I've been getting gear for other jobs. I play Ninja so I can't share my savage gear with any other job (besides accessories with BRD/MCH).

Depends on what speed tier you want/feel comfortable with. There are different BiS based on speed tiers.
whats the most optimal ?
What you meld will depend on your baseline gear build and the speed tier you are aiming for.
Once you hit your speed tier through a mix of gear and melds you will want to prioritize Direct Hit > Determination > Critical Hit.
There is a bit more to it if you want to get nit picky, but the above is a solid baseline to follow.
If you are progressing through Omega Savage, then you might want to consider using VIT melds in your accessories until you get higher level left side gear.
Think that's more of a general philosphy for doing raid content. that's what I generally do too. I will always put doing Mechanics first then get to enrage and worry about optimizing my dps later.
I don't find shinryu ex hard to meet dps check and the extra mechanic for not Skipping is easy to do too because it's what you have already done but a rinse repeat.

The other dps told me to do so after the dungeon. He told me i did a good job to keep agro and next time to leave that type of player dying heh
Though I haven't played much, sad I am to admit my sub runs out on Thursday, and I likely won't renew it immediately, in spite of yet to do Omega, Ivalice, or 4.1 (just haven't had the time).
Being said, definitely got my money's worth. Thinking back to ARR, HW, and SB, as much as I loved SB, looking at everything on the whole, HW is what I truly loved. Just the whole thing up through 3.3 was superb, enticing, and to a point felt much more personal for the WoL character... Plus god I still adore its theme and characters.
I'll definitely resub eventually (maybe around 4.2, lol), I'm just sad I won't see Eorzea for a while.

It's seriously become a joke now but I'm up to near 14 clears of O3S and haven't seen the healer pants ONCE. Like jesus... piss off already game. Also.... Neo really isn't as intimidating as I thought it would be besides maybe Omega.

Finally made it to HW and as annoying as the the post 2.0 quests were the lead in to HW was fantastic as advertised. Hope theres more moments like that down the road.
Loving Ishgard, the story and the music is fantastic. Feels like they really outdid themselves with the world design here.
Having fun with machinist so far. I dont see many around and all the job advice basically seems to boil down to play a bard

Got my clear today. Yep, I see what you mean with farm parties.. It was like this for Susano as well. Got a clear and couldn't get it again for a while in "farm" parties.

Eh. The job was in a bad spot for a while at the start of the expansion, and wasn't great when Savage dropped, but they've since fixed it up and made it pretty strong. But it'll take people a while to catch on, and even once public accepts them more in general it'll probably still be fairly underplayed just due to the nature of the job and the popularity of the Bard alternative.
The job is also kind of broken until around 64, and you can't really learn your rotation until 70 because you're missing some super key skills, so it will probably feel weird until much later on when you get the full kit.
There's a decent amount of information out there if you hit up some of the outside-the-game theory crafting stuff, but the key things are all centered around keeping your Wildfires coming every 60 seconds with little to no delay. There are a few different accepted rotations out there, all of which math out to roughly as good, so people often end up using whichever one 'feels' the best. This doc does a pretty good job of explaining the various different rotations out there, but they all rely on a bunch of level 70 things and flat-out won't help right now.
Basically the goal while leveling is to get used to maximizing your ammunition, getting used to the Wildfire window, and get comfortable with the turrets. Everything else will change a lot while you level.
Wasn't the rumor 4.15? So likely another 4-8 weeks?
Generally the game's armors are designed with female characters in mind
Most obvious example are the caster tutu pants set or astrologian relic set
Eorzea collection has all armor sets available.
Not sure if they have option to switch to other races wearing those sets though.
And yes once you reach lvl 30 and completed all class quests another quest at your class guild starts that gives a job crystal which when equipped will change your class to its proper job (Lancer -Dragoon, thaumathurge -black mage etc)

Excellent so 4 more levels to be a paladin. Thanks.

At least the females are somewhat covered in this game unlike some other mmos where they run naked.
There's plenty of running naked outfits. I've been semi-classy lately but I now all the good looks.
There's a good mix, what FFXIV tends to do better than most is skimpy clothes are considered for both genders.

When has Drama ever approved anything?
Cleared all four floors of Omega in about 90 minutes today, so that's pretty solid. Finally got my WHM cane from v4! So now I have the full healer set. i340 WHM/AST/SCH.
It bothers me that the SCH book is so... good, haha. The dyeable area reminds me of Gordian weapons. AST has grown on me though.
Also it's amazing how fast things can spiral in Neo Exdeath. This was our clear today. Small clip of the ending: https://clips.twitch.tv/UgliestYawningLorisKreygasm . Just the two healers alive smh. Terrible xD

Is there any way to tell when you server transferred? I just came back to the game and last time I played I took one of those free transfers off of a congested world, but now want to transfer to where some friends are and I'm still in that 90 day period. It was at least two months ago but not sure how far along I am in the third. Since it was free it doesn't show up in the purchase history on my account. So I assume it's just a guessing game now?

Wifey is far far ahead of me, so...time to grind!
(We are on the adamantoise server if anyone wants to party!)

It's been pushed back to 4.2, when Eureka is supposed to launch.
I'm hoping they'll add the relic gear on top of weapon, give me something to work towards. Also wish they'd add merit points where we farm exp and get little boosts to certain weaponskills or traits. Suggested this in the OF but were shot down by people who are concerned PF comments will have "Maxed merits or kick".

They pretty much would, even if they were mild convenience bonuses, though it's arguable if those are the PFs you'd want to join anyway. Guild Wars 2, possibly the only semi-popular MMO with a more casual fanbase than FF14, has people kicking you out of dungeon runs (5 year old content at this point I believe) if you don't reach an arbitrary achievement point number.

Thanks for the info. Ill have to read the lvl70 rotations once I hit 70 as they dont make much sense now.
Bur yeah Ive been working on reloading, wildfire(hard to get the timers lined up every 60s) and turrets(need macro).
Fun class, and nothing beats walking around with a huge gun.
Hey so here's a thing I've been thinking about:
I took a few weeks off from this when Destiny 2 released, and I had a FANTASTIC experience diving into the Raid in that game completely blind, ended up figuring everything out and clearing it over the course of a few nights with some folks I met in game.
Fast forward to the release of 4.1, and of course I'm back to FFXIV because every other game is....well....not FFXIV. I finally got around to clearing Omega 1 - 4 regular (I unlocked it the week it released then promptly dropped it in favor of leveling some crafters), and have unlocked savage but haven't tried or researched the fights at all. I would love to have that experience of figuring out the mechanics, progressing, and finally succeeding in this game like I did with the Destiny raid. What are the chances of finding some like-minded folks to try and take on the savage content blind with me? Is that even a thing people in this game are interested in?

People do that yeah but usually only on the first week of Savage where you don't really have a choice but run stuff blind. I dunno if you're gonna find people like that this far into the tier but doesn't hurt to make a PF party and try, I guess.
I'm sure there would be people out there up for it, best bet would be asking here, the official forums for your world and using party finder and specify that you want to do it blind.
I'm waiting for my wife to catch up to me on the MSQ (I just hit Stormblood) so in the meantime I've been sorting and selling all of my old stuff.
It's actually not that bad, I had already organized it for the most part so it's primarily just figuring out what needs to be vendored and what can turn a profit.
