Pfft how else am I gonna get those precious few moments of afk time on the way to Whitebrim.
Also, teleporting to horizon and taking the porter to the soil gathering point is pro strats.

Yeah. I wish there was a way to swap it. Either in game or modding like you could in FFXI.

Are there any expert black mages here that have an "ideal" rotation to use? I've seen a couple of guides recommend to start with sharpcast fire. I've seen a couple of people use thunder over thunder III. I'm guessing it has a shorter cast time and they use the T3 proc. I'm asking because in stone sky sea I can't beat the seph ex dummy reliably but sometimes I will. It is weird and sometimes I just panic in my rotation.

Are you saying that if you were presented with 'clockwise' and 'anticlockwise' as two options, you wouldn't be able to tell what the difference was? :V
Yeah "anticlockwise" as in "I'm against the running clockwise strat, let's do pizza slices instead."

Why can't they just be normal and say reversecowgirlclockwise like normal people.
Counterclockwise too posh?
What is this insanity??
Next question: how's the discord ios app?

Qhon just a heads up, /tts is text to speech.
Pretty solid from my experience.
Discord iOS is excellent, as is the desktop client. The only dodgy thing is the browser client not making voice 100% clear. (it's a little crackly whenever anyone talks) And then obviously the mobile client also supports phone headsets.
Discord is the god amongst voice chat clients, especially for stuff like PF groups or people subbing in to a static with the ability to create temporary memberships that last for an hour or whatever.

I've played some MMOs in the past, nothing serious since high school probably but the thing that stuck out both in FFXI and here is the community. Now, I hear a lot of stuff about how the community is often off-putting and such but damn, coming from all the toxic games this is (once again since the beta) a freaking breath of fresh air. Never in an MMO have I seen so many people with such patience and willigness to go out of their way.
Scenario 1. Leveling my THM for Swiftcast, I stupidly died in Western Thanalan while doing leves and spacing out, not paying attention to my HP. First non-instanced death ever if you discount falling from a height. Since Gridania is my home point I didn't want to respawn and waste money on teleport so I shouted if anyone could res me. In a matter of literally 15 seconds I had 4 tells and 1 backshout of people saying they're coming over. Whenever I did something similar elsewhere, I'd be laughed at and called a noob.
Scenario 2. Same day, also THM leveling. Me and an AST were familiar with the dungeon, the other 2 were first timers. This was my run of anything as a DPS so it was sort of newish to me too. This AST was amazing, a prime example of what a Mentor should be. He was patiently giving advice left and right, the other two were soaking it like a sponge because he was so concise. He also took time to explain every single boss encounter and take a breather to explain certain game mechanics. Even gave me a few advices on skill rotation. Most importantly, it was FUN for all involved and so very relaxing. We just stood for a couple of minutes after the final boss and had small talk while fooling around. Considering how silent and hurried these runs tend to be, this was really refreshing. It was the first time I felt that "MMO bonding" experience outside my FC and am still bummed not one of those people were in Moogle, otherwise I would have friended the shit out of them.

There are some huge benefits. While some things could still use some polish or enhancement, it's miles ahead of everything out there right now.
Going to shut down the Mumble server this weekend to get everyone in there kicking and screaming.

Running Discord in admin mode might solve issues like mics not working nicely with it.
Like for VOIP in games it's Mumble or Discord or bust. Either's fine, but holy fuck Teamspeak and Ventrilo are terrible.There are some huge benefits. While some things could still use some polish or enhancement, it's miles ahead of everything out there right now.

I managed to clear it today with 3 seconds left on the clock. It comes down to perfect execution and no pauses I suppose. I didn't even need to use Tornado Kick, which was surprising.

Good stuff, yeah there are some cool people. There's alway that one shithead, can't be helped. But so far the community seems pretty nice.
Only problem I had with a pug was when I was tanking Sunken Temple of Qarn and one of the DPS didn't know the golem boss attacks anyone regardless if I keep aggro and dude was telling me why I couldn't hold aggro lol.
Honestly of all early game dungeons I've played, up to Stone Vigil in my case, Sunken Temple is probably the most mechanically complex dungeon. And some people don't get the mechanics of the dungeon and the boss fights in it. I ignored the dude, though.

Oh wow, I might double dip. Play on PC but I kind of want to try it out on PS4. My new FC most of them use PS4 and party chat when they raid so this would be nice.
Going to have to get used to controller only though, on PC I play with controller and keyboard because there just isn't enough room for most job's abilities and cross class skills. Perhaps they allow mouse support too... going to look this up.

I tried at i210 with relic weapon and finished with 21 seconds to spare. If you're still struggling send me a PM and I'll see what I can do to help.
PhillipCostigan

yeah, at i210 it's pretty handy. Managed to beat the A6S one with just base crafted left side (so like i215 or 216). MNK crafted stuff has accuracy and skill speed overload. Keep running out of TP.
anyway
if you're on Ultros PM me and I can run through some dummy parses and stuff with you some time and help you figure out what's up with your rotation. I'm Fiorelle Laurent in-game.

People RPing sure get mad when you run up to them and /slap their character several times before running away.
Anyone know what the icon is on the bottom left of this hotbar ?
I am planning to use it for my pull macro .
Those are gysahl greens.
I don't actually know the answer, I just wanted to be a smart ass.
Our ninja decided to quit the game but the group's original raid leader decided to come back and go monk for us. Right now though we're living that double DRG dream until he finishes gearing and it's actually really strong.
And my potato Machinist doing more DPS than bard so I guess I'm switching full time due to the wishes of the team. Changing it up pretty early this tier /o.

I require a bard wherever I go. My opener is too painful without foes.
Good man.
#makebardgreatagain
Well, Bard is still in that theoretically better spot with their damage ceiling (and potential, their scaling is still significantly better) but MCH utility being better for the optimal (2x melee) composition as well as having suitable burst to A5S/A6S kind of warps things. MCH is still mostly in a better position this tier but Bard's personal damage will still eventually outpace them, just comes down to the Foe's vs Hypercharge in the long-run (currently edges towards Hypercharge but it's fractional percentage points and that's with lopsided tank vs healer DPS).
Basically, Bards will win the self-DPS race but total raid damage will most likely be a wash. Next tier may warp it due to the secondary stat scaling being so lopsided, if it doesn't warp it by the end of this tier.
