Thanks for the feedback and especially for keeping it spoiler-free. The part about reworking the character to sound more vague sounds like a good question to ask Koji.
I'm still in the earliest parts of the game but I've been impressed with the quality of the writing and the amount of effort put into even the most insignificant fetch quests.
I'm not biased though. If I see something later that changes my opinion of the work, then I won't be shy about it, bit so far it's really solid.
The dialect work is quite good and doesn't sound forced at all. You can't please everyone. lol

Was rolling for days after that one.
I just did Wanderer's Palace hard again.
FUCK THE GNATH BEAST TRIBE QUESTS WHERE MY TONBERRY BEAST TRIBE QUESTS AT
also hopefully rid the world of one more lol drg by helping him and explaining how to play the class and that the secret is to not animation lock yourself into aoes.
i don't care about the puns at all, they make me chuckle, there's just some baffling decisions made in regards to certain things, like the haurchefant decision they made early in development and then the discrepancy that inevitably resulted

A new player asked about this a few months ago, here is my post with my layout. The AS4 video of our first clear shows it in action better, works really well for me. I tend to heavily mirror similar skill locations across classes too so it's easier to remember/pick up after switching jobs, like the stun for all my melee go in that same spot.
The PvP stuff is admittedly awkward to get used to but I am not sure of a better alternative accounting for their skills on controller.
He(I think it was him, if not then someone on the team) has explained their reasoning before on the cryptic change (this is separate from the personality change I mentioned). People just weren't fans of it. It's a little bit spoilerly, so after you finish the 2.x patch content stuff you can look it up on the official forums I'm sure.

Anybody know or have a spare copy of base FFXIV pc version for cheap?
There was that humble bundle thing not too long ago...
I think CMagus (his avatar was a slime) was trying to get rid of copies for referrals.

ah thanks. Yeah I manage to get one for my friend
=O sorry saw this late. My friend got it from another gaffer for 10 lol
How does Lancer/Dragoon work? I'm only level... 11, right now. Haha. But I'm not seeing a clear rotation or anything yet. Maybe I missed something. Like I see the combo: True Thrust > Vorpal Thrust > Full Thrust (level 26)
But when do I use Impulse Drive? What about Heavy Thrust? They're on the GCD so it's confused me. This is my first melee DPS class
...
Oh wait. Heavy Thrust increases my damage for 12s? So I should weave that in every few 'combos' then, I suppose. Still not sure about the other though

Impulse Drive doesn't get its combo until Disembowel and Chaos Thrust.
2 Impulse Drives (180 + 180 potency) does more damage than True Thrust > Vorpal Thrust (150 + 200 potency) so you basically spam ID until you get the 3rd ability in the Thrust combo. Keep Heavy Thrust up at all times (refresh it just as it's about to drop off) and try not to fall asleep as you grind your way towards level 26.
But isn't personally managing all this what constitutes playing the game? Seems weird to want to strip all this out of the gameplay and hand it over to an addon.
Use Piercing Talon and marvel at how great it feels to toss a spear at something.
grind more fates . thatll do it .

finally someone realises best migration is not getting hit at all.
People will always take the path of least resistance, I'm not sure why you're surprised.
How dare you mock mighty feather foot.
Srs, is the benefits of featherfoot ever even noticed on any class?
It's decent for huge trash pulls in 4mans. That's pretty much it, PvE wise. Raid bosses can't be dodged anymore, and they stopped making the mid-tier trials like primals dodgeable as well after a certain point too. In the long long ago, before they decided to give WAR infinite TP and NIN's existed, I remember some WAR's used it along with Haymaker as a makeshift Shield Swipe since it was a net TP gain and didn't break combo. But even that was pretty rare (and that combo got helped by the fact Awareness was bad since it disabled healing crits too, what else were you going to slot?)
Still good for PvP I guess.
It's not that I'm surprised people would use it, just pondering the merits of it really.
Oh yeah I remember you posting those before, my bad. I just hadn't leveled DRK yet then so I figured I'd just swap shit out and make em like my WAR/PLD bars. Doesn't work as well with DRK, I've found. I try to keep stuff consistent too but I find it hard to draw parallels with dark knight for some reason. Thanks for digging this up for me, though.

Now that level 50 BRD set I'm wondering if I should upgrade my jewelry to match? Most of it is mismatch stuff I picked from the main story quests, side quests and levemetes, between level 25 to 40.
It's lack of knowledge and the adamant refusal to acknowledge it that makes a bad player/asshole.

Guy was decked out in raid gear and savage drops. :V
You can buy some decent stuff from the vendors.
Okay, that's odd.

Thanks. I'll look around. 🙂
Some people find enjoyment in different things? I don't know, I think some people just want to push buttons and do fights without lots of micro management. I agree with your general sentiment about it stripping away part of what makes the game what it is, but it's not really weird to me either. Not much of a merit in it, or a demerit, it just is.
I think the hardest part for DRK is finding a setup that keeps Dark Arts, and the rest of your oGCDs, in a good spot for rhythm purposes. Especially DA since you use it so so much. The rest of the stuff has a pretty strong correlation to the rest of the tanks kits.
There's being ignorant from lack of knowledge, and then there's just being an idiot even with said knowledge. Dude knew he couldn't keep aggro, knew what provoke did, and refused to use it because reasons. Not sure how you can defend that.

Here's my setup as well if it helps:

(Living Dead is on the third palette along with Limit Break)
Got that Void Ark Hat of Healing today, Thing is freaking stylin'. Has a glowey end to it and everything.
Makes up for the two implosion groups that I had today. Get up to the next to last boss and everyone just drops. Of course, I don't blame people for it as other party members were rolling straight in without ready checks followed by a Bard just rushing lone wolf in while everyone is discussing stuff.
It's good to see the spirit of Leeroy Jenkins is still alive.

What are you guys looking for most in 3.2 that HASN'T been officially announced yet? Like, things that you would put on your 3.2 wishlist.
For me personally I hope there's big fishing, new glamour items from fish desynth, and challenge achievements like WoW had. And for the love of god, please, achievements for doing stuff with Min IL option...
