Thank fucking god - fight took 125h~ prog time. Feels good to finally be free.

'Forge farm' groups should be >4 light/hour, @Nola - basically you chain level 35 plants into the dragon outside on 5/10/15/20/25/30. The last time I needed Pagos light I picked up 15~ in a lockout with this. Should be much easier now if anyone has +2 Eureka gear.

I'm pretty sure I like leveled a priest from 50something to 60 killing stuff in a pve cave while getting a bunch of honor.

#nochanges Not because I think the game is perfect, but because I don't trust modern Blizzard not to fuck everything up.

Finished Hydatos/Baldesion's Arsenal, mount is really cool - The content was pretty interesting - I think Eureka has gotten better with every map except for release Pagos xp tuning (which was wildly awful), and Baldesion's Arsenal was a 56 man public dungeon that was somewhere between the...

Method hit 10%, then Blizzard randomly hotfixed something that ruined their strategy, then un-hotfixed it ???

Some stray thoughts re: WoW, raids/mythic balance, world first, maybe more suited for WoW thread but I don't want to derail it with FF14 Vs WoW stuff - I used to really like WoW (quit in Cata, am gonna try classic again when it hits), but I've been watching the world race for Jaina and holy...

In my experience dungeons are better than HoH as long as you get fast queues (e.g., are a tank or healer or queuing with one). I think they're also slightly higher variance as complete incompetence generally means you wipe, especially doing decently sized pulls in Bardam's etc. HoH is better...

Pagos was insane on release, real old school grind. But after all the consecutive nerfs I think it's something like 1200% faster now (without considering stuff like aetherytes available at lower levels, challenge log added). Should take sub 24h. Pyros is probably a bit longer (24-36h to get a...

For 8 man content: Outside prog: 50%ae and balance are the things you want to save, reroll spear arrow bole unless you already have a saved 50% ae, then use spear/arrow on it if drawn. In prog: bole MT is actually really good. Padding a single player is dumb / rdps loss outside of extreme...

FF14 definitely has downsides though, I really miss that fucking snappy GCD with the little click WoW has. Blizzard has like god tier UX people. Just too bad about the design people.

Just finished playing enough to hit legend for the first time in a while (with Miracle Rogue). Rastakhan release was really dumb, but the meta is a bit more interesting after nerfs. Watching the HCT stuff they have on this weekend too.

The thing I really didn't like in DKC1 was all the random secrets you can't find without doing retard shit like jumping into death pits that kill you on the off chance they actually don't kill you and there's a secret there (no way to know beforehand). DKC2 was way better, the bananas guided...

Yes, it's awful while leveling on top of mostly awful MSQ. At cap ninja is 45-50~ casts per minute though, several moments where you hit GCD oGCD oGCD GCD, etc. The game is honestly so good when savage raiding /optimizing at cap but I don't understand how anyone sticks around for it unless...

Yeah, I play on NA (west coast) from England -- I use WTFast and it makes a big, noticeable difference. Like doubleweaves go from clipping 0.5s+ to almost not clipping at all, game feels more responsive, I get disconnected less, etc. I also tried Pingzapper and it had the same upsides, BUT it...

Re: Squadron dungeons - Archer used to be busted but arcanist is very strong too now (and all of the classes are closer together). Worth noting marauder is way better than gladiator. I think it's significantly faster than potd, especially the levels just after hitting brayflox / stone vigil...

From what I remember from vanilla (the original, haven't tried any emulators) there was some threshold of r13s whereby you could have 2 r14 -- like if there was more than 6 r13 two people could become r14? I think across all ranks it worked similarly and was based on total amount of people that...

Finally got my weapon on warrior last week, have only been able to run 9/10 since weekly clears but man it makes a big difference. If anyone is on Primal and needs a warrior for any 1-0 chest content feel free to drop me a msg (here or on Discord at Ehrgeix#1732). I wanna run more. Kind of...

No real standouts, but, high certainty judgements: Don't play whm, ast/sch blow it away Any tank is fine Brd is better than mch, but mch is playable Casters and melee are hard to judge now - in 4.3 I would have said: Drg is god tier. nin is better than mnk, but mnk is viable. Don't play...

All relevant gear is either crafted or from raids (currently crafted/nms are i380, savage raids 400). Raids are 8 people, so it's not difficult to find a group. Later in tier as gear builds up, it's not difficult to clear (week 1-2 clears are quite challenging, but there's a big gear infusion...

One of the things I actually fucking loved about vanilla was that you knew what was good and blizzard didn't randomly fucking change things every other patch -- like, wanna do good single target DPS? Rogue was great for the whole expansion! None of this rock paper scissors shit where I level a...

The GCD is really slow, but when you hit 70 you're often using GCD oGCD GCD, sometimes GCD oGCD oGCD GCD and it's much more fun. (Depends a bit on class, the lowest cpm are healers at 24-30~, highest ninjas and bards at 50~). The MSQ is also mega fucking slow, especially the 100~ garbage quests...

Just finished the 4.4 raid tier (alphascape savage), thought it was good. Harder than delta/sigma but still pretty easy relative to UWU. You have to play carefully with starting gear but by the time everyone is bis you're gonna be able to absorb a few deaths and still hit all the DPS checks.
