I see others like make me made the wise move to escape Balmung. I somewhat wish Sarg was a preferred server for that sweet exp bonus though but w/e.

I mean... I think going for all of them is worth it, but then again Kirin is my favorite mount in the game.

Ok you guys won. I'll delete my macros.
I'll try to use this hotbar thing and see how it goes.

What aspect of DRG don't you like? DRG has a fairly rigid rotation, and incidentally only starts getting AOE skills after 40. There's no real harm in trying out any/all of other classes that the game has to offer - the only cost is the time/gil involved in levelling and outfitting them. They all start off slowly, but I'd say try of BLM and see if it clicks with you. I can't say about MCH as I haven't tried it much myself.
I don't know the answer for the Binding Coil, but the ARR relic weapon probably isn't worth much outside glamour purposes.

I'm with you, I think it's real ugly looking. That hasn't stopped me from spending a stupid amount of time camping for spawns though.
The relics serve no purpose outside of Glamour and yeah they're super grindy so I would not bother. You can get a more than good enough 50 weapon by exchanging poetics in Mor Dhona.
As Coil, it was the hardcore raid of ARR, and back when it was new content there was a weekly lockout system. It's not there anymore and that wiki is probably outdated.
As someone who recently redid all his keybinds/hotbars, it will feel a bit bad at first when muscle memory still kicks in but after little time you'll get used to it. Finding a practice dummy and training a little on it can help.
Maybe it's just the melee DPS aspect I don't like and having to be up close and personal. Could be the grind of ARR putting me off as well though. I switched to Arcanist and it seems really cool so far so I think I'll put some time into that for now and see how I fare. I am enjoying my time with the game but I can't wait to move onto Heavensward.

Boy, I'm glad I am a chocobo purist when it comes to mounts. Idea of riding something else in an FF MMO just feels gross and wrong. Saves me so much headache from chasing all these mounts.
Same, the only other one I like are the Coeurl. A lot of the other ones, specifically the ones that people chase after look tacky and out of place.

What's the point of being a White Mage if you're not gonna use Assize, Asylum, or Tetra? Never thought I would run into one in a Stormblood dungeon.

I mean you could heal just fine without it but like, why wouldn't you use it lol.

lol, just a hour to get everyone the mount? You would not like to have seen the drop rate when the primal first came out.

They were struggling to keep me alive lol. I had to do smaller pulls. They also had a bad habit of putting regen and medica 2 on me before every pull which is a healer no-no.
My Dalamud red chocobo with a mix of Levin and Hive barding looks much cooler than any of the special mounts I've seen so far. I wouldn't mind getting one of those Amaterasu-looking mounts, but I'd probably just end up switching back to my Buffy before long.
For land-based movement I do prefer the classic chocobo. But flying around on a relatively small bird looks dumb so for flight I prefer something else.
The Ixion mount does look a bit dorky but it is enveloped by lightning and that counts for a lot.
Are we going to talk about how Yojimbo ended up being
nothing but a gimmicky dungeon boss

The problem with chocobo is the awful theme...
No thanks, I'll keep riding the father of all dragons.

I'd rather tear my eardrums off than listen to the mount version of the Midgardsormr theme one more time

As Healer main do you know how many WHMs have have told not to do this over the years? Many of them seem to believe that because SCHs do it that it is ok for WHMs to do it and don't get that Medica II/Regen basically scream "Kill me!" in regards to aggro on healer.
Oddly I almost never see Diurnal Sect using ASTs do this.
I only use mounts with this theme. So peaceful.

Did this so early on when I realised I was never hearing a zone's music, just chocobo or battle music, 24/7.

Finally managed to clear Susano EX, this weekend 11 more clears for the 320 weapon.
I'm a little bothered by PF as of late. Three parties we would clear and someone would still complain that we were "taking too long" to kill before enrage and they'd disband immediately after. Not looking forward to dog farms if it's going to be like this. Don't get me started on the dumb PF requests:
"Doogo 315 or higher, no bonus, 3 wipes=disband"
"MUST HAVE DISCORD, Clear for 3 friends"(but you must have finished the duty to join this)
"Farm, not practice. 1 mistake = 1 kick" Only to see that person screws up pre-sword.
Savage is going to be fun, heh.

Did someone just slander the Chocobo theme? I'm triggered.

It just dosn't feel right, without a mount theme. Pls YoshiP, give XI version!
My favorite was "98% in fflog", there's a lot of these elitist pf bulllshit.
For fucking Lashkmi...I mean really?

I only turn on mount music once in a while, because I like hearing the overworld music; by using mount music all the time you will miss out on a significant portion of the games music. Also note that if you take a Chocoport you get a better Chocobo theme.

I think I'm getting into the post expansion blues. Not sure if it is because I'm sick right now or not. Granted there is still a lot of stuff I haven't done.
Not a fan of. Was fine playing it for most of the expansion, but the skill set at lvl 70 is a complete cluster fuck. High Risk, Low Reward. I could try and practice more on a dummy, but right now in trials I'm just not enjoying it so much. I'm thinking of leveling a Samurai to 70 and maining them instead. Not sure how much more complex Sam gets at lvl 70, but right now it's a lot less stressful, low risk, and high reward.
I still need to do both SB Ex Primals, all of the warring Triad, Omega, and whatever else I've missed.

SAM has like 3 different openers and a lot to take into account. Is quite complex, since hagakure changes it all, at 68.

No way, it's really cool and one of my favourite summons in the FF series.
Let's have a poll to guess which job he's talking about.
My guess is drg.

I have a somewhat related newbie question. I'm a WHM doing a dungeon via the 'leveling' duty finder. We finish a random group of mobs, but the Tank still has a fair amount of regen time left on him. Tank tries a big pull, they all aggro me and I die, then everyone else dies.
Is this my fault because I should time regens better so the they end around the same time as the mobs die? Is it the Tanks fault because he should've​waited for regen to wear off? Or a bit of column A, a bit of column B?

{Shake It Off} {Just used it.}
You can actually click off Regen, so I'd lay almost all of the blame on the tank for losing threat to old regens. You should try not to cast regen at the end of pulls, but a tank can click off Regen at any time. A good tank will also be establishing some level of AOE threat on pull--hit one thing to pull, them an AOE skill to establish threat on the whole pack, meaning a tick or two of Regen shouldn't be getting you murdered anyway. If they're just tagging one mob and letting Regen pull the rest to you, they're screwing up.
If there's a leftover Regen, tell the tank to click the status off before pulling a fresh batch.
Alternatively, if you see the current batch of enemies are about to die and Regen has fallen off tank, don't Regen again. A Cure in between dead enemies and next pull will suffice.
