rogue gets shafted on aoe skills
#questions-and-help
leaden ginkgo
It has fun AOE when you get the skills though
twilit arch
Dragoon would like a word
remote lintel
dragoon doesnt get an aoe until 40
twilit arch
nin gets their aoe at 38, dragoon is 40
leaden ginkgo
Yeah Dragoon AOE is true suffering
dark copper
isn't dragoon aoe a conal/straight line one?
remote lintel
the first one yes
twilit arch
the first one is yes
leaden ginkgo
All line AOEs, one oGCD AOE has a super long cooldown
rugged flicker
How is this item obtained? Wiki doesn't say:
https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Shishio
leaden ginkgo
meanwhile MCH is in Satasha saying "haha gun go brr"
dark copper
doesn't bard/archer get an early aoe?
twilit arch
pretty much all melee get shafted on aoe
dark copper
monk has early aoe
leaden ginkgo
Mnk has good AOE imo
twilit arch
except for monk who gets theirs early ish
casters/phys range get their aoes pretty early on
leaden ginkgo
once ninja has some tools the aoe is quite enjoyable (if the tank knows what Doton does)
dark copper
when does arcanist get an aoe?
twilit arch
technically lvl 4 since emerald is an aoe pet
their spammable aoe isn't until 40 tho
leaden ginkgo
you shouldn't pick jobs based on their early level kit imo though since it won't be relevant super long

Im a new player and id like to play astrologian. i read that quest for it starts at lvl 30. If i hit lvl30 with my starting class should i just go for astro or should i continue with my starting class and change later? Do i start astro at lvl 1 or 30?
humble belfry
heavensward is a location?
remote lintel
the first expansion
boreal storm
Ishgard is the location
humble belfry
by reach you mean buy ?
humble belfry
the main story quest?
remote lintel
yes
humble belfry
ah ok
remote lintel
the unlock quest for ast is in ishgard which you cant reach until you get to heavensward
humble belfry
duty finder is cross server?
remote lintel
yes across your data center
humble belfry
leveling roulette is also unlocked by main story quest? i only have 2 dungeon duties there
no lvling roulette yet:(
remote lintel
if you have 2 dungeons unlocked then you should have leveling roulette
humble belfry
maybe i need to have 2nd class?
fading osprey
Alright
remote lintel
it has nothing to do with class
boreal storm
maybe i need to have 2nd class?
You don’t
pseudo quartz
I think you might need to complete the two dungeons first, but yes
fading osprey
Is talking about parsing allowed here?
remote lintel
yes
humble belfry
All i have atm
fading osprey
Ok I had a rude awakening then
remote lintel
screenshot the first tab
fading osprey
I was getting out damaged by the healer so I assume that means I'm playing extremely badly
humble belfry
Thats the whole lab

Press u and click on the one with question mark

Should probably have the Guildhests roulette too

Also the selling point to coming back was the paladin in the trailer 
fading osprey
I was doing Sirensong Sea dungeon but the party all had level 510 gear
Does gear help out even if it's sync?
remote lintel
dungeons arent accurate
shut panther
I was doing Sirensong Sea dungeon but the party all had level 510 gear
Depending on the situation it might be reasonable
If you're leveling for the first time, your gear is likely under sync
remote lintel
you need to do a trial or raid
shut panther
Sync only goes down, not up
In addition, due to different ability unlock timings
Balance at before cap can be all over the place
When I'm playing WHM in a leveling dungeon after unlocking Holy not being top damage is a pleasant surprise tbh
fading osprey
So I should come back to tracking my damage at level 80 and do a trial where my gear is at recommended level?
shut panther
Were you being outdamaged by the healer on trash or bosses?
remote lintel
the gear shouldnt matter much unless youre really undergeared
shut panther
If you were losing on trash that's nothing to be terribly concerned about -- if you were losing to the healer on boss you might want to reevaluate
fading osprey
trash are the little guys in between bosses?
remote lintel
yes
fading osprey
yeah
remote lintel
then it means nothing
shut panther
Yeah like I said playing WHM I am top DPs on trash much more often than not in leveling
remote lintel
you parse your single target damage not aoe damage
shut panther
Winning on bosses means the group is bad, though.
fading osprey
Healer was last on bosses but I was getting close to him
shut panther
What class are you playing?
fading osprey
I think it's more of a me issue though at moment
remote lintel
its still not completely accurate
most of the time you cant do a proper opener in dungeons
fading osprey
I'll come back and ask for advice after doing what you two recommended
Level 80 trial or raid while not being undergeared
remote lintel
make sure you know your opener
fading osprey
I will and thanks for the advice Cerberus and Ropter
honest thunder
Hey guys i just picked up the game a few days ago and im a little confused on casting.
Im a level 5 thaumaturge and sometimes my spells are not casting it happens sometimes where I kill an enemy and click on a new target, I cant cast any spells and i just punch the enemy sometimes.
Am i doing something wrong? someone please help.
https://clips.twitch.tv/PleasantTenuousCasetteRedCoat-Mttlobp6VIVzgPze
remote lintel
it looks like you have the setting that doesnt make you auto face the target when casting
so you have to manually face your character to the target
honest thunder
wow i don't know how that got unticked. thanks a bunch guys i appreciate it

Saw the conversation about damage twenty minutes ago, how do you even check your damage??

If I do O12S unsynced, can I do it as a Tank?

You aren't thinking about soloing it unsynced right?

Then just go with whatever jobs you are comfortable with
Good luck, and have fun

For some of them, I believe you won't see them until you reach the correct steps in your relic weapon
wispy totem
If I wanted to change to archer class in a macro. Is there another way of doing it besides having it written as /gs change # ?
analog gate
pneumite is only from ishgard and idyllshire i think?
warped nest
Is there a reason why you don't drag the gearset into your hotbar and make it a button?
I am not sure about Ishgard, but Idyllshire definitely has it
wispy totem
I could, but I want better looking macro icons
warped nest
Ahh, that's fair

Which steps do you get to skip from the 2nd anima weapon you make?
warped nest
You don't skip steps
But you can buy and stock up items

I don't like doing /gs change # because whenever I add/change my gearset, the order will be messed up

dungeon drops are random, but for levelling dungeons you always get 1 piece of gear for your current class that you don't already have
plain python
@warped nest good thing no monsters to fight. Disappoined cuz I want to fight giant sea spider. Btw, you do Kojin quests there a lot 😄
scarlet beacon
but even my main sotry quests are giving me gladiator equipment when i have rogue equipped?
remote lintel
msq gives gear for every class
scarlet beacon
yeah but every choice is either better gear for my glad or a crappy piece of gear for "disciples of war"
remote lintel
thats how ARR is
scarlet beacon
hm
warped nest
You blast through low level very quickly, so they just give general gear with stat benefiting all classes
You don't get specialized armors until lvl 45+
scarlet beacon
ok thank you!
warped nest
Afterward, a overwhelming majority of the armors are semi-specialized armors with the following names
Fending: tank gear
Scouting: Ninja gear
Striking: Monk, and Samurai
Maiming: Dragoon
Casting: Magic DPS
Aiming: Physical Ranged DPS
Healing: healer

Wait so now that DST is in effect it'd be 10PM?

You can just ask the NPC in game

Meh, I'll schedule it for 11:30 anyway, since that's for sure when I'll be off work.
warped nest
And they will tell you in local time
wispy totem
What is the cross hotbar?
warped nest
Controller hotbar
rugged flicker
And you can buy a ticket for the next Cactpot right away?
warped nest
It uses the combination of left/right trigger and dpad/face button to press a skill
For example: R2 + Circle
To swap hotbar, you use R1 + buttons
There are additional settings you can turn on to tweak your cross hotbar behavior
cursive abyss
Where is the best place to hire people for taxying to Aether Currents? Limsa?
warped nest
If done correctly, it is just as good, if not better, than keyboard and mouse for some players
wheat plume
For crosshotbar, different combinations of L2 and R2 can give u 48 slots without need for swapping
earnest wraith
just ask for fc mate for help
wheat plume
But u must activate it, by default you only have 16
warped nest
Even just activating one of the two additional option will give you 32
Which is more than enough for most jobs
If you are used to using controller for action games,
This might be more comfy for you

In UI settings, is there a way to move the gauge box and have it move all jobs gauge box to the same location? Right now, it's not like that for me, I've had to move the gauge box for whm,drk and pld so far individually
I mean the HUD layout
deep gyro
i think you need to move it per job
every job's job gauge is coded as a different unique element
by the looks of it
wispy totem
ok
twilit arch
yeah unfortunately have to move it one by one
wispy totem
Kinda sucks haha xD glad I noticed it now and not a later and possibly have it in a weird spot
anyone have a quick keybinding vid on 3x4 hotbar layout?
I can't remember which abilities are alike similar jobs anymore. I use to have the same groupings of abilities keybound to the same key for different jobs. Like PLD, war drk ect.

for a9s anima farming?
twilit arch
firstly, you've got the JP role so i assume you are on a japanese server, do you have the J language enabled in the duty finder settings?
leaden ginkgo
for a9s anima farming?
Yep
tulip comet
I don't think I've disabled anything. How do I enable it if so
twilit arch
the cogwheel at the top of the duty finder window
click on that to open the duty finder settings, click on the J on the language settings and then click ok to save the settings
should help with queue times a bit, though its not exactly prime time yet for JP
tulip comet
Oooh gotcha! I activated all languages on it and re-queued. The ETA went down to 5 mins average wait.
Thank you so much!
keen flower
can see if its set by opening duty finder and checking top. if languages isnt ticked u need to change it
tulip comet
Yea... I play at odd hours. I'm from SEA but my off days usually aren't on weekends so my off day queue times aren't nice XD

@leaden ginkgo you can I guess? As long as someone can tank. Maybe throw a or two on him.

how would you know if it's a treasure dungeon though
twilit arch
because a portal spawned
deep gyro
i forgot healer mimicry and died on final boss
twilit arch
after you defeated all of the enemies

its a dungeon which spawns from treasure map
twilit arch
the 8 man maps for expansions all have a chance of spawning a portal to treasure dungeons

Just wondering. I remember hearing yoshida say something about healers when he announced sage. barrier healers and some other healer that I forgot. like a category.
remote lintel
regen healers or something
leaden ginkgo
Yeah
Whm is pure heal
Whereas sage decreases the amount of damage you take aka barrier
remote lintel
whm has a shield
leaden ginkgo
This has lots of shield then

they said something about changing a healer class to being barrier or something.
so barrier healers and pure healer?
remote lintel
the regen healers will probably have some shields and vice versa
scholar will be classified as a barrier healer

you dont need all 4 blue mages

you one shot all the mobs

oh ok so you can just do aurum vale with any class, BLU happens to be faster
silver ruin
yea 3 blu mages and a tank hit sub 5 minutes

i think if u do wall to wall you can have 2 no?
silver ruin
uhhhh
little swift
yah you'll be ok for w2w

if you dont kill mobs before the bosses yea
or the first boss atleast
cause i know before the 2nd boss and before the 3rd boss
you get blocked by malboros

worst case you missile and burst them down fast anyway since ur not using any other skills

Optimal play relies on good party performance as well

Option 3 pick blue mage on 70 and under fates.

what are you farming?
little swift
Or pick a dps

If you can't do blu dps is a better option with chocobo
leaden ginkgo
...Never thought about blue mage, time to gather the spells then

it takes quite some time to gather all the spells
longer than fate farming with another class
unless you have a few people willing to go with you
what are you farming the fates for?
thats the important question here

You probably want to take advantage of the fact that people are actually queuing for them at this moment then
remote lintel
if they changed server it should say cannot retrive
if they changed name it just uses their new name
little swift
Itll be unable to retrieve until they come back
remote lintel
changed data center i mean
deep gyro
i heard if someone deletes you from their fl they still stay on yours
manic flare
So what happened was I was pulling wall to wall in amdapor keep, and the dps didn't like that so one of them was being toxic and initiated a vote kick because I was pulling too much

deep gyro
i made a lot of money from fragments when 5.45 dropped
remote lintel
generally you ask first if the healer wants it
earnest wraith
@manic flare that's incorrect. I always like w2w :3
deep gyro
as long as you're using cooldowns
earnest wraith
as dps/healer
deep gyro
if healer cant keep up they are griefing you with their gear
because it is so easy fast and cheap to gear up while leveling
manic flare
I use cooldowns, but I try to optimize hallowed ground upkeep so sometimes I still die even after activating it
Not sure why
deep gyro
look if you want to be a model citizen and u can tell a healer is struggling
manic flare
I know it went off
deep gyro
just do less
manic flare
Because it was on cooldown
silver ruin
it hasa delay
deep gyro
but know that they are the one who is wrong
remote lintel
because theres like a split second between you pressing the button and the skill activating
silver ruin
^
deep gyro
not you
deep gyro
also
hallowed ground should be used ideally before you take damage
or like
get low
remote lintel
if a healer is new and doesnt want to do w2w thats not wrong
manic flare

doesnt matter till you're 80, use higher ilv gear for your class

oh ok

healer is mind, melee is str, (besides ninja which is dex)
tank is strength, normally accessories might have tenacity etc

other than that if it allows you to "need" on the gear

How to get from Uldar to Gridania? Are there any flights? chocobo doesnt go that far:(
proud willow
If you follow the main story up to level 15, you will get transported to Gridania by airship
and once you attune to the aetheryte, you can teleport back and forth pretty easily
humble belfry
i was there already i need to come back there
i can pay 500 to teleport but i was wondering if there is any cheaper way
proud willow
the airship is cheaper, yeah

airship from uldar?
proud willow
You can also mark up to 3 aetherytes as favorites so that they are half price to teleport to
whole wasp
yup
if you attuned to all the small aethernet points, you can tele straight to the airport from any aethernet point. if not, you gotta take the elevator

Even then, you are still spending time clicking the tiny aetheryte and moving to the airship

Makes sense, just gonna use recommended until ironworks at 50
warped nest
You want to prioritize gears that are exclusive to tanks
Some gears are for tanks + Lancer + Dragoon, those are less good, but still okay if you don't have anything better
Some gears are for all Disciple of War, those are least good for a tank

Should I buy all the dlc
Buying Shadowbringers will also unlock Stormblood. Unless you really want Samurai/Red Mage at level 50 or Viera/Hrothgar, their isn’t much reason until you reach Stormblood

So with base game I can have how many hours of play time? 100 hours?

after your initial free 30 day sub period is up since you bought the base game, you gotta pay a monthly sub

what's the most profitable retainer class?
can I do like 4 healers and get by?
if all I wanted was gil
from their ventures
obsidian patio
All combat classes give the exact same loot
So it’s combat vs miner vs botanist vs fisher
Fisher has the potential for bursts of big money through the 16-hour ventures, since they have a few rare materials/minions that most people don’t go for since fishing retainers usually aren’t that good.
cosmic pilot
I’m still not sure who is Beq Lugg’s jp va.. very familiar
signal aspen
what would you obtain from a combat class?
obsidian patio
Monster materials like skins/meats from their 1-hour ventures
signal aspen
I'm guessing you don't put them at max hours?
obsidian patio
Each of the 4 have semi-exclusive minions from various 16-hour venture ranks
It can vary pretty wildly. I just gamble with my 3 (combat/miner/botanist) and have them all do quick ventures for the chance of rare dyes
obsidian patio
The 16-hour ventures are basically all or nothing in terms of rewards. You either get only a couple thousand worth of allagan pieces or those special drops.
The 16-hour ones yeah, they all give the Allagan Gil pieces
earnest wraith
if you want to maximized retainer potential then you have to study MB and know what to sell. quick venture/explo is basically asking RNG god for mercy.
obsidian patio
RNG gods giveth and they taketh away
signal aspen
is there a limit to how many retainers can venture
obsidian patio
Sometimes you get an individual wind shard or fish that sells for 5 Gil, sometimes you get 2 Pure White/Jet Black dye that sells for 200-500k each
obsidian patio
You can send them all out at once
signal aspen
can you have like more than 4 out?
earnest wraith
can
obsidian patio
You just need to keep supplying yourself with the ventures needed to do so
signal aspen
and ventures are from the grand company turn ins?
earnest wraith
also, you have to update their gear for long exploration.
obsidian patio
That’s one main method, yeah.
signal aspen
so my question is when they're level 80, can they get by with 70 gear?
obsidian patio
Allied Seals/Centurio Seals can also be used, and the beast tribe tokens from their dailies.

so ive got max level crp arm and bsm and everyone was like oh level crafting you'll make so much money and im failing to see where i make money now that I am here
how would I go about making money with those classes?
wintry chasm
by finding things that sell
usually items from the mastercraft books sell well in this regard
leaden ginkgo
so primal weapons basically
wintry chasm
but a lot of it is just you working this out yourself with your server's market
You can't just make a single thing and snap your fingers and instantly 100% get all the monies
leaden ginkgo
i know this
glossy flare
Try and get into the economy of your world and find something you can make with reasonable effort for reasonable profit
wintry chasm
Also like, having crp arm and bsm is going to make it hard anyway
since you don't have ALL the crafters max
glossy flare
What exactly to sell depends somewhat on your world, at least to a degree
wintry chasm
so you're going to eat into your profit margins to actually make the materials you can't make
since you didn't level the crafters all at the same time for whatever reason
So even if you did find something good it might not make as much money as other people would be able to make
leaden ginkgo
and how am i supposed to know to level every crafter at the same time if nobody's told me?
the game doesnt tell you to do it
eso you dont level all your crafting trees at the same time
honest anvil
crp and bsm can probably make money crafting furniture for big money but very hit or miss
wintry chasm
and how am i supposed to know to level every crafter at the same time if nobody'...
Well usually when you realise that you keep needing materials while leveling BSM which you cannot make and have to keep spending money on it but that's another dicussion
point is
agile laurel
common sense, really
wintry chasm
Until you get them all up buying materials will eat into profits

it's not something you're told because you don't need to know

Not really a rotation but here's the basics:
Alternate between your combos to collect Sen. Keep Higanbana up, otherwise spend them on Midare. Always keep your buffs up (Shifu and Jinpu) but those should come automatically by just alternating between the combos
