#

Except for that guy. He's weird.

naive kraken Jul 30, 2020, 2:38 AM

#

ive never used a macro for crafting

magic beacon Jul 30, 2020, 2:38 AM

#

You're weird.

stone viper Jul 30, 2020, 2:38 AM

#

I think I'm a weirdo too

#

I like figuring out macros though

magic beacon Jul 30, 2020, 2:38 AM

#

You day 1 macro ChEaTeR

naive kraken Jul 30, 2020, 2:39 AM

#

always worried an excellent is gonna mess up a macro

magic beacon Jul 30, 2020, 2:39 AM

#

Exactly

simple shore Jul 30, 2020, 2:39 AM

#

Excellent only messes up your macro

#

if you're using a shitty macro

stone viper Jul 30, 2020, 2:39 AM

#

But yea so I guess ishgardian stuff is the catch up mechanic while also being the grindy content for Crafters who have nothing else to do?

simple shore Jul 30, 2020, 2:39 AM

#

a good macro is immune to excellent messing it up

magic beacon Jul 30, 2020, 2:40 AM

#

Ive used the same copy paste macros to try and make the relic tool crafts

#

They fuck it up every time

#

Manual crafting, all the way

simple shore Jul 30, 2020, 2:40 AM

#

Yes, most of the macros being shared around are shitty.

magic beacon Jul 30, 2020, 2:40 AM

#

Its faster anywah

#

I can press actions faster than the wait.2 wait.3 macros can go anyway

little swift Jul 30, 2020, 2:40 AM

#

i made my own macros to craft the relics anyways GWaobloChildPepeShrug

warped nest Jul 30, 2020, 2:41 AM

#

You can use Tricks of Trade to safety net bad Excellent proc

simple shore Jul 30, 2020, 2:41 AM

#

Yup. Which is why i said. Shitty macros.

#

idk why but 99% of the "popular shared macros" dont do it.

magic beacon Jul 30, 2020, 2:41 AM

#

Or just not need to use ToT at all and be efficient with your CP

simple shore Jul 30, 2020, 2:42 AM

#

No Solar

stone viper Jul 30, 2020, 2:42 AM

#

Because they're probably trying to be short macros?

#

Won't "good" ones just be pretty long

magic beacon Jul 30, 2020, 2:42 AM

#

I crafted all my relic tools without ToT once

simple shore Jul 30, 2020, 2:42 AM

#

We're talking about TotT being in the macro to prevent Poor from occuring on Byregot's

obsidian patio Jul 30, 2020, 2:42 AM

#

If you’re scared of poors breaking your macro split the end part into its own

#

And you use a different version to avoid the poor

magic beacon Jul 30, 2020, 2:43 AM

#

Meh, to each their own

naive kraken Jul 30, 2020, 2:43 AM

#

just manual and you dont have to worry about any bad timed procs

magic beacon Jul 30, 2020, 2:43 AM

#

I dont like macros, so i just craft by hand and use procs to my advantage

simple shore Jul 30, 2020, 2:43 AM

#

You stick it in right before the step before byregots. I.e.

/ac "Tricks of the Trade" <wait.3>
/ac "Great Strides" <wait.2>
/ac "Byregot's Blessing" <wait.3>

stone viper Jul 30, 2020, 2:43 AM

#

Someone could die in those extra 3 seconds

magic beacon Jul 30, 2020, 2:44 AM

#

It can be fun to try and figure out what to do next when you get a proc in an odd place

simple shore Jul 30, 2020, 2:44 AM

#

if condition is normal, it just fails and move to great strides. if condition is Excellent, it triggers, Poor pops up on Great Strides, and back to Normal for Byregots.

naive kraken Jul 30, 2020, 2:44 AM

#

its one thing if you're spam crafting lower stuff but i'd never use a macro on 3-4 star current lev crafts

magic beacon Jul 30, 2020, 2:44 AM

#

Crafting is a fun little puzzle to solve

#

If you solve it with clever automation then okay cool nice job

stone viper Jul 30, 2020, 2:45 AM

#

Has the skill changes simplified manual crafting at a high level or is it largely the same

magic beacon Jul 30, 2020, 2:45 AM

#

If you solve it by hand cool nice job

#

Its pretty simple i think

#

Manipulation is still key

obsidian patio Jul 30, 2020, 2:45 AM

#

Simplified a bunch of stuff

magic beacon Jul 30, 2020, 2:46 AM

#

Manip + prudent touch is god mode

simple shore Jul 30, 2020, 2:46 AM

#

Macros cant press the wrong button, and when i'm 50 crafts in to a stack of 100 crafts, i'd rather not rely on my judgement, heh.

obsidian patio Jul 30, 2020, 2:46 AM

#

Only a few actions still have failure rate since steady hand got removed

magic beacon Jul 30, 2020, 2:46 AM

#

Eh i fail a few here and there because i got careless but its fine

obsidian patio Jul 30, 2020, 2:46 AM

#

Hasty Touch, Rapid Synthesis, Patient Touch, and the Touch/Synthesis that combo with Observe

naive kraken Jul 30, 2020, 2:47 AM

#

the best thing was the auto HQ on stuff 10 levels below your level, worst thing was the mastery 3 stack costs durability now, IMO

simple shore Jul 30, 2020, 2:47 AM

#

Eh, the auto HQ on lower level stuff is convenient, but it also killed the market for all non-ShB crafts

stone viper Jul 30, 2020, 2:48 AM

#

Really? I'm crafting everything while leveling

#

And there are so many niches

#

I'm sering

magic beacon Jul 30, 2020, 2:48 AM

#

The worst part of crafting is Specialization is completely useless

stone viper Jul 30, 2020, 2:48 AM

#

Seeing

obsidian patio Jul 30, 2020, 2:48 AM

#

I mean you could already HQ anything from the previous expansion if you tried at baseline gear of current expansion

simple shore Jul 30, 2020, 2:48 AM

#

Yes. Specialization has gotten completely stupid

obsidian patio Jul 30, 2020, 2:48 AM

#

SE just made it a single button

magic beacon Jul 30, 2020, 2:48 AM

#

Like...i wanted to be a specialist goldsmith/armorsmith

#

And i am...but i dont feel like it

simple shore Jul 30, 2020, 2:48 AM

#

Though to be fair

#

I prefer the current system over the old

#

because fuck everything about that relic phase where you needed specialist-only crafts

magic beacon Jul 30, 2020, 2:49 AM

#

📎 unknown.gif

simple shore Jul 30, 2020, 2:49 AM

#

that was hell

stone viper Jul 30, 2020, 2:49 AM

#

Is that your perspective as a macro crafter or in general?

simple shore Jul 30, 2020, 2:49 AM

#

Old specialist system was busted because alot of recipes were tied specifically to being a specialist in that

magic beacon Jul 30, 2020, 2:50 AM

#

As a combat player it was unfair

simple shore Jul 30, 2020, 2:50 AM

#

and uh, SE then saw fit to make it so that everyone needed shit from it

celest herald Jul 30, 2020, 2:51 AM

#

Is striking gear for Sam?

simple shore Jul 30, 2020, 2:51 AM

#

Yes

stone viper Jul 30, 2020, 2:51 AM

#

i mean combat-only players always seemed like they were just going to be beggars regardless; usually the case in my static

#

statics*

mossy tartan Jul 30, 2020, 2:51 AM

#

I’ve seen some screenshots of players having temperance’s wings while doing another action in group posing. How can I do that?

stone viper Jul 30, 2020, 2:51 AM

#

but i guess solo combat only players might've been fucked

simple shore Jul 30, 2020, 2:53 AM

#

The problem is that the prices were insane because of the way it was set up. I made alot of gil off of it too, of course, but because every specialist was needed to finish it, anyone who didnt craft basically either went broke getting that stage done, or they didnt get it done.

naive kraken Jul 30, 2020, 2:54 AM

#

i mean i make 70 or less gear for friends, can HQ easy now or buy if its really cheap on MB

stone viper Jul 30, 2020, 2:55 AM

#

i mean, with crafting gear being so dirt cheap now I basically skipped 1-2 stages of gearing up; it was nice but it was also kind of :/ worthy

#

before I would actually do some of the content to save gil or whatever

#

but I did have some gil saved up so maybe its just cheap relatively

#

but ffxiv hasn't really been about the gearing up mentality compared to other mmos so its w/e

magic beacon Jul 30, 2020, 2:58 AM

#

Imagine if raid gear had random rolls

stone viper Jul 30, 2020, 2:58 AM

#

i just hope i can be excited for a patch as a crafter after leveling up stuff

magic beacon Jul 30, 2020, 2:58 AM

#

shiver

naive kraken Jul 30, 2020, 2:58 AM

#

no

stone viper Jul 30, 2020, 2:58 AM

#

lol

naive kraken Jul 30, 2020, 2:59 AM

#

i dont typically do anything above regular and i know that would be bad

magic beacon Jul 30, 2020, 2:59 AM

#

It would ruin the game tbh

wanton shadow Jul 30, 2020, 3:02 AM

#

I'm level 48 and need 300k xp to get the last few msq

#

I've done my level roulette, what's the fastest way to get 300k

simple shore Jul 30, 2020, 3:02 AM

#

If i wanted shitty RNG on my gear, i'd go play Retail WoW

#

no thanks

stone viper Jul 30, 2020, 3:02 AM

#

probably squadron

simple shore Jul 30, 2020, 3:03 AM

#

@wanton shadow just queue Aurum Vale

stone viper Jul 30, 2020, 3:03 AM

#

if you're dps should do squadron

simple shore Jul 30, 2020, 3:03 AM

#

I highly doubt someone who is on level 49 MSQ

#

has squadron

stone viper Jul 30, 2020, 3:03 AM

#

oh

#

hahaha

wanton shadow Jul 30, 2020, 3:04 AM

#

dont even know what aurum vale is

#

only started this week

stone viper Jul 30, 2020, 3:04 AM

#

no more side quests?

#

or you skipping that shit

#

i thought the pacing of leveling should be straightforward

magic beacon Jul 30, 2020, 3:05 AM

#

You can FATE grind in North Thanalan

stone viper Jul 30, 2020, 3:05 AM

#

like no going back and doing old content until you're leveling other jobs

simple shore Jul 30, 2020, 3:05 AM

#

@wanton shadow go to Western Thanalan (x12, y14) and pick up the quest "Going for Gold"

#

that will unlock Aurum Vale

naive kraken Jul 30, 2020, 3:05 AM

#

i was almost 70 by end of ARR patches

wanton shadow Jul 30, 2020, 3:05 AM

#

I'm on a preferred server and I'm still under leveled lol

simple shore Jul 30, 2020, 3:05 AM

#

that....shouldnt be possible

wanton shadow Jul 30, 2020, 3:06 AM

#

yep...

simple shore Jul 30, 2020, 3:06 AM

#

Unless you just did ALOT of things wrong

wanton shadow Jul 30, 2020, 3:06 AM

#

on goblin

#

how could I have

#

I

#

Iv'e just done every msq

#

I've*

simple shore Jul 30, 2020, 3:06 AM

#

The only way i could see you being underlevelled is if you swapped jobs repeatedly

wanton shadow Jul 30, 2020, 3:06 AM

#

I got an archer to 30 thats it

simple shore Jul 30, 2020, 3:06 AM

#

if you have Road to 70 its literally impossible to fall behind MSQ

#

unless you swap jobs

wanton shadow Jul 30, 2020, 3:06 AM

#

I wore exp items too

#

I dunno

#

oh well

#

wish there was a way to mark my map

simple shore Jul 30, 2020, 3:07 AM

#

There is

#

Control + Right Click

magic beacon Jul 30, 2020, 3:07 AM

#

L1+ Square

how long do timecards last?

Two years from the date of purchase

mental garnet Jul 30, 2020, 3:19 AM

#

newegg should be fine as a retailer, right?

lime geode Jul 30, 2020, 3:37 AM

#

Where do Australians purchase their cards/time? The mogstation subscription is in Euro, which means foreign transaction fees.

#

I assume I shouldn't purchase cards from a US site since I'm technically Euro area. Just wondering where to get them or what's cheapest to continue my sub.

mortal fulcrum Jul 30, 2020, 3:43 AM

is there a penalty for leaving dungeons when you're running it with npcs instead of players

what are the most useful items that I can get for company seals?

#

I've been stocking on venture coins, but I don't know if I'm missing something else that's important

oak ice Jul 30, 2020, 3:45 AM

#

Some relic quest materials can be bought for seals

#

But other than that it only really has glam and some very specific crafting materials

white gorge Jul 30, 2020, 4:09 AM

#

so how do i register

violet star Jul 30, 2020, 4:09 AM

white gorge Jul 30, 2020, 4:09 AM

#

I mean

#

when i try to log in

#

square enix

#

oh damn thanks a ton for that! @violet star

#

@unreal aspen if you have shadowbringers use trust or play dungeons with grand company members

#

imo the best way to get used to stuff was dungeons and actually using them, and those ways no one can be mad at me

oak ice Jul 30, 2020, 4:41 AM

#

@lavish vortex the hardest part is getting through Pagos. From Pyros onwards Eureka is relatively enjoyable and there are Discord servers dedicated to doing Baldesion runs to make it easier to get

lavish vortex Jul 30, 2020, 4:43 AM

#

Thanks!! I haven’t touched eureka yet, I’ll start by doing that! Is there any good guide or tips to start?

oak ice Jul 30, 2020, 4:44 AM

Find a group is the best advice I can give you. Grab some people from the fc and do the challenge logs as best as possible, then join fate trains

@unreal aspen when I redid my bindings I just went and soloed some lower level trials to get used to them

oak ice Jul 30, 2020, 4:45 AM

The difference between even having just like 2 more people with you and going solo is night and day

lavish vortex Jul 30, 2020, 4:45 AM

@oak ice this I can do before getting into eureka? Or after?

oak ice Jul 30, 2020, 4:45 AM

#

It's inside Eureka

#

They are 4 separate zones that you progress through

lavish vortex Jul 30, 2020, 4:46 AM

Oh ok, I see... kind of like potd? Like it is another structure/map and leveling system kind of?

leaden ginkgo Jul 30, 2020, 4:47 AM

are the Lv 50 artisan's weapons from the grand company worth it?

oak ice Jul 30, 2020, 4:47 AM

#

It's designed to emulate old school MMOs, so if the grind becomes overwhelming, feel free to take breaks

#

Correct

#

Those are not worth it, Reasons, just level to 51 and buy npc gear

#

You're gonna outlevel it so fast anyway

Could be the other elevator. Limsa has two.

The other isn't really an elevator

talk to him and if it says "airship landing" click it

halcyon glen Jul 30, 2020, 4:53 AM

i go to Gridania for everything that isn't the market board

dreamy shuttle Jul 30, 2020, 5:01 AM

#

when I'm leveling should I worry about gear or just equip whatever the MSQ throws at me

#

I feel like I hit like a wet noodle

oak ice Jul 30, 2020, 5:01 AM

#

Equip the highest item level you can get your hands on

#

What level are you?

#

And what item level is your weapon?

dreamy shuttle Jul 30, 2020, 5:02 AM

#

29, 24

oak ice Jul 30, 2020, 5:02 AM

Then it's not terribly far behind

Wet noodle from low level effect

robust crow Jul 30, 2020, 5:03 AM

is there a way to chat command into a linkshell

#

like /n for novice network

#

or /fc for free company

lime geode Jul 30, 2020, 5:04 AM

the MSQ provides plenty of gear, you shouldn't need to buy any

dreamy shuttle Jul 30, 2020, 5:04 AM

I'll try to listen to it again I guess

halcyon glen Jul 30, 2020, 5:06 AM

#

Cinder Drift's music is the Primals cover of ||Ultima||, so the lyrics are actually those from the orchestral version of that song

slate crow Jul 30, 2020, 5:06 AM

#

What are the pros and cons of Pugilist? 🤔

halcyon glen Jul 30, 2020, 5:07 AM

#

The relevant actual line is ||"Beat, the Heart of Sabik"|| but it sounds like "Big fat tacos supreme" or similar because Primals.

remote lintel Jul 30, 2020, 5:08 AM

#

@slate crow pros: its fast and easy and you punch things

#

cons: its boring

halcyon glen Jul 30, 2020, 5:09 AM

#

As I understand it:
Pros -
punch
punch fast
cons-
every move is a positional
is still a melee

remote lintel Jul 30, 2020, 5:09 AM

#

the positional thing isnt hard once you get it

halcyon glen Jul 30, 2020, 5:10 AM

#

melee as a whole tend to get sad for out mechanics or similar and this game loves those

elfin edge Jul 30, 2020, 5:10 AM

#

it also gets a bit easier once there's someone tanking the enemy

remote lintel Jul 30, 2020, 5:10 AM

unless the tank keep flipping it around

If you exit the game, then turn on the game again, do you come back to the exact place you left?

simple shore Jul 30, 2020, 5:24 AM

#

Yes

#

Unless you were in a dungeon

oak ice Jul 30, 2020, 5:24 AM

#

Barring very specific instances, yes

#

You're thrown out of houses, for example

gloomy mortar Jul 30, 2020, 5:25 AM

#

How do you throw someone out of your house?

oak ice Jul 30, 2020, 5:26 AM

#

The server kicks you out of the house when you log out

#

So you just end up outside when you log in again

#

Oh, wait

#

You can block strangers from entering your house, if that's what you were asking lol

gloomy mortar Jul 30, 2020, 5:27 AM

#

So if you’re having a wedding, and someone is being a disruption, can you select one person to be kicked out?

#

Can you block specific people from entering your house or just all guests?

halcyon glen Jul 30, 2020, 5:28 AM

#

weddings are... something else

oak ice Jul 30, 2020, 5:28 AM

#

Not sure, you might have to add the guests to your friend list and block non-friends, but there might be more filters

#

They would still be able to enter your garden, obviously

halcyon glen Jul 30, 2020, 5:35 AM

And they cost all of, what, one drop from 80/expert roulette in seals?

gloomy mortar Jul 30, 2020, 5:46 AM

Is there a way to tell if ‘unable to invite to party’ is because they’re offline, in restricted area, server, blacklist etc?

#

What are "Evaluation" leves?

#

Is it like

#

collectibles?

craggy scarab Jul 30, 2020, 5:50 AM

#

how long would it take to rank up a DoL from level 1 to 80?

dense pier Jul 30, 2020, 5:51 AM

#

Diadem makes leveling DoL very easy

#

but you gotta finish most of Heavensward for that

#

Infact

#

Diadem makes short work of crafting level 1-60

craggy scarab Jul 30, 2020, 5:54 AM

#

ah ok

#

thought doing DoL would be useful so i don't need to buy most of the stuff to rank up DoH

dense pier Jul 30, 2020, 5:54 AM

#

Definitely do it

craggy scarab Jul 30, 2020, 5:54 AM

#

i like to gather and craft things myself in other MMOs lol

dense pier Jul 30, 2020, 5:55 AM

#

I can't speak for DoL, but you level up quick in there especially if you use those +exp gathering

#

With Diadem mats

#

You can go from 10-60 with any crafter class

halcyon glen Jul 30, 2020, 5:55 AM

#

Is it better to level Miner/Bot before or while leveling crafters?

dense pier Jul 30, 2020, 5:55 AM

#

in about 30 minutes

#

You want to level them all at once tbh

craggy scarab Jul 30, 2020, 5:55 AM

#

damn that's quick

dense pier Jul 30, 2020, 5:55 AM

#

Because at some point you're going to need to gear for your miner/botanist

#

If I had to point out though

#

the ones you want to focus

craggy scarab Jul 30, 2020, 5:56 AM

#

i was trying to rank up goldsmithing but holy shit some ingots are expensive asf

#

so i signed up to the miners guild to go mine them for myself

dense pier Jul 30, 2020, 5:56 AM

#

BSM > CRP/GSM > WVR > LTW > ARM

#

Out of all the professions I feel that, BSM is the strongest since it can make tools for most of the other professions

#

and GSM is the strongest 1-50 because it can make +CP +GP

#

but that changes after ARR

craggy scarab Jul 30, 2020, 5:57 AM

#

what's BSM? (sorry fairly new lol)

dense pier Jul 30, 2020, 5:57 AM

#

Blacksmithing

craggy scarab Jul 30, 2020, 5:57 AM

#

ah ok

dense pier Jul 30, 2020, 5:57 AM

#

I want to say that, ARM (Armorer) is mostly useless...

craggy scarab Jul 30, 2020, 5:57 AM

#

really?

#

why?

dense pier Jul 30, 2020, 5:58 AM

#

Because, it only makes tools for a couple professions, you aren't going to be crafting your own battle armor while leveling

#

The only thing that comes from ARM is "plates"

craggy scarab Jul 30, 2020, 5:58 AM

#

very stark difference from other MMOs where armour is highly sought after

dense pier Jul 30, 2020, 5:58 AM

#

Well

#

That's because

#

WVR (Weaver) and LTW (Leatherworker)

#

also make armor too

#

WVR and LTW, as well as making battle armor, also make gather/crafter armor

craggy scarab Jul 30, 2020, 5:59 AM

#

so ARM is just for tanks?

dense pier Jul 30, 2020, 5:59 AM

#

Uh

#

It has some melee in there

craggy scarab Jul 30, 2020, 5:59 AM

#

if so that would be useful to me because i'm a tank main lol

dense pier Jul 30, 2020, 6:00 AM

#

You aren't going to be crafting your own armor

#

until 80

#

At the end of every expansion (So, 50/60/70)

#

There is "poetic" gear

#

Where you farm poetics (dungeon currency) like candy

craggy scarab Jul 30, 2020, 6:00 AM

#

i just use the set i get from the job quest

dense pier Jul 30, 2020, 6:00 AM

#

and get near-bis gear

craggy scarab Jul 30, 2020, 6:00 AM

#

except at 50

#

i use that ironworks gear

dense pier Jul 30, 2020, 6:00 AM

#

Yeah

#

That's why you won't be cvrafting your own armor until 80

#

ALC is good for making mats for other professions

#

and it makes some unique buffs

#

CUL, while possible to level without it

#

is very, very powerful

craggy scarab Jul 30, 2020, 6:02 AM

#

i saw you only listed DoH crafts, how is the order of usefulness for DoL?

dense pier Jul 30, 2020, 6:02 AM

#

The food from CUL can make crafting super easy

#

Eh

#

I would argue

#

MIN > BOT > FSH

For the fact that mining gets you stuff that lets you boost BSM easily which lets you craft strong tools.

BOT is for crafting armor for gatherers/crafters

craggy scarab Jul 30, 2020, 6:03 AM

#

what is fishing for?

dense pier Jul 30, 2020, 6:03 AM

Well, it's for fish

craggy scarab Jul 30, 2020, 6:03 AM

#

oh

dense pier Jul 30, 2020, 6:04 AM

#

Some of them are used in ALC recipes, which are used in almost every craft

how do i get a leve?

#

when i talk to the guy he turns me away

dense pier Jul 30, 2020, 6:05 AM

#

Leves are given in zones at safeareas

#

Oh

#

Idk

remote lintel Jul 30, 2020, 6:05 AM

#

you unlock leves at your starting city

dense pier Jul 30, 2020, 6:05 AM

#

I think there is a bluequest somewhere to unlock leves

#

and then you have to unlock leves per zone

#

but it cost a leve to unlock

#

so don't unlock zones that you won't be using

craggy scarab Jul 30, 2020, 6:06 AM

remote lintel Jul 30, 2020, 6:19 AM

you use it when you stop moving

To unlock your class' job you need to be level 30, complete all of your class quests and the main scenario quest 'Sylph Management' (lvl 20 quest) to be able to pick up your job unlock quest. Once you've done the initial unlock quest, you will be given a soul crystal which you must equip to become your class' job.

faint flare Jul 30, 2020, 6:24 AM

#

Yes

remote lintel Jul 30, 2020, 6:24 AM

#

they dont care

jade quartz Jul 30, 2020, 6:24 AM

#

No such thing

remote lintel Jul 30, 2020, 6:25 AM

#

nobody cares

limpid lantern Jul 30, 2020, 6:25 AM

#

Alright kool ^^

jade quartz Jul 30, 2020, 6:25 AM

#

That’s dumb

faint flare Jul 30, 2020, 6:25 AM

#

You cant tell the difference

#

Really

jade quartz Jul 30, 2020, 6:25 AM

#

Yeah

warped nest Jul 30, 2020, 6:25 AM

#

Some do, only because they are idiots

jade quartz Jul 30, 2020, 6:25 AM

#

I have literally never heard of so daft a thing

#

There’s no way to tell ingame

#

Anyway

dense pier Jul 30, 2020, 6:26 AM

#

What can I use yellow gather/crafter scrips at 80 for...?

remote lintel Jul 30, 2020, 6:26 AM

#

there are some people who are like "pc plays objectively better"

limpid lantern Jul 30, 2020, 6:26 AM

#

@jade quartz it happens a lot in other games where there is no crossplay eveb

#

Whats the best place to look for a friendly and active FC ? In game or on reddit or something ?

remote lintel Jul 30, 2020, 6:27 AM

#

could check the recruitment channel here

jade quartz Jul 30, 2020, 6:27 AM

#

It happens in games with very young player bases of kids who’ve centred their identity around a hunk of technology

#

You can try to meet people organically ingame

#

Or find a person with an FC with recruitment applications open

#

There is a free company search function on the official lodestone website

remote lintel Jul 30, 2020, 6:28 AM

#

or wait around limsa for someone to inevitably advertise their fc

dense pier Jul 30, 2020, 6:28 AM

#

Correction

limpid lantern Jul 30, 2020, 6:29 AM

#

Alright ^^ ill check those options out

dense pier Jul 30, 2020, 6:29 AM

#

Wait around Limsa for some~~one~~ asshat to send you an invite without saying anything

limpid lantern Jul 30, 2020, 6:29 AM

#

Yeah i dont accept random invites xD

#

Ive gotten 6 already for a FC named "Ben Dover"

remote lintel Jul 30, 2020, 6:30 AM

#

thats great

#

almost as good as that roegadyn i saw in a sonic the hedgehog cosplay

limpid lantern Jul 30, 2020, 6:31 AM

#

The best joke i have seen so far is the au ra race joke in correlation to jojo bizarre

#

Still works for me xD

normal breach Jul 30, 2020, 6:37 AM

#

someone explain raiding to me

remote lintel Jul 30, 2020, 6:37 AM

#

cry

normal breach Jul 30, 2020, 6:38 AM

#

like why are there people recruting for "statics" that happens 3-4 times a week for 3 hours at a given time?

#

are raids not like dungeons where you just que and get paired with randos

simple shore Jul 30, 2020, 6:38 AM

#

No

remote lintel Jul 30, 2020, 6:38 AM

#

no you dont

#

theyre not that easy

simple shore Jul 30, 2020, 6:38 AM

#

Statics are pre-formed groups of players who take on the content

remote lintel Jul 30, 2020, 6:38 AM

#

they require intense coordination which youre unlikely to get with randos

normal breach Jul 30, 2020, 6:38 AM

#

and they practice 3-4 times a week for what?

simple shore Jul 30, 2020, 6:38 AM

#

Savage cannot be done with 7 randos who have no evaluation of their knowledge of the fight lol

remote lintel Jul 30, 2020, 6:38 AM

#

to clear it

normal breach Jul 30, 2020, 6:39 AM

#

how long does a raid take to complete

simple shore Jul 30, 2020, 6:39 AM

#

That depends on your skill

remote lintel Jul 30, 2020, 6:39 AM

#

like around 10 mins each fight

#

for the fight itself

#

but takes hours to learn

#

hours and hours

normal breach Jul 30, 2020, 6:39 AM

#

why does it take hours

simple shore Jul 30, 2020, 6:39 AM

#

The hardest content (Ultimates, like The Epic of Alexander) can take 100+ hours of work for a static to learn

remote lintel Jul 30, 2020, 6:39 AM

#

because they're hard

normal breach Jul 30, 2020, 6:39 AM

#

is there a helpful youtube guide linked anywhere

remote lintel Jul 30, 2020, 6:39 AM

#

raids are like this

#

you MUST be doing optimal damage for your class and you really should not die

#

half the boss attacks are insta kills

#

if you have more than 2 deaths you're unlikely to clear it

#

because you wouldnt be doing enough damage

simple shore Jul 30, 2020, 6:40 AM

#

There's some mechanic, back to back to back to back - usually if you fail a mechanic, at minimum you will instantly die, and more likely you'll kill the entire group.

remote lintel Jul 30, 2020, 6:40 AM

#

there are dps checks

#

there are hardly any attack tells

#

you need to be in certain formations for mechanics

turbid crystal Jul 30, 2020, 6:41 AM

#

for fights like that, what gears do you get out of it?

remote lintel Jul 30, 2020, 6:41 AM

#

the best gear in the game

simple shore Jul 30, 2020, 6:41 AM

#

Like, it would be easier for you to see than to try and tell.

#

Let me see if i can find a good example

turbid crystal Jul 30, 2020, 6:41 AM

#

and there's no other way to get it right?

simple shore Jul 30, 2020, 6:41 AM

#

Yes

remote lintel Jul 30, 2020, 6:41 AM

#

not currently

normal breach Jul 30, 2020, 6:41 AM

#

are all raids set up like that or only the lvl 80 ones? i have the bahamut raid unlocked (lvl 50 i think) but i havent done it - will that take me 100+ hours to learn and is there a static i join for that too?

remote lintel Jul 30, 2020, 6:41 AM

#

all raids

simple shore Jul 30, 2020, 6:41 AM

#

No

remote lintel Jul 30, 2020, 6:41 AM

#

i mean

#

all savage raids

simple shore Jul 30, 2020, 6:41 AM

#

Old raids are not like that because everyone unsyncs them

#

BUT

remote lintel Jul 30, 2020, 6:41 AM

#

bahamut is basically savage dont do it

simple shore Jul 30, 2020, 6:41 AM

#

if you were to do them SYNC'd

#

then it would be just as hard

#

It wouldnt take 100 hours to learn fucking COil tho

remote lintel Jul 30, 2020, 6:42 AM

#

bahamut is the outlier in that it's not labeled as savage but it's basically savage difficulty

simple shore Jul 30, 2020, 6:42 AM

#

lol

remote lintel Jul 30, 2020, 6:42 AM

#

normal raids are easy tho

proud willow Jul 30, 2020, 6:42 AM

#

You can have a single level 80 run you through the Bahamut raids unsynced if you want to see the story

simple shore Jul 30, 2020, 6:42 AM

#

Assuming the level 80 is capable. Not everyone can do it.

#

Gotta have that burst for T9

remote lintel Jul 30, 2020, 6:43 AM

#

note that normal mode raids are casual content and savage mode raids are endgame content

#

theyre not the same

#

you can queue for normal raids

#

you can't queue for savage

normal breach Jul 30, 2020, 6:45 AM

#

are all raids basically end game? like i should hit 80 and beat shadowbringers before worrying about raids?

remote lintel Jul 30, 2020, 6:45 AM

#

you cant do lvl 80 raids without beating shb

#

its story locked

proud willow Jul 30, 2020, 6:46 AM

#

normal raids below 80 are still active because they're in roulettes. Savage raids below 80 have some people unsyncing them to farm them occasionally, for glamour/mounts

remote lintel Jul 30, 2020, 6:46 AM

#

savage raids are endgame but normal raids arent

proud willow Jul 30, 2020, 6:47 AM

#

and the normal raids and alliance raids prior to 80 are pretty fun, and some are linked into some of the ShB plot in a way

simple shore Jul 30, 2020, 6:47 AM

#

@normal breach Okay so...this is a pretty decent video that might give some perspective on Savage. This is Kefka / God Kefka Savage from back in Omega in Stormblood. No narration, just in game sounds. It gives you a good idea of how much is going on - and keep in mind that any time you see someone moving somewhere, they're moving there for a purpose. And yes that fight took ~20 minutes total to clear, which was normal back then.

i was gonna show e2s

simple shore Jul 30, 2020, 6:50 AM

I figured Omega raids are less spoilery since its just old FF bosses

#

heh

white ether Jul 30, 2020, 6:50 AM

#

Does general metallic brass die work?

remote lintel Jul 30, 2020, 6:50 AM

#

yes?

white ether Jul 30, 2020, 6:50 AM

#

Because it’s saying general but the dye says metallic brass

normal breach Jul 30, 2020, 6:50 AM

#

do people do 32 man raids or not really?

simple shore Jul 30, 2020, 6:50 AM

#

32 doesnt exist

remote lintel Jul 30, 2020, 6:50 AM

#

there are no 32 man raids

normal breach Jul 30, 2020, 6:50 AM

#

whats the one

remote lintel Jul 30, 2020, 6:50 AM

#

@white ether "general" doesnt really mean anything

normal breach Jul 30, 2020, 6:50 AM

#

thats not 8

remote lintel Jul 30, 2020, 6:50 AM

#

24

simple shore Jul 30, 2020, 6:51 AM

#

24 man. 24 man is casual content

#

You can queue for that blind and usually get through it fine

remote lintel Jul 30, 2020, 6:51 AM

#

and then theres the 56 man dungeon haha

#

but we dont talk about that

normal breach Jul 30, 2020, 6:51 AM

#

what are 24 man raids called? or also raids?

remote lintel Jul 30, 2020, 6:51 AM

#

alliance raids

simple shore Jul 30, 2020, 6:51 AM

#

Alliance Raids in the DF

normal breach Jul 30, 2020, 6:51 AM

#

like in duty finder where are they split off

#

kk

simple shore Jul 30, 2020, 6:51 AM

#

They're under Raids tho

white ether Jul 30, 2020, 6:51 AM

#

What’s the difference between general and metallic brass dye

normal breach Jul 30, 2020, 6:51 AM

#

bahamut is not 24 right?

remote lintel Jul 30, 2020, 6:51 AM

#

alliance raids = 24 normal raids = 8

#

no it isnt

simple shore Jul 30, 2020, 6:52 AM

#

Coils of Bahamut are 8

remote lintel Jul 30, 2020, 6:52 AM

#

@white ether one is tradeable/sellable and the other isnt

white ether Jul 30, 2020, 6:52 AM

#

Could I use general to dye my armor?

remote lintel Jul 30, 2020, 6:52 AM

#

yes

white ether Jul 30, 2020, 6:52 AM

#

Cuz i ain’t trying to spend 100k

remote lintel Jul 30, 2020, 6:52 AM

#

they function the same

normal breach Jul 30, 2020, 6:52 AM

#

what does it mean when people say something like E5s vs E8s? Guessing its a level on a certain raid?

remote lintel Jul 30, 2020, 6:52 AM

#

e5s = 5th eden raid, savage

#

e8n = 8th eden raid, normal

simple shore Jul 30, 2020, 6:53 AM

#

So like, the current raid has 4 bosses, each one is one wing

#

so the number is the wing

normal breach Jul 30, 2020, 6:53 AM

#

so theres 8 wings?

remote lintel Jul 30, 2020, 6:53 AM

#

currently for eden

little swift Jul 30, 2020, 6:53 AM

#

at the moment yes

#

8 floors

remote lintel Jul 30, 2020, 6:53 AM

#

theres going to be 12

little swift Jul 30, 2020, 6:53 AM

#

last 4 will come out in 5.4

normal breach Jul 30, 2020, 6:53 AM

#

and u can join anyone?

simple shore Jul 30, 2020, 6:53 AM

#

4 from the original release, 4 from the latest, and 4 more will be added in 5.4

remote lintel Jul 30, 2020, 6:53 AM

#

for normal mode you can just matchmake

normal breach Jul 30, 2020, 6:53 AM

#

like bahamut coils has like 5 or so different dutys

simple shore Jul 30, 2020, 6:54 AM

#

I mean, you can join anyone, technically - but Savage groups are going to have some.....requirements

normal breach Jul 30, 2020, 6:54 AM

#

is it similar to that

remote lintel Jul 30, 2020, 6:54 AM

#

you have to clear each floor to unlock the next

normal breach Jul 30, 2020, 6:54 AM

#

like each coil is its own wing

remote lintel Jul 30, 2020, 6:54 AM

#

yes

#

they all basically follow the same formula

#

except bahamut

simple shore Jul 30, 2020, 6:54 AM

#

Bahamut is weird because it has 5 wings in its first set

little swift Jul 30, 2020, 6:56 AM

#

bahamut is also unlike current day normals, as its difficulty can be considered savage level

modest jetty Jul 30, 2020, 6:56 AM

#

Are all the others more consistent with part count?

remote lintel Jul 30, 2020, 6:56 AM

#

yes

simple shore Jul 30, 2020, 6:56 AM

#

Yeah everything from HW onward had 4 wings per release, totalling 12

little swift Jul 30, 2020, 6:56 AM

#

yes we've only have 12floor raid series

#

since then

#

and will likely continue this trend

#

since squenix tends not to change what works

#

12 normal raids

#

3 alliance raids

#

6-7 trials?

simple shore Jul 30, 2020, 6:57 AM

#

then 12 savage versions

#

and 1 ultimate

little swift Jul 30, 2020, 6:57 AM

#

2 ultimates

simple shore Jul 30, 2020, 6:57 AM

#

And now we have this new difficulty which, well

little swift Jul 30, 2020, 6:57 AM

#

the next one will be in 5.5

simple shore Jul 30, 2020, 6:57 AM

#

i'm not sold on but we'll see

little swift Jul 30, 2020, 6:58 AM

#

if they don't change mechanics, the fight will just be the same as before

#

:/

simple shore Jul 30, 2020, 6:58 AM

#

Yeah exactly

remote lintel Jul 30, 2020, 6:58 AM

#

i dont think theyre changing mechs

#

just scaling up

simple shore Jul 30, 2020, 6:58 AM

#

Its like "cant we just go do sync'd or min-iLvL Shiva EX already"

little swift Jul 30, 2020, 6:58 AM

#

having done the fight synced i don't know how i feel about it yet

#

i guess being able to use your current level abilities would be nice

#

but maybe one change or another phase would spice things up

simple shore Jul 30, 2020, 6:59 AM

#

I just dont see how that doesnt make it too easy in comparison though

little swift Jul 30, 2020, 6:59 AM

#

the mechanics in comparison hit harder, not everyone you play it with will know the fight

#

its still new fresh content to some people, especially those who've only down it unsynced

remote lintel Jul 30, 2020, 7:00 AM

#

i dont think its meant to be that hard

simple shore Jul 30, 2020, 7:01 AM

#

Right, i just dont get where it fits into everything

rigid oracle Jul 30, 2020, 7:01 AM

#

Maybe off topic but I heard that FFXIV is becoming F2P up to level 60, and the last time I played was in 2013. Today I logged in and checked my account status and it's like this, does anyone know if I can play for free with this account or it needs a subscription?

📎 Capture.PNG

#

Actually I don't even remember if I bought the game back then or what

warped nest Jul 30, 2020, 7:02 AM

#

It is not going F2P

#

It is expanding its existing free Trial

#

So new player can play the free trial up to lvl 60 contents

#

It was capped at lvl 35

simple shore Jul 30, 2020, 7:03 AM

#

TL;DR if you ever owned the game or sub'd, that account is not valid for it. Also.....unless i'm reading that wrong...doesn't that indicate that you're still subbed?

rigid oracle Jul 30, 2020, 7:03 AM

#

I don't see any option to check my current account status except that page ^^ don't know what it means

#

From what I remember I think I only played a month up to level 4x

I think it might have been another promo back in

Log into mogstation and click here

rigid oracle Jul 30, 2020, 7:06 AM

#

Really don't remember but I guess not eligible to play up to level 60 anymore

little swift Jul 30, 2020, 7:06 AM

#

the old old trial, from what i know had an end date to it, before they updated it

#

used to be 14 days

simple shore Jul 30, 2020, 7:07 AM

it looks like I have the original game I guess

little swift Jul 30, 2020, 7:11 AM

you're not eligible for the trial on that account

simple shore Jul 30, 2020, 7:11 AM

#

Yeah you bought the game

#

You would have to make a new account to play the trial

#

But if you do that - you'll have to re-buy the game, FYI

#

if you decide you want to go past 60

rigid oracle Jul 30, 2020, 7:11 AM

hey just started the game like 2-3 weeks ago. I concentrated heavily on MSQ and the job quests but I'm collecting all the time a way too much of the grand company currency. Any tipps what I can spend on while on lower rank? I used to spend it on tokens/ventures (idk the correct english translation), is there sth better?

simple shore Jul 30, 2020, 7:17 AM

#

Use the currency to get promotions

#

until you cant

#

Then keep doing it

Oh this is possible?!

Well, i cant speak from experience, but from what I'm reading it looks like Tonberry on the Elemental datacenter (Japanese DC) is the "unofficial" Southeast Asia server. That may or may not be good advice though, i'm literally just relaying what i'm seeing.

Never post in in-game chat information you have gleaned from using ACT

that's half of what out sam does haha

Freestyle SAM's are a meme for a reason.

bitter plaza Jul 30, 2020, 7:25 AM

thats a very clear demonstration of ACT usage

#

oh dear

errant zinc Jul 30, 2020, 7:27 AM

just curious, what are you talking about?^^ what's ACT and what's about the 8k / 9k?

simple shore Jul 30, 2020, 7:28 AM

#

ACT is a 3rd party program that can show you DPS information.

#

Its sort of a 'dont ask dont tell' thing

little swift Jul 30, 2020, 7:28 AM

#

ACT is Advanced Combat Tracker

aaaaah, alright;-) thanks

little swift Jul 30, 2020, 7:28 AM

8k/9k dps at max level is not particularly great for a dps job

not that we judge

but I guess it only makes sense in the later game? I'm just made it to the credits of 2.0

Its a necessary thing.

#

It doesn't even matter unless you are doing savage/Ultimate seriously

simple shore Jul 30, 2020, 7:30 AM

#

Because the hardest content in the game requires you to be able to beat certain DPS thresholds

#

Thus, you have to be able to know if you are or arent

#

etc.

little swift Jul 30, 2020, 7:31 AM

it doesn't even matter in savage, but people do like getting additional information

so weird question
What do i do with my Zeta and Lux?

Hence SE doesnt exactly.....go out of its way to do anything about it, but if you post in-game about it, particularly in a derogatory manner, they're gonna swing the banhammer

Soft rephrase

#

I got my replicas

#

I still have the OG

#

What i do with it

warped nest Jul 30, 2020, 7:32 AM

#

Keep the OG in case you fat fingered and remove the replica

leaden ginkgo Jul 30, 2020, 7:32 AM

#

Do you need the OG to buy replicas?

#

Cus remember you can't u se the OGs to Glamour

warped nest Jul 30, 2020, 7:33 AM

If you don't have it in possession, how the game tells if you are eligible to buy the replica?

leaden ginkgo Jul 30, 2020, 7:33 AM

...I'd... assume quest and cutscenes progresion?

warped nest Jul 30, 2020, 7:34 AM

OK, discard them then

if you have the achievement you can buy the replicas

Do you use melee RDM abilities if they are not enhanced ? Or if you have enough energy to enhance one ?

simple shore Jul 30, 2020, 8:48 AM

#

Never

limpid lantern Jul 30, 2020, 8:48 AM

Or do you just save up all untill 80/80 and then spend all

Yes

#

Alright

#

Trying to figure out my rdm hotbar atm

simple shore Jul 30, 2020, 8:48 AM

#

Though Moulinet is a bit of an exception since its not part of a combo

#

That can be used as you get it, or you can save up to do a bunch in a row

#

Both methods can be appropriate depending on the situation

slate arrow Jul 30, 2020, 8:49 AM

#

That and Reprise are not part of any combos

limpid lantern Jul 30, 2020, 8:49 AM

#

Yeah thats the AoE one right ?

#

The moulinet

simple shore Jul 30, 2020, 8:49 AM

#

Yes

slate arrow Jul 30, 2020, 8:49 AM

#

yes

simple shore Jul 30, 2020, 8:50 AM

#

Reprise, on the other hand....its basically a "i'm going to cap my mana but i cant combo yet" / "i need to move right now" ability

#

its also not melee when enhanced, which is misleading because the unenhanced one is

slate arrow Jul 30, 2020, 8:51 AM

#

More often than not it's because you have to cancel your cast because the boss is dropping AoEs on top of you and/or mechanics

Hey I just got to heavensward and I'm interested in astrolgian but I've never tried a healer class before. Is it necessary that I try one out before picking it up?

slate arrow Jul 30, 2020, 8:53 AM

#

no

simple shore Jul 30, 2020, 8:53 AM

#

Its not necessary, but Astro is probably the hardest one to figure out, of the three

slate arrow Jul 30, 2020, 8:53 AM

#

to maximize DPS

#

to just heal? It's basically WHM. just target the tank when you need to heal and use your healing buttons

simple shore Jul 30, 2020, 8:54 AM

#

I mean, if you're not gonna use cards on an AST you may as well not even be there

#

lol

slate arrow Jul 30, 2020, 8:54 AM

#

Yeah, but you're making it sound scarier than it needs to be

#

You can learn to use cards after you understand how to heal and you don't feel oh god the tank isn't topped off they're gonna die any second anxiety

#

plus, below 50? That card is like, 1- maybe 2 points of damage at most

simple shore Jul 30, 2020, 8:56 AM

#

WHM is objectively easier. That's my only point. If someone can be "scared" by "AST is the most difficult of the three" well....

#

Yeah that's it

simple shore Jul 30, 2020, 8:57 AM

#

which everyone in that role has

#

It has nothing to do with gaining them from another class

hallow grove Jul 30, 2020, 8:58 AM

#

Ohh okay good, so that isn't relative

#

So I can just pick up astro and be able to learn everything. I just thought it was weird because I saw some skills on the wiki that's like "level 8"

#

Is it advised to use veraero 1/2 and verthunder1/2 to get more white/black mana or jolt/scatter

slate arrow Jul 30, 2020, 8:59 AM

#

depends on AoE or Single Target

There's an FAQ somewhere

Yeah i have that pic and basically using 1 or 2 is single/aoe but aero/thunder generate a single tye while jolt/scatter do both

simple shore Jul 30, 2020, 9:00 AM

#

Huh?

#

No no no, you alternate

#

i.e.

agile laurel Jul 30, 2020, 9:01 AM

#

you lose out on potency

slate arrow Jul 30, 2020, 9:01 AM

#

as a DPS your job is to do Damage

agile laurel Jul 30, 2020, 9:01 AM

#

usual 'why doesn't red mage work like this' questions can be answered by 'it does less damage' or 'it's slower'

simple shore Jul 30, 2020, 9:01 AM

#

Veraero 2 -> Scatter -> Verthunder 2 -> Scatter

#

Like that

#

you alternate to keep your gauge balanced

slate arrow Jul 30, 2020, 9:02 AM

#

The intended way is to hardcast jolt/aero 2/thunder2 into aero1/thunder1/scatter

simple shore Jul 30, 2020, 9:02 AM

#

Its extremely important that you do not build up too much of one mana type without the other

agile laurel Jul 30, 2020, 9:02 AM

#

i think an imbalance of 40 really fucks up your generation

slate arrow Jul 30, 2020, 9:02 AM

#

It does

agile laurel Jul 30, 2020, 9:03 AM

#

you can get away with a lot but like, don'ttryit.gif

simple shore Jul 30, 2020, 9:03 AM

#

If you do, you'll see the crystal on your gauge go pure white or pure black. This will severely hamper the gain of the other type of mana

limpid lantern Jul 30, 2020, 9:03 AM

#

Alright so from what i understand is i do jolt for lower cast time then instant veraero then jolt then verthunder

simple shore Jul 30, 2020, 9:03 AM

#

Yes essentially

slate arrow Jul 30, 2020, 9:03 AM

#

Or verstone/verfire If those are up

simple shore Jul 30, 2020, 9:03 AM

#

if you proc Verstone/Verfire, you use them instead of Jolt

dusk zenith Jul 30, 2020, 9:04 AM

#

how do healers signal who they are raising in party chat when they raise?

agile laurel Jul 30, 2020, 9:04 AM

#

macros

dusk zenith Jul 30, 2020, 9:04 AM

#

i want to use one for savage raids

limpid lantern Jul 30, 2020, 9:04 AM

#

There are no aoe versions of verstone and verfire right ?

simple shore Jul 30, 2020, 9:04 AM

#

Correct

dusk zenith Jul 30, 2020, 9:04 AM

#

can someone give me a quick macro for it pls

agile laurel Jul 30, 2020, 9:04 AM

#

Yep

#

To that extent, acceleration in aoe is 110% useless

simple shore Jul 30, 2020, 9:05 AM

#

The only thing that changes for your AoE later

#

is that on 2 targets, once you get Impact (this upgrades/replaces Scatter), you do Jolt -> Impact

agile laurel Jul 30, 2020, 9:05 AM

#

because only with the impact upgrade do you have enough potency to make this worth it

limpid lantern Jul 30, 2020, 9:05 AM

#

So the single target basics consist out of jolt/veearo/verthunder with verstone/verfire if they proc, if AoE i replace the 1 by 2 soells and jolt by scatter

agile laurel Jul 30, 2020, 9:06 AM

#

if you only have scatter, just do the single target strings on both targets

simple shore Jul 30, 2020, 9:06 AM

#

I mean, that's wrong but i think you understand

#

because

agile laurel Jul 30, 2020, 9:06 AM

#

watch it, aoe is ver II > scatter

#

short > long

simple shore Jul 30, 2020, 9:06 AM

#

You start with the 2 spells, and end with scatter

#

for AoE

#

Verthunder 2 -> Scatter -> Veraero 2 -> Scatter

limpid lantern Jul 30, 2020, 9:07 AM

#

Ah ! I didnt see the CD's where the other way around on the aoe

simple shore Jul 30, 2020, 9:07 AM

#

Yes, Scatter is the slow spell

limpid lantern Jul 30, 2020, 9:07 AM

#

Sorry but then i think i understand yeah

#

And things like fleche and other oGCD when they are off cooldown i geuss

agile laurel Jul 30, 2020, 9:07 AM

#

if you're ever hardcasting something over 2 seconds you're doing it wrong

simple shore Jul 30, 2020, 9:07 AM

#

Yes but ONLY after you dualcast a spell

agile laurel Jul 30, 2020, 9:07 AM

#

generally

simple shore Jul 30, 2020, 9:08 AM

#

So like this :
Jolt -> Verthunder -> Fleche

#

Do NOT do this : Jolt -> Fleche -> Verthunder

#

That is clipping and wasting uptime

not an awful lot

limpid lantern Jul 30, 2020, 9:08 AM

simple shore Jul 30, 2020, 9:09 AM

#

It can but not usually

slate arrow Jul 30, 2020, 9:10 AM

#

single target stuff plus orange AoE? Probably

#

Unavoidable raidwide damage? Nah.

simple shore Jul 30, 2020, 9:10 AM

#

Weaving / Clipping is significantly more important - and also more difficult to master - on casters. Though RDM is the easiest to learn how to do it on because their cast times are so short.

#

and they have an instant every other cast, which gives them lots of weave windows

#

Weaving on a BLM on the other hand, is much harder to learn

slate arrow Jul 30, 2020, 9:11 AM

#

You basically have to clip to weave in most major instances

#

You only get a brief window normally and that's when you swap between ice and fire

Quick guide to weaving/clipping

Click the image, then 'Open original'

simple shore Jul 30, 2020, 9:12 AM

#

Clipping is when your oGCD delays your next cast.

#

i.e. bad

#

So on RDM you want to be using your oGCD's after dualcasts, or during your melee combo

which is the easiest dps and tank to play

and can i play higher content without a naga type mouse?

obsidian patio Jul 30, 2020, 9:58 AM

#

Yes. People play on controllers too

#

As for easy classes, I generally recommend Marauder/Warrior for an easy to play tank, while for DPS Lancer/Dragoon has a very gradual learning curve.
