Dreadwyrm hat!
Is dreadful
Maybe for healers.
Congrats!
Yeah, seeing a bunch of spells explode at once can be pleasing to see.Yeah Thundercloud is not that common unfortunately. I'll give this a go and see how it plays out. I do love it when the procs all line up in a nice way. One of my favourites is if you throw out a Thundercloud in between double flare. If you're quick it all chains together nicely to make a big BOOM.I wish there wasn't that annoying global cool down so you could just let it rip when you get them together instead of waiting.
Hit your buttons harder. That always works.
It's been proven that the ferocity at which you press your controls, the higher your DPS. The DPS "elite" replace their keyboards/controllers weekly due to intense gaming sessions.
I've obliterated so many controllers.
You're doing it right.
Broken controllers show your level of DPS skill. The higher the pile, the greater your past accomplishments.

ct gear was pretty good. fuma set, caster gear were both pretty nice looking. And who can forget about those dragoon/onion pants. Most sought after piece in ct
Well now you went and spoiled the secret.
Been playing XIV again. Just cleared T5. It was pretty fun. I was playing as PLD and picked up on the fight pretty quickly. Went from no knowledge of it to a win in about an hour and a half.
When playing, I can't help but wish travel were a little more difficult. In XI, when it took more time and effort to travel across the world I appreciated the environments significantly more because I had to take them in. It also forced player interaction to find teleports and I liked having actual travel time on boats and airships. Fights also felt more significant when I had to travel to them. As it is, the XIV world feels like it's just a game lobby and I travel to actual content through menus.

Grats on the clear.
As for travel, while I understand where you're coming from, every location in FFXIV so far is actually, "used," for something. As such, there's a lot of back and forth. If travel wasn't as easy as it was, just doing the daily content designed for more casual players, would become highly arduous.
That said, I do hope in the expansion that they introduce some area's that are either dangerous to explore alone, or are not meant to be traversed easily. I will reiterate that travel in most areas needs to be fairly easy. However, hopefully the expansion introduces enough new areas that they feel they can afford to have a few areas that're more dangerous, or more time consuming the cross. *shrug*
On an unrelated note. Yes, the World of Darkness gear looks awesome, and I may end up using it as vanity this time around, at least for some classes. Heck, might even outright use some of the gear. Not every piece of Poetics gear is worth upgrading after all, and the WoD gear might be a slightly better option until something better comes along.

I'm only 43 but I've yet to be killed by random aggro. I don't see how it's even possible, especially after you get a chocobo. This includes exploring areas 10+ levels too high for me on several occasions and running straight through groups of monsters. Things stop chasing you after like 15ft.
I could not play something like FFXI as an adult with responsibilites, but yeah this game might lean -too- far into the casual spectrum at times. Travel is one of them. It feels a bit off for an MMO, especially with how pretty the environments are. I haven't gotten much of a sense of exploration at all.
Walking into a FATE 10 levels above you is really the only danger I can think of.
This game isn't really dangerous in the slightest, but at the very least the expansion will present the possibility of someone dying... maybe. If they AFK long enough...
I meant dangerous to explore at level 60. And yes I do realize that eventually ilvl will eventually blow away any overworld mobs you initially encounter at lvl60, but it'd be nice if there were a few areas where you couldn't safely solo until after the first ilvl cap raise.
But, whatevs, it's no huge deal either way. XD
Edit: There are ways you could accomplish this besides simply making the mobs more powerful too. Easiest way I can think of, would be to simply set mobs in certain areas to a group aggro, so you couldn't fight just one. Or you know, stuff like that, plenty of ways they could get clever.

haha I'll be down to play again like usual tomorrow been with the family and hanging with a friend for most of today. Then gonna log on tonight to help Kezef knock out his final dungeons and tower stuff around 6 before he needs to sleep for work.
or her soul is trying to escape her torturous mortal prison
DRG finally to 50, so that makes PLD, BRD, MNK and DRG.
Trying to figure out what to focus on. Would like to try DRG more but MNK is much more fun. BRD feels easier but I also feel bored applying buffs and dots all the time. I don't know why since essentially it's all just button presses but shrug.
And fuck the animation lock for jumps (._. )

I wear out controllers super fast as MNK. Or well when I played Monk...
Blizzard 1? Really?
I thought you were posting Warlords of Draenor info for some reason now I know what that is. New Crystal Tower looks pretty ace and anything's got to be better than that Sycllia stuff.
What's wrong with it?
Nothing wrong with it per se. I'd just never thought to use it in that way.
Higher potency than scathe and takes the same amount of time since you are slave to GCD there anyway. Bliiz I if you can stay still for now. Scathe if repositioning is needed.
Also, if you're MP gets a tick regen right near the beginning of thunder I cast, just skip blizz/scathe, go straight to fire III, you'll get the last tick needed in time.
i'm 100% serious
because the blizzard 1 will be under the effect of umbral ice 3, the damage is actually very good, will be higher than scathe most of the time
i think someone already mentioned using thundercloud procs after fire 1 if you get a firestarter proc, so something like fire 1 > thunder 3 proc > fire 1 > firestarter proc > hopefully another firestarter proc
if you want to use aetherial manipulation, use it after a fire 1 cast so it can act as fireweaving, but fireweaving is generally bad because it's only good when you get a firestarter proc
i set my blink to middle click with a mouseover macro so it's easier to use
Hmmm... interesting. Good 'ol Blizzard 1 hey? Just when I thought I had heard everything. I'll certainly give that a go.
Though I didn't think Umbral Ice affected damage, only mana regen.
I didn't think it did either. Pretty sure ice stance just nerfs fire damage, it doesn't raise ice damage. Blizz I is still higher potency than scathe.
Too much cat chest. Recompose.
Too shounen for you~

they nerfed the kiss buff's so that they don't affect ninjitsu's, only physical attacks and they increased the tp on 2 moves(?), which kinda made them reliant on tp song in longer fights, but that's all they really did
On my second. Heavy Shot too strong.

How quickly did it take for you guys to do the books? My first time as BRD, it could take a couple of days for books because queues were so awful but as SCH, I can knock the dungeon part out in an hour or so.
I'm doing the last few now and one book takes about half a day if I'm lucky with fates.
I did half of book three and all of four through nine in like three days a few weeks back; dungeon queues on bard weren't really noticeably I bad. I generally did FATES first, then would queue for dungeons while killing mobs. I always ran out of dungeons before mobs.

The fates as usual are the worst part...I could earn enough soldiery for additional books if it wasn't for the downtime...-_-
