PLDs don't get shield oath till 40. so haukke manor, brayflox, cutters cry and sunken temple PLDs won't have shield oath. they should turn on sword oath though.

This is a dress not a robe.
I forgot about that. Generally speaking though, PLDs should be hardier than WAR, so I think it's unlikely randomrusso's problem tank was a PLD.

I have a few questions: I'm currently level 25 rogue. Is there any reason to keep leveling it or should I just make a ninja immediately?
Also should I be worried about getting skills from other classes ie lancer and pugilist?

Hmm. Do you run into a lot of DPS that push eating attacks to do more damage? My goal is to avoid eating anything if possible even if it screws up my rotation. It's just habit now.
Your rogue is the class that gains exp. You can equip the ninja job after meeting the requirements and completing the quest (lvl 30 rogue and lvl 15 pugilist).
You should get some cross class skills from those classes at some point, yeah. Invigorate and Blood for Blood from lancer.

They're our FC house Bouncers gotta look intimidating.
I would argue that PLD is the weakest tank in the 30-40 level range and WARs being the strongest (can't speak too much for DRK). PLDs have more cool downs sure but enmity can be an issue as well as 15% more damage taken than other tanks without cool downs (shields give more defense not sure if 5% just guessing) not to mention WARs get healing bonus as well from defiance
But I'll agree it shouldn't be too much of an issue, if anything the tank was just poorly geared or not geared at all.
At 30 you switch to Ninja. You level both anyways.
Blood for Blood and Invigorate from Lancer, and Internal Release from Pugilist are a must.
Cross class skills are a must.

Ok, I just want better AA. I don't care about anything else.
Unfortunately that is the one thing which is kinda not possible in the FFXIV client. Forcing MSAA is possible on the DX9 client but causes lots of rendering errors. You can use DSR but the game's UI scaling is literally from 1997 and past about 1440p or so, it can't get any bigger and at 4K it becomes small enough to require a telescope to read it. This is why I can't play FFXIV in 4K on my 4K TV even though I finally have a video card that could push that resolution halfway decently.
Enjoy your FXAA overlords.

I'm trying to get some friends into the game, and I was wondering how to get the most bang for their buck. If you do the full free trial period, and then buy the game, do you still get that first 30 days free?
I've run into issues with the DX11 client crashing on alt-tabbing and freezing at random. Doesn't happen often, but it almost never happens on the DX9 client.
Haven't been too pleased with my experience with the DX11 client in general. Them floors be shiny though.

If you're only running in 1080p, just get a GTX 970 for like $300 and be done with it.
I am yeah. Monitors only go up to 1080p anyway.
Finally.
Why are you like this
Pls mercy
It's nothing but kupo.
Yeah. Also make sure to throw recruit-a-friend codes their way too before they pay for a sub.

The LE version has stock 970 clocks but the MSI Twin Frozr V heatsink so you can OC it yourself if you want. It's $299 in cart with free Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain,
If you want to cough up an extra 20 bucks and get a factory OC get this one:

How far are you from 210 days subbed?!

I've spent the entire day healing the 60 dungeons to get my SCH law set from scratch, and I did it. I've learned a lot! Like, there are a lot of really squishy tanks out there, and Paladins are totally my tank of choice.
So...I'm like, ilvl 168 atm. Can I go do Alexander normal? The Alex chest looks really pretty.

They look so ugly and low poly tho.

It doesn't make sense to me a lot either and I'm in the fc.
Thanks, I'll probably get this then since it's been a bit.
That's weird. With my shitty GTX 460, DX11 runs slightly better than DX9.

This. I had a 970 and it was just about perfect at 1440p. I exchanged it for a 980 Ti to be perfect but it would have been fine at 1080p.

Found out the reason I have had glitchy nameplates since 3.0 launch is because I'm running Crossfire AMD cards.
Just putting that out there in case anyone else is having that problem (though I doubt it as that's an uber minority it seems). There's yet to be any fix on either SE or AMD's side. It's not a big deal, but it can be annoying in things like PVP where people will have nameplates of enemies, or enemies have ally nameplates.

As a fresh 50 what should I do? Apart from finishing MSQ
Someone said you should be ilvl 115+ to go to Heavensward?

You should, but you can buy ilvl 115 equipment in Ishgard.

I started recently and am sitting at 51 on my paladin, so reading this makes me happy. Reddit (which I can read at work, unlike GAF) makes paladins sound worthless and broken. I've also leveled conjurer to 20 something, and healing DRK was noticeably tougher than paladin. Could have just been a bad player.
I'll still try DRK next since they look cool, start at 30, and eventually I want both jobs maxed. Still, accounting for skill I don't want my paladin to feel like a poor option for end game tanking. I've grown to enjoy the play style.
I'm very unlikely to play warrior other than to gain a useful cross skill if they have any.
Whisper? You use shout chat in a city like Limsa, Idyllshire, or ask for it in fc chat. The tooltip will tell you what you need, it'll say something like "Materia Melding: Leatherworker lv 60".
Shout for what you need, when you find a person who can do it you right click them (Square button on ps3/ps4) and "Request Meld". You'll need 3 items for the meld; the item you want to meld, the materia, and a "Grade X Carbonized Matter" (Grade 1 for I materia, Grade 2 for II materia, etc...).
Anyone doing melds should be able to overmeld, it's a low lv sidequest. If you're unsure about tipping ask the person before you start. If you need several overmelds tip cause it takes a while for overmelds to stick.

I don't have warrior experience, but aren't they supposed to be better at AOE threat than a paladin? Dark Knight threat also seems stronger than paladin.
I love my mitigation in the pre-60 dungeons I've run, but circle is on a decent cooldown and flash does zero damage. There's a decent amount of tab targeting at play on a paladin.
