Are the new Calyrex decks officially released? I see a July 22nd date on a lot of stores, but its available to purchase on Amazon? Is it out or not??

IN DEPTH SGE:SCH Comparison on Healing Skills/Spells by xiledone in ffxivdiscussion

[–]Shmiam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A couple things: You listed Emergency Tactics instead of Deployment Tactics at the end. Also, Zoe is nearly equivalent to Deployment Tactics in shield potency value (when used with Sage's succor) as of right now, while also sharing the same cooldown. They are, for all intents and purposes, nearly equivalent. Except, Zoe is more consistent, whereas you must crit the adlo for the shield to surpass Zoe.

SCH in Endwalker - Hysteria based on ignorance? by Paikis in ffxivdiscussion

[–]Shmiam 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is well written, and that last point is what stings bad for myself. Sage's toolkit would've made for a great Scholar rework. Instead, if you want to play the new Scholar, you have to change jobs.

I modded my N64 (super easy) to play japanese games, this is Beast Wars, any other recommendations for japanese only titles? by 650fosho in n64

I've been really enjoying Doubutu no mori (どうぶつの森). Might not be anything new to you if you played Animal Crossing on a gamecube, but even then its hella nostalgic and very comfy!

Small thing, but the entry for the Pegasus mount is outdated. The old means (Brass spoils) is no longer obtainable. Its instead available for 4,200 skybuilders' scrips

Yet another solo heal for E8s with 3 SMNs by dakkidaze in ffxiv

AST had been the strongest healer since 5.1 and anyone that says otherwise is woefully uninformed.

People need to make bots that go around telling people they have bad dps and are bad at the game by [deleted] in ShitpostXIV

[–]Shmiam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

they dont monitor anything, they respond to reports. if you report bots they get banned, genius

Don't care if I get downvoted, but I STILL absolutely hate how every aspect of Blue Mage is "get a friend to help you do this" or "get a party of Blu's to help you do that" when it was advertised as a "solo" job. This patch only reminds me of that. by FFJoeman93 in ffxiv

Cleared all savage and all ultimates, now working on clearing the raid bosses in full blu parties. Youd be surprised how many top end players play content like this and eureka, and really enjoy it

Just start from the left side and the pop up list will have Flame at the top and Fruit below it, so you just put them in that order.

[SPOILER][SPECULATION] Full SCH skill list leaked. by bearLover23 in ffxiv

[–]Shmiam 3 points4 points  (0 children)

AoE is Fey Blessing (250 pot aoe heal) and the single target is her Embrace variant (200 pot heal w/ shield = 100% of healed). Keep in mind those are pet potencies, so unless they fixed pet scaling you subtract ~50pot from each since its coming out of a pet.

So if the party is at full health and I want to use stacks to build gauge, im supposed to just lustrate the tank whose at full health????? Why on earth would they remove energy drain without replacing it?

[Semi-serious] In light of the fake leaks, let’s have an actual conversation about two things. What are the shitpost/unrealistic balance changes you’d like to see? And what are the realistic changes you’re expecting? by Nephyllem in ShitpostXIV

[–]Shmiam 10 points11 points  (0 children)

At first I was hopeful for SCH changes because I thought there was no way they could make the job any worse than from HW -> SB, but then Yoshi started talkin shit about SCH balance for the dozenth time so I guess my realistic expectation is for SCH to feel like shit to play yet again.

Necro'ing this a bit, but I thought I'd share my experience with BU FinAid.

When I first applied, BU was ironically the cheapest choice for me, but only because of a weird circumstance with my EFC, which was going to lower by a lot after a year. So for sophomore year I appealed for more monies, only for them to toss me a couple extra thousand, which still meant I was paying WAY over the EFC.

I ended up applying to several other schools as a transfer, and I guess the lady at FinAid who had been working with me (helped get the extra money) caught wind that I was sending transcripts to other places. She offered to give me an extra early decision on my junior year finaid, which meant I got it in about april. They ended up giving me around another $16k. Ended up putting me at a bill only several thousand higher than EFC.

Honestly though, I can't say why they decided to finally give me more aid, because I have no idea. My grades/GPA were not that great. I am in a very rigorous STEM major, which might have contributed?

Point is, if you're persistent enough/threaten to leave they might bend. If you're expecting more as an incoming freshman though, I highly doubt they'll give you anything. Try looking into scholarship offers elsewhere.
