How do I level crafting jobs if I don't have truckloads of gil?
No name lizard lf friends on Balmung please send tell. Given that I'm still relatively new to the game, also would enjoy pointers.
>>174456261
By leveling gathering classes and gathering everything you need to craft.

>>174456062
it's just a huge timesink. use the general training to get your troops exp to level, and you'll have it in no time. I think i had a like, 47 squaddie before i actually beat it
>>174456765
I hate you
>>174456954
No, he's just my daddy
>>174456825
wow did you do that to me...
>>174457179
Damn Ada you looking fine.
>>174457153
he probably wanted to force you into a relationship with him
every male character in this game is a self-inserting, thirsty creep
>>174457089
>samurais were known to wear armor and were usually tanky
> (like how DRGs are)
>>174457179
ban evading is against the rules
i understand that your life is so empty and shallow that you need to force yourself here daily, but take a hint and sit out your timeout, grown man king
>>174457206
I did and i sent it to you...
>>174456284
I'm also a fellow no name lizard who's somewhat new to the game. Wanna despair together about our lack of friends?
Anyone have tips on how to become an ebin? I don't want to force myself and become hated like some posters I've noticed lately, but I still want to be in the cool kids club.
>>174457179
>finally made a Midlander without an anime face
Pretty.
>>174457487
How can you tell? There's no trip, I think you just need a break from the thread.
>>174457534
What's your name? Or preferred hangout spot so I can swing by?
>>174457643
because his trip got banned, you retard
he's just posting without it
>>174457760
>>174457487
Back off other chemo, Ada is cool especially after this morning.
I feel like I have so far to go.
>>174457698If the two noname lizards meet up I'd be happy to be friends with both of em!
>>174455454
Yes hi
>>174458205
me
>>174457698
Oh, I'm currently busy with other stuff so I'm not online right now. I've got a few spots I idle at in Azys Lla, but are you going to be on much longer?
>>174455454
>>174458206
You know the drill Lethe. Turn around, bend over, pull those panties down and spread those cheeks.
>>174457643
It's a literal Liora clone, even has pink lipstick
>>174458047
I am okay with that! More the merrier. I don't get upset over not having friends on this game, but it is nice to broaden my social circle.
>>174457971

>>174458751

>>174457592
>i don't want to force myself
then you can't, i'm sorry
Should I use wfast mudfish or pingzapper? Anyone got any experience with them?
Asked last thread but no one replies ;_;
I need a BiS gear guide for DRK without the relic.
Anyone got a link?
>>174458315
I am actually not that far yet! My main class is only level 53. I will be on all day though.
Why does the aesthetician look like a complete retard
I'm not sure I trust this guy with my hair

Point to me which ebin is not hated.
>>174459065
It will cease when you eb me in game and provide me butt access anytime I need it.
>>174454960
Hi I need some advice. I played FFXIV up until last year August on PS4. I have a new computer and want to come back but I'm not sure if I want to stick with my old account or start fresh with a brand new account.
>>174459124
How do I PvP as MNK...?
>>174458951
I really like Pingzapper. Mudfish didn't seem to make any difference for me, but it's worth a shot since it's so cheap I think - maybe it'd be better for you.
>>174459197
you want to stick with your old account.
Redoing progress sucks.
Just rebuy the game on your pc with your login so you have the licence on both platforms.
Will we get new hairstyles in stormblood
>>174459234
awena you doxed someone who has been in a heated battle with you for weeks now.
>>174457971
This morning?
>>174459124
red rivers
>>174458996
Hm, then it looks like it'd have to be your hangout spot since you can't quite get to mine just yet. How long's all day? I usually get on super late around 10 PM to 2 AM MST, but I might be able to hop on briefly earlier.
>>174459124
I've honestly have never seen a single bad thing said about Felix that wasn't a friend joking.
>>174459408
Actually, I did the first bit with the reddit and tumblr accounts. Not sure who got their FB and twitter info.
>>174459124
cant be hated if you arnt remembered :thumbsup::skin-tone-1:
>>174459408
What
>>174459374
i would assume so, we usually get new hairstyles in patches and we did when heavensward released
>>174459292
Redoing old content in this wouldn't bother me. There's hardly anything about this game I dislike. But perhaps your right. Thank you.
>tfw you slog through a level, only to get 2-3 storyline quests unlocked so you can go back to slogging through more levels
FCmates take the bite out of leveling. Appreciate your FCmates and the shit they go through when they drag your ass through roulette, /xivg/.
>>174459620I remember you.<3
>>174459620
>Not remembering you
Ok cloversomething
>>174459507
I gather a lot so I sort of don't stick in one area too long. We can just meet up somewhere. I'm usually on quite a bit and I'm in the CTZ time zone so you're only an your behind me so it shouldn't be too bad!
>>174459772
>Posting an image of a box of melted Neopolitan ice cream
Also I appreciate my FC members, but even I dont like doing roulettes more than 2 times a day. If someone logs in later that day and gets mad when I say no, its quite tiresome to deal with them.
>>174459552
What did he post on Reddit?
>>174459736
Its less redoing old content more reunlockign all the nice stuff like teleporting, armory bonus, and mounts and stuff. You can always start a new character on your same account to experience the old content as well to ease yourself back into the game.
But I hope you enjoy your time back in Eorzea anon!
>>174458047
So how do we go about this whole friend thing? What's your name so I can send you a tell?
>>174459947
Just some screenshots with the cheat engine he had previously posted here. I got curious and my hunch paid off.
>>174459620
I'm sure enough of us remember youI'm indifferent about you though, since I never really knew you
>>174460041
I'm away right now, but lemme know where you two are going to meet up so I can swing by.
>>174455454
>>174460043
The odin cats post on reddit too
>>174459552
would be a shame if someone passed along his pedo works to the navy that he's supposedly a part of
highlanderz
I miss Christmas lighting in the cities...
>>174460341
Yeah, but they're pretty benign and don't intentionally bait people or derail threads.
>>174459234
>>174459490
>>174459620
All of these people get hate.
>>174459518
>that wasn't a friend joking
>picture related
Does Felix even post? All you cats look alike to me. Pretty sure being an ebin requires you to have posted here several times.
>>174460262
>3.26MB
Please for the love of god and my bandwidth use JPG format when posting. The quality is nearly the same for like 1/100 of the bandwidth.
>>174460352
Yes, it's a beautiful day for Highlanders.
>>174458817
what up
>>174458894
thanks
>>174460458
He does, he's one of those lightning hair posters.
>>174460043
post his reddit
>>174460551
your toon is ugly as shit
>>174460351
now now, no need to ruin his life
>>174456406
Send help please
>>174459891
Just tell me where and I'll come find you! I won't be able hang around long for the time being, though.
>>174460605
>lightning hair
So there isn't a single ebin, at least that anyone can name, that doesn't get hate.
>>174460352Futa?

I don't want to have to reset my router. Just go to the XIV subreddit and look up "Alphinaud is playing the wrong class." ctrl+F "But he's a Tank." and you'll find his account.

I'M GOING TO START LEWD POSTING!!!!!
At one point I thought Epperson was a chemo since he never gets banned or deleted these days and anyome insulting him is banned usually but once another chemo went for him I'm not sure anymore.
>>174461417
Does that dog have no hind legs?
>>174455454
>>174461483

>>174461483

>>174462076A not-chemo turned to the dark side to give the little shit a taste of his own medicine for once.
What mental illness is forcing people like chemo, yysara and sandcat/mado to:
1) post in this thread daily (it's not a community)
2) post the same formulaic shit, again daily

I'll try to be around Limsa probably. I usually end up there somehow. Do you have discord or anything so I don't miss you somehow?
>>174462070
u got me hahahah
>tfw been called chemo before when asking for pics
w-what does it mean if someone on my friends list is showing up as "unable to display"?
>>174463062
they deleted their character or transferred
>>174459941
If they get mad, that's their fault. Roulettes are pretty tedious, so I wouldn't force people to join mine either.
>>174460102
Negative, pixelated, and up side down? Intredasting.
>>174460551
You'd look okay, but you made a terrible decision with the lighting and the dress.
>>174463062
They transferred. :(
>>174463062
They transferred to another server.
>>174463062
they didn't like you enough to say they were transferring or quitting.
>>174462197
Attention whoring multiplied by a combination of exhibitionism and repressed homosexuality. Essentially, grown men who get off to the notion of other grown men getting off to them. They can perform mental gymnastics to refute the homosexual aspect of this by projecting this as their favorite ebins stroking their futa-cocks and ejaculating all over them. By substituting dickgirls for actual people, they can fulfill their homosexual fantasies while justifying it as perfectly heterosexual since everyone involved is, technically, a girl.
>>174463094
>>174463160
>>174463172
>>174463174

>>174462967
Chemo is the ultimate blanket term of this general. Disagree with someone's tastes and their orbit-, friend, will call you a chemo. Very visible with mado and velvet
Tsunderie and Cuckolin with ultrash have their own exclusive blanket term - paks
Drakn and soft have putt
>>174462540

>>174463116

I thought you were cool, Swirl-kun.
>>174462251
Take the boots off.
>>174463116
>>174462827
Jeez, looks like I had less time than I thought I would before I had to run again. I'm really sorry! Maybe we can try again some other time? I'll try to look for you again in the thread, fellow no name lizard.
>>174463116
>but you made a terrible decision with ... the dress.
I really like the shoulderless look, since it accentuates my collar bones. But is it just too girly for me? Too frilly and too pink?
>>174463730
you are a man
Have I missed my chance to get into FF14? There is a new expansion coming and I still haven't played the first one
>>174463441
It's just my opinion. You don't have to agree with it. I'm sure you have alternatives to fall back to.
>>174463569
Grayscale, Laplace edge detection, and some lens effect?
>>174463614
That's fine. I probably won't post again for a while but I'll keep an eye out. Take care!
>>174463730
cute man
>>174463976
I don't really have one to be honest. I only played once before because a friend asked me to and I only got to level 47 before he quit. I would probably just start a new character.
>>174463730
Highlanders are allowed to wear girly stuff! Don't stress fellow highlander!
I need friends on Excalibur. Or should I move?
>>174464342
Join the /xivg/ FC, most of them are pretty friendly.
stormblood yet?
>>174462251
What are these boots? I want them!
>people took my standing spot
>>174464387
I think I did that already, and I never got to do anything with them due to my schedule. Now that I think about it, I probably shouldn't look for friends.
>>174464585
I hate when people take my spot on the bench.
>>174463882
>alternatives
Well Greenlander only likes Highlanders and Valsi is taken.
Complimentary smack for your impudence, though.
>>174464436
Two months duder.
How do I level 50+ now? Is it any different from HW launch?
>>174464683
Just sit on it anyway they usually move.
>>174464943

Why not both?
>>174464943
A whole group of catboysfishing with me, carrying on a quiet conversation and everyone gets excited when someone lands a big fish.
I just finished all the MSQ and i've done all the EX Primals, Alex and the 24 man raid.
Is it viable for me to get a few (or all) crafting professions, the Hildebrand quests, and whatever it is they want me to do at this casino done before SB releases?
How about Beast Tribe rep? The Vanu Vanu looks like it gives a really nice mount
>>174465404
But I didn't? I just like the idea of fishing with a bunch of nice catboys since their ears really cute.
>>174465285
Yes to all of the above. Old beast tribes are very tedious (mainly the quests that require to wait around for a specific fate to spawn) but it's just easy, menial labor. Use the Ixal quests to level crafting jobs to 50, then use the Moogle quests to level them to 60. Vanu and Gnath quests are much less time-consuming than the old tribes.
Hildebrand can be done in a day, but take the time to actually read everything and enjoy it.

i heard that the best way to level is by just making shit for leves? and my friend can make them HQ for me for double exp
How can beast tribes help me with levelling crafting?
Also i saw people saying something like all to 15, cul to 37, Carpenter to 50?

>the best way to level is by just making shit for leves? and my friend can make them HQ for me for double exp
Yup, that'll do it quite nicely.
>How can beast tribes help me with levelling crafting?
Ixal and Moogle quests use crafting instead of combat. They also give disproportionately massive amounts of XP.
>Also i saw people saying something like all to 15, cul to 37, Carpenter to 50?
Yup, that's the path to get all of the most useful cross-class skills. The other level 50 skills are largely irrelevant for leveling sub-50 classes. Also, leveling to 15 can be done very quickly just by filling out your recipe log using ingredients from NPC vendors.
Side note on Ixal daily quests: different tiers of quests give you different handicaps. Some nerf your CP total, some block you from using cross-class skills. Most of the quests are still fairly easy, but it is something to be mindful of. Moogle quests are far, far easier because they don't do that.
Does heavensward have anything like level 50 had crystal tower, to quickly get geared to end game levels so I can try and do things before the new expansion?

I'm really glad there are no straight female Miqo'te, and definitely none into male Miqo'te. As a straight male Miqo'te it is nice to be able to play the game without having to worry about putting off levelling for hours of staring into each others' eyes, or putting off crafting to deeply kiss a female Miqo'te to feel the tips of her fangs on my tongue if she is a Keeper.

You need to use Quelling Strikes because BLMs absolutely SHIT out aggro.
If you're taking aggro with Quelling Strikes then yes, the tank is a faggot and probably a lalafell.
I'd really like to play Samurai in Stormblood, but i'm too scared of being that one expendable DPS on the team that probably plays like shit

Samurai and Red Mage will be competing for true Flavor of the Month status at launch. Until some faggoty streamer decides for everyone which is "better" and what the new metagame should be, at which point the wave function will collapse, and all the shitters will migrate to one class. Of course, that's assuming both classes aren't just unplayably broken out of the gate like Machinist was. Either way, some streamer will declare that one group composition is better than the rest, Reddit will adhere to this like gospel, and this idea will propagate throughout the entire game within a day or two, and anyone (who is not a streamer of at least equal fame to the original) who questions this will be branded a retarded shitter and treated as a pariah.
tl;dr: Streamers and streamer culture ruin games faster than an entire army of BR's ever could.

I'm unsure how specific your example of how things happen is, but streamers and the culture it brings definitely are guiding the video game industry as a whole in a new direction which can be good in some ways but bad in othersI think the reddit culture of upvoting and seeking approval is a problem in and of itself but I don't really visit that site except for when I'm searching something and it's at the top of google search

>>174471039
So what you're saying is that if you pick Samurai for SB there's a 50/50 chance that you get cucked off by some streamer deciding that your class is bad and that you should feel bad for playing it
I had no idea streamers had such influence on the meta
>>174471183
Just like it is everyone's responsibility to DPS as hard as possible, aggro is also everyone's responsibility. Actively trying to rip hate off the tank serves no practical purpose, unless you need time to rub one out while waiting for a rez. Likewise, the tank should be cognizant of the threat meter, but if you just got a massive crit/proc/whatever chain and are now a pixel away from pulling hate, maybe that Fire IV or Death Flare can wait a second or two so you don't get insta-gibbed or get the whole raid cleaved apart. Aggro management tools like Quelling Strikes and Elusive Jump exist for a reason. Remember, a good tank is also maximizing his DPS, and unless he's a warrior, that means not using his enmity combo. So use the tools provided to you, and let him react to this sudden shift in enmity levels rather than killing yourself just to make a point.
Okay so I feel the need to level a healer class so I can have one if I ever need one. What are the major differences/gimmicks between the three? I get that scholars get pets and astrologians get a few extra buffs but I don't know much beyond that.
What do white mages do distinctly? It seems like a lot of the spells you would go to them for can be cross classed so I'm not really sure what they can do best. In particular astrologian just seems (at a glance) like white mage+.

streamers definitely have an impact, a lot of people treat happy as a god of some sort, and of course always excited to run into him since he's a content creator
I'd say most of the people who don't raid I run into tout monk as always being the best dps/hardest to play too, not to start any discussions about that, but I'm pretty sure that isn't true, but it's still the one thing I see repeated most by people with no raid experience, though that didn't probably come from a streamer, where the hell did that sentiment come from?
>>174471952
WHM is god-awfully boring IMO I couldn't stomach it past lvl 40 or so. Scholar is nice for laid-back playing because your summon does a good chunk of the healing for you. AST has some really nice single or multi-target buffs and can shield for a % of what they healed for.
For me anyway, AST>SCH>WHM in order of fun.

>I don't know how welcome you felt in ultros, but I hope you have fun wherever you go. Post more often, too.
I didn't really do too much with everyone there since my schedule was wonky, and then I'd usually just sit around AFK for quite a bit as well. I'm on Excalibur at the moment, but I don't know about staying since my friend has pretty much quit MMOs in general. So not too sure where to head from here, but I want to get things in order before the expansion and such.
As for posting more, kind of stay away from doing so since it doesn't end well too often.

MNK is honestly dirt fucking easy. It has the easiest rotation of all the melee DPS IMO. The only reason people think it's difficult is the constant positionals, but that becomes muscle memory once you've played it enough. The only other thing is MUH STACKS but almost every other DPS job has those to worry about, it's just a matter of knowing the fights.
>>174472838
I have no clue, seeing as how they changed blackmage, bard, and dragoon in heavensward they can just as easily make changes to existing jobs in stormsblood
what I'm doing is leveling drg, ast, and a tank to 70, then doing whatever else unless there's maybe a specifically really op job that I might switch to, you should just have a couple of things ready to level perhaps based of a role you prefer
if you just want me to guess what the safest classes are going to be, probably DRK, AST, DRG, and NIN
there's little hints of them being nerfed, though guess the globalization of utility may cause some concern for NINs, but I still think those 4 will be fine
>>174473074
How do you have the gall to call anything dirt fucking easy when you're shit at the game?
>>174471946
The odds aren't 50/50, since it's possible that the streamer in question will declare both classes sub-optimal and tell everyone to stick with the old jobs. But yeah, that's the idea. The vast majority of people just play the game however Reddit tells them to, and Reddit just parrots what the e-famous streamers say. Very few people have any desire to think for themselves, hence why everyone just follows the guides for everything, right down to what skill rotations to use. Nevermind that any given class's optimal rotation can be solved in under an hour with a spreadsheet and some 8th grade algebra. And nevermind that any given fight mechanic essentially boils down to a choice of getting close to the boss, getting far away from the boss, standing in a predetermined spot relative to the boss, standing in a predetermined spot of absolute designation, or standing in a predetermined spot relative to another player. Or possibly a combination of those choices performed simultaneously or sequentially. There is not a single element of the PVE in this game that is legitimately complex. The mechanics are deceptively simple, but they tend to punish you with instant death, which can lead to irreversible wipes because of other mechanics going completely haywire when the prescribed eight warm bodies in a class configuration of 2/2/4 are not present when it snapshots for activation and throughout its duration. Zurvan is a good example of this, where anyone being dead when tethers go out is highly problematic.
Anyway, the point is that streamers and their fans ruin games. Not just this one. Path of Exile is a very good example of this concept.
Also, don't abandon a job just because a streamer told you. Classes will most likely be heavily rebalanced in the early patches, and the meta will shift back and forth as a result. The only guaranteed job security is Machinist and Bard, unless another job gets an equivalent to mana song.
>>174471952
White Mage and Astrologian have a lot of similar spells and in some respects play similarly, but imo shuffling and throwing cards makes AST play distinctly. It sorta reminds me of ninja, although not as fast. I really love playing white mage, I think it has a nice flow to it and it has some great animations, but AST is just better right now. They're close to equivalency in terms of healing power, but even if WHM nudges it out in a couple areas that extra healing is just superfluous and unnecessary. Whereas WHM has nothing like the stupefying power of Balance. Plus AST has excellent MP management, whereas WHM requires a very careful hand or a suboptimal gearset (at least this tier-- pretty much made you choose between sps/pie and crit/det) to get through even a smooth run of a fight without running dry, assuming you are pushing out a lot of damage and healing.
WHM can deal fucktons of DPS, in many ways the class reminds me of swinging a big sledgehammer around in a circle. But even that can't match the cards.
Scholar is pretty fun too, it can be pretty neat and it's incredibly powerful. I think it's the easiest of the three to get good at. I find it less exciting than the other two though, unless shit really hits the fan then it's frantic.

>>174473795
Simple really.
The team composition that is mathematically proven to kill bosses faster than anything else is the optimal team.
Jobs that are mathmatically proven to contribute less damage overall, have a harder time tanking, or be the healer have the most unnecessarily healing combined with the least damage fall out of favor in the meta.

People like to pretend they're playing the game the smartest, but most of the time they don't actually bother to learn why things might be good or bad, or keeping up on what changes might have occurred after learning whatever it is they're sticking to. You see it a lot in anything where you can have an "optimal" way of doing things. It's especially awful in MOBAs when every mouth-breather considers themselves an expert.
It's much more rewarding to sit down and figure things out for yourself, or sit down and talk with others to figure stuff out than it is to just follow the leader who spent all of a minute looking at something.

What does that even matter though? A shitter playing on a top-tier dps is still going to be a shitty dps. And a top-tier player on a shitty dps will still put out acceptable numbers.
The whole purpose of a metagame acts on the assumption that players are of equal skill, which is why it makes sense for something like a mobage where players competing against one-another are in the same general skill bracket so meta picks make sense.

You just contradicted yourself in some sense, the assumption is that the player is of some skill, yeah a good player can do better than a bad player on other jobs, but can the individual do better than oneself on a bad job than a good job
I didn't really follow the thread of discussion, but part of being meta is also because it can be better suited to an encounter or mold together with the most common jobs for other roles
>>174474452
To be fair Gordias is to blame for a lot of this.
Gordias truly required you to push out the absolute highest potential DPS. PLDs were compleatly left to rot in that raid tier because every single point of DPS mattered and PLDs simply could not keep up with WARs or DRKS.
The mentality created by Gordias kinda stuck with the community ever since.

Dick waving, mostly. People seem to think that finding some way to shave 1 second off of a 12 minute fight is a major accomplishment, and posting their methodology will get them tons of Reddit karma and make them e-famous. Also, nobody is willing to think outside the box, and questioning Mr Happy is an act of heresy, so practices become dogma very quickly. It's the true definition of memetics at work.
That being said, a bit of algebra can definitively say that one class produces X potency per second more than another, under a given set of circumstances. But yes, those differences tend to be trivially small unless you're artificially manipulating the circumstances, such as stacking a group to push one person to the top of a parse ranking
Even best in slot lists are largely irrelevant. For example, I built a spreadsheet of multiple gear sets for an i270 Dragoon to account for differences in relic stats, materia, etc, before someone actually built an app to do this automatically. The app ended up producing the same result I did, but what was noteworthy was that the difference in total stat values between the hyper optimized set and a random assortment of drops that just happened to produced the mandatory values of Accuracy and Skill Speed was less than 3%. Such a small difference would fall into the noise floor on a typical parse. To produce a gap as large as 4 - 5%, I had to go out of my way to create a counter-optimized set. Gear optimization in this game is truly an illusion of choice.

As awful as that sounds, large linkshells generally don't survive. Once you hit a certain number of people, a once active linkshell turns to silence until everyone eventually leaves or branches off.
Beauty is a sin.
O GOD
How do you feel about this feline? I tried face 2 but it only works with like 1-2 hairs. Wish I could try on the one with a hat.
All this talk of meta has me genuinely curious now - just how much of a gap is there right now between meta shit and non meta shit? Like between the best DPS and worst DPS is it actually massive difference or is it just redditors pushing up their glasses going "aykshyualee ith a 2% dpth increathe"

Congratulations!
>>174475468
It's somewhere between that, if you assume equal player skill in an encounter that's just as favorable to each (which doesn't exist). I couldn't give you any kind of mathematical ranking or anything like that, it would just be speculation, but the difference is probably in the "couple hundred" DPS range when you're talking about people doing 2-3k overall. But that assumes a lot of shit. Under non-controlled conditions, a suboptimal or even outright bad team comp in legitimately skilled hands is gonna put a 100% optimal one played by average/below average players in the dirt.

>>174475313
Yes, the mechanical design of Paladin is truly horrible. The bulk of their functionality is bypassed if the enemy uses magic-based attacks. RNG-based mitigation (like Block) is useless since most raid-level attacks are either trivially small (making the mitigation irrelevant) or kill you instantly (meaning you have to expend cool downs, because relying on Block will kill you and instantly wipe the raid). Those instant-kill tank busters have to be balanced to be survivable by the tank class with the least mitigation, and any mitigation beyond that will ultimately just cause you to be overhealed that much more, since the healers are going to have to heal you to full either way.
Thus, tanking essentially boils down to a binary state being dead or not. Any mitigation or self-healing beyond that is largely extraneous. This is due in large part to boss damage consisting of long periods of irrelevant auto-attacks punctuated by predictable, scripted spike damage. Passive mitigation outside of those spikes is mathematically irrelevant most of the time, and active mitigation is all that matters during the spikes.
Because of this, the apparent benefits of the Paladin are rendered mostly moot. All tanks are able to achieve the requisite level of survival, so the only thing truly differentiating them is typical DPS levels, where the Paladin almost universally lags behind the competition. The fact that the content present in the game plays specifically toward the strengths of Dark Knights, while the Warrior works equally well across nearly all situations, is just icing on the proverbial cake.

The top 1% are up front about what they are looking for, and they will often expect you to be skilled with multiple jobs within the same role, e.g., being able to play any melee, or any caster. I think you'd find a few high-end groups that would let you play what you liked for progression and then have you switch to the optimal job for speedkills. Any average or above-average midcore group is gonna let you play whatever you want as long as you demonstrate you are skilled with it. Sorta like in real life, it's the wannabes who are the real sticklers about shit.

The game really needs to do what Warcraft did and move to bigger healthpools and add in more consistent tank(or raid) damage to fights so that Healers actually have healing to manage instead of it being nothing but shielding and then precasting a big heal.

SCH is the optimal healer for doing damage because their pet isn't effected by Cleric's Stance and its Embrace potency alone is more than a WHM/AST's regen. Double the potency, in fact.

This has been the hardest part of trying to play an alt. There are so many parts of AAR where the game pulls the drag chute and kills my interest. Right now I can't talk myself into getting past the Sylphs after you fight Ifrit.
>>174476827
Paladin mitigation would be broken if they had that.
>>174476649
Agreed.
160-189 are going to be your run killing floors. 190-200 can still be a challenge, but it's mostly an exercise in how much you can brute force it.
>>174476827
Mitigation is pointless beyond survival. The DPS meta means the tanks that do the most will be kept around. PLD needs damaging gimmicks.

>>174477008
If Flash gets a DoT effect, it needs to not have any additional damage. Flash being able to continue generating enmity on invulnerable enemies is a neat quirk currently.
>>174476078
Most (not necessarily all) self-proclaimed "hardcore" groups will typically obey the current meta. "Midcore" groups will probably be much more flexible. Of course, most "hardcore" groups are just self-important fools who think they are "ub3r l33t r41d3rz" because they killed some endgame content by precisely copying the methodology of a legitimately good group. They will have to copy that group's makeup 100%, because any deviation might risk the pre-approved strategy no longer working as anticipated. After all, they're attempting to reproduce expected results with laboratory conditions, so any change in the variables will disrupt the experiment.
That being said, most fights are such tightly scripted games of jump rope that there really isn't much room for deviation from a previously observed solution. Even group compositions other than the pre-approved 2/2/4 are usually untenable due to mechanics acting erratically because they're hard-coded for that exact makeup, such as mechanics meant to target healers being sent a random individual, who may not have the tool set to deal with it. And outside of extreme scenarios like pre-nerf A3, the slight differences in DPs expected from various group compositions is largely irrelevant, making class choice another illusion of choice.
polish child predators are not welcomed here.
>>174476880

This isn't true, especially if they decide to fuck SCH's fairy, less time healing the tank is more time healers have and can afford to dps with, if you have a completely broken tank that doesn't need heals for dumb amounts of time, that is just as good as a tank doing some more dps but needs heals often, it depends how they craft the raid fights more than anything

post beepy melt down logs
The XIV meta issue seems like more of an issue with design flaws than the community. People wouldn't need this stupid meta comp garbage if encounters weren't so tightly tuned with dps requirements needing tanks or healers to squeeze out every bit of extra dps they can to succeed.
Imo the tank's dps "requirement" should be the bare minimum they require to pull to keep emnity off of any dps playing their rotation correctly - anything else is a bonus. Healer dps should be minimal as well, and anything they can contribute with healing downtime is a bonus. Requiring tanks and healers to put out so much dps just to not wipe on bosses is poor design.

if the "fuck SCH's fairy" in such a way that it is affected by Cleric Stance, they can afford to buff it significantly, at least. I'd say that's a much better outcome than "refuse to fix the problem and just try to nerf the fairy so that it always sucks"

The thing is, this mitigation will only make a difference on progression and do nothing once you get geared because you want to bring the tanks that deal more damage. That and it's better to have a DRK and WAR because when you're a WAR tanking stuff you never have to worry about the DRK stealing threat because they don't have an enmity generator on their DPS combo.

Well see this is the thing. I actually don't see the problem with the current tank meta. What's wrong with progressing initially with the easier tank (PLD) and switching to a different tank when you want to push your clear times and farm?
....Do PLD players know that tanks share armor? Or are they just autistic and need to 'main' sword and shield babymode class?
Paging any catboy using face 2
>>174476582
I agree conceptually. Group healing is largely trivial in this game since it once again revolves around scripted spike damage. Either everyone has the requisite max HP and survives with all the time in the world for a Medica or two to fix things, or they get insta-gibbed. Most damage dealt to non-tanks is just a penalty for failing a mechanic, and it is usually such an absurd amount that it guarantees a one-hit kill. Since there are only two healers, and they are both restricted to the GCD, outside of a few long cooldowns, there is a very finite amount of continuous damage that a party is capable of soaking. And nothing can be designed around the healing capabilities of other classes, since they are by no means equal. For example, the time gates in A12S meant for DPS classes cannot hit so hard as to mandate the use of Blood Bath for survival because not all DPS classes have access to it. (This sort of conundrum may be part of the reasoning behind the total rework of the cross-class skill system in 4.0.) The great downfall of all classes being supposedly viable for any given content means that the specialized utility of a class cannot ever be spotlighted as it would render other classes unusable and force groups further into pre-determined metagame setups. This is the great problem of only having 8 slots on a raid instead of 24, 54, or what have you.

Fat, autistic grown men like him should sit it out like Selzh did, instead of evading only so they can get gratification with slutposting here.
>>174486491
MOMMY
>it will never be Christmas again
Is mado having a mental breakdown? He has never replied to shrek up until today as he finds him repulsive (the irony)

mommy can you lift me up so i can get ice cream from the freezer
>>174486995
>>174486778
Thanks for outting yourself, Selzh.
Of course a shiteater like you would be obsessed with shitposting and "fecaliths".

Sorry, that Elezen is already part of my xivg harem. I already made a retainer in her likeness so I can dress her up in lewd outfits, as I do with all my favorite ebins. As such, I have marked her as my territory. Please respect my claim.

The complete void of self-awareness and self-esteem drives any sane person from this general.

>>174489721
the amount of ugly in this screenshot is outrageous
>>174489258
Overreactive people like chemo entirely drove them off the board. Playing any short or flat chested character in this game is considered pedophilia according to the people in these threads.

Is it Elezen hour yet?
Does anyone on Excalibur want to be my friend?
>>174491395
I hope Stormblood adds onsens to the housing districts so I can get drunk with a cute elezen in one.
is there really no option to show cooldown timers on your hotbar abilities? i am struggling to find the option
>>174491129
Yes he is.
>>174488079
>>174491395
Perhaps.
Is the leveling process the same for levels 50-60 as it was when HW launched?
why are true thrust and vorpal thrust even a thing when i can just spam impulse drive for higher dps and almost same tp usage

When does HW stuff pick up? I'm having a hell of a time adjusting to it.
>>174492431
take a fucking guess
I'm sure you can work it out
>>174491831
there is, i think it's even on by default, the tp/mp cost will be replaced by the cooldown after being used
is this game worth playing as a new player
>>174492404
Is it back to running dungeons for the best leveling?
Will they be douches and push back overdue content "so players aren't distracted" come 4.0?
>>174492573
Well, you can give it a try cause free trial's up to level 30 for all classes.
>>174492553
i did work it out and impulse drive is flat out better, it's +10 potency per gcd with no other downside, why does the combo even exist then?
>>174492787
Japanese developers.
>>174492787
look at the skills you get later, it's dumb that they give you those two early on and then impulse drive which does more damage, but each forms the base of a different combo that you will use when you are higher level . But yeah, it's stupid that for 26 levels you put up heavy thrust and spam impulse drive.
>>174492787
It is until you get the rest of your combos.
>>174492787
COMBOS ARE 3 GCDS
YOU GET THE REST LATER
>>174492481
>I'm so beta that I'm going to purposefully play retarded until the healer gets the hint rather than speaking up like a normal well-adjusted person might.
>>174493009
These people are beyond helping. All talking will do is make them angry and sperg out i'd rather punish them
>>174492787
I'd bet LNC/DRG has probably the most retarded skill growth as a class/job, it makes no sense a lot of the time, though BLM 60 is pretty humorous in its own way
>>174492481
what a passive aggressive little bitch lol
>>174493345
Agreed.
>>174492481
I bet your parents hate taking you out to restaurants.
>>174493496
Yeah, it's pretty terrible. And it's made worse by the fact that you don't get an AOE until the mid-40's unless you stay a Lancer and cross-class Blizzard 2.
>>174493498
800dps drg spotted
>>174493496
It wouldn't surprise me if it was a deliberate design choice tbqh. Dragoon is by far the most shitter-bait class available at the start, making it work in such a way that rewards any combination of button mashing in the first 25 levels is a good way to make runs with those people less awful.
When I pick my starting class to I have to get it all the way to 30 and go to next job first or can I just stop at 15 and go level any other class?
>>174493639
Good thing you don't need to worry about being in a dungeon with me because I will vote dismiss you for being bad and I have 0 doubt that you are bad.
Let's pair a dragoon with a bard that's fair
>>174491865
...
I'll take it.
>>174492482
MCH's problem is it only hits its true value at level 60. That's when it becomes a complete job. Sucks I know. Be glad you weren't there at the start when they hit like a wet newspaper across the knee.
But don't worry, the fighting will start soon. The beginning is mostly just to introduce you to Ishgard and your kindly hosts. Things will start to pick up and you'll start to become a big damn hero.
>>174493671
>>174493641
Well those things, and one of my biggest gripes with it was how BotD, Wheeling Thrust, and Fang and Claw come in, it really feels like they're all suppose to be one package, but they split it up anyways even though the latter two do the same exact thing, except the skills get worse when you actually have to worry about which one procs
I know it's easy enough with practice, but still when you're leveling and getting the skills, I had to actually google if there was any difference I was missing
Hey, /xivg/, help a retard like me install the nude mod for this game please. Where do I find it?
>>174493753
How will anyone tell who is bad when one person is doing less damage than is optimal, but the other dude is rolling his face in all the aoes and trying to lick up all the lava.
>>174493980
Anon lost to the two weakest feast jobs.
>>174492249
Anyone happen to know what's best to do during that range?
>>174494050
While doing the only measurable amount of damage in the dungeon.
>>174493980
Dragoon makes bard just way way stronger with its crit buff and piercing debuff. So anon got out-pvp'd by them
>>174494109
Which two are the strongest in your opinion?
>>174494262
Now I kinda want to know what would trigger other people first. Me being bad or you throwing a tantrum.
>>174494504
You wouldn't be able to tell between me being bad and me purposely doing shit like that, noob.
All it takes is a simple "my bad man" and they forget about it and I go back to being a pain in the ass.
>>174494419
mnk mch
>>174494642
I appreciate you take pride in your work, even if it just means that you're being a different flavour of bad.
>>174494893
Don't you have some potd to do, grey parse shitter?
>>174494217
I think you should just keep up with your msq + job quests, and spam potd. If you're a tank (maybe healer) you can probably supplant potd with the highest dungeon available.
>>174495169
Well I wasn't going to but now that you mention it I think I might go do every single room and open every single chest and fight every single mob.
>>174493843
t-thanks anon, that's reassuring
>>174495397
No worries. The story for HW is pretty solid, it just takes its time getting you into this new frontier before escalating everything. Let the dreary, awfulness of Ishgard wrap you up like a cocoon of despair and prepare to rip your way free as only you the Warrior of Light can do.
>>174495343
Good thing I don't suck and don't have to grind POTD for a weapon like you. Have fun being ilevel 255 forever.

>expecting undergeared healer to dps
>expecting undergeared healer to heal you through retarded shit
you might have a point if that healer was overgeared and not doing anything
>>174495793
>spend 12 hours a day 4 days a week doing the same scripted fight for a month just to validate your existence
>it's all irrelevant in the next patch
Must be hard having nothing else going for you in life.
>>174493749
You can stop and level a different class any time you want. You'll just have to get the primary to 30 and the secondary to 15 to unlock the corresponding job. If you wanted you could go level six classes to level 4 it doesn't matter. Obviously that may not be the most efficient approach but you get my point.
how come the necklace I started the game with that says item level 5 adds +1 to every single stat and the necklace I got from a level 10 quest that says item level 8 only adds +1 to str and dex
>>174496279
>being undergeared at this point
>being this lazy and bad
>>174496335
spotted the bad
So they previously announced that they wouldn't be planning to implement the story catch-up potion thing in NA/EU before Stormblood releases right? Isn't that like an incredibly stupid decision? Do they just straight up not want any new players to get into the game?
>>174496773
Can't wait to see you NEET up SB because you got nothing else going for you.
>>174496731
That must be some special necklace. It doesn't make a big difference either way.
>>174496731
it's special
>>174496773
the point is you don't need to act autistic to make that healer work because there's a good chance their shit gear already forces them to
>>174496731
because one is worth 5 item levels and the other is worth 8 item levels
>>174496841
Nah they need to work extra to account for being bad and not trying to dps.
>>174496773
Just because you don't like it doesn't mean It's bait. It's true.
>>174496731
They give everyone those nice little starter accessories, they have +1 to everything so that you can use them no matter what class you start as
>>174496907
you'd be dead if they did

>>174497004
This is my experience with raiding in any MMO, tank and heal slots fill up mega quick unlike with dungeons, it's the opposite of what you get in leveling
>>174497039
the majority of the playerbase - at least that i've dealt with on Behemoth - are all pretty chill and friendly about new players
>>174497039
>being undergeared while doing 3.5 content
Quit being lazy, noob.
can you change your name with fantasia?
Is it possible to make a character on Balmung, or can I only really transfer to it?
>>174497039
Don't worry about it, people like that are in the minority. I've run way too many dungeons in my time and the number of people who have played that bad intentionally or otherwise were few and far between.
I've seen some shit lemme tell ya, the worst you'll get 99% of the time is just people who are mediocre at their class/job.
>>174496335
Spotted the turboshitter who keeps making excuses. The only time an investment like that is required is when you're doing world first progression, and you definitely are not world-first material.
when/how do I get flying in HW?
>>174497582
level 52 i think
it's super early on regardless
>>174497247
Nope
>>174497278
Realistically you are going to have to transfer. There's a very very very small chance to squeak in after maintenance, but since you didnt' make it in the salast one you should probalb yjust transfer now.

Make up your fucking mind.
Is it time for Stormblood yet?
>>174497762
dude what in the shit are you evne referencing
should I put enhanced or extended balance on blms and summoners?
>>174498174
blm
>>174498174
Enhanced for mob pulls.
Extended for bosses.
>>174498174
If before the fight put it on a SMN for aoe pulls otherwise BLM
balance won't do much at all for a summoner who has already been fighting since they already bane'd
>>174498235

>>174498174
SMN is a very bad target for solo cards because it doesn't buff their pet which is a large chunk of their DPS. BLM are perfectly fine targets for Balances (and basically the best class for arrows) as long as they aren't shit.
>this is one of the questions asked in the "ask the devs" thread for the next live letter
>>174498445
thatd be really awkward to position and set up
>>174498383
i get nude for pets
>>174498174
Are you talking about just those two or in general? Because if it's the latter then you want to put it on MCH w/ buffs > casters w/ buffs (I think? not sure) > BRD/melee w/ buffs, without buffs it's probably ideal on DRG/NIN, though I really don't know how good sustained dps for casters is.

Go back to the Fortemps house in Ishgard, the quests to resume the MSQ should be there. If you don't know where that is just go to Ishgard and go look for a Fortemps house guard in the ritzy area of Ishgard.
Some of the dungeons will unlock over the course of the MSQ and others are dotted around the landscape, if you're desperate just look it up. You'll mostly get better gear from dungeon loot and also spending tomestones for better gear in Idyllshire. There'll be lots of stuff all added all over the place, just take it easy and at your own pace.

No problemo, I can't remember where all the dungeons not related to the MSQ are but lots of them (and lots of other stuff added) are unlocked in Idyllshire. I'd recommend just going around to all the capitals and checking to see if there's any new quest symbols up.
