most of its heals are ogcd and you only get like 3 every minute

Tanking is very much a mindless job. The combos are quite simple. You just have to remember to have your tank stance on, aggro all the mobs, and use your cooldowns from time to time
pulsar escarp
^^^^ it does get a bit harder in higher content when mechanics are specially made for you but otherwise it's pretty fun
modest igloo
you're exchanging a difficult rotation for more mechanics to do
remote lintel
that's every job
dark copper
I find DPS to be the hardest roles actually
Much harder than tanking
If I want to do something mindless I will just go tank
pulsar escarp
yeah, dps puts a bit of pressure on me to actually worry a lot about how much damage I'm doing
plus something like that TEA enrage.. I never want to try that no matter how far off it might be in the future
winged fossil
dps is the only thing i do that i don't find hard. i just cast my spells as best i can. bish bash bosh. if i die, that's on me usually for standing in an orange.
dark copper
If I don't find myself at the top of the aggro list (2nd to tank) as a DPS I get anxious
modest igloo
DPS is easy bc ive done it for like a 1,000 hours at this point, and even then im still learning
remote lintel
aggro list isn't a good indicator of dmg
if anything the healer would be 2nd to tank
winged fossil
i say 'find hard' but i am like still just in HW so not up against any actual major comparison i guess, and i may be a terrible low DPSer.
modest igloo
literally 0 people care about how high your dps is at that point, just do your best and you'll be fine
dark copper
if anything the healer would be 2nd to tank
If the healer is healing and weaving DPS on the side, then yes. But most of the time, I get healers who only want to heal and nothing else. Which I don't mind
twilit arch
healing generates enmity
stuck onyx
For early quests rewards should I go for gear or gil?
faint flare
Gear
remote lintel
if the healer is just healing then they would have MORE enmity
faint flare
Always gear if its an upgrade
twilit arch
so if all you're doing is healing, especially when people don't need it, you're likely going to be generating a lot of because of the overhealing
winged fossil
If the healer is healing and weaving DPS on the side, then yes. But most of the ...
sometimes if i make a mistake, people say focus on the healing don't worry about damage, even though literally every guide opens with 'you must do damage as a healer'.
pulsar escarp
I mean - the priority is no one dying
twilit arch
its fine to err on the side of caution if you're still getting comfortable healing
faint flare
Its a balance
pulsar escarp
but you should also be trying your best to do damage
twilit arch
but you do not need everyone to be topped off all the time
modest igloo
i overheal a lot on my SCH buts thats bc im bad on SCH
i had a blast playing AST for the first time last night
proven magnet

Keeping yourself as a healer alive is your priority. You can't heal others if you're dead.
winged fossil
its fine to err on the side of caution if you're still getting comfortable heali...
i think this. and yeah, seeing anyone below 75% makes me nervous haha. waiting for a big kaboom to wipe everyone. and trying to rememer which are my regens.

fuck

dark copper
Generally it's easier to find your way around Limsa if you just teleport to the Aftcastle immediately and work from there
remote lintel
@winged fossil during casual content it's unlikely that a raid wide will kill people at 75% unless their gear sucks or something
dark copper
Otherwise all the different levels and the lack of clear Z direction on the map makes navigating Limsa a nightmare if you aren't used to the city
winged fossil
<@779754653214703636> during casual content it's unlikely that a raid wide will ...

So basically, once you have regen, just cast it on the tank before the start of every pull. Usually that is enough to keep the tank alive (or just needing 1 or 2 extra heals), allowing you plenty of time to dps as a healer
winged fossil
Otherwise all the different levels and the lack of clear Z direction on the map ...
when i began in Limsa (i only started playing 3 weeks ago so thats why i am such an idiot with all these Qs and anxieties) i honestly was like 'what fresh hell is this?'
pulsar escarp
god
going upstairs.
downstairs
I was so lost lmao
just attune to everything ASAP
dark copper
So what I do generally before every pull is:
Regen on tank
(IF I don't have holy), place DoTs on all the mobs (or Holy if I do have it)
twilit arch
when you're looking at the upper and lower decks themselves, they're basically one line
winged fossil
So basically, once you have regen, just cast it on the tank before the start of ...
thank you. that's a good tip! I do DoT everyone at the start as well.
remote lintel
you don't need to regen everyone
modest igloo
thats what happens when you make pirates do architecture
remote lintel
just the tank
dark copper
I meant placing DoTs on the mobs
winged fossil
it's workig out which is regen in each job as well. and at what level.
dark copper
Not the party
remote lintel
are you playing sch or whm
dark copper
oh looks like SCH
spark cradle
been trying to get out here but im having trouble
the city states and some other locations have multiple levels you can see on a maop
dark copper
I'm not sure what the regen ability for scholar is, but the same general concept applies for healer role
remote lintel
it's an aoe regen
so you would use it as an ogcd heal
they don't have a single target regen
spark cradle
regen is so stupid once you get it
most tanks at that level don't pull much so regen does everything
twilit arch
for white mage atleast, the higher you get the less useful regen becomes however
spark cradle
oh yeah obviously
which i like because fuck me leveling it was so boring at first since it was just proc regen and spam holy
dark copper
There are times in (low level dungeons), I only had to use heal once or twice through the entirety of the dungeon
winged fossil
Um, well the problem is also probably that i'm doing them all. Like level 62 SCH/SMN as my main, then WHM slowly going up at 53, and AST at 45.
spark cradle
oh yeah in some dgns because people solo pull i yeah basically don't need to heal
remote lintel
just prioritize your ogcd heals before your gcd heals
spark cradle
yarp which you get shit load for WHM in HW
remote lintel
if everyone is at like 75% you can just use the fairy regen
spark cradle
also am i noticing this right but WHM gets bugger all in SB?
you only get 2 actual new abilities
winged fossil
Um, well the problem is also probably that i'm doing them all. Like level 62 SCH...
so trying to learn three (and SMN, dancer, RDM, BLM, GNB (gave up that after the first quest tho)) healers all slightly different. probably not the wisest approach tbh.
twilit arch
3
remote lintel
it's fine
twilit arch
temperance, afflatus rapture, and afflatus misery
spark cradle
that's shb not sb
twilit arch
oh whoops
remote lintel
the healers have similar skills to each other so I would advise setting up your hotbars with that in mind
winged fossil
that's a good idea.
twilit arch
yeah, basically. sb was mostly upgrades 🤷♀️
spark cradle
yeah but WHM gets fuck all, its just stone upgrade and t hen 2 abilities
winged fossil
(and 'lock your hotbars' so i don't move round all my skills mid-fight)
spark cradle
HW gives a upgrade and 5 abilities, shb gives 2 upgrades and 3 abilities
spark cradle
no that's hw
spark cradle
was it reduced after?

yes, was original 62

but still >0
i did 51-100 about 3 times, first and 2nd run i got 1 drop from floor 100 only, and third run i got 1 drop from floor 90
when i did 51-200 i got 3 drops from 51-100 and i think one at the end of every 10 floors 100-200
those are just my runs, i don't have a large enough sample size to tell you the exact drop rates
but it seems like the higher levels have a very high drop rate
strange coral
I did 51-60 over and over while leveling MNK. Dunno how many runs or how much time, but I went from 30 to 58 on the MNK by the time I got 15 fragments.

how do you change the name of your FC house? Can't find the option anywhere

Not necessarily but you should always be behind the boss to not be cleaved

@hollow violet no, ideally you'rs as far away from the enemy as possible
faint flare
<@!190663284842561536> no, ideally you'rs as far away from the enemy as possible
No you're not
This is the worst place to be
Far away as possible means you're out of healing and buff range
civic spoke
it depends on the mechanics, but in most cases it's best

@junior crow on mog station > your account
pulsar escarp
I can't remember, does that get you 30 day free then
faint flare
Yes
pulsar escarp
sweet
faint flare
Cause it has the starter edition in it
remote lintel
it gives you 30 days because it includes the starter edition
pulsar escarp
oh yeah I don't have ps4 so sweet
pulsar escarp
maybe I should buy the game first.. redeem code later? would that work or does it expire
faint flare
It doesn't
pulsar escarp
oh cool so I could buy the game and redeem it way later
you're just paying for the code essentially right? it downloads on top of your free trial rather than a whole new file?

Strange, there's no place for it in my account in the mog station. Just "enter item code" under "registration codes"

hold on so when you put an item in your cart in squeenix shop does it stay there... forever? when I try and look at the complete edition from link but it just says waiting list, while there's one I added a while back in my cart that I can check out with at any time ish?

You can just remove it from your cart.

the higher level people are the more damage they will do
faint flare
Thats standard 80 damage
remote lintel
42k direct hit is pretty normal
deep gyro
the damage does not scale linearly with level in this game
faint flare
Since you'll be warrior, you get a skill thats guaranteed to direct hit crit, which usually does quite alot, like 80k+
Depending on raid buffs

do omnicrafters get to craft things with half mats?
little swift
no
weary dagger
oh no im being trolled
little swift
you don't use any more or less materials
a recipe always uses x amount of materials
weary dagger
icic!
proven magnet
this game already makes more sense than black desert lol
little swift
the big benefit of omni-crafting is the self-sufficiency of supplying yourself with all ther materials you need to make something
which saves yourself money instead of buying it off the marketboard
heavy wadi
and, as such, makes it much easier to make a lot of gil
little swift
not necessarily any easier
thats not true at all
things like knowing your market/finding a niche don't just come with having all crafters leveled
nor is crafting the only avenue to make good money
little swift
not at all
this set of master recipes do require some amount of hq materials
gear/meld/food/pot combo dependent for how much you need
weary dagger
sounds quite a venture. a lot of FCs offer help in crafting things but seems like I have to grocery shop for mats and now food and pot
might as well just buy straight up
little swift
yes usually crafters won't ever say no to helping someone out on crafting if you provide mats (tips are nice too)
and for food and pots, the market is very volatile
though we're so late into the tier that it has hard dropped in value compared to what it was at the start
like with all things, it takes effort and time
serene dagger
are flame seals still relevant lvl 50+?
little swift
you can still use them for materials needed in airship/submarine
also some stuff can be bought for the lv60 anima relic weapon
ventures are always in need
glamour prisms/dispellers as well

also is it that plates are entirely free to use or some item required?

proven magnet
is that like quests in an area that u complete?

heavy wadi
they scale to your level, to a certain extent
they're available every 5 levels up until hw iirc
here's a list of all leves and leve-givers + their locations, if u want it https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Category:Battlecraft_Levequest
twilit arch
for combat classes, they're not really that useful
as the exp they give is pretty meh
also that particular npc is for a guildhest
not levequest
heavy wadi
they're good early on but they taper off fast
boreal storm
Does the tag n’ bag strat work for non blue mages?
twilit arch
Guildhests are like mini tutorials that teach you how to do dungeons, but realistically not that good as a lot of people ignore certain aspects of them and the exp they give is also not amazing
at low levels (like 30 and below), higher than that and it really starts to fall off @boreal storm

can you glamour stuff that isnt for your job?
remote lintel
no

Very unlikely, unless they do a Cataclysm like thing and revamp every map, which would take a massive amount of resources.

Is Elem+2 better than Scaeven in Eureka?
Yes, because it has the elemental bonus that essentially works like more elemental levels

warm iron
do retainers still sell items while on a venture?
heavy wadi
yes
warm iron
in that case, what profession should a retainer generally be?
gathering or fighting?
devout lichen
is glamour general dow/dom locked or locked to the specific job that can equip it
oak ice
Recommended is one combat and one gathering
remote lintel
if you can equip it you can glamour it
warm iron
basically, how do I properly use ventures
twilit arch
that said, you also have to keep in mind that retainers can only go as high as you are in that class/job
so if you don't intend to level gatherers, kind of a moot point to make your retainer one
there's no real "wrong" way to use ventures. Quick ventures you're willing to gamble on getting random stuff. can be good stuff, can be fish
the specific 1hr hunting/gathering ventures are there if you want target specific items that you need for crafting or sell decently on the marketboard. 18hrs are the lazy don't want to check retainer often/hoping for the retainer specific minions
warm iron
retainers give minions?
how efficient are the gathering ventures versus doing it yourself?
twilit arch
its a rare chance, but yes
silver ruin
retainers give minions?
how efficient are the gathering ventures versus doing it...
minions are rng to get, also not very but if you're doing other stuff its good
twilit arch
the gathering ventures aren't as good as doing it yourself, but as lycilla said
devout lichen
why is my character keep doing the mount summoning animation in /gpose by default
twilit arch
you can do other things while having them out on ventures
because /gpose does the last action you used
devout lichen
oh
twilit arch
can sit and stand to "clear" it and then enter gpose
devout lichen
can you not specifically choose an animation inside gpose?
remote lintel
you can
twilit arch
You can choose an emote in the gpose menu
but if you want to specific action (like flare for example) you would need to use it before entering gpose
warm iron
so I just made a retainer a miner for gathering. do hunters work the same way? do you get to specify the material/mob you want hunted?
devout lichen
ah okay, thanks
remote lintel
yes
warm iron
ok, thank you very much everyone
