LiQuid!

I proudly and openly admit to wishing death upon the mothers of people I don't like
I think I just discovered that it's possible to use esuna too much.

Where was my WAR loot yesterday :(

This game, game of trolls..

That feeling when you provoke to early in T11 and eat the second head and headlights while holmgang is on CD hahaha :D
 
Welp our group finally got a drop we can use again! Dat WAR axe with all dat nasty parry. It's ok, I'm next in line for the axe of Bahamut's wing of parry
 
I have around 1500 seals now. So many hunts were had in the last 5 or so hours. Once I get to 2000 or so I'll probably be done with them for a while
unless I want more stuff for glamour.
Oh definitely keep the tank up, that's priority #1. But Regen and Cure take the same time, Cure requires you to stand still but Regen puts you on GCD for 2.5secs anyway(or whatever it's down to with your spellspeed) so you can't do anything for the same amount of time, other than moving. If everyone was taking damage, then what you really wanted to cast is Medica though. It's not efficient to heal like 2people, but if 4people are damaged, then it's extremely mp efficient, and it's also more time efficient than trying to heal all 4.

The thing about casting regen on DPS is while it works well in early dungeons where damage tend to be non lethal even if you get hit several times in a row, in higher dungeons you generally die if you don't get a heal and get hit again, and Regen takes a while to actually top people off. Depending on the fight that's fine, but quite often just hitting them with a Cure is going to have a better result, both on your mana and on their survival rate. And if you really need a big heal, that's where Cure II comes into action with its fast cast and terrible mana cost, but that's for when you know that DPS is getting hit again soon and he's not healthy enough.

Now to go back to first point though, if they're being idiots and the tank is also low, let them die. Eventually you get more tools to deal with this situation though, like the cooldown that increases spellspeed a lot so you can quickly medica+cure II the tank and get everyone back up to full, or even Benediction when shit really hits the fan.

I forgot about the GCD being the same, that's a good point. A lot of these decisions are being made while I'm low on mana, since I don't have Shroud yet, I can only regain mana with pots which have a fairly long cooldown. But I suspect things will become more clear as I gain more levels and abilities. Kind of like how Regen lets you more easily switch to Cleric's Stance for DPSing which I was having an issue with prior to getting it. Once I get Shroud of Saints I assume I won't have to be as stingy with using Medica and Cure II (no proc) when necessary. Thanks for the information.

Try not having a single piece of loot drop for your class while you're raiding with your static, ever.
 
we got like all tank loot last night and some Dragoon gloves that Ranketsu already had from T10 and T11

zzzzzzz

was hoping for gloves, slaying ring or slaying choker

i'm really behind in accessories. going to go for the poetics chest and hope the pants from WoD drop some time although I refuse to believe they actually exist. would like accessories to drop next week.

did we really not get a BRD drop yet?

huh.

Maybe it doesn't exist. Between you and Kagari you've convinced me not to level a BRD if I ever want to get loot.

I've done that once, that's how i discovered you could provoke early.

...well, you live and learn. XD
 
Meh WTFast, used it for a week and I still got crippling lag, even when all I was running was Mumble and XIV.

Trying out a different VPN in the meantime.

Lmao, not just you mate i muted my self and rofl'd so hard :D Specially when As goes..

What did you do Ray.....?

Looking forward to T13.

Haha when As said that it was the best haha, struggled so hard to not giggle furiously.

I have tonnes of BRD drops but only 1 or 2 usable pieces (Bracelet, Gloves) and nearly all the unusable ones (Hat, Boots, Ring, Choker) before T13. Such is life I guess.

PS. T12 pants ples.

I think between Ash and I we have one rather well geared bard with Hat/Gloves/Belt/Boots/Neck/Earring :< Notice how only one of these are actually all that decent.

On the other hand my Ninja is basically one form of BiS on the left side. This game apparently really wanted a Ninja and a Dragoon in our group...

I have to say, I'm kind of glad we did T12 before we could get enough DPS for 4 Bennus. Made it pretty challenging. 5 Bennus is a different beast for sure, the fight seems a bit broken with 4 Bennus. I know some groups are doing 3 Bennus nowadays.

Okay GAF. Looking to Fantasia up for a little bit I think.

Cat or Lala?

My completely unbiased Roe opinion is: go Lala, join the mafia, pick sides in the eternal behind-the-scenes power struggle.

The alternative is going cat, being a cat, and... That's it.

See it from this perspective. When you eventually lose a fantasia bet and you're forced to change race, if you're a cat you won't notice the height difference so much.

The lala cabal is strong within Gaf...

I did a DREX a couple of days ago and was teamed with not one, but three catgirls in their underwear. They didn't know each other either. Pretty much sums up FFXIV -- Catgirls in underwear pulling aggro.

Got my novus.
Praise RNGesus.

Light farming feels like a dream in comparison.
Less than 250 brights doesn't sound bad at all.

Man I would have finished Novus by now if spending seals on Alex didn't make me feel guilty. Once I get all the BiS poetics pieces for scholar all seals are getting dumped into Alexandrite.

I've been doing a ton of World of Darkness for the Demon Armor of Fending. The amount of skimpy cat girl bards and white mages is staggering.

Fashion Fantasy XIV lives on.

Why did you neglect the game all last night? We have over a dozen people now in the Gold Saucer static linkshell, and you're not in it still.

Why is a linkshell even needed? You were all able to ruin each others lives with fashion betting perfectly fine without it.

I'm still working on my 30 day trial (got 4 days left) and I'm pretty sure I'll be reupping my subscription but I had a few questions on progression. I've got a level 30 Pugilist and have begun leveling Lancer, Rogue, Leatherworking and Carpentry .

1.) Should I be focusing on Ranking up my Grand Company standing?
2.) Should I get through the story content with my pugilist before leveling another class?

I had more questions but I'm drawing a blank.

So weird story, we had a new player in our FC, complete with sprout on his head, have an S rank pop on his head during a fate and he ended up with a small amount of poetics at level 7. I didn't even know you could earn Poe's that early. He asked us what the fuck they were for and we were all laughing our asses off at the story since he got bombarded by a ton of players jumping to him and was freaking out in mumble.

You'll want max rank eventually, since some stuff is locked behind it, and it's not bad to invest your seals there first. Plus I think that way you can do some of the dungeons the GC requires while they'll still give you EXP.

2.) Should I get through the story content with my pugilist before leveling another class?

You'll want Lancer to 15 ASAP to unlock Monk, then do whatever. If you're enjoying pugilist/monk, might as well stick with it and finish unlocking everything. Lancer has some useful skills up to 34 you'll want for monk, but you can wait unti endgame to unlock them.

You should focus on getting the pugilist cross class (lancer) to lv15 so you can get monk. Then go with monk untill lv 50/end of story.
As for GC, save the seals and use them to unlovk GC ranks, it's nice to at least unlock the rank were you can trade green and aetherial gear for seals.
