Are you talking about their group or the game in general?
You're in.

Used to be, when you bought a Fantasia it went to all of your characters, right? Kinda shitty that now it only goes to one.
Well someone's gotta pay for Rise of the Tomb Raider not selling 15 million units on Xbox One.
Well I hate tombs.

Hello OT, I wanted to post here that my static on Ultros is looking for a regular caster dps. Most weeks we run on Thursdays and Sundays from 9:00pm-11:30pm eastern. We are a pretty laid back and casual group to be honest, but we got up to T9 before we started losing people to work schedules and we want to start putting in some real time on it to clear it. So if you are interested and have a summoner or blm second coil ready send me a PM or a tell ingame to Tomo Takino.
Ah Ty
So since I've given up on catching all the fish (I can't remember 90 weather/time/weather change patterns at once, RIP) I think I'm just going to try to catch Kuno the Killer because with food I can hit 399 without needing the FC buff.
This is how you catch Kuno:
Two double mooches in a half hour and to catch the second fish you have to catch a big fish.
Apparently Kuno just desynths into an Allagan gold piece, which is massively disappointing.

Why are you still doing that to yourself?
Last ditch attempt to revitalize interest in the game so I don't have to find another hobby.
it will fail
One question guys. I just hit level 50 on my Dragoon and I have a lot of fun playing that job. I admit that I went into this game rather blind and just chose the class which I liked the most. When trying to find some info on how to approach the endgame content, I saw a lot people saying that DRG is rather useless for endgame content in comparison to other dps classes which is a bit disappointing.
So how bad is it really?

I'm speaking for myself of course but I wouldn't try to revitalize my interest in ARR by attempting one of its quintuple RNG games.

Avatar quote again, etc.
Are the mooched fish providing cues via animation or sound? Then you can just lose bait when it's the not the shit you want and move on with your life.
Not that bad. Yes their DPS isn't as good as other melee classes but they aren't useless. Learn the job and you can still pull your own weight during endgame encounters.

If you learn to master your rotation, any dps class is fine for endgame contents.
I think both mooch chains are small tug -> medium tug -> massive tug. Where it gets interesting/frustrating is that it looks possible to end up in the wrong mooch chain pretty easily (depending on if goldfish or assassin betta eats the silverfish), and the whole number 1 mooch off an assassin betta being another assassin betta so technically you don't want to drop the chain if Kuno doesn't bite because it could just be a loop.
Thankfully the only restriction is gloom, which is pretty common and I think only applies to the first big fish (since the buff itself is the Kuno condition), and no apparent time of day restriction so it should be a pretty flexible option.

DRG are lagging behind the other melee classes, but unless you're in some cutting edge progression group or whatever they're perfectly fine.
Thanks for your comments. I think will stick with DRG for now. I am using the rotation from the Dragoon thread linked in the OP as a guide line at the moment and although it's rather complex I am trying to get the hang of it.

Don't use that. All that OP stuff is garbage now.
Search FFXIV reddit or youtube for rotation videos, especially 2.4 videos, as certain jump timings were changed.
oh okay.. I'll do that then. Thanks!

A rotation reborn in the op is the best/only drg thread out there. Read it.
Just EB Ken already. Sheesh.
While you can go do that, all you'll find is more Rotation Reborn setups with more Jumps used. It doesn't change the fundamental concept behind the DRG rotation, you just hit oGCDs more often.

If you're a BRD it's pretty hard to find a time to use it unless you're right on the enemy's ass. If that's the case then use it. If you have to stay far away, technically you can pop it during the times where you go up for a repelling shot. The range is about as short as your average melee auto.
The more things change, the more they stay the same...
So going off of what studyguy said, the only realistic time all the ranged would use it on T10 is when we are burning the boss to knock him out of electro charge after each set of adds.
Are we sure this is the 2.4 rotation? It Doesn't look any different from the 2.1-2.3 rotation.
Yup. I'll require me, Kingtut, and Moara to use poison pots, then everyone to use x-potions of main stat and ethers for casters.
I posted my T10 observations on mandervillemen for everyone to check out.
Nothing is radically different whatsoever with the way DRG plays. You just have more time in between jumps and stuff to dodge aoes and not be a bad.
Right just gotta be careful. Poison pots add another second of delay it's annoying.
No reason for anyone to not use a poison potion at the start. No wild charges to deal with right away. SMNs can Contagion the Poison Potion effect. Plus, SMNs want to run into Miasma 2 range during their Contagion segments. If BLMs want to be super slick, use Aetherial Manipulation before or after applying the Poison Potion to reduce the amount of running.
Melee can weave their X-Potion and Poison Potions in between their GCDs.
There is hope.
:>
They're not Lucrezia or CL but Kyoko Hana (Finale) and Rylai Crestfall (DDR) still rock DRG and have downed T12 already so I think they're still fine in any group.
I always thought Poison Pots use was a myth spread by crafters to sell more Poison Pots, and that no one actually uses Poison Pots.
Oh man I see PPPs on Kyoko Hana's hotbar. Guess I need to get good.
It was in the 2.4 trailers. That's about all I could think of.
