I'd say dancer with some adjustments to your tech window. Red mage and summoner are also tolerable. AST is downright comfy as with Malefic, you have exactly one weave window on both low and high ping. Stay away from mch and brd.

I got into it because the pld aesthetic is 10/10. I also recommend it as it's fairly simple early on. Just go to dungeons to level! You should pick up experience as you go and lowbie dungeons can be facerolled enough that you're never under actual threat unless you wall-to-wall. Also make sure to say you're new, it'll make everyone way more understanding.

But also don't listen to me

So I just unlocked Puppet Bunker and need some clarification on the "once a week" drop thing since it's my first time getting that. Does the once a week drop only account for the Coin or does it also mean I can only get one piece of loot (gear) per week when doing the raid?
remote lintel
it applies to the clusters
faint flare
Puppwt isn't weekly locked currently
Only clusters
The new nier raid will be
Which you'll get 1 piece of gear and 1 coin weekly
fast talon
Is it not? I got the message about the weekly thin for the first time with Puppet, not to mention it has a "reward already claimed" thing on it in the duty finder.
faint flare
Thats the cluster
remote lintel
the clusters are weekly locked
fast talon
Or is that only for the cluster like Cerberus said
remote lintel
nothing else is
fast talon
I see, but when the new raid comes out, that one will be locked for gear as well?
remote lintel
yes
faint flare
Usually 24man weekly locks say rewards received 2/3
remote lintel
and the coin
fast talon
So is the coin not locked right now?
remote lintel
no
fast talon
Im guessing 'cause the gear it provides is already outdated and beaten by exarchic? So it's possible to farm Puppet purely for glam gear?
fast talon
Okay, thanks, the info pop up about it wasn't really all that clear. So does this once a week reward thing only apply for Allied Raids or is it in Normal Raids as well? I haven't unlocked anything past the 2nd Edensgate.
faint flare
Current eden raids are weekly locked

So right now, the latest Eden raids are weekly locked?

1 token per floor

I see, I see. Alright, tyvm, only started playing a few months ago so I'm just catching up to "current" content.

the content cycle is always like that

Ofc

gleaming finch
So I was giving mch a try after an earlier recommendation, really not so sure it's easier to play than dnc...at all. Maybe that's because my mch is 70 and my dnc is only 62 but dnc only really has 2 attacks and 2 procs like...80% of the time outside of their dancing.
remote lintel
mch is basically just 123 and burst
gleaming finch
maybe its just my keyboard layout is really bad for mch, not sure how to set it up yet
fast talon
Between the three ranged dps, i find MCH to be the easiest because it's a pretty fixed and rigid rotation, unlike the RNG of Dancer and Bard
gleaming finch
single target isnt so bad for mch, but its certainly easier to swap between aoe and st with dnc since they have fewer buttons 😛 but again, thats just my experience so far

When you "save your gear" and swap, does the gear stay in the slots on the doll or get dumped into your inventory?
dire prawn

If the gear isn't compatible with whatever class you're switching to it'll dump them back into your Armoury Chest
fast talon
single target isnt so bad for mch, but its certainly easier to swap between aoe ...
MCH aoe is pretty much just spamming Spread Shot and using Bioblast/Flamtehrower when its off cd and there's a lot of enemies. Then once you have enough heat forHypercharge, use Hypercharge and spam auto crossbow. Maybe weave in a ricochet if you want to in between Spreadshots.

In coil turn 9, the fire-in and fire-out means where the targeted player must go (center or edge), so other players know how to avoid, and ice debuffed players can stay at center during one fire-in to get hit , right?
faint flare
The fire tether moves out of the group if they're out
And everyone stacks on fire if its fire in
worthy rain
If you dont choose a datacenter from where you are, nothin happens, but the guide of square enix advices to choose where you are tho
plain python
Ravana has a move where he targets a player and start to spam a cone attack that is hurt. What am I supposed to do with that?
wheat plume
but why everyone should stack on fire? that would make them die if they get the tether the next time
rigid narwhal
In coil turn 9, the fire-in and fire-out means where the targeted player must go...
you basically need to get hit by a fire each second fire cycle
as you gain an icescorched debuff
and a firescorched debuff
they cancel each other out
wheat plume
how frecuently are they comming? fire and ice attacks?
rigid narwhal
and the icescorched debuff hits each players once per cycle
iceballs will hit people
if you have the firescorched debuff
do not stand in fire
cos you will die
iceballs remove firescorched, firescorched removes ice
wheat plume
so we must try to have, everyone, fireschored debuff, right?
wheat plume
iceballs remove firescorched, firescorched removes ice
yep, I know that
faint flare
Ravana has a move where he targets a player and start to spam a cone attack that...
Use cooldowns
wheat plume
if with Fire-in everyone gets de fire debuff, whats the use of it? with the next fire debuff one will die
faint flare
To remove the ice debuff
rigid narwhal
nah, they'll just get a fire debuff
and they wont be in the next set
so it's like this, fire in - everyone in. then before the next fire tether, every person will be hit by an iceball (unless someone dies then it gets screwy)
rigid narwhal
yes, there are 8 iceballs, one on each player, each fire tether cycle
no
single player target
wheat plume
so is it 1 fire, 8 ice, 1 fire, 8 ice, etc ?
rigid narwhal
it's the harder version of turn 9, at least it has it in it
wheat plume
ok, I'm asking for the regullar version
rigid narwhal
yah it's pretty similar mechs wise
wheat plume
ok, so 1 fire-out , 8 ice, 1 fire-in, 8 ice, 1 fire-out, 8 ice, and so on,
rigid narwhal
yes
rigid narwhal
watch your debuffs
if you have firescorched, dont get hit by the fire tether
if you have icebitten, get hit by the fire tether
wheat plume
yep
rigid narwhal
if you have nothing, you can get hit by fire too
wheat plume
during fire-in, is best to get fire debuff, or is best to no get it? if you dont have ice debuff
rigid narwhal
yes, get it
unless you were targeted by the fire out tether
then do not get it
as you will still have firescorched
fire in, you should always get the debuff unless you were targeted with tether
wheat plume
fire tether always changes players?
rigid narwhal
fire tether means you are guaranteed the debuff
to get it
but yes, it is random who it goes to
