One stupid decision rectified.
Took them long enough, this will be a big help.
Nah they intended to add A' B' and C' instead of being sensible and adding DEF, I guess that's because of Alliance, but when do you ever need such coordination in an alliance raid.

Keep your eyes on Party Finder, or make one yourself . The ARR dungeons can be run with unsynched parties. You can usually get a party together to just crank out those six dungeons in an hour.

HOLY SHIT GOTY
Thanks for the tip. Forgot about unsynced dungeons. Funny thing is that I waited around 13 minutes for the duty finder to pop up for a synced run through Snowcloak, ran through it, and forgot to equip my weapon (someone was new to the duty so bonus so wasn't a complete waste). Then I ended up running the dungeon solo unsynced just to see if I can do it. Finished it almost as fast as the synced group lol (and without the 13 minute wait time).
Later on today I'll try to advertise in duty finder to finish these off a bit quicker like you said. Or, if there's some Gaffers on Ultros who also need to complete this part of the anima quest or are otherwise bored or want to help, ya'll can certainly join me!

Really hoping this is something like Hamlet defense and not a minigame like Lord of Verminion.

After all these years, they finally gave us the D
Not so much in alliance raids but having the extra marker will be nice for normal runs, I mean so many people mess up when you tell them D is the open spot. Even teaching people something like A12s having an extra marker for where to stack is nice on top of the other important markers. Going forward it'll be nice to have that extra marker anyways and I mean it can't hurt.

No, he means before it was going to be A', B' and C' instead of D, E and F.

Beautiful.
Ah I see I read that wrong my bad.
But there is a massive well of cases where classes have moves that are functionally identical. It is an inevitable result of various classes in similar roles having similar needs.
For example:
Dragoon and Warrior's 30 sec cooldown stun.
Shield Toss and Tomahawk
For that matter, half of the Paladin and Dark Knight's entire skill sets.
Keep in mind, the goal of switching to consolidated cross-class skill lists is to eliminate the necessity of leveling a bunch of classes to get required abilities. Meanwhile, the goal of the battle system overhaul is to simplify movesets within classes and get rid of moves with no utility, in order to make room for new Stormblood additions. Those are two separate, albeit related, goals. However, reducing the total number of skills in the game is not a stated goal.
Besides, I imagine that it is a lot simpler to keep animations and spell effects distinct by keeping seperate skills.
Fair enough. I still think their specific mention of Esuna is [REDACTED] implies something's up though and cross role'd is a reasonable explanation.
The 2.xx story gets really need near the end. It's a great lead-in to Heavensward.
Start out with conjurer for the cross class skills and switch to arcanist/scholar if you're not enjoying conjurer/WHM. If you end up not liking scholar, the only class left is astro.

I wonder if Red Mage will max out the style meter like Blade & Soul Warlock.
Every job has snazzy special effects but nothing so far comes close to the attitude of Warlock. I am likely going to get a tank to 70 first but if Red Mage meets my expectations it will probably be my second 70.

So far, I've got:
Gladiator: 22 (provoke!)
Pugilist: 16
Warrior: 60
Dragoon: 50
Archer: 15 (bleh)
Rogue: 22 (working towards being hokage)
Conjurer: 21
Thaumaturge: 26
Scholar: 40
Dark Knight: 52
Machinist: 30 (I plan on getting to this one at some point to become Balthier)
Astrologian: 30 (ick)
Miner: 17 (zzz)
I don't know if leveling all these classes is the wisest way to spend my time with the game, but I can't help it. I need to get back to HW at some point.
I also rediscovered the Gold Saucer last night and played my first game of Triple Triad.

I already have experience with each, but with no preference. I just don't have any of them at 60.
Same, I like what I've seen so far but they've been keeping their cards close to their chest.
There's someone in the back sitting on the table who has a different style of tail than what we've seen, but we already know they're not adding any more customization options.
If you're only going to do one and have no playstyle preference, AST can be nice since being able to sect-swap to complement the other healer in an 8 man is convenient. Alternately, SCH lets you level a healer and get a free caster in the process. WHM is good if you're a lalafell and want the smug as hell weapon unsheathed pose and/or appreciate holyspam in dungeons.

It's kinda silly to worry about the meta at this point.
Go for WHM first. If you don't like that, try SCH and/or AST. I prefer WHM because it's the most straight forward of the bunch.
It also has Assize, literally the best spell in the game.

I still love Lustrate, although it was God Tier in 2.x. I guess Indomitability is better now.
I'm hoping that is the animation for one hell of an offensive self-buff.

Man, how do you level so many classes ?
Only doing faction "mandate" (sorry don't know the english translation) and dungeon ? It's seems absurdly boring. Is it quicker than the first run though ?
Honestly, just hunting log, level appropriate dungeons to learn the role, palace of the dead, and daily roulettes. I don't even play that often and I've only been active for around 3 months, so it's not as much work as it sounds like. I find the diversity in playstyles pretty fun, so it never really gets boring for me. Oh, and it is quicker to level classes that are lower than your main class since you get a pretty massive exp boost.
Though I've been neglecting the msq in favor of leveling classes and haven't made any real progress in HW yet...

The thing that gets me is that he is doing all of that in a...cubicle? Not in a soundproof room?
Play the one you like best, since we have no idea what the game will look like healing wise in two months.
I prefer AST cause I like playing Yu-Gi-Oh mid combat, but SCH is a lot of fun too and you get a "free" DPS job at the same time. I don't really care for WHM but they aren't bad or anything, just not my style.
Pretty good night tonight. I did Void Ark, Weeping City, and Dun Scaith. I wanted the Void Ark gear for glamour and got two pieces from it and I got a 260 armor from Dun Scaith to replace my Hellfire Armor. I should also have enough Tomestones to get either my Shire foot or leg gear and 270 right away, since I have all three coins.
Because jump potion will give you gear and shit for level 60, whats the point of doing that before SB since people will be jumping for the expansion, not the dead zone a month before it happens
