Because I just started playing a few weeks ago and I'm only level 50.

Tanks/healers: do you play your role outside of group content? I enjoy tanking the most by far in groups, but I really love RDM and want to play it as well, but I assume there isn't enough MSQ XP to support 2 jobs.
>>
>>385595219
70 potency on lance mastery and easier to maintain BotD. Not much but the results speak for themselves. DRG outdamages NIN in most content now.
>>
>>385595226
Level a DPS with MSQ since leveling them "normally" can be a pain
>>
>>385595226
Just do RDM for MSQ and the tank for dungeons.
Fast queues means leveling a tank is ezpzmemezy
>>
So when does BLM get fun? I'm at level 12 THM and it seems it's at least the same thing until 30 (dot fire spam blizzard spam repeat)
>>
>>385595262

>>
>>385595226
Leveling is piss fucking easy in this game, you get 50% bonus exp on all classes that are lower level than your highest one so your second/third/etc jobs will be a lot faster than what you are suffering through right now.
Questing in general is slow as fuck compared to dungeons and FATEs if you are in a level range where people do them. Granted DPS queues for dungeons will be a bit on the slower side since there's just so many of them so a lot of people recommend leaving your sidequests to level them instead, but honestly nowadays it's not really an issue anymore with PotD and PvP giving good exp
>>
>>385595294

>>385595509
Trials won't give you nearly as much as a dungeon unless you luck out and get one in leveling roulette or MSQ roulette
>>
>>385595226
how the fuck are you only lvl50 after a few weeks of playing?
you can hit that in a day easy
if you are that slow then you should probably give up on leveling other stuff, you'll never get anywhere
>>
>>385595485
it's 100% below 60 now

but it's still worthwhile to use MSQ experience on a DPS since MSQs give a lot of experience and you have to do them anyway
>>
>>385589367
Cause there is no rush as long you clear the tiers when they are relevant.
my group is already on Neo Exdeath and we raid 2-3 days a week for only a couple hours each day we go in.
There's a chance we can clear this week but not a big deal if we don't.
Next week we will have 3 340 weapons so I highly doubt we won't kill it by week 3
>>
the game is boring
i got pally lvld to 40 and its such a chore, worse than wow.
>>
>>385595438
THM suffers for a long time

Single target gets better at 60, aoe gets a lot better at 70.
>>
>>385595697
>I picked the most boring job in the initial game and it's boring, wtf
>>
>>385595697
that's probably the worst part of the game, most jobs suffer from "doesn't get fun until 60/70" syndrome, especially after SB
>>
>>385595462
If you look at top speed kills the only dps jobs that are in EVERY party are NIN and BRD. The other two are a toss-up between MNK, SAM, DRG for one slot and RDM or BLM for the other, with SMN making occasional appearances. MCH is the only job that's still nowhere to be found.

But RDM and SAM/MNK are by far the most common. Embolden alone makes RDM godlike since the meta is already heavily biased towards physical comps, so having a caster with a physical damage buff is a no-brainer.
>>
So got brd to 70 and need to know some things.
1 when I am in army's paeon when should I switch to minuet? read online somewhere around the 8 second mark but I am not too sure
2. When I go back to minuet do I pop raging instantly or save it for when barrage is up? As in do I pop raging 1o seconds before barrage is available.
>>
Huh

>don't have a healer high enough level to get a cluster anyways
At least I can feel justified using it for RDM instead of DRK this time
>>
>>385593903
>it's pretty easy,
Every raid fight ever.
Far too often I get people who are timid about the fights and they've built a giant daunting task for themselves to deal with in their heads. When 90% of the time, you're just waiting for all 8 people to not fuck up.
How easy this tier is should be no shocker since SUPER SAVAGE!!!! is in the works.
I hope it marks a return to SCoB savage levels of bullshit.
>>
>>385595907
>>
>>385595789
seriously, what were they thinking with some of the pacing in this game? I was playing NIN(61) the other day and ended up in Tam Tara. You have a whopping 3 buttons; spinning slash, gust slash and dagger throw, not counting the utility abilities like Goad etc... not that you would ever need them at that level since everyone is regenerating everything so fast it doesn't matter. I get that they want to ease people into the game, but how do they expect people to be entertained by these 20 minute 2 button snooze fests?
>>
>>385595164
The buffs are shit. Fucking around with potency doesn't change the 105 second windup for Life of the Dragon or just how fucking awkward Nastrond is to trigger.

I don't care what the 99th percentile perfect latency assholes manage to pull off in statics that can cater to them. I care that Life of the Dragon FEELS utterly godawful and you have to jump through a dozen fucking hoops to use it.
I might pick up DRG again if they reduce the Geir cooldown so it lines up with Jump. Until then I'm playing other shit.

When Ballad is at 30 seconds or less and Paeon is at 60 seconds or less

pop raging immediately so you can Iron Jaws with it up. You should be saving Barrage for Refulgent so saving Raging for it might result in you not having Raging for the first Pitch Perfect.
>>
>>385595973
thankfully leveling past that shit is a lot faster now, even without armory bonus
>>
>>385589367
But I did, 3 days after the patch hit.
Overall the worst tier so far and that's saying something. Visually and as far as atmosphere goes NeoExdeath was cool but the fight itself was a tremendous disappointment.
Honestly if Super Savage doesn't end up being cool I'll probably drop this game. I've been just sitting around and hoping the next tier will salvage it for far too long. Ever since Second Coil it's just steadily been going downhill, even with them only making 4 bosses every 7 months almost all of them still end up being fucking garbage. There's at best 1 fight a tier that's worth anything, Phoenix in FCoB, Living Liquid in Gordias, then Brute Justice, and then I guess while nothing was all that amazing for Creator both Cruise Chaser and Alex itself were at least okay.

>>385593802
Yes, people are fucking retarded and jumping on a bandwagon after seeing people wipe on O3S and O4S on Twitch during Day 1, not realizing how much more lenient all this shit will get with just a tiny bit more gear and that even """the best in the world""" make mistakes during progression. O3S isn't even going to be all that hard to pug as long as your party leader knows what they are doing and assigns roles properly and O4S will definitely be fairly doable too, that one is basically going to go through the same learning pains as Bahamut back in the day.

BLM is very fun once you get to higher levels. But it fucking sucks until you get to at least 42.
>>
>>385595515
>>385595548
>>385595743
While we're on the subject of BLM, would there ever be a reason to use BLM over RDM?
RDM can literally do 1320 potency in 6s (Accelerate> Hardcast Veraero/thunder>Veraero/thunder>Fleche>Contre Sixte)
While BLM has to set up Fire 4 spam, and even then Fire 4 is 260 potency every 2s not to mention having to keep up Enochian and Astral Fire up while running around.
Meanwhile RDM can run and cast without any hard dps loss.
>>
>>385596254
Alright I'll stick it out. Can manage 42 since I can at least not even pretend I'm paying attention with PotD on BLM

But seriously, the players of this game are dumb as absolute shit. That's the main reason it's so slow early game. This is just some of the shit I've seen people do in 40+ content:
>People using abilities completely at random
>MNKs who fail to build even 1 stack of Greased Lightning
>BRDs who spam Iron Jaws on targets with no DoTs.
>PLDs who just used Rage of Halone over and over without doing the preceding steps of the combo
>WARs who only use their Butcher's Block combo, never putting up the slashing debuff or their own 20% damage buff.
>SCHs who do nothing but spam Physick whenever the tank's health goes below 100% with Eos on sic.
>Literal bot BLMs that did nothing but spam Fire I and die to every AoE in 60+ content
>Players that AFK in the middle of pulls
None of these people were or will be punished for their shitty play. All these groups still manage to clear.

>>385596289
>RDM can literally do 1320 potency in 6s
Who cares about how they open?
BLM brings more personal damage, RDM brings DPS/raise utility
That's all

Doesn't stop them throwing it into the levelling roulette as a full party of 70s.
>>
>>385596289
Between Triplecast and their movement abilites, if a BLM knows the fight well, they can pull off SAM numbers while still being fairly mobile.

when melding materia
should i go and max out that secondary stat that i get below the stat cap
or just spend it on boosting a completely different
for example
if i throw a savage might vi materia on, i can reach the cap for DET, or i can throw a quicktongue on for more spell speed again, even if its no where near what the cap is for that stat.
>>
>>385596484
you raise the stat that's most beneficial to your job
say brd for example
meld crit, can't meld crit? meld dh, can't meld dh? meld det
>>
>>385596484
You can meld any materia if able to do so. Even crafting/gathering materia for combat jobs.
>>
>>385596476
With the BLM buffs they are outdamaging RDM in content even despite the relative lack of mobility. RDM is still strongly preferred though because of Embolden, Verraise, and it's much more resistant to mechanics and thus easier to pull high numbers with.

I hate this shit. It's the same reason alex 3 got such a bad rep, people that never even seriously tried it were calling it the worst fight in the game and called it buggy and what not just because they saw people not understand it and fuck up the mechanics on stream when it's actually probably the best designed fight in the game
>>
>>385589367
No because PF is cancer and statics are autists who demand 90th percentile or bust. I could do 90th percentile with melee dps, but they're so boring to me I fall asleep playing them. I have 2 more days on my sub and I'm letting it run out.

>>385596604

Because my static has to carry one healer. We were ready to clear O3S a week ago and this entire week was just hammering into her head about shit she should have known. The amount of times she'd ask questions regarding simple mechanics (where to stand for standard waltz when the boss jumps) was infuriating.

I got the tomestone and gobdip though, so I'm looking forward to my i340 weapon next week. Not the best stats for MNK, but at least the crit is nice. O4S weapons don't give you any real benefit because at that point you've already cleared all the content.

PF is cancer but that static thing is just your own shit luck. Can't find a group suited to you? Create one.

Might take a day or two to fill out a roster (probably longer now, I tend to go recruiting shortly before raids drop) but after that it's just replacing people as it becomes necessary.

It's not even a lot of work, you remove the poeple that make it a lot of work.

>when it's actually probably the best designed fight in the game
It was good, but I wouldn't go that far. People mostly had a problem with Living Liquid because of the brutal DPS check even with gear when nothing aside from trying to clear shit day 1 had ever really posed a challenge DPS wise in this game. It's kinda funny, all the better groups always talk about how fucking good of a fight A3S was and then when you go on like reddit or /xivg/ it's considered the worst thing and what killed raiding in XIV for whatever reason.
What really killed Gordias was Manipulator being the quite possibly worst designed boss I've ever seen, it was dreadfully boring for the first 8 minutes and then hammered you into the ground with an absolutely absurd execution requirement for the last 5. It just wasn't fun, at all. If you couldn't sac Nisi you would have most likely seen clear numbers far lower than Savage SCoB on that fight, it was just that retarded.

Nope, taking it ez and chilling until raid time, static only has like 3 hours on weds and sunday.
We are on O3S right now, last week from blind to library, past weds up to enrage and hopefully we clear today.

If for some reason we don't get it then I won't bother until next week, I know how terrible PF is in that fight with the whole "clear party" that wipes before library

Someone never played 2.0 raids when relevant.
It wasn't uncommon for groups to be clearing T4 well into the enrage damage until they were mostly i90.

Mainly because LotA was meant to be ready and we'd have i80 gear but whatever.

For as packed as Gilgamesh is as a server, I can never find anyone to run with.I always wind up throwing a movie or tv show on in the background and doing solo stuff until I get bored. Yeah, it's a fun game, but for me, a very lonely and solitary experience.

Too casul.
I don't have a static so I haven't done any savage content yet aside from A1S light farming. I haven't even done susano or lakshmi ex even though I could pug them, and I haven't even cleared coils. I'll do all of these eventually, but I can't be bothered yet. I still enjoy the game, though.

I don't have the drive to do it anymore, it's not even fun anymore. I won't complain too much though, I got my money's worth, I had a decent amount of fun with the game. I still think Yoshi and his team are doing good work and my respect for them is immense. But this is a game primarily for crafters and glamsluts, combat is secondary.

That's not really true for SMN and MCH. Sure, I can play DRG with one hand while jerking off with the other but there are jobs which require planning and constant attention. Maybe you should try those.

>>
>>385597323
I did play when 2.0 raids were relevant though. Infact I was in one of the groups that were the first to clear T5 the day after the Twister nerf. T4 was not a hard DPS check for any halfway competent group, you struggled with it if you didn't bother upgrading your gear and still used AF, but if you got some of the better sets you shouldn't have had any problems unless your comp was something silly like the BRD stacking a lot of people did early on.
The hardest non-SCoB Savage DPS check prior to A3S was T8, a lot of midcore groups had to drop one of their healers and solo heal that, but that was long before FFLogs was a thing and midcore, let alone more casual, groups didn't really give much of a shit about DPS optimization back in those days - it actually wasn't that brutal for the more competent ones either and if you look at the world first clear was done with like half a minute left on the enrage with 2 healers.

I was also one to clear T5 shortly after the twister nerf. A few days though, everyone had gone back to work after maxing time off.

People solo tanked it as well, yeah. I remember a lot of the more casual groups loading all of the burden onto a single healer as well though. Healer DPS wasn't really a thing people focused on back then and you didn't need both SS and Adlo to keep people save through Allagan Fields so it was fairly common.

If you were struggling with T4's enrage while using Darklight I'm not sure what to tell you, the world first clear didn't even get close to the softenrage and those were probably a lot less geared than you guy's were. Anyways it's kind of a moot point since in the end a shitload of people still cleared T4 quite effortlessly even back in the days, doesn't really matter whether it was after the softenrage started or not

I did not say my group. I'll always go with the average raid population when making a generalisation, we are not the average. Not even average, upper mids would be more accurate.
>>
>>385599029
See, the problem is that they made a good portion of said journey pretty bad because they didn't plan ahead. The six incremental releases of MSQ throughout a Realm Reborn may not have been a big deal for people actively playing the game as they came out, but for the new people? Holy shit.

Level 70? Not too sure on optimal openers, but I use something like:
single target:
blizz3, enochian, thunder3, blizz4, fire3, triplecast, fire4, diversion, fire4, sharpcast, fire4, ley lines, fire, fire4, fire4, fire4, firestarter, convert, fire4, fire4(I forget if you have enough mp for that, but I assume), blizz3, thunder3, foul if ready, blizz4 and then on to the regular rotation.
Foul whenever ready, thundercloud procs if you find a window, firestarter ideally after three sets of fire4 if you can so you can throw another set of fire4s, triplecast whenever you're about to throw another three fire4s, ley lines whenever but not when triplecast is up (some might diagree)

aoe:
blizz3, thunder4, blizz4, fire3, fire2, fire2, flare, flare, transpose, blizz4, fire3, repeat.
A cool thing to do when foul is up is
triplecast, flare, foul, flare, convert, swiftcast, flare. You can throw a max-ether in there if you have one and hardcast another flare, but usually most things are dead at this point.

There's most likely more optimal openers and rotations, but I don't want to bother with them until maybe the next patch in case some balancing and shit changes it all again. It's why I didn't buy into the no-blizz4-meme.
>>
>>385599167
So what's the problem then? You sink a certain amount of hours into something and you've mastered it. Does that make the game shit?
>>
>>385599205
I don't disagree that how they gated this particular game is very poorly done. They are too slow to give you abilities meaning most of the time you are not engaged or even reasonably challenged. People's obsession with the level cap though has done wonders at killing the genre by giving devs excuses to either cheap out on the middle content or just give avenues around them, which does nothing to foster community or engage the player in the game world. Job boost potions do absolutely nothing positive for the game or the players who buy them.
>>
>>385599294
this is pretty much what i do
>>
>>385599167
>I did not say my group.
Sorry for that then, I misunderstood.
Still doesn't change that even the pretty casual groups ended up clearing T4 without too much problems though, T4's Soft Enrage was just way too easy to heal through as long as you still had resources left so it gave you enough of a buffer to clear it even if you don't have the gear/skill required to straight up beat the Enrage just yet.

I'm pretty mixed about them moving away from having soft enrages for most of their fights, I kinda liked how they handled it in T4.
Anything is better than the dumb as fuck Enrage mechanic Brute Justice and NeoExdeath have now though where you pretty much have an entire phase with the boss just spamming increasingly stronger raid wide damage until you end up not being able to cope anymore, it's lazy as fuck. You spend close to a minute doing nothing but that on Neo, it's awful.

>>
>>385599354
I don't like boosts in MMOs as a rule and is actually like an MMO where levelling is at least equal to end game as far as content and enjoyment is concerned. That isn't the case though and frankly having to face the ARR MSQ grind all over again completely puts me off subscribing.

Have we had any soft enrages since T2 and T4? I guess you could include T1. Off the top of my head, I can't think of any so I'm inclined to think they consciously removed them in favour of hardkills.

>The point of the MMO is the journey, not the destination
I unironically liked my first slow climb to 50 back then. Thinking back on it feels so nostalgic, and it felt like others were doing the climb along with me rather than playing with a bunch of max ilevels carrying the low-levels through content the way it sometimes feels like now. I remember when garuda and titan were actually kinda hard, and I still remember when I first learned to flare things properly mid-dungeon with the help of a tank who encouraged me.

Speaking of which, I also just now remembered how I spent the first few dungeons casting sleep on everything the tank wasn't attacking before focusing down each enemy individually until I learned that my role was to aoe things. That was a little embarrassing.

I can't really think of any. Did Phoenix have a soft enrage where he spammed his AoE and got stacks or did it just end up insta killing you after 13 minutes or however long it was? There's shit like Melusine getting an attack and haste buff and just one shotting you with autos one by one, but I'm not sure I'd count that.

At 68 you get a trait that lets you use umbral hearts to reduce the cost of flare, you'll always have just enough mp left for another flare. So after 68, you can always cast two flares every aoe rotation without needing cooldowns.

Unsurvivable by at level DPS and is very different from shit that instantly kills tanks through Hallowed Ground and Tempered Will.

I thought GAF was the one pulling early

or at least, they're the ones getting blamed on Mateus
>>
>>385600931
I honestly can't comment on that. My alt's only 58 and I never played there during any times when hunts would be really active. So in general my description of them as a whole is pretty dated, I think I last played that alt in 3.4

Twintania's Enrage hits through Hallowed Ground and Holmgang though.

>they fled across servers but the meme followed them
GAF pulling early is the meme on ultros even if they're nowhere near, but recently people have been throwing the blame at ZR. Now everyone yells at both, but GAF primarily.

I do not believe so, but what You can do is set up standard bar hotbars and set all the buttons you use on that hotbar there so you can see cooldowns.

Thats what i do anyways

>>
>>385600939
You aren't finishing that fight with just your tanks and that is the intention.
It's an: After this long, these members die with no recovery available.

Constant raid damage until failure? Soft.
Gaining stacks but capping at survivable? Soft
Increasing until unsurvivable? Hard
Outright murder of the party? Hard

Phoenix is a middle ground of sorts but the intent is to make it unsurvvivable, it just doesn't have to outright kill everyone in the party to make that happen.
>>
>>385601275
The only reason you can't find one is that you aren't actually looking or aren't willing to change server.
I came back to the game two weeks ago and already have one again, it's not hard at all at the moment, shitloads of groups are constantly forming and looking for members because of the expansion and Omega.
>>
>>385601237
I believe it, but I don't approve if only because they've been caught often enough for people to blame both now.

It's a meme gaf made up to get back at us because I started gaf'd 3 years ago because of them sneaking hunts.

We have one or two autists who take it overboard but not many people in ZR care about hunts.

>aren't willing to change server.
Literally no need with cross-server PF and parties.
Most would be organising outside of the game anyway.

Any that need you to join an FC aren't worth going near.

Cross server PF is nice if you are just trying out somewhere but if you are actually in a group it's a huge fucking hassle to not be on the same server. I guess it'd be doable, kinda, but it'd be way too annoying to ever even consider for most people.

>>385601576
Gotta market yourself better then, I hadn't done any of the HW raids either. Show them that you are making an effort and give them a feeling for if you are any good and worth investing in by giving them footage of you during pick up groups, doesn't even matter if you killed it or not, show people you care, that you try, and wow them with your adaptability and situational awareness when people fuck up and you try to hero shit.

Any SAM main here?
What do you guys think about this set?
http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/124AM

Without knowing the stats weight, trying to plan out our gear is kinda like a nightmare, but so far we know at the very least that Crit is simply not good to stack, DH is king, DET is good for now and that SkS may be very good on SAM.
So with that in mind, I tried to make a the set with DH > SkS > DET > Crit
And going for around 900 SkS max.

Why are so many DPS allergic to the LB button? Can't even count the number of times I've finished a dungeon with full LB because they just never want to use it. If a boss gets to like 3% and it's still unused I'll just tank LB.
>>
>>385601809
We do have cross-server LS etc coming soonâ„¢. It's only a holdover until that's done.
>>
>>385601887
DPS loss
>>
>>385601887
People only want to use the LB when the boss is at 1% and dies in mid-animation anyways.
>>
>>385601887
I've just popped everything, give me a chance to use everythjing else first.

The worst is using LB1 because it'll be enough too kill only to have it get cancelled when we reach LB2. Yay, more time wasted.

Seriously though. Use it on any trash pull, it will always save more time than on a boss. Except Yojimbo, I can LB1 that guy 2 or 3 times a fight.
>>
>>385601887
Because I'm a caster and I'm not allowed to use it other than for certain big pulls.
>>
It seems you can do everything with one character in this. Is there any point to having more than one character?
>>
>>385601887
Don't know when to use. Personally when playing a DPS job I'm afraid of using it early and then everyone fucking up and then being blamed for wasting LB
>>
>>385602106
not really
>>
>>385602074
Feel free to use it on any moderate pull in a dungeon where there are no large pulls. If it hits hard or just takes a while to kill, do it.

Could be saving us a minute vs the 12 seconds it takes off the boss.

None of the better groups will give a shit about what you killed in XIV, from my experience the only ones that actually recruit based on that are the people forming short-term Linkshells to clear the current content, what you want is a proper raid group. They will still ask that question obviously, but they won't actually care if you cleared any of the recent raids or not. It's just an easy and straightforward way to judge your base competency. When they ask you what you killed you don't respond with "nothing, I had to focus on my studies", you tell them you've been doing PFs to try and learn the current content but haven't found any groups that were capable of winning yet. You go into detail as to why they failed without just ranting about "that shitty WHM that never AoE healed" and blaming others for everything. Talk about what you could have done better and upload some of your better attempts to show them that you know your shit.
>>
>>385602106
Only if you want to raid with other groups, since there's a weekly lookout system which won't give the full lots to the party you're in if you've already cleared it for the week.

>>385602106
Gear is all on lockouts so if you want to play multiple jobs or have more options during progression it's nice to have dedicated alts so you don't have to stretch your tokens out and gear multiple jobs as fast as a single one. Once content is on farm you can also do good old alt splits to funnel more raid drops to your main characters
>>
>>385601576
Just lie and tell them you've done everything. They're never going to know, and most likely if they're that anal, you dodged a bullet anyway.
>>
>>385602238
That's still way too much effort, as a raid lead, I don't want all that nonsense. All I want is 10 minutes of your time. Show me what you do.

>>385602391
I've done recruitment for a lot of progression teams over the years both in WoW and now in XIV and just giving someone a single shot to perform in a random fight doesn't really give you a good idea of their personality in my experience.
Generally what I'm looking for is whether they are conscious of their own actions and how they reflect on the raid team, if they are able to look at their own gameplay and improve through (self-)criticism or get defensive, if they are able to adapt on the fly or not, are they able to make rational decisions when tensions fly high, will they be able to actively contribute when you are progressing and hammering out strats.
How competent they are with their class/es is oftentimes fairly obvious within just a couple seconds of looking over footage and after a certain point doesn't even matter that much anymore, it's all the more social and interpersonal shit that's significantly more important.

Can someone explain to me how secondary stats work? I mean is it really worth giving up good secondary stats for increase to ilvl and main stats?

For example on blm I'm looking at the 276 hands and it has no spell speed on them and I rely on spell speed as a blm. While my 270 Shire hands has spell speed and and direct hit. The difference between the two is a 7 int difference.

>>385602687
it doesn't really matter for leveling gear, but in general main stat increases will far outweigh anything else
>>
>>385602687
Given that you can use tier 6 materia now, that accounts for up to 80 points per stat (or 40 on accessories) Still not sure if giving up the int for secondaries is still worth it. Generally people will try to find a same ilvl piece with more desirable secondaries.
