As a Healer, (or anyone really) is there a way to target someone without switching target from the mob?

I know there is the ability to have a secondary target from your main target, but in this case you have to keep retargeting your secondary target after every skill.

As in example, I want to target the mob for offensive spells, but have a soft target with no reticle on the tank for all healing/boon spells that I happen to cast. I was watching a video and it seemed like this was possible.

On an unrelated note, why are people making Macros with 2.5 sec wait times? At the later levels won't this be lowered through gear and other buffs (Scholar Pet's - Fey Light/Fey Glow ability), better to keep it piecemeal.
In pc version you can easily do <mo> for mouseover. Works like a charm to by just moving mouse over to the party list :p

for pad users I would totally dedicated 4 buttons to heal ea party member on ea button imo
 
So I noticed Amazon removed its FFXIV digital download again. It was definitely there this morning... Anyone know when this game will be available again?

Whenever Amazon gets more keys from Square-Enix. They had them up on tuesday as well for hours and then shut it down after they ran out of keys.
 
Strange, I lost all my Gil. It was 175k... so it is not too bad, but I went added and registered a one time password. Not sure what happened, I have everything else... just the gil is gone: (

Accidently store it with your retainer?

Otherwise ya.. I should do a one time pass myself.

I checked my retainer which had 50k, but that was from selling items. I did the one time password and also contacted support..I want to think this is more of a bug..but I don't know..I would think they would change my password if I was hacked.
 
Really good stuff. Thanks everyone.

Still unsure which method to adopt, pros and cons with each.

targeting the tank and using <tt> seems like the best option in most cases, though there will come a time when you wanted to target something else.

<mo> was what I think I saw in the video, but I am a "clicker" for the far right abilities which are emergency/long recast times. It's a bad habit, probably should break it now while I'm still fresh.
 
Losing 175.000 isn't too bad??? i have 80.000 after hours and hours without spent a coin.

Anyway, what is the point of give money to a retainer?
 
Anybody tried Catalyst 13.10 beta? nothing specific abou FFXIV in changelog, but who knows...

13.10 beta is already out? Hmm..tempting.

My game has a small stutter every now and then on a 7950. Do you too or anyone else?

Yeah, I know FFXI on PC isn't a good example to use, but the last time FFXI stuttered on an AMD GPU with Win7 for me was because the ethernet card(not wifi) on my laptop was interfering with it somehow and disabling it fixed it almost like magic...

I get a small stutter every now and then. I'm using a 7850.
 
The way they are locking and unlocking character creation on servers is starting to piss me off now. Friends started on another server. I make a PGL. Decide I want to tank more and don't feel like going to level 10 before I can switch jobs. Delete the character and now all of a sudden the server is locked... unbelievable

Yeah. Doesn't make much sense if you already have a character on the server why can't you create more. It's not like you can login and play more than 1 character at a time.
 
How do you use the Amoire btw? I'd like to store old gear, but can't figure out how to use the damn thing.
Yeah, I'm sure the Armoire will become useful later on [once we start unlocking/receiving better gear], but right now it's useless. I'm using one of my Retainers to store my excess gear [ones I can't convert use to not being spiritbound yet] and the other for items.

On the topic of items, I remembered that I still have the Final Fantasy XIII code. I used it to gain access to the beta [since apparently entering that code gave you priority] but nowhere else. Is this for the Asuran Armguards? If so, are they still obtainable and, if so, where do I enter the redemption code at?
 
Yeah. Doesn't make much sense if you already have a character on the server why can't you create more. It's not like you can login and play more than 1 character at a time.

To make matters worse I had just deleted that character as well to reroll a different job..
It's insane. In the span of 5-10min they locked character creation...
 
I just failed the Brayflox's Longstop dungeon (as a level 33 White Mage healer) ... what a horrible experience that run was.

Either the incoming damage is really high in there, or the tank did not move out of the area effects in time. But I just could not keep the tank alive, even continuous Cure II spam was not enough.

We wiped on thrash groups and bosses ... and it was somehow always my fault. I tried to explain that there is just too much damage. But they kind of ignored that argument, and I had to apologize the whole time.

I had no problems with healing in Haukke Manor ... Soooo is there considerably more damage in Brayflox's Longstop? Or did the tank just eat all avoidable damage?
As a tank ( PLD ) Brayflox is hell for me. I did it twice, won it twice, but with many wipe, and the healer had a really hard time keeping me alive.
I don't even think gear make that much of a difference even as a tank, I went first with mostly lvl 25 gear, we still did it with only an hard time against the last boss ( really couldn't afford to take his breath, 700-900 hp taken out of my ~1400 ), but I took heavy dommage on every pack.
The second time ( today ) I went with mostly lvl 32 gear ( except for ring / earing / neck ), I ended up dead at every boss I think, mostly because the whm ended up out of mana or because I took too much dommage too fast ( even thought I try to have my defense bufff up for when there is add which is where the dommage spike happens ); and we only beat the last boss 28 sec before the end, and I hade to kite him so i would take less dommage and the whm could keep up.

So I really don't get this donjon, by all mean I don't want to put all fault on the healer, since I'm not perfect, on another hand I don't know as a Pld what I can do better than : getting every mob to hit me, and using my few ( and on big cool down ) dommage mitigation skills when dommage spike happens.
Maybe it need more teamplay, more sleep on the adds, etc.. for things to get easier.

Yet I will do it again because now I can't bring myself to do the next dungeon without getting some gear out of Brayflox in hope it will help me.
 
?????? WHY




Yes that sounds stupid. Hear me out.

I know how the game works, I played tons of 1.0 as well. I asked my friends what was most needed for endgame, they said PLD. So Instead of leveling my already made PGL to level 10 to unlock class switching... I obviously decided to reroll.

But between the 5min of starting my PGL they locked the freaking world down :/ Considering it was one of the many new NA servers that actually let you create a character I figured it would be no problem. 5min later there is only one NA server open...
 
Why is every pug retarded? It's not difficult to hide behind a pillar and kill some adds, but everyone has 50 excuses for why they are unable to do it.

Is there anyone who isn't a complete moron on Sargatanas that wants to blast through Garuda?

To be fair, the game is absolute shit when it comes to updating positions in a timely manner. I've seen tanks fall dead on instagibs a mile away from the target zone.

The Duty Finder is my last resort. I usually ask peeps from the GAF FC to help out and some usually do.
 
I'm meandering my way through the content, but I'm getting more and more worried about end game tanking with my WAR. I did Brayflox two nights ago and nearly died to Dragon's Breath a couple of times in the last fight, purely because I couldn't get out of the AOE in time.

It's partially a reflex thing, but being in Australia the latency issue seems to contribute massively. I remember that beta gif of people walking out of AOE attack red zone areas, then back into them while they were still being displayed and not getting hit. That's basically my experience now, only when it's a quick-fire AOE attack, I don't always have time to get out of the area before it fires. I sort of have to guess when it's going to happen and start strafing, but that's not easy to do when I have acid pools to the left and right of me.

I probably should have rolled a DPS focused character on Ultros and tanking/heals on JP, but oh well.
 
Looked the guy up on Lodestone, of course he's L50. This is why leveling with FATEs is bad. Doesn't teach you how to actually play a class. Can just party up and get free XP.
 
For crafting, is the stuff you can make battle gear-wise at the end better than stuff you find from dungeons, or is the ability to slot your own materia the more important part?
 
Where my roe butts?!

I am also concerned about this too...you can give them huge tits and muscles, but they'll never have butts no matter what you do. It also clashes with the clothing design since Yoshida's silly bondage gear blouses and shorts/skirts clearly favor voluptuous characters but no one has anything going on below their waist.

This is one of the few things PSO2 got right (along with being able to make fat people--it'd be awesome to have a non-roe barrel-chested MRD to play as)

With materia in it, HQ crafted endgame gear is on par with Bahamut stuff, maybe slightly better.
 
Are hunting logs randomized from player to player? Cos I'm looking at this guide, and a lot of the hunting targets they have listed are completely different from what I have in my hunting log.

No, they just changed between beta phases. It's just old data in a lot of cases.
