You might get lucky in DF but it's unlikely. Your best bet is to form a PF.

ilvl130 is more than plenty, whether it's DFable depends purely on luck of the draw as to whether you get matched with people who are competent at the fight.
If you want to be a good Scholar or if you want to be a Scholar?
'Good' I guess? Lol
Well then. Leaving your pet on Auto is like casting all of your abilities as they come off cooldown with no regard for the actual needs of the moment. I mean the pets are slightly better than that but no by a lot. If you really want to maximize their effectiveness, you'll want to control them. I think this is slightly less important with the buffing pet than the healing pet.
It is extremely important with Garuda if you play Summoner as maximizing dots is all about using contagion well.
This?
Has everything but the final part where you either the victory/fail scene based on your benchmark.
Yes that one, but I need a download link. Youtube has shitty compression so I wouldn't want to rip it.
If the youtube version isn't high enough quality don't know where you'd find better. Maybe try contacting SE directly? Depending on what you want to use it for they might be willing.
As far as I can tell you can't hide the HUD in the benchmark. None of the normal keys work and I glanced through the .ini and couldn't find anything, maybe you could.

Thanks, I'm going to take that into consideration first if I decide to stick with the class.
That's good to know.
Apparently the Early Access codes [for Heavensward] are valid now! I was waiting for that promised email from Square-Enix, informing me when the codes became active, but it never came. I just tried entering them on Mog Station, just seeing if they would be accepted, and they finally did!
So just a little information for those of you with the Early Access codes and haven't entered them yet.

Alright thanks.
They did a news update instead of an e-mail, you can see it in the game launcher or on the lodestone.
welcome back
Well that explains it! I haven't opened the game launcher in a few days, so I missed it entirely.
And thanks, great to be back.
Indeed, such excitement!
But then begins the wait until the Early Access. It's going to be a long three+ weeks. :/
Still waiting for the EU PS4 version to show up on PSN...
It just hit me that we're right around the corner from it. So the Dark Knight Cecil helm code comes with the actual CE box?
To preorder digital?
Yeah, it's part of the CE itself [not a pre-order bonus], so you'll get it along with the game.
You should get the Baron Circlet/Earrings, as well as the Chocobo Chick Courier minion, during the Early Access, though.
Yeah. Just to be sure that I'll have access to the headstart.
I thought that was up long before the CE physical preorders went live?
Yup thats what I got.
The console version? I don't see it anywhere on the EU/US/JP store...
Yeah, not up at least on the EU side. SO is waiting til the digital CE is up but according to the news update (about the early access codes being enter-able now), it says they are still working with Sony on it:
Lodestone link
I think it says something similar on the NA one, not checked the JP lodestone so idk about them.

Goddammit, I dropped out of the top 10 on the TT tourney leaderboard. If I get dropped out of the top 20, I'm gonna lose my shit
Did you enjoy it or not so much? You seemed kinda reluctant to try Savage but I had so much fun learning new stuff again.
Don't think so

Sometime I get so in love with my Scholar for long periods of time that I forget how good the heals on White Mages really are.
Was running Keeper of the Lake on my White Mage who I haven't touched in about a month and used a free Cure II and got a critical heal for around 5k and that's when I remembered why I started off as White Mage in the first place.

So, do SMN still have MP issues on long fights? Because I'm really, really enjoying the class at the moment and will probably continue to use it on Heavensward.
I'm enjoying the fact of how you have to plan your attacks to be effective, like preparing DoTs on the boss to bane stuff as soon as the adds spawn or using your pet skills correctly.
And a question regarding auto-attacks: I always try to stay close to the enemies and auto-attack them, but I noticed that when I'm spamming Ruin, the character almost doesn't do it. Only when I'm using instant casting abilities that I regularly auto-attack, and it probably isn't work to delay the Ruins for a few more booksmacks. That's how it works, right? I should just stay close with auto-attack activated and not worry with my casts.

Yes you'll sometimes autoattack between spells but it's fairly rare and is mostly due to lag, but it's good to be in range for when you're casting instants or are forced to move. Shouldn't put yourself at unnecessary risk either though, it's not like it's huge amounts of damage and a dead summoner does less damage than one that stays at range, but if you can get away with it it doesn't hurt.
As for mp issues, not sure, I think it was fine after the buff? With Echo and stuff nowadays I doubt it matters nearly as much(and it only really mattered in final coil I believe), and the expansion is sure to bring many reworks to a lot of stuff so it's pointless to try to guess the state of the classes then.

If you use Ruin 1, you'll usually be fine for most fights; Ruin 2 use is where it starts cutting into your MP fairly heavily but you do gain ~15-20 DPS, depending on weapon, due to the auto-attacks added with Ruin 2.
But, yes, there are still fights where I run fairly low but it's all because of purposefully aiming for close-to-0 MP at the end of a fight. Ruin 2 over Ruin 1 where it'll increase damage / for use of oGCDs without loss of cast time, maximum DoT uptime on adds, etc. sort of things.

You do not get extra time with any mmo expac, it is always only the game.
Reading white mage guides have me all stressed out, I was planning on going white mage, but the guides are really starting to scare me. I am enjoying the game and in general I enjoy healing, but I am really starting to wonder if there is such a thing as a casual healer.
White mage is the easiest job in the game.
...Okay maybe second to paladin, I've never played PLD at 50.
Every job demands high effort on end game content, don't worry about it. Of course, the healers get more attention, but being a good DPS is also demanding.Reading white mage guides have me all stressed out, I was planning on going white mage, but the guides are really starting to scare me.

Starting to have regrets about spending £130 on a daft dragon statue.

Which is why I decided to go with the digital CE.
At least you get a cool art book?

I feel ya. I stopped buying collectors editions last gen because the amount of value they actually have is nil to me.
I'm still waiting for them to put up a digital version of the expansion on PSN. Its literally taking forever.

Play SCH in dungeons. You're basically a third DPS while Eos heals. Scholar is more complex to play than White Mage IMO.
I've been a fifty WHM for a little bit and I'm having a good time. I wouldn't say I'm the best at the position but the people under me aren't dying left and right unless they're running into attacks. I'd say I'm more of a casual healer. Having more fun being a healer here than in WoW.Reading white mage guides have me all stressed out, I was planning on going white mage, but the guides are really starting to scare me.

I'd probably be a bit better if a Scholar wasn't too busy stealing my demon belt of healing in WOD this morning! Confound it all.

What you are reading is most likely stuff suited to end game raiding. You really really dont have to worry about that
Well, got to lvl 11 on my Conjurer. Sometimes learning the map and where you need to go is really frustrating. Spent ages running in and out of the same zone, trying to follow green ticks etc. Not sure I like having the area split into section but I guess its a tech limitation.
Might try another class son, just to see what they are like but I wanted to level my Conjurer so I can head towards healer at some point.

Every job has a giant overly complicated guide somewhere, but they are all pretty straightforward once you get used to them.Reading white mage guides have me all stressed out, I was planning on going white mage, but the guides are really starting to scare me.
