Still need Foes Requiem for both casters.

the issue is the disjointed experience have at the end of the 2.0 story and missing out on what is probably the best boss fight in the game. Ppl tell the new ones to watch the cutscenes in the inn, but boss fights now have no context, and for ppl that want to watch the cutscenes they miss out on fights. Obviously they can run it again for the boss fights, but it's such a disservice to new players.
what casters? you're gonna be running 3 dragoons and a ninja
Sure, why not? People complained about monk and war back in 2.0 days and yeah, look how they are now but that doesn't change that they were pretty shit back then. I do agree that we could have at least waited for a raid before crying though.
Bruh, max deeps is 4 SMN.
Download ACT (Advanced Combat Tracker) and run it in the background. Know that it's frowned on by the game's creators and don't talk about it in game around strangers.

ask someone else with a parser. It's the only way. You can use the threat bar under your name when you're attacking bosses, and seeing what number you are, but it's a very basic way to measure with no real feedback
The issue is they didn't exactly make Prae and CM DF friendly, especially when you look at how Research Facility is laid out.
If they seriously wanted to enforce a better story experience, then they should just baby-pen players or prevent the boss from spawning while someone is watching a cutscene. If that happens though I'm not going to bother with MS Roulette.
Bards use quelling strikes usually, don't they? So the bar under the name won't mean much.
In Ravana, yeah you can use it for the opener and the phases where he's got a damage up buff but outside of that? Nope.

I'll get to work, as a tank, raising the DPS of all the subpar BRD and MCH players. Should solve the PF banning in about a week. Thanks for the advice.
2x DRG, NIN, MCH
2x SMN, NIN, BRD
Probably better overall.
Sorry but one person is not more important than everyone else.
No but you should at least work on not being low DPS for a tank.
You don't, or you find somebody who parses and have them judge you.
You don't have to move too much in Bis; Minuet should be up for the two on-Bismarck DPS checks and I'd say chuck it up after the first buff swap on adds because all your CDs come back up and you can burst opener on a snake which is not nothing. I left it up full time because stubborn, though.
Ravana has a bit more movement ; I turned it off for adds because cast times were making me miss most attacks as stuff would die too quickly and left it off during his DEF up phase. Otherwise I kind of worked on stutter step practice and learning when to expect parries to go up so I could move between GCDs (and usually run the wrong way and swear profusely because right and left are hard.)
Nope. I had two people in my CM roulette last night that were new. We told them to feel free to do whatever and we burned through bosses without them.
Let's not pretend Square didn't anticipate that being the norm with the addition of MS Roulette. If they want, just add a Main Scenario Theater Roulette where no one can skip cutscenes but you get double rewards.

Come back! I can help you with dungeons and such if I'm around.
Is this the part where I turn in my badge and soul crystal.

Ah, ok. I've been confused as to whether WM was worth keeping on all the time. Thanks!
He is the worse.
Darkside is the point of making Grit desirable for main tanking since it's only a 5% damage penalty while in tank stance, compared to the 20% of other tank stances.
I really don't see how you guys think Roulette is there to facilitate cutscene runs.
Bard, BLM, SMN and Ninja. Which is fine, really. We also have DRK and PLD/WAR on the tank side so unless something is really wonky in the raid then I don't anticipate any issues. Yoshida said that their ultimate goal is for no one class to really be "needed" despite things like T13 needing Dragon Kick early on... we'll see if that's changed.

Thanks for the responses.
I have never had any complaints or issues except for that one person who wanted me to use Mage's Ballad.
When is our Dusk Vigil date~

What class do you play? I bet it sucks.
Ninja, so basically god mode class.

So I need to finish all the 2.x story stuff before I can start levelling again right?
but I can buy the expansion now if I want to start on DRK or the other new classes?
I bought ARR before it was available on steam. can I just buy heavensward from steam now and get a key to register to my SE account? the client and account stuff is still handled by SE outside of steam right?

Alexander looks great, music is awesome too.
if you don't own ffxiv on steam don't buy heavensward on steam
dark knights' job trainer is in ishgard, which you need to finish the 2.55 storyline to get to.

because that is what it's there for. why else would there be a roulette for main story if not to help ppl with the main story
yea, it was more of if you're 4 outta 4 behind a healer, in some cases this may mean something
Since we seem to be on a BRD discussion at the moment. Fellow GAF bards, do you feel we are behind by too much? I'm talking even in 2.x era. yes we have mobility (after our openers now and burn phases) yes we have utility (which as of 3.0 it isn't as important) but being 20% behind the lowest dps above us I think is too large of a gap in my opinion.
I was hoping that the changes in Heavensward would of changed that but as we know it's done quite the opposite for the most part. I like most of the competent bards out there just learned to deal with it but every once in a while it comes back up.
Edit: I should mention we are 20% lower on dps in Ideal situations. If anything in actual fights we are more around 15% possibly

Not even entirely about taking risks but just things like actually dumping MP into DA Souleater combos, defaulting to more Delirium combos over threat combo, etc. STR gearing when you no longer need VIT, for instance.
Basically, just not being lazy as a tank.
Fixed it ... not entirely sure how that happened ;__;

If you buy the expansion, you immediately lift the lvl 50 cap and will begin progressing to 51+.
To get DRK and other jobs you will have to finish the main story line up to 2.55. The new classes are available in Ishguard and start at lvl 30.
And no, the steam version only upgrades the steam version. It sucks, but that is how things are.
No, if you buy the expac, you'll start gaining exp past level 50 regardless of where you are in the story but a character can't become a DRK until after they get to Ishgard and you can't go there until you complete the 2.x story.

And then we get into the argument of what the minimum qualification is for what counts as "help ppl with the main story." Is it to get them a clear so they can proceed with the rest of MSQ or giving them the most immersive story experience and the clear.

Guys, the Main Story roulette has one simple purpose:
It is to give an incentive to players who have already beaten their Main Story to still go back into it,thereby filling instances and providing a playerpool for newer players who are doing their story. Otherwise the playerpool would dry up more and more and new players would have a harder and harder time finding people to run it with them.
It is more important that you can run the content at all and not that you run it "right"

Fairly sure Exelon hasn't found anybody yet... Our group is looking for a main tank to do some Alexander normal this week from Wednesday through Sunday. Our PLD will be on vacation for those days to continue his pattern of booking trips during raid releases. We'll be going hard Tuesday night before his vacation, but I am guessing we will also be running on Wednesday and Thursday nights. I won't be here Friday to Sunday, so I don't know if we'll be running then. Going to need a DPS replacement for me for those days too!
EDIT: We usually start around 9 or 9:30 PM EDT and go for a few hours before people have to take their blood pressure medication.

As someone who just started 3.0 content over the weekend I feel notably under powered when it comes to damage.
Once I hit 60 I think I am going to switch to something else. Bards get no respect.

Sure, I'll do cutscene runs when I queue up for my daily CM/Prae in regular Duty Finder.
You're a terrible player.
