I can't guarantee that.
I can't wait for PLD to be the best actual tank, best tank DPS, and most fun to play.
It'll be just way too hilarious to me.
I may be a terrible person.
What if DRK is better than both?
You need to let go a little bit. Way too tightly wound.
Don't listen to Ondore's lies!

I watched The Garden of Words earlier to unwind and it worked for a while
Honestly I expect the relationship between Warriors and Paladins to remain roughly the same, with a few adjustments here and there.
Warriors will probably have higher DPS output among the two, unless the DPS stance offers no benefits aside from being able to stack Abandon. Even without such a benefit the two classes would end up awfully close, assuming all the Delivrrence abilities have the same potency as the Defiance abilities.
Main Tanking will probably remain more straight forward as a Paladin, thus a bit easier to master. The gap might narrow a bit due to Warriors getting a potent self heal CD, and an additional defensive CD. If so, I doubt it narrows too much, but the gap is overstated anyway so whatever. They'll also have a much more desirable DPS rotation, but since it's a bit more difficult for them to stance dance they won't be able to take full advantage of it as often as Warriors.
As for Dark Knights it sounds like they'll be good at both roles, but thier DPS is probably going to be even burstier than Warriors, since they're very dependent on MP and can't use bards to replenish it.
So my read is that the dynamic is tweaked but overall will remain similar to how it is right now. Your right though, PLDS should be more fun to play once they hit 60.
PS: Yes I know, Warriors can tank anything a Paladin can just fine. I'm not intending to drudge up that debate again.
Haha, thanks for the offer. I found a group today that wanted me to stick around for their next attempt, so I might be getting the clear soon... I hope. I'm officially at the point where I know the whole fight, I just need to find seven other people who're also at that point.

So i can't use duty finder when it comes to Chimera fight(Relic reborn quest)?
I really don't understand whats the point of that...

You can? You have to activate the Chimera fight by going to the location physically first and then it shows up in the Duty Finder.

Me and Alice beat T13. Video will take a bit to upload edit but yeah, we won.
Thanks to Haman, Kitcait, Lucifer, Korra, Rav and Gyl for sticking with us. It was a lot of fun even with the deaths. That feeling when Bahamut was about to die was awesome.
So that's Ex Primals and Coil off our before expac list. Next up, post moogle quests + final DoH class (ARM) to 50. Hopefully FSH as well before expac. Hopefully...
Oh also got the Odin fate achievement finally, Behemoth has one as well doesn't he? Would be nice if he would spawn while we're on just so we can get it as well then but if not, oh well.
Today has been a good day.

Ari should be thanking me for that

This vid is from Alices PoV (my PoV probably won't be up for hours so just posting this one) and is pretty much panic healing (so lots of mess ups and mistimed Cure IIIs) but we still won and we both only died once to Dives in this run. Which is a miracle considering our previous runs. (I think we were finally getting it down but we're tired and panicking not a good combo lol)
Not sure we'll ever go back to it (maybe one day with i200+ gear hahaha) but man, it felt good to beat him.
I've really enjoyed the Coil story.

Grats on T13 clear!

I see so many messups I made just watching this back but I am glad we did it. I was worried we weren't (a few pulls before hand, I got myself in a bit of a state. I just couldn't figure out what to do to help myself do it).
Thanks to everyone who suffered with me and Jade throughout all of our T13 attempts recently. Thanks to all the people who gave us advice. Just thank you all. I am so glad to have gotten it done! (same to all of you that helped with BCoB, SCoB and FCoB in general from when we first started it ages ago).
As Jade said, maybe we'll go back in at some other point in the distant future. I'd love to be able to do it better than I did.

This is how it always is for me, rewatching any clear has some moments where I wonder what the hell I am doing. It's a lot easier to judge when not in the heat of the moment.
Grats on the clear.

New player question~
If I buy the Heavensward bundle on PSN now, will I get to download and play the base game now before the expansion comes out? Or will I have to wait until the expansion comes out to access even the base game? I just started playing the trial the other day and I really like it and want the full version, but the purchasing options are kinda confusing me right now.

you need the base game to even play heavensward. So if you buy the heavensward bundle on psn and it doesnt include the base game, you wont be able to play it/launch it
bundle includes the base game

if it includes the base game, you should be able to download it then. It should be a separate installer/game I guess.

http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/...g-in-Heavensward-but-why-are-shadows-so-BLACK
Help me out here guys, I want to see if you're seeing what I'm seeing in the Heavensward benchmark. I realize Dark Knight is coming with HW, but seriously, why's everything gotta be so BLACK?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2Q7MlpPSOQ
If you don't know what I'm talking about, watch this video. I recorded a Heavensward benchmark run, so you can see what I'm seeing. All places where dynamic shadows are being cast are like pitch black, the engine is completely crushing all shadow detail right now. It's easily noticeable for example on all flying mounts when the sun is behind them, the front of the mounts is all pitch black. Similarly, when Alexander raises his leg out of the water, the underside of his leg is completely black and all the flying mounts flying across the screen in the background are all black. Later on when the party confronts the dragon, you can barely see it because it's all black on black. I don't really think this is being correctly rendered, it looks fine right now in the existing client in-game. Hopefully this can be corrected in the released Heavensward client.
The benchmark was run at 4K resolution, DX11 Maximum. You can see my system in the lower left corner of the screen. Yes, framerate is that bad in 4K on a GTX 970. I need a GTX 980 Ti, sigh.

Wow that sounds like a truly awful problem you have there. No 4K? Why bother...
I noticed the same thing during my benchmark as well. Looks pretty bad.
This. The bundle is locked till launch (June 23rd), you will not be able to play the base game immediately and you will not get early access to Heavensward cause you won't get access to the base game till the 23rd.
On the 23rd the base game will unlock and once you complete the full base game story you'll get access to the Heavensward zones.
I've heard of some people having trouble upgrading from trial to full version otherwise I'd just recommend buying the physical version for $20, putting in the code that comes with it, and using the trial client to play the full game. Heavensward is $40 by itself so there's no discount when buying them bundled.

In the latest Live Letter Yoshida showed a options slider for controlling shadows/lighting on the character model. I'm assuming there's one for the environment as well since this is part of the new DirectX 11 stuff IRC.

Hmm, I haven't seen the latest Live Letter, I'll check it out.
this is silly
if I get the physical version do I have to use the disc to play or do I just have it tied to my account?
It's tied to your account.this is silly
if I get the physical version do I have to use the disc to play or do I just have it tied to my account?
Edit:
Oh, it seems it's not. Sorry for the confusion.
If you're on PS4, you do have to use the disc to play if you buy it physically and you install it from the disc. The only way to circumvent it is by downloading the trial client first and putting the code that comes with the disc in, otherwise you'll be SOL. Friend of mine went through that when he bought the physical PS4 disc.
PS3 version is the one that just gives you a digital copy for putting the disc in and then works as a coaster.
