I don't think I've been referenced as a Red Mage yet in Stormblood. A lot of text I'll skip through though if it isn't voice acted or doesn't seem important to pay attention to, but even when Alisaie references learning RDM shit from cat Dante she doesn't point out that you're one too.

My only complaint is that RDM has a bit of a learning curve that I'm still not comfortable with but goddamn is it satisfying as shit to build up to 80/80 without fucking up white/black magic order or missing doublecasts then rushing in, unloading your combo and jumping back.

I'm just gonna guess that once I get the rotation down and can do it consistently, it'll end up like every other DPS job where it becomes mindnumbingly dull to just faceroll the same key combination with nothing else to do in content. At least tanking and healing has more to think about at any one time.

You forgot to mention how Tank aggro is absolutely FUCKED right now. Bosses are fine, but trash is harder than the actual bosses in terms of keeping aggro and getting shredded if you mass pull.

The fact that Zenos puts the WoL in his place is pretty significant, but whatever let's kill him off in one patch.

I can't respect Garleans because they're fucking retards who get killed by their superior officers every other week.

Yeah I understand the general process:
jolt -> whichever is lower of aero/thunder -> fire/earth if they proc else jolt -> whichever is lower of aero/thunder -> etc

Then:
once over 80/80 jump in do your 3 hit combo, jump out, and flare if white is higher or holy if black is higher, go back to the beginning

It's just keeping track of all that without getting tunnelvisioned on looking at your bar and your procs and not paying attention to mechanics, aoes, and whatever else is happening in content.

I don't mind that they made aggro a bit more imporant to pay attention to. But for the love of god, why is the aggro meters so shit? It will only tell you that you are about to lose aggro 2sec before you do, why is tabbing to different targets so sporadic and bad?

I got that flak from a negative person I know in game too, who wasn't hype about Stormblood because 3.56 didn't end on a major hook/cliffhanger or something story driving even though cards were set up, and what we got was glorious.

No, it depends on what Tank we are on about so I can't discuss lol WAR but DRK had the potency on Unmend lowered and Total Eclipse for Paladin doesn't generate emnity, so you will be spamming Flash or Unleash more than Abyssal/TE.

Not just that but Tanks scale of STR now and we don't have a lot of STR in the left side and we can't even equip STR accs now, so we're pretty fucked, don't even think about dropping Tank stance or you'll get stomped.

Now that the dust has settled, can we agree that those job gauges were awful?

On some jobs, those gauges were unnecessary, effectively making the gameplay worse (SMN, MNK, DRK and MCH for example)

On another jobs, they were half assed just because "every job needs a gauge and we don't care about this particular job", such as SCH, WHM, DRK and NIN.

Honestly the only jobs that had good gauges was BRD, SAM and RDM. The rest are either unnecessary or a hindrance.

And of course, we still can't hide them and display their buffs on the regular parameter bar and floating combat text. It feels awkward as fuck to not see my buffs scrolling down, and having to look at a gauge to see if I received the desired effect.

It is a little bit their fault.
None of this happened with HW because they introduced one class for each role, so there was plenty of tanks and healers running shit as they leveled up the new tank and healing job.

Adding in two DPS jobs in a game already bloated with DPS jobs compared to the other two roles was a mistake.
A third job as a tank or healer would have been grand.

Oh yeah, but that's always been a big ass problem playing DRG, out of everyone you have to learn the cadence of the fight the most because everything you do requires timing or you waste your shit and aren't putting out good numbers for like two minutes.

Makes it super hard to maximize output on the first time running content.

They should have made it work closer to lancet where your stacks stay until you jump, only with Nostrond, but then playing DRG would be even more boring than they already have made it.

Almost feels like playing DRG at lvl 50 again.

I don't see how, she is pretty much the "kind, good goddess above all others" trope to a T. Every interaction with her comes down to her telling you that you're the hope for the land and can stop the darkness from taking over, and if you listen to all her songs it reveals different aspects of her character. Answers reveals that she knows of the plight of the people in the world and their suffering, but she cannot help them, because life has suffering, and they must learn to deal with it. Dragonsong goes into length about her not understanding why the Ishgardians and the dragons keep fighting and killing each other and why people betray each other so much and throw their lives away for faith or some pointless goals. And Revolutions seems to be clearly her going "Okay, go to war, fight for your home and freedom, but keep in mind that the other side is doing the same, and war always comes with a steep price"

To be fair, when it came to primals, Nidhogg, and Ultima you had Hydaleyn's macguffin powers/dragon eyes helping you.

I don't think FF is a universe where the light winning is turned into a bad thing.

Hydaelyn just hasn't shown any traits of being some genocidal monster who wants to swallow the world. She wants to stop Zodiark and the Ascians from fucking everything up, as well as stopping the Primals from ruining the world. She employs the WoL as her avatar to protect the land and it's people, while also being really sad that everyone is just killing each other over pointless things.

No, but it's better in almost any way (expect the clunky combat maybe).
Class balance is good, classes are fun, and the game doesn't feel outdated as fuck. it's very refreshing, or at least that's the impression that XIV gave to me the first time I played. I switched from WoW to XIV in an instant, even played Legion at launch for 1 month to escape back on XIV. Sure it has flaws but not as many as fucking WoW. Give it a try.
The most fun healing class is probably the Astrologian, but you wont get it until Heavensward (level 50). I like Scholar personally.

This is exactly what it is. I'm shocked that more people don't realize this. The whole reason things are able to exist at all is that the two are held in balance. If you have too much darkness, your world gets swallowed up in Darkness and becomes the Void. Too much light, your world gets swallowed up by Light and becomes whatever the opposite of the Void is (they haven't revealed that yet I don't think)

What does this have to do with it being absolute shit?

There is literally no resources online for PvP, nothing say why I should play a PLD over a DRK, or how to specifically get the most out of DRK in a mass war situation (like a big Shatter crystal), or how an alliance should tackle those big skirmishes, hence people just wandering around not understanding how to play in DF and why it's such a cancerous experience.

Also, there is none, NO incentive to do well in PvP, you might level up and get a few more Wolf Marks..but so what? Is there a BiS PvP culture I'm missing where a BiS PvP WAR will solo small Shatter Crystals or something? You don't even get more Verity Tomes for winning then you do for losing, hence I didn't throw any games I got while farming Tomes but I sure as shit didn't care if I lost.

Also, again, it's fundamentally unfun and unbalanced, 2.5 GCD and some classes being outright better than others, and strategy simply not existing on DF at least.

undisputed AoE king for dps

Single-target is still extremely good, however, your dps output relies heavily on you knowing the fight, since you have to adjust your rotation to fit the movement you have to do during the fight. If you're able to just sit in your comfy leylines and blow shit up all fight, they're top 3 dps in the game easily.

But Zodiark cannot exist if there is to be balance, since he desires power and works with the Ascians to fuck up the world, where as Hydaelyn simply wishes to push the darkness back.

I personally think the end scenario is destroying Zodiark by bringing him and Hydaelyn together as one, so the power of darkness and light are a single entity and can remain in balance forever. Hydaelyn, after all, calls herself "The all made one", so for her to be the whole of balance would fit.

Exactly. She wants to snuff out the darkness, just as much as Zodiark wants to snuff out the light. They're diametrically opposed to each other. The only way to keep them BOTH in check is to have them at equal or near-equal strength. That's what the WoL and Ascians are there for.

It works out in the end, I tend to be Shield Oath on trash and Sword Oath on bosses and progress with little issue through dungeons, just have to sometimes use a Rage of Halone combo instead of a Royal Authority to keep up with better DPS players. Though picking up adds on bosses has been spotty.

Because unlike Zodiark, she isn't infusing a whole group of evil assholes with power and sending them out to teach groups how to summon world ending gods and resurrecting horrifying super weapons, she is sending her single avatar to STOP all that evil shit. She has not once shown interest in obtaining more power, Zodiark was the same once, but then he wanted more power, and then he got kicked out of the pantheon for that. It's like saying "If you take the gun from the criminal and give it to the cop, the cop will have two guns and try to kill everyone!"

Gaius actually held pretty high respect for non-Garlean citizens and was one of the few Legatii to allow them to actually go up as high as his Roegadyn buddy did. Zenos allows Fordola because he's a fucking psychopath and doesn't really give a shit who does what he says.

Gaius resorted to drastic measures to try and deal with Eorzea due to the Agrias getting fucked by Midgarsormr, but overall he was probably their most effective, level headed legatus. No need for extreme brute force when you can just make the country collapse on itself and then roll in to pick up the pieces.

Still, Garlean society as a whole seems utterly fucked, so one smart guy doesn't really redeem it.

>>381288141
Gaius also wanted to conquer Eorzea, not destroy it, so he was against the Meteor Project, and offered Eorzeans full Garlean citizenship if they surrendered rather than fought.

As for Garlean society as a whole, we haven't really seen them at all, just out lying bits and colonies. I feel the majority of Garlean society lives in peace and comfort thanks to their tech advancements and the fact that they are a massive unified empire rather than scattered city-states and kingdoms.

This. I bet living in Garlemand proper must be comfy as fuck, assuming you're a pure born Garlean.

I might be in the minority, but I actually see the logic in what they're trying to do. They were subjugated by the other races because they couldn't use magic, but because they were smarter and more technologically advanced, they were able to claw their way to the top of the food chain. Plus they want to get rid of primals. What's not to like? Other than a few psychotic leaders, they seem pretty cool.

Well, Garlemald is so focused on conquering and expanding the empire it's hard not to consider these pieces we've seen as a part of it. Natural-born Garlean citizens are undeniably fucking horrible to those that aren't, or at least the military are, and given the extremely militant expansive nature of the empire, you've got to assume the military is probably pretty representative of their society as a whole.

Back in Ilsabard though, it's cold but yeah they're probably pretty well off, aside from the probable giant ever-present smog clouds.

>90k/dc are rampant
>4 hour long maintenance in 5 hours for all worlds
Yeah. They didn't learn their lesson from 2.0 launch. Or more accurately, they're just saving money by not adding a couple more routing servers. Since they know in a couple weeks, 3/4 the people who resubbed will rush through all the content and quit the game. And the game will go back to having the 300,000 or so players it had before Stormblood hit.

>DPS queues are ridiculous
Really retarded that they added two more DPS characters in Stormblood. Now we have three tanks, three healers and nine DPS. They basically have no choice but making only tanks and healers for the next two expansions. If we even get two more.

>jobs majorly fucked every which way by the revamp
>However, going forward with Stormblood or any other update, he also understands that when changes are made that players don’t like, “it’s only natural” for them to be angry. In fact, he says, “You should get mad.”
WHM and BRD got improved. DRG rotation is easier now. Don't know about DRK since I just started one.

Might I add, endless instanced cutscenes is a really bad design decision.

I imagine being a pure blood Garlean is like being a noble, being mixed blood you probably live very comfortably, and everyone else lives decent lives, especially if they live in the core of the empire. I dunno how much the Empire weighs race and genetics though, it might just be that pure blood Garleans don't get special treatment, and it's just a thing of pride in your bloodline. The farthest weve seen in terms of discrimination is Garlean Roes being surprised that they are put in positions of power and responsibility, but that just might be based on stereotypes, which Eorzeans do as well.

In a proper game resistances would come into play and you could be motivated to use one over the other.

Because we know that killing off beastmen makes the primals stronger the Garlean's techniques are problemsome. If not for that bit of knowledge I would be first in line to genocide the beast races who are raising belligerent primals. Something like the forest one of the sylphs or the turtle one is a different kettle of fish to the Amalj'aa who are basically beastmen jihadists.

Holy spirit is all your damage now so only use it with requiescat when you have full mana. This is why you spam the new royal authrotiy combo, and on bosses it's not like you ever lose aggro so using the old rage of halone combo is entirely useless.

I say do the FoF right before goring just for the extra damage and it last 30 secs which is more than enough to go through all your holy spirits and finisht hat up. Also since req and FoF both have 60 sec cooldowns they will always be up together.

Also if you are main tank make sure to use shelltron whenever its up while in holy spirit combo since 2 shell trons gives you one more holy spirit.

No reason to use it if you OT though

Also if you didn't see Req gives 20% more dmg to holy spirit, it already is your highest damaging move without that, but with it it doubles down on the fucking.

DRK is pretty aids up until you hit 68, mostly because you cannot spend the bloodgauge in any meaningful way until you get bloodspiller. Blackest night is fucking amazing though

Pretty soon, what server are you on?

pretty sure you HAVE to subscribe with steam, but you can just use timecards with SE

Yea man, I was on the boat of being nervous as fuck about WHM like everyone else, but it still plays really well.

no more cleric stance? Attacks based on Mind. FUcking thank you.

what's the point in even playing if all the excitement of doing content when it has some challenge is gone by then?
>>
>>381289810
You can only buy expansions from steam, meaning if they ever go on sale elsewhere you're forced to wait for steams which rarely does.
I remember HW, 1week before release it went on sale for 20dollars cheaper than steams, steam didn't go on sale until 2years after release.

So why does SAM have the highest potency ability in the game?

>>381288058
I enjoy BLM but SMN has always been my favorite.
>>
>>381289624

Yeah, but I'm saying is, are you not wasting FoF by only applying Goring with it and then moving on to HS asap?

What if they added Necormancer and made it a tank?
>>
>>381290074
Yes he is.

>>381289984
to make up for them not having any utility.
>>
>>381289129
Why would they? It's making PvP actually worth playing now.

>>381289867
Yea the tooltip for Blackest Night made it seem like it would be OP as fuck. Happy for them

>>381289285
They got rid of secondary requirements for jobs, so it wouldn't matter if your pug was 1 or 14, it wouldn't change.

FoF gives a damage bonus to everything. It adds damage to Holy spirit so how is it wasting it? You could techincally do req holy spirit combo and then FoF on the off time but again your regular attacks don't do anywhere close to as much damage. I'll test it soon though to be sure when the parser is fixed but I'm fairly sure this is the best damage.

Same, I wonder if that Issi or whoever will try and get cozy with her later on. It was obvious he started liking her.

>>381289294
Aspected Benefic costs more, Lucid Dreaming last a few seconds less than Luminous Aether used to, Synastry doesn't have a healing buff to it anymore, and you may need to be healing more overall in Stormblood at the moment, so that all adds up, and your only other mana tool is popping Ewers.
>>
>>381289920
I was one of those guys who liked stance-dancing, but I have to say not having to worry about that shit really makes it more fluid to play
>>
>>381290115
I was going to say, if you were on levi and get tired of queues, I could tank for you.
>>
>>381290241
FoF is just physical damage.
>>
>>381290025
Pretty fucking amazing honestly, it gets better at 68 when Empyreal Arrow starts giving a guaranteed proc for your songs.

Songs feel great, animations are great, damage feels good. The only bad thing is in dungeons and you don't have mage ballad up on a big trash pack, AOE can feel lacking. Otherwise it's rain of death procs for days.

Damage isn't quite as high as when based on INT and cleric stance, but healers become more adaptable since they aren't dependent on Cleric Stance to function.

That said, they killed off half of the damage skills on all the healers.
>>
>>381289984
Their "Utility" is pulling out so much DPS it compensates for the lack of utility.

FoF is best used on Goring and HS only.

Ideal rotation is as follows:

FB > RB > FoF > GB > Requiscat > HS > SW > HS > SoC > HS > SS > HS until Requiescat and FoF falls off.

Then keep Goring up and spam RA until you can repeat.

good to know. I'll probably jump into BRD once I get my BLM leveled up
>>
>>381290323
Oh I'm a retard carry on, then yeah do the second theory. FoF once the holy spirit spam is over.

Guess I never paid attention since it never mattered before since we didn't have spell dmg.
>>
>>381281505

I don't even understand some of the changes they made. A big one for me was the removal of Sustain. Fucking seriously? Why??? Great, now SMNs can't keep their egi's up in solo content/FATEs because their physicks heal like a wet noodle, meanwhile mobs do like 3x as much damage as the heal.
>>
>>381289417
Did it early this morning with everyone new but one tank. Roe DRK that was nice and explained everything. We only wipe once and clear. Also why are male roes so nice?
>>
>>381290148
Necromancy in ffxiv seems to be a very drawn out, complicated thing
Don't see it as something you could exactly use in the heat of combat

>>381290203

>>381289750
SMN and SCH can look great with the right gear.
NIN maybe isn't the best fit but they look good and it's hilarious to think a 2.3 meters tall mountain of muscle could be a stealthy ninja.

What the fuck would they even nerf with AST? Not balance because it was not valued before. None of their new abilities are OP, mp management is bad, and their personal dps is very low.

What's so hard to understand about avoid AOEs?

new thread?

they should make blue mage a tank so a 4-man can roll BLU/WHM/BLK/RDM
>>
>>381290196
It basically gives a free Bloodspiller on any tankbuster, or any targeted high-damage attack on an ally. Shit's great
>>
>>381290404
Are we just pretending FoF works with Holy Spirit when it clearly says physical only?
>>
>>381290335
>That said, they killed off half of the damage skills on all the healers.

And people are wondering why healers are rerolling
>>
>>381290616

Nothing anon. The playerbase are just retarded to an incredible degree.

The only reason Shinryu is annoying is because most players suck absolute dick.

don't know about other healers, but WHM has great DPS. We can holy spam for days, and our Stone has the highest potency of the healers

Garlemald is to the Eorzean city-states what they are to the beastmen. They just cry foul about the Garleans because they can't understand the hypocrisy.
>>
>>381290730
so another steps of faith?

>>381290841
Shinryu just has a bunch of instant death or near death attacks that you might not have even seen before because he uses them randomly
>>
>>381290602
Nerf their shields and nerf balance.

Or bring SCH up with the other two healers, which I would prefer. WHM is on par healing wise it's just that AST brings so much utility on top of it.
>>
>>381290665
No they dropped one dot from WHM and AST. Its SCH that got gutted.
>>
>>381288627
Hint hint: brd dots are 30s as well. If you can refresh your dots, you can keep your songs up.
