FFXIV fight design, considered by Sup Forums to be the best modern MMO in the market.

I think at this point everyone can agree that mmos have shitty gameplay and should be deleted from existence

And yet WoWrefugees still mess it up.

make monk great again

Better than rooting you to one spot while you dial phone numbers on your keyboard all fight.

and if you don't watch videos of how to do a fight then people will hate you for trying to tank blind like you're some retard

What's your idea for an alternative? You just beat the fight no matter how many mistakes you make?

People got tired of spank and tank gameplay. It's slowly devolved into Simon says or die.

shitters

>do thing
>thing happens
VIDEOGAMES LOL

Basic mmo endgame.
Tell me when there are fight mechanics more interesting designed for 10+ people.

I thought Tera was the best combat.

This. What the fuck do you want OP? For the game to be even more dumbed down than it already is?

You could reduce almost any video game to this.

you should have to prove that you can also do these things in real life

all MMOs have horrible gameplay. the point of playing is to hang out with your friends and do more DPS than randoms. the REAL point is to ERP

If the damage you take from a failed mechanic can be reliably healed through, why even do it? I'd rather have Simon says than "stand there and press buttons until it dies"

>while you dial phone numbers on your keyboard all fight.
Remember when MMOs played like RPGs?

So would you rather them be damage sponges then

Haven't played in awhile, I have the story and everything done on my Summoner. Want to try out Ninja.

What is the best way to level now 1-60? Back when I played it was FATE grinding and it was awful, is this still the case?

Tank heals, spam dungeons. DPS. 1-50 PotD. 50-60 dungeons unless your queues are awful, than just stick with PotD. Fate grinding is boring unless you're in HW zones grinding the first relic quest for you main/another ult.

>Remember when MMOs played like RPGs?
No

That's the old design.

New one is:

>Boss has too little HP to have actual mechanics
>Boss doesn't do anything special
>Mechanics are obviously tuned for worse players
>Sloppy kills everywhere
>But the casuals are raiding, I guess.

WHETHER WE WANTED IT OR NOT
at least Square Enix isn't retarded enough to NOT separate PvP and PvE balancing
am I fine stepping into PotD blind without having to read up on shit?

Their very first raid did it right with Caduceus and Twintania throwing unavoidable void zones on your feet. Most wipes were gradual, not due to some forced wipe mechanic.

Back then, stopping healing the tank to heal raid damage actually meant something as the bosses dealt a shit ton of damage and we didn't have instant big AoE heals like today. We need that back.

MMORPGs are better when the characters you play are underpowered compared to the boss. It's why Creator is disappointing

>Can do Alexander Prime with my eyes closed except for the timestop with gravitational anomaly every once in a while
>Cruise Chaser gives me problems constantly because people panic at the prey mechanic and things immediately go to shit in this phase
>Preyed party member decides to run right on top of me as I'm trying to heal him
>die

But you are underpowered compared to Alexander. He lets you win because it's best for the world.

how do I ninja

Cruise Chaser has a prey mechanic?

after the plasma shield yeah

only in welfare mode

KAGE BUNSHIN NO JUTSU XD

TERA and B&S still have the best boss fights in any MMO to date.

It took many years for me. Over a decade. Some people just need a little longer.

mooglemedia.com/momo-kyuns-ninja-guide/

Of course a WoWshitter wouldn't.

Thats how bad other mmos are

>always keep huton up by using armor crush every once in a while
>keep dancing edge up if you don't have a WAR using storm's eye
>maintain mutilate and shadow fang DoTs
>use Suiton->Trick attack every 60 seconds
>use Raiton when trick attack is on cooldown

I think that's the gist

calofisteri is the best fight in the game because it emphasizes personal skill over group jump rope

Or if you have a Machinist just use shuriken instead.

Why Shuriken over Raiton? that's 120 potency going to waste.

Honest question, I don't really play NIN

>best fight in the game
That would be this thing.

Can someone give me a quick run down on how FF14 compares to Black Desert?

>You will never have the ADS mount

Fuuuck frontlines.

At least this is more than likely to be the seasonal reward for Hatchingtide. And it'll be better than an ADS mount because it'll play Papaya.

FF14:
>2.5s global cooldown
>catsluts

Black Desert:
>regular sluts
>gameplay?????????

raiton doesn't scale with poison, so when you have the slashing debuff up + poison + machinist physical debuff, shuriken actually has more potency

but if a bard is singing foes, raiton is still better

however if no machnist or bard is present, ninjas prefer shuriken since it has less chance of clipping the gcd. shuriken only requires 1 mudra while raiton takes 2, though if kassatsu is up (guaranteed critical) then raiton is better again

XIV has PvE.

>Get board doing daily roulettes and say hey fuck it I'll try mining
>Progress is fast as fuck for the first 50 levels
And now I'm back to the log in once a day for provisions, or sit around waiting for 12 and 2 ET for nodes.

I see the developers literally cannot think of any system that doesn't reward either idling, or daily-shit.

>scale with poison

okay this I don't really get. I get the foes thing though since it technically counts as magic damage?

They just don't want you to burn out on content.

They're fine with you burning out on content considering a great majority of the end-game features are doing the same shit you've been doing for the last 50 levels, plus reruns of the current shit. They just want to keep enforcing mechanics to keep you subbed longer.

oh wait dumb you meant their poison 'stance' that they always have on which I think is dumb and the effect should just be thrown in a trait like everyone else

yeah, posion only buffs your physical damage. shuriken counts as a ranged physical attack that deals slashing damage, but all other mudras deal magic damage

That's the debuff passing one right?

if a floorwide item is active, don't use another
shit's easy except for the slimes on floors 11-20 (they have a hard enrage for some reason) and the owl things on floors 21-30 (long duration aoe sleep)
You can always go alone to get a feel for it, them try again with randoms

What the fuck are you talking about nigger.
Absolutely no fight this current tier has massive AoE healing spikes. In fact, you can just let Medica II/Regen tick through with Eos and you are fine.

Cleared creator savage months ago as a healer.

Funny how you demand harder content, yet can't even play the easy one.

Speaking of mounts in general. How come so many of them play the generic music when there's a perfect song already available in-game for it to play?

yeah, i think the only reason why it isn't a trait is because there are some fights where you don't want to cause diminishing returns on the stun timer and instead cause silence, those encounters are far and few between though

Should I switch to MCH or keep playing WAR?
Along with that, should I keep trying to do cul or should I go for an actual craft like Gemsmithing?

>new content patch day
>running new dungeons blind
>running new trials blind
Shits fun. Sucks that after a week though everyone expects everyone to know everything and if you dont you get kicked.

Yes,

>dodge lasers
>pass Rot
>interrupt High Voltage
>tank swap

That fight was fucking golden. The only way to escape responsability was by being a dragoon, which was ironically the hardest job to play at that fight.

Solution: Remove both poisons, add a silence skill, give NIN a trait that boosts their damage by 20% like everyone else already has

BAM.

i'll look at this thanks

alright thanks you

because whatever

I was looking forward to buying the Archon Throne only to find out it plays generic HW mount music

though to be fair I don't know what song would be fitting.

probably so they can get you to buy a cash shop version later on

>A week
Try literally a day.
>NO BONUS
Was spammed within 12 hours of Zhurvan dropping.

i really wouldn't consider the crafter classes as seperate entities, just think of it as one class called "Crafter" that happens to have a max level of 480. because the sad reality is you need to max all of them in order to be self sufficient in any one of them

culinary is a good start though, because the level 37 cross class skill and others that come before it are some of the most necessary skills available for all crafts

Revenge Twofold would've been nice.

>'goons had less magic resist than crafters
What a wild time.

Gubal hardmode or normal.

>jump over this pit or die
>now jump over these spikes or die
>remember to not run into enemies or you die too

wtf I hate video games now

>make a really great boss theme to replace the original HW boss theme that I'm now tired of
>only used in 4 dungeons

oh well

Oh.
I see.
Thank you for the heads up though!

yeah but didn't people stop doing it that way like 2 weeks later

Should I just keep doing POTD to grind from 51-60?

Jugulate's default mode is silence.

then a stun

Yes

What would 99 aethergear translate to in item levels? Saw a capped white mage today basically soloing the whole set while the rest of us just stood there in awe

Having Mug be that would make a lot of sense, it's other modes are pretty shit and useless anyways.

CC does not matter in this game

You have around 12 hours of straight floor 50 runs to get to 60 from 50. Depends on if your sanity can take it. I did it once, can't say I'm excited to do so again when SB hits with SAM or RDM because for some fucking reason outside of a daily roulettes leveling is cancer.
>b-buh beast quests
They're alright. PotD is much faster if you get a half decent group.

>remember playing NIN at level 50
>oh boy Mug has a HP leech effect with poison
>recover like 200 HP

Not really, only after 2.1 that the rage strat became a thing.

I remember when the devs were testing a randomizing mechanic that messed up with the enrage, making it unhealable. Suddenly all the shitters went complain on the OF.

99/99 is something like i240 ish just based on vitality numbers

I member

Everything about this game is linear

>get retainer to level 60 and put them in 230 gear
>never brings me anything above level 50
>in fact I probably get less interesting stuff now because he used to bring me dyes all the time but not anymore

what was the fucking point of leveling this guy

Gonna ask here since I don't see any XI thread, I was thinking about trying out a private server for it, any recommendations? nasomi looks like a good option, is it?

dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/27318330/potdexp_withbonus.xlsx

fuel your autism

>Mechanics are obviously tuned for worse players
You should have seen my raid Group A and B were pretty much always dead.
>Proto fight starts
>first AoE
>5 people already dead
Im loosing hope here

Don't bother. They're all dead.

nigga just make one and xifags will flock to it, like xiv threads

I tried Nasomi for a while, hope you like looking up what NPCs you have to turn your quests in to because many NPCs have the wrong name.

I just wanna try out the game with some friends so I won't be playing alone, and the sub for the official servers feel a bit excessive for such an old game, just wanted to know if any of you have experience on different private servers and could recommend a good one content-wise or wathever. Thanks for the answer though.

>Yoshi is going to raise the skill floor of BLM by letting people cast Fire IV out of enochian

then what's the fucking point enochian or fire 1 existing if you're going to let people be bad like this

>head to official forums
>classes and jobs
>tank roles
>discussions about future tank changes
>mitigation discussions
>job optimization and utilization discussions
>dps roles
>big dick deeps discussions
>rotation discussions
>job adjustments, future wishes
>samurai and red mage talk
>healer roles
>a tank yelled at me, how do i get him banned and killed irl?
>as a healer, is it my job to do my job?
>my legs hurt
>these dungeons are too hard
>its my sub i play how i want to play

Is there any other server you think is better? I'm looking up online but there's not many opinions apart from just server lists.

>or fire 1 existing
What's Astral Fire?

Also, is there a source? Enochian is fucking cancer. Keeping a timer is fine, keeping two is just autistic.
