But you can do a ToD when you use a potion in the rotation or when PB is not on use it after TwS. Normally I would agree, but the immediate GL build limits that option.

Can someone please tell me how the absolutely horrible Machinist animations not only made it into the finished expansion, but has still not been fixed in the YEAR since release?

I was bored earlier and decided to start leveling it, and I slapped on some gear and went to shoot a striking dummy just so I can try out the skills, and the way the firing abilities are animated is so awful that I've seen SFM porn made by tumblr weeaboos move more fluidly than this.

Literally how is this acceptable?

the job gets significantly better at 40, then better still at 50. everything before that is pure, unadulterated suffering.

The problem isn't the lack of diversity in firing animations, the problem is that the only parts of your body that's animated is your torso, and whenever you fire a shot your upper body recoils, but your lower body stays locked in the standing position completely, making it look fucking horrible.

Pretty much this. For some reason, you don't get your tank stance until 40 (but your DPS stance comes in at 30), and you don't have any AOE DPS moves until 50 (and even that's a long recast once you get it). With that being said, PLD does get buffs every patch (it seems), and it's really the best MT in the game once you have your full complement of moves.

Before that, though? Ugh.

Oh so just constantly move so you don't have to stare at your man twist and contort it's body to keep his feet and hips locked in place as your spine twists around from the gunshots.

Wew laddie I guess expecting animations slightly above amateur-tier from a $40 expansion from a major software developer for their main MMO is just too much to ask for.

DRK has proven that people are just bad the game. You don't even need fucking Defiance pre Stone Vigil dude. never have, never will. you really just need to get good.

before you try and make excuses, my FIRST JOB IN THE GAME was Paladin and even then it wasn't nearly as torturous as people make it out to be. I literally did my first Stone Vigil run without knowing Shield Oath existed.

The reason for that is the exact same reason that Storm's Path and Impulse Drive haven't received new animations. It's also the same reason why LNC is stuck spamming Impulse Drive between Heavy Thrusts until 26, and the reason why PLD is stuck with one and a half combos until level FIFTY FUCKING FOUR.
>>
>>146549574
I never said that it was "hard", but I will say that it's not as much of an enjoyable process as WAR or DRK. I only found it annoying because I had played WAR to 60 before playing PLD with any seriousness.

Since it was your first job, it's not easy to articulate how annoying it is to have the PLD leveling happen to you after (especially when I was doing my PLD to 34 just for the cross-class at the time)

No anon, i'm a cleric stance shitter instead.
I do play PLD occasionally for low level shit and don't see how hard it can be to keep aggro, a couple of flashes and tabbing through targets is more than enough to have aggro for days.

Though i can see why people complain about losing aggro, from sword oath to shield oath PLD gets nothing but defensive cooldowns while most dps classes get a huge boost to their dps so generating aggro needs some work at that stage.

Because when they were designing the ARR classes for level 50, at some point they decided that it would be a great idea to give one tank class a single mindless 1-2-3 combo so that players could "focus on playing the role" without having to think about their actual rotation. You could even argue that it was a good decision, as long as the game stayed at level 50 forever.

Unfortunately, it left PLD pretty much unable to keep up past level 50, or with new classes like DRK that pretty much just supercede PLD in tanking style.

I don't think that you could argue that it was a good decision at all, even if the game never went past lvl 50. PLD is by no means a difficult tank to play so the argument of "so you can focus on playing the role" is bullshit and only applies to...ultra-casuals, which uh, make up the vast majority of the playerbase.

>But wouldn't I just craft the week 1 raid gear?

Yes. The best part of being a high-end crafter isn't being able to make gil. It's that you never HAVE to make gil. I had a full set of 3-star specialists at the beginning of 3.2, and I have a full set of 4-star specialists ready for 3.4. At basically no point have I held more than 3-4m gil at a time, because there's no point.
>>
>>146551229
You should use Ruin II when you're about to use an oGCD to avoid clipping your GCD, or when you need to move. Prolonged usage of Ruin II still cripples your mana pool and forces you to conserve or use Energy Drain, neither of which are desirable courses of action.

Yeah, that's exactly why you could argue that it was a good decision, at least at the time. Having a class with such a low skill ceiling in ARR was a pretty good equalizer between people who wanted to play casually or semi-casually and people who were into the game hardcore. I bet that a partial contributor to Heavensward raiding being so much less popular than ARR raiding really is because there are no longer any classes that are so simple to play that you can just stick your worst static member into the PLD slot or the BRD slot and still basically do just fine in progression.

what arr fights i've done don't seem to be as much of a clusterfuck of mechanics as even just ravana, either, though i've done little coil so i may be completely off base. nael did seem to...maybe approach the complexity of current HW fights, but it just feels like there's so much going on that you basically have to have memorized because it all comes out so rapid fire.

>>146551602
I guess that's a valid point, but I still feel like it doesn't justify how shitty PLD's leveling progression is. At least the HW skills help to add some kind of...dynamism to the class, I guess you could say? I mean Clemency's pretty cool and Goring Blade/Royal Authority have awesome animations, so that counts for something. Bit too late though, I think.

The fight design and the class design in HW compared to ARR share a common issue, which is that since they've more or less designed the game from the ground up to be really straightforward (ie: All the fights follow a very rigid script and need to be fit the 2/4/2 Full Party setup; every class has exactly one correct rotation and is based around roughly the same GCD length), the only way that they can really expand on things is to add more of the same. Encounter design just has to have more and more densely-packed mechanics, and class design gets a bunch of new buttons that form into a more complex version of the one correct rotation.

It's not a sustainable model in the long run and it's arguably already breaking down in Heavensward (the skill gap between an average DF-quality player and a top-tier raider is MASSIVE compared to ARR). I wonder if they have a plan for how to address it moving forward, or if they've even really recognized it as an issue yet.

given that nidhogg seems to be scaled back slightly from sephirot, at least in what little i've experienced of both fights so far, so they may have learned they went a bit overboard with mechanics.

i've no idea what the fuck they were thinking with class design though. pretty much every job goes from being reasonably sound at fifty to "hey i hope you guys like minigames" at 60. drg plays "guess which part of the mob's ass you have to be on for 90 potency, asshole," blm plays "hope you like watching TWO timers tick down during an invincibility phase and hoping you can mash swiftcast and blizzard iv fast enough, asshole," smn plays "HA HA HA FAGGOT YOU BANED TOO EARLY AND LOST AN AETHERTRAIL," ninja plays "YOU DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH OGCDS ALREADY MOTHERFUCKER," etc., etc. and you have to do that while running around like a chicken with your head cut off, jesus fuck.

Given how incredibly rigid the game is, addressing this issue would require some changes on a fundamental level, one of which might be the addition of talent specs. Hell, the removal of the Cross-class 1.0 artifact and integration of shit like Provoke and Blood for Blood into the other classes would be a HUGE step in the right direction towards this.
I have a feeling that the reason jobs and classes have zero customization is because of the cross-class system that currently exists. Problem is, it offers absolutely no customization as there's always at least 3 cross-class skills that are necessary for each job to function at end-game. Imagine a WAR or DRK without Provoke.

If I were designing the 50-60 stuff I would have taken it as a chance to fix what people didn't like about the classes / what held them back compared to others, and added effects that enhanced your current spells with one big new spell at 60.

Stuff that builds upon the solid 50 foundation and then enhances the fun stuff and gives you a cool new button at 60.

The dev team's been reducing the amount of mechanics present in Primals since Thordan, actually. Thordan is still the most complex EX Primal in the game and will likely never lose that title.
Sephirot was a lot easier but still buckets of fun, and I felt like it struck a nice balance in terms of mechanical complexity. Nidhogg on the other hand feels like it's structured almost identically to Twintania, right down to the "home stretch final phase", since Hatch/Liquid Hell and Fireball/Ahk Morn are the only mechanics present in the respective final phases.

i've still not done thordan, so i'll have to take your word for it -- though considering pretty much every normal to EX jump has been "that, but more," i don't doubt you at all. it's sounded like a clusterfuck from what discussion i've caught of it anyways.

i don't know, it'd just be nice if these fights weren't so goddamn anime and there were more time to react to most things, but this game is particularly big on the "see aoe indicator move out of aoe indicator" right out of the gate. then they start removing the aoe indicators on you.

Reminder that you are beautiful and perfect and amazing and I love you and I hope you love you as well!

And if you don't or can't love you, I will love you enough for two.

I promise that one day, everything's gonna be better for you.

Thordan IS a clusterfuck to be honest, but it all comes together in such a spectacular manner, and it just clicks perfectly when you actually understand the fight. The final phase is rapid-fire mechanic after mechanic, often with 2-3 happening concurrently, but it's just such a glorious thing to behold that you can't help but love it. It really is a 10/10 fight and I'm immensely sad that I missed the initial rush to clear it.

I don't know if Sephirot to Nidhogg is really an indication of anything in particular. I think the fact that Sephirot (one of the most difficult primal fights in the game) came after Thordan (also one of the most difficult primal fights in the game) created a sort of expectation in players that that was sort of the new baseline for Extreme primal difficulty, which makes it seem like they deliberately made Nidhogg EX easy. But I think that Thordan->Sephirot was just a coincidence, and Nidhogg was just going back to the 'ordinary' EX difficulty. It's sort of like if ARR had given you Titan EX all by itself in one patch, and then the next patch had Ramuh EX, but then they followed it up with Shiva or Leviathan.

Class design is sort of a tricky issue. On the one hand, you're not really wrong, and the classes definitely feel almost overwhelmingly 'busy' compared to what all the classes were like at level 50. On the other hand, though, once you're really into a class and you do know it inside and out, it's SO much more fun than it was at level 50, and it's honestly really difficult to go back to any 50-synced content, because it just feels so simplistic and basic in comparison. There are two competing ideas there, I think, one of which is "These classes shouldn't become so complex that a player of average skill is literally only doing 50-60% of their potential", and the other is "These classes should be complex enough that a truly excellent player should be able to distinguish themselves from one who's just 'good'". It doesn't seem like SE managed to nail the balance between those two ideas, but if I'm being honest I don't know that I could do a better job of it if I tried.

I'm sorry anon, I'm also not too keen on my sharing my address. Out of ya know, someone could just come by. Thank you for your kindness, honestly. I'm just really scared of meeting up with people since the last person that was nice to me kinda fucked me over really hard so I'm still a gay baby about it. But your concern makes me feel honestly a bit better.
