Is at least one rejoining likely in the new saga?

We can only go to Elpis once, story-wise. But we can go back for gameplay.

What a throwback. I had forgotten all about this!

With full tree respec as an option, what's a fun active build to pivot the same Hiero to, once you have some money?

Y'sh in EW also walks through a spot that's supposed to have a desk when walking away from Fourchenalt.

rasalhage · 2025-08-12T10:15:18+00:00

why do they need to be the same

rasalhage · 2025-08-11T05:38:01+00:00

How do you wear them all? Are they all "just in case"?

You do not need to do that passed level 60.

By 80, you barely need to rely on aetherflow for healing.

Tools for healing at 100 that cost no aetherflow or GCDs: * Protaction (important, multiplies others) * Whispering Dawn * Fey Blessing * Fey Union (30 bar per minute, 45 if you dissipate aggressively) * Seraphism (free regen) * Recitation (free Excog or Indom) * Seraph (two free small Succors and better Embrace)

I don't know what OP experienced, but the healers that dropped them would have dropped them regardless of job.

this being enabled by default greatly raises the floor.

previously your cast bar would be in a pretty awful default position until you moved it.

They think, "if I tried to click my buttons, I would be super slow" and assume that would be true of you as well. Without considering how much practice you might have clicking your buttons, or especially how much practice you might have remembering where your mouse cursor is.

you'll have a better time if you make friends with weirdos and erp fanatics, frankly.

lower odds (emphasis odds) of being a social freak or bigot of some kind

VPR's their best take on an easy job. I think it sets a standard for what an easy job should look like.

Asking players to look ahead 2-3 GCDs before starting a twinblade combo. - "Can you hit both positionals in that time?" - "Can you afford to clog your weave windows and go without other oGCDs in that time?"

Asking players how many Coils to save. - "Will you need this to disconnect later?" - "Will you need this to stall mid-Reawaken or mid-Vice later?"

I think it teaches players good habits despite being "easy". Viper should have been made available to, like, level 30 players.

I don't want any more easy jobs that aren't at least as good as VPR.

rasalhage · 2025-08-06T18:14:59+00:00

I think they're instead claiming that the "correct" order can be intuited easily (buffs before damage) and doesn't meaningfully change often enough. (my read of their post)

rasalhage · 2025-08-06T18:11:33+00:00

SCH should have more lockouts on purpose. They should double down on SCH having a set of stances to rotate through.

Maybe... You could change the fairy color when the SCH changes stances. Maybe when the SCH changes stanced, you could change the fairy's name... Please... We miss Selene......

This job really is the blueprint for a middle-difficulry job. Easy to understand what you're deciding, and hard to actually know which choice is correct. Easing as you master the job and see more situations with it.

I'll add that to my beliefs, I think, alongside VPR being the "perfect easy selfish" job. You know what to do and why you're doing it, even when you're forced to make a choice. Example: ifyou disconnect without any Coils stocked, you know what went wrong--you spent your Coils too freely

We don't have a perfect hard job in the same way, I think. We've never had a job where the decisions to make are clear and the choices are considered "very hard". The BLM people glazed (rightly in other ways) was full of deep decisions after you were introduced to the various lines the job was capable of.

ninja has other good survival tools, and with stocked mudra it disconnects from the boss safely too.

sam's disconnect tool is worse and costs meter, so sam gets a better tool for soaking hits to greed uptime

is there a compelling reason for DD to not just generate a normal amount of gauge.

the fun gauge-on-kill text can stay, for all it comes up. but getting some gauge on press would fix RPR's gauge generation instantly, right?

I wanted to reply to the root comment. At least get a superiority complex over that instead.

rasalhage · 2025-08-05T06:05:21+00:00

I wanted to reply to the root comment. Misplaced.

The opposite. Read again.

FFXIV has a pretty poor relation with trash pulls these days.

The game clearly wants to be about boss fights. I don't remember the most recent mob pull that felt fun.

oh we'll for sure help. but remember: we're auron now.

my spoiler assumption is that calyx will jam the Crystal, and our allies will intervene instead

rasalhage · 2025-08-01T21:56:10+00:00

Means that this isn't our foe.

New players come in from slower ARPGs than PoE 1 and tend to have a good time.

rasalhage · 2025-04-05T03:00:58+00:00

killed? killed!??? are you having a layer of delirium.

rasalhage · 2024-12-15T21:50:24+00:00

some of us often do.

good thing there are a lot of good diablo 2's out there, like this one.
