>>378584116
But DRK generated the most of their gauge out of any tank while they have blood weapon up. Their tank stance activation also doesnt cut your current gauge by 50% when applied, in fact it doesnt cost anything but MP.

an 800 potency heal is still a lot more costly than most people think. This isnt going to be used nearly as much as DRK's other DPS moves as you mentioned.

Go look at the ability video.
The DRK gets 3 every other second or so.
This means you would have a 1000 potency heal on a <20 second cooldown.

if you want to spend your blood gauge in a heal everytime sure, but I'm sure the new skills play with the gauge, in fact one of them needed like half the bar to be used, and it seemed like a high potency attack

Agree or Disagree /v/?

If DPS can do a maximum of 1,000 damage
Healers can do a maximum of 200 damage
Tank can do a maximum of 300 damage

If disagree, what would it be?

>>378584442
It's still ridiculously fast compared to the other tanks under blood weapon. As far as we know, the other tanks dont have a skill that increases gauge development, only halves it. Dark release is going to see a lot of use because you're not going to want to overflow on Blackblood, and you wont be able to use Vertical Slash once its on CD.

No, they dont and never have. The only type of people that say this are the PLD's that think them spending 100% of the fight in shield oath is a DPS increase for the raid as it lets the healers DPS more.

Why would you purposefully want to lower the skill ceiling, and thus the depth (and in xiv you need to scrounge up what little depth you can get) of a class? How does anyone win in that situation?

Make it special in that the only skills you get from leveling are sabre slashes. Every two-three levels you get new quest to go get slapped by a specific monster to get a new skill.

you can get a ton of BLU skills by fighting monsters, completing dungeons and killing bosses, however, you can only equip a total of 10 or whatever

and you could use healing skills, threat skills, dps skills, support skills, you can change skills when not in combat

Knights can use white magic in FF.
>>
>>378586587

XIV just doesn't have the depth for BLU

It worked in XI because encounters/party composition wasn't always strictly about how much DPS you can squeeze out of it, so there was usually some niche situation for anumber of its abilities. Would never work in XIV
>>
>>378586861
Not gonna happen

Getting actions from monsters is going to be from the job quests, other than that they would add famous actions from past enemies/bosses already learned.

thats all

>>
>>378587146
>what is Knight in every past FF game
They've always used white magic. Calling them Paladin was only justified in FFIV and FFXI. FFXIV only calls them Paladin because XI did, but the problem there is that in XI they were actually knights of the San d'Orian church.
>>
>>378587185
Okay, how does that change anything? People still pick the combination of abilities that results in the most damage.

I'm betting most of the people here who complain that the game has no choice or build variety, are the same ones who bitch constantly about "optimal comps" and <5% performance differences between jobs.

>Knights are characterized by equipping swords, daggers, knight swords, shields, and heavy armor, and having high physical stats. Knights normally appear clad in heavy armor and battle circlets. A Knight can use Cover to protect his team, as well as low-rank White Magic.

Knight was in Final Fantasy 1, not Paladin.
Paladin in XI was Knight in the Japanese client.

3.4 just went too far, 3.3 already fixed most of its issues. But since AST was still a significant minority in Savage Midas raids all throughout 3.2 and 3.3 they figured "hey lets just make shit retarded because we are retarded".

AST is still better than WHM even if Balance remained 10%/5%.

- Abilities gained from monsters
- Only basic utility/melee attack abilities earned through quests
- Ability log would show which abilities you are missing and give a hint on where to get them
- Job quests would require you to use specific monster abilities so people don't just ignore getting them
- Signature "Observe" skill that you put on an enemy or party member that temporarily allows the use of a new action which varies based on the first skill the target uses while Observe is on them. e.g. if you put it on a healer and they use a healing spell, it becomes a healing action.

Well, I don't agree that they are good reasons. The fact that PLD in XI were the Knights of a Kingdom only lend weight to calling them Knights, imo. The original Sword/Shield/White Magic wielding job was Knight, as established by the first game.

Exceptions made by other games were for a reason and they were denoted as such, like Cecil who was not referred to as a Knight in the Japanese version of IV.

>>378591980
People are just speculating because pretty much fucking nothing is known about SCH.

One of the expected changes is an overall nerf to healer DPS but that affects all 3 healers, not just SCH. The bitch tears from SCH fags already is the same reaction they had to Lustrate change to be potency based instead of % and reduced fairy potency (which ended up doing fucking nothing at lv60 with some gear).
>>
>>378592124
you should just give your name or ask for names for the invites
alternatively just wait at the aftcastle for people
>>
>>378592060
compared to other classes it's a bit repetitive. You just do the same thing over and over whereas other classes have to change their rotations more as they go to fit in buffs and debuffs with their various combo chains.

With BLM you only really have procs to mix things up a bit but it's not really very exciting
>>
>>378591980
>>378591970
Supposed changes are:
- No more shadowflare
- Fairies now operate automatically, no more manual abilities
- Eos has a weak passive regen aura, Selene has a weak passive haste aura
- Fairy tether converts their aura into decent focus healing over time on 1 party member, but drains the fairy meter
- If fairy meter runs out, fairy suicides.

No, just decent for an MMO. The only good part when the story gets good is when it involved the Dragonsong War arc.
>Lore
Yes, actually. The lore is one of the interesting parts of the game. The world, nations and jobs are all well thought-out. Can't say that about the races though.
>Quests
Fuuuuuuuuuuck no. Enjoy about 400 fetch quests just to reach the first expansion. Thank god it stops there.

>>378591745
The whole game is built around the story, from the forefront to everything in between. Even all of the job quests have interesting arcs to them. If you've ever heard the expression that FFXIV is like a single-player FF just with multiplayer components for dungeons, raids, and playing the market, it's pretty spot on.

It goes so far that the entire ending to 1.0 where the world was nuked due to Bahamut became a vital plot point of the 2.0 story and beyond.

That was only possible in creator because NIN had a perfect gearset that allowed it to have nearly 350 weighted STR over the other melee. The only gearset that came close to it was Relic + Proto Ultima MNK and by that point anyone good playing MNK had already quit playing the game for parses.

15 archer is just to unlock your Job.

I'm talking about cross-class abilities. Every class can "borrow" up to 5 skills from two other classes. Not every single ability is available but usually it's stuff like stat buff skills. For example if you get Archer up to level 4 right now you can get the skill "Raging Strikes" on your thaumaturge which will give you a whopping 20% damage increase for 20 seconds on a 3 minute cooldown. 20% damage bonus is a lot

They're losing a bunch of useful skills which will require all their cross-role slots to get back, and the new abilities replacing them look extremely weak. They're determined to make WHM a "pure" healer with as little extra utility as possible, in a game where extra utility is the single defining measure of a class's usefulness.

I still don't know how they will implement NMs with 72h spawn time if Eureka is really instanced. It would make no sense if it worked like that.

No job has a harder time getting into raids than others. No one will ever kick you or not allow you to join a party because of your job.

Get into raiding by opening the Party Finder and either joining training groups for whatever raid or trial you want to try or making your own group. You never need a static raid group to clear the hardcore raids as long as you have some patience, nor do you need to grind for gear beyond the minimum ilevel. I say this as someone who has cleared every raid when it was relevant solely via PF, as a job that was at times one of the worst in the game (SMN during final coil)

Probably. Remember GS challenge log every week, it shits out MGP. And dont forget to buy Dressage III book for your birds for faster leveling.
dont bother with color/hereditary skill before p7 or so though

Is that really worth it? I'm leveling P8 birbs at the moment and i'd likely get more xp by virtue of placing higher through the use of actual skills rather than a flat +30% xp boost

I hope the DRK 60-70 questline is good like the 30-50

I'm going to give you some reasons why it is not.

>There is no dedicated support archetype in XIV nor is the game designed to have a dedicated support archetype.

>Geomancer is literally: use two spells and go afk for 5 minutes. If XIV players aren't spamming 1 2 3 every 2.5 seconds, they have enough time to realize they're playing a shit game and quit.

>XIV's battle system is so dumbed down, they wouldn't be able to even come up with more than two GEO/Indi spells for Geomancer to even use. The two I can think of are "More damage" and "Take more damage" which is already pushing the limitations of their post-WoW MMO design.

>Bosses in XIV move around too much for a similar reason to players having to spam 1 2 3, if players aren't constantly moving out of red stuff, bosses would actually have to be designed to be challenging and require strategies to beat. Geomancer requires the mob to mostly stay still to be effective.

It was a nice idea, but XIV and WoW-clones are just too dumbed down for support classes/jobs.

Considering how many birds you have to level yes it's worth it. The Dressage 3 book is cheap anyway compared to all the MGP you'll make just from levelling the chocobo.
>>
>>378594967
The 50% bonus affects it as well so better go do it.
>>
>>378595084
the 50-60 quest was pretty shitty so i dont have my hopes up. maybe they just got lucky with 30-50 DRK, broken clock is right twice a day

Codes.

>>378595148
You know not everything has to be 1-1 with XI right? Geomancer has a ton of spells in previous games like Tactics and could easily be adapted to 'close enough' status.

Im getting around 2.7k xp per race at Dressage III, even if I land in the middle of the flock. It is worth it, especially since it costs like 2.6k MGP

>if players aren't constantly moving out of red stuff, bosses would actually have to be designed to be challenging and require strategies to beat.
I'm guessing your idea of "challenging strategies" is something like "use fire attacks on the boss that's weak to fire".

I haven't actually played those yet, PLD is the one tank I haven't leveled beyond 30 because I was burnt out on fucking brayfucks shitstop.

What happens in 50-60 PLD?
>>
Will this game fare better with horizontal progression and better itemization?
Not sure how the element wheel would come into play due to BLM and WHM having limited elements to use but maybe enemies will only get weaknesses and no resistances. Bringing back elemet relevancy will never happen anyway.

>>378595446
Unfortunately this went down when I was watching the YOU DEFEATED scene so I didn't have the chance to use my authority as tank to tell them to simmer down.

This is not a single player game where bosses are puzzles that need to be figured out. You run them again and again. All having shit like elemental weaknesses does in a situation like that is mandate certain group compositions. Why? What purpose does it serve? It doesn't make the fight any more challenging and if you decide that people should be able to do it even if they don't stack against the boss's weakness, then you're just making it a total pushover for the groups that do.

"Horizontal progression" is a fucking meme regurgitated by people with zero knowledge of game design. It is functionally impossible in a game based on scripted PvE boss encounters.

>B-but XI
Even in XI, people just bandwagon the meta for any particular fight. Having lots and lots of stats and making different fights favour different skills or stats or elements doesn't actually add any real tangible difference in gameplay, it just makes people calculate the "optimal" approach for everything on a per-encounter basis and increase the amount of items you have to farm to stay up-to-date and competitive.

Find a "static"
Check the partyfinder
Some neat acronyms to know:
SC - softcore. also referred to as casual
MC - Midcore
HC - Hardcore

Also you have 4 weeks to hit 70 and gear up
good luck
