FFXIV SHADOWBRINGERS

depends, if you do all your roulettes daily and spend practically all of your poetics towards it, probably, for the umbrite step, you can use gatherer/crafter scrips as a fast way to get crystal sand

>tfw got Miner to 80 in anticipation for Ishgard content
I really hope I don't need a crafter at 80, I can put up with gathering, crafting just fucking annoys me, I only got CUL to 70 because the Nemazu tribes gave great exp

God I'm so fucking sick of people who can't do basic mechanics and having to rotate in new people and re-explain everything just to have them also fail to do basic mechanics.

I really wish they'd change previous-expansion special weapon shit like the umbrites to be marketable. I have more gil than time, let me shovel a pile of that shit into someone else's face so I get get my cosmetic crap without wanting to swallow my tongue in the process.

Hope you enjoy your shitty grass floor texture EVERYWHERE you look.

I'm leveling all of my DoH/DoL now that I'm all caught up on MSQ. I got em all to 50 before ShB dropped and I just got my Miner to 60. Gonna start on my Botanist tomorrow.

Do I need any big boy gear to hit Eden, or can I go with the relic gear I got from the story? I know EX I should have big boy gear.

I know that stone of heart is really good but how am I supposed to use it on others? Like, do I just shoot it on the healer before a room wide AoE, or use it on myself always no matter what? I feel like I’m supposed to use it on people about to get hit by something hard but it o mu lasts 7 seconds so I feel like it really only blocks one attack. I’m just really underwhelmed with the skill when it comes to anything except personal mitigation.

Also fuck Superbolide

Just went from level 1 to about level 11 with all gathering and crafting classes today, used up about 90 levequests.

I want them to cut the potencies on SCH's burst healing. If I'm not going to get to do damage anymore, at least make keeping all the other retards in the party alive vaguely challenging.

Relic gear with Ronka accessories is good enough.

Bought the starter edition and the autistic amount of msq made me stop playing this.

You're almost at the half-way point.
The last half of ARR is brutal though, be warned.

But Stormblood exists...

No, you've missed the boat on that one.

Hold fast until you get to Heavensward. It DOES get better.

I got my Titty ex clear and weapon on the second week the xpack was out and have nothing to do until 5.05. I redecorated my house and am leveling alts.

What grind? This game has no end game content

it's just a bunch of repeating patterns and long stretches of pressing one button

I did one recently, main scenario roullettes everyday for a week. Spend poes on umbrite only. Old beast tribes daily for unidentified items. 3 levelling roulettes a week for Singing Cluster.
Not sure about crystal sand and GC items cause I have unlimited supply of those but that's basically it.
Level 80 for quick unsync runs through trials/dungeons.

I wish they'd also add autistic MMO grind content. I kind of hope we get Eureka 2.0 this expansion, for that reason.

Currently leveling Blue Mage but because every guide out there is either saying "fate grind" or "Join my FC" and shit, Ive hit a brick wall at level 20. I have no side quests to do at this level cause I never saved those and every "fate grind" group out there is at the endgame area and since almost all user created pug groups don't really accept blue mages I'm now essentially forced to grind mobs that are either too low leveled or too high level till level 50.

I like my class so far and I'm wondering if I should take it to 80, but I'm kinda stalling out in my leveling pace. Haven't really leveled any crafting or gathering but cooking and fishing is really comfy.

What should I be doing to get to funner content? I'm finally enjoying 50s dungeons but the level and ilvl seems to go slot slower after 50

SB was boring but not actively shit outside of "gather SHIT for Lyse"

I've got ARM to 80 and BSM to 79, Most of the shit I can make doesn't have that big of a profit and the time invested to get all the mats myself isn't worth it.

This whole storybook segment felt way too good for this expansion.

There should be more you can do with Dark Arts, especially since you get more of it than you'll ever need to keep your buffs up.
Maybe it could provide alternate effects for select moves. I know, it sounds crazy, but I believe it just might work.
Also it needs to make an obnoxious but iconic noise and it needs to do it all the time.

Forgot about RDM, didn't think about it since I just assume they cast and never slash.

you absolutely wasted those levequests. If you do it right and submit HQ items you could have gotten to 50 with that many levequests.

whoa..................

I don't get why everyone says Heavensward is amazing. I just finished it and although the final cutscene was pretty cool before the final boss, it was just meh.
Every character was very one dimensional and your generic "i want to save everyone because im just that pure" or "im an edgelord who's going to destroy the world because im overreacting". The only character that escaped this fate and was somewhat complex was the Pope himself but he barely gets any screentime.

Then you have stupid as fuck cutscene writing a lot of times. Like that moment later on where you're facing the Imperial general Regula and his squad, and it's you, Alphinaud, Y'Shtola and Estinien. In the cutscene he escapes, and Estinien says "damn it!", expressing regret at his powerlessness to stop him from escaping, except the guy literally just did a 180º and walked away. Estinien literally jumped 100ft in the air, landed on a dragon's head and 1 shot him earlier on in the campaign. He would've stopped that guy from running if he wanted.

The game has 0 consistency in its writing. I hope shadowbringers is better.

How about you release more content, then I wouldnt have so much free time to make glamours.

There's a reason the only thing they could cite was "muh haurchefant". The climax was typical "you're a BADASS hero" tripe as well. I'll never get what's the big deal about HW. It peaked slightly at The Vault, but that's it.

Shadowbringers was slightly less awkward to digest because it committed to the "good side is good, bad side is bad" idea (although you may find this boring) instead of wasting time portraying both sides as insufferable cunts and still forcing you to side with one.

Characters being intentionally retarded at the most convenient time is unfortunately a common tactic to drag out writing. You'll continue to see this in every Shadowbringers NPC deaths.

>lvl 80 DoL gear is a cool longcoat with a scarf and really nifty looking gloves and boots

I wish you could at least glamour the fucking set, I get not being able to wear it but for fucks sake, this is the most annoying thing and their solution is to just make the same fucking set but tick the box to "all classes" this glamour system sucks ass

Jizzabel

you have a long way to go im level 46 PLD atm but dont give up user keep pushing through

You said you like female sword users and RDM's aesthetic is more feminine. They're also themed around dueling. In the lore they're called Crimson Duelists, their AF set is called the Duelist set, and their sword attacks are named after real life swordplay moves.

you're only correct about azys lla. unfortunately it's underused and completely overshadowed by the fag war.

Put your Return point in Limsa Lominsa. That way you can teleport there for free and then ride the ferry by the Arcanist's Guild to Vesper Bay for 40 gil instead of paying out the nose to teleport to Horizon from wherever you are.
You're gonna go to Vesper Bay a lot. A lot a lot, and this way you'll save a whole bunch of gil.

Azys Lla sucked as a zone. Gave good lore tidbits for Allagan stuff, but sucked to travel through. The only good part about Azys Lla during the MSQ was the part with Tiamat and Midgardsormr.

Hroths are neat but I don't like their animations at all.

I wish i had known this. Thank god for the rising stones thoe

Worst part of Azys Lla is that it's completely forgotten about after Thordan except for Warring Triad and the relic.

Get a friend to help you. What you do is your stay unpartied, go to the wine port castrum and just aggro imperials. Your high level friend kills them, ez XP. Takes like an hour to get to 50 or something.

>the shitter that dies multiple times during a fight and does absolute balls for DPS rolls highest on the drop

Is there any worse feeling? I wish they would implement some kind of feature that locks you out from rolling on things if you die a certain amount of times during a trial or something but I know people would lose their minds.

Have a nearby pillow to scream into as you trudge through ARR.

We found a new guy for our EX/Savage group, we only need two extra DPS now. I have found nothing but tanks and healers wanting to join us when we really just need DPS.

We took the guy to Titania and he proceeded to shit out damage, it was great. Three back to back runs and only one wipe inbetween them all because we failed the DPS check at 2%. Only thing I need to do now this week is grind up tons of mats for crafting Tuesday.

Do what this user said Or you can get Thousand Needles and Acorn Bomb and use them together to kill like 10 things at once.

Nah. When you have multiple tanks you'll either get three tanks fighting eachother or no tanks at all. Tis the way of things and has been since time immemorial.

Why are you here fishing for softcore twitter porn instead of archiving your sadpanda favorites?

It's fine I'll deal with it again in 2 weeks when it's back at 100.

Honestly I don't give a fuck as long as they take it and stay alive, I'd rather tanks that actually do their job instead of bitch and moan when the other tanks die saying "I don't wanna MT".
Fuck off faggots, queue as something else if you're too much of a wimp to atleast pick up the damn boss.

Until SHB it was starting to become an eyeroll whenever everything of import was either
>It's Allag.
>It's Ascians.
>It's both.

Even the fucking Xaela suicide booth was an Allagan shield generator. While I love the Xaela getting dabbed on it's taking a lot of romance and mystery out of the lore for everything to just be fucking Allagan. So while Azys Lla was neat to learn about the Allagans, I had no real emotional connection to the content except for what you mentioned with Tiamat and Midgardsormr. Someone might take shit with the idea of needing that emotional connection but it's the same reason the lost civilization of Mohenjo Daro has no pull on people the way Babylonia or Sumer does.

Makes me sad they shot their arrow early with the emperor Xande(?) in the Crystal Tower. I wouldn't have minded an expansion all about Allag, say maybe in Meracydia with some ruins of their forward settlements/crashed floating cities and fortresses. Give us more of a connection to the concept of the lost civilization like we got in Crystal Tower.

I just thousand needle grinded on mobs a few levels higher than me until that stopped working, and then I literally just killed shit in northern Thanlan until I hit 50. No tricks, you just get tons of exp for killing world mobs, takes very little time but is boring as sin.

This is exactly how everyone should play the game.

I completely agree. Nidhogg falls flat. There's no background to him or reason given for the player to care. His motivation is pretty stupid as well.
I think both could have been rectified if Nidhogg started out as a friendly dragon and we actually got to experience either the or another betrayal. That'd make it a lot easier to relate to Nidhogg and make the player have a connection to him and a reason to care.
As it was done you're just saving a city from an edgelord because the devs tell you to.

You're not supposed to sympathize with Nidhogg you retard. He's an irredeemable psychopath who only didn't end the war a thousand years ago because he decided it would be more fun to keep them alive and torture their descendants for eternity. Your reason for caring is to save Ishgard and the friends you've made.

Ishgard housing is almost certainly coming with Restoration of the Holy See of Ishgard. I'm really hoping they're going to make a new form of instanced housing, so that all the homeless can finally stop bitching.

Still space for 2 more.

I would be surprised if you needed to be higher than 70 to do it. Usually this sort of thing is used as a means to level.

I mean sympathise in terms of establishing some connection you retard. Nidhogg is literally irrelevant to the player character. He has no connection to you and the pc has no reason to care about him other than "He might invade our cities next" which doesn't fucking work.

The Dotharl believe that to stop being reincarnated they have to kill themselves at the House of the Crooked Coin. There's a sidequest where you help a depressed girl cross the Steppe there, and when you return without her, her friend said she didn't want to keep being reincarnated because tragedy happened in every life.

That structure in the far north, remember the sidequest of that Xaela girl who wanted to be escorted there and then threw herself to join her dead family?

Got Dancer to lv80 July 2nd.
Im now a ilv447 Dancer.

All BiS stuff from the balance. Im ready for tuesday when savage comes.

The House of Crooked Coin. Xaela are said to reincarnate every time they die but if they fall into the giant hole there they break the cycle of reincarnation and die permanently. You help escort a girl there and when you get back you find out she went there to kill herself.

In the loosest definition, yes

The Dotharl were using that big allagn device in the steppes to permakill themselves. The idea that it completely dissolves their aether was believed to be enough to halt the reincarnation cycle. You help a NPC get there in a sidequest and then she an hero's off camera

You'd be right if the player was the MC of heavensward which it isn't. We were the MC of ARR, everyone was sucking our dick at the end of it. For HW and beyond they changed the narrative to make the plot revolve around a NPC instead of us.

HW MC was alphinaud and estinien, SB MC was lyse and ShB MC was ryne. We're only the MC because we're the player, it doesn't mean every story revolved around us.

Bard detected.

>No backstory

We're given the backstory of how his sister is treacherously slain by Thordan's knights for her magical eye and Nidhogg is blinded. That his brother Hraesvalgr loaned Nidhogg an eye and then fucked off in solitude and sorrow at the sins of man given his soul was entwined with lady Shiva. And likely was still fuming from the brutality of man in Allag to Dragonkind given Bahamut was busy listening to his dragon brood being aetherially raped in perpetuity to keep him summoned. And then Estinien is your conduit to Nidhogg (along with Ishgard). Estinien offers a mortal reflection of Nidhogg and the cycle of revenge and reprisal. Nidhogg threatened Ishgard, the city that welcomed you and Alphinaud and Tataru as you fled with nothing more than the clothes on your back. The noble house Fortemps which treated you as a guest and downright adopted son when previously you'd been nothing more than the errand boy of light. Or the bond you developed with Estinien (particularly so if you leveled up Dragoon and had that prior connection with him).

If you replace Nidhogg with another random dragon but keep all the variables then you have a rose by any other name because the factors stay the same, which is what is important.

That said, apparently the level 80 DRG quest dramatically changes Nidhogg. I haven't seen it yet.

Do you reckon they'll add more housing wards when they release Ishgard?

I'm not the guy you replied to. What I'm saying is that raid buffs aren't that good for progression, most DNCs on statics will be people that play other jobs that swap to dancer to pad someones parse, not DNC mains.

BRD is high enough that they're viable, and MCH.

Keeping convincing yourself not to leave WoW.

Generals belong on

if anything, BRD and DNC will both get snubbed for MCH.

The solution to housing is simply to get more houses flowing through the market. We have a compounded issue where due to housing so rarely going on sale, no one wants to relinquish their housing since getting it back is next to impossible. If people could reliably (As much as possible, that is) bid on housing and get back into the market after a hiatus, they wouldn't feel like they have to hold housing in a death grip.

That being said though, the reason why housing is so desirable is because it's something that's literally not available to every player at any given moment. Sure, you could always work to get into the housing market no matter who you are, but not every player at any given time will own a house because there's only a max of 4320 houses available on any server. If housing was made into an instance, the desire for housing would drop considerably since it wouldn't be something players could hold over each other.

>they'll probably just make Ishgard housing
They never said ishgard would have a housing.

If DNC were better in any way people would be bringing them. Their total DPS with buffs included is too low, and BRD/MCH bring all the same other utility. Granted, theres a high chance they might buff DNC with this coming patch.

The other thing to do would be to make new housing zones as rewards for something rather than something you buy into. A PvP Housing zone with, say, 60 houses per server, with said houses handed out to the top ranking players during the feast every season, would be a great start since to get a house, you only have to rank in the feast, something available on rotation. Sure, if you don't place the same the next season, you lose your house, but that also means if you want a house bad enough, all you have to do is place in the feast every three to six months.

You're already playing it

If one dnc is failing your groups DPS checks the problem probably isn't actually your dancer m8

RDM is the easiest DPS by a mile, DNC is pretty simple too.

Warrior.

Dancer is pretty fun user. Hope you're enjoying yourself! I'm excited to be going into savage as dancer.

NIN.

i am literally completely certain there theres two

I still have my prae fantasia sitting in my fucking inventory

It should be another chakra spender or something, maybe spend Chakra to gain a GL stack and then it'd just be a good oGCD damage move after that.
Considering how gutted MNK is before Stormblood content at this point, literally every early oGCD and buff besides Shoulder Tackle and Perfect Balance has been taken away, they should rework the whole class to introduce Chakra as soon as you hit 30 and figure out the rest from there.

WHM should have the easiest time funny enough, not only because bigger heals but simply because Holy Stuns.

mch

ffxivrotations.com/278b

its pretty easy

WAR needs potency buffs simply because they're being beaten by GNB and WARs are absolutely livid and demand that spot

WHM also attracted the "I don't wanna DPS" crowd for ages so it has the highest ratio of GCD only as Yoshi intended healers.

dancer
speaking of which they should just make it start out as 80 because you already had 90% of your fucking endgame rotation even at lv50 synced

It's always WHMs that pussy out, ESPECIALLY Viera WHMs. ASTs tend to work the hardest and practically slobber on your cock because they want tank-senpai to acknowledge their healing.

Onslaught change would be a blessing because getting Storm's Eye up for AoE is a pain if it falls off.

why would you senei before jinpu? Not bitching just asking for the reasoning.

A lot of leveling WHM right now are only playing it because Balance told them to for "sick rDPS"
Honest WHM do the pulls fine, you get a fag letting you drop below 10% who guts moody and you know you're dealing with a previously-SCH main.

What did you expect from estrologians?

I like it so the cooldown is down faster, I haven't done the maths but I assume the time difference between casting it sooner than when buffed makes the damage equal by the 2nd recast

I'd say level WHM first then BLM. WHM is really good right now and probably the easiest healer to play for new players.

I'd be down for a move that eats chakra to guarantee DHs or positional advantage(Yes I know TN exists, its just an idea and admittedly not a great one) on some moves.

Stormblood was fucking great, faggot. Warriors of Darkness section of Heavensward would be the easy second worst part of the game, if it weren't 100% necessary to set up Shadowbringers.

I find the dancing mechanic 20 times more complex than NIN mudras, I genuinely don't understand it at all

Is there a quest where you can drop a tactical nuke on the waking sands?
I'd like that.

None of those changes are particularly game-breaking, and seem like good quality of life changes.

I don't expect any major changes to the job this expansion, but in the future, I wish there was more interplay between skills feeding in to Upheaval, right now it's literally something you try to mash every 30 seconds when it comes up. Even something as simple as BRD's Mage's Ballad would be a good start, or perhaps removing the cooldown, nerfing the damage, but having some other skills apply stacking potency increases to it. The more potency increases you stack, the more efficient the damage you get from it from your beast gauge, but sometimes it might be better just to mash the shit out of it for a burn phase.

Does this faggot not realize that "difference in play style" is and has been a completely valid reason for vote dismissal basically since the feature was added? Unless one of the tanks he's reported has said something in party chat like, "You're a fucking dickbag, I'm vote kicking you" all this dude's reports are doing is wasting GM time.

They don't need it. Currently all tanks are within 200 DPS of each other.

is this it? have i completely fucked my brain?

>hurr useful features only exist in wow
Good to know, must be one hell of a shit game you are playing.

DNC is the opposite of complicated. Do your 2 part combo, did anything proc? Use those whenever. Did you get a feather? hit the feather button Did the feather button proc? Hit Feather 3.

None of their procs are lost from doing any sort of combos, so you can always do Cascade -> Fountain and use Reverse Cascade and Fountainfall at any point between combos or after combos.

DNC is even more braindead than RDM

I'm retarded and keep forgetting that retry doesn't work like you'd think it does

that already exists and im using it right now though

Should I bother gearing my retainers while leveling them up? I don't mind tossing some vendor trash on them if its a quicker way for them to level.

Instead, all the defensive abilities for tanks got homogenized to ensure everyone is just as effective at their primary role for combat, the only things that change between them is their DPS side of things.

MNK is the best DPS because its literally dependent on how skilled you are as a player. DRG and SAM can be played like retards and still do well, but MNK can't.

BLM requires the most fight memorization autism to know exactly where you need to plant your ass
SMN and NIN are both ridiculous button mash fests at the moment and lining their bullshit up properly with the rest of the raid while also doing mechanics isn't the easiest

>That said, apparently the level 80 DRG quest dramatically changes Nidhogg. I haven't seen it yet.
It doesn't actually change Nidhogg, but it does change the circumstances surrounding Thordan's treachery a bit. Nidhogg fancies himself the star's protector since he was the strongest among the First Brood's dragons and made no bones about his opinion, to the point of declaring himself the star's protector. Thordan and his knights didn't care for Nidhogg's attitude or that he thought so lowly of mortals, so that along with Ratatoskr's revealing the source of dragons' power (she spilled the beans that Nidhogg didn't think mortals were capable of protecting their own planet) compound Thordan killing Ratatoskr for her eyes, thinking all dragons were as contemptuous of mortals as Nidhogg was.

The job-quest still does repeatedly cement that Nidhogg was insane, and obsessed with the mortals' betrayal even by the standards of dragons.

>121 leves used for triples

I had calculated about that number before I took into account how much exp you get from crafting your own stuff. For instance, crafting things a level or two above me, even shit like thread and ingots, usually netted me between 350-500k exp per craft. On CRP especially, I just farmed up around 400 Lignum Vitae lumber and one button macro crafted it all into HQ, it literally got me about 45 million experience on that alone before I even made anything out of it.

I could see someone who's extra greedy or efficient doing the same. 225 million EXP for 70-80 is only around 600 crafts without turn-ins, and that's potentially 600 items that you could sell when all is said and done.

Plant your ass in place for Bahamut and refresh Tri-Disaster when your shit is about to wear off, use Energy Drain every time it's up
Then after Bahamut just mash through all your normal Egi abilities again and start up Phoenix ASAP
It's only the opening Egi mess that's ridiculous your two big summon phases are simple. When you don't have Dreadwyrm going spend your Ruin IV's when you need to weave oGCDs.

I got Kholusia and Ah Merang done but I got my MNK up to 80 already so I need to catch another class up to 70 to do more sidequest shit without wasting the EXP
Some of the little side stories were nice.

Thats 121 without factoring in crafting EXP, the massive exp from Crystarium turn ins, and GC turn its that augment the process. You can easily max them all with less than 100 leves.

>tfw I haven't even learned the anatman opener properly and got 11.2k in titania

I agree, the crysterium turn ins average out to be around 4/5s of a level with all HQ stuff, they're pretty great. I could see this guide being very useful for, say, powerleveling an FC person through 70-80, but doing it yourself will always net you tons of exp from actually crafting.

I just hooked up a controller and watched a movie will hitting start synthesis and my macro button every 45 seconds. I still have around 400 dwarven cotton threads, and that's after fully crafting 80 DoL/DoH gear.

Isn't it better to space the Chrystarium stuff out amongst all your crafters to level them together? That way you can always make mats for your other crafters when you need them and your armory chest isn't cluttered with a bunch of crafting gear for different levels.

I think I ended up using 100-105 because I wasted a few on stupid shit like Miner and a couple NQ turn-ins.
I'm gonna miss crafting a bunch of leve items and selling to other lazy crafters for like 200-300k, fuckers in my server managed to undercut all the 430 shit to 70k now.

did you ever stop to think that maybe it's the players, not PLD

No Nidhogg just took over the role of Hydaelyn's protector for daddy Midgardsormr, and was supposed to act against stuff like Omega or Ultima (high seraph). Still, not impressive track record considering Omega cooperated with the allagans to fuck over his siblings big time (unless he just really didnt care)

Can Hrothgar change their fur color at the barber?

Primal bahamut was fed aether from a hydaelyn shard, that's why he was as strong as he was.

I'm pretty sure Omega was only used to contain primal Bahamut

Pretty much all post 71 crafting is one button now. The new skills are broken as all hell.

Is it wrong to want to fuck Ryne infront of Thancred

I'm leveling a DRG right now and worried about JUMP getting me killed. Is it really that bad or are people stupid?

your either undergeared or too low level for whatever your hitting.

I think all that’s left is a high evasion tank. God only knows how they’ll manage to pull that off.

While only implied, Omega actually just sat back and did experiments to see if the allags could make a dragon destroyer
The one that did Bahamut in was Cloud of Darkness and the voidsent

Divine Veil is shit for trash pulls
Shelltron is fucking 6 seconds
Sentinel cooldown is way too long and doesn't last long enough
Paladin is fucking garbage right now for a job that is usually known for having the best defense

Can you just fuck off already?

CoD and the voidsent killed the OG Bahamut, Omega contained the primal and shoved it into the moon.

It's never gotten me killed but you should be cautious about when you use it. Just don't use it while you're directly in an AOE

Bam, pretty much anything you touch will be HQ'd now. Unlike previous macros, you don't even need a part two because the new touch is so damn strong.

Pretty much this, especially combined with Waste Not. Even something like the 100% success synthesis/touch ability has its place in rotations.

One of the biggest mitigation tools tanks have is Arm's Length, and most either forget or just straight up don't know. PLD is good right now, dungeon trash pulls are basically meaningless for how good a tank is.

I still want to see a SMN tank and a MNK tank. Summons in FFX were pretty damn tough and it's not unbelievable you could use them as tanks, while in early games, MNKs had such high HP gains that they wound up taking tons of damage to put down anyway, especially spell damage.

If you're ever unsure just hold it a second until after the boss does an AoE
Same as playing any class with cast times

docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1N9xuu58vLTMyfMgucL7dWGZYcIPlET6nBw3msVg9wdg/htmlview?sle=true#

Go to rotations. These most likely aren't perfected, but you'll understand the idea. Preparatory Touch and Delicate Touch are pants on head retarded.

If that's wrong, I don't wanna be right.

joke's on you I bot shit when I wanna shitpost

Wait, where was it stated that Cloud actually killed Bahamut? I figured the Allagans just brought him down at great cost before sending Omega to bind him. Was that in BCoB?

negligible at best.

>Shelltron is fucking 6 seconds
so is Holmgang
TBN is only 7 seconds
Shelltron can also be cast twice in a row
Sentinel is identical to Shadow Wall and Nebula, and has the same duration and CD as Vengeance. PLD is fine.

Bahamut died originally in the Allagan invasion of Meracydia after Xande made the pact with the Cloud. Tiamat and the surviving Meracydian dragons then summoned the primal Bahamut, who was then bound by Omega.

The real Bahamut and the primal Bahamut were two different entities
Omega is the one that restrained the primal Bahamut

Oh, that's right, I forgot about that, I always want to lump the two together.

Divine veil is not a tool for self mitigation.
Sheltron is the best personal CD out of all of the short tank CDs since it's literally a better raw intuition.
Sentinel is the exact same as Nebula, Vengeance and Shadow wall.

They also have hallowed ground which is MILES better than living dead and holmgang for dungeons and outright better than Superbolide, though Superbolide is good too. They also have instant cast clemency and are the only tanks capable of doing 4 man dungeons without a healer.

is the lv16 roulette worth doing always? cause its got the shittiest fucking dungeons like toto rak

>Sheltron is the best personal CD out of all of the short tank CDs since it's literally a better raw intuition.
that's TBN but Sheltron is still great.

Beastmaster or Necromancer would be the best choices for a pet tank. Fucking china and their bullshit would get offended so nippons won’t fund Necromancer.

Funny thing is that in ARR people ran Ramuh EX with 7 DPS and 1 healer because Titan wasn’t effected by the big shock move.

HG is good for dungeons, but I'd rather have WAR/DRK's invulns for trials/raids. Both PLD and GNB both have the issue that theirs can't really be used twice for shorter fights.

yes, it's the best (or second best, I'm not sure if MSQ is better) XP:time ratio in the game even if you get Toto-rak.

Sheltron is supposed to be compared to TBN, Heart of Stone and Raw Intuition. GNB gets a bonus skill in Camo, while WAR gets a bonus spell in Equilibrium+Thrill. Shake It Off also works on self unlike Veil. TBN is also up way more often. Overall the only thing PLD has going for it is Hallowed twice a run.

That's pretty humorous. I wish we'd have more fights where non-standard comps were able to be used and even encouraged for players to branch out, but everyone expects to be able to clear content most optimally with a 2/2/4 setup. This would be the perfect game to encourage branching out for solutions since you can literally swap jobs on a single character without penalty before fights, the only drawback is you'd be gearing multiple jobs if you wanted to.

Leveling Dancer currently. Probably better then doing more PLD stuff, just because I can reuse all my BRD gear on DNC without issue. currently 66 with it.

They have Clemency, but if you're spamming that then things have already gone horribly wrong.

HG is far better than Holmgang for sustained effects like Titania's tethers and busters because it lasts long enough to cheese them.

>but if you're spamming that then things have already gone horribly wrong.
Or you have a WHM in the party.

In terms of EXP/time efficiency it's something like:
MSQ Roulette > Leveling > 50/60/70 (if you get one close to your level) > Alliance Raid (Crystal Tower raids) > Trial >>>>>>>>>>> Alliance Raid (Dun Scaith/Orbonne)

Normal Raid gives jackshit for EXP so use it to get more Goetia with one of your 80 classes.

Judge tank which we learn from defectors of the Garlean empire during the invasion. Same with Alchemist/Biochemist healer from chemists who defected that were asked to create Black Rose but wanted nothing to do with it.

The shield is outright the best mitigation tool in the game. TBN is great, but it's not even a contest once you factor in blocks.

>Biochemist

*ACID DEMONSTRATION INTENSIFIES*

Good thing you can just share Fae light since it's obvious that's what you're referring too. It's actually the same amount of healing since you only need to heal one tank. The OT just pops all of their CD's since they dont use them anyway.

Tank invuls really dont matter that much for raids. Even in UCoB. They were good because they saved you CD's and let you have more CDs for other tank busters but with the new short CD tank skills, it doesnt save you nearly as much as before.

DRK or WAR?

DRK. WAR right now is really clunky for the way it works in 5.0.

None of them are as bad as SCH or WAR quests so sure, they're worth checking out
Alchemist in particular is actually really good. Goldsmith is probably the lamest overall.
Once you hit Stormblood the job quests just hand you the materials like the beast tribe crafting quests.

Female hyurs were the kind of faggots who would unironically use the word "middie" and argue for days about run animations.

Explain how every single chat meltdown posted on these threads are usually not from cats?

Are you taking into consideration that Sheltron is on the gauge? You can have two lined up back to back. Once you put Raw, HoS or Thrill on CD you wont get another until the full recast unlike Sheltron. TBN is good but as soon as it expires you're taking full damage for the remainder of the CD. In dungeons, Hallowed and Superbolide are the only true tank invuls.
