It's a minigame class that you can't actually do any of the actual content and story progression on.

Tanking is completely brainless now though, even holding aggro is a total non-issue since you have no limit on how much you can AoE. In casual content you don't even need to use cooldowns, you'll survive anyway. I can definitely see a lot of people picking up the Tank role since it's been scrubbed of almost all responsibility and it's now effectively just an easier DPS. "Tank anxiety" might keep some people away but no one who actually tries a tank will fail at it.

It was in pvp already pre SB. Nin were just so retarded back then they had to change how kakuremi works. Spawncamping fucks.

>Being a lanky ugly giraffe
No.

You're a woman, Hydaelyn. And just like any other women they're are stupid, lazy, and evil.

NIN's burst looks fucking crazy now

You need to go back.

yeah but now with the way pvp works post SB its incredibly broken in pvp
especially when there's ALSO B4B and SF debuff

I have 40 ping and the game still likes to eat a mudra.

Patch notes when

I thought Yoshi said no pvp updates until 5.1?

I might but I'm probably in the minority. I've played a lot of tank in everything outside of Savage just for shorter queues. I enjoy the role and sometimes dictating the flow of the encounter. The only reason I never "mained" them and brought them to raid is because I never really fell in love with any of them. People say GNB looks somewhere between PLD and WAR in terms of damage/utility, which sounds perfect to me.

Assassinate already applies the TA debuff in PvP if you use it from Hide. Most likely this change is a NIN nerf, and when you're hidden you have to choose between straight damage with Assassinate or TA for the debuff+less damage.

Chances are Wednesday night, right before or after the servers go down. I wish they'd do the pre-patch notes a day before maintenance, just so we can plan on where to park at the very least.

Most of the melee DPS are incredibly good at creating burst windows. MNKs can kill almost anyone in a couple of seconds with all of their shit up, but that might change in SHB because lol TK.

Well they said that a new Frontline mode is coming in 5.1 so that's probably what he meant.

PvP would have to change some, as they're getting rid of TP.

unbased

That's not worth using at all because not only do you have to waste 3 mudra, but you also throw away assinate

Now TA is completely separate making a stupidly broken burst

NIN looks so satisfying in ShB with an actual AoE combo, Duality reworked into Bunshin and the new Kassatsu but mudra spam really does fuck it up unless you're camped out next to the servers. Fuma getting turned to shit by the removal of dripping is going to hamstring a lot of NIN players even worse than currently.

What? MNK is like the worst in pvp because of how predictable their burst is, you see a giant flower and you just fuck off or stun

My guess is because Kakuremi no longer requires mudra/ninki, you are now forced to be hidden to use Assassinate. Same with TA.

The problem is that if we can't change our names until after maintenance, the servers are going to be so congested that if you try to rename your character you'll get locked out of them because of the queues. Won't be able to change the name or log in at all until congestion clears up.

ew you're right, no more throwing dagger

Hyur is the only cool race.

I have no idea how NIN is expected to generate Ninki now that Throwing Dagger and Mug are gone. They would need to either double ninki generation off combos or halve the ninki costs of cooldowns.

Shadow fang not being a combo is fine, it makes it easier to line up

but no MUG OR THROWING DAGGERS??

Is there any job that could possibly match the DPS of Samurai? Let alone surpass its parse. And I'm not talking about a Samurai with both Shifu (Mind of the Samurai) and Jinpu (Rush of Battle), boosting attack damage and speed by 12%. I'm not talking about Samurai with Hissatsu (Hidden Technique): Kaiten (Turn the Heavens) boosted Midare Setsugekka (Chaos Slash— Snow, Moon, Flowers) either, and this skill is only usable by one who has mastered the peerless concentration of the warrior's state of mind, doing a total of 1080 potency. Hell, I'm not even talking about a combo using Hissatsu: Kaiten boosted Higanbana (Mourning Flowers), placing a DoT of 3510 potency, using Meikyo Shisui (Standing Water, Perfect Mirror Reflection) to instantly deliver a Kaiten boosted Midare Setsugekka and finishing with Hissatsu: Guren (Crimson Lotus), dealing a total of nearly 5400 potency in the space of a couple of seconds.
No, I'm talking about Samurai possessing the secret technique Hissatsu: Senei (Thousand Blades), a more powerful version of Hissatsu: Guren that does 1250 potency to a single foe, and who has mastered Tsubame-gaeshi, the technique of the REGEND Sasaki Koijiro, enabling him to perform Kaeshi (Reversal) forms of his most powerful abilities, which allows him to unleash his ultimate combo of Kaiten: Higanbana, followed by Hissatsu: Senei in the space between his next move Kaiten: Midare Setsugekka, and finally Tsubame-Gaeshi unleashes Kaeshi: Midare Setsugekka dealing 1200 immediately. Samurai has just done 7040 POTENCY in the LITERAL BLINK of an EYE.

Yes, because our static desperately needs another tank and if i was just gonna fucking play SAM anyways why not just play GNB. The rotation looks pretty active so that's kinda sick, and i've already played WAR as far as Tsukuyomi EX so I'm not completely braindead with tankswaps/mitigation.

Ignore what the other dummies said, those effect dungeon mob XP which is pretty huge, so yes they're worth it.

Job aesthetics are always the first priority to choose in what you play. If I didn't love how WHM looked in animations I wouldn't have been one. But I've stuck with the job for years even though it is widely hated here.

I wish I was like that instead of being such an indecisive person. It honestly is frustrating and depressing.

There's no danger of Yoshi ever doing that, the amount of work it'd create is beyond what they're willing to do. We'll have all of our choices made for us since we're really just along for the ride.

It sounds cool but in practice with this games netcode and other mechanics it would probably be the death knell for the game. Faction shit is a meme. It's been a problem for WoW for a very long time and it's finally compounding.

you tricked me

Despite saying what I said, I usually fall into the other category as well. I know kind of what I want, but I tend to bounce around between a lot of different jobs for variety, even if I do have a couple that I consider a main. When I started in MMOs, I rarely had a problem developing an identity because there were plenty of hybrid jobs that'd fit everything I wanted to do, but with raiding becoming so mainstream and competitive, everything's got to fit the role of a specialist now.

I see what you're saying but technically it's not quite the same thing. When he refers to removing or eroding job synergy, they mean things like needing piercing up for bard or slashing up for others. DNC can work with anyone, no job is inherently dependent upon DNC.

WoW's factional trouble should've been resolved long before this point. The Horde and the Alliance should've been working together by this point, or at the very least, the majority of the playerbase should wind up becoming neutral warriors since their strength is so great they could almost certainly decisively end the conflict for whatever side they're on.

That's one thing I'd give credit to Yoshida for, I don't think he'd be afraid to impact major changes to the game if the story justified it. Everything Blizzard rights is to maintain the status quo of the gameplay first and foremost and provide for the Warcraft lore second, which is why things have gotten so nonsensical (Beyond the poor writing in general, that is). I don't think he'd prolong a factional split for mechanical reasons if the story would suffer for it, more than likely it'd be a central mechanic for an expansion and then come to an end.

I won't buy SHB until I carefully determine what's the combat system like. I'm largely very unhappy with the changes. I mained MCH during SB and in SHB mch looks like absolute boring shit. I also played SMN a lot, but again, in SHB it just looks like it got a recoloured Bahamut. I dabbled with MNK, it was very deep and fun in SB, but in SHB it's getting gutted.
So to tell you the truth I'm not even sure I'll be playing at all.

>The way she looks at you before she says it

What did the devs mean by this?

>the Alliance should've been working together by this point, or at the very least, the majority of the playerbase should wind up becoming neutral warriors since their strength is so great they could almost certainly decisively end the conflict for whatever side they're on.
It's always amused me how this has been the case so much throughout the story but for some reason they kept writing MUH TENUOUS ALLIANCES CRUMBLED, BACK TO WAR!1
You have players from both factions working with all these different lore characters from all over the place, they all get along well, and then if you want to go really deep into it, do you really expect me to believe that people didn't end up bonding when they were fighting back-to-back-to-back world ending threats? Then you have the multitude of neutral/cosmopolitan factions made up of individuals from all races working together to do good for Azeroth as a whole. Then you grind your way up the ranks, becoming exalted champions of these orders, but somehow, through the whole thing, the player characters never ever made some new friends? made some new connections? It's dumb.

>MNK/MCH/SMN Player

Jesus christ bro, you should definitely quit the game.

If they were smart they wouldn't have gutted BRD and then made DNC an uber buffer, they would have made DNC a buffer similar to bard and spread more utility to other DPS jobs

But melee in 24 man is the best

Attached: MNK fuck yeah.jpg (842x522, 101K)

It'd have been far better to simply enhance the synergy with more jobs than remove the unique things jobs bring to the table to satisfy speedclears and parsing. We run the risk of homogenizing everything to the point where every ranged DPS brings the exact same things to the table and there's no reason to play any over the other beyond flavor.

Instead of allowing people to pick a job and have it function exactly the same as everything else in its role, XIV should've required people to level at least three different jobs or roles to ensure they have something useful for any content (With experience gain required being roughly equal to what it takes to get a single job to max level now). When everyone specifically has three different jobs they can play, the trouble of building synergy within a static goes out the window because anyone can switch to something more useful for any fight they want.

At the very least, allowing jobs to build some specialist tools that are mutually exclusive with each other (Such as other jobs being able to use a trick attack like ability but having to sacrifice some of their kit to use it) would at least mean you could play whatever job you leveled even if you had to change up some of its core skills to ensure you had a needed debuff for your raid group.

>For Yoshida-san, it’s more about correcting player mentality that trickles down from the elite raiding community down. The goal for him is for any job combination to clear any content in Final Fantasy XIV. Even in Stormblood, while balance wasn’t perfect, this was already achievable.
>The problem stems from average players trying to replicate what groups that are good enough to go for world firsts are doing. The debuffs are so useful for when you’re trying to overcome Item Level disadvantages and that was intentional according to Yoshida-san.
>However, the unintended consequence is that these tactics kind of became a “golden rule” or a default strategy for many teams.
>“Players are taking that functionality, applying it, and making it sort of like the ‘golden rule.’ Once we’re out of the period of racing for the world first, [players still] have that sort of fixated notion of: oh we need this in order to get through certain content.” said Yoshida
>Although some may miss this synergy, it also falls in line with what appears to be a general plan of sacrificing a bit of identity and player ingenuity for the sake of having a game that is as inclusive as possible to all jobs and player preferences.

>Q: After going through all jobs, the impression I’m getting here is that anything you can do with one job can also be done by other jobs of the same role. So has the philosophy changed into creating differences through gameplay feel and the game experience through jobs instead of creating a difference between what you “can do with a certain job” now?
>Yoshida: That’s right. we’re see the differences in gameplay experiences as the jobs’ characteristic. Since the mechanics of each gameplay differs, the image would be something akin to “We hope you’d enjoy the gameplay feel of each jobs”, or “the rest will depend solely on the player’s skill to decide the competition”.

I've seen this before, and it still makes me mad. Half the fun of playing is building synergy between your group, with different jobs working together in different ways. Turning every job into a hot swapable pawn is exceptionally boring and moving away from the things that make an RPG, an RPG.

We might as well be no different than chess pieces on a gameboard for how closely every job within a role works. No one's unique in function, and no thought goes into your design -- beyond your item level, your dancer will be identical to every other dancer that sets foot into a specific raid or trial. It's the easy way out in designing and balancing jobs, and when you continue down this path, you wind up with a WoW-tier blandness where sometimes the only difference between roles is the particle effects you see.

Funny

What drives me nuts is trying to herd everyone on the add phase. No matter how many times I yell in chat "Drop the AoE markers near the wall, off to the side of the boss so it doesn't overlap into other groups' adds!" the groups never listen and continue to drop it in the center of the arena, oblivious to the fact that they're hitting other people with it.

It's not hard. Drop it so the AoE split runs down the center of the add's hitbox, this way everyone can stack on the boss and move two inches to be together for the stacking AoE while still damaging the boss. And every time, someone fucks it up and gets people killed.

>hurr durr gods are bad

whatever, where are the bunnies?

Too bad, so sad. The devs value the ability for players to choose their own identity and play to their preference, over whether or not the 6% of endgame raiders feel the game is marginally more "RPGish" when they spend 30 seconds researching the optimal comp for each fight.

If you desperately need the satisfaction of looking up what jobs work best against a specific boss and then building your team in that way, try playing single player RPGs where your autism doesn't affect anyone else, instead of playing and MMO and complaining when people won't make the "right" choices.

Of all the things they had to remove why the fuck it had to be dripping seriously what the fuck is wrong with them.

It does do something, it's just an incredibly, INCREDIBLY small something.

So small a something it might as well be nothing, so it really doesn't matter.

Doing a trial near the end of ARR story. Took around 25 minutes to find players in df since I'm playing a dps. 8 person party and the fight goes by really quick. Near the end something happens but i can't tell what because of all the action and I suddenly just die instantly despite being at full health before. Everyone else kept on going and the battle ended about 4 or 5 seconds after I went down. Triumphant victory music plays while I'm lying on the ground.

I still don't know what happened and why I'm the only one that died but I got the win so I don't care.

The thing of "healers and tanks should DPS" basically started from there, so you can imagine for yourself. Healers and tanks were doing DPS back in Final Coil too but it wasn't that fucking bad like in Gordias, where it was an absolute requirement.
1 death = wipe
Everyone makes a mistake in their DPS rotation = might be a wipe
Also the fight itself wasn't exactly easy

I do play BLM, in fairness.

Agreed. Someone here posted fan art of Lalafells with decent bust before it actually looked pretty good and natural.

You know how it works. Make every role unique enough, and you inadvertently create roles that people play better/easier than others. Which results in even more glaring elitism, less effective jobs being shut out of dungeons and raids by the community. Which is based on stereotypes and bad experiences instead of the actual potential of the job. Nobody wants that.

OH SHIT NIGGAS

It wasn't impossibly tight, but everyone in the party needed to be a strong player (probably around today's purple parse). Was kind of a tall order back then since even raiders weren't as good on average as they are now.

You couldn't carry an average player through it, they'd almost certainly fail a mechanic or the DPS check.

Most statics have a "weak link" friend that they try to carry through content because they like them, and this broke a lot of those statics.

>it's real
man you at least gotta post a fake link first before you do this, it's bad form

Oh shit I thought this was bait

Narrow, the check was tight and incoming damage was pretty stupid high so it wasn't uncommon to lose random fuckers to mechanics that one shot and then just not be able to clear if they were one of your top 3 DPS.

I'm kind of surprised no one really wants to play tank. You get to go face to face to the monster and it's not like you do particularly bad DPS. It's not particularly challenging to play I feel.

Was it cape westwind? The same happened to me too, when I did it for the first time as a close range dps. He's got some tankbuster move that 1-shots you, and you can't tell which direction he's facing with all the bodies and effects in the way. Of course, no one else will die to it because they already have endgame gear and stats.

I fapped to this character. Should I feel ashamed?

Everybody loves pirates! It's like their job, being evil and robbing everybody, yet being completely useless when real enemies show up

Raiders are the very reason the problem exists in the first place, and why we're never getting anything interesting within jobs in MMOs anymore. When MMOs become entirely about MLG style speed clearing, job design suffers for it since it becomes the goal of devs to have everyone be just as effective at every piece of content to attempt to satisfy parsers' desire to play whatever their favorite job is for their server record parse. The problem they face never enters the mind of 95% of players who haven't even got a clear yet, much less a clear of any speed.

The problem with that is it makes everything else in the game that's not speed clearing a raid or trial just that much more dull, content that even the most hardcore raiders probably spend more time playing through than actually raiding. Making every job within a role the same reduces the amount of content available since now you have no reason to experience the same things with jobs within the same role. You don't bring anything different to the table as a BRD rather than a MCH, the encounter still proceeds in the same fashion every time, so once you've seen it, you don't have a reason to return rather than an artificial gear grind.

No matter what is done to the jobs, it won't really affect raiders anyway. Even if you put unreasonable demands on them such as a different party comp being more optimal for all four or five raids in a group, those players would conform to meet the challenge anyway because it's what they do. Stop shitting up the rest of the game for these people who are still going to shaft a job for having 1.5% less DPS or utility than another because unless the jobs are truly identical, they're going to do it anyway.

If it wasn't for them, he would have never reclaimed Doma in the first place.

They know Hien is just that nuts and goes with the flow. See how that crazy Steppe tribe still wants his booty after getting spanked in that ritual battle.

Yeah that was the one. I'm playing a ranged dps. The party I was with was kind of restless because as soon I was finished watching the cutscene I saw people were already typing into the chat about how they wanted to go ahead and start. As soon as it started everyone just rushed in. Seemed like the battle only lasted maybe a minute. I'm pretty sure I was the only player there that was doing it for the first time.

It really is kind of hard to keep track of everything when so much is on the screen at once.

Hardly anything new, they should have released potencies of skills, at least we would have something to do.

My bad, I thought the weekly tomes went up the same time as Normal.

Literally only happens in savage raiding and preformed groups, and even then I'd wager over half of statics don't care about anything more than clearing the fight at all. I'm sure quite a few would welcome, say, a support job that made it easier to preform some of the mechanics at a DPS loss than a DPS job that can clear the encounter 15 seconds faster for a 10 minute fight.

Besides, party finder groups for normal raids/alliance raids/dungeons/trials never kick people for playing outside the meta because it doesn't matter there. Even in the majority of extremes and savages, it doesn't inhibit clears, and especially not when gearing starts to overtake the encounter anyway.

>Most statics have a "weak link" friend that they try to carry through content because they like them

This hits really close to home, we have two DPS in our current static that are borderline awful to the point I've had to swap out of tank to BLM to meet some DPS checks, but we carry them anyway in the hopes they improve and because we don't have the heart to kick them. They want to do savage content, but they get upset when it's suggested they have to meet a minimum skill requirement to clear.

With that frame of reference, I could imagine an encounter where you're literally unable to carry them could be disastrous to an FC's coherence, especially if they have to confront the fact that they're dead weight to the group and responsible for stopping progression. Some people don't care, but the thought of being "that guy" always kept me up at night before raids, which is why I always worked so hard to ensure I wasn't. Some people just don't have the will to do that though.

How do you guys deal with glamor sets for different roles? I main paladin and glamor my short haired androgynous tomboy into a paladin set and it looks pretty great. But my other max level class is white mage and I can't really find a single healer-ish set that doesn't look awkward on my character.

You've got it on backwards. The streamlining of everything exists to appease the casuals so there's not much difference between a shit player and a good player. Basically, they're designing jobs in the way that you simply isn't really possible to do mistakes. Yoshi admits that. So everything becomes 123456 ogcd bullshit and you can comfortably watch Netflix while you're playing the game.

Do game time cards count?

Yes.

Pretty sure the game told you already that you can't be enslaved because you have the Echo, and those who have the Echo can't be enslaved. The Echo has nothing to do with Hydaelyn.

Wait did squeenix actually do that wtf

I think the real answer is more insidious, being because it's less work for the dev team. It's far easier to handle class design when everything fits into a generic template. Making parses closer together and making it easier on casuals is simply a nice side effect.

That being said, I still point to large swathes of the community complaining about "job balance" leading to the changes, despite the concept being meaningless to the massive casual playerbase, whom cannot even pass up their tank's DPS on some days. They consider their failures to be a mechanical fault of their job and clamor for buffs and homogenization, and when they get it, they quietly drop out since they now have nothing to blame for their failures.

HEALSIELDOR

My guess from our abilities.

Approximately when will Japanese developers learn not to tie these stuff to fps? How come western developers have known this for 20 years but these yellow retards can't wrap their heads around it?

>Khloe's bronze certificates of commendation have been added as rewards for completing Wondrous Tail

Attached: 1556481932707.jpg (612x716, 313K)

Anything higher than the game's intended FPS (in this case, 60) basically doesn't exist to a JP developer. It's not a problem in the first place if you're not going over the FPS cap and the FPS rate makes a convenient timer for animations, cloth physics, effects, etc., so hell, why not.

So they are basically making optimal to bring one melee, one physical ranged, and one caster, to get 5% bonus to stats. Of course I'm sure people trying to enforce this will screw up and put the free DPS slot on the left which will fill first, instead of putting it on the right.

Yoshi says right here that the changes are because elitist mentality trickles down from the raiding community and everyone, casual or not, thinks that those 1% differences matter. It's 100% the fault of raiders because if it wasn't for them making such a big deal out of balance no one else would either.

Japan is retarded when it comes to actual programming design, their solution is to always pour more man-hours into making something work with workarounds or in a very narrow context rather than learning and adopting best practices that the west uses. This goes doubly so for their idea of network infrastructure, while the west is figuring out how to fit more data down the pipe more efficiently, Japan is busy trying to figure out what important functions they can trim down to get to fit. It's why we have that dumb .7 second buffer between all of our oGCD actions.

I'll just always make it 2 melee fuck ranged

New to raiding here. Is there anything that specifically says we have to have 2 tanks, 2 healers, and 4 DPS in raids/trials, or if the mechanics allow, could we have 1/2/5 like alliance raids?

Her long neck is hidden by a giant necklace. Very typical of Elezen characters.

They should.

Probably means you need to get the mount speed + flying + maybe even swimming too buffs rather than having them as rewards for finishing quests/innately

Fights like Zorvan and Shiva EX back in the day allowed this. Most fights have tank swaps tho

>The retainer interface will now remain open upon retainer dismissal.

FUCKING FINALLY

>More cross server hunting drama
I'm ready for the salt

They won't.

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

You're allowed to take non-standard comps but only if you preform the party. If you queue up with Duty Finder/Raid Finder then you're forced into the standard comp.

>ow come western developers have known this for 20
Bethesda begs to differ, user.

Did we not tank swap Shiva stances?

>Is there anything that specifically says we have to have 2 tanks, 2 healers, and 4 DPS in raids/trials, or if the mechanics allow, could we have 1/2/5 like alliance raids?
Raid fights are designed based on that setup, so using a different composition just makes the fight harder because the boss' mechanic "target the tanks" becomes "target the tank and a random guy". and if the mechanic itself is a double tankbuster for example you wont survive it ever.
Also you get a stat boost for every "stat" you bring in the party (VIT for tanks, STR for melee DPS that use STR etc.).

the aether hunt discord is literally just drama everytime now i love it

That's like 1 developer out of 16 hunderd billion.

>Shiva EX
Wait, didn't Shiva EX had slashing debuff stacks on tank in her sword/shield phase that needed to be tank swap?

you can do the latter, but nobody will because the only relevant parses are from standard comps

The best solution, I'd say at least, is to handle abilities sent to the server in a lazy queue system. For instance, spamming your oGCDs just queues them up for use one after another so they come out smoothly and on time rather than hoping the server picks up your input twice before the next GCD is available, leading to people looking for VPNs to avoid it. Make it so you can only queue one or two abilities ahead to ensure someone doesn't spam ten attacks and lock themselves into a queue.

Pretty sure the main strat was a single tank. It's been like 5 years though.

what the FUCK did FFXIV mean by this

Just bring a Warrior an make him wear DPS gea- Oh wait, that's not possible anymore.

They just need to improve their tickrate, but that'd mean they'd be unable to cut costs on servers, so they'll never do that.

RDM, it's piss easy

Oh, does multiple stat boosts stack? I didn't realize more than one tank gave additional VIT.

I don't care about the parse so much as I care about fitting my entire FC into a raid with the jobs they want to play.

Red Mage is overpowered.

How the fuck am I supposed to clear Alphascape Savage. I just want the fucking gear for the fucking glamour but every party I join wipes and gives up. I’m so frustrated I’ll never get this shit.

I wonder if Yoshida will leave XIV now that XVI has entered large scale development and he's the most likely director

All I'm saying is that if I could play Quake on a 36k modem and feel like I'm not fighting lag when my ping is around 350, surely modern devs can figure out how to improve the perceived lag of a game that generally runs slower.

>Oh, does multiple stat boosts stack? I didn't realize more than one tank gave additional VIT.
No, it doesn't. That was an example to justify the DPS distribution (4 melees wont give an INT boost), and also, crucial, the LB gauge builds faster the more stats you have.

BRRRAAAAP

Thinking about subbing to this. Anything I should know before I buy?

SMN Phoenix trance give party heal?

Run it unsynced at lv. 80 with ShB.

Wait till you can level 80 unsync it with 20 percent Echo next week

2 tanks and 1 healer would be more likely and it's possible to do it right now with current raids.

>I don't care about the parse so much as I care about fitting my entire FC into a raid with the jobs they want to play.

You definitely won't be able to reliably do this. I don't think any of the stormblood raids could work with a nonstandard comp.

There is already an input buffer. The reason why higher ping makes it harder to weave is because when you execute an ability the server first has to verify that your character is in a state that allows them to use it. So your ping is effectively added on to the animation lock time.

I doubt they'll ever fix it properly though because latency is an issue that only affects westerners. Japs entire country is smaller than California so some people being unable to double weave probably hasn't even crossed their mind.

There's nobody that's available to fill his shoes, otherwise he'd have probably stepped out a long time ago

They can, but they won't, because that means investing money into it and doing actual work instead of selling more maid outfits.

since they most likely will keep forced tankswap for the last fights, you will need 2 tanks 1 healer 5 dps

That's actually a good consideration, we have a lot of so-so players, but our healer's pretty damn great. If I could find a way to reduce incoming damage low enough raidwaid, we could probably handle one healer and a RDM or something.

I'd say so. Seems like all the primal mounts are based on Chinese mythical creatures. We have Kirin, Hou'ou, Kyubi and now this will most likely be a dragon.

The idea behind the job quests this time is that you complete the 5.0 MSQ on the First, and then you return to the Source to find out what your job trainers have been up to while you were gone.

you get af and lv 80 skill after doing the rest

I AM SO FUCKING TIRED OF HEALER GEAR ALL BEING EXACTLY THE SAME. EVERY SINGLE SET IS A GENERIC WHITE ROBE OR LONG DUSTER, EVERY HELMET IS JUST A HOOD OR FAGGOT HAT, ITS ALWAYS COMPLETELY UNINSPIRED

I've worn my Racial starting armor for SEVENTY LEVELS NOW because all the healer gear looks like the same boring fucking trash. Bonewicca is practically the only time Healers were allowed to have actual unique armor and that's because it was Design Contest armor

When you look at the enormous variety in style that tanks and dragoon get and then compare it to the healer armor you know exactly where there priorities lie

We already know it's using aiming gear. Sorry friendo.

The level 80 skill and AF gear is not tied to the job quests. You get all your skills just by leveling this time.

You've got two years to level that DPS but only one chance to experience that MSQ kino. The choice is clear.
