ugh, when does the HS story pick up? I just
killed Bismarck, I miss the scions =\
This. Once I just thought of it as Shadowflare and not a pet, it just became "oGCD set-and-forget."
They never did anything though
You're at past Bismarck and feel nothing? You've completed the Vault! Did it not jerk your emotions!? 
This honestly doesn't bother me much since Im used to "activate" dps with my scholar, its no different than stance dancing between Cleric Stance.

I still shed tears everyday at 2pm in honor

well they miss the scions so he might just be too much character for them
I'm just trying to get the Odin quest done, since I never bothered with it before, am I just unlucky with DPS that i'm getting through DF? No one seems to be able to not die in the second half of the fight. I'm tank, but it doesn;t seem all that tough to avoid stuff, and the healers seem to have been OK.
Was this considered a hard fight when it came out?

No he was no Aeris, and I've probably just played too many games to have not seen that coming anyways lol
Everyone remembers their first, even if their first wasn't that great.
It's not that hard. Theres not too much stuff to avoid, what usually kills folks is the dps don't kill the gungirs fast enough and the healers don't esuna the bleed so everyone ends up with double bleed. Tell the dps to kill the swords and the healers to esuna the bleed they can esuna.

You can see his tombstone out in the field in Coerthas to pay your respects.
Tell everyone to not be bad, criticize the tank(s) too for being lazy.
It's a very easy fight if you have a decent group that understands their class role. Unfortunately, for some reason that particular duty I would always get a bad group in.
I didn't even notice the bleed. Does that come from attacking the Gungnirs? I'm amazed that it's so hard to tell people to kill them, when everyone must have done Ifrit, which is similar.
Yeah there's one bleed caused by the gungirs that effects everyone which you can't esuna, which disappears when the gungirs are killed. There's a second bleed caused by a different attack (not sure what this one is) which the healers can esuna. Anyone with both of these bleeds on for any amount of time is gonna go down pretty quick. I think dps tend to tunnel on Odin on this fight cause they are nervous about Zantetsuken.
Which is funny because even when it released, the DPS check wasn't even close*
*Disclaimer: For DPS that have any idea what their rotation is so YMMV in DF.
Good advice, thanks. That may have been what was killing some people.
Or are at least halfway trying. Since going DRG I've come to realize 'not enough DPS' is the most recurring problem in PUGs.

Check this out. If you want to become a blackmage, lecel up the thaumaturg to level 30 with your character.
I ran Alex T1 first thing Tuesday morning and we beat the enrage by mere milliseconds (and only with an melee LB3). Looked at the meter and I was the highest DPS over a MNK and DRG and BRD. And it was not a close race at all.
SMN is top tier now. They are doing better than all melee except DRG.

...like, for real? Things have changed! Gonna dust off my SMN then.
I believe it.
I told this DRG that HT must be on 24/7...and he told that I don't know how to play a DPS since using HT would break his higher potency combo...
Plus you get to hit things with megaflare and your lb3 is terraflare. So, have fun!
Sadly, if you aren't asleep at the switch, you're better than at least half the DPS out there, possibly more. I hate to sound negative, I really do, but there is a certain segment of the playerbase that is just mindboggling.
Well, to be fair, this may be the same segment that treat this game like a single player game. If you're not interacting with other players more than you have to, you're probably not picking up on ways to play your class more effectively. Granted, that's mere supposition on my part.

Maybe it's just me then. Stance dancing with Clerics I don't mind. I think I just hate having to place any AoE marker.
He he. Gonna reroll as a lalafell gardener. All bets are off.

Alex prototype gear is pretty damn ugly.
Being a Tank in Heavensward with all the DPS checks in the dungeons makes me feel so powerless.
People just do not comprehend how to do good DPS, I have no clue why, maybe adding in an actual DPS meter would help, but man, its so frustrating being level gated, having to do
70 times and half those runs having DPS that fails to do the simplest things.
The worst is when you tell them in the nicest way possible to do their proper rotation and tips on how to play their class, and they get super mad at me. Like why are you getting mad, I'm trying to make you better at the game
Also, for anyone who's lvld multiple classes to 60, what's the best way to level an alt class to 60 in this expac

If I ever switch to lala of my own free will (I don't think I'd ever risk a fantasia bet but I mean, I could be swayed, maybe at the chance of turning Drama into a cat girl), then please send a hit squad to take me out.

Roulettes and highest available dungeons. FATEs in new areas yield crap xp for effort given to complete.
Hello all, just wondering if anyone has a good site for learning to heal as a whm or in general? I just did brayflox longstop (story) and that was a wake up call for me. I struggled with healing the tank and switching to dps to heal when things were going south. We only wiped once at the last boss, but i feel I need to learn more before heading into other dungeons if they are anything like brayflox. FYI I have virus/swiftcast/eye for eye as some guides I read suggest I get.
My main problem with healing is what to do at certain situations? for example the last boss of brayflox, everyone was spread around due to poison pool, had poison debuff, was at half health. I tried swiftcasting the tank with a cure2, but messed that up by accidently healing myself =/
So share your tips/sites with me pls,thx

Could also do the 10 allowance leves I suppose. Never tried them though. Unsure if thats an efficient way to get xp.
They're worse than just doing 10 individual leves (hell, ~3 leves beat them).
Really no reason to use them as of right now.
Blow everything you have with a bonus to get to 51. Challenge log, roulettes, hunts, whatever. It's the worst part. Dungeon spam through the odd levels--you get a chain bonus in dungeons when you match the level that bumps up the experience you get per-run a little, so you want to maximize your level-matches runs. When you hit even levels, blow your roulettes and hunts for the day to cut down on the number of dungeon runs needed. Then just dungeon spam through it. You can knock out a couple of levels per day pretty easily this way; if you're going to marathon and try to get through two even levels in a day, save the bonus stuff for the second one.
Above has kind of made level grinding fun. You get a new dungeon every odd level, and a new skill to change up how you handle the old dungeon on the even. Aery is probably the worst dungeon of the leveling process for me.
Maybe true for Gathering (and maybe Battle?) but the crafting ones are strictly inferior. Same items needed except more ... that you could turn-in for the normal one for better rewards.
Ah I've never used them for crafting so I can see your point. For me with gathering it's like, I'm not gonna use all the allowances they give me anyways so rather than sit at 100 and have them wasted might as well burn a quick 10. Especially if you can get an evaluation temple leve for gathering, the exp is good.
Also related pro tip for gatherers: don't forget to keep doing your GC turnin every day! If it's starred, turning in 10 hq items can net 1mil+ exp.
