@strong sphinx maybe toggle it on, then update gear set?
raven sage

strong sphinx
oh lemme check
jolly sorrel
Yeah, obviously its straight up better to use Straight Shot whenever it procs. It's an extra 20 potency every six attacks.
It's like.. 1100 potency over six attacks, as opposed to 1080 potency over six attacks. I can see that it's -better-
It's just.. entirely lackluster
Its free though, so thats cool
agile laurel
wait til refulgent arrow is a whole 100 more potency than heavy/burst shot
vagrant copper
It's not like you have anything better to do while waiting for cooldowns 
agile laurel
then you can't really call it lackluster
jolly sorrel
Refulgent I get, that's definitely worth it. That only comes in the last 10 levels though, a whole 70 levels of not having that comes first
raven sage
Honestly don't expect bard to blow your mind but not pushing your buttons will make it way worse

Eh, fair enough. I guess this is just me complaining about how useless I feel the mechanic is, its no longer a question. Thanks for answering the actual question

Is summoner supposed to be a galaxy brain job? I got it to 70+ with scholar, and now I'm really struggling to keep track of trance and summon cooldowns, Bane (and my dots in general), egi assaults, Further Ruin etc.
agile laurel
yes and no
i'd say it's harder since you just came into it high level
once you know the core concepts it's just looking out for one or two things
twilit arch
it does have a bit to keep eye on, but that said it gets easier when you break it down into its parts

(I almost always use deathflare early because I know that if I wait, I'll forget about it and dread trance will time out)

and by the time you get to DWT on the priority list, you've got most of what you need so just get done with it

also, during fire trance, should I just spam the two fire trance abilities or should I use up my egi assault stacks to prep for not having them during phoenix and build up further ruin stacks?

Spam firebird abilities
agile laurel
firebird trance IS phoenix, at 80
gritty oracle
oh, right
agile laurel
so you want to have burned (lol) all your EAs before entiering FBT
gritty oracle
I always forget it isn't its separate phase
agile laurel
so you have them back for DWT
gritty oracle
I feel like I should just plop myself in front of a dummy in Summerford and prctice the rotation, but I have so many things to do that I can't take the time to learn it.
agile laurel
i mean, having a leveled sch does not automatically oblige you to be a shit hot smn
so no rush
(just like having a leveled smn did not qualify me to know wtf i was doing with sch, in my case)
o-kay... assuming overleveling isn't the answer, how does blu get final sting without getting deleted?
gritty oracle
I feel obligated to like smn because a friend gifted me neo ish casting gear tbh. I love RDM, and will love BLM when I get around to level it to a point where its rotation is not awkward anymore, and honestly SMN is fun, but I just get so overwhelmed.

Paladin is more strict on their rotation and has 2 phases, physical and magic

Not particularly, you do the exact same thing everytime in every fight

Okay, probably the strangest question to have been asked in this channel, I have a school assignment to make a trailer for “night of the living dead” portraying it as a musical, and I’ve been thinking to use some theme from XIV for it, anyone got recommendations

hmm
faint flare
Since the relic is i375

i'd look at tam tara hm or palace of the dead music maybe?

guys, I'm lvl 56 miner with 48 gear, I see most sets are bought using yellow scripts and to mine those I need specific mats to mine. But seems required perception is quiet high for the script items, what would you recommend to do?
oak ice
Buy nq 55 gear in Ishgard
rough anchor
I think the best way to get the scrips is if you have iddylshire unlocked, speak to khloe and unlock the deliveries
You’ll just need to gather 6 copies of something in collectible quality once per week and it gives IIRC like 1000 scrips
hoary storm
Check out mb for some HQ tools for a cheap price
hoary storm
if not HQ ppl often sell gear they get from quests for quite cheap
next wind
but I think lv 55 gear might be great to start with
rough anchor
I mean that’s how much you’ll get don’t remember how much the sets cost
next wind
I checked the mb and it's 200k for dhalmel set which is not good enough
oak ice
Since you're just gonna be leveling and not actually stick to one set for long it's not worth spending time gathering all those scrips
hoary storm
check on other servers maybe
rough anchor
I’d use the scrips to buy the folklore books etc

Does people not turn void lamps off in haukke manor? I read guides before running new dungeons.
First time was cool but last night's roulette, only me (healer) turn it off and we keep getting blasted with void and i have to keep running corner to corner cuz no one else do it, while healing.
Not sure if unnecessary or my party was poo poo, OR I was poo poo
solemn delta
Is that the one they get when you unlock the class?

If you have a good healer then you don't need to turn off the lamps

twilit arch
yes, from the calamity salvager
vagrant canyon
I can confidently say I'm a healer that do my job
tender estuary
@jovial sierra technically you can but there are some residual files that might not work right, plus you might have to make a new shortcut so it’s not trying to go to the old install location
raven sage
Then as long as you're comfortable healing it, you can ignore the lamps

I recommend reinstalling it personally but if it works fine copying and pasting then whatever works for you

You just trade your aetherpool stats into the weapon of your choice
rain owl
Is it still feasible to solo on summoner? I keep finding that I'm getting wrecked by the floor 20 boss
wintry chasm
He spawns in The Shroud and when he spawns the weather changes to "tension" @vernal girder
Other than that you just have to find him really
Usually people shout out his location
faint flare
You need high aetherpool to solo
wintry chasm
Also ^
generally I'd also suggest doing Red Mage or Paladin which have really nice self heals so you don't die as easily
Summoner is far from the worst though I guess

if you're only doing padjali
wintry chasm
also if you want to farm aetherpools
I'd just keep running 50-100 over and over when you can
rain owl
I noticed a video on Youtube where someone was on the floor 20 boss with like +50 +50
How does that work?
faint flare
When your aetherpool is too high. It syncs down
wintry chasm
I...assume that means the aetherpool stats you are synced to
faint flare
To a threshold
wintry chasm
same way it works if you, say, get queued into a low level dungeon on a high level character
all your stuff syncs down
faint flare
The sync is very generous which is why its easier to solo with high aetherpool
faint flare
Yes
wintry chasm
No real reason to though tbh
faint flare
Just delete saves
You can start at 1 or 51
Once you get to 51
Everyone farms 51-60
zinc orbitBOT

So is it possible for me to get to a high level of aetherpool with random people and then revisit a lower floor with my friends with that same aetherpool?

Yes
Aetherpool is saved throughout every run

it becomes progressively harder to get aetherpool level increases

The math is a lil weird??
Unless they uses different formula for different potency, yeah... It is ratio
slate arrow
but like we can't tell you exactly how much damage since it also depends on your gear
warped nest
It boils down to:
- high potency skill deals more damage (there are other factors preventing you from using high potency skill, for example: MP cost and cast time etc)
- Use better gear

Nope, just make sure they do not expire
And don’t forget to use up all procs (besides Fan Dance 1/2) before using flourish, which is best done by using your procs ASAP so you only need to delay by a GCD if needed
rough rain
Ok gotcha, I dont have flourish yet. It's a buff that just lets me use the better versions of them right?
warped nest
Just make sure that you don't uses attack that can create new procs
So you don't overwrite the current procs
Somehow
warped nest
Another reminder, the first 4 procs listed above have a chance to generate feather
So you gonna watch out for that too
rough rain
so when im not doing steps, against a single target I should just be cycling through the 2 flourished single target spells? then reupping dances when theyre off cd?
for dps anyways
warped nest
I don't want to sound rude or anything, but do we have a flowchart on this?
DNC is best explained with a flowchart
obsidian patio
I know balance had one somewhere

im sorry lol, its super confusing b/c im used to just having bread/butter rotations, but dancer is weird
vagrant copper
My dancer experience so far: Push buttons. When something gets highlighted in yellow, push that button instead. xD
quasi spire
hey, can i ask some questions about tanking? want to get the intricacies down. first off, how much attack is enough to ensure a mob aggro? i do total eclipse > prominence on each group before moving on, is just TE enough?
warped nest
Your dancer single target bread and butter is 1-2, but if you have the procs, do 3-4
1-3-2-4 is valid
1-2-4-3 is valid too
If you have 3 (proc from 1) just make sure you used 3 before you pressed 1, you can use it right away, or even after using 4 (proc from 2)
rough rain
3/4 being the proc'd 1/2 right?
sudden wolf
Yes
rough rain
ok cool
slate arrow
@quasi spire generally just TE is enough, if DPS pull aggro you just wait for them to come to you. If DPS runs around like a headless chicken it's generally not your fault
warped nest
As long as you uses the proc before you use the skill that can generate it again
vagrant copper
You generally don't have to worry about aggro getting out of hand if your stance is up. And I guess if you're all synced. DPS has to do a lot of damage to pull aggro away from you.
quasi spire
ok, next up - how do i know whether i can facetank an aoe vs moving to dodge? should i even try facetanking?
remote lintel
why would you
slate arrow
don't stand in AoEs????
sudden wolf
Unless your monk :J
remote lintel
unless you're drk
slate arrow
just don't????
sudden wolf
Gotta proc that riddle of earth somehow
sudden wolf
:J NO
warped nest
Please don't talk about monk, the player is asking tank question
sudden wolf
oh
quasi spire
some games u have to on occasion, just confirming
remote lintel
no
sudden wolf
Nah
slate arrow
oh you will have to stand in AoEs savage raids for mechanics
For casual content though you never stand in aoes
warped nest
If the AOE doesn't have any mechanics to it, then get the hell out
Don't take unnecessary damages
vagrant copper
And there's not really a way to know what is or isn't a "tank stand here" mechanic until you get there and experience it.
Unless you look up guides
quasi spire
alright, next up - how do i know when pulling mobs how much to extend? i usually start with 2 mobs and rampart and then try to pull more if im not in danger
slate arrow
did someone say light rampant :pogchamp:
@quasi spire generally you pull wall 2 wall
faint flare
After lv50 you can mostly wall to wall pull
sudden wolf
^
remote lintel
just pull like 5 straight up
sudden wolf
Don’t stop and continue pulling
remote lintel
2 is unnecessary
faint flare
You have a majority of.your defensive kit at that point
slate arrow
it's not uncommon to have like 15 mobs slapping you at the same time
please pull as much as you can
For everyone's sake
sudden wolf
It’s frustrating most of the time
warped nest
When you have stopped, try not to move again, your healer and DPS might have used a skill on the ground and you tricked them into it
Hence wasting their skills
sudden wolf
^
warped nest
So don't pull 2 then chill for 10s and go, "imma do more" and start running away
vagrant copper
That's also one of those thing where you just kind of have to do it to get a sense of how well it'll work out. If the group wipes, then pull less. 😛
quasi spire
i just check every mob if im in danger of dying
remote lintel
you're not
faint flare
And it means all the aoe skills used already have been less effective cause you didn't finish pulling
slate arrow
The only health point that matters is the last one
warped nest
Also, please communicate with your healer
quasi spire
sometimes i die and idk if thats me or the healer, prob me i guess
slate arrow
trust your healer before you die, and if you do, trust your healer a little less
warped nest
Don't decide this on your own
faint flare
If you're using defensive cooldowns, including tank immunities you can pull everything
warped nest
If healer don't want to do wall to wall, just do 2 groups
It is only adding a few minutes to the dungeon run
slate arrow
Also gear is an important factor
zinc orbitBOT
quasi spire
i use everything except hallowed ground which i use for bosses / emergency moments
slate arrow
please don't save hallowed ground
warped nest
Hallowed ground is better for big pulls
faint flare
Trash hits.harder than bosses
slate arrow
That's 10 seconds your healer could be slapping the adds
warped nest
Than it is for boss
quasi spire
ok
remote lintel
anyway it's not your job to check whether you're in danger of dying or not
leave it to your healer
they will handle your health
warped nest
Bosses is only hard if you don't respect their mechanics
sudden wolf
Ye trash takes longer then bosses
You will be wasting a use of the skill of you save it till boss anyway
faint flare
Tank immunities aren't "oh shit" buttons, they're VERY strong defensive cooldowns
Your strongest infact
Some immunities.like living dead do require abit of communication
But they're very strong
slate arrow
Hallowed ground is pure invuln for 10 seconds with the only drawback being the cooldown
it's the best invuln in the game
faint flare
They do their job of keeping you from dying.the best
slate arrow
please use it
quasi spire
alright, so ill play aggressively pulling, using my strong cooldowns first, except if i end up dying too much and/or the healer wants to slow down
sound ok?
remote lintel
thats the norm yes
remote lintel
honestly only pulling 2 adds is an offense to tanks
static yacht
ALWAYS use it
faint flare
I usually give the healer like 2-3 wipes
slate arrow

faint flare
Then after that there's some.issue
quasi spire
ok, got it
thanks
next bit of info - in trials etc with another tank, how should i play off-tank?
remote lintel
pretend youre dps
static yacht
in normals you're blue dps
faint flare
Off tanks.are basically dps
remote lintel
pull adds if there are any
static yacht
in extreme mode / savage mode you're the main tank after a tank swap
slate arrow
turn off tank stance
remote lintel
thats about it
quasi spire
because with my current gear the other tanks do a lot more aggro than me
slate arrow
have provoke and tank stance on the ready after tank dies
faint flare
You pick up adds, assist the MT with busters via shared cooldowns like Intervention and be ready to tank swap if necessary
quasi spire
tank swap is provoke right?
warped nest
Yes
quasi spire
or getting shirked on
faint flare
Yes
remote lintel
provoke and shirk
warped nest
Shirk is sorta kinda optional, but that's not the point now
quasi spire
ok
remote lintel
just dont keep tank stance off
there will be times where the MT dies and you've forgotten to turn it on
warped nest
Btw this is under the assumption that both tanks are very consistent with their damage
If OT beats MT on aggro generation, it is probably the MT's fault
quasi spire
ok, ive checked out a lot of PLD rotations but at my current level it seems super gimped
warped nest
That applies to all jobs
quasi spire
so i just do the 3 attack combo with fight or flight after attack 2 and circle of scorn whenever that's off CD
warped nest
Yeah
faint flare
Paladin is very straightforward and very rigid
warped nest
Don't forget that your gap closer ability (forgot exact name and at which level you will learn it) does damage too
faint flare
Imtervene at like 74
quasi spire
btw i dont really know where spirits within fits into this
faint flare
On cooldown
oak ice
Just click spirits within for free damage

Don't save it because "I want it to be at maximum potency"

quasi spire
ok, i really gotta unlock HW, im level 57 but still dont have my 50+ level stuff available
goring blade really seems like it'd change up the style
faint flare
Its something you press every 3rd combo after 60
Cause 52-60 is weird since goring does more damage than Rage
Even without the dot
static yacht
rage of halone is a meme
it does 320 potency 52-60 and I think goring blade does 350?

halone does 350 and goring 390

Is there any way to subvert the shit inaccuracy from being underleveled?
leaden ginkgo
I might be super wrong about this because no info but, can you augment antiquated chaos set? To change color in glamour.
warped nest
Nothing beats BLM though on weird ass skill curve
Is there any way to subvert the shit inaccuracy from being underleveled?
@agile laurel not be underlevel
faint flare
Hitting the rear has some accuracy bitt
leaden ginkgo
@agile laurel Oh, I'll be damned, can you please enlighten me?
agile laurel
yeah i'm leveling blu and spamming 1k needles
i can ohko things 10+ my level
but it's whether I miss and die
faint flare
At equal level, flank is like 10% buff and rear is like.20%
remote lintel
@leaden ginkgo the lvl 70 armor?
remote lintel
oh
agile laurel
should be an item from yolaine you need @ forgotten knight
leaden ginkgo
so i can augment to change it color? I already have the whole set from my hunts.
remote lintel
you get the dyeable armor
agile laurel
yep
leaden ginkgo
I have the set right here

but no dye
like it does't have icon
i suppose i must augment it
remote lintel
augment it

ok where to?
remote lintel

ohhhhh

btw how long do HW and SB questlines go? im really tired of MSQ at this point
leaden ginkgo
Nice, thanks!
remote lintel
have you gotten to HW @quasi spire ?
pliant cosmos
I just opened my 1st treasure portal
remote lintel
or still on ARR
faint flare
They're long but not as long as ARR
quasi spire
no
pliant cosmos
should I make a party finder for it or just jump in?
remote lintel
you still on ARR?
pliant cosmos
ah, ok solo it is
quasi spire
i just beat keeper of the lake for the first time, for reference
faint flare
All people need to be in the party prior to digging
quasi spire
there are 10000 "speak with alphinaud" quests

@remote lintel hey sorry, again, is the NPC I talk to for the augmentation on the chaos set, Seika like before?
woven token
Yeahhh you won't likely solo that
faint flare
Yes
remote lintel
yea
pliant cosmos
I dont have any friends anyway 🤷♂️
faint flare
Same person

Post in party finder next time, plenty of people looking to do maps. Owner need rest greed is a pretty typical setup
Good money too
quasi spire
btw how far do I need to get to unlock AST and GNB respectively?
remote lintel
HW for ast and lvl 60 for gnb
pliant cosmos
yup immediate deth, oh well, theres always next time
quasi spire
yeah i wanted to pick up a healer and the whole card aesthetic of AST appealed
woven token
Given the way xp is now, you'll likely hit gnb first lol
agile laurel
i imagine sch's shields are relative to the target's max health?
quasi spire
want to pick up a dps but am spoiled by queue times of tank
agile laurel
in terms of underlevel?
faint flare
The shiels are based on how much you heal
quasi spire
im at 57 so i might just hit 60 by HW
woven token
Relative to your heal potency
agile laurel
yes, but surely a level 80 sch can't adlo a level 2 for 90x their max health?
quasi spire
are there any video tank guides you'd recommend?
agile laurel
you know if you can cheese blu learning that way?
faint flare
Yes
Go to high level area (aka azya la) > tag mobs (59 mobs) > high level friend kills them
woven token
Out of party healer is essentially the omni cheese. Works for just about anything
faint flare
^
Needs to be out of party so you get all the xp and not have it neutered
Because lv60+ mobs arent coded for blue yet
Only lv59 and under mobs work
Cause they're explicitly coded to give blue mass xp
While higher mobs dont
Cause you know, blue cant go over 60
So no point yet
agile laurel
curious to get glower/flamethrower asap but unfortunately the only person with a sch leveled I could convince to help me, is me

out of curiousity, if I had twin adder or immortal flames gear from seal turn-ins, can they be used when in a different gc?

Have tanks and dps at 80

Should be fine

That's good to hear, cause being the 1st dungeon of the expac I noticed it gives a lot of equips from chests

polar hound
You don't need to get hit at all. You just need to tag or hit the enemy before it casts it, is all
rich bay
@somber knoll
No you can't unsync (undersize) in current expansion dungeons, you need to meet the party requirement.
You can use trusts for ShB dungeons however.
somber knoll
Erm I'm trying to unsync SB dungeon
rich bay
You do can undersize SB dungeons.
pliant cosmos
can you use trusts for titty? I cant seem to queue for a party

put up your dots, and use egi assaults to weave in festers

What are the materia for the Vamper's Knives for the ARR relic?
twilit arch
you only want to use bane to spread your dots at the start, unless they're falling off but generally by the time they're falling off things should be dead or almost dead
since you don't have painflare at 50, just use fester

leaden ginkgo
hi everyone,
i have two questions.
-
how can i change class and class restrictions?
i am starting leveling a character as an archer, but i do not think i want to ultimately be an archer.
currently a lvl 15 miqo'te, can i change class later on, and if so, are there any class restrictions to miqo'te? -
what level should i level up to solo before i can start joining other players?
wintry chasm
Once you do your level 10 class quest on your starting class you can unlock all the others
Just go to the different guilds
remote lintel
races don't have restrictions
woven token
No race restrictions in this game outside of the starter gear lol. So never an issue there
wintry chasm
^ this isn't a bad game
leaden ginkgo
should i change classes now if i don't want to be archer or can i wait?
wintry chasm
Up to you?
remote lintel
if you don't like it change
wintry chasm
Swapping sooner would mean less leveling to catch up to where you are I guess
remote lintel
but all classes start out boring
wintry chasm
Rude
remote lintel
if that's what you're trying to avoid
leaden ginkgo
how can i change my class?
remote lintel
Just go to the different guilds
woven token
Imo none of them get particularly interesting until at least HW. Very cut and dry until then, then they start getting their niches really going
remote lintel
oh it tags
wintry chasm
Thanks 
leaden ginkgo
i'm not sure what that means, i do not think im part of a guild
i'm completely new to the game 
wintry chasm
In the city there are guilds for the classes Shazi
remote lintel
you started in the archer guild
wintry chasm
Archer guild
remote lintel
every class has a guild
wintry chasm
Lancer guild
Etc
And yeah you would have gone to the archer one in the first quest
It's in New Gridania
leaden ginkgo
okay i see
remote lintel
find out where the guild is for the class you want
and go to it
and say u wanna join
and bam
wintry chasm
Since you forgot what guilds are I assume you haven't been doing your class quests. You absolutely have to do them
Very very very important
leaden ginkgo
also wondering if its hard to level up solo? and what level i can start playing with others. i guess max level
remote lintel
I said 15
wintry chasm
Well your first dungeon is level 15 MSQ
That is your first real multiplayer stuff
And no leveling up isn't an issue solo
You just do content like dungeons and whatnot
leaden ginkgo
okay thank you soo much 
warped nest
Just want to point out that playing tank or healer doesn't affect your combat in story either
