FF14's endgame routine is far less grindy and far less RNG dependent than WoW's in my experience (I haven't played the latest WoW expac though)

robust crow
#

most people's big weekly investments are capping your weekly currency and clearing the savage raids

open coral
#

You can cap currency with just a few days of dungeon roulettes and Normal raid runs.

sage cape
#

thats how I feel with WoW, its takes a lot of time investment to anything decent and getting gear is a nightmare imho

open coral
#

It's maybe a total of 4 or 5 hours investment over the whole week.

robust crow
#

well

#

to give you perspective

#

the current highest ilevel is 530

open coral
#

You also can't get duplicates of the same piece you already have.

robust crow
#

i510 gear is piss easy to get

#

the difference between i510 and i530 is probably between 10-20% output, maybe less

open coral
#

So there's no chance of getting the same thing 10 weeks in a row and never getting an upgrade for the thing you need an upgrade for.

robust crow
#

i520 gear is weekly gated and doesn't require anything high end

#

all i530 pieces currently require high end, but won't in a few months

sage cape
#

I see, from what I've been keeping up with, FFXIV "end game" can be more rewarding

robust crow
#

so if you were a casual, you can expect to be doing only a little bit less damage than a player in BiS

open coral
#

By the time the next expansion rolls around, even the most casual of casual players can theoretically be geared to a similar level as people who do Savage.

#

Gearing in general tends to feel a lot more rewarding in XIV, simply because there's a much lower level of RNG associated with it. Unlike WoW where you might not see something you need for an upgrade drop for five or six weeks in a row, XIV has a system where once you've cleared specific (Savage or EX) content a set number of times, you can simply buy the upgrade with tokens you get on each clear.

sage cape
open coral
#

I know. That was a big reason behind why I quit WoW just last month.

sage cape
#

I ran high keys, raids, getting the vault filled up and 0...

open coral
#

I literally didn't get a belt upgrade for the first four weeks, and I didn't get a weapon upgrade until the day I quit.

strange coral
#

And 14's gear doesn't have randomized stats/traits on them. This one named piece of gear has the same stats as everyone else's of the same name (before adding materia). And no titanforging to worry about.

sage cape
#

they got rid of titanforging, finally, but getting an item..omg...it's so scarce.

robust crow
#

if you are curious

#

I can link you a guide to this tier's first boss

#

so you have an idea what a savage boss looks like

sage cape
#

yeah, send it over man

#

been watching some streams and looks chaotic xD

robust crow
open coral
#

It's funny you say chaotic, but the fact is that XIV raids are actually much more scripted than WoW ones.

robust crow
#

the primary mechanic in this raid is the tiles that happen around 4 minutes into this video

sage cape
dense hound
#

If you have no clue what’s going on or going to happen savage raids are confusing as hell lmao

open coral
#

Let me put it this way: XIV fights, even the Savage ones, are scripted enough that addons like DBM or Weakauras are completely unnecessary (and also not allowed in the game - they're a bannable offense if you get caught).

little swift
#

That said equivalents for those exisy

open coral
#

The only addon that many people use for raiding purposes is ACT, which is a Details!-like parser. But you can't mention if you use it because, as mentioned, you'll get banned.

little swift
#

Cactbot and triggernometry exist

open coral
#

But just like warcraftlogs is a thing... we've got fflogs.com

sage cape
#

you can use that personally? so you can track your performance?

open coral
#

Yes

dense hound
#

Just don’t talk about it ingame

open coral
dense hound
#

It’s a dont ask don’t tell policy

open coral
#

Literally the same as warcraftlogs, just for XIV

sage cape
#

alright, got it

#

it's good tho, WoW mods do too much

#

the only thing left is for those mods spoonfeed you

open coral
#

After ARR, mechanics telegraphs in XIV got a lot more standardized, so it's always going to be fairly obvious what to do with a mechanic.

sage cape
#

some WA's even tell you where to dodge or use a mitigation CD

surreal rapids
#

do i need to do anything to control my partner chocobo?
he's learning skills, he learn one with high enmity but i never see him cast anything special and he never takes aggro

open coral
#

Like four big arrows over someone's head means "stack on this person"

little swift
#

Well fflogs and warcraftlogs are run by the same person

open coral
sage cape
#

I really like how free XIV is, so far, I don't feel punished to pursue other jobs to lvl up or explore some zones

little swift
sage cape
#

and the combat feels really good

surreal rapids
#

i gave him just the first still from tank

#

to see if he'd take aggro a bit

little swift
#

Tank choco is generally the worst

#

It won't aggro more than you

#

Healer and attacker are better

surreal rapids
#

ok, that's good to know

open coral
# sage cape and the combat feels really good

Combat gets a lot more interesting at higher levels too. You get ogcds that will weave in between your gcd abilities for more dynamic rotations. That you, as a person who's played WoW, are finding the combat fun now is very unusual.

#

Most people complain a lot about the 2.5s gcd

sage cape
#

I really like it ahah I find it more easier to track what you're doing and leads less to skills overlap

robust crow
#

ff14 is slower than wow at first

sage cape
#

yeah it was, I felt that at least until lvl 20 - 30

robust crow
#

but ff14 also takes a long time before it becomes "faster"

#

like, level 60-70

#

also, one thing that happens in wow that doesn't happen in ff14 is pooling resources

surreal rapids
#

it'd be great if they shook things up a bit at low levels in the next expansion

robust crow
#

classes like rogues will stand and do nothing for seconds at a time to save energy

#

that never happens in ff14

#

all classes in ff14 universally follows "always be casting"

surreal rapids
#

but with covid, it's even harder to work on this

sage cape
#

true, saving resources for CDs and etc

robust crow
#

you keep your GCD rolling always no matter what

little swift
sage cape
valid iron
#

this isnt really a traditional question but im stuck and cant find one of the battle themes, i dont know what to search for to find it

open coral
sage cape
#

guys btw, thank you very much for the honest feedback. Can't wait to get to max lvl ^^

surreal rapids
#

i meant that if they're already busy with an expansion and an ultimate fight, it's especially hard to divert resources to other stuff, in the current situation

valid iron
# open coral Where did you hear it?

ive heard it multiple places, but the most recent spot i heard it was in the post-stormblood quests, i was doing a duty, and during the 2nd phase of the duty the theme started playing.

surreal rapids
#

i'd just like a wardrobe system like wow and a dungeon journal to give you a tiny refresher on mechanics when you do some really random dungeon in the leveling routlette

valid iron
little swift
#

Wardrobe system probably won't happen

#

But glamour dresser exists

open coral
#

You can check the duty finder to see what you've unlocked if it was a group instance @valid iron

civic spoke
#

Okay, so I've decided to focus on leveling astrologian, red mage, and white mage (and samrai on an alt), so what might be the best way to level these? Astro is level 36, rdm is 56, haven't started white mage yet, and i'm going to unlock sam on my other. I know that's a lot, but I want to have some options so I don't get bored with one class

little swift
#

!faq altlvlguide

zinc orbitBOT
little swift
#

Do msq first and foremost though

dire prawn
#

I knew as soon as I saw the question that Channy was gonna drop the faq

#

@open coral hi there

open coral
#

Hi dead

valid iron
sage cape
#

and every class feels so unique. This is a plus for me

civic spoke
#

well, i'm on my main trying to level other classes, which is the main (heh) problem. i've heard most people do fates and palace of the dead

#

or whatever the gelmorra thing is

robust crow
#

no one does fates

#

if you want to level quickly you'll be following the guide that was linked above

#

in addition to doing dailies

open coral
#

OH, I know what quest you're talking about @valid iron give me a minute to make sure the song I'm thinking of actually plays during the second phase of that.

robust crow
#

palace of the dead is an alternative option

valid iron
strange coral
#

Isn't it the same song that plays for all of the SB dungeon final bosses?

open coral
#

It's not. It's uh. Channy help. I don't remember what it's called.

#

I know the song though.

civic spoke
#

okay, that's a really good guide, thanks

ionic hazel
#

What collectability does Aethersand guarantee an HQ from reduction

little swift
ionic hazel
#

is it only at 1k collectability or

valid iron
#

im honestly not sure, theres a lot of recurring themes in this game so finding one specifically is a pain

robust crow
#

did you ping the wrong person channy

civic spoke
#

one more question: after which quest do i get the iconic astrologian set? i've been looking on wikis, but none of them state which ones give the set

open coral
#

Oh, actually it is the boss theme from SB.

little swift
#

Yes I did lmao fuck phone scroll

open coral
#

Is this your song?

dense hound
#

I believe the job quest at 50 does, Tsukii

little swift
#

Lv60 70 and 80 @civic spoke

dense hound
#

Oh, nevermind

dire prawn
#

phone
KEKW

dense hound
#

Thank you channy

little swift
#

50 gives a generic set

civic spoke
#

damn, all the way at 60? that's going to be brutal

#

thank the gods healer queues pop like crazy though

little swift
#

You only get artifact sets for the jobs from their expansion onwards

#

So red mage only gets 2 sets

dire prawn
robust crow
valid iron
robust crow
#

it's worth going to 1000 even if you're 950

open coral
#

No problem. 😄

little swift
#

1k is the limit

ionic hazel
#

Does it affect the amount you get?

dire prawn
#

My queue times have been exactly 0 LUL

little swift
#

For bonus its nice

robust crow
#

being maxed collectability dramatically increases your chances of getting bonus

little swift
#

Can give a bit more yield

ionic hazel
#

ah figured

robust crow
#

bonus is where the majority of your aethersand is going to come from

little swift
#

Though thats usually rng anyways

ornate owl
#

Did they get rid of having to augment your IW gear?

open coral
#

Yes

robust crow
#

they did

#

it comes augmented by default now

#

they also removed the unique restriction on rings

#

so you can wear two ironworks rings

ornate owl
#

Oh nice!
I was wondering about the rings.
Thank you!

little swift
#

Oof i read slow

sage cape
#

how do you get your chocobuddy? seen some fellas with it but duno how to get it

dense hound
#

There’s a quest you can do in gridania, after getting a chocobo mount

open coral
#

You have to do the level 30 bluequest "My Feisty Chocobo" in Camp Tranquil.

dense hound
#

That’s the bitch

sage cape
#

thx

open coral
#

Almost every bluequest is some kind of content unlock, and worth doing. The exception to that rule would be that you can ignore the "Leves of X" and "So You Want to Be A X" ones.

#

The former unlock levequests, which are basically low level content, and the latter are the class/job unlocks.

ionic hazel
#

Can you use the Job locked glam on the Aesthete gear

open coral
#

Everything else will unlock things like combat chocobos and glamour and additional dungeons or raids.

sage cape
#

alright! I saw it now that blue quest givers also unlock dungeons...no wonder I had so few x')

open coral
#

Most of your dungeons you'll get through the MSQ (one every odd level from level 51 onwards), or upon reaching the patch content for each expansion.

#

The patch dungeons get their own roulette, and don't really give great rewards or xp since they were never meant for leveling purposes.

#

After you finish the level 50 MSQ "The Ultimate Weapon" you'll see a TON of bluequest appear to unlock the level 50 patch dungeons, as well as things like the Binding Coils of Bahamut raid and the Crystal Tower alliance raid.

manic flare
#

what's this outdoor furnishing?

sage cape
#

it was really fun tho

open coral
#

Oh, you're already past that.

little swift
#

Looks like wavesoul fountain

#

Its a crafted

sage cape
#

yeah, Im in Ishgard and that cloud thing

open coral
#

CT used to be optional content, but because it's directly connected to Shadowbringers, they made it required content when they revamped the ARR MSQ.

sage cape
#

had fun on CT

open coral
#

There are raids like CT in each of the expansions.

For reference on where some stuff you.might have missed

sage cape

thank you Channy!

quasi thistle
#

is it okay if i the tank to pull less mobs to get higher safety margin and put less strain on healer even it will result in longer clear time ?

little swift
#

Judge how well your party is doing

#

Theres no firm yes or no answer here

#

If things die really quick there is 0 reason to not pull more at once

open coral
#

As a healer, I would prefer that you, as a tank, set a pace that you're comfortable with.

#

If the dps have a problem with that, they can deal with it.

little swift
#

And safety is rarely an issue unless you're playing incorrectly or the healer is

steep pelican
#

So I just tried Frontline, and I had no idea how to PVP. I play RDM and had issues hitting enemies because they're out of range or die before I can get finish casting a spell. What do you guys suggest I do?

little swift
#

Consider figuring out how your skills work in pvp

#

They may not have the same cast times as they do in pve

#

Your rotation is different too

steep pelican
#

@little swift I'm aware of that, but it's more I'm actually unable to finish a spell or get to them

faint flare
#

Then start casting closer to them

#

Or gap closee in

quasi thistle
#

if healer got less burden and more free cooldown, healer can just do some dps right ? so there is few downside ?

little swift
#

Slidecast as well

wispy parcel
faint flare
#

If you're sure they're going to die then swap targets

steep pelican
#

@little swift slide cast? What's that?

faint flare
#

!faq slidecasting

zinc orbitBOT
#
Slidecast Timing

• Slidecasting is the ability to
move at the end of the cast as the game registers your cast to be complete.
• Mistiming it too early will cause an interruption and moving late will cause your next queued hardcast to get interrupted. (ping relevant)
• Here is a visual (courtesy of Cecilia Atwood) of the estimated time the game snaps the cast to be complete:

wispy parcel
#

so you do have to learn to big pull eventually

little swift
#

You're slowing down a pace means you also have to use more resources to pull

steep pelican
#

Oooh. Didn't even know that had a name or was a mechanic. Thought it was a bug

open coral
little swift
#

Stretching resources thin is not a good way to approach dungeon pulls

wispy parcel
#

Big pulls tend to be a much more effective use for cd's

#

for both tanks and healers

quasi thistle
#

i see some WHM who kinda... "brave" and use holy in the mid of the mob crowd , ended up got hit with 3 layer AoE , died instantly, wiping the entire party

little swift
#

Thats a player issue

open coral
#

That was the WHM's error then.

faint flare
#

^

little swift
#

Holy usage is expected

open coral
#

Not because you pulled wrong.

faint flare
#

White mages are meant to holy

open coral
#

^

faint flare
#

If there's aoes then they're expected to move out

wispy parcel
#

WHM's main thing for mobs is holy spam

faint flare
#

Or hope they're stunned prior and stop the aoes

wispy parcel
#

cause it stuns all mobs up to 3 times

faint flare
#

Holy is white mages strongest healing tool

#

Outside of benediction

wispy parcel
#

theres no better mitigation then making it so enemies cant attack

#

aside from killing them

faint flare
#

You literally give every tank hallowed ground every single pull

quasi thistle
#

Holy stun diminishing return is accumulated with other stun right ?

faint flare
#

Yes

open coral
#

Yes

faint flare
#

Always let the white mage stun

placid bane
#

how long does it take to queue for a frontline roulette at 2021

wispy parcel
#

also if ur a tank, dont neglect to se ur role actions. a lot of bad tanks dont use them despite how good they are

faint flare
#

Varies depending on the time

wispy parcel
#

depends on the time of day

faint flare
#

Faster during peak times

placid bane
#

aigoo

steep pelican
#

@placid bane 5-6 minutes when I did it a half hour ago

placid bane
#

is now not the pig tiem?

#

oh sad, im waiting nearly an hour, maybe becuz im sea

faint flare
#

Depends on data centre region

open coral
#

If you're on JP servers, it's like 3am over there.

#

Not peak time at all.

wispy parcel
#

Yea im pretty sure its still bed time in JP

quasi thistle
#

i kinda use rampart and reprisal a lot Kek

placid bane
#

feels bad

faint flare
#

You're meant to

wispy parcel
#

Use Arms Length too

faint flare
#

You're meant to be using ALL your defensive cooldowns during trash pulls

wispy parcel
#

it slows all enemies who hit you

faint flare
#

One at a time

#

Sometimes pairing weaker cooldown

#

And yes, it includes USING YOUR TANK INVULN

#

ITS NOT AN OH SHIT BUTTON

open coral
#

Yes.

#

Please.

#

For the love of everything holy.

quasi thistle
#

is the defensive cooldown stack ?

open coral
#

Use your invuln, especially if you've just pulled a massive group of mobs.

faint flare
#

Multiplicitively

#

Meaning Rampart + sentinel is like 44% mitigation

#

Not 50%

quasi thistle
#

i kinda use it in turn when the others in cooldown

faint flare
#

As long as you have at least 1 defensive up you're fine

sage cape
#

it stacks!?

faint flare
#

Yes

wispy parcel
#

yea

little swift
#

Not well but they do

open coral
#

Yes, but with diminishing effect.

sage cape
#

ay caramba! thats great

faint flare
#

Everything stacks, except when explicitly stated

#

Again, they stack multiplicitively

wispy parcel
#

you shouldnt do it constantly

open coral
#

Using Rampart + Sheltron + Reprisal (for example) all at the same time on trash isn't generally recommended. Better to use them sequentially.

#

But you might need to do exactly that to survive a tank buster on a boss.

quasi thistle
#

and the panic button, i tend to avoid using it.... i die a lot because of that... as DRK

sage cape
#

alright, got it

faint flare
#

With living dead and Holmgang, tell the healer you're using it Im advanced

#

So they can plan around it

#

And heal it off when it proca

open coral
#

"Into the Beast's Maw"

sage cape
rigid wolf
#

Ok thank you

sage cape
#

it will tell you how to unlock X dungeon

open coral
#

For the majority of dungeons, the answer will be "just do the MSQ"

scarlet arrow
#

the first non-MSQ dungeon is Halatali at level 20, the next non-MSQ dungeon is the Sunken Temple of Qarn at level 35

opaque fiber
#

Is there a way to get notified of sales?

open coral
#

Like when the game goes on sale? They usually announce it on the Lodestone site.

opaque fiber

Is there no way to get a notification or something like that?

Not that I'm aware of.

#

i wonder what is the upside of using PLD skill Holy Spirit ?... they cost a lot of MP, and the damage is so-so?

open coral
#

!action holy spirit

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Holy Spirit** : lvl 64 PLD (4000 MP) (2.5 second cooldown)(1.5 second base cast time)

Deals unaspected damage with a potency of 350.

open coral
#

Good question.

opaque fiber
#

Maybe it's has a combo

shrewd owl
#

!action requisescat

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Requiescat** : lvl 68 PLD (60.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Deals unaspected damage with a potency of 150. Potency increases up to 550 as MP nears maximum.
Additional Effect: Increases attack magic and healing magic potency by 50% if current MP is at 80% or higher , and allows spells to be cast immediately Duration: 12s

shrewd owl
#

Ya use this before holy spirit

#

Ya magic phase

quasi thistle
#

ah... spamable... ?

shrewd owl
#

Yeah you use holy spirit like 5 times before it wears off

quasi thistle
#

um... only on higher level tho ? right ?

shrewd owl
#

Ye

quasi thistle
#

on lower level it didn't have extra effect of no cast

shrewd owl
#

Oh yeah the instacast is like
76 or some shit

quasi thistle
#

so.. bellow 76 holy spirit is kinda... not that usefull ?

shrewd owl
#

Nah so basically
Flight or Fight phase with your normal physical combos
Then after FoF wears off you use requiescat and holy spirit

#

It's a cycle of shifting through a physical attack phase and magic attack phase

quasi thistle
#

with the cost, only enough for 2 cast

faint flare
#

You get 5 out

#

Per requesticat

#

4 + confedditor at 80

#

Even prior to the instant cast

quasi thistle
#

well, i am talking at low level

faint flare
#

Prior to requesticat its not super worth using except when you're away from the boss, essentially replacing shield lob

elfin edge
#

I've seen PLDs use it for doing the first pull on a boss heh

faint flare
#

Yeah basically

quasi thistle
#

pld... kinda have few ogcd skill compared to other tank...

late merlin
#

Hey! i finally unlocked my Machinist, super happy about it!
One question: i stay ranged as much as i can right cus i hear that it plays melee too or something

faint flare
#

No

#

Being max ranged is a dps lost

#

Because you're missing healing and buffs

shrewd owl
#

I usually just stand next to the healer

#

Who is also usually close to the boss

faint flare
#

You stack on the boss's ass unless mechanics say otherwise

#

So you can bait aoes cleanly

!faq job

zinc orbitBOT
#
How do I unlock my job?

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.

little swift
#

this

manic flare
#

did you acquire the spell Manafont @rigid wolf ?

little swift
#

has not changed

manic flare
#

Manafont is spell you get for unlocking the black mage

rigid wolf
#

No

manic flare
#

if you have that spell, that means you've unlocked black mage

little swift
#

then you have not completed everything

rigid wolf
#

I dont

@rigid wolf refer to the faq and make sure you have met every single requirement

rigid wolf
#

Ok. So where do i do taking the black quest?

manic flare
#

can you screenshot your game @rigid wolf

rigid wolf
#

Ossuary?

dire prawn
#

If you don't have that spell then it's back to the Thaumaturge's Guild

manic flare
#

just screenshot your game

little swift
#

its at the thaumaturges guild

manic flare
#

and put it here

#

alot of us are just making assumptions on where you are in the game based on what you are telling us

rigid wolf
#

Im on ps4 take pic of what?

manic flare
#

it's just easier to post a screenshot

quasi thistle
#

on Emergency, Clemency can be used.... i guess ? the most worth is Confeiteor, and the other is not worth when used outside requiescat...

manic flare

of your game screen

rigid wolf

even Confeiteor can't be used outside Requiescat

PLD is the best job for soloing old content

Again. Paladin bounces between a physical phase with Fight or Flights and Magic phase with Requiescat

or when the boss is almost died, and the healer is KO...

that's weird

shrewd owl

Well ur at ul'dah so

rigid wolf

Whats weird

shrewd owl
#

Check the thaumaturge guild

manic flare
#

i didnt know my little chocobo can show up as a class quest

shrewd owl
#

See if there is a new quest

faint flare
#

Because its a MANDATORY quest

rigid wolf
#

There is

#

I see it

faint flare
#

Also do thw chocobo quest like asap

rigid wolf
#

Man thats like hidden tho

shrewd owl
#

Ok yeah thats whre u get the job then

faint flare
#

It unlocks mounts

shrewd owl
#

Well normally it shows at the top left

rigid wolf
#

Ye im on track now

shrewd owl
#

But u got the chocobo quest overriding it

rigid wolf
#

I guess the chokobo thing hid it

faint flare
#

It did

rigid wolf
#

Interrupted

faint flare
#

Because its a very important quest

#

And should be a high priority

rigid wolf
#

Why?

#

The chokobo?

faint flare
#

It unlocks mounts

dire prawn
#

Because mount

quasi thistle
#

well, on lower level PLD is completely Physical....

faint flare
#

You literally cant use mounts without that quest

wispy parcel
#

Yea everything is limited at low level

quasi thistle
#

since even Requiscat is only unlocked at 68...

wispy parcel
#

Dark Knight doesnt even get its main ability till level 70

faint flare
#

Surprise, you dont have your full kit at low level

#

Who would have thought

dire prawn
wispy parcel
#

until 70 Dark Knight is a nominally worse tank then the other 3

open coral
#

That's not true.

#

DRK does just fine at low levels.

dire prawn
#

Aura is tank main SD3_kappacatears

open coral

Even without TBN

TBN is so fucking good tho

What is TBN 🤔

**The Blackest Night** : lvl 70 DRK (3000 MP) (15.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Creates a barrier around target that absorbs damage totaling 25% of target's maximum HP.

Grants Dark Arts when barrier is completely absorbed.
Dark Arts Effect: Consume Dark Arts instead of MP to execute Edge of Shadow or Flood of Shadow

Just because it's good doesn't mean that without it DRK is worse than other tanks at lower levels.

Until 58, PLD uses no MP Kek

wispy parcel

Like PLD getting their gap closer around 30 like everyone else

Healers get gap closers when?

wispy parcel

instead of god damn 74

Or drk aoe combo

Why its 72 when its literally got reworked god knows

little swift
open coral
#

If you're using Clemency regularly, I (the healer) will think you don't trust me.

#

And that makes me Sad.

#

You don't want a Sad healer.

faint flare
#

And wasting resources

open coral
#

We get mean.

wispy parcel
#

the only other tank that uses MP regularly at high levels is DRK

faint flare
#

And you're HP neutral/negative using it

quasi thistle
faint flare
#

You're not actually gaining health using clemency

dire prawn
wispy parcel
#

Clemency is a literal last resort

#

you should never have to use it

faint flare
#

Clemency is just a resource consumer with no gain

wispy parcel
#

it kills ur uptime

quasi thistle
#

like when i using Healer, and i KO at last moment when the boss is around 4%, the PLD saves the day Kek

elfin edge
#

could you use it to proc your own divine veil (or whatever that was called)?

faint flare
#

You can

#

But healers proc it if they need it

elfin edge
#

ah

faint flare
#

If they dont then they didn't need it

warped seal
#

You could. You could also tell the healer to do it and not waste resources like a brain damaged puppy.

open coral
#

^

wispy parcel
#

Indeed

dire prawn
#

brain damaged puppy
KEKW

faint flare
#

Scholars fairy procs it very easily

#

As embrace counts

quasi thistle
#

do regen count ?

faint flare
#

No

#

Has to be a hard GCD proper heal

open coral
#

Generally speaking, assume your healer knows what they're doing unless they prove to you otherwise.

open coral
#

Just because your HP is low doesn't mean the healer is letting you die.

elfin edge
#

hrm I guess places where you'd actually need divine veil are places where the healer should know to use it

warped seal
#

Unless you die.

#

Then the healer is letting you die

open coral
#

Yes dead, what would you like to know @dire prawn

faint flare
#

Usually in raid situations Veils placement is planned

dire prawn
quasi thistle
#

even the healer didn't know, they will most likely proc it without they knowing.... since they always healing tank

wispy parcel
#

theres a fine line between a really good healer and a really bad healer

warped seal
#

Veil also doesn't affect the PLD

#

Just a heads up

open coral
wispy parcel
#

its a utility shield

#

its on everyone BUT the PLD

open coral
#

But do not pre-cast it while they're pulling.

dire prawn
dire prawn
elfin edge
#

the unpulled mob will aggro you

quasi thistle
#

pre-cast regen while pulling, the monster will target you...

open coral
#

If the tank has regen on, but doesn't have aggro on an enemy, the enemy will attack you instead.

wispy parcel
#

You can fuck up the aggro table

little swift
#

its fine to precast regen

#

if your tank isn't a monkey

#

tank stance makes it a joke to pull

elfin edge
#

it just basically means the tank has to be on top of the game in rounding up all the mobs

open coral
#

You're assuming a lot if you expect pug tanks to not be monkeys though.

little swift
#

and if for whatever reason it does aggro to you

#

you should have been sprinting with the tank

dire prawn
little swift
#

just bring it back to them

quasi thistle
#

well, sometimes there is a problem, since regen is 20 second, and there is still left over regen duration

open coral
#

Then you definitely shouldn't precast it, because I'm a monkey tank @dire prawn

wispy parcel
#

since regen is 20 seconds you shouldnt have to cast it more than once per pull

#

so it shouldnt ever be an issue

quasi thistle
#

when i cast regen, then the battle is over with 12 sec regen leftover, the tank is very active, and pull the next mob immediately while regen still active... duh...

open coral
#

If that's the case, you have a decent group and nothing to worry about.

dire prawn
#

Does Regen heal enough during normal pulls to not require me to use Cure II on the tank 🤔

open coral
#

Sometimes.

#

If the tank isn't a monkey.

wispy parcel
#

depends on the group of mobs

dire prawn
#

Well uhh

gentle gorge
#

Monkeys can tank

dire prawn
#

My next dungeon is Stone Vigil

wispy parcel
#

I've been on both sides of this spectrum

dire prawn
#

What kinds of mobs does that have

wispy parcel
#

Tank and Healer

open coral
#

Regen's gonna help you a lot in there.

#

Do you want me to come with you for SV @dire prawn ?

wispy parcel
#

Stone Vigil is pretty ez

dire prawn

I'm only on the WHM spectrum KEKW

wispy parcel
#

then again all dungeons are ez

dire prawn
open coral

I mean, I could simply not log in.

dire prawn
#

True

open coral

Then I'd have executed my power of choice, wouldn't I.

dire prawn
#

But then you wouldn't be playing

little swift
#

aura has other characters

open coral
#

You're assuming that I'd have to log in on a character that you could ask me to help you with.

#

😄

#

I could log in on my JP server character, then what would you do?

#

I'd be on a whole different datacenter.

#

And region.

dire prawn

JP alt SD3_kappacatears

open coral
#

We're getting off topic here though.

quasi thistle
#

i wonder how many regen can stack ? as far as i know, i once found there is 2 Regen Stacks and 2 Medica II stack at same time, and the Tank is feels like on steroid with super Overheal

open coral
#

That's as far as it can go in a standard 2/2/4 party build.

#

2 Regen + 2 M2

faint flare
#

Pretty much all regens stack

quasi thistle
#

what about in alliance raid ?

#

6 Regen Stack ? Kek

faint flare
#

Including same named regens from same jobs

#

Yes

#

Yes they do

wispy parcel
#

Its why they are so ez

open coral
#

Although usually healers from other alliances are focusing on their parties.

obsidian patio
#

All of WHM’s HoTs stack as much as they want

open coral
#

Regens stack, shields do not.

obsidian patio
#

It actually used to be a cheese tactic in early 2.x PVP. Just be 8 white mages and keep up Medica 2 and Regen on everyone.

quasi thistle
#

if all 6 WHM give regen to single tank, i guess no active healing needed... just rely on HoT.... Kek

faint flare
#

A good number of shields stack, just not GCD shields

obsidian patio
#

It was extremely hard to kill someone who was regenerating basically their entire hp every 3 seconds

faint flare
#

Like noct helios/succor

dire prawn
open coral
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

dire prawn
#

You said when you encounter it in MSQ it's another healer check dungeon

dire prawn
#

And my weapon is still 10 levels below me ;-;

open coral
#

Yeah, that happens.

obsidian patio
#

Nah.

open coral
#

At least it's not level 18 though.

obsidian patio
#

Regen stacking won’t stop you from being one shot

#

Also, DPS checks

faint flare
open coral
#

7 WHM and 1 tank for Savage. Let's make that happen.

faint flare
#

I remember a full Healer O1S

wispy parcel
#

I mean

manic flare
faint flare
#

Or at least a no tank O1S

wispy parcel
#

u wouldnt pass the first DPS check

gleaming mist
#

o1s was unique in that it had no a very piss easy dps check

dire prawn
#

What is dps check 🤔

faint flare
#

Basically no check KEKW

gleaming mist
#

people did a 4man o1s later in the expac

faint flare
#

Where you need to kill the boss in a time frane

#

Or you automatically die

wispy parcel
open coral
#

@dire prawn A dps check refers to a mechanic where you have to do a certain amount of damage within a set amount of time.

faint flare
#

Aka if you dont kill this thing in 30s, you automatically die

open coral
#

Usually failing a dps check means you're going to wipe.

manic flare
#

what's the earliest example of a dps check in this game?

open coral
#

Ifrit

manic flare
#

are there any in ARR and HW?

dire prawn
#

I was about to say

#

That sounds like Ifrit

faint flare
#

Ifirit nails

dire prawn
#

WIth his Infernal Nail spawn

manic flare
#

oh yeh

faint flare
#

If you dont kill the nail you die

open coral
#

The Infernal Nail in Bowl of Embers is technically a dps check.

wispy parcel
#

the DPS checks that are actually worth a damn are all in savage

manic flare
#

what about one where u have to kill the boss

dense hound
#

A laughable one but a DPS check nonetheless.

manic flare
#

not the adds

quasi thistle
#

in the past, on Early HW update, Odin Fate is still very Crowded, and there is a LOT of DoT stack on it Kek

faint flare
#

Hard enrages came in coils and extremes

dense hound
#

That's usually called Enrage.

obsidian patio
#

Extreme Garuda or Coil

open coral
#

@manic flare ||Ultima Weapon in Praetorium||

manic flare
#

which version

open coral
#

Yes. The second round.

#

After it teleports it starts casting Ultima.

#

If the cast goes off, it's a wipe.

wispy parcel

He dies so fast you dont even see the cast bar a lot of the time

#

but its there

manic flare
#

i've never experienced it

wispy parcel

back when the game was new

faint flare
#

With trash/afk people

wispy parcel
#

a lot

open coral
#

It used to happen a lot as recently as Heavensward.

wispy parcel
#

Praetorium was actually hard once upon a time

obsidian patio
#

You don’t see it anymore with overgearing the fight

manic flare
#

what happened

open coral
#

But with power creep it's basically gone.

obsidian patio
#

Remember, Praetorium was balanced around i45-ish gear

manic flare
#

why don't they impose a item level sync for prae

open coral
#

Gear/power scaling for players is balanced oddly.

#

For those last two instances.

dense hound
#

And most people (if they've DONE THEIR JOB QUESTS LIKE THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO) have ilvl 90 or so.

open coral
#

Wow. You're assuming people do their job quests.

#

That's a bold assumption.

faint flare
#

Well you kinda have to to even get the ilvl for the instance

leaden ginkgo
faint flare
#

As iys i42 and you're not given that

#

Prior to your job quest

open coral
#

You can get it with the level 45 gear.

manic flare
#

when does ironwork gear become available

open coral
#

After you finish Praetorium

dire prawn
#

I want an ilvl that isn't sub-30 already feelsbadman

open coral
#

You'll get there.

manic flare
open coral
#

He's just before Stone Vigil

#

A little more than halfway to the end of 2.0

manic flare
#

hmm...stone vigil can be tough if you are undergeared i think

#

it's really the first dungeon that punishes you for not being adequately geared

open coral
#

Yes, but his gear is fine for SV

#

I've been helping him. He's got plenty.

#

The MSQ gives you baseline gear, and he also has some dungeon gear.

dire prawn
#

I need a new weapon though PepeHands

manic flare
#

u dont really need a great weapon as a healer

#

just as long as its not your starting weapon

faint flare
#

You do

#

Weapon damage increases healing

open coral
#

Nah, you've got a level 32 or so weapon, right @dire prawn

twilit arch
#

the weapon is every jobs strongest piece of gear

dire prawn
#

It's Lv 32 yeah but I'm Lv 42

twilit arch
#

whether you're tank, healer or dps. having an as up to date as possible weapon is important

little swift
#

if you need another body for i'll be around just ping me somewhere

open coral
#

One of the other people we were hanging out with yesterday had a healer with a level 18 weapon in SV who insisted that they didn't need a better one because they're a healer.

#

They were doing like 500 HP heals.

dire prawn
#

He also was one of the "Healers aren't DPS" people

open coral
#

So you absolutely do need a decent weapon, but honestly a level 32 weapon should be sufficient to handle SV

leaden ginkgo
#

Having good gear on the vigil is a good idea for healers because of the tanks that do big pulls without asking the healers in there and the mobs hit really hard in there

open coral
#

Could even get lucky and get the WHM weapon in the dungeon.

dire prawn
#

At least SV will let me use Regen and Cure III yayaya

open coral
#

Worst case scenario I can always tank that one and keep pulls smallish.

#

Not my first choice, but I could do it.

dire prawn
#

If a WHM weapon drops in SV I'm greeding it

quasi thistle
#

healer can use dps if there is some leeway... if there is no leeway, if barely geared... healer won't have that luxury tho...

manic flare
open coral
#

@dire prawn If you do that, I'm disowning you.

leaden ginkgo
manic flare
#

you should be needing every gear that's an upgrade from your current one

leaden ginkgo
#

^

twilit arch
#

greeding puts you at risk of not getting the item

open coral
#

Because you should Need on any gear that's an upgrade.

#

ALWAYS

twilit arch
#

so you should be hitting need on any and all upgrades

leaden ginkgo
#

Need make you roll a 99 greed makes you roll a 1d99 essentially

dire prawn
#

I don't actually unless it's like this necklace I found that was better than my like Lv freaking 1 or 5 or whatever one with half its durability

open coral

Always. Need. On. Upgrades.

@dire prawn Look for an "Independent Mender" or "Merchant & Mender"

doing some more side questing for now as I need to build up stats

if you want to prioritize defense

open coral
#

They're everywhere.

#

Every town and city has one.

obsidian patio
#

Armor

leaden ginkgo
leaden ginkgo
obsidian patio
#

But again, it depends on what slots of gear are behind the furthest

oak ice
#

But you should prioritize damage

leaden ginkgo
#

I have the best possible gear atm

#

for my level

twilit arch
#

assuming all slots are equal, weapon should always be your first priority

open coral
#

Accessories tend to lag behind in general.

twilit arch
#

it is the biggest boost to your dmg

open coral
#

But they're also lower priority.

twilit arch
#

which, even as a tank, is important

open coral
#

Priority should be weapon > armor > accessories.

leaden ginkgo

having trouble around mobs still

I spent 40+ minutes in hawk manor yesterday with two dps that wouldnt read there skills and had starting gear

I agree, by emphasizing "need", you seemed to be implying that it was only if they needed, not something to do as a regular occurrence.

little swift
#

your response with i hate pet mechanics implied blatant refusal to utilize it

i just found a perfect moment to use clemency Kek got a party of dps that dying a lot because didn't avoid AoE, the healer is very busy, and already use swiftcast on first raise

while casting the 2nd raise, the other dps started dying again, i use clemency on him Kek

Yes, that's a valid use of Clemency @quasi thistle

Edenmete gear from tokens you cant upgrade in any way right?

gochu so it's basically alrenrative 510 gear

If you wanna optimizate substats at that ilvl

i'm saying that the way you worded it seemed like you don't want to use it

faint flare
#

Or avoid paying gil

little swift
#

if you really wanted to be pragmatic about it

cold steppe

i'll probably use it for a flex class

#

so i can potentially do stuff not just as a healer

faint flare

It is basically alt gear after a few weeks

cold steppe
#

does any class use cryptlurker weapon as BIS or is it always not-bis because the e12s weapon is 535 instead?

silver ruin

uhhh i think the majority of classes use eden savage cause of the substats, last tier some used the upgraded tome weapon cause of substats, but raid weapon is just better all around this tier

blm can use the augmented cryptlurker weapon for their high sps bis

shame, kinda hoped it'd be best for at least 1 class im intrested in but i guess not this time, tho i suppose it's still strictly better than emerald weapon if i'd actually get that before trying savages in any shape and form

silver ruin
#

depending on theclass emerald is still superior to 520 depending on substats

faint flare
silver ruin
#

like emerald>520 weapon for healers

#

cause 520 weapon has piety as a dead substat

cold steppe
#

I see mooglethink I assume healers is one of the cases where emerald would be better

silver ruin
#

yes

fierce crypt
#

was trying to download reshade, but the addon software is not working. The website is down :c

cold steppe
#

yeah i assumed so

little swift
silver ruin
#

is what i mean

obsidian patio
#

Yeah the Emerald weapons as a whole have spicy secondary stats, all of them are crit/det or crit/DH

little swift
#

its more that if you don't need the mp regen its less useful

#

and this tier

#

has a lot of outgoing damage

#

where you might consider more piety as a result

#

so you don't eat ass

silver ruin
#

it does, but if you're in full exarchic with exarchic weapon or tome 520 weapon

#

you're sitting at 2k piety

cold steppe
#

depends on team i feel, if barely anyone makes mistakes you probably wont run into MP problems, at least on AST between lucid dreams and card draws

silver ruin
#

idk, even in party finder up to 12 savage phase 1 enrage i wasnt running more than 1200 on any healer

cold steppe
#

Im on ast without ring/braclet/earring/weapon from crafted and im at 1.6k piety without any meld for it

silver ruin
#

yea the crafted sets give a LOT of piety

cold steppe
#

i can agree tho a bit more piety can be nice, especially for prog, but i feel not THAT much. lol

little swift
#

but you'll have less as you approach bis

#

so work around with that

cold steppe
#

i try my best

little swift
#

know exactly what will be comfortable

silver ruin
#

^

cold steppe
#

thats true but yeah i actually dont mind more piety for now with my kinda-regular group as there's alot of mistakes going on

#

so sometimes more mana is really needed lol

silver ruin
#

honestly it really depends, if theres too many mistakes you wont meet the dps check so at that point it might be kind of a bust

cold steppe
#

that as well

#

but in the end as channy said

#

as i'll slowly crawl my way to bis

#

i'll loose some of the piety anyway

silver ruin
#

ye

cold steppe
#

im honestly happy if i do between 8-9k dps as AST on emerald at this point lol

silver ruin
#

on emerald that would be a purple irc

#

so yea thats good

leaden ginkgo
#

Do I move on to a higher level job?

little swift
#

nope

#

paladin stays paladin

#

but you do get that chestpiece

#

and inside the coffer

#

is an exact replica (appearance wise) of what you just got

#

but stronger

leaden ginkgo
#

Or do I have to start a new job with different skills?

strange coral
#

Yes, there are

leaden ginkgo
#

What’s next?

#

Where do I trade bozjan coins?

strange coral
#

All the way to 80 you'll keep earning more, some from job quests, some from just leveling up

strange coral
little swift
leaden ginkgo
#

Ty oh and does that mean eqch class will receive 85 and 90 lvl skills?

#

Or just one with new expansion

dire prawn
#

Is The Heretic Among Us MSQ about to send me into a dungeon

leaden ginkgo
#

If so, cant wait to see whm new skills :o

dire prawn
#

Because there's a dungeon marker by the MSQ marker but it doesn't have a name when I hover over the icon

strange coral
dire prawn
#

fuck

#

Let me guess

#

Stone Vigil?

strange coral
#

Yup

little swift
#

as every job

#

the job quest chains are separated by expansion

#

so you have 1-30 on the base classes

#

30-50 for those jobs

#

50-60

#

and 60-70

leaden ginkgo
#

Does damage eventually get way higher?

warped nest
#

Why won't it?

leaden ginkgo
#

So I understand that the expansions add more jobs, what types might I enjoy later on?

cold steppe
#

should i feel bad that because i dont feel confidant at playing dps class i kinda want to try out dancer first and foremost? :X

little swift
#

no don't feel bad

leaden ginkgo
#

Currently a paladin

little swift
#

everyone starts somewhere

leaden ginkgo
#

Where do I get ultima token, I see thqt ai only need 1 for I thibk ultima weapon theyre beautiful T.T

little swift
#

what kinds of jobs do you like

cold steppe
#

i mean the class being easy aside, i just really like dancer design lol

little swift
#

you get it from completing the weapon's refrain: ultimate

cold steppe
#

and given i really like supportive classes, among dps dancer probably fits my tastes the most because of that

#

tho Dragoon also have teamwide utility

leaden ginkgo
#

Is that extreme trial of praetorim boss

little swift
#

no

#

its an ultimate fight

#

one of the hardest pieces of content in the game

leaden ginkgo
#

Aww man

little swift
#

not something you can just pop in and out of in like 10 minutes

leaden ginkgo
#

Looks like I wont be getting those anytime soon, I dont do hard content but all weapons are locked behind them Dx

little swift
#

yes a lot of the nice glowy ones are locked behind ultimate

leaden ginkgo
#

Hmm its either git gud

little swift
#

but there are nice glowy ones that are crafted, and relic weapons are accessible too

leaden ginkgo
#

Or go for relics

#

If I want glow

little swift
#

yes getting gud for glam is a common goal

#

there's crafted items too kayo

little swift

#

How painful is zenith weapon quest for whm? Xd

little swift
#

which do have role specific defensive actions

#

zenith is quick to do

#

finishing the whole thing is what takes a bit longer

leaden ginkgo
#

I got to first step where I have to craft staff for whm, but i dont have alchemist lvl 50 :(
