I think everyone agrees Lyse is pretty retarded, though it'd probably be weirder if she wasn't this dumb at the start. And her smarting up instantly would also be unbelievable. Maybe she's supposed to be this annoyingly dense. I'm starting to see her development later in the MSQ though and I think it makes pretty good sense.

I don't understand why old PvP players are mad about the new PvP system. The streamlining has boosted the PvP part of the game by 10x. Both Frontline and Feast matches are insanely quick to find now, and lots of people are actually having more fun with the game now that you have less skills and more tactics to focus on. I like the fact that I have less skills because it allows me and my team to plan out our next moves better.

Then there's also the fact that everything is standardized now so gear doesn't matter and levels don't matter at all which is a very nice change, yet I see here and there a couple of old PvP players crying about this. I just don't understand why.

What do I do? I can't take this. I was so excited but after telling myself tanking would get better at 70 over and over and finally reaching 70 and being massively dissapointed. I parsed a bit in susanoo and was happy when top DPS was a sam pulling 3k then I looked at parses and other people vids. Playing a non DPS is suffering unless you have a good fc or friends.

What FFXIV is lacking is good PvP, really.
But for that the game will need a slighty faster combat, but it should be fun doing castle sieges between FCs or World vs World events.

The pve is really fun but the thing that made me play during old school wow was the pvp. Pve content always gets a cap, playing against people is always different.

Papalymo had the patience of a saint to have spent the last 6 years sheltering Lyse and keeping her so naive.
Way I see it is she spent the last few years pretending to be someone else, combined with Papalymo keeping her in line, so now that she's free to be herself she's gone overboard with being completely brash and unrestrained where as before she'd be admonished and told to cut that shit out by the lala.

MoP was defintely a pleasant surprise and was one of my favorite WoW expansions. Ironically if we then compare WoW and FF's previous dragon themed expansion, I absolutely hated Cataclysm (giving the death dragon a fucking manicure? That's your fucking climax?) whilst I loved how the Dragonsong War was told.
>>
i'm enjoying FF more at the moment, but SB has pushed the game into the worst place it's been since legacy imo. It's making all the same exact mistakes WoW has - and was designed from the ground up with a bunch of them.

I'm not expecting the good old days of MMOs that actually feature social aspects and genuine mmo gameplay to return, but WoW is still closer than FF is to that - FF is the most casual mmo i've ever played, and the most singleplayer

MOP was a legitimately fantastic expansion and i pretty much immediately write off the opinion of anyone saying otherwise because 'lul pandas'

All of it's raids were great, especially ToT which was Ulduar tier, ok SoO went on for too long but so did ICC and everyone goes on about how great LK raids were

It has varied zones, a good levelling experience, brought back populated zones without flying and content like IoT and Timeless Isle, had World Bosses in Sha of Anger, Oondasta and the other giant artillery rhino thing. Class balance was pretty good, Monk was amazing and the story was pretty fantastic too

The main issue was the lack of dungeons, especially whilst levelling

>>382462536
The content being easy is not the key factor but the people that I have to run the content with. Which community is more retarded? Which community has a larger percentage of above average players that participate in the endgame? Which community has a thriving population of active endgame players?


I don't want to be a victim of the grass is greener on the other side shit but progressing in ff14 is dumb. I spent my only day off wiping on susano from 1pm to 12am the next day and getting one clear.

Yeah sure you can do these when better and did the fight a few dozen times but just playing and progressing as mnk you lose TONS of damage with a few missed positional let alone dropping GL. Its like BLM but less forgiving. I wanted to give them another shot since they extended GL timer once more but im not sure.

Susanoo Ex is the hardest because it's the only real fight that can wipe you due mechanics pretty frequently unlike Lakshmi which you can't really fuck up unless you are braindead and even if you almost wipe you still have a chance to kill her before hitting enrage.

4.5k parses are people with potions, food, lucky crits, lucky direct hits and most importantly lots of buff stacking on them. Basically the group is doing everything to see how high their dps can get, it's far from being a normal situation.

If you are able to get 3.8k on susano on a normal PF run aka no potions no food no nothing and with the rest of the group doing shit PF dps then you are playing amazingly well. Don't be intimidated by fflogs autism because it's a terrible way of measure how good you actually are.

I get it's cool to hate on SAM and all but try to be as impartial as you can. Dragoon's aoe is literally 2 buttons doom spike > sonic something repeat while you use off gcd skills once in a while.

SAM main aoe has 2 combos (granted it's basically just 1 with a different skin) and a way to spend combo points plus it has a different resource to be spent as well.

NIN's aoe rotation is even worse than dragoon's, there are situations where it literally boils down to spam 1 skill.

I've been leveling AST as a alt job in last few days and realized that healer is probably the most roll od the die role for what you will be doing in a dungeon.

Sometimes you get a tank that knows how to play and you can just put regen on him, put dots on enemies and focus on dps for a while.
Other times you get a tank that doesn't know what aggro is, or what aoes are and you have to spam heals to everyone just to keep them alive.

I'd say NIN MNK and SAM are all tied bottom for easiest melee dps. Then DRG is slightly, if at all, a little bit ahead in difficulty.

I love them all except for The Peaks, visually speaking. And they're great in terms of context too. It really felt like you got to know each area's unique culture, as opposed to HW where you were just passing through barely getting to know the locals and their relation to their surroundings, especially apparent in Othard. I remember how Tailfeather was introduced as a hunting village, but you get just a handful of unceremonious quests showing this while the rest is in even less impressive sidequests. Meanwhile The Ruby Sea's entire questline involves getting to know the pirates and the Kojin, and helping them out with their conflict with the Garleans.

But man it just seems like it will be so much stuff to keep track of at level caps with tank busters (shit I can hardly remember all of these playing the tank) and status effects and actual fight mechanics and more card stuff and seven retard fucks to keep alive and coordinating two healers. Fuck if I've ever needed to get anything from the party list besides how many people are dead and number of stacks on the other tank, and given how minimalist it is it doesn't feel particularly well suited for much more.

In a single player FF if someone gets status downed they might have a slumping animation, an icon over their head, and a different health bar, in this game some tiny fuck red icon appears off to the side hiding among 4 other status effects and that's about it.

SAM has literally 0 utility, he's not going to be the MNK of HW, SAM will literaly never be nerfed, it's Yoshida's job
>>
>>382470142
If you are gonna tone down samurai then you must buff dragoon's damage. Shit is ridiculously low on the excuse that it has utility which is the exact opposite of SAM right now.
>>
>>382470142
the thing about toning down SAM would be it would make it useless. SAM's main thing right now is ridiculously high dmg, but at the cost of no utility for the group. If you toned it down so its equal to MNK/NIN/DRG and such, then no one would ever want to take a SAM because the other ones have some benefit to other group members.

>>382470142

It might just be that I'm a tad biased, but I play WAR and my friend plays SCH so we both kinda know how it feels this expansion to get the shaft, though I'll say that it sounds worse for him than me. It's not that WAR is terrible or anything, there was just a lot of questionable changes and additions to it that don't mesh well at all. Stance dancing penalty, loss of bloodbath, onslaught and shake it off being fairly useless, unchained being useless as it shares a cooldown with inner release, it just all adds up to frustration. SCH sounds even worse now doing much less damage, much less healing, and less mana regen and some bad abilities.

This. In HW it was mostly true because DRK lost a lot of its wide appeal due to being tank and many people dropped it quickly and AST and MCH launched in hilariously bad states. Really turned a lot of folks off new jobs right away.

SB on the other hand added two of the most highly requested jobs since launch and launched them in strong states while at the same time fucking over tanks that aren't PLD and raping SCH and making the WHM additions underwhelming.

Perfect storm of shit.

Guren and Kaiten Higanbana are your best shit.

When Hagakure is up it's more valuable to use it to convert Sen into Kenki for more Shintens than using the Sen on Midare but Kaiten Midare itself is more Kenki efficient than Shintens so you still want to keep 20 Kenki for when it comes up and Hagakure is on cooldown.

end this meme

relying on crits and direct hits is stupid. Use guren for more reliable damage overall. You either spam shinten and pray for RNG to give you a dps gain and suffer a loss otherwise, or use guren for better dps overall.

My dungeon rotation goes like this: tomahawk, storm's eye combo, upheaval, BB combo, onslaught, swap to deliverance to do a 4 FC inner release meme.

Start with defiance, always try to open with steel cyclone then one or two overpowers, if you really want to hold aggro do a berserk steel cyclone. That's for general AoE trash pulls at least, after doing that I usually swap to deliverance and finish them off. For bosses I usually start off in defiance, do 1-2 BB rotations, then switch to deliverance and work my way up to an inner release + berserk combo and after that just keep storm's eye up and do rotations until berserk comes around again. Normally doing that I never have to swap out of deliverance through the whole fight unless I'm taking a lot of damage or something.

Are you not able to use the duty complete option if you didn't clear it personally?

Should I build 3 sen before Hagakure or is 1 enough as long as I use Hagakure right when it's off cd? I read a guide saying there wasn't a huge different between using Hagakure on 1 or 3 sen but who knows.

>50% of 400 is 40
Not that I'm disagreeing but you get 200 added potency on Combo finishers with Kaiten
>>
>>382473514
It's 200 though.

10 potency per Kenki on those vs. 12 potency per Kenki on Shinten, so only in the most extreme of edge cases where you have 20 Kenki and need to kill something at an extremely specific health value like 0.2s earlier is it worth doing.

So how long before AST cards get nerfed from 20% buff down to 5% with the frequency at which you actually use cards at 70?
>>
>>382473767
Oh or I guess when they will kill and you want to save 5 Kenki.

You just get lucky sometimes.

But there are ways to improve your chances

-Roll a tank
You are always high in demand
-Be social
But don't be a social retard
-Be open to FCs
Try one if you see an ad, but leave if it sucks

I alternate Swiftcast and Lightspeed on pulls to get Aspected Helios out faster so I can do my Largesse+StackHoTs+UseCards+TimeDilationTank+GravityGravityGravityGravityGravityGravity combo.

Afaik you have to have completed it

Pretty basic question for people who play melee: If the boss turned around and I'm right at a positional should I hold off on the button, run to the right position and then use the skill (possibly wasting an entire gcd or half of it doing nothing) or should I use the skill right away even when the position is wrong?
>>
>>382474035
Yeah I can't do like any of that at level 34.
>>
>>382473703
>>382473767
oh I thought it's 10%. I might be retarded
>>
>>382474142
Oh. Healing pre-40 is boring as shit in general anyhow and easy.

>tfw the Balmung refugees have arrived on comfy Sargatanas
I want them to go back. At least we're not getting the Mateus treatment. Poor bastards...

>>382474204

I'm on Sarg and I haven't noticed any changes

At least I'm getting over my fear of tanking, got through 4.0 MSQ as PLD. I wish I had friends though...
>>
>>382474131
you never want to hold GCDs unless it's literally like a half second delay or you need the positional for an additional effect (not sure if those exist anymore)
>>
>>382474131
Use your neutral position finisher that does the same damage regardless of facing.

You ARE playing Ninja, right?

Is there seriously a lack of content in this game? I mean I'm returning after a years break and only playing a few hours (4-5) most days.

Or are the people mentioning that the ones that no-life it to 70 to begin grinding dungeons?

Its that. There's plenty of content, especially now that PVP is fun and good XP now.

>>382474204
i'm pretty sure we got more gilg refugees
also yeah i'm glad we're not mateus, everything i'm hearing about that server sounds like it was better off when it was dead
>>
>>382474204
What's happening on Mateus? I made a new character there for the extra exp.

Jealous

Do you have a job? Or good friends? Man I miss the NEET life. I can do both of the bosses EASY but I don't have the time to wipe for hours at a time and my Fc is worthless.
>>
>>382474398
Even if you dont no-life it you should have one Job at i314 already.

I feel like I secretly must be bad but I can't tell
>>
>>382474398

If you only play casually you won't really notice the content drought between patches. Take your time getting to 70 and there will be plenty to do when you get there.
