Only if you are desperate, people are mostly overleveled and you will pretty much miss out on the fun of the boss fight and basically skip it.

Are you in an FC?

Dancer don't partner with you because you're a RDM and no one cares about you.

I finally got into the Heavensward content last night, and I can't believe I'm saying this but the 100 sum odd hours of grinding was worth it for that "The Parting Glass" quest cutscene.
I was literally talking to my friend right before I walked into those doors saying, "Man, I dunno, everyone says it gets good once I get to the expansion but it's been kind of a slog. Oh, this room has a cutscene prompt telling me shit is about to go down. I guess I'll be back and tell you how it goes."
I was unironically screaming like a little kid.
The grind was worth it.
I'm sorry for ever doubting you, Yea Forums.

I am, yeah, I can always ask them you're right. But I thought that level syncing was supposed to prevent cheesing of bosses and dungeons?

Higher levels sync down sure but they'll do much more damage than an at level player no matter what. It's more a system put in place to make finding groups quicker not keep the content challenging.

I don't play DNC you cuck.
And no, the times you get partnered in light parties don't count. Stay mad about nothing.

In full parties kiddo. Raids and ex trials baby. Smart players recognize skill when they see it.

Oh, weird. I'd assumed it just flat capped your stats to the max possible to the sync'd level.
So Party Finder is the last resort for MSQ content then? I did Duty Finder for the first part of the crystal tower raid, but it was still a massive bum rush to the finish. Is that just unavoidable with the earlier content?

Heavensward is such a improvement over the vanilla game it's jarring. I almost want to encourage new players to dive in with msq skip directly into HW after seeing how many never got through the chore that was ARR.

>RDM is so far up their own ass they think their job takes any amount of SKILL to play
Stay mad cuck.

Not too far from that.
But I'm talking about the very last quest of the pre Heavensward content.
So you got a minute before you get there and some cool things to look forward to.
But it turns into pure kino in that last stretch.
I'm talking, oh that's an alright very classic style final fantasy story, to, oh this is just one of the best things I've ever seen, in like a finger snap.
If that was just the end to a traditional video game, I'd say it's one of the best endings I've seen in years.

Considering the average XIV player is unable to perform the most basic tasks like reading their traits, actions, or buffs, are prone to play like shit and using RDM's gauge properly looks like some 300 IQ play in comparison.

I guess Bard's are 3000 IQ because they have to keep up their damage over time and use their main songs, maintain their damage over time while making the best use of their off gcd skills use their like three remaining buffs wisely, and deal with mechanics the whole time.

Any amount of skill, even if its the bare minimum is considered "skill", you are mistaking it with "big brain" requirement
And that's pretty stupid how easy BRD players but all the retards can't even keep up a single buff or track their songs

So what you're saying is no class actually requires skill and you're a massive faggot if you actually believe you are at all skilled when playing a class. Gotcha.

I went in knowing people bitched about it but didn't think it was THAT bad. It was noticeably worse than HW but I think if it had followed ARR instead of HW people wouldn't have complained as much.

Well they certainly tried to bring the skill ceiling down some for mass appeal but you have always seen a few types of players, new, lazy and ignorant (which is what I call back players with no intentions on improving). There are a bunch of fun mechanics that try and teach them things like the slime in Copper Bell, Teratotaur in Qarn and Angra Mainyu in The World of Darkness but it ends up exposing the fact many people just don't care enough about something they'll run once in a blue moon for roulettes.

T-this isn't real, right? My friends and I cleared Innocence when I was the only one above 435 (I finished the msq a while before they did, so I had time to get a lot of goetia). I only just hit 447 before reset with eden gear

That sounds about right for an MMO

Redid E2 this week and boy it sure pushes your shit in as a healer when you play with morons.

I've never had this problem. I just ask the DNC to switch partners and they usually do it without question. The ones dancing with bad players are not paying attention or parsing so they just assume you are if you ask them to switch. Of course I only ask in content where dps matters and I host my own parties

Attached: 0.jpg (700x812, 83K)

If DRK was any indication, in a couple weeks.
Good news though, all the other tank players are just as bad!

I blame it on the stupid playerbase who haven't figured out what their rotation is or atleast try to dish some big numbers. I just finished my daily raids an hour or so ago and I was taking the fucking 3rd spot on the aggro line as a DNC with a i430 weapon, while the DRG, SAM and RDM struggled to keep up.

Or the DNCs who don't prepare their dance buffs before the fight starts/forgets to use devilment before technical step etc.

Attached: meem.jpg (1277x713, 146K)

I am too lazy to parse every single piece of content. If it isn't 8-man level 80 content then I just don't care. Fortunately with the removal of diversion etc. the threat meter is actually a decent measure of damage output at this point so after some time I can ensure I'm dancing with the right person

However if I am doing an expert run with a tank friend, I don't care how good you are, he's getting the buff. If that offends you, you will have to go and seethe in a corner somewhere

But my tank friends dumpster most rando DPS players. They'd probably embarrass you too, my frogposting friend.

I'm still new to the game, I finished the MSQ finally some time last week and my first level-capped char is a tank. Had fun with the level 80 dungeons and finally did the normal raids yesterday.

One shot all the bosses, except for Eden Prime which we wiped once on. Just looked up a brief 5 min guide on the boss fights since I was tanking, would have probably gone in blind if I was DPS but I feel more obligated not to fuck up as a tank. I am obviously aware this is not hard content, I haven't done an EX yet and I know there's higher difficulty raids, but how do people fuck up on this game's basic content? I came from a Heroic/Mythic raiding guild in WoW, so I'm pretty good with being patient, criticism and not fucking up more than once or twice to a specific mechanic.

How much harder is Savage/Ult raiding? What's the skill curve like for PVE in this game?

sam and rdm are both shitters yes, but i'm a nin

go try and get some extremes done

if you handle those with ease savage is a comparable step up in difficulty. as for ultimate...

What's a good way to get into EXs? Just waiting for someone recruiting over a general chat?

The step from normal to ex is pretty manageable even if you've never done harder content
In savage most fights are completely different and the difficulty varies but it's usually much much harder than normal
Ultimates are basically superbosses they are extremely long (20 min) fights that are extremely hard basically incomparable to normal. But you gotta clear savage tiers to unlock them so you'll have experience in hard content

Who is this cutie

If you are an ozzie playing in JP then high-end duty finder works well. I got my Innocence clear done in one lockout with 7 complete strangers.
On NA everything is done through party finder instead. Just join "learning" groups. Have fun. NA party finder is cancer.
Study the fight beforehand for the love of God. Don't be one of those dead weight dipshits trying to get carried through everything.

Do you hold his dick too faggot?

I'll happily ditch my friends as DPs for a more suited class, and they understand this.

EX is comparable to heroic
Savage is comparable to mythic
Ultimate is comparable to the hardest bosses like LK 25HC or mythic archimonde

Okay so first off using aggro as a measure of DPS is wrong and bad. Second, although drg and Sam should definitely be far out DPSing you, red mage is pretty much barely higher than dancer on the dps ranking so it's not like it's unusual for a good dancer to be up there with a red mage

dancer quest person

See? Can't you construct that anger into self-improvement so maybe you will be worthwhile as a dance partner? I know tank AoE is pretty tough to overcome, but you can do it if you try, cutie pie.

>Well they certainly tried to bring the skill ceiling down some for mass appeal
user they were NEVER difficult. Sure they're simpler now, but they never required any real skill to begin with.

It's not really that wrong and bad anymore, among the dps absolutely nobody has threat management tools and healing abilities are few and far between so it's a decently useful at-a-glance measure these days

Of course it's helpless for more nuanced things like switching partners.

Also in comparable gear/skill RDM should be blowing DNC out of the water... basically any other DPS would be. That's why DNCfriends get huge boners looking at the shiny new rDPS part of fflogs

Why does this game have so many autistic elitists? Sure some classes are more braindead than others but really all of them are piss easy and if you can’t figure out a class by just reading the skills you’re just a dumbass.

>Also in comparable gear/skill RDM should be blowing DNC out of the water.
Objectively incorrect. Look at the numbers not your feelings. Red Mage is barely above dancer in DPS.

>Okay so first off using aggro as a measure of DPS is wrong and bad.
It's not the best but it will tell you who is doing the most damage after the tanks die.

>red mage is pretty much barely higher than dancer on the dps ranking so it's not like it's unusual for a good dancer to be up there with a red mage
Red mage can hit 11k solo dps, dancer can hit 8.5k.

???? at higher percentiles RDM pulls 1-2k dps ahead

that's 10-20% more ya know?

Attached: 1332054822241.png (560x407, 20K)

What does this have to do with titania?

99% of people playing this game dont parse. They have no direct means of knowing if they picked the best partner, and they dont care in casual content and neither should you.

There's no fucking way dancer caps out at 8.5k i don't buy that for a second

>play support job
>has no way to tell if you're playing correctly
Sounds like a well designed game right there

Not him but I'd imagine he's talking about the DPS check. It's also why I have yet to get an EX clear. I am both assblasted and amused you can't call people out for shit DPS because it means you're running AST and that's reportable lol

No content is difficult enough to matter if you picked the best or worst DPS in the group. Its percentages of percentages difference.

Solo, I wouldn't be surprised with the neutered esprit generation

Personal dps in party setting =/= solo dps

Wait do people actually have DPS issues in titania ex? DPS was never an issue in any party I saw, the problem was always either people dying from the knockback or not stacking for the stack marker immediately after the knockback.

To the vast majority of the players playing "correctly" just means being able to clear the content.

Thanks squeenix..

Most jobs can solo it at 70. I reckon any job could at 80. Save yourself the headache. If you do WT every week, a level cap Red Mage will do you wonders. Mine is currently just level 73 but I can solo all ARR content and a limited amount of HW content (which I expect to go up when I hit 80) so I can usually get an entire 7-9 stickers done by myself

Just relax. Engagement is actually super nice. They are going to fix Reprise, I expect next week. As for the Manafication trait, you may think 10s is nothing, but it completely revolutionizes the job and adds a ton of consistency and power to the RDM kit. It's shocking how much RDM gained from just a 10s cooldown reduction.

Also, the real power additions of ShB are Veraero II and Verthunder II, no need to wait

Just like BLM, then? But blm is acutally the most fun job to play so there's that.

Give it to whichever dps has the highest enmity.

I unironically agree, sure beats wiping with retarded trannies

Good luck getting that to pass or wait for 10-20m for another healer in progress. I know Yea Forums nerds arent cheeky ingame like they are here lmao

Use ACT and give it to the person doing the most damage. That's who you give it to.

Don't play a buffer class if you won't use ACT

Get a parser and use it on whomever does the most dps

You're in for a rough time once you start Stormblood, right back to where you started

DNC is legally allowed to use a parser.

Fuck this shit, I guess I need to go back to tanking.

Just give it to a random DPS unless one asks specifically for it. Don't listen to the parsefags.

I wish there was another caster that requires more thought than RDM, but less constant micromanagement than SMN.
BLM is fun, but playing the same thing too long can get grating.

try playing healer or tank?

As a DPS I haven't got a 15 minute queue time for literally any roulette.

The correct answer is whoever is doing the most damage 99% of the time. If you don't want to parse, then whichever DPS has the most threat is usually a safe bet.

The remaining 1% of the time only matters in ultra-optimized group play. The most important combining factors are the partner's damage output (to make the most of their personal DPS gain) and, basically, the partner's GCD recast (for the Dancer's esprit generation = personal dps). Even factoring in the per-job adjustment to esprit generation, SAM is the best partner for its fast GCDs and excellent damage output. The math wizard DNCs haven't completed the simulations yet - RDM isn't even accounted for - but the current priority is SAM>MNK>DRG>BLM>NIN>SMN>BRD>MCH

What the fuck kind of ultra crack are you smoking? BLM's pickups from 70-80 are insane. Shit, Aspect Mastery alone turns the job on its head.

Try MNK. All single weaving all the time (almost). Also invest in Mudfish. I spent $3 on it like 6 months ago and still haven't used it up yet. It looks sketchy as fuck but that's because it's run by people who suck at English

queues are based on role rather than class

I was doing trial roulette and thats how i ended up in that shit party wiping on titania because I was the only one who could do anydamage
may I add
FUCK the french

Why do baddies get so autistically butthurt over the use of ACT? It literally hurts nobody to play a buffer class correctly with a parser

Which class were you, and which content were you queuing for?

So what? You compete in party spots with other melee dps, even if you're playing monk or ninja.

Try learning how to read

You aren't telling anyone the DPS they are doing or uploading logs or anything, just checking if the person you gave partner to is the best choice. There is literally nothing wrong with using ACT for it's intended reason.

because a lot of people who use ACT are shitheads about it

i find one person micromanaging & dps-policing a group of complete strangers to be far more grating than a whole party of BLMs who never use AoE

I meant role, I'm a healer

Yikes

Keep telling yourself that parsefag.

I cant imagine what obscure shit you're queueing for to get 15 as a healer. Guildhests maybe?

I have not seen anyone do this at all in any of my many extreme primal groups. Literally the only time parsers come up is if someone asks if someone has a parser and how well they did, that's fucking it.

>Being a faggot and policing random people is where it gets bad
Doing 20% of a 4-man group's DPS as a DPS is bad, and the faggot is you, fuck off and stop playing.
If you're not AOEing in a dungeon you're bad and don't deserve to clear.
If you aren't pressing buttons you're bad and don't deserve to go even through Sastasha.
People who hate damage parsing are like fat people who don't like scales.
You're just afraid of the fact that you're expected to perform better so that you don't take time of other people for your own amusement. This is what it means to be playing a social game and fuck modern MMOs for enabling shitter behavior like yours.
It's not even hard to perform decently in this game, the skill floor is next to the dinosaur bones, just press your fucking buttons that light up, and yet majority of the playerbase fail this.
Fuck you and die.

I use mudfish but it doesn't work that well for me, I got down to 210 from 230. I only like DRG though because it's my favourite ff job. I have mnk at 70 and while it was really interesting to play on stormblood, it wasn't aesthetically cool.

What job played well do you like to see most in your parties?

>Explain the clear, obvious majority case in a beginner-friendly and easy way

Because most of the people using them are cancerous dipshits who cant keep to themselves. Theres a reason devs never provide parsers themselves.

Yes but 1) it's not that extreme because the jobs are kinda normalized and 2) even in the most extreme case its a puny-ass personal gain for the DNC and the really important factor is how well the partner utilizes the DNC buffs. SAM & MNK are the go-to partners since they scratch both these itches, MNK in particular goes nuts with Devilment

It's an RNG proc retard.

It's not surprising to me you can't even read.

Standard on pre-pull > Devilment > Technical > Flourish and then go nuts but prioritize Saber Dance and Fan Dance over the rest.

Pre pull, prepare standard, cast Standard finish on pull, weave Devilment, cast Technical finish, weave Flourish, and start using procs.

You fucked up if you're assuming someone is going to do good dps just because they're sam or monk. Again use a parser. Don't fucking buff anyone simply because of the class they play that's dumb as fuck.

For as lackluster a story SB brings to the table the new areas are at least nice to quest through. It was a nice change of pace from the mostly dreary HW for me.

Hell people still wipe to the fate.

Never seen this happen before and I've used pf to clear all savage tiers. People are too scared about being banned. Most I've seen is people saying the total party dps when we wipe from enrage in savage

I'm starting Shadowbringers and the story still feels like nothing but a slog.

See? I knew it. Another dumbass post. If you HAD taken my advice you would have seen a post about how the correct answer is almost always "partner the highest DPS", then the optimal case where there's a priority to consider. I hope you realize why I am so satisfied, you are the one satisfying me

>AST cards buff
>Tank/Melee get Balance, Spear and Arrow
>Healer/Ranged get Bole, Ewer and Spire
I don't get why they did it like this, feels like they just took the cards and separated them in the middle, wouldn't it make more sense to do:
Tank/Melee Bole(since it was always the Tank card), Spear(It's a Melee weapon) and Spire(TP was mostly the Melee resource)
Healer/Ranged Balance(The Sun always made me think of BLM), Arrow(It's a ranged Weapon) and Ewer(Mana is the Mage resource)

Othard areas are nice but the Gyr Abania deserts made me want to kill myself. ShB is a massive step up at least.

why are you playing this game

Get your brain checked. Not only are you sitting here advocating blindly buffing people based on the job they play but you literally posted a priority ranking (with no support behind it besides "muh math guys" might I add). You don't get to turn around and pretend what you really meant was the highest performer after all that.

SB was a letdown but I'll be surprised if there's ever a zone that tops Azim Steppe

Outer La Noscea, Rak'tika, Churning Mists, Azys Lla also excellent

Did you buy a skip potion? Shadowbrigners is a payoff expansion. If you're not long term invested in the characters then its gonna fell shit.

Well, let's just say it's a complicated situation involving friends.

No.

What's the Samurai opener/rotation?
I'm just sort of winging it and still topping dps

Is the Trial a trap? It no where near reflective of what the game is. It'll make people quit more than anything

Get your buffs then John Madden it.

He literally did say 99% of the time it's based on who is doing more damage, it's the first fucking line of his original post and it does matter who does more GCDs, you ger more espirit based on that. I don't understand why you are so mad.

Well, if you though the previous stories were a slog also then you probably just don't like final fantasy/jrpgs. This won't be any different.

I can accept that, I'm not saying it's shit mind you, just that it isn't my thing, but I've seen so many praises about Shadowbringers that I had hoped that even I would be interested.

What do you think the average retards are going to get from that, kiddo? All they're going to hear is "make sure you always buff the samurai and monk"

DNC Partner recc:
ALWAYS

You gain a lot more espirit from melee classes over others. A whole lot more.

Are you just trying to argue for sake of it?

>All they're going to hear is "make sure you always buff the samurai and monk"
You are literally the only one here who heard that.

Whatever the fuck you want

So far I've done Kasha (Ikishoten during the first GCDs) -> Jinpu -> Higanbana (weave Senei) -> Gekko -> Meikyo -> Midare -> Tsubame then continuing from that.
Use Ikishoten, Senei, Tsubame and Meikyo on CD or when party buffs line up (they should anyway since they're all on 60 second cooldowns or multiples of 60)

No, you don't. The pDPS gain from the currently-theorized best esprit-generation partner (NIN) over the worst (SMN) is like 70 DPS @ 6:30. The important consideration is extremely biased towards the partner gaining the most of the %damage and devilment compared to the DNC's pDPS gain. Stop lying. 70 DPS at 6:30 is not "a whole lot more" Esprit

>You are literally the only one here who heard that.
Blatantly false. If this was true then dancers wouldn't be blindly buffing the samurai and monk in 99.999% of pugs where a samurai or monk are present. This is already a common misconception that happens every day

The praise in the context of other MMOs and other Final Fantasy main titles. Comparatively this is exceptionally good, and considered the best FF story in a decade plus.

If you shy away from the FF franchise then you might not find it that exciting.

As for MMOs, no other MMO had so much work put in its story before. Hence why it's getting high praise in that context.

Ah...much better.

Go tell the pug people that instead of us, what the fuck is your problem?

So should every Dancer just assume all Samurais and Monks are retards and partner with tanks?
Would that be more optimal in your retarded little fantasy world?

Okay how stupid are you? Are you incapable of reading?

I'm going to tell anyone who pushes a retarded "priority list". Are you forgetting you LITERALLY posted a priority ranking in plain english for blindly buffing people based on their class. Fuck you're dumb.

And like user said. If you're just now starting you probably haven't even found both Alphinaud and Alisaie yet.

The story is just getting started so don't rule out the possibility that you might like it. The writing and character development is pretty solid.

>Are you incapable of reading?
The irony is pretty dense with you.

For one I am not that guy and 2, he said you should buff on highest DPS as a priority and with everyone doing their best, who benefits you and them the most with your buffs. I really want to know why you are so angry, I see some ulterior motive on why you are mad.

user is in Shadowbringers content.

Wow, that means absolutely fucking nothing. You know who else has been playing one job since the 28th? All the grey parsing dead weight morons you find in Innocence EX pugs. Just find out whoever's doing the most damage and partner them.

You aren't talking to me anymore cutie pie. You are doubling down on the list I posted but how many times do we have to point out to you that I said just a few sentences earlier that the correct answer is virtually always "whoever is doing the most damage?"

Why are you so focused in on this? Will you at least acknowledge my 99% comment to make me feel better?

The E12N fight

I'd wager a guess that that user is a seething RDMcuck.
That or NIN.

My reckoning is he plays BLM and gets furious that nobody partners him. He doesn't accept/realize that it's because he's a subpar player, and so blames these melee-oriented priority lists instead.

Attached: 1509202053273.jpg (1150x1266, 134K)

I mean the start of ShB. He only mention Amh Araeng so I'm assuming he's really early not brought either of them back to the crystarium yet.

Caster main here, the one time a dancer partnered me so far she was right up there with me near the top of the DPS list in the party. Saying dancers get no esprit from us is plain wrong.

In saying that, don't be a fag who expects you to know everything past day 1 and wants you to look up all of the details of the fight before you've even stepped inside it on week 1. But don't join a learning party if you haven't looked anything up unless it's blind.

How good is 9410.88 DPS as a Bard with mostly ilvl 440 gear? First time using this parse shit and no idea what the fuck I'm doing.
Also recommendations what material I should meld on my gear once I get the rest of the Eden gear?

Now this is what I call a shitpost. If I was a subpar player I would know it. I'm literally telling people to use a parser, why in the fuck would you assume I'm a bad player? It makes no sense. I see my DPS. I see your DPS. I know where I stand.

I can only assume that he doesn't get partnered and he is mad his parses aren't as high as others. I see absolutely no other reason why he is as fervent has he is over the idea of a priority list more than anything else.
No one said no espirit but you do get more from faster GCD speed jobs.

>she was right up there with me near the top of the DPS list in the party
Something else was wrong with the party, not the Dancer's esprit generation.

>As for MMOs, no other MMO had so much work put in its story before. Hence why it's getting high praise in that context.
I guess that's it, I'm not exactly a big fan of MMO so I can't exactly compare, and again I might get asked about why I play this game, but as I said, friends man.
That said as long as I have fun in dungeons and shit it's fine.

I did find them, I completed the first dungeon.
Still, it's only the beginning.

What fight?
The user originally said use a parser too but then you went down this weird crusade that makes no sense.

>I'm literally telling people to use a parser
And user was literally saying Dancers should partner with the top DPS, regardless of job.

Who is talking about week 1 here? There's only two EX fights right now and they are way past week 1

It's okay but not great. There are good bard resources available. If you want to commit to autism join the Balance discord and hit up the bard resources channel for guides, gear lists, meld priorities, etc.

You know the irony is that the DNC buff really doesn't contribute that much in the end. Having good luck throughout a fight can be more meaningful. If you NEED DNC buffs to parse purple you are actually just a bad player.

I've been advocating this whole time that while a parser is the way to go, it's not necessary. Enmity is enough to get a pretty good idea of who is doing the most damage, but of course, you'll have to wait until probably a minute into the fight before it's an accurate representation.

Not if she's a dancer worth her hips.

If the DNC buff doesn't contribute that much then why even bring a DNC to anything?

And yet they provided a handy and easy to digest cheat sheet priority ranking for blindly buffing people based on class. Sorry but I understand human behavior and from that perspective it's clear his words would only serve to encourage more blind buffing not less.

You are doing pretty good.

>If this was true then dancers wouldn't be blindly buffing the samurai and monk in 99.999% of pugs where a samurai or monk are present
It's almost like everyone knows that those are high dps jobs, so if they aren't parsing they're likely to choose one of those and hope that they can carry their weight.

There is absolutely no reason to ever bring a DNC to anything.
They're complete garbage and their party buffs don't compensate for their abysmal personal DPS.

I understand that you get hung up on meaningless shit very easily and are a pessimist who thinks people can't read, especially when the most important statement is in the very first sentence.

>dancers get no esprit from us is plain wrong.
The chance to gain esprit for each GCD is different for each job, but that part was left out of the trait description in the english version.

Oh, 9410 on Eden Prime is much better than it looks. That long-ass intermission really tanks everyone's DPS. If you really got 9410 on Eden Prime that's probably a solid 85th percentile. I don't know BRD numbers very well, but my best MNK parse on that fight is a 94th percentile run at 9979. By way of comparsion, 94th MNK on Leviathan is just under 13k.

Well, it contributes enough to make DNC worthwhile. I guess that was badly worded, what I'm trying to get at is that you can still perform around the same level with or without DNC buffs with just a little bit of luck.

Gee, it's almost like parses have no data at the beginning of a duty.
A wild concept, I know.

I want the community to play PvP more.

...

If we are talking big change: A complete overhaul of BLU. Either fully realize the "solo job" part and either buff it to be able to solo everything it has access to, or just balance it for party content.

If we are talking minor change: Make it so that you can set different options for 4 man parties and 8 man parties. I like spell effects in dungeons and other 4 man content, but they get too annoying in 8 mans, and I wish I could turn them off only while in 8 mans.

I'm pretty sure FATE Odin has some level of damage scaling, or maybe % damage (he is Odin, after all). I remember a small group of people trying to take him on at 80 and he completely shitslapped the tanks.

take that back

Fix fucking scholar. Bring back ED at least.

With how divisive Dancer are, is it even worth playing one when I know people either are ok with them or fucking hate them?

I can't say I have enjoyed pvp in MMOs aside from that one interesting mode in SWTOR Huttball. Aion, Black Desert and TESO just never felt fun to me but I certainly am not against improving it for those that do enjoy Frontlines and such.

play your class well and 99,9% will be okay with you
don't listen to the retarded min max parsetrannies

DNC is universally played by retards. Retards are naturally attracted to other retards, so it's no wonder you can outdps the ape they chose to partner every time.

In my experience people with a case of the ass against Dancer aren't jazzed about the idea of a support-job in the first place and were probably railing against Bard in Stormblood.

I've yet to play the expansion, and I've played a lot thorugh the years, got all my classes up to 70. Is Tanking more boring than it used to be? I used to play war. And did they screw up Scholar again? Maining and leveling it wasn't fun in 4.0

Anyone know what's a DRG rotation with the newest patch?

Not having an ogcd dps button hurts. I also sometimes find myself with 1 aetherflow just hanging out before it's time to refresh. Sometimes you just don't have a need or want for it and previously ED solved that issue.

Just don't give a shit about what people think. Play what u want

I mean they do bring up a point about DNC DPS being shit and the buffs they bring being not that great in comparison to the DPS you could do as a good job. I wish I was still ignorant and enjoyed the things I did before this shit came up.

Dancer isn't divisive at all. This thread is supremely autistic, even among FFXIV threads. There's a few guys in here who just really hate Dancer for some reason.

I really enjoyed stance daning with my War, and I still miss the old Cleric Stance, which was a lot of fun using as there was the potetnal to screw up badly.

I have PTSD after playing WoW for so long about these things.

Everyone who isn't a melee shitter fucking hates dancer. Deal with it.

I don't think my RDM is even past lvl55, and you unlock them at 50.

Tanking's better, or if anything they're roughly equal. Stances and associated mechanics are gone so there is no dichotomy between DPS stance and tank stance, and there is no longer a dedicated aggro combo or DPS combo (all tanks pretty much got their DPS combo as their stock 1-2-3 now). Gunbreaker and Paladin are currently championed a lot as the kings of tanks because they're blue DPSes with tanking utility in terms of actual gameplay, Paladin moreso on the utility end and Gunbreaker on the DPS end. DRK is a bit weird but about as good as it was in Stormblood. WAR got shafted a bit, its survivability got back-loaded to Nascent Glint in much later levels and all of their tank-stance self-sustain was removed, ie Inner Beast.
>And did they screw up Scholar again? Maining and leveling it wasn't fun in 4.0
Pets got all their abilities put onto normal scholar/summoner hotbars so you can't use them as permanent oGCDs anymore. Scholar's DPS rotation carried over from Arcanist was dumbed down not as much as complaints would have you believe, really, Arcanist was not complicated and it's more in line with Astrologian and White Mage's. The only real problem I have with how Scholar plays now is there's nothing to do with your aetherflow stacks except overheal a lot of the time.

I want the devs to accept that with the way healing is set up in this game, they have to give healers the same treatment as tanks and consider them as green DPS like how tanks are basically blue DPS. When healers have more than 50% downtime in even endgame content, you shouldn't give them all only one button to press and another every 30 sec when not healing.

He's correct though. You only use 'an' if the word that follows starts with a vowel, which f isn't.

It's the worst decision out of everything they cut. I understand removing bane and stratagem dot snapping if they wanna dumb down the class.

But removing ED means now there is no way to play Scholar optimally now. You always have to overheal at some point, or simply not use your aetherflow stacks. Really no idea how this got through.

>MNK in ivalice raid
Pre anatman MNK feels bad honestly.
>SAM is 54 lvl

The math is there on they they are shit compared to everyone else and they are reliant on a good group to even match anything else with their buffs included.

Bros, it was a while ago now, but I'm still thinking about how I expected Titan to be a boring fight, but out of nowhere his theme was way better than it had any right to be for such a round motherfucker.

Are the other Primal's good in that regard?

Shadowbringers is a slog until you get through the first half, then the build up starts getting massive payoffs and character development is finalized. It's not that much of a slog if you get invested and start trying to piece things together before they are revealed only to pat yourself on the back for getting it right when they are.

Same as it was before. Disembowel won't fall off before you can even perform the move again after Full Thrust/Fang & Claw/Wheeling Thrust though.

I see, but how does aggro in raids and such work then? Do the other tanks have to give away their aggro to the main tank every now and then?

>A hour is correct and an hour is not
Please tell me how many people you have heard say "a hour" and not "an hour".

It's a vowel sound at the start of the following word that determines it, not the vowel itself

Play what you like, surprisingly most of the time people play a class they like better then a class they are forced to play because it's the 'meta'.

FC is an abbreviation, and is pronounced 'ef cee', so 'an' is correct.
For example: AN FBI agent, not A FBI agent.

People don't care nearly as much about classes here. Only autists on forums. If anything, dancer is not worth playing because it's super braindead, not because it's not top dps.

>check my character
>default window is set to eden normal now for some reason

FOR WHAT REASON?

That's a lot of words to say that tanking has become so fucking braindead that you do nothing but press three buttons and an occasional mitigator for tankbusters. Losing enmity is now impossible too and half the role actions got pruned.

Post log

You can Shirk the other tank.
Or the OT can just opt not to be in tank stance.
Provoke still exists.

>duty finder is not viable
since when?
youll get partied with 7 people doing the trial roulette

Be sure to talk in game about how the RDM's parse is better. That will fix your problem.

Usually it's either not an issue (ie Ozma, Thunder God Cid) or they just get up to where they're 2nd/3rd in overall aggro, or 1st in aggro for their alliance, and then flip tank-stance off. Provoke generates a fair amount of enmity now, on top of putting yourself on top of the target's enmity list, so it's a more foolproof way of immediately taking over for MT.
>has become so fucking braindead that you do nothing but press three buttons and an occasional mitigator for tankbusters
So you agree with the sentiment that it's the same as it was before, at worst?
>Losing enmity is now impossible too
Tradeoff for DPSes losing their enmity-management tools.

You were most likely not using the role actions that got pruned.

All primals are good in that regard, it all boils down to which one is your favorite due to presentation and theme.

>being average on fflogs makes you literally a god in party finder pugs
I'm not sure how I feel about this. Why is that?

It could have a lot to do with the time you play and data center. I had no problem finding groups for everything on the way into early Heansward using df on Lamia.

the majority of trials and raid fights have superb themes

Most players are casual.

I'm glad Zenos is back. He is driven to find difficult challenges and end them, because that is where he can feel anything. He lacks true peers. Does this not speal to the Warrior of Light? We have friends, certainly, but within the setting it is implied that the closest thing we have to peers is the group of adventurers we randomly challenge with. If put in similar circumstances of Zenos, would not the Warrior of Light ended up in quite the same way?

This final information allows us to contexualize the actions of Zenos throughout the expansion. I have seen complaints that he was a poor villain because he had no reason to have lost, aside from allowing us to live. I have seen complaints that he is a shallow character. But with those last few scenes? We see that he is a character that is irreedemable, but not simply a mindless villain capable of evil only for evil's sake. He is twisted and mentally ill, his actions driven by loneliness to the point that he feels desire to create a peer. His one moment of true happiness that he wants to enshrine forever? Being defeated in battle; to finally have an equal, somebody who might be able to understand him in the only way to interact with the world that he has ever known.

To me? Those last few lines from Zenos yae Galvus made him a more compelling villain than many within the entire series

you sound gay af lol

Shadowbringers was an excellent streamlining in general for a lot of jobs, it's Stormblood but with meaningless busywork trimmed off. I don't get the people that think tanking was more complicated in Stormblood.

Nobody cares about your personal DPS you cuck, partner the BLM and have their extra damage shit on yours and anyone else you would have given it to.

Pressing more buttons and having more options will always be better than pressing fewer buttons and having fewer options. There was no reason to take away things from tanks, when they managed to actually give more things to DPS jobs and improve them.

>Ramuh
I kind of like the chorus of a thousand Brazilians screaming HUHUHEUHEUHEUHEUEHEUHUE into my ears when the area loads in

Honestly this but unironically.
There's also the added irony that Zenos is functionally immortal now if he so wishes.

Bane was worthless once they added Miasma II or whatever it was.

I've been using Sacred Soil a lot more because of that. Of course, the Regen and mitigation from it makes it so my healing is even less necessary. But at least I don't have to feel bad about having too much Aetherflow usually.

Zenos isn't deep, but he's not shallow, either. I rather like him and his role in the story as our evil equal, down to having an evil Echo and a thing for subsuming primals instead of defeating them.

It's also the most fun.

Yoshi's also a shit-faced liar when it suits him, SAM got a little bit more complicated from not being able to freely manipulate its sens. There's a definite line between SAMs that know how to play it and SAMs that don't.

WAR, PLD, DRG, BLM

Why are you in a FC with trannies?

well that's the thing, your stats and gear are capped at the max possible sync level. But that's still quite a bit higher than most people were running with when the content was current.

Should I just keep grinding the Eden fights not for loot but just to improve my parses?

Yeah, Yoshi was lying. Definitely. The job is not at all easy or feels like it was made for the purpose of being easy like he said.

If you feel like.

>there are people who actually think the removal of Hagakure made SAM simpler
Those people are known as people who haven't actually played SAM.

I was in a Titania group on DRK with 3 dancers. One of them buffed me. I was having the run of my life and d/ced at the end of it. Finished 81st percentile. Kill me.

Complicated in a bad way, because of the clunky rigidity. Previously SAM had been complicated in a good way, i.e. nuanced, because of the flexibility of Hagakure

Who the fuck cares about normal mode parses, just get ready for Savage. Go get some gil to stock up on tinctures and espresso

I'm not sure if WoL would have ended up the same way Zenos did if he were in his position, because Zenos definitely displays psychopathic traits and that is an inborn condition, which most likely was further exacerbated by his privileged background. Or maybe something went a little bit wrong when he was made, because it's all but stated outright that he's genetically engineered.

He wasnt like that 3 years ago. Guess if someone starts IRONICALLY spewing gay trap jokes then its a big red flag

How do I find a hunt LS?

literally for what reason?

A couple horror-stories of Ultimate raiders being trannies blew up alongside the Yea Forums and Yea Forums spillover of obsession with trannies on the internet

Just take the Garland Tools pill

Nearly everyone that play this is game is, it's just easier to notice tryhard ones when you go to a fucking discord about min maxing stuff

That was how it went with my old FC. Was with them for years and they were a pretty good group, welcoming, cracking jokes, running stuff, having a good time. Then slowly more and more fags crept in and some jokes were now off the table, then slowly over a period of months, the fun people left (or were kicked after offending someone) one by one until the leadership changed and it became a full blown LGBT FC where no fun was allowed. I left after that. The slippery slope is real even if it is slow moving.

Because making actual arguments for why it's okay to be shit at video games is harder than just calling everyone you disagree with trannies.

Bard does higher DPS than red mage though. Although a good red mage with dancer buff should still be top DPS but yeah it's not like bard has lower DPS or something

It got us all the first time, but only the first time. Did you not figure it out by looking at the people who weren't dead after that?

The only mechanic in Titan where you're supposed to stand right in front of the boss is Massive Landslide, that does have AoEs covering the arena.
Stay retarded.

They were doing a pretty good job anyway, they did overtake me when I let my DoT's fall off and had to reapply them, but fell behind again.

>>Cinematic starts playing

Landslide does not have a marker until the attack goes out but most people understand what happened after the first landslide.

Shut up, tranny.

I can't believe you would go on the internet and lie like that.

Tanks are often in need in primal, we're back baby.

Personally I like Bard why more then Machinist, although to be fair I haven't given Machinist a fair shot. Sort of fucked around with them then dropped them.

i mean not the reveal since that isn't a big deal but everything else

You telling me the GNB wagon is dead? God bless.

Ranged physical is definitely the easiest. Bard is a bit more difficult of the three at least until you master their actual gameplay but until then you run the risk of tunnel vision by staring at your bars too much. MCH and DNC are definitely the easiest jobs in the game though

Id sell my soul for better facial hair options for all the races. Fucking Cid rocks a nice beard but midlanders stuck with shitty teenager mustache.

I dunno what the point of DNC is. Seems like you could just replace them with a nuker like BLM and you'd get more DPS out of a DNC + Partner. A NIN's trick attack would probably contribute more damage overall + their own damage.

Only shitters read/watch guides for any content inluding Savage and Ultimate. Just make or join PFs, starting with a blind learning party, and don't join PFs that are on sections of the fight past your personal experience.

t. cleared all extremes and savage raids in PF while they were new without ever touching a guide.

You're getting memed on, Crystal is in large part fine. Lower raid-clear rate than the other data centers, more people that aren't interested in anything beyond EX primals. There's still enough Savage raiders and the like that you can squeak out clears if you try enough times. Between Moogle, Faerie and Balmung in my play experience Balmung was the least cancerous.

No. With the amount of shitters in this game, you should be able to hit orange parse with no food buffs, pots, and nin/dnc padding.

No it's shit only 100th percentilers are good

i found a bald male dancer that was fucking awful dude was fucking annoying as hell on Holminster Switch

But NIN always had shit DPS. If you pump NIN's damage high they will remain in every group slot forever

It mean's you're in the top quarter.
It's good, and completely passable, and don't let the parse trannies tell you otherwise.
That doesn't mean there isn't room to improve, since it isn't great, either.

>why can't my job do as much damage as BLM and SAM while giving out as much raid support as NIN and DNC

No it's not good. Strive for consistent 90+, near orange or even tipping into the low oranges.

Most shitters don't upload parses

Could be better, but right now there's a lot of volatility in parses due to gear upgrades, if you just hit 80 and trying to get your Titania weapon while everywhere else has several Eden NM pieces you'll be naturally behind.

Only 100 is good.
