ACT/Parsing

Advanced Combat Tracker (ACT) can be used to view and record combat in real time to see player damage, healing, etc. ACT logs can then be uploaded to FFLogs to compare your performance with other players.

I hate that

#

Well I'm console sooo

#

@remote lintel is there a way to turn off floating numbers of other players?

remote lintel
#

dont think so

quick scroll
#

do minions give stats now or what are this numbers

remote lintel
#

its for the minigame

shy kindle
#

How many levels can you go down in Eureka? I was 19 and died and went to 18

modest igloo
#

All of them if you want

#

(Like if you want to help other players level)

potent shale
#

I tried using the Rakshasa/Yama Revolver

#

didnt worked

#

I tried dying it blue but it doesnt have the same feeling as Kunimoto Shin

twilit arch
quick scroll
#

is it worth doing eureka if ur 70 and goin to 80 coz i quit befor it got released

twilit arch
#

though keep in mind, your dot damage is also tied to this so that wont show either if you turn that off

#

if you're interested in the lv 70 relic or eureka gear for glamour sure. @quick scroll

hollow briar
twilit arch
#

ah fair. i mean not seeing the damage ticks isn't really the end of the world so if other player's dmg is bothering you

#

i'd go ahead and turn off pop up text

devout crystal
#

I think I just did a quest to unlock the decipher skill for treasure maps and stuff but why isn't it showing up?? Is it because I am a combat class?

hollow briar
#

It's not that big of a deal currently but was curious. Am new so

#

Doing Palace and yeah. Gets annoying

#

Can only imagine on raids

twilit arch
#

the decipher skill is in the general section of the actions and traits menu

#

same with dig

devout crystal
#

Found it. Thank you

dire prawn
#

Is Moulinet my only AoE melee ability as RDM?

leaden ginkgo
#

Yes

twilit arch
#

ye

leaden ginkgo
#

It can do an insane amount of damage in a short time though

dire prawn
#

What use do I have for Enchanted Moulinet

#

I assume base Moulinet isn't worth using

twilit arch
#

its your burst aoe, once you've built up enough white/black mana you use enchanted moulinet

#

then go back into your casted aoe spells

late lintel
#

Anyone know if the machinist is any good?

dire prawn
twilit arch
#

all jobs are good and viable, so you should play what you like

late lintel
#

So theres not rly a true good spec like other mmos?

glossy flare
#

nope

late lintel
#

Oh that’s good

glossy flare
#

shit's balanced here

proud willow
#

during a few patches, there have been some jobs that needed a little love

#

right now things are very well balanced

twilit arch
#

generally the difference between the best and the worst jobs are not significant enough

late lintel
#

I was looking for a class with good aoe would the machinist be good for that?

twilit arch
#

all jobs have AoE

proud willow
#

I think the main distinction for AoE is that there are a few classes that pull ahead (a little) in fights where there are exactly 2 targets

twilit arch
#

yeah that's true some jobs do extremely well with cleave

proud willow
#

for stuff where it's a bunch of enemies, I don't think there's any class that particularly shines

twilit arch
#

the places where you're going to be dealing with more than 2 targets, "strong" aoe doesn't really make or break anything (aka dungeons)

leaden ginkgo
sterile parcel
#

Anywhere to ask where a certain piece of furniture is from?

dire prawn
#

Here

sterile parcel
#

hold up... I think they are stacked riveria wall shelves

agile laurel
#

actually yes they are

twilit arch
#

Yes they are

agile laurel
#

that's. different

sterile parcel
#

cool

is the only thing you get from the easter event is the cockfit?

lethal bison
#

or do you get other things from it?

shy kindle
#

Why would I want to get the relic weapon in Eureka when I already have an 80 weapon scaled down?

leaden ginkgo
#

Because it's pretty

shy kindle
#

But is it stronger?

twilit arch
#

no

shy kindle
#

I just finished Anemos

twilit arch
#

eureka weapon is just for looks now

shy kindle
#

Okay

leaden ginkgo
lethal bison
#

oooh how do u get them?

twilit arch
#

its bought from the dreamer npc near the event quest giver

#

once you've completed the event quests

warm snow
#

Eureka weapons when completed are better for eureka content

#

They have elemental buffs or something idk I haven't finished mine

leaden ginkgo
#

Old content weapons are mostly for the "ooh shiny" factor, like old armors

twilit arch
#

the physeos stage really isn't worth it unless you're going to be like farming eureka a lot but even then its not really that make or break

leaden ginkgo
#

any websites to check,what are in lockboxes, loot pool

quick scroll
#

why does boss sometimes attacks healer even when aggro is on me

#

is it random ?

#

like with abilitie attacks

twilit arch
#

some boss attacks will target a random player even if you have aggro

quick scroll
#

o ty

#

coz i was fighting fist guy and he used charge twice on healer and i had aggro so was wondering

dire prawn
#

Yeah there's bosses with abilities that randomly target someone

lethal bison
twilit arch
#

yes there's 2 quests

#

first one gives you the chicken outfit

#

second one completes the event/gives achievement

lethal bison
#

oooh XD where the 2nd one at

twilit arch
#

at the botanist guild

dire prawn
#

If I do a dungeon the same level as me with Armoury exp bonus about how many levels will I get off it

glossy flare
#

Depends on the level range

#

At early levels you may well get 1-1.5 levels worth of xp

#

Later it'll be less than a third

dire prawn
#

I'm a 53 RDM so it would be Sohm Al

glossy flare
#

then probably about a third of a level per run

#

maybe a bit less

shut panther
#

the physeos weapon/elemental+2 is a pretty tremendous upgrade if you intend to make multiple Eureka weapons

#

It's effectively.. +4? Levels

obsidian patio
#

Though in terms of fragment efficiency it’s better to upgrade the elemental armor first if you haven’t

#

Also the armor can be used for multiple classes instead of just one, assuming not dragoon or ninja

hollow briar
#

Are there any classes/jobs as a noob anyone can say are definitely must-try's?

glossy flare
#

Depends on what you want

hollow briar
#

Outleveled MSQ so much with a lvl 49 NIN with lvl 25-26 MSQ and wanting to maybe level something else 😂

glossy flare
#

Like, in terms of complexity?

hollow briar
#

I mean I'm on NIN

#

Which is apparently 1 of the more complex classes

#

So tbh complexity doesn't scare me

glossy flare
#

Eh, not really once you have actually remembered what all the mudra combinations are

hollow briar
#

If anything it can motivate me to try and be better at it unless it's just not worth playing

glossy flare
#

Anyway, I'd recommend branching out in terms of role

#

Always good to have a tank and/or heal job on hand

hollow briar
#

Well wanting DRK but that's a good ways away

#

I'll be buying full game later this week

#

And my MSQ's are at lvl 25...

#

So oof

glossy flare
#

Still leaves healer

#

You could go with Arcanist which branches off into Summoner and Scholar later

hollow briar
#

Tbh I don't care for healer much

#

Anything supportish that isn't healer?

glossy flare
#

That has the added benefit of leveling 2 jobs at once

#

Dancer is low personal dps but high rdps

hollow briar
#

rdps?

glossy flare
#

But you're a few levels short of unlocking that

#

raid dps

warped nest
#

Raid Dps

hollow briar
#

Ahh ok

glossy flare
#

Like a good chunk of dancer dps comes from buffing others

hollow briar
#

o_O

warped nest
#

It is your personal Dps, plus additional damage done by other players to the enemies coming from your buff or debuff

hollow briar
#

Yea so they bring alot of group value. Not so much actual dps

warped nest
#

I won't say a good chunk

glossy flare
#

They still deal good dmg on themselves

hollow briar
#

How's Monk?

glossy flare
#

I'm just saying, rdps is their thing

warped nest
#

Fast and busy

hollow briar
#

Was the other one I was considering before NIN

glossy flare
#

Monk's pretty fast and busy

#

lots of positionals

#

as in all of your gcds are positionals

hollow briar
#

Jesus.

warped nest
#

Monk combo is based on stance

hollow briar
#

More complex than NIN?

warped nest
#

Performing a move put you in a new stance

hollow briar
#

Or just faster?

glossy flare
#

It's not any more or less complex than NIN mudra

warped nest
#

Monk is the fastest

hollow briar
#

What good AoE wise? Anything besides Dancer and BLM?

finite topaz
#

MNK is the most complex melee

glossy flare
#

Yeah it has a trait that at lvl 76 reduces your base gcd to 2.0 seconds before skillspeed

warped nest
#

They can all AOE

glossy flare
#

Everyone can aoe

hollow briar
#

I assumed there were classes with better

warped nest
#

All jobs can do everything their role required

glossy flare
#

though I will say BLM aoe is pretty satisfying

#

the point is that "good aoe" is not really a huge pro to a job

obsidian patio
#

Aoe isn’t really a thing people care about since you really only do it in casual/easy content

finite topaz
#

Well, used to be even more annoying with the GL4 build-up, but currently MNK's complexity comes from PB'ing the right way, doing Twin Snakes, keeping Demolish up all the time and hitting your positionals

obsidian patio
#

It’s not really a thing in high-end stuff a majority of the time

warped nest
#

Summoner do have natural AOE in their moveset, so in certain scenario they edge out

glossy flare
#

Personally I'd say BLM has a pretty shitty leveling experience though

hollow briar
#

Idk I might just stick with leveling Paladin up until I can get to and level Dark Knight

warped nest
#

BLM gains new traits that modify the effect of existing spells as they level up, more so than other Jobs

#

Which makes it very confusing for new players to work out what is their best options at that level range

hollow briar
#

Have lvl 49 NIN, 22 Pugilist and 13 Gladiator

#

So far

warped nest
#

Just play what looks fun

#

There's no wrong choices, only choices that didn't click with you

hollow briar
#

It all looks somewhat fun that's the problem 😂

warped nest
#

Play them all

hollow briar
#

Except Bard.

#

Archery is meh.

#

Wish it was a legitimate Bard. Not an Archer with Bard being slapped on it

#

What level is DRK unlocked?

glossy flare
#

50 but starts at 30

hollow briar
#

50'ish?

#

MSQ wise

glossy flare
#

requires you to get into HW area though

hollow briar
#

Well yea.

#

Fuck I'm far away

glossy flare
#

the other expansion jobs do not require that, that's why I pointed it out

hollow briar
#

ALSO. Because I heard this. Is it true White Mage out dps's all tanks?

finite topaz
glossy flare
#

nah

finite topaz
#

On casual content a healer will outDPS tanks

glossy flare
#

not in a vacuum at least

finite topaz
#

On raids, a healer and a tank are very similar on DPS output

hollow briar
glossy flare
#

than the tank still wins, if both play optimal

warped nest
#

Tank wins, by design

finite topaz
hollow briar
#

It sounded not true to me but my buddy was talking to a mutual friend who's a Warrior main and been playin the game for a while and apparently he said White Mage out dps's all tanks

#

Wasn't sure if he's full of shit

warped nest
#

So, your friend's qualifications are they played tank for a while

hollow briar
#

Or just downplaying tank or what

#

LMFAO. I mean idk what content he's cleared

finite topaz
#

We can use empirical evidence, hold on a sec

hollow briar
#

Pretty sure he's endgame and has cleared basically everything

finite topaz
#

this is aDPS

#

the type of DPS at which WHM excels at

#

WHM is not outDPSing any tank, on Savage, taking into consideration All percentiles

#

Now let me take 95th+

warped nest
#

That chart there are the data from players who uploaded their combat data

finite topaz
#

still nope

warped nest
#

While they cannot represent everyone

#

They are pretty good indicators

hollow briar
#

Its actually somewhat close tho

#

Interesting. Ty for sharing that

finite topaz
#

Course, i said they're on a very similar level

warped nest
#

Close but still under

glossy flare
#

Do note that healer dps is all about healing as little as you can get away with, so it also kind of depends on the group

#

To an extent at least

hollow briar
#

Just trying to get an understanding of the game as I'm still nooby to ALOT

warped nest
#

That's fine

#

Everyone start out new

glossy flare
#

As a healer you basically could cast a dmg gcd or a heal gcd. And every time you can choose to dps instead of healing... that's good

warped nest
#

And knows nothing

hollow briar
#

I've somewhat followed meta off and on for a couple years now everytime I had considered getting into FFXIV and it seems like there's been ALOT of healer meta changes no?

finite topaz
#

FFXIV thankfully has no meta

#

well, it has a general meta which is no duplicate jobs

warped nest
#

Meta in XIV is good for... Speed kill?

hollow briar
#

Well. I guess I more so mean

#

What the best was

glossy flare
#

The jobs are so close in terms of performance that "the best" doesn't matter outside of the extreme top end of players

hollow briar
#

I mean I know and have seen content can and has been completed with a wide range of group setups

warped nest
#

I remember that some jobs aren't as desirable in different expansions, but I don't remember any strict meta...

glossy flare
#

With all setups actually

finite topaz
hollow briar
#

All within just seconds of eachother when it comes to WR's.

warped nest
#

Like Paladin is no good at all in HW times

glossy flare
#

Yea but that's the thing, all this meta stuff only matters if you are shooting for records

warped nest
#

I don't remember what's up with WHM in Stormblood

finite topaz
hollow briar
#

Well even then. I mean it was like a 4+ month old video I saw. But the top 4 times on whatever content it was

#

All had widely variable group comps

finite topaz
#

Yeah, people just play whatever they play best

hollow briar
#

1 even to the point of having 2 Gunbreakers

warped nest
#

I recently watch a video of a solo tank solo healer Ultimate clear

hollow briar
#

1 where apparently DRK was actually considering really low tier and a WR clear had a DRK in it and apparently everyone was questioning it and the guys response as to why he played it was because "I like Dark Knight. It's fun"

warped nest
#

It is just a display of what can be done with a coordinated group

#

Yeah, DRK on UCOB world first

glossy flare
#

It's exactly the point though, if you are good at your job you don't give a fuck about meta

#

Just play what's fun to you and excel at that

hollow briar
#

I mean it's amazing that it's that balanced

finite topaz
#

Learning a job is too complex to just throw it away at the slight change of "meta" in this game

hollow briar
#

But it's so odd for me because I've never played a game that was 😂

glossy flare
#

it's wild 😄

warped nest
#

They put in a lot of work to it

#

And doesn't shy away from making adjustments

hollow briar
#

I will admit. As a new player. New expansion every 2 years seems...eh

glossy flare
#

With the next one right around the corner 2

#

And all expansions tend to shuffle around how the jobs work, to an extent

leaden ginkgo
#

Some random gave me demonic cookie,what do i do with it?,online gave me no clues

warped nest
#

!item demonic cookie

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Demonic Cookie** **:** Seasonal Miscellany : ilvl 1

Though this small baked treat provided by the Continental Circus appears to be a cookie, it is difficult to tell what on Hydaelyn it might contain. Consumption should probably be avoided.

leaden ginkgo
#

idk if i should eat it lol

warped nest
#

It is just a seasonal reward

hollow briar
#

Also...best game discord I've ever been in

#

Being able to literally get an answer for anything with the bot

glossy flare
#

it's just some halloween food iirc

#

eat it

hollow briar
#

And actually how helpful and not toxic it is

warped nest
#

You haven't asked the right question for us to get toxic

#

Yeah, just eat the cookie btw

#

It is Halloween themed food, that's all

#

Oops, didn't see that Cypher has said what I said

glossy flare
#

It's fine, have a sage blob

#

Look, the nouliths wave too

hollow briar
#

Whats the question to make people toxic?

naive quiver
#

Hey guys, i got a question, where can i start the quest for odin? Because i dont have the "Primal Fear" quest at waking sands, ive done ARR and all the dungeons but no quest so far :/

warped nest

How much of the ARR msq have you done

naive quiver
#

Up until to last quest of HW

#

Up to*

warped nest
#

Hmmm, I do not have a good answer on that at the moment

naive quiver
#

Yeah im confused as well :/

hollow briar
#

Also suprised to see NIN so low on that list o_O

glossy flare
#

Just to be absolutely sure because people have got this wrong before

hollow briar
#

O_o

glossy flare
#

You are at the waking sands not the rising stones, yes?

warped nest
#

Ninja has an skill called trick attack

naive quiver
#

Yup in the something bay :P

#

Where urianger is

warped nest
#

!action Trick Attack

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Trick Attack** : lvl 18 ROG NIN (60.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Delivers an attack with a potency of 350.
500 when executed from a target's rear.
Additional Effect: Increases target's damage taken by 5%
Duration: 15s
Can only be executed while under the effect of Hidden.

hollow briar
glossy flare
hollow briar
#

Suiton>Trick Attack

naive quiver
#

Oh i know :P

warped nest
#

Since it is damage received by the enemy

#

It is a debuff that benefits from every single buff your party has

glossy flare
#

that chart up there was aDPS

hollow briar
#

OH

#

I thought it was 5% damage buff to party

glossy flare
#

if you had the same chart with rDPS nin would be 3rd I think

hollow briar
#

Not 5% dmg received by enemy

glossy flare
#

Yeah, nin's 3rd

hollow briar
#

Wow

glossy flare
#

just goes to show how statistics can fuck with your views on things

hollow briar
#

So. rDPS is basically a way they calculate your personal dps and the dps you help achieve because of buffs/debuffs?

glossy flare
#

exactly

hollow briar
#

First game I've played with that o_O

glossy flare
#

it's the more important dps stat tbh

hollow briar
#

Granted it wouldn't exist if people didn't make 3rd party software

slate wave
#

Does anyone have a visual guide on how plus works in triple triad cause the worded guide is confusing and ive asked before and was just told a vauge answer similar to the guide

earnest wraith
#

uh... so AST has highest rdps compare to other healers now?

obsidian patio
#

because it does the least personal damage

glossy flare
#

all those juicy cards + divination

hollow briar
#

Any DoT heavy classes?

#

Just curious

glossy flare
#

all the healers care about dot uptime

hollow briar
#

Meh

obsidian patio
glossy flare
#

but there's not really a job that's all about dots

#

SMN has a dot

#

BLM has a dot

slate wave
#

Ty

glossy flare
#

even SAM has a dot

#

I lied, SMN has 2 dots actually

obsidian patio
#

Summoner and Bard care the most about their dots.

hollow briar
#

I would assume SAM would be dot heavy

obsidian patio
#

Bard's toolkit revolves around getting procs based off your dots doing damage.

glossy flare
#

fair, brd wants dots to proc certain song mechanics

hollow briar
#

Could design it with multiple bleeds and even poisons

obsidian patio
#

SAM only has one dot, but it's a beefy one.

#

!action higanbana

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Higanbana** : lvl 30 SAM (2.5 second cooldown)(1.8 second base cast time)

Delivers an attack with a potency of 250.
Additional Effect: Damage over time
Potency: 40
Duration: 60s Additional Effect: Grants a stack of Meditation, up to a maximum of 3

※This action cannot be assigned to a hotbar.

glossy flare
#

lasts 60 seconds too

#

Higanbana is dummy strong

hollow briar
#

Oh yea. Sorry. So many questions

obsidian patio
#

850 potency, though you always use it with a buff that increases the damage it does by 50%

hollow briar
#

And I keep forgetting to test

#

Is Doton a dot?

glossy flare
#

kind of?

obsidian patio
#

yes, but not one you keep up for single-target.

hollow briar
#

Well yea

#

AoE dot

glossy flare
#

Unless you can do a prepull doton

#

that's okay

#

but that requires the tank to work with you

hollow briar
#

Ok. Wasn't sure because the tooltip says nothing about it

#

But another buddy who was an old Ninja main said it was

glossy flare
#

if a skill mentions dmg and a duration it's usually a dot

#

I think they never really mention it explicitly

hollow briar
#

Was saying it's good for add pulls but other than that

glossy flare
#

That's pretty much it, yeah

hollow briar
#

Because I was asking what Ninjustu are actually solid and worth using or which were prioritized

glossy flare
#

in aoe you put down doton and otherwise spend your mudra on katon

hollow briar
#

Gotcha okay

glossy flare
#

Eventually you'll use all of them

hollow briar
#

Also learned the Hide trick

glossy flare
#

The only really useless one for a long time is Hyoton

hollow briar
#

Which is....probably not intentional? 😅

glossy flare
#

it is intentional

hollow briar
#

Wow

glossy flare
#

even says in the tooltip of hide that it resets mudra charges

#

you can't use hide mid combat so that's fine

#

just means you can put up Huton most of the time

hollow briar
#

OH 😅

#

Need to read tooltips more 💀

#

Might try out Dragoon

glossy flare
#

to be fair, the tooltip doesn't say so when you get hide

hollow briar
#

At least numbers wise it looks solid. Always heard in videos and stuff it was mediocre

glossy flare
#

it gets updated once you unlock your first mudra

#

Some effects are sneaky like that

hollow briar
#

But also seems to have like..a cult playerbase who defend the hell out of the job

dire prawn
glossy flare
#

It is

#

you kaiten both Higanbana and all Midare

#

I'm not sure if the opener allows for it before you get the trait for more kenki generation though

#

But I could be wrong

obsidian patio
#

before 62 you have to do an unbuffed midare to buff higanbana

dire prawn
#

Yep

obsidian patio
#

which is optimal assuming Higanbana lasts the full duration

dire prawn
#

Once you unlock Hissatsu: Kaiten your combos have Kenki generation, but the Kasha and Gekko skills require you to hit the rear and flank of an enemy for that Kenki generation

leaden ginkgo
#

Is it possible to unsync run the CT raids?

#

With a couple of players

thick widget
#

yes, but requires at least 1 person in each alliance

leaden ginkgo
#

ty

obsidian patio
#

note that due to the mechanics of the atomos boss, Labyrinth of the Ancients needs like 9-12 people at the extreme minimum to do

#

Syrcus Tower and World of Darkness don't have mechanics that require more players so just 3 is needed.

what is the fastest recast time for monk right now?

glossy flare

bis monk has 1.96

but you can surely go faster

not sure if you want to though

uuuuuh

Depending on what set pieces you use you will go faster

pearl wharf

ah

glossy flare

the point is, if you stack skill speed like a madman you could probably go pretty darn fast

That table represents mnk gcd under GL4

a trait you get at uh... 76?

pearl wharf
#

thats 3

#

there is no 4

glossy flare
#

ah, my bad

pearl wharf
#

but how would one even get 4800 skill speed

glossy flare
#

it's just how it's referred to

pearl wharf
glossy flare
#

because the first trait is GL, then enhanced GL

#

then the numbers start

#

so it's the 4th GL trait

#

just not actually named that way

pearl wharf
#

i see

glossy flare
#

I dunno, maybe if you stack sks materia like a madman

#

But again, you don't want to go that fast 😄

pearl wharf
#

yeah im trying to figure that out

#

but imagine punching something 7 times in 10 seconds

glossy flare
#

you'll lose dmg if you missalign stuff for raid buffs

pearl wharf
#

<--- doesnt hardcore raid

glossy flare
#

still, it's just not desirable 😄

#

probably fun though

glossy flare
#

putting crit materia in there will help your dmg more

pearl wharf
#

see what im doing is just finding the highest amount of skill speed gear

swift pasture
#

does stormblood and shadowbringers have "epilogue" sidequests like heavensward's the path we walk?

pearl wharf
#

and putting the crit materia on that

#

sort of

#

shadowbringers is spoilers

#

stormblood eeeh

#

idk about like

#

the feel of said said quest

#

cant think of anything off the top of my head

tidal yarrow
#

why am I getting damage down in the navel hard when it targets me with the boulder :(

swift imp
#

why only certain hotbars change when I change to another class / job? can these be changed or "marked" somehow which change and which don't?

glossy flare
#

but healers can esuna it

glossy flare
#

So they won't change when switching gearsets

#

it's under hotbar settings in the character config

swift imp
#

ok I'll check, thanks

warped nest
#

For reference

#

Jobs at most will have around 30 buttons

#

So 4-5 unshared hotbar should do

nimble wren
#

If i want to play on both ps4 and pc, would i have to buy the complete collection for both?

glossy flare
#

yes

jolly sorrel
#

But you only need one active subscription, I do believe.

glossy flare
#

Yup

nimble wren
#

Thanks. So if i would have the starter edition on ps4 and complete collection on pc i would just not be able to do things from the expansions on ps4?

warped nest
#

Yeah

formal meteor
#

For the HoH solo achievement, if I leave HoH after the boss fight on the 10th, 20th or 30th floor, do I have to start over?

obsidian patio
#

you can safely leave after fighting bosses and still get the achievement

#

You just can't abandon mid-duty or die

formal meteor
#

oooh

#

I assume there's no checkpoints after 30?

#

so I'd have to do it in one go from 30 onwards?

obsidian patio
#

it still uses sets of 10 floors

#

so if you need a break after boss 60, you can do so and start it back whenever

potent shale
#

btw, can you get 99 aetherpools on HoH if you do just floor 21 - 30?

formal meteor
#

I see, thank you!

obsidian patio
#

yes, but upgrading chance starts to go down as you go up in aetherpool

vocal canyon
#

Is there a difference between the chicken suit from the quest, and the vendor-bought one?

obsidian patio
#

nope

vital ruin
#

How do I check my elemental level in the character tab

obsidian patio
#

can't. you need to enter eureka to see it.

vital ruin
#

But I'm in anemos and above lv 20

#

All I can see is lv 20

obsidian patio
#

you can see your actual level in the party menu, along with player search

vital ruin
#

Under party member it shows lv 20

cursive mesa
#

I’m a conjurer and I’m level 10

#

I have one damaging skill called stone is that normal ?

coral ermine
#

Yes

cursive mesa
#

It’s annoying

coral ermine
#

Wait do you have aero?

vital ruin
#

You're low level
It'll get better once you keep levelling up

cursive mesa
#

I do

cursive mesa
oak ice
#

It is normal for healers to have few damaging spells, yes

warped nest
oak ice
#

At 45 you get your first AoE

warped nest
#

Just to make sure we are on the same page

#

Like what Plattbagarn said

#

Healers can do damage in this game

#

And is expected to when there's no immediate healing required

cursive mesa
warped nest
#

!item anole egg

zinc orbitBOT
#
Error!

Item not found, Kupo!

oak ice
#

I think you interact with them in the area that has the Anoles in central shroud

#

You go towards the east portion and there's a cliff with a bunch of them. Either the eggs are on the ground and you interact with them or they drop from the mobs, I don't remember

cursive mesa
#

Ooooo I see it

#

Thank you

open grove
#

does anyone here play on ps4?

open coral
#

Sometimes.

#

Did you have a specific question about the PS4 version?

open grove
#

im just tryin to level my gunbreaker to 70

#

im just bored atm and cant sleep

open coral
#

I'm... not sure how that relates to asking if people play on PS4?

open grove
#

wait its cross play?

open coral
#

Yes

open grove
#

oof

open coral
#

The game is 100% cross-platform.

open grove
#

well i play on the light server

glossy flare
#

all servers are cross platform

open grove
#

so say if someone wanted to play with me from discord how would i go about setting up the party

open coral
#

They would have to be on a Light DC server.

glossy flare
#

ask their ingame name, add them as a friend

open coral
#

But basically just either one of you world visit and player search the other, then invite them to party, or make a crossworld PF group.

open grove
#

ok

#

so ig the best xp i could get is by doing 50/60/70 dungeon runs

open coral
#

No

#

NO

#

50/60/70 dungeons give shit for xp

pulsar escarp
#

49/59/69

#

lol

open coral
#

At level 70, your best xp will be daily roulettes > highest level leveling dungeon (69/71/73/75/77/79)

pulsar escarp
#

yee

crimson crystal
#

Is there a place to see all patches that have been released? I'm curious how many 5.5x have been out

jolly sorrel
crimson crystal
#

Alright, thanks

glossy flare
#

hotfixes don't get their own notes there afaik

jolly sorrel
#

Also don't count as 5.5x's

crimson crystal
#

Yeah no 5.51 yet. I suppose 5.5 like just came out lol

open grove
#

ok im gonna run some dungeons then

glossy flare
#

2 weeks ago

open coral
#

Yeah, we're way too close to the actual patch for a 5.5X to have come out.

fossil condor
#

What's a fast way to level up?

jolly sorrel
#

Don't we have a !faq for that?

glossy flare
#

!faq altlvlguide

zinc orbitBOT
jolly sorrel
#

That's the one, I forgot

glossy flare
#

I'm gonna say it again, that command really needs an update to mention Bozja

#

plus the 1 to 70 seems misleading with the lvl cap being 80

#

soon to be 90

open grove
#

oh how do you farm gil as well

open coral
#

Take it up with the mentors and mods.

open coral
jolly sorrel
#

If you want /big gil/, gotta work harder for it yeah

open coral
#

Daily roulettes and weekly challenge log objectives can potentially give a few 100k per week, cumulative.

slate arrow
#

Gil is entirely useless outside of housing and specific collectible mounts

glossy flare
#

how much are those luxury mounts again?

slate arrow
#

25 and 50mil

glossy flare
#

damn

open coral
#

Ugh

#

Maybe I'll have that much one day.

slate arrow
#

which are just reskinned versions of the namazu and qitrari mounts

open grove
#

i mean i use gil to buy off market board

#

literally all i use it for

glossy flare
#

add selling to that equation

#

boom, profit

jolly sorrel
#

I think I got like, 10~20M just from completing my crafting log from level 51 to 60 and selling everything. To give a bit of a reference frame.

#

Which, mind you, isn't in a days work.

little swift
neat stratus
#

How long is the HW MSQ vs ARR?

little swift
#

Were well aware it needs to be updated

glossy flare
#

Oh right I've been told this before

little swift
#

Yes I told you this last time

glossy flare
#

my bad, it's just bugging me probably

little swift
#

Hw msq has fewer amount of quests and is a tad shorter compared to arr but is still a decent full length game on its own

leaden ginkgo
#

Quick question as i am doing HW
So do trial account get the post hw interlude and raids? Or is that tied to stormblood ,-,?

jolly sorrel
#

If its going to be updated to level 80 just before Endwalker launch, isn't that two more years of the same issue?

open coral
little swift
#

Yes because we only have the data that we have tael

#

You can't update it with information that doesn't exist

open coral
#

The people making the guides are just players.

#

It's not like the guides are an official SE resource.

jolly sorrel
#

Oh, I meant more like, we have the data to get to level 80 already right? I'm not sure why wait until right before Endwalker

glossy flare
#

To be fair, you could probably put a small mention under the link that the same principles apply for lvl 71-80

jolly sorrel
#

oh, that's fair. Its all community work and this is the wrong channel too

jade pollen
#

I wonder: would the "accompany marauder" count itself (meaning it would always be activated) or it does not?

mental oracle
#

not the other one at the same time

little swift
#

Needs to be accompanied by another squadron member

jade pollen
#

thanks

little swift
#

Not itself

sage fiber
#

I sent an item to a friend through Delivery Moogle and they never accepted it. Is there a way to recover said item?

elder sorrel
#

Is Behemoth a good server for a complete newbie to start in? I don't care about exp bonuses, I'm just concerned about the general health of a server and its guild activity

jolly sorrel
#

I don't think there's a way to recover mogmails.

wintry chasm
#

I mean those two things are going to be fine regardless where you are tbh. It's not like you're going to join a server and find that there is no guilds lol. "health" is kinda moot because you do content across the entire data center and also tbh a preferred server would probably feel busier than most servers due to that being where all new players get funnelled by default

kind eagle
#

you have to do eden 1-12 before starting savage?

agile laurel
#

you have to do 1-4 before unlocking 1-4

#

and so on

jolly sorrel
#

You unlock savage per set of 4

kind eagle
#

so i can just start from e9s-e12s?

agile laurel
#

yes

kind eagle
#

i mean

#

e9n-e12n

wintry chasm
#

No

agile laurel
#

no, you need to do the whole of eden story

wintry chasm
#

^ normal you gotta do in order

agile laurel
#

when you have completed e12n, you can unlock the savage variant

elder sorrel
#

I see. I started in Exodus yesterday and it was certainly way busier than Behemoth because of all the new players. I'm just trying to make a sound decision for like long-term, you know? I had problems in WoW after picking bad servers so I don't wanna relive that situation

wintry chasm
#

I haven't played WoW but from how I understand the situation XIV really doesn't have the same problem

jolly sorrel
#

I don't think XIV has any "bad" servers. Some are more oriented towards one thing than another, but most important content happens datacenter-wide, and you can freely travel between different worlds.

kind eagle
#

guess its hard to help a friend then

#

less people doing normal

#

can i like unsync it?

jolly sorrel
#

In my experience, queueing for Eden normal isn't any slower than another random dungeon

slate arrow
#

!faq worldpick

zinc orbitBOT
#
Which world should I pick?

You can play on any world on any datacenter within FFXIV. Aside from the languages spoken, the physical location of the servers, and the status of each world, there are no major differences. This also means population on a given server is quite meaningless.

The majority of content is cross-world, with the exception of Free Companies, Linkshells, and restrictions when visiting other worlds.

If you don't mind where you play, choose a world that is Preferred or New for character creation bonuses. Check world status by using !status <world name> or via the Lodestone. For information about the status types, use !faq worldtype.

Notable worlds:

  • Balmung & Mateus (Role-playing)
  • Tonberry & Kujata (Large amount of Oceanic players)
  • Moogle (Large amount of French players)
  • Shiva (Large amount of German players)
    ANY CENSUSES OR WORLD STEREOTYPES BEYOND THIS IS INACCURATE BIAS AND SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY
elder sorrel
#

Also, weird question but why do I come across so many ppl sitting down on chairs and benches? Is there any sort of buff to that or... I've played many different MMOS for almost 2 decades but this is by far the MMO with most ppl sitting down lol

jolly sorrel
#

Nope. Just people who feel like sitting down.

fading aurora
#

People like to rp @elder sorrel

elder sorrel
#

I assume they do private RPing then because I don't see any public messages. (Yes I stalked them)

fading aurora
#

O.o

jolly sorrel
#

I'm not sure its RP so much as.. just casual expression

#

If I type /sit it doesn't necessarily mean that I am suddenly in character with a backstory or whatnot. It means that I felt like sitting.

elder sorrel
#

Well that's the first impression that I had yes, but still, it's an interesting phenomenon to see so many ppl sitting down, even in remote places where there's barely any player activity. I assumed it had some sort of self buff mechanic

fading aurora
#

And because you felt like sitting it means you are rping by not sitting in real life but in game

random girder
#

there are also a lot of people that like to sit when afking

elder sorrel
#

As a new player I thought it gave you the "rested buff" even when outside sanctuaries, but I guess not

open coral
#

If you're getting a rested xp bonus, there will be a little crescent moon icon to the right of your xp bar.

wintry chasm
#

Honestly whenever I afk I find somewhere to sit down

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

random girder
#

i used to /sit everywhere thinking it would give me increased hp regen haha

fading aurora
#

I know u get bahamut at level 70 but how do u get the phoenix?

fading aurora
#

What is the skill name

random girder
#

its a trait i think, dreadwyrm trance gets converted into firebird trance when you get a bahamut stack

open coral
#

Firebird Trance, I think?

elder sorrel
wintry chasm
#

Firebird trance but yeah it's not a skill you put on the hotbar

random girder
#

you can look in your skills by pressing p

fading aurora
#

Is it a quest skill then?

fresh lodge
#

No

random girder
#

no you just get it by leveling

fresh lodge
#

You get Firebird Trance at 74? Iirc, then at 80 it summons Phoenix

fading aurora
#

One last question , is the phoenix an upgrade to bahamut or does it count as a dif pet with aoe

open coral
#

It's a different phase

fresh lodge
#

Its a different pet

random girder
#

different pet, summoner rotation is dw trance -> bahamut -> phoenix with downtime in between

jolly sorrel
#

You might want to check out a SMN guide, it will help you more 🙂

fresh lodge
#

You go DWT > Bahamut > FBT/Phoenix

random girder
#

^

slate arrow
#

Its egi > Bahamut > egi > phoenix

... is that out of date? I hope it isn't.

fading aurora
#

@jolly sorrel most of the guides I've seen don't explain it that well it's mostly people doing super fast rotations without much explanation

slate arrow
#

Your first mistake was using youtube.

random girder
open coral
#

akhmorning has a nice guide for SMN

random girder
#

#

Youtube will usually not hit the points you need outside of specific creators

Just use the guide Indy linked

#

Do u need pazuzu feathers for the anemos version of lv 70 job gear, the armor

strange coral
#

Only for the relic I think

#

You also don't need to upgrade the armor to purchase the elemental set

How do I use glamour plates? I don't fully understand how to

#

Also I got a tyrannosaur horn from lockboxes but I already have 1
I can't trade it nor sell on mb
Do I just sell to NPCs

#

How to save plates, where I can change glamour plates

#

I get the gist that its to save glamour sets for easier access but I can't save any plates and I dunno how I can change them as well.

Why the hell is this mission always a failure? I'm only missing like 30 points in 1 attribute...

#

if you place a dresser there

wintry chasm
lilac thicket
#

how exactly do i lose blue to add yellow... they only allow me to get a max of 280 attributes from training

lone canyon
#

Certain trainings will lose one attribute for the other

slate arrow
#

Training after hitting max attributes redistributes your existing training stats

boreal storm
#

If you’re maxed it swaps around boosts to make them work

lilac thicket
#

but i can't just lose blue, if i want to train yellow both red and blue will go down.

lone canyon
#

20 points each for red and blue

#

Yellow gets 40

lilac thicket
#

and then ill be short on red...

lone canyon
#

You can go Yellow then Red

boreal storm
#

You can still try a different combination of characters

For the PC version, is there any way to enabled vibration when using a Dualsense?

vital ruin
#

What does tenacity even do

strange coral
#

"Affects the amount of physical and magical damage dealt and received, as well as HP restored."

jolly sorrel
#

I have no idea about a Dualsense, but for my PS4 controller I had to install a third party program to emulate an xbox one instead.

strange coral
#

However, the amount it actually affects isn't worth melding it over other stats.

vital ruin
#

if you put everything into tenacity it's like 8% mitigation

its not a ban, its a suspension

they just need to verify the information for the account

can't really blame the admins for that tho

is that only for flying

you have to purchase riding maps from the centurio hunts vendors for more speed

Hi all, attempting to change colour of my chocobo. Do I need to keep it in the stable for 6 hours for the colour change to take effect

#

Or can i fetch it out for use

agile laurel
#

it needs to remain in the stable until coloured

upper cove
#

Noted! Thanks for the swift reply @agile laurel

agile laurel
#

which brain says 'overnight' but 6 hours sounds possibly correct

#

could well be 12

#

i may be wrong there tho

jolly sorrel
#

The default color of the chocobo is Desert Yellow. Players can change the color of their Chocobo by feeding them snacks while the chocobo is in its Stable. Once the chocobo has been fed a suitable combination of snacks, its plume will change after 6 hours (Earth Time). Keep in mind that different snacks will alter the colors differently. The chocobo must be kept in the Stable for a minimum of 6 hours for coloration to take place.

upper cove
#

@agile laurel I mentioned 6 because the in game notification tells me the plume will be read in 6 hours!

#

@jolly sorrel thanks! That's exactly what I needed too

torpid juniper

Is there a quick way to switch between 2 gear set lists?

You can "drag" entries from your gear set lists onto a hotbar, if that is what you mean?

I just downloaded the game for the first time, gonna play with a few friends (with the trial to begin with), I know we won't be able to form a party ourselves but that we can get invited. We're gonna start on Phoenix, anyone knows if the server has a discord of its own so we could maybe ask for a party creation from there? Or is there a proper place to ask on this discord?

torpid juniper
#

@grizzled garden I remember having issues since I forgot I made a square account years ago. I was confused for about an hour and had to reset passwords and stuff.

My in law can't even access his account anymore. Not sure what happened but he definitely isn't a hacker or someone who's offensive. Something about maybe it got hacked so they locked it but he can't figure out how to get back into it. Quit trying after a few days.

@grizzled garden if you aren't locked into anything maybe make a whole new square account and all that.

@grizzled garden honestly shouldn't be this hard so it's possible something went wrong. Could always call customer support too

ive already tried that twice, and i cant even access an account i made last year
because when i first started that account had already used the free trial, which is why i made the next two

could it just be a server side thing? like, square enix taking forever to verify my account andthats why i cant login?

Seems like it's not possible to show expanded hotbar permanently, I'll adjust my muscle memory to use WXB and throw out of combat stuff on the expanded

I will just add and this isn't really a spoiler but I'll tag it anyway. ||the earliest you can see her again is in an optional piece of content you can miss||

@wintry chasm thanks for reaching out, but seems like restarting the pc has fixed it :d

Oh yeah if he only just added the expansions and stuff he'd have to log out first for the game to update lol

Is a nice story but sure it's not ultimately important to later plot ¯_(ツ)_/¯

One of those small nods the game has

torpid juniper
#

Trying to do the Artemis Bow quest and need to do a Duty in Ampador Keep but I went to that location on the map and don't see it.

light monolith
#

Also ,what happened with the dungeon tank queue's. lol. I remember them being 1-2 mins max, now it's almost 20mins and still no pop on 75-80 dungs

high otter
#

Also is there a reason why dragoons use all draconic style with armor and weapons, while fighting AGAINST dragons? I didn't start Heavensward yet btw, so if it's explained there — don't spoil please

#

I'd understand if dragons were sacred idols or something like that, but it's quite opposite, no?

wintry chasm
#

Fighting fire with fire let's say

#

So i managed to beat ARR and 7th astral with PLD but im making a new charachter so I can play with friends on a different data center and I switched to LNC, are there any differences I should keep in mind going from tank to melee dps outside of the obvious

  1. dont attack something if the tank hasnt build aggro on it
  2. your ranged attack sucks
  3. try not to get hit by AOEs since the healer isnt focusing on you now
wintry chasm
#

Stand at the enemies' asses

fresh dagger
#

Okay, and thats because of cone aoes right?

wintry chasm
#

Otherwise I don't think there is much to it

wintry chasm
#

so you want to stay at the back to get them

fresh dagger
#

Are there any examples of like, reverse cone aoes? Which come out of the anemies backs

wintry chasm
#

Yes

high otter
# wintry chasm Dragoons use dragon powers to do stuff

Still feels wrong. If I'm not wrong, their church condemns ANYTHING tied to dragons, to the point the execute people for it. And in the same time they have a small army, that uses draconic powers and wears scaled armor with horns

wintry chasm
#

The crocodile ass things in Qarn for example do cone aoes backwards with their tail

fresh dagger
#

Sunken temple of Qarn? Isnt that optional now?

wintry chasm
#

Yeah it is optional

#

also you still want to hit those bonuses Rooby

fresh dagger
#

Fair enough, I played xenoblade so hopefully I'll be fine lmao

wintry chasm
strange coral
#

You'll learn a lot more about that stuff with HW and some from the DRG job quests

fresh dagger
#

Yeah from what little I played of heavensward the church kinda came off as the bad guys, or at least are an equally flawed faction compared to the dragons

Is there a way to make the mount hotbar show up automatically when riding a mount with actions (e.g. Cloud Mallow)? It does that for quests and such, but not if I’m just doing my own thing. I have it enabled and I can switch to it from my default bar

warm snow
#

Yes

#

One sec lemme find it

#

I only know how to do it for controller tho

rough fossil
#

I am on PS4 btw

warm snow
#

It's character configs > hotbar settings > display > automatically replace crosshotbar 1 with pet hotbar when mounted

#

Should be able to tap r1 to cycle on off your mount hotbar with whatever crosshotbar you were using before

#

There's also a setting for use mount hotbar under hotbar settings > cross

#

Might need that too, I can't fully remember

rough fossil
#

Yeah so I have those settings enabled and everything but it still defaults to my regular hotbar when mounted and I have to toggle to the mount bar

upper cove
#

@rough fossil ps4 user here. Just curious why do you want to default to the pet mount actions?

faint flare
#

For cannons

#

And the like

#

Rp instances use the pet mount action bar

rough fossil
#

Well if they’re there I want to use them because it’s fun

upper cove
#

I see.

faint flare
#

Plus while mounted you kinda dont need your own usual hotbar anyway

upper cove
#

I was thinking you might have issues dismounting but I guess notn😅

#

Very true

faint flare
#

The dismount button is generally on there...plus you can still use the extended/wxhb to dismount if your mount ks there

upper cove
#

Actuslly, I kind of open up my menus to take a look when I'm on autopilot

rough fossil
#

I don’t see why that would affect tour ability to dismount. But I mount/dismount using R3 anyway

upper cove
#

I was gonna suggest using either l1+r1 to Dismount, or whatever hotkey you use to summon the mount. I have a sprint+mount macro set to L3

astral violet
#

any geforce experience filter user here? >.<

upper cove
#

I know someone who assumed you can only dismouny using the dismount hotkey from the mount hotbar so

rough fossil
#

Well then seems extra useful to have it default to the mount hotbar then

Hello, does someone know if we can do tribal quests with higher lvls and give the crafts with lower lvls so we can gain exp with it ?

little swift
#

you can do this with the earlier level beast tribes, where you accept it on the lower level tribe, craft it on the higher level

faint flare
#

Combat no, crafts yes provided they meet the minimum level

little swift
#

the key thing to remember is to accept the quests on the job you want the exp on

faint flare
#

Same applies to custom deliveries, but you Turn in on the job you want the xp on

strange coral

Try restarting the game. Sometimes logging out and back in fixes weird npc issues

tall osprey
#

I did, had this issue since yesterday

#

The quest still won't appear :/

strange coral
#

You're sure you abandoned it? Check your quest log.

tall osprey
#

Just double checked, its not there

#

I already issued a ticket in-game

#

but idk how long it'll take them to reply

prime cargo
#

guys can paladin or dark nights be dps classes or do they have to be tanks ?

crystal bluff
#

They are tanks

leaden ginkgo
#

when should rdm use moulinet

faint flare
#

Aoe

#

Its your aoe spendee

strange coral
#

You'll have to wait on support then. The only other thing I can think of is that you're not on fisher class when talking to Sisipu. @tall osprey

prime cargo
#

okay.. how hard is tanking in ffxiv? like for a player that never played this game before

faint flare
#

Easiest role in the game

leaden ginkgo
#

do i always wait til it’s enchanted

faint flare
#

Yes, you never use unenchanted sword attacks

tall osprey
#

@strange coral Thanks man

#

That was it

dusky dirge
#

Can anyone help with ACT so I can become a better player?

faint flare
#

Cause then they're physical and dont scale of your int

leaden ginkgo
#

oh kk

prime cargo
#

really? i thought tanks was hard because they need to know every dung and raids and stuff

crystal bluff
#

Nah

faint flare
#

Lol no

#

Just dont stand in bad stupid

#

Put tank stance on > hit things > use defensive cooldowns > dont stand in bad stupid

split isle

theres a couple good act install guides on youtube if you want help with that

faint flare
#

And you're better than majority of tanks

slate arrow
#

Normal is just don't stand in the obviously telegraphed attack 90% of the time

#

(normal/hard)

dusky dirge

Thanks @split isle I used it for eq2 but it seems harder to access

Extreme is also don't stand in the telegraphed attack but this time with no orange warning indicator

ACT/Parsing

Advanced Combat Tracker (ACT) can be used to view and record combat in real time to see player damage, healing, etc. ACT logs can then be uploaded to FFLogs to compare your performance with other players.

ACT/FFLogs Guide

Please note this software is technically against the FFXIV Terms of Service and should only be used for personal improvement. Mentioning ACT/Parsing in-game, particularly to harass other players, is likely to result in punishment against your Square Enix account.

Oh, and sometimes tank swap

faint flare
#

See link @dusky dirge

strange coral
#

It helps to know the fights, but the same is true of dps and healers. You can learn by doing them. Or you can watch a video guide for each dungeon, but it's not necessary .

grave hatch
#

Tanks is easiest to learn because you survive mistakes nobody else would lol

faint flare
#

Good old tank privilege

#

Literally just.press your buttons

#

And dont stand in the very obvious bad

prime cargo
#

well fair enough, then i will keep leveling my paladin 🙂 btw one more question though... is it worth to buy the game.. right now im on free trial.. like what would u guys in here recommend ? keep leveling as free trial or buy as fast as i can so i dont miss anything

leaden ginkgo
#

i waited til i got to lvl 60

faint flare
#

Buying primarily lifts trial restrictions until you get later into the game to access expansion content

steel hornet
#

i find keeping AoE aggro pretty difficult but maybe thats cause my tanks are level 30 at most

split isle
#

if you want to try out multiple classes and level them you should just do that on free trial since you can go to 60 and not have to spend money

faint flare
#

Its not hard

stiff skiff
#

How do I get to ishgard, I am not attuned to any of the crystals there and can't travel there by airship.

faint flare
#

If you lost aggro then your gear is shit or you're not aoeing

steel hornet
faint flare
#

Every gcd

strange coral
faint flare
#

Everyone should be AOEing at 3+ mobs

#

Its just more dps

prime cargo
#

@tall osprey dont think i have that class? cant see it on main screen

stiff skiff
faint flare
#

Gunbreaker is an expansion job yoy get at 60

stiff skiff
#

All I know.

split isle
#

some classes dont have aoe at that low of a level, but as long as you are you shouldnt have a problem holding aggro even if they are single targeting one

prime cargo
#

ah okay 😄 well im only lvl 12 so long way to go still trying to figure stuff out with quest map and all that

faint flare
#

Tanks in general aoe at 2+ mobs cause again its just more dps

#

Due to how aoe damage works

strange coral
# stiff skiff Story

Teleport to dragonhead and coerthas central highland and go west to the gate/bridge. There's an entrance thing there.

faint flare
#

80 potency to 2 mobs is better than 130 to one mob

steel hornet
#

i havent played tank since the changes from ShB so PLD having an AoE that does damage still doesnt register in my brain a lot. but i didn't know to basically spam it

faint flare
#

Tanks even have aoe combos now

#

So

#

Get used to them

!action holy circle

pld has 3 aoe really. Even your magic phase has an aoe move that is better at 2+ targets

And that

For pld

@prime cargo I said I wasn't gonna buy the game untill I hit lvl 60 on all classes but I ended up doing it , the market and stuff is very useful imo

steel hornet
#

id say if you play the game till ARR is done and find you like it, buying it is probably worth it at that point

slate arrow
#

If you like ARR, buy it

#

Everything that comes after is simply just better

steel hornet
#

pretty much ^

fading aurora
#

Does bahamut cast a spell every time I do? So if all your spells are instant spam cast he also spams them?

slate arrow
#

Yes

#

So it's why you want a maximum number of casts under Bahamut

#

To maximize dps

faint flare
#

You can still only get 8 Wyrmwaves out of bahamut

#

Even by spamming instants

steel hornet
slate arrow
#

yes

And some at 2+

#

ive heard mixed things about holy spam

slate arrow
#

what

#

No

faint flare
#

But within doubt, aoe spam at 3+

slate arrow
#

Holy spam good for like 10 seconds

#

After that it's as needed due to resistance

Only fucking stupid people say bad things about holy

Do you want to give every tank hallowed ground every pull?
