Here are screenshot examples of what I was talking about - I have redundant items on macro crossbar (just for my muscle memory mistakes right now) that can be replaced with level 60 to 70 items or PVP actions.
Sheathed crossbar
Unsheathed crossbar
Macro crossbar
Extended crossbar
That's genius, love it. Will definitely reconfig to a sheathe/unsheathed hotbar setup. I mean, only currently use two full hotbars for any of my three 60 classes (ignoring PvP which I do on my PLD, muscle memory there), but it's an excellent idea for transferring companion/minion skills to a quicker-to-access bar, plus future skils that we'll get.
Bravo!
This game is so incredible.
It takes a bit of time but now's the time to change as controller will keep getting harder and harder to use each expansion.
Plus once you get the muscle memory down (I'm still working on it), it should improve your time to action.
Yep, that's prob the only reason I'm considering it. I just have enough space for all my skills with my current setup, no room for potions tho.
100% this. It's worth the small amount of extra effort to really get more out of your rotation.
I was never worried about DPS as a PLD, but playing as DRG I love nothing better than maxing my DPS contribution. This'll make that much easier.
Damn :lol Spent that time making a post to help people with crossbars and it was last post on the page.
If anyone wants ideas for crossbars, check the previous page
This is all super helpful! Thank you!

This reminds me I need to figure out something better for my crossbar when playing dps and pld.
There's no trouble when I'm playing healer except maybe Scholar but that is moreso due to pet management.

It's always the tanks on this fight. Was doing it today for 3-4 hours with the same group, we kept having to kick tanks that kept fucking up the swap during the snakes. We only got past that point like 3-4 times during the 4 hours.
Hi guys, I am recently new to FFXIV, I played the XI long time ago and now when I have the time I play XIV.
I play on the Ragnarok server.
But I have a question, I use the ps3 game, some of my friends have said to me that this could be a problem in the doungeon boss fights (titan and so on) due to the lag and the 30 fps, is this legit?
I am asking because I really like the game, I have paid it like nothing but the idea that I can't fully "enjoy" the game itself due to this problems would prevent me to pay monthly, so I don't know what to do.
(ps4/pc gaming is out of the picture due to the fact that I don't have the big moneyz )

Have 3 Atherflow saved up. Whm focuses healing the tanks soon as you are done dodging resin bombs.
Once tanks have both Oppressors in place queue up Emergency Tactics (You need to do it early so it's off cooldown later) -> After first aoe Succor - > Soon as emergency deployment is mid cast Rouse/Whispering Dawn -> Dodge Resin bomb -> Soon as you dodge the laser precast Succor -> Big aoe hits Succor heals right after while prey targets get marked -> Adlo both Prey targets -> When Prey has 1 second left Start casting Adlo on the squishier target -> Physick the second target -> Lustrate the 1st -> Lustrate the second -> Use 3rd lustrate on a prey target that is still really low, or on a tank if needed, if not use it for an energy drain.
Heal/dps like normal after til next jump.
Repeat every landing.
Also make sure you are Adloing and deployment tactics every jump.
You can squeeze dps inbtween the first emergency tactics and dodging the resin but get down the healing part first and get comfy with it.
Even with that aoe healing and dpsing you should never really drop below half MP and with that patern of healing when targets get marked for prey they should already be near 90% HP.
If both tanks get marked for prey instead of physicking the second prey you need to adlo them.
We have a mansion in Mist Ward 1, we have a garden and a stockpile of items (you can reserve items by posting in the guildworks forum), we have a stable that's kept clean, 3 airships (working towards the 4th), and we'll soon have a lv 3 wheel stand/buffs.
As for triple triad players, there's several people who collect cards and participate in the tourny's. Don't really see them actively searching for people to play in fc chat though.
We also have the triple triad deck in the house if you want to play there.

Are there any regular GAF Savage runs? EX runs? Considering joining up because a friend and I are in need of a good bunch of folks to run that content with.
Oh ya. Just ask in the fc chat and you are bound to have a few people join. There are dedicated help nights too.
You guys are doing help nights for Alexander Savage? That's pretty crazy. We still barely get by A1S and A2S as a static.
I've seen a few BisEX and Ravana EX runs in the last couple of weeks. I'm sure it'll be more common once it becomes required content for the next EX.
As for Savage, no. People run it with their statics and it's still too fresh for anyone to bother doing runs with random fc members. It'll probably stay that way until they end the loot lockout for it.
Oh sorry. Everything but that probably. Lol.

I haven't played on the ps3 myself, but from what I've seen you should be fine for the most part. Best thing to do is hit a guild before you do any fight so you have a general idea of what you're getting into. Dunno what you play, but if you're really worried try them as dps. The low level dungeons are easy enough where you can "hide" a bit if you're being slightly laggy.

For alex 1 I think if the person you were helping was a tank or dps it would be pretty doable, but only 1 or 2 at a time so no item drops unless the others had plenty of exp already with it.
2 really good healers that are comfortable with the fight and people that know how to max out their dps are what's the true requirement to beat it.
The dark secret of A1S is once you've seen the first three minutes, you've seen the entire fight. It makes it pretty easy to run partial cleared groups through as long as the rest of the group has basically seen and survived a jump and everyone can more or less do their thing.
We've done a couple of frankengroups for single chest/pages, and they've gone pretty smoothly. No blind runs yet, but A1S legitimately seems to be the kind of thing you could get early experience with in PF and move on to a one-chest clear group pretty easily.
We rolled one into A2S just for the hell of it today and got up through wave 8 I think? in an hour. A2S is trickier in that you see all the bits and pieces up front and then the back half of the fight is just getting them thrown at you in new configurations, and the whole gob walker thing, but I think it should end up being doable with more time.

PS3 is pretty mediocre compared to PC/PS4, but playable- Dramatis still plays on PS3 and can do stuff perfectly fine; it's just in some big areas the game gets aggressive with culling player models (and you might wonder where the hell the lighting and textures went sometimes).
Play Asia just emailed me about a FFXIV Tonberry Lamp for pre-order. The price is $16.99, I grabbed one for that price. The image is the prototype image right now but it looks cool.

Is it ever explained why some Moogles are bite sized while others are super jumbo sized?
Nanomachines.
Asami don't hate me but I just got Zidane card in probably 40k total worth of MGP (20 or so packs)
Other people take a similar number of packs when trying to unlock Zidane? I have about 270k mgp and I don't know whether to keep saving for nanamo and cloud or do try foe Zidane.

I was mentioning to Asami as I think it takes like 100+ packs for other people
I will try this, thank you!

Zidane was the easy one, I got like 6-7 of him by the end. Warrior of Light was the one that had me buying a ton of gold packs.
Edit: Before you ask, yes, 40k is faster than I got it, I think my first Zidane was around 100k.
Tanks screwing up the Bis EX tank swap on snakes has been a thing since like the weekend of early access, though. Back when the minimum iLevel battle was raging over whether or not you really needed to be i160.
Now that everyone's hovering around i190 the rest of it has sorted itself out, but the tank swap is just as demanding I guess as day 1.

During Ravanas second phase in hard mode, where he targets the off tank with Prey, is it at all possible to avoid Suparnakha?
Normally I MT that fight, but on the occasion that I off tank I just take those to the face since they don't deal that much damage. But I've seen lots of off tanks try and dodge those attacks and I don't think it's possible.

As someone who has never tanked anything seriously, I kind of like that the swap is so hard. Swapping, in itself, is extremely easy but it serves as a good check to show which tanks have a good head on their shoulders and which tanks are just miserable.
Assuming prey can be passed in Hard Mode, the OT should probably throw it on the MT, or at least stand there and take the hits. You can't dodge them because he's targetting them at you. I mean, they'll totally murder your party if you want to troll the fight by running into the middle of the party with prey on you. That could be fun, I guess.
