Are you the person spamming the fuck out of Sup Forums with XIV threads?

You shitpost nonstop in /vg/ and derail threads constantly with samefagging and baits, but then rationalize it as making a discussion thread here? Please fuck off man, just don't shitpost in /vg/

Is DRK going to become the new offtank? Is WAR dead?

Now this is shitposting

I wish some of the original races would get less stiff running/sprinting animations.

Why does Samurai look so fucking boring?

How does it look boring? Just because its not a fuck ton of particle effect and explosions?

Most people will be playing RDM anyway. SAM looks fairly difficult due to its three stance mechanic.

To the idiots who say 4.0 won't be hard, we barely saw anything outside of class changes and a few locations.

>It doesn't cover half of everybody's screen with huge explosions and roses like RDM so it's boring
Eh heh

Yes. They are the only thing this game has going on

because it's the third sword-wielding job in the game
swords need to GTFO

Just beat ultima weapon.
>oh, hero of light, please gather up these boxes and round up these rapefugees
For fucks sake, why are these quests so shit. How do you go from fighting badass monsters and demi gods to shitty fetch quests again. Fucking jrpgs.

How long would it take to go from 50 to 60 and do all the HW msq?

Reminder that Fordola is LITERALLY SUZAKU and also in lesbians with Yotsuyu

If you focus on mostly the story, cancel all the movies, and have ilvl 230 gear available, not very long.

The newest Smash Brothers title had too many cast members wielding swords. Most even had a counter. Shit was annoying.

No gil toss

I think the main quest is around 80 hours.

>when you spend so much time with pirate NPCs you start to anticipate their curses

Unsub and buy a potion :^)

because it uses the same 3 or 4 sword iaido attacks because yoshi P likes ruroni kenshin

The stance enders are required anyways because one is a damage buff, one is a haste buff, and one is the highest damage you put up after. Theres no thought process that requires you to actually manage the stacks because your rotation does it for you. The only thing you need to pick is which combo spender you want to use.

ironically the only people that seem to hate what we've seen of samurai seem to be weebs. their gameplay looks clean as fuck but i guess people were expecting *teleports to all enemies and kills in 1 hit pshhh*

GilToss has almost always been a NIN or THF ability in the games. Only game to even let SAM use GilToss was FF5.

I still think there's a bit more under the hood than shown or talked about.

Where's a good place to read the story online? I skipped everything since I wanted to be ready for SB release.

SAM looks to be the easier job out of the two actually. RDM actually has 2 resources to manage and spend, SAM just needs to activate sigils

> the only people that dislike it are the people playing the game
Activated my Doma fruits

She is going to die and there is nothing you can do about it.

>skipped everything even though theres another month before release

You can rewatch cutscenes in an inn room

how much personal dps is good for a dragoon without pots or food
i'm getting 2.4k dps and i have no idea how to do more

I was planning on reading it then watching important cutscenes.

Go to the book in your Inn Room.

You can read through the quests and watch the cutscenes for the story quests, job quests, side quests, seasonal events and dungeons/trails.

>game samurai originated from uses it as it's signature ability that's tied to the class
>ability didn't exist before said game or class

Also NIN signature is throw and THF is steal/mug.

Quit talking out your ass.

SAM don't need Gil Toss anyway.

Does the Inn Book have the NPC dialogue before watching the cutscenes or are only the cutscenes important?

I WANNA FUCK KHLOE

Strictly cutscenes.

If you have a Something Awful Account with that $10 Archive Permissions, there is a Lets Play FFXIV with the NPC Dialog, Cutscenes and so on.

WAR is now required as MT while PLD is the best choice for OT.

...

That's a good dose of opinions you got there.

No one knows anything for sure

FUCK YOU people who've been to the media tour. Fucking leak something you pieces of shit or at least tell us when the embargo is being lifted you shitty ass mongoloids. Stop sucking SE's dick you retards.

Just play the tank you feel comfortable playing. You'll still have fast queues along with healers.

>free trial without a time limit
>can't use my old account with previous 14-day trial on it

fucking hell

We know it's May 31 calm down

The sooner the better.

>Burn out of WoW so much because of stale contnt
>see FF XIV
>Samurai looks itneresting
>but that price of the game
>and afraid that I'd just become bored of the game if I play alone

Shit I just want more games to fullfill my samurai archetype but this game scares me so much

We know their GCDs, and the combo spenders are can be used in any order, the number is what matters.

The only thing we dont know much about is their gauge spenders/gainers outside of one skills

I FUCKING LOVE MEMES

>no quelling strikes on ranged cross role skill pool
>unlimited mobility means dps will likely be culled to 'compensate' (nevermind that played well existing mch/brd already have 100% uptime on all fights)
>will go back to being cuck mp/tp batteries in the backline
Yeah we won't be laughing when SB comes out and we find out they dumpstered our dps. For all the people REEEEing about wanderer's minuet all expansion, I hope you're at least happy because this is the future you wanted.

BRDs and MCHs have always been intended as support jobs. You don't bring them for their DPS, you bring them because they raise the group's DPS as a whole.

Every DPS has quelling, its called diversion now.
Your second point holds no ground but speculation
Casters are MP batteries and Melee are TP batteries.

Basically your entire post is shit and your opinion is shit

>Every DPS has quelling, its called diversion now.
Ranged DPS doesn't, only Melee and Casters have it.

show me the ranged role skill list

Just try the free trial.

Eh, it's not May 31.

Bard and Machinst will suffer a big dps nerf due to losing most cds and not having the 20% increased damage from casting.

Can you play samurai on it?

BRD and MCH are being reworked completely
They'll basically play nothing like they do today

I don't think the number of Sen is what determines the Iaido ability, it's the combination of active Sen.
So
Red = Ability A
Blue = Ability B
Green = Ability C
Red + Blue = Ability D
Red + Green = Ability E
Blue + Green = Ability F
Red + Blue + Green = Ability G
It would be far too simplistic otherwise.

Not on a trial, and not until Stormblood comes out either way, but at least you could try the game in the meantime without committing to it.

It's not even out yet. Also no. Samurai is level 50 job and you need the latest expac.

Free trial went up to level 35.

the 20% damage increase was a moot point most of the time because of the loss of autos. It's actually a loss to keep GB/Minuet on during oGCD downtime. MCH turns it off for split/slug/hot. BRD only keeps it on due to procs making it unwise to turn it off often.

Concerning the BRD changes, I feel that they're actually becoming more of a traditional "Bard" in that a lot of their new actions focus on music. The song they're playing changes the way that they dps for 30 seconds at a time. Bloodletter resets are no longer a thing. Unless you're playing Ballad. That's one example.

If the new timers on the new Venomous/Windbite are correct there are a lot less dot watchers than before, since they're 30s instead of 18. Much less worrying about upkeep, more about shooting arrows and singing songs.

>Second Wind - Same as now
>Foot Graze - No longer MCH exclusive
>Leg Graze - No longer MCH exclusive
>Proton - Swiftsong renamed, no longer BRD exclusive. No longer a constant aura, instead a 30s buff with a 5s cooldown. Still can't be used in combat.
>Invigorate - Same as now
>Tactician - Unknown effect
>Refresh - Most likely an MP version of Goad.
>Head Graze - No longer MCH exclusive.
>Arm Graze - 2s Stun, 25s cooldown.
>Palisade - Buff which reduces an ally's physical damage received by 20% for 10s. Can't be used on self. 150s cooldown. (Basically a physical version of Apocatastasis)

At best, Tactician will be something like Shadewalker or Smoke Bomb that lets you transfer enmity from one party member to another.

No but you have to get to 50 on another job before you can unlock it anyways, so you should see if you like the game in general first

SMN skill names are gonna feel like being stronger than Madara Uchiha

It's too bad. Personally I thought MCH was really designed around Gauss Barrel and was supposed to have it. I don't play BRD so I wouldn't know their situation with the Minuet, however Gauss wasn't really "cast time" since the only times you would cast is during Lead Shot and Split Shot.

People have already watched that be proven false through videos displaying skills.

Iai System
The Iai system is similar to the current warriors wrath/abandon stacks Samurai has 3 single target combo finishers, each granting a type of “sen”
The iai skill is a casted weapon skill that changes based on how many “sen” you have currently, as displayed on the gauge. It shares the GCD with other weapon skills.
The same Sen cannot be stacked, meaning you shouldn’t do the same combo twice before using an iai skill.
Iai cannot be used when there is no sen available.
Sen does not seem to have a timer, it is unknown if you can keep you sen when entering dungeons/raids, but you should be able to keep them going between enemies on the same zone.
There are 3 iai skills
1 Sen -Name unknown, most likely a single target attack
2 Sen - Tenkagoken (TKGK) - 360 potency AOE cone, with 10% damage fall off
3 Sen - Midare Setsugekka (MSGK)- 720 potency single target attack
The order in which you obtain the Sen does not seem to matter. For TKGK, it seems any combination of 2 Sen would suffice.

>It would be far too simplistic otherwise.
It's exactly what they are aiming for.

Yeah they're getting cucked is what's happening. Well, we had a good run in heavensward being top dog.

>dueling AST as a DRK
>he heals everything and not even losing his mana
>i'm losing my health

>Sup Forums users don't have the balls to leak info about a video game
How low this place has fallen.

It's not like you can even significantly damage him in the first place because lolnocleric.

I'm with you on that friend, MCH was clearly built around it and you only had to hard cast 3 skills anyway. I was hoping they would just build around this in SB but I guess shitters would bitch even more if we kept the cast bar and BRD didn't.

There's a reason why you never use DRK in PvP, expect maybe maybe Frontlines for the meme AoE snare

PvP might be dumbed down to shit with 12 skills but let's hope for some balance, it's and it always have been a fucking joke

Play a caster if you want to cast.

>risking your job for a bunch of losers
lol

It's the last end of May because synths up with Japanese magazines. It's not rocket science that the only reason we have to suffer through this bullshit is because English gaming media whined last time when Japanese magazines got to break news first

The embargo ends at the end of May. Confirmed by many who attended.

I am surprised that nothing has been leaked Anonymously yet, though.

being a blogger is not a job

Will I need Heavensward to play or progress till Stormblood?

But I felt ok dueling DPS classes because living dead is cool.

Some were.

NA and EU tour both happened. You have to be retarded to get tracked down by posting leaks in an anonymous board.

>Extends Blood Weapon and Blood Weapon
I think this might be unfinished.

They need to leak the bard songs. I heard they completely changed.

But Famitsu releases today.

>End of May
This bullshit again. We want an actual date.

the bard in the job traielr used wm, mage and army and the job gauge changed each time while it was also casted on an enemy

its safe to assume they changed them

>Minfillia is gone
>Scions dwindling with every patch
>Can no longer use magic
>Other Scions saved because fanservice or plot relevance
>Original chipper personality long gone

Thancred luck has finally run out hasn't it?

looks legit
