Which xiv class do you think are the most difficult? What about healers and tanks?
>>
>>386423787
SMN. Or MCH if simply by how cripplingly bad their DPS output is regardless of the amount of effort you put in.

Is SMN considered the hardest because it's the worst dps class at the moment or is it genuinely harder to play?

Also WAR and AST are the hardest tank and healer

Unsubbing after the MSQ is a good idea. The endgame raids can be fun, but the grind is not worth for the content they provide. Each patch is new tomestone gear grinding with a couple linear dungeons and maybe an aesthetically pleasing boss arena.
I was hoping they'd switch it up for the newest expac, but Yoshi-p is deadset on copying WoW, and somehow getting their catch-up mechanics wrong.

Bard is the hardest job to maximize your dps.

Nigger there's virtually no way you can fuck up anything as SAM, SAM is even unaffected by downtimes. You can just continue your combo from where you left off. SAM has virtually not a single that you need to look out for except not fucking up your positional (which might set you back by one CD)

There's a strange situation among shitty players that is often overlooked by people who know how to play the game. "How can you fuck this up? It's braindead simple. Even pressing the wrong buttons or getting wrong positionals won't make you do THIS badly," you might find yourself saying.

Most terrible players aren't hitting their skills on the gcd. You'll often see the worst offenders hit a skill, wait 5-6 seconds, and then hit another (wrong) skill. It's not necessarily that they don't know how to play, it's that they're literally barely playing in the first place.

I actually like the changes they've made to SMN and the apparent new identity they gave to the job as a build-up DPS that slowly set up it's damage until it reaches it's apogee with Bahamut, as opposed to the solid sustained damage of BLM and the upfront burst of RDM.

The problem is that I don't think you're rewarded enough for all the build-up SMN has to do. Bahamut is strong but it doesn't make up for the x2 rotations of Aetherflow + DWT + saving up CDs to line it up with Bahamut. They should have either allowed a way of extending Bahamut's lifespawn via flawless rotation for a limited amount of time ala BotD or just speed up the rotation required to summon it by giving SMN the SCH's aetherflow trait.

This would at least encourage a niche for SMNs in low downtime fights like V1S.
>>
>>386427789
This is true, however if you had to choose between a NIN and SAM then you'd choose the former, rDMG just knocks it out of the water with its already high dps for a "support melee".
>>
none of the jobs in this gaem are difficult. theyre just bloated with "oGCDs" that you press on cd. no thinking involved for 90% of the oGCDs, its just filler for the slow ass GCD.

SAM is probably the best designed melee because it doesnt have 5 different buttons that accomplish the same task
>>
>>386423787
There's absolutely no way MNK is harder than SAM.
Since HW it has been the easiest melee and it got even easier in SB which is the opposite of DRG/NIN.
>>
>>386429759
the only difficulty for dps in this game is making sure your routing isn't fucked so you can actually double weave

thanks se
>>
>>386429759
This is not true for DRG.
If you play wack-a-mole with every oGCD you'll lose about 300 dps in the longrun, you need to use them to they line up with B4B/Nastrond.

Is gil even useful? I've spent it on nothing but repairs and teleports and still have 1m gil.
Also, why would anyone want to level more than one job? I only have a level 63 and i already have 100+ hours in-game.
Don't really care too much about hardcore raiding. I mainly like exploring the world and hanging out in comfy places like Ishgard.

When the job changes came in a bit before 4.0 hit I swore to myself to never touch monk again. And here I am, six level 70 combat classes and god of the hand title later leveling monk and having so much fun.

Still wished that they had some new abilities but whatever. Shame that I'm locked to paladin main wise until the next gear patch drops.

If you want to buy a house and furniture for it, yes. Otherwise, no. People level other jobs because it brings novelty to playing the game. Once you're done with the story, there's nothing really to explore. I don't know, housing shit might be appealing to you.

For PLD, DRK, WHM and AST some hardcore dungeon spamming. Got lucky and a premade picked me up at bardams when I was leveling my ninja, we grinded all the way to 70 in that one sitting.
For RDM I don't actually know, I just queued in while leveling my crafters and gatherers and it hit 70 at some point. Haven't touched it since.

>>386438431
Nah, just got it few days ago and leveled two jobs 60-70, and another 30-50. PvP on 50-60 is pretty inefficient compared to PotD, but probably doing HW fates could work if they aren't too hard to solo. Still, you're putting in zero effort, which is better than grinding PotD for 10 hours.
I let it run in a small window while I do other things, but I do leave it on while I go out too. Haven't run it overnight though.
Never heard of anyone banned and I see a lot of people botting, it becomes really obvious once you use the bot yourself. They could do a ban wave, but I doubt it'd be financially viable for them.
Only problem I've had with it is one time it started queueing for Feast, and I had to restart the game.

These PvE events only requires you to do a few easy quests, then you to get the glamor set and access to a store that sells the rest of the event items.
These things used to be a bit more grindy before (with FATEs and shit), but shit is easy now.

Apparently reaching top 10 isn't the only way to get the weapons, you can also get one depending of your final rank at the end of the season.
>>
>>386449819
The tank gets a lot better gear from Bardams and onwards so they might've been undergeared.

Pulling the first two isn't a big problem unless they pull the big add afterwards which isn't part of the second pack.

>>
>>386425532
play FFXI instead, it has way more content and all of it is still relevant due to horizontal progression.

it takes months to upgrade shit and it doesn't just vanish after 2 weeks like in modern MMOs, also even lower level shit you can't upgrade has its value for gear swapping, as stuff that improves x y or z ability actually has a massive impact and not some bullshit WoW stuff like +1 second to something or -cooldown, bonus effects in XI can add full minutes on to things or multiply the damage of a skill by a huge amount
>>
>>386450296
>Literally can't even drop shield oath or I'm dead
1, 2 can be tanked entirely out of tankstance and if you're MT you can throw in 3 into the mix if you time your Awareness right. Even pug healers understand this.
>>
>>386450120
>>386450271
Maybe the tank didn't use a cooldown. The tank apologised after dying but she might have just been a nice person or unsure of herself rather than fucking up.

I thought it was my fault as well. Might have been gearing problems on mine and her part also. That was so unexpected

Why is the glamour system in this game so bad? No glamour log, so your glamour just clogs your inventory/retainers. Not only that, but jobs share gear, so you can't even glamour individual jobs in most cases. Like my tanks can't even wear their AF gear because of this shitty system. You'd think a game that emphasizes the all jobs on one character system would have a more elegant solution.

FFXI is pretty casual these days, it used to take forever to do anything, but now you can solo like 90% of the game, with only super endgame stuff requiring groups, or job point parties.

The stuff that takes months are mostly relic weapons, you get them unpowered at level 75 with no stats, then you have to trade in currency to unlock their abilities, the months part is mostly because you have to do a bunch of trials to upgrade them to 99 and current ilvl gear. The currency isn't like your money either, its actual item drops from dynamis that is just called currencies. These items used to take 1-2 years to complete back in the 75 cap era, for perspective.

I recommend FFXI over other things because it has almost perfectly realized horizontal progression, its an old game, so at peak you are only going to see around 1800-2000 players on at a given time, but IMO if you can stomach some of the quirks of a game that old (shitty UI designed for a controller and hot key macros over numeric keybinds), its probably the best thing on the market, quality wise.

I could talk for hours on why XI is great, but that's the jist of it.

drk does fine damage, it just does less damage on its own because it's balanced around the expectation that your party will have slashing debuff.

whats up with /r/ffxiv? its as bad as /xivg/, though for different reasons. is the playerbase just 99% casual fucking cretins? its all stupid fucking screenshots or a fucking blog over how they were too retarded to talk with people in a dungeon and things went bad and now they have massive internalized anxiety and are scared to join the DF again. sort your fucking life out.

also the archival community; wikis etc. i get the game is pretty simple and most shit is tracked in game well enough, but holy shit, everything is not updated, incomplete, or just a cancerous malware platform like Wikia.

Its really not. This is the easiest raid tier to date, but that doesn't stop people from doing "whats meta" because they are seduced into thinking that's the gospel. This kind of mentality stopped making sense after Gordias, but has increased tenfold.

Yeah it was peculiar how they just picked me up with no tests and when I asked they went on about being a "casual/midcore" static
Of course that set off some red flags, but I gave them a chance seeing as it was my first one, but alas it was to my regret and a waste of my weekend.
Somehow I was doing the most damage as DRG of all things while also dying the least. The leader was also a huge cunt blaming either everybody else or the game for his mistakes and got super defensive when I tried giving advice to him.

Well hey at least I got free gear out of it, but I dunno if i'm gonna look for another one any time soon. Feels like it'll just be a mirror of PuGs, hopping around a million "learning" parties until you find that one diamond in the rough that's actually focused, chill and willing to learn.

Just keep looking for statics dude. I don't know why people get nervous about leaving a static and feel obligated to stick around a bit, especially with cross-server statics now. The worst that could happen is that you leave a static on your server and you can't look them in the eye when you walk by them in Ghaldr's Reach, wow big deal.
Just keep being a mercenary till you find a decent squad

Be aware of your skill level and your aspirations.
If you are that new, just join a casual static or pug learning parties.

Been playing for two years and I agree this is the best route if you want to get into raiding.

1. Learn your class really good, like inside out. Read/watch guides and be able to pull a lot of dps in dummies, in actual fights it will become harder to do the same tho.

2. Learn the fight you are going into really well too. Same as before but being able to at least understand what you have to do for every mechanic even if you don't remember the exact order of things.

3. Optimize. Start by thinking how to play better. In the case of a dps, how to do more dmg while dealing with mechanics, if a tank, when to drop tank stance and the order of cooldowns to survive... etc.

It could be a good idea to do older content even if its unsynced so you get more comfortable with the fights and overall rules this game has.

>>
>>386462731
exploratory mission. you take your fc airship to some island where u can kill shit/ gather materials and get gear
>>
>>386462713
food/pots are for squeezing out extra dps if you keep hitting enrage

or for the extra vitality in case you're dieing to raid aoe due to insufficient healing

so basically, yeah, its ok to be stingy with food/pots, you only really need them for that extra oomph
>>
>>386462713
>a real fight is way different
That's why I say learn your class really well. Even if you have to deal with mechanics, you should be able to keep playing properly in something like "automatic" mode, when you can focus on mechanics mostly.

>are foods/pots expteced?
Food yeah, pots only for hardcore/speed clear parties. But you dont need super high or expensive food depending on the party youre with. And if you are very comfortable with the fight and can pull good dps, you can even skip food later.

Pro-tip: if you're trying to tank 65+ content and you're still in ilvl260 shire gear, go burn in a fucking fire and quit tanking. Or just hit the fucking market board.

why is this game obsessed with giving dps jobs, party-wide dps buffs? how can you live with yourself as a dragoon or a ninja, who sacrifices personal dps just so healers and tanks can have higher parses.

im cool with actual utility (shadewalker, mantra, dismantle, etc.), but sacrificing damage as a DD so your healers and tanks do more is backwards imo

just to calrify, im not talking numbers wise. obviously jobs like nin are godlike are autolock for meta, but its the principle that ur giving up personal damage to buff other roles
>>
>>386465368
If the tank is geared properly? Probably. Even then, market board gear isn't that expensive, and I've seen tank and healer gear drop like candy in the earlier dungeons.

no? ninja and dragoon both do ~500 less than sam because they make up for it with raid dps increasing skills. its just lame design imo. their idea of differentiating jobs is to split them into two categories: does a lot of damage or does less damage and has raid dps buffs instead of giving them actual gameplay differences
>>
>>386466030
Yes. I've seen it numerous times, and they always blame the healer for dying in three hits. It's gotten to the point where I've started considering gear checking tanks before pulls and bailing if their gear is shit.
>>
>>386466378
Gameplay differences would mean some classes would be better for some content than other classes, requiring people to actually use the armoury system as intended to maximize efficiency. Esports and moba shitters whose idea of balance is sterile homogeny will not stand for that.
>>
>>386466173
youre not understanding. theyre giving up numbers on their parse in order to increase the damge of non-dps jobs, which is just backwards considering theyre a dps. look at wow, barely any dps specs do this shit because its bad design
>>
>>386466378
If you want to solo things, stop playing MMOs
>>
>>386465659
imo i think every class should be capable of doing roughly the same amount of damage

but tanks would have to spend time doing their mechanics, healers have to spend time healing, and "damage dealers" have to spend time buffing others
