Hoping to get a house, anon?

Ready for more welfare gear?

Any hopes that the new treasure hunting will make it a bit less braindead?

I hope they up the difficulty a bit. It was fun in the crystal tower series to see shit groups die to the eye. It's almost impossible for groups to die these days.

I have a friend who unironically thinks he can afford a house with 400k.

I've told him that it isn't possible and told him to check the prices of some vacant houses, and he doesn't want to believe me. What do I do to get him to listen?
>>
>>340011228
Right? Void Ark was a cool raid but pretty fucking easy. Hope it's more of a challenge.

There are players selling small houses for 400k on my server, Famfrit.

Show him the 3.3 patchnotes that say the cheapest is 3 million. The CHEAPEST.

>>340011506

Unless they're handing it over along with a FC, you'd still have to buy the land which is currently 4m at the cheapest I believe.

Housing is stupid. If you unsub for like 3 months it is wiped. So fuck that.

This game isn't worth playing all year.
>>
>>340011781

2 months. It's relinquished in 45 days.

Optimal solution would be to make housing available for everyone, but since they decided on making it a limited resource it's only fair to demolish the houses of people who aren't playing.

Funny thing you guys might like to know. I was testing some stuff out on a training dummy at my monk's 221 ilvl and just doing bootshine->true strike->snap punch without any positionals or buffs or OGCD, I was doing 1100 DPS over 4 minutes.

Me too, but I main BLM. I'm leveling other classes just to try them out, but I think I'm just shit overall. I have trouble even getting to 1100 for most encounters, but I'm just i201 so I dunno if that's equipment or what.

Hunts being relevant again would be pretty cool. Right now Centurio seals are literally only used for those couple of minions you can get

Not looking forward to the whole "people never waiting/pulling immediately" thing, but I think it's fun to shout it out and tons and tons of people all come together.
>>
Is this still p2p? Would try if it was b2p
>>
>>340017617
SCH isn't as complicated as you think.

Selene is in most cases OK to leave on sic unless you really need to use her party esuna. Leaving on sic, she'll use Fey Wind when it's ready every time.

Eos is best used on obey, but most party compositions won't call for Eos unless you're double SCH or solo healing.

Just leave your fairy alone to do her shit most of the time. using heal macros is more a hassle than not anyways.
>>
>>340017709
>Please hold hunt, we have a non-flyer

Also centurio seals don't really have a use yeah. You can also use them to get doman pieces and level desynth for what that's worth. Books can also be turned in for esoteric upgrade pieces if you're slowly gearing up alt classes or something. For 3.2 I only bothered with heavensward hunts to avoid doing experts.
>>
>>340017709
Centurio seals are also good for quickly gearing new lvl 60s with the old Law tome gear.

But I mostly spend my seals on Aetheryte tickets. Each week I use the daily/weekly HW hunt bills to do the "100 kills" companion challenge log for my chocobo, and that nets around enough seals to buy 99 aetheryte tickets.
>>
>>340017870
You get thirty days free with purchase, but it's still sub-based. 13$/month.

In any case, the trial's getting extended. When you could previously only hit level 20, you can now hit 35, which is more than halfway through the 2.0 storyline and gives you a better idea of what the game actually plays like, as you get access to real jobs.
>>
>>340017617
Scholars are really easy actually. I have a 60 SCH and honestly the only pet management you do is using Fey Wind every minute and that's it. Otherwise it's simply healing and shielding when the tank's about to get hit by a tankbuster.

War's a joke until level 35+ or so. They're ability to keep hate and be tanky is non-existant, because they are one of the most level and item dependent jobs in the game. It gets much better though.

Don't do this though. You need 6 mark logs (i.e. 3000 seals) to upgrade ONE piece of eso gear. or 4 mark logs (2000 seals) for 1 accessory. Just farm Void Ark if you want i210 stuff, the Mhachi Farthing drops every time and you can upgrade weapons with it too.

Everyone I know who actually does current Savage content has told me that pet management is important, but maybe I'll stick with SCH a bit more and see how it goes.

My WAR's at level 41, and I'm losing hate on some mobs in DV pulls. Trying to keep an eye on it, and doing alright for the most part, but I'm starting to think it's me, and not the game. Maybe I'll keep going.

Frankly, I just think it's severe tired gamer syndrome.

>>340018172
If it's any consolation, I've gotten much more than my money's worth of playtime out of it. You could easily hit 50 within the 30 days you get, and start doing the 2.x story stuff. If you like it enough, you can resub/buy HW.

Yeah I guess so, I got some money comin up soon. Might try it out, thanks for the input. Threads here are much better compared to /vg/
>>
>>340018252
Yeah there's no reason to farm hunts with that goal in mind, you just run out of things to spend centurio seals on though.
>>
>>340012624
Nope, it's just a catch-up/filler patch. It's all shit you'll finish in a week and then you'll just AFK in Idyllshire like always.
>>
>>340018413
Pet management is important but it's not nearly as complex as people like to think. Positioning the fairy doesn't do anything to her healing AI. It's essentially just a couple extra cooldowns you have to mind.

Then again some people believe MCH is hard to play whereas in reality it's the most braindead job of the bunch.

>>340018413
>Everyone I know who actually does current Savage content has told me that pet management is important

It really, really isn't.

Selene has 3 skills. a party esuna, a silence, and a party haste.

There are pros and cons to both being on sic and obey.

Sic
Pros: Don't have to pay attention to Fey wind upkeep. The silence on sic is instant and works against shit people wouldn't think to silence. Party esuna keeps you from having to worry about some status effects yourself
Cons: Party Esuna goes off on the first debuff that applies to someone, even if that Debuff can't be cleansed.

Obey
Pros: Party Esuna can be used at your own discretion for cleansing raid wide debuffs that can actually be dispelled. if 2 SCHs are on the team they can weave their fey winds and have 0 downtime on the buff.
cons: Manual usage of the silence is kind of shit. SCH shouldn't be expected to silence anyways. It can also be easy to forget to fey wind if you aren't paying attention.

The only other thing is fairy position but that's optional and mostly to keep her in a spot where her healing can reach people regardless of where they are (For the robot phase of A8 for example, I put selene on one side of the map so her heals reach the offtank)
>>
>>340018640
Assuming you already have all the minions, the wyvern mount, ishgardian barding and don't want the doman gear, just buy aetheryte tickets and never pay to teleport again.
>>
>>340018684

I've never even done any pet management at all and I've done everything except savage content.

>>340019167
Questing is pretty much always like that unfortunately. Only the main scenario quests and are interesting and it's solely because of the story told at the beginning/end of quests, not what you actually do in them.

Hildibrand is pretty good as well but he doesn't open up until 50 so its kind of a moot point since story is the sole reason to do them.
>>
>>340010913
Wait, is OP just fucking around, or is that seriously all there is to the new patch?

No. Questing is never fun, unless it's the MSQ or leads to an instance or hildibrand.

Do levequests and your hunting log while you wait in those delicious DPS queues.

Or just gear up your SCH. You have been doing the SCH questline, right?

Opinions on dark knight?

They made the most sense to me. Plus I actually like being much more involved in a party than just dishing damage or healing, now I'm actually looking at enemies.

I've gotten 220k just this week. My FC has also put up the +10% MGP company action so I get shit like this.

If you are autistic enough to grind chocobo racing, completing all the chocobo challenge races will net you about 450k MGP on its own. It will be even easier in 3.3 because they're reducing the time for breeding chocobos from 6 hours to 30 minutes. Racing chocobos at max level is also a good way to get MGP on its own because winning a race in the highest bracket is 1000mgp right there, and they only take a few minutes.

I already have Fenrir, Adamantoise, all the music, all the minions, all the hairstyles, all the purchasable TT cards (except Cloud), and currently have 920k saving up for the Cloud card. Not to mention I've sunk about 500-600k into gold card packs trying to get Zidane.

MGP is piss easy to get now.

I do a bit over 1k at i220, but I have a 210 weapon.

Make sure you're keeping shadowflare up, and swiftcasting it to drop right when and where the tank pulls to, and keep miasma 2 up on groups of 4 or more, and skip broil for blizzard 2 if there are 4+ as well.

No reason not to be auto attacking bosses and shit too.
>>
>>340022148

I keep shadowflare up. never use miasma 2 or blizzard 2, though. I should really slot that.

>If you are autistic enough to grind chocobo racing, completing all the chocobo challenge races will net you about 450k MGP

How autistic are you talking? If it's not a huge investment I might get in on that. I have roughly 600k mgp and that would push me over to being able to buy Fenrir.

Level 50-60 adds like 3 skills because you get a bunch of skills you pretty much never have to use. You can't call it ability bloat when the job was exactly made to be played that way at level 60.

It is pretty complicated though.

I stopped playing with the release of 2.2. I just couldn't be assed to grind more linear hallway dungeons for nothing but ilvl numbers

Is it worth coming back for 3.3? Are deep dungeons a new form of progression or is it just more pointless side stuff that won't go anywhere?

Got the urge to play again, bought heavensward and l resubbed. Now I'm looking at an i110 blm with everything else level 1 except for a 15 archer, 22 cnj and 23 acn. Last main story quest finished was hest of the best, I think.

So basically, should I go leveling other classes or try and push blm through the story and get to ishgard?

Miasma 2 is a total potency of 70 per target, so really you should be keeping it up all the time as long as there's 3+ targets, but I don't really bother unless it's 4+, and blizzard is about 200 potency on 4 targets, so if it's 4 or more then it beats broil, unless you have to run out of aoes too much and your dps gets fucked.

I don't know, the population on Balmung is huge, and after they nerfed the housing prices across all servers, I imagine a shitton more people can afford them now. I don't think there will be a single plot left standing 20 minutes after the servers go back up, and that's generous.

After the patch? Maybe 20-30 hours or so, including the time you have to wait for breeding.

To complete every challenge you will probably need a pedigree 9 chocobo (the highest) which necessitates grinding up lower level chocobos to level 40, then retiring them and breeding them to improve their pedigree level. So you start out at pedigree 1, grind to level 40, breed, which gets you a pedigree 2. Repeat with the pedigree 2 to get pedigree 3, etc.

The guys with the 10 didgits need to switch characters around to buy, so you have plenty of time to snatch something.. if you log in during the first hour after the server goes live. After that it'll be a pretty sad business.

Also I am fairly certain it will be a lot easier to get a small home than medium or large, seeing there are so many more of those.
>>
>>340022494
There's no reason for them to have both Shadewalker and Smoke Bomb when they do basically the same thing. Dream within a Dream is also pretty much just another button to press on cooldown, doesn't actually add anything to the class.

Armour Crush also changes up their rotation slightly and gives you an attack you have to hit the flank for.

Housing is my first objective, since SE dicks over FCs with that feature.

Want to deal with airships and FC crafting, seeing as you paid $40+ for an expansion? Too bad! Need a house!

Want more servants in your house? Too bad! Buy a bigger one!

Plots not available for upgrading or even purchasing? Too bad! Join an established Mega FC! Please look forward to those 300+ unsubbed players in your new FC~

Want to use Chocobo Stables? Too bad! Buy a house or join an established FC!

Want the ability for random people to submit applications to your FC? Too bad! Buy a house!

Want to garden? Too bad! Buy a house!

Want the ability to set a cheap teleport for your entire FC to have the ability to gather at a common place? Too bad! Buy a house to use mini-aetheryte, and ignore Rowena's sorcery!

It really bothers me to stop and consider how poorly implemented the FC features are in XIV, and how some vital features such as stables / airship & FC crafting / FC applications are locked behind a very limited resource, making it almost impossible for newer groups to step up and become more than glorified linkshells with logos. Even if they put in a public place that allows FCs to "rent" those facilities, or just flatout do like ye olde MMOs and have it cost ingame money to keep things going. Too many useful features are locked out behind housing.
>>
>>340023573
You can't submit an application to an FC if they don't have a house? That's news to me.

Unless I'm mistaken, I have never seen it done without a house. It could be that people rather just talk to someone for an invite instead of going EVE on it, provided there is no static house to just run out to and apply at.

I'm on my third FC on a new server, and in the past, I have only had people actually apply by going to the house signboard and doing it there.

FFXIV can be played without having played any other games in the series but the game is mostly fan service and heavily references other games in the series and it's very story heavy.

>>340024229
Nearly two years later, they're finally working on addressing it all with apartments, but that's still $40 paywall to just have something akin to a FC room (which will have restricted gardening vases by that point in time, due to no cross-breeding)

Playing on a legacy server makes it neigh impossible to obtain housing to do any of these things, which makes me really desire that SE will someday fix things. I still rather pay a set amount of gil per month to have extra NPCs in my small cottage, to make up for the fact that I couldn't afford a medium or mansion to have +1 / +2 NPC slots.

>>340024286
The irony is that people don't seem to understand they can have their retainers do a direct sell at NPC prices, since listing an item has tax on it, resulting in base value being a loss for the lister. Considered going full Jita on it and just buying up the cheap and relisting at a higher price, but the same idiots will just undercut for all eternity.

>>340024471
That's fine, because people keep buying. If someone is too lazy to go to a vendor, they may as well pay the shipping fee.
>>
>>340024570
Yea but them selling it cheaper also works either. Not saying they're retarded because it works, I'm saying they're retarded because they honestly believe they are clever and not other player notices them doing this.

I like this game, but it has some seriously fucking DUMB design choices. Like fucking basic shit and they fuck it up. For example you can only browse and buy from the trading post at the fucking trading post instead of every other game where you can buy from anywhere and just have to go there to collect. Then you've got all the shit tied to housing and housing is limited.

They should really play around with the idea of greased lighting more, having it be a resource you obtain and could store somehow and then spend on big attacks could be pretty fun, even if it was some basic shit like whenever you gain a stack of GL when you are already at 3 you store it up to 3 so you could tornado kick and then use the ability to get your stacks back. Or just GL4+, whatever works.

Hell, monk job abilities are mostly shit and don't really change anything you do, the HW's one except for elixir are literally just shit to press when you can't even hit the boss.

Also, fists of water that makes positionals the front of the boss so soloing shit isn't complete ass when?

Did the tank reply in that scenario? I've heard of leveling bots appearing in dungeons, and that Rambo mentality makes it seem like something was a bit off.

I can't into macros and I feel retarded. Even setting up a simple provoke macro doesn't go right for me.

Whenever I tank swap, I just run to where the current MT is and jump up and down till he gets the idea.

You don't need to train them at all, you'll level up either way and their stats have no bearing on their offspring. All training does is make it easier to win (which does in turn make it faster to level, but not by that much).

Training is only really a good idea with the chocobo you intend to keep.

>>
>>340029242
Well, some I couldn't even be assed to get to 50 (monk, war, bard ,whm). Lancer was ... ok? I wasn't a huge fan, but it was probably my least hated. I started leveling war because I got tired of Pally tanking. Blm was just entirely boring at end game. Nin was kinda cool, but way more effort than it was worth.

SMN had me until I realized it had shit summons and wasn't getting any more.

SCH was more fun than whm? I guess?

I think my main issue was that none of the classes actually felt any different to play.

>>340030383

The only macros I have with words attached to them are shit that effects other people like MCH hypercharge, and even then I just use the auto translate for the spell and the duration of the % damage increase.

I'd like to think by announcing it people will do more damage by using cds or whatever but I know the game is mindless and people just hit it when they are up.
>>
>>340030465
>WHM can deal more damage

THIS is my issue with the game. Every single thing is entirely about how much deeps you can do, and it's retarded. There is no dynamic or engaging gameplay, it's all burns. God, yosh p sucks dick at game design.
>>
I haven't played this mmo before but after playing all the other f2p games that are p2w and getting tired of those i'm thinking of giving this a try now. After looking around it seems some classes really require studying but could someone tell me what's an easy class to play that would be a credit to teams in raids?
>>
>>340030710

Kinda the issue when you want to have tanks/healers that will be able to clear tough content. All of them can tank well enough so the difference becomes which can dish out the most damage.
>>
>>340030710
That's only because all of the content is so easy. When you get to hardcore raids and shit that becomes less important, but everybody is constantly running content that they outgear by 40 item levels, and even when you don't outgear them the dungeons are fucking piss-easy.

And when you have to speedrun the same fucking dungeons every day you only want speed.

God I wish dungeons actually posed some kind of challenge.
>>
>>340030837

People like bards or machinists, but there are very few good ones.

Personally I love a good AST the most, one that feeds me cards, does DPS themself and also heals feels really good to have even if they are a bit weaker than other healers.
>>
>>340030837
Bard is pretty simple...they get a buff this patch too. For melee classes Ninja is probably easiest...?
>>
>>340031089

I'd say monk is easiest for melee.
>>
>>340030957
>>340031089
thanks i'm going to look into those now and see which I might like best
>>
>>340030949

The dungeons feel like they're getting easier. At least the final bosses of Mociannes and Pharos hard gave a little challenge, the final bosses of the current expert dungeons are impossible to wipe on.
>>
>>340031227

Just do your research, just starting out with the main game you'll only be able to play archer/bard until you get to the expansion content which could take over a hundred hours of playtime.

You don't need to learn everything at once obviously, but do research on your class and any new abilities you get while leveling.
>>
>>340031284
Progenitrix gave you a challenge? Belladonna did? Sounds like shitty DPS all around.
>>
>>340031149
I think for melee DPS its a personal thing. Cause ive had people tell me DRG was easiest since the changes to their positionals.
>>
How much more MSQ is there? Last thing I remember is meeting that Lala in the yellow robe.
>>
>>340012823
At 200+ ilevel, all healers should do over 600 on bosses and over 1k on trash packs. Your dps will depend on how good your tank is, so it's going to vary.
>>
>>340031431

3.1 was pretty shit and short story wise, 3.2 had some pretty good moments.
>>
>>340031089
Dragoon is far easier than Ninja, you just alternate 2 combos alternating heavy thrust/phleb while throwing out random off-GCD skills. With ninja you need to juggle quite a lot of buffs/debuffs.
>>340031410
Belladonna at least has some possibility of your team taking a lot of damage when the entire team gets mind-controlled by not turning around
>>
>>340031387
if I get the expansion can't I start the game with a new class or I have to progress through the story first then unlock them and level them again?
>>
>>340029914
DRG (Lancer) changed drastically, now has buff that gives 30% more dmg on jumps, 4th combo strike (with random positional req) which extends buff itself when you hit with it and oGCD aoe attacks which reduces duration of said buff. So instead of just going through your combos, you also should plan managing this buff.

SMN was buffed, I suppose? Does good damage now, but I didn't play in 2.0 that much.

For new jobs - DRK is tank with lots of oGCD skills, serious focus on mana management with Dark Arts enhancing different skills and overall better at tanking something doing huge magic damage. You may like it if you thought 2 other tanks were boring (and I think they both were absolutely horrible at 50), but not if you didn't like tanking completely.

MCH is kinda "support" ranged guy, which deals his damage in burst series at different time points. You use bunch of cooldowns together, then wait for (some of) them reapplying DoT, self damage buff and doing damage with "combo" shots, but they have 50% chance to proc from previous and you hold them even if you didn't combo them, so they aren't actual combos, but somwhere near it. It also gains Gaus Barrel at level 52, which adds short casttime to skills, removes AA and enables some other skills. Your procs from @combo@ don't have casttime however and instant even in GB, you also have skill that makes 3 next skills instant and with 1.5s gcd. Class deals huge damage itself and has ton's of utility for groups (like 10% phys damage buff for 30s every 2 min, TP/MP regen, ranged ogcd heavy with low cd).

Didn't play AST, can't tell you other that's this is RNGesus heal
>>
>>340031426
I have all classes at 60 and I'd definitely say DRG is the easiest once they adjusted the Impulse Drive combo. At least with monks if you miss the correct positional, all you lose is bonus damage. Dragoons couldn't even start that combo before unless they hit it right. Now they're about as forgiving as monk if not a bit easier.
>>
>>340031474
When? Was it when we babysitted that elf faggot? Or when some stupid leftist girl decided to go full /pol/? Or was it when they cucked us out of an interesting encounter with Raubahn by making it just a show for LITERALLY NOBODY?

3.2 was even worse, it's all padding.
I guess they killed Minfilia off at least.
>>
I wonder if there will ever be a Cutter's Cry Hard.
>>
>>340031579
>have to progress through the story first then unlock them and level them again?
Yes, the new classes start at level 30 for god knows why and you can't unlock them until you get to Ishgard, which won't become accessible until you beat the entirety of the 2.0 and 2.X storyline.
>>
>>340031579

One character does all, when you get to the expansion you'll probably be level 52 or so but MCH and AST start at level 30 unlike other classes.
>>

>>340043491

>the fact that you fight Nidhogg for the first time in a dungeon.

It's explained in the story though. The dragons' power come from their eyes and Nidhogg only had one eye which wasn't even his own so he was weak as fuck. Now that he has his two eyes he fights at full power.
>>
>>340043636
Well yeah, I understand, but at that point the fight with Nidhogg had been hyped up like hell. The fight itself was rather anti-climactic. It makes sense in the greater scheme, but at that point in the storyline you had been working towards fucking up Nidhogg for so long, and then bam it's just an easy dungeon boss.

I hope the new trial is good, Sephirot is an amazing trial
>>
>>340043843
I thought we were getting the next Warring Triad in this patch. Was sad to see it's just Nidhogg. I'm hyped to see what they do with Zurvan/Sophia.

What do tanks meld on their gear now? STR or Crit/Det?

>>340043957

STR goes on the first slot in accessories, beyond that crit and det.
Warriors want a little skill speed too.
>>
>>340043636
Somehow I still don't think Nidhogg with twice the power would be much of a threat to the WoL as he is now.
>>
>>340044207
More like 4 times the power or something like that.

Remember when you fought him in a dungeon he only had one eye, and don't forget you had the other one one at that time( which is the only way you survive his one-shot at the end of the fight).

Now he has both his eyes and estinien power up.

Astrologian newbie here.
Just hit level 40.

It's fun, but I don't feel very different from White Mage except I can pull a random buff every 30 seconds (that seems to be Ewer/Spire a disproportionately large percentage of the time). Just unlocked Spread though, which should help me to save a good card to combine with a Royal Road. And apparently I unlock Shuffle at 45 which lets me re-roll a card.

Any tips?

True.

So after Niedhedgehog we gonna fight Demon and Alexander in 3.4, Goddess and the Void Queen(?) in 3.5, no? I guess 3.6 will be not-Kefka and fight the Warriors of Darkness(TM), while Urianger reveals himself as either a traitor to us or the ascians. Obviously.

They said 4.0 doesn't need us to finish Heavensward, so I think its plot will be unrelated to whatever was before. Guess we'll get two sets of MSQ even, which would fit with the questmark change in 3.3 and add more of that.

It's only hard because - even if you clearly are the best of the group and deserve all the commendations - many simply don't care about giving any, or are bad a judging. Of course it's always bad if you have plants in the group. They usually ignore or simply don't know how to give commendations. And don't get me started on ending up in a trial backk when light farming was the new hotness...

This. Even before the EXP ring they introduced. I managed to hit level 54 before Heavensward just by doing the MSQ, Job quests, Roulette and hunting log. Only took a week. That was playing it casually. Only time I had to grind was for the last 2 or 3 levels before I hit 50.

It doesn't seem like there's any reason to use Kiss of the Viper anyway. Wowee heal for 50% damage on a 140 potency attack with a 90 second cooldown.

There is a new frontlines map in 3.3
>>
>>340035408
Which is neat considering they were broken and useless at launch.

I main a warrior but honestly, the Fel Cleave stuff is great, but I only get excited about crits when I'm soloing shit.

Havent been around since 3.1. Did they ever change it so your buttons change depending on which stance your in? Hated how I had to do this big macro that changed the buttons around whenever I switched stances. Made no sense that they didnt change automatically.
>>
>>340050541
I have almost all combat jobs at 60, leveling crafters is truly painful though.

>>340050883
Crafting was fine as long as you waited on leves. The daily turn-in for the GC gives you a crapton of XP for an HQ as well.

Why were the ninja job quests so good
>>
>>340050834
This, one reason I dropped Warrior because it fucked up my hotbars at 60. You can't even use the other abilities so it doesn't make sense why they don't swap.
>>
>>340050834
The macro for switching isn't that big.
>>
Is this going to be a catch-up/welfare patch?

I've been wanting to get back into the game and try out playing tank, but I didn't want to do it with a lot of endgame shit going on.
>>
>>340050883
if you are smart about it, leveling most of the crafting classes is rather profitable and not too long.

it's best to level all of the classes to 30 then do grand company quests daily while leveling up individual ones. goldsmith is the best first crafting class in my opinion because endgame white gear is not buyable from vendors and HQ always sells well with low mats cost
>>
>>340023004
thankfully i don't have to waste time mounting up for mine, sprinting is faster. i just hope load screens don't fuck me over. my ssd is full but they're still pretty fast.
>>
>>340050883
How long did that take?
Once it took me 4 hours to get a class to Level 15.

Probably cause being released later they were designed separately from the rest of the jobs and thus had more focus.

Same reason Rogue quests are better than the other sub-30 classes.

Absolute worst class questline is MRD.

It paid off though because WAR questline was good

I know but I shouldnt need it in the first place is the thing. And maybe I was using a bad one, but the macro I used essentially switched the buttons around depending on which stance button I hit. For whatever reason, sometimes I would need to hit it 2 or 3 times to work. Not a good thing when I'm trying to switch to a DPS stance during a period where the boss isnt going to be doing much and I need to fit some cleaves in.
>>
How is the PLD/WAR/DRK dynamic right now? Will there be any changes in 3.3?

I haven't played in awhile, but I remember WAR being way better than everything else at the start of HW.
>>
>>340046106
I don't get this logic. There's nothing to spend gil on in the game except player trades. There are no gil sinks except repairs, which are pretty cheap if you just stock up on dark matter 6.
>>
>>340051545
I honestly have no idea why Fell Cleave/Inner Beast and Steel Cyclone/Decimate don't share the same button and just change based on your stance.
>>
>>340051426
>buy mats
>make extra HQ for leve/turn-in
>sell them on MB to make back your gil and then some

Gee that was hard.
>>
>>340051615
Because SE are stupid
>>
>>340051545
Yeah my macro works the same way. The only time it doesn't really work is if I press it too quickly after using a skill and stance doesn't switch, but the button change. I also have different buttons for each stance so the macros don't get so complicated.

BRD

WAR is still mandatory. DRK slightly edges out PLD now but it's not a huge gulf in performance like it was last tier.
>>
>>340051601
WAR is still way better than everything else
PLD and DRK compete for the MT spot, with PLD having a slight edge in this raid tier I believe
>>
>>340051601
Still kinda the same in that it's WAR > DRK >= PLD but now it's a smaller gap. All 3 can clear all content with near the same effectiveness.

Yeah I really dont know what they were thinking with 50-60. It was not only boring, it was damn near the same story as 30-50.

Its likely because console limitations honestly.

PLD and DRK feel squishy and slippery. WAR feels solid.

y/n?
>>
>>340051886
NIN already has skills that change functionality based on current stance.
>>
>>340051935
WAR is squishier than both
>>
>>340051935
DRK and PLD feel fine to me. Dunno why everyone shits on them so much. PLD is braindead boring though.

You have increased HP and get more healing. It's the exact same thing in the end.
