    I'd say DRK will probably struggle on some of the bosses, PLD and GNB can definitely get it done but WAR is easier even if you fuck up and eat some vuln stacks. On top of that WAR is the easiest to keep one DPS up with you on most fights as long as they're not eating every aoe. PLD is good for...

    Warrior so you can finish every fight even if your healer dies. Just don't do it if they all wipe at like 80% cause that shit takes a while.

    Btw the twitch rewards stuff went live earlier today in case you want the free mount, afk a participating stream for a few hours. You MIGHT have to leave it focused, at least for me it works fine playing the game with the focus on another tab and with the sound muted, but for some people it...

    There's no real reason to do role quests other than the story for them(which I have no idea if it's any good, I only did 90 and 92 for a couple millions to hit 99). They give the same xp as a MSQ(1m or so, so not great) and they're not required for MSQ progress.

    Finished, overall I'd say it was alright, not great but not that bad. I felt the story suffers from poor pacing, too many parts take way too long for what they're doing. If I was to rate it I'd say 5 or 6 or so, roughly the same as Stormblood. Has good bits but too much stuff that I felt...

    Took me a bit under 4hours, and some people did it faster. I actually didn't even end up using everything I had saved up for it(have like 10 sidequests left, didn't touch a single job quest and I hadn't finished the 10 fate challenge log either). Pretty sure it'd have been faster if I spammed...

    Game is up exactly on time, now in queue, probably a couple minutes more at the rate it's going.

    Steam Deals and Digital Sales

    I cleaned up my wish list, removed a dozen of games that I figured I'm not ever going to buy and play anyway, and then bought a bunch of the low price stuff that's never getting any cheaper than they were(or like .5euro cheaper maybe in 2years kind of shit). Ended up spending like 50euros for...

    I think some of the old dungeon bosses don't have omni directional hitboxes, like in ARR and shit, but yeah for the most part anything since like SB works that way where they have no positionals if they're on the side of the arena by design. Also everything in deep dungeons and I think a bunch...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I mean SAM has positionals too. Viper has like one positional per 3GCD combo(that alternates between back and flank), and the 2H combo alternates 2 positionals in a row(you choose which one you start with but the 2nd one is always the other one) but it also has like 2.5s GCD even with the speed...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Well I'm biased cause I'm not interested in it at all but yeah at least for me it doesn't look particularily fun to play, although it's flashy and fast so should appeal to a lot of people. And yeah it fits the same role as SAM, it has no party buff at all, you just kinda want to line up your...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    It's a bit of a mix of several classes. The main combo is somewhat like Dragoon maybe, with 2 branching paths, but you just kinda alternate so there's never really any choice. Technically it's 2 branching paths x2 so 4 outcomes but the outcomes combo into each other so there's no choice of what...

    I think they might add it later with an UI screenshot of how it looks ingame maybe, or they'll add something in the tooltip somewhere to signify you can decouple them. I think generally anything that replaces an oGCD with another oGCD that can be used instantly can be decoupled.
  14. Pyros

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    You cannot see it from the description. The descriptions will only mention it if the skill cannot be placed on the hotbar at all, but for many of the new skills replacing a button, they can also be placed on a bar separately(if you don't want to cast them by mistake if you're spamming the oGCD...

    I didn't say desynth wasn't good, I said actually leveling desynth doesn't really do anything. I think you get HQ mats more often maybe and it mentions giving "rare" items more often but the rare stuff is usually just garbo anyway so it's whatever. I still desynth a lot, I just haven't bothered...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Fool, you lost 10% xp on a crafting class from the desynth challenge log. I didn't play much this expansion so I barely have anything to desynth. A few raid gear pieces which can't be desynthed until the expansion(like from current raid) and a couple of crafted pieces. Desynth leveling is one...

    That's the big FATE in Ultima Thule, it's already in the game, it's the fate that gives the level checker mount. They listed the 2 big FATEs from ShB(the big snake thing in Tempest and the giant robot in Kholusia) and the 2 in EW(the one on an island off the coast in Thavnair and the one on a...

    For me the no background doesn't work anyway but I block a ton of scripts so maybe it's that. You can mute the tab but not the player and I think that works too(with firefox, don't know about chrome). I always collect my shit in the background. If it doesn't work yeah just have your phone or...

    Regardless he made a ton of money while streaming so unless he was being a complete fucking idiot with his money he should be set for the rest of his life anyway. Story sounds very much like he did something morally wrong but not technically illegal. Something like grooming isn't technically...

    When you play all of it at once it definitely is pretty tiring, I think it makes more sense when you think there's 4months between every patch so people who play continually have these little bits of story and have already "forgotten" about the boring bits before that. The post expansion MSQ is...

    Bit sad it's for launch only and not early access, could have used that massive 1% xp on Pictomancer but I guess I'll settle for the random other jobs after. Anyway free stuff is nice and it isn't some randomized shit or have to buy products shit so that's great. I'll just leave a stream open in...

    Black Desert

    Checked the website to see if there was free shit but the event is next week and there's no J hammer event listed yet so guess it'll be later, I'll probably login to claim all that stuff. Not a big fan of them forcing guilds to choose which facet they want to focus on exclusively, lots of...

    You can't, they specifically say you can't enter the code until they do the maintenance on the mogstation. Mogstation is usually fine anyway, you can register during downtime after it comes back up or just like during the weekend. Only thing that sucks during expansion launch is buying anything...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Looks like pretty big nerfs to big beam of death gameplay, then again that shit is pretty fucking dumb so not gonna miss it. Rest doesn't matter too much I'd think cause there's likely going to be more broken shit to exploit in the DLC itself.

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    Yeah Metroid 4 being 2025 likely means it'll be cross gen. Also likely means it'll look like shit in Switch 1 in comparison since I assume they're gonna push it to be a Switch 2 selling title and make it look much better there as an incentive. The other games looked neat, the Zelda game...

    One factor to consider is it's the end of the expansion and ppl are farming logs a lot, and comps that farm are usually gonna be the highest DPS(like Black mage/Monk) so when a support buffs them(like BRD/DNC) they get relatively a bigger boost to their rDPS, which puts them ahead of where they...

    BLU you can kinda level without much gear/get powerleveled naked, but well it's also very fast if you're doing it manually(like 3-4hours to get to 80 from your current level or so)

    Total War: Warhammer

    So the leaks were either completely wrong or they didn't have info on the next stuff(or that stuff is somehow free but that sounds unlikely, probably gonna be like the previous DLC). I hope they get around to doing a Tomb Kings rework

    Lost Ark Online

    Interesting that seems pretty quick all things considered, both T4 being september and them patching some parts of it earlier. Too early for me though, July I'll probably still be playing Dawntrail so I'll maybe look into it after that.

    Path of Exile

    If they kill flask spamming and only keep flasks for like healing or removing status and shit I think it'd be ok. You can still use mouse movement at times instead of relying on wasd all the time, and you should definitely assign mouse 2/3/4/5 to skills so you don't need as many keyboard...

    Path of Exile

    It seems after they added wasd for that one crossbow class, they went back and added it to every class which supposedly is why there was a big delay on the beta. You can still use the mouse to move if you want, you can click to move then target the enemy to cast while walking where you clicked...

    Path of Exile

    Dragon Age: Why We Can't Have Nice Things

    To be fair if you're gonna have romance I think making most chars romanceable by anyone is fine. It sucks when I have to romance shitty chars because of the gender I selected. The fact they're focusing on the sex scenes in the interview looks like they kinda skip the whole "romance" part and are...

    I mean it's been like that since ARR and this expansion is actually better than any previous in that regard since most classes didn't get any additional buttons at all(few exceptions though like SCH getting yet another button but that's the SCH thing). I can see not liking it but it's nothing...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    They both have the normal amount of buttons though? Which is like about 2 hotbars+a few more with role actions/sprint/potion. That's like every class other than SMN and MCH(and PCT/VPR I guess), or well it's on the lower side with shit like PLD and SCH being closer to 3bars on the opposite side...

    The delayed floors as far as I could tell just go clockwise(maybe counterclockwise sometimes), so you don't really have to remember them, just the direction, then you stand on the edge of 2 zones and move between them. The relics are definitely boring but on the flipside they let you do any...

    Lost Ark Online

    I think once they get solo raids in I might give it a go at some point to just run through content. That's probably like 6months away though right? So won't be soon, but I'm thinking at some point in 2025 I'll probably give the game a whirl for a month or so.

    General Gaming News and Discussion

    I mean the game already has Cammy and while you could whine that her modern costume covers too much(even though it's skin tight spandex), her classic costume is also available with the original one piece high cut swimsuit. They're also adding Elena who likely will be even more naked than Mai.
