That's really old content. If all you care about is clearing it asap so you can continue with story you can ask your fc if there's anyone willing to run it with you unsynced (called undersized party in df options). You should only need 1 lv 70 with you to clear it unsynced. Turning on the undersized option in df will dump you in directly with whatever party composition you q in with and will prevent the game from imposing lv or gear caps. You can run all ARR and HW content like this if you happen to hit another wall down the line.
If no one in your fc is free and the df queue is too long, try Party Finder. It's under the party menu. Make a listing for it, put in that youre new and need a clear for story, and if you wanna run it unsynced put that you're running it unsynced. All you need is 1 person to run it with you unsynced or a tank/healer to speed up your queue if you wanna run it through df.
I don't play the PS4 version, but I don't think you're missing anything. AFAIK, Pro mode raises the resolution to 4K and lowers the frame rate a bit while the other mode keeps it at 1080p 60fps.

I have the worst of luck of Omega Normal drops, I've been trying to get a pedal and a spring for 2 days already....
It's almost depressing how I don't get more than 50 on looting and losing every single time. For 15 runs or so already..

It's part of the roulette so it shouldn't be that hard to get in, just be patient as it can take the better part of an hour if you're DPS. Try right after reset time, or ask a friendly tank to join you for that sweet instant pop.
(The number of side btw isn't how many people are queued in DF, but rather people recruiting for that duty)Suffering is for going back in on Sunday and getting serious, tonight is for reveling in the sheer absurdity of our reaction to the transition and everything that happens immediately after. It's a fantastic set piece; it's hard to gauge how it'll hold up long-term this early in, but O4S is nailing presentation in all the ways 12 never managed and seems to be doing its damnedest to carve out its own (sadistic, over the top, "WE HEARD YOU DIDN'T THINK A8S HAD ENOUGH MECHANICS") identity.

the fun is in upgrading your job stone to the red kind OHOHOHOHOHOHOHO

Were the BLM buffs not enough or do RDMs' utility win the day? Not sure if you can filter per patch on fflogs, I only used it to see what gear SAMs/MNKs were buying to sell (answer: all of them).

The buffs certainly helped but B4 still sucks and on top of that the Savage fights are hell for mediocre BLMs which makes prog really annoying
Do the Garuda/Titan/Ifrit extremes give weapon rewards? I see Levi and Shiva's give the Tidal and Diamond ones I think
If only I could get into the Garuda one to find out
edit: mainly ask because I've seen those spiffy glowy weapons on the market board that seem like they'd be rewards but I think they're crafted only?

Levi, Ramuh and Shiva EX drop weapons
Levi and Shiva also drop a token which can be used to upgrade the normal weapons to glowing versions

I really wanted to compare my logs to better WHMs to see what I can do to improve.

Hive Katana gonna stay expensive.
If anyone needs money currently, pick up a DoL job. Everyone is leveling Crafters right now, so it's easy money. I've made millions in the past couple days off of low level ores.

FINALLY beat the MSQ today. Royal Menagerie sure was something.
First try we had a pretty rough time, the duty was abandoned after about an hour with 5 failed attempts. But people offered advice and explained the mechanics and talked the newbies through it.
Queued again and got it at first try with randoms. Nobody instructed the newbies, but everyone got the job done pretty well. Duty finder can be a strange place.

Hey
Remember T2 Enrage method? That was a thing - people going out of their way to make the fight 'roll your face on the keyboard' easy. And we never saw the Rot mechanic ever again.
yeah
Edit: Nevermind, I also remember people looking down on others who did do enrage method (admittedly rightfully so, rot wasn't hard)
Edit 2: Why haven't we seen Rot make a return anywhere? :thonkang: was it really that bad?

You'll end up on Flames again
Well I guess I didn't want Garo mounts anyway...
We got rot light in a 24 man if I remember right? Rot wasn't really an interesting mechanic though (which doesnt mean a whole lot because we still see some uninteresting mechanics but still).
Nah, it was really easy.
O1S is definitely pretty easy. My group's hardly a "hardcore" group and we downed it in 4 pulls. We saw enrage on the second pull.
I'd say it's even easier than A9S, more fun fight than A9S though.

Is this serious? I downed that shite second time I went in it with a PUG.
managed to reach the final waltz phase of v3s
pretty fun fight, even as a blm
don't expect to clear it this week so i'll be taking this pretty easy, tried dummy and failed with more than 5% remaining anyway
i see some jp comments for pf saying minimum 34k hp, any casters here managed to clear it with 32k? that's my current hp with the heavensward tier food i still have and with party buffs haha

My group is boring and doesn't yell oink. Pigs are indeed the best part of the fight.
No Scy, Kappa is not better than the pig.
Neverrrr. Or maybe later.
The buffs BLM got are all fantastic and 60s Triple Cast is a godsend. BLM isn't a bad job, it's just that I find the latter half of O3S to be pretty difficult on it so far.
Was reading Reddit this morning where this guy posted an O3S VoD on BLM to quell the myth of BLM being immobile. BLM is far more mobile than it used to be but to say it's not immobile seems to be a bit of a stretch to me. There's going to be a big difference between a BLM that has a fight fully planned out vs one still stumbling their way through a fight. It seems really odd to me that this person seems to think that people are saying BLM is unfit for savage (is that a thing? I haven't read it). The post comes across as "Hey I did pretty good in here so why aren't you?" Though this is probably more just me being a little bitter and thinking "Fuck I'm not as good as that guy yet."
I don't think BLM is unfit for Savage despite venting like crazy on Discord to Sorian and Scy during prog last night. Instead it's just that I think it's pretty challenging.

Let's put it this way, the enrage strat took pretty much twice as long to clear and yet people would still rather do that than do the fight normally
Allagan Rot is trash tier game design
Easy and hard in FFXIV terms gets really messy because there's a theoretical dividing line between easy-in-general content (most stuff) and hard-in-general content (Savage and maybe EX primals depending on how they feel like tuning them that patch.) When people call O1S easy, it's with the unspoken understanding that it's still harder than the easy-in-general stuff. It's just super easy for something in the hard-in-general tier, but if you've mostly kept to the easier side of things it will seem ridiculous at first.
We were mostly running VIT melds down the right side by the time we cleared O3S (and tbh I'd recommend them if you're hoping to roll on to 4 in the next few weeks because that stuff hurts), but I just went back to check and I don't think 32k should be a problem as long as you get every shield and take no extra damage. Our RDM has 36k in-raid, but it looks like the only time in the fight he dipped below 6k HP was when he flip jumped to space before an AOE shield and ate the raid-wide AOE knocking him to a few hundred HP. It looks like every time he was in range for mitigation and healing he stayed 6.5-7k range and I don't think we babied him at all. But buffer is buffer.
There's flat no way BLM isn't at least mobility challenge mode in 3 and 4. It's in a better spot than it was in the past, there are parts that are mechanics/movement/cast struggle on jobs without BLM's buff timing windows so.
With proper Manaward use you might be able to scrape by with 32k? Just a guess with nothing to back it up. I was straight up dying to some mechanics at 31k HP (without proper Manaward use). Remelded some accessories to VIT so I'm at 34k now and have been fine since then.managed to reach the final waltz phase of v3s

Probably a mix of how you use your Manaward and how much your healers like you.

Our AST wasn't running VIT melds leaving him at 30k HP and some Dimensional Waves early on were leaving him with 3 digit HP

Hello friends. I've just purchased a 60-day time card for FF14 and boy am I lost. I haven't played in probably a year. Currently, I have a Level 51 Paladin and I'm trying to grind my way through all the post-ARR content to get to Heavensward. Maybe some day I'll get far enough to purchase Stormblood! Sadly, I no longer understand what the most efficient rotation for a Paladin is, especially at this "low" of a level.
I don't need someone to spell it out for me, but is there a centralized place where people have posted their optimal rotations and builds while leveling? Sorry for the noob question and thanks in advance.

At 51 you're still doing the 1-2-3 Halone combo. I wouldn't worry about rotations until 60 when you get Goring Blade and Royal Authority, giving you two combos to use.
Spirits Within, Shield Swipe and Circle of Scorn on cooldown. They also gave you Total Eclipse to use for AoE damage although you should use Flash to establish enmity.

The quest line to get a fucking wine is the longest I have ever seen.
They keep sending me from one side of the map to the other.

So as some of you may have gathered, I'm on the last knockings of ARR endgame quests just before Heavensward and holy crap.

Also, Discord and/or the ingame channels need spoiler tags, because I already got told off that I can't discuss this there.

hey - I know you spoilered it, but I don't think it's quite fair to have game of thrones spoilers in a FFXIV thread.
Edited, everyone please edit their quotes of my post as well please.
