FFXIV Random Complaint Thread II: DPS can't count to potato

[Dammerung]

Yes, but you aren't going to do that with DF healers.

[Detzu]

Isn't it possible to solo tank Ifrit EX? Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. I only did that fight once and it left a bad taste in my mouth with how bad it went.

Yes it's possible, but the healers have to feel comfortable with it. If they look for two tanks then we should swap at 3.

[Alkimi]

I complained about it a month ago but, literally DK-only MNK. Also I have seen, in 2015 alone, three DF MNKs in a variety of content (Brayflox Hard, Big Keep, Sastasha HM) who literally could not maintain GL3. Or even GL1.

I could swear these people are fucking macro MNKs are something because they always start over from Bootshine when bosses go out of range or they get stunned or their target dies.

Had a worse one, but I'm convinced it's a troll. Nobody can be this bad... can they?

Spoiler: show

One tank is fairly simple. My FC farmed it this weekend and we found it was better I went WAR just to reduce DPS issues and simplifiy the tether mechanic and nail eruptions. So yes solo tank but bringing a second to be #2 on hate list makes things smoother.

Decided to help a buddy with his relic, went for Chim on war, cause I wanted a fast queue....

[Grey Jorildyn]

For that stuff you're better off solo queing as the only ppl still after chim are likely to be those without any friends willing to queue with them.

XIV finally has something similar to World of Logs for super detailed, incredibly useful parses to analyze fights and the like, and what is the first thing anyone can think of? "Oh no! Pugs are going to get harassed even more now! This is a bad idea!"

Fuck this fucking community.

Wow, the replay function is incredibly useful for people trying to learn fights. Thanks!

Though if reddit comments are to be believed, that specific site isn't being updated because...

Uh oh I've have already discontinued this project 2~ weeks ago because there is another log site coming out that has an established infrastructure made by the same person who did warcraftlogs, with even more features. The original plan for the project was to allow people who wish to display their speed kills in detail rather than a screenshot and to let free company log their group/static raids on their website (the same way I did for my FC, can check my post history for info), a guildwork widget to list it, with the option to opt in for leaderboard. In the 4 months this site was up, I did not post it on reddit simply because it was far from finished and there was no context/privacy setting to the data so I can see how people are thinking this can be used to witch hunt

[Kirbyprime]

I don't know how WoW logs work but some of the supposed features they're totting would be fairly helpful. I mean, DPS logs could be used to shame people, sure. I hope they have the option to set logs to private. I would really love the top / down display for replays which would help a lot for progression.

Please SE remove the trash from T11!

Please SE remove the trash from T11!

Just bring your i110 crafted in! Bonds very fast in T11.

I'm stock piling i110 in case they convert to Vs.

How the fuck do you have space for that.

[Fievel]

Honest question, how do people not have space? What exactly are you holding on to?

I have everything at 50, every job has gear, all crafts and gatherers geared, and I craft quite a bit so I even have a stash of random mats on one of my retainers. Despite all of that I have at least ~100 spots between my retainers and about 55-60 open spots in my chars inventory.

Do people not use the armoire? or what?

[Taint]

4 Retainers helps.

I don't keep that much gear in my retainers but cooking ingredients NQ/HQ (fish, etc.), sol/myth mats, unspoiled gathering items... they all add up x_x Some of them I have several stacks of for future use. I'm not 100% full on my 4 retainers, but I keep coming close to it =_=... 18 spaces free on me atm with probably 30-40 across all retainers since I have some crafting mats/lures/pots/food on me at all times just in case. Since I was basically in a solo FC for a while, I use the chest for personal stuff as well.

For most people, they hoard a TON of gear and that is why their retainers are full along with their inventory, lol.

[Niiro]

WHY ARE THESE DYES EX

I DON'T FUCKING WANT THEM LET ME SELL THE GODDAMN THINGS

[Fiye]

You can have someone trade you gear to dye it for them in return for price. Requires some trust though.

[Yukari]

Also requires you to be dying non-EX/bound gear.

[Niiro]

Cause that's not a miserable pain in the ass.

Unless they're paying me 100K+ per fuck that.

[Niiro]

Unrelated: they need to bring back the "hold" chat filter option from XI.
