Nah, Drama is just playing the longest tsundere game I've ever seen.
Your greatest oversight was actually really trivial - you stood far away from most of the party for a large chunk of the fight and thus some people ended up out of range of Medica.
I just don't understand how that is relevant. Bard is the easiest DPS to pick up and play, but you wouldn't ever make the case they are a better dps than MNK right? It's like adding an addendum every time someone says MNK is best dps with "Yes, but you have to learn the rotation and keep stacks up". I have to learn a class in order to be good at it? Well that changes everything!
The "controversial" part is how you continue to bring these "issues" up about Warriors when they are either not true, irrelevant, or misconstrued. Let's not act like today is the first time you have brought this topic up. It seems the consistent theme is you feel you are an inadequate tank at times and latch on to class differences as an excuse, "WAR is so much harder though guys!". WAR can be a better main tank, no matter how many excusatory statements you want to add to that statement after the fact, it's not the classes fault you are sometimes unable to live up to it. Or maybe you are a WAR god, I don't know, I haven't played with you in a very long time but this is the kind of image I am getting based off these many many arguments. I can't really fathom any other reason before your arguments besides this.
This isn't about playing the devil's advocate; this is about being factually wrong, having sometimes poorly constructed arguments, or generally backpedalling and changing the argument every time someone calls you out on part of it.
Also I blame nin py for getting me involved in this.
The trick is to take a deep breath, at which point time will literally begin moving slower and Fountains of Wayne will begin to play.
See video reference of a WHM saving a run here.
Speaking of, watching the vid back, Medica itself has a nice range. Everyone was spread out but I saw all the folks who got hit.
Gonna need to remember that when my WHM gets to 50
I just knew what that video was going to be when I read this lol. <3 Scrubs

Yeah, that's something else I need to work on more. I appreciate you bringing it up, since I completely overlooked it.

the only way galen can ever win drama's heart is to actually show up to her door and take out the trash for her. but galen never gonna do that so, rip
To be fair, I do take out a lot of trash thanks to xtech sending me mailboxes full of it.
Seems like Xtech is your true captain.
Ffxiv ot8 heck with this

Long time lurker here and honestly I give you credit for sticking it out for as long as you have. Majority of the posters here have been very aggressive towards you in general since OT1 it feels like.
Try not to let it get under your skin too much, remember none of them have any impact on your real life, and they don't know you. Feel better.

According to a reddit post I read earlier today Paladins are just called Knight in the Japanese version.
I guess this is why they don't have any magical spells in this version? I do know that they had some form of magic pre ARR so maybe they were called Paladin in the JP version there then changed in ARR unless that's how it has always been traditionally.

Not being able to pickup tethers even when you are literally standing on the person for 10 seconds is a common problem in NA/EU because of this game's magnificent server and netcode and how well it scales when you're more than like 50 ms from the servers and have more than 0% packet loss.
Yes, calling the sword and shield tank in NA/EU "Paladin" was a localization decision. They aren't called Paladins in the JP script. This is not dissimilar to how Fire, Fira, and Firaga are renamed Fire I, Fire II, and Fire III for no good reason.
However the chances of there being a tank in FFXIV similar to the FFXI Paladin are pretty low, since the strict Trinity system of FFXIV implies Yoshi wants there to be a healer who keeps the tank alive. If the tank can heal itself, no healer is required. Therefore no tank will be available in FFXIV which has anything resembling significant and constantly available self-healing, which would negate the need for a healer.
Hey guys I have a question about the new classes coming with Heavensward. I know I have to complete the story to unlock the new quests in the expansion but does anyone know if that is also the case for the new classes? Will I be able to make a Dark Knight if i still havent finished the main storyline all the way. Wondering because I still havent finished the main storyline all the way myself but im kinda close, just finished the quest
, and I dont have alot of time to play atm.

No one knows yet.
The job lore surprisingly links the new jobs to Ishgard so I have to assume the job trainers are in Ishgard, and I also assume you can't enter Ishgard until you finish the 2.55 story.

Hey guys, I just signed up for the free trial. Could someone tell me which are the unofficial Aussie servers? I'll generally be playing around 9pm Sydney time, if that helps.
Also, could you guys tell me what the tanking classes are like? I recall hearing there's two different tank classes, but I don't know what differentiates them.

First time poster in this thread. I played ARR when it was in beta and through the initial release but quit pretty early on. Finally had the hankering to go back and finish playing so I tossed out my old 44 white mage to start a new thaumaturge. Three days in and already level 21. Friend wants me to restart on Gilgamesh and the damned server is full right now.
you can't even enter heavensward areas if you haven't finished the main story quests, so you most probably will not be able to play as the new classes if you haven't finished it as well
tonberry, keep in mind it's the unofficial sea/oceanic server so you'd have a difficult time creating your character there, so try to create it during non-peak hours-ish
the english population is huge here even though it's on japanese data centre
2 tanking classes are paladin and warrior, paladin is the simpler tanking class because of their simpler combos

Careful, you're going to start the Tank Holy War in this thread again
So paladin = tanking for babiez gotcha
He already does. It's why drama has rejected him so many times.

At least his character design is pretty good though.
I thought they said once you could start playing the new classes right away, no quest requirement? But I don't really know how that would work, it might just mean no quest to unlock the line to unlock the line (like rogue had, where you did a quest that unlocked the actual main rogue guild's doors)
Regardless of their reasoning, the term PLD actually fits rather well if you look at the classical definition rather than the typical fantasy one. They were the high ranking knights in service to Charlemagne, and here you are a basically the same but in service to the Sultana.
They are extremely well balanced to be honest, you can play either one and do all the content in the game as either main or off tank and have no issue whatsoever. I'd try both and see which you enjoy more, the game's armory system encourages trying everything, and you will need GLD (PLD's base) to 22 even if you go WAR due to cross class skills.
Spooky? Cartoon ghosts are spooky. That right there is the face of a killer. Someone about to completely lose it and cut off your head and ride out into the sunset on a nice boat. Run darkness, run.
Eh it depends on how you want to look at it, Knights in the earliest FFs could use magic too, it wasn't really until Cecil that PLD became it's own thing. The FFXI PLD was called Knight in JPN I believe, but they still got magic. It's possible that was originally a throwback to those older FFs. PLDs in this game may end up with magic at one point too, they had some in 1.0 after all. Holy Succor for example.

PLD get stronger defensive abilities that last awhile, but with longer cooldown times. DPS while actively tanking is relatively low, but decent when not, and you get some minor party support skills. WAR get weaker/shorter defensive abilities, but they can be used more frequently so you can pretty much always have something available to protect you. Their DPS while tanking is much higher, and quite bursty, while PLD is more stable or passive. PLD gets a passive damage reduction stance, WAR gets a passive extra hp/healing stance, so they equal out the same in regards to effective HP. WAR will sometimes scare healers because of how spikey their bars will look because of this, but with the added healing it does not actually make a huge difference.

For those of you who have conquered the beast that is Bahammut, how often and how much did you practice it a week? At the moment, my group averages 3 to maybe 3.5 hours if we're lucky.
We did two nights for two hours, so 4 hours a week and sometimes punishment sessions on Sundays for another two hours or more if we could squeeze it in. So 4-6 hours a week, usually. It takes a while to learn.

I thought one of the recent patch notes said they fixed this already.

I am on PS4, trying to pick a server. It's only letting me pick from a few Chaos worlds, not Ultros even though it's showing up as being open on the website.
Should I wait or is there something I can do?

Just making sure: did you choose the data center with Ultros?
