idk you could be melee, die to mechanics and get carried through content. I feel like that's a win win scenario

Wow, the stories of dfing A8 are all true. It is just a huge clusterfuck in there and nobody likes to stack for whatever reason. I had to explain the whole fight to one party. I ended up getting 6 comms for it (well deserved) as these people couldn't stack, lol. I'm glad I got my loot last minute.... but it was frustrating. I dunno.... you would think a mark means get together and not stay at the end of the room, xD.
First Zu Horn came in today.
Hopefully they come in fast cause the waiting list is getting long.

When leveling MCH, I was incredibly frustrated with it. I hated it a whole lot and thought BRD was significantly more comfortable to play (mostly for the reasons you say!) and by that point I think I was clearing A3S on it so getting my MCH on was a bit begrudging and basically "raid leader told me it would be better for A4S so I'm doing it".
And it was only a few weeks before 3.2 that MCH finally clicked with me and from that point on I kept moving towards it and away from BRD to the point where I actually do consider BRD to be a clunkier, more involved class. Having to set AOE up is annoying (and what if RoD doesn't want to proc anyway), watching priority cooldowns is annoying and it even feels harder approaching the same numbers as on MCH, doubly so after the patch 3.2.
So basically what I'm trying to say, jobs in XIV tend to be technical and frequently before you clock a lot of experience on them you'll feel under-performing and possibly even frustrated if you look at your parse, but it goes away with practice. NIN is the same for me, it just feels so awkward right now, but I know that it's just from the lack of experience. Can't get enough of MCH!
As for AOE, it's fully sufficient provided the other DPS isn't picking their nose. What are you gonna do with all those TP anyway? Seeing numbers over 3000 from just spamming one button? Way cool.

So the patch did come as a small boon to MCH then? That's good to know. Another thing I wanted to point out is how good some of their lore pieces are compared to the esoteric pieces. Many pieces sported Crit + Det on them, even the weapon I believe. (More than my MNK anyway).
Maybe I could gear MCH since it's my only other 60 and give it another go. I'll be building lots of esoteric this week since it's reset day, I do void ark almost daily so I can get it to i209 pretty quick.
Thanks for the tip.
By the time the next relic step is here, I'm sure poverty upgrade items will be out in the wild.

I'd imagine the next tier if Void Ark will give us the weekly trade in for lore upgrade items except for weapons.
I think the next relic step was planned for 3.25? So I'd guess that patch'll take relic to i230 or i235 at the outside. i240 step to hit with poverty lore armor upgrades in 3.3, i245 to hit alongside Void Ark Gobdip in 3.35. The lack of a step released alongside 3.2 makes it kind of weird again.
Also today marks world first groups getting 3 i240 weapons, which should maybe hopefully bring about the death of Savage Brute Justice, unless there's another HP wall or something.
Really curious to see how this tier is designed to bend/break with gear. There's a lot of 6 that at i220-ish is heavily reminiscent of A3S (did you like A3S adds phase? Good news!), but there's a lot of other stuff that changes if you can just DPS a little faster which week 7 should give everyone in the form of time weapons.

When was the last time a relic step actually lined up with a main patch?
I should probably have gone with 3.28 in place 3.3; it's mostly that I don't expect a leap from i210 to i240 in 3.25 itself.
I don't expect relic to touch i240 until after 3.3. 3.25 or .28 depending on how late they are will be ilvl230 if I had to bet.
got 16k MGP right now .
by the time i got enough to get fenrir , the servers will have shut down even with the cactpot

Maybe this is a stupid question but I noticed some void ark blm pieces have better stats like spell speed when compared to the eso pieces for blm. Does this really matter? I'm i207 atm on blm and was wondering if I should just 210 it regardless of stats.
Did you only start doing cactpots the past week or something? The mini pot every day adds up to a ton of MGP over time. Just doing AI matches for TT tournament participation bonus is good too. After that you'll have to actually grind for it if you want to make decent head way quickly. Outside of winning the jumbo it will never be fast.got 16k MGP right now .

Fenrir sucks anyway. No fly no buy.

I still struggle to beat the Seph Ex dummy on my Bard at i207. It's either I clear JUST as time runs out, or I'm 1-3% short. Even after those rotation suggestions you guys made a while back. Plus for some reason it was worse while using an i210 Eso weapon, so I went back to my Thordan one. Dunno what's up there. Maybe the crit difference?
Guess it doesn't matter too much as I main heal, but eh. Kinda wish it wasn't so tight. Would give me more options for PF parties.

i do the mini pot for a few weeks now but usually my card sucks . today i won 3.600 mgp
don't have acces to the jumbo one though .
Berimbau pretty much became obsolete when Thordan hit because it's strictly worse by around 3 DEX if you weight it all out. One point of crit is worth around 1.75 points of any other secondary for Bard, which is a huge difference, and since no WD gain from 205 to 210 crit's power overtakes all.
I would say as long as your BRD damage doesn't collapse if you have to move (and the dummy can't test this for anyone) you're probably safe to PF Seph EX on bard. The fight's DPS check is actually fairly laid back and more about just doing the mechanics than raw numbers. You're more likely to hit enrage because people keep dying than because DPS is low if everyone's half competent.
Provided you aren't like me and haven't seen a single card with any of the decent payouts even possible for the past 2 weeks. I haven't even seen a card with a possible 1,080 MGP on it. ;_;

Darkness no more
Did DR Leveling today. The tank would run into the mobs, pause for about 10 seconds, then choose one (and only one) to attack. By then all the mobs were beating on me because I was healing. The DPS were all randomly attacking different targets. I ended up tanking the whole instance and just healing myself because no one would reply to anything in chat. Does hall of the novice teach basic tanking and target assisting?

It does a decent job with DPS and Tanking, telling Gladiators to use flash and pick up adds. It also tell the DPS how to focus targets and when to switch.
HON does teach you the core basics of tanking ,how to gain enmity on a single target and on a group it also teaches you to use skills like shield lob to pull enemies .
from what i experienced in all the dungeons i did up until now is that DPS on my server do know to focus on a single target unless they can Aoe burst them down .
Colors are hard (judging from static runs and watching other statics run, I'm only half joking)
I wish it was a case of colours are hard and not "Muh Deeps Noooooo".
Left and right is harder.
I just upgraded my monk to 204 and failed with about 8% left on it? I'm still using the Hive Claws and 185 pants, so I figure if those two pieces get upgrades it should be pretty doable.
stupid question, is there a primer on raiding in mmo's, specifically ff14? I just got to the main story quest "operation archon" and a little weary of just jumping in and going at it. I seen a video on it, but i never raided in an mmo and just want to gain some knowledge before I queue for it. I will be using my whm fyi and I understand this is supposed to be an easy entry lvl raid, but knowledge is power!
thanks

We couldn't do the Mario Kart method for T9 meteors because of a disagreement over which way was clockwise and which way was anticlockwise.
It's probably because someone used the term "anticlockwise"
Don't even worry about it man, because people are so ridiculously overgeared for it the battle will be over in less than 3 minutes before you even know what's going on. Everyone else in there will most likely be higher level players running it for their daily trials roulette. But, it's good that you want to be prepared and honestly watching a video is more than most people do.
What is this "anti clockwise" you speak of?

The thing that drives me crazy is the personal chocobo music isn't anywhere near as good as the chocoporter music. :/
