Support NeoGAF

White mage chains cure 1-2-3 together when the opertunity calls for it
Has an aoe heal, has a heal over time

SCH focuses on damage mitigation while healing, pet provides support healing

Do we know pet skills?

 

[SleazyC]

Not bad I guess. Darn, :x.

You running SLI'd? Also is your CPU OC'd?

I'm getting sub-8k scores on the benchmark with a GTX 770 and an i7 920 OC'd to 3.8GHz. Wondering if the jump form Nehalem to Ivy/Sandy/Haswell really makes that much of a difference. I know MMO's are generally CPU-bound but that is a pretty huge difference.

xivdb has them as "development abilities", so you have to sift through the entire list of skills to find them.

Thanks bby.

I'm so conflicted. My group needs a healer, but I don't know what kind to be!

Nope, everything's stock. Well, unless you count the 660 TI being stock OC'd.

 

[devious.one]

White Mage heals have combos that make them basically free with a potential mega heal stored up for when shit goes bad.

They both have their purposes.

Eh, I wouldn't call them combos, more like procs, 15% chance procs at that.

Even then though, I agree for the most part that they both have their purposes.

Yea, was me being stupid. Since the benchmark is tied to your FPS, having vsync on is a great way to drop the score down. Re-running without vsync nets me about 11.5k.

Some of you guys have beastly computers!

 

[LeviGratton]

3 year old laptop on max specs?

Not bad.

 

[Ferrio]

2600 is fairly high?

 

[Zabant]

Not bad.

Average Framerate:23.083
Consider switching to a higher resolution depending on performance

Are they insane? 23fps would be unbearable for me, and they recommend going higher than 1080 in certain areas?

Hell nawwww

 

[Bogeypop]

Fauck, forgot I messed around with Character Creator a bit last night then deleted it, now I can't post my magnificent specimen of a Lalafell for you non-Ultros people to see

Hmm...I had a look, interesting to say at least. ACN, SCH and SMN looks quite good.

Thanks bby.

You should level both then! that's the beauty of XIV!!

Client is free?

For ppl that bought 1.0

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Does Square Enix have no concept of, like, build control?

I doubt they give a rat's ass. People can mine all they want.

This engine and benchmark is highly optimized, scored much better with SLI enabled. I cannot wait for August 27th

We have our first 20k+ score on GAF. Shit just got real.

 

[LowParry]

Male Lalafell. Troll dance of the forever.

 

[Prometheus Zero]

Wow seriously impressed by the recent optimizations. Also.. is it just me or is the lighting vastly improved over Phase 3?

It is. You especially notice it when the party is in the dungeons, the torches all are dynamic lights and cause directional overlapping shadows when the party walks past.

 

[Pachimari]

If I pre-order the ordinary PS3 version, will I get early access on August 21?

 

[tiltnkirby]

I'm all set :

Phase 4, Quake Con and TI3, thank goodness for gaming you guys.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Does someone else have a 6970 (or 2x 6970CF) that can compare results? Mine just seem so low. As if CFX isn't kicking in or something, but it is enabled in AMD's CCC.

Here's mine: http://i.imgur.com/MgEBrpt.png

Here's my PC specs:
Mobo: Asus Crosshair IV Formula
CPU: AMD Phenom II X6 1090T (overclocked @ 3.8ghz)
HDD1: Kingston HyperX SATA III - 120 GB
HDD2: WD Black SATA II - 1 TB
GFX: ATI Radeon Sapphire 6970 x2 CF @ 900/1400 on both
Mem: 16GB (4x4gb) Kingston HyperX DDR3: 1333mhz @ 7-7-7-20-1T
Sound: HT Omega Striker 7.1
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate, x64, SP 1

TIA.

That definitely looks like a single-card kind of score. Has AMD or Squenix confirmed that CF is enabled for FFXIV yet? You might have better luck asking on the beta forums.

We know Nvidia has already activated SLI, because that 20k+ Titan SLI score is fucking crazy and awesome.

 

[Aureon]

So, we'll know the 8th when the beta is.
That means it'll start, at the very, very, very best, the 9th.
UGH.

 

[Apoptomon]

Pretty meh compared to all your other scores, but it is a mid-range 2012 laptop.

 

[Torquill]

Just FYI,

ARC = Archer

ACN = Arcanist

If you only had a nickel every time...

 

[devious.one]

Someone on Reddit compiled a full list of all the current ability changes.

Looks like PLDs got damage buffs all around.

Also, LNC's Invigorate is 500tp now instead of 300.

I thought early access starts the 20th? (7 days early)

Care to set everything to the lowest and telling us the score? I want a good laugh

[Jiraiza]

I hope they design a lot more gear like the level 50 gear. Maybe it's just me but I love those full outfitted knight look, it's pretty awesome. I can't decide whether the Hyur or Dunesfolk are better, damn it!

It is wrong on several things that I saw on the first pass. Life surge still heals, just down to a maximum of 10%. Blood for Blood is the same, but XIVDB lists the skills as they are at cap, so it is shown with the trait effecting it. Few other random things I'm sure.

dem Arcanist/Scholar skills

gimme :9

 

[LowParry]

Too bad the benchmark doesn't have v-sync. Either way, hyped.

Turning off ambient occlusion bumped my score from 9600 to 11500 though.

I'm just forcing it in my drivers, works great.

Yeah, after refreshing the page looks like hes doing a ton of clean up (doesn't have those LNC mix ups anymore, and the Invigorate buff is properly attributed to the trait.)

River of Blood (trait): Level increased to 48. Chance of Bloodletter CD resetting due to DoT damage on Venombite and Windbite increased from 20% -> 50%

Damn that's big.

 

[Korezo]

Way better than last benchmark.

 

[tatsuki]

I'm looking forward for phase 4.

 

[LowParry]

Heh. I'm always forgetting about that. Either way though, I down to two character types of Lalafell. Suppose I think on it and roll with one when the time comes.

Having Vsync would kind of defeat the purpose of a benchmark, which is to see how fast your card can render a scene without any kind of limiter.

There it is with everything on the lowest. I kept the resolution the same though

 

[Mastamind]

I don't want to be a stereotype but those arcanist pet abilities are making it hard to keep my lala from being a mage.

From the datamined class/jJob Ability Changes (Compiled) on reddit by Mrhappy1227

Arcanist Pet Abilities

Emerald Carbuncle

-Gust: 90 potency wind damage

-Backdraft: 80 wind potency knockback

-Downburst: AoE 80 potency

-Shining Emerald: Extends Masters DoT effects by 15s.

Topaz Carbuncle

-Shining Topaz: AoE 70 potency. Increased Enmity.

-Gouge: Single target 70 potency increased enmity.

-Curl: Decreased damage taken on pet by 20%.

-Storm: Delivers an attack for 60 potency that stuns.

 

[Ferrio]

Played around with the elf. Still going with Roe, but this would be a close second.

 

[we.are.the.armada]

Man, I swear some optimization must have been done since the last benchmark because I'm getting nearly 2000 more score. Also, seeing my Taru in the benchmark was pretty neat. Can't wait!

 

[Zabant]

Ahhhhhhhh, I like numbers

 

[theSlacker]

Damn that's big.

Yeah that's pretty amazing. Not as fun leveling though since you are getting it near the end, but still should be able to shoot off a bloodletter between just about every gcd skill.

 

[Qvoth]

I doubt they give a rat's ass. People can mine all they want.



We have our first 20k+ score on GAF. Shit just got real.

didn't someone say he got 24k yesterday?

 

[Akainu]

Being a Dragoon only means you equip a job stone and learn Dragoon skills. What you're leveling up is still, in essence, a lancer.

Still lvl up lancer, while DRG you are still are a lancer, DRG is something you put over your class (a spec)

Thanks.

 

[NoLootBoxDev]

I am wondering if I could create a ugly character, everyone goes with nice/beautiful characters, but never an ugly one.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

Why females looks so good in this game?

WHY? Whatever ppl do they look nice (except Lalafell, but they are Lalafell...what can you do with that?)
