Perhaps, but even getting Ifrit/Garuda's weapon would help you a lot.
The most important thing you need to concern yourself with is HP. If you don't have enough Titan's stomps can out-right kill you [if the healers aren't fast enough to heal]. That's why many suggest a full set of DL gear before you attempt him as it has a decent amount of Vitality on them.

D'oh sorry - I meant I'm safe to do Ifrit HM in that gear, right? I won't attempt Titan until I get my DL and a better weapon, as you said.
Easily. I've done ifrit probably 15-20 times and my dragoon is in AF, assorted 30-50 whites and greens in other slots, and (was) using a level 44 weapon.
Ifrit is more about mechanics than dps imo. (With the exception of the nails, but eh)
The nails are easy if you have a BLM [such as myself] to Meteor them.
They do not stand a chance!

awesome, thanks guys! I'll definitely give it a shot tonight or tomorrow.
I have to admit I'm burned out.
I don't want to be burned out, but I am.
I want to like this game, level all the crafts, level the gatherings, level a second class.
Hell, getting my relic and full DL would be a nice start and I could probably do it in a week.
But it's like... it got to that point where is a job. I'll do some AK, some Prae, some failed attempts at Titan, level some craft another 5 levels, stopped gathering at lvl 30 with all of them and don't have the heart to do it anymore... and kind of that's it.
I fucking hate grinding, why do I give MMOs a chance? Why do I fool myself into thinking that this time grinding will be fun?
It's not. It's doing the same thing 300 times stuck into this limbo of everything you can do it's too fucking easy and you could probably program a Macro to do the dungeon for you because failling at AK, CM or Prae is pretty much impossible or be stuck in the frustration that is TItan. And neither is fun.
And that's it. Fun is over.
I'm not saying I'll give up the game because the last month it has been pretty much the only game I've played, but I'm forcing myself to play. I'm forcing myself to do time-consuming stuff I actively don't like to do in hope of unlocking content that might entertain me again.
I think I'll do the opposite and force myself to leave for a week. Maybe I'll miss it.

That is the problem. The point is to do stuff you find fun while unlocking more stuff to do you find fun.
If what you're doing is not fun for you, you have to stop.
Taking a break is the perfect solution and I hope you'll be back and back to having fun with the game.

I just applied SweetFX with these settings
http://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/1m3ktu/ffxiv_with_sweetfx_filtering_and_how_to_do_it/
and the colors are much better. less washed out.
I spend my time actually exploring the world, trying to see some amazing areas around the different maps etc.
Don't forget we get housing and PVP next month too... more stuff to do there.
This was addressed long before the trail was over.
I was AFK and returned to this.

Tried it, colors look good but I can't hang with the crappy blurred text.
If you don't want to use SMAA, just open the settings file and set the SMAA value from 1 to 0.
-EDIT-
That particular one uses FXAA, so set FXAA to 0. He also has a no antialiasing setting there. I disabled mine as well.
You misunderstood. I was asking what the population is like now that the free month is over, and whether anyone still encounters the occasional 1 to 2 player queue at login. Not the hell pit that was pre-server fix. I know very well that the login troubles have been fixed.

Sounds like a tool to me. A blacklist awaits him.

i bet she's a virgin
So now that I have a Relic, what do I do with the Ifrit and Titan Polearms? Are they junk to me now? Or can I turn them into swagtastic materia?
I bet he doesn't even bathe.

Anybody know anything about Leviathan server? Currently on Gilgamesh with some friends but my cousin might be transferring to Leviathan from Faerie and wants me to join him. Since he and his guild play more (they're on Turn 4) than my friends, I might join them. I don't want to end up on a mediocre or bad server though.

I gathered for a while, but the amount of crap you need for some professions (looking at you CUL) is beyond retarded. There's no way you can get to 50 on all crafts, in any reasonable kind of time, without buying something.

I'm so waiting for the Phil Tome Items market to crash
It's getting cheaper and cheaper by the hour
@6PM was @28K for those through shouts in Mor Dohna, by Midnight it was @22K
If potash drops to 10-15K per, I'll just buy mats for a full Vanya set lol

Thanks, now I start my way onto getting a Sword + Shield that glows!
Gonna get the Full Glowing set eventually lol
Maybe a year+ from now
Thanks, this worked for me!
Man, I feel like an idiot.
I accidentally left a duty finder instance before getting my reward which was my weapon.
There was only one other party member left and it had already been 30+ seconds since we opened the chest, so I didn't think that it wouldn't have been rolled on by this guy yet.
The reward in question was my Darklight weapon from Wanderer's Palace. I don't have my Ifrit weapon yet either so it would actually be a nice upgrade from the best GC weapon.
Anyone else ever make a similar mistake?

So I just unlocked Scholar recently and I was wondering, is there any reason not to just spam Adloquium?
Obviously with the higher MP cost it's not smart to use that for longer fights but for easier bosses and trash would I ever need to use Physick?

Basically I learned that adloquium is fine if you understand how to mana mangement yourself. As you already noticed the big difference is MP cost, but as I've seen some Scholars/Arcanists/Summoners don't get how to watch their mana, when to refresh aetherflow etc.
The general rule I've had is: If the target is getting hammered constantly, it's getting adloquim. Such as a tank, a stray DPS or even another healer who accidentally got caught in a stray AoE or hit is going to just get a physick. Since it was likely an accident. If the example however was changed.. the tank lost aggro, I'm going to be using adloquium if they need a shield, but otherwise physick if they have it up. As I'd prefer to have the extra mp just incase something happens.
Physick/Cure actually heal more than Adloquium, check the tooltips.
Generally healing for trash mobs works like this:
Adloq before battle on tank if you have time
I generally will use Adloq as my first cure if I didn't use it before battle, this is to give me time to get DoTs (Bio II, Miasma, Bio, thunder/aero optional, in that order) on the main mob we're fighting.
If the health of the person you need to heal is only down a little bit, generally use physick. If you have a nearly full MP bar then you don't need to worry so much about which healing spell you use.
If the health of the person you're trying to heal is kind of low, use adloq to put a shield on them + a small heal, and then use physick to top them off while the adloq shield prevents further damage.
To be a good healer you will need to control your pet, this means putting embrace on your hotbar somewhere and using it manually (use it right before, not after, your own healing spell for a big heal). A Physick + Embrace will actually heal more than your (eventually learned) 20% heal ability in most cases, and won't cost an aetherflow charge.
You don't need to get into manually controlling the cooldown abilities of your pet, though.
You can also use the place command to place your pet near the tank and it will usually heal more often on it's own, but this can make it susceptible to AoEs/etc. and it can be more of a hassle than it's worth.
tl;dr: adloq for its shield ability, physick/embrace for their healing ability
im tryin to pay to renew my subscription but i tried using 3 cards and all of them getting refused. It doesnt even tell me what the error is. Just refuses.
Should I try another method? Im trying to use Credit card
EDIT: Tried to use Crysta and same error. Why doesnt SE want my money?

It seems DRG and MNK are now excluded for the elitist parties. Past few days I've seen shouts where they say they no close range dps or range dps only.
No PS3, Relic Weapon, Paladin only, Range DPS only.
Getting some FFXI flashbacks here.
I like your way of thinking.

Those people are speedrunning. They are in a hurry. You don't need to join those people if you don't want to.
Also, most speedrun parties take 1 melee DPS for the Limit Break. If you have only ranged DPS, you are actually slowing your speedrun down because ranged LB is much worse for single targets (i.e. bosses) than melee LB.
Final destination.
I think it says more about the balance of the classes than anything. If what you're saying is true, then melee is purely there for one move, LB. It's like Thief in FFXI only being there for Treasure Hunter at endgame. There's clearly an advantage range DPS classes tend to have over close range at the moment.
Perfect.
