>MMO class is literally the easiest of the bunch on paper
>becomes the hardest in the game in actual raids
What games other than FFXIV do this?
MMO class is literally the easiest of the bunch on paper
BLM is based on standing still and casting a lot. Calling avoiding the bad and still dpsing isn't fucking challenging.
Thread died before I could post, behold your request in all its MS Paint glory
>enter thread
>receive a (you) before I even had a chance to post BLM
Bless you, user. High quality stuff. This goes into the BLM folder.
grey percentile nigger here's a (you)
black lives matter?
Play MNK if you're that much of a shitter
You don't even deserve a (you) for post this dumb.
90% of FFXIV players are shit, I do more damage than 90% of players as a fucking MCH, explain that.
mch is objectively the easiest job
prove it
both DNC and RDM exist
Dilate.
start by counting the buttons on mch
then factor in even the slightest amount of RNG in rdm and dancer's active rotation
mch literally just rotates through a 3 button combo and uses 2 buttons on cd, paying attention to nothing else. not that rdm or dancer are the mental olympics either, jussayin.
No shit, I still remember the Trial Roulette Titan HARD where 4 people got pushed off throughout the fight, prolonging it a lot longer than it had any right to be.
There are healers that deal 0 damage (not even casting one Bio as SCH or doing anything when they don't need to heal) and I had a level 70 SMN that didn't cast Bio nor Miasma at all (and of course no Bane, Trisaster etc) until the end of the dungeon when I explicitly told him that he should consider using those after noticing that it was a slog to get there and there were no DOTs on enemies at all.
>Calling avoiding the bad and still dpsing isn't fucking challenging.
Can't argue with data senpai. BLM is factually the job with the biggest disparity between player performance on fflogs. If it wasn't challenging (in comparison to its peers) then player skill wouldn't be all over the place.
Thinking about trying this but I have shit for experience in WoW like MMOs. I want to play a tank, so what is babies first tank for my scrub ass? I kinda want to play the dark knight because of edge but I heard they are kinda hard.
None of the tanks are hard in 5.0 and all of them play mostly the same.
None are hard though they don't really play the same like the other guy said. They have a lot of similarities though. The dark knight is my favorite of them mainly because its main protective skill or bread and butter even you could say, which is The Blackest Night, is more fun to use than anything other tanks have.
PLD if you want a healer with a sword
WAR if you want to absorb damage with self healing and big max hp and like seeing biggus dickus direct crits with high burst damage
DRK if you like edge and want the best single target damage mitigation in the game (TBN)
GNB if you want the most consistent DPS and like giving healers heart attacks
>rotation gaem hard
Fuck off and die, back to /vg/
...
I guess it's relative. I mean, I wouldn't say English is hard yet here you are, failing at it.
>biggus dickus direct crits with high burst damage
Is this still true for 5.0?
mch is the war of dps
unga 5 gcd in hypercharge so hard
Xenoglossy stack juggling is a high art no one expects Yea Forums plebs like you to understand.
yea, but now ALL their damage is in that burst window. it evens out to be roughly the same as other tanks' damage.
>tfw too scared to start e1s
Difference here is we're actually talking about the game, which is what Yea Forums is for. If you check /vg/ those degenerates don't actually do this, just avatarfag and waifufag in between bouts of drama. But hey, sorry about taking the place of another smash thread or fire emblem thread, wouldn't want those to be in /vg/
blm dps is what you make of it, if you end up getting interrupted it gets fucked over
>synched down
>forgot I don't have two polyglot stacks anymore
>let it overwrite
AAAAAAAAAAA
I don't do sync'd content as BLM. Worst job in the game for that.
How did FF14 manage to avoid falling into the cum cranium trap that other game threads have
because there are things in the game actually worth talking about

lads is E1S too easy?
It's week 6 senpai. Of course.
>Worst job in the game for that
That's not DRK or SAM (pre-70).
Actually I find it very good as long as I have B4
lmao I pulled this off when mch was still "unplayable" in stormblood.
Spamming 5.0 heatdab aka pseudo Inner Release is nothing special kid.
UNLEASH DILATIMA
don't forget RDM actually has cast times, DNC and MCH are both far easier

Fellow black mages, Have you any advice on how to alleviate the thrumming energies in thine staves after landing a direct critical Fire IV?
who let this nigger mage inside
Is that really that guy's only face?
Ammo made the rotation more stable than it actually seemed. Outside of ammo windows it was all RNG yes, but you had to actively check your hotbar for procs.
Using your first combo hit 3x without getting a proc sucks, but constantly getting procs makes you feel like an absolute unit. There was a certain equilibrium to, but now it's just mindless 123 spam.
Did you not get the memo to unleash dilatima?
free xp for taking a nap desu
MCH is the most unfun piece of shit job in the game. It has never been fun. Not in 3.x, not in 4.x, not in 5.x
People generally have only one face, lizard man
the fact RNG was an element in any capacity warranted a rework
>download nude mod for character
>Jack off
>Instant regret and depression
BUT WHY?
What? I don't understand this plz explain I'm still leveling RDM
RNG is an element in several jobs right now, the fuck are you talking about
Because you modified that game and that is against the ToS.
>Was
My bard has some questions for you.
Modding is allowed if it doesn't give you an advantage over someone else.
>RNG BAD
>123 SPAM GOOD
yes, and it is a quality that is tolerated not praised
people only brought bard because of synergy
good statics give dancers the boot
BLM procs are chanced resets instead of pure player control
there's nothing good about them
cursed thumbnail
quarantined over at /vg/
>X HAPPEN BECAUSE DICE GO SPINNY
>PRETTY LIGHT MAKE HAPPY
oh this is good
Your typical MNK main
you robbed your toon of their innocence
fuck off
i earned those procs fair and square
He's talking about embolden. Increases your magic damage and the party's physical damage. So more casters dps= less value. Don't worry too much if you enjoy the class its nothing to really fret over unless youre playing for parsing score attack
>i earned those procs
I know this is bait but before you complain about rotation RNG you should complain about CDH RNG which literally gives you double damage completely out of your control
>Finally caught up with everyone
It feels so weird not doing MSQ. What do i do now? I have level 50 gathering classes that i should level up. I wanna do the titania EX but Jesus Christ people can't do normal right. Also What the fuck we are an ascian all along and that hush finger to baby Albert is not helping. Also it was kind of werid that mommy crystal is a primal and crazy when my brainlet Mind came up that we weren't influence by primals because we already are. I miss him already
RDM should just get en-spell, haste, and/or refresh. For a support dps they have virtually no support and it's kinda sad to watch.
Okay, and I do love RDM to death. I also have bard levelling and dislike how little straight shot matters in favour of proccing bloodletter/rain of death.
>Dilatabrea, look what you've done.
Yea Forums pls help, how do i make a Marty glamour for my MCH?
I'm sorry but why would your static have 2 casters?
It's no use trying to argue with these cretins.
They complain about RNG when the game is literally filled with it almost everywhere.
Healing and raise is support.
Who would you use your going into games machine on? For me, it's Ryne
Yeah its pretty messed up. We know truly understand what the Archbishop meant during his encounter when he said "WHAT ARE YOU?!"
Healing and raising is healing.
Buffing and debuffing is support.
Binding and sleeping is crowd control.
You'll never use healing other than to dualcast verraise.
>no one dies
>suddenly you have no support
it's lackluster.
and who says it's not something they're considering?
dev team has even mentioned it being a pain to account for those in encounter design
>Ryne when Sadu exists
Low test
why would you assume I have static retard? I'm obviously talking about pugs
God I wish that were me
>no one dies
>suddenly you have no support
Well the job in Final Fantasy always had it's niche on being able to use both white and black spells. If you're destroying everything and you don't need the white part, then might as well just bring a BLM instead. I suppose in XIV you could say a similar concept applies.
>Xaela trash
No thanks.
>tfw finally finished post-ARR last night

Stay a Hyur or go back to being a catboy?
More proc-reliant job = worse/weaker/unwanted job.
look at the numbers. There isn't a single proc-heavy job in this game that is anywhere near the top of the DPS rankings.
>wants to be dominated by a literal in lore tranny
Khloe
Go back to SMN.
>There isn't a single proc-heavy job in this game that is anywhere near the top of the DPS rankings.
BLM?
Also, procs have nothing to do with the job being strong or weak because they average out over a long enough fight. MCH used to be top dog in Heavensward back when it was all procs. You're just a retarded fucking monkey who doesn't know how the game works.
>being a male miqote
LMFAO
You defiled yourself by debasing your character which is an extension of your ego

>he doesn't want to bang an explosions crazy warrior girl
Look at this little sun and laugh.
If you think BLM qualifies as proc heavy then I don't know what to tell you
Both of your characters look like fags
It feels so wrong.
I was using the job's history in Final Fantasy to show how the concept of RDM being lackluster when you're in a situation where healing/raises are not necessary is not new. I wasn't implying FFXIV is a turn based RPG or anything of the sort. If you don't want to have a conversation you can just not reply.
stay hyur
Continue reading the post and you might glimpse some knowledge, mongoloid.
Exactly. Why are their legs so fucking far apart?
You think BLM is a proc job, your opinion is meaningless
Nothing more frustrating than running dry on something outside of my control.
It takes some next level cuckery to praise that shit.
There's no opinions, only facts.
Jesus Christ dude, READ it.
Speaking about MCH.
What the fuck is with their run and idle animation?
Their sprint animation is godlike but the run and idle look so fucking stupid.
hope you enjoy kinosward, eventually kinobringers as well
it's a variant of lootboxbrain fags
seeing something "go right" for them flips primitive switches
Pretty sure job-unique sprint animations didn't even exist at the start of Heavensward.

Hey Yea Forums, you guys seem to like BLM alot, I'm currently almost at the patch quests for SB, my BLM is level 30, what rotations do you suggest for PoTD and HoH until I get into ShB content?
I'd like to give BLM a try, was kinda nice, but if I'm firing off as many explosions as most rotation guides are telling me, it sounds like BLM will be alot of fun.
Plan on getting NIN, MCH, DRK, and GNB to 80, using DRK for story and then leveling the rest after. Thanks for your time.
P.S wanna feel like Lysithea and drive fear into the hearts of armored enemies LOL.
Zoomer Emblem yikes
Just throw fiery shit and go ice for MP regen, no one cares about a PotD/HoH rotation since most mobs die in 2-3 hits, sometimes even before you finish a cast
hear me out:
glamours but for abilities
>old skill anim you miss, or ""upgrade"" you dislike?
>glam it
No.
Blogpost aside. It's hard to do the BLM rotation right under potd and hoh because the enemies die really really quickly. BLM benefits from long fights where don't have to move and actually do shit constantly.
But starting from level 60 onward, on fire phase get into the pattern of doing like 3-4 Fire 4 casts then Fire 1 to reset the timer. Or less depending on movement. And use Sharpcast on Thunder 3 to hold a proc for later so it won't run out mid firephase and to weave in an ogcd.
I'm barely a level 23 pugilist
Will I ever be cool enough to play with people?
>I plan on doing all this stuff that takes me 300+ hours, I'LL DEFINITELY DO ALL OF IT AND NOT DROP ANYTHING give me advice on useless shit that I'll probably never experience and wouldn't need advice on if I just played the game?
epic
big thing is enabling as much time lobbing fire iv as possible
I miss Grenado Shot too.
I'd be up for it.
I prefer RoH over RA ant day of the week.
Also, fuck Soul Siphon.
glam is endgame and you can do this shit with things like smn pets
sure
BLM is fucking shit it's just got a lot of bandwagon fuckers praising it now because it's overpowered
Leveling up as a BLM was terible in PotD because of it was always either me doing all the damage or not being able to get a cast off.
Might as well also ask, what do BLM do for Materia. Mine is only level 60 and using shire gear, so I know it's not gonna make much of a difference, but I don't see what else to use these lower materia for anyway.
>glamours but for abilities
Not a bad idea, WoW has this, the problem is that the devs will instantly whine that they have to animate shit and they're out of manpower despite having the largest crew out of all Square projects right now.
>dancer partners you (BRD) instead of the MNK or SAM
On the one hand, you're wrong. On the other, I want people to stop bandwagoning to my jobfu. I didn't mind when people avoided BLM because the """meta""" demanded raid utility and we quietly kept getting buffs.

Do they really? I mean, ever since fflogs stopped caring about DNC padding I haven't seen anyone whining over partners. People just don't really care anymore. Hell I don't care and I'm always the one getting it when I pug by virtue of being 470ilvl and usually having more HP than melee as a BLM.
>play NIN
>DNC partners the MNK
>switches and partners you after the MNK dies
Is this what NTR is like
Don't crop out the other 2 fights senpai.
FotM chasers don't deserve justification. You might as well defend mmo trenders and cutscene skippers who're only playing this game because it's popular now.
Is it okay to play as my NIN/MNK through Stormblood? I hear they're both shit now but I don't know how much the changes made really apply for levels 60-70. Should I just continue with DRG after I finish HW?
I haven't even done them yet lol
I was told that apparently autoattacks fill their gauge therefore always partner a melee when you get to one. But Im not really sure. Need to reread tooltips.
Still.
NIN main here.
Which tank has the most amount of weaving pre-70?
GNB came almost close, but I run synced content a lot with lower-levelled FC members, so it ended up just feel incomplete to play.
Is the DRK the only one at 50-69 that feels fun and weave-y?
>they're both shit now
What retard told you that, both of them are great
>NIN
>great
user...
It's still better for the group if you partner the BLM with ridiculously padded gear then getting more from autoattacks. Unless you got like a MNK with padded gear in the same group but in PF, what are the odds?
>MNK
literally the best DPS in the game now
>NIN
5.08 bandaids made them pretty good, albeit still with an incredibly clunky, ping reliant rotation.
No idea why you'd think they're bad.
I don't see monks crying all the ninja switched to monk
>What retard told you that
Most of the people that frequent these threads
>what is patch 5.08 buffs
They aren't permanent. Yoshi-P said it's just a bandaid.
>I don't see monks crying
Saw one last thread like 2 hours ago. And wasn't the first one I ever saw either.
Why does WAR have a better party-wide defensive cooldown than PLD?
Fuck thats pretty good
>It's still better for the group
It's better for the DNC as well. More rDPS for him.
a bandaid until the real buffs in 5.1.. so it's going to be even better
E3S is so easy and boring how do I motivate myself to actually get around to finishing learning/clearing it
>do attack
>it direct crits
>woot nice
>this makes you a cuck-lootboxfag

If it's so easy then literally just go in, run it once, clear, move on. 10 minutes of your time lost. I bet you spent more than that in this thread doing nothing.
>Parse 70-80, sometimes even 85 or higher as BLM.
>Still no E1S kill despite trying with multiple pugs and my FC for the last five weeks.
I am so fucking sick of dying to enrage, it's unreal.
if it's so easy then why didn't you clear it yet retard LMAO
Stay Hyur, but remove the highlights and get a better haircut.
Because voidwalker was peak eden and levi was a disappointment in comparison.
Enemies in PotD/HoH tend to die so fast that you're lucky if you get hardcasted Fire 3 (Enochian) -> Fire 4 out before your three other pals have already murdered whatever you were targeting. Just use Swiftcast (and in HoH, Triplecast as well) judiciously and try not to get too mad about never getting to hit anything besides the boss at the end. Practice the proper single target & aoe rotations elsewhere, like on dungeon runs or on a dummy. Then move on to doing them in a real fight where you also need to move. You'll get the hang of it.
There's no fucking way you're dying to enrage if you're parsing purple as black mage, fucking none. I don't believe that for a second. Do you have any idea how bad the rest of the party would have to be for a purple BLM to die to enrage in E1S?
what drives people to autistically farm savage if they aren't doing RMT carries? best in slot is pointless in this game.
On the plus side, pugilist is the best 1-30 class story in the game. Good job picking that.
Wrong, it was very fun in 3.x and is very fun now.
Surely you mean archer. I miss Silvairre.
>pugilist is the best 1-30 class story in the game.
You misspelled rogue, arcanist is also debatable but it really drops the ball at the end after it gets serious
I don't know how I haven't lucked into a clear with a pug, but my FC has:
>A healer who does sub 300 DPS.
>A RDM who pulls less damage than our tanks.
>Tanks that are grey parsers.
>At least three to four deaths per attempt spread across the run.
Our best enrage as an FC was 18%. In pugs, I regularly see 3-6% enrages.
Let me see those logs.
Fucking sucks how the game introduces you to a bunch of cool characters then proceeds to drop them like hot garbage the minute you hit 30. Jacke deserves to be relevant again.
caster here, quit being a faggot and use the god damn countdown. 15 seconds of your life is not going to kill you.
>>A healer who does sub 300 DPS.
Is it a whm who's only damage source is Assize? Either way tell him to dps or kick his fucking ass. Literally dead weight.
>pull timer in WoD
>implying all other 23 mouth breathers won't pre-pull anyways
Jacke and the rogues show up in almost every NIN story and are a major part of the 60-70 one
For real? That's great to hear then. I only just got into Heavensward so I really haven't seen them in a minute.
The tank there is being a fag
t. Tank that does a 5 second timer
War got back their inner beast animation, now if I could get back SMN's miasma 1/ruin 1 animation, I'd be even more happy.
Dude, Jacke and Oboro seduce a femroe pirate captain at a hot spring while you search through her underwear, it's the right kind of ridiculous
any good youtubers or let's play for people playing this game fresh?
>implying your party's healer/RDM/DNC won't just facepull it before you even start a countdown
For me, it's Hilda
Why would a RDM do that, RDM wants a countdown more than anyone else. They start their rotation with a full 5 second cast.
real fem elves look nothing like this
>DRK somehow worse than it was in SB
Fuck, just roll it back, I didnt even mind the dark arts spam if I could disrespect dungeons like I used to with abyssal drain and all that extra mp regen from quietus blood weapon
Not really, the best you'll get is Pat
whos pat?
You're giving your average roulette hero RDM too much credit. Some of them don't even use the melee combo
I feel like I could have still shuffled around the image size and the size of the action icons to make it more readable as a thumbnail like the original is, but I'm glad anons like it
I'm glad I reread your post and saw "story" because I was about to call you a retard for thinking PGL is the best class
Not gonna directly link the logs, but it usually goes:
70 BLM
45 BRD
15 DNC
3 RDM
10 DRK
(pug tank since we're missing one)
5 SCH
1 WHM
Yes
Our problems aren't limited to him. He has a minor excuse for literally being brand new to MMOs and leveling from 1 to 80 in two months to catch up to us. The RDM is pure trash though, he shows up to raids stoned, he runs mechanics into other people, and even when he turrets and has no worries, he's still awful. And he's been playing MMOs for over ten years.
Is the theme of Titan Maximum after Orogenesis the Primals version?
the black dude from super best friends play
God, the autism is surreal.

At least show a better pic.

I might actually switch to GNB just to help them out a little. I don't know if I'm really allowed to bitch at them because I'm playing the easiest role.
400-800dps SCH in my group btw as well.
73 on Primal
And people were saying that the game will be dead after Classic release lol
>Not gonna directly link the logs
then you're lying, perish
Well if you want to compete like that, it's 76 here now.
Also, who the fuck even said that? I doubt they meant it, that's a fucking retarded thing to say.

FUCK FINE.
Thanks for the advice, will try it out, see if I end up liking BLM.
Really? Awesome
I just picked it because I like punching things
I'm still on the trial
When I hit 35 how far into ARR story will I be?
It is a pretty rad ship
Yes, this is how like 1/2 of healers play. Most content only requires 1 healer to do any healing, especially once people are geared. Most healers are complete shitters that do nothing and get carried.
everyone always shit talks void ark but i thought it had a cool aesthetic
Fucking this.
By 35, you'll either have done Titan or be on the quests to unlock Titan. After that, ARR gets better and the Titan unlock quests become a meme in the community and in the writing (a dialogue option in Shadowbringers mentions how ridiculous it is). You'll still got a fair bit to go, and after you do the final 2.0 dungeon, Praetorium, you'll enter the long haul of around 101 quests in order to get to Heavensward. Be sure to unlock Monk at level 30. While the Monk quests are nothing to write home about, you need to be a monk to get new abilities which will make your class more fun and give you more to do.
It has pretty neat looking gear too. Too bad it never it fucking drops
>20 runs still missing Fending Boots and Legs
>See enough Scouting pieces to make the set 4 times over
>yo dude let's change the textures for this drg and only drg chest piece that's like 3 years old to make it not match with the rest of the set anymore
literally why
The fights in it aren't very exciting, but it is fun to pan the camera around while you're running through it
>just picked it because I like punching things
Good choice.
Enjoy PGL, if you like the idea of punching things really fast you will adore MNK later on. It's simple, has gotten some really neat QoL recently and overall really fun but doesn't
change too crazy either like other jobs do at
higher levels.
You will be at Titan, which is where the game actually starts to pick up a little.
When am I suppose to use Reprise?
I feel like it was a mistake to do the Rising quest as SAM, it looks weird in the couple screenshots I took how there's two Samurai standing around
As a healer, who are your favorite tanks to get in a dungeon?
For me it goes something like this
WAR = DRK > PLD > gap > GNB
WAR can get back like 50% of its own HP every 25sec with Nascent Flash so it's very nice to have them in a dungeon.
DRK get a 25%HP shield every 15sec, they are also incredibly comfy to play with.
PLD can heal themselves but until WAR and DRK its actually a DPS loss for them so it kinda suck, at least HG can make it a bit more smooth.
GNB in comparison is kinda....well, underwhelming?
Camouflage is a good CD for big pulls but it still pale in comparison to WAR and DRK ability to sponge/heal damage
>DRK gets back Power Slash instead of constantly jumping like a retard when using Soul Eater
>Scourge instead of Bloodspiller
>Replace dps-combos on tanks with animations from enmity combos which overall look more impactful
>Leeches and Exhalted Detriment return
>Give Art of War the same animation as Miasma 2
When a tank buster or unavoidable group attack is about to come out
PLD players tend to be little bitches about their health, let them drop to 80% or lower so I can heal efficiently with ogcds and they start spamming it.
>tying new action unlocks to job quests
this is the dumbest fucking shit ever. I don't give a single fucking fuck about the MCH quests and yet I have to do them for my 52-60 and 70 actions
Mostly Raidwides, especially Stacks. If neither of these exist, use it on Tankbusters. If you coordinate with the other tank, you might end up using it on these simply because some bosses don't have enough raidwides.

>It feels so weird not doing MSQ. What do i do now?
This was my problem.
I was having boatloads of fun drilling through the story while taking breaks to level other classes and proposition guildmates for group stuff on the side.
Once I finished the story, I realized all I had left to do were those side objectives I was doing to take breaks before.
Logging on specifically to level or burn through Eden for the week wasn't engaging on its own, so I just had to drop the game.
At least I'll definitely resub later for a month or two once there's more story content, but all of the good stuff in FFXIV is only good for a first time experience.
How hard are old extremes to solo

If that's normal mode, then no, when your competition is an ocean of mouthbreathers you should be ashamed if you can't get a 90th percentile every time. If savage, you're good, but not great. Tons of trash are getting carried through the first two fights now.

If you don't have Augemented Ironworks Gear, upgrade all your equipment as soon as possible in Foundation. The 51-52 equipment is almost an order of magnitude greater than the 49-50 equipment.
The story had its ups and downs, but overall the MSQ and side stories like Hildibrand etc. were the most entertaining part of FFXIV.
Without that there wasn't anything worth logging on for.
So havent played in a while is the new expansion actually good, and also which classes are strong right now and which ones are weak, thanks.

Because Yoshi-P is firmly in control of Square right now. He can do whatever the fuck he wants.
Because she's not a real loli, she's the ghost of a loli that was kidnapped, dragged into the desert, raped, and then murdered and buried in a shallow grave
Wait, how did they get away with that
Anyone a bit weirded out how parsetrannies have invaded FFXIV threads and even /vg/?
Before savage came out people were laughing at how "meta" they have to get. Just yesterday I saw someone get mad because one of their party members was a SMN and not a BLM. Don't tell me everyone's become the monster they laughed at before.
See for yourself
they're kind of tied with that metric

Buy a few more retainers, fill them with literally whatever is over at least 300 gil (or if you have a 99 stack, do whatever). Eventually someone is going to buy whatever you put up. Or the market will crash like every dye except Jet Black always does.
it is when fucking up once as a BLM is equivalent to another class fucking up multiple times
Use them on cooldown except Jump, you want to time it with Geirskogul (use Jump > Mirage Dive > Geirskogul).
Your main priority as a 70+ goon is to get 2 dragon eyes and go into life of the dragon constantly, Nastrond is your heavy hitter from now on and learning how to maximize LotD time and constantly shit out nastronds is what separates the good goons from the bads

Alright thanks user, one more question. Is it best to have direct crit materia or crits, for healers and dps
>GNB
>Dogshit
How?
>ranged physical
>effort
hey girl
A good WAR is the best because you don't really have to worry about healing them too much. They do it for (free). They also tend to be the type to do big pulls just so they can swing their AoE dicks around.
DRK is pretty good because they similarly tend to pull large and do decently in packs, and TBN is nice.
Gunbreaker's okay. They're the most fragile and have pretty lackluster AoE potential, and at least half of the Gunbreakers you get are braindead, but the actual tanks that switched to playing Gunbreaker can do well with it. It still has the most trouble actually handling large pulls but still not enough trouble to make it impossible.
Paladins are in a weird spot because they should be totally fine at handling packs and have phenomenal AoE damage that could easily outpace everybody, including Warrior, but they're the most likely to not pull big. And if they do pull big they're also likely to be the type of fuckers that spam Clemency on themselves when they get to 60%.
Ultrash detected.
stat priorities vary by class, and I don't know them by heart

How do I go about leveling up a lvl 1 job, I hef no sidequesties left lol
To make it fit my narrative
hey girl
Potd
Back when I started playing around 3.4 or something, I used the ilvl90 artifact gear for my job well into the Heavensward leveling experience. I don't think anyone called me out on it either, I just eventually decided that the stat gains from all the freebie gear from the MSQ ought to be worth the bother of managing my inventory and learning how glam works by now and started using better gear.
Oh, I see
Carry on then
Wander the world and kill shit, clear your hunting log, and do fates til you can run dungeons with your squad
You can easily reach 16 for Sastasha with hunting logs alone.
Based. Thank you fellow wizza.
>Despair > Manafont > Fire 4 > Despair
Shit, is this actually a thing people do? I’ve only used manafont for more flares during AoE
It depends on the time of the expansion for DPS. For healers, ALWAYS crit. Heals can't direct hit, but they can critically hit, so it's just better to invest in crit for healers.
Critical hit tends to scale better than direct hit, so critical hit becomes stronger the more of it you have. So, the later into an expansion, critical hit is better. Direct hit is stronger at its base level, though. So, this early in the expansion, direct hit is stronger. But it's also a marginal difference so just go with whatever you feel like.
>[practice][duty completed]
It's the single-target equivalent, pretty much. Manafont's basically a free Flare or free Despair now since Blizzard spells cost 0 MP coming out of Astral Fire with ShB BLM.
>Hyped for the idea of housing manquins
>They start with only 2 races, ok that's a bit weird
>Equipping them also permanently fucks over your retainer's ability to sell things, to the point where you can only have like 3 fully equipped mannequins at one time before running out of slots
Spaghetti code please understand

>Tfw have all classes above 50
Thank fucking god I never have to go through the hell that is early game leveling ever again. Levels 1 - 15 is enough to drive a man to suicide
Not if you don't live right next to the data centerd
Well now I feel like a brainlet cause it makes perfect sense to do that but I never put 2 and 2 together. Thanks
I'm not a huge number cruncher so I can't give you the specifics, but of course you want to be using all of your useful resources (like Manafont) regardless of whether you're doing single target or group fights, and to me it makes sense to squeeze as many Despairs out of a single Astral phase as possible, given that it's both a lot stronger and faster to cast than a Fire IV. Manafont gives you enough MP to also use another Fire IV for good measure. You could even throw in an Ether for just enough MP for a third Despair.
I didn't either, no biggie. I think of Despair as "Fire IV finisher" and not "single-target Flare".
Why does everyone say that blm should use aoe when the fire1 + 40% chance free fire3 combo does so much more damage? I'm lvl 50 btw so I don't know if you get better aoe attacks later.

I wanted to lay the moves on her afterwards but I never saw her again.
Your reading comprehension isn't so great is it friend?
I forget, does she have a custom face for real or is it just the ears? I wish she got more spotlight considering I'm pretty sure the quests looking for her were longer than her actual screentime.
He's saying BLM is the easiest job on paper but hardest in raids, not the raids themselves nigga
Yeah, a JoJo reference will give either your retainer or you a makeover
I dun getuh
Her face does seem to be customized according to Garland Tools but it's likely an NPC-specific earring.
yes, how was this not obvious? this is why manafont lines up with major raid CDs, so you can fit 2 despairs in a raid buff window
are you also not refreshing T3 during AF because you don't realize you have mana to cast it once during AF and not lose dispair?
Oh come on, that's cheating.
Sort of, to go into more specifics: Fire 2 is trash. Like it's really almost not fucking worth it unless the tank is a chad and pulled 20 things. And its definitely useless once you get Flare.
FLARE however, its slower but actually worth it, sadly this doesn't become more fluid until level 68, and even better at level 72.
At level 50 your AOE rotation will feel like aids and honestly you might as well be doing single target unless you do get a good tank.
>Rising quest is literally a janny simulator
So just to make sure. My AoE rotation should look something like Fire II > Fire II > Fire II > Flare > Transpose right?
AoE rotations at lower levels are really variable and explaining optimal cases in every scenario would be too much work for something you'll almost never do especially when a lot of it is judgment based
just cast T4 and flare at 3+ targets until you get umbral hearts, then cast more flare, learning the "correct" rotation for every situation is a waste of your time since you'll almost never use it
>have to do it like 20 times to read all the letters
What was even up with that, I got all of the letters from the medium and large bottles in order with no repeats, but then had several repeats of the same messages from the small bottle before seeing them all. What gives?
Wait so you’re saying I should cast Flare then transpose and then flare on repeat? That sounds like it will take fucking forever
Post your playtimes faggots

No, you cast the aoe thunder before you fire 3 -> flare

yes it takes forever, it's still similar damage to most everything else you can do and is much easier

it was a thing back in 1.0 and ARR, I think one guy did all content as a Lancer
Can't argue with data senpai. BLM is factually the job with the biggest disparity between player performance on fflogs. If it wasn't challenging (in comparison to its peers) then player skill wouldn't be all over the place.
The data is "BLM is factually the job with the biggest disparity between player performance on fflogs". The conclusion is your interpretation. Maybe BLM is the flavor of the month so it attracts more noobs. Maybe BLM is so powerful and easy that people are succeeding on it without having to try or get good.

No, base classes edging out jobs has only happened in some niche situations largely related to cross-class (since scrapped), and PvP. Classes are a holdover from 1.X where they were first intended as a total replacement for the game's traditional jobs, then were later reworked into upgrading into traditional jobs.
Just wait until you hit 68 it gets so much better
Hey, the Alpine Coat DOES have a red shirt under it

How do you guys play NIN its like a walking payhone, dialing mudras all the time, unfun shit.
BLM is easy but it requires you to learn every fight in a different way than any other job so it doesn't lend itself well to tourists or people who don't "main" it
How long until RO style expanded jobs?
It's the most Japanese job in the game: Requires asstons of memorization, but it all pays off when you do.
Well fucking fix it already. You make the most money out of any other SE game on the market and can't afford to fix your own mess.

As someone that mods the game: SE has no idea what they're capable of. They have 16 dye channels available each with individual material and glow settings and they only use ~one~
At this point the only thing stopping them is they'd have to hire a guy to rewrite the UI for dyes and they can't be assed to do that.
Thank you

>Between the Lines
>Leave the cat tranny behind you a pancake
I know it’ll never happen but all I want is for them to find a way to add secondary due colors on gear moving forward. E.g. every piece of gear has a main due color that changes the bulk of it, and a secondary dye color that changes things like the trim and other minor things. Other mmos have done this and it adds so much to customization
Most of them you'd struggle to link into another job, the only really ready ones would be Sage (Red Mage? Black Mage + White Mage), Summoner = Evoker if you ignore the reversed order of them from FF3, Black Mage = Magus and White Mage = Devout. Hell, Ninja is already an "advanced job", Rogue is Thief.
