On JP clusters there's a tendency to not AE because it will "inconvenience" the tank, apparently, and as a result quite a few tanks before 50 are terrible at holding hate on more than one target. I've even seen SMN and SCH with fucking alert macros for Bane. Like "casting Bane! se.1."

I usually just started AE anyway (past tense because Insatiable and DL or higher on everything, yay) and hope people will join with me, but I wanted to cry when BLMs Sleeped everything over and over again when they could cast Fire 2. And one time someone said he's not going to AE adds because Fire 2 costs too much MP, you know, that virtually unlimited resource they have. Why the heck would you level BLM if not to blow all the things up, all the time?

**OWS_Tonx** · 2014-02-19 17:41

I can slightly understand sleeping stuff at lower levels but at 50 doing something so nerfed as WP or AK and not blowing everything up is kinda dumb. Not even kinda, it's full on retarded

**Qeomash** · 2014-02-19 18:04

While leveling WHM and BLM, I would typically throw out at least one sleep per mob group if there was nobody in the party who would AOE (WAR, SMN, etc.) just to make things easier on the tank and healer. I would not bother to resleep if someone woke the mob up.

I recently did a Halatali as SMN where I was constantly putting dots on all the mobs. The healer would sleep things at the start, then resleep them after my application of dots would wake them up.

As for AOEs...I rarely bother unless the other DPS in the dungeon is also able to AOE.

When leveling my WAR to 50 in Aurum Vale, I told the 2 BLM in my party to use Fire2 when they were spamming sleep (which I just woke up with Overpower anyway). I got kicked as soon as we weren't in active combat anymore. I've also had people try to explain how marking mobs apparently increases damage dealt to a mob.

Lol

Increases damage insofar as people stop being fucking retarded and attack the same thing.

**Obsidian** · 2014-02-20 01:36

Summoner and Scholar are now counted as separate jobs when determining the speed at which the limit break gauge is filled.

Not sure if this is more Random Fail, but the fact that this wasn't the case already blows my mind.

Also, I'm not really sure why they're changing the AoE indicators but somehow they've made them even harder for colourblind people to see. Which is hilarious because this patch adds more superfluous colourblind "support".

**Seravi Edalborez** · 2014-02-20 01:42

The extra line in the middle of the effect area looked goofy at first but I can kind of see why it's there. As is you can sometimes lose track of where a cone is emanating from if there's like 50 of them.

**Obsidian** · 2014-02-20 01:59

I'm not convinced further obfuscating all the markers with extra opacity is going to solve that problem.

I just assumed it was another one of their colour-blind tweaks in the grand scheme of things. I wouldn't mind a move to polygonal AoE markers though so we don't get stuff like in CT where the AoE is so large, it gets a fuzzy edge due to the texture stretching.

**solracht** · 2014-02-20 06:07

the middle thing inside the aoe marker moves

looks sort of nifty

**Kaisha** · 2014-02-20 07:34

Don't mind me. Just stuck here mid-air in a falling animation for a moment because I'm waiting on my PS3 to load the "not on mount" shit thanks to SE fucking with how mounts are handled in 2.16.

**FHT** · 2014-02-20 08:01

Can one of the mod put back a "Player Warning" like thread for XIV? I see more & more Ninja lot going on everywhere and its starting to get really frustrating.

**The Stig** · 2014-02-20 08:14

There's a sub forum for that: http://www.bluegartr.com/forums/159-...layer-Warnings

**FHT** · 2014-02-20 08:16

Thank you very much, did not look properly it seems.

**Seravi Edalborez** · 2014-02-20 10:26

I don't know if this is complaint or praise yet;

Wish List feature is... weird. It doesn't show PUBLICLY that a specific character is seeking a specific item, but if say 500 people have Wind Shards on their wish list, it will show as 500 Demand on the price page. This also puts a stupid heart on the list where you scroll through items. So if you profit from something obscure, it's like telling the server "hey check this out".

Also the decision to put Waymarks under their own subheading instead of just being a General action or grouped with Markings. Also Ready Check seemingly not keybind-able in any way. Have to navigate the little red menu buttons.

Also not being able to UNTRACK quests (as in, if you have 5 quests you must have 5 quests "tracked" even if you're not selecting one). Jesus fuck why can they not get this right?

ALSO the party finder notification is fucking pointless. It doesn't filter. Just says "x parties are recruiting". Amazing.

first person mount crap is awful, please allow us an option to remove it
