I feel like grinding a Eureka relic to max, but last time I stopped was when I was halfway to getting a Pagos one done (halfway being I got a +1 relic, all the eyes needed, 500 crystals, but only like 6 light when I need 26). Are there any good ways to solo grind light in Pagos so I can get in, get done, and fuck off from that place forever?

The only reliable way to do it solo is to do the level sync cheese with the bunny fate and wolves. Good luck, since half the time some chucklefuck comes and solos the bunnies if you're in a dead instance trying to do it.

what's the point in playing the game after the first month of the expansion anyway? I'm going to have a great time doing the MSQ, have fun doing the first two or three savage fights, rage at the final savage fight until I clear it and then uninstall in a month. I'll come back in 6 months when savage is unlocked, and gear up real fast to do the next raid tier and then uninstall again.

No, not really, youre better off on the NM train.
Also if you need anything Eureka related you better start now because shits gonna be irrelavent soon.

she belongs to me, fuck off.

How should am I supposed to get gear while leveling through SB dungeons as a healer? I just had a tank leave because I wasn't in overleveled synced gear.

i have no idea what 99% of this image means

Should've taken the WHMpill while you still could.

No, you fuck off!

>some dude in Mentor chat spazzes out and kicks a leaf who says he'll pray for him

I need that Enhanced Intelligence pic

I like playing until I get BiS and enjoy the week-to-week content because I do it with friends. The story is fun so I like keeping up with each patch, the 24-mans are easy but have excellent flavour and sometimes fun fights, and I like collecting the unique event stuff that comes around in the downtime between patches.

Raiding is still my favourite aspect of the game but I just generally enjoy the world and hanging out in it.

What is actually the point of that? Just to make cross class skills less meaningful?

Not for long if you know what i mean *wink*

It's Hydaelyn

I dunno why they only picked a couple of the essential cross roles and didn't just add them all to everything, you still will have to level most of the crafters.

Get in line, fucker

>hurr lets bring a child into a dungeon
this would break the lore. it's adult minfilia in a small body, like scathach. the scions wouldn't bring a kid into a dungeon and make them dps

HW party is still the best. Name a comfier scene that that camping one on the way to Hraesvelgr.

byregot's and steady hand 2 are absolutely essential for reliably hqing anything
you'll still need to be an omnicrafter if you want to do high end crafting but if you're just making your own leveling gear it should be much easier, especially with the change to hq mats

If the child is the Oracle of Hydaelyn you do, I guess.

>i refuse to accept anyone actually cares enough about WHM to main it
And this is why everyone is just laughing at you SCHfags, you deserve every bad thing that happens to you

They don't have a choice because I'm playing healer and Alisae is the only other DPS with us at the time.

Honestly her description in the live letter today gave me the impression she's not just a de-aged Minfilia. At least not entirely.

So I just saw a reddit post shitting on a tank for wanting to do dungeons slow and take his time enjoying the atmosphere. Is this the current XIV playerbase? Sounds pretty toxic.

Camping with Hien, Gosetsu, Cirina, and Lyse at the Steppe. That or drinking with Hien, Gosetsu, and Yugiri the night before the attack on Doma Castle.

Were any of the other trusts shown with 'unique' jobs? Alphinaud is a "Academician" and Minfilia is "Oracle of Light".

Y'Shtola doesnt have Mistwalker as her last name anymore. What's up with that. Or was that a fucked up slide from fanfest. Or was Yea Forums trolling me?

The issue is that the TK rotation was gutted (Perfect Balance back on a 120s CD, no Wind Tackle to quickly regain stacks), so now your rotation solely consists starting in FoF until GL3, switching to FoW and getting GL4, then holding GL4 the entire fight. Nobody can figure out if using Six-Sided Star (your weaponskill Tornado Kick that refreshes GL) anywhere in a regular rotation is a DPS increase because it makes your GCD so fucking long that any combination of two MNK GCDs out-damages it. So you only use your shiny new capstone ability before downtime or when you have to move away from the boss for more than 5 seconds.

Shut up and rez so we can learn the mechanics.

No, all other trusts had regular job names.

Losing Energy Drain is dumb desu
There's no way to dump Aetherflow when it's about to come off cooldown but no one needs healing now, might as well just mash Excog and Sacred Soil on CD.

Mistwalker is Yugiri's last name or title or whatever.

They had an unfortunate divorce.

There is nothing wrong with the new AST, stop trying to act like it's not just SCHs crying

>might as well just mash Excog and Sacred Soil on CD.

Considering Sacred Soil is actually worth using, that's fine. Lucid Dreaming is going to be your primary MP restore anyways since it's only on 60s cooldown with 39s of downtime.

Byregot's and Steady Hand II are now common across all crafters, and they removed elemental aspects from recipes and crafters to be common.

Rebuilding of Ishgard is apparently going to be a Feast-style season thing with rankings and rewards for high rankers. There's also a lottery of some kind for non-crafters too.

Since you can use RoF in FoW you'll still be using it, but yeah. FoF is dead since you only ever want to be in it until you get GL4.

Same. I am starting to think people being excited for it is a meme. Game is fucking sleep inducing.

I was always an ascian, thus the Garlean Empire was created by an ascian. But I'm a good guy, you can trust me.

Attached: me.jpg (1024x576, 95K)

He's always been an ascian. His true identity is Emet-Selch who has already been mentioned by Gaius I think.

Attached: file.png (1044x2208, 3.06M)

Don't talk about my kouhai that way!

He's always been an Ascian, he let his mortal coil die so he could orchestrate things from behind the scenes while his son Varus took the reigns for a while.

Except now every card is balance, so I don't have to worry about drawing fucking 5 Spires in a row anymore

He's a garlean, and can't use magic, so doubtful he was "already" an ascian. More like elidibus gave him some power when he needed to bring him back.

Literally every single card is a Balance now you dipshit, do people really pretend that ASTs just always had a Balance on deck 100 percent of the time before?

Seems like he became an ascian somewhere before he ever appeared onscreen, so 'always' as far as we're concerned. Dying was part of his plan to fuck with people.

>AST is no longer just fishing for an expanded balance
>All the cards are DPS buffs now though

you gotta take what you can get.

I wish our loredump Ascian in ShB was Elidibus instead of Solus. I always liked him and dont want him to just be a villain now that he's in Zenos's body.

Exactly. They were a couple.

Yes, the first outfit was shit and way too off-balanced

And it doesn't matter because before 3.4, AST could get aoe balance on cooldown and it still performed horribly, 5% is literally nothing. If you weren't a retarded stormbaby you'd perhaps know that.

I hope she grows her hair out when we see her in the level 80 job quest.

i flex between SCH and AST with my co-healer (you know, as you should do as an actual tank and healer) and i guarantee that AST is looking like hot garbage. there is way, way too much synergy between SCH and WHM and unless they ramp up AST's numbers to the point their cards and divination makes DPS checks become a non-issue, they will not be viable for the entirety of the expansion

and im not talking 'not meta', im talking 'you wont be able to play it' like it was at HW's launch. WHM feels like trash to play and SCH was dumbed down to their level, and you would think AST is the only job that is not braindead and will feel neat to play as, but they will either straight up not be viable or bring all the other healers' numbers down to accommodate it. from what theyve shown us thus far, there is no escape

I know job quests are mostly gone except at 80, but they said DNC and GNB will still have quests every couple levels since they're new right?

It's always been that way. People just put too much value into time instead of simply enjoying the little things.

dnc and gnb get a 60-70 questline like everyone else, and the level 80 job quest

Use Shinten. Your core loop is essentially keep Meikyo Shisui on cooldown, ALWAYS Kaiten your Higanbana and Midare Setsugekka, only use Midare if MS and Hagakure are both on cooldown, always hit your positionals for extra kenki, and use as many Shintens as you think you need which will often be as many as possible.

>SCH still top healer

They start at 60 and have a 60-70 questline and an 80 quest like everyone else.

That just means you need some more nerfs, open up.

Look user, if I go into an Expert roulette and I'm not with any first-timers, I expect to speedrun this shit. I'm fine with taking it slow if it's someone's first time or if it's any leveling dungeon at all (since I queued knowing I'd get a leveling dungeon), but Expert dungeons are for doing slowly once then getting over with as fast as possible.

That being said I almost always tank so I get to go at whatever pace I want.

I liked SAM because it was slow. I'm kind of dumb and playing it gave me time to think.
But after acquiring Kenki mastery II, the way Kenki generated so quickly became problematic, and now with Hagakure I have even less time to think about how to use it. If I bottom out I sometimes don't have enough to Kaiten my Higanbanananas and Setsugekkas. It's all giving my poor brain a conniption.
Thank you though.

Can you post the NORMAL MNK rotation? Not the one with Tornado kick.

Just came back a few weeks ago and I forgot everything about MNK but have it at ilvl 384 for some reason.

Your elezen looks like a femroe

what is the most bearable job getting trough early game

Fuck yeah

Coming ShB, the best meele DPS will be (in order):

SAM
NIN
DRG
MNK

the viera unironically looks like a boy

Seething wow refugee

I'm the same way as you in that classes with a lot of fucking busywork makes me frustrated and confused. Just think of Shinten as something you can hit that's off the GCD that you use whenever you have kenki you're not using. A safe way of thinking about it is if you have more than 30 kenki, use Shinten. Other than that you just have to worry about keeping up your buffs, hitting positionals, and having enough kenki to buff your Higanbana and Midare when you use it.

i'm glad i'm not the only one who thought that

Wasn't sure if I was the only one who saw that.

If you have trouble keeping up a 60s dot and 60s cd then melee dps is just not for you. SAM is pretty slow and it only takes a little while to realize the flow of your rotation and kenki,

Thats a sexy hrothgar

DRG and NIN are still best. Go nack to your cuck shed

GL4 is great. FoF buff is pointless. Anatman is great - SSS is overkill and needs to be reworked. We have RoE (an extremely powerful mitigation tool) Anatman and Form Shift for GL management. Raptor form AoE is good, RoF still needs to not increase the GCD.

Biggest complaint is dragon kick change - it really should be turned into a buff that boosts bootshine's potency or any sort of buff that persists. With higher SkS we could do DK and TS every 3rd GCD rotation but since it is consumed on the next bootshine we are forced to use it every other time when they just gave us a tool that could change how we play somewhat through the bonus SkS.

By nerf, they probably thought "nerf crit deploy and make dps like AST but make SCH heal more"

The only reason people use NIN/DRG is because of Trick Attack and Battle Litany.

Without those raid groups would be begging for MNKs or SAMs.

Would that be the lvl 60 GNB freebie set? Or is it just an artist interpretation of the edgy MSQ glam we got last patch?

we can assume the AF4 and paired weapon is the freebie set since the only time they didn't do that was HW where it was a weekly tomestone set for some reason.

He joins you when you are invading the garlean castrums to save Minfilia and Papalymo, and later on against Arbert and his posse when he saves you and Thancred.

I see it now. Fuck, means we'll never get it.

If they removed those they would have to buff their damage to be in line with samurai

Oh, I get the point of it. It's incredibly niche and mainly serves to deal some damage when we need to move for mechanics. I just don't believe it is needed in its current state. I'd like to see something like DRG where Tornado Kick is upgraded to SSS during RoF, and you end RoF with SSS then TK after it gets downgraded for some huge burst before getting stacks back with PB.

I meant the lvl 60 set like RDM and SAM got at 50.

That's what I'm saying. SAM can carry the damage of NIN and DRG, but people want the two instead because groups feel that one job can't have all that power and it should be dispersed to others.

He had a book so by default he was an arcanist. He was always on the backseat anyways until his galaxy brain play during the Warriors of Darkness arc. He didn't summon a carbuncle though if I remember.

I'm the user who posted the changes - I don't play MNK outside of just getting it to 70 and messing around with the TK rotation a bit but it feels like y'all are just going back to 4.0 MNK without anything really new to tide you over. At least if SSS were reworked to be usable regularly in your rotation it wouldn't seem like you got so little.

I suppose if you enjoyed old MNK this is better news than I'm making it out to be (and getting your AoE fixed is still really nice), I just wish you guys got a little more shiny new things to go along with the expac.

The GNB job trainer is going to be a hrothgar in Squall glamour.

You missed the PLD icon on the third guy

Never played tank, which should I try for ShB?

Basically it's a shitty level 80 skill.

He summoned the carbuncle in ARR when you save Minfilia and Papalymo.

probably dark if you're trying to follow the MSQ

an attempt was made

the reason why it was funny for monk was that you literally get people with weapon skills to farm resource for you, so if anything a dancer version would be the way to go here

You playin with fire boy, that template's cursed.

i was basing it off

Any of them except DRK unless you really want to be lore-friendly with the MSQ. If you have something level 70 already you can get a free level 60 tank with GNB.

GNB would be the most accessible for newbies already at ShB content since it starts at 60 and thus already has a full "kit". As translater-chan said, ShB trusts would make for good practice though ShB dungeons are the only things with trusts so maybe not

That is way too much work for this indie team. But changing potencies around? Not a problem.

Hopefully not.

I don't have a problem with Dark Arts, it's just pretty unimaginative and boring but I can live with it.

GUNbros...

Raubahn had given up any hope of freeing their homeland. Naturally he'd hate him.

Yoshida explicitly said they'd work more FF VIII stuff in to satisfy fan expectations, and a major thing in FF VIII is Ultimecia drawing Griever from Squall's mind as his concept of "the strongest possible being".

Attached: 1421958366903.jpg (640x480, 71K)

Eden is clearly FF8 considering you see Eden in the distance.

How have they managed to do that housing item preview, even with items you don’t own yet but can’t give a proper glamour log?

Eden isn't even a boss in VIII though. I'm guessing in XIV it's some machine designed to restore all the elements to the world and the raid will be about powering it up or fixing it etc.

I unironically don't think Dark Arts alone was what made SB DRK unfun to play. It was a combination of Blood Weapon being active for so often when it prevented you from doing a non-clipped double weave when you had to double weave extremely often.

I wish they would have at least left the Haste on BW so our rotation wasn't literally just scuffed WAR.

60-70 is all improvements, actually
the capstone is the blackest night, which lets drk actually have more that two and a half kinds of mitigation, you can give it to other people, and it gives blood when it pops so it pays for the dps loss of using it instead of dark arts. it's very good and it's getting buffed in shb

Yoshida said nothing is planned and the FF VIII remake coinciding with the references in ShB is purely coincidence.

Don't believe his lies.

>getting buffed in shb
It's 5% more on the shield but the mana cost has been upscaled to match, which is a nerf, and that extra 5% could mean that the shield doesn't actually pop because it's still 7 seconds so you won't get the effect, which is also a nerf.

You meant 7.0 I assume. We're not getting any more expacs after 7.0. That'll be the 5th expac, same as FF11 had, and release in 2023 so 10 years since FF14 (though the last FF11 expac came out 12-13 years later). If FF14 is still surviving and thriving I guess I can see more expacs but I doubt it.

Not if the nerfed mana drain values are going through to 5.0 instead of just being test build faggotry.

user, the opener doesn't really have that many buttons to push and you just need to hit Armor Crush when Hyoton drops below 40s/do Shadow Fang every 3rd combo, but Ninki manage is a right pain in the ass.

Stick with it, Ninki is getting easier to manage in ShB and your opener and buffs/debuffs just come with practice.

You do realize the Balance is still going to theorycraft an optimal rotation for 5.0 MNK, right? I was only pointing out that MNK is getting reverted to playing how it did at 4.0 launch and barely getting anything new to make it feel different since SSS seems like shit at the moment.

I meant Huton, obviously.

I hope someone told that tank that he's in charge of the pace and if they don't like it they can feel free to leave and re-queue.

So they put Nier on the first?

I am skeptical if we'll go to the new world at all since wasn't there a big part of 11's world you never went to?

With the financial success of XIV and the brand recognition I think they will, despite MMOs being something of a weak genre right now. I think the only companies that really can bank on doing an MMO are Blizzard (Wow 2, with some kind of carryover effect from having played wow 1 since a reason a lot of people still go back to wow is the momentum of their characters), Square Enix with final fantasy, and I would say Riot could easily segway into a league MMO if they wanted to.

My concern is if it would become a magitekpunk kind of world like FF8/FF13/FF7. I know magitek doesn't necessarily exist in those but it's a shorthand for final fantasy cyberpunk or final fantasy sci fi. It would be kind of interesting to see multiple races in one of those and sci fi mmos are an empty spot right now, but it's not really my jam compared to high fantasy.

The Heavensward member with the greatsword that kills Haurchefant fights like one but isn't a DRK.

It does resemble Copied City but no, it's probably just where Innocence and his underlings are.

Class performance will vary depending on player skill. Accept it, greylet.

*makes the balance seethe because it's oriented around fluffing up one party-member consistently*

Leveling DRK with the shitty dark arts spam rotation when I know it'll be gone in 2 weeks is fucking annoying

Honestly I don't know if I'll manage to get the motivation to get high enough in time, might just cave and switch to GUN

This.

I always ask at the start if someone is monitoring DPS so I could look later and if one of them does I report them to the GMs right after.

>an extremely tiny minority is ruining a game heavily dominated by casual players who literally don't give a fuck about said minority or what they want

Also, party synergy still exists and even if literally no job had raid utility there would still be a meta and people would optimize fights around it.

Maybe if you stopped seething about literally nothing and just played the game to have fun you'd realize how little people actually give a shit about """the meta""". Enjoy my (You).

comparing ff11 to ff14, 14 has reel in more popularity so I think they can still salvage the rest of 14 lore to keep veteran players comeback for more.

Honestly, my only gripe with NIN is Kassatsu -> Raiton. That shit is so fucking clunky. I hate it. You have to space out the button presses, otherwise you'll mess it up. It doesn't help that the animation for Kassatsu is so understated that you don't have a visual cue to start your mudras. It just becomes a rhythm you have to commit to muscle memory. It's the only class where I have to be deliberate and paced with my buttons. No other class demands that.

Thanks bros

finish drk user.

It's miserable playing Dark Knight until 66, have fun with that.

And they'll optimize by figuring out which job is best paired with a DNC for the greatest rdps, so enjoy your even worse parsefag elitism, dumbass.

WHM fags are literally delusional.

Well, you'll be doing Kassatsu -> Hyoton in Shadowbringers but for now you can just do Kassatsu -> Fuma and depending on ping actually gain potency because of potential clipping with Raiton.

Also, are you doing Kassatsu into Raiton between GCDs? Ideally you Kassatsu, then at least one GCD later do your mudra(s).

Augmented shire gear is fine until bardam's mettle. You can run that dungeon a few times if you want to gear up.

Definitely, I think Yoshi has also gotten a kind of personality recognition like Todd Howard that makes some people willing to take a gamble on it if his name is attached to it. I haven't done final fantasy games before this except a few days of FF11 and if he's in charge of FF16 I'd be happy to give it a try if it has the high fantasy theme he said he prefers.

He didn't chimp out, he intentionally used them as a blood sacrifice. It was rather like the calculus of someone like Osama or ISIS except Ilberd was willing to put his money where his mouth was and sacrifice himself in it too. I honestly wish the Eorzeans had half the strategic wit he did because that was a master stroke and he absolutely won.

The asian school-shooter haircut brother of the Tsuyu did a half-assed version of it since the Garlean subordinates could have and would have reported otherwise. While there was no way Ilberd would lose unless the Eorzeans themselves were conquered. And even if they were Shinryuu would commit mass destruction in Garlemald (except not because he was easily captured). Griffith wishes he was half the strategic genius the Griffin was. I am not uploading my picture because my IP is banned from doing so not because I am Ilberd, I promise.

To get the robot frog, you have to do final savage with 7 French players via DF.

Tankbros is it faster to rerun top dungeon when you're leveling your first job through expansion MSQ if you hit a wall or are sidequests more efficient?

Nothing its a perfectly acceptable way to play the game and get fulfillment from it.
I enjoy getting to bis and helping friends get to bis in a static to be ready for when ultimate drops.

Oh, right, I forgot I was in complete control of all RNG, how silly of me

Sidequests give essentially negligible exp in FFXIV. Just rerun your highest level dungeon.

Ser Zephirin, who also happens to be the guy who kills Haurchefant, appears in the 70 DRK quest as your boss fight while Fray is fighting Arbert.

He uses a bunch of the pruned DRK abilities like Scourge and it causes me unending asshurt to this day.

No he didn't. He wanted to punish the people of ala mhigo, the empire, and the alliance. He got none of that, thanks to Ala Mhigo. At the point he did the shinryu 9/11 attempt he didn't care about freeing ala mhigo anymore. He was loony.

Dungeon. Sidequest are really for world building unless its a beast tribe. Specifically, the stormblood ones are a good chunk of exp

So 4 RDMs, 2 WARs, and 2 ASTs?

What I've learned from grinding my tank jobs in preparation for ShB is that the average healer is way way way way way way way worse at the game than the average tank

I actually can't remember the last time I let a tank die in a leveling dungeon roulette as a healer, meanwhile these fucktards I'm getting don't AOE, don't DPS at all, stand still for like five seconds between each heal instead of casting them back to back on large pulls, don't EVER use Largesse or any other big cooldowns, and need several minutes every dungeon to realize I'm not going to respect the fucking content and will actually try to get us out in under 20 minutes

No wonder I get 2-3 commends all the time when I heal dungeons if this is what people are seriously putting up with

Just think thats the retards they are catering to. Sad

The term Netflix healers is not a joke.

Healing is not particularly fun or stimulating so usually it's slow, braindead retards that flock to it.

Which is why healers should be whipped into DPSing. Healers should absolutely be contributing DPS. Tanks do. So should they.

There needs to be more mounts that you can get just from sidequests. Everything is locked behind raids, instanced content, or achievements that take decades to do.

Mounts aren't a right, they're a privilege.
And you've already got a flight-ready chocobo.

Unfortunately SE seem to be going the opposite direction since they apparently live in a fantasy land where OGCD heals aren't more than enough healing for even Savage content

Learn to raid or do extremes, user. They're fun!

Dude what. How high are you right now.

Sadly seems like the opposite is happening. I haven't touched healing in XIV because none of the classes appealed to me but I desperately want to be a NWN/D&D style cleric melee/armored healer again. I know that will never happen in XIV because no job in FF seems to be an armored healer and their apparent hostility to healing DPSing judging from fears of healers they wouldn't be able to DPS in Shadowbringers makes me know that'll never happen. But man when I can do some clutch rez and heal as a RDM I feel so happy. It's why I am vaguely interested in dancer even if my character will look fucking ridiculous as a dancer, because it seems to be the buff happy ranged class.

Level a tank you cuck you'll get a completely free mount that's one of the most exclusive in the game since women, children, and trannies get tankxiety

I wish more were tied to non-grind achievements. Things like doing content at minimum item level, or simply even giving us an area-friendly mount for all the side quests in a specific zone.

>first DRK job duty was basically a metaphor for how you shouldn't spam Dark Arts too much or you'll run out of MP and die

The only reason people find so many GCDs to DPS is that it's a reward for maximising your OGCD healing tools. Giving us more means to heal this way will just allow people to DPS more.

I was referring to the language used to justify the healer changes. YoshiP basically said that they aren't happy with the current situation and want healers to heal, saying that in their view SCH wasn't pulling their weight and was forcing the duty onto their co healer too much

Now this is what I am talking about. Not just gil/experience but something more worthwhile.

Or maybe you could just do the already existing hard content. You'd already have an omega mount, flying snake, air force, gobwalker... yet all I hear is "waaah why can't I get a mount from fates"

Does the new crafting ui help the crafting simulators become more accurate?

YoshiP seems to think that giving healers more DPS tools = healers DPSing instead of healing, when that's not the case with people who know how to play the game. Competent healers will always heal just the required amount then go back to DPSing (like they should, because there's no reason to heal people more than they need to survive the next mechanic).

It's hilariously how out-of-touch that statement is, because SCHs can output a fuckton of healing when they need to (and should be doing like a good healer). Since YoshiP clears raids with pugs maybe he had one bad SCH experience and started a crusade.

>What's the dumbest DPS class?
MCH

But I already have those.

Oops meant to quote and not

Who here is ready to be completely fucking disappointed by the SINGLE job quest we will get at level 80 instead of an actual questline because they're lazy fucks

I'll fly into haneda and go directly to SE headquarters if they're ACTUALLY as good and long as an entire normal questline

yes idiot what the fuck else would you do

Unless they are going full retard with more references bosses, I don't see this happening. And with Eden and Nier, I'd kinda like some original stuff instead.

>area-friendly mount for all the side quests in a specific zone.

you mean like the beast tribe quests that have existed for half a decade?

There's a lot of trap options for noobs like side quests (shit xp) leves (shit xp) guildhests (shit do) and FATES (shit xp)

No one cares about that here. Apparently all that matters is the "hard" content raiding.

It’s a single quest but it’s length is the same as 5 of them every 2 levels. No one dud the quests in SB until 70 for skill anyway.

fates are fine for the first 30ish levels if you're a dps who can't dungeon spam trying to meet a level wall for an MSQ

Who gives a flying fuck. Job quests were little more than retarded chores on most jobs because only drk got to play around with the msq stuff. I hope they fuck off with role quests in the next expansion and remove this shit entirely.

>as good
Well, considering the average quality of job questlines in SB that's probably a safe bet
>as long
Hell no that's not happening with how involved the Role Quests are apparently going to be.

I see the point you're making but I just want them to continue to diversify how mounts are distributed since I can't stop myself from collecting mounts.

Why must it be so complicated to grow some damn onions? I just want to increase my bird's level cap without going broke!

My worry is that they are "role quests"

one quest for all 4 tank jobs
one quest for all 3 healers
one quest for all dps
and no quest for BLU

Not too disappointed because DRG's was a fucking abomination in stormblood so I already have dismayed expectations. Go from the kino wonder of 2.0's quest with Estinien to the melancholy of 3.0 to playing DR. G PHIL to a dragon brat who wants mommy and daddy to get along. You have the entire wealth of far eastern dragon stories, all the wealth of far eastern dragon mythos to draw upon for storytelling and I get something I'd expect from a fucking calarts cartoon. I'm not asking to slay dragons but how about have me be the pupil to some wise Eastern dragon to help herald the DRG into becoming a warrior who marries the might of man and dragon for the betterment of both instead of to defeat dragons?

How cucked are healers?

I did, but the fact you could do them in a slightly weird order kinda made them feel strange. They were introducing me to the Sekiseigumi in the MSQ despite the fact I had been helping them already.

you should have bought them when they were cheap as fuck but then the BLU glitch happened and they sold for millions

Yeah I hope they just stop doing MSQ entirely.
Infact, I wish the game was just a boss select screen.

Oh they are. If I understood right that's 100% what they are. Even more infuriating because I bet now we'd have good writing for our jobs and the rich potential of having a job quest that deals with our First-shard equivalent. So you would get a taste of something new.

Instead it's just going to be "Echo adventures of one of the Warriors of Darkness"

I just hope they're longer than the normal Job quest and deal with the usual Class/Job NPC's.

What does this have to do with raiding? Take this to /xivg/.

You do realize posting a widely beloved character from an incredibly successful job quest sort of defeats your point that they should be removed right?

SE makes so much fucking money removing job quests when they're one of the few unique things about the game should be unacceptable. It's the exact same trash decision TOR did, making everyone go through the same story for expansions instead of unique class ones

run back your erp shithole you fucking scrub, everything in the game that doesn't have extreme/savage/ultimate in the instance title can be facerolled by an inbred FAS 6 year old scrub. it's practically insulting to call the mind numbing autism simulators like gathering, eureka, and beast tribes that make up the rest of the game """"content"""" at all.

Depends on the artist, but do it faggot

It really doesn't because the one quest isn't worth having to slog through the 10 other idiotic ones.

If it is one BIG quest then I'm fine with it despite liking the job quests, going and doing a tiny slice of a story then "COME BACK IN 2 LEVELS BRO" is kinda irksome.

Cute!

Ouch Scholars. He's not wrong though.

>"Echo adventures of one of the Warriors of Darkness"
There's no physical dps class in their group.

No wonder you're playing alone, m8

Everyone loses some DPS tools and have been homogenized into: Single target spam, dot, AoE.

>WHM lillies are just gained over time and are used on heals that are on the global cooldown (lol). After using like 3 they can use a smelly nuke spell
>SCH gets angel fairy summon, dedicated crit heal cooldown
>AST redesigned to only have single target DPS buffs for all their cards

SCHfags are crying that their job is ruined because they don't have Miasma or Energy Drain anymore and pretend that their job broil spam 99% of the time anyways

Just annoys me that 90% of XIV art is futa shit. There's like 1 person that gets hetro Alisaie art and 1 person that gets hetro Alphinaud art.

Imagine uninstalling everytime. Do you have like a 100 GB hd?

>The amount of mobs in each pack is just hilarious desu
Mobs were hidden in Stormblood dungeon trailer too you autistic cunt

Hence why I'd imagine every DPS gets grouped together into the same basic bitch quest.

You can solo heal Savage, there's simply not enough actual damage going out. There's unavoidable raidwide AOE and some tankbusters a few times a minute. That's it. You need a group full of mongoloids constantly fucking up mechanics before natural hp regen, fairy embrace and OGCDs are no longer good enough

Everyone must play the same
EVERYONE MUST PLAY THE SAME
NOT ONE MAN SHOULD FEEL THE SHAME

HEALERS NEED NOT DPS

>AST returns to the shed

GMs don't give a fuck about parsing if you're not harassing people with it as stated many times before. Your reports do nothing

There's a PLD, a WAR, a WHM, a BLM, and a BRD. Melee DPS will probably get Arbert even though he's a warrior while the tanks will get the paladin roe

Why is crafter armor locked onto the job? You should be able to unlock it and then be able to glamour it.

wow has the same problem... any fantasy game, really, because the fantasy setting gives an excuse for futa I guess. it's tiresome.

BLU is not getting to 80 anyway, so it's still gonna get a questline from 50 to 60 and maybe 60 to 70.

i want to farm a doggo mount
will i be able to get one in time and which one is the easiest to get?

I'm going to assume Arbert is going to be assigned to melee DPS because it's not like WARs don't think they're DPS anyways.

>Blanhaerz: Tank Role (PLD)
>Arbert: Melee DPS Role (WAR)

What will the primal "mounts that no one uses but casuals will grind for it anyways" mount be this time? Deer? Frogs?

How is this acceptable to make even less content? First it was 2 dungeons each patch then 1, now shb is looking even more devoid of content. Don't even get me started on SBs huge areas with nothing in them.

Pffffffft jesus. I guess at least the new animation is pretty.

Veteran bullshit aside, I still find it funny DRK goes from 3 combos initially, then 2 combos, and then just a single one.

doesn't Korea or China have the option to use Crafter gear as glamour for whatever

Holy shit it's real, Lamimi is a bearded Dwarf on the First.

There's 1 extra dungeon this time and don't even pretent that intermittent job quests were "content", only the capstone one mattered or had anything interesting.

Seiryu is the only one that doesn't have an increased drop rate. Lakshmi susanoo or byakko are the easiest fights. People still fuck up shinryu and tsukiyomi for some fucking reason so don't bother with those until next xpack

Yes, 9 dungeons on launch up from 8 in HW and SB. Either one if 70 or there's two story dungeons at 80

I don't really get why people are getting upset over having less job quests in 5.0 when in SB most of them were pretty fillery up to 70 and a questlines like WAR, PLD, DRG, WHM, etc. just seemed to be running out of ideas as to what to do with the job lore and characters.
Having one job quest will at least fix the filler issue

If we knew they wouldn't be spoilers. Last time it was clear we'd eventually go to Ala Mhigo because we're liberating it. This time revealing, I dunno, you fight Hydaelyn by having a dungeon taking place in her realm whatever the fuck that could be would be a major reveal. Or going back in time to when the light began to flood the world, or intentionally having to fight the Crystal city thing and the good guys because you need to make them despair enough as a Warrior of Darkness.

>filler
Why do you even play FF.

DRK quests were literally the only noteworthy casualty of the job quest purge and this entire expansion looks like it's going to be a DRK job quest anyway

It's even possible the one quest we get is substantial enough to be the length of at least a couple normal job quests combined. I'm going to reserve judgement until I can see what the jobs quests are really like.

Wrong. We get a level 80 job quest for each job and then a series of WoD themed role quests from 70-80.

AKA we gutted every other tank for this, when this comes out we'll be gutting it too eventually. Pureseu rook forwald to eet

FSH is truly lalafell's forte

Attached: Final.Fantasy.XIV.full.2526461.jpg (1920x1080, 1.7M)

It's only DRK that is gutted, eat shit edgefag

yeah, i can't say most job quests weren't just "go here, now go here, now go here" until you get to the climax so it's not like you couldn't consolidate most of it into one quest anyways.

GNB doesn't even look remotely difficult, it's just YoshiP shilling the new class. It'll be about as easy as PLD and WAR.

Would you be happy if the MSQ was parked down to just ten quests, 1 per level, since the rest were all filler? How about just buying the expansion and being given full gear and all trials and raids unlocked with no story at all?

Even the most "filler" job quests still usually provided more lore and background on the world and the job. If I'm playing Summoner I want to hear about Summoner shit, don't lump me together with faggot red and black mages I don't care about them or the stupid warrior of darkness jobber

>I enjoy having 9 levels of quests where nothing happens only for something to finally happen when I hit the next level
Okay

It gets two combos. By definition that makes it the hardest tank.

Not that that is saying much.

Yoshi probably thinks the Rip and tear combo is complex or something

And of course the person whinging about nothing is a SMN.

DRK has been so utterly fucked that I can't be certain that Heavensward wasn't just a dream.

I think the reason why it seems like SE is asking healers to "actually" heal now in ShB is because, the next raids will have the boss do a fuckton of damage that the healers have to fully concentrate on healing or some shit.

PLD unironically looks to have the most complex rotation

I don't want to share my DRK quests with PLD and WAR who I have nothing in common with lorewise either

Also, not an argument.

I'd potentially argue that PLD having Atonement and a (not as strict anymore) Requiescat window is as difficult as GNB's second combo, but I guess for the average player hitting one oGCD between three GCDs is extremely difficult.

That's exactly what the reasoning is.

I don't know why dpsing as healer is bad. There have been many runs where I run as healer and I sped up the run dpsing due to the dps sucking as at damage. And now, Yoshi wants me to have 30+ minute runs due to dps being bad.

You must be new so I'll say this in the nicest way I can.
Your are incorrect.

Attached: dontdos.png (340x504, 266K)

Cool that doesn't retroactively change every quest and dungeon from 1-70

As a PLD main I'd argue that because its rotation is so static it's probably one of the easier rotations, but it certainly has the most variety out of any tank by a long shot.

Just watch. A constant poison the whole EX run. The longer the run happens the harder the tick.

Why do they keep taking abilities away

Attached: goose.jpg (640x360, 17K)

Stuff actually happens in the MSQ. Most job quests in SB were often just walking to a place, killing a pack of dudes, and turning it in. Repeat that 3-4 times and then have a big boss fight at the end. The whole thing could be consolidated into one quest for how tiny they generally were

You don't know what they are even going to be about yet you retard.

Not that sounds like a good mechanic but there is no way Square will ever make healing harder than it currently is. The role's DPS actions were universally culled because YoshiP was concerned certain jobs (SCH) were "DPSing instead of healing" when the reality was that they were healing with oGCDs that let them DPS more.

Can't wait for every fight to be like God Kefka. Healers are always shit players when they actually have to heal instead of being stone spamming parse niggers

To avoid bloat. They have been doing this for 6 years now fucking newfag.

where can i find the rest of the high quality renders?

>SE makes the game easier and easier every expansion
>"N-NO, IT WILL BE DIFFERENT THIS TIME"

Attached: 1553794999427.png (399x382, 87K)

Yes we do retard every tank will be following one of the Warriors of Darkness, either Arbert or the Roegadyn paladin.

Don't talk about shit you don't know

They keep adding new ones and want to prevent bloat.

Take your own advice silly bollocks

The bloat buzzword ignores the fact that Black Mage lost nothing and in fact gained abilities

In fact a large number of jobs will have fewer abilities than they did back in Heavensward, the game is actually getting more and more simple over time

Because ability bloat is a real thing and rotation refinement is good for the game because it improves the fun parts of the job and helps keep them feeling distinct. Monkeybrain players who experience severe distress in response to any form of loss are an unfortunate casualty of this process, but it's necessary because if they never took anything away, every job would be a monstrosity with 100 buttons half of which are useless situational skills that everyone has.

People still healed as little as possible in God Kefka too, retard-kun. And they'll continue to do so even if every fight hit required more healing than God Kefka. You don't heal by reactively spamming Medica or Helios when damage happens, you plan to use extremely potent oGCD heals whenever possible because that helps you contribute towards killing the boss faster.

BLM barely had any shit to begin with.

All the bullshit aside, you know how thankful I am to be finally able to heal off of souleater because now I don't have to take grit off while MTing? Thank the fucking lord. Holy shit it's going to feel good.

>He joined a modern MMO expecting complexity from jobs
You have nobody to blame but yourself.

BLM's primary rotation was literally six buttons, they still had plenty of room for more.

At this rate it's just imagine how bad it will be in 10 years. I can honestly say you will see a MOBA MMO, and with as many abilities as you see in assfaggots games.

If only GNB didn't cuck you that too.

Man am I glad to finally quit DRK. SE fucking hates that job.

Don't even need to wait 10 years user, there are "MMOs" for smartphones right now that are literally what you just described.

WoW is pretty much a moba mmo at this point.
