Poeple are already soloing it and have zero problem with it :/
half kraken
What's the optimal dancer dps combo when you have standard step, technical step, devilment, and flourish ready?
wintry sable
i try to do the same and get killed
polar hound
what are you soloing it with
raw solstice
they might push past that or pop major cd
wintry sable
Tried first with Dragoon. Then with paladin. Then with WHM
half kraken
I'm not sure if I should use devilment before or after technical finish cos it takes some time to execute
faint flare
Standard > Devilment or flourish > Technical > other one > go in your way
half kraken
Sick, thanks
wintry sable
I even used the shield and still get killed from 100% to 0%
faint flare
You can also do flourish after technical and pop devilment after Rising windmill
half kraken
Why devilment so late?
polar hound
gear difference mayhaps, but you'd need some cooldowns for that solo for sure i imagine. or hella dps to push past.
faint flare
Somewhat depends on your partner as they like devilment at different times

my gear is 480 ._.
half kraken
I mean I won't know when they want it lol
faint flare
The late devilment also covers more of your procs and any saber dances
wintry sable
someone even did it with lvl 70 tank...
warped nest
Even just focusing on yourself, Technical Finish increase your espirit gain so you are getting more saber dances
half kraken
I like to use technical step before devilment to basically announce hey I'm gonna buff you like hell now
polar hound
You are dying in the first phase?
wintry sable
always when he reach 20-30% hp
half kraken
Ok so I guess I'll do standard>flourish>technical>devilment>all my flourishing moves + saber dances
raw solstice
yeah that looks like heat lightning -> lightning tether, watching a pov I just see stacking a good bit of mitigation for it
faint flare
Downside of early flourish is that your procs could fall off if you get too many saber dances..
Downside of early devilment is that it may fall off and not cover some procs or saber dances
main halo
So my Steam seems to have lost FF14 somehow.
faint flare
Depending how much espirit you generate
wintry sable
What to do then? :I
half kraken
I've never had to deal with too many saber dances
polar hound
hallowed and win
half kraken
Even if I get a bunch of saber dances the flourishing effects do last for 20s it's pretty fine
main halo
It disappeared from my Steam folder, I verified it was still in the Steamapps folder so I just had it reinstalled but the launcher seems to think I need to reinstall. Any way to correct the launcher?

Alright

It can be a issue later in fights when you already have some espirit saved up

What does Vex farm mean for Memoria in party finders
limber walrus
hey guys! As a DARK, how can I grind up 31 to 70 quickly?
obsidian patio
Vex just sounds like shorthand for ||Varis EX||
obsidian patio
do your daily leveling roulette and then spam your highest level dungeon that’s not level 50/60/70
faint flare
Leves are pretty trash
Fates are ok if you're waiting in a que
Though you generally have fast ques so
limber walrus
yeah that is true. Tank gets in pretty quick
oh right
Are dungeons faster than the palace of the dead too?
half kraken
Would I be fine never using tornado kick?
half kraken
I'm not yet at 80 for monk yet, but when would I use SSS?
faint flare
Only way you can really use it is when you can Anatman back your stacks
agile laurel
TK is niche, 6SS is less niche
yeah TK and 6SS are heavily memed on tools for the fact they're basically useless
faint flare
As a last hit before boss goes away
obsidian patio
!faq mnkguide
zinc orbitBOT
obsidian patio
The optimization guide goes into the use cases
agile laurel
6ss is okay i guess for when you need to disconnect for 5sec or so
half kraken
So it's like tornado kick except you don't lose GS stacks
With 400 vs 430 potency
Bruh tornado kick needs like a lot more potency to be any good at all then
I'm removing it from my damn hotbar
faint flare
Like i said, only real use is when you can use Anatman to get your stacks back
obsidian patio
Yeah it’s basically used as “I’m gonna lose GL no matter what”
obsidian patio
Or “the fight is right about to end”
faint flare
So like E8 adds
half kraken
And is there any use of anatman except to enable TK?
half kraken
As an opener I guess
faint flare
There's a Anatman opener floating around

rigid panther
@faint flare For first time newbie, Do i just follow the main quest?
delicate stone
Also do your blue quests! They unlock stuff
faint flare
Its MANDATORY to do basically anything
Also do your class quests for skills
Those are also mandatory
Follow whatever your main scenario tracker says
rigid panther
Cool okay
does blue quests pop up somewhere like the scenario on the left hand side
faint flare
No but they show in the map
The main scenario tracker shows your main story and current class quest if any are available
And i believe the chocobo mount quesy
rigid panther
are they the ones in blue cross
delicate stone
Yup, blue with a plus
faint flare
Yes
median locust
delicate stone
Blue quests can unlock things like mount related things, dungeons / raids, and class abilities. Sometimes they'll kick off a quest chain, but usually the unlock is for completing that blue quest and not finishing the chain
You'll know because the chain goes back to the side quest symbol

tidal yarrow
I see ty, I'm looking at all the abilites rn
and one said "grants getsu" so I wondered
faint flare
Yeah its basically saying "this gives sen"
tidal yarrow
because I was looking at someone doing a rotation video, not really a guide, and it was hard to tell what was going on cause I had to recognize stuff from symbols/animations

its basically
this combo gives a sticker

Alot of jobs have "generate resource during downtime" ability
Boss goes away to do their ultimate
You mediate

Like when a boss becomes untargetable to do their big flashy attack

You generate kenki

I think I've not seen many opportunities for it yet
I'll see when I'll unlock more dungeons and trials

and they have this nice beard
why does SE do this
tidal yarrow
I don't get what true north does..
mossy cloud
you get postitional damage bonus regardless of position to the boss
faint flare
Aka for samurai, you generate kenki/bonus kenki regardless where you are
When you hit 52 is when samurai gets positionals
tidal yarrow
Aka for samurai, you generate kenki/bonus kenki regardless where you are
because position matter? I didn't know that
mossy cloud
for some moves
faint flare
On some skills
That makes that skill do bonus effects depending if you hit the correct side of the boss
tidal yarrow
I had no idea whaat, where can I read about it
faint flare
For samurai, Kasha is a flank positional
Meaning Kasha generates kenki when you hit it from the side
While gecko is a rear positional, and generates kenki from the rear only
Again. These appear in your tooltips at 52

Still relevant for showing where the game.classes as positionals

And bear in mind that your position is factored in when you press the button and the attack goes out
The animation or when the damage happens is irrelevant
tidal yarrow
so, the moment when I press it's what matters

Im on the free trial trying to milk it and im leveling my other classes to 35. I just did this new dungeon for the first time and was getting insane exp like 2k per each monster kill. Why does that happen?
Can i keep grinding it and getting that much exp?

Armoury XP
Every job under your highest level job gets XP bonus
100% bonus for jobs under 70
near wolf
I do dailys, fates, palace of the dead, etc to level but i dont understand why sometimes i get so much exp in dungeons

Because dungeons give the most xp

near wolf
im just trying to get everything to level 35 before i buy the game

near wolf
lets see if the second time i get a lot of exp or not
faint flare
If you're levelling other jobs under your highest level job youre aldo getting the armoury xp bonus like I said
near wolf
yea i am
faint flare
There's a number of XP bonuses to help speed up levelling
near wolf
i know abut that
i already have my dragoon to max 35
everything else is getting bonuses
So if i wanted to level the absolute fastest it would be dailys first then dungeons non stop?

Yes
If que times for dungeons are super long you can do palace of the dead instead
As ques for that are decently quick

You can increase mount speed in areas by progressing the story anf buying riding maps for that zone

Everything that can oneshot you on Stereopes can be dodged.
You're likely getting hit by 100 tonze Swing. Get used to it, that gets reused several times on other bosses - it has no indicator on the ground typically, but its a massive circular attack that will oneshot most people.
leaden ginkgo
maybe a bit of a stupid question but when you are moving for a positional, lets say its a side positional on the 3rd hit of a combo, do you move to that position in the beginning of the combo and and do it's entirety to the side even though the positional is only the 3rd hit or do you stay where you are and move just for that 3rd hit? I wanna know which is more efficient so I don't get into a bad habit of doing the contrary
simple shore
Generally if you have position-neutral moves leading up to a positional, best to move ahead of time.
zinc orbitBOT
simple shore
I assume you're playing DRG, just based on that.
leaden ginkgo
sam
but I wanna get into the habit of doing something consistent. Sometimes I move before I even hakaze, sometime I move just before the positional. So I wanted to know if there was an efficient way of doing it or it's up to personal preference and gameplay and ofc boss encounter
simple shore
Boss encounter can make it better to wait
Like, if you know the boss is going to stick an AoE circle under you, the delaying movement is better to bait it away.
*then
Otherwise, moving ahead of time tends to be preferable

But to answer your question
leaden ginkgo
do I have to wait for my alt to get lvl 60 in order to buy her a shire set?
bronze sorrel
If you move in between the shifu and kasha
leaden ginkgo
I dont see the gear listed
bronze sorrel
Sorry lemme rephrase
You only need to be at the positional when you press the skill that requires the positional
You don't need to be there for the whole combo
@leaden ginkgo
@leaden ginkgo do you have access to the NPC?
It'll be under Dow(ii) or Dom(ii)

Hey, anyone here got an 80 paladin?
junior yacht
what's up?
clear delta
So
I got a perdurable tomestone from raid
The gear that I'm supposed to get from the vendor, is that an upgrade from Honorbound?
junior yacht
yes
clear delta
Okay. is there a reason its cheaper than the other weapons?
does it not come with a shield?
junior yacht
it does not, and that's why it's cheaper
the relic weapon will eventually be stronger than tome and raid gear, but not until the final patch of the expansion
junior yacht
yes
junior yacht
whenever the next update to Bozja comes out, which should be next patch i think (?)
honestly you can use Honorbound, the differences in stats are pretty small\
junior yacht
buying weapons for other classes, yes
clear delta
Ok, thanks, you have been very helpful
junior yacht
❤️
clear delta
I think I'll hold onto this tomestone until I find a use for it.

ironically, i feel like my queue time for the leveling dungeons in ShB are longer compared to the older ones... maybe b.c more people do older stuff through roulettes?
gritty oracle
Because a lot of players don't have it unlocked because they're still leveling through older expansions.
More players have say, tam tara unlocked than Holminster.
zinc orbitBOT
vagrant copper
Combine that with the fact that once you hit 80 you tend to stop doing roulettes (at least, I'd imagine so). Getting shafted on both sides.
simple shore
Another factor to consider
is that ShB adds Trusts - which means that alot of players "first time" through a dungeon doesnt help out the queues because they're solo
and the super casuals (and smart people who recognize that trust is better than 20 minute queue) also use them for alt jobs. etc.
Smaller pool of players = worse queue times

What ilvl will Puppets Bunker gear be?

490

Really? That's busted
twilit arch
alliance raid is always the same ilvl as the unaugmented weekly

It is for catching up and you can only get 1 gear per week on release, so it ain't busted

You know how ast has different sects based on what healer they’re paired with in an 8-man raid?
leaden ginkgo
How do I level up 60-80 as miner?
spare plinth
I’m curious, what would happen if there’s two astrologians in a raid
leaden ginkgo
Without SB
jade quartz
They can use both sects.
leaden ginkgo
Diadem gives almost 0 exp after 50
twilit arch
you use the sect opposite of your co healer
gritty oracle
That's not my experience Dan
I'm like 68-ish on miner and with the 6M manuals, I blow through them in like half an hour.
delicate stone
Each ast goes a different sect since regens / shields don't stack
aside from neutral sect, but that's a temporary buff used mainly for setup or so i hear
leaden ginkgo
What about unspoiled node collectables?
gritty oracle
Idk you should see in timers how much xp they give
Open timers and click on rowena
I only do collectibles for custom deliveries

is there a point in doing DoH job quests?
there are many ways to level up and they ask for a hefty amount of materials
gritty oracle
Yes. They unlock great many skills
leaden ginkgo
^
gritty oracle
I recommend doing dol quests first, because you'll invariably have a lot of excess mats
That you can reuse in doh quests
(especially adamantine, aurum Regis and titanium. Really stock up on those three.)
Plus it's good stor
My favourite DoH story is probably goldsmith or blacksmith.
candid raptor
Goldsmith is great
jade quartz
They’re also great exp
gritty oracle
HW that is. ARR story armorer and alchemist definitely takes the cake.
Yeah they actually give like 1/3, 1/4 a level
Although they're easier done grossly overleveled

Hey everyone, I started Ishgard Restoration yesterday. Yesterday I was able to trade-in Grade 2 Skybuilders' Nails but now I can't (Level 48 Blacksmith, 275 CP, Craftsmanship : 204 and Control : 177) If anyone could tell me why I can't ?
twilit arch
make sure the items have the minimum collectability
hearty quail
want do you mean (sorry I'm new) ?
twilit arch
when you talk to the turn in npc, there's a collectability column which indicates the minimum required
twilit arch
so you need to make sure that when you're crafting the items for turn in, they're at that number or higher
simple shore
Now mouseover the ones in your inventory and see what their rating is.
carmine patio
3 trial players on Malboro looking for someone to create us a party please

If they're below those numbers, they're useless and can get trashed.

there's a pinned message in #doh-dol-lounge with a document that has rotations for restoration

@simple shore I just gave it a try and it works, THANKS !

Just keep in mind that's specific to the level 40 item and your current stats. On a different class with different stats, or on a different item, it likely will not work.

You know how recipes for doh will later need materials that has to be gathered and not bought?
Would it be easier to just use market board instead of doing a dol job?
little swift
it would be easier to just buy the turn-ins or materials
but its more expensive
depends on what you value
gritty oracle
Is there news on when auto demolish will turn back on?
little swift
not that i've heard about yet
twilit arch
nope, they'll make a lodestone post
gritty oracle
Leveling crafters off the MB is crazy pricy
spare plinth
I’m level 30 weaver and now materials use linen and flax you have to be botanist
Would it depend on the price of the material on marketboard?
spare plinth
So I guess it’s better to be dol
gritty oracle
I only really buy mats that the recipe requires like one of and it's not an item I would reasonably keep on myself. Like glues always require mats from all across Eorzea and only 1 of each. Screw that I'll just expend the gil.
20 aurum Regis sand for one quest item? Sea of clouds here I go.
spare plinth
I’m assuming there will be quest that will need the item be high quality for crafting
gritty oracle
From level 20 items nearly always have to be HQ
spare plinth
Level 20+ quests?
spare plinth
Does kupobot has a good guide about increasing quality?
gritty oracle
Actually, Cai, for leveling past 20, I recommend doing the Ishgardian restoration if you've finished 3.3 MSQ
It's not difficult. You have touch actions that require CP and increase quality. The game really eases you into it if you read the active help entries and tooltips.
twilit arch
you need to be past a certain point in the heavensward main scenario quest yes, but once you've unlocked it
you can use it to level up a gatherer starting at lvl 10 or a crafter starting at lvl 20
gritty oracle
Yes
The upsides of the restoration is sweet rewards from the currency you get there, and that you don't have to use many different materials
Like, you do a single recipe for 20 levels

leaden ginkgo
whats the difference between a raid and a "savage" raid?
slate arrow
savage is haaaaard
like
much harder
AoE tells are often hidden
special status effects which can kill the party unless cleared correctly
mechanics
little swift
the dps check is tight since there is a hard enrage that kills everyone if the boss isn't dead by a certain time
slate arrow
such as having to juggle hot potato while also not potato-ing your party to death
little swift
its not like normal versions which end up looping/repeating mechanics until its dead
slate arrow
the saving grace is that unless specified otherwise or it's a quirk of the raid the mechanics happen the exact same way every time
I think the only trial with random mechanics is the memoria EX trial where the mechanics are the same but the order is randomized in the second phase

is the shire armor set good for tanks?
slate arrow
at level 60 yes
leaden ginkgo
I see it has a lot of tenacity
slate arrow
below 80 Item level is king
dapper shadow
big pull means you as a tank run and take aggro of every mob possible until you hit a wall
leaden ginkgo
alright, I'll grab one then
dapper shadow
and then everyone proceeds to AOE them to death
leaden ginkgo
capped on poetics
lime geode
no reason not to
leaden ginkgo
I'll grab a set for each of my alts
dapper shadow
unless you are undergeared, or have a hurrdurrhealer
leaden ginkgo
yeah I've seen those tanks in some dungeons
slate arrow
the only reason not spend poetics for gear at 60 is if you have a level 80 job @ 450
since you can then farm Alex Savage for 270 stuff instead
but that requires having friends
leaden ginkgo
but that requires having friends
@slate arrow shit

kinda hard to farm poetics before lvl 60
slate arrow
@dapper shadow tl;dr 460 gear, or crafting materials for 480
leaden ginkgo
it took me a while to get my first ironworks set
little swift
crafting materials are probably your best bet
things like dried hi-ethers are used in tinctures
slate arrow
@leaden ginkgo you shouldn't farm poetics unless you really need them
assuming you do your roulettes daily you should get close to 1000 or more a day
(give or take a few hundred due to first time bonuses)
dapper shadow
oooo yeah i can spend on those. grade 3 tinctures could save me some money
nocturne crane
Mnk s good class t high end/ end game content?
slate arrow
all jobs are good at 80 yes
dapper shadow
no one will discriminate you over another class unless they are bad and needs mental help
dapper shadow
but usually ppl go with DPS composition of 1 melee 1 range 1 caster and 1 any other DPS (for endgame savage)
proven bay
As long as you play it good you're not going to be dragging the party down
slate arrow
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
dapper shadow
so some may want to deny you a spot if there alrdy is like 2melee classes
slate arrow
If you're in party finder it doesn't really matter
If they want that exact composition PF allows you to filter for only specific jobs
dapper shadow
there are ofc meta comps but like, if you arent doing 100tile damage the comp sucks (cuz 99 dancer still cant beat other ranged)
proven bay
Although it's worth mentioning that Monk is one of the toughest classes to play @nocturne crane Primarily because the rotation is super fast and littered with positionals
slate arrow
MNK is the only job where every weaponskill has a positional bonus
except for like
one
dapper shadow
aCkChUaLlY aoe weaponskills has no positionals
obsidian wren
All non-aoe afaik
little swift
and form shift
dapper shadow
So play what you want. "hard jobs" are only hard if you don't look to improve yourself
you have 80 levels to git gud

I'm a NIN main and was super worried when I started out because the rotation is incredibly complex

!faq backupmeta
zinc orbitBOT
proven bay
But it only took me 15 minutes to learn the rotation properly
slate arrow
This may be a meme but it's completely true for basically everything in the game
proven bay
So it isn't hard if you actually want to try
slate arrow
Outside of specifically niche cases, usually right outside of an expansion launch
See: SMM before the pet actions change back in 5.0
slate arrow
SMN is so free tho
dapper shadow
until you start ghosting FBT revelations during uplift cuz you didnt get blue markers
proven bay
Btw, how is SAM compared to NIN? I've been thinking of trying out that and maybe MNK to get a more diverse dps pool
dapper shadow
SAM is comfy this tier
slate arrow
SAM is the BLM of melee
slate arrow
actually it can be
dapper shadow
dAmAgE iS mY UtIliTy
slate arrow
It always sucks when you miss your midare tsubeme
dapper shadow
dont trigger my blm friend pls BLM is hard
slate arrow
and then your rotation shifts by a whole sticker combo
And you can't help but cry because the comfy went poof
dapper shadow
his hair starts turning white and falling off when he tried the hypermeme ultra secret bl0m technique
proven bay
I assume the midare tsubame miss is due to fat fingering
slate arrow
no
slate arrow
you can only midare tsubeme after doing a normal midare
doing anything else automatically cancels it out
so you either have to wait and cry for the cooldown or continue doing the combo and cry
proven bay
I mean that's standard combo skills though, isn't it?
You go midare into midare tsubame
slate arrow
midare tsubeme isn't a combo action
little swift
they're two separate actions
proven bay
Oh
little swift
!action tsubame-gaeshi
zinc orbitBOT
Powered by XIVAPI
zinc orbitBOT
Powered by XIVAPI
slate arrow
it's an action on the GCD
little swift
is a weaponskill
proven bay
Oh, so you just weave tsubame after midare
So if you miss it you've fat fingered the rotation
slate arrow
did someone say filler GCDs 
nah sometimes you just have a bad Skill speed which means you have to do some awkward manurvering to have your midare line up with tsubame on cooldown
proven bay
Idk, I'm sure I'll understand better once I look into the actual rotation. But I guess SAM isn't all that hard outside of playing around the boss and learning the rotation
slate arrow
There's a reason why SkS (to tier) is meld priority
little swift
as it is for most jobs ^
proven bay
Does SAM have positionals?
little swift
yes
little swift
but they're for gaining bonus kenki rather than bonus potency
