Thank you.
Guess I'm coming into game this weekend.
Weird that there is two seasonal events on at once but not complaining
I feel better when they don't drop at all because whenever they do I always roll a low number. Highest I've gotten is in the 30's and I've seen a lot in the past few days.

Really good starter DRK guide for anyone thinking of giving the job a go. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Q1cr5udb-8
Hmm, I've come to the conclusion that MCH is 3.0's NIN mudra for me as far as lag goes. Rapid Fire gets screwed up because you'll be hitting buttons faster than ammo procs register so sometimes you'll be firing un-proc'd Slug/Clean Shots while keeping the proc'd shots. This sometimes happens even without RF up. And then there's still the usual GCD > oGCD > GCD lockup. Goes without saying this wrecks Wildfire damage badly.
Kind of contemplating swapping over to BRD since they don't seem as lag sensitive...maybe.

HW story is much better. this game will always throw fetch quests at you, but they handled it better in HW with less padding, you'll see. you can suffer in optional (fetch)sidequests.
post-launch 2.0 is indeed insufferable. it's a waste of time. i can see how people started to drop out there. only the last 20-30% period is good.
Pfft, dudes a noob. Every knows Dark Knights wear dark blue, purple, and blood red.
EDIT: Ok got a laugh out of the "fuckin soda pop" part.
About Paladin: When would be the best time to use Divine Veil during a fight?
Did The Whorleater (extreme) and Thornmarch (extreme) tonight. Went pretty well. Other healer in Thornmarch didn't have swiftcast so that was interesting. Someone tried to boot them just for saying they hadn't unlocked it o.0
I did attempt The Striking Tree (extreme) but we failed on that. Will have to try again tomorrow. I want to do unlock Shivia so I can get one of those diamond weapons (also, unrelated. Are there any i170+ one handed canes for WHM? I want to use one but it's only i70)

Yeah it's really bad but it does get a lot better. You just have to struggle through it unfortunately.
He he.
The correct response to "Why don't you have Swiftcast?" should be "Why are you expecting yourself to die?"
I'm only half-kidding.
This is when you get a little help from your friends.

You know, my time leveling MCH has made me realize something.
As much as I've seen discussion in this thread about healers who don't dps, I think it more important to teach healers first. HOW TO FREAKING HEAL. If the healer cannot healing just healing the party under mild duress or heavy constant damage then screw teaching them how to dps, that'll only result in everyone dying faster.
I main healer so I don't on the regular get to see what other healers are like, but my time as MCH has reminded me why a lot of healers don't heal and why I main healer. They clearly still don't have the basics of just healing down. Some many healer completely break down and panic the moment things get iffy or clearly don't know the times they should be AoE healing and just spot healing, or knowing that that in the last .5 second of healing they can move and the heal will still go off.
Was doing Stone Vigil and the WHM clearly still didn't have his skills down, never used Esuna on burns and paralyze, using Cure II instead of Cure I, would be AoE healing when only the tank was taking damage, would just tank damage from boss aoes in the last part of their heal spells when he could still move. We failed the last boss 5 times, before the tank complained once, healer got mad and left then another healer came in and did the same crap and he had been there before! And it wasn't just that run but multiple runs I've been doing and I just think to myself "How do healers get this far and still not know basics like this?"
I mean the first thing I learned when I got medica was to not spam it.

My time level MCH has made me realize I'm awful at dps and assuming the healer or the tank is good is a bad idea lol
When I get in as a healer even if the tank is bad usually I can deal with it and make it work. As a dps there's a lot less control over that.
I bet they make good money on fantasia sales.

Got a buddy who has fantasia'd at least 10 times.
Hell I admit to wasting a fantasia because I my character's skin color was just ever so slightly off.
Tiduz, Natashas and Darkness fantasia business is the sole reason SE hasn't gone out of business yet.
of course they do. 7€ a pop is crazy IMO
Not a big deal, it just bothered me how before they would get you one fantasia back with their 1 time recovery system but now they told you "nope, go buy one at the shop". Especially when it's already a paid MMO...
I wasted my free fantasia for that... and the tail size, but now I feel like its too long lol

Spend the money on a name change and go full lala instead.
Gross. I'll admit I like the look of the lala I made but no, gross. All the voices sucked and I still hate all lalas.

A self hating Lala is the only bad kind of Lala.
I'm not a lala, I'm a kawaii Au Ra girl trapped in a potato's body, it's like a bad anime.
I've only bought one fantasia. Get your lies out of here!
Au Ra are not cute.
Neither are cat boys.

Just completed 'You Have Selected Regicide', wtf...who comes up with this stuff?
We are handsome, there's a difference!

Catboys are the most disturbing of all races you could be. Something about them does not sit right with me.
Maybe its the fact you sit like you're taking a dump.
So very handsome and bishounen. My heart is aflutter.
I did over 200 Leviathans to get that damn horse if we count pre-nerf clears.

AST here and I literally never use it now because the nerf has made it one step over effectively useless.
Not gonna say you shouldn't have it, but on the same slice of the pie I never use it. I get why WHMs use it when applying it to the whole party, but most ASTs and SCH I see don't bother unless there is a lot of idling.
They're changing that in 3.1. Also spider-cat.
I did like 50 alone just for the damn bow, no idea how many it took for the pony.
I still don't have the Ifrit pony

My eyes nearly rolled out of my head when I did The Eyes Have It FATE and realized the boss and all the adds around it were all cyclopes.

No the King Moogle fight and the accompanying soundtrack which is part of that quest.

Leviathan is probably the worst ex primal to farm for ponies unsynced. Dps is so fast the reactor thing doesn't charge and it's a wipe every time. Unless you don't fucking breathe after killing the orbs it's over. At least all the other primals are face-smash easy now
