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

[KCem]

I don't mind mages using fluid aura, I can kind of see the logic to doing it, punt a mob away to reduce the amount of healing required, not that it does much in the long run. It's annoying when they do it to the mob that's currently being focused down though, or in an aoe heavy party. I personally like to use it as a ghetto stun where I can.

[Twilight Sky]

Never had to use it. When I tank I hate knockbacks.

[Deuce]

Yeah there's so much latency at times that you can never be sure about cleric's coming off in the right moment. I've had it happen where after the fact holmgang wasn't needed, but I'd rather not play russian roulette with the server lag.

[Silenka]

Same, cleric's has fucked me several times to the point where I miss a few dps opportunities because I just can't trust that it's not going to lag or double queue the action. Unfortunately usually better to play safe than get a little more dps out but have the tank die. Like pet actions (garuda, y u no do contagion!?!), I wish cleric's was responsive differently.

[BaneTheBrawler]

she can't contagion, she's busy pulling the next pack

[Twilight Sky]

For me, cleric stance sometimes just want fucking turn off and when I think it has, I notice my heals are gimped.

I always use it when it's going to be the killshot.

[Elcura]

I always use it when it's going to be the killshot.

But then it's not and rage.

[Alistaire]

Nah I either get the killshot or time it a second late, in which case mob dies and I save it for the next.

So, if I'm understanding this right, SE is discouraging restricting party composition by restricting party composition via gimping LB for stacked pre-mades.

Yes. It's also rumored it'll be reverted in a post update patch at some point because the JP threw a hissy fit.

[Katlan]

did they even beta test estate sharing EVEN ONCE? it doesn't even work... period.. this is what happens when you tele to a shared estate. it happens to me and anybody else who tries so its not a bug... they just didnt test it period

[Destinye]

That kind of error is always funny because it's a simple typo >.>

[Lokus]

I'm shared to 2 houses and that didn't happen to me. I did read that some people get are unable to even teleport though. Shitton of bugs all around so we're going to get quite a couple "hotfixes".

[Ragns]

Some devs are going to have a super happy fun time not sleeping for a while to fix these and that knockable A4 bug.

Clearly a 24 hours downtime wasn't enough.

[Katlan]

Lol what's the A4 bug?

[Ragns]

Lol what's the A4 bug?

[Katlan]

hahahaha.. that's amazing

[Destinye]

hahahaha.. that's amazing

I like to call it: "Beta test for Omega mechanics." Since I'll be damned if Omega doesn't move at all.

[FHT]

Is it me or this patch brougth back an aweful amount of low DPS player?
