XIV/Stormblood

Herro you wan run dungeon fuk u carm down

Okay, anything you say Yoshi, just keep that katana away from the instance server!

>MCH fucking boring now while BRD gets all the interesting stuff
Oh cool I can't wait for MCH buffs again

On the more of BRD, are you supposed to DoT a shitton of enemies to build stacks for songs?

Note of, not more of. I need sleep

>I finally got a Battle High
You know what I'm okay with your shit new PvP

>no commends
Thanks EXP grinders

Already a thread

Yes

MCH is way more interesting now

Then tell the retard OP to put some keyword in the OP so people can actually search for it

>additional effect: extends greased lightning duration to maximum
Why did they flat out ruin monk?

SAM is pretty neat

But it's so fast and cool

Can someone recommend me a good podcast to listen to while i spam PotD?

>Y'shtola doesn't do much in ARR, save pop a bubble, like she did in 1.0
>Out for most of HW. Only thing she really does is tell us where Matoya is.
>Is instantly taken out for the SB story.
God, they really don't know what to do with her. Or Thancred.

You could list their worthwhile accomplishments on one finger.

>do level 62 ast quest
>geomancer

GEOMANCER HEALER CONFIRMED.

Yes, it was called whm before stoneskin was removed

I think I'm in love with Lakshmi's music.

Anyone know where Sea Serpents are? I'm trying to do some marks. It says there at Rasen Kaikyo in Ruby Sea but I'm just not seeing them.

i like how RDM feels like it bypassed the T W O P O I N T F I V E of the game
>cast times

>WoL ends up letting Musosai live in the end

Maybe expecting WoL to be cool for once was a little too much.

>Yugiri: Hey WoL let's go out for a bit
Yeah alr-
>Lyse: CAN I COME?

>30y range on planery indugence

Holy shit it's a long range. You can hit every party member from anywhere. Shame about the effect. It's visually good.

How do you take screenshots like this?

I'm a brainlet, someone tell me if my math is right for figuring out how much of a potency loss Onslaught is compared to Fell Cleave

Cleave is 500 potency and costs a GCD so I compared it to the average potency of a GCD spent on a Butcher's Block combo, which is (150+200+280)/3 = 210. So a Fell Cleave is a potency gain of 290. 290/5 is 58, which should be the potential potency gain of each 10 Beast Gauge if you spend it on Fell Cleave. So that should mean that Onslaught is a 16 potency loss compared to Fell Cleave, right? Since Onslaught is 100 potency and costs 20 Beast Gauge (50 average potency gain per 10 gauge spent).

That's not too bad for a 20 yard gap closer. If my math is right it's probably a potential DPS gain if you get even one extra melee auto-attack out of it.

...

Just did Sirensong. It was a way better starting dungeon than Dusk Vigil. Didn't drag on too long and had cool designs. Are the other dungeons as good?

How do you get element effects on weapons? I noticed a random SAM guy having a fire effect on his Augmented ironworks katana?

Looking to transfer servers, since there's no way I can have time to play on balmung with 2 hour queues. Anyone have things to say about mateus, coeurl, goblin and zalera?

Yeah. Castrum Albania is pretty fucking good for a 69 dungeon too. Gives about 2 million or so exp a run.

Where's all the EXP to be had? someone said PvP. Never done it before but i'm getting sick of being gimp so i gotta get my grind on

I'm up to the level 67 dungeon. So far they've all been really cool. The 65 dungeon is by far my favorite.

So I just got back into playing this game. I have heavensward, but I've never played. I have a lvl 50 brd ilvl 110 and a ninja ilvl 60. I don't think i've beat the game far enough to unlock heavensward. I want to play ninja because bard is boring, but my bard has a higher ilvl so i'm not sure what to do. How do I gear up my ninja so that I can move onto heavensward? Or should I just play on my bard? I'm so lost..

PvP, its 700k every 11-ish minutes. Nothing else even comes close.

what did she mean by this?

ilvl means nothing, as you can quickly get it 'up to date' relatively quickly.

what queue is that? Frontline roulette? feast?

The ARR MSQ grants you good enough gear to unlock HW.

Jamie go to bed, why U fight a white mans war

So, how is your class doing?
Sch have so little mana now, feels weak and got few new abilities to play around with.

Healing is a lot less fun so far

Is MNK really that bad right now? I've been doing good levelling it but I'm worried about my end game.

Also, I've been meaning to level a ranged DPS but I know nothing about them.

AST has never been more fun.
Maybe a smidge less dps but that'll be made up for with Lord & Lady

I'm going to miss her crotch shots

Frontline roulette, go in as a freelancer. XP is fast and its guaranteed. Literally nothing else comes close to the gains.

>have PLD at 34
>oh boy I can get my tanking stance at a non retarded level now
>dungeons are trivial to hold aggro in
>just have to halone combo, flash/lob strays that lose aggro, and shield swipe when I see it light up
>bored out of my mind

I was told tanking gets enjoyable once you have a tank stance but so far this is as boring as playing dps.

Do I go back to playing healer? I wanted to try tanking since a healer mroe looks really out of place relative to them being in a frontline tank position

Since PLD is apparently the most fun and involved tank in SB I'm not sure what to think. I had a look over their later level abilities and it just seems like a lot of defensive cooldowns and not much in actual ability variety.

The more I'm going through the MSQ the more that the Garleans are turning out to be right and that Eoreza is full of degenerates.

change my tanks back reeeee

We have no fucking clue because Omega Savage isn't out.

Scholar is completely fucked, its just not a fun job anymore. I did a dungeon and hated it, and the new skills add nothing of real interest. I've switched to dps jobs

These leveling dungeons are great.

Are pvp exp rates fixed regardless of time/win/loss? could I make a premade group for quick losses for exp

I wanted to force myself to like WHM but the lilies are so goddamn boring and lack impact. The AF3 gear looks so much better than the shitheap that is the AF3 AST gear but I have no choice but to switch.

>figure out way to afford the expansion + sub time
>have an exam tomorrow and don't want to buy it now because i know i won't do last minute preparation

are PLDs good now?

>finally make it to Ruby Sea
>feels like I'm about halfway through it at this point
>still haven't unlocked that optional dungeon yet
The zone is pretty great though not gonna lie. I have a feeling I'm gonna kill a primal really fucking soon.

Summoner may have been gutted but at least whipping out Bahamut and destroying someone in PVP is fun.

>he hasn't finished finals already
nigga what late-ass univeristy do you go to

Also PLD is the best tank now

/gpose and lots of time/autism

>tfw BRD/SCH in HW
>now BRD/AST in SB
Might try MCH too. Only thing I'm bummed about is all the tanks seem to be very lackluster, at least AST is pretty interesting as far as healing goes.

the best, and still the most boring

Should I just wait until omega savage before I choose which DPS job to level?

From PS3 limitations to (new) server limitations

Pretty shitty server limitations for a goddamn subscription based MMO with a huge cashshop

it's a resit because i'm a dumb fuck who can't into math

I'm not sure how I feel. Seeing the game's population absolutely explode (they're even adding ANOTHER EU server on top of Omega now) has been really cool, on the other hand, the game has been a broken mess all weekend. Guess that marketing blitz was effective.

>tfw healer main in every mmo
>trying to switch to dps now since sch is shit and I don't want to play the others
>potd grinding is already burning me out on dps

That AoE DDR boss was great. The fact that the last boss spawned more than 2 line AOEs also didn't go unnoticed.

So, what's the verdict on WHM for people who've hit endgame? Still pushing up lilies, or is it alright? I've made it to the Ruby Sea so far and it doesn't seem that bad.

Not as good as ast but better than sch

>talking to my friend about the different class changes
>mention SCH and how it got the nerf bat to its kit and how it can run out of mana now
>he then goes on this small rant about how SCH is actually fine and those who are running out of mana are just bad and don't get the class
>he actually believes the nerfs SCH got were actually fine and that mana management is based around healers not knowing what to do
Jesus I guess anyone who doesn't want to accept a class being gutted goes through these mental gymnastics. Doesn't help he believes MNK is also fine too and that people bitching at the class don't actually "get" it now.

Never card mechanic is trash

What classes are proc heavy?

To each their own.

Go play tank, I heard there was a shortage of that role currently.

>some of the classes everyone said was cucked turned out ok and classes thought ok turned out cucked

what a world

Better that than having nothing to do.

RDM, MCH and BLM

>Susano ex no bonus
>ilvl 300 required

Thanks Raubhan

>RDM will have MP problems they said
Lucid Dreaming is pretty nuts tbqh.

>my server gets the Balmung treatment
I wasn't aware Cerberus was that congested and full.

>no bonus cancer still persists
Guess I'm not raiding in Stormblood either.

>be SCH main since they were introduced
>Can't even cast more than 8 adloqs without running out of mana
>Aetherflow made beyond useless for getting mana

What the fuck square.

>DRKs kept shitting on WAR for weeks
>they get fucked just as bad

its like half there kit got ripped out

Just make a learning party and kick as you see fit.

I started a new character on unpopulated server since I kept DCing and queueing on my main. Doing the MSQ is less fun than simply grinding.

I've been away for a few days Sup Forums, give me the quick rundown on SB early access.

DRK feels more active but at the same time it's almost too repetitive. Losing Scourge hurts my soul, I still open fights and instinctively hit my Scourge key only it doesn't Scourge anymore.

I'm not sure if I'm supposed to be using Dark Arts on Dark Passenger or not, it's a huge chunk of mana. Just unlocked Quietus and it feels underwhelming for how long it takes to ramp up the resources for it. New Delirium is kinda nice but mathematically doesn't end up being much of a damage buff apparently.

Leveling AST on the side because I've wanted to try healing and they're apparently pretty good at the moment. Wanted to try SCH but leveling Arcanist is boring me to tears.

This is why I got such a kick out of people playing armchair analyst for job changes pre-expansion. Night and day on a bunch of shit.

>dpsing my heart out
>barely broke 1/6 of my MP
I saw another RDM who's constantly hanging around half MP. Since the guides aren't out yet I don't know if that's a sign of playing correctly or not. Lucid Dreaming is insane though, if you get raised and pop that you'll be back to full at the end of it

I'm liking the buffs NIN got, especially how you could do doton>hide>katon>kassatsu>frog on a trash pull.

Damn, I forgot the second katon after the kassatsu.

With LD you should never go dry even if you raise one or two people. I have no fucking clue how you need to play to not have MP and I killed extreme primals so I probably know what I'm doing.

more like AdloquiOOM right
that's kind of what they get for laughing at WHMs for so long, now they're the only healer of the three who doesn't have MP issues somewhere down the line
what a ride

Constant kicks
Jobs are dumbed down
MSQ was broken in multiple areas, but the most famous was the early Raubahn and Pippin solo instances that blocked 98% of the NA playerbase for nearly 3 days
Same gear treadmill
Same fetch quests
More "QTE" stuff
DPS queues are as high as early ARR when everyone picked Dragoon

They don't even need to put no bonus in title. PF can block anyone who hasn't cleared now.

People still leveling so should be plenty of learning parties this week and raid finder to use as well

Sch in PvP sucks so bad

Too much effort, and way too time consuming.
SE needs to bar anyone with a ping >200 from entering Extreme/Savage instances, and to similarly bar anyone that hasn't cleared the relevent Stone/Sky/Sea trial.

When 1 person's mistake can wipe a party and waste 80 minutes of cumulative time, we really need to improve the player quality assurance in the raiding community.

how do you waste 80 minutes when a fight is 15 minutes max assuming you even get to the end

Thin Air and the impact of Stone 4 are what is keeping me interested. That and I actually have to try if I want to run out of MP.
Still have to see what it is like at 70.

Because there's 8 people in the party, and a wipe can take up to 10 minutes.
1 wipe = 80 minutes of leisure time and/or human life squandered.
