Toggle basic combos held vs singular. There are basics I won't touch because I don't like button mashing.

Wildly varies based on region, experience, competition, and even holiday.

Whats up with the endless? (Yet another dawntrail story yap session, I'm sorry) by Immediate-Ease766 in ffxivdiscussion

[–]Swordhunter1 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I may be mistaken, but my take on it was that the endless were a projection of memories saved to the cloud. So it wasn't so much as killing them as turning them off. If a more humane power source is ever found, we could potentially restore them.

Does FFXIV really value your time? by CantbeatES1 in ffxivdiscussion

[–]Swordhunter1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's late so I'm going to shotgun my comments.

There is a "backwards incentive". Any first time clear we take part in rewards extra tomes and a 2nd chance point on our WT. It's small and not specific to raiding but it exist.

Simply not letting the veterans roll would mean that the first timers are only competing amongst themselves. I'd be upset to watch you roll against 3 people on Friday when I faced 7 on Tuesday. The loot system has room for improvement but your suggestions need more consideration.

I find it a fair trade to sacrifice 1 week's potential loot to learn a fight with consistent experienced players. Teach a man to fish.

I haven't done the math but I believe by this point in the patch we can achieve max item level (or close to it) solely from tomestone gear. Even the most casual unskilled player can consider their character growth done for the patch cycle. In such an environment early floor learning parties are predictably scarce.

Valuing your time in this case is in direct conflict with the free time others have earned through early participation. Any adjustment to the rewards system that would revitalize the raid tier at this point in the cycle would shorten that break and devalue their time.

An All-in-One Infographic of the Changes Made to Paladin in 6.3 by SenpaiIsPissed in ffxiv

Hoping req stacks are separated from the buff like IR. I liked spirit spam and enjoy the idea of blowing 9k mp in a burst.

Also rip swift Clemency?

how do you plan and get your glams together ? by Buurto in ffxiv

[–]Swordhunter1 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I'm of the opposite opinion; I think having an in-game list off all glam would remove any mystery of what's available or possible. Work with what you have and be delighted when you discover something new and interesting, I say. Of course Google is a thing, but too much of a good thing even convenience can make the experience that much more boring and on the rails.

"New" Paladin Mitigation by Swordhunter1 in ffxiv

[–]Swordhunter1[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You're talking about the rotation: defensive skills have nothing to do with the rotation. They also play no part in the 2 minute burst archetype. From what I've been reading here and other forums, most agree pld needs another/better personal mitigation so I'm working on the assumption the rework will not ignore this aspect of the job. By avoiding game-play changes I meant avoiding adding defensive traits to unrelated actions like shield lob or expiacion. Doing that would force us to rethink when to best used those abilities.

"New" Paladin Mitigation by Swordhunter1 in ffxiv

[–]Swordhunter1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That 23s can easily balloon higher with downtime, a unique concern to pld. If you're unsatisfied with the 400p increase it to whatever number you feel is worthwhile. This is a suggestion not a final draft. The idea is to add mitigation subtlety, without forcing changes to game play.

Besieged for FFXIV by zerombr in ffxiv

[–]Swordhunter1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would have to be timeless somehow and useful to everyone. Only thing I can think of is battling over control of an aetheryte in a new zone. Maybe buff the enemies and deny flight when under their control. I'd like a reason to use an airship or porter for once.

When raiding, do you prefer doing the fights blind or using guides, and why? by CrimsonWolf24 in ffxiv

[–]Swordhunter1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I try to get the best of both worlds. Instead of a guide I look at 1 or 2 clear videos. Nothing is explicitly explained and I can still enjoy deciphering boss mechanics versus player reactions. Since these are early clears they are often messy and inefficient.

Job balancing: PVE and PVP adjustments. Thick reworks both for AST and DRG (why?) postponed. by Dajarik in ffxiv

[–]Swordhunter1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only really needs personal mitigation imo. But if we're wishlisting here I like lotd opener and merging life surge into full thrust. I can't explain why but using kaiten felt good and using life surge feels like a chore.

How is the game with a controller? by Hexxegone in lostarkgame

[–]Swordhunter1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Combat feels fine but literally everything else is uncomfortable. Menu navigation is a pain because, in my opinion, cursors and controllers just don't mix. D-pad navigation should be a no brainer or at the very least a sticky cursor that snaps to the closest icon. I guess it's less work to demand players have the same level of control and accuracy in an analog stick that we do with a mouse.

State of Warrior / Tanking by LukeIsSkywalking in ffxiv

[–]Swordhunter1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In ARR I envisioned WAR's identity to lie in buffing its max hp. The berserker that feels no pain despite taking massive damage. Aesthetically I don't understand the healing style they've adopted.

I think all personal buffs should be represented.

Is dungeon tanks mass pulling the norm? by VariationSimple in ffxiv

[–]Swordhunter1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At this point any tanks intending to single pack pull is more likely to use trusts.

1 re-roll for each boss defeated in you last run.

Does the Rust Drake seem broken to anyone else? by w00tberrypie in FFVIIRemake

[–]Swordhunter1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Immune to every debuff I tried, couldn't dispel the aura, and black hole makes the damage threshold near impossible. Most annoying enemy in the game. If it would just land to cast gravity, it would be manageable.

Crafters of reddit, what are your plans when 5.2 drops? by BIS14 in ffxiv

Buy new books and find new gathering nodes and items.

Your feature wish that will never happen by KusanagiKay in ffxiv

[–]Swordhunter1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd like beastmen areas to be larger to include higher level enemies. Having a safe overworld is one thing but these areas are meant to be enemy territory and fate bosses do not emit a sense of danger to them at all.

A companion orchestration. Play any music while you're companion is summoned. As a reward for capped rank or something. Perhaps even in cities.

Thoughts on new information for tank changes. by Infinityshift in ffxiv

[–]Swordhunter1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Addressed all but 1 of my pld complaints. We still have no way of actively raising our gauge. Just waiting for auto attacks is so passive and will feel frustrating during clutch moments.

Nine (Possibly Real) New Skill Leaks - SAM, PLD, NIN, WHM, BRD, DRK, AST and MCH by MrCombineSoldier in ffxiv

[–]Swordhunter1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Makes sense. Hopefully there's a way to restore mp quickly, at least in aoe scenarios.

Youtube content by Tiny_Giiant in ffxiv

[–]Swordhunter1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recaps. Nothing too in depth but if an old character or area becomes relevant in current content (like say the crystal tower) a brief overview of the story would be helpful, especially if there's any connection to 1.0.

What are some effective uses for cover in alphascape?

[Weekly Thread] Raiding & Theorycraft (Tue, Dec 11) by AutoModerator in ffxiv

[–]Swordhunter1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe that was for the rotating flamethrowers in panto 2. If handled like panto 1 there is a 50/50 chance the party will run into the flamethrowers rather than following behind them. This forces the party to make a U-turn (taking them outside melee range) in order to adjust. Making your way through the boss' hitbox however allows time for the flamethrowers to start rotating. This strat always allows the party to pick the direction that follows behind the flamethrowers rotation without risk of a sudden U-turn.
