My queues as DPS were pretty short (at least 2x shorter than now) in HW. They really dropped the ball in the expansion, particularly for healers. Healer queues are instant now, yet tanks are the only ones that still get daily rewards.

The only way to change that would be to alter the fundamentals of what makes tanks/healers what they are, which would likely fuck up far more things in the process. People just don't like the responsibility associated with healing or tanking, exaggerated though it may be. Unless we're talking about some specific mechanics in end-game raids or someone just straight falling asleep at the keyboard, it's quite likely that a DPS will never be solely responsible for a wipe, while a tank or a healer can't say the same unless they're lying to you.

Like, what the fuck were they expecting to happen with this shit? I understand they can't balance tanks and healers worth a fuck, but if people actually flocked to those roles a bit more maybe they'd get a bit more love.

Instead, not only did two powerful and anticipated DPS jobs get added, but they made all of the tanks as boring as paladin rather than even attempting to make paladin fun, and they decided that other healers were unnecessary and gave all the fun healing toys to AST while SCH gets fucked dry and WHM is watching netflix.

Well, despite his clear intent on ending the Dragonsong War, he had no qualms in wanting to kill every dragon he came across, and made no hesitation to threaten dragons when given the chance.

Your question is too broad. I don't know your tastes, so I can only give you an opinion from my own limited perspective. You have to be more specific about "why" you're considering resubbing. What do you even like about MMOs? What other games are you playing that you feel might be worth focusing over this?

For all I know you're just considering catching up with Mindsweep or Castle Crashers and can't decide between those or resubbing FFXIV.
>>
>>388293513
His situation was very similar to Nidhogg's own. He lost everything he loved to Nidhogg's brood and his hatred kept him going, just as Nidhogg persevered to destroy Ishgard.
>>
>>388293513
>he had no qualms in wanting to kill every dragon he came across, and made no hesitation to threaten dragons when given the chance
Because dragons had been killing his friends, family, and countrymen for 1000 years despite the Ishgardians not having anything to do with what happened or even knowing anything happened at all. So yeah, he was more than happy to kill them. They're fucking demons that were torturing innocent people.

When I got into it, I really enjoyed it. I just started hating how everything was 'talk to x then come back to y' for main quests. Then I went on holidays

when i came back, it seemed more of the same and I was ready to move on from that.. just felt like needless leveling and needing to wait 20+ min for a story dungeon.

And its /vg/ thread (I know..) is just cancer, but there seems to have been an uptick in threads here recently.

If I can find a normal group in Marlboro that's pretty active, I'd join in a heartbeat. I genuinely love what the game seems to offer, I just don't know if it's worth to pay $15 for a quiet-chat fetch quest

>Honestly when it came down to the fact that they might not be able to end the war without killing Nidhogg, he seemed all too happy about it.
In hindsight this seems a lot less damning when it turned out that they literally couldn't end the war without killing Nidhogg. Vengeance begets vengeance, etc, but sometimes you just have to kill the bastard behind it all.

fair enough. When I got it, I tried the free trial because I was hankering for a good mmo, and I heard many times over 14 was the best. It took me ~10 hours of playtime before I bought it because a LOT of it rubbed me the right way for how I thought an MMO should play, like only needing one character that can level every class and just needing to do the story for your first class. I play monk, because I saw I could get a pompadour and be a fist fighter. Liked how position was important for the class. Everything seemed to be an overall improvement over when I played WoW (circa BC)

It just sucks playing alone. Tried convincing my irl friends but nobody's game

All they have to do is make the jobs feel more rwarding and "fun" to play. They're kind of on the right track with tanking (though I feel tanking was leagues better in HW), but healing right now is just a pain in the ass. All of the dungeons in SB can be pulled wall to wall and with the change to sprint, tanks can now do more aggressive pulls, with complete disregard to the healer's cooldowns (this is especially bad with scholars, who have both cooldowns and stacks to maintain between pulls). They are also incredibly boring to play in solo content. Add in the raging hard-on everyone has for DPS'ing in this game and it feels like there's just no incentive to heal.

Even a small change like cracked clusters for both tanks and healers in dailies would encourage more people to queue up as healer, but that would sense so we can't have that.

If there's one thing you need to know about FXIV is that it never gets any better for the main story quests. In fact it gets a LOT worse. The between base game and heavensward is downright horrible and made me consider buying a jump potion With how god awful it was.

However there is quite a lot of fun once you start reaching 40 and 50 as your classes really come online then.
If you don't mind throwing out 15 bux I'd say give it a shot. There's also a free, untimed trial that lasts until you're 35 so if you wanted you could try starting over from scratch, 35 levels is really not that much.

Also remember that groups don't just come to your lap. You gotta ask around and socialize. Eventually you'll find a place
>>
>>388293871
True, but when it comes down to it, I think the whole message of the Dragonsong War is that no matter what, vengeance begets vengeance and violence begets violence, even if Nidhogg needed to be killed to put an end to the War, it was still answering the problem with more violence, causing the circle to continue. Of course, there was likely no way they could ever stop Nidhogg in a non-violent way, but it was still just feeding the bloodshed

It can be tough to get people to do old content right now. If you still have any desire to play, my best suggestion would be to join a less populated server, because those tend to have the most new players in my experience. Avoid legacy servers or anything remotely as populated.

The alternative to this is to find a good FC, with reasonable people (and little to no drama) that are willing to help newer players get through old content. This option takes more effort, but is potentially more rewarding in the long term.

And I'm pretty sure the free trial goes to 30, which I've passed, and 23-29 was probably the worst of what I was talking about by far. Stupid fucking place to end the trial on.

Find a FC. Same as in any MMO, find a guild or eat shit having less fun than you could have otherwise. It doesn't even have to be a "good" FC but as long as they're not cancerous furfags and you enjoy their company there'll always be some bored fuckers in there willing to group up with you and run through content, which as a DPS player will increase your Quality of Life by a fucking dickload.

>>388294457
>even if Nidhogg needed to be killed to put an end to the War, it was still answering the problem with more violence
I know we're working against Final Fantasy logic where friendship is the ultimate power, but answering an inherently violent problem with violence is not in itself a bad thing. If a dog is rabid, you put it down. The overall problem of the Dragonsong War was that mortals and dragons were both continuing the millennia old conflict without the understanding of why it even happened. The mortals who realized the truth and the dragons who were separate from Nidhogg's rage could see common ground. Once the human side of the conflict was dealt with, it was Nidhogg who was prolonging the war, and there was no other way round it but to kill him. He could not be talked down or reasoned with in any way, and as long as he lived the war would continue. It's not a philosophical question of if violence is worth potentially more violence at that point, it's that there's one cunt who is continuing the violence and the one option he has given you is to kill him or to keep fighting a perpetual war.

Gaius was still a shit. He had no idea how the problem of the Primals worked, and was fully on board with genociding the Beast Tribes, not to mention he was pretty much dancing to Lahabrea's puppet strings, creating an unstoppable weapon that the Ascian would surely have used to lay waste to Eorzea to further the Ascian's goals. Gaius was a fool with good intentions who was a puppet for greater forces and would have literally been handing Eorzea over to the Ascian's if he won.

Which is why the Garlean's under Gaius' orders were fucking with the Beast Tribes of Eorzea, right?

They weren't, actually. Gaius didn't send his troops back into Eorzea again after Midgardsormr fucked the Agrius up. He didn't want to send his men in to die against primals only for them to be summoned back. The only Garleans he sent in were spies to try and create civil unrest as they did in Ala Mhigo so he could take them as peacefully as possible.
The troops sent into Eorzea were under Nael's command. Nael was batshit fucking crazy and walked into Ifrit's lair herself to kill him.

A good test for a newer player is to ask if anyone wants to party up with you for whatever dungeon while there's a good amount of people on. A helpful FC will have at least one person gracious and bored enough to join you.

Imo it's best to level DPS through MSQ, because you always have a ton of shit to do between queues. Always level tanks or healers last, because they get quicker queues, so don't really need to much outside of dungeons for leveling. There's also Palace of the Dead, where you get quick queues regardless of your class, but I think you have to get through ARR first to access it.

Which has nothing to do with poking the beastmen and making them summon primals. The primals, aside from Ramuh, had all been summoned prior to the Calamity. In ARR he was fucking with the beastmen because they had already been summoning primals for 15 years and he finally had his Ultima Weapon ready to take care of their primals forever.
>>
>>388295691

Just because he had no idea doesn't mean he was unwilling to listen to reason. From his perspective, Eorzea had no idea how to deal with primals either apart from the "eikon slayer."

I think the reason I stayed with this one was because I didn't think any would be more active, seeing the player base at my situation
>A helpful FC will have at least one person gracious and bored enough to join you.
That's what I thought, but I also remembered I wasn't playing WOW, which has countless members, compared to limited. So I felt kinda shoehorned, I guess.

You seem to be basing your experience on one failed FC. Seriously, just bounce and try a few more. As you say, your FC is already dead. Just fuck off and see if you can find a group of decent players. You don't need some group full of elite players, you just need decent sorts who are willing to help a new player out, and there are a dickload of groups that meet that criteria.
>>
>>388296594

I hold the opposite opinion. Apart from a select few dungeons, ARR/HW dungeons were seemingly constructed with the intention of making them enjoyable for every class. In SB, most of the dungeons consist of open space that can be sprinted through, which is nice for tanks and "good" dps, but is always a chore for the healer unless they're a masochist.
>>
>>388295795
I like dps more but only by a little. I like performing well but healing is great because it's easy to play well so even when I'm unfamiliar with the content my performance will be good or better. The queues are a big thing since I work. Also knowing the fight from a dps perspective and a healing perspective are 2 different beasts and knowing the fight as a healer is much easier to me. I however feel like I'm being too hung up on the difficulty of performing content since I want to play as well as possible. However I feel like I should tough it out but I don't have friends to practice content with and pubbing content doesn't lean itself to learning on a blm do well or die gameplay.


This is a fucking dilemma.
>>
>>388296919
Well if you're time short, play healer for near instant queues.

Sch is my best healer but I don't like it's effectiveness in this expansion whm almost has as many ogcd heals and a nice regen that is better than the fairy with insane cds. I thought tanks were just squishy but playing whm in trials and dungeons was eye opening. I had a mentally challenged cat pld in sirensong that activated shield oath after the boat crashed on land and I kept him and the members/myself that ripped aggro and gave the most damage. Sch cannot do that and in shisui after learning stone 4 it's basically a wrap. Dropped desu. Even if the fix it it will still be janky.

Our FC is small and made up of a mixure of real life friebds and long time gaming buddies but we're always open to newcomers. I'll admit that we haven't been as active recently mostly due to a lot of us getting burned out on the gear grind. And to be fair, we've been lazy at organizing FC events. I'm trying to be better though at keeping things alive.

We do have a rank 8 house and everyone is very helpful. So if you need gear or materials or need to clear something....someone will help you out. If you want to check us out. Let me know. Do you have discord?

You use onslaught twice because it gives gives a lot of enmity and you should be in dps stance while MTing.

Storm's Eye > 100 beast Guage > berserk > heavy swing > inner release > fell cleave > onslaught > fell cleave > upheaval > maim > FC > storms path > FC > infuriate > FC > FC > onslaught

bro Ramuh EX is by far the hardest ARR EX to do synced on DF. The mechanics are simple yet their execution require things you will almost never see in pugs:

>Proper positioning
>Adaptability
>Raidwide responsability
>Management of resources

It's a fucking pug killer. Zurvan EX years later can attest to that with the shitshow that was Soar and Tethers/Meteors
>>
>>388301213
On the subject of Susano, I once did a run with a guy who had Ultimatum instead of Provoke because he had been doing a canal and forgot to switch back. It was pretty funny because he couldn't voke off me for every buster
>>
>>388300689
Yeah but if you only use upheavel your gauge will overflow, so you actually have to use onslaught at some points.

Also you want to empty your whole gauge while beserk and inner release are still running, that may not work if you wait for upheavel

I've gotten 5 weapons and about 30 tokens. I've done plenty of Susano.
I'm pugging up to O2S weekly at this point, and, though I've met plenty of shitty co-tanks, it was never aggro issues. It was more like "too stupid to use a cooldown to survive long enough to get to the swap in O2"

You can only use 1 upheaval during A Zerk or IR window. For Zerk/IR windows you Onslaught twice and Upheaval once, during normal Zerk windows you Upheaval once and Onslaught once.

Its not the swap thats hard to do, you use shirk only so both tanks can stay dps stance and max out their damage.

Going tank stance and doing additional aggro combos isnt "harder" to do anon, but you will loose out on dmg.

See, now, the real problem is finding healers that are both okay with and capable of actually healing two tanks who don't go into tank stance and use cooldowns in pugs. Like, I'm pretty sure there's no way we'd get away with it in a pug if we just stayed DPS for twin bolt
>>
>>388301593
Or you could not hurt your dps by simply making sure you and your off tank have shirk. Literally no reason to not have it.

You don't.

You either join a zerg FC and try to form your own clique or get invited to a small "close-knit" FC where nobody talks in chat because they're too busy jacking each other off in their Discord server.

But what about Awareness and Anticipation?
>>
>>388301960
Warrior is the tank that feels the most like a dps class at the moment. You have a full rotation that you need to upkeep otherwise your dps drops like a rock. Drk and Pld are much more forgiving in their rotation and have more utility but if you can optimize War well its far and away the best dps out of the tanks.
>>

I don't get it. You mean huge and crawling with people?

>>388301967
What?

Twin bolt is easily dealt with if you use 1 or 2 defensive cooldowns in deeps stance.

You will have like 50% health left.

If the healers are so shitty that they cant deal maybe they shouldnt do savage.
>>
>>388302063
I don't know how a tank swapping in would die to Evilsphere, I usually don't CD myself even if I do pop Provoke a little early and take like 15k. It's nothing.

I've seen it hit for 50k without mitigations. Paranormal Sight is the one that usually hits for 15-20k.

It isn't that bad. The hardest part is finding a group dedicated enough to progress on it, since most will leave after regular Exdeath wipes or Grand Cross Delta mess-ups
>>
>>388302287
I dont know man awareness + raw intuition is only good when theres a lot of adds and you cant be sure you can face them all correctly.

For single target boss fights like O1,O2 and O4 raw intuition works perfectly fine on its own if you dont throw it out right before mechanics that force you to walk.

I can actually weave Shiten + Seigan in between GCD.

The game desperately needs further mechanics in fights to keep things interesting IMO

There are no tanks because late game tanking is pointing the boss a certain way, moving sideways from a cone AOE, and using a cooldown for tankbusters 99% of the time. Maybe a tank swap to justify taking two, or one or two shitty adds.

I hate to go to WoW for inspiration but at least there was interrupting to do in that game and cc in general was more significant.

BLM has sleep, many classes have some kind of binds - why are there no fights where you have to stop packs of adds reaching a boss, making these skills necessary? Or adds in dungeons with deadly casts that need to be interrupted/stunned?

How about duo boss fights, with two giant bosses so one tank isn't just DPS/add bitch until X stacks then switch?

Or just add more AOE markers and Quick time events to mash a button through I guess

do you have armory bonus, because it should be giving you almost an entire level each run

Though its a pretty particular example, i really liked how they rewarded you a fuck ton of lb guage for silencing the iron giant in V3s
>>
>>388306698
All the things you described have already happened in various fights before. I have no earthly clue why Deltascape is made for brainlets. Well, I do.

Has anyone tired min ilvl sync for some of the older content? I think it could be pretty fun to do with some friends.

>>388305705
Shinten is a really special ogcd. It doesn't run on a long recast like all the other virgin ogcds and makes the gcd feel nonexistent whenever you have a bunch of it to weave
But I just like how a lot of SAM skills in general consume resource and have a short cd. Feels more like an action game and less like a skill tray mmo. The boost + cast time motions for iaijutsu is satisfying as fuck too. It's like being able to prep your big dick move with Reassemble/Barrage/Duality every time
>>
>>388306889
>>388306926
>it happened in one fight xdddd

So it should become a more regular practice. I've levelled up two tanks now, as well as 4 dos and 2 healers. I literally never play Damage roles in any other game, but they're so superior design wise in ffxiv it's not even funny.
>>
>>388306698
I've always wondered why there are two tanks when the other tank's job is just to provide sub-bar DPS
>>
>>388307146
Are you fucking stupid? I said the one PARTICULAR example was cool. Which means i'd like it to happen more. Fucking faggot.

>>388307138
Yeah Kaiten animation is pretty fuckin baller.

>>388306572
Too many things to list. DPS output isn't one of them though.
>>
>>388306698
It takes more effort to deal an entire health bar worth of damage to something instead of just casting your crowd control on them. Kugane Castle has allahu akbar adds that you have to prioritize before they blow the room up

Also this might be to the dismay of professional dance groups but after doing endgame shit (extreme, savage) for 6 weeks I just wish the game was a little less of a rigid dance. In almost every fucking fight you just all stack in a miserable pile behind the boss's ass and flail at it, while in the more lenient content there's a shitton of chaos ensuing everywhere because people are scattered all over. High end content are more punishing but every fight plays out the exact same way because if you don't do so you're fucking dead. I've been running Susan normal for Second Chance points and it actually feels a hell a lot more fun than extreme because the latter is cramped and claustrophobic as all shit. Same goes for deltascape too. Not that I had any trouble with handling mechanics, I just really hate snuggling in the same tiny safe zones every single time.
I'd love it if the game had fights that are an unrelenting barrage of mechanics that DON'T oneshot you and force the party into one singular strategy. I hope Shinryu EX delivers on this since the normal version was on the right tracks.

Sounds like V3/4S. And Binding/Second/Final Coil. And most EX Primals actually.

Final Coil was also for brainlets don't kid yourself.

Nothing the class has meshes well with itself.

When you look at RDM, every skill (bar that Tri-Bind rip off) works towards the Jobs overall goal (build mana gauges.) All the GCD's work towards getting to 80-80 mana, then rushing in, doing a big combo and getting back out with a big ender, then building the mana up again.

Summoner doesn't have anything like that. It's a DoT class that also deals with a Pet, but it's Pet management is incredibly limited because it's also a burst role that spends stacks to enter trance phases. On top of that it's also an actual Summoning class that summons actual primals to help them fight for a time.

There's three or four different jobs all mashed into one "Summoner" toolkit and nothing flows. This wasn't as much of a problem with Heavensward because they had more DoT's, the Pet only worked to extend the DoT's, Summoning didn't exist and the burst phase only happened because of your DoT management. You also applied buffed/extended DoT's DURING your burst phase in Heavensward so it all flowed really well. With Stormblood, we lost two DoTs, another (Shadow Flare) was gutted to the point of uselessness, we cant buff or extend our DoTs anymore (making them less important in our Burst Phase) and they don't make the slightest bit of difference to our Summoning phase.

What they really need to do is separate the Summoner's skills between at least two different jobs: The Alchemist/Chemist who gets the 3.0 Summoner skillset with a renamed Dreadwyrm and no Pet to manage. And an actual Summoner role who gets the Pet which can be used to Summon a Primal similar to how 4.0 works.

As it stands, Summoner is clunky, unfun and clashes with itself. Which is a shame because the 3.X Summoner was perfect.

Fucking this, I switched to blm because of how unfun summoner feels right now.

god the story of ARR is SO FUCKING BORING

please tell me when the good stuff starts and if i can just skip every text prompt in the main quest to get to it and still understand what's going on.
>>
>>388309113
Story gets better after titan but the best story content is towards ARR's end and HW takes over
>>
Where do i get 800k xp fast?
>>
>>388309167
This except the story nosedives after 2.0 until 2.4.

The side story's you unlock fare better. Binding Coil, Crystal Tower, Hildibrand and Postmoogle are all fine stories. You'll be lucky to find people to run Coil and Crystal Tower with these days.
>>
>>388309086
Why farm it, I already cleared before echo came out?

Coil is easy to do if you just want the story. Just say you're bonus and people will flock to you. Crystal tower saga yeah that one will take awhile

3S was unrelenting, I had fun with it and the randomness in the latter half but there's still a pretty a clear cut approach to everything.
There's just an odd lack of chaos and unpredictability in many of the high end contents. Everything is a script and it makes the game less fun to me (if not easier, after all it's just a script that you recite from memory). Just recount how much your consecutive attempts of any ARR primal differ from one another.
>>
>>388309847

When was the last time a fight was unscripted? I can only think of King Mog EX, and everyone hated it.

That's optimum. Earliest infuriate for the trait, and path early for higher crit chance on the last fell cleaves.
