Let's keep talking about future content and jobs.
I'm bored of grinding through boring story quests and dungeons aren't that great either, level 40-45ish
does it get better? my membership is up soon and i don't think i'll continue it
>>339621473
>Let's keep talking about future
game is dying...
>>339622152
It hasn't even begun. There's a fuck ton of filler between lvl 50 and Ishgard.
Though it gets pretty fun if you can get through it.
>>339622152
>does it get better?
>tfw they aren't a femroe
>>339622152
It's a Final Fantasy game, expect the whole leveling till 60 to be story driven.
That said, the plot gets much better when you reach 50 and the leveling from 50 to 60 feels like a real Final Fantasy game.
If you are here for raids and stuff, you get this at levels 50 and 60 but don't expect them to be "large dungeons" like in WoW. The raiding in FFXIV is more about killing the bosses than clearing a path inside a dungeon.
>>339622619
what the fuck is wrong with the lighting in this game
estinien needs to die
>>339622619
(female)(roegadyn)(master)(race)
>>339622764
There's nothing wrong with Lightning in this game anon.
>>339623094
Lighting != Lightning
Dragoons, in Dungeons where do you stop AoEing, at 400 tp? Sick of being the only party member AoEing at then getting left with no tp with 4 enemies left.
Even a fucking Paladin should be Goring everything.
>>339622645
>that pic
My favourite part of Heavensward's story, felt so Final Fantasy.
When will there be incentive to continue subbing that isn't savage raiding or <4 hours of new content every 3 months?
>>339624384
Never. Prease rook forward to it.
>>339624719
Was afraid of that. Guess that's why my FC and Friend's list were dead when I resubbed for a month at 3.1.
Stay in your collective safe zone SE.
So how is raid finder even going to work
>>339622152
Dungeons will have decent scenery but they do not get anymore interesting. Optional paths range from nothing to a ten yard hallway in plain view to a shitty treasure chest that most groups will just ignore. They do not get better at all, so have fun.
Is this more fun the GW2?
>>339622152
Try to at least reach 50, although the grind will just go from leveling to doing all the godforsaken story missions to reach Ishgard.
But if you're really not enjoying it it's probably a good chance to just not resubscribe.

at least they became kinda cool

With all due respect, anon.
FUCK
THE
SCIONS.
>>339626685
I stopped caring about the fucking scions after that scene >>339622645
I only wanted a "happy" ending for my party. Be friends with them and them helping us on a high end story content.
>>339626801
They're are only not friends at this point.
Can I join the Garleans or Ascians at his point?
>>339626553
I thought I was the only one. I guess not.
>>339624880
Wow do you not have friends
Its who you play with.
I play with IRL friends and online friends. If you arent having fun then well leave no need to pay monet towards something you dont enjoy.

Yeah but he was a cool fag like freddy mercury
>>339627212

Deftarm had better be in our party for 4.0.
>>339622152
The only time the story gets good is at the end of ARR + its patches. The rest is filler shit of the worst kind.

Just redubbed from a year ago. All I got is my 34 BLM but I'm having a lot of fun. Any jobs I should prioritize?
>>339628573
BLM is the best job so you're good.
>>339628573
get archer to 34 for quelling strikes and arcanist to 34 for eye for an eye if you want
>>339626553
WAR, NIN, and SMN were the correct choices
PARKER I WANT NUDES.
NUDES OF Y'SHTOLA!
Lets discuss why rdm was a shit job in XI and would make a shitter job in XIV.
Red Mage in XI brought the complete delusion that you were a jack of all trades by giving you balanced stats all across the board but also giving you unique spells specific to you that focused on either enhancing you and only you or just being an enfeebling nuke. It was a garbage job that people only wanted for having heals alongside the debuffs which was far more desirable than the white mage who was only good at healing.
So why wouldn't it translate well into XIV? How do you put a class thats a jack of all trades into an MMO with a holy trinity system? How would it fit in with the already existing BLM and WHM if they use specific elements to themselves.
>>339628489
You did, just a little bit before the Bismarck story fight
>>339628672
For each role it should WAR/SCH/SMN
>>339628483
he was not knocked out but dead ;))))
>>339628489
Fuck yes, I didn't even remember. It was just at the beginning of the expansion....I think?
>>339628702
Alphie thinks the world of us. Maybe if we asked nicely...
>>339626698
In what conceivable way are the scions cool or at least worth any time?
>>339628738
I guess robotically nodding is technically conversing.
How do I stop rushing myself?
I always feel like I have to get through content as fast as possible to reach endgame and I don't feel like enjoying myself. I want to do the extreme trials for ARR to get the mounts but I feel like I'm hindering my progress to Heavensward endgame and it bothers me.
>friend's list
>deleted, deleted, deleted
>check raid linkshell
>80% of the people are gone and im the linkshell leader now
time for a break
>>339628872
Stop thinking like it's a "normal" MMO and think it's a Final Fantasy online game.
>>339628863
You know how it is with those emperor types, very one sided conversations
>>339628647
Quelling is a crutch for shit tanks, it's not in any way essential.
>>339628872
Believe me when I say that you'll have more fun if you do what you actually want to do. Primal Mount farming is as good an activity as any. Also: you get cards and glamour weapons.
Who here /ps4/? Fucking already running low on keybind space
>>339629137
Someone who has never had a good MCH on his team
>>339628647
Quelling is useful but not so mandatory that he has to level an archer to 34 before continuing with his blm.
It's not like blood for blood for Ninja's.
Will the new raid finder be usefull for Coil? I got the game when HW was about to come out and never did it.
>>339629304
You're right, I actually haven't. Almost all MCH players I've been paired with are ass.
>>339629620
Well it is legit one of the harder classes to actually be good at.unlike Bard
This is the best thing you will see today
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLbaki_Tc5s
>>339629610
3.3's raid finder is for the newest savage only from what i heared
>>339628702
>>339629718
BRD is like the retard cousin of MCH. Just very slow and barely keeps up
>>339629137
>>339629563
a minmaxed BLM opener will rip aggro from the tank no matter how skilled they are unless you wait for them to enstablish aggro
don't be a lazy ass and get quelling
>>339630127
Not super familiar with the MCH kit (literally just bothered to unlock it yesterday) but doesnt their big party damage buff come at no cost to their own personal DPS? That hardly seems fair by comparison.
>>339630420
I've seen several 10k Fire IV crits in a row of BLM in their opener, thanks to Litany and Balance, it's insane.
>>339630420
So exactly what I said?
He can go grab quelling once he's actually lvl 60 and getting gear.
>>339630635
Do the later fires just replace fire 1 like thunder II does? Fire II and Blizz II are pretty useless
>>339630501
Not only does hypercharge cost them nothing, it doesn't use their MP, so they always have a full charge of MP/TP battery for the party.
>>339630889
Thunder 2 is useless once you get Thunder 3 (unless you're doing some crazy secondary theorycraft build). You use Thunder 1 to apply the dot and Thunder 3 with thundercloud procs.
>>339630889
Nigger, I don't even play BLM and I know you don't know what you're doing
>>339630889
before getting fire/bliz 4, you spam fire 1 for firestarter procs until you run out of mana, then bliz 3 and do whatever until you're fully stocked and you can use fire 3 to go back to spamming fire
once you get fire and bliz 4, you have to manage another timed buff called enochian
fire 4 is your main damage spell, but it doesn't refresh anything
fire 3 is for going from umbral 3 to astral 3 right away
fire 1 is for refreshing astral
bliz 4 is for refreshing enochian
bliz 3 is for going from umbral to astral
the others are more or less useless
>>339630889
>Fire 2 is useless
Oh child. Fire 2 is always better damage if you're hitting at least 3 enemies with it. Fire 3 is only used for establishing or switching full Fire/Ice stacks, same with Blizz 3. Personally I only ever hard cast T1, the others take too long, especially when Thundercloud procs are a thing.
>>339631128
Yeah that's bullshit. Also there are a lot
more classes that do Melee damage than magical damage so that's even more in their favor. Not even a Bard player but they need some serious help, SE completely cucked them for MCH.
>>339630501
BRDs still slightly beat them at party utility when they're bothered to play Foe's Req. Emphasis on bothered
>>339630501
Thats what happens when the whole community threw such a shit fit at HW release regarding MCH
>>339631310
No shit retard, he's obviously just leveling.
>>339631389
foe should decrease all damage resistance by a smaller amount, honestly
especially considering how fast that shit drains your mp
>>339630889
Nope.
Fire I: medium cast time, generates 1 astral fire. Uses more MP and deals more damage with more astral fire buffs.
Fire II: long cast time, generates astral fire, aoe attack.
Fire III: LOOOOOONG cast time, generates 3 astral fires, great damage, consumes A FUCK TON of mana. Use it ONLY as first fire skill or when you get a firestarter buff (you can use it instant and 0MP cost)
Fire IV: "short" cast time, deals a FUCKTON of damage but doesn't generate astral fire.
So you end up using: Fire 3 to begin with 3 astral fires, Fire IV as your big DPS skill and Fire 1 to keep the Astral Fire buff up if you couldn't use an instant Fire 3.
>>339631594
Foes is fine, casters put out a hefty amount of DPS. Battle Voice should be 180 sec CD instead of 300 though.
>>339631787
they do, but it'd rather not have bards rely so much on party composition
>>339631559
>Literally can't into toolotips
>Can't do basic math
Yeh nah, He can suck a fuck
>>339631787
Remember Hypercharge is also buffing tank damage as well, the only tank skills that are gonna get buffed by Foes are a couple of DRK skills.
>>339631474
It's all down to raid design too, in Gordias MCH and BRD isn't so clear cut, and in turns like AS2 a Bard is definitely better, maybe even AS1.
So the Raid tier after Midas will be crucial to Bard's future.
So is the final raid tier gonna have five bosses to even it up with coil? Though I suppose technically T4 didn't really have a boss...
>>339622645
>This group + Haurchefant
I never wanted it to end. Best party.
Fuck the scions and their bullshit plot armor.
>>339622619
>>339622954
>Pick the best race
>But then pick the inferior gender
Why do you do this?
>>339632119
There is literally no reason to use fire or blizz 2 while questing when you're targeting one thing at a time
>>339633056
Probably not.
>>339633056
T3 wasn't even a fight.
>>339624384
I don't know what else there could be that could be a draw to the game. No one plays XIV for PVP, and stuff like Diadem or Deep Dungeon are pretty short term experiments. Verminion soured the well on mini-games and nothing short of Blitzball is going to make players accepting of them again.
The only thing I could think of is new jobs which we aren't going to see until the next expansion, which is why for 4.x they really need to do scheduled job releases spread throughout the patch, rather than dumping them all at once like they did for Heavensward. It would probably make balancing easier as well.
>>339633717
If they are gonna do it that way they'd better make it crystal clear that other jobs are coming otherwise the "ONLY ONE NEW JOB FFXIV CONFIRMED DEAD" shitposting will never end.
Why didn't they just give Scholars Phoenix as their level three limit break?
>>339633717
Verminion literally needed to be three times as fast as it is and have no minion queue limits. But then console shitters wouldn't be able to keep up. They also needed to not nerf diadem into uselessness, and rework it to be relevant again. Now it's only useful for making draconian potions and first relic step.
>>339633129
Do whatever you want while you're solo questing, I couldn't give half a shit. But don't come into my dungeon and spam fire I whene there's 4 or more enemies.
>>339633952

>>339634407
people who have never touched the job, ignore them
what new race(s) do you guys want in the expansion? viera and bangaa would be nice
>>339633092
It's a tough choice. You either go with male and everyone thinks your a giant faggot or go with female and everyone thinks you have a giant futa cock.
>>339634579
CUTE.
LOLI.
CATGIRLS.
>>339621473
Next expansion is definatly going to Doma.
There is so many hints to it.
Everyone saying that they're going straight to the empire are wrong.
New minion is a "Doman Magpie", countless nods to Doma itself.
>>339634579
Viera seems like a lock if RDM is actually coming, there's an established link there.
>>339634579
Viera just because we were so close to getting them.
Though I would prefer more customization options to be implemented for current races instead of another race with 4 faces and features locked to that face.
>>339634579
elezen shotas like alph
>>339634140
Isn't better to kill them fast 1 by 1 instead of killing them very slow at the same time?
I mean...in a party with a BLM and a DRG I understand the DRG will focus on 1 and the BLM can focus on aoe...but imagine if there are 2 BLM or 1BLM and 1 SMN.
>>339634720
>>339634768
There is absolutely no lock on any race that existed in a past Final Fantasy title. Final Fantasy XIV has its own lore, and even human-likes have differences between XI and XIV.
If they add a race of bunny-girls, which I honestly don't think they will, expect them to be quite a bit different from Viera.
>>339629892
>dragoon still gets the dropi legit want them to put a 16 bit fight in the game
>>339634579
Bangaa can never happen because SE would have to stop being lazy and manually texture armor to them, that's why we have Au Ra instead.
Viera are very likely because extra cute girl race.
>>339634851
Holy shit no, switch to Fire II at 3+ targets.
>>339634851
the drg usually focuses on single target because their aoe is pretty ass and it drains their tp like a motherfucker, and even then they better fucking aoe if there's a lot of mobs
blm has unlimited resources and does a shit ton of aoe damage, they have literally 0 excuse
>>339634712
Why are papalymo and yda in migho town though? It feels like they're gonna start fucking with omega weapon and that area after the dragonsong war is over.
>>339635084
>the drg usually focuses on single target because their aoe is pretty ass
Are you shitting me right now
Doomspike is among the best AoE in the game, nevermind when DFD is up and they know how to dump Geirskoguls on trash
>>339634712
Doma literally does not exist anymore. If anything Doma will be the Mor Dhona/Idyllshire of whatever expansion it comes in, being slowly rebuilt over time (if we even go there at all).
>>339634945
It seems the most likely to me (if we're even getting a new race at all that is; Yugiri was teasing Au Ra well before this point in the 2.x series)
>>339635159
The question I have is where are they even supposed to be? It's gonna be really awkward if they come back and say "Oh hey we were holed up in those caves behind Lost Hope this whole time, sorry guys!"
>>339635273
Not gonna lie, I don't play drg, I was making assumptions based on what I see
>>339634407
It's literally the easiest fucking job in the game and if you don't think that then kill yourself because you're in a thread for a game you've never played before
>>339635428
That's fair, 9/10 DRGs I play with do sub 1k on AoE pulls, but holy shit they're capable of doing a ton.
NIN AoE is also disgustingly underrated on 4+ targets assuming Kassatsu is ready and they have TP, everybody seems to think they can't AoE at all.
>>339635530
>I have no idea what I'm talking about but kill yourself lmao
>>339634140
>implying I fuck with dungeons now
Literally the most boring shit
>>339634579
I am content playing a cat. If anything i would wond sliders for already exsisting races. And yes that would include a butt slider because fuck me there isn't a single booty in the whole game, unless you count garuda.

Almost every class has decent AoE, but a lot of shitter just don't use it. MCH is another one of those classes that never AoE, despite pulling some great numbers with it.

There are like ten of them in the entire world, not enough for a playable race without massive asspulls.

It's almost impressive really, any time you glance at them they wont have BotD up, and it's pretty likely they wont have Heavy Thrust up either.
>>339636045
>lore doesn't matter because i want to play as a kid

I think that's still a bit off. Gotta end PS3 support first, which they said they'll do for 5.0, I believe.
Then they can go back and add the things they had to cut and fix shit up.
>>339628702
>>339636417
There is literally an entire massive continent full of au ra. Padjal are just a handful of hyur chosen by the Elementals to act as ambassadors. Most padjal are even kept within the same bloodline. The majority are from the Senna family.

>>339628720
To fit into XIV's trinity, it can pretty much only be reinvented. I'd vote for RDM to fill a melee BRD/MCH role. It could have a couple of fairly simple weaponskills following a priority system (short cooldowns, self buffs and dots to reapply, procs that should be used immediately). Enfire, -thunder, and -blizzard could be OGCD buffs akin to the MNK's 'fists of' abilities. Party-wide Haste could be its Battle Litany/Foe Req/Hypercharge equivalent, and the number would have to be carefully considered. Just a little speed can mess up many rotations, primarily with dot and Enochian reapplication, but a lot of speed can open up entirely new rotations for classes to swap to mid-fight, which would be my preference. Way more interesting that way, like BLM's dropping fire 1 out completely during burn phases or DRG's squeezing two full thrusts between each chaos.
The real onus of maintaining RDM flavor I'd stick in the Cross-class system, and it's primary dps tool, Chainspell. Instead of reliance on things like B4B and Invig, it could have those tools pre-built in, freeing up its cross-class abilities for any customized mix of basic magic spells. Resurrection would probably be mandatory. Fire and it's ilk would have to be relegated to piercing talon status until the RDM built up enough Chainspell stacks (through use of weaponskills, most likely), which for a short time would make all those spells instant and off the GCD. So RDM dps would spike when it was activated, allowing them to alternate between weaponskill>thunder>weaponskill>fire>etc. And also allow them to instant rez or instant cure if needed. I don't think a DPS class being able to situationally heal for ~half the efficacy of a healing class is completely out of the question.

I hope the aether cancer eventually actually kills her. But I'm sure it'll be cured somehow since the writers are retarded.
>>339636673
but she's blind so she wouldn't even be able to see the drawing
>>339636952
Yes, and? That's exactly how it is. In your game, you're the Warrior of Light and your other party members are your friends that have Echo to help you fight Primals.
A small group of chosen hyur suddenly exploding into an actual race of people does not make any sense.

>mfw
Holy shit that was awesome. Now that is what I call a fucking Jump! All the meanwhile we have that shitty dragonsong dive for DRG LB. Fuck that shit and give me Nidhogg's one instead. How is it that a dragon can do a better jump than the dragoons who fucking made it in the first place?
>>339637427
Because Dragoon's powers are fueled by Dragon essence, and Nidhogg is an ACTUAL dragon.
>>339637427
I want Summoners to do the spin Nael Deus does when she casts Megaflare when a SMN LBs.
>>339634140
Swiftcast Flare, Convert then Flare, Max Ether then Flare again
Otherwise it's literally just Fire II until Transpose is up then you Flare and Transpose
You're not spamming Fire II for damage, it's still a dps gain but it's just filler for Flare.
>>339637030
Fuck you for condoning SE's terrible fucking homogenization of the Jobs making every role and Job boring as fuck since once you've played 1 you've played them all.

It'll be cured or a constant ailment so the writer can justify her having a high powerlevel but never being able to fully use it.
But all in all she is one of the more bearable Scions and it is cool that she is the face of XIV in all crossover games.

We literally summon Nidhogg's dad. Why do you want some gay ass pink launchpad?

Dragon's Dogma Online did a similar thing with Arisen. Just have some big event that requires more to be made. Heck, you could say they've been a secret group working in the shadows since Dalamud came down.
It makes equally less sense that the current Warrior of Light who went through the 2.X could be an Au'ra which were unknown on this continent until 3.X.
>>339637030
I just want the classic RDM gear, it's always been the best part of the class.
So during my MCH opener.. when I am at the last few WF seconds and blew my load, do I take off the Gauss Barrel to squeeze in an auto while hoping for a procc or do I just cast?
What other situations are there to take of the GB? No ammo and having to spam my 1 hoping for a procc? Heavy movement? Is impulse drive worth it?
who /MNK/ here?
topping dps charts like a pro
I'm 5X and still in patch 2.2, but I'm planning on resuscribing in July after exams, it's still worth it? I'm like a month and a half from end game, I don't want to always follow a carrot and never get to the actual last patch.

They need time to build up the new expansion's story line. I imagine at the end of this story we'll get in contact with the guys in Ala'Mhigo, and then 3.4 and 3.5 will deal with preparations to go there.
>>339638091
RDM while having the "jack of all trades" reputation was pretty far from a balanced character.
It excelled at casting speed and debuffs - it was completely unmatched at them, while still having some support and damage options.
>>339637976
And why would the Elementals need to make more padjal when the only difference between them and normal hyur is that the padjal can naturally speak to Elementals, and that they stay young forever?bEven normal people of other races can learn to talk to Elementals. That's what Conjury is.
Padjal are entirely a ceremonial thing created from their treaty that allowed the Gelmorrans to live on the surface of the forest. They make absolutely zero sense as a playable race.
>>339638052
You'll be able to catch up by the time 3.4 drops or at least be close enough that your transition should be pretty seamless. You'll also actually have plenty to do unlike a lot of us.
Name one class better than Machinist.

>>339638091
Problem is: XIV is a modern MMO. In a modern MMO all classes need to be balanced. That mean make 'em all the same otherwise your forums will errupt in a lot of crying. Also, balance it around the 5% of the propulation that progress raid, because a class that can not take part in tackeling the hardest content undergeared is clearly not fit to be played in any other content.
>>339638052
This game is built for letting you catch up.
Come in, start grinding tomes and you're fine, you'll be just shy of those of us clearing Midas Savage.
>>339638431
There's a minimum item level option if you want to run Coil as intended, and you can manually remove your echo.
Good luck finding 7 people who want to teach you those fights/learn them together, though.
>>339638381
That would be easy since there's no class called Machinist.
>>339638381
Scholar is the best job this game will ever have.

>>339638271
You don't need that much justification to make a race that people want to play as. We're talking about hypotheticals. All that needs to be said is "the Elementals made a secret faction of Padjal to act as their messengers and guide Eorzea from the shadows after Dalamud's crash, they just revealed themselves due to this new crazy shit happening and are going to help us".
That's all the justification needed.
>>339637758
Red mages original concept in ffxi wasn't even good it was just an enfeebling class under the delusion of jack of all trades.
You should be mad about how they completely bastardized summoner and scholar.

Yes this is my enitre point to begin with, the jack of all trades part is just an ilusion.

>>339639101
Tactics did not use cross class skills, you cross classed an entire job.
Cross class skills are fucking boring, no shit you're gonna opt for blood for blood and invigorate over shit like featherfoot, what amazing choices and customization!
>>339638431
All the options to run Coil as it was inteended are there, the hard part is finding other people to do it with.
>>339638927
That's not what Elementals do, man. You completely lack any understanding of the lore behind padjal and Elementals. When Elementals think the world is being threatened, they just summon Oha-sok and kill as many people as possible.
They are not saviors or nice angels looking out for people. They're entirely instinct and self-preservation.
In 1.0, when Garleans were carpet bombing the forest, the Elementals just started sending wild animals after innocent Gridanians because they don't give a fuck. Some Elementals were just straight up blasting Wood Wailers out of existence. If Dalamud would cause them to act, and if they weren't majorly crippled by Dalamud fucking the aether, they would just flood the world again like they did when they caused the Sixth Umbral Era.
>>339638998
Makes me fucking mad senpai, because PUP BRD and RDM were my favorite jobs.
>>339639259
Actually I'm pretty curious about the 3.3 anima stage as well. They've said it will 'take on a new look' but they've kept pretty mum on the new models so far.
I just want them to be dyeable already.
>>339639432
got a any pics of the new forms?, I wanna know how the PLD one looks, loved the almace and ancile
I want Mystic Knight. Spellswords are baller.
Would you play a RDM class that can switch between tank, melee dps, caster dps and healer on the fly, but is worse at it than non hybrid jobs?

Literally nobody wants to do old content without being unsynched.
SE killed off basically the entirety of the ARR content with their full retard design decisions. I honestly can't believe it, especially since FFXI was my last MMO, which kept all it's content relevant during 75 cap. XIV just pisses it all away, which pisses me off because I took a long break and now either nobody does the old stuff, or it lasts roughly 3 minutes because everyone is i230 doing i90-120 content.
>>339639604
No, not when you can already switch between jobs on the fly.
If RDM could do everything it would need sets of gear for everything too, you wouldn't play a healer in Striking gear.
I can only see RDM tanking.
Phalanx, Blink, Stoneskin, self heals, Ice Spikes for a tank stance, Blaze Spikes for a DPS stance, enspells for auto attacks and shit.
>>339639703

>>339639379
>Lack knowledge of a game that was erased from history
Yeah, okay. Because its not as if this game hasn't ass-pulled and changed motivations before. Its not as if Yoshi can't just wave his finger and say "this is what actually happened" at literally any point in development.
It'll never happen anyway because they've explicitly stated they won't add clearly humanoid-like child races due to the fear of triggering normalfags, but the lore in XIV isn't as internally consistent as you think it is. A small jump like that is nothing compared to "the warrior of light was an Au'Ra all along".
>>339639789
What if the RDM gear switches stats when the RDM switches stance? And by switching on the fly I mean in combat.
Blue Mage fucking when?

Panel 4 bottom right: "T-They're touching me."
>>339636795
2nd panel both Femcat WoL and Thancred are like "I know that feeling".
>>339639956
It's so fucking depressing that this is true.
All of WARs skills just have this perfect synergy with eachother, building stacks with everything you do, using offensive cooldowns for defense and vice versa.
Honestly if DRK had Grit free of MP/off GCD, Blood Weapon allowed in Grit, Souleater HP drain outside of Grit, Delirium applying Blunt resist as well as INT down for MNK synergy same as WAR+NIN, MP restoration from Ballad and shit allowed with Darkside and Dark Arts Dark Dance adding more Parry rather than trying to add Dodge, WAR would still probably be an overall better tank.
PLD is just a lost cause in comparison.
Where my AST bros at
Actual thinking and buffing unlike WHM
Actual healing unlike SCH

Solo some notable NMs perhaps but its nothing you couldn't do with other jobs or as a group, plus everything that was relevant was with groups.
>top tier debuffer
Sure, on anything that wasn't graviga or sleepga, but i admit those werent common
>2nd best overall healer
No
>best merit healer
Even more no, especially if were talking 75 cap. Whm was the best healer period, merit parties were the excetion because you were fighting mons you burned through fast to chain and people liked red mage because scholar didnt have haste. Current times they are actually the worst at everything except debuffs.
>can nuke
No, holy fuck no. The damage is low they onlygo up to tier 3 nukes. You get more damage out of your fucking sword and enspells and its still mediocre.
>credit to the team

>There are like ten of them in the entire world, not enough for a playable race without massive asspulls.
A tribe of horned wood faggots are discovered on a far off continent, and this magic crystal or some shit let's them become jobs that isn't WHM, and also they're charged with traveling the world or something on a pilgrimage.
Congrats there's your new race.
>>339640407
it's completely doable
just put your dps skills on one hotbar and healing on another
>>339640452
All they've mentioned so far is they're going to change what items are turned in so it's easier for classes to make items for red scripts.
>>339640698
This. It's also important to note that the Japanese team doesn't even give a fuck about the details of the lore and just do what they want, and main just shove the details off onto the English localization team to deal with.
Who do you commend at the end of a dungeon? For me it is:
healer who did DPS > DPS that did good damage > tank > cute character model
