Yeah now that Im good equiped I can help some FC mates and its fun.
Also now that I got a relic I feel more "free" on doing other things like continuing my botanist and lvl up MNK.

Im unsure about starting a Coil set right now. I mean, I want to see it and get the loot obviously, but having to schedule runs almost everyday sounds kind of offputting to me right now.

If SE sells Fantasia again, I'm rolling Lala.
Highlander is great and all, but sometimes you want to waddle.

Yeah, I'm already at the breaking point. I better call that girl that I told I needed some space from when the game launched know that I'm feeling better and ready for a relationship.

When you use it they ask you if you're sure and then it tells you to log out to the title screen. When you log in select your character you need to choose sub command --> change appearance. I selected my lalafell again and it warned me that I should go to the sub command menu. So yeah be sure you want a change cause once you use it there is no getting it back.

The cat population will explode now. Revenge of the Fantasia potion.

Unless the tank isn't very well geared, or people are standing in shit, I could usually dps 70% of the time in AK. 400+ Stones, and 600+ Holys aren't anything to scoff at.

wow didn't know WHM dps could get that high, maybe I should lvl up WHM as well haha.


Side note, should be getting my Fantasia potion by the end of the month, after seeing this

You posted specifically in a thread tailored toward FFXIV, and asked why is this thread in gaming instead of community. I told you it's only been a month, meaning obviously threads last a bit longer. If you wanted an answer for your second question specifically, you'd have a better chance PMing a moderator as that is on a case by case basis.

Oooh, new thread!

So I guess everyone's trial has run out, what is the best way to start the payment process?
Should I do it from the FFXIV website or just through the game client on PS3?

LOL thats great, roe's sit Indian style like a genie(or close)

Is there an expiration date on the Fantasia? I'm inclined to save it till 2.1 hits, just in case there are additional face options or whatnot available at that time.

3 days seems like the best for me.
All groups have their own schedule on my FC (right now I think everyone is doing 5 days), so I guess it boils down to see how we will schedule the new groups. We just got a decent batch of new relic players (including me :p).

This just comes from the FFXI days for me, when the endgame schedules practically killed my free time on anything excluding work and FFXI...

No need to be rude. Mods will answer your question.

Fracture is a higher damage gain than any other skill you have for a single GCD. It's like 220 potency after the DOT is calculated. (100 + 6 ticks of 20, as I recall). So it's a very potent skill that you want to be using. I work it in after a Greased Lightning rotation because I have 10-12 seconds left. usuallg giving me 1-3 skills before I need to begin rotation again to keep my GL up.

Of all the Cross-Class stuff. Fracture, Blood for Blood, and Invigorate are the absolute must have/use for Monk.

Hm, didn't know Fracture was so potent. Luckily its a low level skill so I guess I'll do some quick MRD leveling.
I grinded out 34 LNC last weekend because I felt like I wasn't adequate enough w/o it so I already have that.

Oh, just check out BB and its also low level. Nice.

Can't remember if it is or is not attached to the GCD since I don't use it that often during parties.

Edit: N/m

Yeah, I get those same worries. Like I said, it largely depends on the gear of the tank. If the tank is well geared I usually just toss out a Stoneskin + Divine Seal'd Regen then go to town dpsing.

Those mobs after Demon Wall hit much harder though, so that's where I usually have to really be careful.

Anytime I contemplate dpsing as a WHM, the tank takes big damage and I forget that thought.

New thread! RIP in peace Montblanc and Guy. :(

Yeah decided to not subscribe until the new patch hits



Have fun guys!

we're only doing the weekends for a few hours each day, none of us want to get burned out and its not like theres going to be any better gear in other 5 months

Mont isn't coming back either? Had no clue about him. I'd at least thought he'd be around for another month or two.

I'm using the same set up pretty much and I like using Fracture for that extra damage. But i feel like it's causing me to be tp starved. Either that or there's a rotation for low tp I don't know about :x

A little bit on Titan recently but that's because I'm just hitting buttons for as much damage as possible. But it's only really when I mess up my order a lot that I feel really low on TP. Otherwise, I usually have a decent enough pace that I can keep up without the need for invigorate. I think the DOTs are pretty high TP cost you should let those run out before reapplying most of the time.

Yeah, Fracture is potent, even more so for Warriors. Monk has a lot of attacks that are sub 200 potency even with best positioning. The DOTs are the only ones that are above for them, which is why it's a good use of a GCD, IMO. Fracture's initial hit can also crit too which helps.

I feel powerful with this mount. Like.. I'm really the best player in the world (EU).

I've been much more conservative on my Regen and will cast it depending on how long I think a fight will last. I can usually hit it up early on in a fight, but too late and you risk grabbing agro on the next group unless your tank is aware of the whm pulling hate. Even then, some groups go so quickly that they don't really care at all.

That's never really an issue if the tank is good, but I feel bad about pulling hate so easily at the beginning of a fight.

Mumble is already a sadder place without him. Hope he comes to hang out there at least. :(

Lawd, the OT titles have been absolutely perfect.

Montblanc is gone?

That man was hilarious :(

Doome is a <insert random Obama insult here>!!111!!

Who's his competition anyways?

Why so many people leaving before trying Coil?. There is more content beyond primals

As a healer, is there a way to focus target the tank and then regularly target the mob and then easily cure my focus target while casting DoTs and whatnot on the mob? I cant seem to find a command for it.

Heres what happened last night and maybe someone else can clue me in since it was my first night ever healing.
We were doing Brayflox with a SCH (me), BLM, PLD, and ARC. The entire time we were there, the ARC was just kinda weird...ingoring basic instruction, etc.

At the 3rd boss, I was trapped in a bubble and noticed that the BLM had to free me all by himself because the archer ignored the bubble and just kept firing at the boss. This alarmed me so I figured that I better get ready to pop bubbles if the BLM got trapped next. Sure enough, he did and I had to free him. Doing so required me to swap between targets frequently...the tank for cure spells and the bubble for damage.

Being a kb/m player, this was kind of a pain since that arena is smaller and the camera doesnt play nice up against those walls and I have my targeting customized so that I only target mobs with the tab key when my weapon is drawn so I had to click everything.

Is there an easier way to go about this?

Noice, OT3, now lets get all these Cutscenes out the way and go to OT4 by next week!

dat feel when you see a materia for relic for 10k then miss out on it.

Also, tip to anyone who spirit bonds gear for materia during CM runs.

If you meld materia onto gear it spirit bonds faster. I'm not sure but the rank of the materia appears to effect this as well, so hold onto those rank III fire resists and use them for this purpose!

I think you target your party members through macros despite whatever target you're focused on using <p1> or whatever number. So I'd do that. You just need to make sure to move the tank into the correct slot at the start of every party.

Got to say, after SMN, queuing up with PLD for stuff on DF with INSTANT readies is pretty sweet.

Only thing I can think of is to create a specific macro that will only cure your focus target. I'm not 100% sure what the command for a focus target in macros is though so you'd probably have to play around with it.

Thats a good idea. I already rearrange my parties in order (Tanks - Healers - DPS) even when Im not curing.

Thats what I was thinking too but I couldnt find a command to cure your focus target. I would assume it was something like <ft> but I didnt have a chance to mess with it and find out.

AK goes so much faster when the healer does damage. If only they all would :[

Those are some pretty steep thread post requirements. LOL

Ran Sunken Temple of Quarn last night. Fucking A, that's a dungeon! Weird part was having to wait for a DF Group to assemble even though I queue'd as a tank.

Afterwards I did some looking, LOL at all the wipes this place makes. I think we died twice on the first boss and that was it. Once we saw all the mechanics it was gravy. But, I literally watched a dude on Twitch wipe to that boss for hours on end last night.

So yeah, "it's hard" so people don't run it. Screw that, it's fun and challenging. I hope the upward trend in dungeon complexity continues, cause I'm loving it.

It's whenever one of the mods thinks to move it once a month or so has passed. Plus we like to give notice.

So I guess consider this notice, I guess. I'll probably be moving it soon. Everybody subscribe.

Had the same experience, died twice on the first boss strictly because the other DPS in the party didn't help out on bees and stuck on the boss. Secondly, tank was tanking at the entrance of the room instead of the far wall. That dungeon was a huge wake up call than the ones before it.

Yeah certainly does.

I try not to push the subject in groups though because a few healer friends of mines just genuinely don't enjoy dpsing. So I assume there's more healers out there that feel that way too. Not gonna lie though, sometimes I get in that mood where I wanna just sit back heal and shoot the breeze in chat too.

Your first time from level 40-50 is awfully boring. Having only two dungeons as efficient ways to get the items to purchase your gear doesn't help either.

Then there is the problem of getting a team to beat Titan (Hard). The fact is that most people suck at moving around for some reason. Not to mention someone will rage-quit after 2 or 3 tries.

And Duty Finder needs some kind of gear level requirement for Titan as well. People going in with nearly all AF gear? Expect to lose.
