obsidian patio
yeah all asts want 30 seconds now due to sleeve draw change
agile laurel
yeah for an opener divination you need 30sec for the CD of draw

I mean, does it matter how long the countdown is? Are people going to be 
if I put it at 30 seconds?
proud willow
in casual content, possibly yeah
obsidian patio
if you don't have an ast in the group then just go with 15 seconds
cerulean grove
where do i find the pet summoning ability? i used the whistle
obsidian patio
for dungeons I just go with 15 regardless or just not bother with a timer

when there is no danger that being suboptimal will cause you to hit enrage, a longer timer is just making the instance longer

Do mouseover macros work like regular abilities if you use a keybind instead of the mouse over?
marble drift
are you under the impression that "mouse-over macros" trigger when you simply mouse over the skill?
because thats not a thing
you put your mouse on a player and hit the bind and its target will be whatever your mouse is hovering over at the time of key press
player or place I suppose
open coral
^ this basically.
Mouseover macros simply eliminate the need to physically click on your target, not the need to press the ability button.
leaden ginkgo
If I’m on balmung and my friends on goblin can I craft them gear or no?
agile laurel
yes
obsidian patio
they're on the same datacenter so yes
marble drift
heh. if they actually worked like I described in the first situation the best ability rotation would just be whoevers better at osu!
XD
proven bay
Oh, yeah I misunderstood then
So if I don't mouse over someone then that means I use the ability on myself as I normally would
open coral
Yes, not having your mouse over a target would automatically default to the default target (you) for "help" abilities and would trigger the "no valid target" error for "harm" abilities.

Okay, thanks

How do I unlock dungeons in the duty finder?

@spiral idol Yes, but if you're on NA servers, you're dealing with NA time.

And in NA it's between 4:30am (west coast) and 7:30am (east coast).
Best case scenario, you'll get a group in under 30 minutes. Worst case, you should try again around reset in 3.5 hours.

it just sucks that I have to do this

honestly grinded 12 hours of MSQ for HW today

Hey, Quick thing, i'm currently trying to make some collectables, i'm a 61 Carpenter, but i cannot find the Collectable Synthesis anywhere, the entire MSQ is done and The Inscrutable Tastes is done aswell, am i missing something ?

Collectable synthesis as an action doesn’t exist anymore
You now just craft the collectables and it automatically becomes one
leaden ginkgo
Oh my god i've struggling on this for the past 30 minutes on stream ....

If you haven’t done collectables in 5.3 yet they’re in their own category of the special recipe menu

i130 is its Item level

Once you hit 50 and past that the item level of equipment goes above the actual level of the item

obsidian patio
Yes
@heady orbit there’s a lot of different gear types for each set of classes so sometimes a quest may not give something that your current class can use
If that’s the case then pick any of the equipment and either save it for leveling up that class or sell it on the marketboard with your retainer.

That's assuming you've completed the (Hard) versions through the MSQ first.

Odin nobody queues for. Just wait until you outlevel the fight, then unsync it
plain python
what dungeons does duty roulette: main scenario consist of?
open coral
Castrum Meridianum and Praetorium
plain python
super long dungeons with unskipable cutscene 😮
open coral
Yes, but the xp and poetics can be worth it.
They're both worth up to a level and a half pre-60, and about 1/2 level after that with the daily roulette bonus.
plain python
I get stuck at lv60 for a while, but 500 poetic/days doesn't sound bad 😮
open coral
It's worth it especially if you're trying to gear up an alt job (although it's pretty good for main jobs too if you don't mind outleveling the MSQ)
Between MSQ roulette, Alliance raid roulette, and 50/60/70 roulette you can easily get about 1k poetics per day.

Not if you're queueing at normal times it's not.

I just unlocked Astrologian, but I can't equip the class item because it says I need to change to Astrolgian first?? How do I do that?
plain python
you need the soul item?
median locust
Equip the weapon
median locust
And make sure you do have the soul stone
plain sky
yeah the stone applied itself
open coral
For expansion jobs (AST, DRK, MCH, RDM, SAM, GNB, DNC, BLU) the soul stone will be automatically equipped when you equip the appropriate main arm.
plain python
soul item is a bit odd. Is there an upgraded version of it with stat or something?
median locust
No, it's just flavor I guess
open coral
Soul stones are a legacy function.
Lore-wise they're simply an item that contains the memory of one or more individuals who previously held them and who had the associated job, which can impart knowledge to the bearer on how to be that job.

is it possible to make the party window show without someone being in it?

You can actually set your Display Settings for your HUD to always show the party list.

mmm had a look around
can't see it

another question... is there a cheat sheet on what cards I should cast on who when playing an astrologian?
median locust
There's a different outline color based on who they buff, on the class hud
But...
Balance, Spear, Arrow -> Melee DPS
Spire, Ewer, Bole -> Ranged or Caster DPS
plain sky
fuck, I don't know what the class symbols mean yet... how am I supposed to know who is melee vs ranged lol
wispy parcel
Honestly theres rarely a reason to not cast what you have
plain sky
just looking at the class items anyway

Class symbols are basically just rote memorization

The job gauge has a colour board around each card

I need to mod the class textures with colours of what the cards are 😛

somehow I think a couple of texture mods will be fine lol
wispy parcel
So if you do it you really shouldnt talk about it

Its more that it sets bad habits

if you take screenshots of modded game, you have to make sure nothing visiable that can trace back to your character name or account
so beware

Using skins to modify or recolor your UI isn't typically enforced.

Yea its just dont talk about using mods ingame
wispy parcel
Its only enforced if you talk about it in ingame chat
marble drift
Why?
plain sky
it literally just parses log text
marble drift
Why mod in something to prevent you having to remember what class is what
when you could just...remember

because those kinds of things can help you learn

it's like using flash cards to learn a new language

so can just practice?

you wont ALWAYS need the flash cards
but they help you practice
work smart, not hard

Actual gear progression doesnt really start until endgame

is astro more fun in your guys' opinion?

in 3 starter city at lv14, there are 3 that gives you dance emotes
in aleport, there are two that gives you a dog and a cat
plain sky
if by "content" you mean smashing your head against the wall because you want to know why on earth all this game is is pressing ESC and then 0 0 every two minutes
then sure
rotund sable
Yeah there's still content idk what this guy's ranting about
plain sky
I'm just making a joke about how many cutscenes this game has chill out lmao
indigo basalt
is there an active LS or discord group for hunting on Ragnarock?
plain python
well, first-time cutscenes should be watched.
plain sky
only if you care about the story
jade lava
ok so i think i'll probably go WHM until i can get astro and then see how i like that
jade lava
how much bigger is the paid game than the free trial?
plain sky
significantly bigger and better as far as I can tell
plain python
just go ahead with WHM, get used to content. You will retrace the steps to level by the time you get Astro

how exactly are you "supposed" to level when you unlock Astro as all the MSQ's are completed from 30-50?

levelling 60-70 is there any other method besides HoH trying to find a part for 11-20 for like an hour now
median locust
The launcher should be asking you for your login info everytime you open it, no?
slate trail
@median locust aye thx for the clarification ^^
wispy parcel
@oak chasm spamming the highest level dungeon is faster if you are leveling a healer or tank. DPS youre better off just doing HoH
median locust
60-70 roulettes then levelling dungeon spam is good. Some beast tribes on the side can also help
If you have a tank/healer friend to skip queue, that would be ideal
gritty oracle
@oak chasm You gotta clear potd floor 50 and then do a blue quest in quarry
And your class needs to be 61 and up
gritty oracle
Yeah because everyone queues for floor 21-30 because that's where the most xp is. It's usually fast during peak times though.
oak chasm
so i should get up to floor 21 ideally
median locust
after you get to 21-30 once you get a checkpoint so you can always start there
so it's only annoying the first time since other people don't have to do 11-20 first
oak chasm
yeahhh i see what u mean
opaque pewter
We're all of those available at one point or another during their respective events?
zinc orbitBOT
median locust
Most were, yes, but not all
If it says Authentic, it was available during a past event
Not 100% sure about the other items
Deluxe means the same thing
opaque pewter
And reproduction means never released besides in the store?
untold sand
when do i unlock the armory bonus?=
median locust
You don't unlock it
it just exists
It's applied to you as long as you're playing on a Disciple of War/Magic but already have a DoW/M at a higher level
warped nest
!faq armouryexp
zinc orbitBOT
warped nest
So if your highest combat class is a lvl 23 Gladiator, then other combat class will naturally receive the bonus. Say you manage to grind an Archer to lvl 24, now your lvl 23 Gladiator will start receiving armoury bonus because Gladiator is no longer your highest level combat class.
untold sand
um so does that mean the 100% checkmark? under quests? cuz i also has road to 70 mark
i thought road to 70 was the prefered server bonus
untold sand
is road to 70 the prefered server stuff?
median locust
Yep
warped nest
Yes
soft bough
this is a stupid question but what is the wave-like mark beside the name of my item
the item is like shiny
lost fossil
Hi guys, how can i lock the cursor to the camera so i dont have to hold RMB?
warped nest
@soft bough 
this?
green grail
high quality @soft bough
soft bough
yea that logo
gritty oracle
It means the item's high quality and gives better stats
warped nest
Some items (craftable items specifically) has normal quality and high quality variation
gritty oracle
It doesn't affect the appearance of the item
lost fossil
Hi guys, how can i lock the cursor to the camera so i dont have to hold RMB?
@lost fossil i think i accidentally pressed something to do that before but idk how to do it again
soft bough
so it's always better to get the high quality version of the equipment
median locust
For materials, it just means the item will give a small bonus to quality if you use it in a craft
warped nest
Just want to make sure that you know not everything has NQ/HQ version
soft bough
does HQ item drop from dungeons or raids?
faint flare
No
warped nest
HQ gear no
faint flare
Hq is only crafted
warped nest
HQ gears are usually crafted or rewarded from quests
faint flare
But dungeon and raid gear is equal to HQ gear of the same ilvl
warped nest
Again, really really want to hammer in the idea that not all gear has this NQ/HQ thing
If you hover over your HQ gear or item now, you should see a hot key at the bottom of the item description
faint flare
Dungeon/raid gear is essentially already HQ
warped nest
To let you peek the stat for NQ/HQ
soft bough
is crafting a huge part of this game? i havent start on that yet
faint flare
Yes
warped nest
Optional
faint flare
Optional but its basically a different game
cloud lake
Anyone know about gardening?
warped nest
It is useful and can be impactful , but it is not a hard requirement to play/finish/enjoy the game
soft bough
impactful as in? essential for end game content?
warped nest
Yeah
median locust
Nobody knows about gardening, it is a forbbiden art
warped nest
And only for a very specific group of players
median locust
jk but ask your question
warped nest
You can also do crafting for fun
wispy parcel
@soft bough its optional, you cam make your own crafted gear to stay on level or sell shit to become rich off the marketboard
lost fossil
can anyone help me?
warped nest
Crafting/Gathering is a very well made mini game on themselves
gritty oracle
And fishing is pretty much a separate Minigame from botany/mining, it works very diffferently
left moth
I pretend to know how to garden 
(to cross breed to get a desired seed, plant the 2 parent plants every other plot and roll the dice when it's time to harvest)
cloud lake
@median locust My question is. FOr curiel root seeds. It shows krakka root 3 and mirror apple 5 what does that mean on the site? I feel like I messed up on the crossbreed
soft bough
so those monster loots that i have in my inventory are for crafting?
warped nest
Yes
gritty oracle
If it has "Crafting Material" written on it, it's for crafting. But if it has "Shop Selling Price: XX Gil" you can sell it
median locust
Botanist/Miner you go to the spot where your desired item is, you gather enough of it, then you leave. Fisher, you go to the fishing hole where the fish you want is, then you don't get it and cry
gritty oracle
Fishing requires patience and lots of inventory space and lots of gil for baits, but lures are better
warped nest
Crafting is a surprisingly deep mini game on itself, because you don't just press one button and craft anything you want (I know there is quick synth, but that's not the point)
To succeed in crafting, you need to learn crafting skills, and how to use and combine them in a meaningful skill sequence to create high quality products
vale sage
Are lalafels limited in terms of glamour options? Any costume locks?
plush heron
what server is best for a new UK player?
gritty oracle
There's not really any race locked clothes except for starting gear

The only race that has some limitation in glam is Viera

Just some costumes just won't look as good because of lalafell build

gritty oracle
Any on Chaos or Light. I've heard some servers have a larger foreign language community though
vale sage
Is it normal that I want to change from viera to lalafel?
wispy parcel
Its okay that you wish to be a potato
vale sage
I mean, I was deadset on viera, but lalafels are more cuter the more I run into them
warped nest
That's fine
gritty oracle
@vale sage I recommend first "testing out" your new race and look on a retainer via retainer fantasia. Those are much more expendable than actual fantasia.
warped nest
Just swap

primal halo
Hello, I'm new 
was wondering what the drop rate is for dodo meat? Can't find anything online
wispy parcel
Its fine
vale sage
Thanks for the cool tip!
median locust
Definitely give your new race a test drive and do different stuff with it
Like create a character then pick archer to check what their battle voice sounds like
vale sage
Might play as lalafel then switch back to viera or something else at +50 since I don't have access to glamour yet
median locust
glamour is 15
vale sage

warped nest
!faq glamour
zinc orbitBOT

Has it always been 15!?

Is there a website that has item drop rates?

Always have been

Omgggg
tulip plover
How do you find the gathering gear sellers in the field
median locust
I think that changed in Stormblood? 3 years ago

Did not know, thank you hahaha
warped nest
I always thought that it is the recipe for glamour prism
And glamour is just level 15 all along...
Oh well
primal halo
um..can anyone answer my question
warped nest
Is there a website that has item drop rates? :cinder11Think:
@primal halo no
Any numbers are estimated at best
icy jay
Why are the end game missions only giving me 3 bronze things that are worth 100 each
median locust
There's no accurate item drop rates anywhere
icy jay
Is something wrong or something
warped nest
How do you find the gathering gear sellers in the field
@tulip plover look for NPC in towns or settlements, see if they sell it
primal halo
Okay thank you! Sorry, I'm just getting frustrated with these dodos >.>
warped nest
Why are the end game missions only giving me 3 bronze things that are worth 100 each
@icy jay??? Which mission?
Squadron mission?
icy jay
The last 5 end game main story mission, and everything after it
hot eagle
can buy it from npc Iirc if u mean dodo tenderloin it's 28 gil for 1 @primal halo
warped nest
Lvl 50 quests?
icy jay
All of a sudden they stopped giving me the 2,500 token and started giving me the 100 Gil token
Yeah
There Something wrong or something, cause that's a 100 til is a terrible reward for level 50 quests
warped nest
If the quest is just you moving to a new location and talk to a new NPC
The reward is not gonna be great
vivid thorn
are there mechanics from Shinryu that return in ShB?
icy jay
All of the missions are like that though
warped nest
Yes
Lvl 50 is a long string of post ARR quests
Serving as the epilogue for ARR
And prologue for HW
They were probably tuned to not shower you with money
icy jay
Back when I was doing small level 40 quests I still getting 500-2500 Gil per quest, why does it drop to 100 when I do level 50 quests
warped nest
are there mechanics from Shinryu that return in ShB?
@vivid thorn earth shaker... Ummm.. Tidal wave... Akh morn or mon afah (I forgot which is which)
median locust
both return anyway
warped nest
Instead of saying Shinryu has returning mechanics
I would say Shinryu uses existing mechanics and combine them
limpid lantern
What was the reset timer help command ?
vivid thorn
is it worth grinding then?
lavish prism
Sorry but where can I go to find a Free Company? I'm on Ragnarok
warped nest
Don't grind and practice mechanics for future fights
They will be presented and combined with different mechanics
median locust
/r/FFXIVRECRUITMENT or #recruitment-chaos in this Discord
warped nest
Just practice that version of the mechanics in the actual fight it appear in
median locust
or hang out in major cities and look for FC advertisement shouts
lavish prism
Ok thanks
vivid thorn
but grinding and practicing mechanics from previous fights did work for me hence the question
icy jay
Does anyone play on gungir, I'm try to find some free companies, but I have yet to find a single person play on that server
warped nest
Answering this once and for all, aside from a few very difficult Ultimate/Savage mechanics, all other mechanics will eventually get repeated in different variations
vivid thorn
but some more than others
warped nest
(even the ultimate/savage mechanica might eventually find their way to other contents)
vivid thorn
if it means I should grind O4/8S so be it
warped nest
If you insist on practicing, you do you
median locust
nobody does that
warped nest
My opinion is, just practice the mechanics on the actual fight
median locust
nobody goes to old endgame fights just to practice mechanics that'll come back later
warped nest
Don't practice a different version of a similar mechanic on a different fight
It worked for them
And this is the second time I have answered it
median locust
The best practice for future content is, you know, doing said content, lol
warped nest
If they want to play it this way, it is their choice
regal heath
I mean you can practice a "type" of mechanic on older content, moving, spacing, dodging, whatever
Its just really fucking redundant to actually do it
vivid thorn
I'm concerned about trials now
median locust
why would you be
warped nest
You are worrying too much
median locust
it's expected that if you're new you're going to fail mechanics
vivid thorn
because I have trusts for dungeons going forward
warped nest
Nobody expects you to be perfect on the go
regal heath
Pretty much all the content in this game is easy as fuck
vivid thorn
even savage?
regal heath
Because its balanced around console players
warped nest
Everyone makes mistakes
regal heath
High end stuff is hard, because its just tuned like crazy
But I wouldnt be worrying about Savage
warped nest
That's not why it is easy, but whatever
simple pine
https://i.imgur.com/uKZu2WX.png will it become the top one or bottom one?
regal heath
Bottom
median locust
In Savage/Extreme you should read a guide at least, but when doing story stuff and casual content, you don't have to read a guide or practice beforehand
simple pine
you can read it as white will overwrite blue, or blue is what white changes into
vivid thorn
it may be redundant but it worked for me and practicing beforehand did wonders
median locust
then do it
vivid thorn
that's why I want to know precisely which fights have repeated mechs
regal heath
@simple pine But the arrow is pointing down 😉
vivid thorn
and where it comes back
warped nest
Again, they come back in different variations
warped nest
And are almost always combined with different mechanics
vivid thorn
but I NEED practice before I go into ShB
simple shore
No you dont
scarlet arrow
as long as you understand basic concepts ("stack here", "spread these AoEs out", "don't dunk people with things that follow you", etc.) the actual mechanics of a given boss aren't particularly important to know going in (unless it's savage/extreme)
warped nest
You want to
plush heron
is there a guide that can help me decide what class to play?
vivid thorn
wrong
simple shore
You already stated that you're going to use Trusts for dungeons so you dont need anything for that unless you're afraid of being judged by NPC's. The three trials that you will be forced to do for 5.0 MSQ have absolutely nothing you can practice ahead of time which will remotely prepare you.
median locust
It's how the game is designed
plush heron
nice thanks
simple shore
So you're wrong, period.
warped nest
is there a guide that can help me decide what class to play?
@plush heron you can watch a video on YouTube, one sec
wispy parcel
Marjo Ive played this game for 5 years
median locust
4th pin* mb
warped nest
Damn my typo
vivid thorn
I practice it because I know just how much it helps
warped nest
Again, you are free to stick to your routine
simple shore
There is no fight that resembles the 5.0 trials though.
warped nest
We are just saying that we cannot help dissect the mechanics piece by piece
median locust
No one here will or can stop you, but arguing about it makes no sense lol
simple shore
So "practice" is pointless.
vivid thorn
I can more easily handle small variations if I practiced a different version
warped nest
You are setting yourself up in a endless cycle of mechanic practice
simple shore
Okay, and im telling you that the three 5.0 trials dont have "a different version". The mechanics of each of them are fairly unique to them and them only.
Thus practicing is a waste of time
and pointless
vivid thorn
but I'll still be a much better player for practicving
median locust
Either way, don't think arguing with someone who doesn't wanna change their mind is worth the time lol
warped nest
Our opinion is, just practice that version of the mechanics in the actual fight.
simple shore
yeah, if they want to play the game wrong its on them. there is literally nothing that resembles the three trials though.
simple pine
what is the best way to get some extra yellow scrips for level 60 crafter/gatherer besides the custom deliveries? it seems crafting collectible items is quite expensive
vivid thorn
maybe I should just read guides before going in those trials and put off doing new trials until guides are released
median locust
There are people that do that, but know that it's not necessary
simple shore
Unnecessary, but its significantly more logical than "run an unrelated fight hoping it will somehow make you better at it"
vivid thorn
I feel it would have saved me lots of issues
to read guides in full first
I paid the price of it on multiple occasions
warped nest
yeah, if they want to play the game wrong its on them. there is literally nothing that resembles the three trials though.
@Balmerick#3224 never exactly. For example, one of Byakko mechanic is the standard space apart and drop multiple puddles on the small safe zone while boss will shoot a huge ass AOE
scarlet arrow
it's OK to die a lot on a new trial
vivid thorn
but I still should read guides first
simple shore
Lchronos i'm talking about the ShB trials
warped nest
Byakko's variation of this is it is a line AOE, and the puddle in EX don't want to touch
median locust
Nobody at least half a brain will think less of new people for dying to a fight they've never seen before
It's normal
"Paying the price" is fine
you'll die
vivid thorn
I should still read guides in full first
median locust
If you want, it's just not necessary
warped nest
Eh, same angle. Basically, it is futile to try and catalog and practice all variations of boss mechanics because the list will grow exponentially
simple shore
Yeah, i just meant that there's literally no "previous fight" that covers any of the mechs of the three 5.0 MSQ trials.
median locust
I wouldn't
warped nest
Yup, that's the recommendation.... Ehhhh.... Not really necessary for msq
vivid thorn
I feel it's necessary for at least a few of them: Shinryu, Gubal
warped nest
Just type in party "first time, any key mechanics to watch out for?"
faint flare
Without many issues
scarlet arrow
I enjoy going into a new fight blind, but if you don't that's fine
simple shore
Why in the world would you need to read a guide for Gubal.
median locust
You can go through literallly every non-Extreme/Savage fight blind without a single issue. If you wanna die less, just say "Hey I'm new, anything to look out for?"
simple shore
Like i can understand Shinryu....a little bit
faint flare
vivid thorn
Ala Mhigo and Shinryu removed any fun I could have going in blind
faint flare
Fun fact: shinyru was nerfed
vivid thorn
but I still wished to read the guide in full
faint flare
Cause people cant do basic mechanics
median locust
Everyone keeps saying that but I remembered them choosing not to nerf him lol, would you happen to have the patch note for that handy?
rotund sable
i think its polite to know whats going on in fights, if its a new fight then thats different
just means you aren't potentially making 7 other peoples run a pain
simple shore
The point moreso
vivid thorn
I may wish to re-do Shinryu but only after having read the guide first
simple shore
is it literally doesnt matter if you're a DPS, and if you're a tank/healer only if both of them are completely clueless
faint flare
Well actually they didn't but gear is essentially a nerf
vivid thorn
I was undergeared sure
rotund sable
some mechanics can take a group with them but they're pretty rare
faint flare
Idk why i think that
simple shore
Like, every MSQ trial can be dragged to victory with several people who are dead weight.
median locust
Either way, I think we're way far out of the original question which was "Do any of Shinryu's mechanics come back later?"
faint flare
Unless you buy gear from market, shinyru is meant for i290
vivid thorn
I was in, like, 295 and everyone else had full augmented Scaevan or better
simple shore
Thats irrelevant though.
faint flare
Cause you cant get better gear without buying from market
Cause scaven is unlocked after shinyru
simple shore
The whole point is that when you queue these MSQ trials, you get matched with 7 people. More often than not, you will be the only new person.
faint flare
So you're at the ilvl you're meant to be
simple shore
So it really doesnt even matter if you have a clue whats happening.
Case in point, i got Lakshmi yesterday and some clueless healer died 12 times because they never once pressed the button. Didnt matter, cleared in normal time on first pull.
vivid thorn
I still wish for guides because there were mechs I realized I couldn't afford to mess up
deft quiver
does edenchoir belt come from ramuh or somewhere else?
median locust
Yes, Ramuh
deft quiver
is it a rarer drop?
simple shore
The point Marjo, is that in most every MSQ trial, you could be dead for the entire fight and it would not only not matter but nobody would even care.
median locust
No
deft quiver
ive only seen necklace, bracelet, and ring coffers in the past 3 weeks since clear
median locust
Ramuh will drop 3 of these: Earrings, Necklace, Bracelet, Ring, Belt
It can also be dupes.

WHM is just easier to learn and has more flat healing.

are tsuku mats desynthable from the weapons like shinryu?

@wicked night All healers, in an ideal situation, will be doing dps almost as much as they're healing because that's how this game is constructed and balanced. Even WHM gets meme'd as "Glare Mage" because we spend a good chunk of fights spamming Glare (Stone).
hybrid jasper
cloth drop rates are ass
open coral
It's only when the rest of the party can't stop taking damage that a healer will spend more time healing than dpsing

SCH gets it particularly bad because they don't get their first Aetherflow ability until level 45, so they spend 15 levels with just Physick, Adlo/Succor, and Whispering Dawn, none of which hit particularly hard.

And then Indom doesn't show up for another 7 levels after that.

and its a little skewed because it starts there
but samurai before 50?
ughhh kill me

pre-70 you get full gauge + 2 Intuition stacks then dump everything under berserk which feels a little different
