Looking like it's hard for an Astrologian to find a static right now. :c They need to make some changes on that class, maybe? I don't know much about it. I sorta want to level it myself so I can understand them more.

This is what I thought someone would say, I suppose I have joined at a largely DLC focused time. And I am playing catch-up.
I mean I am level 32 so in my mind I am not too far away from 50.. right?
Thank you for repling.
Best explanation ive heard is that Astros aren't really equipped to deal with someone screwing something up catastrophically. Comparatively when everything goes well they make it all easier with their buffs, but when things go bad, they don't really have that "OH CRAP" ability to steal one from the jaws of defeat like a WHM.
TBH I have only partied with those running dungeons and then I never see them again. I tend to find because a lot of the main quest story line bit require me to be solo, I am having to break parties a lot!
I suppose that this changes later on because it's ruining partying for me.
Getting to 50 doesn't take long at all, but getting up to the expansion content requires completing a LOT of story quests at lvl50, luckily higher level players will still be doing that content thanks to the daily roulettes.
If I was told focus on leveling my one and only job I could expect it to go faster, but I am trying to keep a consistant level of Jobs so like for example, Making sure I can craft armor and weapons for my main job,
meaning I am leveling Leatherworking, Blacksmithing, Weaver, Botanist, Miner, all at the same time.
I just tend to find that the market place items for my level are way to expensive. and I want to earn money to get my own room in the GAF House.
Maybe I am not focused enough

Unless you really focus on them, crafting is a bit of a money sink early on, gathering classes like miner/botanist are good to level, my suggestion would be to focus on your main combat class until you get higher level and start getting more gil from quests/leves.
Roger that !,
I will start the Main Job focus tonight / soon.
Who knows how long it will take me..
I think with the Heavensward patch they increased exp and added in more equipment rewards for all the story quests too.

Honestly, I'd say don't bother trying to level up crafts if it's just to make leveling gear. You go through levels at such a pace that'd if be a waste of time trying to update gear every few levels. If you want to though, go for it.

Leveling crafts is helpful but people are usually seeking high/max level crafters for max level gear, vanity, or melds.
But like I said, if it's something you want to dedicate yourself to go for it.
What does this mean?
Are you keeping your avatar to remind yourself of better times.
A static group is a set group of players that you play with frequently, when it comes to end-game content people tend to like specific classes/jobs.
oh so for me my Static would be WHM ?
I'm okay with Alex gear being kind of bland, considering they need to stretch that gold steampunk motif across at least three gear sets.
I just hope the DRG set has a /visor, or the helmet's getting turned off. I'm iffy on tridents, so far everything's been an enormous step back from the Relics of ARR.
Your static would be 7 other people.
Their classes can change and so can yours.
It's just raiding terminology from other MMO's.

Well, Dreadwyrm was a departure from Allagan stuff so we may be free from steampunk early!
I need better pictures or just the renders of the armor but I think the tin can of fending set is cool.

No, your WHM would be your main.
A static group would be
You (WHM)
Player 1 (SCH)
Player 2 (WAR)
Player 3 (DRK)
Player 4 (DRG)
Player 5 (BRD)
Player 6 (BLM)
Player 7 (SMN)
Static groups tend to be a full (or nearly full) group of players with jobs that complement eachother and allow you to get through content easily/quickly.
Well because if I had to try and do two Fire IVs in a row and I was interrupted and had to move for mechanics the strong likelihood is that I would lose my Astral 3 (either during the second Fire IV or directly after). Unless maybe you know a way that this can be avoided. The timings on the Astral Fire are pretty tight but I'm trying to work with them and choose what to cast based on that rather than force some ideal rotation that doesn't seem feasible with the way fights/skills are currently set up.
Wait... so that giant
goblin thing that appeared at the end of the story
...yes. And I don't know if it's spoilers since they showed it in Live Letters ages ago. I think the very first Heavensward info dump included Alexander's appearance?

Who would want a bard in their static?
Every static needs someone to make fun of?
Yo Puppy, how many people of our old static are back in business?

I think I fixed it!
Don't tell Pell.
Is a Bard really this bad?
XIV Models hasn't updated since 2.2 because few people used it for the amount of work they had to put into it. So it's only good for 2.0 to 2.2 stuff.
I'm not too familiar with miquote models, but at first glance I thought it was photoshopped, given that the eyes are too big and creepy looking for the face size. If the NPC is in the game however, you can generally make the character in character creation. Such a sight, however, is not divine, but rather common. That miquote looks hideous.
That's a child mi'qote that's in Idyllshire.

I think 4 of them are playing now. (Including me)
Pretty sure they have a new static though.
I'm hoping statics won't be needed for Alexander normal so I can pug it on my free time.

I found playing bard fun, but I've not gotten the newer skills yet. Got White Mage (WHM) to 60 first, slowly working on Black Mage (BLM) now.
I also enjoy crafting/gathering but it is a real gil sink. I'm working on getting Miner to 60 on the side

The new skills are where SE took a steaming dump on bard players.
How do you decided on a static?
Heh, cool. I didn't excactly plan to come back, just don't have the time for an MMO anymore. Just wanted to know if team ragequit is back in business

With a full FC of GAF members do we not have those that will help each other ?
So like a Blacksmith that has the epic gear sets then those under them that can make mats etc..
We could create a request community with the FC..
OR am I thinking to complicated?
Everyone with too much free time should get bard to 60, do Neverreap and Fractal on Bard, then turn around and repeat with Machinist and wonder what exactly Bards did to the FFXIV Dev Team to deserve their situation.
Machinist is pretty solid design-wise, but you can't get the full contrast without the post-Minuet bard struggle experience.
What's SE?
Bards sound like they've been punished ?

Just come back as a casual pleb like me! The story is really good in this one.
Think about this. Galen was a BRD. We should watch out for SE destroying NIN now.
Square-Enix
The BRD class was a range class that didn't have cast time for their abilities, so they could move while they attacked. The new ability introduced makes them have a cast time for most attacks, which limits the mobility, doesn't increase damage that much, and makes them clunky to play, as it was thought off after the old play style.
Xion_Stellar
People should stop referencing data that makes me feel uncomfortable because games get ported to platforms I don't like
SE=Square-Enix
Punishment isn't the word I would use it's more like getting the shaft as all the skills the Bard got in the expansion are nearly useless at the moment and yes that includes that silly song we get at Lv.58 that gets negated by every esuna like spell from the Healers.
