Think Tonberry is unofficial oceanic server, which one are you on?
On lodestone on their website you can log in and search for Free Companies based on different criterias, really useful!
Oh, sweet! I'm currently on the Odin server. I'll give the lodestone a look, just really feel like getting into a nice community for once with an MMO.

So, pretty much right after hitting 60 I broke my right hand...and Im right handed.. Is there anything I can do 1 handed besides leveling gathering jobs? lol

60's PLD have much more thing to look after than 50's
Only if you're trying to be an overachiever.

Because healers and tanks have an inseparable bond that cannot be broken that DPS players simply can't understand. <3
You have to be on that crossbar set before you go into your menu. You can change the current crossbar set with right bumper and whichever button the set corresponds with (1-8).
for sure <3
Watch out, whenever people bring up the lack of content at 60, feathers are ruffled and people start talking about how 50-60 should take three whole months and not have been finished during early access, or something.
I haven't seen that be brought up at all.
Probably a silly question but does the gaf free company have a house?
I kinda really want to change my Chocobo's colour and you need to use a stable thing to do it, yes? I'm not sure how it works. Suppose I'd have to change servers before doing that though... hmm. I wish it were easier! Decisions decisions.

We do, though I can't imagine it too hard to join up some random big FC with a house and stable on your server.
what why are you awake
I was being hyperbolic, the sentiment I've seen was "but have you leveled every class? u cant be bored yet!
oh hey...

Leveling isn't content, but I'm so busy leveling I don't get to the content.
That's true. I thought about it. I've only been invited into role playing FCs (which I'm not interested in) and I wouldn't want to seem rude by joining one, using their things and then leaving. I'm kinda interested in joining one permanently so the gaf one would be nice, maybe.
Anyone know how much it costs to transfer servers anyway?
$18.
You could always roleplay as some wandering hobo who needs a place for him and his chocobo to spend the night before journeying off to Ishgard.
Soon!

There, there. You'll feel much better when you hit 50.
(As long as you do the patch dungeons and stuff.)
But is that confirmed? AF2 being the Esoterics gear? I thought it was just speculation.

I'm not sure how this esoteric set will fit in. Alex just came out so no one is full 190, and now this tome stuff will be auto-200? I guess the upgrade item for 210 might be gated behind Alex savage? If there's going to be an i200 tome weap though should I really keep farming Ravana?

Uh, if they waited any longer that would be sorta bullshit. In 2.0 the myth AF gear was tome gear. No reason why AF2 wouldn't be esoterics.

Use those inferior NPC items, upton entering the instance change back to the items with less ilvl that are better

looking at official boards.....things sure turned into a shitfest on the tanking side (now general board) once the mainstream discovered strenght.
i wonder when SE decides to take that option for different builds away.

Well, I'm bored since got burned by playing a lot these last months. Gotta take a break soon.
Not questioning if its possible for AF gear to be tome gear or not. Just asking if it was confirmed, anything is possible.

This topic is relevant to my interests! Especially after this weekend where I farmed Alex/Bis(lul)/Rav as a full STR DRK with 13k hp. Here's a post from that general thread:
I cringe every time I see a DRK with 13k HP in A4. Of course two orbs instakill him before healers could react. Of course we wipe. Of course he wastes our time.
Strength tanks are egoists who don't understand the simple concept of soaking damage where only HP matters. Will their 'extra dps' help us to finish the trial faster? Of course not. But extra HP surely can.
I'm always the OT in A4 so I'm on orbs. I grab 4-5 absolutely no problem every time with 13k hp. It's about spacing out the orbs and using proper cds. So this really has nothing to do with hp, just gitting gud.
Still, I'm questioning whether STR is that big of a deal for DRK at this point. When everything is perfect I'm in 5-600dps range. Usually I'm 2-300 above the main tank, but they're all fending. Every once in a while I feel the sting from not having an extra 4k, but I also never am the main tank. I don't know..

My only opinion on the STR/VIT debate is that Clemency and Divine Veil should scale off the same stat and stop confusing me, and that cover should scale off the same stat somehow and block magic damage so I can chase confused healers running away from me shouting 'NO IT'S A GOOD TETHER PLEASE COME BACK I WON'T HURT YOU' in 100% more dungeons.
Maybe soon the mainstream will discover that you need to have a certain HP threshold for the encounter, then who cares.
HP only really matters if you're going to main tanking, then you want enough to help your healers keep you alive. Going full fending with the shit stat spreads they usually put on them is just silly most of the time.
I doubt they're going to take that ability away because Warrior at the very least really benefits from having slaying accessories on if they're going to MT. Dark Knight as well.
It's pretty simple and boring, if that's what you mean.
If you're going to tank endgame content, get both sets of accessories (or melded accs) and adapt to whatever content you're running and/or whoever you're running with. It doesn't have to be all or nothing.

Yeah, I have the 170 fending stuff.. I just haven't been able to keep farming seals to upgrade them all. And every single run I do, pf or df, I am always matched with a tank that has full fending. I am always the only full str tank. Sometimes I'm like.. wtf.. real life is totally different than what reddit says! Everyone is fending!
It's confirmed.
Tanks never grab the second Jagd. Someone always has a shitty connection. DPS is often slow. Tanks are usually in texting mode and think they can bullshit the fight by standing in place. And yeah it's boring too.
A2 is horrible.
Reddit also has that weird fixation with "all STR all the time! Tank stance is for the weak!" that doesn't always benefit every party. As awesome as the WAR I got yesterday was during bosses, I didn't enjoy tanking 70% of the trash on my MNK because lolDefiancewhoneedsthat. Good players should be smarter than that.

I see all those stories, and I guess I can I never experience it because.. I'm always the tank. I don't play anything else lol. But wars not using defiance, drks not using darkside. Does that really happen? I mean, on my end, it's usually geared dps barely breaking 500 dps. I don't play dps though so I don't know how hard it is to hit something 5-600 as a dps. Shouldn't average be like 700? I was with a gaf drg yesterday doing 1k on A4 every run. The difference between them and the rest of the group was night and day.
