Dealing damage to heal

how badly would that fuck up duty finder

>>165113616

xDdancurrr

>>165113616
whms would cry even more about having to dps

I just started playing and I'm trying to get a grip on what I need to level in order to eventually main a Ninja. Should I be getting Pugilist to 42 and Lancer to 34 for the cross-class skills before playing Ninja?

Free to play yet?

There are top bards in JP servers who don't do any of this in-game dating stuff, and still pull higher numbers.

DANCER IS CONFIRMED?

IS IT....TIME TO DROP PUGILIST?

>>165114161
Sure thing

>>165114117
no that's gay

>>165114117
34 lancer yes, mantra is hardly required, you only need up to second wind for pug crossclasses.

>>165113616

It wouldn't because it won't happen. You just can't have a job that breaks the rigid interpretation of the Holy Trinity that badly in this game.

The current crop of tanks and healers are still dealing significant amounts of damage and pushing groups through DPS checks their DPS players alone couldn't manage, which in turns means content is being cleared faster than originally intended, and it also means substandard DPS are getting clears they probably shouldn't.

I fully expect tank dps to suffer a mild dropoff in the next expansion. Not a huge one mind you, but it won't scale up quite as much as the DPS jobs. The damage spread between a good WAR and an average MNK will probably widen by about 20% or so.

Healers will probably get boned DPS wise even more somehow, likely by nerfing their accuracy even further. I've also gathered a few hints from various sources and interviews that the intent is to keep healers a bit busier doing actual fucking healing, so they won't have time to miss the DPS anyway.

>>165114168

Lancer to 34 is pretty important but don't bother with pugilist, you'll get everything you really need just by getting it to the 15 you need to become a ninja in the first place.

Cross classed mantra is next to useless.

>>165114525

When will the SAMs realise their precious job is getting shafted AGAIN?

The only way, LITERAL only way samurai would come out in stormblood is if they released 3 jobs in stormblood after they already said heavensward would be the last time they did that

Honestly, my HONEST AUTISTIC analysis on this issue is that Stormblood will indeeed have 3 jobs, Red Mage, Blue Mage, and Samurai

However. Blue Mage isn't an ACTUAL disciple of war class, and is basically the "Fisher" of the battle class. You know how Fisher is basically a mini-game? Blue Mage will be a mini-game too. Yoshida wants that.

So Blue Mage isn't something that can join your raid party, but is something you can do for fun on the side.

But they'll still advertise it as a NEW JOB COMING TO STORMBLODODD11!1!!1 and the normies will eat it up

Meanwhile I keep all my grown man flirting in the thread and enjoy a drama free atmosphere in game. Stay smol, shortmen.

>>165114664
Will people in leveling dungeons expect me to have my optimal cross class skills or should I just make sure I get what I need before trying endgame content? I'm almost level 15 on PUG and was planning to switch to Rogue (RGE? ROG?)

*** Team would like to work on Blue Mage (Yoshi-P is very interested in the job).

*** Team would need to figure out what role(s) it would fulfill in this iteration of Final Fantasy.

*** Team would need to figure out how to make it work in party play.

NY: This question is the most difficult out of all of the questions you’ve asked!
We’ve received lots of feedback from around the world with regard to new jobs. Red mage and samurai are particularly popular requests. With a job that is simply a support role, raising its effectiveness would force the job to become mandatory in a party. On the other hand, if the support power was weakened, it would be difficult to contribute to the party. Therefore, that type of job is very difficult to balance.
If we were to ever implement a red mage job, I don’t think it would simply be a support role. In terms of the blue mage, I think it may be great to make it a special job geared specifically toward solo play, almost like a unique type of playable content in and of itself. In any case, I am not able to definitively reply about the next new job at this time, but regardless of what job we do implement, I promise you that players will be surprised and enjoy playing it!
Never doubt my autism, faggot. I have every single Naoki Yoshida interview memorized for the past 5 years.

Yeah, so read your quotation, faggot, and then read your previous post. Don't turn maybes into absolutes. It "may be great to make it a special job geared specifically toward solo play" doesn't mean it'll actually happen because that doesn't work in this game. You won't get Blue Mage you'll get Who's That Monster in log format again. Because Blue Mage is something that can function in this game as long as they repurpose job quests to be you acquiring monster abilities for that job in particular and get rid of half the flavourful nonsense NPCs that don't do anything for the first three job quests.

Here's what you're actually getting

STORMBLOOD
New jobs:

*Red Mage
*Samurai
*Blue Mage <-- Mini-game. Joke job. Into the trash on release

EXPANSION 2019 - Garlean Expansion
*Gunblade job <--- The garlean expansion is the only time in this entire game's lifespan wherein a gunblade job could possibly be introduced. This is the expansion that'll add it. It'll probably be a tank job so don't get excited for dps. You have machinist for dps.

*??? (dancer please yoshi p)
The reason Yoshi P's playing coy about confirming or denying samurai in stormblood and letting the blue mages and samurais argue is so he can confirm THEY ARE BOTH COMING!!!! and win free favors from everyone until the blue mages realize they were shafted and won't actually be able to join raids

A gunblade job is coming, friend.

You didn't get the Memo when Cid started rocking the gunblade in the story cutscenes? The story ALWAYS advertises jobs that will eventually become useable by the player

It was the case for Ninja (that thancred rogue scene)

it was the case for Machinist (musketeer shilling dating back to 1.0)

it was the case for Red Mage (soul sacrifice - warrior of darkness - i'm a red mage now brother!!!)

it is the case for Gunblade.


I expect it to be a tanking job with a strong focus on ranged combat. Which is weird because ranged tanks don't usually work in MMOs. Will probably have the ability to shoot through the boss and hit mobs behind it or some freaky shit like that. That'd be pretty cool, actually.

I realize I should keep the stuff that can be used on other classes but should I be keeping that gear that I have multiples of? What about if it's spirit bound (I'm not really sure what this is but believe it has something to do with materia). It's not like it sells for much but I don't really like clutter and storing it in the bank (I forget what this is actually called in game), removed the spirit bound status.

>Yoshi knows this, he's said this multiple times

Shut the fuck up already. The Machinist example is that you have VERY few games where Machinist has ever been a gunner, and the MCH you got in XIV was inspired by 12's, whereas in 4 the equivalent used hammers and in 6 the equivalent character used a spear. No one wanted a SMN that just had its pet be an auto attack bot but that's what happened. Yes, people can and will adapt to the fact they will get abilities from quests, because that is what they'll get. You saw a maybe and decided to spout absolutes from it.

I mean, I'm okay with a Gunblade job and all, but it just seems so impractical when there's already a machinist job. How would a ranged tank even work? Kiting mechanics?

If you have multiples and one has full spiritbond, you can convert it into materia for your weapons. If not, just sell one of the duplicates. Anything is better than nothing.

Depends which gunblade they're going forth

The Final Fantasy 8 gunblades couldn't actually shoot bullets and their triggers were DPS enhancers

the final fantasy 13 gunblades could shoot bullets

So it depends which gunblade we're getting.

But assuming it's like Cid's and shoots bullets, we're probably looking at some god-tier kiting possibilities here.

>>165117946
Okay thanks. I really like how in game features are unlocked one by one through quests rather than just shoving it all in your face at once. Quite unique, I've never seen that in another MMO.

>Remember when YoshiP said we were getting Ramuh-egi and Leviathan-egi?
No, not really. Source it please.
We are getting egi glamours now that the system is in place, though. Plus, adding more egi is a pretty stupid idea from a gameplay perspective, just like adding blue mage.
>>165117915
He clearly doesn't want to deliver a blue mage that people won't like or we would already have it.
It ain't happening, kid and I can tell you for sure that he won't add 2 identical jobs in a single expansion.


blue mage won't happen
call your suicide prevention hotline

BLU, SAM, and DNC will all be confirmed at fanfest.

Please look forward to it.

>>165118683
Well then what is it? He definitely wont add two DPS classes at once with nothing else. Also once again you are assuming what 'the people' want for BLU mage without realizing that the vast majority of people playing XIV probably didn't even play a FF with a BLU in it because XI nerds sure as fuck arent playing XIV.

>>165118626
Autistic post. Move to balmung.

I could actually see some neat rotation possibilities for Gunblade tank job

possible rotation

>Swing - 100 potency
>>Load - Loads a bullet
>>Stab - 200 potency
>>>Thrust - 250 potency
>>>Armshot -200 potency + reduce target STR by 10% for the next physical attack only
>>>Legshot - 200 potency + stun

neat trix

>>165118870
He may actually.
With PotD, they dont have to worry too terribly much about quuees.

>>165118839
nah, itll be SAM, no BLU. sorry anon. there's no real way to implement BLU and have it even resemble BLU at all.

>>165118947
Yeah because we all know POTD is the only content in the game people queue for and represents the endgame composition.

>>165118870
>He definitely wont add two DPS classes at once with nothing else.
But he will.
Samurai DPS, please look forward to it Mr.Sam Reimi.
>Also once again you are assuming what 'the people' want for BLU mage without realizing that the vast majority of people playing XIV probably didn't even play a FF with a BLU in it because XI nerds sure as fuck arent playing XIV.
The only people that actually give ask for blue mage are for sure XI players that still desperately want "more customization" to this game.

Fuck every BLUtard cause it ain't happening.

sin must be balanced with suffering

>>165119039
Almost nobody is asking for BLU. Its just that all hints are pointing towards it now. Unless Yoshi is just baiting with fake hints unlike in Heavensward, its BLU. I dont want BLU, but I think thats what they were planning.

>>165119014
Most people will just rush to 70 on their main instead of risking and leveling a job they are unfamiliar with.

That being said, adding a tank would change nothing.
DRK didn't make people play tanks more.

>>165119210
Nothing is pointing towards BLU.
People figured out the Sam Reimi pun and Yoshi shit the bed when he was asked about it in the interview.

I just meant that bad queues filled with DPS for regular dungeons would be alleviated due to PotD.
idk why you're so hostile

i just came back to the game

are they going to lower the need for the 7 gears to get the shire weapon in 3.5?

>>165119602
You can get one without any gears, just clear A10S and roll on a tomestone. You just need to hit i250 to pug it reliably through Raid Finder, though you can clear it at earlier ilvls through PF

>>165117317
Could try Palace of the Dead and trading in potsherds for expensive materia. 100k a piece.

>>165119602
If not 3.5 then definitely on 3.55

>>165119602
>lower the need
You mean remove the cap on loot? Spam those normals boy ;)

All you need to implement Blue Mage is an arsenal of enemy abilities that form a cohesive skillset. weapon can be anything they want it to be, role can be anything they need it to be. i'm not even a Blue Mage enthusiast, I'm just tired of your stupidity.

>>165119039
Blue Mage =/= Customization

Blue Mage doesn't need customization bullshit to be Blue Mage. End this meme.

1/1, arcanist, aaa garbage

I'm around the Quarrymill aetheryte, Balmung

>>165119995
Yes? You just need to hit i250 to Raid Find, you can clear even at i240-i245

>>165120071
If he's complaining about hitting i250, he probably won't be doing Zurvan since it'll likely need i250 for Extreme

>>165119995
Well, time to turn mistakes into miracles my friend.

Crafted, Prototype Alexandrian, and Shire gear can put you past the i250 mark.

>i came back literally 4 hours ago from a year long break

Get out.

>this game is clearly a mistake as evidence by the people in this thread
Pretty unnecessary there duder. People like you are why people end up not giving out answers to questions in generals.

>>165120454
If you're below 50 just start on a new server. You'll have to pay to get into balm or gilgamesh but excal and levi are good substitutes.

>>165114710
>The only way, LITERAL only way samurai would come out in stormblood is if they released 3 jobs in stormblood after they already said heavensward would be the last time they did that

>>165120978
You guys keep saying the silliest things without proof. He never said that in such an objective fashion. Some people say this, other people say he just referred to NIN midway, or that it was difficult to do three.

>>165120493
Kinna and Sophic weapons are i255. Shire gear is i260. Crafted is i250. Prototype Alexandrian is i250. Are you going to tell me that it is very difficult to get a character to i250, anon?

so Scrip tomestones will be unlimited in 3.5 right?

Depending on your job, Shire can be pretty good. Can't say what pieces to get specifically because some are very bad. At any rate yeah you want to do Alexander and try to get your stuff. 3.5 will remove the loot restriction on the floors to make it faster but this coming week you have to deal with the lockout once more. If you're i235 or higher I'm fairly sure you can do Sophia EX for an i255 weapon, which will be a decent weapon until then and help you get your ilvl up.

You can hit the mark for Sophia this week with just getting Lore pieces and two Alexandrian Accessories I think (getting a Bolt from each of the first two floors of Creator).

Should I just take a break until 4.0? Or is there some way I could possibly spice things up during 3.5?

You would have bitched about healer if they had picked tank instead, and were not gonna get healer/tank. BLU is going to be tank and in 5.0 it will be DNC healer and SAM DPS.

Okay okay, listen to me.

We're getting all three in 4.0. FFXV did so well they finally funneled more money back into this game.

SAM - Healer
DNC - Tank
BLU - Tank

Healers are not as boring as Tanks. Tank you generally just 1, 2, 3 spam and pop defense cooldowns while occasionally dodging or swapping with someone else so they can 1, 2, 3. Tank is super fucking repetitive compared to DPS and Healer. Tank isn't even all that good in PVP, It's generally just a distraction people ignore in fights. Without something new it will get stale much faster than the other 2 roles.

Personally i think the best way to fix this issue without making new jobs every expansion is to release a role change mechanic that lets PLD spec healer, Warrior spec DPS, Monk spec Tank, White Make spec tank, Bard spec healer and so on. This would create so much extra players could spice up their stale role with something new.

They will never add dancer to this game because it would require too much work as far as character animation is concerned

plus male dancers would be ridiculed

If it makes you feel any better, I'm trying out a stupid face paint look because I think it looks cool.

What would you do if you had your own submissive collared c@slut that lived only to service you, xivg?

Male dancers get all the chicks man. Female dancers are usually just slutty backup dancers with big asses twerking.

Is there any lvl 50 dungeon you can solo in a reasonable amount of time or nah?

I would play the fuck out of an ostenatious male Au Ra dancer and I would love every second of it.

Need tanks for raid finder on aether. Sophia extreme. Please assist.

>>165126531

It's the only way to create a more varied game without worrying about whether or not something like Dark Knight which has been a DPS in everything aside from FFXIV is a Tank or DPS. There's so many whiners complaining Samurai is gonna be a Tank which it totally fucking is going to be a Tank because their "Is it a tank or a DPS?" is based on whether it wears armor or leather/cloth and Samurai wears armor.

Dancer is already in the game. We have a dozen emotes that let you dance, you don't need a job for it.

>>165127105
Dragoon isn't a tank, is it? We don't need a new tank nor do we need a new healer in 4.0. 2 DPS is fine, because the hard truth of the matter is short-term queue bumps don't matter. A new tank isn't going to create a meaningful number of new tank players, nor is a new healer going to create a meaningful number of new healer players.

It's fucking impossible to find a vacant apartment on balmunh

maybe you could buy it off someone using pf..

>>165127535
You can always go to a medium sized server where there are plenty of apartments and houses to buy, along with a decent, non-RP based, community.

Is there really only one apt building per ward?

>>165127265
>A new tank isn't going to create a meaningful number of new tank players

That's literally not true because there are a lot of new tank players with Dark Knight.

If you don't think people would play Samurai regardless of it being a tank just because it uses a katana, you're really underestimating the userbase.

>>165127712
there's two per ward, one in the main division and one in the subdivision

if there's no vacancies there will be a check mark next to the apartment symbol on the map, so just go through all 72 ward/subdivs and see if you can find one without it

>>165127830
I'm not even sure how to access the subdivisions desu

Of course.

When does Balmung open? New player here, I hear it's the mega server of this game.
