I don't know how far along you are, so I'll assume you're < lvl60. Poetics can be spent on i260(shire) gear in Idllyshire(not sure if you have access). Ironworks is outclassed at about lvl 52 now(and 50-60(i255) gear can be bought in Ishgard). So basically just save them til 60, unless you wanna gear up more jobs at 50.

This is my character. I am returning after a 3 year break and wondering where to even start. I barely remember anything. Is having a 50 craft, gold, even good now? Is my gear even manageable? Anyone have a quick link to what I can do to get myself going?

You're ok for a level 50 player. Just get cracking with all the new MSQs and it'll all come back to you. The dungeons and quests will have you geared in no time but if you have any gil left, you can probably (depending on your world) pick up some 50 gear cheap from the Marketboard if you are in a hurry. Having said that, the Heavensward quests will shower you with new gear too. You get HQ gearsets from just doing the main story and obviously there's dungeon gear.

Get challenge log if you don't have it yet for extra XP. Remember to have your chocobo buddy out to help if needed. Go visit the Manderville Golden Saucer. Have fun and explore!
Game is basically at a point where at 50 you are still leveling and a scrub whatever you choose to do.

poetics is great for leveling desynth.

I am on Hyperion if that means anything. Is crafting profitable?

I've noticed a lack of people using limit breaks while leveling through msq 50-60. I'm melee dps, when do I use it since they aren't?

Are there any bosses with a second stage after death in case I use it too early?

[Yukari]

They're usually saving the LB for you to use, because melee LB does the most to a single target. Pop it when you get to 2 gauges or when the boss is at ~10%. Don't wait too long to use it and basically have the boss get massively overkilled with it since you're just wasting the damage at that point.

[Boyiee]

I haven't been the only melee yet so when I've seen no one else use it I do, I always feel like I use it at the wrong time is all or like I said I'm afraid there will be a phase 2 after 0% lol.

[Spider-Dan]

No one will ever get mad at a melee for using a currently-full LB bar on a boss (or midboss). It is sometimes sub-optimal, but certainly not objectionable.

[Dotsudoku]

Use it ASAP on bosses, no matter the %. Otherwise let your caster use it in a pack anywhere else

Only problem with dungeon LBs is having them sit there unused. Splitting hairs otherwise

[gattsuru]

If you're melee DPS, you should generally be the one to use the Limit Break on a boss. The only real exception is speed-running dungeons and using it as a megaaoe on trash, one or two 8-man raids with AOE content, or progression Extreme/24-man raids where enough people have herped the derp that healers may need it instead.

There are a few places where there's marginal benefit to saving limit breaks for adds or specific phases of the fight, but people will generally bring these up beforehand. The only bosses that have multiple health bars are things like the first boss of Amdapor Keep NM, where it's pretty obvious. That said, you do want to avoid using the LB during invulnerability phases, as the boss will not take damage, or with massive AOE.

Generally, if you're melee, if no one has mentioned otherwise before the pull, and if the second bar is full or the boss is under 10% HP, hit it.

Thanks everyone.

Yep. AST only has 3 dps spells too, you're either casting combust+malefic or combust+gravity. But you also get cards, earthly star (does dmg) and lord of crowns (extra dps card). Managing all of those while keeping your eye on your party keeps you busy enough most of the time.

WHM is slightly better off as it has 3 spells to keep up at all times, aero2/3 and stone or holy, which granted isnt much...but it also has good mp management and extra dps in the form of assize.


I guess SE hoped constantly recasting your pet would keep you busy on SCH.
AST is the king of healers right now so you might as well play that.

[Dotsudoku]

I'm really trying to understand the problem, but is losing a DOT really killing everyone's enjoyment that much? Bio, Miasma, Broil. You still have plenty of damage at your disposal, even if you're casting Broil one GCD sooner
