Estinien's ice wifu is gone and him dying ensures Nidhogg's death.

It's been a good run Estinien.

Kill him off.

We need a whole new cast for the next expansion, that we can kill off one by one as well.

God I am so fucking bored with FFXIV. I just bought my third damn house in the game and I can't even enjoy it because of the fucking boring-ass endgame of running the same 2 fucking dungeons forever.

He was right to insult her though, she was a goddamn moron that tried to slaughter thousands of innocent people for a grudge the dragons held against one very tiny portion of the nation's leadership.

I like how he explodes into a purple goo in the questline and when you first meet him in 2.5 if you had DRG leveled to 50 he's all like "Hey bruh, I'm not here to fight ya this time! And ya totally didn't kill me!"

Sadly they probably won't kill him. They will make him flee after you beat him and he swears his revenge and vengeance or whatever. Then the story focuses more on the Garleans for 3.4.

The FFXIV population is honestly THIS hungry and desperate for shipping, aren't they? Poor Alphinaud makes a comment about liking an attractive woman's naked body and all of a sudden him and Y'shtola have repressed sexual feelings for each other.

>>339067901
I'd go as far as to say Ysayle is one of SE's best written characters in years. She had an interesting background that shaped her character, a strong reason for being opposed to you, and her development was not rapid, rather, as she saw the results of her mistakes she changed slowly over time - and was even proven right on multiple occasions.

Yeah I really liked how her story was presented, and as the MSQ progressed I felt more and more for her character. Her last scene was fantastic, despite being heartbreaking, it made me appreciate the character and her journey even more.
>>
>>339068157

i'm sure Raubhan would cut the fucker in half if he has the opportunity

my predictions:

Estinien survives being Nidhogg'd but seals himself away to keep the eyes out of reach forever

Alisaile turns out is working with the warriors of darkness

Hydelayn turns out to be up to something sneaky

Lahabrea survived being absorbed into the eye and is freed when Nidhogg dies

Yda and Papalymo get attacked and its not made clear whether they survive or not

The Hildebrand questline will be disappointing

Maybe try checking if Gilgamesh has any RP guilds. It's the most populated NA server last I heard, so there's probably some people who actually do RP there. Personally, I wouldn't try to RP in this game because most just ERP and the lore kind of sucks, but you do what you want to do, I guess.

Completely change Nocturnal sect and allow to switch in combat.
When you're in Nocturnal sect your healing potency is reduced by X% and your damage potency is increased by X%.
In addition, new effects replace the cards current effects.

Bole: Increase the damage recieved by the target by 5%
Balance: Reduce damage dealt by the target by 5%
Arrow: Reduce physical damage dealt by the target by 10%
Ewer: Reduce magic damage dealt by the target by 10%
Spire: Reduces target's chance to critically hit by 50%

Something like that.

Yeah I forgot to add that ASTs can't use clerics anymore.

Nocturnal sect would need to add extra effects to the damage spells and not the healing ones then because being able to have both shields AND regens at the same time is fucking broken as fuck.

If I remember correctly he kidnaps Raubahn and tries to kill him again but you rescue him before he dies obviously. After that he fucks off and you don't see him again.

During a cutscene you see Yda and Papalymo apparently helping an Ala Mhigan resistance group called the Steel Masks or something and you see a mysterious man pick up a mask. I think this man is Ilberd but I'm really not sure.

>>339078548
ah shit, i hope he gets a bit of a redemption arc. i mean yeah, he'll probably die, but his love for Ala Mhigo is what fueled him, ultimately

Nah we get the two usual dungeons plus the infinite dugeon plus a special dungeon in which you have to choose between doors and if you choose wrong you get booted out of the dungeon.

What is a good venture to send a Botanist Retainer on? Anything that Culinarians need a lot of at max level that they can gather?

It'd be fucking awesome if the retainers could get Coerthan Tea Leaves...
>>
>>339079402
ah shit...are there 10 total?
>>
>>339073876

I was going to say I see events hosted on Balmung every so often, but 90% of the time it's some fucking 'date auction' so lazy fucks can sell their bodies to the highest bidder just to afford a ~15m gil house. Because apparently a FC of 20+ people can't muster the fucking gil themselves to actually make a purchase without whoring themselves.

How are people so poor in this game when there's almost nothing to spend gil on? And don't tell me for gear upgrades. At least 90% of the shits on balmung are absolute garbage at the game who don't give a fuck about their damage output.
>>
>>339076606

>>339079575
They don't do crafting or sell things on the auction since all they do is just sit in town and ERP with each other.

Yup. There are no clues on the chocobo race floor if you wanna know.

>>339073870
It's pretty cool that we're finally getting the in-game version of that scene from the OP.

Didn't occur to me that we haven't seen it play out yet, but in retrospect, apart from the original steps of faith, Ishgard hasn't really been attacked proper yet.
>>
>>339078801
The randomly-generated dungeons have the potential to be incredibly awesome, but then again, so did Diadem. It's definitely looking like a good, meaty patch, but FFXIV has more wrong with it than a lack of content. In fact, I'd say there's too much content and not enough incentive to do it all. And items still lack any interesting facets. Hooray, this body piece has +30 crit. What-the-fuck-ever.

Hey thanks. It's meant to be a wrestling/training area, hence the oriental theme and mats on the floor with open space. I see you went with an Au Ra maid. I opted for some lalafells.

I honestly think most outfits are designed to look best on lalafells first, and then they toss them to the other races.

Yeah, understandable. Also there's a remarkable number of crafters who keep underselling each other, and also a shitload of gatherers keeping them stocked.

>>339079482

Check out highland wheat, mist dill, magma beet, cedar logs, and ramie stalks. They're used pretty often. Pretty much everything but birch logs are shit in the highest tier.

>>339080657

Nothing, I don't think. They'll just be a FC room without being tied to a FC. if they allow you to grow crops in them then, well, the crop market on my server will be even worse.

Mhach sets look like they're cobbled together from various old sets.

That brd on the left is wearing altered soldiery, the mages are wearing more fashionable demon sets and the tank is wearing a recolored PLD AF.

>>339082085
Try the LoA set, it's pretty decent for males.
>>
>>339081876
Yes, it should be less than occasional. You have a few outfits with divided material and a number more that have some kind of feature where the tail would theoretically come out, but it should really be universal considering cats are so common and now there's another race that uses the same real estate.
>>339081957
No argument from me there (or dresses on healers, though at least this time they partly avoided it), but it's not like this is the only game with too much coat. It seems to be a pathology amongst all mmo designers.

>Hooray, this body piece has +30 crit
This is my #1 gripe with the game right now.
Secondaries were more interesting before the changes, at least every job wasn't crit > det > speed back then.
Even back in 1.X though, we had stats like enmity and effects on weapons like fire damage or absorb HP, and armor that boosted job abilities.

I can't take much more of this boring ass gear system.

Doesn't the Noct set actually have a tail hole, but your tail still CLEARLY doesn't go through it?

I agree. Though I could only imagine the garbage I could run in to if they made the gear system more complicated.
>>
>>339082357
I remember that. I think this is more of a problem for catboys due to them having more sophisticated animations. At least cpose finally allowed you to adjust tail position.

The story will go like this. Alphinaud will try but fail to save estinien. Estinien will somehow regain control and allow the warrior of light to finish him off. we might get a cut scene about the warrior of darkness stalking us some more.
>>
>>339082542
>>339082692
They could easily do it though.
Start dropping secondaries on weapons in favor of giving them "chance on hit: fire damage" or something.
Drop both secondaries on a pair of DRG legs for "chance of Jump's CD to reset immediately"
wew lad that was rough! good work boys!
>>
Shit, the trailer looks hype as fuck, especially the part where it looks like Estinien grows dragon wings and does a ultimate Jump attack on the party. I really hope he survives. I doubt he will but not only he's a bro, he's also the only major Dragoon character in the game, and as a DRG fan i really wish we wouldn't lose him.

>>339082965
Estinien will sacrifice himself to destroy Nidhogg's eyes and they'll build a statue of him in Ishgard.

I'm also a DRG main, Estinien is a thick headed idealist and a bit of a tsundere but he was a nice character, especially by the end of 3.0 when he was finally starting to get more tolerant after Iceheart's sacrifice. I was looking forward to see him playing a larger role and maybe even taking up her ideals but he got posessed.

>>339085576

You want to talk about a bad system? How about that mentor status shit?

It just makes me focus on someone, and it turns out that 95% of mentors are absolute garbage, with the rest being decent and maybe 1 person out of 100 being good.

And I mean absolute garbage. Maybe there's something about just leveling up with FATEs for 60 levels but it doesn't prepare them to actually run the damn class, it seems.
>>
>>339085825
That questline was my fav of the expansion. You started out in the forest and with your group of friends climbed all the way up to the very peak of the world.

It felt Final Fantasy as hell and i had alot of fun doing it. Its too bad i ran out of stuff to do in the game. Cause i still miss playing it at times.
>>
>>339085825
i took so many screenshots of that scene, it really was a good one. damn, i may be a bit annoyed with the state of the game, but i loved the HW storyline simply for those group of characters

>try to be a genuine mentor to help people improve
>novice asks if it's a good idea to macro off GCDs on to his GCD skills
>tell him no because GCDs don't queue from macros, delaying your rotation
>another mentor chimes in arguing saying I'm wrong and it's fine, clearly because it's what he does
>post him video evidence of a slower, macro rotation
>"it's still fine if you aren't elitist trash"
The mentor system was a mistake.
>>
>>339085967
Dragoon is the worst offender at low levels, you spend the first 25 levels mashing one button.
Meanwhile when you hit 60 and start managing Geirskogul and BotD it becomes one of the more complex jobs, and there's a ton of off GCD shit on pretty short timers to keep dumping.
>>
>>339085967
Dragoon is one of the worst class to play at low level in my opinion. At level 60 it's really fucking fun though. The funniest DPS with MNK in my opinion.

Yeah the damage is done at the end of the animation but everything is calculated once you hit the button so if a buff runs out before the animation ends it'll still affect the ability.
>>
>>339085878

>Just got to 60 BLM 17 hours ago

Yeah, I'm still figuring it out too. From what I can gather it's like... FireIII>FireIV>FireIV>Fire>FireIV>FireIV until enochain needs refreshing.

Still, kind of distressing I'm doing about 25% more damage at iLevel 180 with an iLevel 170 weapon than BLM in full 230 are doing.

>>339086320
>Yeah the damage is done at the end of the animation but everything is calculated once you hit the button
Yeah, this kinda stuff is really confusing
same with area of effect spells by enemies. Is the damage calculated once the warning-indicator goes away or once the animation actually hits? I remember dying to things I clearly didn't stand in
>>
>>339086458
Just don't dump all your Geirskoguls at once. You can wait a bit during downtimes and still get 3 Geirs per BotD. Never use Geirskogul if you have less than 21s on your BotD and you know there's gonna be a downtime.

I believe you can do 3 Fire IVs in a row during Ley Lines, and get an extra Fire IV in your opener with Raging Strikes and all the good shit like Trick Attack/Litany thanks to Convert and Swiftcast?
I'm not a BLM main though so I'm not 100% on that.

>>339086458
As long as you have a target it's easy to keep going, when you don't have anything to hit it depends on Bloods timer, you can either dump the last of your Blood on a Geirskogul and start with a fresh Blood, or buckle down and stack your Bloods timer so it wont fall by the time you can refresh it again.
>>
>>339086673
The damage is calculated once the AoE indicator disappears. If you were still in the AoE indicator at that moment you'll eat the damage at the end of the animation no matter where you are.
>>
>>339086673
it's definitely calculated like a half second before the animation ends because you can run back into the AoE after the circle disappears and it won't hit you

>its hard to describe. When you hit a button in wow it immediately hits, then plays an animation. In FFXIV its the other way around I think, it feels so strange


I can answer that.

In FFXIV you are right, instead of the "number" when you press a button your character begins his animation and then you are "rewarded" with the "numbers" when the animation hits the enemy (which has more sense than giving the "hit damage" and then hitting), but the game also "knows" when you pressed that button so, even if the enemy moves away during the animation it will count as a hit.

The AOE dodging works in the same way. If you are inside the AOE mark when the cast bar of that AOE ended, even if you move 100000 feet away the game counts that as a hit. It's not good, it's not bad. It's just how the game works.


What I mean is...you shouldn't expect every MMO to be like WoW. Most of the people I played with were wowfugees and they couldn't beat Titan EX because they were dodging the AOE in the same way they would dodge them in WoW and you could hear them crying "this game is shit, this never happens in wow, etc" but they were stupid that were focusing more on the mark on the floor instead of the boss CastBar.

You ever wonder why the GCD is 2.5 seconds? Those are the server ticks. The server updates position/damage/healing/dodges every 2.5 seconds. It might show immediately on your end, but it's not fully-registered by the server until that particular tick is up. This is especially noticeable on boss attacks, DoTs and chocobo racing, if you've ever done that.

IMO they should just delete the pets and instead add spells like the Dreadwyrm trance that invest you with the powers of the Primals and gives you the pet's abilities as off GCD abilities and everytime you use them an image of the primal briefly appears above you and actually uses the ability.

Then add the Beastmaster job to please the petfags.

>>
>>339089474
Ifrit was better than Garuda if you had a MNK, but since they don't like things being interesting Ifrit now deals magic damage instead of blunt damage, so Ifrit and MNK are both in the cuck shed together.

>>339089434
;_; god damn it old man, i still love you

>>339089474

ifrit used to be blunt damage so it synergized with monk, and superior at aoeing than garuda, requiring more control to keep it from dying
>>
>>339089474
On paper, Ifrit beats garuda. In practice however, Garuda beats ifrit since:
She doesn't have to move with the boss as long as she's within 25 yards of it
Her AoE are centered on her target rather than her
Contagion

It was a tossup between the two in ARR, but once we got Tri-Disaster and Dreadwyrm trance, Contagion is just too good to pass up.

>>339086320
So when you use Cleric Stance, does it calculate the damage of any DoTs as if you are in the stance and you can switch off to heal? I've always assumed you needed to stay in the stance to amp the damage.
>>
>>339090160


I still say they need to do something about their progression system. Being locked out of getting so many "X" a week it's really obnoxious.


I get that it's a marketing technique but damn i'll be damned if I haven't unsubbed and resubbed every other big patch.
>>
>>339090539
The damage is calculated when you cast the spell. No matter what stance you're in, if you were in Clerics when you casted the DoT it'll do the full Cleric-buffed damage for the entire duration.
>>
>>339090539
DoTs snapshot, they are as strong as when you casted them initially. This includes any buffs you may have on you at the time.

You can throw up cleric, DoT something, then drop cleric and they will continue to tic just as strongly as they did while you had cleric up.
>>
>>339090539

Yes, it works for enemies that get a damage reduction buff too.

Providing the damage reduction buff they get is big enough, you might want to consider applying your dots again when they drop it.
>>
>>339090539
Correct, turn Cleric Stance on, dump your dots, turn it off whenever.
You can also Bane your dots while Cleric Stance is off and they'll still do full damage to everything they spread to.
>>
>>339090539

dot damage is calculated when you cast it. in the case of Bane on arcanist, it uses the original damage calculation. Bards dots are refreshed with their current buffs when they cast Iron Jaws to refresh them

garuda's Contagion doesn't make the dots stronger if you have her roused/spurred

It has 3 dots, one aoe spell, and one single target spell

vs

4 dots, one attack spell, a placeable aoe dot, spreading applied dots, ogcd attack spell

and

3 dots one of them aoe, an attack spell, an instant AOE ogcd spell, an instant short range ogcd attack spell

It really doesn't have a lot to do when it comes to "raid dps" and it gets fucking laughed at when theres multiple targets. Also their DPS is low and the cards distract them further, especially when you're just trying to get the card combo you want.

>WHM does more DPS than scholar

I know you are baiting but I will humor you.

White Mage has better burst than Scholar but their DPS is pretty much the same if you count total potency and the number of attacks they can do within 3 minutes. But of course the biggest difference here is that WHM has the worst mp management out of all three healers while Scholar has the best.

Now then, in a dummy parse white mage will actually end up higher because:
1. presence of mind
2. Scholar can't use its spell speed trait on top of it being unreliable.
3. mp is limitless

On an actual fight things will go to shit once you realize you can't upkeep dps and your mp as a white mage.

They have roughly the same amount of AOE dps too if you count scholar using blizzard 2

You sound like a guy who doesn't raid at all.

For TRASH mobs, sure, for bosses, no. The only thing I will say about white mage is that in dungeon trash pulls they take care of trash the fastest because Holy, SCH would be second best at this because they will never equip blizzard 2 in a dungeon and need to cast 4 dots ahead of time and AST is just trash AOE overall.

IN ACTUAL PVE CONTENT and not just trash pulls, white mage DPS is actually the worst.

>>339095331
Accuracy is a problem for all three healers, though it affects astrologian the least because they only have one dot (aero) affected by it. Basically all healers have to meld acc to not miss, even scholar. White Mage has the worst of it all sure, but their DPS in an actual fight isn't good.

Same when the tank does a fuckhuge pull, I can't just go crazy with DPS, I need to save MP for healing as well, even as a SCH.

Well sure, you need to refresh regen. If the tank really needs more healing, can always toss down one of the two off GCD heals their way to prime them up.

How the fuck do you struggle with anything other than a8s? How utterly awful does a player have to be at playing the MMO genre to struggle with any content in this game that wasn't specifically designed to extend content life?

Even normal ICC 10man in WotLK was harder than 99.9% of the content in ffxiv.

It's not laziness. WoW was a huge timesink because it stayed true to that hardcore mindset up through TBC. Getting to endgame WoW and clearing it wasn't piss easy; and that was fine when I was in highschool, working part time, and had a lot of time to burn.

I'm an old fuck now; I can't play a game 5 hours a day. I can play it maybe 5 hours a week, and in ffxiv that's enough time to be an endgame raider.

FFXIV has practically become a social media outlet more than a game because of players who wanted in on this MMO thing, without ever really knowing anything other than WoW's 3rd or 4th xpac, but they found that too much of a slog.

MMOs are not for everyone. If you're playing an MMO, and you have this mindset of "well, I have no interest in actually doing the endgame", then you're fundamentally misunderstanding the point of genre.

I am giving you a solid point on White Mage MP problems during fights but you're using as a crutch that no healer is going to have MP problems in a fucking dungeon boss because its a fucking dungeon boss and proceed to ignore every other point brought up. You're also fucking delusional, in an actual 3 minutes of straight DPSing without using Shroud you will run out of MP towards the End, Shroud only lasts 15 seconds. Yes even in a dungeon boss you will reach a point where you should conserve some MP, and no I'm not saying stop DPSing but rather be mindful of how much mana you're spending.

This is more apparent on fuckhuge pulls because Holy will eat up your mana like there is no tomorrow, and the tank actually needs more constant cures on that.

But once again this is ONLY dungeons. You said "most content" as if dungeons are the only content worth doing, try DPSing in a void ark boss and tell me if you're struggling to keep MP up by the end of it.

Also post parses, I'm legitimately curious to see how much damage you do in a dungeon boss with White Mage, I've never had my White Mage grossly outparse my Scholar, they're usually about even unless the boss has adds in which case scholar will win out, so it'd be interesting to see if I'm doing something wrong.

>not understanding the point of playing MMOs

Sorry I must have missed the meeting on that, or the Universal MMO company's mission declaration.

>you're fundamentally misunderstanding the point of genre.

The point of the genre, along with every videogame, is to waste some time and have fun. I could likely accuse you of not getting the point of an MMO if you never master crafting or get to endgame gathering, or get every single asinine achievement in the game.

I work full time and I have friends/gf who spend time with me.

Even if I had 5 hours a day to burn on a game, I wouldn't want to; I grew out of that hardcore mindset for MMOs awhile ago. I enjoy the challenge of endgame, but most MMOs have been 90% maintenance on a character so they can be relevant for endgame, and 10% actually doing endgame. FFXIV expedites the process.

>XIV isn't WoW

Yeah, that's why I play it. Get a fucking job, jesus christ.

You are because you take up space by being less than nothing. Quit the fucking game and go play a single player game already faggot.
>>339097419
No one gives a fuck if you're old or you fucked up your life like a dumbfuck nigger. Get the fuck out of the MMO game if you can't fucking put time in, stop fucking the genre up for people because your fat wife won't let your fuckboy ass play video games.

Neither the tank nor the melee dps moved out of range half the time, the smn did. But I fucked up sometimes too. I was just losing my mind trying to keep track of all the debuffs. Also my heals were kinda shit I think, no maim and mend 2 yet.

Go do it in a dummy right now. DPS for 3 minutes without using Shroud.

I should have just said nothing and he would've dodged at least 50% of it.

No, you retard.

The fundamental point of EVERY type of game is to spend time entertaining yourself.

The MMO genre is specialized towards games that never end, in the truest sense of the phrase. They're designed to be high time investment games that can only be truly completed through cooperative play.

If you're not doing that challenging cooperative play, then you're not actually completing the game. There's really no point in playing an MMO if you're not going to do that content. There's plenty of other genres where your pace is the only pace that matters; MMOs aren't one of those genres.

You can bitch back at me as much as you want, but it's not going to change that fact.
