Support NeoGAF

[grimmiq]

Still not sure what kind of answer you're looking for. If you want to know whether they're strong, they are. Great damage, good utility, a rotation that's very difficult to completely mess up. They're probably going to be a very strong pick for progression raiding. They do well in dungeons too. Their AoE isn't absurd but they hold on really well.

Keep in mind that next week's patch will be a balance patch so it's kind of difficult to pass judgement right now. What's true today may not be next Tuesday.

To be honest I've had a RDM in every single Omega party when I farmed it today. I even got 4 in an O4!

Cool thanks, Going to finish leveling my RDM and gear it up ASAP..then pray they don't nerf it too hard without buffing DRG.

 

[ebil]

Well, I mean, around 20% of RDM's damage is piercing damage, so I kind of hope they fix DRG!

(And I hope WAR gets some love as well, otherwise I'll be asked to come NIN)

 

[Watcher]

I just downloaded the steam demo last night and looking to make my journey into this whole MMO thing. Looking forward to playing with some GAFfers

 

[VanillaCakeIsBurning]

Omega speculation

Spoiler

I hope they add Kefka as a boss. That's one boss in particular I would like to see them recreate in FFXIV.

That ascending tower of bosses along with a Soken rendition of Dancing Mad culminating with Kefka himself at the top.

Just got menagerie in the primal roulette, was not expecting that during remote play lunchtime FF lol.

With the job reworks, which healer is generally considered the easiest to pick up right now? I'm main melee DPS but feel like switching up.

White Mage is still the easiest healer to pick up and play. Straightforward, potent, almost infinite MP, no card minigame to distract you.

12th Ixion


Still 2 horns short of having mount.

Hmm...thanks!

 

[VanillaCakeIsBurning]

Server died.

 

[Xux]

Hagakure's kind of exhausting. Just when I was getting kinda bored with SAM, it's, like, want your decent AoE to be a bit more decent? Breakdance like a crazy samurai, samurai!

 

[darkside31337]

Waited over 30 minutes for this trial MSQ to pop... get booted right when we start. Fuck this crap

 

[hosannainexcelsis]

Square needs to nerf Ixion; it's trying to take down the whole Ultros server at the moment.

 

[CrazyHal]

Getting a lot of lag on leviathan. Hope it's not another DDOS.

 

[Lonestar]

going by the conversation with Lord Doome who didn't 90k, I lost on a V2 piece with a winning roll, because I ended up 90k'd out because we were waiting so long because a healer who was DC'd the whole fight hadn't rolled yet. Rolled a 95, guy who won the lens rolled a 77.

Game was barely playable after I got back in, and now calling it a night. DDoS won tonight.

 

[B.K.]

I'm starting to doubt there are any DDoS attacks and it's just shitty servers, instead.

Apparently it's Primal and Aether getting murdered currently.

 

[Kremzeek]

We just bombed out on Coeurl.

Everyone had D/C symbols over their head in Rhalgrs Reach, people teleporting everywhere, takes 20 seconds to get off your mount.

[IrrelevantAlex]

I'm 3 quests away from finishing up 3.5part 2 and got dc'd in cutscene thanks to the ddos. Luckily not even mad, I needed to stop for the night haha.

I'll have a level 66 DRK when I hit stormblood. IDK if that's a good or a bad thing but once I hit 70 I'll just switch to my 60 Pld or start finally leveling up my first DPS class rdm.

I think that's the old version of FFXIV, not "A Realm Reborn."

I was looking for the game today lol that's why I checked.

That's ARR, it's in the product description. You can't find the old version of FFXIV anymore.

 

[Grisby]

Installed Stormy Blood. Splash screen is that derp knight dude fixing to throwdown with this blonde reddish girl.

Awwww man, What's going onz. All aboard the Mystery INC mobile.

 

[QisTopTier]

Been pulling 2.2 - 2.3k dps on sch. Feels good, don't think I can go higher unless I started using good food and pots

 

[Massive Duck. C.M.]

Being able to solo Heavensward dungeons for gear with my ninjerk will definitely speed up 50-60 for my other jobs

 

[royox]

I feel like such a twat watching story cutscenes in dungeons when everybody else is clearly just wanting to get on with their Duty Roulette done with lol.

Don't. They (we) are getting a bonus for that. More exp, more Tomestones and Wondrous Trails points if there's a new person.

Yeah, it's so bad that it is stopping people from entering the Lochs sometimes.

So if I have a friend purchase base FF14, make a mogstation account, use the ff14 game code, and then use my referral code I'll get 5 gold chocobo feathers and they'll get friendship circlet, aether tickets and silver chocobo tickers still right? Or was that a limited time thing.

Yes, but they don't get their stuff till they fork over some cash and by some additional game time.

Finally hopped into this after a week away at a conference.

I'd be having fun if it wasn't for the incessant 9002 errors, I thought they would have had it fixed by this point.

[Moaradin]

I just hit 70 on Samurai and I'm already doing more damage than my Monk. This class is nuts.

 

[Omni]

Sam seems pretty ridiculous right now

 

[Thorgal]

It needs to be really due to it's lack of utility. Damage is all Sam brings to the table

Lower that damage any and Sam would be relegated to monk 3.0 status.

 

[Massive Duck. C.M.]

400 potency weapon skills will do that lol

 

[Sammy Samusu]

You don't have yo do low level leves, you can just do the higher ones

But low level Leves are good when you are low level...

Are you saying I shouldn't waste allowances on low level Leves?

 

[Massive Duck. C.M.]

I think the ones below your current level give reduced xp?

 

[Baleoce]

Tempted to give Sam a level after rdm is done. Does look fun.

 

[Stone Ocean]

But low level Leves are good when you are low level...

Are you saying I shouldn't waste allowances on low level Leves?

Yes. It's only worth doing DoH/DoL leves before 30 if you're powerleveling crafters.

 

[Baleoce]

Surprised at how quick I got my armourer from 53-60 with just the moogle dailies. Really useful as a catchup while also going for that mount.

 

[Pyros_Eien]

You should use your leves if you'll hit cap(100) but otherwise it's generally better to keep leves for later.

Moved my FFXIV install to my SSD last night. Best decision I've made as the load times are like night and day.

Damn it's over. I'm like 5-10 chocobo feathers away from the twintania mount.

 

[KuroNeeko]

Just curious but do you guys feel like the title of ultimate support class goes to RDM now over BRD?

Seems like they just have more utility and DPS.

Not really. RDM's support stuff is a bit more situational than BRD. The only thing RDM has that BRD doesn't is a raise - and a heal but then again Minne kinda counts? - but RDM should only be raising people in if both healers can't do it.

Now you get to load in before everyone and stand around waiting for them to load!

I wouldn't think so.

Being able to ressurect people just like every Summoner/Astrologian/Scholar/White Mage in the game while occasionally casting a curing spell isn't my definition of a "Support Job".

 

[MrHoot]

Damn, I really like the Susano and Lakshmi fight but them having to pop up every time on the trial roulette is just draining. These fights are way too long and I don't get how so many people, at that level, still get caught so often in very obvious telegraphed attacks. Just wasted 50 mins on Susano and had to abandon cuz the healer kept dying. And everytime this fight just takes forever as Susano is such a damage sponge

I've done trial roulette pretty much every day since launch and haven't gotten any of the new trials even once :'D

Why? RDM should always be raising unless it is going to MP starve them. Unlimited swift casts.
