Pretty sure, it's lump sum. Otherwise, people can just pay the cheaper rate, charge for 1 month and cancel.

Hey quick question. Do I have to register my security token? I got one of those keychain things with the CE but whenever I try and enter the one time password it just says invalid password... halp

I believe so, you'll have to link it to your account so you can use it.

Then it's broken. If one class needs amazing gear to be as not quite as good as the other class in average gear, that's the definition of imbalanced.
I love how Yoshi says WAR should L2P yet he mains a HEALER. He should play his own goddamned game as the two tank classes and then come back and tell everyone to L2P.
A healer would notice more easily than most the difference between the two tank classes, too. There's no doubt that warriors take damage much more quickly and I have to spam cures considerably more with them. I don't mind it a lot for the content we've got now, but the difference is certainly stark from my point of view and should be from his as well.

This is my issue as a paladin. There's no way you'll find me wearing that tin can darklight body. My hoplite tabard will do, along with darklight legs/accessories and AF2 arms/head/accessories that's plenty till something better comes along (I really wanna get up to coil but haven't had any luck with Titan parties yet).

Tanks should provide more benefit to their party beyond just tanking, this would help to differentiate them. Right now, in the "I take damage for you' department, WAR doesn't do as well as PLD. But what if WAR provided a damage boost to the rest of the party as he was tanking to offset the overall cost of requiring more healing? It would be interesting to consider.

So my Guildmaster told me that as a lancer, I just unlocked the option to start studying other classes. Are there any particular specialties that best go with a Lancer or should I double down my time and effort on progressing further as a Lancer?

Cure a lot. Not much spikey damage on tanks, but there's a lot of dodging on the bosses like Ultima.
Are monks good damage? My friend complains a lot of the work needed to put in to sustain damage high enough to compete with smn/blm/brd, but they're ranged

Seriously where the fuck is my Warcry? FFXI WAR had a decent foundation for this but stopped being balanced as a tank once Paladin and Ninja came around. SE just needs to take the same concepts and apply them to an actual tank Job.
Yes they do good damage. You do have to pay some attention to keeping greased lightning up whenever possible and sometimes it's simply not, but other than that there's not much else to worry about other than the same thing the other melee class has to.
Later on the two classes whose skills you'll have access to are Pugilist and Marauder.
His favorite job is actually Black Mage.
That's fucked up tho, a PLD can be a shittier player with shittier gear and still be a better tank because SE is stupid (or all those crying PLDs in XI complaining about Ninja ruined it this time around)
My heart goes out to all you WAR <3
They should have Warcry and they should also do more damage. If you're gonna gimp them in tanking at least give them some respectable DPS.
I made my WAR friend level PLD.
And you're proud of that?
did you used to be a PUP or something
I kid I kidnot
No, I only play healers in MMOs.
Yes. He's a lot happier now.

So, who can invite me to the GAF guild?
maple cookie probably.
Well, good for him, then. But I'll never be one to say "I never want to group with <such and such class>" because that kind of attitude is what made FF11 so unbearable at times. Warrior is worse than paladin right now, but not so dramatically so that they're useless, so I won't be treating them as such, and I'm happy to support anybody who actually would rather play warrior than paladin.

Props.
I think we did fine last night vs Titan with me as WAR tank and 2 healers, had a lot of people saying it wouldn't e doable without 3. I guess Coil will be my wake up call.
Hear, hear!
I definitely respect people who stick with WAR tanking than switching over to PLD tanking. This is coming from someone who mains PLD.
...just to clarify I picked PLD from the beginning because the tiara makes me feel pretty.
I am the same unless someone is genuinely unhappy with their experience and needs a change to progress.
Warrior probably isn't as as bad as some say but they need to not only know what they're doing but also have healers that can adjust their play-styles to suit WAR tanks.

Are there any pictures of it?

I don't have any pictures offhand, its just a slightly different colored version of a model that is used for many sets. Look at any set consisting of a haubergeon, sollerets, mitt gauntlets, and chain coif and it will look pretty much the same. The helm is a little different as it has a crown like element on top.
ps4 version beta won't start til feb i think
Hoooly crap!
After 7 straight hours, Titan is down.
Thanks SO much to everyone who helped. I swear I will pay you back one day, and I will definitely pay it forward and help everyone who needs a WAR for Titan clearance. As Safflower said...two healers and WAR tank...what WAR problems?
Really belated, but grats Rock!

Warriors already do more damage than Paladins, even if it's not through group buffs. There have been a few Titans where my damage through the fight is higher than the actual DPS.
As for being weaker, the only fight where I would say Paladins have a major advantage is Titan. Especially with 2-healers, careful cooldown and Wrath usage is critical just to survive. It's made worse by Titan being the only 8-man 1-tank fight in the game, and being the gatekeeper to Relic/Coil.

As one of the healers being put to task to heal that gimp warrior above, a lot of these warrior complaints feel so exaggerated. I agree, they could do with at least one more cooldown, but it's not to the point where people should be re-rolling and not inviting Warriors to groups.
Also, Rag log in! I need some Botany AF made D:
Edit-- What happened to the stinklines Vero added in that picture!?

So as a Black Mage, am I able to get a cross class ressurection spell or am I just out of luck there?

Out of luck. Only Arcanist, Summoner and Scholar can use it.

Random crafting question: Master's Mend vs Manipulation. Is the only difference a savings of 4 CP?
Yep. I got this WAR to quit on me because he kept getting to half or below half health off one or two hits and I couldn't keep up the healing on him.
Speaking of tanks, what's up with some of these tanks copping an attitude with people trying to open chests and explore and what not? Had two tanks leave on me and others in my second run of Darkhold for trying to explore the dungeon and get treasures. What reason do one need to speed run Darkhold for? Just need my Coliseum Shawl and I'll be groovy. Wish I got this one nice tank from my first run instead....
Yea, I *really* hate when that happens in MMOs like this and people who want to play WAR are pressured into rerolling or not playing altogether for some issues they don't actually understand yet are "oh-so-big-a-deal". They have problems I feel, but they should not be excluded from content or treated with disdain because some scrubs who aren't doing their job properly want to be carried.
I healed a WAR through my Titan HM and I'll do it again anytime I have time. F*ck the people leaving players by the wayside like that because they are playing a class they like, it's inexcusable. I thought I'd have to listen about that for SMN too but thankfully ppl shut up about that.
If you use Manipulation with only 10 durability left, you can't use a durability-costing action the next turn. That's about the only downside Manipulation has compared to Master's Mend (outside of the obvious cross class slot usage in most classes).
You can also use Manipulatoin at 20/40 durability and get the full benefit of +30 durability if you use at least one durability-costing action in the next three turns. This does get around the possibility of an Excellent condition popping up when you're at 10/40. That is a very rare occurance, though.
Overall, I think the benefit of Manipulation is minor, but it is definitely worth having if you can afford the cross class slot. It's usually the fourth one I pick up unless the crafting class I'm in has one of the first three.
Well said. I only ever use Manipulation at 20/40 durability personally. Master's Mend II at 20/80 durability is also great.

How do I leave a FC? Do I have to join another one to replace the one I'm currently in?
