Oh we nuke. We're just those sneaky people that sit and ambush all the mobs why they frantically look around wondering why they are suddenly bleeding HP.

Nope, if you wanted to be a caster nuke that was going to be black mage.

Thanks, I just bought that wireless keyboard so I should be ok on that front.
I've been reading up on dungeons on the IGN guide before I run them since I wiped on Ifrit for not realising the nail was a thing.
I always feel a huge pressure in co-op games not to screw everyone over so I'll be doing my research and be up front with questions.
I've gotten a couple of commendations so far though which felt pretty good.
The way you play already makes you better than 90% of the population. Thank you.
Your 1.0 character will be on whatever server you left it on. You can transfer it to any server you wish for $18.

After discovering that you can macro toggling different UI elements on and off, I want to add some complexity to my UI. Does anybody know of a full list of macro icons?
For example, I will setup a macro on a common hotbar that toggles whether or not the active quest UI window and other UI elements that I don't need to see all the time are displayed or not (bypassing the need to go to the HUD layout window when I want to make a change). I would like to give these macros decent icons instead of simple grey squares. Down the line, I will incorporate this into my class/job-change hotbar entries since some classes/jobs require fewer hotbars.

You'll end up using summoner a lot for solo stuff cause it's so much faster to beat stuff than scholar is. Also you get your own personal tank. And two sets of AF gear. This is why arcanist is best class.

Got my Relic and 3 pieces of Onion Armor. Woot!
I'll have to do some Brayflox HM runs tonight to reach my soldiery cap.
Unknown Soldier, I know what you were going through with playing the game on a VT60. I was playing the ps4 beta on it and felt like I was playing with fire.

I only go scholar for endgame stuff and my SMN is still in darklight, but it's good to have available for dailies and stuff like that since I don't have a ton of time to level another dps.

Thanks for the responses. I was saving my Berserk for when I was already infuriated, but it makes sense to use it before. Everything else is more or less the same as what I thought. Except Fracture.
I followed the DRG / Fracture debate and was pretty convinced it was useless there. However I thought that with 30 seconds it would be a sure DPS gain on a Warrior. Then again I remember it being super useful at low levels, but lately the tick is so small that I can't feel any notable difference whether I use it or not or random mobs while soloing. I would definitely like to learn more.
Neither of you mentioned Brutal Swing. Lately I've been saving it to stop a boss AoE attack (especially the full circle ones) so I don't need to dodge and waste time. The alternative is using it every 20 seconds. I honestly don't know what's a better approach here, but I'm liking stopping the attacks. Of course other party members start to rely on that and then I won't have it up in time and it could be trouble.
This is really interesting. I'd love to learn more about the macro system (i.e. all the possible commands). I'd really like a macro to filter out the FC chat while I'm on a dungeon and then get it back after. It's a pain going on the settings page.

Anyone know how the computer keys are setup? I bought a mac wireless keyboard once and it came with cheap keys that had the letters stickered on. It was much more expensive than this one too.

Brutal swing is simple.
If the enemy needs to be stunned save brutal swing.
If the enemy doesn't need to be stunned, use it as soon as it is up.

Garuda story fight was a lot of fun. Wiped about ten times because of an extremely bad healer who wasn't hiding behind piller.
Changed group and won first time with ease. Then got an absolutely amazing cutscene.
Random note - chocobo XP needs patched. 1/4 at least of what is required now. It's ridiculous.

oh snap
Yeah even with the challenge log. I just want to white mage up my chocobo >_<
Lol Panasonic has to make some of the worst TVs when it comes to image retention. I can never play this game on it anymore so I only play in remote play on the vita or plug my monitor. My friend also has a Panasonic and the same problem. If you play a game on panasonics the damn image retention doesn't leave until weeks or months. My friend that has a Samsung never has image retention problems. Stressful tv, can't even enjoy a lot of games on it.

Things that need added or fixed in this game that likely won't be, but whatever I'll make a list.
Companion Chocobo should not interfere with trying to join a duty. (Heard this would get fixed soon)
More Companions. A Couerl would be nice. Since the
is sentient, that would be nice too.
Mount attacks would be nice. Could finally feel like Terra from FF6.
Make it so that you can mount any mount even with a companion out. Hell if I'd have it my way I'd allow you to ride the Fat Chocobo while your Chocobo Companion is still out in the field. I'm guessing they would blame the PS3 version though.
Minions are allowed to be out even when a Companion is summoned. Likely going to be blamed on PS3 version for why this isn't allowed.
All Unique equipment should be allowed to be put in the Armoire. Isn't likely to happen since they want to sell extra retainers. Probably the easiest thing in the game to fix.
A bank that is specifically tied to each of your characters on a server. Some people just like playing Alts and it would actually support Low Level Dungeons not being barren. Would be more prudent if Equipment wasn't broken in this game. Basically a Bind on Account system.
Give the option for Alts to get the EXP bonus as long as one of your characters have made it to 50. Also story mode on an alt is optional. (Doubt this was ever happen)
Something in the FC houses that would serve as a GC representative. You could even make it some weird Allagan Machine since they use Allagan for everything else.
FC Houses should be free to teleport to. Not everyone has Limsa setup as their free transport.
If anyone is going to mention that you don't need to make alts in this game, I'll just point out that it is more profitable for Square-Enix to make them an attractive avenue.

I've been using this one for a while and I'd also highly recommend it. It's durable and no stick on keys (lol?).
I don't think this game wants you to have alts.
We nuke! -slowly!- we're there when you need that last but of damage and we tick the boss dead. =PNope, if you wanted to be a caster nuke that was going to be black mage.

"Tank stay alive as long as you can, I put all my dots out before all the dps died."
*Tank does with the boss at less than a sliver of health*
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"
Stun is a complex beast. The use of Brutal Swing is really just a subset of knowing how to use stun. There are going to be fights (such as the Dhorne Chimera) where, if there is a dedicated stun guy, you should absolutely not use Brutal Swing. If you do use it, it will increase the boss's stun resistance and potentially get the party killed.
Unfortunately, I don't really know what kind of advice to give, since most of my experience with Stun is as a Paladin, where it works differently. This is definitely a case where strategy will vary wildly based on who else is in your team and what enemy you are facing.

SE added the invincibility mechanic to Holmgang. It is nowhere near as good as PLD Hallowed but it works.
have you seen raging strikes contagion fractures?
i dont think they make more money off multiple characters on the same account do they?

You guys give new meaning to the phrase "the pen is mightier than the sword" when you whack the mobs with your books.

Wow I had no idea. Good to know.
As far as chat options within the game. Other than a keyboard, can I use anything else. I read about the iphone/ipad app. I downloaded it (Libra Eorzea), but can't figure out how to chat with it. I have a USB keyboard, but it doesn't have lit keys. Since I mostly play at night with the lights off, this is sort of a problem. Is there an app on PC? I could use my notebook that does have a lit keyboard. That would work much better for me, unfortunately google isn't helping me any here.
