PUT ME IN COACH I'M READY
>>
>>121464065
The airships can depart every 20 minutes, while there's a 120 minute cooldown on entering a voyage. You only need one FC member present in the party to launch an exploratory mission, and you can bring up to 24 people in an alliance.

If you're still getting excluded when they're that freely available, that's not your FC forming a clique, that's your FC trying to drop the hint that they don't like YOU, specifically, and are waiting for you to leave the FC on your own so they don't have to forcibly kick you themselves.
>>
>>121464038
No, but they'll avoid making DPS checks from now on, and more tank/healer checks and a DPS check by coordination.

So a 24 hour maintenance for basically nothing.

Everything they're adding would at least take 8 hours.

Did they just invalidate the airship exploration on arrival? I mean since you can get the shit from alex savage to upgrade your gear now from hunts there is no reason to do alex savage or airship exploration.

Neither are so bad that they'll hold you back in a meaningful way from anything other than early progression.

If you like playing as a hybrid style and want to be able to do good dps while you have nothing to heal, you should like it.
You can switch to scholar on the same character, but you will have to level it from level 1. Also the base class is called "arcanist". It shares levels with summoner, which means that you also get a dps class for free. Scholar and summoner are two different specializations of the arcanist class.

Comparing to WoW, scholar has the dots of a warlock (like 4 of them), can spread it to all enemies with a single button press, has the shields of a discipline priest while having a smart healing fairy like a shaman totem that can keep a tank alive in easier content while you dps.

You can, but you can also dps just fine on conjurer.
>>
>>121465850
To become a Scholar you need to get Conjurer to 15 anyway.
Since you already meet that prerequisite swap over to Arcanist, level that to 30 (it's a DPS class unfortunately) and then you can become a Scholar.

>>121465850

Yeah DBM and weak auras and other raid tools help a lot.

Every serious XIV raider uses advanced combat tracker's warning feature that does literally the same as DBM. Gives you a sound warning when the boss starts casting an important ability.

1. Lots don't use ACT triggers for boss scripts at all

2. There's a pretty big fucking difference between a timer going "Ding" when a specific line of text happens in the combat log, and an onscreen meter that's counting down eight different things at any given time in addition to specifically adding text in the middle of the screen that tells you exactly what to do

The world progression raiders, much like the video the anon linked, use ACT triggers for basically everything, from boss cds to when it's about to happen, etc.

With that said, both WoW and XIV are shit as fuck at this point and the MMO genre (apart for BnS's PvP) is literally dying in front of our eyes.

It's sad to witness.

You can honestly say the same thing for that archimode clear though.

>>121467174
Yeah, prior to HW there were no Abilities that had any resource cost other than their own cooldown, and I'm pretty sure that even in HW DRK is the only job with skills like that, but it's still not a strict rule.


Napkin math on how the new Shield Swipe will work out in regards to PLD DPS:
- The range of GCD-based damage on Paladin will typically range from a low of GB-RoH-RoH (combos) to a high of GB-RA-RA. That averages out to a range between 238 and 255 potency-per GCD.
- Spirits Within is 300 potency on a 30s cooldown, Circle of Scorn is 250 potency on a 25s cooldown. So they're both 10 potency-per-second, which (at a standard 2.4s GCD) totals out to 48 potency-per-GCD.
- Sword Oath, if it's active, delivers a 50 potency attack (the actual auto-attacks use a different damage formula, but the Sword Oath bonus uses the standard one), roughly every 2 seconds, depending on your weapon. So that's around 25 potency-per-second, if you're in Sword Oath, and around 60 potency-per-GCD.
- The new Shield Swipe, assuming you can use it on cooldown (which is a fairly safe assumption) is going to be 150 potency, on a 15s cooldown, totaling out to the same 10 potency-per-second as Spirits Within and Circle of Scorn - an additional 24 potency-per-GCD.

So theoretically, your Shield Oath damage range in 3.0 is 286-303 potency-per-GCD (not counting auto-attacks, or the 20% damage penalty), and in 3.1 will be raised to 310-327. That's roughly an 8% increase to your non-autoattack Shield Oath damage (which I'd ballpark at about a 6% overall Shield Oath DPS boost).

Your Sword Oath potency-per-GCD range in 3.0 is 346-363, and in 3.1 that'll go up to 370-387. Sword Oath's damage dampens the relative boost you get, but it's still a 6.5-7% boost to non-autoattack (remembering that Sword Oath is not an auto-attack despite triggering ON auto-attacks) damage. That's probably going to amount to about a 5% increase in Sword Oath DPS.

Yeah that is pretty much any clear video for a lot of raid content.

On a clear video everything has been smoothed out for the most part, and you're only looking at the success aspects. People are doing mechanics right and already know how to perform said mechanics, you don't see the weeks on weeks of progression they do to get to that point.

A3S is fairly difficult, in terms of the DPS check that goes into how tight mechanics must be performed to keep perfect uptime in early progression. I would honestly say it is not harder than some WoW mythic raids but it will give anyone that wants it a challenge
