Thanks, pretty crazy to me that I gotta do the endgame stuff for each patch before getting to shadowbringers. I guess I'll get there by the time the next expansion is out lol

Women are more sexual deviant than men, most fucked up hentai artists are women

>comraderie and honor
when was that?
all i recall is everyone crying in every zone over some shit

anyone else avoid parties with selfish DPS like SAM and BLM in them? At this point I'm not worried about enrage so we don't really need them, much prefer a job with raid buffs.

Starting in the incorrect zone. Restart as a Thamaturge, Pugilist or Gladiator for the canon story. You can switch to Conjurer pretty quickly if you want.

no, because i'm not a tranny

Not everyone is a shitter that can't perform without buff like you.
Glad DRG got less buffs now, don't have to carry you shitters

lads can you get banned for even mentioning fflogs if there's no implication involved of actively parsing? Like if you see someone in a party with REALLY FUCKING BAD LOGS and you point it out?

now is the absolute worst time to play. queues are fucking dead. come back during a major patch.

yes absolutely

never reference parsing in game even in private chats

Not parsing, FFlogs. As in the website. Not parsing.

don't explicitly mention it or even imply it. I would just say "Wow, our DPS isn't going to be enough to clear this hurdle"
then i just talk shit in my linkshell lmao

logs are the result of parsing, if you think you'll get away with tossing around logs in game the GMs will rape you

yes. that type of behavior is the entire reason why it is banned in the first place. you won't be permabanned but they will suspend your account, and each suspension will be longer.

>roll CNJ
>go through sastasha

I know how that is now.

If you say "just checked fflogs and the machinist has a really bad history, he's less than 10th percentile in E1S and he's cleared it multiple times all at the rock bottom" then there's no implication there of you personally using a 3rd party website.

But blm is the only caster/ranged that's worth it
But yeah, 90% of them are bad, you never know

>Unlock RDM and SAM

Is there a class in this game post-2.0 I don't have to watch a meter to play correctly

Every class has a gauge of some sort

in that scenario you personally just used the site as a reference to slander someone in game

even then wanting to make the tank pop a tank cd over a single trash mob is laughable
what im saying is
you are shit and need to improve

are you dense? the reason parsing is banned isn't because of the technology itself, it's frowned upon by the GMs for the way it impacts the in-game community. whether you agree or disagree is up to you, of course, and you can parse all you want in a dedicated static, but if a GM decides to enforce the policy of "no parsing talk in-game", your autistic semantics about first-hand use or disuse of parsing tools is irrelevant. good luck with your ban appeals

>This guy has cleared the fight a bunch, but I don't think he's good enough to carry me, we should get someone else

because she's an emotionally invested writer who doesn't just dump explanations into your face about everything.
Imagine if you had been explained to about how sin eaters work, compared to seeing them be so docile in Eulmore and be the cause of a fate worse than death for someone you invested time into

try it in every party you join and see what happens then. just don't come back crying here like a fucktard

Over the years my raid has had a bunch of girls in it. One of them is one of the best players in our FC. Every other one has been awful, without fail. I don't get it.

The community in this game is full of whiny thin-skinned bitches and the GMs will absolutely drop the hammer on you for antagonizing their skill, never mind by referencing unsanctioned third-party tools.

>This guy has been carried through the fight a bunch, So i don't think he is good enough, we should get someone else

You can't be this dumb. This moron has been carried through every clear and the party was E2S not E1S. He has not demonstrated he can clear E2S, he only showed he can get carried through E1S while doing literally 8k DPS in E1S. That guy ain't clearing E2S any time soon without a hard as fuck carry

Prepare to forget everything you know about MMO healing, because none of it applies in FFXIV logic except for not wasting mana on overhealing

>not wasting mana on overhealing
I don't even think that matters anymore.

You might want to play any other modern MMO. No, FF14 healing is no different than every other mmo healing out there.

dude you let a tank die on fucking sastasha holy shit

cooldowns or no, your reaction time is garbage, yes it's your fucking fault.

>t.woman

Heavensward.

>Die in 3 hits in sastasha

was your tank naked or what ? even with shit gear he cant be that bad

I refuse to believe this. I have literally never seen any tank ever come close to dying in Sastasha under any circumstances in 5+ years of playing this game.

Is crafting/gathering worth the hassle? Been leveling it a bit now, and i fucking hate it.

shit, stormblood legitimately had higher stakes than this xpac because vauthry didn't really care about shit until you started killing all the lightwardens. what a letdown. Stormblood's story was better than that shit. Oh well, at least it was strange enough to be interesting.

I wouldn't go that far, but I do agree that too many elements felt like red herrings, and the general tone was more light-hearted than what the trailer and early introduction gave.

i love dragoon lads. i just love it

I'll play when BLU isn't locked behind solo only.

Blue mage has always been my favorite FF class and locking it to solo is dumb.

The last card for me was Titania. I don't do extreme stuff so I was just suffering through normal mode, I swear it must have taken at least 40 kills, and it's one of the few story trials where you regularly get groups that flat out can't clear so you have to abandon duty. Never running that bitch again.

I got GNB and AST to 80 now, which job should I do next?
I play on controller if that helps.

because blu has dumb and overpowered shit in its kit
allowing to be in current content means stripping it that makes it fun in the first place

What's overpowered exactly?

I admire your dedication, user. Unfortunately I just recently got into the game before ShB came out, and I hadn't played last since before they added triple triad to the game, so I don't have the motivation to go hunt for every card in the game all at once.

I think BLU would be fun in PvP.

So instead of it being slightly neutered in terms of kit but useable in content you’d rather it be broken and unusable in anything that’s actually enjoyable? What a retard you are

The absolute best feel.

Attached: 1564829902803.png (245x235, 16K)

I just wanna barf some bad breath on some niggas in pvp. Thats all. The day, the minute, the hour they announce they aren't locked solo anymore I'll buy the game and an asston of starter-pack-whatever-the-fucks they have on sale, bet.

Once I found out the game wasn't like tactics and you couldn't use the skillsets of 2 different classes to make something unique I could give 2 shits anymore in a broad sense, even if the game looks fun as shit. But BLU not having access to the complete game is the gate for me.

It's kind of annoying that getting every card is pretty much out of reach for people who are new to the game. For one there's a bunch of cards locked away in Eureka which no one is ever going to get again. And secondly there was the Noctis card that was only available during the XV crossover event and now it's gone forever.

Although most content cards eventually get added to NPCs but it'll probably still at least require you to clear the Eureka storyline. Plus there's all the old primal cards which are undoubtedly an absolute bitch to farm now because no one runs those trials so you just have to queue up and hope for 7 people who queued for trial roulette.

Why the fuck do you need gap closer until 80

And then everyone clapped

Its a great game, but note that Conjurer is essentially a healing class. It is possible to solo and you have some attacks, but it is mostly focused on healing and promotes into White Mage when you get to the Job level upgrade. If you didn't want to be a healer at first, it may not be the class for you. Then again, if you enjoy playing healers in many other MMOs, that's fine etc.

If you didn't in specific want to be a full healer eventually but wanted to start as a "mixed" caster, you could give Arcanist a try (promotes to Summoner. You get a little Carbunkl or whatever they're called pet and have both healing and damage I think. Of course you get more stuff when you hit Summoner) Thermaturge on the other hand is the fully offensive side that promotes to Black Mage.

Note there are also Jobs that do not correlate directly to any of the beginner classes, like those added in the expansions. I'm just starting myself so I don't know the requirements for unlocking all of them as of yet.

you are merely jesting right?
you seriously cant mean that question right with stuff like diamondback and doom?
and people would be memeing with final sting and self-destruct
so you wanna take what makes blu mage special and make into another caster like rdm, smn, blm, but make it so it looks blu magey?
you seem to be the retard here

>so you wanna take what makes blu mage special and make into another caster like rdm, smn, blm, but make it so it looks blu magey?

Literally yes, if it means I get to play my favorite FF job in content that matters, absolutely. Nothing you can do with BLU is fun right now and multiple jobs had to be compromised to fit into an mmo framework so I’m sure they could’ve figured something out. You’re a humongous cock sucking faggot.

weebs are arrogant losers and aren't humble at all, I've seen more non-crowns helping people than mentors and I've seen ultimate legends cause wipes on purpose

Who knows, people like to shame nin for no reason

People who try to signal their superiority in online games by wearing status symbols are always compensating for actually being shit. They are insecure about their skill so they wear the titles and stuff so they can point to it as "proof" they're a good player when anyone calls them out.

It's always the OT. Damn useless shit. Grab the ads. You're icon is blue for a reason.

We literally have more women than men in my FC

Tanks fighting for aggro is the most dumb and annoying shit. Literally all they have to do is just one of them turn off tank stance but both of them are either too stubborn or too stupid to do it.

the skill roadmap is kinda fucked for every job. it's a strong enough deterrent to keep me away from leveling roulette, which I guess is a mixed blessing.

>PLD gets sheltron at 35
>WAR gets RI at 56

That's an OT disguised as the MT

>is pretty much out of reach for people who are new to the game
I would say it's out of reach for most people with those fucking 5* drop rates anyway. I spent about 50 hours trying to get Bahamut, and eventually just said fuck TT when I didn't get it in probably 1000+ wins.

Sheltron doesn't seem that good desu. Convince me otherwise.

I think it's mostly okay except for some annoying things like DRK not getting Stalwart Soul until 72. The main problem is that once you get certain skills the job improves so much that you can't stand to lose them.

I like my alliance raids being cluster fucks desu. The butthurt in chat puts a cherry on top of the otherwise slow routine grind.

It's the worst spot mitigation skill out of all tank's so you're not wrong.

>Everyone gets their 30% defensive CD at the same level

It's better than raw int (lasts 1 second longer, has shorter effective cooldown)
It's better than heart of stone (20%+ to 15%)
Whether it's better than TBN depends on the amount of damage incoming over its period.

>that will scale upwards over the expansion
It caps at 20%
Look at block strength of 475 shield compared to 450.

Mechanics>DMG

Its not that good true, but what you must take into account is that pld will block shit w/o sheltron too, the skill just turns the rate up.

The RDM should pick up more through dualcasts, but you should pick up some too. Every leftover orb boosts the boss' damage and makes life harder for the tank and healer. You're not in the right there.

yes, unless you hit very niche optionnal high difficulty raid mode from older expansions you'll find groups under 15 minutes
and just buy every copy of shadowbringer and sell the keys, you'll become millionaire

I think the top DPS classes are BLM (starts as THM), MNK (starts as PGL), and SAM (can be unlocked when you reach level 50).

BLM/THM > MNK/PGL > SAM
Of those three BLM and MNK are meta

SAM, BLM, DNC.

whats more fun black mage or monk?

Ironically dancer has a 1500 potency nuke which is the single most potency in one move in the game, but they have the lowest personal and raid dps otherwise since most of their bread and butter GCDs are in 200-300 range.

Melee DPS limit break is 5000 potency I think.

A bad game. Just play WoW or ESO.

for 10 bucks its a steal, lots of new players now, but wait till 5.3 hits in a year or so. Lots of improvements for early game content should hit then.
BLM for big dick numbers, WAR is fun too, but you only get damage in bursts.

Can a BLM tell me if Foul/Xenoglossy are affected by Astral Fire’s damage increase?

>a story "pulls all it's punches" if it doesn't kill main characters every five minutes
Stick to Game of Thrones and complaining about taxes or something

What the fuck do you mean 'fun'.

BLM is your most standard caster, I guess. Long spell cast times, doesn't like to move, hits big numbers.

MNK is your GOESFAST class. Nothing hits super hard, but you're hitting a fuckton. You also need to hit from either the side or the back for almost all of your abilities to get the most use out of them, meaning you're constantly moving. It's fantastic if you like going fast.

DNC has a 2 minute cooldown that can hit 150k in one hit without padding
SAM can hit 100k in one GCD with midare, but that's with padding
MNK can shit out 3 50k+ hits in 2 seconds

>dancer is the biggest nuke of all
Considering base GCD in this game is 2.5 seconds and the 1500 potency DNC's move takes like 7 seconds to complete, it's not really all that impressive.
They do unaspected damage, so not affected by AF.

For your first playthrough/job? Monk. Black Mage is literally spamming fire until level 60, where you spam fire IV instead. It's memed as a one button job and in many aspects it is. The fun of it is in seeing ridiculous numbers.

>make threat braindead to manage
>still force all tanks to spam the same move in their burst phase (HS,FC,BS)

they aren't

Yeah but he asked for the single biggest hit. You could say Midare is because it's 100k, but since that takes 2.5 seconds, and a GCD, and 20 resource that could go to off GCD damage instead, and a full rotation to prep, you could argue that monk's 60k oGCD they can spam every oGCD is better if you want to go that route, or that BLM is better because you shit out 60-80k hits every single GCD for like 30 seconds

Should I level up an alt tank or leveling up another role

PLD has two 'burst' phases, and HS spam is strict enough (four casts then Confiteor) that it honestly doesn't feel like FC/BS spam.

Another role

BLM or DRG?

user you're unironically just a shitter. My first time tanking in Sastasha I never used a single cool down and the healer kept me alive just fine when I had piss poor gear on. You're just a shit healer.

It used to be
>Vengeance Dealt damage and didn't reduce damage
in 2.0 but WAR was garbage so they just slapped on 30% reduction to make it "balanced" compared to PLD's 40% Sentinel at 180s CD, which ended up making WAR broken (in addition to a glut of other changes)
Then after that it was "balanced" as Vengeance dealt damage but was less mitigation while sentinel had a longer cooldown, and shadow wall was garbage
Then they removed all differences but let WAR keep the counterattacks for some reason. Should just slap a counter on Nebula too, and a Blood Price effect on Sentinel and Shadow Wall

You don't always spam HS though since Clemency can be a DPS gain.

There's convenience in leveling up all the tanks; they can share leveling gear, and once they're all at 80, you can toss out all of the leveling gear in one go.

It's a reason I leveled MNK and SAM together, since they similarly share gear.

Nothing in this game feels as good as vomiting 3 flares, 2 fouls, a THIRD foul and getting like 3 thundercloud procs in under 12 seconds. You can feel the tank going "jesus christ" and the other dps melting with envy

>that takes 2.5 seconds, and a GCD, and 20 resource that could go to off GCD damage instead,
Just to let you know, SAM gets a trait that drops the Iaijutsu cast time to 1.3s. Which lets you fit it an oGCD like shinten or Senei.

Both

Which still doesn't change the fact that the cost of a midare is one GCD + 20 kenki

Does this game have the most SOULful dev team?

no one ever dies except some bitch no one cares about. game of thrones is gay, and that's not what I said. But in the introduction, a heavy, dark tone is set, and then it's thrown out the window for some lore warping nonsense and forest people. For how it was marketed to me, shit even Heavensward and Stormblood felt heavier than this.
Stormblood raised questions like "would you sympathize with hitler if all her memories were wiped?" Vauthry is bad because he's fat and mean. Light is bad, and the Ascians did literally nothing wrong. If I had to say what the major theme of ShB is, it's moral relativism, and it's pretty clumsy.

Just leave that group and find another this isn’t brain science. Or are you the shitter who is being carried and are you just projecting?

I main DRG and love it, always stuck to it since picking it as starter. Can't go wrong with BLM either though. Melee gets really fun later but is boring in the beginning. DRG gets AoE at Aurum Vale.

That mob got fucking deleted

If everyone in the group does 10th percentile DPS then you don't clear

Kenki management is a joke in 5.0 20 kenki is nothing. And it’s not one GCD it’s half a GCD.

Oh so Midare reduces your recast time to 1.25s? News to me. You fucking moron.

He's a moron but you're also a moron for thinking that SAM operates at baseline 2.5 sec GCD.

Reminder that D is the real scourge, not F

The whole thing about parsing being a bannable offense isn't necessarily the parsing itself, but the bullying it enables. No one should really care if you talk about your DPS in like FC chat or something (assuming your FC isn't a shitty hugbox), but using in-game chat to talk about someone's damage being too low is a big no-no. It's not like the GMs are going to comb through your chat logs unless someone reports you, but it's safe to keep that kind of chat to Discord and whatnot since there's no risk there.

Oh sorry user, 1.03s
Oh wait, but there are other builds at other GCD speeds too, so I should account for those. Or I could say half the unbuffed GCD speed and just call whatever retard responds with "WELL ACKSHULLYH THERE'S THE SHIFU BUFF :)" a fucking moron for being so fucking stupid that he thinks people aren't going to account for the main fucking feature of the job

You're a moron for taking it as an absolute value and not the representation of it being a GCD.
The game operates at that baseline.

You are quite literally seething. Attempt to better contain your autism next time.

Sorry user, maybe you can hold it for me since you're still waiting for a group who wants a useless DPS?

For jobs with baseline haste, no, it doesn't.

Haste is a modifier in the class set, not inherent in the skill being discussed.

Attached: 1547366250413.jpg (1000x1000, 377K)

But it is not a property of the skill in question.

This whole autism debate stem from me saying DNC doing 1500 potency attack in 7 seconds every 120 sec wasn't all that impressive when SAM could do 3300 potency in 4-4.2 seconds every 120 sec.

Literally had a WHM mage in a "Static" that wasn't using any Lillie abilities, and was doing 11-14 casts a minutes. They also weren't using Divine Benesion, and were spamming Medica 2 instead of Cure 3. When the Raid Leader asked them about it, they REEEEEEE'd and blocked everyone

Oh, I know. But this retard got caught up on the haste and GCD length aspect.

Literally doesn’t matter. You’re arguing autistic semantics at this point, not how the skill/job actually functions.

Though I disagree with that other user. Sure, you can cast it at range, but you need to hit Requiescat (a melee ability) for it to be doing the damage it needs, and it has a cast time until sometime after level 70, so it's not like you can move freely.

Not really. It should all come gradually and naturally. Most terminology is common for all MMOs and easy to pick up. You'll also have a little sprout icon to show your status as a new player, so others will usually be patient with you. There's the novice network (mileage on helpfulness may vary) if you have any questions, and the hall of novices to teach you the basics for each role.

And if you are really really lucky you might even find a crown thats not a complete fucking mongoloid, but the odds for that are low. And as you dont know, crowns are people with crowns by their names, they are supposed to be mentors and help new players, most people tho just pick up a crown and plays like retards.

Cure III is expensive and has a short range around the target being healed so it shouldn't be your go-to by default but it definitely has its uses aside from being the most up front potency per cast aoe heal in your arsenal.

For one you can target it so this means you can aoe heal from a distance. Generally this won't mean much since you're typically stacked with the group but it in scenarios like e3s I've been able to save the team on the opposite side platform with cure 3 if the healer there falls for any reason. It also has a shorter cast time so you can weave in ogcds while spamming it during intensive situations more easily than medica, namely thin air.

Also remember you can cancel target or target the boss to make cure 3 behave like medica as it will aoe off yourself by default.

You got lucky, but dungeon/trial cards aren't as big of an issue as the ones that drop from NPCs. Though nobody knows the exact drop rates since it's all server side.

THOUSANDS of quests before reaching actual content.

Anons, I feel bad. BLM is too hard for me. Even with tomestone weapon I feel myself worthless. Like I'm only one in PF group who trying hard to achieve decent dps whole SAM/DRG/MCH/BRD/MNK paly on autopilot. Meanwhile as SMN I don't even need to put efforts. Job plays itself.

Pretty much, you can't even get pugs to stand inside the massive glowing asylum bubble for longer than half a second.

Slutglams, usually. Low effort shit. Viera wearing the racial legs with bikini tops. Le ebin gay roe. Horribly mismatches stuff and metallic dyes.

For me chat is difficult because the game doesn't have chat bubbles, so I usually miss things in the chat window going by so fast. I really wish Yoshi would add them for players.

I hate this.

I can't live without aspect mastery or umbral soul anymore

aspect mastery should honestly be obtained at the same time as flare. black mage is an amazing job, but its leveling experience is horrendous. there's lots of skills that should be moved earlier into the leveling process.

Based. I also extend to commending melee DPS first, then ranged DPS. Only ever commend a healer if they had to deal with a shitty tank and their MP was running close to 0 all the time.

BLM under 58 is horrible, you don't even have B4 or F4. Under 50 is suicide-inducing because you just spam F1 hoping for F2 proc.

I feel filthy if I can't finish fire phase with despair either, and lack of xenoglossy trips me up so bad. Going from umbral soul to transpose makes me want to sit in a corner and cry.

BLM has so many instants now that this is trivial as hell. You're not correct.

heard mr happy say that the game is 80 percent done. does that mean next xpac is the last xpac bros?

fuck off mr faggy

If the game doesn't end on level 99 I will be disappoint.

>play DRG in e4, 3k dps ahead of the second highest
>0 comms
>lvl SCH by spamming ruin in dungeons

That goes for every job. Getting synced in XIV is hell because your job gets completely neutered and it's no fun. People say you should be able to keep your skills while synced and just scale down your damage, but imo they should just lower the levels of most skills, that way the combat gets fun way earlier for new players too. By level 50 you should have 80-90% of your kit and after that skills are only every 5 levels or so. You only have to level up each job once, but synced content is forever, so I'd gladly make the tradeoff of a "less exciting" leveling experience in exchange for having a job that's still fun when synced.

Same experience actually. DRG main, then WAR and SCH. Just by leveling SCH I went from 150 commends to 300.

Maybe because most of the dev team are big FF fans and actually play the game?

Hasn't he fucked off to classic yet?

Doubt. But possible if they develop PS5 version of XIV sequel. We know that HW writer working no secret MMO project

I noiced I usually get more comms when I do shitty and need to rez people as a healer.

Same desu. Going to 100 and beyond feels wrong.
That, and there's not much more skill pruning that can be done to fit all skills on hotbars. We'll have to stop receiving new skills at some point and start progressing in other ways.

fucking tourists go back to your real jobs

I generally go by tank->healer, healer->tank, DPS->DPS, unless someone really stood out or the person I was going to comm has a crown.

Yes that appears to be the common case for all josb. A good player does things so smoothly they go by unnoticed so they don't get commends. So the simple rule is to give the commend to a person that caught your eye the least.

They're not going to because it's intentional for these trials to become easier over time to aid players in catching up. Imagine if everyone had to deal with 4.0 shinryu as it launched, for example. It sucks for people like you and me who enjoy the trials for what they offered on launch but it would suck even more for shitters who just want to catch up quickly and are constantly being blocked by wall after wall of trials they're not good enough to clear if they were synced properly.

There is a lot hotbar space to be honest. Some skills exist just to eat hotbar space. And if we talk about gamepads, AOE rotations can be literally swapped to different R1 hotbar sicne you never swap them. It either AOE or single even in raids

>Imagine if everyone had to deal with 4.0 shinryu as it launched,
They fucking should. They bought the game to play it did they not?

Because you get Ilvl synced

I'm generally on board with this, but then they should increase the rewards for trial roulette, since the whole point is "atleast it's something" for 5 minutes of investment.

But BLM is my real job since ARR, user! It's not my fault YoshiP spoiled me with QoL skills that fixed problems I didn't even know I had until I forgot how to live without them! I used to be satisfied with proc-baiting with fire 1 and casting at most three flares every few minutes with only convert and ethers to even let me do it. I remember when all I ever wanted was aoe thunder.

What was different? When I first did it a couple of weeks ago, someone threw a tantrum and quit immediately, then we did the fight with no problems.
>and are constantly being blocked by wall after wall of trials they're not good enough to clear
They can still get carried even if the fights take longer. I died four times the first time I did Tsukuyomi, and the group still carried me with little issue.

No one honestly cares outside drama queens or Yea Forumstards. Normal people don't even examine others in dungeons

That active column includes dots, and is not indicative of actual casting uptime.

>It's an user pretends to be new to start a thread episode
>uses the most basic bitch Yea Forums template

How can I check uptime?

No one likes roulettes. People do them for tomestones cap or exp. No one want to wasting time on "hard" content. Especially in game with such horrible level up system where you can't do quests.

Exactly. The fights are all faceroll now. Even someone dying 4 times can't cause a wipe.

4.0 Shinryu took no prisoners. People just could not see the end of Stormblood because you couldn't burn through him thanks to your ilvl.

A fight only lasts an expansion before becoming completely irrelevant. You probably don't even remember trials like Chrysalis and Steps of Faith because you did it not long ago. 2.0 Players have cold sweats about those fights because they required players to have a modicum of intelligence and co-operation ability. Permanent Min ilvl would go a long way.

Kinda. This is what I used. AF3 coat, AF1 pants, ridorana shoes, kudzu hat, probably any old gloves but AF1 should do. We don't have a proper black mage face other than the dwarf caster hat, but that one comes with an irremovable beard. Vanya hat is also floppier, but the belt kinda clashes with the rest of the look. The full AF1 is probably good enough if you dye it right.

My favorite is when they sprint through everything and stay outside my line of sight so I can't even pop any instacast heals or regen on them and by the time I reach them they are already dead.

>Permanent Min ilvl would go a long way.
I will just quiet instantly. And DF will be dead.
>difficult content

can't reason with them user
these are the same people who shill jump potions

Alternatively, and this is probably a better way, use the compare functionality in FFLogs, and compare yourself against a good BLM on the exact same fight, and scrub the longer encounter range to be the same length as the shorter one. Then check each cast. Number of F4, Despair, Xenoglossy, T3, F3, and etc... are a very good indicator of casting uptime. The BLM with higher rdps are usually the same one that are just simply getting more casts in.

I'm pretty sure you don't want to do EX/Savages in DF. Especially when you just need exp for level up alt

I was in Savage yesterday and the scholar accidentally prepulled by pressing the wrong button and everyone blamed the bard

I know, I was arguing in-favor of older fights being scaled properly. The way it is now is awful, you hardly get to experience most of the fights and it does a poor job of preparing new players for higher end content. I did Titan (HM) 6 years ago and I remember it more than any of the trials I've done in the past month or two, barring Tsukuyomi, because I've just facerolled through everything.

>>>>>"""""""Difficult Content"""""""

It's Trial Roulette, bro

i don't have any friends to play classic
that's why i grind in ff

>comparing Steps of Do What NPCs Tell You and Shinryu: Look Out For Tidal Wave! edition to Savage
Is this nigga serious

Yeah. And it's easy as fuck. No problems.
People already quit Steps of Do What NPCs Tell You during roulettes back in days.

How much lategame PvE content has this game compared to wow? How bad is the pvp in this game?

people who wiped at 4.0 shinryu must have ridden the short bus
>"DON'T MOVE"
>people proceed to try running in the ice

While I agree with you on principle, the fact is they do not want the playerbase split up so much and stuck at different parts. For the MSQ, they want everyone to be caught up to current as this will help with queue times in roulettes and such.

I'm not sure if you do savage or not but generally the way it works is the longer you take to clear, the less likely you are to succeed as more experienced players have moved on and all you're stuck with are bads. It would be awful if this problem was applied to four expansions worth of content. We're already in a spot where even Titania normal can't be cleared depending on who you get matched up with.

>What was different?
It was noticeably more difficult. Attacks hit harder and akh morns were to be respected. And since team damage was lower you were seeing more and more of these punishing attacks. You had to be consistently good to clear it. I liked it because it felt like a final boss should. Its difficulty was somewhere between Hades on launch and your typical extreme trials. Nothing too hardcore as I was still able to carry as WHM as long as one good tank stayed alive, but it didn't feel like a faceroll either.
>They can still get carried even if the fights take longer.
This is true if your healers can handle it, which is not always the case.

A really boring grind

Why do healers and tanks in this game seem to be especially god complexy even by regular MMO standards?

>For the MSQ, they want everyone to be caught up to current as this will help with queue times in roulettes and such.
Then why bother with boss mechanics at all?

>xivanalysis.com
This is great

Fast queue times. Dps mains are glad to play after their 20 minute queue meanwhile if one thing goes wrong healers and tanks just leave because lmao who cares after 30 minutes it's another instant queue.

>need to take risk and cast despair while enochan has chance to dropping
I should go back to SMN. Too mach efforts compared to other jobs.

I want more postmoogle quests, they where fun despite just being mostly delivery quests

Healers are always on the edge and insecure because they have to read the fights a lot. If something bad happens they have to figure out if they did something bad or if it was the other guy and some can't handle that and lash out.
Tanks are usually more relaxed but some have petty fights about being MT and I guess there is some epeen involved there. Their job is braindead compared to everybody else though so it's all just unwarranted self-importance.

t. orange WHM/SCH

If enochian has a chance of dropping with despair, you're losing uptime, and your spell speed is too low.

I hate this site because it still gave me crap with an orange parse on chaos and told me to put up dots where it would not make sense.

I'm just too bad. Sometimes I need to cast despair instead of another F4. Or fire instead of f4 because of movement. Sometimes I trying to be cool guy and drop enochian at last 0.01 second of cast. This is situation where I want to kill myself or wipe.

>pull dank DPS on savage weeklies
>keep getting added by shitters that notice
what do

Must have been during burst phase you smartass

or they could keep adding content even at max level
>wasting time making msq and leveling zones and low level zones
tho i guess they could keep adding secondary quest lines in the type of msqs if they go that route

>lategame pve
Per expac (ie every 10 level capstone including 50) the formula has been
About 10 max level dungeons (something like 25 at 50)
5 max level trials with EX versions, 2 lower leveled with max level EX versions
12 raid floors with regular and savage difficulty (the level 50 one of these is basically savage and savage+ and is increasingly difficult to find actual groups for since you can solo most of it at level 70)
3 24 man raid dungeons forming a series, with 5-6 bosses apiece
hyper-grind "vintage MMO experience" bait that you can sink hundreds of hours into with maybe a 56 man boss tucked away in it
1-2 Ultimate trials (only level 70/ potentially 80 atm)

PVP is either 3 shitty variations of 3 team CtF with 24/72 players, 4v4 deathmatch and that one assfaggots mode that no one plays

I don't understand how anyone can think the gameplay isn't retarded.
While I love the series and had a good time on XIV, there's a lot of stuff missing that make any combat "mash rotation to win"
>no elements, every attack and spells are non elemental
>no build, every job more or less play the same and there's not a single brain cell involved in the equipment/skill screen
>nerfing old content so new people rush it to get to the end made me spend 500 hours in pure easy mode, really sad, especially for fights like throdan (HW final boss).

In the end everything feels like there's no gameplay, and when I see people trying to convince themselves with this popular time battle mode vision they have comparing parsers it's just kinda... boring.

Stop overthinking and stressing over this, and learn to have fun. If you can't do that, why even bother playing a game.
As others have said, you don't have to learn anything overnight, it's a process of 200+ hours of gameplay before you reach endgame where the mentioned sweaty elitist players will show up and start giving you shit for anything.
I have never seen anyone giving a hard time to sprouts because they didn't know something.

So what do colors of the DPS bars represent on ACT/FFLogs? Is it DPS rank in your party, or rank for your class overall?

weak bait

Chat bubbles were added in one of the earliest patches of WoW if I remember right. How come FF14 never implemented something this simple? Did people never ask for it from Yoshi?

Nigger, BLM is all 'bout the risk as points out
You haven't truly lived until you've dropped a non-leyline despair right as astral is running out before a guaranteed death aoe hits you and you transpose out into safety
That or riding the line of life and death knowing when you absolutely don't need to move to your healers for a spot heal, surviving on a measly triple digit hp. Or having the perfect leyline placement that any other inch in any direction would kill you except this one. I get fully erect playing this class.

Everyone already knows that MMOs are the paralympics of gaming. I play to relax and wind down, having avoided MMOs when I was younger. The lack of elements do piss me off since we won't be getting Mystic Knights.

What is this Eureka? How do you get to it? Is it even worth the time?

>>double BLM in expert roulette

>Tank : Pulls only 1 mob

fucking every time.

>Everyone already knows that MMOs are the paralympics of gaming.
But why? They're not different from normal games.

It's co-op and requires no fine motor skills like aiming. You just press the right buttons at the right time and memorize fights. MMOs are designed so they can be played by everyone including the crippled who couldn't play other online games. MMOs don't have to be different from other games, but by including everyone for profit it naturally turns out this way.

Reminder that you shouldn't queue for Orbonne Monastery if you're a shitter

I only queued exactly one time, just to get it cleared once. Naturally I was a shitter because I didn't know what was going on.

Do you think I give a fuck? Think again.

>but by including everyone for profit it naturally turns out this way
but that's literally why people shit on things like CoD and FIFA?

Being new to a raid and being just shit are different things.

I do miss shield bash

They're equally rewarding in terms of cyber bullying though. Why do I get shit on for being a first timer every single time. I don't even die, I just do below average and choke on rotations, I thought this game was made to relax, not to play pretend esport superstar

u mean wow? yeah

So all games outside quake style competitive arena shooters are "braided" as I understand? Cybersportkeks can't be even more delusional.
