How would you like your jobs, balanced and homogenized or unbalanced and unique?

Why the fuck does SAM have its positionals gated behind a trait? I do it out of habit in earlier content and got rekt, but if I DON'T do it I'll also develop bad habits

Is MCH still locked behind the entire ARR and part of HW?

MCH is available as soon as you get into Ishgard. Like less than 10 minutes of quests if you skim the dialogue. But yes you have to finish or skip ARR first.

I actually have a character who just finished the original ARR, none of the patch stuff though which ive heard is a considerable amount as well

I kinda wanted to just start fresh with a different job and everything though I havent played in years id be bad in higher level content now but my main character has every class/job at like 30+ from back when I played

You don't have to tell me how much of a clueless drone you are, faggot.

>>382201958
Sorry, but yeah.

While RDM and SAM are available as soon as you beat Ultima Weapon, you need to complete the entire 2.0 story and get into Ishgard before you can play DRK, AST and MCH, all of which start at 30 too.
>>
>>382202097

Not that guy, but I kind of just inherited mine after a bunch of people left due to drama and IRL shit during HW. Hasn't changed how I play the game at all, I can just do anything I want with the fuckhuge house in Lavender Beds that is basically mine now. It's not too bad, just a little lonely when I remember how active it used to be.

>>382202141

There's a lot of stuff leading up to HW but most of it is filler that you can ESC through and not miss anything of import. Just go with your original character and do leveling dungeons and shit until you get the hang of it again. Or Palace of the Dead, which I will not explain since I have explained it way too fucking often. Just look it up and try it out if you want to remember the basics. It won't teach you how to play your job but no one will shit on you for getting used to controls again in there.

>>382202432

As a heal main, I wish people who only want to heal would fuck off and play a different game. No one's asking you to try and out-parse the DPS- they're just asking you to contribute to the team effort when there's no healing to be done. Tossing out some DPS spells doesn't require a lot of skill or thought, you're a fucking lazy shitter if all you do is top off and stand around.

Is mch still viable? Is the class half as fun as it is in pvp? The heat mechanic is clunky at first but really fun once you get the hang of it and the new animations are sick. I know their DPS got fucked and its a little harder to play since overheat at the wrong time is a dps loss.

At the same time, who the fuck cares. He's playing his role, you play yours. Unless you're failing a dps check, people can cry about spending an extra 15 seconds on a trash pack. I mean, I dps in the downtime because I'd be bored otherwise, but people who cry when healers don't dps are fucking stupid.
>>
>>382201764
There's a flank positional that also gives 5

My beef with it is that in sync content every once in a while I stop and think "why am I even doing this when I don't have kenki, it's risky and doesn't accomplish anything". But neglect it and you might start doing so in 62+ content as well. It's just an odd design that lures you into developing wrong habits

It's fragile on solo content, use the chocobo companion. It's a shitty tank but it will heal you okay. Save swiftcast to do a heal boost when you need it.

Rhythm is basically:

T1 - Jolt
T2 - White or black dualcast.
T3 - If nothing procced (you didn't use that guaranteed proc off T2 white/black and it was a loss on the 50%) you swiftcast back to T2 white/black to proc. If it still doesn't proc jolt again then dualcast T2.

Swiftcast does not activate dualcast but it does activate the T2 50% chance of proccing T3 White/black magic. So you just use a swiftcast to get a free T2 white/black in.

Keep WHM/BLM within 30 points of eachother or you get penalized with agonizingly slow time to balance it. At 80/80 or more you do your dash forward, Melee 1-2-3, dash back combo. Weave in OGCD blue sword single target and blue sword multi target damage ability. Weave in other OGCD abilities.

At 70 you have to make sure before you do your melee rotation that WHM or BLM is +1 or more above the other so you can do the big nuke.

Scatter is your cheap pseudo-AOE. Just spamming it allows you to possibly get enhanced scatter (more BLM/WHM per hit). Moulinet is like your melee 1-2-3 in that it will benefit from (and drain) 30/30 mana or higher in exchange for an enchanted moulinet that does twice as much damage as regular Moulinet and twice as much as scatter.

Manification at 60 for when you have 40/40 mana as it will double it to 80/80.

It's a rhythm game for RDM.

Grind POTD until 60. Don't listen to the other anon. RDM isn't weak at all. You've got burst, you've got the ability to run while you're free-casting and your moves are on cooldown. Your off global abilities do so much damage that it isn't even funny. You should be a king right now.

idiot, it wouldn't matter either way
everyone uses the damage buff sen to activate the 1sen dot
everyone uses the bottom two sen to activate the 2sen aoe, since those are the only two sens that can be activated with aoe
and obviously the 3sen uses all 3. understand now?
>>
>>382204304

They spam floors 51-60 over and over and over and over again and tell themselves it's fast because otherwise they'd probably want to kill themselves.

It's efficient up to level 60. Beyond that, you may as well do PvP and dungeons.

They want to get carried, can't join clear/farm groups because they're also new, and hope that somehow reading/watching a guide beforehand will make that happen.

Pull with grit,turn off grit when you think you've generated enough aggro, turn it back on if/when your healer turns out to be shit and you realize you actually need that protection.

A bit, and there's the fact that the 2.5 GCD is much more noticeable when you're under 80 ping and don't have much packet loss. As for myself, being unlucky enough to live on the East Coast, I've noticed the game has become slightly more sluggish in that I now have to spam keys to get them to go off sometimes during prime-time. And if I press them too fast with the timing I was used to before the move, it simply won't register combo steps. I have to consciously hold back a moment before attempting to execute shit.

The game's designed to function smoothly at and below 150 ping, officially. In practice it depends on the job your'e playing and how much packet loss you have.

If HW is any guide, they'll buff it's potencies out the butt and make their shields stronger as a temporary band-aid to hold over until 5.0, where they'll get a total re-work that makes them insanely fun and OP while AST gets its turn with the nerf bat and WHM stand in the corner and hopes no one notices it.

Come on, MNKs are extremely easy. As long as you don't drop you GL3, hit your positionals, and pop your OGCDs, you're going to get good DPS.

Especially now that you don't even have to weave in ToD/Fracture. We even get True North to make sure we get a smooth opener without losing positionals to rough pulls.

They reverted the change because they changed weakness to only reduce your main stat and they didn't want it reducing vit on tanks. The obvious solution was not to mess with damage calculations for tanks and instead make weakness a flat damage reduction, but instead they chose a more awkward solution that creates new problems/brings back old problems.

That's a very long time to have to put up with this clunky new kit. Buffing the potencies won't make it feel any better to play. SCH doesn't need help healing things, that's what the other two healers are supposed to be superior at. It just needs its mana sustain back and Adlo cost reduced, especially since Broil II spamming is the primary way to deal damage now.

Existing in this weird bubble with Dragoon where it never needs to compete for left side gear drops unless another NIN is in the party, everything works, and having our combos simplified was made up to us immediately by giving us flame pepe, baklava, and Tien Chiaotzu Jin to fuck around with.

And if you weren't doing that then you were creating dead weight to be carried by the rest of you group when spearheading newer content.

Meanwhile in reality, SCH still has the most tools and most powerful o-gcd heals of any healer, Eos' skills hasn't been touched, and Fey Union actually helps stack up SCH's healing against other healers in pure ST hps without wasting mana. SCH will continue to be ran as viable as long as AST/WHM needs a gcd to pull out their Medica II/Aspected.

They were inside of Shinryu. They're what was fueling his form (And probably what also influenced it to be a dragon)

Nidhogg's eyes are resilient as shit though, so unlike crystals which presumably shatter into dust, Nidhogg's eyes stayed "alive"
Once Shinryu was destroyed, the eyes fell back to the ground, hidden in the flowers of the royal garden out of sight, waiting to collect more ambient aether so they could eventually possess some other poor fuck.

But best boy wasn't having any of that nonsense and put an end to the Nidhogg train for good.

Nah, I'm just not a shitter. Fey Union is a free o-gcd dedicated HoT that has nearly triple the healing power in practice than Embrace. Slap it on the tank during lightning phases in Susano and watch them barely drop while you throw out broils. Both AST/WHM need to use gcds to do the same thing. You fuckwads think Indom has changed? Lustrate has changed? The class is still ludicrously powerful and one of most powerful in pure recovery. Throw a Fey Union on a tank and slow res a death, Emergency tactics succor with indom and a lustrate to save two others, Dissipate the fairy and excog the MT to prevent him from dying to autos after the tankbuster while the OT gets brought back up. Fey Covenant and Rouse+WD brings everyone up at zero gcd cost to your cohealer or yourself while you continue doing 1500+ minimum dps easy.

As someone who just came off of the back of Mythic raiding in Legion(10/10 way before ToS hit) anybody who calls a max raid of 8 people, with the posibility of infinite battle res is a fucking sperg.

And yes i did coil, it was a fucking joke as well, most of these instances of "raiding in xiv is hardcore" is mainly due to the fact that more often than not, people in your average raid are literal 40 year old normies and parents who play with a PS3 controller, but someone with any other raiding experience in any other MMO will literally erupt with laughter at the raiding skill ceiling in XIV.

Sorry, but don't bring your mentally challenge Legion raids where half the raid is following DBM and the other half is smashing head into their keyboards to do their 3 button rotations +procs/resource burners

Unlike WoW, MP is still an actual resource and no one can battle res so much when Brink of death puts you into one-shot range for most mechanics which needs even more babysitting from the healer. You may be correct about current tiers and Creator, but FFXIV's Midas/Gordias is so far beyond the difficulty of most WoW raids its not even funny. Not only that, FFXIV has had almost zero history of actual gear checks and it's almost entirely a performance check where one death pretty much throws the pull.

You guys are both playing really awful games so it's kind of funny. You either grind the same shit on WoW, or grind the same dungeon on FFXIV. Then you wait a couple months and grind the new content again for months until the next new 30 minute content release comes out.

Only difference is WoW is effectively f2p now if you have half a brain.

MMO players have something really wrong with their brains.

Yeah because WoW tiers are certainly not filled with loot pinatas x50 and then one halfway decent boss and then a difficult boss that gets nerfed in a few months because a legiitmate strat for WoW raiders is to "wait until Blizzard nerfs it."

Define 'viable'. The SB release primal EX fights aren't hard enough to rely on meta, so you'll get by. You can do all content.

But MCH is, strictly-speaking, bad. It has less utility and damage than BRD. In PVP it's one of the best classes (fucking people up with surprise wildfires never gets old), but in PVE it's pretty much worthless right now.

I have faith in SE to patch it up, and if you have the rotation down none of the content's impossible, it's just a shitty job right now.

Verses

The main difference is:

WoW keeps it's playbaser for longer than the first month

XIV's loses almost 30% when people finish the "Story"

Both companies fuck their playerbase over, but it seems XIV's devs literally cuck their playerbase the most.

Also why's there a singular target aggroing you in a dungeon pull? If you're spamming scatter it shouldn't be that bad. The worst enmity problem that could happen is an enemy responding to your fleche, which should fuck off back to the tank right away since that's the only damage spike it takes

So $60? Seems okay considering the Stormblood MSQ is probably around 30 hours in length, so more than most AAA games that would cost the same.

Not to mention it's an MMO so you'll get much more hours out of it just based on that. But it sounds like MMOs aren't for you.

Meanwhile all the other classes out rank it on everything. This isn't a "slight Nerf" this is make the class everyone knew and loved into a shit tier class. No class has ever been shafted this hard in the whole history of the game.

Well as of right now AST is the best healer in the game, but WHM is actually in an okay spot (even if lilies and confessions fucking suck). Can't go wrong with either, so just decide if you want to believe in the heart of the cards or have big, girthy heals.

yeah huh. DPS discrepancy has never been more than 10%. It doesn't matter for 99% of the community what job they play, as long as they're good at it. If you're 95th percentile on MNK and you can't be 95th on DRG, then you might as well stay MNK. At least you can play any role you want without praying that Blizzard doesn't hit your class with the nerf dart while blindfolded, at least you never have to level alt characters with their own individual Artifact grind just to keep up with the latest FoTM hotness.

Playing what you want well over playing the meta holds true for most roles in the game and class bitching in these threads is just bitching for the sake of bitching by people who don't even play the roles. People telling me SCH is bad when they throw out like 5 adlos at most per fight and the majority of their healing has barely been touched.

HW is bundled with Stormblood. HW is an extra 50+ hours of story shit going through 3.0 -> 3.56 so honestly if you're not hot on the story and don't think you'll enjoy playing I wouldn't bother, you might regret it and feel burned out before even reaching stormblood.

And yes expansion content (so the most active one) is gated of course. The only thing going for you is that Paladin is super strong in 4.0.

They're not absolutely horrible.

They are however clunky and mana hungry. In a long encounter you have to use 2-3 aetherflow per CD on energy drain alone to avoid running OOM. Means you barely get to use the rest of your kit because you're trying to stay afloat.

>>382210628

WoW was the birthplace for many a MMO streamer and the people who watch those people will continue to watch them even as WoW goes down the drain just so they can keep up with recent events. Streamers is just comfort food for people who want to watch other people sharing the same interests as them ,chances are most WoW viewers don't actually play WoW, because MMO gameplay is boring as shite either way and why would you just watch it if you have an active account.

FFXIV was born in an era where MMOs have lost its luster, most MMOs die out within years leading to lack of real interest by most notable streamers who need a long-term game to latch into. If they wanted to invest in FFXIV viewership, of which there is none because who wants to watch MMO gameplay, they'd rather scream and gesture wildly into the camera while WoW things happen into the background.

Completely wrong. I do 1800+ easily on SCH and I never oom. You shouldn't be spamming adlos, adlos were never spammed to begin with with their shitty mp/heal return rate. Even during 3.x, Adlos were not the primary source of healing. Physick is still nearly free and most importantly of all, your fairy is still free healing. Doesn't matter if she takes 5 seconds to cast her spells, precast it 5 seconds before a mechanic.

If you want to talk about sheer healing power efficiency, SCH is the strongest. If you took a 9 minute fight with 9 aetherflows or 27 charges, and took an two indoms/lustrate per aetherflow, they'd out-pace any healer in overall healing efficiency.

WoW is shitty and appealing to the masses through the new diablo like gear treadmill. No effort for good gear, all the content but mythic raids are extremely easy.

FFXIV treadmill is just as bad though, the grind is absolute torture and extremely tedious just to get gear that is useless through a 30 minute dungeon a month later. We're also getting the same shit schedule with SB apparently.

Here's someones opinion from soneone, who actually plays both games, WoW/FFXIV at a high level.

I like them both, and i sub to them both, 1 has better stuff than the other, i go to one for raiding and competitive raiding guild memes

and i go to the other for an actual story, WoW story is fucking awful, catgirls, and nice looking zones.

But i'll say this, why ohh fucking WHY does XIV not have an ingame dungeon/raid journal like WoW does?

That's literally all i want from XIV. I shouldnt need to be told to go watch a youtube video before i do a primal, i should be able to read what it does in the game it belongs in.

thats my only gripe, the burden of knowledge in XIV is insanely huge, and its very annoying sometimes, but i love both games

A few of them are perfect: RDM and SAM's are obviously good since the classes were designed ground-up with them in mind, and honestly they all feel fine except for PLD, which feels utterly pointless, and AST, which, as you said, actually removes functionality. (The gauge would be fine if you could still see the buffs in addtion to it though)

Explain how with Monk. The only thing I can seemingly accomplish is to wait on my shoulder tackle and sprint to be up, tackle in, burst at someone (while they're totally free to just heal themselves if they want because I don't have any CC), then attempt to sprint away because I don't have any actual escapes.

Elsewise I just play bodyguard for people attempting to do the same things to my healer? I fail to understand my role here.

Care to ellaborate? Is there some build in guide for raids in WoW?

In perfect world you shouldn't need to watch videos in FF ether, and instead go in and figure stuff with your party members, but no one wants to do that, too busy farming a mount that's not even that cool looking.

Can't argue with that, I've yet to lose to anyone that's not a group, the closest being that White Mages can fluid aura me and then sprint away.

Still, I've thus far played Bard and Monk in PVP, and Bard just shits all over Monk in terms of actual effectiveness in a fight, since I don't have to willingly commit suicide just to do a little damage to a group.

WoW has a dungeon journal now that shows every ability that a boss will do, and how you can avoid it, it details what a tank should focus on doing the fight, what healers need to look out for (heavy spikes of damage) and DPS is usually "interupt this" etc

it also shows a drop table for each boss individually

here's an example.

if this was XIV's case, it would say "the boss will swing his big weapon, and itll do lots of dmg"

basically giving you 0 info to go on

Pretty much just stand there and keep refreshing GL3 until the other team dives into your team. I'm pretty sure that's how it is for all the melees, you shouldn't be poking with them even if you have an escape ability cause you will get fucking melted in 3 seconds anyway, even if you try to dash away. Healers are also impossible to solo so never even bother trying to do that no matter what you're playing as.

In making the PvP simplified and each role specialized to such an extent, they made it so you can't do shit on your own and shouldn't try anything unless you have at least 2 or 3 other people with you.
