Scything and Strawberry still need/want their weapons. I can't speak for everyone else, but I do not mind doing T9 until we get them and maybe an Axe too. Unfortunately, I can already hear the groans about more T9, so maybe we should start reserving that stuff for the weekend and get down to business on T10.

I don't mind farming more t9 (I wanna get strawberry something and scything I guess maybe) I just wanna do some other stuff too. B for Kitty cat especially crushed my soul since I was the unlucky dive bomb placer. Lol

I'm sure its usefulness dies down once you've played for a while, but early on the mobile companion app is really good. At least for crafting, if you want to know who is selling what.

Really enjoying the new look the poetics gear affords. Though, who knows how long I'll keep it around before I vanity something else in place. I mean, yeah it looks good, but when a ton of people are walking around with the same look...

...well, maybe I can do something else to differentiate myself. XD

Hey guys I'm about to hit 40 with my Paladin and I was wondering if anyone had any tips for me as I'm getting into the harder content as a tank.

Mainly what I want to know is what is a good rotation for me atm? I went ahead and got the skill from my marauder that ppl have recommended. Also I've never used a macro before, is now the time to set that up or should I wait till 50?

If anyone is looking to group up tonight I'll be on, look for Arthur Snowdragon in the FC.

Threat combo...> threat combo....and then threat combo again. If multiple targets flash until good enough aggro then rotate threat combo. Riot combo is pretty much only worth using during speed runs where you are chain pulling a huge number of mobs and spamming flash till you're out of MP. Use shield swipe whenever it is available and you got aggro lead.

No macros needed for PLD except maybe for party notifications. I use one to notify of Hallowed Ground and Provoke use. Used to use one for cover but the line tether kinda tells people most of the time now.

You can google a list of macro commands and get an idea. Sample tank macro:

/macroicon "Provoke"
/ac "Provoke" <t>
/wait 1
/p Provoking >>> <t> <se.3>

This uses Provoke on my current target, announces it in party chat and also makes a little sound effect to go along with it.

thanks for the tips, going to try this out and see how it goes! Cannot wait for the new Dark Knight class in the expansion. Was really hoping it was going to be Samurai but DK is a welcome substitute.

Two ninja bettas in a row turned in to Assassin Frys.

I can now afford to have gloves made and meld them out. Gives me a week to catch... All the fish... To get back to fisher BiS. That's so many fish backed by so much RNG fuckery (catch 5 of one fish to give you a two-minute buff that gives you a chance of catching another fish! Consecutive weather conditions!)

My gathering glamour is nonexistent now, though, since the professions will all share a set. Wat do.

Man Ironworks Tank Body looks kinda bad with HA Gear. I think I'll glamour back to HA body until I have enough Ironwork pieces.
 
Tank, Healer, Caster, Ninja ironworks body looks nice.
Didn't see BRD, MNK, and DRG yet.

BRD and NIN is the same set, only the shoulder stuff is on the other side and the black/white are reversed(maybe other smaller details but that's mostly it). Same for DRG and MNK I believe, they share the same armor, just small differences.

I think the new tank set looks horrible.. reminds me of the dark ligh set, it makes you look like a oversized trashcan.

I'll stick to my high allagan set mixed with the bohemian coat (untill the t9 chest falls ffs).

Teach me how to be as smooth as you, senpai.

I don't think Golons are capable of that.

that's not what you were saying when you were chasing suzu earlier while stealthed

How could you hear when I speak with my hands.

Also hotfix:

We have confirmed an issue in “The Final Coil of Bahamut - Turn 3” wherein the effect of certain dungeon mechanics caused the Arcanist action “Bane” to affect monsters which originally should not be affected. In order to address this issue, we have changed the aforementioned mechanics.

Please note that this issue did not affect the regular tactics players have been using as they aim to set the world's fastest time to completion, and has no direct effect on those who have already cleared “The Final Coil of Bahamut - Turn 3”.

Additionally, rest assured that the implemented change will not suddenly raise the difficulty of or greatly change the tactics required to clear the dungeon.

We greatly appreciate the input of the players who discovered this issue and the sincerity with which they face the clearing of these challenges.

We hope you continue to enjoy running the Final Coil of Bahamut!

From what I understand adds would gain vulnerability stacks enhancing DoTs, but when Baned to the boss it would carry the super enhanced DoTs as if the boss has vulnerability too so you could push add phase super fast. Not really relevant to me yet but yeah! Blame SMNs and SCHs for getting the game shut down.
 
So what's the easiest way to get Allagan leather? Turn 4 has been really stingy.

Best way I've seen is level leatherworker desynth and play either a Ninja or Monk so you can roll need on the belt that drops for them. Likely not getting it any other way since people need it just to trade it in most of the time, but it has a chance for multiple leather.

Leather drops from the armorsmith stuff as well, three chances from turn 4 versus the one as a MNK.

They really need to adjust how much xp you get for quests at higher levels. Going from 35-50 takes longer than getting from 1-35. I'm having such a hard time leveling my paladin without new dungeons to do and quests seem to not worth the time spent for the small amount of Xp.

Low level roulette gives about 75% of a level per day. It's also typical for the late levels to be more of a grind.

To get more XP, do fates especially with the ninja armies running around these days.

If it's your first char, yeah it's gonna be slower- but dungeons are still pretty good for XP.

That bane trick allowed the only group to have cleared 12 on Ultros to do so so quickly. Yoshida crushing SMN dreams.

Honestly amazed they let that one through when they should know how summoners and their dots/bane work. Then again they did put SS on most of the casting gear....so maybe they don't.

It's to make up for that horrible tutu and... thing... from ST.

The tutu and the... thing were truly and heroically awful. I don't know which is worse but if I had to choose I would say the tutu due to tail erection. I'm looking forward to getting the caster chest since I need a new look and the stats are agreeable also.

So feeling a little down after a bad tanking experience earlier in ST.

Had something big written up about it but instead tl;dr version: SCH that had no pet out and was generally pretty bad died a lot, and didn't heal well. After they got kicked, two DPS badmouthed me, saying I was shit, only here due to my ilvl, etc. Ended up saying "fuck it" and did nothing for the final boss.

First time I've ever died that much in ST as tank.

Really brought me down after a relatively good morning.

After wiping a little on T11 up to 59%, I can see what other were saying about recurring mechanics. But I still find it an interesting dance/fight, with probably the BEST TRASH EVER (or is T12 even better ?). We had so many laughs racing those haha.

It took my random party from the PF about 1,5h, but it was great fun. I got hit with an arrow twice in the last fight that we won and delivered the killing LB while being shot at. Manawall <3

It truly sucks that you had a bad experience but sulking in the corner because of a few harsh words and not pulling your part in the alliance doesn't really help the situation I reckon.

I'm pretty sick of ST now. I never really liked it that much and always preferred LoA. I'll be really glad when they add the next section. Thankfully I don't need anything from there right now.
