Why would they prevent that? That's exactly what you're supposed to do for maximum DPS. Potion, stack cooldowns, and experience a few seconds of optimal damages.

The game won't let me create any characters on North American servers. Tried for 5 hours last night and an hour or so today so far. It'll let me create one on JP Ixion, though.

You said this in chat, I wasn't too sure if I believed you.
It's beautiful.
I haven't been able to do any of the group content yet due to login restrictions, character creation restrictions, etc. If it is indeed as strategic as you say, I am even more interested in this game now.

In FFXI you could use multiple abilities before animations finished. Sneak attack > Trick attack, weapon skill could take under 1 second iirc. They'd just merge together in a weird animation.
I was going off of FFXI endgame, but watching some of FFXIV's level 50 tough fights ranger will indeed be useful. Bard may be helpful but fast ranged constant good damage will end fights faster I'm sure, and the ranger will not have to stop dps because of deadly aoe. Also being able to help with any add instantly and switch back over to the main boss will be so nice. I'm sure in a few days Archers will start getting their confident smirks.
Not automate, but you can press number pad 0 to click through everything so you don't have to use your mouse.

Had a tank for Ifrit who literally ran in a circle around him the whole time. The healer and I (Arcanist) were constantly running lol

They already announced that they are stopping character creation on many servers.
Check lodestone for updates for this stuff.
Anyone know how to quickly de-target from a mob on the PS3, like if I need to run away from a large AOE?
My solution right now is to turn off the autotarget/auto-face the mob option, but that's not a perfect situation because it's sometimes difficult to face the mob to use my skills when I have to reposition.

lol im too far ahead i think. im 31. it looks nice though, whats the name of the pieces? and is it disciple of war armor or the armor that can be used by multiple classes?
Been playing on Excalibur since I already had a character created there. I changed him to a Lalafell Thurmaturge since it let me basically recreate the toon, wish I would have stuck with Archer. I may change it when I hit 15 or whenever it lets me. Think I will go Bard instead of Black Mage.
This tip is great. Thanks so much. At least my attempts to log in will be quicker now.
Just did my first healer run of Satasha.
Let the tank die on mob because I mistimed my recast of cure, then canceled the next one by accidental move.
Wipe on the final boss cause none closed the water hatches and I healed a dps 2 to 3 times in a row while I though I had the tank selected.
The amount of healers must be extremely low, no one said a thing.
For the record, I did pass on most of the drops to make up, and it's been years since I did priest healing in wow MC/BWL.
Good fun though, really reminded me of old school wow priest healing.

boss battle theme will never get old. yum.
Been playing on the PC (with a 660ti) and it looks gorgeous.
Downloaded the standard PS3 version today (already have the CE from 1.0 on PC) and, while it's nice to lay back and play on my 55", I really can't wait for the PS4 version.
Still, I like having the option of playing it on a console.

Ifrit will be a really good test for you. He has high burst damage and, as a healer, you'll have to be vigilant of his strikes directed at you.
EDIT: Also, Sat is easy-peezy, as are the other 2 starter dungeons.

It's amazing how this guy is already server famous.
While we're hunting down mechanics (I should probably check the OP to see which theorycraft sites are out there), does triggering an ability reset the auto-attack swing timer? I guess it's hard for me to notice with MRD's 3.2sec swing. Certainly feels like the ability at least overwrites the animation for auto-attack.

MRD29, died once in Copperbell and twice in Haukke. My fault every time!
I died a few times on a CNJ class quest because I forgot about Repose, but I think that's been it.
There was no Japanese conspiracy bullshit in his statement. It was a statement of fact about how you can fuck up your launch so bad that you can't create a character on any NA server and if you want to play the only option right now is the Japanese servers.
Maybe because it's not prime time play hours in Japan right now? Wait until late night in the US and you can make a character on almost any NA/EU server.

So...stat points. Any guides/tips for what I should put them into for each class?
I'll say, my son wakes up super early (like 5:30am cst) and was able to make his character on Ultros then without a problem, despite them saying that Character Creation is closed on them.

Last I checked, about 45 min ago, character creation was down on all NA/EU servers...

Why did I log off earlier today? 1017 hurts me a little. I just want to cut on some trees.
Edit: IN! Never logging out ever again
Someone in my ffxi linkshell stayed logged on afk for months and never moved.
This looks good
