however long it takes you to get to the relevant levels in eureka the first time around
forest laurel
aetheryte in foundation

much faster subsequent times
white bronze
Lok anytips for eureka? Im actually been wanting to try it but it seems daunting
slate arrow
do the challenge log first, tag along for FATE/Notorious Monster trains, don't die
the latter is real important since once you get past Elemental level 10 or so you can de-level due to losing EXP

is there any community-guide how to get into end-game-content of shadowbringer? im ilvl 483 and tryin to get into high end dutys, but partyfinder isnt rly helpful (as its always HAVE MACROS, dude what do i need macros for im freakin paladin...) and dutyfinder doesnt work at all

entirely depends on the server
generally you should watch a guide for savage since this late into the tier people are real strict
also light rampant parties are traps just a FYI (you'll see when you get to E8S)

then make your own PF and wait

The macros for savage is primarily for picking what your position is for various mechanics

You should do the quest line in the waking sabds that starts with "a Recurring problem" so you don't get locked in story

dusky echo
normal isnt a term you'd apply to people who spend months perfecting a digital catgirl's pantsuit
faint flare
Then dps while healing
dusky echo
yeah ~70-80% of your spellcasting should be damage
while using cooldowns and blood lily to heal
dps are just bigger numbers
SAM/BLM
quasi pulsar
i havent worked out the blood lily thing as yet, though i've readf about it and seen guides
dusky echo
and NIN are the big things
quasi pulsar
should I have that worked out by now?
faint flare
Yes...do the blue quest in waking sands named "a Recurring problem" so you dont get locked
Also consider doing the crystal tower 24man quest line as thats mandatory to do next patch
Also unlocks alliance raid roulette for some very nice xp daily
quasi pulsar
what does "dont get locked" mean?
faint flare
If you dont do the Reccurenig problem line
You'll get blocked in the story
And unable to progress
Until you do it

Did anyone ever got an experience about how to get your ffxiv account which got suspended into normal state, after you changed device. The problem - registered email has been lost in the past and there is no way for me to remember it nor recover it. Does it mean that this acc is gone forever or SE support can help recovering/changing an email with enough proof that the acc is mine?
slate arrow
contact SE support and follow their instructions
not much we can do if you lost your login details
leaden ginkgo
The problem is - everything but the email itself at the disposal but the account got auto locked out since i have changed device from rubbish pc to a better one, and support can't seem to be reached out at all. I sent several tickets throughout the course of a bit, but fear that they will reply to me on the date when autorenewal supposed to happen, so figured maybe someone else had likewise experience with this

How do I reach floor 50 in PoTD if no one is queueing for 41-50 matchmaking?

<pos> puts the coordinates of where you currently are in chat

I suggest find players that are willing to do floor 1-50 in one go.

The reason is because it is a numbered FF game, so that means lots of story.

faint flare

leaden ginkgo
What do you guys think about this and which one is right/correct?
- Healers should focus on healing and then dpsing.
A) Example : Being in a big pull of groups of enemies, healer must focus on healing the tank to keep them alive and not start dpsing each mob should the tank's hp goes down dramatically fast.
B) Healer should dps the mobs regardless and ignore for most of the time the tank's health because tank can use shields.
Which one is true or right by your logic?
raw solstice
it does, but only starting at 52
faint flare
They get them at 52
raw solstice
you don't get bonus potency for positionals, but get a resource called kenki from landing positionals
crimson wind
B makes no sense
faint flare
Healers have plenty of resources to DPS while healing
leaden ginkgo
Against a boss I find it normal and to be expected, but I was asking about groups of enemies.
faint flare
Even on groups
crimson wind
Not healing means they die
faint flare
You have plenty of healing cooldowns
crimson wind
Imo, healing is a side thought
faint flare
And the tank should also be using defensive cooldowns to mitigate damage so healers can do more damage
raw solstice
it's not really a black and white sort of thing, on both bosses and on trash. Tanks have cds, healers have cds. You don't need to spam heal or baby them in either situation
faint flare
Dead shit does no damage
crimson wind
But if tank dies, that's partially your fault
leaden ginkgo
^
crimson wind
partially
raw solstice
yeah, like, keeping the tank alive is still top priority. But you don't have to cater to them a whole lot to keep them up
especially if they're doing their job and using mitigation
faint flare
Which enough practice, you can somewhat see how much damage the tank takes each gcd/tick
clear pier
crimson wind
Tanks can be practically invincible with a good healer and that healer can still dps
faint flare
Which helps judge when you need to heal
crimson wind
So long as tank pops cds
raw solstice
there's generally more dps than there are tanks/healers. But you can unlock and level all jobs on the same character, so you can always change your mind later on
crimson wind
Also if you ever want to tank, absolutely never pop multiple CDs at a time
faint flare
Good players are needed more
crimson wind
Its a cardinal sin.
raw solstice
it's not really a cardinal sin, no
clear pier
Should I be a trauma or arcanist
raw solstice
there are cases where you need to stack mitigation
crimson wind
yeah just don't do it tho
leaden ginkgo
Also, another question, since the spells for healers like AST are not changing automatically on their own, and you are using custom/controller hotbars to have space for your advanced skills, are you guys using another slot for low dungeon runs and keep your lower skills there?
crimson wind
In dungeons
raw solstice
but overall you're better off spreading them out for overall coverage
crimson wind
Like half of GNBs kit is CDs
raw solstice
the spells that get replaced get automatically replaced via traits
so you don't really have to have like, low level hotbars or anything
leaden ginkgo
Yeah but spells like Benefic don't change.
clear pier
Should I be a thaumturge or arcanist?
leaden ginkgo
Like, I have Benefic II, going to a lower dung, I have to replace it with again with Benefic.
raw solstice
yeah, and you don't just ignore benefic once you get benefic 2
crimson wind
Man you want all of your skills on your hotbar
faint flare
Arcanist can go into a healer
raw solstice
benefic 2 is not just a straight upgrade to benefic 1
crimson wind
Benefic I is nice if you want to top of without wasting MP
agile laurel
erm. well. actually
leaden ginkgo
hmm
agile laurel
it's insanely bad practice to learn on benefic I
crimson wind
but tank doesn't need to be topped
raw solstice
I wouldn't say insanely bad practice, at all
agile laurel
as with cure I and physick
raw solstice
if it's WHM I'd agree with you more
agile laurel
but yes, that is true
raw solstice
but for AST there's a bit more justification for benefic 1
faint flare
One way or other
leaden ginkgo
I REALLY want to keep playing my AST role, I liked tanking and healing in previous games, simple and nice to do so, but in this game, even with a controller, it's a nightmare sometimes and I am panicking.
faint flare
Even on controller its fine
crimson wind
Like, you might think toggling tank stance isn't important at all...and then you start raiding.
agile laurel
ast compared to sch and whm isn't as much one you lean back and ride along with
leaden ginkgo
Yeah, I always hate the hard modes, yet, I am always picking to play the hardest and most brainfest ones. lmao
crimson wind
hard modes aren't raids
raw solstice
@clear pier just to kinda go into it a bit more fully:
- arcanist: later branches into the dps job summoner, or the healer job scholar. More of a DoT/oGCD-based class/job. Bit more freedom of movement with some instant cast stuff
- thaumaturge: later becomes the job black mage. More of a focus on strong GCDs instead of DoTs/oGCDs. Bit less mobility, especially early on--later levels you get increasingly more options for movement, but earlier on you have a bit more of a turret type of gameplay, kill things before they kill you, that sort of thing
leaden ginkgo
They told me Paladin is good starting class to play, better than Warrior and Dark Knight, and easier, nope, I was the idiot who went Marauder/Warrior and Dark Knight. lmao
They told me White Mage is easier to play for heals, nope, I wanted Astrologian.
wraith jay
I'm trying to apply for a promotion for the next rank of my grand company but it says I need to finish rank 1 of my hunting log. Is this all II needed to do or do I need to do something else to get the promotion?
raw solstice
pick whichever sounds a bit more interesting to you, and if you end up not liking it so much, you can change to a different class before too long
crimson wind
Tanking is extremely simple
wraith jay
ok
crimson wind
Like, tanking is simpler than melee
faint flare
not your class hunting log
leaden ginkgo
I've noticed it, but I have to say, tanking is more serious in this game than other games.
crimson wind
From what I've heard, once tank stances got reworked
leaden ginkgo
I think Healer are having it the hardest, then the tanks, then the dps.
crimson wind
Tanking has been very simple
leaden ginkgo
Hmm
teal isle
I think the thing w tank is the fuck ups are v visible
If you make a mistake people know
crimson wind
I didn't play before SHB but I can imagine the horror of playing tank
leaden ginkgo
Yeah, and there's a big pressure.
teal isle
Big pressure to know all the details of a dungeon
crimson wind
Yeah but it's not hard to not make those mistakes
raw solstice
tanking wasn't especially difficult or anything before
faint flare
Tanks prior was stance dancing between dps stance and tank stance
leaden ginkgo
Sorry, guys, I am making this thread a discussion again.
raw solstice
it just was slightly less simple
faint flare
It wasn't hard especially if DPS had brains to use their aggro tools
crimson wind
If you're in a dungeon as a tank and you aren't popping CDs
If you pop cds, your death isn't your fault
no pressure there
leaden ginkgo
Cooldowns as in, shields?
faint flare
Like rampart

leaden ginkgo
Okay, so basically the shields, reprisal, blackest night, rampart
faint flare
Like this
crimson wind
And if you're having aggro issues, just provoke
So there isn't much pressure to tanking if you ask me
leaden ginkgo
Yeah, that's what I am always doing, though, so far never had an aggro issue thanks to my past experience and positioning from other games.
static yacht
Do note
faint flare
Dont forget arms length as a defensive cooldown
static yacht
That even IF you are popping cooldowns
faint flare
The slow is very handy
leaden ginkgo
Oh ....I took that out of my hotbars. lol
static yacht
You should also be popping your innate tank mitigation
teal isle
Arm’s length is underrated for sure
faint flare
Dont remove skills
static yacht
Rampart is useless without blackest night
faint flare
Even the knockback immunity on arms length is the reason you keep it on
static yacht
And if you ONLY use rampart and not blackest night you are doing something wrong
little swift
That's not true takkun
crimson wind
arms length isn't underrated, people just don't read tooltips
static yacht
In dungeons it is, considering
faint flare
Tanks just get the added benefit that it also slows shit that hits you
teal isle
Arm’s length can also save your ass in last man standing situations lmao
static yacht
You should be casting that shit on cooldown
leaden ginkgo
I am trying to not use all of the shields on me on a getgo, when pulling groups, because I am trying to be smart between timers on cds and to make the healer's life easier.
little swift
Other tanks dont have access to tbn
static yacht
Yeah but they have equivilances
little swift
You can't tell them theyre wrong for not using it
faint flare
Cycling cooldowns is good yes
static yacht
Ie: nascent, heart of stone, etc.
Typically the tank specific cooldown has a super low CD
30 at most compared to rampart's 90
leaden ginkgo
But sometimes, especially when I don't have a shield on and BN is on cd, when I see a yellow/orange line on the ground from the groups of enemies I either trying to stun the one doing it or moving a bit like one step away to avoid this because it would kill me, especially with half hp, and then I have some - not all - some of the helaers or dps complaining to me that I move a lot.
I am lost sometimes on what to do. lol
leaden ginkgo
I do and they complain.
raw solstice
it's still the correct thing to do, to dodge AoEs
little swift
You should be avoiding avoidable damage
leaden ginkgo
They be like "dude, i can't heal you if you move"
static yacht
They are standing too far away and bad
faint flare
Those are idiots
static yacht
Ignore them
little swift
They only cant heal you if you leave line of sight
They can target you via party list
raw solstice
the big point is like, try to move back into position after you dodge, try to not LoS your healer behind anything, etc
faint flare
There is no reason to take avoidable damage in trash pulls
raw solstice
past that, dodging AoEs is the correct way to do things
you can't really be moving "too much"
leaden ginkgo
Then, I am doing it right.
faint flare
If they throw down their healer bubble like asylum etc, there's enough room typically to dodgr aoes whole being inside
leaden ginkgo
Because, I am not like running to the other side of the map.
I am just sidestepping.

If someone is too far away to heal, I will use rescue on their ass so I can heal them
pliant cosmos
I know, but it's out of spite
leaden ginkgo
So, if I find another group of healer and dps shit talking to me, I should just ignore, I assume?
sage plaza
if it's nonsense, ignore
pliant cosmos
Medica 2 has less range than rescue iirc
faint flare
Most pugs dont know how to.press buttons
So
Ignore them unless they have hard proof
And solid reasoning
leaden ginkgo
Another problem I've encountered with, which, I've seen in f2p games a lot in the past, is when the DPS somehow feels like a protagonist in a 2000s anime, and goes all the way in to pull mobs while the tank is already busy with a pool of enemies and trying to keep the healer safe, then they die, and then they blame the tank for not going there to pull them.
How do you deal with this?
^ legit question.
pliant cosmos
Tell them to stop that
leaden ginkgo
I did and they kicked me before last boss.
sage plaza
pick up the additional adds
pliant cosmos
Noone should be pulling except for tank
Unless you are kiting, but that's different
little swift
If its an accident I grab it
sage plaza
imagine unironically subscribing to you pull you tank mindset
little swift
I dont see anything wrong with it unless its beyonf my ability or the healers to handle
Communicate with your party
If you arent ok with them pulling for you tell them
sage plaza
it's an opportunity for you to flex your tank muscle
raw solstice
most people will understand if you say you're newer and aren't as comfortable with bigger pulls
sage plaza
embrace it
raw solstice
but yes, if people end up pulling extra, no need to be petty and do the "you pull you tank", pick up the mobs and ask them after to not do that
leaden ginkgo
If it's an accident I can tell and usually chiming in and holding more than I can chew, but I expect the healer to focus on heals and the dps to be safe behind them and dpsing happily, but most of the times it's just some of them, possibly older players or wannabe veteran players who are just going in with their dpsing, pulling and keep pulling, because they want to hurry it up, and bringing more problems than we can all deal with. lmao
pliant cosmos
Ye, if its accident just run to the tank and beg forgiveness later
sage plaza
i sometime pull an extra add or two in lower dungeons as a healer just to speed things along
if the tank pick them up, tank gets comm, if not, oh well i can heal through the adds
static yacht
^ ya if its like satasha
raw solstice
just do the best you can to handle things as they come
static yacht
You honestly dont even need a tank
leaden ginkgo
Rika, I swear, I did told them "don't do that again, please." and I got vote kicked before last boss. They were silent and just told me off about it, and when we reached last boss they waited and kicked me out.
raw solstice
and if you all get overwhelmed from someone being overzealous then it's easy to place the blame on them after
pliant cosmos
They were cocks
raw solstice
that's not really the norm
pliant cosmos
That's all there is to it

I think the reports are reverse handed in this game. Even If I have a right, they were like 3 vs 1, me, and the report states if it's false or not proof enough, they can even terminate my account.
So, I can't prove it either.
It's also been days, so..

Back in my days - LMAO - I only knew tanking for tanks, dpsing for dps, and healing for healers. Nowadays it's a mix of everything and so tactical.

Gonna sound super nooby but here it goes, I just started the Ishgardian Restoration and I'm trying to find Skybuilders' Yew Logs but I can't find them in East Shroud. I'm a level 20 botanist and could really use some help ;;
hazy flint
I’m an average crafter I’m not super good with scrips and master stuff but I have a lvl 70 botanist/miner/carpenter and I just want to make a small amount of money all the time I’m fine making small wins but I just don’t know what’s sort after lol

@hazy flint check your market board

if you're talking about grade 2
faint flare
Every mat for ishgard restoration is in diadem now (except for.1 normal mat)
static yacht
YMMV depending on what server you are on so no one can give you a hard answer on what is sought after
And even if something is sought after
That doesn't mean you will make good profit
Due to supply and demand and the nature of inelastic comodities
hazy flint
I just want to make a couple 10k here and there not 100ks etc lol

generally ishgard crafting recipe would be a place to look for mats that sell at a consistent rate

It's not going to be the same for every server period.

It’s just been a while since I’ve done this. Kind of bummed with how much they’ve made crafting easier on the exp front

I asked in the protips and ui, but I need to ask here, too, in case someone already knows...
Any macro for AST to make my life a bit easier?
Or that's impossible and I should forget about it?
Uh...for controller.
remote lintel
why would you need a macro
little swift
you could consider play macros agios
leaden ginkgo
Hmm, I thought about it, and I was wondering if there is a way to tag a skill with another in one button.
dense pier
Got into an awful prae with shitheads that are letting this guy leech doing nothing
faint flare
Blacklist them
little swift
ones that will play a card to a party member specifically on a list
dense pier
i am not getting context menus
faint flare
Contact > blacklist
little swift
its under social > contact list > blacklist/report
remote lintel
what you mean tag a skill
little swift
you can also consider the earthly star/collective unconscious ground target macros
leaden ginkgo
Like, having two or three skills together and execute them with one button, not necessarily at the same time but by pressing that one button a couple of times, saving more space in the hotbar.
little swift
that place them onto a target
twilit arch
blacklist doesn't stop you from being put into a group with others
remote lintel
@dense pier if you're currently in the dungeon you can right click their names in chat
twilit arch
it just prevents them from trading/sending tells/joining your/their party finder
twilit arch
and you need to be out of the dungeon to access the contact menu
dense pier
That's fucked
faint flare
@leaden ginkgo macroing skills together is a.major no no
twilit arch
if they made it so that you couldn't randomly get people on your blacklist, it would be a huge pain
remote lintel
you can't make something like that anyway
leaden ginkgo
That's what I read and I can understand the reasoning behind this.
Was just still wondering if anyone already found a loophole or something but I guess it's not right or possible.
I am still fresh to this game.
leaden ginkgo
Hmm
faint flare
To you know, make.botting harder
leaden ginkgo
They told me Scholar has the MOST skills than any class.
I already got anxious as Marauder/Warrior and DRK. lol
faint flare
Like channy said, you can maybe do one that plays cards on specific party members bit thats basically adding like.8 more buttons
remote lintel
I prefer to just target the old fashioned way
little swift
he's ps4 though
remote lintel
I have a controller too
faint flare
16 if you count adding minor arcana
little swift
yeah its like a mild crutch
dense pier
That's pretty messed up. You can't blacklist people while in Prae/roullete. The option is completely deleted from the UI
little swift
i like the ground target options though
twilit arch
can't access contacts menu in instances in general
dense pier
So in other words, suck it up and don't read chat log
leaden ginkgo
Uh, I am actually playing on Steam, using PS4 controller. lol
Found a nice video on how to setup my controllr.
controller
very nice with button swapping between r2/l2
twilit arch
or leave 🤷♀️
faint flare
Controller is pretty comfy once you got it down
leaden ginkgo
It's just, it feels good as a tank and probably as dps, but as a healer it kind of feels tough sometimes, getting anxious about it.
I see my tank with low / half hp? I spam heals. lmao
agile laurel
i generally find diurnal aspected benefic and celestial opposition to be enough regens to break even on larger pulls, if the tank's pressing adequate buttons
remote lintel
^
agile laurel
but not like i'm not ready to benefic II now and again
remote lintel
celestial opp and collective uncon used together gives pretty powerful regens for the whole party
agile laurel
mhm
twilit arch
For healer in general, its basically a matter of getting comfortable with letting your tank dip low
leaden ginkgo
That's interesting.
twilit arch
and know how much your heals, heal for
agile laurel
I mean, scholar is that in a nutshell
no point healing them if you're preparing to let them eat their excog
twilit arch
like with dps or tanks, its a matter of practice and time
remote lintel
you also get celestial intersection at a higher level which gives a powerful shield in diurnal on a short cooldown
which makes life easier
leaden ginkgo
Not only comfortable
They gotta be able to prevent the tank from dying
agile laurel
unfortunately the practice of your level of play (smol pulls, larger pulls) is mostly defined by some other dude throwing themselves at mobs
agile laurel
yeah, there's being too confident, there's being too lazy, and there's understanding the context enough to turn off the brain and spam art of war
these things are quite close together
remote lintel
spam what
agile laurel
art of war, gravity, holy, whichever
leaden ginkgo
And then there is always that one dps that pulls whole rooms on me constantly
I want to at least be useful as a healer, I really like Astrologian, maybe not the card thing, but it really pays off good when I am holding the team alive, I love tanking, I like dps, but I am also crazy about the healing.
agile laurel
if you like astro but not the cards, have you tried white mage
whm is also somewhat functionally similar to astro
leaden ginkgo
Haven't tried it yet, but I am not as crazy about it for some reason.
Not feeling sold. lol;
remote lintel
white mage has the most powerful aoe of all the healers
you can flashbang your whole team while youre at it
leaden ginkgo
Are they the ones who have that holy explosion?
twilit arch
yes
leaden ginkgo
Hmm
remote lintel
yep
agile laurel
holy also has a stun, so considering diminishing returns it's also a clean 6 seconds worth of no healing required

Does the dancer gauge eventually get expanded beyond 2 steps?

zinc orbitBOT

That's good for me. I started look at SAM and when hell nah

Sam is a bit daunting at first due to a bar and a half being dropped on you at once

agile laurel
It's fairly simple given a while to study the effects
remote lintel
doing the optimized rotation isn't simple
twilit arch
for ARR combat tribes, yes
though there is technically a second "final" rank, called "Allied"
but that requires you to have all of the beast tribes of that particular expansion maxed out before you can do the allied quest
obsidian patio
@maiden dirge you’ll have to restart from the beginning, IIRC.
nimble holly
the weekly skybuilder title rankings have ended right?

ah so i have to do the other ones too
twilit arch
yes, the rankings for restoration is currently closed
another set of rankings will be opened sometime in 5.3

👍
twilit arch
I'm going to assume you're talking about the horn sound that happens whenever you call a mount
Ya
remote lintel
the sound that happens right after you do the cast?
faint flare
A horn, a whistle or some other noise plays whenever you summon a mount
remote lintel
^
faint flare
As you actually call it
twilit arch
depends on the mount, ya
icy quiver
Hey I just finished shadowbringers (5.0) quests and I am very confused about the lore
where can I ask without spoiler for other ppl?
faint flare
It varies from mount to mount
twilit arch
like basically whatever item you use to "learn" the mount dictates the sound
remote lintel
twilit arch
so chocobo whistle = whistle, elbst horn = horn
etc
the magitek type mounts have like a weird computer like sound when you summon them
icy quiver
thanks
leaden ginkgo
Uh, okay, last question, I think and I'll go out of your hair, guys. I am trying to compare and see skills between WHM and AST, I see WHM has like 28 skills while AST has like 40 skills. I need to ask of you, are any of their skills gonna get upgraded/changed as you level up/progress the class? I am a very simplistic person that likes everything close and simple to each other in skill bars, even with switching hotbars on controller it sometimes can confuse me and if it's on the heat of the moment I may screw it up badly. If WHM is easier and simpler than AST, any of those 28 skills going to change/upgrade automatically? Like how DRK does so when I go in lower dungs for dailies, my skills automatically getting back to first versions.
faint flare
Whm stone and aero upgrade as you level
remote lintel
ast has skills that get upgraded
little swift
yes you get traits that upgrade your damage spells
faint flare
Like astro malefic and combust
little swift
!trait stone mastery ii
zinc orbitBOT
Powered by XIVAPI
little swift
also you end up having a couple of skills you don't really use on WHM
like fluid aura and repose
faint flare
though repose is a role action now
little swift
true
leaden ginkgo
Uh...sorry I think I typed it wrong. I meant as an automatic version upgrade. Just like how DRK works with edge/flood of darkness.
remote lintel
yes
faint flare
Yeah
remote lintel
it's auto
faint flare
Stone and aero
leaden ginkgo
oh ok
faint flare
Auto upgrade
leaden ginkgo
Alright then
remote lintel
astrologian counts the upgraded skills as their own skills
faint flare
Like the stone mastery trait channy linked
remote lintel
so it looks like they have a bunch
leaden ginkgo
So, basically I have to worry about 26 skills on WHM and not 28, ok.
faint flare
Astro has that as well
faint flare
With malefix upgrading
And combust
Basically only the standard nuke and standard dot upgrades
For healers
Rest is seperate
leaden ginkgo
Okay, yeah that's nice. I just want when I go to a lower dungeon, somehow, to not have only the upgraded forms which are gonna be greyed out due to level sync.
And automatically it's gonna change them to earlier versions.
Thanks for clarifying.
I may give WHM a go.
Gonna become a paladin now wohoo

I’ve been told that my neo-ish gear is apparently holding me back, is the idealised / tomestone 480 gear really that much better than it, or was it just some toxic elitism
faint flare
Its slightly better
dense pier
Does queing for the highest-level dungeons give more exp than doing a roullete?
faint flare
Gear never holds you back
Highest level dungeons are better than roulettes after the Daily bonus
dense pier
Idk about that... every time I reach the level X4 or X5 in an expansion I start getting my butt whooped as a Tank when I'm still in my poetics gear from the previous expansion
twilit arch
x4/x5 is generally when you want to be replacing augmented poetics gear
faint flare
But at cap if you have the ilvl to enter. You're.good enough to clear
Provided you do mechanics and do your rotation
simple nymph
are hoh and potd both useless after 70?
lavish vortex
I want to start trying savage content... is Eden a good place to start? Or too advanced?
twilit arch
They're not useless per se, but doing dungeons is going to be 100% better, whether you're queueing normally or doing trust dungeons
potd's xp stops scaling at 60, and hoh stops scaling at 70 so its going to take longer to get to 80 but you can do them if you really wanted to
vagrant copper
@white sinew Can you clarify the question...? EU server time is EU server time. 🤷♂️

Setting up skills as a WHM, is medica just a heal and medica II heal+regen?
additional effect : regen, does that mean it's gonna cast regen after a heal for 15 secs?
Or I have to do something else to trigger the regen?

Do I really need the Repose?

Nope
leaden ginkgo
I know skills like Esuna, Swiftcast, Surecast, Lucid Dreaming are important though.
leaden ginkgo
Okay, trying to make my skill hotbars easy to understand so I won't be looking at them extensively in the middle of the fight and to put skills on right side which are gonna be healing, probably, and skills on the left side which are gonna be dps
but still thinking about how to do them all.
static yacht
are you PC or controller?
remote lintel
PC with controller
leaden ginkgo
PC, but using PS4 controller
remote lintel

realistically you only have 3 DPS skills as white mage
remote lintel
you get muscle memory Agios
faint flare
I personally set up with single targrt stuff on one side and aoe stuff on the other
leaden ginkgo
32 skill slots with swapping between, and 16 via double swap either r2+l2 or l2+r2, technically I can use 48 skills. But trying to minimize and make it easier.
leaden ginkgo
Interesting.
remote lintel
i can show you how i organized my skills on my xhb
leaden ginkgo
Please, do.
I think that would help me or at least give me an idea.
Because I think I am about to do a mistake. lol
remote lintel
it's for ast though
leaden ginkgo
Not to mention it might help me with ast too, oh nice!
leaden ginkgo
Thank you!
remote lintel
except celestial intersection lol
remote lintel
for my 2nd hotbar i tend to put buffs/debuffs and other things like that
leaden ginkgo
Wait to see the double swap behind it
lmao
That's my DRK setup
very easy and simple
I might, MIGHT, have to swap some skills for easier and more viable access though
for example, I don't think I like where Blackest Night is right now.
So, I might move it.
Towards the right.
remote lintel
ikr
leaden ginkgo
Hmm, maybe that's why I have a difficulty in my brain as a healer.
Maybe I'll keep dmg spells on right side as healer.
And healing on the left side.
remote lintel
you could do that
it takes some getting used to when you suddenly get a class with no combos
it took me a while to get used to bard
leaden ginkgo
I became a bard just so I can play music.. lol
spice stratus
also take into account which spells need to be easily accessible even when you're moving with the left joystick
leaden ginkgo
Still no idea how/where to put music files to play automatically and I don't want to get banned.
Ah yeah, you're right.
Hmmm
I was thinking, the bars on the edges need double tap to work, so, maybe I'll throw there things that take time to cast/have long duations.
spice stratus
that's usually where i keep my gearsets and limit break button
remote lintel
as a general rule, if something has a long cooldown and/or i don't use it often, i usually put it on the second hotbar
leaden ginkgo
I know, yeah, I have to double tap and hold in order to use a skill, even as a tank, using the shields on the right as you can see, might give me trouble sometimes, I have to double tap so hard.....if i had a nickname it would be velociTAPtor.
leaden ginkgo
The hold is for the initial bars.
remote lintel
ahh
leaden ginkgo
The double tap hold is for the ones in the edges
sick zenith
I don't think the double tap xh can be held at all
remote lintel
i don't use double tap
safe niche
Guys, If I intend to buy ffxiv since I'm on trial now. I should buy the last expansion and i should get gametime as well or I get gametime once I buy it ?
leaden ginkgo
but you still helped me
sick zenith
I mostly use left double tap for mount and teleport
remote lintel
@safe niche if you like it you can buy shadowbringers, but you need to buy the base game first
base game comes with 30 days
faint flare
Only the base game gives time
leaden ginkgo
Oh, Akko, I have the mount/companion/sprint buttons on the double tap hold between l2+r2 or r2+l2
it's a secret set of hotbars
that's why I stated above I can use 48 skills
but thank God, I don't need that mnay
many
leaden ginkgo
I was thinking about it, too actually, but this setup is decent enough and I kinda stick with it haha
But thanks to you, Cerberus
I can now do something
Thank you.

discounting usage of SkS/SpS melds it would probably be Machinist under Hypercharge
because it sets Heatblast/Auto-crossbow to 1.5 recast
1.5 is the hard cap
which monks can reach with sks melds iirc
Samurai can get pretty low too
remote lintel
unless you count bard
but we won't talk about bard
under the effect of mages ballad it can instantly reset the cool down of some skills
slate arrow
BRD's recast times are all over the place due to cooldown manipulation
leaden ginkgo
Probably a silly question;
Multiple BRD rngs don't stack right?
That is too say, to counteract the rng of brds recast time reduction, you can't just take 3 bards and whatever high dps class you feel like, and spam the biggest dps spell as much as you want
slate arrow
BRD songs don't stack for the party yes
leaden ginkgo
That's what I figured yeah, thanks.
Was just curious for some reason :p
leaden ginkgo
Oh gotcha, I misunderstood what he meant by "spam those skills"- that is, meaning spam the brds skills, rather then who the BRD was buffing
remote lintel
"those skills" = bloodletter and rain of death
leaden ginkgo
Gotcha
little swift
i don't count bard because the official recast of the skills bloodletter/rain of death are 15 seconds
leaden ginkgo
TBF channy, none of us were counting BRD really. Some were just pointing out that technically some of it's skills theoretically can be faster :P
