woot only a month in the game and full 190 gear minus weapon. Got lucky and got 2 void ark pieces. Now to decide if I want to do the relic to ilvl 200.... or wait lol
Not BnS so we don't have to cover anything up for the American release!
Wouldn't surprise me, though that weekend was a bit of a blur. Lots of faces to take in and all that.

Probably not a big deal since no one plays at this hour but yeah.

Ultros GAF. I'm part of a newly formed static that I got sort of roped into awhile ago. Long story short XIV is boring as hell to me right now and I wanna quit playing. I however don't want to be "that guy" who just takes up and leaves.
Id like to find a replacement for myself before I hang up my Staff. So if there are any casters (BLM,SMN) looking to get into a group before 3.2 and Midas hits PM me and I can get you in contact with the raid lead and our discord server.

The name of this patch was "Return of the Waifu" right?
Lisa is coming back so yes.
Just learned that tanks will be using the VIT stat as their primary stat starting in 3.2. Does this mean a damage nerf for WAR? Ugh. My WAR is geared with mostly strength accessories. It's as if they're taking away the one bit of customization that the game permits - DPS WAR or Tank WAR.
I'm not happy about this

I think they're giving VIT some kind of damage modifier as well.

Nobody actually knows what is going to happen to tank damage. We do know the stat change is largely motivated by the tank accessory situation being fundamentally unfair to tanks--fending accessories were borderline useless day one, everyone would fight over slaying accessories, and expensive melds were generally an expectation for 'serious' tanks. Changing damage to scale to VIT more than STR will let tanks use tank accessories safely. Nobody's privy to how the math will work out, but there's no reason to assume pushing DPS won't be possible anymore.
Hmm. Thanks for talking me off the ledge. I guess we'll see what the change really means.
Either way I now have to grind tomes for new i200 VIT accessories

You're going to be grinding for all new i220 or 230 gear anyway.

Hmm, not saying pushing dps won't be possible and correct me if I'm missing something but if both Str and Vit will affect damage wouldn't that mean that tank dps will inevitably go down because accessories don't have both stas? It could be minor if Str weights really low or if Str+Vit>Current Str, but I doubt it.
I'm pretty sure the idea is to make STR near useless for tanks with VIT picking up all of that slack. They don't want this to be a nerf or a buff just a straight use VIT instead of STR. How it'll work in practice is a "who knows" though because SE.

Depends what you mean by medium. Rogue, Archer and Pugilist use Weaver, Leatherworker and Goldsmith stuff mainly (with leatherworker also making some Pugilist weapons), with a small scattering of some Armourer reciples.
Minfilia does nothing for me. She also has a pitiful amount of fan art compared to Y'shtola and PC Mi'qotes and lalafells.
I think the Heavens Ward Elezens have more fanart than Minfilia.

I hope those AST changes involve shorter CDs on cards and a extended range of their AoE healing spells.
the leather amor is the one that gives bonuses to dex, so I always use that kind of armor. For my Rogue anyway.
It will depend how much it weights, yeah, assuming it's some combo of the two to equal 1 attack power.
current gear stats, full str acc: +779 str +576 vit .5 share (389.5 288 677 AP) .7 (233.7 403.2 636.9)
current gear stats, full vit acc: 544 str 821 vit .5 (272 410.5 682.5) .7 (163.2 574.7 737.9) with level 60 +35 vit food be 599.2 or 762.4 AP .8 (108.8 656.8 765.6) food be 684.8 or 793.6
So a 80-90 point loss in vit gear from current 779 full str AP if they just half it on both, though you still beat out full STR post-change and from there the higher the vit weight goes the better it gets, actually beating out old STR gear at 80% vit 20% STR. Food actually giving a main stat damage boost is nice.
If they don't make it a shared amount just to equal 1 AP it gets more interesting, as even .6 AP each is an immediate improvement over old gear, at 819 ap in full vit. .6 vit and .5 str would put you just over old gear with food at 785.6. .55 each and it's 770 with food. Now I kind of want them to do a combo like that, closer to the .6 each simply because we will see some overall loss due to secondary stats being better on STR gear.
or they could fix parry
If you want to craft efficiently, or even touch the highest level stuff at cap, you will need to level pretty much all of them at some point due to cross class skills. There's no traditional system where certain classes all only wearing a type from one crafter either, leatherworker even makes some heavy armor tank stuff
You know better than to post scans.
Oh, Gaf has that thing about it. I honestly forgot since nobody else is anal about this.
Oh well, my bad!
Lightning actually does stuff though.
I can't believe I'm about to say this but: That's an insult to Lightning.
Y'know I don't really care for any of these goobers as far as I'm concerned it's just me and Alfie saving the realm while these bastards just show up to give me pointless errands.
Since we're here and there's nothing to talk about anyway (ohohoho). Can you explain to me like I'm five why GAF doesn't allow scans?
Also, Frumix should have gotten out his mspaint skills.
something something copyright laws. something something money

Most hyped: Samurai, not so much that it might be a DPS but due to the fact that I never got to enjoy rocking one back in XI during the height of its usefulness and popularity so it a way it's something to look forward to. Combat wise I hope they make it where you can do skill chains by pressing the right sequences of weaponskills to optimize DPS while managing TP.
Like instead of positionals, you have to memorize a constant stream of weaponskill combinations to unleash skill chains (think bonus damage) every other time otherwise if you just spam the same one (or random) it'll hamper your DPS and you'll drain TP much faster. And after say, three successful skill chains you get a proc that will restore a small chunk of TP to keep you going a bit longer.
Least Hyped: Samurai... if they somehow screw it up or make it a tank. I don't want another Machinist mess where there's too much upkeep(or buttons to keep pressing) but average bards can do better than you and suddenly you get kicked from dungeons because people want to speed run. It's fine to give us dots, but don't make it to where it's a bit TOO technical.
They are just trying to build a community.
Hasn't YoshiP already heavily implied it will be a tank? Something about it being the tank job for HW but they used DRK instead because they didn't want to do another Eastern class so soon to NIN?
Also tanks are the best, everything should be a tank.

I'm just waiting for minfillia to star in a loui vuitton ad. She's the true goddess
I want it to be tank because
it has the chance to be the first tank based around active mitigation, like a ton of skills around counterattacking and playing off what the boss is doing (or just about to do). I just want some active roles in my tanking rather than just more DPS but presses tank cooldown every minute or so.
tanks are the best
Get out.
You go with him
To make all ranged eat their shoes with jealousy it shall be an INT melee caster with no castbars.
So...a melee with different main stat?
I'm guessing most ranged wouldn't care. If you wanted to mess with them you'd make it a ranged with no cast bars. Maybe nerf their damage though so it's not too OP, they could be support based. If it doesn't work out just give them a skill in 5.0 that adds cast bar to all their skills and makes them stand in place. I'm sure no one would mind.
I think my brain got a cramp from trying to decode this.
