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

[Hiryo]

lol I went all the way around to get it as well... couldn't find my way up when I did it.

You guys should have just assumed every ledge is a Tailfeather quest ledge. Go all the way to one corner->If there isn't a ledge here, its on the opposite corner.

[Kiarax]

I'd like to mention that from where the character is on that map, that could have just went to the red dot to the SE and then went up the cliffs to the west to get it. No need to go allll the way around.

Fairly certain you cannot do that, because I sure as fuck tried.

I did it myself. Only thought back to that post when I realized it was the same area. Did it at least two or three times, for the current and hunts that popped there while I was leveling.

Guildwork still isn't fixed and RMT are making their comeback.

[Buffy]

I'm pretty sure it's fixed for direct x9, it's just direct x11 that still has no add-on I believe.

Anyone checked Stanislav's twitter recently?

[Ratatapa]

hunts are still wonky for DX9 but yeah most of it works

[Niiro]

I ain't goin back to DX9, game runs so much better on DX11.

[Ratatapa]

i'm not graphic guy so do n't need DX11

[Niiro]

Doesn't even have to do with graphics, the game actually runs smoother with the DX11 client for me.

Is getting annoying. Got my first tell in an expansion-pack zone the other night. Every other time since launch it's always when I went to a 2.0 zone.

Experiencing the most oppressive lag in Ravana, been like this the last few days but it's just getting worse.

[avelle]

It's 2015 and not being able to send tells to people in duties is still dumb.

Like last night in Amdapor HM for HL: roulette. DRK mass pulled, used no CDs..proceeded to die. It's on obsolete content so I said: "I hope you stay out of HW dungeons." and left. 30 minutes bedamned, I'd rather watch spongebob than deal with that.

There are far too many DRKs who don't understand that their job is to TANK. Not just to stand there and look cool. I constantly run into squishy as fuck DRKs who don't know what a cooldown is or that they have to keep the mobs off the other party members. I can't wait until the bandwagoning on DRK is over. I swear, it's the new NIN.

As for the talk about when healing gets tough, Vault is absolutely the line. If you haven't upgraded your gear past ironworks by that point you're gonna have a bad time. Blew through everything until then on my way up to 60, hit Vault, suddenly everything was very scary (compared to how it used to be when everyone was overgeared for everything, of course). Undergeared/super casual healers are going to have a hard time there if the tank is undergeared and/or the dps are slow.

Vault is definitely the idiot/gear check. Love the bosses in that dungeon, though on black mage they were terrible but most bosses are for them.

Haven't had any problems past few days but tonight was some shit, passing preys was damn near impossible and people were randomly DCing. Was pretty shit.

[Korialstrasz]

Never will I ever again try to salvage an Ultros run with well timed jumps when the DPS can't get more than 3 stacks of wet pallet between them. I legit feel bad that some of these people now have a clear, and have no idea why they got that clear. "I guess it bugged and we just didn't wipe lols"

DPS across the room while imped, DPS standing in both megavolt and fire attack, people walking off the edge, OT stood on the very edge and was blown off every sneeze, people running from the huge safe areas directly into the wind (front and back), etc.

[Alkar]

Alexander Savage is gonna be fun I bet. Didn't Yoshida mention that healers should probably DPS in there to meet the DPS checks? Because I'm looking at my gear and I don't see any accuracy on it... and I'm missing in level 60 dungeons.
If we don't see any accuracy on newer gear I guess the best team for raids will be AST+SCH.

[cute]

Why AST is best?

[Jem]

In the context of that post? Because they buff the DPS damage without having to rely on their own accuracy

[Niiro]

Combust and Combust II have no initial damage, and thus no accuracy check.

Combust is identical to Bio (40 pot/18s = 240) while Combust 2 (45 pot/30s = 450 potency) is actually superior to Bio II (35 pot/30s = 350 potency).

SCH still has Shadow Flare to throw in as well tho.

SCH + AST also gives you both Supervirus and Disable.
