Ask Felix about A3S.
Those PVP logs show exactly why I won't play ranked ever. The worst side of people comes out in "srs business" competitive stuff.
PLD rotation seems pretty simple to me (pre-Heavensward), circle of scorn+flash+rage of halone combo+fracture for the DoT.
pop CDs depending on the situation, always have Fight or Flight on whenever avaiable. Really easy rotation imo.
As long as you hold aggro and avoid tankbuster mechanics you are doing your job.
Just did Lost City of Amdapor omg best dungeon so far, love how it looked and the Diabolos mechanic with the doors was super cool.
I'm not even rushing towards heavensward taking me sweet ass time fuck it, there's content pre-Heavensward that I want to experience precisely for this reason, that dungeon was great.
It's the same thing as Dota/League/HotS etc. Only ever queue as a full party if you don't want a terrible experience

On a boss?
Open with halone combo if one of the dps is actually good. You shouldn't be losing hate under shield oath, but you never know.
Otherwise you should be doing 2 Royal authority combos between every goring blade.
That is literally it.

And this is why you use the ffxiv hex editor and replace the shitty home theme with whatever you want.

it's 40 hours but I believe based on feedback that will be changed.
Yes it costs money to move servers (You can also only move 1 million gil so you have to convert the rest to items to resell on the new server). Creating a new character on a new server is free though
Thanks so much! So basically I can have different characters on different servers, really good to know.
Yeah sounds like they're buffing it up to 155 hours or when you reach Heavensward really soon.
Okay. I swear I should be around 25-30 hours at this time. In order to check I enter /playtime in the chat, right?
Yep /playtime gives you your playtime total.
Alright, gotcha. Thanks for the help!

Great stuff... but the way I play is just to nuke things. In all seriousness I am going to look at this guide when I start doing midas savage or something.

Every now and again I love seeing these as a DPS after a dungeon, it usually tells me that I'm doing something right lol.
Anyone here on Zodiark?
Prolly not..
It probably means they were a group and you were the only one they could commend...seriously no offense not trying to be a dick.

Other members were in a party and had no one else to comm.

Still, there's plenty of people who don't leave commendations at all, especially for a dps. Yeah it was probably a preformed group but it still means you're doing something right.
Oh I know, just joking around.
It's a rare occurrence that I don't get a comm from duties at this point. One of the perks of maining a healer, I guess xD. Nice to get them while playing Bard though. I swear I'm the only person I've seen who uses the esuna thing now

I stopped caring about comms ever since I got the golden magitek mount, honestly. Usually I get comms all the time on any class I play. Got 6-7 comms once in alex just for being a good healer. They don't really tell me anything since the player can't commend you with a message.
What's the best thing to meld on White Mage gear? I'm confused about that stuff still. I know... main stats are capped or something. But eh. Right now my entire left side is almost filled with accuracy. Seems to have helped a bit.
Anything in particular I should be doing for the rest? What about my weapon? (I'm not sure if that differs from the normal armour)

Accuracy to whichever cap is relevant to you, then it's a matter of preference. A lot of White Mages love Spell Speed. I personally like PIE better for progression, even though I'll probably try building a Spell Speed set when more gear is available to me.
There really isn't a bad secondary stat for healers, and only SCH has one obvious desirable stat. Weapon isn't any different.
Healer melding at the moment is fairly debatable due to the accuracy issues healers now experience in end-game (heck, even in the latest expert dungeons).
There are three main schools of thought
- Meld full Acc - this is to guarantee you can put out DPS in Midas Savage. Healing is unaffected. You may go voer the accuracy cap for lower content, rendering the extra accuracy pointless.
- Meld no Acc - instead meld usual healer materia like Det and Crit (possibly piety or even spell speed at a push). This helps your healing side and your DPS a bit (though you will still miss attacks)
- Mix it up - meld all acc on left gear, for example, then other stats on right side. This can help your healing a small amount and still help dps but you're likely still not at accuracy cap so misses will still occur, albeit much less often. If you do happen to meet accuracy cap for the content you want then you just meld your secondary stats elsewhere.
Oh, and if you meld onto Lore/Alex gear remember trading it in for the better version will lose the materia you melded.

Had a trying run in Sohm Al yesterday night. My SCH is basically iLevel 120, decked out in Poetics. I also bought the level 50 book from the vendor. The WAR tank liked crazy big pulls and came close to dying a few times. I had to spam heal and was worried about my MP for most of it.
Do I need to upgrade my gear or was the WAR just pulling too many enemies at the same time? We were basically fine during the bosses, although I need to do a better job of anticipating instead of reacting.

Is your book ilevel 120 as well? The "damage" of your weapon affects your raw healing too, so if you only have a basic i115 weapon that will hurt your healing significantly.
Alternative causes include the tank not using cooldowns or being undergeared himself. Otherwise yeah, upgrade your gear with dungeon drops over time.

As you should. Cause going back later to Ampdapor Hard Mode will be much cooler when you see how they remixed the level.
This is why I don't commend tanks as a matter of principle unless they are going above and beyond to explain stuff to new people. Normally I like to throw those commends to my fellow DPS because I know how it is.

Definitely need an upgrade then. I'll search around and see if I can find a vendor that sells it. I would hate to have to pay the 200k or so they want on the market board.
Helps to actually get drops you know.
(Cleared it, and a AST weapon dropped. I nearly cried...)

I honestly only think SCH should even bother worrying about ACC in Midas. Unless your arrangement is that you will be doing more DPS, don't even bother with ACC.
For me in Midas, I'm going spell speed/piety as much as I can with Determination the third, lowest priority.
Also make your Bard use rain of death or something maybe who cares it's a bard
It's okay, I'll still get 2 other commends from the rest of the team on 4man DF
The ironworks i120 one can be bought for poetics. Specifically, the items needed for it are bought with poetics. More poetics will upgrade it to 130.
RIP WHM DPS. The 25th, 50th, and 75th percentile numbers for WHM dps in Midas Savage are pretty low.
The top rankings for WHM right now: http://www.fflogs.com/rankings/10#class=Global&spec=WhiteMage

Ah, ye olde traffic cone Sugar Loaf hat.
Just get upgraded poetics stuff and you can skip most of that.
Ha ha!
getting paired with noobs in the DF main scenerio is the best, dat tomes bonus.
noobs pls.
So what do you think is the most rewarding DPS class in terms of playability?
Nothing as bad as the zebra thong :shudders

I wasn't even aware you could upgrade Poetics.
