Pretty sure it can remove hallowed.
Monks have been a troll class in PvP since 2.1. Arm of the Destroyer and One Ilm Punch are too good. Nothing new. RIP that ranking site only tracking data for only one of my matches, since I don't have the client app. It also has random seal rock matches from last week where I was afk'ing while playing Black Desert, just to get tomes.

Not much longer until Pa-paya murders my ears in the FC house...
The pre-match strategy talk in feast matches amuse me. People suggest to burst down a character when you should remain patient, and spread out your pressure to stress out the opposing healer. When they can pop defensive buffs or their healers have benedictions, lustrates, essential dignity, attunement, and other abilities, why waste cooldowns right away? Spreading out pressure and finding the right time and target to focus is usually the key to victory.
Hey everyone, wanted to post here to say that my static group is looking for a BRD/MCH now. Our raid times are Tues/Thurs/Sun from 9:30pm-11:00pm eastern. We're on a bit of a hiatus now since people are off on vacation and work trips, but we're looking to start Sephirot EX the last week of March and move on to Midas Savage after that. Since we're starting a new tier, new raiders are welcome! If you ever wanted to try out raiding here's your chance. No previous raiding experience required, as long as you can beat the appropriate dummy on SSS. If you're interested, send me a PM on here or /tell Tomo Takino in-game.
No! Tank stun! DPS shooty! Healer no hurt! Hurr hurr hit good, hit hard. Wat is medal?
These are your teammates.
The opponents that forget to pick up your medals after you die are the best.
Sleeping someone right before they reach a teammate's medals is probably the best thing ever.
Feint can be used as a ranged skill iirc, super useful.
I'm not playing a ranged, but if I see a melee running towards my healer I'll just pop it on them and ruin their day.
Part of me hopes they don't go for Xbox support. Don't care about exclusivity but do we really want another thing this dev team to focus resources on.
If this wasn't just random solo queues I might agree with you, but I'm generally going to suggest dps to focus another dps at start. It doesn't always work, especially if other team is good, but consider how often you run into actually good groups (on either side). Having tank on healer, bursting down one of their DPS (with tank stunning healer around when the DPS is at half or less) works a surprising amount of the time.
I believe they outsourced the Mac version and well... yeah.
To be fair, it really would be a case of just getting it running on the console. Everything like controller support and whatever is already in the game. Besides, I know of a different console they should consider dropping if they're resource starved.
More players is never a bad thing

You lose a lot of effectiveness by speccing into INT. It's not worth it at all. The Pie trait isn't worth it, either, just use gear with Pie and upgrade Mana Draw if MP is an issue. As for VIT, I use my pvp points on the VIT traits and 1-2 Fending accessories. If that's not enough for you, just use a Keeper's Hymn and swap to Vit during PvP (it's annoying to do it every time, but yeah). It's not affected by the ilevel sync and you don't lose secondaries.

Bah Midas statics want a Seph EX clear but PF is rather hopeless
"just get it running" is a lot easier said than done. They'd also need to get the online infrastructure working properly with Live and from there make sure it syncs with the PS/PC version worlds properly.
I'd be fine with them dropping PS3, hope they do at some point in fact, but there's an actual install base there already. We don't know how many potential subs they could get from a Xbox One version, and more players can be bad if there aren't enough of them to match the cost in getting a version available to them up in the first place.
Why do they want an Seph EX clear, weapon? I can't think of a good reason to require it otherwise. At least you can get tome weapon in about month.

Yup just for the weapon. I know how to deal with the mechanics and I can beat the Seph EX dummy just fine but good luck beating Seph EX now without a static. Of course I know it is possible but ehhhh
Well, I think there's a difference between them outsourcing a Mac version (I highly doubt Square has many coders if any at all familiar with developing for Macs, hell, probably Japan in general) porting a game to the Xbox One shouldn't theoretically be an issue, considering they're already developing games for it.

So if I get into a match with a MNK I should basically avoid/stun then run from them if possible.
Because getting Hallowed removed would definitely annoy me a lot.

One Ilm Punch can remove Attunement too if the MNK has high accuracy. Happened to me once :/
The only safe time to use hallowed is after the MNK is dead, because otherwise they can purify off stun/sleep and shoulder tackle you into a One Ilm. Using hallowed around a MNK is like covering yourself in birdseed in front of a flock of pigeons.
You don't have to put up with crappy tanks anymore! And those instant queue in dungeons/trials... hmm can't go back to DPS, nope.
I wasn't able to get on tonight, could anyone on Ultros water our plants? Lavender Beds, ward 2 subdivision I think...plots 39 and 59 maybe? Private cottages of Tomo Takino and Chocolate Biscotti. (Chocolate is making me ask...I don't garden anymore after I let the onions die for the second time...)
Foresight stoneskin blood 4 blood mercy stroke for must haves, then you can basically slot whatever in the 5th one. It doesn't really matter.
Made it to your garden in time... It's saved for now.
I couldn't watered Choco's garden because it is sparkling. She needs to harvest it soon.

That's the end of the original 2.0 main scenario. You have the MSQ of patches 2.1 to 2.55 to go through after that until you get to Heavensward.
after ultima you still need to go through 100 msq quests before you reach HW.
still a long way to go
Okay, my static group has found its replacement tank, and I am officially free! Honestly, at this point it's a huge relief. I was spending a lot of time doing progression, and I knew I wasn't going to be getting any gear so my enthusiasm was pretty low. Now I actually might have time to Bird Farm, which is loot I actually care about at the moment. I mean, don't get me wrong, gear is nice and all that. Right now though, the only content you really NEED more then 210 gear for is 2nd Alex Savage. Since I'm not doing that for at least a little while, mounts are far more tempting.
In other news, the personal issues that kinda forced all this seem a little better as of today. Still, things have been going back and forth pretty erratically, so I can't really let my guard down. Just gotta do the whole one day at a time thing, I guess. <_<;;
PS: Guess this means I should finish the last few quests in the MSQ too. Yes you heard me, helping with progression has just been THAT draining.

There's no FATEs for the 2016 one, AFAIK.
There's a FATE that randomly spawns in one of a few set locations in Gridania. It won't show up on your big map, but it will show up on your minimap and you'll get a FATE nearby message if you're close.

My new favorite thing in PvP is people telling me I should play another class because BLM sucks.
Hi, Hello. Guess what yes BLM is rather useless when I'm getting gang banged by the melee and tank and can't get off a fucking cast. If you actually you know...work as a team and get people off of me. I could help actually disable and kill people.
I've easily gotten 4+ Kills 10+ Assists in some matches where the team is working as an actual unit and not being lone wolf dumbasses.

My only experience of PVP in this game was Wolves' Den and playing BLM in that was horrible. There was no way to actually use any of my skills due to the cast time and I was basically just a sleep machine. That kind of put me off PVP. I should probably give it another go now that I have a DRG at 60.

I haven't had any issue with the queue as BLM. At most it's been 20 minutes. While annoying, that's not terrible, and I do the beast tribe daily quests while waiting. It's only when I have to go off the beaten path for things like Pharos Sirius (to unlock HM) that it takes a while.
What really sucked was the "Legacy of Allag" quest to unlock the 2.X Crystal tower. I had to stand around forever waiting for those stupid fates to pop, and that was with two of them popping immediately. :-/
Many many companies with far more experience than Square-Enix have tried (and failed) to balance PvP in a MMORPG. I don't expect them to ever come remotely close.

You have to wrap your head around playing it differently. Honestly BLM in PvP is best when you help serve up other players to your teams melee by harassing them with sleep/heavy/slow. It is tough to get off casts so you do have to pick your spots but when you can actually cast you can easily crush people in seconds throwing out massive burst damage.
Its a very high risk/reward class. People will be constantly gunning for you because you are squishy and a real debuff threat. I do find it fun as long as I said you're on a team that is working together as BLM really needs support from other teammates. If you're looking to be more on rushdown then yeah DRG would be more your speed.
20 minutes is pretty terrible, haha. If the queue is over 10 minutes I'm complaining xD
Bloodbath, not blood for blood. I'd kill to be able to use that lol!
I roll Foresight, Stoneskin, Mercy Stroke, Bloodbath, Protect.
All our extra skills are largely useless outside Mercy, Bloodbath, Stoneskin. Foresight just pop when you're like out of shit along with something else and Protect is just in case you're solo or PvP. Learning the timing to self cast stoneskin is pretty important imo though. It helps in certain situations.
Also ran into a clear/farm party last night for sephirot, I KNOW THIS FIGHT TOP TO BOTTOM GUYS DON'T WORRY!
Ended up running into the other guy's tower on accident. ._. just kill me
The egg runs around Old Gridania at light speeds and makes comical sound effects as it goes by.
If you see the egg run by a legion of people is soon to follow.
