Echo probably will play into it, or some legacy deal.
I have nothing against it tbh, just noting that even with coil 1-5 being severely nerfed, there are still tons of people who probably haven't even bothered. I have to wonder if they'll throw non raiders a bone down the road.

Really it's like you can't throw a stone or dig a hole in the dirt without hitting some ancient allag tech in Eorzea.
There are plenty of fights you can't out gear. If you don't learn the mechanics, the game tells you to go fuck right off.
Just the other day I was in the shroud and trip over something. Busted my lip on an ancient allagan blender. Those darn allagans.
we did it boys/girls
I told myself I would level a glad during queue times if I had a queue longer than 100 minutes.
lol, guess I'll bust out GLA and then PLD, and just do Rogue FC groups.
Also looks like it'll be awhile before I try another DPS job.

Yeah I think I will stick to FATE grinding for my DPS for a while.
Thanks forcthe help! Did a little search for the essential cross class skills. Apparently, I need carpenter at 50...

I got one like 1 hour before maintenance last night lol. 93 minute queue
Final Coil likely won't be getting any Echo until after the expansion hits. Even then, there have been a ton of Coil fights where better stats only eased difficulty to a certain point. Coil is mostly a mechanics check, so really all echo does it make the phases pass more quickly. I mean, that's good, but only insomuch as it reduces the opportunities for something to go wrong.
All of this is, in part, why I'm so eager to clear Final Coil before expansion. Once the expansion comes out, Coil's going to be a dead raid REALLY fast.
Yeah, but I start new characters for each class I want to play, so these are just the story related dungeons I have to go through.

You do know that in many cases you have to level up multiple classes on a single character, just to have full access to a jobs cross class skills, right?
FFXIV really isn't alt friendly. <_<;;
Oh...uhh...good luck with that.
I don't like the thought of my main character being able to do everything at any time, which is a big mental block for me. If I am everything I am nothing etc etc, create my characters with specific identities and don't stray too far from them.
Yeeeaaah, except at end game you kinda, NEED these abilities. For example, most groups won't even let you ATTEMPT content as a Warrior, unless you've leveled up Gladiator to have access to Provoke. It's considered an essential skill at endgame.
Similarly, good luck getting into endgame content without Internal Release and Blood for Blood on your Ninja. Your DPS will be so far behind par that you simply won't be able to keep up on a lot of content, until you're vastly over geared for it.

yea, you're missing out if you don't get some of the essential cross class abilities, so in the end you'll at least have to level up the other classes a bit
I'm this way to a certain point. I don't want my blackmage character to be the same character as my melee classes as I create the look and name of the characters with their role in mind. I only have two characters really, and I don't plan to raise anymore besides them.
Edit: Also theres no reason you cant get all class abilities on all of your characters(or at least the abilities you actually need for that main class)

To make you level more jobs and experience other classes, and ultimately spend more time and money on the game. That's my take at least.
It's a bit of an odd design decision, but it does pad out the grind to endgame a bit.

Says something when the person who bought it for so much doesn't even have any crafters or gatherers leveled high enough to make any kind of gil. They also bought a normal quality caster chest for 2.5mil.
It says this is a case of the badbards where a bard looked over their sol chest that laughs at spending several mil in melds trying to make the crafted one good, it also says
some Chinaman made his paycheck for the week

I also enjoy FATE grinding. It's great for classes that I don't feel comfortable using in dungeons currently and I wind up with a ton of GC seals.
So that you are forced to at least try other classes and make use of the job switching ability, one of the main draws of the game, even if you end up not liking other classes as much. At least they know you gave it a fair shake that way.
I personally love having the ability to switch to and play a different job and save a lot of my progress if a new one comes along that I like or a group needs a different role than my "main", vs rerolling entirely, and I really don't think the game is asking much of anyone by getting 2 additional jobs into the 30s at the highest either. If you like that job so much why wouldn't you want to do that? It's not like they are stopping you entirely from making new alts either...it's just a hell of a lot more work than something like WoW.
With the way the game works some essential abilities from a class rotation (aka Dragon Kick on Monk) or a clutch class skill (Lustrate on SCH0 aren't learned til at or near max anyway, so there's gonna be newbs either way.
I do expect the chance for a scrub NIN to be a bit higher than the rest for the time being though obv. It won't be any worse than the DK plague in WoW's heyday at least. I'm expecting to see a ton of them in my DF EX queues next week though. I'm a bit worried...
Gonna have a similar problem myself, since I'm trying to level monk. I know the low level rotations, since I had to use them in dungeons, but I haven't figured out how to best work in some more recent abilities into rotation, and I'm not sure I will until I get into some dungeuns, with some proper tanks to work with.
(Getting Flank and Rear hits in is rather difficult when you have enmity.)
I always hate seeing this excuse as if dungeons somehow actually teach people how to play their class. There's no shortage of players at level 50 who don't actually know how to play their class and getting into a dungeon on the way to 50 doesn't really help them. Dungeons don't actually teach players proper skill rotations or the importance of awareness. A dungeon doesn't require all four players to actually be alert when they're playing. Guildhests do a better job at teaching dungeon/raid awareness, but you can play through 1-50 completely ignoring them if you want to.
I always LLDR when levelling, chances are still low that I know what I'm doing though
I would actually agree that Guildhests do a good job teaching these sorts of things.
I would also agree that they're underutilized. Even before this patch, the queues to get into Guildhests were rather long.

They also give decent xp and fulfill up to 3 different challenge log rewards.
The two hest rewards, then also the commendation reward.

Obviously I hit copy-paste after the video had changed on the playlist. I'm as bad as Galen.
I won't admit to liking your style but I will say we both prioritize the right things in the Shiva fight.
Really does look like T8 with the addition of the team fighting an ADS while the tank just takes a beating alone for a while. That giant ass AoE at 8m though looks terrifyingly strong. Also pizza slice AoEs lol, gaseous bomb type attack that seems to need 3 people stacking?? Tank took a dive late and they still recovered too. JPs too stronk
That's every fight
Limsa near the Fisherman's Guild.
Also how many of you Narutos are gonna stay believing it after you're at 50?
I get the feeling most of the people leveling NIN in my LS and FC are pretty sick of it now that they're close to 50.
I wanna stay believing but I didn't have much monk or bard gear going into this patch so it'll be a bit.
