It's been awhile, but in the last half orb pick-up becomes more complex, as two people get chained together, and one of them needs to grab three to become unchained. I, forget the exact method that was used to deal with that last time I was in there. I think possibly the party just waited until there were enough orbs to go around, or something. <_<;;

First set goes to tank.
Second set goes to party.
In the last phase the party set is picked up by the tethered person.
Set up priority system 1-2-3-4-5.
Lowest number breaks out charmed, highest number breaks the tethers.
Order should be casters -> ranged -> melee -> healers.
This way healers and casters should move as little as possible.
If your bard is bored enough to bait chaotic strikes, swap melee and ranged I guess?

Down for helping with T1-T4 clears?
Crunchberry chart updated again, and at this point adding "JOHN FUCKING MADDEN" would be pretty fitting, and prevailing wisdom indicates all messages after the first "grows new feathers!" per feeding are not indicative of anything. Soooo I'm probably going to have a pumpkin Chocobo when I get home.
A few of the strategies mentioned that the furthest person away from Ramuh will always be picked for Chaotic Strike, and that having a ranged person baiting strikes is good because it means you'll never end up with double-healer-strike.
Sounds like an excellent excuse for me to do nothing half the fight!

Fuck yo chocobo feathers.
Edit: I ended up turning my chocobo Honey yellow because that was all of teh food I could afford.
Time to go the other direction and get Lavender blue!

While I haven't gotten a Ramuh EX clear yet, the strategy we have been using is probably the best one for a standard party makeup. Use the A B C way markers in a triangle around Ramuh and rotate the group around them during the add phase. Bard always baits one of the target icons by being at the edge of the arena. Use limit break on the second to last add.
Honestly, if I wanted the gear more, Ramah would probably be just as ho hum as Leviathan or Garuda by now. In my admittedly limited experience, having just a few people knowing the fight, makes it vastly easier, even for newcomers.
They should have made the rings 110 or something. People would be farming that fight like crazy if that was the case.

People farm it anyways, just keep it to FC runs mainly.

It is pretty good, worth getting if you can grab it.

You have a token?
dynamic IP?
i think an immediate solution would be to use a one-time password and then i think it stops asking you to change password
What website is this?

I miss seeing all those poor healers/casters decked out in the cowl of ugliness.
Argh I'm so mad. The other day I saw some guy wearing Scylla's culottes of casting and I thought they looked like a cool pair of shorts, plus they're better than the sorcerer's tonbans I had, so I decided to get a pair. I've been grinding Syrcus Tower almost non-stop for the last two days and tonight they finally dropped (after seeing about a dozen DRG helms in a row).
I equipped them, excited to see how they look with the rest of my character's gear, and it turns out that despite what they look like in the icon, they're not actually shorts at all. For female characters, they're basically underwear with a pair of leg straps. God damn it, I'm so annoyed. They look ridiculous! Why make them so different from the male version? Now I feel like one of those catgirls you always see running around in their underwear

I assume this one
It's pretty great, the self building rotation/solve function isn't very efficient but it's simulation ability is amazing for testing your own stuff.

Like the healer panties, they are only meant to be worn with the ST casting dress.
are you a 6-9 group?
Huh what time do you usually run? I'd be interested in joining you guys.

Updated flowchart of Totally Hasn't Helped Me Yet:
The semi-dead end paths are good to know to prevent waste, I guess.
I'd probably be fine with RNG if results were instant, or with waiting if I could be secure in the outcome, but piling on both and locking the whole thing behind gardening is just... Ugh. And yet, I'm hooked. Grimace must be purple!
I had a bone white Chocobo and followed this chart and got my Snow White bird.
Just fed my bird 10 apples in hopes that it stops being sky blue.
Nope
How do I set up one?
Fake edit: So the one-time password involves paying $11(once) and then everytime I boot the game input the regular pass+the w'e number the soft token gives me?, is that correct?

I think it's better if you share the link here
Our group just lost another DPS so if you think you can fit our schedule (and are on Ultros) hit us upppp
On Excal unfortunately and we're 7/8 too.

What are you missing? Er, PM me so we stop cluttering the thread lol.
So I've decided to jump back into this game thanks to discovering a random unused copy of the original FFXIV, and I'm having some trouble figuring out what class to go first.
My main problem I had with FFXIV: ARR was the rather slow GCD, putting me off actually playing the game because it was just far too slow. I'm really eager to tank as when I played on the launch of both the 1.0 and 2.0 I went with healers, making it quite a slow and painful experience.
At the this time I'm looking at Gladiator or Lancer, which of these has the "faster" skillset that won't bore me to tears?

Lancers/Dragoons have a "faster" skillset than GLD/PLD because they have more abilities to fit in between GCDs. Outside of I think two offensive abilities, Paladins usually wait around for the next GCD most of the time (sans defensive CDs). The overall DRG rotation is kind of static and strict though so it might be boring. Monks have lower GCD timers because of Greased Lightning and slightly more flexible rotations so that might be more interesting to you?

FFXIV Paladins (the advanced job that stems from the Gladiator class) are possibly the most boring class in the entire genre right now, I have issues with a fair bit of XIV's class design but Paladin specifically is just the most simplistic thing out there since at least TBC's Beastmastery Hunter. For your tastes and the issues with a sluggish GCD, you might want to consider Monk (Pugilist), actually.
