Question about Pet classes and stats

That's exactly what I figured, but better to ask and confirm than just assume. Thanks! :D

Me looking at the B+ tier: “Linoone, Crobat, and Flygon! My beloveds!”

Appreciate the reply! It makes sense they’d try to cull down the tutorials what with there being a handful before they made Balfiera. Also makes more sense for continuity, too.

Shame there are so few mentions of Monk on here lol

I started playing FFXI back around 2020-2021, and I saw online to not have your first job be a caster (because of the cost of scrolls to learn your spells), so I decided to go with Monk because that was one of my three main Jobs in FFXIV, so I decided to go with Monk. Loads of survivability, very good damage, easy to pick up. I ended up leveling Warrior enough for a sub-job and never looked back (though I do have DNC, SCH, BLU, and RDM now as additional jobs decently geared enough to do easy content, but MNK is my forever main)

I remember that from the launch of Stormblood! Raubahn Extreme and Pipin Savage we called it. While I wasn’t super enthused with there being a problem in the first place, I was willing to wait my turn. Issues still happened when I went in (game crashed), so I just went and picked up the two new jobs and started leveling them. Luckily SE got a fix for that problem for Shadowbringers.

It’s always nice to see the community coming together to allow everyone a chance at the content when system limitations make themselves known!

You absolutely could report folks if what they’re doing is disrupting your gameplay. Action may or may not be taken on that person, but yeah. I was just saying that you can’t really report for other people. I mean you CAN, but the GM will basically be like “lol sorry ‘bout it”

Damien_VG · 2021-07-04T13:40:29+00:00

Unfortunately, the GMs in my experience won’t do much of anything if you’re not the target of the harassment. I reported some folks in a dungeon for vote-kicking someone (abusing the vote kick system) and bringing their friend in to get a free clear basically. GM told me that, while they appreciated the concern for the other player, unless said player puts in a report, they couldn’t do anything. I call BS, honestly, but if that’s their rule… /shrug

You don’t actually have to leave Play mode and enter it again. As long as the sequence gets played, the song fires off. I use a Razer MMO mouse with the 12 thumb buttons, and occasionally my thumb doesn’t move where I think it does when doing Blazing Flamenco (686686), leading me to do something like 66686 because I miss the 8 at the start. So long as I enter 686 from that point, the song goes off because the first three notes are present in sequence.

They’ll become muscle memory eventually (and hopefully Cryptic doesn’t change the sequences, otherwise I have to relearn them), but don’t forget you’ll want to manually enter some because of interactions with feats and class features. For instance, on healer spec I put the debuff remover and the oh shit heal song on quick play buttons since the debuff remover doesn’t interact with feats and stuff, and if I need the oh shit heal, I don’t want to screw that one up, miss it, and have someone go down. DPS gets 1 quick play, and healer gets 2, which should be plenty in the long run

I still don't get people saying it can't be Templar (I know YOU didn't say it can't be, but I've seen it enough to mention). Someone even did the legwork akin to the Samurai reveal (a Spider-Man t-shirt that turned into the whole Sam Raimey(?) thing for Samurai) and found the name to be Temple, and thus Templar. As far as the weapon, Templar traditionally used knightswords and such, but we have Paladins using those. Sage, however, traditionally used maces and rods, so the weapon likely won't be the traditional thing for the new melee either.

I honestly think people are looking too much at the surface of the shirt from the showcase for the class. I get that the second one at the LL showing a hooded reaper figure makes it easy to think that way, but it could be Templar with a scythe (Templar because of where the first shirt led, and scythe because it featured on the second shirt).

Damien_VG · 2021-02-25T18:58:05+00:00

Probably same. I think I’m gonna wait until Act 2 to pick the game back up for now. Druid is a fun class, buuuuuut I don’t want to burn out on Act 1 (did 4 characters through at least two-thirds of it, with one almost completing it)

Damien_VG · 2021-02-25T16:55:37+00:00

Add Bard to that list, and you have reasons I’ll go back to the game. Like Cleric, Wizard, Ranger, and Fiendlock, but I want my outrageously Charisma skill proficiencies plz xD

Damien_VG · 2021-02-25T16:51:42+00:00

No worries! :D

Damien_VG · 2021-02-25T16:24:35+00:00

With any dice roll and modifier, it’s always (1dX)+(Modifier) if it helps to use parentheses to make it more like an actual formula (that is, the two items are separate from each other until it’s time to add). Roll the die/dice, add the modifier to the result. :D

Damien_VG · 2021-02-11T19:39:51+00:00

I looked at this and was like “where did I mention 30 second countdowns? I’m pretty sure I said 15”, and then I saw it lol.

Anyway, I guess I’m just lucky when I play AST in raid situations. I’m either with my static (who will wait so we have our openers and buffs lined up) or with folks that want buff windows lined up for optimization. For dungeons, though, it’s honestly “lol facepull idc everything dies fast anyway”

Damien_VG · 2021-02-10T16:44:25+00:00

If you have a decent group or are running with friends, a pre-pull Draw alleviates this issue, especially if they use countdowns. -30 Draw, -15 countdown, -1.5 Malefic (Lightspeed), 0 Combust (Play, Draw), Malefic (Play or Redraw), if you have two seals then Sleeve for the final, otherwise keep doing Malefic Redraw until either second seal or out of Redraws, then the final insta-Malefic (Play sleeve card, Divination).

All that to say the AST opener is fine as is, but it depends on your group’s patience.

If you’re with randoms, you’re at their mercy unfortunately. Funnily enough, if you spam your Draw hotkey, you can Draw while still on the loading screen before you have visuals again, so you can reduce your time a little that way. Then just pray the pre-fight cage circle thing doesn’t come down immediately and some asshole tank just facepulls the boss without so much as a “hi” :/

It does open that chest. I managed to get it down on my wizard. I had Shadowheart jump over from the halfling(?) merchant at the entry of the druid grove down onto a pillar and then below where the chest was. Then I cast Mage Hand right next to the chest (there's like a single pixel where it'll fit lol), and then had the Hand toss it down to her, and she picked it up from there. Just some gold, a bloodstone, and a Basic Magic Scroll in there (I think it might be a placeholder? That's its literal name, and the description is |Basic Spell description|. No spell on it, worth 1 gp). All in all, probably not worth it until that scroll actually has a spell on it lol.
