FFXIV thread

Pre-order my game

Oh behave.

Only if SAM is confirmed

wait a bit longer, pham

Haha I wonder what Yda's Mhigger poop smells like. Haha

dude please not again, the last thread got shat up already

stop bullying Naoki!

...

Only if SAM is confirmed to be a DPS

Seriously though it genuinely makes more sense for it to be a DPS than a tank in this game, except for if Yoshi feels he needs more tanks; wanting a fresh dose of people tanking is the only reason to make it one, but that does nothing to address why people don't tank to begin with and if they try to make it compete with WAR all they're actually doing is putting the final nail in PLD's coffin.

>Sup Forums threads are being invaded by /xivg/ lurkers and e-celebs

>e-celebs

Such as?

Do we have any indication on what the combat overhaul is going to be? Is it just stat and combo overhaul or ground up attacks have hitboxes and physically blocking things with your shield overhaul?

/xivg/ e-celebs

>Austin Powers FFXIV dev

Explains all the double entendres

Pruning bad abilities and shuffling cross class actions around since the system is just a vestige of 1.0 at this point.

Im p sad its Sam and not Bluemage

Sadly there is no info about that. That's all they've said and people just speculate but I wouldn't expect anything groundbreaking.

>farming A8 normal for cranks for glamour
>there are people who don't know the mechanics
>it is literally a fucking combination of the mechanics from A7
>people still don't know what to do when the split damage marker pops over someones head

this is fucking mindboggling. You literally can't queue for A8 without having done A7 yet, how the fucking shit do people not know what to do still? HOW THE FUCK DON'T PEOPLE KNOW HOW TO DEAL WITH SPLIT DAMAGE ATTACKS STILL

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>/xivg/ e-celebs

Jesus, I wasn't aware of this cancer. Ignorance is bliss sometimes.

I'm glad there's no blu. Imagine the disappointment it would be if you didn't go out and get new cool skills from monsters

They have to do something with PVP skills. There's no way to bind them anywhere as a MCH playing with KB+M or PS4 pad and it's impossible to make alternative builds because the game won't allow it.

You have to blame Koji "epic memester" Fox for that.

I'm gonna hit my lore cap before i get done with crystal farming for anima.
Is there anything i can use lore for that i need later?
And where do i get it?

DELETE THIS RIGHT FUCKING NOW

singing clusters and pnuemites are for steps after umbrite. But you can EASILY get those with weekly quests once you are on those steps, so not really.

well fuck, there goes my day

All we know so far is:
>Cross class skill system is being changed
>Useless or underused abilities will be reworked or removed
>New active and passive skills will be introduced
>Jobs will receive new UI features to make it easier to keep track of buffs instead of staring at numbers, for instance DRK MP bar will glow when in Darkside and the aura will get weaker when you're almost out of MP

WHO /jenova/ HERE?

I fucking love raiding in this game

XIV needs more Austin powers.

Do you have the iLv200 script axe for botanist?

nope

Then go for it. It's literally the same tool only with a different look.

Considering the tailer, it might be upgradable in 3.55 so I shhould get mine too...

new expansion benchmark stuff when?!

I want monk to have some kind of visible aura and a skill like this.

"The Kiss" sounds like something out of a Nintendo game, like Animal Crossing.

Showcase at Fanfest + last job reveal. Benchmark release sometime after 3.56, so maybe aprim or may.

So one question famalams i melded a il250 HQ crafted ring with STR V since str is the best stat for war besides crit supposedly, but i can't keep melding STR to it, not even STR IV

what should i do? or should i just remove the STR V put something else like a Crit V and forcemeld 4 STR V materias on it? You can do that right?

First time melding crafted stuff

Major stats can only be melded on once. STR is the bets stat to put on tanks for the acc since it's equal to vit for damage for them, so it's more beneifical compared to other classes putting a secondary stat on them.

You mean major stat = vit str dex int?

I see, thanks user, didn't know that.

You can't overmeld main stats, only secondary.

Accessories always STR and then Crit or SkS if you want to get max GDs with zerk

Would it be a good idea to put PIE materia into BLM accessories? I have over 1100 spellspeed and not enough MP to use the full enochian without using a potion or BLIZZ3 halfway.

Yep, I've tried it for melding on those small I materias for faster spiritbond gain, but after I meld one, I can't meld anymore of the major type.

You need at least 500 Skill speed for triple cleave with zerk, so once you reach that it's Crit then Det.

Some races do need to meld Piety if they're a BLM and not a lalafell, its the only instance I know of where racial stats can come into play.

meant so say GCDs

God no
You'll fuck your rotation even harder
There's a point where you have too much spellspeed and should just be melding crit

saw video of a group of people with le funny reactions and commentary do alexander.

how do people find this shit entertaining? bunch of try hards

I'm trying to get +653 SkS

I just can't get over it when i fail the triple fell cleave because i had to dodge an AoE

>not taking that aoe
WHAT ARE YOU A BITCH?

>It's a PotD run with multiple White mages and none of them use holy episode

You want 264 PIE in a party (with a SCH for piety party bonus) to do your opener properly. Some races might have to restat a tiny bit of PIE.

You can also meld two PIE Vs into your gear somewhere to hit 284 PIE in party, which will ensure you always have enough MP to T1 or B1 after B3 so you don't have to wait on an MP tick. Impact on DPS is debatable and tiny either way, but it makes the class play a bit better so it's very much optional.

Don't listen to this, there is no point at which you can have too much spellspeed. Spellspeed makes it easier to greed with casts and over the course of the fight can lead to an extra F4. An extra F4 will immediately outweigh any benefit you might have received from having a few more crit/det.

>Fantasia from Lalafell to Au Ra
>Get more commends and people actually listen to what I have to say in PF groups

Stop lying, nobody gives a fuck of what you are while reading the chat.

>Taking AoEs in savage

NOT A DEAD BITCH FOR SURE

What items does war need from dun scaith?
Gloves/legs?

FUGGGGGGGGGG

>Need
None if you're not shit.

More like why don't you have savage gear already you little girl.

How do I git gud in PvP. Why do I keep getting the snowy fields map on Frontlines. How the fuck do I level up my PvP abilities.

I just found out PvP is actually fun. Help me out Sup Forums

Canonically does a Fantasia change your race, or does it only exist in a game sense and everyone sees you as always having been the race you currently are?

I also wish to kkw about PvP. What should I knkw goig into my first Frontline match si I don't fuck my team over.

I'm i235

Fantasia is in no way supported by the lore whatsoever. Its 100% a gamist thing.

>Using holmgang to take an AoE on purpose instead of saving it to save the party if the MT fucks up

TAKE ME DOWN FUCKING WIPE CITY

Question still stands nigga

From my two-day experience:
Stay in the pack. Hunt with the pack. Protect the pack.
If you're a melee DPS with stuns (like DRG) mark which enemy you'll attack so your ranged can follow suit.
DoTs for melee classes are mostly useless. Just burst them down with all your CDs ASAP and retreat.
Don't overextend.
Healers are top priority.

Learn how to type first, holy shit nigga.

No, gloves pants, they're fucking LIT acc+crit rate
instead of parry+acc like shire shit

BEST GIRL

Potatoes aren't even in the running for best anything.

>if the MT fucks up
>PLAYING WITH SHITTERS

MIOUNNE IS SHIT. SHIIIIIIIIIT

If they add two DPS and no tanks all at once you'll have the Ninja debacle all over again and any leveling roulette as a DPS below level 60 will take 6 hours.

I kinda want to switch GC so I can leave Ul'dah and spend more time in Gridania. Is there a quick way to rank it up, now that I first have to unlock expert supplies again?
Also my squadron remains unaffected, right?

Nobody fucking does Savage anymore but static cliques and people that want ilvl 265+ for reset farm day.

Always have your map out
Just make it small and put it in a corner or the edge of your screen. Probably where your enmity list usually is since you don't need that for pvp.

and I'll be in POTD laughing like a maniac while I zerg RED to 60

>Implying you can ever address the lack of tanks
People are naturally afraid of responsibility. You can't do shit to prevent that.

Its especially funny since tanking in this game is so easy, its definitely the easiest role for actual hard content.

>join Zurvan EX farm
>it goes extremely well, only 3 wipes out of like 12 runs, nobody fucks up the last soar at all
>only whistle that drops is won by the BLM that died like 10 times and caused at least two of the wipes
>MCH gun drops 6 times in a row

You can stockpile dungeon gear/turnins for quick seals to rank up quickly, otherwise you rank up like normal.

Your squadron members will be unaffected, but you'll have to do the level 40 qualifier mission again to get promoted to First Lieutenant.

>POTD for leveling to 60
The Vault and Gubal are faster from 57-60 though

M8, be glad you actually managed to get your first kill. I've been trying to get rid of my bonus for ages now, and it's always a)group manages to skip soar but dies at tethers or b)group dies to soar.

This is your tank for tonight.

Doing all supply and provisioning turnins 60 hq and completing your log will yield enough in less than An hour. Unsync the dungeons. Your squadron is fine.

>potd
>people actually pulling multiple enemies
>not trying to sneak around the edge of dead end rooms and open a chest they'll never actually use

As many things in the game it depends on the encounter, but yes, tanking isn't too stressing for the most part. The problem is that tanking requires more effort than the other roles to do a half-assed, passable job. For something like leveling roulette, where people don't give a fuck, holding aggro is already too much of a hassle for most >1000 hours played zombies so they don't even bother, and newbies are still intimidated due to said players shitting on bad tanks constantly.

This is the path of PF and DF warriors like me.

>That gear.
Tanks that can't do Savage shouldn't be playing tank at all.

She isn't even the best girl in that picture

They won't be once RED and SAM are clogging them up.

Good thing SAM is a tank then

>german malec@ DRG in your group
>actually does great DPS
>no standing in AOE
>isn't a fuccboi
>he's a older bearded badass cat who needs no b0ipucci
Pretty good surprise.

Smashing flash/unleash/overpower then dragging it all to the single ranged enemy in the pull is so easy though. Its braindead easy.
