XIV

FFXIV is a good MMO because this based man thinks of the 99% instead of the 1%.

steel IS heavier than feathers tho

But isn't the battle rework based on that 1% playerbase? For example, turning all AST cards into damage buffs because of meta memes.

>GNB and WARs potencies are literally ass

PLD/DRK
AST/SCH
NIN
DRG
DNC
MNK

Here's your new meta, bro.

>mmo made in the last 10 years
>good

>you
>not a faggot

So are you just supposed to stuff ogcd in the six pointed star timer?

hey trannies
you will never EVER be a woman :^)

>3 melee

not in a million years

he still thinks SCH/AST will be meta, after they've been gutted to hell and back. KEK

literally every healer other than WHM is dropping healer.

Can someone explain why SSS is a DPS loss so long as you use it between Dragon Kick and Demolish? 400 potency is still more than DK+Twin or Twin +Demo. Is it because you're delaying your GCD?

you're supposed to use it if you're going to be away from the boss for more than a gcd because of mechanics and shit
mnk's kinda gonna be like blm where you optimize around mechanics instead of hitting the buttons in the right order

>Potencies
Oh you mean those things you can easily adjust?

palace of the dead is fun and enjoyable way to level jobs.

easily adjust 6 months into the expansion, sure

WAR is still looking fun though so I ain't even mad.

That too.

>Omg Ninja potencies are through the roof!
>Oh what's that, we lost our 20% damage trait?

basically yeah. it's essentially 200 per gcd, which is lower than the damage gcds (for lack of a better term), and you're delaying getting to them by using it there when you could have just been using more bootshines and shit

AST's had to wait until the end of HW and Warriors got fixed relatively quickly and had more than just potency stuff done to it. Stop crying.

I personally hate it for leveling. The upper floors are a fun challenge to do with 2 people though.

Good. Take us back to coil.

Based yoshi killing jobs. Predict the 6.0 changes.

Well user you cant bring two WHM. Also the fun of SCH got gutted, not its uses.

Play DRK my dude

I'm pretty certain they redid them because three were worthless, two were sort of vaguely better than nothing, and Balance was the only one really worth a shit. It was an ugly situation all the way around. If they were to strengthen the effects of the other cards to be able to compete with "everyone does a bunch more damage now lulz", AST would have ended up becoming laughably overpowered. If they nerfed, changed, or removed Balance, AST would be kicked to the curb for losing its one wildly important feature.

Wow also went to shit when they started thinking about the 99%, does that mean ffxiv is doomed

Shouldn't you be dilating right now?

The healsluts.
MNK got GL4 and a way to maintain stacks during downtime, we got very little to complain about.

60 second PB was the best thing to happen to monks

so play all the jobs. you share tank gear so swapping is just a matter of pressing one button.

Didn't come with the expansion, though, it came like two patches later. Though I agree it's the fucking bomb.

What’s more fun to play, BRD or DRG

tk was fun as fuck, even if you needed to think if you could tk for a gain
monk again lost more than they gained in the 3rd expansion in a row

But much complex MNK rotation

>underpowered DPS rightfully upset as their equalizing rotation being gutted and made impossible to do on top of losing multiple skills and gaining nothing
>overpowered Healer upset they have to do their job now
Yeah that's a fair comparison

What a retard

Anyone on primal want to run some dungeons or something?

its for the nin only now but noone realised yet
mark my words...

it's going to get deleted in 6.0 just like sneak attack was deleted in 4.0

>we got very little to complain about.
Our rotation has regressed to 2.x era mnk. We have plenty to complain about.

Then play all the tanks my dude
Hell you could even gear a dps and keep pld your main priority for relic and that type of gear

Technically it's not as strong now because there are less powerful raid-wide buffs. Every buff that gets nerfed or removed effectively nerfs every other one as well. In a vacuum they're not as powerful, it's when you can stack all of them together that they get ridiculous.

Meanwhile they deleted every way we had to build stacks so that's useless

From my experience in savage they certainly werent

Everyone that's been complaining about the complaints about healer changes obviously has no idea why people are complaining.

Gl is 10% dmg and 5% haste a stack. It's basically fire too

This seems like the kind of person that would complain about the yshtola msq fight being too hard

>DNC
NO NO NO NO NO

Attached: BRD.jpg (1200x675, 117K)

you're actual retards if you think SCH wasn't already doing the most healing
it's because of that and its powerful ogcds that it has a lot of time to dps
and guess what?
they made the healing kit even stronger in shb
this means even more time to dps but only 2 skills to use
every sch will die of boredom

DRK will be objectively unfun in ShB.

Judge when the final build numbers are out.

PF pugs aren't indicative of anything. I've had O9S runs of me outdpsing BLMs as BRD

You say that like it's a bad thing. MNK stuffed to the gills with skill speed back during 2.x was the most fun I've had with the job. No netflix bullshit here, just ATTATTATTATTATTAing all fucking day long. I completely resented Riddle of Faggots and its slowdown, and now not only am I rid of that but we get GL4 to punch FASTER.

Yoshida is just putting you mhiggers in your rightful place.
You fucks were probably not supposed to use TK that way (and do this much damage in the first place, maybe). The devs simply decided to fix this oversight.

>deleted every way we had to build stacks
Isn't PB still there, though? And with a 60s cooldown?

>WHM still has no rDPS boost
SCH could literally be in a wheelchair and it would still be meta because Yoshi has absolutely no idea how healing works in his own game

>From my non-existant experience in savage they certainly weren't
Damn, really showed me with that well built argument of yours.

Doesn't GL4 increase your DPS because it lowers your base auto attack timer in addition to your GCD?

Regressing is a bad thing. I don't want to go back to what I was doing 3 years ago. That's boring.

I think they turned it back to it's old cd.

I would but I'm at work right now. I don't get out for another 5 hours.

Yes, it's a slight DPS gain over FoF at GL3 despite not doing as much flat damage.

It's the same with every healer and it's been that way since SB. Personally I was hoping this would be the expac to bring back healer complexity but instead they're doubling down on the netflix healer playstyle.

for the love of god, just give WHM bravery or faith so the fucking rDPS fools can shut the fuck p yoshida, i'm begging you.

mouthbreathers thinking speedrun comps are the only way to play is the real smoothbrain problem going on right now though.

Well, shit. Why would they do that? Did they think maybe people were having fun with the job and that's not allowed?

Gl also amps dmg in general

Yeah I'd love if there was more mid-tier content like dungeons or alliance raids, so there was more to do than just optimize DPS for six fucking months between releases

>Here's your FFXIV Nintendo Switch port bro
youtube.com/watch?v=RjVuJSzkMVo

Biggest crime. I'm bummed about the TK rotation being gone but dungeons are gonna be ass now that we've lost RoW and PB is now on such a long-ass cooldown again.

Gl4 is 40% damage and 20% haste vs fofgl3 36%(40 with new fof lvl2) trait and 15%

>NIN turned into TA slut.
>Now it can TA and do everything else just fine.
Based.

Yeah that's literally it. Yoshida has said in multiple interviews from the media tour than MNK was his favorite job to work on for SHB, which means he loved making TK impossible to do and a major dps loss as part of the rotation. MNK may as well not exist for the duration of 5.0

DNC gameplay looks fun as fuck. Lots of shiny colors, movement and dances.

you have a full aoe spam rotation at least, which feeds a lot of chakra into the new forbidden aoe

it's not 40% flat for FoF, there's about 0.03 more damage. It's still unwise to stick in FoF when GL4 exists, though

They also shouldnt be boring trashmobs. Omegascape may have been I CLAPPED tier but at least it trimmed the fat from Alexander. Coils was at least interesting to walk through

Clearly this guy missed the memo that Tank stances just GIVE EVERYTHING EMNITY.

Fuck. this guy makes me mad. What an idiot.

Awful opinions but I'll bite
>Enmity Combos
Yeah no one fucking used those, universal enmity generation on top of the AoE combos is just better, no question
>MP cap at 10k
Does he not realize that all spell costs will be adjusted to compensate?
>Protect gone WHM useless
All 3 healers don't have protect, WHM isn't any less useless, also Protect was a tax that served no purpose, they probably just adjusted the overall defense of a PC to compensate
>PLD getting gap closer finally
They're complaining that PLD got a gap closer later than the other Tanks, which has nothing to do with ShB, they're fixing a problem, also its getting its gap closer at the same time as GNB, it's not like PLD is getting it during patch 5.1 or some shit they both immediately have a gap closer now
>Healers focusing on Healing now
Again, this is them complaining that SHB making a positive change is somehow a bad thing?
>Main Stat Materia gone
You mean the thing that only tanks used on their accessories? What's literally wrong with Tanks having maximum Strength on accessories now? Oh wait, some idiots would put Vit on their gear like fucking retards, but now EVERYONE has maximum Vit and Str/Int/Mind/Dex on their gear, literally nothing wrong with that.
>Tank Mastery
Tank Mastery isn't remotely close to Oath Mastery, all Tank Mastery does is "You take less damage and get a bigger bonus from Strength and Vitality", Oath Mastery isn't REMOTELY like Tank Mastery.
cont

Damage stacks multiplicatively so you do less damage in GL4 than GL3+FoF. GL4 is a glorified haste buff.
it's 120s now which means you can only use it on the 3rd Riddle of Fire and every 3rd RoF after that one (since you have to blow the first use on building stacks for the opener). The entire job could be fixed if they just made Anatman grant you GL1 on use but according to the previews it doesn't do anything unless you already have stacks.

CONT
>DPS not getting nerfed
No one got nerfed? What the fuck are they talking about, Tanks if anything got fixed and had useless features no one used removed, or had them made to be actually useful. Healers aren't really raped, they just lost protect and got a bigger focus on healing and the new content will likely reflect that change, this shit isn't designed in a vacuum.
>killing 32-bit OS support

>Passage of Arms is gone
It isn't
>Enmity Combo is the worst thing ever
Enmity combo is fucking useless and completely unrequired, you literally just have to press Unleash or Overpower or Flash like twice and BAM, you never have to fucking worry about aggro again for the rest of the fight, No one in their right mind used Enmity Combos because they were literally completely useless, and of any enmity generation effect they're basically the worst option. Also there IS basically an enmity combo, it's called using the fucking AoE combo with Tank Stance on.

He sounds like most of the shit spouted here until the 11th point.

You typing all that out but I just want to go fast.

And they still aren't letting you go fast since RoF still slows you down just as much.

brd has lots of ogcds and is fun at level 70. its ezpz tho since it's ranged physical dps

Hey that's my number!

WE SLIP&SLIDE

I don't understand why RoF still exists. I understand the principle in SB because of double weaving oGCDs with TFC but now that they've trimmed all of our oGCDs and Shoulder Tackle's usage is more flexible, I don't understand why they don't just let us go fast 24/24.

Bard stops singing and instead gets new attacks where he throws his musical instruments for damage (and maybe debuffs).

It exists because Yoshida is a retard who doesn't understand what people didn't like about Stormblood monk. They should have removed the speed debuff from RoF while in fists of wind and made GL4 just a trait instead of requiring FoW. That solves the issues people had with RoF while keeping the Stormblood rotation intact and SSS would let people weave in extra oGCDs if you really needed it with all of them being deleted

>SAM gets a 100 potency move that requires you to have no accesories equipped to use

SE literally has no idea how to design MNK, that's why. Just look at how many shitty ways we have to prevent GL from falling off when they could just combine them

Hey putting vit on gear was legit for prog since all dps checks are a joke in this game and secondaries barely did shit for healers who usually got gear last. Other than that if they actually make damage patterns better yes, the focus on healing is fine. Otherwise it'll be the same empty promise as SB

Yoshida doesn't understand anything about the job or why people enjoy playing it, and also wants to simultaneously try to coddle players who are unable to maintain GL stacks with the fists of fire trait

The point isn't that you do more damage in fists of fire, it's that GREASED FUCKING LIGHTNING should not LOWER your fucking damage. There's absolutely no reason for it to be tied to your elemental fists. The elemental fist bullshit was the least interesting aspect of monk's design and if anything deserved to get gutted it was those

He thinks of the 99% while looking at what the 1% do and thinking the 99% asl do it. Thats why job synergy is gone.

What headpiece is that? The all 60 jobs one?

>MNK

zero utilities just like sam the 4th dps slot is SMN.

I think so. It's either the 60 or 30 one. forget which.

That's the current meta, but with Tornado Kick being removed from the game that's definitely going away since MNK DPS is now ass

It doesn't even matter because all gear will have their main stats maxed, so even if you could still use main stat materia, you wouldn't be able to because Vitality would already be capped, which I pointed out.
They removed those Materia because they literally would not be able to benefit you by putting them on your gear, I mean hell you can't even overmeld for main stat materia.

You can easily mass pull doma in 270 gear though unless you're DRK

I use Ninja in MSQ just to get around this shit. At least with other classes I know I can keep things moving relatively fast.

No its because the elitists would come into normal content like roulettes and bully normal people over meta minmaxing shit that nobody cares about in normal mode, dungeons, etc.

Ok?

I love lalas. Unfortunately most people that play them are obnoxious.

I like it better than Pizza Hut and Dominoes but that's just my area, it could be different in yours.

All the fists should be removed and replaced with the riddles which were far better and more interesting. Make Shoulder Tackle upgrade to Riddle of wind like the PvP version does and still grant an extra stack.

Did MNKs honestly, truly, really enjoy doing TK rotations and TK openers?

I mean, that vit you would have had from melding for vit is just there naturally now, on top of any more vit you could have added to hit the cap that that equipment would've allowed.
All gear is gonna have the maximum possible Damage Stat and Vitality for their IL, which means even if they didn't remove those Materia, you would be incapable of melding more on.

Sure, it's still shit. And I can guarantee you nobody is augmenting shire in current year,

dont you use 6 sided star into tk into snap into pb if anything?

yeah, MNK is braindead and boring and probably still does less damage than SMN in 5.0. Yoshida wants you to ONLY tornado kick when the boss is below 1% and to ONLY six sided strike when the boss is about to leave or you have to disengage for a mechanic that wont allow you to have uptime.

What the fuck are you saying you stupid nigger? Also you put Demolish in the wrong spot retard, it's a DPS loss to do it after switching to FoW, you do it with GL3+FoF then switch to FoW for GL4.

No because not only do you delay your GCDs and lose out on more cumulative damage, you're dropping to GL0 afte rthe TK and have to spend more time climbing back to GL4 which your weaponskills and autos will sufer for three GCDs instead of two like it is now.

MONK IS LITERALLY DESIGNED TO PUNISH PLAYERS WHO TK NOW

the problem isn't that enmity combos are gone the problem is nothing interesting was added in their place, without enmity drk could've gotten delirium back as a combo ender, or gotten a new second combo entirely with a different effect. There's no reason for their kit to feel so barebones.

Yes. It was fun.

Who are you? Maybe you're one of them and don't know it. The vast majority of players are cheering for these changes.

No its not, it's a dps loss to not be in GL4 asap. You have to do an extra combo for no reason if you apply demolish in FoF

Leves.
Also do MIN/BTN simultaneously for maximum efficiency.

I find it funny that retards always say muh steel cyclone. DRK are king of monster pulls for a reason, 4.x Abyssal Drain is amazing

Don't worry I understood the first time. Again the only issue if they put dumb eHP checks that either require a specific comp or more vit and you could cheese those with vit melds before since SE never took them into account, but they will now since its built-in.

Absolutely.

This desu, I was expecting powerslash to be reworked into something different, like maybe 3.x delirium combo.

I have no idea why the spenders outside of renzokuken are weaponskills. Sonic Break I could forgive if it wasn't trying to be empyreal and either gave you a cartridge or if you could spend one to jack up the damage.

>enmity combos
He has a point. Everything having enmity now means theres zero point in managing hate. Basically why does hate still exist if its function is mechanically null, you can just make the mob forcibly prioritize whatever with a blue job icon attacked first and have provoke/shirk just be a way to force that priority on whoever use it. Hate is pointless now. And yes as much as people like to complain about it being pointless before as well, the game still effectively forced you to establish hate at least and in the case of dungeon pulls or adds, manage said hate. It made your job even simpler than it was before, I’ve no clue why people think making things simpler and eliminating mechanics is a good thing, ARR was never that complicated and they basically made SB be 200% simpler than ARR was across the board.

>MP
Yeah hes an idiot here, tho its far more interestint IMO when MP scales, since it adds it as a stat you want to pay attention to in your equipment.

>Protect
Effectively a minor thing for healers to manage. If they were thinking “oh they only have to refresh it when someone dies” i still wouldn’t have removed it because that is still a mechanic for the healers. A better thing to do would have been to make protect have a significant but small duration (like 3 min) so healers would have to keep it up.

>healers focusing on healing
Its actually a negative change for two reasons:
Whats attractive about healing now is also having the ability to dps and encounters being designed around downtime for it.
The other reason is, not only are they not going to change encounters to be more healing intensive but “just healing” is more boring than healing, providing utility, dpsing, and giving extra cool downs. Furthermore all old content will remain the same, having healers literally just casting their gcd attack over and over for the majority of an encounter.

>trying to loop tk with a 2 minute pb and riddle of wind being removed
are you retarded?

i mean, levelling gathering/crafting classes is pretty damned autistic to begin with.

no because RoF doesn't have enough room for it even with GL4.
Not in Shadowbringers it isn't, now if you're rebuilding stacks you want Demolish to snapshot GL3 + FoF instead of GL4 because that's an extra 3% damage on the DoT effect.
You get the same number of GCDs in perfect balance regardless of whether you're in GL3 or GL4.

>Leves
I was afraid of that.
Oh well. How much do I need to worry about keeping my gear at a decent level? Can't afford to buy the shit for all these leves.

why do you guys hate warriors so much? it's going to be the GOAT tank again, just accept it

Spam Leves and only buy equipment with Gathering on it. Perception does nothing in Leves so you can just buy the chest, gloves (?), and main/offhand or whatever it is that has gathering on it and don't have to worry about the rest. if you want to level without leves then you'll need to be fully geared since perception greatly increases EXP

it's not that big a concern, just burn cordials to do your leves better since they're pretty easy to get

You can probably get away using the gear from the quests 1-50. You'll need to start buying gear 50+ otherwise even on leves your chance to mine will be like 60%

Why?

Yeah, but what I'm saying is that if you demo at GL3 while in FoF, you're going to wast three more weaponskills after in GL3 when you could already be in GL4.

If you do leves you only need a few pieces of gear (the ones with gathering on them) and if you just stock up on Cordials with GC seals then you can just use NQ vendor gear for leves.

What? WAR is currently the best tank by far? It's the best MT.

It's just part form loping rotation. Just to discover/theorycraft can SSS+TK work in RoF window. No idea why other user goes apeshit

Your defense matters a bit more if you're going to be taking hits that frequently.

a big cumblast to look forward to during your big cum buffs

Nope, it wasn’t fun. Felt more like a chore.

never used it and MNK was still the most fun job.
Im grateful that tackle mastery is gone since it was such a shit trait in SB.

It was engaging and did the best damage we ever had.

There's your problem, the looping rotation assumes you need to line up all your buffs and have Riddle of Wind. Without IR or RoW there's no reason to do the looping rotation.

>healers only having to manage hp bars is a good thing

Even in FF1 using a red mage or white mage healer required me to pay attention to:
>hp
>keeping buffs up
>using the appropriate null spell to avoid damage from certain elements
>dealing damage in downtime
>killing specific things with the specialized spells they had such as dia for undead

Thats already more than I do in shadowbringers as a healer

Also demo falling down in this "situation" so you forced to use demo

If you're lazy you could just do GC turn ins every day

ESL?

No, I hated MNK being forced to follow the rules of burst-damage that other jobs do instead of being sustained speedy DPS.

>why do people enjoy more technical things???
Because it's fucking enjoyable to not only execute it, but also get tons of damage off of it. High levels monks at the end of SB are about 500dps behind samurai and black mages of the same skill level, with brotherhood that makes them about even assuming the composition is 2 melee and 2 tanks.

For leveling you just need the gathering stat. from 1 to 50 you can buy white NQ gear from the city state vendors to keep you going. Once you're 50 they stop selling you that gear at 55 BUT since you can make red scrips now you can buy grade 4 materia from the scrip vendors which will let you wear that 55 gear into 60. Word of warning though, HW gathering is a fucking nightmare of RNG bullshit just to get the thing you need to mine 5 stacks of. Keeping up with the quests is also a pain since they need HQ turn-in items. . 60 - 70 is largely the same story except gathering in SB isn't nearly the pain in the ass it was in HW.

Dude's a sperg but I'll give him the MP thing, though it's conditional on just how this 10k cap is going to work. If it's an absolute cap, yeah, he has a point and it has ramifications well beyond WHM. On the other hand, if it's just 10k naked MP and you can still meld in PIE materia or eat food to go above that then there shouldn't be a problem overall.

Because while SAMs got to jerk off over hitting a single 80k direct crit midare I got to jerk off over watching a constant stream of multiple 10-20k direct crits rolling across my vision for 20 seconds straight capped off with a big dick 50k oGCD TK.

It is just a hamfisted way of saying spells will have percentage MP costs, which they always have in this game. The last time it was possible to stack a meaningful amount of extra MP was 2.1.

They were a bit shit to play at SB launch and people rightfully complained. Same thing happened to SCH then and now. Lots of autists that pitch a fit because they don't play the job and didn't understand why people were mad.

>Yesterday got a tank in roulette that was a pissy diva always blaming others and screeching and shit even when we cleared everything fine
>Today got another tank that, after wiping on Snowcloak (at Fenrir of all bosses), was like "All's cool, no worries we got this" and explained the mechanics again for the newbies
I swear there is no in-between desu.

because I want old WAR back, back before the stupid ass Inner Release change that made WAR boring as shit

MNK was already designed to be burst shit in SB anyways, TK rotation at least made it fun. Now we're back to HW monk with even less OGCDs

Obviously they are going to adjust spell costs for the mp limit. He has no point at all.

Most likely since DK is pretty close to useless now, your PB after a TK will look like this:

>True Strike, TK, FoF
>SP, PB
>SP
>SP
>Twin Snakes
>Demolish, PB wears off
>bootshine
>true strike, FoW
>SP

there is no tk loop in shb, i don't know why you think it will exist in shb
like you're trying to figure out how many fire 1s you can fit into blm's rotation in shb because that's how it worked in arr, it's pointless

It was fun for people who can see their parses and got to see it slap down some big numbers(for mnk atleast). Otherwise it just felt like ass when it feels like it isn't panning out like its hyped to; but you cant say that publicly or else you're just not doing it right or whatever.

You can't dye it unless it's augmented, so of course people augment it.

Because you just powered up into a heavyweight fighter for a little while

I will in about 20 minutes, if you make a PF around then.

I enjoyed it in every fight except final omega but final omega is literally impossible to enjoy on a melee

Too bad it dyes in the post-HW retarded way where the entire piece fills a single channel.

Gear will be somewhat important, and unless they changed it you can't buy your way through MIN/BOT leves, you'll have to actually do a quest and shit. Once you get collectablity systems though, you can focus on doing turn ins for those instead of doing leves. GC turn ins are also important, and Ixal might also have turn ins for gathering but I don't remember for sure. Once you hit 60 or 61 you can make use of the namazu beast tribe as well, I think.

Did you link the wrong thing?

I want to run Fractaal Continuum unsynced for the Baldur Blade

I know I know but we hate two threads about this SSS+TK nonsense. Use SSS+TK wait, gain GL by using PB vs just hit GCDs in GL4. Second variant is winner. Unless some big brain from balance discord will make real calculations. SSS looks like dead skill. TK still will works with PB I guess.

They're still not even going to only focus on healing. All the healers' oGCDs are busted meaning ever GCD will be spent pressing one button and sometimes a second.

Did you post the right link user?

Because people keep falseflagging as Yoshi bootlickers to bait people into flamewars and it works

The inbetween is the tank that says nothing, but is still silently upset that people fail basic mechanics.

I seriously hope nobody is wearing shire as a glam.

Alright, fine. You really don't want us using TK like that. Guess it's back to the old rotation. Hey wait, where's half the ogcds we use?

Everybody but the SAMs, BLMs, and tanks (outside of DRK) are too wound up and parroting cuckshed memes to chill out.

thanks for the tips friends

SSS is a dead skill unless you're using it before downtime. It's basically just like HW Tornado Kick. Tornado Kick is still usable but you only get it once every 3 minutes and only get your first one 3 minutes into the fight. Also knowing Yoshi in spite of the fact that you can now maintain GL for nearly a full minute with SSS +Anatman there will still be fights with transitions long enough that you'll lose it no matter what.

elf boyfriends are back and better than ever

I expect different types of swords with a gun mechanism attached, like DRK getting a greatsword-sized rapier from Garuda

You can use TK in a situation where the boss is gonna jump RIGHT after Demo/SP since Anatman will recover your GL4 afterwards.

I don't like the crafted one, the color scheme makes it look plastic.

Use leves to get everything to 50 so you can start doing Moogles. With what's left, use them on BTN and do collectable for the rest as your leves build up again. Having MIN and FSH at cap will help you out tremendously and capping BTN will round you off.

WE FALL

A good player will, you'll just never finish the whole combo. Most transitions are long enough that you simply restart your opener when the boss returns so it's no big loss

Just slow walk and style on them. Preferably as DRK in a black trenchcoat.

Tri melee is literally the strongest comp in the game right now, the only reason you wouldn't use it is because some fights specifically punish it.

Considering the nature of the SB DRK quests that's a bit like the WoL jerking themself off.

It has specific windows. So when you're in those windows you execute your rotation and adjust. Like a basic idea

>and a way to maintain stacks during downtime
Easiest way to spot a garbage Monk. Monk didn't need ANOTHER tool to upkeep GL, and it especially didn't need fucking TWO OF THEM. As is you /never/ dropped GL outside of 20+ second long phase transitions, and you had PB or Wind Tackle available to get GL back instantly so it didn't matter. MNK quite literally gained nothing with this expansion.

You're both wrong because the real best elf is estinien

you spelled Bestinien wrong

Are you? If we're so spoiled for choice, why not name a few?

>Saw someone cosplaying as him with the armor and sword, his model an exact match even with the name
Wonder if anyone got mad

...

In my UWU clear our PLD did not cast a single RoH combo in the entire fight and the WAR only did two butchers blocks. The PLD only entered Shield Oath once at the ending primal dance because he was nervous of dying at the tail end of the trial and most of the 9 instances that the WAR entered Defiance it was to snap hate with Equilibrium. Aggro-management has been beyond a non-issue for a while now and the nuance of using the defensive bonuses of tank stance has been lost with the overabundance of mitigation options available.

Removing stances and enmity combos is a matter of removing redundancy, not depth because there was 0 depth in either of those two things for two years now.

>remove pets
If you were good at using pets then you're not playing SCH any differently than you were before, and SMN is more engaging because you're tag-teaming shit with your egi instead of putting Ifrit on auto-attack and only slamming Obey to keep Garuda from tarding out and blasting Contagion of its own accord

Considering they've kept Estinien around after his tenure and the player base laps it up, I doubt ever because it would diminish his uniqueness.

He really needs to learn how to shave

I get how SMN "pets" work in 5.0 but how do Faeries? Do they just embrace your physick target now?

>*becomes literally useless*

I wish we had a cutscene of Estinien vs Elidibus, could've been kino like Omega vs Shinryu

But that's wrong you fucking retard. Fairy is still using Embraces on her own.

And again that's no goddamned different from what you were doing now with SCH, and SMN was fighting to keep your pet from blowing its useful spells immediately. They hardly counted as pets to begin with because of bad AI.

I wanna stick my "promise" right up HER arse.

what's a good job for a beginner that doesn't want to main DPS and if fine with utility/support/healing

None of those except maybe Alisaie has anything resembling romantic feelings towards (You). Also, Yotsuyu is dead and Minfilia is effectively dead too because I bet that thing called Minfilia in Shadowniggers isn't actually her, it's a ruse..

See above. This is actually worse because she's just some bit NPC.

I was asking from more of a lore standpoint, really. It isn't a case of like assasinations being attempted in the Allagan empire and those dead bodies just get thrown into the Void or some shit, is it?

If I remember right you can still guide the pet around whereever, it's just not a physical entity anymore and can't be targeted by players or enemies. They'll still auto-attack and such of their own accord but their skills got folded into SCH/SMN's hotbars as Egi Assault.

Paladin and White Mage are the most simple and straightfoward jobs in their category. A lot of people I knew started with these two because of that reason to ease them into things.

i think it will be overtuned on Release. Yoshi is calling an "EXPERT TANK" despite being actually simple. It has low mitigation. i think they will force that shit to be top tank dps.

Should I bother grinding for anything with these Moogle Tomestones? The only things I'm interested in are the Pegasus mount and minion because fuck Diadem.

Oh, I see. That's a reference to FF3, much as the entire Crystal Tower series is. In the final area of the Crystal Tower in FF3 you unlock the super-jobs Sage and Ninja, so generally speaking you change your entire party to a combination of the two. A bunch of dead ninjas therefore signifies that this version of the Cloud of Darkness has killed a whole lot of end-game FF3 parties.

I've finished the Carnival on two different characters and neither had Diamondback.

Reminder that smn possibly got it the worst of all jobs with the 5.0 changes, even moreso than mch.

Being reliant on hitting dreadwyrm trance on time instead of aetherflow is much worse because unlike aetherflow, you can't hold onto the charges first and only use them later when convenient. Dwt's buff goes active immediately, it summons phoenix automatically too in firebird phase (even worse). It means that if a boss disappearance syncs up to the time phoenix trance comes off cooldown, you either have to hit it anyway and waste the phoenix, or let it sit unused and drift dwt's cooldown (cause they're retarded and made it not start cooling down *until* you use phoenix).

If aetherflow was the critical factor like before, it would be no problem cause you could use it anyway regardless of target, you had the flexibility to hold onto the charges for later and just rush everything else into the end of the minute. Phoenix is basically wildfire with a forced usage time that gets cucked by jumps. In one single change they've destroyed everything that made the job good. I would even go as far to say that this is the moment the summoner job was ruined.

>MNK expansion is actually a SAM expansion
How is going to not-Japan and teaming up with Hien and Gosetsu a MNK expansion? All MNK has is that one clip from the trailer.

yoshi said 5.1

which probably means 5.3

Everything 60 and up but only Alexandrian weapons, assumedly. No Dreadwyrm/Ultimate but we might get one anyways if the community bitches hard enough since it's still within the content rules they've laid out.

Red Mages also don't normally pull weapons out of books and Alisaie did that.

The Ala Mhigan portion of Stormblood decides you're a Monk, the Shadowbringers reveal-trailer follows the same logic by going ARC > WAR > DRG > MNK > SAM > DRK.

why are your eyes so big

Shut the fuck up, idiot. You got Phoenix.

I thought PLD had to be chosen by their stone but the recruiter dudes or whatever they are just carry them around til they glow or something? I honestly skipped the fucking GLD/PLD story shit because its just terrible in general.

He learned SCH technique by speaking with Surito Carito. He preferred using Carbuncle because he was used to it instead of turning it into a fairy

Because for 90% of the pre-release period, Stormblood was billed as a MNK expansion where you'd liberate Ala Mhigo; it wasn't until the last fanfest of that expac where they dropped the full trailer and revealed that it was actually 50/50 MNK+Ala Mhigo/SAM+Doma.

would have been good if Phoenix aoe raises upon summoning alongside his aoe regen

They're passing out PLD job-stones to anybody that's interested in one to keep their martial arts from dying out, the Sultansworn is on a downturn because of the sultanate's dwindling/nonexistent power and the Syndicate's attempts to choke out the sultanate.

funny you say that, do you know that if you delete all the phoenix related skills from the game and just gave smn nothing from 72 onwards, they would actually do more damage at level 80 than now?

Is everyone fucking retarded today? My roulettes have been AWFUL

SCH is actually stronger than ever, it's just gonna play super fucking braindead. I'd actually say SCH is overtuned.
AST on the other hand is gonna be fighting an uphill battle.

Don't forget to do your GC turn-ins every day.

5.1 at the earliest.

That would be awesome.

it's friday. normies are all playing. plus free login promo means people that haven't played in forever are coming back and sucking.

Funny that you say that, nobody gives a shit.

What was up with the glowy shit then? Was that just an isolated thing for the stupid oathkeeper garbage?

I fucking hated the TK rotation

Phoenix is reskin of Baha.

Phoenix is just DWT and Bahamut at the same time with a regen

You're clearly just bad at monk senpai

>mad that they're "focusing on healers being healers" even though he wants them to do that

A truly unique mind

You make your job-stone glow with pretty much all your jobs, you're at 100% compatibility with every job-stone you encounter because you're the chosen one. Hell, you're pioneering dragoon, summoner, probably dark knight, warrior, and monk techniques from lv. 50 onwards

>Being attracted to a whore who spent the last two expansions taking every tavern cock in Ishgard and Kugane

It felt bad to play, was clearly unintentional, and monk always had a braindead rotation

>implying Tataru ever actually puts out
Wedge wishes

Then how the fuck do you beat that one level with the slow as fuck boss that eventually does a roomwide aoe that kills you even with mighty guard up?

Do healers have the worst community in this game?

uh huh, thats what makes it so bad

Do you guys think DRK melding might change a little in 5.0? With the loss of the 10% speed from blood weapon I'm wondering if it might be worth it to drop the crit and dh materia and meld for full go fast. More soul eaters would mean more mana for OGCD spamming and more blood for bloodspiller / inner shadow.

Also do we have any info on if inner shadow takes from your stats? If it does and it benefits from skill speed that might be better for that ability too.

Schemin', smuggin', either seein' Varis' backstab comin' from a mile away or not suspectin' Varis is smart enough to be pullin' somethin' like it off

It's not about them beings elves or not. The best characters in the game are objectively male elezen and garleans.

>Haurchefant
>Urianger
>Aymeric
>Alphy
>Estinien
>Cid
>Nero
>Gaius

Not to him, of course. Tataru likes them bigger than his pathetic midget poker.

Awww seriously? That's really fucking lame.

It's a little known healing trick. If things die faster, then people take less damage meaning that your healing is easier.

The only fight with an AoE you may need to Diamondback is Behemoth with Ecliptic Meteor, but you can skip that as long as your DPS is good. I only fought him with the basic toolkit + Song of Torment and I beat him fine, just need to make sure you Bristle+Moon Flute+Off-guard+Final Sting him before Ecliptic Meteor finishes.

So ready for no TP meta

funny enough the only thing that's really bad about it, other than slightly low damage which is easily fixed, is that some of its cooldowns suck

What is it with a potato somehow being the most eligible woman in Eorzea?

well they could have literally done nothing this expansion and it would've been better. I don't give a shit about egi glamours

Fists of Wind for GL4 or Fists of Fire for 10% more damage, which are you intended to be in most of the time?

SMNs will literally never be satisfied. They could get an actual Knights of the Round summon that played the full cutscene and instantly killed the boss and these faggots would STILL be complaining.

MNK players really are getting fucked though. They're essentially getting punished for daring to find a rotation the devs didn't intend.
