Nothing else to do besides a daily grind.

Gathering don't matter. It's not enjoyable anyway. The only reason people do it is because they can do something else that's actually enjoyable while gathering.

Crafting don't matter unless you want gil, or to be self-sustained every 4 patches when they release some semi relevant progression gear.

It's literally all glamour and tomestones, same as before.

scholars having 5 dots was overkill. i honestly think they shouldn't have Aero either.

i'm actually against crossclassing as it functions right now. all you do now is take necessary cooldowns that are just static increases in dps, or Provoke and Swiftcast. doesn't add depth to the combat and being forced to take arcanist, lancer, archer, conjurer, gladiator and thaumaturge to certain levels no matter what is not fun

you can do it, you just won't get the full benefit of the materia because the secondary stat is capped

>>344332151
Challenge log maybe, but roulette bonuses are still dungeons.

If you're at 1100 spell speed do whatever the fuck you want as long as it doesn't drop.
>>
>>344331946

It wouldn't be that much different honestly. Grade 4's and 5's still command decent prices, and with overmelding, there will be no shortage of demand for materia.

I just think it sucks because if you want to tweak a pentamelded piece, you have to remove all materia and spend an assload of gil to pentameld it once again.

>>344331817

other than those things, can do trial/guildhest roulettes, CT saga raids, and soon deep dungeons

Nigger are you retarded or what

She takes 2.5 seconds to cast but Regen only ticks every 3 seconds. All regens in this game tick every three seconds; maybe slightly more if you stack SS. And besides that, you can micromanage her every cast.

Don't be fucking stupid.

She heals more than Regen, does it faster, costs no MP, can be buffed at will, costs no GCD and has a plethora of other tools.

Maybe if you're a bad Scholar, but in solo encounters shit melts like butter before a summoner can even get through a full rotation, and in longer encounters survivability is more important.

Scholar is the best solo job in the game, rivaled by maybe a warriors health pool being able to let them survive shit like soloing extreme Prima's with lower gear requirements. But a summoner comes no where close to either.

That's either WHM or WAR. Sch is hot garbage for solo play thanks to low DPS.

Dummy dps BLM isn't hard. But BLM have the hardest job of them all to optimize every fight. There is a reason why there is so much disparity among black mage at same ilvl. The difference between an optimized BLM and an unoptimized BLM is astonishing.

Her cast time is 2.5s but her recast time is 3s so she doesn't heal faster than Regen. Fairy heal potency is also weaker than player heal potency, so even though Embrace says 300 potency it's actually closer to 200 potency from a player (half a Cure/Physick/Benific) and only 33% stronger than a Regen tick.

Ive been wanting to level up Bard or MCH for when i dont feel like tanking but i cant decide which one to go with. Im not planning on doing top tier content with it but im wondering what the pros and cons for the classes are vs each other?

>That's either WHM

lel, no.

SCHfaggots love stroking their own egos but the only two classes in this game that can solo anything are SCH and WAR because they're hilariously OP.

WHM can't solo anything in this class because it has the weakest MP management out of all three healers and goes OOM if you start DPSing. Stone III costs a shit ton of MP and if you start spamming it like you should for maximum DPS potential it kills your MP reserves.

SCH can solo because it has amazing MP regen and a fairy to heal you every 2s. It's DPS tools aren't that MP heavy and it has the most sustainable DPS.

WAR can also solo things because of its regen tools and because it has great defensive cooldowns and an offensive toolkit.

Don't meme about shit you don't know. There's a reason why SCH and WAR have solo'd most old EX content and no other class has.

BRD is more about keeping up dots and doing sustained damage, MCH is about burst and cooldown alignment. They both play similarly, but with BRD you have to know your dot timer and with MCH you have to watch RNG procs on your main combo.
>>
>>344336297
I didn't say a single thing about Embrace's potency, I know it's stronger than Regen, that's why I pointed it out in my prior post. I also made this case yesterday.

Also, her cast time isn't 2.5s, it's 2s.

Embrace is 200 Player Potency, making it stronger than Regen at no MP cost, no GCD cost, easier uptime and the ability to shit it out to whomever you please.

This is why SCH is OP and piss easy to play in content. Because the fairy and DT make it broken as shit.
>>
>>344336389

In what world does a SCH parse more than a WHM? For raid content? Sure since accuracy and MP management matter for that shit.

But in solo content burst single-target and AoE is much higher than a SCH could manage.

>>344336493

Nigga you can't tell me a SCH's sub-par DPS is better than a WHM's balls-out Stone III or Holy/Aero III/Assize spam when it comes to solo shit.

Sure if we want to go to EX/content that's meant to be done with a group, you're simply going to run out of mana and your WHM DPS becomes 0 and you die like a bitch, but who the fuck would do group content solo?

I am telling you that because it's the truth.

SCH in THEORY has the worst DPS POTENTIAL, yes, Stone, Sky, Sea tells us that.

The POTENTIAL for DPS is WHM > AST > SCH.
However, in PRACTICE (i.e. real life situations and play) SCH will always come out on top of WHM because WHM can't keep up its DPS.

It doesn't matter if WHM can burst 1000 DPS at the beginning while SCH can only do 900; what matters is that SCH can continually do 900 DPS all fight long while WHM drops off incredibly quickly because it can't sustain it.

If they made WHMs MP regen not suck shit, then yeah, WHM would be DPSing a lot more in raid content.

And what "solo shit" are you talking about? 99% of this game is group content. Even if there was "solo content" to speak of, SCH would still come on top because it can maintain its DPS.

The ONLY time WHM jumps ahead of SCH in terms of DPS is when it comes to AoE DPS in dungeons, because SCH takes fucking forever to set up its AoE damage where as a WHM you can shit out Aero III/Assize/Holy in an instant and kill everything.

WHM has the best burst DPS but it doesn't matter because overall WHM has awful MP sustain.

I dont raid or anything yet since im lvl 53, but I would say Balmung if you are gonna pay for the transfer, plenty of people there, Gilgamesh feels kinda of dead to me, I played for an entire month there and I never talked with anyone there even when I tried to start a conversation. The game in general still feels like a solo mmo though, but at least people are friendly here, I dont RP or ERP btw.

Blame SE for having so many useless servers, whats the point of having 7-9 worlds per data center when most of those servers dont even get more than 500 players at the same time, also of course everyone prefers to play with people, are you stupid? They wouldnt be playing an MMO otherwise, whats the point of having cool shit when your server has literally 5 people connected at any given time. Might as well play single player game.

I loved this game so much until around December when it became clear that it would always erase everything and make old content 99% useless.

Taken down to 2 dungeons to spam, craftable gear still mostly worthless, relic-type weapons getting a reset (oh excuse me you can skip ONE STAGE at next expansions), and content that is either balls hard or insultingly drooling easy, never in between.

I am pretty much waiting for the next expansion so I can just enjoy playing through that and doing a little content again, until then FFXI is keeping me far more entertained. Does anyone know if there have been hints for the next expansion after heavensward yet? I'd love to hear if so.

Holy fucking shit I already fucking agreed with you that in raid content and non-solo stuff SCH will win in DPS output and yet you still wrote this out.

AST was dogshit on release but they've been buffed in literally every patch since then so they're okay now.

They still need a few tweaks to make them perfect, but they're perfectly capable of replacing a WHM. They just suck shit at replacing SCH.

White mage isn't hard, it's best to keep your character, at the very worst, level a new class.
