all, especially on PLD where sword oath is pretty clearly aimed towards single target combat

Darkside should be on at all times. Before with HW DRK, you could actually lose Darkside if you didnt have enough Mana since it constantly drained your MP. Now, you cant lose Darkside no matter what. The only reason why it isnt a trait is so you can turn it off when you cant hit anything so you can get passive MP ticks or get a mana shift/ Refrresh to give yourself more mana before you turn Darkside back on.

Grit is only there to help people learn what to do. Once you're able to hold aggro without grit and manage your CD's, you never turn on Grit even when pulling.

just seems like they could change Provoke to spike your enmity and call it a day. Use Provoke and boom you're main tank.

>for soaking damage you wouldnt be able to otherwise
Problem is if you're HP is falling fast enough to have to be in your tank stance to live your healer isn't doing their job right and there's a big chance it doesn't matter what stance you're in you're gonna eat dirt.

Learning your job and the fight, and playing with reliable people who also know their jobs and the fight well enough that you don't need to rely on your tank stance all the time is not a "problem". It gives the game a higher skill ceiling.

that's why tank stances are being removed :)

DRK in particular wants to be in tank stance during big dungeon pulls because of Blood Price fueling their infiite blood/mp loop

Judging by their current toolkits, WAR and DRK will be MTs while PLD and GUN will be OTs. Still feel like WAR and PLD should be switched based on their aesthetics though.

MT: DRK/WAR
OT: PLD/GUN

PLD and DRK main. WAR and GBR off.

Pick anything

Darkside only falls off if you burn all your MP, so it being off is more of a sign of failure on the DRK's part rather than anything else. It's togglable because if it were always on, you'd have no way to naturally generate MP in combat. You should get plenty of MP from using your MP combo though, so that's not an issue.

Grit is situational, if you're tanking with another person and fighting the same boss, leaving grit off will prevent you from stripping aggro from him by accident. Same goes for anyone's tank stance, though as you move away from simply clearing endgame raids and onto competing for score, you'll eventually never be in grit anyway.

Now Protect, that's an ability that should always be on and rolled into the natural gear everyone has. It costs nothing to apply, it has no competing buffs, and the only time it's off in a fight is when someone's freshly res'd. For tanks, it contributes close to 1.5% damage reduction on attacks, rarely enough to be considered useful since 1.5% of your health making a difference is highly uncommon.

>WAR got the glowing eyes before DRK

The heat death of the universe will not stop my anger

MT: PLD/DRK
OT: WAR/GUN

All tanks will be getting additional damage focused abilities though, since we'll only truly establish an MT/OT role once there's three jobs that can fill each.

PLD/DRK = MT
WAR/GUN = OT

The job changes will go into great detail about it. The tanks will roughly do the same amount of damage but their mitigation is more suited to those roles.

Well are you gonna post them or not?

Makes me wonder if GUN's tank stance will be bonus health like WAR or something else. Personally, I wish all the roles would've got their own unique tank stance mechanic (PLD getting straight damage reduction allowing for efficient heals, WAR getting the bonus health to soak massive hits, DRK getting a passive regeneration buff that would synergize with abilities that cost HP or an MP shield) just to make them stand out from each other. Would've made it more fun for the healer too, since you'd have different strategies for healing each of the tanks.

By all means, enlighten us, cause they seemed to have lost their way here

I'm not going to because you guys were mean to me. Somebody else will post them.

Quit being such a pussy bitch and just post them.

GUN's would've been a magitek shield that coincided with barrier gauges being added to HP bars. GUN would generate up to 50% of their health as a shield while in tank stance, keying off of ammo abilities. It would stack with healer barriers.

who fullplate here

Attached: 1557883825622.jpg (736x972, 74K)

If GUN is a "shield" tank then it's gonna be pretty good, blocking hits entirely is always better than precentage reductions

I'd think it'd be pretty great. It'd be a bad class at soaking massive hits without relying heavily on cooldowns, but generating a self-barrier, even if it was something you could only do every 10 seconds or so, would give you a lot of control over managing sustained incoming damage.

I've never played FF14 before. I think I understand how the job/class system works. If I pick up the game with Shadowbringers, do I have to go back through Heavensward content to unlock Dark Knight? Or will using the level boost it comes with get it for me?

You just need the expansion to unlock the jobs (Heavensward for Dark Knight, etc.). Using a level boost will get it.

You need to get to HW to get the city that has dark knight.

I don’t think anything comes with a level boost

How it works is that you start with most of the games classes. At level 50, regardless of story progress, you unlock Red Mage and Samurai (also Blue Mage). If you have Ishgard unlocked, which is based upon story progress, you can also go there to unlock Dark Knight, Astrologian, and Machinist. Level doesn't mean anything for the Ishgard jobs. It's also assumed that with the Shadowbringer jobs that they will be level based unlocks, similar to Red Mage and Samurai, since in the stream it was mentioned that you could pick it up "right away" if you have the expansion.

Forgot to mention that you need Stormblood to unlock Red Mage and Samurai, despite being able to unlock them the moment you hit level 50.

Thanks, I'll wait for Shadowbringers and hope they make it just require level. If not I'll go back and grind the quests.

>dealing 23 other people for 40 minutes only to get outrolled

Since the game doesn't come with a level boost, you're supposed to do the main story with a base game job, anyway.
It's also unlikely they make it only require levels that much time afterwards (it's from the first addon, it's since the second that they dropped the quest reqs).

Lets make a 24 man raid so you can get the pet.

It's less about level and more that the in-game lore about Ishgard is that it completely bars entry from outsiders, even when you first go there in story it's due to an extreme exception and because you personally know someone high enough up to vouch for you. You could literally grind to max level by spamming dungeons and you still wouldn't be able to get Dark Knight unless you'd reached Ishgard in the story.

You should just get the base game and the free HW so you can play as Dark Knight.

Didn't Stormblood come with a level boost? I could've sworn I saw it on one of the ads

Only dungeons I can play with dragoon are 70 ones. Even then I would rather just run with rdm or something else that has good aoes.

Try playing BLM till lvl 38. Probably the reason most people who played the game quit before 50

Guess I'll just do it the correct way then. Last question: Are the Ishgard quests mostly part of the main story or are they all optional quests?

Darkside should only be turned off when you need emergency MP regen, if some madman caster is trying to Mana Shift you, or to gain the benefits of BRD/MCH's MP buff. Otherwise DRK's built around having Darkside up 24/7

I feel like I'm the only person who doesn't mind low level BLM, the rotation is simple but I still feel like I'm absolutely shitting out damage even at those low levels compared to other classes.

This is objectively wrong. In dungeon pulls, since you're pulling multiple groups, you are a fucking dumbass if you don't use Grit for this. In roulettes, you WILL die if you're a smug faggot like this guy.
>inb4 muh Living Dead

Ishgard's story is the main story of Heavensward, so it's not optional.

It's main story. Every expansion is one long connected story.

To unlock Ishgard, you mean? It's the main story.

Its not the damage its the amount of work your doing is so mindnumbing for anyone.

Oh then there's no problem. I thought I'd have to go out of my way to unlock them. Thanks again

DRK can just pop a defensive CD and alternate Blackest Night and Quietus in big dick AoE pulls, they are surprisingly hard to kill. Pre-70 though, Grit is definitely better.

Getting to Ishgard is something you do solely through Main Story progression, all you need to worry about it getting to level 50 and doing the main story if that's your aim. You don't need anything else completed or unlocked to get there, and the literal moment you reach Ishgard you can grab the jobs there.

I walk into dungeons drunk and come out alright. Mostly it's just not caring, or walking in thinking of myself as "the DPS in front".

By role, I really enjoy Samurai for Melee DPS, Black Mage for Magic DPS, Bard for Ranged, Scholar for healing, and Warrior for tanking.

I mained DRK back in Heavensward, but the changes kind of left it behind while pushing WAR ahead for me. I *want* DRK to be better/more fun, and if someone were to ask me what my "main" was, I'd still probably say DRK despite not really playing it anymore.

Attached: thing.png (849x1069, 1.45M)

Arcanist and Thaumaturge are slow casters, Lancer and Rogue are slow-ish melee attackers, Pugilist is a fast melee attacker, Gladiator is a defensive tank, Marauder is an offensive tank, Conjurer is a healer. When you look at DRK it's a more magic-oriented tank that yo-yos its MP in return for boosted abilities.

>What's wrong with samurai?
Nothing specifically, Samurai shits damage and is designed such that even just doing its most basic rotation will pull acceptable numbers for most pug content. Samurai is mainly hated by raiders because it has absolutely no raid utility, it's only capable of inflicting damage. Black Mage is in the same boat, but its role-action abilities (Apocastasis, Mana Shift, etc.), being a caster, and Black Mage's consistent performance depending on how well you already know the fight due to how it works tends to make people look the other way despite its otherwise nonexistent utility.

This is the truth. Europeans are honorable gentlemen. But Americans will sell out for the five minutes of fame/lowest price.

They're not. Just most of the ones we encounter are born from strong negative emotion.

No, not by default. It depends on the intent of the summoner as well as the nature of the primal. Ramuh is pretty reasonable in ARR's story and doesn't mess with anybody that doesn't mess with the sylphs or intrude upon portions of the Twelveswood. Susano was also a primal that could arguably be friendly, even if he wanted to fight you for fun.

Primals arn't good or evil, they're simply based on what the individuals summoning them believe them to be
Titan and Ramuh, for example, are seen as father/protector figures by their respective beast tribes and are angry at humans for that reason. Not because they're "evil"

>Alexander is a pure good guy who was trying to raise you up to save the world in his place.
didn't alexander tecnically summon himself due to time travel he's pretty much the only legit god along hyda and zodi

Kobolds are the beast-tribe that have the best reason to be summoning theirs, it gets sticky with some of the others. Then there's moogles that summon King Moggle Mog for basically no reason

>SMN
>Meta
based retard

Kinda, yeah. Because of the time loop, the concept of Alexander originates from the Enigma Codex, which originates from Alexander, repeating infinitely. He's not born out of myth like the other primals, but is self-creating.

isn't king mogger just based on the first moogles that came from the churning mists

Yeah, Alexander's existence is owed to a time-loop where he ensured the entire au ra tribe that even summoned him was propagated by the man's soul he ate, and the woman that accompanies you for most of it, making the two their own ancestors and founders of their tribe. Pretty much because he's a primal possessing a computational machine and being attributed a divine purpose by the goblins, he's well aware his own existence is a danger to the world and influenced history to make sure Allthoughts' plans failed.

This reminds me of the Iron Giant

He's based on a specific one named Mog, yeah.

The Moogles summoned him because Garlemald was making moves on the Black Shroud.

youtube.com/watch?v=Ds9_PRQHjG8

Mog is a primal born of the stories of the moogles' first and greatest king, but the stories did come from the moogles' birthplace in the Churning Mists. Their current chief also has abilities similar to Mog when you fight him as a midboss in Hraesvelgr's dungeon, and uses the main music loop

so the final shadowbringer's boss will be zenos right

A lot of WoW players sure love reddit. Good to know

he's too popular. he'll join the Scions and be redeemed like all unmasked garlean pureblood

The final boss will be The Warrior of Light from Zenos' perspective.

>brainwashing people to worship them
Not all of them even do that, at least intentionally. Titan's highest ranking priests only become tempered on accident because they're around him so frequently, but otherwise that's it. Garuda considers it the ultimate punishment so it's apparently not something she does often. Ramuh only tempered Sylphs because they begged him for his 'protection' and then he told them not to summon him again.

That seems to be within expectations.

I've done Kugane tower once but it's tedious, I've not done the jump to the lamp post yet though.

Those aren't primals.

The Middle East area here is more Rabanastre than Thavnair, geographically anyways.

And the majority of the "China/-stan" area in FF 14 is The Burn

They're extremely close, and are probably functionally the same now that they're legendary figures. Seiryu in particular mentioned being the object of worship for a small culture before becoming one of the Four Lords

I run Ala Mhigo sometimes just for the thrill of pulling absolutely everything after the second boss.

Don't take it too hard, they wanted to give the reasonable-CD Raise to DNC to encourage people to try it since it won't be a healer like most expected. If it makes you feel any better, the BLU and Eureka elemental weakness systems were very rough prototyping for a new paradigm in debuffing where players apply weakness+resists to the enemies, and RDM's ver flip-flopping will become the first major testbed.

Unfortunately it's not that simple. The way the game was designed, every single piece of gear is a unique model that gets swapped out. It's not like it's a universal mesh+applicable texture+particles and accessories that could be easily altered by changing the base body. SE of course likes its corner cutting, so in some cases pieces are shared directly(Mi'qote and Au'Ra female armor for example). Even within these pieces some parameters aren't consistent. Like between two body armors the size of your boobs can end up radically different. It gets even worse for potatoes, because male and female use the exact same resources outside of the gender-locked gear. Fixing this problem would require every model to be redone by hand, and REALLY fixing it would require some crazy shit like extending the databases and otherwise fucking with things that would break the game every time SE changed something on their end. It's far too massive a project for the various enthusiasts/hobbyists that work on models to do anything with beyond barebones edits.

cast times are doubled I'm afraid. We actually asked about that and Yoshi went on a huge fucking rant about how much he hated red mages and red mage players.
The phrase "lame as a nigger's baby" was thrown around quite a lot in reference to their intelligence. It was quite shocking. Oh also as a side note Foul is getting buffed to have a potency of 1500

>Haha lol I got to go to the media event for a game I don't care enough about to even remember a single name

OT has two roles for the most part, party utility and damage
MT has one role, effective damage mitigation (aggro is another but aggro in 4.0 is a fucking joke)

For now I see WAR staying MT because IB is a good class interaction. Remove Shake it Off so it doesnt bleed into OT roles and you can call it even. PLD needs its damage cut to keep its party utility because it encroaches on the other role of OT too easily. PLD either needs to lose damage or the 2nd OT needs to gain as much utiility as PLD has. I would rather them split PLD and DRK into Utility and Damage OTs than homogenize them, but that's preference. GUN (or DRK) will probably be the other MT and focus on something WAR does not (which is fucking nothing because WAR is a god MT, it needs vengeance removed probably and rely more on IB and make IB more accessible so its more of a burst mitigation tank)

Lot of jumbled thoughts thrown together but I think that makes sense in my head.

one thing that always gets me about you roleplaying perverts is how descriptive and creative you guys type out your sentences, all that flowery text just to share your love about assholes

mmm yeah just love stopping to pick up lantern oil and opening doors with lantern oil very intriguing

When you think about buttholes everyday for the last 10+ years, you find fun and lewd ways to describe the sex acts you'd like to do with them.

You have to run the same dungeon hundreds of times. It's just how it gotta be.
If you want long dungeon adventures then do Eureka 5.0 and do world first Baldesion Arsenal 5.0.

I'm for dungeons that aren't hallways of trash inbetween boss fights, but lets not pretend ARR dungeons weren't just that, except with tedious collecting of photocells or dying of old age standing in a magitek circle so the door can open

>meaningless side shit is fun
kill yourself and fuck off to your classic wow threads. Nobody gives a shit about tedious garbage, they want to have fun

because people are always gonna go for the most optimal route, any of you nerds remember the fucking maze that was the beta tamtara dungeon? People actually timed out because it took so long to clear every room

Actually they were gated because people were ignoring mobs then dying and reviving the party.

oh sweet mother, yes

Hm, good point.
Maybe there's a middle ground to be made? Like randomly generated puzzles in a dungeon that give bigger rewards upon completion? Sort of like a cross between Treasure Maps and normal dungeon content.

>immediately deleted
Good god, what was it?

skinned potato

What I'd like to start seeing is dungeons with various branched segments, and it's completely random each time which ones you go through. Maybe even add spots where players get split up and dying/completely fucking up your section doesn't leave you stranded or screw anyone else, you just don't get additional personal rewards that people with functioning brain cells enjoy.

dungeons have been increasing bad. 1.0 > ARR > HW>SB. I have low expectation on ShB dungeons

nobody really cares about the content-packed dungeons after the first run unless they're doing a relic, so why bother

Sometimes I close my eyes and rim the shit out of a bag of gummy lifesavers and pretend I'm eating a cute girls' butthole. I've never done it but I have to imagine that the texture is similar even if the taste isn't as good as a real butt hole

They don't need to be on at all times. People that tell you that are shit tanks. Before I quit last time I was doing full dungeon runs without Grit.

shut the fuck up moron, 1.0 was objectively terrible, so terrible in fact that it almost made SE go bankrupt you braindead contrarian retard

Just buy one of those fleshlights with a realistic butthole entrance. I eat the one I have when I fap sometimes.

>just run past ALL the mobs not doing anything
>but its ok because party size is 7 and animations ar ebetter
yikes...

a tank needs tank stance if he's playing with good DPS, or else they'll just constantly pull hate

Your average DF shitter isnt on that level so you can run without tank stance for a majority of it

When fighting bosses, I start my rotation for PLD with Shield Lob>Flash x2>Enmity combo. Is this enough to hold aggro through most DPS openers?

lmao at all the retards believing this shit with no proof

I believe the tank stuff because its what I want to happen and it feels like the logical conclusion we have been leaning toward. Its clear with each expansion players want to deal less and less with enmity and Yoshi hates the western meta tank stance dancing nonsense. It also makes sense that they would specialize OT/MT tanks by their skills instead of just how their tank stance operates.

heh

It's just PLDtards who think offtank is a dirty word.

>It also makes sense that they would specialize OT/MT tanks by their skills instead of just how their tank stance operates.
but thats how its always been

Quite possibly because your CPU is literally 12 years old.

Fact... with one exception. The French.

I refuse to say it like that

Good dps use diversion and enmity sinks so it's not needed there either.

Isn't that illegal.

Kino is back on the menu lads, are you pumped?

Not until i see the balance changes

based tarantino

true

Ilsabard sounds similar to Scandinavia in a way. Garlemand is more or less techno germany+scandinavia I guess though Limsans have some inspiration from there too it's not as big far as I know.

this post confuses me so much
how can you know so little about this game

they are baiting

i think it's still gonna increase dps ;^)

Replying to myself for once but while I still think Scandinavia is Ilsabard Garlemand being Bong-based might actually be a thing then if that map is anything to go by.

The only fucking change I want is them removing the target requirement for overpower

WE WERE SUPPOSE TO GO BACK HOME

Nigger what are you doing

This but with Hrothgar

>15 minutes of ignoring mobs and running through a dark, narrow cave

GUNchads will be OT of course so we can focus on doing big dick DPS without having to do gay shit like mechanics

I expect DRKs and PLDs go back into the cuckshed again, I think WAR will be buffed into supermode again

>BRD got refresh
Try harder

I'm getting more excited now that it's actually getting closer, my hype levels were pretty minimal compared to most coming out of the fanfests themselves.

>1.0 dungs
>good
Fuck, no.

He might mean they got it as an actual BRD skill instead of it being a cross role thing since cross role skills seem to be gone.

Wait, if cross role skills are gone....this means DRK is probably getting Shadowskin back. Expansion's already 10/10 pack it up

He means after the TP/MP changes they're all the same skill. MCH gets Promotion/Tactician and BRD gets Refresh but they do the same thing since we only have MP now.

Wasn't even really lewd, just a nice lookin potato-ass.

such a good raid, the last encounter was pure kino

It's obviously not true though since they'd replace role actions with something else but all they say is that role actions are gone, when really its more likely things like goad would get cut because TP doesnt exist, or just retooled to restore MP while bloodbath can stay entirely

Why would they replace them? They're just going to pick the 3-4 ones everyone picks and put them directly into the job's skillset during leveling.

not to mention the amount of mhiggers you have to deal with into that place, it's a good thing we are getting out of that fucking nigger zone

So what role abilities are useful for drk?

All of them are useful in certain circumstances and there's no reason to not have them all slotted besides hotbar clutter.

All of them.

All of them, since they now allow you to equip them all instead of only 5 theres no reason not to.

I hope this isn't bullshit, because instant egi response to commands is something SMN has desperately fucking needed ever since ARR came out.

What should I do instead, then? Some openers are high in emnity generation, even with Shield Oath, a single use of my aggro combo, and Circle of Scorn weaved in.

yoshi pls

Aerslaent seems more like Scandinavia, at least with their culture, and Idyllshire England (although they're culturally Greek). I think if you look at the world map you should imagine that western Europe is under the water above Eorzea.
