Incidentally, leveling other classes for CC skills sucks ass.
I decided to grab all the necessary skills for Ninja once I hit 50- and while Lancer was a complete pain in the ass, it was at least doable in a reasonable timeframe.

Asking me to get PGL to 44 is unreasonable. I'm up to 23, but that's only barely halfway.

I really hope they don't boost the level cap in the next expansion. I'm tired of that shit.

They should go with a horizontal progression route like the did with FFXI before they changed a bunch of shit.

Don't bother with getting Mantra unless you end p wanting to actually try out Monk, it's pretty negligible as a crossclass skill. IR and Second wind come within the 15 levels you have to get anyway, so stop there.

I needed B4B so I figure, hey what's +10 more levels on a different class.
It's a pain but I'm pretty busy in real life, so doing Low-roulette daily will get me there before I'm free to play properly again.

Though I'll probably get back to NIN with zero idea how to play properly.

I imagine he meant specs that fundamentally alter the way classes play.
They can't keep adding classes the way they currently are, after all, unless they're content to raise the number of weapon and armor drops from all bosses. It also constitutes an increasingly staggering amount of design work.

This is honestly the biggest issue with the game considering just having flat stats gives little in the way of decision making, the most you ever have is rare occasions where a piece that's 10 item levels lower is superior because of what stats are actually on it.

They've stated they are going to reevaluate stats. Especially stats like Parry.

But stats are a funny thing. There has to exist "shit" stats to make other stats more appealing. Parry is just kind of unique because it's exclusively a tank stat and it's also garbage.

I don't like set bonuses, personally. It just makes "tier" loot the most desirable loot you can find because of set bonuses. It's shit in WoW and it would be shit in XIV. I'm aware it already exists with the Grand Company armor sets. I'm just glad they haven't done anything more with it.

You can start making decent money with ephemeral nodes and unmelded market board gear, which at least on my server is dirt cheap and shouldn't take more than an hour or two of gathering to be able to afford a full set of left side gear. I haven't even upgraded my right side to level 60 stuff because I can just use cheap food to push me past 600 GP.

>>338247876
Yeah I'm slowly making money to upgrade my gear. I had to spend quite a bit of money to first get to 600gp with food buffs so I even have a chance of getting started on blue scrips, but it's easy to make quite a bit from just hidden nodes.

I haven't checked the ephemeral nodes yet. I found one and mined it before checking the market board, then I found out the material was literally going for sub-10gil.

I should be able to get an upgraded scythe (I have a really outdated one) today, which gives me like +30 perception and should make collecting much easier.

You don't collect that shit as is. You gather them as collectables and use aetherial reduction to get tons of crystals, clusters and aethersand. Dawnborne Aethersand sells for 30-45k on my server and if I get lucky, I can get 6 of them from a single node witha 600 GP rotation
>>
>>338247661
It doesn't even have to be set bonuses, it can just as easily be simply having procs or other special effects on gear that isn't just a flat stat. Even if it's just a "oh, I'll do more damage" thing occasionally, something like Ifrit weapons occasionally throwing a fireball at my target would make things a lot better.

The change they made to Skill/Spell Speed was a good start, though, even if it still didn't make that stat super good outside of breakpoints.
>>
>>338248258
Ultros is a meme character so its fitting.
>>
>>338248267
Oh right, that's what you're supposed to do with them. I didn't have the gear for high collectability ratings at that point anyway.

The WAR does path the boss. I Rend the boosted sizzle beam, but we cannot Virus it because we Virused an earlier ability. It also only hits one target so Soil is a waste of Aetherflow.

You can cast adloquium about 15-20 times before you run out of MP. In the one minute gap between the aetherflow cd, you can afford to expend roughly half your MP to stay at a gain.

Why don't they instead of making ebin hard versions of dungeons; instead just increase the stats of enemies on the 50 dungeons and allow people to use their level 60 abilities?

They could continue to make new dungeons and have a huge selection to choose from instead of mindlessly grinding the same 2 dungeons daily for 5months.

But they're too fucking lazy to just like how HW launched with no 50 dungeon having experience making leveling to 51 a complete and total pain

Thinking about it, Phantom Train would made a godly dungeon. It'd be linear as shit, but you could eventually fight on top of it as it's moving, then the final boss would be the train itself. It could even have the music remastered.

Well, at the time of this boosted Sizzlebeam the whole raid has just taken ~24k damage, and then one raid member is hit with a ~14k beam + ~6k/sec dot. Our SCH will usually adlo at least once to help mitigate the DoT, since the whole raid is looking at another ~8k damage shortly thereafter. So, that's 1-3 adlos in this 15 second window, doesn't sound particularly spammy to me.

Considering the dot is only on one target and they're going to be taking more damage than each individual in the raid in that 15 second window, I would have thought it would be the white mage's responsibility to focus heal. You mentioned the scholar popping roused WD, combined with succor and indom/ET succor could easily heal through the raid damage.

>and could keep your attention for awhile.
Since they began pushing the idea of welfare epics, this really hasn't been the case. You would literally get to endgame and be caught up to do peak content in a week. After that it's grind the same fucking raid every week. I remember the long periods of time just standing around the main city doing jack shit.

I'm aware XIV does have welfare "epics" to an extent, but current content is still heavily gated.
>>
>>338250696
>XIV has the most consistent dev inclusion in an MMO I've ever seen.
Yeah, and that's why it's the most successful MMO that doesn't survive (solely) due to the sunk-cost fallacy.

If they were smart, and put a decent-sized dev team behind the game after it started printing money during ARR- going balls-deep on the content updates in HW, it would effortlessly kill WoW. 4 dungeons, rebalanced MOBA-style PvP, a 6-boss raid every 3 months and some other shit like Diadem (if it didn't suck ass) and Palace of the Dead thrown in every now and again? Square Enix would have more money than God.

>>338242912
I don't want the level cap to increase, but I'm almost certain it will. It's just something that people seem to expect from MMO expansions now. But there's really nothing they could add that would actually make a higher level cap make sense. All it does is make the grind to endgame that much more painful, and make all non-cap content obsolete.

Vertical progression is a cancer on the genre. It causes stagnation so fucking quickly but people are fucking morons who won't play unless they have a carrot on a stick to chase.
>>
>>338251068
You'd be surprised. The damage comes pretty quickly, and the WHM's burst AoE is far superior. She will usually tetra the person immediately after the beam hits, the SCH will handle the DoT portion with adlo/physick around this time
>>
>>338251140
>Square Enix would have more money than God.
You're delusional.

The MMO genre is on life support. There are only a few games (XIV being one of them) that can survive off of a subscription model. Pouring that amount of money into the game will not improve returns. Most of the money the developers have been getting have almost exclusively been going toward marketing, because the subscription model heavily relies on a constant influx of new players, which means the game has to be popular.

Just be glad you're getting the amount of content updates we have been getting. Asking for more while they're in the process of developing a whole new expansion is a bit ridiculous with their budget constraints.

Absolutely, but I don't think its so negotiable at this particular point. The reason Adlo helps with massive DoTs is that it will heal the damage from one tick and prevent the damage from the next. Dat's nice

I am unsubbed. I like to keep up with the game to know how it's fairing.

And how is it progressive? Nothing is progressing! there's storylines all over that are incomplete and forgotten, it's the same styled content as it was two years ago just reskinned and every patch after 2.4 until 3.2 were getting steadily worse. I used to be like you where I thought this game was amazing but eventually you'll get tired of how incompetent their dev team is too.

Their team wont mix up the content to add flavor and the two "risks" they took were fucking awful. The Diadem was half assed as usual and the shitty little minions game was a waste of time. I can only hope this new dungeon crawler isn't complete trash too.

Hi, here's your daily life at 60 in this game
>Run dailies
>Spin roulette

>Is it raid day?
>No
>Log out

Speaking of that situation, I created an alt and decided to run a Summoner Scholar. I don't intend to do anything hardcore with her, and I don't like how I have to keep using those things to redistribute my bonuses around. When I get to 60, and I just split the bonuses between Mind and Int and just not care anymore?

>Realize it's boring
The class is basically "blow all your cooldowns in the first 10 seconds then sit and spam split shot and hope for procs while you wait for stuff to come off CD."

Grenado spam on aoe packs is fun I guess.

If you're not planning to do savage content and eke out every last drop of DPS it's fine. 15-16 points is nothing when you will probably have over 1000 in your primary stat.
>>
>>338254146
Keep all the points in INT. INT does more for Summoner than Mind does for scholar.

>no content
2patches worth of content sold as an expansion
>raid tier, savage and normal
Savage didn't even come out until a month after the expansion hit and it's arguably fucking awful.
>seal rock
Also a month after 3.0
>tonnes of story/side quests
Those shitty little "run around talking to assholes and kill 10 enemies" isn't a sidequest you mong it's just a normal quest. I will agree the story was really good.
>3 primals, 2 extreme primals
Yeah, that was pretty cool. That was basically the end game for weeks though.
>8 dungeons
woahe 2.3 patches.
>lots of new gear
lots of new reskins
>10 levels for everything, new skills, new class quests for everything, added gathering/crafting scrips
Why is this listed? Of course there was going to be new skills it's a fucking expansion; scrips is also terrible content.
>>3 new classes
3 classes that are basically 1:1 clones of other classes with a few minor edits. DRK is PLD but more fun, MCH is BRD but can move and AST is WHM but with optional and completely awful shield stance.
>new zones
Big and empty, just like ur head lmao
>new mounts, minions, titles, a bunch of stuff really
3new mounts and a few new titles. Holy fuck stop the presses best expansion EVER.

Honestly HW made a large number of the community quit especially with the FIVE (5) month content hiatus before we got 3.1 which was the /worst/ patch in XIV's history.

Remember to post it in a /v/ ff14 thread when it's online

>>338254146

It doesn't matter really, just put max on whichever one you like more. It's like an accessory's worth of main stat its not a big deal for anything but a6s+
>>
>>338254146
If you're actually going to main both SCH and SMN put your points into INT, because DPS is a pure numbers game while healing is mostly about reaction and anticipating damage, so MND is not that important, and unless you find yourself in a situation where an extra 50-100 hp healed will have saved someone from dying, which is hardly ever, then don't worry about it.

>>338254237
>>338254108
Remember when savage wasn't gear locked so people couldn't actually clear it til a few weeks in when they had enough tome gear? Fun times.
>>
Is it just me or have they fucked with the consistency of good conditions during crafting?

I remember almost always getting plenty of them during level 50 crafts but now it feels like I'm lucky to see 2 or 3 a craft. And with these delinations, it just seems like they fucked with something.
>>
>>338254250
all it is is me complaining, very angrily, that nobody was killing the panzer doll and tunnel-visioned the boss so i had to blow cooldowns to kill it myself

>>338254294
sure a8s is gear locked but on top of that its just a wicked hard fight with unorthodox mechanics, i'd say that contributed more to its very late world first
>>
>>338254237
Ah fuck I accidentally'd the quote.
>>338253749

>>338254294
I do. Savage was fucking awful and the new Savage isn't much better with the whole "one person makes one minor mistake and it's over bucko btw after you kill me I come back to life again haha!"
>>
>>338254294
People complained about the first savage being locked behind gearing up beforehand to attempt, so thats why the included that piss easy 3star 220 crafting this time round for midas savage.

Jesus christ that's stupid
