faint flare
Yes
ripe hound
You get to be Rez Mage
modest igloo
all jobs are fun
faint flare
One of the more simplier and straightforward jobs
modest igloo
its just fun is subjective
ripe hound
I personally really enjoy having the backflip being mandatory for DPS
RDM’s physical abilities like backflip still scale with Mind right?
faint flare
Yes
ripe hound
Cool
ripe hound
Right
leaden ginkgo
Well I’m a summoner right now. In all mmorpg, I’m always always melee.
This time I wanted to switch it up for the first time in 5-6 years so I chose caster
I’m a summoner and OMG so fucking slow
You have to wait like 3 seconds to cast a spell and trust me
ripe hound
No worry, all class is slow in early game
leaden ginkgo
3 seconds sounds little bit but that shit feels so long
ancient pendant
Never play Black mage haha
remote lintel
summoner is faster than black mage
little swift
All casters have that cast time
leaden ginkgo
I’m lv 44 or something
modest igloo
thats still early game
faint flare
Every job has to wait the 2.5s to do things
remote lintel
and you get a ton of instant casts later on
faint flare
Cause of the gcd
leaden ginkgo
Yeah but when mobs attack me i always have to cancel my cast and dodge there attack
ripe hound
If you prefer a faster class, you might want to try Machinist, Monk, or Ninja
little swift
Its only slightly quicker on astrologian for the cast portion the recast is still the same
leaden ginkgo
Well I don’t want to be melee anymore
little swift
!faq slidecast
leaden ginkgo
Yeah ruin 2 and swift cast lol
zinc orbitBOT
faint flare
And egi assaults
ripe hound
I think in late game SMN is the most oGCD heavy caster?
leaden ginkgo
What’s slidecast
faint flare
Egi assaults are how you dps on the move
remote lintel
read above
ancient pendant
At least with summoner, you have the DOTs and the egi's attacking so you're not JUST waiting on Ruin
little swift
Basically slidecasting is moving before the cast is finished but the cast still completes
leaden ginkgo
Interesting
little swift
Its something you have to get a feel for but it makes the casting and movement feel a bit better
ripe hound
Better ping usually means smoother slide casting right?
leaden ginkgo
Also I chose summoner thinking like big ass summoners
little swift
Skill that is pretty important
leaden ginkgo
I got myself a tiny ifrit lol
ripe hound
Yeah you later get 2 big summons
little swift
You do get some bigger summons
ripe hound
But later
remote lintel
summoner only has temporary big summons
little swift
At 70 and 80
leaden ginkgo
Maybe I’m relying too much on past ff lol
If you can say rn, what’s the strongest DPS class?
remote lintel
it doesnt matter
faint flare
The one played properly
remote lintel
but for personal dps its a tie between summoner black mage and samurai
little swift
Let this game be its own thing, recognize that it references/call backs to other ff titles but its very much its own thing as well
ripe hound
Depends on the fight
modest igloo
If you can say rn, what’s the strongest DPS class?
!faq meta
zinc orbitBOT
leaden ginkgo
@little swift doing my best for this
ripe hound
Yeah, movement ability as in, REPRISE!
remote lintel
what i mean is it has the least amount of instant casts
leaden ginkgo
I think red mage is so fuckijg awesome in other games
modest igloo
slowest caster, but has dualcast
ripe hound
(Sad RDM noises)
ancient pendant
Maybe try Archer/Bard? idk
faint flare
You do 2 gcd back to back then wait for the gcd timer
leaden ginkgo
Fuck
modest igloo
so every other gcd is instant
ripe hound
RDM have extremely consistent movement speed
faint flare
Casted spell > instant dual casted spell > waiting for the gcd
leaden ginkgo
Quick question this game has raids? Also are they long raids or just one boss raids ?
ripe hound
Yeah, but boss raids
remote lintel
theres 24 man raids and 8 man riads
faint flare
1 boss for high end raids
remote lintel
8 man raids are 1 boss, 24 man raids are multiple boss
ripe hound
24 man casual raids are long
leaden ginkgo
Ok cus I loved raiding in WoW
modest igloo
ultimates are multiple raids all in one go
leaden ginkgo
And I heard pvp is dead in this game right?
faint flare
24mans are basically just 24man dungeons
remote lintel
a bit
faint flare
Pvp isn't a focus
modest igloo
frontline exists but its nothing compared to wow
remote lintel
the only forms that arent dead are frontlines and the small community of competitive pvpers
ripe hound
It’s mostly more like a side mini game
leaden ginkgo
Alright very nice
ripe hound
I think Mahjong is more popular than PvP lol
remote lintel
probably
leaden ginkgo
I’m really enjoying the game though
ripe hound
Yeah, it’s a fun game
modest igloo
blue mage is better side content lol
heavy wadi
pvp is a fun side activity
modest igloo
now THAT is a fun caster
ripe hound
It gets a lot faster late game, since you often do multiple stuff every GCD
leaden ginkgo
Also super stupid question but I read somewhere that they will not make more expansions for this game lol??)
remote lintel
yes they will
modest igloo
not true
ripe hound
Next expansion is ENDWALKER
modest igloo
this expansion is the final one OF THE MAIN ARC
heavy wadi
not the main arc
ripe hound
One new expansion every 2 year, pretty consistent
modest igloo
there will be more
remote lintel
they will start a new story arc after the next expansion
heavy wadi
the last 10 years, new story coming afterwards
leaden ginkgo
I heard this game is the second most played so it made me happy
ripe hound
Oh yeah, in the next expansion the current main arc ends
remote lintel
we dont know the numbers but i guess its popular
leaden ginkgo
Am I late into shadowbringers or did it start like how long ago
remote lintel
almost 2 years ago
modest igloo
came in in summer 2019
remote lintel
but you can never be late
modest igloo
but you have more than enough time to do everything you want
modest igloo
my static is doinga lot of old raid content for fun
remote lintel
we're in a period of almost no content right now so you have time to catch up
ripe hound
Next expansion is probably around 6 month later
faint flare
It's fall
ripe hound
5 month?
leaden ginkgo
Yeah I been playing a lot recently and since no work covid so yeah I’m sure I’ll catch up quick
ripe hound
Yeah, just make sure you do the Main story
leaden ginkgo
Also I haven’t been to gold saucer when can I go?
heavy wadi
sept-oct is the predicted release window, but we'll probably find out at fanfest next week

zinc orbitBOT
leaden ginkgo
It hasn’t taken me

It's a blue quests
leaden ginkgo
Perfect I screenshot
ripe hound
Yeah, what’s the command for quests again?
vague otter
Hello everyone! Im hoping you can help me with my question 🙂 I played a Triple Triad game against a random guy in Ul`Dah and won a card, it says in the log "You obtain a Lolorito Nanarito card" But when I go into the "Gold Saucer" menu to look at the card its not there :S And it says I have only the 5 I got in the tutorial. Do I need to go to the Gold Saucer or something to aquire it?
remote lintel
its just !quest
ripe hound
Like Difference between MSQ, blue quests, etc.
pallid bluff
where's the option to turn off repeated cutscenes?
remote lintel

ripe hound
!quest
zinc orbitBOT
faint flare
Hello everyone! Im hoping you can help me with my question 🙂 I played a Triple ...
Use the card item
heavy wadi
you have to right click and use it yeah
remote lintel
i dont think theres a command for the difference
ripe hound
Hmm
vague otter
@faint flare aaaah, ofc! Didnt think about that 🙂
ripe hound
I thought there was one... weird
But yeah, MSQ and Job quests are mandatory, blue quests are recommended to do. Everything else is just story.
vague otter
MSQ = Main Story Questline? 🙂 Or what is it short for?
remote lintel
yes
vague otter
Cool cool

Say what should I buy with Yellow Crafter's scrips when I have 2000?
modest igloo
master books for crafters
after than, look on your MB for old crafting materia to sell
since some is still used for BiS
clever bough
Master II is only traded for for some rare materials was it?
clever bough
Argh being close to 80 "only" with all my crafters makes this take up more inventory space than I like to admit
clever bough
Yeah I am on a limited subscription my two retainers are filled to the brim as is my inventory
As soon as I manage to gather all the materials required for all the ... Crystarium Delivery thingies ... forgot the name ... my inventory will get so much new space
Facet?
little swift
Crystarium/facet delivery is the used terminology
Managing your inventory as a crafter with 2 retainers is doable just requires a lot more from you
open ember
2 full inventories? Mayhap some cleaning might be in order
Either start selling or discarding some things
heavy wadi
honestly you should just sell the stuff you aren't using on the mb
even if it doesn't go for much you can make a bit of a profit from it
bad to hoard if you don't have a 3rd retainer
clever bough
That is rather stuff I hold on to in case I want to craft stuff for my alt jobs (e.g. the freakin coerthas tea leaves you need to cure leather)
heavy wadi
that's my point though, if you don't need it immediately i wouldn't hang onto it

If you cancel character customisation when using Fantasia, can you then re-enter it or does it remove the Fantasia too?

Which healing class is the most classic straightforward healer? Think like priest in WoW if you played that 🙂

you can reenter when you log into that character again

white mage
clever bough
Which healing class is the most classic straightforward healer? Think like pries...
White Mage / Conjurer
modest igloo
CNJ/WHM
faint flare
You press button, people healrd
vague otter
White mage it is then 🙂
clever bough
White Mage heals so much you do not even need to do it actively
Just angrily staring at people who get hit is most often enough to heal them back to full
manic flare
Which healing class is the most classic straightforward healer? Think like pries...
the main difference between WoW and FFXIV healers is that FFXIV healers are expected to spend 75% of their time dps'ing
heavy wadi
not the question they asked
manic flare
so i dont think there will be much similarities
manic flare
not the question they asked
don't gatekeep if you aren't a mentor. i didin't feel like there was any need for me to say white mage for a third time. also, your comment is un-needed, and unhelpful
modest igloo
but a good tip to say for players who are from WoW
its W/E
unless a mentor steps in and says something about it it's all good
vague otter
Thanks for the information 🙂
clever bough
In the early dungeons you will have two cases: Tanks who pull one group at a time where you will mostly just sit there and feel like having nothing to do (so you might as well just DPS) or the Tank pulls everything from the entrance to the next boss at once where you might feel like you have something to do in your role as a healer 😛

obsidian patio
Most of the base game story quests were streamlined to varying degrees, with about 15% of the total MSQ from ARR being removed due to being filler.
ripe hound
I heard before there was a rumor that the devs plan to make no more Non-limited Jobs after Endwalker? Due to how hard it is to balance everything?
Is this true? Or I mean, have anyone else ever heard of this rumor before?
obsidian patio
Never heard of that before. 
ripe hound
Yeah, probably just weird hearsay.
I think it’s someone from a static I was in said that.
gritty wind
Most of the base game story quests were streamlined to varying degrees, with abo...
so it could be faster rn
onyx anchor
Can you adjust Au Ra Limbal Ring without using Fantasia? Like, can that hairdresser guy change it?
modest igloo
MSQ is somewhat faster, leveling is the same
faint flare
Levelling itself isn't important, it's doing the story
ripe hound
so it could be faster rn
Do understand that MSQ usually takes longer than leveling.
obsidian patio
As a whole it’s faster, you also get flying for the base game zones after completing the leveling story
Which is the fastest form of movement besides teleporting
heavy wadi
Can you adjust Au Ra Limbal Ring without using Fantasia? Like, can that hairdres...
yes you can
zinc orbitBOT
gritty wind
Do understand that MSQ usually takes longer than leveling.
but I generally need them all done at least on the "main" job?
modest igloo
yep
ripe hound
but I generally need them all done at least on the "main" job?
Yeah, MSQ is mandatory. You only need to do them once.
Also I think leveling is somewhat faster in general?
Like 1-50 now definitely takes less time compared to ARR.
But 1-80 definitely takes longer compared to 1-50 in ARR.
ripe hound
If it's a year ago, then no. Leveling definitely haven't changed.
modest igloo
5.3 did make msq better, but if you aren't big on story then this probably isnt the mmo for you
faint flare
It was 5.3 when arr was streamlined
ripe hound
Right, ARR was streamlined
gritty wind
5.3 did make msq better, but if you aren't big on story then this probably isnt ...
I heard the story of ARR is quite bad and gets "nice" afterwards 😛
modest igloo
I heard the story of ARR is quite bad and gets "nice" afterwards 😛
its a slow burn on the story and sets up a lot of what happens in the expansions
focused more on world development than characters
gritty wind
Ehh i think I should try again
modest igloo
sure! but if you still feel like it's too much don't feel like you have to play
gritty wind
thats what I heard
modest igloo
just takes a casual 150 hours of story to get to
gritty wind
😂
Aaand about classes - does it rly make much longer on healers/tanks? to do the nondung questing?
faint flare
No
modest igloo
there are more DPS in the game than tanks and healers
faint flare
Tanks and heals are very respectable in dps
modest igloo
but most leveling is done in dungeons, not through quests
faint flare
And don't take longer in the overworld
open ember
The only class that levels up with overworld mobs is Blue Mage and its a limited job
Everything else is dunegon leveling

i assumed the fairy was the whole point of playing scholar, I already have a level 75 aast

don't rely on your fairy to heal

Fairy is only part of your kit

it pretty much just gives a constant, steady regen

Your aetherflow is the other half

What's the DRG lvl 60 problem people keep crying about?
ancient pendant
Each city has a chain of onboarding quests which lead to you meeting a member of the Scions. Pretty sure you can't do all three of them.
raven sage
Those are side quests not the main story ones
faint flare
What's the DRG lvl 60 problem people keep crying about?
I don't recall any lv60 problems. At least recently
glossy flare
Only thing I can think of is that it's a bit annoying to keep Blood of the Dragon up at that point
not a huge deal though
high otter
I guess Blood of the Dragon is post-60 "problem"
faint flare
The only main, dumb thing about DRG is that it's aoe Combo doesn't extend disembowel
glossy flare
not really, keeping it up just becomes so easy that it's a non issue eventually
blood of the dragon i mean, not disembowel
high otter
Wait, you can PROLONG blood of the dragon?
glossy flare
you SHOULD
faint flare
6es
high otter
HOW
glossy flare
or wheeling thrust, yea
frozen wind
Does rested EXP stack up infinetly
high otter
ooooooh wait
glossy flare
or just using BoD again
faint flare
Those extend it
high otter
I thought we're talking about Life of the Dragon xd
frozen wind
Or does it only cap up to your current exp bar
faint flare
And at 64? You can do both back to back
zinc orbitBOT
faint flare
Or does it only cap up to your current exp bar
It caps at like 1.5x your level
shrewd owl
Rested exp goes to 1 and a half bar iirc
high otter
I wanted to ask if you can prolong Life of the Dragon, not Blood. Blood is easy to keep
faint flare
Nah Life is set
frozen wind
so if I dont use it it all leveling up
faint flare
It's a set 30s
frozen wind
i basically wasted rested exp?
shrewd owl
It’s not 30s before 78 iirc
high otter
It's 20 before 78
faint flare
Well it's a set time anyway
shrewd owl
It’s 20s/whatever duration your botd is above 20
faint flare
With Lance Mastery 2,you morw or less always have near max time on BotD
frozen wind
my FC members are saying itll take 4 days for rested exp to cap

There's a surprisingly large amount of "game journalists"

I figured out how to make Life of the Dragon 3rd grade after like 2 days after obtaining it. I guess that's what I must do, right? Every time

only keep tome gear tbh, so the stuff you can buy at 50 60 70 for poetics

Hello! So I was looking for a new game to try out, and settled on ffxiv.. I know, maybe not new.. But its new to me!
I sign up for the free trial, and while trying to read through the privacy policy I somehow lose the original page for downloading the client. I re-trace my steps, but now the game says I already have a registered account and is not eligible for the free trial. Any ideas how I can go about solving this problem? It does not seem to care that that registration was like an hour ago, and Im clearly a "new player". And there is no simple download button anywhere on the website. Im lost and confused. Help appreciated.

After I crafted all 430 basic HQ Crafter gear, what would be the next step? Just turn in items until you can buy a full Handsaint set or is there something with more potential that just requires a bit more effort?

you can leave when everyone else rolls
if you leave right as soon as you roll, there's a chance someone else hasn't rolled yet

i have no idiea why

I mean ... I know why you bash the shield bash but honestly until before Holy is available (up until ... after Dezemel Darkhold) that bash can still provide some survivability where you might need it - your healer won't be AoEing if you are dropping HP (or ... they just can't cause pre level 45) and gaining that 3 - 5 seconds to react to shit happening might be what saves your ass after all your cooldowns dropped (as soon as you see Level 44 dragoons in Level 13 gear that have 7 other Level 80 chars on their sheet you know the pain of wall to wall pulls that are survivable but just don't die)
fringe bone
i thought shield bash is great
faint flare
You're still taking more damage over the course of the pull
Cause you're delaying their deaths
Damage is the best mitigation
fringe bone
only if your fighting a boss that can be stunned i use shield bash allot
faint flare
You take less damage in the short term
More in the long term
Low blow covers all stun needage
jade quartz
Nothing of note requires stunning that can’t be handled with low blow
fringe bone
But its has a cooldown right?
clever bough
Yeah but if your healer is actively healing you, the mobs have > 30% HP (so they will not die within the next 6 - 12 seconds) AND your healer has problems keeping your health UP (so it is slowly but steadily DROPPING down to 0) Tabbing through your target list and bashing them WILL save your ass where "just more damage" would not
slate arrow
I mean, it has a niche use in Palace of the Dead
jade quartz
Yeah a short cooldown

shieldbash does not have a cooldown

You don’t need that much stun

If you need chain stunning to stay alive then you have much worse problems

If you want to wilfully advocate bad advice in this channel then we can remove you from this channel.
faint flare
Put it like this
No one will miss shield bash
When it's removed next expansion
Fucking guarantee it
pallid bluff
shield bash lol
fringe bone
So it basically comes down to shield bash is useless because when it fuck up your GCD which lowblow does not. The enemy is not gonna do a OP attack where you need to stun them and when they do the 25 sec cool down on lowblow is more then enough and low blow does not interupt GCD so its superior and shield bash is never used
clever bough
OK now you are just being elitist and are just trying to justify that by any means neccesary
pallid bluff
never used it
jade quartz
It’s not elitist, it’s good sense.
faint flare
Literally ask any paladin and they'll say "what's shield bash"
clever bough
Let people have fun using that ability whenever they like
jade quartz
It is not logical to call it elitism when what we’re suggesting is not more difficult.
twilit arch
its not elitist, there's no reason to use shield bash is most cases
fringe bone
I think as a a New paladin player i only noticed a few skils which are useless
like Cover
twilit arch
if you need a stun, you should be using low blow
jade quartz
Cover has theoretical use for some mechanics though honestly it’s not used that often

Yeeees I do not say that this is wrong

Shield bash is one of those abilities that is highly likely to be removed

fringe bone
Thats what im talking about
wintry chasm
And you don’t need it more often than that.
and when you do is a very niche situation
faint flare
Let me.say it aga8n
slate arrow
If you need to stun more than one mob, you have more problems than a cooldown
twilit arch
you are almost never in a situation where you need 2 stuns back to back
jade quartz
Shield bash wastes a GCD.
clever bough
And I say there are situations in very low level dungeons where you want to use multiple stuns to interrupt in quick succession
shrewd owl
i dont see why you cant just move out of an aoe
fringe bone
like its not necessary its just a bbility they threw on the side and it wont change how paladin plays or does dmg if its removed
jade quartz
There’s one situation where you might want to do that: succubi in Haukke.
faint flare
Shield bash breaks your combos, is a GCD which means you lose an Aoe which is probably doing 800 potency in aoe, and does pitiful damage
slate arrow
okay, shoo, get out of my QnA channel. This is out of the scope of QnA
clever bough
I do not say that when you are at Level 50+ that you should be using it, from that point onward there is nothing even remotely dangerous in these dungeons
jade quartz
That can be handled by either two players both using their stuns, or by simply dodging.
fringe bone
i dont see why you cant just move out of an aoe
i think what they are trying to say though is you dont have to and from the ones you do just use lowblow because there wont be a op attack after u use low blow until the cd is back up

Industrial’s right, that’s enough of this.
