8-man content is not the only content in the game.

If no one uses shields in end-game raids then what does it matter to you anyway? It certainly matters to me when the tank has pulled half the dungeon and the piddly shield that costs 10% of my MP bar breaks before the gcd is even over. Even a roused Whispering Dawn on top of that has difficulty outpacing the incoming damage.

If you aren't talking about 8 man content why do you care about AST shields? A benefic also breaks immeditely if the tank pulls half the dungeon and in that case you wouldn't even be in Nocturnal outside the preshield before pull. You have excog, shadowflare, and e4e and the tank has defensive cds. Adlo and Eos don't absolve you of your healing obligations if you're doing big pulls the shield is giving you a buffer that is enough to let you get your dots up and bane them. Then you, yes you not just the fairy, have to heal. I know sch isn't op anymore but whining about adlo and the fairy not being enough for a giant pull where people aren't over-geared makes SCHs look like such babies.

I shit you not once you get your chocobo level it into healing then forget your tank pet exists. The problem is with ONLY SMN the chocobo will not target your pet to heal it meaning your low damage tank pet is never going to get healed because Physik only scales off of mind and requires you to spam it on a tank pet just to keep the health stabilized. Meanwhile you're doing no damage.

So instead of what makes logical sense when leveling and out in the world you want heal chocobo out 24/7 and Ifrit as your summon. You're going to face tank mobs and your chocobo will actually heal you meanwhile Ifrit gets to do it's pretty solid damage. You can solo on level FATE bosses with this but you'll fail trying to do the same with a tank pet because they don't move out of damage zones and take 100% of the attacks made against them. Plus Physik actually heals yourself fairly well because of your lower hp so all in all Heal Choco/Ifrit is best leveling combo. I'm sorry you had to find this out at level 60.

I don't care about AST shields. I care about my own shields, and use AST shields as an example of what we could be having but don't for some reason. Where the fuck in my post did I say that I didn't want to heal? The point is that Adlo is so completely inefficient that it's not worth the bother half the time, and that my own healing plus the healing from the fairy can only keep up with the damage from a big pull by the thinnest of hairs while the other two healers don't have this problem. It's an issue precisely BECAUSE the shield isn't a big enough of a buffer to throw up my own dots without the tank dying.

If Adlo's shield actually had some power to it to justify the massive MP cost then I wouldn't at all mind it if I could throw it up, throw up my dots, and then focus on keeping the tank alive while the dots tick, but that's not the case at the moment. When I literally have to devote 100% of my time just to keep the tank alive when the entire gimmick of the job is that it's supposed to have tools to prevent exactly that from happening there is a problem. I didn't mind the fairy nerf, the aetherflow nerf, or even the bane nerf, but this shit right here just kills any enjoyment of the job.

That's exactly what MMOshitters want though. Sure, you'll hear them complain about stagnation and reminisce about the good old days where MMOs had so many different flavours, but if you present them with an MMO that tries to experiment with different mechanics they'll say "wheres muh holy trinity, muh tab targeting, and muh end game grindan??" while rooting for its inevitable death.

mythic and savage raider here to chime in

wow raiding is hardcore 20 man action that has 10+ years of encounter designs and a hive mind playerbase of neckbeards who know the ins and outs of everything

ff14 raiding is friendly 8 man boss fights with no trash, most fights are single target and little diversity in mechanics mostly orange aoe circles or look away from the eye icon or stack together for the arrow marker. my favorite fights are sephirot and shinryu both visually pleasing and mechanically enjoyable but also casual filters for the kiddies who bought a boost, the playerbase also suffers from a lot of casuals because of this. give it time and maybe the difficulty curve will pick up but clearing deltascape 4 savage without a lockout reset or gear check kinda speaks for itself. A4S was much more manly.

BDO is a sandbox you can have fun with if you like grinding mobs and doing cart deliveries

ARR isn't that long, most of these 200 quests can be done in 5 or less minutes. It feels long because the pacing is terrible (especially if you are playing them in one go) and you constantly have to stop one story arc out of nowhere to start another one.
>>
>>384802658
The pacing is fucking ridiculous. After doing your first full party trial, and killing an imperial officer, the very next quest is you killing three trashmobs, making them into soup, and then giving it to a bunch of randos. This is like three quests before the Ultimate Weapon.
>>
>>384803014
You're raising morale. Like someone running for president going to work in a soup kitchen for a photo-op.

>>384802658
If you skip all the cutscenes you can be done with all of ARR quests in like 2 days. Not like you're missing out on the scenes anyways, because any scene that isn't voiced is obviously filler and you can rewatch any scene in the inn or get the gist of it by reading the summary text at the same inn.

>>384800183
>AST shields as an example of what we could be having but don't for some reason
Because you are a different job with a shield with different properties that also has constant ogcd mp free healing and multiple ogcd and mp free heals. If you are still struggling between keeping your dots up while healing after these buffs that is either a you problem or the tank not using cds properly because you can 100% throw up your dots without letting the tank die. Yeah it's harder than it is for the other healers but that's the cost of SCH's dps, utility, fairy, and ogcd mana free heals, you are less efficient at healing. They can't be good at everything.

>the entire gimmick of the job is that it's supposed to have tools to prevent exactly that from happening there is a problem
SCH can mitigate damage. It cannot prevent the damage coming from a giant pull in content where everyone isn't overgeared.
>>
>>384802164
Titan has very little use. Maybe only multiple dangerous mobs tightly packed in open world which almost never happens. You can kill them faster with Ifrit anyway so honestly just bench Titan forever.

Ifrit is your highest damage pet.

Garuda is the dps/support pet. Lower overall damage than Ifrit but she comes with a group buff that's really good. Most people use Garuda for content solely because of her Contagion buff, but technically Ifrit will do more damage in a fight. Basically it comes down to, do you want to do more damage as the Summoner and get more use out of Enkindle (Ifrit), or are you okay with your damage suffering, having a worse Enkindle, but bringing a group buff.

The nice thing is that with Stormblood Ifrit is now actually viable. Before for a long time the only viable pet was Garuda.

Ifrit only does more damage if it's a fight with little movement or phase changes. Radiant shield is also similar to contagion but for physical oriented comps. I prefer garuda for that consistency and contagion buffs my dmg even if my party is mostly physical damage

I'd suggest using Ifrit if you can. Garuda's main attack has a cast time and in that time Ifrit has probably gotten within range. Also his buff comes with damage and his Enkindle is way better than Garuda's. The only thing Garuda really has going for it is in fights where there's almost zero static boss time which is rare, and that contagion can be taken advantage of by you and your group.

I just prefer Ifrit because without him SMN damage does suffer.

Crit is useful up until the drop off plateau which is around 9k. We cannot get anywhere close that much.

Crit overtakes DH in usefulness at around 3k/2k for bards. DH/Det is probably the go to for Monks atm since they get a constant feed via Bootshine and IR. DH's scaling is absolutely insane for how much of a dps increase it can be. If you really want to spam Chakras, DH/Crit with some melds.

So it's alright for SCH, the healer job, a job whose role is to keep people alive, to be actively worse than the other two healers at keeping people alive, because it has a few other abilites that are there to help keep people alive, despite the fact that these abilities aren't sufficiently helpful in keeping people alive because in the end it's still worse at it than the other two.

>You can't be good at everything.
I don't expect to be good at everything, I expect to be SUFFICIENTLY CAPABLE at the things my job is expected to do. By extension if my job is supposed to center around damage-absorbing shields and I'm expected to make use of said shields then I expect those shields to actually be worthwhile and actually worth the hotbar space they're on. Regardless of how good SCH is or isn't at keeping people alive you cannot deny that Adlo in its current state is next to useless. If you think that it's okay for a job to have abilities that are literally trap options just because it has some other good abilities to make up for it then go fuck yourself because that's not good design and you know it.

SCH isn't even that great at dps anymore, the WHM buffs has made it all but caught up in terms of dps and with the issues I outlined about any small dps lead that SCH may have in a vacuum vanishes because they have to spend so much more of their time personally healing instead of applying dps. Balance used to be the most powerful ability in the game until the most recent patch and even then it's still more than enough to make up for AST's own poor dps. What is left that SCH is actually good at? Off-gcd heals, something that despite their existence still makes SCH bad at keeping people alive, which you yourself just admitted to in your own post?

I can't really offer much here because I've never played SCH, but my friend has been a SCH main since 2.1. Through 61-69 he was disappointed with scholar and played, but after spending awhile at 70 he started to see the class as still being really strong if not OP and acxording to him the recent buffs just made it even stronger, he says he only has to cast a few heals during a fight and the rest of the time he does dps.

If people are disappointed with current SCH I'd say just play around with it a lot at 70 and look up some really knowledgeable scholars to really learn to excel at it.

The job doesn't center around shields. That is just one of the multiple options that is availble to them all the time. As s a jack of all trades with many tools to deal with incoming damage lower potencies is cost .Nuke ogcd single target or aoe ogcds heals? SCH has that in spades on short cooldowns. Aoe shields or single target shields? SCH has that. HOTs? SCH has that. CC to reduce enemy damage? SCH has that. The potencies are just lower so you can't keep the tank at 100% in a giant pull as easily as the others that doesn't mean it's not more than sufficiently capable. Stop assuming adloqium is supposed to be your main heal, it's not. It's a beefy heal and shield that gets a crit bonus and can be spread it is more than useful

Literally every single healer job has all of those things that you just said. If SCH is a jack of all trades they all are, fuck, I'd say AST is much more deserving of the jack of all trades moniker since they can literally switch between shields and healing.

>Stop assuming adloqium is supposed to be your main heal

5-star decks would make the game completely retarded. You wouldn't be able to take cards at all 99% of the time because people would just use Aces for everything, unless MAYBE every match had the Fallen Ace rule. The only reason NPCs get unlimited decks is to compensate for their retarded AI. They'd be way too easy if they followed the rules.

Meh. 4-stars are useless, but so are most cards. Even of the 3 and 5-stars, only a handful are worth using because they're significantly stronger than the others.

CNJ or MRD. PLD is the worst of everything by far, though that's a Job so I don't know how much you'll count it.

Things have changed, just depends on what you're looking for. Standard combat is the same, (GCD, combos, etc)
Leveling though ARR is faster though to get past those piece of shit quests. HW and SB are better, although HW > SB storywise.

Heavensward story is a pretty good ride till post-final steps of faith. I say you stick with it at least until that point, otherwise you'll miss out on one of the best areas in the game. Stormblood' plot is mostly hot garbage, but the production value really shows in the dungeons and trials, which are some of the best in the game and introduce some new mechanics. If that interests you then I say you can trudge on further than that.

Yeah, but why can't we do it ourselves? Why are Alphinaud and Y'shtola so certain that "trapping Primals and throwing them away" is such an unviable tactic, just because the Allagans kept them close by as an energy source? Why can't we just fire them somewhere completely unreachable?

>>
>>384818290

Probably because inevitable some asshole is gonna do something with it, and it's going to be horrible.

Bahamut was pretty well hidden away, in a fucking moon, and far away. Not even used as an energy source because he was so feared. Literally thrown into space.

Then some Garlean thought it was a great idea to communicate with it, get tempered by it, and do everything in his(her) power to call it down.

Can you convince me to keep leveling my DRG, /v/?

Currently level 65. I'm executing my rotation almost flawlessly on every pull. I got out DPSed by a fucking WAR on a boss. I have to work twice as hard to even get near every other class in DPS. RDMs can spam one god damn button and do shit loads of AoE damage, while I have to desperately try to align mobs in my invisible tiny ass frontal cone AoE attacks which always ends up clipping one or two. I run out of TP and that faggot RDM still has his full MP bar.

Does this get better at 70?
>>
>>384818261

>>384818510
Dalamud was used as an energy source, that's its entire purpose.

>>384818290
I don't think there's anything keeping them from being resummoned, the Allagans just happened to wipe out the civilizations the primals were worshipped by at the same time they captured them then kept the primals around after for shits, giggles, and SCIENCE.
>>
>>384818290
the Eorzeans in no way have the tech to reliably capture primals

and punting them out into deep space probably just means they unsummon themselves when they run out of aether anyway so it's not a reliable way of making sure they never get summoned again.

I mean it varies on the type of player. There's a few people in my FC discord that posted pictures of themselves.

You've literally not played a majority of other MMOs with end game progression if you think this.

WoW is locked behind legendary farming and AP grinding if you even want to think about raiding, and almost everyone else who started before is going to fuck you

BnS has a huge horizontal progression treeline that keeps growing with each patch and requires a lot of resources and they very rarely catch you up.

FFXIV resets your gear basically every 3 months with the catchup patch and raid gear is in no way extremely better than tome gear outside of minor secondary stats. It's literally the best game to come back to when it comes to getting caught up.

First pull hits pretty hard. Pull it (first two alarums + the wall that pops up into your path) to the gate and CD really generously. Next pack hits hard, but a little less, so you might wanna hold rampart or something for it. Otherwise it's pretty braindead. MSQ dungeons have to be.

Nigro you can be raid ready with crafted gear what are you even on about.

You're not "catching up" doing MSQ, you're playing the fucking game. Because guess what, the "end game" amounts to dick shit squidly. You could make as much "progress" racing chocobos. This is the most welfare gear I've ever seen in any MMO and content basically becomes replaced and irrelevant every patch cycle because there IS no progression, only what's current.

You need them all at Max level if you want to make a profit. Otherwise you will need to buy the materials that other Crafters make and you won't have the cross class skills to hq the items you make either.
>>
>>384822031
SMN is kind of obsolete now that RDM exists, but that doesn't mean that SMN is unviable. They can still clear everything in the game. Personally I like playing SMN more than RDM because you don't have to stare at a number meter for 10 minutes in a fight.

>>
>>384826579
Crafting is a clusterfuck now, every crafter has 37 skills if you use all the cross-class slots, and 47 on specialists. But like, most of them you'll never use.

Instead of just dumping the horrible cross-class system that forces you to level every crafter and trimming some of the useless shit like the Brand of/Name of Element skills, they just dump another 10 skills on your lap and go "here, some of these should make up for it lol"

If they want to make it so the crafters aren't all exactly identical, just give each one 2-3 traits that upgrades the base skills in a way that lets them avoid taking certain cross-role ones. E.g. CUL could get a trait that upgrades Steady Hand to 30% so they don't have to take Steady Hand II.

How do I make gil?
>>
>>384797236

As a scholar, I'd definitely have taken an emergency tactics esque self buff that guarentees the next heal is a crit so I could actually have effective shielding sometimes over any of the skills we actually got. Especially the shitty fairy regen beam. Even if it burnt an aetherflow for it.
We're not in a bad place now with the buffs we got last patch, but Aldoquium really needs readjustment or something else supporting it to justify it's cost.
It's a bread and butter skill for the job that was meant to be part of it's identity, but it's drawbacks and narrower than ever use case to investment ratio are making me never really want to use it at all. Why is our main unique single target heal only reliable for pre-pull crit fishing and then deployment?
You waste way too much mana fishing for a crit when you actually need to mitigate something by deployment, and by the time you get one it'd be too late anyway.

In a game where doing what you were supposing to do automatically put you well above average

>>
>>384827703

I actually like the new patched beefier excog with sensible CDs, since it actually helps a lot with the issue that were introduced.

I'd change it like this.

>Weaken excogitations total potency a fair bit, and have it turn into a strong but very short regen effect when it pops instead of a burst heal. Keep it's current CD and AF requirement.
>Replace Chain Strategem with a new skill that consumes an AF to make the next Adlo or succor guarentee crit and instant cast. 45s CD. Name it Mitigation Stratagem or simmilar.
>Rework Aetherpact to provide a different effect between Eos and Selene, and also be triggerable without a target.
>When used without a target, it's effect is halved but provided over a small (say, 5m) AOE field, which needs highly precise fairy placement to use effectively. The fairy can be commanded to move as usual in this state. Eos keeps the regen, but Selene provides a beefy skill/spell speed buff, at least equivalent to Ley Lines.
>Remove Dissipation, replace it with Chain Stratagem at whatever level it was at.

>>384829319

>tfw get a average of 1.5 comm as a DPS

people love and notice when runs go quickly.
>>
>>384829898
I literally parse dungeons so if it runs really fucking quick I pick top DPS to comm. If both are fucking shit I just go with the healer unless I die in a pull. Then no one gets shit.

>wtf? Hard is legitimately easier than regular Sohm Al
First boss has AOE that can instakill everyone too close to it.
Second has a charged up fire AOE that can kill you in two hits if you don't move.
Last hits hard and if DPS is low you might end up with too much shit on the floor that kills you.

The Burn's going to get the Xelphatol treatment and just be a duty, I bet.

In other words, it's hard for people who have a barely functional brain.

Because only gays and fujoshit play male characters.

You should give it to non top dps if they are like machinist or something and still very close to like the samurai
>>
>>384830008
I usually just give it to whoever is slowest leaving the dungeon.

What's the best parser to use? I have some room on my HUD I want filled.

In other words, the french.

Also SO many tanks who don't use the steam to debuff the mobs. FUCK.

Are there any axes that looks like a halberd? War have the best animations in the game, but there are way too many big, clunky plastic looking axes.

>>384828467
It's dead as far as new content goes though, and the majority of the high-level playerbase won't touch if you aren't already full i119 w/ XYZ relics.

RDM is a dps, its not suppose to heal the tank.
>>
>>384830847
Did you use a boost for +craftsmanship? They don't give EXP. Only the one for +crafting EXP.
>>
>>384830852
I remember seeing one in ARR quest rewards. I think it was also called 'something Halberd'. Maybe you can find it in some database off that.
>>
>>384831140
yeah i used one that gives boost to disciple of hand classes when synthesizing that gives a limit of +100k bonus exp
