Does anyone have any of the names of the AF4 gear? Only one I know is that DRG’s is “Pteroslaver”

Well, how about a compromise? You don't get to be meta, and you lose the TK rotation

All I remember is the GNB AF weapon is Lionheart

Store won't even let me pre order it. So I guess I can't play shadowbringers.

I'll buy into this, only IF the "Complete Edition" is fully on-disk. It never fails, I'll buy the newest expansion, insert the disk, and it will stop after like two minutes, before starting a download for over 17 GB.

How do you level them anyways? Do you just leve all the way up to 70 while doing moogle/namazu quests?

I finished Gatherers, but I don't want to level my lower ones (around lvl 20), I've just been using beast quests and turn ins to level my high level ones.

I dunno whether to take off friday or monday

Pretty much, yeah.

I leveled my first crafter to 70 solely through beast tribes (after 50) but that takes forever.

The EXP curve past 50 is very fast and you can get it done very quickly if you have a lot of leves stocked. And/or supplement with beast tribes.

A word of warning.

Even if you do.
The patching on PS4 is retarded.

It copies the whole game then inputs the new files and deletes the old files.

How do we stop him?

Japanese games always have really diehard followers

Can you fucking brainlets please leave my fucking game alone

I figured, sucks the best way to level them is on a timer. Is gathering any faster? I know it doesn't bring in nearly as much money, but I don't know what else to do until ShB.

Did they update the renders?

They're definitely saving that for the final battle. I want to see Dragoons taking out airships too.

every mmo is full of grognards and dipshits and you're only noticing because you're playing it

It'd be out of place, given how Dragons have no stakes in that war. Plus, unlike Ishgardians, they don't owe you that much.

if you are a PLD and hide your shield then you are a faggot and a tranny.

Where do you guys live that you have data caps? I've never seen that shit and I've lived in 6 different states.

Out of place maybe. Don't forget you slayed most of Nidhogg's brood, took down Nidhogg twice, and stopped the Dragonsong war. I'd say Vidofnir going out to help really isn't that far fetched. Now what would be far fetched is if Hraesvalgr came to the siege.
That would explain the AA-fire we saw in Ghymlit.

Check the doc I replied to. It literally is named Shadowbringer

Basic bitch iron scutum. Fuck fancy ornamental shit.

The game is only 36GB though. Also if data is so important to you then why even have a PS4 since every game and app on it uses a fuck ton of it.

I thought you guys said that the SE store charges me a couple of days before the launch of ShB, but they're charging me on the 6th.

The old fuckers don't owe us much but the younger generation sure as shit does. The dragon cultists owe their continued existence to the Warrior of Light as do all of the ishgardians who drank dragon blood and transformed. Ysayle was near-worshipped by her followers and she supported you even to her death

They're 100% gonna have a callback to the pre-dragonsong war days with dragoons mounted on dragons fucking shit up

Make it charge immediately now or the day-of

They always charge near release. The game is out in 3 weeks.

They even hinted at this in Estinien's side story when Hraesvelgr tells him about the old dragoons.

at least the story, zones, and music will be better

how long does it take to get 100,000 MGP?

A girl is no one

wrong, every spec is viable
no one cares about speedrunning

Arya, you blind or something?

You never played the original game.

i dont farm for anything, i just do the story and the boss/ primal battles because they are fun, then when the next big patch drops, i get the armor at a discount and do the last patch savage modes.

Everyone in this thread is respecting the content, right?

Iirc it only comes with a code for activation. I could be wrong however.

Why aren't YOU queued for Seal Rock right now?

Kind of curious what are the best options?
SB early access started around 5-6am so I guess coffee and toasts but what about lunch? I was thinking pizza or chicken tenders.

Can be done in a single week.
Get 80 points or higher on fashion report which gets you 60k MGP alone. Then do the Triple Triad and Lords of Vermillion weekly challenges, that'll get you pretty damn close to 100k alone. Then do minicactpot, and if that isn't enough chocobo races for weekly challenges.

How do you think they'll do Shadowbringers?
Stormblood felt really shallow compared to Heavensward how they split 4.0 between Doma and Ala mhigo, how are they going to do saving a whole world in just 5.0 without it feeling even worse?

Then you actually know what you're getting user
It can be better or it could be worse. The fact that the trailer is already story based unlike Stormblood's already points to a plus for the story.

Just because its pretty diorama doesn't mean it won't be as dead or as useless for the majority of the population.

no such thing as a 'useful' zone anywhere in the game you dumb nigger
pretty vistas and good music are what the zones are for
and nice rp spots

The 8-man raid's plot of restoring elemental balance to the world already tells us it's not gonna be resolved just within the span of 5.0

>What would be the perfect song to herald their arrival?
What else?
youtube.com/watch?v=sc2iwgW98sk

some poster on reddit makes a post every week of the cheapest way to get 80/100 points for that week's fashion report

Usually costs like 2-10k gil to buy items from vendors/mogboard. Really easy

Because pvp in this game is a literaly dumpster fire and you would have to pay me a lot of money to touch it

It's not what you think. The NPC gives basically gives you clues on certain equipment slots of what you should have on to earn points, you aren't actually competing with other players to make a better glamour.

Here's your (You), enjoy it

Not hard at all most weeks. Level can be a problem, as sometimes you'll need higher level gear.

Basically every week theres a theme, and specific items fit the theme. Every friday there's a thread on leddit that has exactly what you need to get 100 points (though there's only benefit in getting 100 points 1 time for the achievement, after that 80 is sufficient).

So basically look at the report and pick the two pieces of gear that are easiest for you to aquire. Equip them (remember that it's what is visually showing on you that matters, if the item is glamoured into something else, it won't count) and talk to the guy. If you have at least 2 of the items, you should be golden.

Alternately, you can also get 80 purely through dyes. The guide will say what dye you need to have on each piece of gear for maximum points, and if you have all 5 items properly dyed, that's 80 points.

user, just by the simple fact that you RP you are considered a degenerate. Does it matter that you do "clean" RP? No, plain and simple you RP in a video game which many people look at in disgust.
>thinking you need to RP to immerse yourself
RP if you must but most players can get into their game without having to RP. Want to know whats immersive in MMOs that isn't RP? Having to socialize with people to get things done even in the most boring of content. It's what Yoshida failed to recreate in Eureka.

360 is all you technically need to access the last MSQ of SB. Anything after that is just gravy.

The promotion site said the tower suddenly appeared years earlier, and they built the town around it. It's a relatively recent development.

The theory someone said in a previous thread made sense. That G'Raha woke up in the future and everything was fucked due to something happening in the First, so he used the Tower's power to put it within the First.

Safest (and logical) theory would be that the Crystal Tower had some Allagan tech inside of it that G'raha used to help defend the Crystarium. Also, the only dead civilization in the first are the Rokkans(?) which are basically our Gelmorrans.

Shadman uses Stormblood as a base for combat in general, get caught up I say.

I'm not, 4.0 was the absolute lowpoint of PVP between the neutered system and zoning into FL matches in which I was literally the only human player.

Water and green tea with a bunch of fruits

I'm having fun with it. I'm playing the free trial and it's my first ever MMO. There is so much to do. I'm playing as an archer and I'm only level 13 right now.

It's not really that bad but it still gets me a bit anxious. Just helping others when I see them fighting or obviously working on the same quest that I am doing or have just completed is easy though. I'm just terrible at making conversation.

How far back are you story-wise? I quit roughly before Deltascape and beastmen quests, and despite skipping cutscenes took me almost two weeks to properly catch up. If you're worried about gameplay being different just go as tank, healer or ninja.

Why does it take dps a good 10 seconds to think about if they should stack while they have the aoe every single time?

Nah. Even if they removed the cutscenes which made Castrum and Praetorium so terrible, they probably consider normal mode raids to fulfil the same purpose and they're more fun too.

god I hope not. because it means that they have to casualize the place further to accommodate 7 retards instead of only 3.

Nah, Castrum and Prae are great and that they were never followed up is among the game's biggest failings.

TK Rotation MNK > NIN > Non-TK MNK

Monk, but it'll almost certainly be in the cuckshed while ninja seems to continue to be a staple of statics thanks to TA being unnerfed

Well one of the /vg/ autists is triggered.

If you do the perfectly optimized TK rotation MNK is slightly harder than optimal NIN. Generic "as intended" MNK is a lot easier than NIN however.

I don't think he will by the sole reasoning that he doesn't technically exist if you never did the DRK questline. Estinien can show up because he's an actual person, but Fray is a fragment of you spawned by the DRK crystal.

I'd love for him to show up, but I don't think it's in the cards. I can imagine that there might be comments about you already being attuned to darkness if you've leveled DRK.

>well they hate it so this is never getting touched again

How the fuck did I manage to do this? I didn't know it was possible to change neck length/size/etc in the char maker this badly.

Probably not, they're much more important in the 1.0 plot they've tried to divorce themselves from. If anything it'll just be a "the Twelve were the Ascian Overlords all along!" blunt twist, like Nael being female.

poetics actually have a use if you decide to do the hw relic grind

What make tk rotation harder anyway? you do the same thing every time, only need to figure out when you can

Neck length is determined by height

TORNADO KICK BAD
RIDDLE OF FIRE BAD
MUH STACKS

tordnado kick is objectively bad from a design point
riddle of fire same

I'm talking more about the seals and gil.

You do TK every god damn time you have wind tackle.

If you aren't able to quickly rebuild your greased lightning stacks, Tornado Kick is a dps loss or at the very least DPS neutral. And for optimal results, it needs to be done during Riddle of Fire, but you also need to either have Perfect Balance up or tackle up for RoW.

That's the same as ninja though. It's a little difficult to optimize thanks to ninjtsu, but I wouldn't say it's more difficult than a monk using tornado kick.
Wasn't TK a complete DPS loss until like Deltascape? I'd say ninja is easier solely because it's fairly simple to get good dps reading tooltips.

How? His dogma is completely hedonistic and selfish. His fun was over so he noped out, there's no contradiction. The connection is to the player, who also just wants challenging new content and doesn't care about anything else.

Until the changes to riddle of wind it kinda was.
Also TK potency is still bugged, fuck off SE.

Probably more of a "I want to die a warrior than be paraded through a big trial, rot in a dungeon, before being inevitably executed" thing.

Even people in game called him a coward for it tho

These healer changes fucking suck.
I wanted our rotations to become more complex, not more brain dead.

>Wasn't TK a complete DPS loss until like Deltascape?
Yeah, it only became useful with Riddle of Wind. Being able to build GL stacks more easily changed it from a DPS loss to a DPS gain, and before that it was only used to blow GL3 on phase-transitions or other spots where a boss would jump away for long enough that GL would fall of.

If you want complex dps rotations, play a dps job

Sounds like Astro would probably be your best bet.

You won't be able to play it for like 50+ hours though. I'd recommend starting with Arcanist, which upgrades into both Scholar (a healer) and Summoner (a DPS). It's unique in that regard.

Pretty much the only time I see Flames win is when they luck into a premade.

The 3-way matchup style feels so stupid at times because one team can just endlessly dog another team for no reason, preventing them from doing anything while the third team just runs wild. Seal Rock in particular is the absolute worst because it's by far the most RNG-based mode and the victor is almost entirely determined by which base your team starts in and where and when nodes spawn.

Mostly I'm just sick of teams that don't know how to focus fire and manage to get beaten back even when they outnumber the enemy. I'd like to switch to Mael but I hate Limsa, and I'm 52 wins deep into Adders and don't want to back out until I at least get the serpent warsteed.

Much better than crummy Pokemon creatures

Definitely Astologian, but you can't start it until you're level 50 and have completed the 2.x (base game and its patches) story.
I'd say you could start as Arcanist (DPS), which develops into Summoner (DPS) and Scholar (Healer) at level 30

28th of June for early-access

wait whos that?! i almost thought it was Alphy for a minute.

Still the best healer in the game. Actually got its fairy and oGCDs buffed overall, which was the reason it was "broken" in the first place.

Nah, he was content to sleep and let things happen however. The only reason he intervened at all is we woke him up out of curiosity which turned out to be fate because he had a pact with Hydaelyn to test us and eventually aid us, doing so by stripping the blessing of light away to see if we could stand without it. We proved we could, and eventually recovered it.

Why was us standing without the blessing of the light important? Perhaps for a time when we have to take up the call of darkness.

Dude, if you are skipping every cutscene, you've kinda missed the point of playing the most story heavy MMO out there.

That said, you are about halfway through HW I'd estimate if you are at the Vault

I'm of the mind PvP would've worked better had it at least been semi-organized. The three way structure only works when people gang up on the winning team, in pugs, most people just zerg whatever's closest to them.

people told me i can see every cutscene and catch up with the story in the theater or soemthing.

I'll do that after I reach the end

WHM will probably be better for prog. They're mana regen is wild and so is their raw healing. it would allow for more stuff to be seen.

Their raw healing requires GCDs and it's going to be a question of how much raw healing is really going to be needed outside of what SCH and ED+Star can naturally handle.

If raid damage stays roughly the same in Shadowbringers, which it probably will, WHM won't really be necessary now that SCHs healing tools were actually buffed for some reason.

I wouldn't but that's me

Don't do this to me bro.............

>doing savage this late

WHM has the best oGCD heal with lillies.
>If raid damage stays roughly the same
This seems VERY unlikely seeing how hard Dungeon bosses/mobs are hitting lvl 80s synced to lvl 74.

I'd honestly rather spend the 40 dollars, rather than making a facebook account.

Wouldn't surprise me that much, we barely touched the base and outer ring areas. Those all got handled by the other chucklefucks who showed up at the tower while we cut straight to the entrance.

Fuck off cutscene skipper, you are aids

Most of the time it seems like instead of 2nd+3rd vs 1st, it's actually 1st+3rd vs 2nd. 3rd place just wants to increase their placing and will take what points they can get, while 1st place wants to secure their lead and so focuses on the team that's closest to them in points.

And yeah it would be better if the teams were organized or at least had most people know what they were doing. The reason that modes like Seal Rock come down mostly to RNG isn't because of how close nodes spawn to bases, it's mostly how the node spawns affect the movement of the teams. People will just go for the node that's closest to them, even if the point leader has 3 uncontested nodes on the other side of the map. Or they'll go for a node which is directly between nodes controlled by either enemy, essentially guaranteeing they'll get slaughtered in a sandwich attack.

Friday, after e3 is over

TELL ME

I need to catch up on all this side lore.

I'm pretty sure most of the lily-based abilities are on the GCD?

And leveling dungeons have always hit that hard. They are not a metric upon which required healing can be based.

The most healing intensive dungeons in Stormblood are still Bardams and Doma to this day due to how ilvl sync works for leveling dungeons.

Lily heals are on the GCD.

>MnK

Why do you do this?

I'd rather MNK lose the TK rotation, regardless of anything else that happens to it.

Yes, the new lily skills are all on the GCD, the dude is just a brainlet.

None of the lily spells are oGCD.

Afflatum is instant-cast and costs no MP despite being on the GCD. If you were going to cast Cure 2 or Medica anyways you get an objectively better version

I think you still have a chance if you have a lot of time for PF recruiting.
Try to also invite people who are already done with the raid and don't have anything to do if you can

The goal is to never cast a heal that is on the GCD. This is already possible in Savage and Ultimate. I highly doubt that GCD healing will now suddenly be required in normal content.

Most players aren't in an optimized environment and don't treat GCD heals as the devil unless they're a mid-skill SCH, whose job-design is based around that anyways.

>medica
>when cure 3, assize, and medica 2 exist

It's still a GCD spell. Whether it costs MP or not is honestly irrelevant because at the end of day, it's not something WHM needed or wanted and continues being an issue as to why SCH always have better pDPS than WHM despite the fact on a dummy in Stormblood WHM has higher.

They should put Aetherflow actions on the GCD. Balances the healers and gives SCH something to break up their rotation at the same time. I see no downsides.

We can assume most players attempting the newest Savage tier are going to be around that level.

WHM will still be viable, I just don't see most groups using it for prog anymore. Again that's just my guess. Won't know till the new tier starts.

It's still a DPS loss because you can simply just do your oGCDs while keeping your GCDs rolling. It's designed to only be used for moments when you have to disengage from the boss to do mechanics, like when you get tethered during big fists in O11S. Esentially a TK that doesnt remove your stacks, but if thats the case then why even keep TK?

I feel like something was lost along the way design wise when healers are free to DPS enough to the point that they literally do not want to use their actual healing spells under any circumstances. I'm not against healers DPSing but it seems like the pendulum has swung just a tad too far in that direction.

I wonder how long the 80 job quests will be and if we'll see our crews again.

I was initially disappointed at its lack of aoe but lbr it turned into broil spam anyway

Yeah but your normal combo rotation is always going to work out to higher average potency especially if you're not refreshing Twin Snakes for some reason. The average potency of two MNK combo attacks is around 500, but that might not be obvious to your average DF sperg so they'll just mash the 400 potency move because it's bigger number and even refreshes GL for them without having to worry about pesky combos or positionals.

With their limited hair and face options there will be at least a dozen others who look exactly like you don't worry

No reason to worry, sch definitely looks like the strongest healer

Fuck, I love the content that deals with the WoL's inner insecurities. I hope we get more.

Are you ready for the 1 healer meta with all the healing abilities DNC and SMN has?

Most healers already struggle enough at their job even without touching any of the DPS buttons.

They could change encounter design such that more healing is required, but then you'd have bad healers repeatedly wiping your group for hours on end rather than just costing you a few minutes.

It'd be an absolute disaster if they went the WoW route in terms of healing required, especially because XIV is so heavily oGCD-based compared to WoW.

If healers already have issues finding their DPS buttons, they're going to have even worse of a time trying to find their oGCDs and cooldowns. I doubt most of them even know what an oGCD is.

Not who you're replying to, but yeah Alphascape is a breeze in PF. Sigmascape though? Rougher.

I want to fuck him up the butt in the mating press position so bad.

I'm honestly hoping the meta shifts to solo heal SCH + 5 DPS after the stupid buffs they got.

Which will be quickly addressed by SE absolutely kneecapping SCH even harder rather than admitting they made some mistakes with the healer redesign.

SCH seems to have more tools than ever for healing, but their DPS will be abysmal like the rest.

I hope we get more like this from the MSQ in general, as someone who hasn't even unlocked DRK (Nor have the intention to do so) I want more shit like this.

kek, glad someone finally made this

All recast times in the game so far are reduced by the same relative amount depending skill speed and buffs. So whenever a 2.0 recast time skill gets shortened to 1.8 a 3.0 recast would be shortened to 2.7. Why would SSS and GL4 be any different?

they start in ul'dah for a reason bro

m-muh extra big dick dps :(

imagine associating WATER with neckbeards

seconding this, Darksteel Scutum is kino

Dude, play Dark Knight even if you don't plan to actively use it. it has the best class storyline by far.

but it's not

I haven't seen the link to the interview that talks about the job quests that people refer to but from the excerpt Yoshi said it'll be something like you come back to the Source after the 5.0 main story and see what your job trainers have been up to while you were gone.

As long as the 80 quests are a little bit longer/meatier than any single job quest from 1-70, I'll be okay with it. In a job questline, most of the individual quests just feel like filler that's only there to fill up the quota, and the actual story progression only happens at 2 or 3 points in the whole questline. You could easily condense most of them into 1 or 2 medium-length quests. I'd put the DRK quests as an exception though, each one of them feels like it's relevant to the story and building towards a climax.

>MNK is six sided star
>SAM has shoah
>Both share gear
YOSHI??????????????

Oh im not saying it's different, I'm just saying that you're still delaying GCDs by 1.5 when you SSS as part of your rotation

It sounds like it might be like a roleplay quest, but since it's whatever class we are playing, it won't have to be mechanically dumbed down.

Just increase healing requirements in Savage/Ultimate then. That seems to be the only content that matters to people who really intensely care about healer rotations, and they won't be too bothered if dungeons and normal modes stay ez mode.

I wish more job quests were like SMN where you get to use your shiny new Max level job ability on the quest’s bad guys, but I guess with Yoshi adding and replacing abilities every expansion that is simply not possible.

Skillspeed doesn't matter in regards to SSS because no matter how much faster you can go, it's still the same amount of GCDs being lost

The fuck is a yalm?

Blame that on powerful oGCD abilities, especially so on SCH ever since HW. And ShB doesn't address any of it at all whatsoever and possibly only make it worse as SCH got nothing new on the GCD added, only more oGCD.

While for shitters this doesn't matter, but the main reason why SCH is so absurd isn't just because Critlo lets them literally ignore mechanics but because they can just constantly DPS while also healing effortlessly.

AST can heal and boost raid DPS at the same time effortlessly and their oGCD kit even gets a buff as far as healing goes in ShB with Celestial Opposition being remade into a heal instead of Stun/buff extender.

Meanwhile WHMs new toys are all on the GCD and their oGCD kit is the weakest of the 3. So in order for it to provide damage it has to give up healing, or if it wants to heal it gives up damage. This is why people keep crying for WHM to get some raid utility (read group dps buff) but what they should just do is make their pDPS all on the oGCD and BTFO what SCH and AST can do, problem solved.

Yard. Three Fulms. Yes, Imperial System yet JP works off Metric.

A yard.
Seems Eorzea uses Imperial measurements

I mean, there are still quests where you have to use your job abilities. I remember there was a Rogue quest where you were told to use Goad. I have no idea what happens in that quest now.

That's exactly what I was saying, but the other guy is saying it's the length of 1.5 extra gcds and not 1 for some unknown reason.

So is there anyone who actually queues for Flames frontlines anymore, or is it just entire freelancers now? I don't see why anyone would actually do that to themselves.

It will definitely be worse now that SCH can crit on demand and doesn't have energy drain to dump AF stacks.

SCH can now spend all of their stacks on oGCD healing without feeling bad about it.

Savages

I still don’t get this ability. I am happy I don’t have to wait until lv 80 for Tsubame Gaeshi but are they expecting us to stop everything to meditate just for 500 potency?

They were literally body guards for Platinum Mirage jews in 1.0. They were bouncers for the place and also personal thugs for their clients, who sent them to get rough up goyim and get the shekels they were owed.

I thought it was just for when you use Meditate in between a fight's phase transitions?

I don't play SAM though.

can i get a quick rundown of the vents between 4.1 and 4.5?

My question is how the fuck does Adders keep getting all the premades? Wouldn't flames be the choice GC to put premades since they're freelance?

Freelancer is on by default now

go to your inn room and watch the cutscenes ya dingus

Pugilists that is.

It's not part of your rotation, it's just a nice bonus you can use during transition.

Why the fuck didn't we get a wolf man beast tribe?

Why, it takes like 5-6 hours to do it all.

What show is this?

It's touch of death

completely forgot about that, thanks for the reminder

Nevermind

Look at it this way, 500 free potency on transition. Compare that to Seigan which is a 20 potency gain for 2 OGCD casts that can only be used at very specific timing. It would take you 50 OCGDs between Third Eye and Seigan to make up one transition period Shoha.

AST's oGCD heals aren't really enough to support a whole raid though. It's Aetherflow heals that are the real problem because they're basically the most powerful heals in the game yet they're oGCD and SCH gets 3 every single minute. They have so many that they often just blow their aetherflow on more damage with Energy Drain. Other healers can't compete.

I'm on Adders and I wish I got premades. Seems like I get premades less often than any GC.

You get a 1200 potency single target version of Guren and a double iaijutsu CD. What more do you want?

If you switched the levels of Shoha and Senei would that satisfy you?

I don't get the desire for the lvl 80 skill to be the "best" one when ideally you'd want to get the good skills as early as possible so you can use them while leveling and when you get synced down.

Yeah but thats like once per fight. You'll never see anudda Shoha. I'd much rather get a cooldown or a rotational move.

>AST's oGCD heals aren't really enough to support a whole raid though
It doesn't need to yet it's getting buffed to do exactly that in ShB. The entire card system is on the oGCD and while the average DPS boost AST can give in ShB will be lower than right now, it's now -always- a DPS boost as the RNG is gone and you can easily buff more than one target at once in some cases with Sleeve Draw and Divination. It's funny to me people seem to think AST is somehow becoming irrelevant because AoE Balance is taken out but it's still stupidly good, especially for burst phases.

are they doing anything related to spreading skills better as you level?
i swear most classes rotation are complete ass until 68

>take away 100 potency on fairy
>give sacred soil a 100 potency regen

Nerfing scholars is a complex task

Nope. Only gets worse as some low level skills got moved to higher level

Cards overall are going to be about 60-70% as good as they were on average.

Bad card RNG sucked but the payoff was so high compared to the ShB numbers that it didn't matter.

ASTs are more lamenting the loss of the interesting card mechanics in favour of "all cards are balance" because parsefags hate RNG.

Even if all cards still give damage, I wish they had at least kept 1 extra unique non-damage effect on each card.

They buffed Fey Illum too. Just really questionable decisions all around. SCH will be a lot more boring but seems just as busted if not more than it already was.

I don't know about most jobs, but MCH definitely looks better to play at lower levels.

If you have less than 30 ping it probably is

I never liked thancred, so i hope we get a new tank trust npc eventually

What the fuck is a oGCD?

i'm a middie master race, filthy beastman

Off Global Cooldown. Skills like rampart, provoke, Berserk, Internal Release, Rouse. You can use them inbetween you normal skills.

SMN is getting fester really early now

oGCD = off GCD

It's a skill that is not tied to the 2.5s Global Cooldown.

No, if anything jobs are even worse now. Not MUCH worse, but still worse. MNK especially has almost no skills at 50.

every skill labeled as Ability is off global cooldown

Skills represent an evolution of a class. getting guren changed the class quite a bit. This represents... irrelevant levels of damage during a phase shift.

>Sacred Soil has more potency than indom
>and the same cooldown
>and 10% damage mitigation
>with 50% uptime

Were they trying to make the most OP healing move imaginable?

The GCD is so slow there's shit to press in between the GCD rolling again. Those are called off GCDs, or oGCDs, they also don't do a GCD roll when you press them and are mostly instant.

It's the same potency as Indom.

I rewtched all the old job trailers and whoever makes them really fucking stepped it up for SHB. The transitions are VASTLY improved

>Actually got to move Sacred Soil from my situational keybinds to one of my main ones

I am ready

From the media tour soil's instant buff application works for the HoT, so you get an extra tick immediately when placing it

whether that's how it'll work on release, who knows

Can a class not evolve at levels below the cap? If anything it is fucking dumb when jobs have to work with an incomplete or modified rotation as they level, and then at level cap they suddenly get a skill that changes everything and they have to relearn their job. That's what happened to BLM in Heavensward where they learn Fire IV at 60 which practically makes them a new job.
