Why is this allowed?

DRG is overtuned, objectively. It has like 100 less personal DPS than fucking SAM and still has its raid buffs.

WHM probably isn't, but it's doing more damage than the tanks right now and it's hurting their egos.

Feels good bros. Where do I get Emet EX? And why are the SHB EX's in the Raid Finder and not the duty finder? Yes, I'm new

That a fat noble character actually turned out to be nice and reasonable made me realize that in for some above average writing

Oh dear. And when are off hours? I'm EST and it's just about midnight but are most NA players central or west coast?

you forgot to dilate

>Where do I get Emet EX?
Final boss EX comes in the X.1 patch, so he'll come out in October. For now there's Innocence and Titania.

That's Sam needing some serious repass on their kit/potencies. Drg rdps according to balance trannies is like 2-500 maybe.

SE does not do nerfs
SE does not do nerfs

Why is a healer doing more damage than my MNK?

God, people are absolute shite at this game. Everytime I see some fag at half hp standing 2 feet away from an asylum or sacred soil or earthly star honestly makes me want to just let them die.

Hades EX won't be out until 5.1 most likely. Relevant raid duties go into raid finder instead of duty finder.

Don't be so upset, maybe you're better than me in another game.

I don't know user, do you only hit 80k dmg every 90 seconds like WHM?

Because you suffer for Lyse's mistakes

Okay but why are the in the Raid Finder? Is it always like that immediately after an expansion drops? Is it any different to the duty finder EX stuff?

Um proofs?

AST balancing will go one of two ways, as it has since its release:
>Remains garbage for most of the expansion until the very end, when they overbuy it into SCH levels of broken
or
>Will get overbuffed at the very start and will remain good for the rest of the expansion

As of right now it's looking like it's on the 3.0 patch, aka the first option. The good news is that the entire player base, JP included, has had a collective "what the fuck" reaction to the healer changes, enough that AST will probably get some much deserved changes by the time 5.05 comes around. The issue is that AST needs a LOT to catch up to WHM/SCH, and they may only get a few changes.

I wouldn't be surprised if come 5.05 the only changes we see are a shorter cooldown on Div, as well as a cooldown reduction on CU/CO, and that's it.

>MNK players will continue to be massive crybabies no matter what gets better or worse
As a monk player I don't even know what SE could do to change it with just number swapping. The class is just the same thing, which is fine if you liked playing monk back in ARR since it's functionally the exact same rotation just with a couple extra button, but it's always been that. Leveling DRG currently and there's so much more shit to do comparatively. Wish monk got shit to spam ogcd that wasn't just forbidden chakra and elixer field over and over. Guess I'm just bored of monk after all this time.

Hey BLMs, can WHMs be your friends this expac?

Attached: Afflatus_Misery_Icon.png (80x80, 18K)

It's certainly possible.
Some of the biggest problems AST has are low potencies and an overly long cooldown & short duration for Divination.
Those are things that can feasibly be fixed in a balance patch

Currently relevant high level content goes in there, I guess to make it seem more daunting so people are more prepared. It's not actually any different.

Yeah because Six Sided Star is FUCKING USELESS seriously, has anyone noticed how Bootshine does more damage than it 90% of the time? Outside of a quick refill of GL, it's useless

Keep at it, just label your PF "blind run" or something. There's still absolute boatloads of people pouring in for the new game.

>>every Ex learning PF requires you to watch "the video" before attempting it
I hate people like this. Seriously, fuck them

If you start a blind learning PF, you'll get takers eventually.

A lot of people prefer to do the EX blind since they're not really that hard.

It's because raid finder plays by different rules than duty finder. You can select options to only queue with people who have already beat the duty, certain learning phases or other shit. It isn't that useful because everyone just uses PF anyways to find what they want. It used to be a long time ago before RF was a thing that everything was in DF, but they decided to separate the ex versions and savage fights because people take them more seriously than normal fights.

Why SB didn't had things like that?

I worry they do something half arsed in 5.01 like potency tweaks on malefic and combust (they shouldn't be that shit in the first place) and won't actually touch any of their poorly tuned long cooldowns till 5.1. By that time the damage is already done in terms of perception of the general populace.

WHM is balanced like BLM.

BLM is tuned to do a fuckton of dps in trade of you move = dps loss so you do slightly more dps than other jobs to take casting into account.
WHM is tuned to do a fuckton of dps in trade of having to use gcds to heal. That's the whole point of afflatus skills being gcd as they're a method for WHM to consume lilies to have less of a dps loss than as if they used medica II or cure III.

That's how you balance jobs that only rely on personal dps.

Also WHM outdpsing tanks is only verified on 99th percentiles, on the 95 and below WHMs are doing less dps than tanks.

Stromblood is filler. Not shit but not HW or ShB.

Honestly pretty fucking ugly. I got the titania one, and good god am I not using it, ever.

Stormblood is a filler expansion (alliance raid is a retread of Final Fantasy Tactics with Final Fantasy XII characters, 8-man is a "greatest hits" of FF5 and FF6 bosses), but it's not actually bad. It's mostly that it has extremely little to do with where Heavensward left off, and it blows over Ala Mhigo so quickly you wonder why they bother.

Stormblood is boring trash and 90% of the events are filler, you can literally skip everything and not miss a single important detail. It only picks up near the end with the Doma story and it stays interesting as long as Lyse isn't on screen.

Stormblood comes down to primarily establishing the prince of autism as it's most important moment, other than that it's pretty fillerish compared to heavensward

monks will cry til they get their PB reduced back to a state where they can do TK autism again while also keeping everything else like leaden fists and SSS or ana-whatever(Redundant at that point, honestly)
They don't want to refine the basics, they want to pretend they're a big brain melee DPS with all this crazy little shit optimization when its still just hitting two major buttons and then playing simon says.

The discipline is fundamentally flawed and whilst it is fun to use it's powerful armament of spells, the negative opinion upon it's announcement has soured the feelings on many who would wish to master it. Therefore, it would have to be nerfed to be removed from it's limited nature, and that too would sour the people who partake of this embodiment of bloodletting currently.
In closing, Square Enix has handled this in a matter of inadequate performance which has damaged the goodwill of their followers and thus would need to listen to both sides who like this magician class now and those who do not if they are to allow it to enter current areas of end game combat.

Most dont want to admit the changes in practice are better than simply reading about them from media tours. There's a reason MNK is currently the best melee job on Innocence, a very anti-melee fight, and it's because of six sided star and being able to juggle between anatman and riddle of earth to maintain stacks during the multiple disconnects. I still wouldnt say the job has found it's niche, but it's better than everyone assumed it would be

To be frank both sides were right but I'm more impressed with the story for bringing this moral conflict to play. The rest was more of the same so I can say this expansion was a very good single player RPG at best but not much of an MMO experience at all. That being said, not many modern MMOs really are proper MMO experiences at all so it goes without saying I suppose.

Those percentages are incredibly misleading. The absolute worst tanks just mash their 123 combo over and over and fuck up all their ogcds and burst timings, the absolute worst healers LITERALLY NEVER DO ANY DAMAGE AT ALL

Also: tanks require a measure of skill to do absolute perfect simulated damage numbers, to do 8k dps as a white mage and outdamage your tank you literally only press 2 buttons.

More damage thank every tank with less barrier of execution is 100% getting nerfed and anyone who thinks otherwise is a brainlet

Being tempered just means he wants to fulfill Zodiark's will. It doesn't mean he doesn't also miss his loved ones and friends, or that he doesn't want to find a successor in mankind.

>The absolute worst tanks just mash their 123 combo
If only you knew how bad things really are.

The following big bads are liable to be on the horizon:

>Hydaelyn
Possible, but seems like they are avoiding the "Turns out the light god is evil too" theme. So far she's done nothing overtly negative and the only problem is she's limp wristed. I could see her electing to intervene more actively and thereby become a bad primal.
>Zodiark
Exceedingly likely. Him or an avatar of his or perhaps Zenos 'eats' him.
>Zenos
Guaranteed.
>The primordial terror that began the original calamity
Very likely. Look at the Ivalice 24 man ending cinematic, with a Garlean legion general finding an Ascian-quality weapon able to 'dig a hole to the earth's very core'

For the last time the first ascian you speak to says it begins with the cacophonous keening. "The sound distorts all living things within earshot, and wrests from us control of our creation magicks. ONCE THAT HAPPENS, all is lost [goes on to describe how 'every dread impulse'' is given life and substance]".

Creation magicks require a conscious concentrated effort as Amaurotine dialogue documents. The chthonic screaming disrupts their ability to control their creation magicks. It is not that being scared makes an Amaurotine unable to control their magicks and thus create whatever comes to mind. Whatever takes control of their creation magicks explicitly causes only dread impulses to appear. Nothing good.

>More turn-ins offering Ice Crystals

I've actually started buying up processed materials because it's often vastly cheaper when you factor in the crystal cost: cloth rolls especially so. The amount of time saved will compensate for the lost experience.

>or that he doesn't want to find a successor in mankind.
It's possible for him to wish to do it, but being tempered would stop him from actually finding one, because it contradicts goal of bringing ifrit/zodiark/whaatever shit back

Shut up you fucking retard. If you want big deeps, play a BLM. Monk was gutted for 5.0 and no amount of crit bootshines will change that. The job hasn't been this unfun since ARR.

Can't have it because of lalaniggers existing. Same reason Alisaie can't hug is, we don't headpat Ryne, we don't catch Y'shtola etc,etc. Lalaniggers and their potato bodies ruin everything

Page 11 of the lorebook, first one.

"With corporeal manifestation complete, a primal can also project its own internal aether upon other weak-minded beings, corrupting their hearts and minds, effectively creating obedient followers. This "Tempering" can prove a primal's greatest weapon [goes on to describe resummoning]". It is not possible to be tempered and to pursue an agenda inimical to the primal. You are not made into a brainwashed mindless drone (unless you were already dumb to begin with), but you are brainwashed into being a loyal acolyte who will further the interests of the primal above all else.

Emet is both tempered by Zodiark but he also has no reason to wish to find a successor in mankind. He's seen nothing to make him optimistic about us. The final cinematic with the masks in the abyss demonstrate his conviction independent of Zodiark. If he fails, if he doesn't complete his mission, everything was for naught. His civilization and his loved ones and friends and family were for naught, all his and their pain and hopes and dreams were pointless. Emet was never going to not seek the rejoinings because he is tempered, and because nothing the WoL or Scions could do would convince him if he wasn't tempered.

Oh for fuck's sake it's this retard again. You have no evidence to justify that, just your own headcanon.

>Emet: "Yeah we're tempered by Zodiark. Zodiark is the eldest of Primals. Again, Zodiark is a primal. Hydaelyn is too."
>You: "WELL ACHSHUALLY YOU'RE NOT TEMPERED THAT"S NOT THE SAME AS TEMPERING BY PRIMALS AND ZODIARK ISN'T RAELLY A PRIMAL HE'S SOMETHING ELSE THAT DOESN'T OPERATE THE WAY PRIMALS DO"

There is zero evidence ingame that the tempering of Zodiark or Hydaelyn operates differently. Your headcanon doesn't fucking matter.

On Elemental I cleared Titania Extreme by just queueing for it for Duty Completion.

Queue popped in around 5 mins as dps and we cleared on second attempt. The extremes are so easy both Inno and Titania are just primarily queued for on JP datacenter instead of using the party finder.

I'm at a point where I intentionally never use ACT because I know I'll just get upset at what I see and I don't want to be any more miserable than I already am

Play a different job and bitch about that instead. You will never be happy with MNK no matter how much they change it. It's impossible to take you seriously when you've been throwing these tantrums for three whole expansions now.

Crit and det are your primary stats for healing. Dhit only helps damage and it's extremely rare to find a piece of gear that already has Crit and Det capped.

Also for the retard who keeps thinking Zodiark doesn't temper and it's just some sincere ideological dispute post-summoning (it was when it was 13 v 1. The minute Zodiark was summoned it ceased to be ideological because he is a primal and this is what primals do).

PLD's AF2 is genuinely pretty close to that

>Very involved
yes, very. Far more than 1212. You'd have to be an absolute fucking brainlet to think otherwise.

You're right about healer changes being what the fuck but the rest of your post is utter fucking bullshit.

Healing between all three healers is roughly equal, SCH healing has basically improved and so has AST healing. AST now has ways to mimic Depolyment tacitcs and even delayed heals to rival WHMs burst heals. In a lot of ways their healing is far more efficient than both SCH who has range issues when it comes to their aoe heals and WHM who is incredibly prone to overheal

The things they need to fix for both AST and SCH are:
>AST
>thew new Draw rotation is absolutely retarded and offers very little reward for all the work you put into it, its basically a worse expanded balance and it gets in the way of your Malefic spam
>just damage buffs doesnt make it feel into a buff class

>SCH which is the more fucked of the two
>No Energy Drain means they don't have anything to spend Aetherflow stacks on, this is the most common complaint and probably the first that should be addressed. You actually have nothing to spend aetherflow stacks on after one excog and sacred soil and usually aetherflow comes back up before you can spend the last stack
>No pet actions, seriously what in the ever loving fuck is up with this? WHY do people even want a summoner that doesn't have pets? It makes no fucking sense, I wish people that defend this would just stop existing
>Deployment tactics range and Catalyze not being spreadable do not mix at all, as it stands Recitation is ONLY worth using on Adloquim, you literally lose heal potency and efficacy everywhere else. Using recitation on anything other than Adloquim is essentially overhealing, using it to not expend aetherflow stacks is also a waste because as it stands now they are plentiful as fuck. Because of this DT is only worth using from the tank, and that means theres no reasonable way to land this on everyone at the right time.

Tldr AST and SCH are really fucked and basically need a revamp.

You could make an argument that Heavensward is filler since the Dragonsong War has nothing to do with Ascians or Garlemald which have always been the main antagonists.

But the Echo grants immunity to tempering and existed at the time of 6he ascians, Emet even makes a snide remark about ours being "borrowed"

We still don't know 100% what the echo is, it might be a naturally occurring phenomenon or a sign someone's soul dates back to Amaurot

How do I SCH in dungeons? During big pulls, I'm just constantly struggling to keep the DPS alive. Lustrate seems like it should be more powerful considering I only get it 3 times a minute (1-2 times with excog being used). And the fairy beam often doesn't seem powerful for how little time I get to have it up.

I'm sure I'm just a scrub, but yeah big pulls are horrible for me right now. Trials and bosses are just fine.

I'll remind you that although 3.1 and onwards focus more on the Ascians, 3.0 dealt solely with the inner troubles of a foreign community, something that could be repeated ad infinitum.

Recitation indom is good in extremes and recitation excog is good in dungeons

After you hit RoF, you double weave BH and FC. Same as always so that's moot. Then you BT, PB, DK, and BT again. There it is. That's your big dmg in RoF mode.

So does that mean you should tornado kick instead of SSS during transitions?

You're immune to tempering because Hydaelyn already tempered you herself.

>Healing between all three healers is roughly equal, SCH healing has basically improved and so has AST healing.

Are you actually retarded? Have you looked at any of the log data from the current trials, let alone played Scholar?

Most of AST's oGCD healing spells are weak, and they have absurdly long cool downs. Scholar's healing got supercharged this expansion, it didn't get worse or "made to match AST."

One of the biggest problems right now with SCH is that because your oGCDs do so much fucking healing, you basically have nothing to spend your Aetherflow stacks on, either forcing you to waste them or use them on blatantly useless over healing

I can't believe you believe something so blatantly wrong. Even look at the difference between CU and Sacred Soil, as well as Indom and Celestial Opposition shows you have no idea what you're talking about.

AST has been dumpstered beyond belief. SCH is just boring. There is no denying this.

You have fey blessing and Indomitability now, theres no need for you to ever use recitation on anything other than Adloquim and MAYBE succor (only because of deployments horrible range).

The Echo protects you from being tempered because you're tempered by Hyeadelyn.

You should NEVER Tornado Kick in shadowbringers unless the boss is below 1%, and even then it's Six Sided Star, Forbidden Chakra (if you have it) and then Tornado Kick for a final burst

This seems more and more likely. Emet freely admitted that Zodiark tempered him and his allies, and it's not like he's a mindless drone.

so you're just going to ignore earlth star, Horoscope, celestial opposition. celestial intersection and also lightspeed? Also you have two charges on essential dignity,
NOT ONLY THAT you're going to ignore the job modifiers that make AST heal for more than SCH but less than WHM.
But no, ASTs healing is neutered.
Literally none of the healers have problems healing this expansion, the game has literally always been WAY to balanced, youre full of fucking shit.

The only problem healers face right now is playing like ass, thats the only objective truth here.

I thought Tk had the higher potency.

So what the fuck is TK for anymore then?

Right there in my post I talk about how SCH's healing is basically improved, but deployment tactics being ass means I'm saying their healing is ass. Wow the reading comprehension

Titania EX only because people struggle with knockback/Vine move. Both are pretty simple

Titania has a floor because you need to learn the mechanics but when you know the fight you're good. Innocence has a ceiling because the entire fight is dodge the bad and it's all a matter of optimization.

Titania ex has like 4 mechanics. It's not that bad.

Titania's mechanics are less obvious at a glance than Innocence, but Innocence is more exacting than Titania.

I thought for sure we were going to get a scene to top Tesleen once we backed Vauthry into a corner, with all the upper deck residents "ascending" into sin eaters. I expected something to top the horror of her transformation since it happened so early, though of course I now realize anything worse would've probably pushed the rating up on the game.

thats part of the problem, the ones that have been alright and able to be entered have never been preferred ones, iv only seen those locked as well. iv only seen the preferred ones im trying to get into locked

user it’s time to stop posting
You have revealed yourself to be nothing more than a brain dead autist who’s trying to get sch buffed even further

I knew from the moment it was brought out that it was probably onions green. But it ended up being onions green with an extra step

My tank is only lvl73 and I've already noticed that WHM is far and away the most comfortable to run with. Big dick heals, instant cast lily spells, Bene, and Holy all make you feel pretty much invincible whereas whenever I run with an AST or a SCH my health is constantly ping ponging and I feel like I'm made of paper.

Thats not even what I'm arguing here you fucking mongoloidal idiot. I never said Scholar had issues healing, infact the fact that they can only pump out healing is the fucking problem because thats literally the only thing they can expend resources on now. I'm not asking for the class to be buffed I'm asking for the class to be fucking fixed in how it plays. I'm even saying the same about AST.

Okay, here's how you fix 5.0 monk.

Add some way to get a free GL stack like old RoW.

SSS resets both GL and form timer, and is an ogcd.

Anatman grants a GL stack on use, cd is reduced.

SSS, outside of times where you actually need it to refresh GL, pretty much exists to make your "boss is jumping away" burst stronger.

Absolutely fucking ridiculous.

What's wrong with WAR? Is it putting out sub-par DPS? I know my bar is looking pretty lame these days compared to gunbreaker, I have jack shit to do, but I don't think that's going to get addressed until 6.0.

They just need to add full DPS rotations to tanks already. Aggro is no longer a concern, and as long as we can pop cooldowns for tankbusters, there's no reason we should play any different from a DPS.

>look mom I listed abilities, those abilities might be trash and worthless but I listed them so please listen to me.

I absolutely adore that we finally get to see the Scions as characters this expansion instead of the ones that aren't Alisaie/Alphinaud appearing for five minute stretches.

I was wondering how the fuck they were going to implement that storyline but the Amaurotines have solved that problem handily

I noticed he didn't have any pants on under his skirt when he was knocked down.

Does he even have underwear?

I'm assuming going north would make the add phase a bit easier?

correct. the job already has enough buttons and more passives would make it stronger than it already is.

SO we all talk about the new skills, but waht do you guys think of the new traits? I like the new enhanced manification RDM gets.

DNC and GNB get little to nothing in between 70-80 kinda weird how all of their shit is spaced out.

why wasnt the the HW mount? this doesnt make any sense

looks like he's about to kill that kid

With Garlond Ironworks managing to reverse-engineer fucking Alexander and Omega I bet the alliance-raid is related to the bad-future that the Crystal Exarch comes from.

Why is it always the Scholar mains who are the most insufferable and obnoxious to deal with?

You'd think being overpowered for six years straight would be enough to satiate them, but here they are, asking for buffs when they're at the top of the chart, again.

Was there anything in the WAR 80 quest? PLD's quest was "LITERALLY NOTHING" again, which I'm pretty sure is a running joke at this point, but Aldis wetting himself for being one expac behind was kind of funny.

72-76 is kinda weird for DNC and GNB. 72 surprised me most of all for GNB since an AoE cartridge-spender struck me as something you'd start off with or get low-level.

They are asking for a buff so they aren't literally healing someone that is at 100% health because there's no other option.

I genuinely have trouble going back to Jump in older content after the trait that upgrades it to High Jump, it's just so goddamned slow in comparison.

Johann is a faggot

Are you saying you hated the original WoD questline?

I can see it. They needed to prove that they're advanced in order to open up the CT.

Feels like shit even if you can doubleweave. Basically a trick attack bot with subpar dps. I enjoy it but it's very unrewarding right now

yet every other echo user that doesn't have the blessing is immune to tempering.

It is, you and many others in this thread are fighting over an incredible trivial difference and ignoring the actual problem.
I wouldn't care less if they overbuffed AST healing to the point where it outdoes SCH in shields and WHM in regens again, I'd rather them fucking fix their buffs, just like how I want SCH to be a pet class again.

You have a good point, but that seems to be a case of us not having enough information about the echo. Because we have the word of god himself saying
>He tempered us
>[We] came to exist solely to bring about the rule of darkness. His darkness.

Emet never lies, he just withholds truth. And that the Ascians were tempered and exist solely to bring about his (Zodiark's) will is indisputable. We know it is true. The question then becomes what the original dialogue was and from whom regarding the echo. If it was the scions making a deduction then they are clearly wrong and, as I seem to recall one of the ascians saying, the WoL et al have no idea about the true power of the echo. If an ascian said "An echo keeps you from being tempered" then this contradicts Emet and it complicates things but I'd still give seniority to Emet's remarks given it's more recent and it's from a higher authority.

This thought right here is conjectural, but perhaps the echo is not binary. An echo may just not work against the mighty of a supreme primal - as Emet says, "It was only natural, there is no resisting such power". Maybe the echo is resistance rather than immunity. Or the ascians received the echo after their tempering. Really I think the simplest solution is that Zodiark gave the Ascians an echo.

I tend to agree with the other anons that Hydaelyn likely tempered you, given you are the soul of the 14th councilmember who went and summoned Hydaelyn. At best she might be so withdrawn as to avoid tempering more the way Ramuh was, but I don't want to be an apologist for her. I'm on the team of the ancient antediluvian horror of the first calamity anyway.

WHEN TITANIA DOES HER "IM SICK OF THIS CASTLE" LINE, DOESNT IT SOUND LIKE HER ENGLISH VA?

The trait SAM gets that reduces iaijutsu cast time by 0.3s seems redundant. I mean I get that its to make their double iaijutsu feel better but they should have just made that the default iaijutsu timer and give them another passive like an upgraded seigan or direct crit/direct hits reduce the cooldown of meikyo shisui by 2s.

>All healers are roughly equal
but also
>Scholars can't stop overhealing everyone, yet the exact opposite is occurring on AST
Pick one.
You are desperately trying to paint a worse picture for SCH than what is the reality and it is sad. Just give it up, your autism has the best of you.

He's wearing spats underneath. Yes, I checked.

youtube.com/watch?v=XaOsX-vwKLw

Enhanced Requiescat or w/e that makes it Instant Cast is a fucking Godsend. Doing content without it feels absolutely terrible now.

I think the echo is a side effect or benefit of being tempered by Hydaelyn.

And I think they all have the blessing (aside from maybe Fordola and Zenos who have artificial echos). You are just the strongest of Hydaelyn's blessed. Arenvald isn't on your level and Krile can barely even fight.

literally they all look like gay ass keyblades because they hold them the same way
it's the worst part about the class

I need to hear Titania again.

Zenos hypothesized that the Echo doesn't necessarily grant you immunity to tempering, but grants you naturally indomitable willpower and that you can use that willpower to reverse the tempering.

What makes DRG so fun according to you guys?

>Creates more ogcds
uuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhh

After running the Twinning a few times I'm kind of amazed how bad some people are at the game. 2 IQ dancers running after me like lonely puppies cleaving both of us with every mechanic available gets old fast

I would just increase its cooldown to 3 minutes and let it spread catalyze so you can negate two or three aoe damage mechanics per fight. 5 minutes if people whine that much about it, the only important thing here is that you can actually use it when it matters and not for those unavoidable AOE mid-boss phases that you fully heal with a cure3 or some shit anyway.

Pet actions need to return, its retarded that every fairy ability is an ogcd now.

If not energy drain, then at least give sch something to spend stacks on that isn't more overhealing. There was an autist earlier in the thread complaining about Scholar having supercharged healing, well...theres your fucking problem. Being able to dish out more potency than other classes is one thing, but thats completely irrelevant to the bigger picture when the game is still basically about healing as little as possible.

Did I hate the banality of a stale mirror universe evil hero plot as stilted as they come? Yes.

No let me tell you what your trying to say
>I don't like SCH
It's not because it's bad or broken or flawed it's because you don't like it. I don't like DRG, not because it's bad but just because it isn't for me and that's fucking fine, stop trying pass off your opinion like there is a fundamental problem with scholar.

You people claiming the Echo is tempering are forgetting some very simple things.
>Ysayle had the Echo and the Blessing, and took actions detrimental to Hydaelyn.
>Ardbert had the Echo and the Blessing, and took actions detrimental to Hydaelyn.

I love the way Titania and Feo's voices change for their mood. It just seals the deal of the mercurial and capricious faefolk. Playful and seductive one moment, innocent and childlike the next then suddenly furious and vengeful.

Oh shit that's a great idea. What would be a perfect thing for a future of perpetual war? Combat Androids.

Awesome, do you recall where he said that? That would be the perfect answer. It makes sense given some of those we've seen with the echo - Ysale and the WoL at least. And the lorebook said the tempering process is a case of willpower vs willpower, not some magic abra-cadabra which is unavoidable. It's just that the willpower of most beings is insufficient against the might of a primal. And a mightier primal has a harder to resist will, but a mightier human has a harder to convert will.

Jump.

Well you are entitled to your opinion that ignores the fact that the game pretty quickly showed that they were more than just evil universe counterparts of you, and not really even evil when it came down to it, just desperate..

But yeah, you can have your opinion.

I'm saying SCH plays like ass, and it does because you have to overheal to play it right.

YOU'RE COMPLAINING about not being able to overheal on AST and actually having to use your resources appropriately. I already said it earlier but I don't fucking care if they overbuffs AST's healing to the point where its actually unbalanced, I just want them to fix their buffs.

Blame Squall in Dissidia, mostly since it's the only way to hold a weapon like that and still look "cool".

Right before the Shinryu fight when he puts that hypothesis to the test

SB is probably the weakest expansion, though it feels like they tried to put more into it than HW content wise. It's just the story isn't very compelling due to the split between AM and Doma, Doma feels like an expansion cut short, AM is literally a handful of quests, solo duties, two dungeons, and two trials, all coming rapid fire, with no real time spent on anything, and the zones are essentially all badlands style only better than the Ruby Sea, which is 90% water.

Doma or AM alone should've been the entire expansion, as it is, we've got pieces of both that aren't complete. Complaints aside though, it does have some high notes, generally all the trials are good (I'd say Susano and Lakshmi are better than the current expansion's trials ignoring the story leading to them, Shinryu and Tsukuyomi are both incredibly fun, and the four lords were all good fights), Ivalice Raids were some of the best 24 mans yet, and Omega had fun fights that occasionally get shit for being nostalgia pandering but had great fights outside of all the v2 ones (Catastrophe, Chadrnook, and Midgar were all bland).

I specifically made a PF for Titania earlier today that had Blind run, no video needed in the title and got a full group of happy people to do it with in the span of five minutes. It was great because everyone spent the time learning and we progressed further each attempt until we kept failing the DPS check on the adds pt2.

>people hate AST and SCH changes
>the most hated changes are sch
>healer instant queues are now actually a thing
>no there isn't a problem
Autism

There is no trivial difference; you are masquerading around the idea that SCH and AST are equal in terms of total healing throughput without any actual substance to back it up.

If you look at FFlogs and actual healing numbers, AST does not contribute nearly as much as SCH does in terms of healing. Bringing an AST right now is not optimal because after you burn through all of AST's tools, the SCH needs to start picking up the slack.

As of right now, because AST's healing is completely free on its oGCDs, whereas SCH loses 80 potency every time they are forced to weave with Ruin II, you force the SCH to give up potency loss and trade WHM's strong healing and DPS capabilities for AST's weaker and more feeble ones.

Because SCH's healing is so absurdly strong right now, you have no reason not to bring them in literally any instance. Indom was good before, but with new Sacred Soil, Recitation allowing for free resources and crit, and Seraph being as stupidly good as she is with shit like double consolation, SCH absolutely trumps AST in total healing output. This is undeniable.

Your entire post and argument relies solely on conjecture. You were literally just tossing out the names of AST's new abilities as an "argument." You literally have no idea what you're talking about.

Does SCH need an AF dump? Absolutely. It is clunky to play right now. But that's all it needs, and to insinuate that its healing is somehow "equal with AST" is a severe indication you either don't understand how SCH functions, how AST functions, or both.

Ultimately everything Ardbert did led to the First be saved from the Light, which averted the 8th calamity. So that worked in Hydaelyn's favor since her whole purpose is keeping Zodiark locked away.

I'm attacking extremely quickly and almost constantly between my 1-4-5-6-7-1-2-3-7-6 combo, Jumps, Mirage Dives procced by Jump, Geirskogul, Nastrond, and Stardiver, and with Shadowbringers I hit like a fucking truck to boot. Also now Life Surge makes ALL hits of AoE attacks like Doom Spike or Coerthan Torment restore HP and crit, instead of Stormblood where only the first enemy hit by the attack received a critical hit and lifedrain.

I dislike it but I can see why people would like it. There's gotta be something super satisfying about just lining up all your buttons perfectly and having the right tools to run anything while bouncing around. Playing other melees is a battle adjusting to every fight, but DRGs are eternally rewarded for being patient enough to put up with the awful leveling experience and basic rotation.

I am leveling up right now, just hit level 40 on black mage and I am wondering if I need to do the levemate quests. So far I am just leaving them alone, but are they necessary? How many side quests should I do?

And it needs its pet actions back.

Dude the artwork they used holding their weapon on the shoulder was better. Really pissed that wasn't our stance.

You only need to worry over them if you're missing EXP to do the main story quests. They're irrelevant for combat classes otherwise.

The only things I remember from that whole arc was Urianger showing up and helping you kick the shit out of the evil power rangers, who quickly get dismissed by every other plot thread. I will concede they had potential only so far as SB's writing drew from them. That in itself I consider a GREAT accomplishment, both as prose and a game element.

enjoy your 0.05 increase bro. they nerfed skill speed.

Leves are generally more for crafters and gatherers (especially gatherers). After 50 i don't think there are even any combat leves again.

Generally only do combat leves if you hit a wall and need to level up. But if you focus on one class for MSQ, you should never reach a roadblock where you can't continue the story.

it won't be the final score until there's like 20+ reviews

What a retard i would have literally considered his position if he hadn't fucked me over and called me shit to my face.

>that awkward feeling when you meet an npc with the same name as you

Will it beat OOT

You are actually retarded if you actually think you don't need to overheal. THe things you can spend AF on are all healing abilities and only two can feasibly be used without overhealing, both on cooldowns. If you're not using aetherflow on cooldown, thats MP loss and also meter loss. If you use it with Stacks still on your bar thats a loss of stacks.Theres no way you can use three sacred soils before AF is up again, so you're forced to use excog, and yes thats overhealing.

Well there was nothing for you to consider in his mind considering your soul wasn't strong enough to hold all the light aether.

If you had had a proper ascian soul, you could have done it. But since you don't, he considered you subhuman

Any other PLDs dropping Goring Blade for a split second during your physical combos? Either due to me being shit and losing some small time somewhere or due to being an East Coast fag, Goring drops off for like a split second every time. As in I can start the animation for Goring Blade before it falls off, but it doesn't refresh/reapply until the old one's icon is actually off. I don't remember having this issue in SB so I was wondering if some odd shit changed I wasn't aware of, or if I really just need to step my focus up.

If you weren't using those stacks anyways then they're not actually wasted, stop eating paint chips and keep your hands off your Aetherflow abilities unless you actually need to heal.

Use sacred soil on cooldown, there's 2 stacks gone.

Hydaelyn literally orders us to think for ourselves when starting a new game. Hear.. feel... th... yada yada

Ysayles actions lead the WoL to Midgardsormr, ending the dragonsong war and sacrificed herself to save Wol. Arbard and co killed the Ascien of the 1st, allowed minfilia to go to the 1st and eventually merge with the wol and kill Emet.

So you actually think not having 6 stacks for moments when you think you will need them isn't important? Or better yet the ability to actually hold on to your stacks for when you need them instead of using them on abilitys on cooldown? These are the autists that are saying they are good at the game, fantastic.

How many times do people find genuinely bad tanks like that guy?

That explanation only works if Hydaelyn can see the future

I got continuation down to 27s, don't give a shit. feels good man.

Been having the same shit, I blame server ticks shitting themselves

I've noticed Tank Stance turning off when entering instances lately. I'll usually notice it during the first pull and I've gotten to checking it, but it seems to be off about 50% of the time I load in to a duty now and I don't know why.

30s cooldown, so its more efficient to spend the last stack on lustrate overheal.

The prince of the spectrum is absolutely terrible though, he's a lame character that's just an excuse to give us a good fight. We could've had a ruler like Gaius who was as much a statesman and excelled in actually running the occupied territory well enough that even Ala Mhigans started to agree with imperial rule and fight back against us, instead we just got an indifferent dictator and his subordinates that only exist to cause as much suffering as possible instead of furthering the empire.

Leading up to SB, it was suggested we were going to see imperial rule in a different light than whips and indentured servitude, either something changed at the last minute or it was a lie.

It turns off if you enter a dungeon that is a different level than you.

That actually makes sense. Thanks user.
