Ninja or Machinist?
>>
>>376632903
Depends on your playstyle.

I personally have a MCH, it requires you to handle cooldowns correctly for Wildfire and a lot of praying to God about proccs when you're out of ammo and are fishing for slug and cleaner shot. I find it fun as hell, though your mileage may vary.

Just remember to get all the cross-class skills. Blood for Blood is a fucking requirement on MCH, just like most other classes. Same goes for Hawk Eye. They are extremely important for your Wildfire DPS.
>>
All the classes suck
>>
>>376632903
NIN because they will get a whole expansion pandering them, plus a better summon than anything actual summoners have.

On paper, they are both support DPS.

MCH if you commit to that beautiful pvp gun

Dumb question but how is NIN a support dps?

Why does everyone hate MCH? It's a really fun job to play, even if you're average at it and just about better than BRD in every aspect. BRD needs to be redesigned completely or given 100% mobility back.

If you can farm any ex primal you can farm A10S. What job do you play?
>>
>>376634932
gives slashing, goad, shade, smoke, trick attack

yes, war handles the slashing but you can tell the devs insisted nin exist so you'd see more drk/pld groups, but turns out its better in every way to just let nin ride storms eye for a massive dps increase

Big damage as in good damage? Is Machinist much better than Ninja?
>>
>>376635281
I'm the guy who asked. WAR main. If you're running with pugs, the biggest issue is probably cooldown rotation. Do you typically pull? Is the first tether skipped? I'll always holmgang that for the swap and just spam eye, for example, to give you more breathing room later. If adds are your issue, well, using a PLD or DRK invuln is typically the superoir choice anyway since getting vuln on them is mandatory.

Played at top ability, MCH is the best DPS in the game with output comparable to dedicated melee jobs, trailing only slightly behind numerically when contrasted to MNK, who nobody wants anyway.

Mch is the most fun class in general, but too overpowered

>>376635426
No, nothing is skipped. I pull the add, power slash it and 80% of the time I lose aggro, add turns and casts the aoe.

>>376635628
Which proves that dps are played by casuals.

Oh you mean the clone? Sorry I thought you meant the last phase gobbies. For that guy, you shouldn't be losing hate after a combo'd PS with or without DA unless your healers are straight up spamming. Your DPS shouldn't be focusing the add right away, either. PS it as you have been, pop BW and do 1-2 more PS rotations while dragging him away. Don't gather for the Single Charge; it'll hurt, but the add barely does. One tetra and the damage you take from the Single Charge will be made up for. It's more important that the add's cleave is far and away anyways. If you have a NIN, shadewalker should be back up around that time too if you still need more.

It is easy, it's just that even that's too hard for casuals. I mean, dps just handle the mechanics but they don't have to do the extra stuff tanks and healers do. And the thing is, tanks and healers have to worry about doing as much dps as possible on top of those extra duties.

>>376635956
I'd redo Cure III, make it an AoE that heals around the selected friendly target. Maybe redo Benediction so it's a buff, and if you get hit for a lethal amount while it's up you get healed to full.

Honestly, WHM faces a similar problem most pureblood healers do. Classes with utility will just take over because they offer utility, and if you buff the pure healer's throughput you risk making the other healers too shit.

I really want to try to be a tank, but pugs are really annoying me.

I start off all my runs with saying I'm new to tanking so just let me know if I should do anything differently.

Of course, some asshole DPS doesn't let me gain aggro or just pulls 6 other mobs while I'm still tanking a trash pull. Why do they do this? This ain't a GGL lore farm. Why can't I set the pace?

The proportions of roe artwork are junk too. Only fan art make them look good.

>let you gain aggro

Unless you are below level 30, you should easily be able to pick up aggro on everything. If you are below level 30, it doesn't matter.
>>
>>376636482
Remember: Everyone in this game is bad. That's seriously the springboard by which you need to approach content in this game.

That being said, letting the tank control the pace of a dungeon run is part of proper team play. DPS who are pulling mobs for you are being bad by putting excess and unneeded stress on multiple players who are ON THEIR TEAM and don't seem to realize that.

That said, get used to pre-empting this. Pull as much as you can and learn to rotate your CDs intelligently. The sooner you use something, the sooner it's back up later. You do set the pace, but get used to setting the pace to more than you think you can handle - then you'll realize you could handle it all along.

And fucking upgrade your weapon first if you don't already. Too many new tanks prioritize their armor instead.

Even though the heals are larger I'm not used to not having a pet handling filler damage. You can heal a stupid party with a SCH easy but with WHM its hard as fuck to do so and have any MP remaining for DPS especially AOE DPS. I do love the class and the damage and CDs it has.

You can have BiS or isynced shit and pull the wrong mobs in that dungeon and die with a good healer i'm imagining taking off tank stance of all things. Thats retarded. On a side note fuck that dungeon. Massive spike in difficulty for no reason especially for healing. The Dragon aevis hit HARD and if they crit after you toggle cleric that a dead tank.

Here and there sure but otherwise it does nothing else besides increase your ability to live and lower your dps. Hell some drk think they have to have grit off and only use darkside "for teh dps tanking"

That'll turn cure3 into another tetra, really. Kinda pointless. What should happen is that Cure2's proc makes Cure3 free, and cure3 should also replenish MP and TP.

Yeah I don't know what you're talking about, I'm just saying that a good DRK can't leave Darkside up all the time. Ideally, if the distance in between pulls is enough for a few mp ticks, you should be dropping Darkside to recover.

Also, while you generally can't drop Grit during pulls in leveling dungeons, you can absolutely do this for most bosses. It won't kill you, especially if you can cover yourself with cooldowns.

>using swiftcast on a fire IV
enjoy tripping on a mechanic and losing enochian before it's off cooldown.
>>
>>376642024
Okay well the problem with that is that SCH's deploy off WAR, especially when it crits, already lets you basically not worry about certain mechanics randomly killing people (towers in Nidhogg EX, some parts of Brute Justice intermissions), if you add stoneskin on top of that, and if by some miracle you can also stack PLD's shield on top of this... You'll basically go to double HP on everybody. This is difficult to balance against because you can't make mechanics hit for that much or this trick would be required.

Maybe there's other ways to buff WHM, like letting them cast some spells on the run so they can do mechanics while healing? That'd be a unique strength.
>>
>>376642148
Unfortunately, you're not a WAR, so if your gear sucks in a leveling dungeon compared to your party members, you're gonna need to stay in Grit for a bit.
>>
>>376641873
>especially if you can cover yourself with cooldowns.

this is the general response from most people arguing about turning on/off grit during battles. I see alot-o-tanks use their cooldowns way before a big fight, for one-two groups.

It's either a shitty drk complaining about mana, or a pld without shield oath dead and typing in ???????????????????? after he pulls 10 mobs and dies.
>>
>>376640227
If it's a competent group, shit'll be mostly dead after the Holy stun wears, so it'd be a waste of a BP.

If anything the DRK ought to drop Grit if they know they're with a DPSing WHM and go to town.

Wait what. If your point is that mechanics don't hit that hard, and can't, then why would you be stacking the shields in the first place? Not to mention, you can already shield for no damage for mechanics AND they don't usually stack in the first place.

10% more hp shield stacking wouldn't a problem and even if it someone became one, you can just make it unstackable. Stoneskin sucks bro.

>That'll turn cure3 into another tetra, really. Kinda pointless.
It could, but I also see it as a better indom or assize to prevent you or your co-healer from wasting a gcd to aoe heal.

>What should happen is that Cure2's proc makes Cure3 free, and cure3 should also replenish MP and TP.
Seems like too big of a what-if though. You rarely use cure2 anyways outside of cure 1 proccing it, so the chances of getting a cure 3 proc are even lower. You just approach AST levels of card RNG frustration with this.

>>376641801
>healing strength is not the problem with WHM so this doesn't really change a whole lot.
It was the best cure 3 change I could think of without being too excessive or changing it altogether. I'd rather they just get rid of it and make something else.

>This needs a cooldown more than Cure 3 idea
Only reason I didnt consider one is because its really handy as it is now after every pull. Manually stoneskinning everyone each pull fucking sucks.

>Ridiculously strong but your monks will all hate you for it. Implying a monk in a raid.
I thought so too, but then you look at AST using aoe balance and I think it's fine.
>your monks will all hate you for it.
Making it reduce tp costs would only make it stronger and I didn't want to push it.

Because it lets you take extra damage you would avoid otherwise.
Back when people were 230 I used to deploy adlo before the tower-tether phase in Nidhogg so nobody would die from Super Jump by taking too much damage. In a difficult raid like A8S this would help dealing with large incoming damage by insuring nobody will die from randomly standing 5 cm off. In A4S it would let you not worry about nisi ticks coupling with Mortal Revolution. Of course we're unlikely to get such raids ever again.

This is a picture of the new MNK ability that was also in the benchmark, while all of this shit is vague and I wish they would just tell us what the spells do I can't see this as anything other than some sort of buff or defensive CD.

In the trailer the MNK casts fists of earth before this spell, which makes me to believe it might change the effect depending on what stance you are in when you use it, hopefully raid utility that buffs everyone with it.

The way they're bragging about little skill pruning and trying to sell it as some kind of qualitative gameplay change should basically tell you everything you need to know.

I thought marketing focus on housing and empty swimming was a bad sign but that's probably just because they want more social image for their game - although not having anything underwater besides a little gathering is fairly sad.

I fucking hate NIN aesthetics even though I play the job the most. Why can't we be given the option to toggle the stupid run off?
>>
I hope the job quests give us 2 traits and 3 new actions, they could add some really fun traits if they wanted to.

Such as giving MNK chakra stacks after completing a combo, which could allow for a SS focused melee class and solve TP issues in the process. They could add onto it by adding more chakra abilities, like a GL4 you have to consume stacks to activate but would be a powerful buff that makes tornado kick free in addition to other shit.

If I have 14 chakras, why can I only get 5 stacks? Storing stacks to dump into internal release window with forbidden chakra spam would be fun as fuck.

You don't give Ninjas fucking Arrows end of discussion. They cap their skill speed and have auto-arrow on all the time using huton so it's completely wasted.

BLM is first priority arrow always, even if they do more damage than the NIN or MNK or MCH or whatever the fuck else is the party.

Also never give Arrow to a MCH (again, wasted since MCHs procc instant casts all the fucking time), DRGs with low TP, tanks and MNKs don't like it either.

Running old dungeons isn't even that bad. But fuck the fate shit.

I'd rather they do a "Do 100 fates in the following zones" mechanic instead of sitting in a zone for potentially fucking days trying to get a drop that some other faggot gets by his third fate completion. At least it would be a static goal that you can track and not random 2% drop rate bullshit that consumes all of your playtime.

I've found that usually it's people who came from another game where they could set up a chain macro to one key and repeatedly step through a 1-2-3 combo, with only 3-4 more keys used to pop meta cooldowns. These people resent the number of abilities in XIV, and are perpetually angry that people keep telling them to use more shit or that they aren't able to play by pressing a single button 90% of the time. Hell, I have a friend who refused to try XIV a couple years ago because when he learned it couldn't be single-keyed he said it "doesn't respect players' time".

I've been trying to think about how you'd do a pet tank in an MMO, and I've finally come up with something that might work. People usually shit on XIV's pets for being shit, but I think they'd actually work better for a tank than the pets in other MMOs.

My Idea came from these Warlock talents in WoW.

>Soul Link: [passive] 20% of all damage you take is taken by your demon pet instead.
>Dark Pact: Sacrifices 20% of your demon's current health to shield you for 400% of the sacrificed health for 20 sec.

Instead of tanking with your pet, your pet is the basis for your tanking so:

Puppetmaster
>Weapon: Two-Handed Mace (Or whatever)
>Puppet is now more like a Magic Voodoo Doll that you offload your pain and damage onto
>Instead of an activated aura like Grit or Defiance, you offload X% of your damage onto your puppet and generate more emnity when it's up
>Cooldowns offload more damage onto the puppet
>Rotational abilities heal the Puppet
>You can blow your puppet up or something for damage, and then gain a Damage boost based off of the damage it absorbed over the period you kept it up, or something
>Re-summon as needed
>>

I don't think anybody ever did anything silly such as ranged tanks or pet tanks because they go against the whole design of tanking (which you have to do with your face). By making something like a separate entity that you share abilities with... Well, what is the point? It's no different whether the pet exists or not because you both have to be positioned the same anyway. Which is another problem - positioning the boss with a pet would be a nightmare. Not to mention that if you could offload debuffs onto your pet since it's a separate entity it would kill the tank swap concept reducing the need for offtank and if you couldn't then again, what's the point of a pet.

Honestly I just don't understand this desire for something outlandish as that.

why not put the entire smn's skill set as pet skill instead? now your pet truly have the spot light, more than you.

>>376655879
>every skill now has a 1-3 second delay

how about no.
>>
>>376656026
Might as well stop playing nsm and start worshiping beast master when they come out.
>>
>>376655879
Because we both know you're being a retard and that it your "solution" is retarded since it accomplishes nothing but shifting abilities and addresses absolutely nothing. SMN needs a rework or a name change because it's a poor excuse for a pet class.

It's cross data-center so you're queueing with the whole Chaos. It's just that no one wants to otionally run Sastasha

>Honestly I just don't understand this desire for something outlandish as that.

To do something fun and original? Why add another bread and butter tank? The best tanks in MMOs are the weird ones, like Brewmaster in WoW or several of the weirder tanking spec in Rift.

also note how this didn't even start til aymerics outfit came out
>>
>one month from release
>still no details

>>
>>376656383
>also note how this didn't even start til aymerics outfit came out
That's just a flat out lie. Mancats were bitching about not being able to crossdress at least since Thavnairian slut gear came out.
>>
>>376653651
no they dont. youre thinking of male midlanders. catgirls look like hot trash in plate, not that any of them wear armor since they all dress slutty
>>
>>376654527
in swtor bounty hunter was a ranged tank i believe

My sub ran out earlier today and I'm not going to bother resubbing. Absolutely no information of worth has been released and I have 0 faith SE is going to deliver on whatever hype they're building. I don't know why withholding information seemed like a good idea to them because that's usually indicative of something terrible. Suppose I'll have to wait and see how SB plays out and since I'm not an ebin 1337 raider I can handle missing a month or two of content.

I want to use the butler outfit
Yes i am a filthy /u/

>>376656578
If cats had armored tails like 1.0 they'd be top tier in plate

There's that best man set in Ul'dah that women can wear.

>Fujos like crossdressing men
????
it's the other way. That's /a/ fetish
>>
>>376657119
if it was the other way around and they liked handsome men i'd see a lot more elezen dudes around but i dont so im inclined to believe everyone else
>>
>>376657119
How new are you? Fujos love crossdressing men in their yaoi shit. /a/ likes traps. There's a difference.
>>

>I have never met a fujo in my life

>>376656836
Of the two I speak to in my FC daily, one is the most stereotypical mincing flamer from the Bay area you could imagine, and the other is a married straight guy with a bit too much interest in werewolves who I'm pretty sure is a crypto-furry.
